Why Everyone Is Leaving Minnesota
"So John, let's talk about the demographics of who's coming and who's going. Because I think the raw numbers are obviously significant. But it's even more significant if you drill down and you say, well, who's coming into Minnesota and who's leaving Minnesota and the IRS maintains a massive database that allows us to answer those questions. Yeah, so I said earlier on about employment there are these kind of standard liberal responses. Are people retiring? That's why they're the labor forces down. And very often these things are just kind of knee jerks, you know, they just pat somebody on their head and they say this particular thing. And the same thing with migration. Whenever you talk about the migration numbers, they get the same responses all the time. People say, well, it's old people retiring. But again, if you look at most recently, of which there's data, every single age category, that the IRS breaks data down into recorded a net loss of residents from Minnesota to other parts of the United States. Under 26 year olds and up, every single group, we saw losses. So it's not just old people leaving. Everybody's leaving. Another interesting point is that they break down the net flows by income. Now, if you look at so if you look at it across a chart, what you see there is Minnesota attracts residents in the two income categories up to 25 to $50,000 a year. So below $25,000 a year, Minnesota gains residents on net.

Rescuing Sudanese Slaves: Todd Chatman Shares One Woman's Story
"Serve a good God, a God who allows us to participate in his work. In our generation, we're talking to Todd Chapman with Christian solidarity international and part of God's work right now through Christian solidarity international is literally freeing slaves from captivity. And I want us as the western the American church to understand the evil in the world, it will deepen your faith if you understand the evil in the world and if you understand that God has appointed you to take apart and doing something about it. That's a fact that's a fact. Todd, talk to us about some of the stories or one of the stories of one of the women that has been through this process. So we can put more of a face on this, because. I guess the one that first comes to mind is a woman named joke and I had the opportunity to meet her and learn her story. He's about 26, 27 years old now, but she was taken captive when she was three years old. She was at her home in South Sudan, her grandma was there with her at the time. They were just going about daily life. And these raiders came into her community. And they grandma was too old to have any value, so they left her behind, but they took a joke and they took her mother as slaves. And so they take them to the slave camp in the north and they were separated. Mom was taken, you know, to one family. Duke was taken to another and basically now her life just became this nightmare of doing whatever her slave master. Told her that she was to do. She was raped by this man, even though he had his own family. He raped a joke. She got pregnant twice. And finally, he was able to come into freedom just a few years ago because she happened to meet this Arab slave liberator that we partner with to go in and negotiate freedom for these slaves. And he found he'd met her at a market. He identified that she was likely a slave, began to have dialog and said, look, I think we can get you out. And thank God we were able to do that.

"When a prager 7 7 6 Dallas Texas met hello. Yeah, it has been a long time. Ed talked to you in a while. Yeah, I know. I was saying, why does Matt Cole anymore? And I'm glad I've been listening to yourself. In fact, I mean, I've been a plague utopia man for a decade. Great. And I know you've always used an example about a dog or a human being in a Lake. And so Dennis and sick Dennis played standing on the bank, okay? And you would always go for the human. That's the moral choice. Right. But I was just thinking about auto and I can hear your grief. And say that dog was auto. Would that change your mind at all? No. It couldn't. It would change my mind, then I would have no right to criticize any other person's decision. Because they love their dog as much as I or more to the point my wife loved as much as I did, she loved him more. She was very bonded. And it's really affected her. And I've actually discussed this with her on a number of occasions, and she says how hard it would be, but that's the point of values. I need to make this point to everybody. A definition of a value, is that which you treasure more than your feelings. 35 years ago, I gave a talk in Kansas City. To young people, for a weekend I was a weekend speaker. And my dear friend, Joel alperson, who has become sort of the producer of all my works beginning with the rational Bible. And he was, that's where we met. And it was recorded and then he now was transcribed it from 35 years ago, if I'm not mistaken. And that was the theme of the weekend. Your values are more important than your feelings. Of course I love Otto more than anybody other than the people in my life. Of course, that's true. I mean, if you had a pet raccoon, you would love the raccoon more than you would love a stranger. So it's interesting. I have asked the high school kids over the years who vote to save their dog because they love their dog. They don't love the stranger. It's the usual reasoning. Well, would you say that somebody who saved and then I give their turtle? Let me turtle swim, but so pick a non swimming pet that is not in the mammalian world or is in the mammalian world, but many runs lower than a dog. In sophistication, et cetera, is there any time you would say, well, that's wrong. And you can't, because love is love. See, we have abandoned values. Values today are synonymous with emotions. That's why this question has been so important because it leads to so much discussion about so many things. Let's see door Michigan and Scott hello Scott. Hi, Dennis. I'm an enthusiastic listener to your show. I love your show and I especially love the way that you teach us about the Bible both Jews and Christians, things that things in ways that we never thought of before. I really appreciate your show. Thank you very much. So I have a little twist to your question and I hope it not changed that too much. What if the stranger was trying to do you fondly harmed? Well then so I see, well, so then so forget the dog issue. If a stranger trying to do me bodily harm were drowning, would I save him? Forget, it's not even a question anymore. What I save him or my dog first. Would I save somebody who's trying to hurt me badly? Probably not. I was lost until I saw you halo I was blind..

"I'm gonna start thinking about that. And that time over at Johnny's place well this chick got up and she slept hey everybody, this is a sort of revelation to me this hour. About guys going out with guys regularly and I gave regularly an arbitrary member of about three times a month. And so far, every three for three, and two women and one man, all fully at peace with it. Lynn in Louisville, Kentucky, hi there. Hello. Okay. I'm not fully at peace with it. I've been married for like 31 years. And my husband's always done this. He has a lot of friends, a lot of different interests. And so my feelings, ebb and flow, like with how our marriage is going. Sometimes I'm like, get out, I need you to go away. But it always comes back through the sound so pathetic when you say it. It always comes back to I want him to want to be with me the most. Yeah, in this instance, I resonate to what you're saying. I mean, I also resonate, I feel bad because I'm pretty strong opinion person, but what you say makes perfect sense to me, and yet when you heard these other women, why don't you think? Now, I didn't get to hear them. I was busy trying to get in. I heard the ceiling of one lady go and let men be men. Yes, that's right, yes. I agree with that. Sometimes admire my husband for all the manly things that he does. And maybe an honestly I've thought this through because I have time to think this through. Sometimes jealous of all the things he does to be completely honest. I have this weird feeling of you should get your own, like you said, get more hobbies. I need to get more hobbies. And do more things, so I wouldn't want to have that mental struggle of him doing things. And younger when we were younger, he did more things that I would consider like, I don't really love guys going out to bars when they're married, but he did that. Now it's just having a drink, it may be a sports car. It's a whole different thing. So as our marriage is matured, it's gone this whole damage. You know, of what it used to be when we were young, we were like 24 when we got married and now we're in our 50s. So it's kind of ebbed and flowed, but it's the underlying healing is and maybe I should just say this to him. Sometimes I wonder if he just came in and scooped me up and said I missed you. You know, if that would be make everything just feel a little bit easier for me or better for me and look, I'm making it all about me. Well, it is about you. That's very fair in this instance. Look, his going out is about him. You know what? That's a good point. Very good point. That's correct. Just for the record, it is my job to make good points. That's why they pay me. But it's fine. I'm asking all of you, why does it to you? See, I am so aware that there are many ways to lead a good honorable and happy life. I don't claim there is only one way. I mean, in certain arenas, I'm more adamant than others, but I know that people have such different natures, different things resonate. With them. So it doesn't resonate with me. Leaving my wife and having a night with the guys. And if I'm not a guy's guy, I don't know who is. But it just, it doesn't resonate with me. What she said was very touching if you are a guy that does that. When she said, I wish he would come home and, you know, scoop me up and say, I missed you. I don't know what's wrong in a guy's taking that advice. I have a saying which. Not everybody agrees with. As I have learned, but I still believe it. The you make love outside the bedroom and you have sex inside the bedroom. It's very contrary to what people say because they call it making love. And sometimes it is. But the truth is, it's how you act outside the bedroom, which is even in the most sexually active couples lives, 99% of the time. And that's what matters. That's when you should really be clear that you love your spouse and when men should be telling their wives. But anyway, that's a separate subject, somewhat. Hi, everybody. I'm Dennis prager.

"Is the name of your video ami is to the do they have names? Commenting on the loose. That's the generic name for me. Yeah, but is there a name for each video? Okay, anyway, this video is our borders racist. Leftist folks in the East Village in Manhattan and then went to central Americans in Mexico trying to get into the United States illegally and everyone of the central Americans said, of course they're not racist. Every country has to have borders. So I asked you right before the break. Did you have any extended discussion with any of these east village people? Not really. I mean, it is very rare that somebody will say something realizes to think stupid and say could you please not put that on, but sometimes they do and I don't put it on. No, no. You see, I couldn't help myself. I would pursue with them, is it racist for Mexico to have borders? Or Argentina? In other words, do they believe that for all countries? That's what to follow up, I would like to pose to them. I know the answer to that. Why? The answers would be half half, half the people would say we should have borderless societies, so they would say yes, they should have borders either. And the other half would say, no, no, no, they have to protect their culture. So therefore, they can have borders.

What Random New Yorkers and Immigrants on Borders!

I would say probably close to a hundred, I guess. Everyone is important. The latest is up at PragerU, and at his own website. And it is remarkable what he does is, and it's very, it's very inventive as well as insightful. He went to random people in the street in Manhattan, correct? Yeah, but I self select. So different neighborhoods have different political makeup. So for example, my neighborhood in the upper west side is more center left. So I'm self selecting the left, not the center left or liberal. So I'm going to a neighborhood. Which I know is populated by leftists. Okay, that's fair. And virtually everyone, there was, I don't remember an old person being asked. It was either middle aged young. It's a pretty relatively young neighborhood. Right, okay. And he asked them, do you, what was the exact question? Our borders racist. Oh yeah, our borders racist. Everyone said yes. The underlying issue that essentially that means we shouldn't have borders. Well, obviously, because we shouldn't have racist. Correct. So I thought I need to connect the dots here. But you understand, no, no, I know you know I understand. I am sure my listeners understand. If you think borders are racist, you're against Portland. Okay. And then the punchline is always a punchline in an army video. He went to Mexico, now how far from the border folks trying to get into the United States? Correct. From where the old Mexican or they all Central America. No, they're a mixture of mixture El Salvador Honduras. Guatemala and so on. Okay. And he asked them now with their translator because I had a translator. Okay, that makes sense. So you asked them through a translator our borders racist. And I remember one of them laughed at you. Of course, every single one said, of course, countries have to have borders. And that includes the United States. They were incredulous. They were incredulous. And these people trying to get in. Yes.

You're with the globalist on monocle 24. Finally, on today's program, Tony Craig is one of the world's most distinguished contemporary sculptors. He draws on both natural and industrial materials to create new forms of sculptural language, a monocles Robert bound, sat down with the artist to talk about his creative process and rob began by asking Tony how he knows when a work is complete. It's a chain of decisions you make along the line. There are junctions. There are a bunch of interesting and more crucial decisions one makes when you're doing a drawing or a baking something. And the work I'm doing now is based to a lesser or greater extent on my experiences with the last work I was baking. And I realized on a case of copying or trying to remake what I've already done, is the path you take. You get to a junction, you have to go in a particular direction. That is a change that changes the four, and it changes the meaning of what you're doing. More is really surprised I've ended up here. What I'm doing now. I just turned the camera around just so you can have a brand new look at it. And this is just coming from the foundry and I'm just looking at it for the first time since yesterday. I'm thinking Tony I would never have my life imagine I was going to make that work and so that's probably what I would do it. Well, that's wonderful to see this. Thanks for showing us that Tony, looking at your face on the Zoom call here. It's lovely. It's a picture. I can see that that's a beautiful work. You're pleased with that one. Where did that what's the story of that? I mean, I'm just generally, I mean, people are always asking one materials and there are endless material and at least since the beginning of the 20th century, there's been a whole process of providing new materials for making sculpture with or even more particularly in redefining sculpture as a way of looking at the physical world, the material world and giving it meaning and whatever. And there are no boundaries anymore. So really, it's really a question of finding out what it's what it's about and what things have some importance for once a person. So every material has its own range of possibilities and things you can do. And the materials and you've always been about the materials, your work has obviously changed over the years from the stacks. In fact, tell us about it because I love those works. You were using everyday materials in inverted commas, but giving the impression of time and of fossilization almost. It was like seeing a kind of cross section of a piece of mantle of the earth's crust or something like that. Did you kind of have a change of was it just a sort of slow evolution in your work or was it was there a moment when you kind of a new form suddenly presented itself to you? Suddenly suddenly that sketch in the morning became something different. Well, you know, I had the opportunity and the privilege of having a really good education in Britain. I went to a really good art school and met a lot of people that had fantastic conversations with. So when I started 1968, 69 in art school. I mean, I knew nothing about art history. I just wanted to draw and I just wanted to make stuff. I really didn't know about anything. But it was an amazing experience. I started at that time in Britain. There was Henry Moore and then Anthony Carroll then Richard dawn gave in Georgia. So the super high level of interest in sculpture already before attorney Craig Eden made anything. And you realized it was real content. I mean, that's the thing was about form and content.

"About energetic sobriety. So the Paris metro will announce this week its plan to save energy. And I had no idea. I mean, it uses 2.4 billion kW per hour. That's the equivalent of the energy consumption of 1.2 million homes. That is to say a city like nice or Bordeaux. And just this year, they are going to pay a bill of 300 €1 million just for electricity and gas. So the choice is quite stark. I mean, they could cut down on trains. But the number of trades. But that's not possible because now enough trains already to transport all the Parisians and the people from the suburbs. So what are they going to do? Of course they are going to lower the temperature. So expect to be almost freezing in Paris buses, especially as the doors open all the time. So the temperature will be decreased to below 19°. They are going to change 250,000 bulbs, and two things that I thought were interesting. More interesting than are there measures, lighting will be dimmed. That is to say, if you don't think you need new glasses next time you're on the Paris metro, it's just that they have dimmed the lights. And also, don't think it's you that you're walking more slowly than usual. The speeds of escalators is going to decrease two, so we're going to be liking and perhaps in the silent movie film. So that's going to drive though, of course, is people running up the escalators to keep warm and also just to get there at speed, but a lovely byproduct of that might be losing weight.

"Good morning and welcome to the committee will come to order. Last Wednesday, the House select committee on intelligence called a hearing. They wanted to talk about the proliferation of commercial spyware. You are now recognized for your opening remarks. My name is corinne cannonball. I am the youngest of 6 children. And Paul recessive egina. The name might ring a bell. Don Cheadle played him in the movie hotel Rwanda. My name is Paul rusesabagina. I am the house manager of the most luxurious hotel in the capital of Rwanda. The most luxurious hotel back then was mean Colleen. And it's famous because it's where more than 1200 Tutsi took refuge during the 1994 genocide. Outside the hotel walls, machete wielding militias killed some 800,000 rwandans in under a hundred days. Paul recessed by risked his life to make sure that the people taking shelter inside the hotel all survived. It is not like anything I've ever seen in 30 years as a reporter. It is, I think, the standard against which all future tragedies will be measured. Defiance during the genocide isn't exactly what brought careened Capitol Hill last week. It's what a father did years afterwards. My father was given a platform, and he used it for good. He was critical of the increasing violations of human rights of rwandans. In other words, he was critical of the government of Rwandan president Paul Kagame, and the fact that a world famous human rights ambassador like Karen's dad was openly criticizing the president, while that didn't sit well with authorities in Kigali. Eventually fled first to Belgium and then to the U.S., and that might have been the end of it, had it not been for an ill fated trip he took to East Africa. In August 2020, Kareem's dad boarded a chartered jet, he thought was taking him to Burundi. And it wasn't until the plane doors open, that he realized he had landed in Rwanda. He actually started to scream and thinking that perhaps the pilot would hear him scream very loudly and come out and help him. In fact, the pilot of the plane came out and wished him good luck as he was being dragged out of the plane. President Kagame has a long history of silencing his critics. When I was in Rwanda reporting for a book I was writing back in 2003, I saw soldiers break up campaign rallies for the opposition, political opponents talked about constant death threats. Kagame's critics had this way of disappearing. So having recess a buggy suddenly find himself rendered back to Rwanda, it was part of a much larger pattern. After a very short trial, the government sentenced him to 25 years in prison. In Korean started a very public global campaign to get him released. Which appears to have made her a target too. Though in her case, instead of an elaborate kidnapping, she found herself on the receiving end of a state of the art threat. A kind of spyware called penises. Everyone in my house at home, when they come into our home, they're so worried about Pegasus now that we just put everyone's phones into microwave, I don't know why it makes people feel safer, but it does. It's the brainchild of an Israeli company called NSO group, and it has this uncanny ability to turn any phone into a spy. It can be turned on remotely to secretly listen to all your conversations, read all your texts and track exactly where you are. Korean now a U.S. citizen testified on Capitol Hill about that. She's living proof of an increasing threat to the world, commercial spyware. Now you no longer need an intelligence service to do sophisticated surveillance. You just need the money to pay for it. We are looking at a slide back towards autocracy and authoritarianism around the world. And in my mind, spiral like Pegasus is kerosene to the flame. I'm Dina temple rest, and this is click here. A podcast about all things cyber and intelligence. Today, Korean story, the commercial spyware business, and what it all means for a company at the center of it all, NSO. Stay with us. I'm Gregory Warner, hosted the podcast rough translation on our new season. We're telling stories about the cultures of work. The 9 to 5. It's a myth and rest around the world. I came into this totally prepared to defend my American productivity. At work, the new season of the NPR podcast rough translation. Every year the human rights foundation has a big conference called the Oslo freedom forum. Think of it as a kind of human rights festival, a chance for people who want to overthrow tyrannies to meet people who already have. That's basically how they advertise it on YouTube. Let us rise up against Iran. We want a world where people can speak freely. Today, I would like you to join the cast and I want you to join our revolution. And earlier this year, a cybersecurity watchdog group set up a booth at a conference. And instead of handing out stickers and tote bags, they offered an unusual service. A free check of your phone for spyware. It's never pleasant to receive news that you've been hacked. It's like receiving bad diagnosis. John Scott railton is a senior researcher at citizen lab at the university of Toronto, and he was one of the people at that booth. So we have developed approaches that allow us to do fairly rapid checks of devices without invading the person's privacy too much. Okay, so you kind of have the rapid COVID test of Pegasus? That's exactly how we describe it. And then if we find something of interest, then we're going to go do the PCR. And when Jon did the PCR test on careens phone, it came back positive. This was shocking, of course, because I need thought that American numbers could now be targeted. The NSO group has had publicly that it doesn't track U.S. phone numbers, but traces of spyware appeared on Korean U.S. phone anyway, and it had been there for a while. The discovery that he had actually been infected in September of 2020. So that is just about a month after my father had been kidnapped. I think it was a confirmation of something that she had suspected, which was they were even more intensely targeted than they already knew. Karina shared the Rwandan government has put NSO's Pegasus by where on her vote. Do we know for a fact that the kagami government is a client of NSO? This is a really good question. I think we know a lot of reporting around this case. We certainly see strong circumstantial evidence pointing in this direction. Obviously, the government has denied it. But it's par for the course that governments typically deny that their customers are this kind of technology. Which is exactly what the Rwandan government did. I would like also to make a comment on recent interrogations against Rwanda. That's Rwanda's minister of foreign

"Now the last time the mother of zaya Thor saw her son was on Friday over Zoom, he was in prison in Myanmar, seeming healthy and smiling, she said, he does for reading glasses, money and addiction. She had no reason to suspect that within days her son would be one of four prisoners to be executed in Myanmar, known to the rest of the world as democracy activists, they were convicted behind closed doors of terrorist acts against the army. Let's find out more here's doctor Ronan Lee, an academic and author of Myanmar's Rohingya genocide identity history and hate speech, and a regular voice on monocle 24, a very warm welcome back. Good morning. Good to be with you. So just tell us what happened this weekend. Well, did you executed four people? It's a big change in terms of the junta's approach to executions of prisoners. It's been decades since prisoners have been executed within Myanmar. We know there are 15,000 political prisoners been arrested since the coup in February of 2021. So this is quite a concerning development. This would be terrifying for those prisoners and for the families and friends and loved ones because they'll of course be concerned about their fate. There were four executed the no sense that there was any sort of fear or run or just legal process that led to the decision. It was on the basis of a political decision by the Myanmar generals to execute some people and it's a closed court process of course and that was the decision that was carried out yesterday. Perhaps even more terrifying for the 15,000 that are in jail as well was that in January, the jaunty sent a message to prison wardens to clean the gallows at your prison. So this execution, I think, is about instilling terror in people and using terror and fear as a means of trying to quell opposition to the military coup. Tell us a little bit more about the four who died this weekend. I mentioned one man, a former hip hop star turned lawmaker and ally of Aung San Suu Kyi. So arguably a reasonably high profile man, but these four who were chosen in particular why. Well, two of the four were less high profile, and they were, they were executed because they allegedly targeted and killed a junta informer. And acts like that and people within Myanmar targeting staff and military figures has been affecting the junta. There's a people's defense force now within Myanmar that's taking on the junta militarily. It's having some success. And I think that's something that the junta is determined to stop. The other two were quite high profile, one kojima would be a nationally recognized figure. It household name within Myanmar leader of the 1988 uprising that almost toppled military rules, the uprising that brought on the sense of cheetah political prominence. It would have been would have been well known throughout the country in all parts of the country. Pierce Thor, who's. Mother was so surprised by that this is happened in such short order is similarly high profit member and member of the member of the parliament within Myanmar. Best known to young people within Myanmar is a very popular hip hop musician involved with the hip hop band acid that one of the first hip hop bands within Myanmar, which regularly criticized military rulers through their lyrics. And I think that this is an indication of the military's attitude towards the jail poets, the jail journalists, and they gel musicians because they don't want to be critiqued for the actions that they do. And they're terrified of what people say about them because they're worried about their legitimacy within me and they know the people don't want them. And they don't want a situation where poets and musicians are making fun of them and critiquing their policies. It's a very sad development for Myanmar. In some ways, though, it's an admission of what the junk has been doing seeds the day of the coup. I mean, these are executions of four people in prison. But the judges targeted civilians since day one. I mean, this is nothing new. There are thousands of people who have been killed since the day of the coup. The junta targeted peaceful protesters with sniper fire. So it gives you some sense of what the joint is like, but the development where they're actually executing people who they've got within their control in the prison system, that is new, and I think that's an indication that the junta is feeling threatened and feeling weaker than it has been for quite some time. The military crackdown on peaceful protesters has been going on for more than a year will ever since they took power in February 2021. The fact remains though that simply executing four people, how much of a renewed chilling effect does it have on people's ability or desire to protest or push back? I think not the effect that the generals would hope and would expect. I think what's happened since the coup and because of the targeting of civilians, we've seen over the last 18 months. I think the people of Myanmar have decided that this is a generational opportunity to remove the military from power. This is their chance. And if they don't take it, they'll never be rid of these people. I think that's the attitude within Myanmar. So maybe had this been done at the very beginning, you might have seen a potentially different reaction from the public. But I think at this stage, the public are all in. There's live military engagements between.

"That autism diagnosis has helped grace understand herself. Has helped her realize that she's not a bad roommate or a bad coworker or a bad friend. It's allowed her to see herself for exactly the way she is. And it's allowed grace to see herself more clearly during moments when she isn't feeling so great. Moments when she would have previously shamed herself for having such a strong reaction. It validated the panic attack I had in a Costco one time. I don't do well when there's a lot of people around and there's a lot of noise. Which Costco is just this condensed bundle of a million people making a lot of noise. All the time. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. all the time. And so every time I've been in the Costco, I would be in the store for maybe 30 seconds and I'd suddenly feel just really dizzy and lightheaded and whoever I went with. It just boiled down to, I would just make sure I could see the back of them. So that I didn't like wander off and get lost somewhere. And then by the time I would get out, I would be so exhausted by the end that I just would not do well for the rest of the day. So I will never have a Costco membership because I will never willingly go in unless you bribe me with a hot dog. That's the only thing from Costco that I am cool with is the $1 and 50 cent hot dog and soda. I used to have just one of the small single serve blenders, but I feel like it was designed really poorly because the blade of the blender was in the bottom of the cup and I do quite like smoothies. It's one of the few ways that I actually managed to eat fruit. So I'm like, okay, I need to invest in a nice, solid blender that can do exactly everything I want. So I got online and I did all my research and I'm like, okay, I want the blade to be in the lid, so it's easier to clean. I want the cup to preferably be larger. And I want it to come with multiple cups that I can just buy and also buy extra cups. So I narrowed it down to the exact blender I wanted and like, okay, this one is at Walmart. It's in this aisle. I'm going to go there after work someday and pick it up. And so I go to Walmart one day and I'm standing in the blender aisle. And it's not there. There's like the little tag that says the blender brand on it. It should be right here and there is nothing. And I walked up and down the aisle like ten times I searched behind boxes. I double checked that there were no other blender aisles. This is the only aisle that I have to surge. And I looked on every shelf, checked every box and there's my blender is not here, it's said it would be here, and it's not. The one time I want unfettered capitalism to work in my favor, it doesn't work. And I just eventually got to the point where I'm standing in the middle of the blender aisle in Walmart and I don't know what to do now because they don't have my blender. I had already had this all figured out and what do I do? And it maybe it took me a solid 30 minutes to realize great, there's another store in town where you can get this blender. Go check that store. But for some reason, when my mind had made the plan of okay, I'm going to go check Walmart, see if they have this blender. That was the only thing my mind had, and it didn't allow for that flexibility of, well, maybe there's a different story. You could look at or maybe you could order it online because now I went to the plunger right then. And it's not just blenders or the stress that naturally comes with making a big purchase. This kind of fixation happens a lot to grace. There's a specific brand and flavor of breakfast burrito. And I can't do any other flavor even if it's the same brand. And this is the same flavor that tends to be sold out the most at my grocery store. God damn it. So that's like, well, I guess I'm just not getting breakfast burritos. Meeting new people in a way that allows her to feel connected to them can still be hard for grace. Like even doing this interview, for example, so for this interview, I knew intellectually that you guys are not mean you're very nice people. You're humans who have had really crappy days and really good days. And so there shouldn't be any tension there shouldn't be any nerves because you're all very nice. But that's completely separate from the emotional aspect of I am freaking terrified because I appreciate these people in the work that they do and I really don't want to make an idiot out of myself in front of them. And so it's just trying to hold both of those in my mind of, yeah, I feel terrified even though I know I shouldn't be. So let's just see how this goes. I think in a room full of people I've never met before. In person, there's a different aspect to it because I think I get more conscientious of how I'm holding myself or the fact that I can't really stay plugged into one conversation and so I tend to end up bouncing around from one conversation to the next. So if there are three conversations going on, I'm like holding all of them in my head at the same time..

"I'm Nora mcenerney and this is terrible thanks for asking. In one of our march 2021 episodes, we talked with a woman named Cynthia, but her experiences as an adult living with autism. Many people with autism are diagnosed at a young age. According to the CDC, the average age of diagnosis is about four and a half years old. Cynthia was one of those kids, diagnosed when she was a toddler. Today's guest grace is also autistic. That's the language she refers. So it's what we're using. And grace reached out to us after hearing that episode last spring because unlike Cynthia, grace wasn't diagnosed with autism until she was 27 years old. It wasn't a doctor or some other medical professional who opened grace's eyes to the idea that she might be autistic. It was a TV show. Was atypical in your Netflix recommendations? How did you end up watching it? And when did you start to identify with that main character? I think it was in my recommendations just because I don't remember really how I came across it, but I think it was from the very first episode the moment that you find out that Sam is really into science and especially Antarctica in penguins. Like I really related on that. And then I also noticed how the socially awkward aspects that you see in CM, I also relate to that. And so I just, as I watched the series continue on, I just became more comfortable with relating to this character. I watched it and I'm sitting there being like, I get how he feels like I understand that or like I'll watch it and be like, that's me. That's me. I think there's this one scene where his sister is about to start school at a new school. And so he goes and buys her a pack of pencils to be supportive and stuff because, you know, you need pencils for school. And I think an average person would see them and be like, oh, well, that's not really a big deal, but I'm that kind of person where when I know somebody needs something like I want to be supportive and I'll be supportive in the weirdest ways. Grace knew from a young age that she was different from her 5.

"Jesus is at the feast of tabernacles in Jerusalem at the temple, he went there secretly at first, but then made his presence known with some rather pointed teaching. This teaching confuses some people in the crowd, but others hearing him believe in him. The one constant is that the religious leaders of the day attempt to trap him into saying something that they think they can use against him. And as we closed last time, these leaders had brought a woman caught in the act of adultery and sought Jesus determination as to her fate, shouldn't she be stoned as the law states? Or what? Jesus challenges the leaders in such a way that they all leave without stoning her. A Jesus also will not condemn her. If you haven't listened to that last episode, this would be a great time to step back one, and hear that exchange. Jesus then turns to the crowd, speaking these words, I am the light of the world, if you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness because you will have the light that leads to life. This is another claim from Jesus equating himself with Jehovah God, and it ties in with the feast of tabernacles, which is still being celebrated at the beginning of the festival there was a lamp lighting ceremony, a priest would light three huge torches on a lamb stands in the women's court of the temple. During the time when the nation of Israel wandered in the desert, God lit the way at night with a pillar of light in the cloud, later through the literature of the Old Testament, God is pictured as light, now Jesus is claiming to be the light that these lamps represent. The pharisees are not buying it. You make these claims about yourself, they say, thus they are not valid. They were referencing back to a requirement in Jewish law that any claim must be established by at least two witnesses. Jesus claim was just from him only, at least that's what they think. Jesus response to their charge, these claims are valid, even though I make them about myself, for I know where I came from and where I'm going, but you don't know this about me. You judge me by human standards, but I do not judge anyone, and if I did, my judgment would be correct in every respect because I am not alone. The father who sent me is with me, your own law says that if two people agree about something, their witness is accepted as fact, I am one witness and my father who sent me is the other. Basically Jesus says that what he is saying is valid. They can't understand because they judge or they evaluate by the standards of the earth. He judges by the standard of his father, Jehovah God, who, by the way, is the other witness, since there are two witnesses, Jesus himself, and the father, Jehovah God, the testimony is indeed valid. So the religious leaders ask, where is your father? This is kind of like the first century equivalent of who's your daddy. Jesus responds by telling them that, since they don't know him, they don't know his father either. If they knew him, they'd know his father. Then John, the writer of this section of the story tells us Jesus made these statements while he was teaching in the section of the temple known as the treasury, but he was not arrested because his time had not yet come..

"I mean, I think there has been a slight acknowledgment that this has to be handled in a more sensible way. So if you're looking at the letter that Boris Johnson sent to Emmanuel Macron last night, he did say, you know, we need to have intensive talks about this. He's going to send pretty Patel, the Home Secretary to Calais to meet her French Belgian and Dutch counterparts he's offering a higher level meetings on this. And I think what he did is to put some things in this letter that a minor Macron can agree to, given what many Macron was saying yesterday talking about using more technology having drones having airborne surveillance and having things like joint intelligence, which, you know, some of which are supposed to exist already whether they work is a different question. Again, we want a couple of these issues where they may not see eye to eye. So he put forward a formal request to establish joint patrols on the French side, though interestingly Boris Johnson said he wanted to see French gendarmes working with the UK border force rather than with UK police. So which is a slightly different request, but still would have the UK border force working together on patrols. And I think one thing that he is less likely to get agreement on is something called a readmissions agreement. So the idea that you might want to send people back once they had tried to get into Britain send them then back into France for processing. Because as Emmanuel Macron pointed out yesterday, most of these people, they don't want to seek asylum in France. And if they did, you know, they would be able to do that. And France is also pointing out there's obviously we can't patrol all of these beaches a whole stretch of the northern French coast, 24 7, all of the time. We just haven't got the ability to do that. And just building on that and yes. And the fact that the prime minister in France Trump cast exe that the problem needs to be dealt with at the intergovernmental and European levels. What is the likelihood of that actually happening? Given now that they have this hideous tragedy to spur people into action. Well, I mean, we need to understand why it's happening. It's happening because France is actually protecting British borders. The roots remember for years back by truck by train by ship by the tunnel have been blocked. That is why the migrants now choose at that very hazardous and very dangerous a journey by sea. It is true that this year we've seen 25,000 migrants refugees asylum seekers reaching the coast at the British coast, but it means that about 50,000 had actually been blocked. Also, as you mentioned, the great majority of migrants arriving in France, one, two stay in France for reasons that, you know, they speak a little language. They've got family or contact. Only a very small minority want to go to Britain. And it's very difficult to send them back because they want to go to Britain. Now, we should talk about the elephant in the room, which is the two K agreement sign in 2020 as ago 20 2002. And I'm afraid even the center leaning great newspaper pneumonia yesterday where mentioning that perhaps it was high time that Britain was looking after its own border rather than living yet to France. I don't think that would be a solution because suddenly, you know, you would have even more migrants making that perilous journey to Britain. But you know, in many ways, the situation of the two K agreement has shielded Britain from international obligation. If you look at figures, asylum seekers applications, only 20,000 of them for Britain, 80,000 for France. So, you know, yesterday I read in British newspapers that Britain was swamped with applications and it is simply not true. It's small numbers. I think the lute agreement from 2003 needs a little bit of explaining. Are you happy to step in? Because it did cause issues, didn't it? Because it basically said that each country sets up immigration control points at the borders of the others, doesn't it? Well, you know, on the French side, basically, France is responsible for policing the border. I mean, the British border is in Calais, basically. That's what the two K agreement is. And for the first time since the 16th century. And it is a very long coastline. We're talking about a hundred kilometer. And of course, it's also a question of resources. It was estimated that at about a 120 million pounds each year for the French government and of which only a fraction is paid by Britain. And it's, you know, it means a lot of resources. And you can't put a policeman every meter of that coastline. And as I said, we have this problem this current problem because all the roots have been blocked by the French police. In order, you know, in order to protect a Britain. The issue at the heart of this appears Terry is that you're never going to stop people wanting to come to the United Kingdom to seek asylum or to seek a better life. The deterrence clearly aren't working regardless of which agreements, and there have been placed. And the British and the French currently in a very diplomatically sticky place anyway because of Brexit. I mean, they're not coming to this from a good and healthy relationship standpoint. There are so many calls now saying that actually what needs to be done is an effective, safe route for asylum that does need to be set up so that regardless of the numbers and regardless of how politically or practically expedient it is, people don't die. Well, that's obviously important. And yes, I mean, I also remember having gone to tsonga, which must have been at the turn of the century, which does seem like a long time ago and seeing people who wanted to come to Britain and telling me that they desperately wanted to come to Britain because they said the sky was high. And you know, they had this very idealistic view. I think the trouble is at the moment that although a lot of people are saying, well, we need to sort out safe routes and ways to do this. The part of the political pressure in the UK certainly on the conservative back benches is heading in a different direction. They're saying, well, look, because we've had Brexit, we are no longer party to some of the agreements. We don't have to follow treaties that previously applied. Obviously, as any as the two K agreement still exists for now, they are saying we should have some sort of an offshore center where asylum applications can be processed outside of the UK. They're politically that may be what they want the trouble is getting other countries to actually agree in various places around Europe and elsewhere being touted as this you'll be the country where we process asylums because in those countries are saying, well, no, thank you, deal with your own problem..

"On the globalist to talk business with nabila Ahmed. Asia finance reporter for Bloomberg news. Welcome back to monocle 24 nebula. Morning ama how are you? Very well. Thank you. Let's look at our first story together. Hong Kong rejects plea from global banks to scrap zero COVID. Hong Kong is stuck in this situation, isn't it? Because it's zero COVID strategy. Has meant that it is closed off to so much of the world. Yeah, look, Hong Kong has said that it will stick to its zero infection strategy because what they really care about is reopening travel to the Chinese mainland. So they're saying that other places that have adjusted their strategies to coexist with the virus have seen increases in infections, hospitalizations and deaths. And that won't help Hong Kong in trying to open the travel corridor with Mainland China. So we've got a statement here today from a spokesperson of the government saying that they will continue to strive to reach a zero infection and sustain the various stringent and necessary anti epidemic measures. Now what does this mean for Hong Kong's business and ability to open up to the rest of the world? This is really honking in Hong Kong turning away from the rest of the world and turning towards China Emma. This is this announcement comes after the Asia securities industry and financial markets association in Hong Kong issued a public warning over the city's strategy. They said over the weekend in a letter to the financial secretary that the hard line approach has put Hong Kong status as a financial center. It's economic recovery and competitiveness at risk. And almost half of the global banks and asset managers that operate there are considering moving staff and functions out of the financial hub. They called for a phasing out of the quarantine rules easing restrictions on travel along key corridors like to the one to the U.S., Europe and UK, but Hong Kong is staunchly sitting to its strategy. Right. Okay, and we all know where that direction is going to go. Let's move on to a story that you've been covering in Bloomberg about business cities. And the way that they support a rather don't support women. Yellow businessweek analyzed how 15 global cities rank for Korea women. We're talking about cities like London, New York and Hong Kong. These were all graded in 5 areas. Safety mobility, maternity provisions, equality and wealth. And it shows that each of these cities are really failing in several different ways. Toronto actually came in first and São Paulo was last. We had London 5th and New York 9th. And, you know, even in places where it's relatively safe, for women to walk the streets. Women are being underpaid often or discriminated against at work. We were talking about it. I think the ranking was up to 5. And Toronto, the winner only comes in at 3.66. I mean, there's still a long way to go. Where do the steps need to be taken to lift people up? You absolutely right. So even in Toronto, which was described as culturally diverse dynamic, exciting. We've had the advocacy groups there saying that women are underrepresented their outranked and usually out earned. They face an array of structural berries in the workplace. So you've got things like maternity leave that need to be addressed, workplace discrimination and harassment and safety. There are still two for your women who feel safe walking the streets of the city they live in. Let's move on to hertz. I mean, anyone who's got a higher car recently has been given the rather difficult option of getting an electric car when you're not entirely sure where or when you're going to charge it. And it's rather a breathtaking experience by all accounts. Hertz is going to really jump into this though with both feet. Yeah, so Curtis placed an order for a 100,000 teslas. It's the first step of a plan to electrify its entire rental car fleet. It's the single largest purchase ever for electric cars. And it represents about $4.2 billion of revenue for Tesla. So this is a lot of money that hurts is splashing out. So available from early next month in the U.S. and some parts of Europe. You can actually rent hurts Tesla through a hurt. And is anybody intending? I mean, how much is the anticipated market supposed to be for this? And given the fact that we all want to drive electric cars, we just want to be able to make sure that they can carry on moving if we can charge them. That's exactly right. Look, and hertz has said that they want to be the leader in transforming people onto electric vehicles. They said that they want to work with every manufacturer to help them launch these vehicles and drive the secular shift towards electrification. So they're obviously making a huge bet and previously that you've had a supply is like General Motors, Nissan and Ford and Tesla has now has now leapfrog to all of them in terms of her suppliers. So hertz is definitely taking a bet on which way the world is heading in which way it wants to lead its customers. Nabila Omar, thank you so much for joining us. You.

Wrote, produced and play guitar. On a lot of those iconic hits. He was a close collaborator and a good friend of Otis Redding's. I Got to speak to Steve on the 50th anniversary of Otis Death. Here's that conversation. Does so much to talk about with Otis here. I want to. I want to start at the beginning. Can you just tell me the day that Otis Redding came into your life? Yeah, well, very quickly. We were waiting on a session with Johnny Jenkins in the pine toppers. Yeah. So stacks, you know, rhythm section bucatini. Um, Jesus, whatever we're at that time, pretty well known for having several hit instrumentals under our belt, and so, uh, Johnny Jenkins manager thought would be a good idea to bring Johnny Down two stacks. And lo and behold, weird sort of giving up. That was way before phones in Texas and all that we knew they would do, But we didn't know when they'd show up. So we went outside on the sidewalk to smoke a cigarette. And all of a sudden this Cadillac pulls up, pulls down past us, and this big, tall guy gets out goes around to the truck. It starts getting stuff out of the trunk, and I and I see he's got microphones. And so I go running down there said Hey, man! Hey, Hey, Hold on. I said we got microphones inside. We don't need those. Oh, really? So he was He was always writing and he was sitting up like it was a gig. Well, I thought he was a driver or the roadie. Whatever you want to call them, you know? And but he was the lead singer Johnny Jenkins band. During the session. Al Jackson, R drummer came to me and said, You know that guy that drove Johnny up here and I said, Yeah, he said. He's bugging me to death about getting somebody listen to him, saying already told him that you do auditions on Saturday, not during the week. But he keeps insistence. So at the end of the session, Al comes back to me up under control room and he said, You know, I told you about that guy and I said, Yeah, I don't have time to listen, he said, But he's bugging me to death. Get him off my back, please. Boy. That was a great move. I said Okay, gentlemen to come down to the piano, and he did, And I said, Okay, play something, he said. I don't I don't play piano. I played a little gut tired, but I'm not playing the piano, He said. Just give me some of them Church quads. And I said like this and started playing triplets. And he said this and he started saying in these arms a man want whoop. Stop right there, he said. You don't like it as an artist. Hold on. Don't move, and I ran up the control room. I said Jim Stewart at the time, the owner and the engineer. I said, Get out here! You've got to hear this guy's voice. And so he did He come down. He heard it and saying these arms of mine and Jim says, We've got to get that on tape. The guys were already leaving the studio duck down years later reminded me, he said. You came outside yelling at me to get my base back out. We had this song We had to put down real quick, He said he was putting his base and he's drunk. We got. We got the track right here. Take a listen to this. This is Otis Redding in these arms of mine. The, um won't my lonely No holy and building English. He's wrong. My their journey. Your earnings from out being you and at you.
