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

Under a clear sky, the low of about 20 as we rise in the morning. Winds gusting anywhere from 10 to 20 miles an hour makes it feel even colder. We're at 22 in our nation's capital right now. Good morning, welcome in. I'm Dean Lang. Glad you're with us this morning. It's 114 on WTOP. This is WTOP news. The house is set to try again this week to expel embattled Republican Congressman George Santos, this after a House Democrat moved to force a vote on Oustingham just this week, Tuesday. Pursuant to Article 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States, Representative George Santos be, and he hereby is expelled from the House of Representatives. That's California Republican Robert Garcia introducing the privileged resolution. That means the House must now vote on the New York Republicans expulsion in the next two days. This morning, we turn to Michael Schnell, congressional reporter for The Hill, with the latest on the efforts to oust the lawmaker embattled this week. Theoretically, we can see this expulsion resolution come to the floor as soon as tomorrow, eventually because this was a privileged resolution. It means that the House needs to act on the legislation within two legislative days. So you know, it could be tomorrow, it could be Thursday, but I'll let you know, there's now another expulsion resolution in the works for George Santos. Congressman Anthony Diasposito, Republican a from New York who borders Santos' district, just went to the House floor and made EPICS Chairman Michael Guest's expulsion resolution a privileged measure. Essentially, what does that legislative talk means mean? that It once again, the House will have to act on this legislation within two legislative days. So there are now two resolutions expulsion that the House will have to vote on within two legislative days. I just caught Santos. up with George He told me that he thinks that this expulsion effort against him will be successful. So right there, him is acknowledging that his days in Congress are numbered. Can you give us just a little background? I know there's been two votes before this is number three. What that changed this has come back up again so quickly? Yes, so the biggest thing has been was that Ethics Report that the panel released just before Thanksgiving recess. This 56 -page report damning for George Santos. It said that he quote violated federal laws and that it simply detailed a lot of charges that he had made using his campaign funds for personal use, trips to Las Vegas, to Atlantic City. He used campaign money for Botox for purchases on the subscription platform OnlyFans. This report was really really damning and essentially led a number of lawmakers who in the past voted expelling against Santos. A handful of them are now saying that they will vote to house the lawmaker when a the vote hits floor. What happens if this is successful? Does the governor appoint someone else? Is there a special election? Well I'll tell you what, we just asked Santos that of what happened if he expelled asking him will he have to leave immediately. He said yes That's how this works and again the last time this happened I believe was in 2002. If you haven't seen this in a little bit only five lawmakers in history have been expelled from the house but my understanding is that then Governor Hochul will an have opportunity to set a special election for New York's third congressional district. It's a district that President Biden won in 2020 and the Democrats are really eyeing as a pickup opportunity so it's very possible that if George is expelled from office a Democrat could soon take place. Michael Schnell congressional reporter for The Hill had a conversation with our Kyle Cooper here on WTOP. Now to a quick look of top the stories we're following for you this early Wednesday morning on WTOP. Twelve more hostages held by Hamas in exchange for 30 Palestinians held by Israel on the fifth day of the ceasefire. Will it continue? Another day of the ceasefire? We'll find out.

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

morons I don't know why they can't say that see we Republicans are good ones we don't have an issue when our party screws up Jim what would you say we dedicate about 20 % of the show including today's show by the way with the George Santos segment to pillar failure it hillary stupidity Republican and just shredding these idiots for not doing conservative stuff I don't have any problem calling calling out a report to you liberals out there why can't you do that are you guys little Unix where your balls cut off or something when you were younger I mean really are you are you on some kind of hormone blockers you where just have to act like wuss bags all the time the mayor Chicago blaming Republicans how stupid are you Kamala Harris trotting out the Russia hoax again and liberals believe not a single liberal in that listening audience stood up and was like come on man are we really doing this again with the Russia stuff you got a president United States in office right now who's got a documented money trail from China that could potentially lead to millions of dollars he took from a communist country and you're really going with the Russia hoax again I'm not telling you to vote Republican I'm just asking you why you so freaking stupid I know I am why are you this dumb is it genetic is there something in the water is there excess fluoride or something why are you so freaking stupid we call our guys out on this show and my Republican friends call them out all the time we hated the CR why cuz I don't like government debt why because Republicans contributed to it to Bush Trump ever we've spent a lot of of Reagan too we shouldn't have done it how would you share easy this is when you have a bunch of principles why why are you guys so dumb and women out there here's comply another well yeah comply and right they did maybe it's to go along to get a long crowd I know don't Jim I don't maybe it's not maybe it's just you're like little Borg like Star Trek beings and Central man pro maybe it is a simulation Jim always laughs when I have this conversation I've seen no evidence we're not living in a simulation and none this is more evidence of it you've got a bunch of Jim queue up for me if you would cut five here's what I mean by how stupid liberals are Biden passes this inflation reduction act and he says and they passed a bunch of it's ratings not just the IRA but a bunch of Democrat liberal regulations that said listen you auto killers and you automakers you are gonna make and sell electric cars now a sane person who's not a dumb -ass liberal with his nuts cut off would say to themselves before we decide to make billions of dollars in this product Jim what's the question you would not a trick that's a good one but what's another one ask how about do people want these press yeah Jim had a good one though too well that's good I know what you're thinking cuz of that tweet Jim's thinking about do they work before we that's say actually a good one I hadn't considered so I appreciate the back and forth yes but let's put doesn't work on the back burner because no they don't but let's just forget about that the first question I'd ask is wait you want me to invest billions of dollars building in a product does anybody want it no nobody wants it oh but build it anyway um okay here's CNBC not Fox not Newsmax here's here's CNBC a guy who represents a bunch of car dealers you're gonna hear the commentator in the beginning talking about how these electric vehicles which nobody wants by the way except moron lefties castrated ones how they're just sitting on the lot because nobody wants him you probably should have thought of that first check this out the political push to force you to buy an electric car in many states hitting another little bit of a speed bump in fact thousands of auto dealers are now calling for President Biden to quote tap the brakes on the realistic government electric vehicle mandate their words with us tonight is one of those dealership owners the owner celebrity motorcars Tom may only Tom it this isn't like you and a couple people other writing this is a lot now dealers writing a letter to the White House yes good to it see this is thousands this is thousands of dealerships that represent just one brand people don't want these cars man them but again because liberals are idiots they're like listen man we gotta double down on EVs you realize over the life of the electric vehicle that the carbon emissions aren't even significantly reduced unless you make it a certain amount of miles with that vehicle and the difference is minuscule so just to be clear you want people to buy crap they don't want that they won't buy that does absolutely nothing for the environment while bankrupting car companies car company employees and car dealers and you want to do it why why because you're freaking morons you never ask even basic questions i thank god every single day i wake up not being a liberal i'm again i'm not always proud of the republican label they screw up a lot but i thank god every morning i am not dumb enough to be one of you you are so freaking stupid it unreal is how i have to explain basic things like econ not even one oh one like econ zero zero zero one a five -year -old understand could that maybe before the government mandates a product be produced you you should probably figure out if people will buy it what liberals are like gosh like really you're stupid i'm telling you i'm gonna run for president one day bank on it if i if i survive this whole cancer thing i don't have it now don't freak out i'm i'm good i'm just saying if i make it like 20 years i didn't mean to take it like a death spinner that was so weird if i survive this thing i'm running for president and it's all i'm going to be doing is showing you how bad liberals suck it's out it's going to be a motto liberals suck because these people are morons i gotta take no

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

Bitcoin is trading just above $37,600. The other day we hit as high as 38 three looking to retest 38 five, but then the bear swarmed in and took us back under 38,000. We also have ether correcting, but maintaining above 2000. We got BNB, XRP, Cardano, and Solana all correcting and in the red and they say when in doubt, zoom out. So let's check out the seven day Bitcoin is in the green, but barely for the week and zooming out for the one month, which is a 30 day perspective. Bitcoin still up 9% on the month and roughly 130% on the year. Not too shabby. We got ether up 12% of the month. Solana up a whopping 70% and Cardano up over 23% and checking out coinmarketcap.com.

What do you think the moon member monthly closing price is likely to be? Yes. So let's dive in without further ado. Check out our Bitcoin technical analysis. The charts where the Bitcoin price action is likely to go next and welcome geologists joining us. Appreciate the support. Bitcoin brushed off fresh us macro data into the November 30th wall street open as traders focus on the monthly close. Here you're looking at the Bitcoin one hour candle chart. Now data from coin Telegraph and trading view showed Bitcoin sticking to the narrow intraday Fed's preferred inflation metric, which is the personal consumption expenditures. The PCE index would be fueling that volatility, however, had not come to pass at this time with November's final wall street open still to come. PCE came in broadly in line with expectations, a boost for the Fed's monetary tightening and reinforcement of declining inflation. Meanwhile, querying whether the interest rates might now begin to fall. The key takeaways for assets, according to the Kibisi letter said, stay cautious, quoting them here. Another sign inflation is falling, but still above the Fed's 2% target. Can the Fed really pivot now? What are your thoughts? Also, they alluded to the words of Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of hedge fund persons where capital management who earlier in the week predicted rate cuts beginning as soon as quarter one of 2024, quitting him here. It's important to note that the effects of monetary policy lag. However, does the Fed really want to risk jumping the gun and cutting rates too soon? We believe calls for rate cuts in quarter one, 2024 are too ambitious, but let me know your thoughts, crypto fam. Meanwhile, PCE did not manage to dent the market expectations of the Fed policy with data from the CME groups, Fed watch tool showing almost unanimous expectations of a rate hike pause continuing next month, which you can see here. They give that a 96% probability. Now let's discuss November price gains nearing 10%, not too shabby for market participants. The monthly close was of more interest, up nearly 10% in November, making it the first green 11th month of the year since 2020. Now above 37, six, the close would become its highest since may of 2022. Now in November of 2021 and 2022, Bitcoin actually fell 7.1% and 16.2% respectively as per data from coin glass. As you can see here in your screen and analyzing the current chart set up, we have trader jelly who saw reasons to be bullish on Bitcoin's RSI, quitting him here after spending the past month, building up a giant hidden bullish divergence. Bitcoin has breached its RSI downtrend and the chart showed the required area for the bulls to secure, which you can see here. He also shared if price can hold the gray box. I think this starts moving higher soon. All eyes are on the monthly close. So there you have it. So let me know where you feel the Bitcoin price will likely take us for this monthly close and also breaking news, which is going to be our next story. Microstrategy talk about buying the dip. They just bought another 16,000 Bitcoin for almost $600 million and now officially hold 174,530 BTC on their balance sheet like, whoa. So massive shout out to Mike Saylor. He is the true G right here. This massive buy from a Microstrategy making big moves and again, shout out to Mike Saylor. Microstrategy, the NASDAQ listed business intelligence software giant that made waves over three years ago, becoming the first publicly traded company to put Bitcoin on the balance sheet has gone on another buying spree. The firm's former CEO and founder Mike Saylor outlined the latest Bitcoin purchase, which was worth nearly $600 million. That's right. Here you go. Saylor asserted the company he founded over the three decades ago, spent 593 million to buy 16,130 BTC for an average price of $36,785 per Bitcoin. This has become Microstrategy second Bitcoin purchase for November. As reported before, the firm recently bought 155 BTC for 5.3 million at the start of the month. And the latest acquisition puts the company's total stash at 174,530 BTC. It just spent under 5.3 billion to purchase that total amount. This means that Microstrategy is sitting on a massive unrealized profit currently of over $1.2 billion given Bitcoin's current price of 37,750. And this is the initial announcement from Michael Saylor this morning. Microstrategy acquired an additional 16,130 BTC for $593.3 million at an average price of $36,785. As of November 29th, Microstrategy now hodls 174,530 BTC acquired for 5.28 billion at an average price of $30,252 per Bitcoin. So that's their average buy amount. And clearly they're in the green profitable with over a billion dollars. So clearly their strategy has been working out. Now, as reported over the weekend, the bullish developments with Microstrategy stock price movements this year being so connected to Bitcoin and given the crypto yearly surge, the company shares have been on a roll since January 10th doing fantastic. How many of you are invested into Microstrategy? Please let me know. They also reached a high not seen in over a year at above 520 after a 250% surge this year in 2023. And before the opening bells on Thursday, Microstrategy's price had retraced slightly, but still stands currently above $500. So there you have it. Leave some stats for the rest of us plebs. That's right. Leave some for us, fam. Anyways, now let's dive into our next story of the day. We just shared the latest with Microstrategy doing another massive buy for 16,000 BTC added to their balance sheet. Now let's discuss the latest with GBTC, who is the largest hodler Bitcoin in the world with 620,000 plus BTC on their balance sheet. If you don't know, that's the grayscale Bitcoin trust. So let's break down their latest as they initiate significant amendments to their trust agreement. The world's largest crypto asset management company, Grayscale, recently made a few significant adjustments to the grayscale Bitcoin trust agreement for the first time in five years, signaling a strategic shift. And a quick shout out to Mr. A Rusty B Kran. I appreciate the super chat and thank you for sending your first super chat ever. He wrote, was a ish coin bull until you converted me, fam. Now, so close to my goal of making my two year old daughter a whole corner by the end of the year and just found out my wife's congratulations on that front. Massive congrats for your daughter becoming two years old and also becoming a whole corner. That is massive and good to hear you're all in now on Bitcoin and congratulations on the new child on the way. Massive, massive congrats all the way around. Let's freaking go. I appreciate your kindness. Much love. Now, on Wednesday, November 29th, amending the trust agreement governing the Grayscale Bitcoin trust with the assets of the shareholders, quoting the Grayscale spokesperson here. Today, Grayscale has outlined proposed amendments for GBTC's trust agreement that are intended to provide operational efficiencies that we believe are beneficial to both Grayscale and GBTC. Importantly, this is our normal course of business, and GBTC remains ready to uplist as a spot Bitcoin ETF to the NYSC ARCA upon appropriate regulatory approvals. Now, the aim is to enhance the framework in preparation for a potential turn to a spot Bitcoin ETF, which they're looking to convert their product into a spot. And as a result of this, it will ensure equitable competition with other competitors, possibly including BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm, which is a well-known asset manager. Now, according to the Wednesday filing, the two main adjustments were made in the agreement. These include a change in the collection of fees and consolidation of assets into an all-inclusive account structure. Now, the first proposal would allow the fund fees to be paid on a monthly basis to a daily basis. This shift is a structural improvement rather than a charge reduction as Grayscale had affirmed. It will not change the fee amount, but just the payment frequency. Quoting the filing here, with the changes we are seeking, the sponsor's fee would be payable daily in arrears as the sponsor will maintain the discretion and to instruct the custodian to withdraw Bitcoin from the Bitcoin account equal to the accrued but unpaid sponsor fee. Now, currently the firm charges a 2% management fee on GBTC. Meanwhile, companies waiting for approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF typically charge between 0.7 and 1% in fees. And breaking down the math from a previous interview with Michael Saylor, just 1% fees on an ETF could mean ultimately paying 20% of the lifetime of your investment over the long haul, like talking about 20, 30 years. So 2%, that could potentially add up to a lot, 30, 40% of your investment. So keep that in mind. The second proposal will make it possible for some trust assets to be retained in omnibus accounts in the short term. This would enable more effective share creation as well as redemption as is an important function for the operation of the Bitcoin ETF. Now let's discuss shareholders to vote for the approval of these proposals. Now, Grayscale decided that the stockholders will have to vote in favor of both propositions while not necessary can result in improved operational efficiency and a possible conversion of the GBTC into a spot Bitcoin ETF. Now, in order to execute the suggested proposal, the company will not impose any extra expenses on its shareholders. The shareholders have been given 20 days to cast their votes in relation to the suggested proposals quoting the filing. Again, GBTC shareholders will pay any additional fees as a result of the proposed amendments. The board of directors of Grayscale Investments LLC recommends you vote for the two proposals according to the filing. So there you have it, my crypto fam. And do you guys feel that GBTC's product, their trust will likely be converted into a spot Bitcoin ETF? Please do let me know. Let's dive into our next story of the day and discuss the ETF race. Let's go. We know another major deadline is coming up in roughly 45 days, January 10th. I think there's a deadline January 3rd. If we don't get the approval by January, then March is the next likely deadline. But the ETF experts are giving it a 90% chance that we get this ETF approval sooner than later. But let's break this down. We also have Swiss asset manager Pando Asset becoming an unexpected late entrant into the spot Bitcoin ETF race in the United States. On the same day, investment giant BlackRock met with the country's security regulator to pitch the updated ETF model based on the agency's feedback. On November 29th, Pando submitted a Form S1 to the US SEC used to register the securities with the agency for the ETF bids. The trust aims to track the Bitcoin price with the custody arm of the crypto exchange Coinbase to hold Bitcoin on behalf of the trust. So there we have it, Coinbase a custodian for another asset manager. Pando makes it the 13th applicant for an approved spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States, joining the race with a dozen others, including BlackRock, ARK Invest, and Grayscale. Now in a November 29th post Bloomberg ETF analyst, Eric Balchuna said he has more questions than answers about Pando's filing, questioning why this has come in so late. Quitting him here, we have a late entrant into the spot Bitcoin ETF race Pando who already offers crypto ETPs over in Europe. More questions than answers. Where have they been for the last three months? Why bother at this point? If they make January 10th crew, what does that say about fair play and even society as we know it? And what exactly is a Pando? Good questions. Balchuna has also raised concerns about the implications. Should Pando's ETF be amongst the Bitcoin ETF filings he predicts will be approved by January 10th. We also have Eric Balchuna's fellow ETF analysts to James Safart saying they have put their money on January 10th as the day that all the spot Bitcoin ETFs would be approved at once as it is the deadline for the SEC to deny or approve ARK's invest application. However, Safart told his followers that he doubt Pando's ETF is ready to go on the first day with others, but crazier things have happened, I guess. Now let's discuss BlackRock meeting with the SEC to discuss their ETF bid. The SEC met with BlackRock and Invesco executives November 28th to discuss their ETF bids according to the agency documents. They also met with the SEC November 20th, I heard, along with Grayscale. Now BlackRock pitched a revision to its redemption model to address the SEC concerns from the earlier meeting on the balance sheet impacts and risks to US broker dealers dealing with the offshore crypto entities. Balchuna has explained the revision sees the offshore entity getting Bitcoin from Coinbase and prepaying the US registered broker dealer in cash, which cannot directly handle BTC as the outlines here on X. Looks like BlackRock met with the SEC in trading and markets division again yesterday and gave presented them with a revised in kind model design based on staff's comments at their November 20th meeting. He also says here's the original versus the revised in kind model look like the new thing is step four, which is the offshore entity market maker getting Bitcoin from Coinbase and then prepaying in cash to the US registered broker dealer, who is not allowed to touch BTC, which he explained in the November 17th post that the broker dealers can't deal in Bitcoin and that the SEC was asking the ETFs to have redemption models that puts the onus on issuers to transact in Bitcoin, keeping the broker dealers from having to use unregistered subsidiaries or third party firms to deal with the Bitcoin. So there you have it. My crypto fam, what are your thoughts surrounding the ETF race and where do you feel regarding the 13th entrant? Do you think it will likely be approved with the dozen others on the desk of the chairman of the SEC, Gary Gensler right now? And do you feel will likely get that green light in January or the inevitable will occur and it will be pushed back yet again? Let me know your honest thoughts. But anyways, let's dive into our next story of the day. We got a lot to cover here. Speaking of mass Bitcoin adoption, we have a country by the name of Suriname. I'm not even familiar with this country, but I saw the news and this is breaking. So I'm going to share this with you. You can check it out here. We got Jan 3, Samson Mao, basically orange pilling the country right here. They're looking for a strategic reserve strategy of allocating one percent into Bitcoin. Now, Suriname, I looked up the geographics. It is located just above Brazil. And if I'm not mistaken, their population is over six hundred and twenty five thousand people. The Brazil population is over two hundred million people and the Columbia population is over 50 million people. And so, you know, this is a pretty big deal. And speaking of that population, you can see here, Samson Mao recently met with the Columbia president to discuss adopting Bitcoin. So there you have it. Just between Colombia and Brazil and this other country I'm pointing out right here, that's a population over three hundred million people collectively. Let's go. So Argentina, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia or Suriname, which country will be next to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender? Maybe the latest entry Suriname and a move that can position the small South American country at the forefront of the global movement. The South American nation is contemplating the adoption of Bitcoin as a significant part of its national economic strategy. Let's go. This development follows a series of high profile meetings between Suriname's president, Chan San Toki, and representative from Jan three, who is Samson Mao, who is widely recognized for its role in promoting Bitcoin adoption at the national level globally, including in El Salvador. The move could position Suriname as a trailblazer in Bitcoin adoption amongst nations. Let's go. During the meeting with the president, Samson Mao and Ben Van Hul emphasized Bitcoin's transformative potential for Suriname's economy, quoting him here. We were honored to meet with the president, Chan San Toki, to discuss the possibility of Suriname advancing on its own Bitcoin strategy. They emphasized the transformative potential of Bitcoin, particularly in the energy sector. They also extended beyond as highlighted by the statement from Jan three. Bitcoin could transform Suriname's economy. The government of Suriname and Jan three are exploring ways to boost Bitcoin's usage. They're even considering converting 1% of their central bank's reserves into Bitcoin. Let's go. This could be a potential safeguard against inflation and a new economic boost. That's right. Now, what if they were to convert 10% of their central bank reserves into Bitcoin? You already know, fam. And according to world data, Suriname's gross domestic product amounted to $3.6 billion for the entire nation, placing the country at the 171st in the global economic rankings. And in addition, Suriname recorded a considerable inflation rate of 52% last year in 2022. Sounds like they need Bitcoin. Now, international reserves, including goal were reported at 1194 million US dollars for the past year and expressing optimism about the future collaboration. We got Van Van Hul, who shared a personal insight heading home now, but my gut feeling says I'll be back here soon. This sentiment indicates the positive trajectory of the discussions of the potential for rapid development and Suriname's Bitcoin adoption. Now, Andrew Howard, the chief business officer of Jan three, elaborated on the unique opportunities that smaller countries like Suriname have in embracing Bitcoin. How many of you have actually heard of Suriname before this? That's actually a great question. Let me know in that chat, as I have never even heard of the country until the story just came out. Probably not many. That's the interesting thing about Bitcoin adoption and policy. A country with 600,000 is much more open and receptive to speaking with Jan three about Bitcoin policy compared to a country with 330 million, for example, the United States. Now, Howard further drew parallels with El Salvador, the first country to embrace Bitcoin as the legal tender. He noted like El Salvador, Suriname will benefit from embracing the native currency of the Internet rather than driving out innovation and companies from their jurisdiction. Bitcoin can turn third world countries into first world countries preach. The local news report from Suriname provided additional insight into the potential impact of Bitcoin on the nation's economy. During the press conference held by Jan three execs, the company's CEO, Samson Mao, stressed the importance of working with the government to fully harness the benefits of Bitcoin. Now pointed out the numerous advantages that a decentralized digital currency can bring to the Surinamese economy and its entrepreneurs. Even the Surinamese TV station reported on Jan three's visit and the possible adoption of a national Bitcoin strategy. That's what's up. This was officially reported on their local news. So this is real talks. Just imagine them adopting Bitcoin as legal tender. Their neighbors of Brazil. Brazil has a massive population, probably as big or not larger than the United States. So you already know how massively bullish this is for Bitcoin adoption around the world. Now let's dive into our breaking story of today. Samson Mao expects the Bitcoin price to hit $1 million per coin. He says that can happen as soon as days or weeks after the approval a spot Bitcoin ETFs. So let's break this down along with his most latest tweets. As I mentioned earlier, he's making big moves, not only Bitcoin adoption in this other country. We mentioned here by the name of Suriname as he's orange pill in their presidents, but also he's making big moves. Colombia, let's go. Colombia has a population of over 50 million people. Suriname has a population of over 600,000 people and is also the neighboring country to Brazil, which has a massive population of over 200 million people. So let's freaking go. Which country do you feel will likely adopt Bitcoin next as the legal tender? Let me know in the live chat. He also recently tweeted, we will see a seismic shift to Bitcoin and sound money. The next five years will be incredible. Guatemala, 2023. Argentina, 2023. Bitcoin halving, scheduled to take place in April of next year. El Salvador, we've already adopted Bitcoin here as the legal tender. Panama, 2024. Mexico, 2024. Shut out Ricardo Salinas. Canada in 2025, but it could be 2023 or 2024. Peru, 2026. And Nicaragua, 2026. Fix the money. Fix the world. Preach. He also shared here, it has come to my attention, there are some Bitcoiners that don't think Bitcoin can reach a million dollars per coin in a matter of days or weeks after the ETF money starts to flow in. They are in for a pleasant surprise. And then you can see the comments are hilarious. You should change your name to Samson Moon now. You know what I mean? So, I mean, he has some other really good tweets here. Reminder, the ETF approvals will unlock a tidal wave of capital influx into Bitcoin. Pair that with the multiplier effect and you do get to $1 million per Bitcoin. Now, I also want to share a throwback. This was recently eight days ago he shared that tweet. And then he reminded us that he shared a tweet December 3rd of 2021, the previous bull cycle. Approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF would send Bitcoin to a million per coin over a few days. Gary Gensler and the SEC don't want to be the ones responsible for sending Bitcoin to the moon. Again, this was years ago he shared this and it holds true even to today. And he was responding to Tom Emmer's tweet, the Congressman who shared on December 3rd, Gary Gensler, I am still waiting on your response to our November 3rd letter asking you to make sense of why Bitcoin future ETFs are allowed to trade, but not Bitcoin spot ETFs. So this is nothing new. Gary has been playing this game with us now for years. He is the only man standing in the way preventing us from the spot Bitcoin ETF with currently 13 applications on his desk. So let's break down this million dollar price prediction from Samson Mao, shall we? Here you go. And let's start it right here. He wrote this just recently, November 24th on Twitter. If you think I'm crazy for a $1 million Bitcoin, please meet Hal. He's referring to Hal Finney, who is responsible for the very first Bitcoin transaction. And some believe him to be Satoshi, quoting Hal Finney here as an amusing thought experiment. Imagine that Bitcoin is successful. It becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world. Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of the total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. And with 20 million coins, that gives us each a value of about $10 million per Bitcoin. So the possibility of generating coins today with a few cents of computational power and time may be quite a good bet with the payoff of something like $100 million to one, even if the odds of Bitcoin succeeding to this degree are slim. Are they really 100 million to one against something to think about? So there you have it. Hal Finney was calling for a $10 million Bitcoin price before the inception of Bitcoin. How lit is that? Now, Mao stated that those who believe 1 million per Bitcoin is a crazy price should read what Hal Finney wrote and what I just shared with you out loud. Many firmly believe that it was Finney who had hidden behind the synonymous of Satoshi Nakamoto going under the radar since 2010, leaving his invention in the hands of the community. Then Finney passed away in 2014 from consequences of lateral cirrhosis, if I'm pronouncing that right. In the message cited by Mao, Finney assumes that if in the future Bitcoin becomes the dominant payment system in the world, the price of one coin can soar to $10 million per coin. And speaking of some math, here's a Bitcoin expert unveiling the math behind the Bitcoin price prediction. Let's break this one down for you. I believe this is right here. Further elaborating his prediction, Mao referenced Bitcoin's historical growth in 2017. It took nine months for Bitcoin to go from 1,000 to $20,000. The block subsidy was 12 and a half. There was a lot more Bitcoin sloshing around on the exchanges. Mining was boiling the oceans and there was zero institutional money. That's right. There was no institutional adoption or no hype from institutions back then. And Bitcoin went from 1,000 to 20,000, which is 20x. So next we go from 50,000 to 1 million. That's just another 20x. Nothing we haven't done before. And considering we've already hit 69,000 as the all time high, keep that in mind. Now, let me know your thoughts surrounding some of this math. And I'm going to actually break down our next segment right here, where Samson Mao says the SEC will approve all the Bitcoin ETFs, like all in one shot. He was recently interviewed and asked some good questions. I'm going to read some of the questions and answers for you here. Do you think Kennedy, referring to RFK Jr., has a chance to win the election? He said, I would say so. And as you know, he is a pro Bitcoin candidate. He says, independent candidates have never won, but I think Bobby's defection from the Democratic Party and the fact he has tapped into the zeitgeist, he has really captured the imagination of the people, the people that are frustrated with the two party system, where nothing seems to ever change. Let me know if you agree or disagree. And who will you be voting for for president in 2024? Let me know. Next question, do you think the public debate puts pressure on the SEC regarding the approval of the pending spot ETFs? He says, I think the SEC has already enough pressure from Congress and from BlackRock. One thing that people don't really understand is that it's not Larry Fink and BlackRock that want the ETF. It's their institutional clients that want it. Their customers are putting pressure on them to get it. And there, he makes a good point. Next question, the growing relevance of Bitcoin in the US is also demonstrated by the hash rate. Significant shares are in the hands of large publicly traded and therefore extensively regulated mining farms and mining pools. Could this be a risk? Well, I don't think it's ideal. It would be better if the hash rate was more decentralized. And note, yesterday I shared breaking news Jack Dorsey working on a decentralized Bitcoin miner. It would be better if the US only had a 20, 25% portion of the hash rate. Right now, they're getting 40%. Sometimes the US while it's governed by a stronger rule of law might represent a danger simply because they want compliance with the existing financial system. Now he asks, could this be a risk to Bitcoin's fungibility? I don't think so. He said, I think there is a censorship risk that they'll try to block transactions, but ultimately if they try to do that, they'll limit their own profitability because they'll need to go to a black list and check that before processing any transaction and other pools in other countries will have the advantage. Now, next up, he was asked, the goal of your company Jan three is to promote Bitcoin adoption at the state level. Do you see potential in Africa, especially on the mining side? Here's what he shared. There is potential in decentralizing the hash rate and getting more into Africa. But the challenge is Africa. There is just not that much power to begin with. So you might incentivize creation of new power generation sites like maybe small hydro dams, but it's never going to compete at the same scope as the mega infrastructure projects in the United States, the ones starting to emerge in Latin America and possibly other places. So Africa might end up building a significant chunk of the hash rate by creating new power sources. The challenges, their new power sources, they're not tapping into excess existing energy. So I guess there's lack of volcanoes out there, fam. Now when asked what is the most promising country in the future in terms of Bitcoin adoption? And here's what he shared. I think there are a few Panama. Let's go. He says it's interesting. They don't have a central bank so they can do something relatively quick. There is one candidate we have connections to, and if he wins the a massive population in Indonesia, fam, read one. Camille is the governor of West Java, and I think he'll be running for vice president. He understands Bitcoin. He understands the potential for mining to transform the country. So that's another big, interesting place for us to look at. And I think Argentina is also one because Javier Malay, I think there will be changes afoot large scale changes and we have to direct that change towards Bitcoin. I think he is going to dollarize, but we want him to dollarize and Bitcoin eyes. So there you have it. My crypto fam, which countries do you feel likely will adopt Bitcoin next as the legal tender? And do you feel realistically that Bitcoin has the potential to reach a million dollars per coin as soon as days or weeks after the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF. And when those trillions start ushering in into the King crypto, please let me know.

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

Fresh update on "about 20 %" discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York Show
"But at the same time here in United the States, in New York, if I'm sick, I can go to doctor within 20 minutes, right? In the UK, if you have to wait, I've read six months, a year, MRIs, same thing, same thing in Canada. So, you know, based on my sort of experience where I grew up, based on what I've read about UK and Canada, I think United States healthcare in the United States is the still best one. Yeah, I don't see people going to other countries to get stuff done, do I? Maybe some very sus procedures. elective Yeah, but I don't think anything run -of -the -mill, I but no, don't think you're going elsewhere to get a replacement. All right, Glenn, thank you so much for joining us. Glenn, also a healthcare analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence, post me and BI, but I think he passed, right? We'll keep him back. Oh, yeah. Okay, very good. All right, Glenn, thanks so joining much for us. Another deal in the healthcare space, this time in insurance, Cigna and Humana merger, big, big business there. So I guess it's all about scale. It's like on so many industries, we hear people come and say, it's all about scale. Another deal, another day. Another deal, another day. S &P 500 hunched on the day, and the S &P is on, and then the Dow's up about nine tenths of 1%. The NASDAQ about off a half a percent there. Yields higher, 10 year treasury's up six basis points, four spot, three, two percent. I'm going to call out the VIX for Tom Kean, 13 .21, still muted. We'll have more coming up. This is Bloomberg. We'll be right higher after cost -cutting measures help the management software maker deliver better results. Bloomberg's Abigail Doolittle says the company is having its best day since March of this year. It was mainly profits, adjusted earnings by 18%. They put up $1 .38 in adjusted earnings. They also raised the profit range, outlook the in August. They cut jobs that followed a 10 % staff reduction earlier this year. The goal was profitability. They achieved it revenue beating, but just very slightly. Salesforce up about 20%. Grocery chain Kroger delivered a cautious outlook. Bloomberg's Katie Greifel has the breakdown. The third quarter it was alright, but it was the guidance that was a little bit disappointing here. Specifically, you take a look at Kroger's third quarter adjusted EPS. That came in at 95 cents. The estimate had been for 91 cents. You also had sales a touch better than expected, but then you look ahead Kroger's it did narrow its adjusted EPS range, but the upper end is still the same in the grocery chain. Also lower its guidance for full year same store sales. Kroger right now up about two and a half percent and TD Bank missed analysts estimates or earnings estimates. The lender said it set aside more money than expected for potentially souring loans and it pointed to a restructuring charge was that related to a plan 3 % workforce cut. TD Bank also dealing with the DOJ investigation about its compliance with any money laundering rules shares right now they're down about one and a half percent and on the flip side Royal Bank of Canada beat analysts earnings estimates after reporting strong capital markets performance and a tax adjustment in the company's favor.

The Dan Bongino Show
Argentinian Election Shakes Liberals to Their Core
"This first is about a minute 20 seconds the new president of Argentina Javier again Malay we discussed it yesterday this is the kind of thing ordinarily wouldn't make it into conservative radio a foreign election unless it was a big deal ladies and gentlemen this is an earthquake why? because liberals are afraid that other dumb liberals who vote for them are starting to wake up about how bad things really are due to liberalism and people like Javier Malay completely and totally understand just like Donald Trump that are politics just pictures and quick soundbites and if you get don't that and you think it's white papers and SWOT analysis and then diagrams like Kamala Harris you my friend are gonna lose I want you to listen to the media totally melting down over Javier Malay and apply the Dan Bongino theory if they're melting down about it it must be a good thing check this out a far -right outsider compared to former President Donald Trump has been elected to president of Argentina coming from the far -right Javier Malay a far -right politician a far -right politician far -right candidate far -right outsider extreme right -wing Mila is just way out there on the extreme scale Argentina has elected a right -wing populist right -wing populist right -wing populist Javier Malay is populist a who lacks government experience and displayed erratic behavior and foul language this is a potentially potentially worrisome development he's promised us some radical measures wielding a chainsaw symbolizes war government on spending threatening vital public services he has absolutely no areas his screens resonated widely his screens resonated widely with particularly young men. Malay's controversial tirades against the political class have drawn comparisons to neighbor Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro as well as former president Donald Trump. he has been deemed the Donald Trump of Argentina. Malay's campaign drew comparisons to Donald Trump's here in Malay the US. who has been compared to former president Donald Trump. You can guess who congratulated him by saying make Argentina great again. Make Argentina great again. Maybe these anti -democracy forces will in the end get overwhelmed but that didn't happen in Argentina not not even close whenever they freak out about something a bat signal should go up. Why are they freaking out? Always ask yourself why. Don't be like your dumb liberal never ask why about anything never Obama's great why I I don't know! I don't know that!
The Plant Movement Podcast
Nova Hardscapes' Nasir Acikgoz on Thriving in Uncertain Times
"Think right now the way the economy is the way things have let's say slowed down the way interest rates have risen Politics, okay world governments and all this stuff that's going on They they you know, I feel it in the air that people just want to like curl up, you know And and they don't want to continue to push in a certain way It's kind of like let me hold all my money whatever I have left and I'm not gonna let it go, you know But you have to invest to create if you don't invest you can't create don't be scared to do that when it comes to what he's selling but My question for you is all of this stuff that's going on and you are full throttle you have I see you in the venture 36 -foot venture with quad 500 Merc's And you're flooring the throttles Why do you feel that way? When it comes to that, are you scared about anything that's coming up or you just go based off of off of what? Opportunity vision what I I don't stop I go full throttle all the time and What drives me that when I wake up I think I said I mean God has a plan and I believe in God and I I in he says it work be honest work and it's gonna happen and In this country opportunities are limitless. I mean, there's no limit. There's no There's no product you're gonna say all about people are yes, they're they're holding off They're not gonna they're you know, they're not gonna spend I will never think that way I still keep bringing and I'm gonna bring it We're gonna invest as a matter of fact The green industry has an advantage one of the biggest advantages that I've noticed is if the people are stressed They're stressed with things politics and all that how do they relax of course they go they do sports and stuff One of the things they'd relax is they work in the garden. They work in the backyard They work, you know, they do things or just looking at plants to look at plants. What did what does it do to you relaxes you? One of the things that I'm realizing because we do a lot of pool pools and you know Like we sell a lot of natural stone for pool pool decks and pool coping like for pool products That business is still booming because During the pandemic, obviously people were spending time outside and whatnot But also after the pandemic still that kept going it never stopped And the green industry picked up right right during the the pandemic. Yeah, it keeps going crazy boom Yes, it's still going. Yes. It's a little bit see slow down a little bit, but it's not gonna stop Nobody's gonna stop buying things. Well, we saw wasn't normal first of all. Yeah, it was out You know, it wasn't normal normal growth, you know normal growth year over year at least for me was 20 20 percent growth Correct, maybe 25. So I was able to do 20 to 25 percent more than I did the previous year Let's say that's normal. That's normal average, you know, but you have guys that went up a hundred two hundred three hundred percent in two years You know, so it's just a lot like even the the smaller landscapers they were used to doing, you know Three four hundred thousand dollars to say a small landscaper and a lot of them crossed a million in in two years I know, you know the Amelia 1 .5 to 2 .5 and how did that happen because of this crazy boom? So now what they're seeing is the slowdown effect a lot of people weren't prepared for this to slow down They weren't they didn't let's say understand what was going on or see what was going on And they didn't think it was gonna, you know finish so I hope everyone put you know something away for For this if not, you're gonna learn the next one. You need to yeah, you need to save obviously I'm not saying you need to spend everything but you know It's a cycle then the economy is a cycle four years five years up and then four year five years down four years So if you don't invest when it's down Obviously within your you know budget and and and means and means You're not gonna gain when it picks up again So what I'm doing is when it's up you keep investing anyway when it's down you keep going Obviously, I'm not in I'm investing. I'm actually reinvesting per se Not so aggressively as I did it during the pandemic because the demand was huge. Yeah, you saw it's still going I'm still going like I'm like, okay, so I was adding maybe five products back then but now I'm adding one two But I keep adding because I'm trying to prepare myself for the next rush. Yep, you know Hopefully we'll see those numbers again, but you know, it's gonna be tough. You'll see those numbers as more people use

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

"People today, and you mentioned COVID and I appreciate you doing that. Um, because people, you know, beforehand we're traveling COVID sort of shut a lot of that now, uh, right now, is it safe to say that travel is back to people ready to go and get out again? Uh, definitely people are ready to go out and see the world and realize that, uh, they may not have tomorrow. And so they want to experience all that they can today because we have no problem. Oh, you know, that's an interesting statement. I hadn't thought about that. Lisa is we, as we talk about this, you know, people, we, we sort of wait, we sort of wait, we sort of wait and, you know, we'll do it eventually, do it eventually. And you know, you and I both come from small towns in Georgia and, you know, we have been, you know, able to go a lot of places in the world, but you know, even we've talked about times where we'll, we'll do that later. Um, what would you say to somebody right now? Who's maybe thinking about, you know, traveling and they say, well, we'll do it later. When is later? Later never gets here. Yeah.

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

Bundle Of Nerves (MM #4622)
"I'm not someone who gets very nervous very often. All those years in the media helped out. When you get up on stage and talk to 20 -30 ,000 people at a concert, you don't think twice. When you get up and make business presentations to high -powered important people, no big deal. But tonight, two of my nephews are playing in a high school football game. The semi -state 2A championship game. So it means they're one of the last four teams in 2A football in the state of Indiana. And I'm just a bundle of nerves. I've been nervous for the last three weeks as they move up through the ranks of the sectionals, the regionals, to now the semi -state game. Well, I'll be honest with you, it's almost like I was playing. And here's the kicker. They're not even my relatives. They're my wife's sister's kids. So therefore, there's no blood running through me. It's just I love the kids so much. I just want them to do so well. I've watched them grow so much over the last couple of years playing football. A sport that I never really cared that much about. It's never been my favorite sport. I'm still a bundle of nerves. Not because I'm worried about them getting hurt, because I actually see them having a chance of winning the state championship. I can't even imagine how they feel.

Jo Ann Fawcett Dramatically Changed Her Life Over the Last 20 Years
"Joanne Fawcett dramatically changed her life over the last 20 years, seven marriages, including abuse, divorce, and death, the seventh husband was a former military intelligence officer, an active member of the Mormon church for nearly 30 years, she left it behind to embrace the world of UFOs, elementals, magic, and paranormal, which speak deeply to her soul, through her many struggles, she found her strengths, gifts, and inner power, learning that dreams do come true, she is an international speaker on the topic of UFOs, extraterrestrials, including the military's involvement, her book, Midlife Magic, is the story of her journey, her passion is to teach others about this world of wonder, and today, she is a warrior who proudly carries the title, Wise Woman Crone, I love that, and you can find out more about Joanne if you go to her website, which is dragonhillbooks .net, welcome Joanne, thanks for coming today, I'm excited to talk to you. Thanks for having me, can you hear me okay? Yeah, I can hear you great, you sound great, you sound good to me, wow, so first, seven marriages you're like Liz Taylor, almost, yes, wow, that's so interesting, I can find seven people that I liked enough to even date, I don't even know about Mary, yeah, and then so was it the last, the seventh husband that got you, because he was an intelligent, in the military that got you into the UFOs, yes, exactly, all right, so I'm going to turn the mic over to you, like, why don't you share a little bit about, like, how you got into what you're doing today, and talking about UFOs and extraterrestrials, I totally believe in it, many of the people that listen to my show do, many of my former guests believe in UFOs, you know, so, yeah, tell us about it. Okay, well, and I can't remember, that was part of my bio, but you know, when I was a kid, we watched, I grew up in the 50s and 60s, so we watched Martian movies that were pretty cheesy, and then, yeah, I didn't think anything more about it, and I didn't, you know, I didn't even think about it until much later, I'd had some ghost experiences in my when I met number seven, I was still a member of the Mormon Church, but after I met him, and I started visiting him, and we started talking about other things, and other spiritual things, and stuff, I left the church, so that's, that's a different story, because like, it was no big trauma there, but then, you know, probably years, well, it wasn't right away, but years, I mean, I knew he'd been into the military, eventually, I knew it was military intelligence, and eventually, you know, it probably was a good two or three, or, you know, it was a few years into the relationship, and he gave me something to read, and type up, because he'd written this story about a space mission that he'd been on, and I'm going, what, this is real, and you've been in space, and there's aliens, and this is all real, and yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's funny, because in 2004, he said, oh, there's a, and at the time, I was living in California, and, and he said, oh, there's a UFO conference in the San Francisco barrier, you know, you might want to go, it's like, okay, that sounds like fun, and I went, and I was just going to go for one day, it's like, oh, I need to go back for the second day, because this was all new, and exciting information to me, and then, by the next year, I had enough of his information at my fingertips, so that I could have my own booth at that, that fair, and then I started getting on radio shows, and speaking at conferences, and things, so it, you know, it was, it lasted, well, I was, I was on the speaking circuit until a COVID hit, basically, okay, you know, yeah, and then I've been on a lot of podcasts, and, and I just start, I just did my first in -person speaking thing a couple weeks ago,

Mike Agugliaro: To Scale a Business You Have to Scale YOURSELF
"So what would you, what do we tell the company that the business owner who's been doing, you know, somewhere between two and four million and he's capped out and he's burned out and he's not charging enough. What kind of advice do you understand it? He's good at what he does, but he doesn't understand a lot of the business side. What kind of advice do you give that guy? Well, I mean, the first thing everybody should write down, that's listening to this to, to scale anything, you have to scale yourself. And I think people don't spend enough time investing in improving themselves. They, they carry these belief systems that they've been programmed with. Like my dad, you know, he, he told me when I was a kid, he programmed me with money doesn't grow on trees. And after I was doing about 20 million in business and just anybody listening, I went from under a million to 32 million in less than 10 years. So I had 165 service trucks on the road all over New Jersey. You know, we, we did 40 ,000 customers a month. So we did a fair amount of customers, 200 employees, double digit profit. And what's that? What year? That was 2017. And I sold it in 2017, which feels like yesterday to me, I sold it for a sign my name and walk away deal at one of the highest multiples, not compared to what's happened through this last roll up, but one of the highest multiples, I was like the cat's meow, you know, and my dad, I went to him and I said, dad, you were right about one thing and wrong about another. And of course, my dad's a big Italian guy. He wants to know what he did wrong, right? I said, first, you told me money doesn't grow on trees. I said, but if I had lemon trees and apple trees, I could pick that and sell it for money. And he said something to me that changed my life forever. He said, you know what, son, I only told you what my dad told me. And in his dad told him, I started to question myself, how many people struggling in business in the world today for whatever they want to do, because they keep following beliefs that might have some value, but may not have what you need today. So then, of course, Greg, you're probably wondering, my dad's like, oh, well, at least what did I tell you that that was true? I said, well, you told me you didn't own the utility company, shut the damn lights off. And I said, you were right. You still don't own you still don't own the utility company. And then I became just like my dad, my kids, my whole life telling them shut the lights off, right? I don't own the utility company. So I think that's part about business owners today is to sit there and say, hang on, maybe I don't know. The next one, I'd say probably number three here is I am such a believer in coaching. Not because we do forms of coaching. I've had seven coaches is the most I had at one time. I had spiritual coach, relationship coach, marketing coach, business scaling coach. I have seven. I am a big believer that you're investing in solving your most immediate problem. And you probably heard this phrase. Everybody heard it like success leaves clues. But like who has time to be like when my daughter was little, she used to watch Dora the Explorer for anybody that knows that like who has time in life, Greg, to go run around and play Dora the Explorer and look for a clue. I want someone to give me the clue right now and say, look, here's what I want you to consider. If you do this and this, you're probably going to get that. And we've proved that over time. So those three, those couple things there can change everything for everyone.

The Difference Between a Financial Cost and an Economic Cost
"Dispensation here it matters for this segment I'm fascinated by economics because it marries the two things I love business and psychology and I did both an MBA and a graduate degree in psychology and economics is kind of a symbiote of those two those two things why do people try to rationally maximize their own life and make the economic decisions they do it's fascinating me then people call it the dismal science it's not dismal at all I find it to be the most fascinating one and what I really find fascinating about economics is how easy it is and how overcomplicated even some Republicans tend to make it overcomplicated there is a there's a thing in economics and it's very simple to understand if you understand this you'll understand ninety percent of economics it's called an opportunity cost there is a difference between a financial cost and an economic cost they're not the same thing I'll give you a quick example it's going to apply to what just happened up in New York how liberals how when it gets bad enough is when economics kicks them in the junk and it hasn't yet but it's starting up in New York there's a difference between a financial cost and an economic cost if my wife Paula a who is very talented database web developer she can make a lot of money hundreds of dollars an hour designing websites she doesn't anymore she manages my business but she used to if my wife were to forfeit that career and go out and say become a barista nothing wrong with that value and work I'm not knocking anyone but the pace far less correct say the pace $20 an hour financially my wife is better off right if she works two hours she made $40 she's not economically better off though those are not the same thing a financial your financial situation in the economic one are not the same thing economically she's worse off because if she can charge 200 an hour and to she make chooses coffee for $20 an hour she's actually losing economically $180 an hour that's called an opportunity cost the cost of a foregone opportunity liberals do not understand this at all or they pretend not to the communists just don't care about but the useful idiots genuinely don't understand that Eric Adams is just a useful idiot he's just dumb if you are going to tax New York City residents to death you need to understand they are some of the highest tax residents of any municipality in the country if you live in New York City people at the upper end of the income scale in New York City are paying upwards fifty of percent of their income forty to fifty to the government for almost nothing in return for streets dirty drugs that being just garbage everywhere you're paying for nothing they're paying up to fifty percent of their income and the Liberals are living under this illusion that you can continue to take money to people and just dole it out to union benefits police department's fire department sanitation department's social welfare programs SNAP programs illegal immigrants public shelters beautification projects community empowerment you understand they don't understand the concept of an opportunity cost that when you give money to illegal migrants in New York City it has to come from a another opportunity

A highlight from Communicating Christ to Others
"Let's open our Bibles tonight, we're gonna actually be in just a couple quick passages tonight, but let's begin this evening in the book of Mark chapter 16, Mark 16, we're gonna look at one of the Great Commission passages to begin with tonight. The title of tonight's message is, Communicating Christ to Others. Communicating Christ to Others. What do we mean by that? So we're gonna start out with something, a very familiar command to us by the Lord Jesus, so Mark 16 and verse 15. The Bible says here, And He said unto them, unto His disciples, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, or literally to all creation. Wherever you go, go and preach the gospel, proclaim the gospel. And so this is definitely some very important instructions from our Lord, we refer to this as the Great Commission, and as a command for us to be His salt alights, to spread His message of truth, no matter where we go around the world. We've been talking on Wednesday nights, one of the blessings or assurances that Jesus gave His disciples and even to us, that we would do greater works than even He did, and not greater in like how many or even in the way that they're being done, but greater in the scope that was done. And so remember Jesus, the miracles that He performed was pretty much just to Israel, His teaching was to Israel, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but we see in the book of Acts, that message went really not in just Jerusalem and Judea, but also Samaria in the uttermost part of the world, much broader than it was during Christ's ministry itself. And so it's again, they didn't do a greater job than Jesus did, I mean, no one can do that, okay? But the scope of it was much greater. And so tonight we're going to be talking about really the application of that, and even as we look at missions today, here at Victory Baptist, I'm very proud that we support about 21 missionaries serving really around the world, representing human here in Minnesota and then abroad, and we rejoice in that. I'm really looking forward to this missions conference coming up in just a few weeks. Again, we have three speakers that will be with us, Brother Sam Slobodian, who we know well, reaching Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans, Russian speakers, predominantly, with the gospel, and looking forward to hearing an update from what's going on in his world, his ministry. And then we have another man, Andrew Counterman, who is a director over a ministry that helps church planters in Latin America, and God has been doing some good things through his ministry. I actually talked to him this week, and I found out that years ago, he actually used to be on the board of BIEM, which is the mission board of Sam Slobodian. So he and Sam Slobodian are good friends, haven't seen each other in a while, so they look forward to reconnecting at the conference. Small world, isn't it? And then we have David Bennett, with Silent Word Ministries International. I've known David for many years, and he ministers to the deaf around the world, and really kind of an interesting mission field. I think a lot of times we forget about the deaf communities around, and how much they do need to hear, literally, they need to hear Jesus, they need to hear about Jesus. How do deaf people hear? They actually hear with their eyes and they talk with their hands, okay? Pretty amazing. They still communicate. So very interesting, how do we share the gospel with the deaf around us? And we're gonna do a lot of application here tonight as well. So when we think about the Great Commission, to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, although this command is simple, the task before us is great. In human terms, the Great Commission is daunting, but that God has promised us His presence and His power as we go forth in His name. In the world's population today, we have what, 7 .7 billion people, I believe, it's growing by the minute, right? And so there's a lot of people in this world, especially in the past 100 years, my word, the world's population has grown exceedingly. And so when we think of that, and we're supposed to go into all the world, preach the gospel to every creature, every person, wow, where do you start? Where do you begin? And I think that's kind of, when you look at it again from a human perspective, that seems overwhelming, but how do we do this? By looking at modern missions and when we kind of the traditional approach we take to missions, even here at Victory Baptist, there are a few challenges that must be considered. So I wanna do something tonight. About a year ago, we actually went over the philosophy of missions in the local church. We spent several weeks on why we do missions, why do we have, why is the local church involved? We talked about even the deputation process, is that even biblical support raising? Is that biblical? We talked about a little bit of the missions experience across the world and wherever they may be. We talked about all those things, but here's some, just a very quick recap of two things. First of all, what is missions? Let's talk about that. Missions is this, missions, this is kind of my definition in a way, but kind of modified from others, but missions is the responsibility and the task of the local church to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world for the purpose of discipleship, multiplication of self -supporting, self -governing and self -propagating churches for the glory of God, okay? So as we talk about works that are eventually self -supporting, self -governing, self -propagating church, in other words, they become kind of, they're not dependent on a foreign entity per se. They have their own independence, if you will. So that is, that's one of the goals of missions, but who is a missionary? Who is a missionary? There's a song that I remember singing when I was little, be a missionary every day. I don't be a missionary every day, tell the world that Jesus is the way. I don't know if you ever heard that song or not, but the fact of the matter is that song's not true. Not everyone is called to be a missionary as a vocational missionary. Everyone is called to be an ambassador for the Lord in that regard. You represent Jesus Christ no matter where you go, but here is, this is why. Why do we say, when we talk about missions and missionaries, who is a missionary? And this is a definition here, a missionary is one called by God to full -time service of Bible study and prayer and one who crosses cultural and or geographical boundaries to proclaim the gospel in areas where Jesus Christ is largely unknown, okay? Let me slow down a little bit and read that again because there's a lot in that. A missionary is one called by God to full -time service of Bible study and prayer and then one who crosses cultural and or geographical boundaries to proclaim the gospel in areas where Jesus Christ is largely unknown. So that's when we talk about missionaries and we support a missionary and we have, like you said, we have 21. That is generally their description, okay, in those parts, so very important, okay? But one thing that we're gonna talk about tonight is this. This is a practical way. We talked earlier about in modern missions, there are a few challenges that missionaries do face and it's one that often does not, it sometimes gets talked about but it is not really thought about. What do you mean? So it's, again, this is something that's talked about but not really thought about. What is one of these challenges? And one of the challenges that missionaries often face is that of language barriers. There's cultural barriers. I think we think about, when I was in Bible college, I was a missions major and so I remember going through one of our missions classes and our professor, he said that there is three Fs in the missionary experience. The first is fascination. When a missionary gets to the field, there's a fascination. It's kind of like honeymoon period, wow, you're kind of like the tourist, you know, you take pictures of everything, buy all the souvenirs, you know, you kind of get that fascination. The second part, though, after you're there for a while, you get, it becomes frustration because you figure out, wait a minute, you stick out like a sore thumb in that culture. You don't look like, talk like, act like the culture that you're in and sometimes they don't think the way you do or, you know, respond the way you're expecting. So there's a frustration in the culture. We never got to the fourth F, or the third F, excuse me, we never got to the third F, so I have no idea what comes after frustration. He left us hanging all these years, it's been 20 some years. I have no idea what we're supposed to end up. I would say, if anything, I think there is a sense of fulfillment that you are obedient to Christ, our faithfulness, that you're there sticking out as long as God keeps you in that area. But nonetheless, language barriers is very, it's a real barrier and it's actually more, and I'll kind of break it down a little bit here in just a moment here, but language barriers is actually a very serious barrier that missionaries must take, that they must cross. And so learning another language in another culture, preferably by immersion, is something that's very challenging that a lot of missionaries face and I think this is really where you find out who's going to stick it out in missions versus who's not going to stick it out. And I'll get to that, why is that, okay? So let me ask you this, how many of you took a foreign language, whether it be in high school, college, whether it be, several of you have, okay? I jokingly say, Linnea just started a Spanish class at co -op, but I jokingly say, the high school Spanish you have, by the time you get older, you're just good enough to order at Taco Bell, you know? So speaking, practically what do you do with that? And so if you've actually learned and studied another language, like actually seriously hit the books on it and to immerse yourself in that culture if you can, is very important. But here's some quick statistics. There are, how many languages are there in the world today? How many known languages? There are over, there's about, actually this is the report as of earlier this year, January 1st, 7 ,117 known languages spoken by people around the world, according to Ethnologue. Well over 7 ,000 languages represented around the world, that's a lot, okay? So here's the next question, I'm gonna ask you this, what do you think? Which language has the most native speakers, in other words, this is their first language, their birth languages if you will, which language has the most native speakers, what do you think? Chinese, yes, absolutely, 1 .27 billion people speak Chinese as their first language, English is third down the list, okay? So anyways, you think of this Mandarin or Cantonese, okay, that's very well spoken, okay? So how much of the world's population speaks English as a first or second language, what do you think? What percentage would you say of the world's population speaks English as a first or second language? What's that? I'd say you can learn to speak English and all that.

". Marcy McGregor is senior investment strategist at the chief investment officer of Merrill Lynch and Bank of America private bank and right here on Bloomberg businessweek, she spoke with us today about the market backdrop. So I think we're seeing a little bit of relief from the markets that we've seen recently. But in the bigger picture, I think really what the market needs is evidence that inflation has peaked and ultimately I think we need to get through this period, which I think is going to be an earnings reset or expectations get reset lower. And that's where I think markets can actually get set in a more meaningfully positive direction for the longer term.

All right, Charlie, thank you so much. We want to get back to a big story here in the aftermarket. And that is snap shares. They are down a lot down about 24, 25% in the after hours. The big headline that really kind of freaked out investors, the company not providing third quarter financial guidance. For revenue also missed analyst estimates, that's citing a major slowdown in the ad industry.

Man, deep, you've had about 20 minutes to look at these results. What sticks out to you as being the big takeaways. The big takeaways after their announcement pre announcement, I should say, in May, the ad pricing environment seems to have gotten worse. And that is what reflects in the numbers, they guided to flat in fact, they said, like, quarter to date, it's flat revenue growth, whereas consensus was around mid teens. So we think it's a function of ad pricing. It's gotten worse because one advertisers are pulling back. There's been a lot of that has to do with inflation, but the other big negative factor is apple's privacy changes. And that seemed to be really hurting the direct response based ads more and more where SnapChat and power to the people. Put me in deep, this is not new, right? We've known about these changes and indeed, not just snap at Facebook has come out and said, the challenge that it'll pose. Yeah, but remember, ad pricing is auction based. So if I am bidding on that auction, right now as an advertiser, I'm saying I should bid lower because the ads are less effective. So what's not and better have to do is to redesign their algorithms for ad targeting because they are not getting the signal and it's feeding on itself because advertisers are saying your ad inventory is worth nothing. Now you're not able to drive conversions at all so that ad pricing pressure seems to be cascading and I just feel like

I'm good for having tell us a little bit about yourself. Who do you work for? And how long have you been in this crazy real estate world. Okay, so I've been a realtor for about 20 years. Then with several brokerages that most people know and currently I'm at Jay Park. Which is pretty fast growing. Kind of marriage real estate company. Um and I've been there for about eight months. Now, me and my team. We're kind of settling in and Trying to get through. As you said this crazy real estate market. Yeah, yeah, that's a That's a lot of a lot of craziness right now. So you've got a team. So if people are used to just, you know, calling Bob the realtor when they call you, Mark, What do you get for Having a team. How does that help? Maybe listeners out there. Know why you would want to team instead of just one person? Well, you know, 11 person really can't do it all. You know, um, I'm going to probably end up doing about 26 27 transactions this year, Um, almost impossible to do it all on my own. Actually, it is impossible to do it all on my own. You know, with my team, you know, Um you know, we we always have somebody available to, you know, take you on showing or follow up, or, um, you know, some people are better at other things and hope you had an inspection. Whatever has to happen. All right. You know, we have the resources to make it. It could happen, okay? And and so everybody on your team has different jobs. Why don't you tell us some of the different jobs that your team members have and how that helps us out Because, you know, I think a lot of people believe this is, um one guy sitting at a desk doing it all and like you said, you just can't possibly do it, But nobody really knows. I don't think until they get into real estate or go through a transaction, how many people and how many pieces are actually together with that transaction? Yeah. So I set my team up a little little differently than maybe most real estate teams. Um, So when I have a client, I'm the face to the organization with that client. Everything that goes on from the beginning to the end. I'm accountable for However, you know if, uh what would the way we've set up? We have three people that are really involved with the you know the the contracting of property. We have one person. That is kind of heading up and coordinating all of the inspection process. Collecting that data, you know, um, making sure the customer gets the report. However, I'm the one that speaks with the customer. My client about the about the repairs, you know, and you know, we're trying to prioritize the repairs trying to get The seller to agree that's still all on me. But we have one person that kind of facilitates, you know, Post contract signing. The rest of the process. Um, I have a contract closed person that right really kind of chases down all the required documentation that the state of Texas and Jake Paul requires two posing right. That's a lot of paperwork. It is. It's a kind of people work and it's uh sometimes it drives you crazy. Um, but, you know, it has to be has to be signed that to get through the title process, so Farm. You know, we just found that it's It's better to have somebody with that kind of focus and allows me to be with customers since that's really my my strength. Got it? Got it. And so when we talk about inspections, walk me through that process. What what type of inspections do we have to have? Because it's more than just one. I mean, there's There's a million of them that you can have if needed. Yeah, this morning. I would then urban shown property with one of my buyers and Um, They really liked this house. It's a very large house. They actually built an addition to it. Um there were some things that we saw that that I noticed. You know, that didn't look quite quite right. So you know we're going to have the foundation inspected. You know the HGH, which is, uh, the air conditioning and heating system is a big deal. Now, then we we actually bring in a license hbh technician. Rather than just have a Texas home inspector inspect that because that's serious money. Something goes wrong with it. So we have right specialist that comes in for that. You know, in Texas, you know, roof so big deal, you know, And it's a big, hairy insurance. So we have a company come in and inspect all of our routes. And, um and then we have the home inspector comes in and checks everything inside the house. All the you know appliances, etcetera, So it's it's It's facilitating, you know, 56 different contractors within a very short window. Their windows only got what five or seven days to do that. Yeah, And it's getting short. You know, people, you know they don't want to give you any time to do it, but it can be done efficiently. But it takes a lot of coordination, so we just sound If having one person, you know that has the contacts and you know, can can get after it right after the contract it signed, you know is the best way to do it. Got it. Got it and those inspections. You know, when you're getting those inspections, you're like you said. You've got to go back and read through them. Find out what the things are that you want to ask for what things? You can just let go, but that's a lot of time right there. Yeah, because you know the buyer. You know, if you're representing the body, or you know, they may never. They don't may not even know what these things are. They don't know if it's safety related. For how much would that cost if I repair that myself, So we provided back up, and so we helped by or prioritized what things are most important. What things are, you know, must must be done within the next 12 months. And what are nice to have? So we have actually assemble strategy. You know to requesting what repairs are needed. And what what aren't and so we helped the buyer gets through all of that. You know, they just a lot of buyers, even though this went up. You know, this may not be their first house that they buy. They may not totally understand. You know how important some things are. Right. And if they buy that house and things start going wrong, uh, they kind of need to note Should I bought a home warranty? You know, you kind of have to do all that at the same time to protect their largest investment. So, yeah, I think so. Like you get a body whose in their house for the first week and their conditional result. And they don't know what to do who they're going to call called Realtor. It's not a good conversation when you say, Well, you know, we didn't get a home warranty to cover that. Right that repairs all on your client's dime. You know, it's now even even in today's market, right? Even in today's market when things are going fast, and people are bidding, some people I've heard don't even have inspections. And I think that would be a very scary thing to win a house without even knowing what you're winning. You know, the house is going to be probably that person, most expensive purchase in their lifetime. Uh, and to do that, I don't think you're putting your buyer's interests first, and it's It's something that I I would not do. Mark, Would you stay with us for the next segment? I got more questions for you. Is that okay? Yeah. You got to love it. Okay. Stay with us. This is Debbie and Mark Nolan. Uh, dollar diva more with.

They kind of get to over the hump in Montreal. They were in and out of the playoffs last year in the flash, so they don't have that experience to draw from.

You need to bring me back some time for jokes. My grandfather used to be in vaudeville that Jimmy Durante. I know a ton of them. It's so funny.

I do. One artist a back to back and I'm doing Jimmy Durante back to back this week. His music with you. This time you listen to Jimmy Durante song. It is so warm. It is so fun. Jimmy Durante. How about that? So what's your connection to Jimmy Durante you or was it? Your father? Grandfather? My grandfather, Um, toured with him in vaudeville back in the 19 twenties. Ah! So do you. Do you have a bunch of one liners up your sleeve? Are you ready for Father dude? You could have to do a little preparation, but yes, Um not not right now. We have more important things to talk about, But But, yes. Bring me out at some point, and I will run through a bunch of vaudeville jokes for you. Have we made it to difficulty? Too easy or just about right to remove an unpopular president. It may be just about right. And I say that because we have two different ways, possibly to remove a president. One is the impeachment process. The other is the 25th amendment, and they for very different purposes. Um, the start with the 25th amendment. This was not adapted until 1967. So it's putting away and unfortunately came after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And it's sort of two purposes of the 25th amendment. One of them is just to clarify lines of succession. What happens if the president dies? Who's supposed to take over But the second part Which is a section of three and four deal with situations where the president used, quoting a line there is unable to perform his duties as president. And when that was written, it was mostly envisioned to address physical issues. For example, Woodrow Wilson who had a stroke, Dwight Eisenhower had had a heart attack. Remember correctly? I think, LBJ eventually. What was it? Um, I think it was And that protected me or something. But the idea was that if something like that happen, there have to be a process where the president could himself. Turned the presidency over to the vice president. But then there's another clause that says that if the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet believed that the president could no longer fulfill the duties of the presidency, they would transmit a letter. To the president, Pro TEM of the Senate speaker of the House say this is our conclusion. Vice President would then become president until such time as the president was able to perform the duties. But the cause, also says if the president disagrees, he gets to essentially send a letter to Congress say I disagree. On Ben. Congress has to resolve the whole thing. That's some point, so there's some process to that. That seems to be reasonable, right? Bitch. Reason of all. I think it's okay because I mean what it's doing this first. It's saying that we're gonna let the people who are working most closely with the president that is his captain and vice president. Make a judgment call regarding his capacities. You know if we have to perform the duties But then has the transmittal to just to the house, don't you? The Congress president gets to appeal. Cabinet has to deliberate again s. Oh, it's it's meant to be white. It's meant to be difficult. Why? Because Uh huh. People have spoken. I mean, for good, bad, ugly. Um, you know a president's of president.

Glenn in Peoria, 2017 mas the C x five half we help you today. Well, I really don't have a problem with car car is great. Uh, it's kind of what you guys were talking about earlier in the program, um My wife. It's my wife's car. She drives right now about 20 miles, which way back and forth to work. But she is transferring over to where we live. And now she's gonna be less than A half a mile from where I lived. I think you better get on board. Exactly. I was like, Well, do you like walking honey s So Yeah, that's not gonna happen. So I was thinking. I, You know, I could drive the car to my work whenever, but, uh, I was wondering should since that's gonna happen, Should I Take the car once a week. Once a month. I don't want no well, I don't know what you guys do on the weekends, for example. But if she's out, tooling around in that car on Saturdays and getting it up with operating temperature, that would be a good idea. I mean, it's always great to keep some miles off the car, but a half mile drive to work is it could be pretty tough on the oil. You know, so my recommendation is still used. Used synthetic oil, dude, every 5000 miles. Um, which is great, because I have to do I have to do an old change here in the next week or two. So And she's transferring on Monday, so I'll be fresh oil and everything. I was just Yeah, and she doesn't do anything during the week. I'll just take it out during the week. Yeah, working one that you do. Your oil change is yourself. Uh, no way. Both car brand new in 2017 and still under. Uh, I got a little paint a plan of the dealer doing the old change until Don't know when I think well, 40 or 50,000 Miles, so I still take it to them. I'll have them check over the car until all that well, And that was the only other thing that I would do. Again? Yeah, I'm thinking about the old carbonated cars. You know, when they were getting too much fuel, they weren't getting up to operating temperature. Remember, corporate card put the choke on and the choke delivered more fuel. So naturally, there's gonna be some fuel in the oil and I don't think so much, but you know, in an extreme case, I guess you could see the oil really dirty, so I might just ask the guys. Did you have a sense? Even though my car had only had five had $5000 on the oil didn't seem to be dirtier than normal or cleared the normal. Check that out, you know, maybe asked him that on your next couple of changes, and if it's dirtier than normal You don't even want to Maybe drive it more. Just step that all change up two, maybe 3000 Miles, But quite honestly, I think it should be fun. Should you just fine. Just just just drive it get make sure it's getting up to operating temperature at least once a week, And I think you'd be just good Mark and Chandler's got a 2020 miles this C x 52. How about that? What's up on years? I got two questions one. You might not ethically be able to answer. We'll save that one for last, Um, oil changes owner's manual. I know a lot of times, you say, check your owner's manual. Lot of times, you say, Well, those air really geared towards Um, olden days. They used to see Bernie to change it before the first recommendation. If you remember the olden days there was, uh, ad infinitum. Discussion on change it after 600 Miles. Yeah, like the braking fluid. And now if it's not recommended if you needed to, I think they would tell you. You know, the filter technology is good enough. Now the filter exactly what shavings and cleaning up Second question. I understand labor charges. It costs a lot of money to run a shop. You've got a lot of very expensive equipment. You've got lights. You've got rental. You got real estate 100% understand labor charges 105 to 135. I don't know if you can ask ethically answer this next question. Wife. Why do you have to mark up parts by 50%? It just depends. There's like there's a the way the industry has always worked, I guess is one thing. There's just a certain cost to doing business and you have to make a profit. That's why we're all in business. Um, you know, I don't think Starbucks sells coffee for double the cost that they pay for a day, and they probably got about 40 cents into a cup of flavored water that you buy for seven bucks. So I think the short answer is we have to make a profit. We have to warranty the parts. Oftentimes we extend those warranties out beyond what the what the what the parts are, and that is the installed price. Like the steak and bashes. You don't get a press stake of the groceries at the at the steakhouse with same price, you get a steak for bashes that is a cooked meal. There's a difference between installed part with a warranty done by professional For a fair price. Then there is a part sitting on the shelf. We have toe again. We provided with a warranty is it is not the same part. They might be the same box And maybe they always say it's the same part number, but they're different parts. They're different animals. It's not the same state. You buy it. This That matches is not the finished product that you get it stake. 44 Sizzler or whatever you're You know Ruth's Chris, whatever Whatever your flavor is, so that's just that's just the way it is, And I think you're going to start seeing labor rates going up to. I mean, $105 an hour. That's that's not today's pricing, so the shops will not be in business if that's what they're charging people that you want your repair shop to be able to make a profit. Reasonable profit have good employees that make an honest living and have benefits and want to be there to work on your car. And they will be there tomorrow because they're in business because you paid him a fair price to do the job. So thanks for the call Marc, and let's see Steve and Glendale's up next he's got it's a late model car. Say 2018 Honda Accord. Steve, How can we help you? Well, Couple of things.

So, um Tesla has some safety issues around it. And you are much the CEO. Fine. He's a genius.
