Movie Marathons (MM #4633)

"I realize the way we watch television has changed a lot over recent years, and it's all because of the streaming services. But I really think they overdid things over the holiday weekend, where a lot of the channels were running marathons of holiday movies. I know a lot of it was TBS and TNT, but they ran 24 -hour straight versions of Elf and Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story, and I know I'm forgetting a few, but a lot of Christmas programming over the Thanksgiving weekend. Now, I understand why they do this. In years past, marathons were kind of left to the days when people weren't really watching. For example, Christmas Story has been running a marathon every Christmas Eve to Christmas Day for decades now. But it looks like we're going to be seeing more of that because we can watch Christmas Story year -round now. We can watch any movie, any TV show, year -round. People aren't watching cable TV or the TV networks quite as much, so they're looking for ways to get people excited. It's easy, it's cheap. How many more times can you watch a Christmas Story, Elf, or even Christmas Vacation? Just a matter of time for some channels or 24 -hour marathons all the time.

Chris Reflects on His Incredible Bond With His Daughter

"Now, how is your daughter handling all this? Three years old, is she doing the sleepovers like great? Because I know you've only had a couple. So I just had my first sleepover, not last Wednesday, but the Wednesday before. So I've never had a time in which I haven't seen my daughter except when they withheld her. So it was like a month or two during that time. But no matter what, I was always, always seeing my daughter every Monday, Wednesday, Friday in the middle of the day, and every other Saturday and Sunday consistently. Never missed any time unless they were the ones withholding. And so, you know, the time difference has been difficult because like you're constantly back and forth dropping off. But for the most part, we have an amazing bond. Like I don't know if it's necessarily really affected her because the first overnight, not a single problem. Like she was like in heaven being here with Daddy. Like she has her own bed and I'm like, are you going to go sleep in your own bed? Are you going to sleep in, where do you want to sleep? And it's like, I'm going to sleep in Daddy's bed. I was like, but don't you want to try your bed out? I'll lay down, but I'm going to sleep in Daddy's bed. And like she just like sprawled out and she was like laying horizontal like my dog on the pillows. And it was like just, it was really adorable. But more importantly, like it was that whole day. I had 24 hours with her where like I wasn't in a rush to do anything. I just, I got to go about my normal day and I had her with me and she was so happy. And just spending the day with Daddy and the doggies and just, it was just so much fun. And then she's now looking forward to it because now she knows Wednesday's on my overnights. But then, you know, October is going to come really quick and now I'm going to have every Wednesday and every Friday. So it's really, it really was something else having her just the entire time without having to negotiate a time back and forth. And part of my negotiating now is like, you know, October is going to be an odd month for the other party because I have her every Friday. Which doesn't give her a weekend. And so I even offered, like, you know, here I am, like, I'm like, listen, you don't have a full weekend. If you want, I'll move the weekends that I don't have her and I'll move that Friday to a different day during the week. I'll have her different, a different day during the week for the overnight and then you'll have a full weekend with her. She still hasn't even responded to that. And that's what's crazy because most men, even me, like I talk about that stuff and I'm like, you're not only compromising for your daughter. But you're also compromising for your, your ex to make her life easier and have her be able to have your daughter on the weekends and things like that. It's like, why would you not try to get along and do that stuff? You know, again, it's, it's, and I, and I've always said this, I said this to everybody, it's not necessarily the ex. Her and I, if you take away the family core thing, her and I have always gotten along really well. It's her mother that's controlling her. She is, she is a pretty amazing person if you take away the grandmother. And so it's the grandmother making these decisions and not her. So like her, her option is either listen to the grandmother and just don't communicate at all, which is what, that's been her strategy this whole time. Is she doesn't have to cooperate because the courts have made the least amount of decisions possible until now. Now she knows that the court is like, you know, it was just a huge bombshell. I did not expect a 50 50 physical custody agreement. Like I did not, I was like mind blown. I just, I was like everyone on my side cause I had people there of course it was like crying. They're like, I'm in tears. Everyone's in tears. They're like, what just happened? It's like, what on earth just happened? Like, you know, I, I just, I just finished a criminal accusation which was indicted and you know, the judge, I actually, there was, there was a pretty big bombshell actually that happened. So part of my PTI is I need to get a psychological evaluation. But part of the transcripts that I showed you before is the judge wanted her to get a psychological evaluation, which basically was us like in 2021. But then the judge backpedaled because my attorney at the time was like, well, the burden of proof is on her. So if you want us to do a psychological evaluation, she should pay for it. And the judge completely backpedaled. She's like, Oh, well she doesn't have support. So how do you expect her to pay for it? Well, you're the one who wanted the evaluation. Okay, we're not going to issue the evaluation. But imagine if an evaluation was issued then how much, how, how nothing else possibly would have happened. I probably never would have been wrongfully accused of a crime. Like she would have been forced to co -parent or I would have had more, more parenting rights or more time with my daughter and she would have had, she would have been forced to co -parent.

A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 11/14/23

"Lots of channels. Nothing to watch. Especially if you're searching for the truth. It's time to interrupt your regularly scheduled programs with something actually worth watching. Salem News Channel. Straightforward, unfiltered, with in -depth insight and analysis from the greatest collection of conservative minds. Like Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, Sebastian Gorka, and more. Find truth. Watch 24 -7 on SNC .TV and on Local Now, Channel 525. 738 on this Tuesday, the 14th day of November. Lots of Texas political news. But I did get a chance to spend a moment there in the opening half hour saying that I grow weary of the moral fog. In fact, on Twitter just a couple of moments ago, in these fractured times, I'm glad to give a Democrat some credit. Democrat Senator Chris Coons, who is right on Israel, was confronted by this stooge pro -Hamas activist on a train who badgered him. Why not a ceasefire? Why not a ceasefire? Sometimes moral clarity is something that needs to be delivered in a certain fashion. I'd like to think I have it intellectually and conceptually. My buddy Mike Gallagher joins us, who had an experience yesterday that will bring that kind of clarity in the harshest but necessary terms. I just can't wait to see how this day went. It had to be amazing and I'm just so glad you're here and the floor is yours. And tell everybody what you got a chance to do yesterday. Well, it was something that no one would want to see. It was pretty brutal. It was worse than I thought it was going to be. Israel put together a 45 -minute sort of a collection of video and audio and still photographs. They were videos from the terrorists' GoPros and their cell phones. There were closed -circuit videos and there were audio intercepts. They got audio recordings of the terrorists calling their families. The IDF was able to tap into some of these calls where they were calling their parents excitedly, saying, I just killed 10 Jews with my bare hands, Mom. Your son is a hero. Your son is a hero, Aloha Akbar. And they're all joyful and ecstatic. A couple of takeaways. When you watch the brutality of the violence that they inflicted on these innocent men, women, children, elderly people, there are a couple of things that really stand out. Number one, the ecstasy and the joy that the Hamas terrorists experienced as they were killing people, including little babies in little onesies and little daisy outfits and cute little kids covered in blood, slaughtered brutally. And they were absolutely euphoric, Mark. That's the only word to use. It was ecstatic for them. They had such a joy. And I kept telling myself, there's no way they think that Jews are human. There's no way that they regard them as human beings. You couldn't do that to another human being and have that kind of satisfaction. I mean, let's face it. When you think about crime in America or crimes of passion or murders or robberies or whatever, what have you, normal people don't have euphoria when they cut somebody's head off. They don't get joyful and they don't call their moms and brag about it and say, look what I did. Look what I did. So number one, that's one of the big takeaways. And the other thing I kept thinking about, and it was a somber mood. It was at the Israeli embassy. There were a number of some media people there, some pastors. It was a gathering from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews who we worked with closely right after the terror attack of October the 7th. About 60 people in the room, maybe 70. It was very somber. It was very well done. But as you can imagine, there were tears. There was crying. There was weeping. One pastor in front of me, in fact, he happens to be a pastor from Sarasota, not far from where I'm at right now. When it was over, he kind of flung himself down onto the ground and laid across the stage and was laying on his belly just heaving, just crying and sobbing. I mean, you're looking right at the face of the devil. You're looking at evil with this. And I kept thinking, Mark, how I wish the people marching at Columbia and Harvard and in Austin, how I wish they could see this video. From the river to the sea, you proud now? You proud now? I mean, you know, the one pastor, I spent some time, I pulled double duty after the show and then I did the screening at this embassy. And then I was asked to do an afternoon show for WAVA, which is a huge Christian teaching and talk station. Over in Arlington, yeah. Yep, the Arlington. And so Don Crow has been out on a medical leave and they asked me to fill in for him. And I had with me Bishop Lanier, who is the chairman of the board of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, as a very profound speaker, very eloquent, very, you know, just a great orator and a great man of the cloth. And he said, look, I don't think we're going to change their minds. We need to change our minds. We need to change what we say from the pulpit. We've got to stop the equivocation. Well, it's two sides here. People are dying on both sides. That is both -sides -ism of the worst possible stripe. It really is, Mark. And I just want to reiterate that because I don't know that Israel, listen, if Israel was guilty of any of the stuff that I saw yesterday, that I experienced, and again, I'm not trying to be melodramatic. It's one of the most painful things I've ever, ever encountered. I mean, and I'll spare you gory details. You can imagine how bad it was. I mean, you already have seen some of it, you know, lining up on the streets and just shooting into cars of innocent passengers trying to drive down the street. But there was one scene in particular that got to me the most. I do want to share it with you. There was a father alone with his sons. The mother was gone, and it was in the kibbutz. They did a horrible massacre in this kibbutz, which is like a Jewish religious holy neighborhood, you know. But they're beautiful little homes. I mean, oh, their homes were so cute and decorated and, you know, plants on the porches and everything. And they were meticulously taken care of. So here's this father in the house, and it's all captured on the family's closed -circuit video. So they had like a ring system all throughout the house and outside, and it was all captured. So the father is with these two boys. I would guess the one little boy was about seven or eight. The other one was probably 11 or 12. And the little boys were in their underwear. And the shots ring out, and the father, they're all terrified, and the father desperately tries to protect his children. He scoops them both up, and they run into the backyard, and they go into a little shed that's in the backyard. It looked like a little gardening shed. And you see a Hamas terrorist come around the corner and casually pull the pit off of a grenade and throw the grenade in the shed. And it blows up, and the father immediately slumps out of the shed dead. You could tell he's instantly dead. But the two little boys are alive, and they come running out in their underwear. The one boy, you can see it looks like his eye is missing. He is terrified. The two little boys are crying, Daddy, Daddy, Mommy, Mommy. They go into the kitchen. Now the closed -circuit video picks them up in the kitchen where they're talking to each other. And they said to each other, and it's all translated, of course, and they said, Is this real? Is this real? I think we're going to die. Daddy died. Daddy died. Where's Mommy? Where's Mommy? And then the one little boy turns to his brother, his little brother, and says, Can you see out of that eye? He says, No, I can't. And he looks at him, and you can see that it looks like his whole side of his face was injured from the grenade. And he says, You can't? You can't? You can't see? He goes, No, I can't see anything out of my eye. And the little boys are crying, and they're calling for their Mommy. And then the closed -circuit shifts back to the backyard where a kibbutz security guard, actually two security guards, have escorted the mother to the property. She had been away. So they take her to the back of the shed where her dead husband is laying. She is now in anguish and screaming and collapsing and screaming, Where are my boys? Where are my boys? At the same time, the two boys, they run out of the house in the front, trying to escape. And Lord knows what fate they met. I don't have a whole lot of high hope that they made it. And I'd like to look into that. I'm going to follow up with my friends at the fellowship to see if those boys were reunited with their mother. But that's the human suffering that I wish people who seem to dehumanize Jews would see. It was eye -opening. I'm glad I did it. I'm honored that I did it. I'm glad you did, too. I'm so glad. But it was awful. And I wouldn't want anybody to see it. For people who – and sometimes you can hear people in your headphones and hear people driving around. And I want to give a voice to people saying we could show a horrible video of a Palestinian child to whom something terrible has happened, and that is undeniably true.

"XRP ETF. First, it was just a glimmer of hope. And then it was a rumor. And then it was confirmed. It was confirmed to be a fake rumor. What was going on in the markets? If you're alive with those ATB, you're a part of that emotional roller coaster. We're going to cover all that and more as Discover Crypto. I was in a glass box of emotions, everybody. How are we all doing today? Make sure you go and hit that like button. We got Tim and Rodney on the ones and twos today. Tim, he's going to help us cover some of this macro news here. You're more in tune with the Jay, the Chirpow and what's going on with that. Also, you can help decipher the charts with XRP. What was going on with that, guys? It was very, very volatile. And then we got Rodney. He's going to break down some stuff with Grok. That's right. Now you got another meme coin for us, right? No, it's just Grok. We're back again today, baby. Holding it down for the DJs. Speaking of coming back, what was that one of the top gainers we had for the past 24 hours in the top 10? The last 24 hours? I think it was Matic. Yeah, Matic's been shining, getting up. It got to $0 .98. So almost to that dollar, got rejected right there. What coin did I live by on the stream yesterday? It was Matic, everybody. So I'm feeling good about that one. I'm going to go ahead and dislocate my shoulder from patting myself on the back so much. Chat, make sure you give that like. We got a lot of people in here today, DCA and Prey. He sees the special background. All right, everybody. But first, we're going to cover that XRP news. Tim, did you see the charts? Were you live looking at it? What was your emotions at the time? We were wrapping out the show on Investing Bros. So it was like Investing Bros. We got the best clothes. We got jewelry and all the... We're literally like, all right, guys, we're wrapping out the show today. And then all of a sudden, XRP jumps up above 70 cents and then it jumps above 70 and it just keeps going. And so we end up having to run a little long. You usually get off that four so that everyone goes over to ATB. But, you know, we had to run a little long and we just went nuts with it. Went all the way up. Did we end up... That's before. I'm on the daily chart. Where do we end up getting to with the top? I think we closed down. We hadn't yet come down.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Rising Venture Capital Investment in Crypto

"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal. It's Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto as Macro Now newsletter on Substat. On today's show, we're talking about new inflows into the crypto ecosystem, inflation, and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice and turn on notifications. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. Crypto prices were heading down earlier today, but then we got some good news on the US inflation. I'll talk more about this in a moment. This has turned the mood around, with many assets clawing back some of the day's losses. According to CoinDesk indices, at 9 a .m. Eastern time today, Bitcoin was trading at $36 ,546, down almost 1 % over the past 24 hours, although up 1 .5 % over the past hour alone. Ether was trading down 0 .75 % over the past 24 hours at $2 ,043. Elsewhere, Cosmos, Filecoin, and the Lido DAO token were down 9%. Solana and Polkadot were down 3 .5%. Ripple's XRP token had an interesting day yesterday. A tweet reported that BlackRock had filed for an XRP trust in Delaware. This was taken as a sign that the asset manager was planning to file a proposal for a spot XRP ETF, and the asset jumped 12 % in just a few minutes. The news turned out to be fake, however. I mean, it's very, very unlikely BlackRock would file for an ETF based on asset that not only doesn't have a CME derivatives market, but is still in active securities litigation. Needless to say, the XRP price corrected sharply shortly after, with both moves triggering significant losses in derivatives positions. Earlier today, XRP was still up over the past 24 hours, but only around 1%. In macro indicators, the US inflation data for the month of October is in. And it came in soft, which is very good news. To recap, in September, the headline CP index increased by 3 .7%, and consensus estimates for October pointed to a 3 .3 % increase. That itself would have been good. But the number came in even softer, at 3 .2%. Even more relevant for the US Federal Reserve is the Core CPI index, since this strips out the volatile components of food and energy. In September, Core CPI jumped by 4 .1 % year on year, and expectations were for that rate of increase to hold steady in October. The actual figure came in at 4 .0%, the smallest increase since September 2021. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shelter accounted for the bulk of the increase in the Core Inflation Index, but much less so than expected. And it seems lower energy prices are also doing their bit. On a monthly basis, Core CPI grew by 0 .2%, less than expected. This brings the three -month average monthly gain down to 0 .3%, lower than last year's average of 0 .5%. The average needs to come down further to give the Fed some breathing room, but it is progress. A US rate hike at the December FOMC meeting was unlikely anyway, given market tension, geopolitical fragility, and the likelihood of a government shutdown starting this weekend. This release now takes that totally off the table. As we head into record, US yields are heading down fast, with the 10 -year Treasury yield plummeting as investors were holding their breath for the inflation report. The good news in the figures has given the market a jolt of energy, with futures pointing to a very strong open. European indices were more positive yesterday, with the FTSE 100 up 0 .9%, the German DAX up 0 .6%, and the Euro Stoxx 600 up 0 .75%. The US figures are extending this trend for the DAX and the as investors digest the UK cabinet reshuffle. In Asia, stocks were cautiously positive today, with both Japan's Nikkei index and China's Shanghai Composite climbing 0 .3 % and the Hang Seng losing almost 0 .2%. In commodities, oil continues to head up, despite a report out this morning from the International Energy Agency that insists global oil markets won't be as tight as expected this quarter. The agency recognizes that demand is growing, as OPEC said yesterday, but non -OPEC supply apparently is growing even more. The market doesn't seem convinced yet, however, and the Brent crude benchmark is up 0 .4 on the day, trading at $83 .67 a barrel. After falling more than 1 % yesterday, gold today is benefiting from a drop in the $DXY index, as US yields digest the good inflation figures. Earlier today, gold was trading up over 0 .5 % at $1 ,956 per ounce. Stay with us. After the break, we're going to talk about new crypto investment.

Eastern time today, Bitcoin was trading at $36 ,546, down almost 1 % over the past 24 hours, although up 1 .5 % over the past hour alone. Ether was trading down 0 .75 % over the past 24 hours at $2 ,043. Elsewhere, Cosmos, Filecoin, and the Lido DAO token were down 9%. Solana and Polkadot were down 3 .5%. Ripple's XRP token had an interesting day yesterday. A tweet reported that BlackRock had filed for an XRP trust in Delaware. This was taken as a sign that the asset manager was planning to file a proposal for a spot XRP ETF, and the asset jumped 12 % in just a few minutes. The news turned out to be fake, however. I mean, it's very, very unlikely BlackRock would file for an ETF based on asset that not only doesn't have a CME derivatives market, but is still in active securities litigation. Needless to say, the XRP price corrected sharply shortly after, with both moves triggering significant losses in derivatives positions. Earlier today, XRP was still up over the past 24 hours, but only around 1%. In macro indicators, the US inflation data for the month of October is in. And it came in soft, which is very good news. To recap, in September, the headline CP index increased by 3 .7%, and consensus estimates for October pointed to a 3 .3 % increase. That itself would have been good. But the number came in even softer, at 3 .2%. Even more relevant for the US Federal Reserve is the Core CPI index, since this strips out the volatile components of food and energy. In September, Core CPI jumped by 4 .1 % year on year, and expectations were for that rate of increase to hold steady in October. The actual figure came in at 4 .0%, the smallest increase since September 2021. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shelter accounted for the bulk of the increase in the Core Inflation Index, but much less so than expected. And it seems lower energy prices are also doing their bit. On a monthly basis, Core CPI grew by 0 .2%, less than expected. This brings the three -month average monthly gain down to 0 .3%, lower than last year's average of 0 .5%. The average needs to come down further to give the Fed some breathing room, but it is progress. A US rate hike at the December FOMC meeting was unlikely anyway, given market tension, geopolitical fragility, and the likelihood of a government shutdown starting this weekend. This release now takes that totally off the table. As we head into record, US yields are heading down fast, with the 10 -year Treasury yield plummeting as investors were holding their breath for the inflation report. The good news in the figures has given the market a jolt of energy, with futures pointing to a very strong open. European indices were more positive yesterday, with the FTSE 100 up 0 .9%, the German DAX up 0 .6%, and the Euro Stoxx 600 up 0 .75%. The US figures are extending this trend for the DAX and the as investors digest the UK cabinet reshuffle. In Asia, stocks were cautiously positive today, with both Japan's Nikkei index and China's Shanghai Composite climbing 0 .3 % and the Hang Seng losing almost 0 .2%. In commodities, oil continues to head up, despite a report out this morning from the International Energy Agency that insists global oil markets won't be as tight as expected this quarter. The agency recognizes that demand is growing, as OPEC said yesterday, but non -OPEC supply apparently is growing even more. The market doesn't seem convinced yet, however, and the Brent crude benchmark is up 0 .4 on the day, trading at $83 .67 a barrel. After falling more than 1 % yesterday, gold today is benefiting from a drop in the $DXY index, as US yields digest the good inflation figures. Earlier today, gold was trading up over 0 .5 % at $1 ,956 per ounce. Stay with us. After the break, we're going to talk about new crypto investment.

A highlight from Crypto Wallet How to Transfer Crypto from Exchange (Tangem Wallet 2.0 Review ) New Features!

"We are going to become our own bank, our own security system. We are going to 100 % own and have complete control over our digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Altcoins, and other cryptocurrencies and NFTs all in less than 90 seconds right now. This is the latest version of Tangent Wallet, a multi -currency, multi -chain cryptocurrency wallet that is the size of a credit card, the most affordable cold storage hardware wallet, and extremely easy to set up and use. Check it out. Opening the box here, we have the three cards with a new sleek matte black design. Next, installing the correct and official Tangent Mobile app on our phones and opening the app, tap Scan Card and touch one of the cards to your phone like so. Next, tap Create Wallet and tap the card to your phone again. Nice. Now that we have a wallet, let's create backups of it. Tap Backup Now and then tap Add a Backup Card and tap the second card to your phone. Cool. Now tap Add a Backup Card again and tap the third card to your phone. Then tap Finalize the Backup Process. And now we need to create an access code to secure the wallets. Tap Continue and then type in whatever word, phrase, numbers, or combination of text you want to use to access your wallet. Re -enter it to verify the access code and then scan the primary card ending in the corresponding numbers on the screen that matches that card, holding you up to your phone until the operation is complete. Then repeat this process for the two backup cards. Sweet! Now your Tangent wallet has been configured and is ready for use. Now we can continue to the wallet, check out the mobile app, learn how to use it safely and securely, and then move some crypto to it. Hello, I'm Crypto Casey and in this video we are going to go over the new features of Tangent's latest wallet and how we can transfer crypto off of exchanges to completely own and control it with this cold storage hardware wallet. Let's hit it! Here is Tangent's original wallet we fully reviewed together on the channel, which you can check out by clicking on the link above. And this is their latest sleek matte black design with some interesting new features. Side by side, both cards are the same shape and size, however the new one is more sturdy with some nice weight to it. Tangent compiled a list of the most requested features by users and implemented them in their new Tangent wallet card. One of the main differences being three different options for private key generation versus only one. So in addition to using the certified true random number generator, TRNG, which generates and stores the keys inside the card's chips, where neither Tangent nor anyone else can see what it is and no copies exist in space and time outside of the Tangent wallet cards. Now with the new wallet cards, we have the option of generating a seed phrase with the Tangent mobile app and importing it to the cards, and also the option of importing an existing seed phrase from another wallet. Cool stuff. So it's important to note that if we create the wallet without the seed phrase option, generating a seed phrase will not be possible later. So we need to carefully consider the pros and cons of each option and decide which one we are most comfortable with long term. Tangent creates a seed phrase through their app on your phone, a hot device connected to the internet, which is not ideal if your phone has malware on it has been compromised or similar. So if we do decide to create a seed phrase for our Tangent wallet, or if we decide to import a seed phrase from an existing wallet, consider disconnecting from any Wi -Fi networks and switching your phone into airplane mode to make sure the process is more secure. Do not take a screenshot of the seed phrase. Instead, write it down on a few pieces of paper to store securely in different locations in case of something like a fire, flood or similar, and then get something more durable than paper immediately for the long term. There are some great offline options for storing the private keys like the crypto steel capsule solo offered by Ledger. This is a solid steel capsule to protect your seed phrase designed to resist extreme conditions. And the BILFODL also is offered by Ledger. BILFODL is a solid steel case to store and protect your seed phrase designed to resist fire, water and more. With cold wallets like Ledger and Trezor devices, the creation of the 12 or 24 word seed phrase is done offline, which is more ideal and secure. However, vulnerabilities and security risks are still present because, as we've discussed in several videos on the channel, if anyone has access to your seed phrase, like if they came across them written on a piece of paper or had access to a Ledger crypto steel capsule or BILFODL with the seed phrase, or if you stored it on a device that can be hacked like your computer, cell phone, or if a scammer tricks you by pretending to be Ledger, Trezor or similar, sending you a fake email or directing you to a fake site and instruct you to give them your seed phrase by lying and saying your funds need to be recovered or something like that, then all the funds on your wallet will be gone. So seed phrases are designed to help us with self custody and to manage our cryptocurrencies and digital assets more easily and restore any lost access to our funds. However, like we just discussed, there are risks. And even if you decided to try and remember it by heart or mix up some of the words, if you unfortunately suffered a brain injury, memory lapse or similar, that's also a risk of completely losing access to your funds. So think about this. Cryptocurrency private keys are generated by elaborate mathematical algorithms where data is encrypted many, many times using a huge amount of computing power. And then the most important key is then just converted into a 12 word seed phrase that can be used by anyone anywhere at any time to steal everything. Right. Important things to consider. So do your own research and never put your eggs or crypto all in one basket or even several of the same types of baskets. Diversification in investments is just as important as diversification of the same type of assets, like spreading cash into several different banks and spreading crypto across different types of wallets. Diversify some digital assets into seed phrase based cold storage hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor and also diversify some digital assets in different technologically based wallets like BC Vault or Tangent Wallet. With Tangent Wallet, instead of a seed phrase as the only way to backup our cryptocurrency, backup copies of the wallet are created and used on the other Tangent Wallet cards. So let's say we have our Tangent Wallet card and two backup cards. We can store them in different geographical locations in case we need to restore access to our digital assets. And if anyone happens to come across the card or steals the card and even downloads the Tangent Wallet app and tries to access our funds, an additional security layer is necessary, which is where we encrypt our wallets with an access code by creating our unique series of numbers or letters or similar to a PIN code or passphrase. And to protect the wallet from brute force attacks, after each wrong password attempt, an increasing amount of time delay between each attempt is executed. So our crypto remains secure. Amazing. The other new features we will explore apply to both the first and latest versions of the Tangent cards as updates to the Tangent Mobile Wallet app and overall user experience. This includes a new dark mode where we can navigate through the mobile app comfortably in low light environments. So it's easier on the eyes when using it at night or in the dark. It also looks a lot cooler as you can see here on some screenshots. With the new update, we can now sort and group our cryptocurrencies and tokens however we want, whether it be by balance, by blockchain network, like cryptocurrencies on the Ethereum network versus Polygon or similar, or manually in whatever order we prefer to see them. Tangent added an extra layer of protection with an option to hide our balances when the app is open to keep our crypto holdings more discreet without us having to sacrifice convenience if others are close by and can see our phone screen. And they also added an option to turn off access code recovery, which increases security. We can now monitor price changes over the past 24 hours of all of our assets directly in the app to help us make informed decisions during crazy dynamic markets. There is rapid access to buying, selling or hiding a token by tapping and holding it on the home screen. Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction histories also display directly in the app without us having to check third parties like Block Explorer, Etherscan or similar. And Tangent is working on adding more blockchain networks in future updates. Tangent now offers 24x7x365 support so they can answer any questions we may have or guide us on how to properly do crypto transactions with Tangent Wallet no matter what time it is or what time zone we are in, which is huge for beginners just getting in the space. More features are on the horizon like a market data feature directly inside the app, an address book, cross -chain swaps, staking and more support for more blockchains. Brilliant. Now let's transfer some cryptocurrencies off of exchanges to our Tangent Wallet together so we can get more comfortable with the process as well as transfer some back to the exchange to practice for our profit -taking strategy in the next bull run, which you can learn more about in this video guide by clicking on the link above. And after that, we will learn how to connect our Tangent Wallets to Web3 applications like Morales Money, a platform for finding undervalued altcoins before they pump in the next bull cycle. So stay tuned to the very end to learn more about becoming your own bank with complete control and ownership over your digital asset investments simply and easily with Tangent Wallet and a very important free tool we can use when interfacing with Web3 to further protect our funds. Nice. Let's move some Bitcoin we have on our Coinbase account off of the exchange together to hold in our very own cold storage hardware wallet, Tangent Wallet. Open the Tangent app, tap scan card, scan the card, and enter the access code. Scan the card again. And from here on the dashboard, press and hold Bitcoin, then tap copy address. Next, open the Coinbase exchange app, tap the send button, tap Bitcoin, paste the Tangent Bitcoin wallet address into the to field, and tap continue. Enter the amount of Bitcoin we want to send. I always recommend sending a small amount as a test first to make sure everything is good to go. So in this case, we are sending $100 worth of Bitcoin. Tap preview, make sure everything looks good, then tap send now, and it's on its way. In a few minutes or so, when we open our Tangent Wallet app, we will see the $100 worth of Bitcoin that we now completely own and control. Repeat the same process for any other type of cryptocurrency by copying the corresponding address on Tangent Wallet, also making sure we select the right network. Like for example, with Tether, there are many other available networks like Ethereum versus BNB Smart Chain versus Solana and more. And then repeat the same similar process on any other exchange we may have crypto on by using the send function, pasting the address in the recipient field, and checking to make sure everything looks good before sending. The process is actually much easier and simpler than most people think that are new to crypto. And it's a lot like riding a bike. I can try to explain how to ride a bike to you, show you how to ride a bike, and you can read about riding a bike. However, at the end of the day, you need to get on the bike and ride it for yourself to learn. So start practicing transferring to and from different exchanges and wallets to prepare for the next face -melting bull cycle so you can take profits and potentially change your life with some nice gains. And if you want to explore a simple tool any of us can reference to increase the probability of us making gains by buying and selling altcoins at the right time, check out this video guide all about the Morales Moneyline charting tool by clicking on the link above. Great. Now let's transfer crypto from our Tangent Wallet back to Coinbase exchange to practice for when we want to lock in profits by converting it to fiat and transferring it to our bank accounts. Note that you can take profit in stablecoins directly on the Tangent Wallet app without transferring it by tapping on the token, tapping exchange, entering the amount, and tapping swap. There's also an option to sell for fiat using moon pay if we tap sell. However, you will have to set up an account with them which is a good idea so we have multiple options to trade and sell crypto when the market is hot as some exchanges get overwhelmed, freeze transactions, prevent withdrawals, etc. So open the Coinbase exchange app, tap receive, select the crypto, for example Ethereum on the Ethereum network, tap copy, then open the Tangent Wallet app. On the dashboard, tap and hold Ethereum, then tap send. Paste the Ethereum network wallet address from Coinbase in the address field. Select the amount of Ether to send, which as usual start with a small amount to test first to make sure it works, then tap send. After a few minutes or so, depending on how busy the network or exchange are, it will show up on the exchange and from there you can sell it for your country's currency and then transfer it to your bank account. Amazing. Now let's connect our Tangent Wallet to a Web3 application so we can start using decentralized platforms like Morales Money. But first it's extremely important to make sure we are accessing the correct and official sites as well as understanding exactly what is going to happen when we sign transactions to avoid losing all of our funds from a scammer or hacker using a free browser extension called WalletGuard. I've been using it over the past year and it's been working great, popping up warnings, helping check everything out before transacting, so it's definitely worth checking out and giving it a go whether we are new or experienced in the space. For example, if we start interacting with smart contracts like for minting NFTs, when accessing the site, WalletGuard's phishing protection layer executes and warns you if the website might be harmful, if it was created recently, and if it has a low trust score and if we do proceed to do so with caution. And when we do, before attempting to verify a transaction with our wallet, a second layer of protection is executed with a clear human readable warning about what exactly will happen if you decide to proceed with a transaction, like if it's going to drain your wallet instead of actually mint an NFT. This feature alone would have saved me from losing over $20 ,000 when minting an NFT on a fake lookalike website back in the last bull cycle. Absolutely insane. It can also detect and will notify you if the site is making multiple attempts to interact with your wallet, trying to hack and steal funds. So, WalletGuard is a must have as a crypto investor, so make sure to scroll down and use the link below to access the correct and official site to download WalletGuard's free extension to protect your wallet and crypto assets today. Seriously, it takes like 10 seconds and if you'd like to see a video guide all about how it works, click on the link above. Nice. Now that we've got an added layer of protection to keep our wallets and funds more secure when interacting with Web3 apps, let's learn how to connect our Tangem wallet to a Web3 app called Morales Money. Make sure to use the link in the description area below to access the correct and official site, as well as redeem any special offers they have for us. Before connecting, open the Tangem app, tap Manage Tokens at the bottom, tap BNB and make sure the BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain options are enabled. That way the connection to Morales Money platform goes more smoothly. Using the link below, when we arrive at the site, we can see a screen full of crypto bubbles that show us which altcoins are up versus down in the latest price action. And in the top right hand corner, click on the Sign Up Login button, then click Login via Wallet. Here we can see a secure login screen where we can click Connect, then click on the option called Wallet Connect here, and then we will see this QR code. Next, open the Tangem wallet app, tap on the three dots in the top right hand corner of the screen, then tap Wallet Connect, tap the Add icon in the top right hand corner, then hold your phone facing the QR code on the Morales Money screen. On the Tangem app, you will see a message, tap Start, and next on the Morales Money screen, we just need to click the Verify button. Then on the Tangem wallet app, on the message that pops up, tap Sign. Enter your access code, tap the Tangem card to your phone, and on the Morales Money screen, enter your email address, and now you're connected to the Morales Money Web3 app. This is a platform with a lot of different functionalities that helps us with finding new altcoins, trading them, and much much more, which you can learn all about in this video walkthrough by clicking on the link above. Just to give you an overview of what we can do with our Tangem wallets connected to Morales Money, we can check out our wallet balances by clicking on this profile picture in the top right hand corner and then clicking My Wallet. And here we can view all of our tokens, and under the NFT tab, we can also view any NFTs on our wallets. Nice. And on the navigation menu at the top of the screen, if we click Swap, then click on the dropdown that says Trading Account, we can click Main Account, which opens up our wallet. And if we click Swap, we can select a token to sell from our wallet to buy another token on the Ethereum, Binance, or Polygon blockchain networks. All straight on the blockchain without having to transfer tokens to and from centralized exchanges. Very neat. On Morales Money, we can also go to the Explore Coins option and choose a predetermined filter like Top Recently Minted Coins with Experienced Buyers. And if one of the tokens seems interesting and you want to gamble on some, click on it. And on the right here, we can instantly swap tokens in our wallet to the new token directly on chain. There are a ton of other interesting tools and tricks on the Morales Money platform with many more to come.

Dennis is joining me today. Dennis Porter. Welcome to the show. How are you today? I'm doing excellent. Just coming back from a break. So are ready to dive into a jam -packed week of back -to -back calls Yeah, nice and tan back from your travels, right? Yeah, this is as tan as I get too So it's like, you know, ten days ten days in the Sun and this is as good as it gets So just everyone's prepared for that Are you ready to jump back into the Bitcoin grind or did you like really stop when you were vacationing? I oh, I never really truly fully stopped working the tweets keep coming, huh? Yeah It's an unfortunate byproduct of working in a 24 -7 365 non -stop nascent ever faster moving Industry that is Bitcoin Bitcoin mining when it combines two crazy worlds the one that I work in which is Bitcoin Bitcoin mining side which is the 24 -7 365 thing and then it's the Political realm which is just a total mess all the time. So it's a great combo. Yeah, I remember talking I want to stay sane Yeah, exactly my point. I was about to make you took the words out my mouth I remember talking to you like a year ago about the political side of things I was like, I don't know why anyone would ever want to get in that world at all. You're like, oh, I love it I love the I love the pool. I love being in the midst of it and still today don't get it Probably won't ever but I'm glad there's people like you who care about it And we you know agree on most things when it's firstly when it comes to Bitcoin mining so glad that's there Okay was transition over to Satoshi Action Fund. So you're the president and CEO you founded it. It's been two years Or so, it's a little over a year. We launched in June of last year and I am yeah I'm the president CEO I say CEO and president of Satoshi Action I'm there are two organizations now actually one is Satoshi Action Fund and one is Satoshi Action Education one I'm the CEO of and one of the president of so for simplicity's sake we just say it's all under the Satoshi Action umbrella But yeah, it's been going really really well We've had a ton of success and I'm sure we'll jump into that But I launched that in June of last year and we've been off to the races ever since Yeah, let's go into a little bit and then we have much more talking to show specifically We brought you on to talk about all the recent headlines with like rural Bitcoin mining and like the pushback We had a New York Times article about that there's some stuff in Arkansas going on So we'll get to that probably towards the second half of the show But let's talk about Satoshi Action Fund some wins recently and then maybe like a little more Flushed out what you guys are trying to to work on is like the product if you could say that for I guess a lobbying organization Yeah, yeah I mean it's good and that's that's probably one good area to start though with when it talk what comes talking about Satoshi Action is The one big difference between us and let's say like a lobbying organization or even a trade association Is that we don't we don't actually like do most of the lobbying. In fact, we hire lobbyists and we don't have members We have donors like more or less the premise of Satoshi Action Is that if you believe in the mission that we have pursued which is to make the United States? One of the best places in the world to be a Bitcoin miner or to be a Bitcoin er Then you want to support us if you agree with you know having the opportunity to stay here in America That's thriving off of this new technology versus being forced to move abroad You know that again is why I created Satoshi Action I think it's why people buy buy into the vision and the mission of what we're doing but we're very very structured very very different from from any of these other organizations that you might see out there and Once we launched Satoshi Action, the first thing that we wanted to do was try to go out there and show Right off the bat. What could we do? How could we be successful? How could we show that we can be effective because one of the most dangerous things that you can do with a political organization is You know get out there do all this, you know, make all this noise and then you don't produce any results You can do that a couple times you can even do it for years But eventually people will grow tired and they will move on and they will want to hear from someone else They will want to see someone else produce results There's definitely two the unfortunate part about politics Is there sort of two things you have to do one is you do have to produce results and the other is you have to? market your results market even what you're trying to do so that you can get people to buy into that they should buy into what you're trying to accomplish and fund essentially fund your operation because 100 almost 100 percent aside from our like You know, two three little s19 miners that we have plugged in that were donated to us The vast majority of our money comes from either donations or people that we get to come to our events was essentially a form of a donation So we rely a lot on on our donors to support the work that we do on a constant basis But right away we wanted to make sure that we were proving to our donors that we were having success So we said, okay, what can we do? We we got to the drawing board right away We brought on Eric Peterson who is our current policy director. Who's a wizard on the policy world and We had my two co -founders Mandy and Syria and we sat down we were like, alright, what are we gonna do? We started crafting public policy model policy For the Bitcoin Bitcoin mining space and what that means is that we created sort of like this like, okay here is a Example of a bill you could pass in your state that helps you advance this industry You know what we would do is we'd go in we'd say okay We have this great bill that we wrote up and we think you should pass it It'll really help you and they'll say like, you know, why would you want me to do that? Like we go in we pitch we say okay Bitcoin mining is great for jobs Great for local investment grid stability environmental cleanup the ability to enhance green and renewable energy projects really any energy project But policymakers particularly like when you can help solve some of the problems with green energy And then we win then we give them that bill the most popular of those bills that we did We know we have four of them Two of them have sort of moved or I should say three of them have moved around like have been introduced Or been worked on at the state level So far only one has passed into law which is a very big accomplishment but not to say only one but yeah I'm pretty yeah, it's pretty big deal Yeah, just one. It's just one of dates. So yeah so in then, um that bill ended up being called our right to mine bill initially originally was called the Digital Protection Act and then it transformed into becoming the rights mind bill and essentially that bill just protects Bitcoin miners from various forms of discrimination We saw real -time discrimination taking place across the country and we created real -time protections for that form of discrimination And we ended up being able to pass that bill into law in two states, Arkansas and Montana in fact in Montana is one of the states where Two things happen one. We actually saw some of the discrimination taking place where I don't know if you heard of the Missoula County there Where they changed the zoning laws and they like went drove a twenty million dollar bank when mining operation completely bankrupt because of it so Completely wiped them out all because they were concerned about things that were not true about Bitcoin mining, you know environmental concerns Oftentimes we see at the local level not necessarily in Montana But a big one is a concern is around Chinese mining particularly CCP mining I should say not Chinese owned but just that they're concerned that the CCP controls them So we saw real -time discrimination taking place in Montana We solved that problem the other problem. The other thing we discovered while we're there that we learned is That we can add things to this bill And we'll get into sort of like where we got to from that point But it was an important moment in the history of Satoshi action We added in a ban on any additional taxes on Bitcoin when uses a form of payment Which is critical because in the state of Montana, you know If you let's say you sell me a car like they'll tax that like peer -to -peer transaction Let's tax it like right off the top. So if I just sell you some Bitcoin or pay you in Bitcoin They would do the same thing. They'd be like, oh are we you owe us a tax for that? So we banned that which was great. And um, yeah, we'll talk about a little later but that was our big initial success huge success a small tear came down my eye when I When I passed my first bill into law Eric was like, you know done 10 ,000 times So he didn't he didn't really care as much but it was it was a big moment But I was like, we've done it. We've done it, you know, like he was like, ah Alright now I'm time for the next one right? So yeah right to mine. How'd you guys come up with that? It's like a very it's very catchy right and it's hard to argue against that Yeah, I don't know. I just can't use Brilliant top ahead. Okay, I came up with it sent it to I sent it to someone and said hey You should call this right to mine. I didn't even we didn't publicize it a really large news account I said hey just call it right to mine. That makes more sense. Yeah, and they did and then it just took off. Yes It was interesting for sure it's very amenable in a good way Okay, so you guys have passed some bills you're creating like this donor network to be able to to move it forward You've told me about a few wins here. I want to hear about some of like the obstacles which you already kind of alluded to so and we'll get to that later in the show the discrimination which we're seeing pop up right now, whether it be Chinese Bitcoin miners who are being Unfairly maligned for being associated with the CCP or not. And then also just like other Bitcoin miners who are unwelcome in certain areas But to the obstacles, what are some things that you've sort of like learned about why you come through this process creating Satoshi Action Fund and moving forward into these different these different State houses to lobby on behalf of Bitcoin Yeah, I would say that an overarching theme to the work that we do is that Things can go wrong very quickly and can be can be unrecoverable. They can be recoverable, but they can also be unrecoverable You know politics is very much like the real world so when real -world actions occur, there will be Consequences or there will be you know, either good or bad, right? You'll have good things or bad things happen because of real -world actions I'll give an example of a positive real -world example that Leads to us to do where we are today having a lot of success and that is the current consistent worry and fear around central bank digital currencies, so for some reason Which I definitely am aware of I Can't share too much on the story but definitely aware of a lot of Americans became very very concerned around central bank digital currencies and so Eventually, what happened was you had governors across the country including Governor Noem and Governor DeSantis eventually Working to ban central bank digital currencies at the state level There was this big huge kerfuffle around it and everyone was like doing everything they could to like stake their claim Literally Governor Noem took out like a steel Stamp of like a veto stamp and was like like stamped it into the bill. Like it was very it was very cool Actually, I loved it. Um so all of a sudden this like firestorm picks up where central bank digital currencies become this thing that Generally, I would say conservatives are against or Republicans are against but like really really opposed to like hyper opposed to it more so than I have seen anything in the The crypto space broadly I would I would consider CC central bank digital currencies to sort of be adjacent to the to the crypto space and because of that fervent Fear and concern around central bank digital currencies we've actually been able to use it as an effective way to demonstrate the value of Bitcoin because What happened was initially when they said Oh central bank digital currencies are a problem people started to say oh Well Bitcoin is a digital currency Is that also going to have the same problems as a CBDC and of course, we know we started education right away No These things are like way way different and then we just started to realize that it was best to classify them as polar opposites because they literally are like one is You know authoritarian sort of at least you when used on the retail level go ahead Yeah, send a CBDC between a bank or an institution. I don't I don't care at all force it on individuals In the United States without proper regular regulations and regulatory frameworks and then all of a sudden you have something that could be used in a way that you know is Sort of unimaginable to some extent to manipulate human behavior. So We started saying okay, these things are opposite and now when we're going into these states and we're saying okay, you should pass this bill It's pro Bitcoin. Also, it's anti CBDC people are like, oh hell yeah, let's go like we want to pass that bill So that's what that's one positive example of like how real -world things have had a really positive impact on what we're doing There's a lot of headwinds around creating or doing anything that you can to oppose CBDCs and so and as we pitch Bitcoin Bitcoin mining and You know all of our digital asset policy where there's always that thought in mind of how can we tie this into? Concerns around CBDCs which are valid and are linked We are not making some sort of leap here Bitcoin and CBDCs couldn't possibly be more more polar opposite. Gotcha Tell tell me about the some other stories Involving I have one video in mind of you going to Montana and speaking in front of Yeah, and there was someone before you who was just like going off and like kind of rabid It was good. And then you came in after and like kind of calmly presented some is Counter information this typically how the process is? Because I just think you are basically working in like the Parks and Rec version of Bitcoin. You have to like go deal like these Officials and like they don't know anything about it and they're like China bad Bitcoin bad That's that's my understanding every time I see this which is a really unfair characterization of it, but it's also it's stuck in my mind So lay it on yeah. No, it's it's you got you got it. You nailed it, right? Is the funnest example of Just how wild that can be out there So we go and we are getting ready to testify and every time we testify You know Especially because it's around Bitcoin mining we do get some sort of pushback usually at the local level typically from environmental groups Which is unfortunate because there's so much. I mean everybody knows in the mining space There are so many benefits from the methane component to balancing renewables to balancing the grid there's so many benefits that the You know Bitcoin mining space can offer to those that have come from even staunchly environmental the staunchly environmental realm so Needless to say there was two Opponents strong opponents to the bill one was a gal from an environmental group. She didn't get too out of control but the second guy he was a young a young gentleman from from Montana not originally and he worked at UCLA and he Was very opposed to Bitcoin and he started to go on this like speech like this really long drawn -out like monologue and Eventually at one point he says that that Montana will will like Die on the cross of Bitcoin essentially, right? It'll burn on the cross of Bitcoin I can't remember the exact word he uses but it's like very extreme very dramatic and Then he goes on to say that people are dying because of Bitcoin mine houses. I wish the camera was on me There's these cameras in every single Hearing room generally speaking every state Capital building when you're testifying in front of these hearings like they have cameras just like DC but obviously a lot lower tech But I just remember when he said that people are dying because of it He was so people are dying because of Bitcoin. He was so serious about it I just remember looking down my notes and just my face looked looking up at him was like So confused and I just wish the camera would have caught it because it would have been a perfectly it would have been a meme Like forever, but yeah, fortunately, there's a lot of great policymakers out there and actually, you know sometimes you love to rag on these guys, but You know, they do a good job a lot of these guys. They do a good job one guy asks him he says You know, he tries to run out actually that's part of the stories and this is important part of the story So let me backtrack so he finishes his speech. He tries to leave right away, which you don't do never do very rude tries to leave And as he gets to the door one of the people was like hey before you go even you usually we do questions at the End let's have you do some questions right now. We want to be able to talk to you a little bit Bring him back up to the podium He's like now son You made some pretty egregious claims there around Bitcoin mining Do you have anything to back up the statement that Bitcoin mining is killing people and the guy just is like well I don't have it here with me, but I can I can get it to you and He just like this this guy just is like, I mean you gotta remember this you see you sell a guy's like 22 years old he's a kid. Yeah Great great on him though. Great. Love the love the getting active at a young age, but he's just like son if You're gonna come in here and make egregious claims. You better have something to back it up and The kid just was like so upset like cuz he just got he's gave this great speech And he wanted to just walk out like drop the mic and walk out So he just blew him up I was anyways, it was it was definitely the most entertaining moments in the entire history of my experience And it's only been a year and a half So I I'm really looking forward to other stories that I can tell in the future Please catalog all these because I just like very Specifically remember watching that entire video and laughing pretty hard because it was it was pretty funny Okay, let's keep diving into this a little bit more. What have you been seeing in a lobbying front? That's been sort of helpful that you would encourage other people to look at we've had the call lines We've had the emails. We've had people going speaking to people I Think for the Bitcoin community we can all take like a breather and be like a lot of what we've been doing has not been working What has been working to speak with these people in state houses who need to learn about Bitcoin because Bitcoin's coming their backyard What has been working from your year and a half of doing this actively and putting boots on the ground? The things that have helped the most are Well, first of all getting clear of FTX collapse. I mean that is this is what I just tweeted this out yesterday. It's like I Still can't believe that we passed two bills into law in the middle of that collapse and it was a very testy time in the space so getting clear of FTX is Only gonna help us the other is just the way we Approach the conversation around Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining the way we pitch it is that we really focus on the benefits We do not talk about the technical side We do not try to explain how Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining works We give a very brief overview if they want more information Of course, we will dive deeper with them and we are very good at doing that you always have to be ready for those questions, but It's very important to just keep it as simple as possible Most of these policymakers have not made up their minds at all about any of this stuff They hear it in the news over there. They're their nephews trading crypto You know, like they're it's like they've got stuff all over the place, you know, you got some hardline anti -crypto anti -bitcoin Democrats You know, you've got some vocal Republicans, but they're not really like hardline yet. Like there's just not a lot of like really built -in statements or viewpoints on this on this technology and So what we do is we just go in and we say okay like Out of everything you've heard a lot of some of it is true some of it is not but most importantly what we're here to do is try to explain to you the value of Bitcoin mining for your state so we pitch Bitcoin mining and we it's a five benefits I mentioned earlier it can bring jobs local investment great stability Environmental cleanup and the ability to enhance green and renewable energy projects and out of those five No one ever says anything bad about it But out of those five usually a policy maker will say oh What kind of jobs does it make or like, you know, oh I I didn't know it could clean up the environment it's like an instant like gateway to being able to have a conversation about something they care about because usually you're hitting on something there like if it's not the economy if It's not the environment if it's not energy like at the local state level like those topics are huge Because the vast majority of energy policy is set at the state level. The vast majority of job creation is done at the state level And then a lot of this these like sort of decisions around how much green energy they're going to be building done at the state Level a lot of environmental stuff done in the state level Yeah, DC throws around big pockets big buckets of money at everybody and they certainly have regulations But a lot of these decisions are made by local state policymakers And so they care if they care a lot about these issues probably themselves, but also their voters care a lot about those issues Particularly the jobs one comes up a lot because we we know in the mining space that we create a lot of rule And jobs and jobs and economically depressed zones where it's very difficult to create jobs nearly impossible to create like long -lasting jobs So the moment you say oh we create jobs in rural areas. They're like boom the brain turns on like well How do you do that? Because that's really important to me As an example in New Hampshire, we've I've been there a few times now In the there's an area called the North Country. There's like no jobs It's a whole thing like they call it jobs for the North Country is like one of their pitches So when we go there and we talk about Bitcoin mining, we're like jobs for the North Country jobs for the North Country It's because it's true and it's something they care a lot about so that yeah, that's that's generally how we pitch it We do not talk about Too much about Bitcoin in the past We haven't talked too much about Bitcoin to the extent that it's like oh you're gonna need this because it's good as hedge for inflation or XYZ like we sort of stay away from that and focus on things that Like mining that we know will deliver value now, we've expanded our policy. We've expanded the way that we that we talk about it But we haven't gone into this new legislative cycle yet So yeah, that was all done everything that we just talked about that we've done and that we have done It was done in early 2023. We prep for it in early 20 or in late 2022 Now we are prepping for 2024 in late 2023 So we got we sort of have an idea of where things are gonna go and what we're gonna do and we're in a really Great position. In fact, we could be active in up to 20 states we probably won't be active in that many but we have the opportunity to be active in up to 20 states and as a Form of context we only introduced law or excuse me introduced policy in seven states, so we were only able to actually convince seven states to Try to pass our bills Whereas like this cycle, I think that number will be closer to like 10 or 15 only seven states That sounds like a lot of airline miles to me so it can be yeah. Yeah, this seems seems like a lot of work Okay, so we got a lot of that laid out Let's go and talk about some of the more aggressive headlines We've seen recently and we're speaking about the New York Times article that dropped to believe a week ago for listeners Check out that in the show notes will include that I think we also talked about the news roundup last week Essentially, there's a Cheyenne Wyoming based Bitcoin miner They are owned and operated by a Chinese national group that has some ties according to the New York Times to the Chinese Communist Party essentially the story boiled down to Microsoft is near this plant it's Bitcoin mining plant the US government has a missile siloed nearby an Air Force base nearby and Microsoft is worried that this Bitcoin mining base could be used for foreign intelligence reasons Then we also have the story down in Arkansas, which we'll get down to in a second But let's start with this first one this this thing with Chinese nationalist groups Bitcoin mining obviously to to you and I is more of an energy game and it's very simple, right? It's just like plugging machine. Let it hash I'm gonna collect some Bitcoin and then there's those five benefits you talked about to outsiders though. They're not thinking about that They're thinking about all these people coming into rural areas and even foreign investment Has that been a struggle when you've been talking to lobbyists groups or talking to people in state houses have they brought this up to you? Yeah, definitely it's um, it's a major concern I would say Most Americans like average American especially rural Americans care a lot about the encroachment of the CCP on on the United States from from a physical perspective so like from a geographical perspective they don't like the idea of a CCP owned controlled or even highly influenced business You know being next to them and then definitely not being in and around me sort of military installations I believe the location in Cheyenne is near a Also, is that the one that's also near a nuclear plant or a nuclear missile site as well? So yeah, something like that Yeah, so I share the concern like that I think the premise is like Do you want foreign adversaries to be in and around any sort of? Military installation any sort of critical infrastructure You know generally I like my stance is like I'm very like pro people coming here starting their businesses You know trying to accomplish the American dream, but at the same time We also have to be concerned about whether or not those businesses have strong links to You know the CCP or you know A lot of people care a lot about also like Russian oligarchs and their ability to influence America American politics American infrastructure you know the big argument today is that the electrical infrastructure is a critical part of national security and That we need to be doing everything we can to protect it and I agree I think that's important all of those things are important that we should we should keep an eye on them The the thing that I don't like is when the New York Times tried to spin this article as if like Bitcoin mining was some sort of like really powerful tool in the hands of the CCP like next to these sites I don't think it really matters what business was there.

A highlight from STIR/SHAKEN: understanding the basics, how it works, how to get compliant, ClearlyIP Podcast

"This is Doug Greenan, I'm the publisher of TR Publications and I'm very pleased to have with us Tony Lewis, who's the co -founder and CEO of Clearly IP. Tony, thank you for joining me today. Hey Doug, thanks for having me. I look forward to it. It's been a long time since we had one of these. Well, I'm delighted we were able to get together and as we were just talking about, we're very excited to have you as a new client and that we're reporting on Clearly IP. You're doing a lot of interesting things, you're creating a lot of interesting content and a lot of new ideas, I think, for our readers' thoughts about how they can approach some of the problems and challenges they've had in growing and in delivering services and so on. Today we're talking about a topic that everybody's sort of been buzzing about and has different takes on it and it'll be great to have sort of a fresh take on Stir -Shaken. Let's start with, as much as we've been reporting on it for all this time, I always feel like there's some readers out there that are almost too embarrassed to say, I don't know all I probably should know about Stir -Shaken. Let's start with some basic stuff. What does Stir -Shaken actually stand for? Oh, geez. It's an acronym. The STIR portion stands for Secure Telephony Identity Revisited. Our government loves to come up with crazy names and acronyms and then they make the acronym fit some English words that are somewhat informative of what it's doing. The STIR portion stands for Secure Telephony Identity Revisited. And here I thought it was sort of James Bond kind of deal. Yeah, exactly. And then the signature based stands for, so the SHAKEN stands for Signature Based Handling of Asserted Information Using Tokens. How that comes out to SHAKEN is you got me. Well, that's how they got there. And as we know, it kind of rolled out with a lot of fanfare and a lot of promise. So we understand it as a technology to combat spam calls and robo calls, but does it work? Sure. In principle and what it does work. So the idea behind it is the carrier who's initiating the call signs that call with a unique token. So we go through a government agency or the government agency FCC has allocated a company called iConnective as the single token authority in the US. So we as a carrier have to go to iConnective and get a token issued to us. We then use that token to go buy a, for all intents and purposes, an SSL certificate from a certificate authority. It's not an SSL cert, but it works the same way. So we buy a certificate from one of the certificate authorities. And then we use that every time we make an outbound call from a customer makes an outbound call to us, we sign that call saying, hey, we are the carrier of record for this call. So we're placing this call onto the network. And we attest to a certain level of caller ID, either an a, a b, or a c. And we can talk more about that later, what that a, b, and c means. But this process only works if the originating carrier, so whoever owns the end customer is the one who signs the call. And what we're seeing a ton of in the US is it's actually a carrier or two above the carrier who owns the customer who finally signs the call. And what we're seeing in the US, again, is the know your customer, KYC. So how can a carrier who's two layers up know the customer who actually is placing that call the end customer? And that's where it's still struggling to be effective. So you know, I have a sort of civilian question. How does this technology benefit me other than the obvious that it's supposed to stop me from receiving those annoying calls? Well, it's actually not supposed to. That's a myth. It's not supposed to stop spam calling. It's supposed to give the industry a way of quickly tracing back spam call to figure out who originated it. So let's say you have a company who's doing spam calling. Prior to stir -shaking, let's say that company buys from a reseller, their VoIP services. And that reseller buys from a aggregate who takes numerous carriers and aggregates together. And then that aggregate used a CLAC finally to place that outbound call. And then that CLAC saw, oh, that calls an AT &T wireless number, and they might go straight to AT &T with it, or they might use another intermediate party to send it to AT &T. So then the customer who receives the spam call reports to the government or to AT &T, I got this spoofing call. They tried to pretend they were my bank. So the first thing the FCC would have to do is say, okay, contact AT &T. Who sent you this call? AT &T would say, this carrier XYZ. Then they go to XYZ and say, who gave you this call? And that carrier would take a day or two or three or a week or two to respond back, I got it from this carrier here. And they have to go all the way down the chain. It would take them weeks or months to find out who actually placed that call. And half the time, some intermediate carrier would never respond back to them. And now the chain was broken, and they couldn't figure out who actually placed that spam call trying to impersonate a bank. So with stir shaking, when that call makes it AT &T, AT &T can look at which carrier signed that call and goes and report that to this company or this organization called the Traceback organization, who can immediately come to the person who signed the call and said, this call was illegal. What do you know about your customer? Give us all the information about your customer so we can figure out what we have to do to stop this. Does that make sense? It does. And so that brings up the obvious question. Does this actually work in practice? Does this happen? It does. So the problem is, remember the first question we're asking about is, one of the first things I brought up is, the problem right now is too many of the small resellers who sit between the end customer and someone else aren't doing stir shaking still. And they're too small. They're flying under the radar. The FCC doesn't even know that they exist because they're not registered with the FCC because they're flying under the radar. So you're two or three layers up still half the time when that call is finally getting signed. So when Traceback group wants to go figure out who made this spam call, they're still a lot of times one, two, three layers deep from the end customer. So you know, no system is perfect, but and stir shaking obviously has its challenges. You know, how do you guys manage this? What's the difference if I go with clearly IP? So we manage it multiple ways. So as a VoIP reseller, we sign all of our calls with our own token. And when we sign those calls, there's three different layers or three different levels of optimization. There's an A, a B, and a C. I'll simplify it. An A says, this is where the know your customer comes in. I know who my customer is. So it's not just the business name. For example, we request a copy of a photo ID for the person signing up. We log the IP address they're coming from. We do some validations on their credit card and verify that that address matches the IP address they're signing up. There's all these things we do to help verify that the customer is legit. So as the carrier, we have to do a bunch of know your customer requirements. And then once we can attest that we know our customer, we then sign that call with an A or a B. An A says, I know my customer, and I can verify they have a right to use the caller ID they're sending. B says, I know my customer, but I don't know if they have a right to use that caller ID. So in our world, a right to use a caller ID is based off of, do you own that DID, that phone number with us? If so, we know you have a right to use it. If it's a DID with someone else, we don't know if you have a right to use it, and we sign that call with a B. Does that make sense? It makes sense. And why don't you connect the dots for me to your stir shaken, with stir shaken to your SIP trunking products and offerings? Yeah, so in our world, if we're selling to an end customer, we take care of the signing of that call with an A or a B. If we have a reseller involved who owns the relationship to the customer, they're supposed to sign that call. So they don't have their own SBC. So they can't sign that call because we're the ones taking the call from their customer directly to us a lot of times with resellers. Most resellers don't put in their own SBCs. So in that world, we offer a service where they can go get their own token and certificate. They upload it to us, and we sign their calls from their customers underneath them with their own certificate. So if the resellers don't trace back, they know that the reseller who actually sold that to the end customer. So we give a really simple way. Our resellers don't have to go put in their own SBCs. They don't have to go subscribe to some stir shaken service from some third party who will sign the calls. We'll sign it for them using their certificate on their behalf. And that's a big advantage by if you work with Clearly IP then? Yes, a lot. There are a couple other providers starting to do it. We've been doing it for two years. I think we're one of the first that would let you load your own certificate. We have a little form you fill out for it, provide it all, and within 24 hours it's loaded and we're signing your calls for you. Well, Tony, I really want to thank you for joining me. This has been interesting and taking a glimpse at stir shaken. I think I really appreciate you having the patience to lay out for us some of the basics. Maybe we heard back then, but I think a lot of us civilians may have lost track of it and all the excitement, and also laying out some of the advantages that Clearly IP brings to the table. Where can we learn more about stir shaken and the Clearly IP approach to this problem? You can go to our website. We have some information on our website under our products page, under our SIP trunking on the stir shaken for our resellers underneath us. Otherwise, if you're a reseller and you have your own SPC or PBX, we can send you the whole identity header on inbound calls so that you can see the identity header and make decisions based on the identity header. Sounds like we have a lot to look forward to, Tony. We're going to move on to the next one.

Visit LegacyPMInvestments .com. That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his seed because The Blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Metaxas! Hey there, folks. In case you were not aware, Albin Sadar has written a book and the title is Obvious. No, really, it's obvious. Albin, could you back me up on this? The title is Obvious. Yeah, I'm holding a copy of the book right here, and it says Obvious, so it must be Obvious. Obviously, the title is literally Obvious. Yeah. If you read the book, if you see the cover of the book, the title is Obvious. Who's on first? Literally, who? His name is who? Okay, so in the book, every chapter is super short, and you say these things that are Obvious, but that need to be restated. By the way, you've got blurbs from everybody. You have a forward by the great author, Eric Metaxas. I don't know how you got him. I don't even know. Is he still living? I always confuse him with James Michener. I'm sorry. But anyway, on the back of the book, you have a quote from George Orwell, and it says, We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act. So this book is filled with truth. Every chapter is the statement of some obvious truth, which needs restating. So what which one should we focus on? How about the one the title? What is it? Who made you boss? Yeah. Who died? Who died and made you boss. And by the way, that George Orwell quote, he says, It's obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. I couldn't find any in my sphere of influence, so I just wrote it myself. So there you go. I hear you. I hear you. But the chapter. Yeah, I did want to focus on is is the one called Who Died and Made You Boss. I got to explain that actually the title is supposed to be in quotes, but it's not. The editor left it out, but it's in quote. It would be in quotes is because when we were children in the playground, if you're playing a game, a tag or something, then suddenly somebody changed the rules so that they could win the game. Somebody in our group would always say, Who died and made you boss? And of course, people. Yeah. Yeah. Who did? But we're living in a world nowadays that people say you can't call that woman a woman. She's could be a this or that or they and and and we have to stand there and say, wait a minute, who died and made you boss? Who are you? Who comes up with these things? Why do we have to listen to you? I'm going to listen to, you know, the almighty, because I believe in him. And he said male, female. He didn't say they, them, theirs, whoever. So who died and made you boss? I explain all that and talk about some fun stuff with some fun cartoons. Some of this stuff. What I find funny about it is it is like it's stunningly obvious. And yet we don't see it. I mean, the idea that we would go along when somebody says you can't say this, you can't say that's good. And we go, OK, or oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Simply saying, excuse me, no, no, you don't get to decide five minutes ago that there are 37 genders. I don't know who you think you are, but you don't get to decide that this simple little pushback of that, of stating the obvious that you don't you don't have authority over me. I answer to God and sorry, but I don't I don't need to listen to you. That's a simple truth, but we need to restate it. And obviously you restate it in the book titled Obvious. What do you want to say more about that? Well, I want to mention other things that that are obvious. What I begin with the chapters called Basically God Exists. And I talk about how to me it's obvious that God exists. I get one of my favorite little examples is in there and I end with the stolen election because to me that was so obvious. I'm sitting there saying, doesn't anybody else see this? What I love is that I got a I got a meme in here or a graphic in here from the Babylon Bee. They gave me permission to use it. And the title is it's one of their articles says White House announces all conspiracy theories are true, except for the one about the Biden stealing the 2020 election. And I thought, say, great. They nailed it because I had a couple I had a cartoon that said basically the same thing. But then when I saw it in the Babylon Bee, I said, I think they're going to say it better than I do. Now, I have a bunch of little cartoon characters in there and a lot of the artwork is my own. I must admit. And if you think the cartoon is of me, it's actually not. It's of Simon de Hundert, who is my alter ego that I write with at American Thinker sometimes because I've written an American thing. This stream looks a lot like you, Alvin. I'm just I'm just here to I'm just being honest. I'm just stating the obvious that Simon de Hundert, because there are these cute little cartoons that you have done in here. And it looks like it could be you. I'm just saying it could be. I'm not saying it is. Look, I'm not going to go out on a limb. I'm not going to swear in a Bible or take a polygraph. I'm just saying that's my opinion. It could be you. Yeah. Or not. Too much. Yes. Too much hair. I don't want to offend anybody. And only four fingers. There's a lot of funny stuff in the book. For example, there's a little cartoon here. I want to make sure I read this one because this is I like this one particularly. But it's a little cute, cute. It's it's it's your little drawing of the guy who could be you. But the quote says if Hitler were alive today with the left, call him Trump 2 .0. That's very clever and loaded, loaded with gems like that. It's also loaded with a lot of serious stuff. Oh, oh, my goodness. Yeah. One of my favorite things and one of my favorite chapters is and this is like a little parable. I tell is, is I draw a picture of a guy stealing a television set and the little parables about the stolen TV. A guy comes home. He goes into his living room. Somebody stolen his TV. So he runs next door to his neighbor and he says, hey, did you see anything? Somebody stole my TV. But while he's running over to his neighbor's house, he looks through his neighbor's window and he sees his TV on his neighbor's wall. So he grabs the beat cop. There's a policeman coming down the street. He says to the policeman, look, we have to go in this. My neighbor stole my TV. And the policeman knocks on the door. Did you steal his TV? And the guy says, no, I didn't steal his TV. And I said, policeman, let's go in and look. I'll show it to you. It's right there on the wall. The guy says, no, I'm not going to let you in here because I'm telling you right now, I did not steal that guy's TV. And the policeman looks at the other guy who accused the neighbor and he says to him like, well, that's good enough for me. If he says he didn't do it, then he didn't do it. So when the left tells you they didn't steal the 2020 election, that should be good enough for all of us. They didn't spend four years looking into Trump. You and I know, I mean, this is a horrible thing when you know something is true and people say, oh, no, no, no, no, it's not true. Or even worse when they say, well, you can't even talk about that. When you tell me I can't talk about something, that's when I get mad because patriots have died. Patriots have died so that we could be free and we could speak our minds in this country. You don't even have to be right. So it's one thing to say, oh, you're wrong. It's nothing to say, oh, you can't talk about that. We need to be just to speak the truth, to state the obvious, which you do in every chapter of this book is to be doing spiritual warfare. This is how we fight back by stating the obvious. And the fact that the election was stolen, not only is that true, but it should make everyone in America furious because what could be more despicable than people stealing an election from the American people, not from Donald Trump, from the American people? And so you have the guts in this book to talk about that. It does the crazy thing out. And again, this is the whole point of the book is like, you don't need to be some kind of a genius to figure out that it was stolen like it is obvious. That's why the title of the book is obvious, because everything you talk about is obvious. You're not making some arcane argument that maybe no, you know, for quacks like a duck. I'm sorry, but it's probably a duck. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That example after the book had come out, I said, oh, I wish I would have used the example of the duck, you know, walks like a duck, waddles like a duck, has feathers like the duck, goes to the bathroom like the duck, hangs out with other ducks. It's most likely a duck. Okay. And when the election was stolen, it was the New York Times that had to declare Biden the winner after like three days of a how come all this stuff coming in. Okay. I came up with probably that day. I came up with a dozen things that said this proves it. It was stolen. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, the book is obvious.

"The very first weeks of Russia's onslaught learn a perhaps more startling tutorial in leadership from an arguably less likely source, specifically the narrator of the Ukrainian releases of the paddington bear films. And indeed, Ukraine's 2006 Dancing with the Stars champion. We learned that among Vladimir Putin's many misjudgments was one about the metal of his opposite number, a comedian who had campaigned for Ukraine's presidency, substantially by starring in a sitcom in which he made fun of Ukraine's presidency. With Angela Merkel. Yes, you can connect. Hello. My congratulations. We decided to take your country to the European Union. Oh, fuck. Yeah, the blues were used on the night with loose waves we learned that there are, despite what we had learned from the experiments in this field of one or two other countries, advantages to having a professional showman in charge, as president volodymyr zelensky embarked on a virtual world tour by video link, expertly tailoring his routine to the local crowd. To the parliament of the United Kingdom, he went heavy on the Churchill. We were fighting the forest in the fields on the shores in the streets. We will fight on the banks of the rivers and we are looking for your help for the help of the civilized countries. To the Congress of the United States, he reminded of a previous date that would live in infamy. We need you right now.

"All ahead here on the globalist, life from London. First a look at what else is happening in the news, the UN General Assembly has passed a resolution condemning Russia. North Korea has test fired four strategic cruise missiles into the sea during a drill, and the U.S. federal aviation administration says Boeing has temporarily stopped deliveries of its 7 8 7 Dreamliner. Stay tuned to Monaco 24 throughout the day for more on those stories. Now, katharina Yushchenko is the former First Lady of Ukraine. Her husband, Victor Yushchenko, was president of Ukraine between 2005 and 2010. Well, she's in the studio with us this morning exactly a year after Russia's full scale invasion of her country. Thank you so much for coming in. We've spoken on the phone before. It's wonderful to have you actually hear. Good morning, Georgina's wonderful to be here. Cassidy do you remember what you were doing and how you felt on the morning of February 24th, 2022? Yes. Well, I think that unlike many Ukrainians for whom the invasion was a complete shock. I had listened to the warnings from the United States from Great Britain from others and had it been expected yet, so I had been very much online trying to follow what was happening. So for me, it was not as unexpected, but early early in that morning I started getting calls from friends that lived in the north part of the city and said that they're already Russians, soldiers walking around our town, opening up cars to see if they could steal cars. That was the first phone call, and then Friends calling about tanks. Soon I realized that some of my friends living in buche and European were stuck. And started calling and asking everybody to leave and but you know, for them, for many of them it was such a shock that they didn't know what to do in the first hours. They just sort of waited to see what would happen. Now, I know that you've worked for the State Department for the U.S. State Department in Washington. I wonder if you think that the rest of the world was aware of how Russia was still actively pursuing its imperialist ambition as it has done for 300 years. Well, well, indeed, I think that the west wanted to believe that after 1991, the Cold War was over and that there was no more threat. And they failed to see what was really happening in Russia. There was a brief moment of opportunity, but then Russia returned to its past of hoping for imperial conquest of not only returning not only going back to the Soviet Union, but returning its former empire. And we, the Ukrainians, the people of the Baltic countries of Poland warned the world, but instead we saw growing collaboration, particularly after 2005, we saw a growing collaboration in terms of buying oil and gas and truly financing the Russian war machine. How much faith did you have in Vladimir zelensky at the start of the invasion? And has that changed during the course of the year? Well, he won president zelensky won with 73% of the vote which for our country is very unusual, so he had a great deal of goodwill. I think many of us were a little bit worried about someone with very little political experience coming in. And so maybe our expectations were not so great. But I have to say that we have been very proud of how he's handled the situation when the war started. And he really has rallied attention to us and we're grateful because that has meant very, very much for our survival. I wonder how the fabric of society has been maintained in Kyiv. I mean, how far are you able to live a normal life? That, you know, we are, we are a people that's always complained about our government about our society until now suddenly we're very, very proud of ourselves, because everything seemed to work. I myself was stunned when I saw that a few months into the war, all our grocery stores were filled, our banks and mobile banking was working. It never shut down our Internet was working. When the Russians began bombing our infrastructure and our energy, they shut off the energy for a few hours, and then teams of workers quickly went and started fixing everything and the doctors continued to work. The teachers continued to work online, and then of course when we saw that people from around the world men from around the world returned to fight. Everybody, including our eldest daughter, joined the territorial defense forces and defended the cities. So I have to say that things worked so much better than we would have expected, and I think more than the world expected of us. And certainly better than most parts of Britain are working at the moment. I don't want to say that, but I do want to say that, you know, it's been surprisingly surprisingly efficient and effective. And when you're in key of other than the general sorrow you feel that there is a war, things continue to work. Everything's open. And now Ursula von der leyen, the president of the European Commission, has said that Ukraine has become the center of the European continent. Do you think that's felt across Europe? What more could be done? Who's stepping up to the plate? Well, we're very grateful for especially to the UK for being the first. At a time when we were fearing that there would be that no one would understand that they would step back when Boris Johnson showed up in Kyiv very early in the war, I think it was in April. He gave us hope. And we're very grateful for the leadership that we saw then. We're very grateful for the support we're getting both in terms of arms and in economic support from Europe and the United States. There's still much more that can be done. We still need weapons. We need weapons more quickly we need fighter planes to be able to win them. The more quickly we win the less this will cause a cost in terms of lives and finance as well. We still need a great deal of financial support to just keep the country going. We need more sanctions, the world and Europe also continue to finance this war effort and all the weapons used against us by continuing to buy oil. So it's very important for us that that ends.

"Your with a curator. Our weekly highlight show here on monocle. Twenty four. I'm carla rebelo up next. We look back at our show dedicated to the world of business. It is of course the entrepreneurs. Brad wilson is the president of the ace hotel group which is set to open. Its latest property in brooklyn's boerum hill. Where toronto property soon to follow a surprise itself on looking at different kinds of existing buildings in off the beaten track neighborhoods and to find out more about the latest offerings. Brad joined the shows host. Daniel h the early aces that alex developed. Seattle was very small hotel. It really didn't carry a lot of what i think. People think of is the kind of the social health aspect of ace hotel. Think some of that really started when they opened portland lobby and being connected to the stump town coffee in just that lobby became surprisingly active for relatively small space. It was going a communal environment. It ended up. You know attracting people to pound away on their laptops and meet and greet in. It really did become small hub for that city. Certainly that portland lobby was kind of the precedent Dan later reinterpreted. In collaboration with roman and williams to create kind of the ace new york lobby. Which certainly as new york lobby in many ways. It's kind of our flagship. I meant so many people think of at lobby when they think of ace and its ability really to be a workspace by day a cocktail place in the evenings and even a club at night really transforms overtime to the lifestyle of its inhabitants. And so it's a really fun living human space. We're very inspired by a and it's interesting in the industry that lobby kind of was the label of ace hotel in to us. It was really about the social environment. The scene it was created there and we recreate that all the time. It's just that we recreate it through a different lens. Everywhere we go. It's not a programmer standard. We're putting lobby everywhere to attract people. It's actually in every environment. So when we went to los angeles for instance a lot of people were asking us like what what. What's the lobby. actually interesting that la hotel. It was originally a sixteen hundred seat theater and a very small office tower. So that didn't actually have a lot of space on the first floor. We still operate to sixteen hundred seat. Theater restored it. It's gorgeous in the hotel. Next door has a check in a restaurant on the first floor but really has no lobby. People thought that was crazy. Considering the expectation probably built from the new york lobby but we transferred a garden rooftop into similar kind of social hub and it probably is a lot more. What la is. It's an indoor outdoor life. There's a pool you can sit around. You can drink coffee under a tree. And that's really what i think is critical for the way atelli teams think is every environment is really different and so while we have certain expectations of our hotels i think our guest as well as social environments each one will end up being very specific to its own location in new orleans. We bring in a jazz club into the lobby and these kind of things so it really is an opportunity to create a hang out there frequently. Obviously music base and things of that sort and as we grow. I think there's a lot of were get a lot of credit for having created a lot of the idea programming in hotels whether it be our bingo night in the diner restaurant palm springs or dj nights in the lobby in new york. We kind of added that thought process of energizing hotels through programming which has become bigger and bigger in the industry. It's interesting for us. it really started. I think because the new york in palm springs hotels opened right into recession. There was a real need to kind of make these places known to get the word out. So i think the programming article kelly sodden whenever partners vary involved in building that structure in our company continues today with a lot of great people and i think that continues to kind of keep that energy around our hotels. Talk to me a little bit about the newest property coming into the fold. And that is in brooklyn. I believe again like the mid town hotel. You're working with. You've worked with roman and williams as designers talked me about what we can expect for when many of us can get back on a plane and come visit you in brooklyn as we're coming out a covert and approaching the opening of our brooklyn hotel which is kind of for us in long anticipated. And we're planning to open probably mid july. It feels now that the timing is brilliant was probably more accidental than brilliant. But certainly i. It will probably end up being a good opportunity for us to come out of color pen. Hope in what. I think is gonna be really spectacular. Hotel brooklyn was very much an opportunity for us to bring back the crowds. Roman williams came back. They designed a new york probably close to ten years ago. Coming back and joining us to design brooklyn but also at the same time represent a lot of the evolution. We've had over the period of moving through said historic buildings into more modern buildings into purpose. Built buildings as brooklyn is we really collaborated closely with roman and williamson can of what is ace now. End coming into brooklyn looking at brooklyn not just as part of new york brooklyn as the city itself the true sense of brooklyn as like a working city and kind of the strain to that so the building ends up representing us slightly route. A-list compression possibly but the interiors very warm modernist interiors think really coupled into beautiful space. We do have to pay a new york style lobby but it has the real kind of modern feel. That's warm and inviting in philo sunlight during the day. Beautifully warm in the evenings at night. So it's kind of like a new york but very different it's less manhattan mode. Say we do have a an interior garden which we call springs feed garden sun-filled space and spills out into an art gallery. So it's a really interesting program. And i think probably the highlight at least for me. 'cause it's really interesting to see the art programs as they develop in the our program. This hotel curated by nikki. To auto is fiber and textile based art in each of the guest..

"Big story rumbled on across the week. Was that of naomi. Muzak has withdrawal from the french open. The wti number two ranked tennis player withdrew from media duties at the french open on the grounds of mental health resulting in a barrage of criticism from prominent voices in sports and media. After being faced with a fine from the tournament. She made a decision on monday to withdraw altogether prompting a wide range of debate on mental health and media pressures in elite sport to find out more monaco's alexis self spoke to kaitlin thomson the co founder and publisher of tennis magazine rocket. He began by asking her. Whether this strong media reaction was to be expected. I wish i could say i was surprised. About how the tennis press has taken this. I've been as the publisher of an independent media company within the tennis landscape calling for a overall change in how we approach. Press what we do with the access how we're talking to these players during a tournament for years. I've always gotten a very sort of Clutching response from the largely. White largely old largely sort of archaic media infrastructure. And so i wish. I could say i was surprised. And that niamey's couching of this withdrawal. In the mental health context would have been met with a little bit more empathy. But i can't say i'm terribly surprised that these are folks who are terribly concerned about their futures of their jobs more than they're concerned about the health of the sport and taking seriously one of the sport's biggest stars so we're in a real conflagration at the moment do think that asakusa ethnicity and gender have played a part in this. Do you think that female players feel especially pressurized often objectified by the tennis press. Absolutely i think the questions that i've heard in this press conferences and to be clear one of the main objections that now posed in making the statement pretournament and now with the withdrawal is about those post mass press conferences that body of journalists is more white male. An old than the folks you hear on broadcast news and on television commentary. So it's really. I can't emphasize enough a very archaic and sort of ossified body of people. And you know. They've been asking questions. Objectified women's bodies talking about race in a very very ham. Headed manner is best for years. And so if you look at some of the larger issues that are going out on the sport right now such as a call for a robust domestic violence policy or policing to a greater degree some of the misbehavior on the side of the men. They're not at all getting the same kind of reactions at naomi has gotten through this and so it's hard not to say that her as a biracial black and asian woman. A young woman is really sort of ruffling feathers in a way that we haven't seen male misbehavior male deviation from tennis norms in gender. I hope that's not the case but it's hard not to read it within the greater context and as i've said sitting in those press conferences for years there is a very very heavily. Wait to tradition and sort of very defensive reaction from the press corps so of course. That's the viewpoint i initially read. The statement as in that sort of continued to be my context for understanding. What's happening right now. And in terms of the specificities of the sport south you know. It's an individual sport. Do you think that the format of the game invites more mental pressure on players. Absolutely i mean. Tennis is only similar to boxing. In the sense that it's pugilist and you're out there alone in the case of tennis especially grand slams. You're not allowed to be coached on the court. And so i think you know for a player to be open and vulnerable about some of their approach to the sport in terms of preserving their mental health. We should be especially at tuned to understanding where they might be coming from and thinking hard about how we might be able to do better. That's the conversation waiting to have that conversation. I've been trying to have but through our sort of platforms and podcasts and various other mediums. I've been trying to have it for a couple of years and now honestly i'm thrilled that we're having the chance to really dig into it because i can't emphasize enough how the tennis press specifically you're talking about the sport and how it's individual but also the tennis press specifically if the same cast of characters showed up at football press conference or some of our sports american football or the nba. They would be laughed out of the room in a lot of cases not all of them a lot of professionals on the ground doing great work but a lot of folks who get led into these rooms have no business being there. And i can't help but think that's largely who niamey is talking about. And that's largely who i've been talking about in the past couple of years about who really needs to be put under greater scrutiny. About how they behave in those contexts especially in an individual sport. Yeah talking about other sports suddenly hair and in the uk foot born and cricket which team sports in cricket. Obviously though being teams boy is also quite pugilist. As you say it's very about the individual. Both of those sports have made efforts in recent years to increase awareness of the psychological strains placed on athletes. Not just by the competition but by the press by social media. Obviously you've made it clear that eating tennis is lagging behind in terms of pastoral. Care what do you think the sport could do to improve that kind of support for athletes. While i was encouraged to hear to see that the league at least in terms of the women's side the wto has made more awareness and resources available to players who are struggling. A lot of this came up in the context of women who had children and their changing needs and how they need the tour to meet them halfway in terms of making less events mandatory or providing on site child care and certainly some of the mental fatigue and pressure that can come along with differing stages of life for a career. I think my focus is on the media. Because that's what i see. And that's what i am and that's where i see. The hugest gulf between where the players are were. The tours are and where the sport needs to really evolve. And i would love very much for folks to have taken asaka seriously when she said listen. This is for me a mental health issue and instead of letting it go or or deciding that a player knew what was best for herself. There was a lot of blowback in terms. Of what are the symptoms. Is this really mental health. She just doesn't want to talk about having a bit of a dicey record on clay and again. I think that illustrates just the sort of common reactions to somebody. Who's telling you that they're in a bit of a tricky spot and instead of responding with empathy we're asking for evidence and i think the further statements that she's made and the one made by her sister kind of on her behalf have serve to clarify in fact she's not in a place that she feels like is ripe for being picked apart by the media but this is really not a new thing. I mean serena williams and venus famously have been ask terrible questions by the media in terms of you know personal stuff that they're going through. Venus williams was involved in a manslaughter case in florida involving a car accident and walked out a press and numerous times. Because the press wouldn't let it go and it turned out of course she was not at fault and there's really no need for that to be brought up in a context but we have precedent of this for players sort of asking for space at times when they feel like they're not getting it creating it by walking out. I think the difference here is no miyasaka was premeditated. I like to think knowing her a little bit. That this was more of a heads up out of politeness instead of petulant on court sort of reaction. Because the truth is player skip. Press all the time. It's just usually not announced a premeditated manner that they were doing it. And give it an explanation as to why and so. I'd like to think that the empathy that was missing here will really be looked at by members of the press to say. Okay something clearly is going wrong and are we not the good guys here and if we're not how can we help make this better so that we can evolve the sport and avoid situations like this in the future caitlin thompson their co founder and publisher of tennis magazine racket speaking to monaco.

"Dr anthony. Fauci and conversation would monaco's thomas lewis staying stateside for next highlight as we look back to cheeses edition of the briefing on june twenty-sixth. Sixth two thousand fifteen. The united states supreme court ruled out. State bans on gay. Marriage were unconstitutional legal throughout the united states. But the road to victory was much longer than many no in his new book. The engagement. america's quarter century struggle over same sex marriage. Sasha eisenberg takes us through to coast to coast conflict through courtrooms. Then war rooms bedrooms and boardrooms to shed light on every aspect of political and legal controversy that divided americans like no other monaco's andrew. Mueller was joined by sasha to find out more yeah. The story begins in hawaii. Nineteen ninety when three same. Sex couples are led into the local public health departments west marriage licenses by local gay rights activists and it's basically a public relations stunt. He's gotten into an unbelievably petty rivalry for control of pride week planning committee in honolulu and has had a separate conflict with the local. Aclu the american civil liberties union which doesn't Particularly want to a back him in this and he decides he's going to try to force their hand by this media stunt and effectively spiraled out of control. The case gets handed civil rights lawyer the next year and they have an unexpected victory at the y. Supreme court in nineteen ninety-three and part of the story. That's familiar to most americans as sort of what happens after that. There's the defense of marriage act which was passed in nineteen ninety-six and that is effectively. The mainland of the united states recognizing that hawaii is very close to marrying same sex couples and that they will need a new set of laws to prepare for for what happens if they do so well. Same sex marriage not really an animating cause of the prominent gay liberation movements of the late sixties early seventies. When did it become a thing. It only became a cause for the gay rights movement when their opponents started prioritizing fighting it in the mid nineties. You had a brief flurry in the early nineteen seventies in the wake of stonewalling that serve early gay liberation politics of individuals going in and requesting marriage licenses and then suing but very few of them were lawyers or had illegal strategy behind them and by the nineteen eighty s folks fighting again incremental progress in other areas non-discrimination trying to get hate crimes coverage things like that and and very incremental recognition of gay and lesbian families and other spheres nineteen eighty nine denmark becomes the first country on our to to recognize same sex couples. It's not actually marriage and there was not an active movement in the us. Until the wake of this hawaii decision in nineteen ninety-three 'cause this is one of the things that emerges from the book how recent this has all become as an issue and how quickly it has happened. Which is it tough to say whether it's depressing. That it took this long or heartening that it did eventually happen so quickly. Because i think a part of the book that will be quite bracing to a lot of readers is figuring out how many prominent american liberals were quite iffy on this until quite late in the picture not just bill clinton who you mentioned signing the defense of marriage act but president barrack. Obama didn't take a stand obviously firmly in favor of same sex marriage until as late as two thousand and twelve right and so i think there's a few different divides on the left. I mean through the eighties. Among gay rights activists. There's a real principle disagreement over whether marriage is actually worth fighting for and you have a a section of largely lesbians lawyers. Legal theorists informed feminists thinking who think that marriages patriarchal hetero normative institution. Why should as want to kind of adjust their a sexual values for acceptance into it. And then you have some you know arguments that are more about tactics and strategy and prioritization and what what happens is to some extent a gay marriage. Activists are a victim of one of their successes. Which is for create civil unions in in two thousand which are a very robust form of domestic partnership at it basically is marriage all the rights and legal rights and benefits of marriage without the actual name marriage and without a lot of the the the religious conflict comes along with that and that becomes a sort of safe position for the kind of centre-left democrats you're talking about and so by two thousand four. All the democrats will running for. President support civil unions and it allows them to say i think marriage is too far it has a religious meaning but i also wanna do for the gay community and and by two thousand ten that becomes a big strategic problem. Georgie of the country supports marriage or civil unions. But there's a big chunk in the middle. The sort of moderate middle where gay marriage campaigners have to go out. And convinces people who have been persuaded that gay and lesbian couples are all the same rights and benefits opposite. Sex couples can have by being married but that the actual symbolic value of the term marriage has its own is its own goal and denying gay couples. The ability to be married is a form of injury to them. The author sasha eisenberg. They're speaking to monaco's andrew mueller earlier this week. One.
