Actress Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz Is in Studio!
"I have the privilege of sitting here in the studio with Jacqueline Fritchey Cornas or something like that II tried not to mess it up too bad. You're just Jacqueline. I Uh because don't. Uh you your native language. Of course you live in Switzerland is German. It's Swiss German. Swiss. What's the difference between Swiss German and German? Swiss German is like a dialect. I think that you know Germans couldn't understand us if we talk in in our dialect, but we learn it as a first language kindergarten and school. Yeah and then it's French Italian English today. Of course we start with English. Yeah and you know any other language, but it's a great privilege to live in a country where you have all these languages around because it's it's so enriching. Yeah and you're able to travel and to talk to the people and to just be in a contact. Did you know as a girl growing up in Switzerland that you would be an actress that you would want to be an actress. You know I was. On stage with 5 years, the first time in my ballet class, yeah, I was a little rat and we just you know we're dancing on stage. I hope this was the nutcracker. No it was oh good and of course I was you know I was so thrilled to feel the emotion and this first time I felt that I'm like an instrument. I played with my body with my soul and I could transmit something and I could feel that the the audiences would respond. So that was actually the moment, which was so inspiring to me, which always told me even if I'm nervous, you know before a premiere or something just go back to that little girl to that rat and and I could I happy yeah and how did you find your way into method acting. That was a wonderful coincidence. I applied for a workshop of Susan Batson, a very famous coach. You know she works with Nicole Kidman with Juliette Binoche and she once came to Europe before the pandemic and I was in Berlin. I was privileged to be a part of it and then she invited me to come to New York to continue the work to really go deeper into the character of Mother Teresa, which helped me in an enormous enormous way and I'm so thrilled that she will be here tonight in our premiere. Oh she she will be there. I'll get to meet

"The older generation is somewhat corrupt. They look at governments askew. Another thing I didn't know. I didn't really understand that until until I spent some time there. But it's a war on two fronts. It's the military war as I say and they're also trying keep to the democratic and market institutions not only alive but developing as best they can. And so of course the aid that we're sending has to do both. You know there are a great number of people in this country who don't want to send aid to the Ukrainian government. What would you say after being there and seeing with your own eyes what's going on on the ground in Ukraine to those folks here in the US who are telling their representatives and some representatives are indeed very vocal about it. Especially on republican the side that they do not want to send aid to Ukraine. What's your message to them? My message very respectfully would be where do you want to send aid. Ukraine, Poland, Berlin, Paris. It's that simple I think and the small amount of money relative to our overall military budget that we have spent in Ukraine, it's about 5%. That has degraded the Russian military capacity in a way that I didn't think I would see in my lifetime honestly. They were previously say five days away from a serious attack on NATO. They must be five years away now, given the damage we've done to them. So what do you want for 5 % of your military budget? More trucks, more uniforms. I would suggest that killing bad guys for pennies on the dollar is a probably good ROI. Hear the full conversation on the latest edition of the Bloomberg Business Week podcast.

Mark Levin: Democrats Are Not Comfortable With a Colorblind Society
"And it's just like environmentalism well you know Dan the truth is the chapter before talks about anti black racism in the Democrat Party and we've changed our laws we've had litigation up and down the wazoo and for the most part we have equality the law under the law that's what we're supposed to have we've come a long way as a nation despite the Democrat Party and slavery and segregation and Jim Crow and all the rest of it we've come a long way and really we've accomplished most of what we needed to accomplish in that regard so the Democrats they don't believe in individualism or colorblind society so they reach back to the 1970s where you have these bizarre very so -called scholars at Harvard and Stanford and elsewhere some of them coming in from Berlin and other countries and these are Marxists and you have black nationalist movements black re -segregation movements and they all have got behind this idea of white racism a white dominant society and they push this propaganda and they push this hate in order to destroy our history to rewrite our history and the Democrat Party is not comfortable with a colorblind society the Democrat Party is not comfortable with individualism it insists on groupism because the Democrat Party is trying to monopolize our society and our culture and they've gone a long way toward doing that. and so I call this now the civil rights Marxism that is there is no real civil rights movement today who are the leaders now what you have today are people who are self appointed civil rights Marxists and they could be white like Bernie Sanders they could be black and these so -called scholars are all of our colleges and universities they're all over the Democrat Party and they're pushing this ideology that anything that goes wrong in

"The markets the stocks 600 is just flat to the upside at the moment FTSE 100 trading ever so slightly down and on Wall Street S &P minis are also flat this hour the 10 -year Treasury yield now 4 .62 % up a basis point I don't know about you Stephen but I am a big fan of watching panda videos on Instagram I think that's probably beneath you. Is this one of your de -stress things? Send me a cat video I'm all over it. Not you draw a line at cats. You want your animal videos to have diplomatic implications exactly so panda diplomacy is the story of the day you've got China using pandas to reward friends punish enemies by recalling pandas from US zoos and it really is just a moment when US China relations are at one of their worst points in history so is it any coincidence that this is happening right now? It would be interesting to see a great piece He's from our colleagues talking about the pandas set to be returned to China by the end of the year from the Washington DC national zoo whether or not perhaps if there's an uptick in relations there could be an extension of their stay the in US and this is a real tool that China has been able to use over recent years in so many parts of world the to be able to loan pandas to zoos around the world even though that's done in exchange for amounts large of money usually and of course China still retains the ownership as it were of the pandas as well but I'm interested how to see that'll play into the diplomatic discussions ahead too you don't like to see pandas being used as pawns but you even get panda propaganda in China you've got videos accusing American zoos of mistreating the pandas letting their fur angie get and the bears becoming emaciated so sad stuff let's just hope that the pandas have a nice peaceful time okay let's get back to financial news now and will the latest around UBS their shares declining by as much seven point nine percent yesterday opening now down about two tenths of one percent in Switzerland this morning this after Bloomberg reported the US Department of Justice was stepping up its probe into Credit Suisse and UBS over expected compliance failures that allowed Russian clients to evade sanctions we've got Bloomberg's Hugo Miller with us for more on the story can you give us the background to this first when did this investigation begin it's good morning the investigation began or at least the DOJ issued a series of subpoenas essentially looking for information about Credit Suisse and UBS to his Russian clients back in March or least that's when we reported it what has changed since is that there's been a fundamental step up up in in intensity in the probe we know that in or around June the DOJ briefed US -based lawyers for UBS about Credit Suisse's alleged exposure to sanctions violations and we should stress that Credit Suisse is the focus of the investigation but UBS is implicated for two reasons both because UBS as we all know acquired its beleaguered small arrival in June but that the DOJ is also taking a look at UBS's own wealth management operations with Russian clients even if CS remains the focus so this is about the Russian clients but it also underlines kind of the legal headaches that UBS has after the merger more broadly Hugo? Like any deal there's usually an upside and a downside overnight UBS So its wealth management assets grow by some one trillion but the flip side is that UBS inherited a whole host of legal headaches and this is just one of them Where can this investigation go from here what are the the potential risks for UBS? The risks if we look at past precedent is is high The DOJ forced Credit Agricole the French bank into a settlement over sanctions violations related to Sudan and that saw Credit Agricole plead Be guilty and pay eight billion dollars in fines now. We're not suggesting that The situation is analogous here just that the DOJ has extracted some hefty coins from from big European banks in the past but as we've stressed in our Reporting the probe remains at an early stage There's no guarantee that this will result in any civil Civil or criminal charges or or even some kind of a settlement down the line and you also report that there's been some frustration with the Swiss authorities. How are government at the moment? Well, the Swiss true to Swiss stereotypes like to do things by the book and typically they expect any foreign prosecutor whether it's in London or Paris or Berlin or or Washington to send any requests through Formal channels through something called the Federal Office of Justice the DOJ likes To do things a little differently. They know as they feel the sort of the world's policeman or world's prosecutor that they can simply tap a tap on the shoulder of UBS so to speak in Washington and sit down with their lawyers directly and that's what they've done and and that's something ruffles with feathers. Okay Hugo Miller thank you so much for bringing us up to date with the details of that and story that investigation by the US Department of Justice into Credit Suisse and UBS as well. Meanwhile a late deal to avert a US government shutdown beginning this weekend isn't likely with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy making big demands of President Joe Biden and bringing little leverage to the clash. Meanwhile Republican presidential candidates have been holding their second debate without the front runner for the GOP nomination Donald Trump. He chose instead to speak to striking auto workers in Detroit. joining Well us now to talk through the many US political threads is our resident American Kriti Gupta. Kriti, what is this hold up on averting a shutdown? I feel like I'm getting déjà vu to the earlier similar but not quite the same crisis. Yeah same reasoning, thought, same same timing, same drama, different crisis, and I think this is where we for our international audience really have to kind of draw the line. Look, the US does go through kind of government shutdown threats almost every every couple of months. But this is different than the last one because the last one was really talking about the deficit which is more of a every couple of years kind of battle as opposed to every couple of months. This is something where the deficit would have affected things like America's credit rating, something like that, whereas the government shutdown really affects things that affect consumers American a little bit more directly. Let me give you some examples here. For example, if you do actually see the shutdown come to be, it'll be a lot of government workers that get furloughed. in People the military won't get their paycheck for a couple of days. Museums will be closed for the time that the government is actually shut down as opposed to the deficit story, which was really at its core more of a sustainability issue for the United States fiscal story.
Awards Chatter
A highlight from Wim Wenders - Anselm & Perfect Days
"Wait. Are you gaming? On a Chromebook? Yeah. It's got a high -res 120Hz display, plus this killer RGB keyboard. And I can access thousands of games anytime, anywhere. Stop playing. What? Get out of here. Huh? Yeah. I want you to stop playing and get out of here so I can game on that Chromebook. Got it. Discover the Ultimate Cloud Gaming Machine. A new kind of Chromebook. Hi, everyone, and thank you for tuning in to the 506th episode of the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast. I'm the host, Scott Feinberg, and my guest today is one of the most significant filmmakers of the last 50 years. His credits include classic narrative films like 1984's Paris, Texas, which won the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d 'Or and brought him a Best Director BAFTA Award. And 1987's Wings of Desire, for which he won Cannes' Best Director Prize, as well as documentary films such as 1999's Buena Vista Social Club, 2011's Pina, and 2014's Salt of the Earth, each of which brought him Best Documentary Feature Oscar nominations. And now, at the age of 78, he is out with two new films, one a narrative, Neon's Perfect Days, the story of a Tokyo toilet cleaner, for which Koji Yakusho won the Best Actor Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and the other a 3D doc, Janice Films' Anselm, about the art of the German painter and sculptor, Anselm Kiefer. The recipient of the Berlin International Film Festival's Honorary Golden Bear in 2015 and the Telluride Film Festival's Silver Medallion Award this year, he has been described by The Guardian as one of the key figures, along with Fassbender, Herzog, and Schlondorf, of the new German cinema movement that reinvigorated West German film in the 70s, and gave the country of Marlene Dietrich, UFA, and F .W. Murnau a bona fide cinematic movement to rival the Nouvelle Vague, by The New York Times as a film visionary and a great hero of art film audiences everywhere, and by Turner Classic Movies as one of his generation's most appreciated independent filmmakers, VIM Vendors. Over the course of our conversation at the Toronto offices of Elevation Pictures, the Canadian production and distribution company, the 78 -year -old and I discussed his circuitous path to filmmaking and the challenges of forging a career as a filmmaker in Germany back when he was starting out, what led him to America for a number of years and then back to Germany, why he moves between narrative and documentary films as often as any filmmaker except perhaps Martin Scorsese, and why he is particularly committed to making 3D docs, plus much more. And so without further ado, let's go to that conversation. Mr. Vendors, thank you so much for doing this. Great to have you on the podcast. And to begin with, just for anyone who may be living under Iraq and doesn't know, can you share where you were born and raised and what your folks did for a living? So I'm Wim Vendors and I was born in Germany right after the Second World War in August 1945, in a fateful week for the Japanese people. Grew up in post -war Germany, wanted to become a painter. First studied philosophy and medicine but then really drew up the courage to go fully for painting and cocky as I was, I went to Paris thinking that's where you become a painter and instead of becoming a painter in Paris, I became a filmmaker because I discovered the Cinematheque and that you can see the entire movies of the entire world and every screening was for 25 cents, so I saw about a thousand movies in the course of a year and after that it was decided. It wasn't painting, it was movies. Right. Now just to go backwards for a moment though, you've spoken about sort of this sense of growing up in Germany after the war, there were a lot of secrets, a lot of darkness, unanswered questions and you've talked about your parents having, I guess, photos that really kind of maybe opened your mind to the world beyond where you were from. Can you talk about that? Well, when I was a little boy and I started school, the growing up world was very, very busy, reconstructing the country and looking forward to the future and it was all positive and beautiful and you realize even as a boy there's something wrong. Why isn't the past ever a subject and why does nobody look over their shoulders? And eventually you realize all that building and all that effort to rebuild the future was in order to, as fast as possible, forget about the past. And when I saw pictures from the past, also family pictures, there were all these uniforms and, I mean, my father was a doctor in the Second World War and as soon as he finished his studies, they threw him to the front and he was a surgeon and for four years he didn't do anything but put people back together.
The Big Take
Fresh update on "berlin" discussed on The Big Take
"Coin is having a tough time gaining acceptance in some businesses and why some governments want it regulated. How many people so far have had their eyeballs scanned and how much has World coin paid out? So far, there have been around 2 .3 million signups. And I should point out that 2 million of those signups happened before the token launch, which was in July. So there's only been like a few hundred thousand since that launch. So those people initially were doing it even though they weren't getting any benefit from it. Yeah, and they eventually get the token like they have the token now. It's hard to say how much they paid out because you don't know how many of those signups are in the US where you wouldn't get paid. But you can understand that this is a pretty significant amount of money that they've doled out. Tools for Humanity is venture backed. They've raised a lot of money. They had a recent round that was over a hundred million dollars. So, you know, funded project. Why is it getting this money? What do the venture capital firms who are pouring money into this thing think it's going to do that will provide them value? Yes, I've had the you've talked with several of Worldcoin's investors, you know, people who have invested in Tools for Humanity, the startup that developed the project. And a lot of them believe that this will be used as a security service, that this is going to be the defining thing for showing that you're human mind. And they want a piece of that. I also think the fact that Sam Altman is involved in this project, he I mean, is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in tech right now. So I think his presence, his influence, that's a big green flag for people in the space right now. And of those two million people who have signed up are, do we know where they are? So it doesn't do that geographic breakdown on the website that isn't publicly available. But we do know Worldcoin has done a lot of work in Africa and Asia, Europe as well. I mean, they are based in Berlin. But you mentioned Kenya and the New Jersey there. Can you talk a little bit more about what happened there? Because I guess there were a lot of sign ups there first. The Kenyan government was very concerned about privacy practices here, and they actually ordered Worldcoin to stop doing sign ups and argued that Worldcoin actually ignored that order. The government has suspended all activities associated with the cryptocurrency project Worldcoin due to security concerns. And there was even a raid of Worldcoin warehouses where orbs were being kept in Nairobi. It was pretty tense there. And that's not the only place where Worldcoin has run into regulatory obstacles. There have been concerns in the UK, Germany and Argentina. And it's kind of a case by case basis. Like it's different reasons in different places. I should add that Worldcoin has said it complies with all laws and regulations governing the processing of personal data in the markets where Worldcoin is available. It has said it does not and never will sell any user personal data and that Worldcoin was designed to protect individual privacy and has built a robust privacy program. worldcoin .com You had said about how this company was co -founded by Sam Altman and we all know ChatGPT, which is taking up a lot of our attention these days. How much of this is his own really interesting to me was that he made clear that Tools for Humanity and Worldcoin that they were working with regulators and speaking with them and we can see from his work in AI that he's really passionate about presenting the industry in a public space arguing that AI needs better regulation. So that's why it's so surprising to me that Worldcoin has run into these issues in so many different places, especially in Germany. they're I mean based there, they should have easy access to reasons Worldcoin says they made this identifier was so that it could be used as a pure login for all kinds of other things. Is it being used that way? Are other companies using Worldcoin as a secure way to access their own platforms? Worldcoin does have a partnership with the security already from Okta? So with one of Okta's products you can actually use the World ID to sign in. So these are just the beginnings of the World ID being used for security for access, things like that. It'll be interesting to see whether there will be more partnerships and how this is going to operate into online life. We hear all the time about people losing their crypto password and lose they all their money and it can never be recovered. Is there any concern that this thing could wind up losing you a lot of money if you can't find it? Yeah I mean I do think you know especially with the black market stuff there like is concern about credentials being compromised. I do believe they have a recovery system with World ID but it's a pretty intuitive thing like you have an app on your phone. I would say it's a little more user friendly than typical crypto wallets. And of course there's this big question of this universal basic income and using this identifier using world coin to pay people out. Is there any sign that any of that is actually going to happen? I think you'd have to get governments on board with that and as we've seen there are a lot of governments skeptical There's also this idea well why do we need something that uses crypto and blockchain to track keep of identity. You know we already have passport systems, we already have national ID systems. So I do think there is this question of why do we need to add this in? Why crypto? Why blockchain? You know there already has been more of focus a on proof of personhood and having access to different things online. An era where AI is just growing stronger. You know it's funny because this all sounds just so odd and maybe a little bit creepy. Yet like every day a hundred times I let my iPhone scan my eyeball to open up the phone. So this technology is kind of everywhere. Why is this particular one getting so much attention? The iPhone example is used a lot and so is that clear example that I mentioned earlier when you're going through airport security. They are different systems like the iPhone is definitely more of a closed system. Clear has had security breaches in the past year that this is a service that's been critiqued by regulators. So that that does bring some idea that maybe this isn't the best way to use this technology. But yeah, I think privacy security, those are going to be the things that the project is going to have to focus on forward. moving And you've covered this story from the beginning. What are you watching for next? It wouldn't shock me if they raised more money in the near future. This is a project that has drawn a lot of buzz from venture capitalists. That's a blessing and a curse. I mean, VCs are under a lot of fire, especially in the crypto space. A lot of crypto VCs backed FTX. So yes, you know, venture capital money helps you build your business and things like that. But I think there's, there's a little a bit of stink around venture money right now, especially in crypto.

What Bitcoin Did

"This software is being used to imprison people right? It's being used for compliance reasons to censor transactions And so if this thing is inaccurate like we're just randomly pointing fingers at people, right? Like this is neither just nor democratic Hello from Australia. Hello from Down Under Finally made it here. I'm here with our boy Danny. It's great to be here. Very cool country Looking forward to getting out having some beers later, going for some food. Also looking forward to our event this Saturday Masonic Center in Sydney. There are still tickets available if you want to come it's gonna be me Danny We're gonna be joined by Nick Bartier Willy Woo Checkmate, Rusty Russell and Dan Roberts all on stage talking about Bitcoin So if you want to get a ticket head over to what Bitcoin did calm and click on WBD live Anyway, welcome to the what Bitcoin did podcast which is brought to you by the legends at Iris energy the largest NASDAQ listed Bitcoin miner Using 100 % renewable energy, I'm your host Peter McCormack and today on the show I have Lola Leets now this this interview came out of kind of nowhere really Lola posted a tweet thread up on X .com She'd written an article about chain analysis. Essentially. There is a ongoing lawsuit Whereby they had to admit there. There's no real Provable science behind their analysis and this has huge implications for certain Lawsuits where they've been using chain analysis software to track transactions on the blockchain now I won't be able to explain the details properly. That's what Lola will do in this interview But this has implications for cases like Roman Stirling off something we covered on the show So I want to thank a lot of coming on talking about this We will definitely get her back on the show in the future If you any questions about this or anything else, please do drop me an email as hello of what Bitcoin did dot -com Hi Lola, you've had quite the week I Definitely have yes I didn't have this show planned in obviously I was on Twitter the other day and I saw a tweet thread from you and I was like, huh? I've I've had Johnny from chain Alice's on my show I've got my suspicion about them. Yeah. Yeah, he was on the show a long time ago. I gave him a hard time I don't often give people a hard time. I gave him a hard time though That's interesting. I'll have to watch that. Yeah I'm not a fan of chain Alice's Not only do I not like what they do But I also think they're full of shit Yeah, that's that's a nice way to put it I think anyone that is a fan of chain Alice's may you know Have a little bit of a problem Well before we get into this Obviously anyone watching is going to see that you are green, but you're not really green in real life and You don't normally have like this toxic Background to you in more ways than one Well, what what can we tell people about you like how much can we tell them about you so they understand who I'm talking to I mean, my name is Lola. I've been in Bitcoin for quite a while. I Write about Bitcoin, that's that's what I do. And I mean, I don't think there's much more to know about me But you're a journalist I Mean, I wouldn't call myself a journalist I just like to I write opinion pieces mostly, right? So like it's debatable whether whether that is journalism or or it isn't right? Well, I would call it journalism Even if it's your opinion, you can be journalism. I think what you've done over this last Few weeks leading up to the last week is certainly journalistic It's the reason I want to talk to you today But you do also focus on privacy, right I do. Yeah, I focused on privacy mostly So I mean to give a little bit of background How I got into Bitcoin, maybe maybe that can give a little bit of context. So I got into Bitcoin Really opposite I would say of like how normal people got into Bitcoin maybe right? so there's this meme of you know, you come for the money and you stay for the revolution and For me, it was really the other way around So I had a friend who was telling me about you know This this new form of money this digital goal that has like all of these Perfect economic incentives and you know, I really couldn't care less like I'm completely disconnected from like this whole world of finance and investment But then he ended up saying something that really caught my attention and that was it's a money that can't be controlled by anyone but you and The reason that I found that interesting was because I've always been really interested in counterculture and so There's this saying in Bitcoin that like it's a tool to opt out which I think is a little bit of a sad way to put it maybe So I would rather like to say Bitcoin is a tool that allows us to build a parallel society That is potentially more fair and more just than the world that we're living in today and that's one of the reasons that that I write about the stuff that I write about because I felt like a lot of a Lot of like this viewpoint was was missing just from from the mainstream discourse and Bitcoin And so how how well do you think we've done in building this kind of parallel? Society that you want to opt into because we do have people now who live on a Bitcoin standard they travel the world When they get to a country or a city, they look to find people they can sell Bitcoin to so they have local currency We do have these nodes whether it's Berlin Bedford where I live in a small node El Salvador, Nashville There are these kind of nodes popping up whether it is like a density of Bitcoiners There are no places which will accept and take your Bitcoin Whenever you go to these places you tend to meet people who are You know, they don't have to be exactly like -minded, but you know, there's gonna be things you're gonna agree on So, how do you how far do you think we've come? I Do think that we've come pretty far with doing this I mean like just imagine that like 15 years ago is something like this would have been completely unimaginable, right? and so I do think like Despite all of the criticism there may be I do think that there's a lot of people doing these things and These parallel societies, you know already Existing in a way around the world.
The Big Take
Fresh update on "berlin" discussed on The Big Take
"Well, its inventors and hackers hope it too will soon become a household name. is sort of a cryptocurrency, but not only that, it ultimately aims to revolutionize the way we make secure financial transactions using a unique identifier, our eyeballs. if And that sounds confusing, never fear. Bloomberg's Hannah Miller, who covers crypto and startups is here to help us out. She explains why WorldCoin is having a tough time gaining acceptance in some places and why some governments want it regulated. So let's talk for a minute about the scanning the eyeball thing and this orb which does it. How does it work? Like your eyeball scan? Yeah, so I actually had an orb demonstration in person. I was at a Tools for Humanity office in San Francisco. Tools for Humanity is the startup that developed WorldCoin and they're based in San Francisco and Berlin. So I got to their SF office and they were like, hey, would you like your eyeball scanned? And I declined. I was a little nervous to be honest. And so they did it with another person in front of me and it's really, really quick. I don't know if you use the clear service at the airport where you look into a camera and they determine your identity by scanning your eyes. I would say it's very similar to that. I will say it did not work the first time. They tried it, but then once it got going, you know, they gave the world ID to the person and it was fine. But with orbs, you can find them in public places all over the world. And they're actually trying to roll out more orbs. they So have them in places like train stations or pop -up stores where people can stop in and get their eyeballs scanned. When I spoke to the Tools for Humanity executives, you know, they're really saying that they're really interested in markets in Asia. That's a hot area for them. And there's been a lot of signups in Africa and Kenya specifically. And do you have to pay to have your eyeballs scanned and get this code? No, that's the thing is that actually they pay you. So they give you about 25 world tokens, which is the cryptocurrency associated with this project. The 25 tokens that you get, it's equivalent to less than $50. Right now, a world token is a little bit over a dollar. And there's been a lot of controversy around this idea that you're being paid to give up your biometric data. In theory, at least if world coin takes off, all these people who are sitting on these tokens could wind nothing. 100%. The hope is for a lot of people is that the price of these tokens will increase. The world tokens haven't been around that long. They were released publicly in July. So we have seen that price fluctuate over the past month or so. There's still obviously a lot of time to see what happens. So if the idea behind this is to give people an idea that can be distributed and ultimately in this kind of utopian idea be used to give people universal basic income, why is it attached to a cryptocurrency? What's the point of making this idea of a D into a cryptocurrency? I think the original idea of it is that would be the easiest way to distribute universal basic income, to distribute payments. And there's a lot around blockchain technology concerning privacy, but also transparency. And there's idea this that by having a blockchain digital ledger, it'll be easier to track payments, sure make that there isn't fraud, see what's happening. I will say, though, when I talk to the CEO of for tools him, Andy, this guy, Alex Bania, he really said that they actually don't consider themselves a crypto even though they use the cryptocurrency, that they see themselves as in the intersection of AI and crypto, and they don't want to put a label on it. And that's a trend I've been seeing among startups, that even though they use cryptocurrency, they don't want to be associated with the crypto industry. Are any people saying it sort of looks like making this into a cryptocurrency is just a way to get people to sign up for a thing that they otherwise would not really want to do? Yeah, I mean, for a lot of the areas that Worldcoin has been doing initial signups in, like these are hard hit places. These are people who $50 is a lot of money to them. So MIT Technology Review did this whole investigation into Worldcoin signup practices and came out and said that this could be seen as exploitative. And since then, you know, Worldcoin has continued to come under fire for multiple reasons. And what does Worldcoin say about that? They've argued that they make clear what they're telling these people that people are willingly doing this, that they have safe and secure signup practices, and that they're only interested in expanding. I should say too, that that Worldcoin crypto token I mentioned earlier, that's not available in the US because there is a lot of regulatory concern around crypto. There is this whole going debate on on whether cryptocurrencies are securities or not. And when I spoke to Sam Altman and Alex Bonilla about this, they said that because of this regulatory uncertainty in the US, they're not bringing Worldcoin here. are You not paid out in tokens in the US. And once Worldcoin scans your IRIS and gives you this identifier, what happens to your IRIS scan? Are they collecting these all around the world? Their whole pitch is that this IRIS data is deleted. It's not put out publicly. But that's not to say that there aren't security risks here. were There multiple incidents involving Worldcoin. One was that people were selling their world IDs, they were selling them on black markets, and it was mainly in China. The other thing too was that operators, these are the people who will sign you up with that orb that they'll find you at the train station scan your eyeball, they actually got some of their accounts hacked and their credentials were stolen, and even some of them lost money. So I brought these things up to Alex and Sam, and Alex said they've made security changes, that they've increased their security, and one line he said really stuck out to me, which was, early on this is crypto, there's going to be things like this that happen. It's kind of scary to think about in the context of biometric data. And the other thing is there have been reports that people have been able to kind of fake their IDs, they'll swap people out during the scanning process to create a unique ID and they'll split the money, and the operators are in on it. There's all this stuff that came out in this report, so I think they're still figuring out the process here. And how many people so far have had their eyeballs scanned and how much has Worldcoin paid out? So far, there have been around 2 .3 million signups. And I should point out that 2 million of those signups happened before the token launch, which was in July. So there's only been a few hundred individuals in since that launch. So those people initially were doing it even though they weren't getting any benefit from it. Yeah, and they eventually get the token, like they have the token now. It's hard to say how much they paid out because you don't know how many of those signups are in the US where you wouldn't get paid. But you can understand that this is a pretty significant amount of money that they've doled out. Tools for Humanity is venture backed. They've raised a lot of money. They had a recent round that was over $100 million. So, you know, this is a well funded project. We'll continue today's conversation from The Big Take in a moment here on Bloomberg Radio.

The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S13 E01: Horror Genre Journey: Writer, Lecturer, Producer, Novella
"Hello, welcome to The Elone Show. I'm your host, John Mayelone. In this episode, don't have any regulars, because reasons, as always. As for our guest, she is from Auburn, New York. She's a writer, lecturer, and producer in the horror genre. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Mo Mashery. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Yeah, happy to be here. Yeah. So, how's life? It's good. I'm actually about 20, 22 days post -recovery from having emergency appendectomy surgery. Oh, I love that. Yeah, so exciting. Exciting times, never a dull moment. Oh yes, indeed. Have you been up too much recently? No, just kind of still writing. Just came back fresh from StokerCon, which is basically the Oscars for horror writers. And that was my first one. So it's pre -publication date. The publication date for my book is July 5th. So we're gearing up to just promote that. And then I'll have two books coming out in 2024. So it was really about just making connections and meeting people, meeting my horror book heroes. So it was a lot of fun. Oh, very good. How long have you been an author for? Published author for the last three years. I've been writing short stories for myself and circulars and for speaking engagements for about 10 years. So it's nice to be on the other side of other people enjoying my work as opposed to just myself and a group of like 30 people. So that's been pretty good. Nice. Very good. So what brought you to become a lecturer at some point? So I am a behavioral science major, so I am a cognitive behavioral therapist. So I mostly work with PTSD in women. So when I can marry mental health and the horror genre, it's a real, real pleasure for me. So mostly what I lecture on is the trauma featured in horror cinema, mostly women's trauma in horror cinema. So I've been very, very lucky to do that with Prairie View, Texas, and I'm here in the States. I've been able to do that with University of Sheffield in the UK. And for Final Girls Film Fest in Berlin. So I've been kind of all over the map with with sharing that. And that's been it's one of my absolute favorite things to do because I love to talk horror cinema. I love to talk how horror actually can help heal us and our anxieties through the world and actually help our mental and emotional health. And really just to kind of be archival with it. I love horror from a very young age and from from very, very early on, from 40s, 50s horror to now. Any time I can talk about that as well is always a good time. So I always choose lecturing on that aspect.
Bloomberg Markets
Fresh update on "berlin" discussed on Bloomberg Markets
"We're not pretty normal correction right here i look back over the last three years and it's kind of resting you know september of twenty twenty the market was down four percent september of twenty one down five percent september of twenty two down over nine percent and all three of those instances we ended up with a pretty significant fourth quarter rally percent that's and the camp i'm really in i think we're about to go into earnings and i think new uh... high for the year in the fourth quarter home so what drives earnings i mean is is the consumer still the strength i think the consumer is holding better up tremendously than anyone expected to coming into this year uh... i think there's a lot of headwinds for the consumer right here in the short run i mean look at oil we're hitting a two -week high as we speak we have the student loans coming back online here this month which going is to pull some money right out of the economy and inflation is still pretty hot so the the consumer is definitely in my mind in a cool off a little bit but still maintain a presence out there so what are parts of the market that you guys like right here bread you if think we've got a this market moving higher how are you guys kind of playing it well i think i think the uh some of the large cap tech stuff is uh i mean it's had a nice pullback here um it's actually as of yesterday had a went into correction territory with a 10 correction and we are looking a little bit in some of those areas but mainly we're looking at the small cap index oh nice you know the yeah there's a lot of value out there i think you know the average o 'clock right now in the russell 2000 is uh you know 30 % off it's 52 week we caught and i think that's the area that we're really focused on right there all right one names of the uh that i know you guys like floor and decor fnd uh symbol what you call their for the course of uh... just one the of best retailers out there in the market i mean think their stock prices really is proving that um over the last decade they have compounded all revenue and earnings at over thirty percent and going forward we expect the next decade to be close to twenty to twenty five percent as well but they have around two hundred stores and they are the largest wood floor supplier out there they sell more than anybody uh... you know the the tile and wood flooring areas are very fragmented with mom and pops out there and they're going in they're having very thin margins they go in they spend about eight million dollars to open a store in these fragmented market areas and taking they're just market share not only from Home Depot and Lowe's but they're putting the mom and pops out of business very much like Home Depot did in the early eighties I didn't about even know this company floor and decor you gotta have it right? FMD. Nine and a half billion dollar market cap company is up twenty seven percent year -to -date. Another one that you like is alarm .com it provides interactive security Did I take that public? Did you take that public? For home and business owners? You can put a .com on there and I just want to check. Okay, So, Software as a Service it's a SaaS company. It's what the new kids are doing but it's been called a monopoly by Honeywell and I don't think you could get more compliment than that, could you? It's a beautiful compliment no doubt about it. Again, under the radar, small cap, mid -cap company however you want to frame it. Three billion dollar company. Right, so I mean they're just dominant. We call this a moat company if you look how they distribute. So if you think about the security market is super fragmented out there as well with a lot of smaller regional firms, but really alarm .com is the background of all these security companies. So when you pull up your app it may say XYZ security company but it's alarm .com that's really running that. And not only do they do the SaaS service but they do provide products as well. Are there parts of the market you feel more comfortable with right now? I mean you mentioned small caps I mean are you in the point where you're kind of trying to look for maybe some some of these names that maybe are not as well known like and a floor decor. It looks like you like fragmented markets where somebody can go ahead and take a big share. I do like that I'm not going to disagree. We like companies with some good moats around them. I think look I think we're hitting a probably I think the longer end of the yield curve has moved very quickly up here. It's put a lot of pressure on these markets. really It's spooking the market right here. We've got some inflation numbers coming out on Friday. The I think that's one of Powell's favorites. Yep. Indicators when looks he at that I'm focused on the core. We're expecting to come in at point two. We also have all of October inflation data to come out and I think that we're going to switch away from whether government the Dutch shut down stuff which we will navigate through that. I'm pretty comfortable with that. We've got a strike going on. We've got oil hitting. I think oil is peaking out right here. I think the Treasury yields are peaking out right here. I think the dollar is peaking out right here. And I think all these trends are going to reverse here in the short run leading to a massive rally going into the end of the year. Ooh, I like to hear that because I would say that, as you can probably imagine, the feeling out there is really kind of gloomy in the context of The SPX is higher this year, but the sense out there is more gloom, it feels like. You know, I love that sentiment right here. It makes me feel more comfortable in the new bull market. bull And this market started back in October of 2022, and we rallied up 27 from the lows there. I'll give you a really good stat for your listeners. There's no time the prevailing index in history has ever rallied 25 % straight off a low, and that not be the low set in for the new cycle. so And going forward, I believe we're in a new bull market and I think we're just in a normal correction right here going into the seasonality of September. And plus, you have those rates and like I said, oil and the dollar pushing up. Brett, are you based in Tallahassee? We are based in Tallahassee. So I have to ask Is Florida State back? Florida State is back. Let it be heard. We have an incredible coach. Norvell is doing a wonderful job with the team. He's doing excellent with recruiting. We just have a good makeup going on right now with Florida State football. man, Yeah, it seems like you guys for such a long time, you and University of Florida and Miami at the same time, none of those Florida kids got out of the state. But so I guess the challenge for anybody is to kind of keep that talent in state, right? That's right. That's right. And there's a lot of competition. A lot of coaches fly down to recruiting, no doubt about it. So speaking of just Florida in general, everybody has left New York. Matt and I are the only left. ones I mean, are people still coming down to Florida? Is Tallahassee, how's the economy down there in Tallahassee? The economy is excellent here in Tallahassee, Florida, just as it is all over Florida. Employment rates, one of the lowest in the country. Yes, housing is through the roof. are People moving here still in Groves. And believe it or not, Tallahassee is picking up some of the transplants from around the country. There's zero inventory. I mean, there's just the lowest inventory I've ever seen in real estate in Florida right now. And I guess the call is you guys don't pay state taxes down there. We do not. We are very blessed. Why don't we have that? Yeah. Why don't we have that? Yeah. I mean, we're getting taxed through the nose. All right, Brett, thanks so much for joining us. We appreciate it. I guess it's for all the snow removal that we have here that they don't have. I pay more taxes here than I did living in Berlin, in Germany.
Epicenter
A highlight from Marko Baricevic: Cosmos SDK - The Internet of Appchains
"Welcome Epicenter, to the show which talks about the technologies, projects, and people driving decentralization and the blockchain revolution. I'm Felix and I'm here with Mihai Roy. Today we're speaking with Marko Bericevic, who is the product lead of the Cosmos SDK. Cosmos SDK is a framework to build application -specific blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem. I'm Marko and welcome to Epicenter. Hey, thanks for having me. It's definitely an honor being on the show that I've been listening to for so many years. Yeah, we're super glad to have you as such a long -term contributor to the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond. So yeah, we're very excited to hear today about the Cosmos ecosystem, but as usual, we get started a little bit with your background and in crypto and how you got started and what brought you to where you are today. Yeah, I had a bit of a different entrance into crypto. Actually like during the 2017 ICO boom, a bunch of friends of mine were making a bunch of money and before that I read about Bitcoin, but never got fully into it. They're making a bunch of money and for some reason for me, I wasn't like, oh, I'm going to go make a bunch of money. I was like, I want to learn how this stuff works and why it is decentralized. And around that time is when I started to really dive deep into learning how to code. And then soon after that, I joined a enterprise blockchain company and that was a lot of fun. We were using Quorum from JP Morgan and writing a lot of smart contracts, writing a lot of tooling around that had a couple of fun projects. I find that consultancies are a lot like hackathons. Like every two, three months you have to develop a product and they just give you the specs of the product and you just have to write code. So it was a lot of fun. Learned a lot. And then I ran across a, like one of the senior engineers at the enterprise consultancy showed me a video of Ethan Buckman and Jake Kwan talking about the Tendermint and the Cosmos SDK at a Bitcoin meetup in like SF and I just remember becoming so enamored by it. And I was just like, I don't care where in the world this is. I just want to work with these people. And then a couple of months later I found out that they're actually, they have a team based in Berlin. And so I applied and then it took a bit of persistence. And four months later I joined All in Bits or Tendermint Inc. And the rest is history. I started out as a developer relations engineer and worked as an engineer on Tendermint for two years and then came back up to the Cosmos SDK. Right. Yeah. Awesome. So this is like you getting started. What year is this? I joined 2019. So like two months after the Hub launch, after the Cosmos Hub launch. And then I guess, yeah, now you're familiarized with Tendermint and you started to work on the Cosmos SDK, which we're here to talk about today and maybe for the listeners, right? Like you can explain a little bit on a very high level what the Cosmos SDK is and maybe how it has moved through the history since I think it's right. It's probably like the most integral part of Cosmos ecosystem in some way, right? So it really helps to get some context. The Cosmos SDK, like Tendermint, has had a few teams working on it. The Cosmos SDK, I think, were on the third team. So initially it was written by the team at All in Bits, which included Alex Bez, Rigel, Aditya, Dave, Sunny, Jack, Samplin, Zaki, like they were all involved. But back then it was a lot different than it is today. Like it was kind of all there was back then was forking Bitcoin, forking GATT, and then early days of Substrate and the Cosmos SDK. And that was really it. There wasn't much out there in the ecosystem, so there wasn't much user feedback. And then when Cosmos went through what we describe as like Gore 2020, the great organizational restructuring, we kind of like shifted and moved into a new team, Rigel Network, and they became the sole owners and maintainers of the Cosmos SDK. And they led it for about two to three years. And then I came in to kind of like the Cosmos SDK has this thing of it's very hard to hire a project manager because you get burnt out really fast because you have to deal with an entire ecosystem of people complaining, people asking for features, people wanting different designs, and it's just constantly like a feedback loop now, more so than it was before. But not only that is you have to also keep up with what's going on in the wider blockchain ecosystem. So it's like a certain balance to strike and there's a few people that attempted it and then kind of just gave up, you know, just too much work and too much overhead and too much craziness. I like to attribute my like not being able to be burnt out to Zucky and Jack just because they also just like constantly work. And so I learned that from them, but yeah, so came into the Cosmos SDK, started leading it alongside Regen. And then this year the entire like maintenance of the Cosmos SDK shifted to a new entity, Binary Builders, which the core focus of that entity is the Cosmos SDK and the builders program, the Energy and Builders program. So I guess maybe we can, you know, get into like what is the Cosmos SDK as well. So I guess most people are familiar with the notion of the smart contracts and Ethereum and you are building your application, you're building a smart contract. Now the Cosmos SDK is essentially the first or like one of the first like frameworks to build application specific blockchains. And that's become like much more popular nowadays, this sort of paradigm, which we'll also get into. But I guess at the start, maybe we can just dive into why, why is that, right? Why is, what's the benefit over having your own Cosmos chain in this case over like just writing a smart contract? So I mean, there's always this like dilemma of the single computer to rule the world where we all have to share computation versus like owning your own computation and then maybe posting data on this one world computer. And so the AppChain vision came from the need that, Hey, like we, well, first of all, the Cosmos SDK kind of came from like, Hey, we're building the Cosmos sub and we have this vision of AppChains and what better is it to like develop a software development kit, an SDK to allow people to build AppChains and this became, this was kind of like the early on vision and the Cosmos SDK, okay, now you can control your own computation. You can do a lot more things than you could in the Ethereum space or in other spaces because you control, you have a lot more granular control over your gas, your computation and over your logic as well. And so this really fed into, Oh, like we can really develop what we want to not be limited. And this is like when we had the like Cosmos summer, I believe it was like last summer or two summers ago, and we saw a lot of application specific chains coming up to Cosmos and kind of like really honing in on specific use cases for the application blockchain. Then I would say like people started discovering that like, Hey, it's actually a lot harder to get product market fit because everyone like in crypto, we have this like craze of like VCs come in, there's a lot of money and you launch a token, okay, now you have runway. Now you have X amount of years to figure out your product market fit. And a lot of people were kind of like going with that. And I think not only in Cosmos, but in the wider ecosystem. And then it all of a sudden shifted to like, okay, now we have to go. Now I believe that we are going into a world where we have to have a PMF before you launch your chain. Otherwise it's just going to be kind of a empty chain, no blocks and so on. But today it's like a, the SDK really like the sole purpose that by default it is able to do is like a application blockchain application specific blockchain. And for this, like everyone thinks that Cosmos SDK is like, this is all you can do, but we are kind of like shifting into the roll -up space and it's like kind of a like, why would we want to like shift away from blockchains into the roll -up space? Well it's like, if you look at the blowing a smart contract, like a smart contract is an amazing way to really go to market really fast and search for your product market fit. And it's very easy. You can deploy different ecosystems, you can partner with these ecosystems and so on. And then like, if we put that on a scale of zero through 10, let's say smart contracts are the easiest. It's like a zero, you can deploy it same day, launch your, launch your product and you don't have to worry about inflation, validators and so on. And let's say deploying your own blockchain is like eight to 10 because you have to now control a binary, you have to control your validator set, you have to work with them, you have to claim centralization, you have to work through governance and all these things. It is very difficult. It's not a easy endeavor to take on. And we have been fortunate enough that a lot of people in Cosmos have taken this endeavor on and learned, and we've been able to take that knowledge and give it to newcomers. But the problem is like, what is that in between? And that in between I'm kind of coming to the conclusion that it's kind of the rollups. So you have like the two, four, six, eight of the rollups from decentralized to shared sequencing to decentralized sequencing and that kind of like fills up. So it's like now all of a sudden it's like you deploy a smart contract, you're gaining a bit more adoption, but you don't know if you want to invest all this money into developing your own chain and doing a whole migration. So let's do a centralized rollup if you don't need the decentralization part. And then you start wanting to expand your product, then you go into the decentralized sequencing and then all of a sudden you're like, okay, wait, actually like we are seeing that we're paying a lot of fees to these different protocols for data availability and settlement. Now it's time that like, okay, maybe we own this for ourselves because our token may have a lot of value, a large market cap, and so then let's go to our own chain. And so I'm kind of seeing that as the direction that people are starting to go. And I think DYDX is kind of the perfect example of that. That's really interesting. Do you think that if the future customer journey is, is going to look more like DYDX, started off in a smart contract on Ethereum, then went to an LDO or a rollup in this case, Startmet. And then the third step to come in a couple of months, maybe is their own Cosmos chain. Do you think there's a, there's a risk that the Cosmos SDK is developing the application chain development framework, but it doesn't really have like a rollup development framework and ecosystem today that by default people will go and develop in the, their rollups with the Ethereum stack and then jumping from a rollup, working on the Ethereum stack to Cosmos SDK will just prove so much of a big software development challenge that nobody will actually go into the Cosmos SDK stack in the future at all, but rather some other stack will. So in this sense, we are like shifting a bit. So the idea, so we're working very closely with the Rollkit team from Celestia and teams like Dimension, and the goal there is that in the ideal world, so now we're doing it some refactors of the core layer, in an ideal world, the user will potentially, let's say a user developed a smart contract on Ethereum, now they want to still settle and do DA on Ethereum, they can use Rollkit with SDK, let's say with Polaris or Ethermint, and then they just migrate their contracts. They have the same UX, the users don't know there's a difference. And then in the future, the goal is that they can swap Rollkit out for Comet or different consensus engine, and then the actual state machine will be able to stay the same. And so this is kind of the direction we're going with the user journey we're trying to create. And so, yeah, we're working, we were just talking before, before the call, but we're just talking about fraud proofs and validity proofs and how like Cosmos plans to take advantage, enter into that world. And so we're working quite closely with the Celestia and Rollkit team in order to really dive into fraud proofs, first of all, and then later on validity proofs. That's super awesome, and I think we're going to go much back into it. I think maybe we can take it a step back also, because most people that listen to this probably don't really have a good view of like how the Cosmos SDK is structured. So maybe we can talk a little bit about, you know, like one of the core concepts in my view, right in the Cosmos SDK is this idea of the modules, right? You have like these sort of swappable features that you can kind of plug into your chain, or you build a new module that, that kind of can be used by the rest of the Cosmos SDK in your custom. So can you talk a little bit about that? What sort of modules are there? Warren is first being built. So like the SDK and the direction that we've been trying to articulate it to users and new users coming in is it is a separation between the kernel space and the user space. And when I say the kernel space, this is like where the modules live. And so the thing why we consider it the kernel space is because you can handle a lot more computation at this level. The functionality GAS is a lot more freeing and it's not limiting like you would have in a virtual machine. And so some of the modules are like staking governance, bank, some like authorization modules you have slashing, minting, distribution, kind of like these basic things. And these things they do and they do go by themselves in terms of like they don't need external intervention to it in order to like mint a bunch of tokens and everything. So they do handle a bit more computation. And so when users come to the Cosmos SDK, it's like, hey, like a lot of users are using VMs and we're totally fine with that. Then we encourage people to use VMs, especially if they're going into permissionless environment that they just want users to deploy like Juno and AVMOS and others. But like the kernel space is really where the application has the most performance, but also has the ability to do a lot more computation for the functionality they maybe want to do from the VM. So maybe the VM calls into the user space, so the VM calls into the kernel space, the modules, and then they are able to do a lot more, a lot more things there. So what can you like expand on, like what some of these things might be? I think like some of the things that like a VM would be limited by? So like within a VM, it's like you are gas metered. So you consume gas on every functionality, all the functionality, all the business logic. And so you don't want users to do a lot because it is potentially a permissionless environment. And so allowing people to have kind of unlimited computation is a DOS vector. And so within the modules, within the kernel space, like that's more of the application developer needs to, they need to propose an upgrade, and then the upgrade needs to be adopted by validators. And so it's a lot more of a involved process. And so here the computation is only around IO, around the disk. And so once you're doing computation, like let's say if you're doing some proving or capabilities, if you're doing some bridging technology, within a VM, you have to do gas metering on the actual computation of the proving of the hashing and so on, while within the Cosmos SDK, within the kernel space, that is a lot more freeing. And so you can do it, and then that won't affect your entire block gas consumption. And a lot of people may think that like, oh, this is a DOS vector, but if it does end up in some sort of chain, of the chain slowing down, then it is actually the application chain, it was application developer's fault because they did this premeditated computation in their chain before, and it wasn't like an end user just like causing this a lot, causing this amount of computation to slow down the chain. Right. I think one example here actually, I guess it's sort of this reward distribution on osmosis, right, where it actually, like we have these epochs and then at the boundary, you need to compute a lot how, where the LP rewards go to. And this, for example, can slow down the chain just so we have an example. Exactly. Like the interesting thing there is, so there is like this thing in the Cosmos SDK called begin block and end block. And what these really signify is at the beginning of every block, at the state machine executes the transactions, what computation do you want to run before that? And then end block does the same thing just after the execution of the transactions. And so within this, like in osmosis case, they are doing a lot of computation for the LPs of the pools. And so that is like causing a lot of, causing the chain, the state machine to kind of slow down a bit. But this is known, it's like as more users come in, it's just like, I think it's now that the chain kind of just like stops, everyone's doing computation. And then once everyone's done with computation, it continues as normal.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from Trump Mugshot Merchandise? with Rudy Giuliani and Kane
"We are representing a second whistleblower from the FBI, Marcus Allen. Due to whistleblower retaliation by the FBI, I've been suspended without pay for over a year. Because of you, ACLJ donors, you get the best attorneys in the world. Hey, everybody found the Charlie Kirk show. Rudy Giuliani and Citizen Kane join us. Rudy Giuliani is going through a tough time right now. We have to back him. Email us your thoughts as always freedom at charliekirk .com and subscribe to our podcast and get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. We have a tendency on this show to ignore all the chatter from the Vichy French Republicans. When somebody is under attack unjustly, they always have a place on the Charlie Kirk show. We've done this over the last couple of weeks, especially, and we're going to keep on doing this. And America's mayor, a decent man, an honorable man, is under attack in a disgusting way. And I think we all have to rally behind Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani has done nothing wrong. Rudy Giuliani is under attack because he was loyal to Trump and loyal to the country. And he joins us now. Mayor Giuliani, thank you for taking the time. First, how are you doing? And your response now being booked in Fulton County, Georgia. Well, thank you very much, Charlie, for that introduction. And I respect you for doing this, not only for me, but for all of the other people that are unjustly charged who maybe don't get as much attention. I have the benefit of getting a great deal of attention for what's been done to me. I have tremendous experience in this area, and I've been through far worse than this. There are a lot of people going through it for the first time, and it's terrible. But it's almost impossible to describe if you were brought up like a normal American. I wake up mornings thinking I'm not in America. I wake up mornings thinking I'm in what used to be described as the Soviet Union or East Berlin or maybe even Nazi Germany. The idea that people can be charged based on politics, even if you just posit the following. Right now, we have under indictment based on the indictments of four different Democrat district attorneys, all very questionable different attorneys. The strongest and most powerful candidate of the opposition party for president, who was the prior president. Now, that never happened in America before because we're a democracy and a country of laws. It does happen in communist countries, fascist countries, Nazi countries and totalitarian states. If that doesn't frighten the hell out of us, nothing will. So, Rudy, walk us through, I mean, you in a different time, you were one of the top prosecutors on the planet going after actual RICO cases, actual gangsters. And for doing nothing wrong now, they are coming after you for the same sort of similar charge that you once prosecuted. They don't know RICO if it hit him across the face. No, they don't. I mean, they've made unbelievable errors. I wish that the professor who wrote this, Professor Blakey, could be here because I think he'd give him an F minus. You know, missing from the RICO case is the extortion. People say, well, is it organized crime? And actually, it's crime by a very large organization over a very long period of time that has at the core of it very serious extortion. For example, if Trump had called the AG and said, get me 11000 votes, which, by the way, the president meant out of the 200000 that you and I know was stolen. And I know that for a fact, because that AG had sitting in his desk a report that he was hiding that virtually says that. Now, nobody tells you that, but it came out eight months, eight months later with a John Solomon request. FOIA But in any event, it would have to have been magic words there, words like, if you don't do it, I'm going to break your legs. If you don't do it, I'm going to shoot your wife. Those are the cases I prosecuted, not cases where people are persuading, people are debating, people are even arguing. We're all entitled to do that because of the First Amendment. What we're not entitled to do is to threaten harm and we're actually entitled to threaten harm as long as we don't have the means to carry it out. But we didn't even get to that stage. So this is a ridiculous RICO case. It's a ridiculous case to start with. And the worst part of it is it's a frontal attack on the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. It will deter other people from contesting elections that may very well have been stolen from them. And the only way they're going to find out is to go to court and aggressively argue their position. And this is in order to ensure a single party state. That's exactly right, Mr. Mayor. So I need to ask you, do you think that part of the reason they went so wide on the RICO is to try to get you to turn against Donald Trump in a multilevel kind of gangster type indictment? Do you think that's what they're trying to do here, Mr. Mayor? Yeah, I mean, they could get me to turn on Donald Trump and Donald Trump would turn out to be innocent. I mean, people say to me, are you going to cooperate? I'm happy to cooperate. I don't know a single damn thing that suggested Donald Trump committed a crime. You want me to tell you what happened? I'd be happy to tell you what happened. And look, I've already, Charlie, gone through my house being raided, my iCloud account taken for three years and spied on. And the day they took my iCloud account was the first day that I represented Donald Trump. And the day they gave it up was the day that I stopped representing him. So they took it in order to spy on Donald Trump. And then about eight months ago, they wrote a letter to the grand jury after costing me three or four million dollars in my law practice that there's no evidence over 20 years that I committed a crime. And then this Fannie Willis comes up with this garbage in Atlanta, which is me being a lawyer as well as Professor Eastman and the others. We were acting as lawyers. I mean, you used to think you got some protection for that. But Donald Trump has no First Amendment rights. Donald Trump has no right to counsel. I mean, they raided my law office. When I was a prosecutor, which I did a lot better than they ever did, I never raided a lawyer's office. Yeah, and I had lawyers representing the mafia, terrorists, Nazis. I had a lot better reason to do it than in an election dispute. So this is an assault on our Constitution. No one is exaggerating. And the president certainly isn't. When he says to people, it is very likely this administration continues. This can happen to you. So, Rudy, you're going to have to defend yourself. And in this particular venue, how can people help you with your legal fees and the costs associated with that? I'll get for you the exact place. But we have a legal defense fund, which they can help out with. It'll allow us not only to defend ourselves, but to become more aggressive and to go after them and try to get the information that they have. Because the strange thing is, Charlie, the crimes being committed here are being committed by them. I mean, this is Chapter 7. This is Chapter 7 in a book that begins with a Russian collusion. So that book has a conclusion, right? That conclusion is Democrats lying, Trump, Giuliani, Republicans telling the truth. And then there's another book, Improper Conversation with Ukrainian President Leading to Impeachment. That has a conclusion also. Democrats lying, particularly shifty -shift, Trump, Giuliani, Republicans telling the truth. Then we got the hard drive for which, if you go back and pick out the last debate, you see Biden accusing us, the president and I, of being Russian pawned. In fact, he calls me specifically, Rudy Giuliani, a Russian pawn. Well, that ends up 16 months later with Democrats and Biden lying, Trump, Giuliani and Republicans telling the truth. Now, I go on and on. There's no reason to believe that these aren't going to end up the same way. The sides didn't change here. I mean, the lifetime criminals, the Biden crime family didn't all of a sudden change and become honest. Believe me. If you could get that link or whatever for us so that we could promote it. I'll get the link for you. OK. Yeah. I just want to reiterate here on The Charlie Kirk Show, we are proud to be a place of political asylum. If you're under attack, you're going through a crisis and you're a good person. You are welcome on this program. Most of the Vichy French media run away. Oh, we don't want Rudy. We don't want that's not what we do here. One of the reasons why the left is taking over the country is we turn our back on our own far too easily. We're here to change that. Rudy Giuliani has done great service to this country and he is welcome anytime.
Bankless
A highlight from ROLLUP: Friend.Tech | SBF to Jail | SEC vs Coinbase
"Now, Ethereum is going to become Uber. Now, Ethereum is going to become decentralized Twitter. And it just never seemed to kind of click for me. We made some progress. We did episodes like Farcaster, for example, and Len cautiously excited about those and bullish on those when I when I started seeing them. But the question is always, how do we get mass adoption? Friend .tech and this experiment again, I'm not saying it's going to be friend .tech guys. OK, don't hear me. This is a this is a POC. OK, this experiment showed me how it can work in the same way that CryptoKitties showed me how NFT is going to work. Bankless Nation, happy third Friday of August. David, what time is it? It's the Bankless Friday weekly roll up where we cover the entire weekly news in crypto, which is always an ambitious never yet. We persevered nonetheless into the frontier. How are you doing, Ryan? I'm doing fantastic. I'm excited to talk about friends, how you sell your friends this week, because that's what you've been doing. How to monetize friends. Yeah, and then you sold them right after it. That's right. That's topic number one. It's this app called friend .tech that hit, I think, Friday after we recorded the last roll up and everyone on crypto. Twitter was using it. I used it. It's kind of interesting. We're going to talk about that. Number one, friend .tech, this new app. Is it a fad or is it a new paradigm? What else we got, David? Coming up next, we got SEC back in the hot seat after six law professors, A16Z and Paradigm, who both employ lawyers. All voice their disbelief about how the SEC ought to approach crypto and proposes something new in lieu of that. Also, SPF is on the move. It seems like, David, you might now be neighbors with Sam Bankman freed. That's exactly right. This is a factual statement. After that, we're talking about PayPal, Visa all making moves into crypto this week. And then Coinbase futures, Coinbase getting some futures. What does this mean? How is this changing Coinbase's international strategy? If they are allowed to roll their own futures here at home. All of this is coming up as we get into this episode. So make sure to like, subscribe, rate and review wherever you get your podcast so we can get the good gospel of crypto to the top of these iTunes charts or Spotify charts or YouTube, wherever there's an algorithm. Give us a five star review so we can push it up to the top. Guys, before we get in, want to tell you about our friends and sponsors over at Safe. They have a message for you. Safe, of course, is the wallet that everyone in crypto uses. It's one that I certainly recommend. David, what are they rolling out? Yeah, so Safe is proposing their modular open source safe core protocol as the standard way to move forward for the wallet transition to smart contract wallets. If y 'all ever caught my talk at DevCon, there's just universal consensus in the world of wallets and the world of Ethereum that we are going to all have smart contract wallets by default. But that is not the way things currently are. That is the future that we are trying to get there. Safe, like I said, is proposing their safe core protocol as the standard. And so they want you to check it out. It features an unopinionated core standard as vendor agnostic, high component reuse and robust security. This is how we prevent bugs, while also maintaining interoperability and smart account diversity. So there is a link in the show notes to get started with safe core. If you are a dev, they also have a safe con coming up in Berlin, Germany. So if you are in around Germany or around the European area, they are doing a safe con in September. So check out the link in the show notes to get started. Con as in conference, by the way. All right. Not not con as in like a con job. Oh, God, I hate that we have to specify this. What is this industry? Well, this is crypto, David. Let me introduce you. There have been some cons in crypto. Yes, they're in this agenda, actually. Multiple we have multiple cons in this agenda. One of them is living down the street from you, as you just said. And one of them is a conference.

That's the show prep you guys miss out on. Guys, what would a big boy crypto, home of the big boy, the largest and greatest crypto community in all of the Interwebs? No channel works harder to keep you in the know about crypto. Someone says, Richard Hart, wannabe boy? Excuse me. Excuse me. I do not have a Burberry bonnet. Do not have a Burberry bonnet. Yet. Yet. It's on the way. We love Burberry. We love bonnets. I can't believe it's not butter. Okay, so, what am I talking about? My name is Bill. We come to you live every single day at 1130 a .m. Eastern Standard Time. Didn't even—big announcement. Didn't even need anybody to do the intro for me. I was here on time. I was ready though. You were ready. Tim boy crypto is always ready. I call him Tiny Tim Crypto. Tiny Tim Crypto. Tiny Tim Crypto. Yeah. Tiny Tim Crypto. So, guys, the purple looked better. People are asking for the purple? Oh, no, it's because it's saying salon. Oh, royalty. Let's go back to purple. They think I'm the king. They tell me I'm the king. Look at that, guys. I'm the king. Here we are. Guys, don't forget to smash that like button. Number one thing you can do as a member of the BitSquad, if you're in BitNation, make sure to smash it. Look at that. Do we put different shirts on this guy all the time? That's smart. I just noticed that today. What about on my monkey? Does he get a different shirt? Yeah, again, if you change the color of the shirt, we're like Madonna. Because, you know, do you know about Madonna? About her bored ape? Do you not know about it? I did not know she did. Do you know about it, Drew? Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. First of all, what is this doing up here? Mmm. Johnny. The cats are in the office, so. Johnny, hide your trash. Hide your trash. Johnny, come up here and get your trash. Unbelievable. Get your trash, Johnny. Thank you, Johnny. Thank you. God. Monkeys? Okay. Mice? No good. We'll see. We definitely should have put a poll up. How many of you guys, when you use a computer, prefer the trackpad using Apple or a mouse? It's not a reliable poll, because a lot of people are dumb. Trackpad is far superior. When you understand how to use this, like a pro, you cannot do better. You cannot do better. Oh, here. You can't do better than a trackpad when you know how to use it. And when you don't know how to use it, when you're low IQ, you like a mouse. I get it. Technical analysis is borderline impossible using a trackpad. Absolutely not. High level. High level technical. Absolutely not. Kelly, what are your thoughts? Trackpad, mouse, TA. Mouth only. I'm telling you. These people are monsters. They're monsters. They're monsters. That's why I call them Tiny Tim. And that's why, well, Kelly's over there. I don't even call Kelly anything because he's just Kelly. Like I don't even, you know, he's irrelevant to me at this point. No, we love Kelly. He's coming on the show later. So I gotta be nice to him. Hey. What's the poll? Everybody's saying mouse, right click it? Yeah. Guys, it's because you're just not experts with a trackpad. When you understand the expertise of the trackpad, you will definitely move over to it. Now, what were we talking about? Bro, try playing counter. Okay, gaming, I get. I understand gaming. I understand gaming. I will give you that. What were we talking about? I lost my train of thought. Madonna. Madonna. Madonna. We love talking about Madonna. Madonna, thank you. We love talking about Madonna. Madonna Borde. This is so stupid what she did. It's so unbelievably dumb. Okay, so. You remember that NFT video? Oh, I do remember that. Not flashbacks. Let's not show that. Okay. That was terrifying. Yeah. Okay. Here it was. Wait. This is it, I think. I think that's it. Let me click images. Hmm. It's this one. Here it is. Okay, so. Here is the actual. I think this is the actual ape right here. Okay? Do you guys see it? This is the actual ape. Now, you can't really see it. Oh, here we go. You see it right here. Now, notice a couple things about it. Cigarette and background. She changed it. She literally changed her NFT. She got rid of the cigarette because it promotes smoking, and she changed the background. And this is what she put out. Madonna. It's just a scared monkey now. Madonna, that's not your NFT. That's not your NFT. That's not it. You can't change the characteristics of your NFT, and it'll still be the original NFT. Now, you can brand it, and then you could do stuff with the branding of your monkey, but that's not your NFT. I'm sorry, Madonna. I guess when it comes to these NFTs, she's like a virgin. What can I say? Don't cry for me. Don't cry for me. Okay. I can. She needs help. She needs help. Madonna. Madonna needs help. You know, she needs help. We got to say a little prayer. A little prayer. A little prayer for Madonna. It's another Madonna song. I don't know that much about Madonna. Well, it's because you're not like into like worldly things. You're not into worldly things. It's true. You're not a material girl, Tim. I'm not. There we go. Okay. Boom. That was a good one. You got a bit. That was good. That was good. That was good. Where do I come up with this stuff? I don't know. I guess I just, it's because I'm fashionable. I'm in Vogue. Okay. You just can't stop. Guys, I'm a secret. I'm a closet Madonna fan. I'm a closet Madonna fan. Like, I'm not going to rock Madonna on the radio when I'm driving around in the Lambo, but only because I'd be embarrassed. That's fine. I do love Madonna. I'll tell you this. My favorite halftime show of all time next to obviously the number one of all time, nothing touches it. Anybody know what it is? No. Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Eminem. Okay. That, yeah. A lot of people like Prince. A lot of people like Prince. The Prince one goes over there too, but like, I was, Prince, like, you know, purple rain, purple rain, purple rain, because I could have been a singer. Yeah. This purple inspired me. A lot of people like the Prince one, but my favorite halftime show ever was the Madonna one. I really loved the Madonna one. Actually. I really did like it. It was great. The Who. I don't know about the Who. I don't know about the Who. Let's see what other people. Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Yeah. I really liked that one. That wardrobe malfunction one was fun. Oh, the JT and Janet. Was that planned? It was planned, obviously. Obviously it was planned. She had a thing on. Yeah. Obviously it was planned. It was intense. Oh. Hey, my wife is here. Hang on. Hon, Ria is here. That's Ria. Ria's here. I just made an introduction from behind the camera, in front of the camera. It was amazing. Okay. All right. So, guys, let's get going on the show. Should we do the show today? We should do some form of a show. But before we do the show, if that buzzer ever stops working, I need one from my desk too. Okay. Can we get a new one? Probably. Where's my guy who made that one? A lot of people like Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars one was okay. Pregnant Rihanna. Not because she was pregnant, but I'm just not a Rihanna fan. I've never really been in love with Rihanna. I don't know why people are so. It's a strange show. Yeah. People like Snoop Cat. Snoop Cat. Snoop Cat? You do halftime show after 9 -11. What was that? Was it Bruce Springsteen probably or something? I don't remember that one. I'll look it up. Shakira. Shakira was pretty good. I like Shakira. I think the worst one was probably where they had Britney Spears, NSYNC, I think Aerosmith may have been involved in there. They had like Nelly was there. They liked too much. It was too much one year. Looks like U2 did the one after 9 -11. U2. Okay. U2. Well, I don't like U2. Okay. I've been in a few Super Bowls. So I saw the Snoop one. I was there for that one. And then how many Super Bowls have I been to? Two? Or no, I've been to three because I went to the one I forgot about, Falcon Super Bowl. Lady Gaga was a halftime show of that. So that's a great question, TC. That's a great question. I don't know what to do about that. I don't know what to do about that. Well, I think we were going to go to Berlin and say, we need to talk about this today. We're going to talk about all this today. Okay. People are asking. People are wanting me to come to Germany. Finally, The Rock has come back to Germany. The other one I saw was The Weeknd, The Weeknd, which the halftime show, The Weeknd halftime show was meh. The real life concert of The Weeknd was awesome. So there we go. Win Winnipeg? You want to do this, Winnipeg? Winnipeg, you want to do this? Winnipeg, do you want to do this right now? Look, Winnipeg. People in Winnipeg are great. Love Winnipeg people. Love, love people from Winnipeg. So great. Y 'all stole our freaking hockey team. I'm sorry. I'm not coming. Y 'all stole our hockey team. And what have you done with it? What have you done with it, Winnipeg? Yeah. Y 'all got Winnipeg. We got Winnipeg. Here. That's how it felt. You took our team. Did the Atlanta team move to Winnipeg? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Several years ago. You know what killed our hockey team was Danny Heatley. Danny Heatley was on the cover of NHL like 2001, whatever year it was. He was supposed to be the greatest hockey, the next Wayne Gretzky, and he came here, and he came here in Atlanta. He was a rookie, I think, or a second year maybe, and he was drunk, driving I believe it was a Ferrari and crashed and killed the guy in the passenger seat, which was another guy on the hockey team, and then we had to ship him out of here. So that was the beginning of the downfall of Atlanta. Very sad story. And, no, we had the Flames earlier in the 70s. I wouldn't lie for that. I don't know. But we love the Thrashers. Thrashers were great. But we miss them. Cobalt Chuck, you stole him from us. Saints Falcons meet up in New Orleans. We'll see. I like going to New Orleans. So, here's, here, we made this incredible video, incredible video. Where is it? Here it is. Well, let's go to the, let's go to videos here.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ricky Skaggs (Encore Continued)
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show with your host, Eric Metaxas. Hey, folks. I'm talking to Ricky Skaggs. Seriously, look, he's right here. Ricky, welcome. I'm so happy you could be with us in the studio with your mandolin, with or without your mandolin, but even better with your mandolin. I want to talk to you a little bit about your faith. And you grew up, obviously you said your father would set you up on the pulpit when you were like five. So you grew up very much in the church. I did. Foot washing Baptist, you know, is what we were, free will Baptist. And was it just a beautiful thing to grow up like that, you know, and, you know, preacher would get up and say, has anybody got a word or a testimony? Well, here the testimonies would start, you know. So wait, the Baptist would think that somebody could get a word? That sounds more Pentecostal. Well, it wasn't like a word of prophecy. It was like you got a word to say, or do you have something to say or give your testimony? And so these precious old women of the faith would get up and talk about their son coming to Jesus, you know, and that they'd prayed for him for years and alcoholic and God has delivered him and stuff like that, you know, and just beautiful, beautiful things, you know. And when they prayed, they all prayed together. And boy, you talk about something that will run the chills up your back is to hear, you know, 75 people in a little small wooden church, you know, just praying to God, just going after it. You know, some of the old men up at the altar just going after it, you know, with the Lord and praying, you know, all at the same time, you know, and that's the way I grew up. So you go pray in the middle of this, but, you know, a lot of people talk about, well, I grew up singing in the church, but then they go on to have kind of a secular career that's extra secular. You know, they really move away from those roots. Doesn't sound like you ever did. No, no, sir. You always believed in Jesus. Yeah. You know, there wasn't it wasn't even five minutes when you were, you know, on a crack binge or something. This is the place to confess these things. I realize, you know, I've had experiences with the Lord where, you know, Sharon and I both, you know, when we got married, you know, we both had come from from a divorced background. She didn't have any kids. I did. I had two older children, but we dedicated our lives to the Lord from that moment on when we when we got married. And I had recommitted my faith, you know, to Jesus. And I wasn't baptized when I went to the altar when I was 13 years old. I wasn't baptized after that. And not that baptized baptism saves you. Go back when you went to the altar at 13. So you at age 13. Yeah, you made a profession of faith. But I mean, I get the impression you believe before that, but that for some reason at age 13. Well, I knew that I wasn't saved. I couldn't get to heaven just because of my mom and dad's goodness. You know, God has no grandchildren in heaven. That's right. You know, and so we all come and have our own relationship with Jesus. And I knew I needed that, you know, and I knew that I needed my sins to be forgiven, you know. And but, you know, we got baptized in the Holy Spirit, you know, a few years after after we got married, we knew that there was more. We knew that it was more than just just a Baptist, you know, come to faith that that there was a you know, there was, you know, John the Baptist talked about Jesus would baptize you with water and fire, you know. And and so we always always wondered what that fire was, you know, and that we wanted we wanted, you know, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you know. And I mean, a lot of people listening don't even know what that is. And I you know, I came to faith around my 25th birthday and I pretty quickly got the whole thing. Yeah. You know, so to me, I was speaking in tongues and believing in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and all of that stuff immediately. But there are a lot of people that they think, well, that's a little odd or that's maybe extra credit Christianity. I'm not into that stuff. Well, it's I say it's the full package, but, you know, Jesus is always the full package. He brings everything with him. You know, he brings the bread and the wine when he comes to dinner. You know, in Revelation, you know, not only is he the wine and is he the bread of life, but he brings it with you with him when you when he comes in to have dinner, you know, to said, if you'll open the door to me, I'll come in and sup, you know. And so he's he's all of that, you know, and we need all of him. You know, we don't just need I don't want to I don't want to have anything hidden from the Lord because you can't you can't hide anything from the Lord. And so, you know, I just I really believe in communion, you know, with the Lord every day, you know. And there's just something about it, you know, that's very, very special. That time just to sit and have have time with the Lord, you know, and just just have communion with him, you know. Well, you I guess, you know, again, when we when we think about country music, it's a very faith friendly world. Obviously, Johnny Cash was a very serious believer in Jesus and God. And one of the things that I hated about the film, the only thing I hated about the film Walk the Line was that it completely left out how he gets pulled out of the hell of drugs and alcohol. It was Jesus. Yes, it was. And it was his wife praying for him and leading him along that and her dad. And, you know, in other words, that's that's the heart of the story, folks. If you want to know how Johnny Cash survived and lived and had a career, it's because of Jesus. And when they leave that out, I think to myself, Hollywood tends to do this. We live in a secular culture that secularizes everything. And you think that's that doesn't make any sense because you can't there is no story without that part of the story. That's right. And of course, you knew him personally, as you said earlier. So you knew this was real. I mean, I heard Billy Graham speak in in Central Park. I think it was 1990. And up on the stage, here comes Johnny Cash. And so I think a lot of people that they forget that a lot of these icons, these American icons love Jesus. And Johnny was one of them. He was. But so many I'm just fascinated by how that runs all through, you know, country music. You can't turn around without bumping into somebody who believes. And there's different, you know, different levels of belief. But I think I told you over the phone the story. I was in the Berlin Zoo in the hippo house in the Berlin Zoo. It's like I'm making this up. And this is about five, four, five years ago. And I'm looking for the hippos, can't find the hippos. And I turn around and there's a guy who thinks he's disguised standing there. But I knew who it was, and it was Chris Kristofferson standing there, this legend of legends or whatever. And anyway, I was honored to meet him. But a few days later, a friend of mine sent me Chris Kristofferson telling his story of being drugged, to use your language, being drugged into a church and having an experience with God that was so profound that he wrote that classic song, Why Me Lord, which George Jones sang about. But I mean, people need to know that a lot of these folks that they think, well, so -and -so's a legend. He knows Jesus. Yeah. Yeah, he did. And my friend Connie Smith took him to church, you know. They had a friendship and she loved his songwriting. And Connie Smith is the one who's married to Marty Stewart.

"Jewish groups and politicians have protested Pink Floyd cofounder Roger Waters concert and Frankfurt Germany on Sunday. I'm Archie Sara letta with the latest. Jewish groups are accusing Roger Waters of anti semitism, an allegation he denies, waters won a court challenge aimed at canceling the concert, which was held at the festival in Frankfurt. That's the site where more than 3000 Jews were rounded up by Nazis and sent to concentration camps in 1938. Last week, Berlin police opened an investigation into waters on suspicion of incitement.

Zelensky was asked about a Washington Post report, which said leaked U.S. documents suggested he had considered trying to capture some Russian territory to use as bargaining chips. So landscape says he's only trying to get his land back. Noting Ukraine did not attack Russian territory and is only seeking to liberate its occupied land. He says they don't have the weapons time or interest in seizing Russian land. I'm Jackie Quinn

Milton Friedman's Wise Comparison: Inflation Is Like Alcoholism
"Let's play cut 39. Great wisdom from the legendary Milton Friedman played up 39. Inflation is just like alcoholism. In both cases, when you start drinking, or when you start printing too much money. The good effects come first. The bad effects only come later. That's why in both cases, there's a strong temptation to overdo it. To drink too much and to print too much money. When it comes to the cure it's the other way around. When you stop drinking, or when you stop printing money, the bad effects come first. And the good effects only come later. That's why it's so hard to persist with the cure. Why is the west been so great? A lot of reasons. One of them is delayed gratification. We used to be a civilization in a country that believed and delayed gratification, delayed gratification from how we ate, to our exercise, and how we raised our children, to how we invested, to yes, even how we appropriated money via public policy decisions. Delayed gratification is all about leaving the next generation better off. But the temptation to retire. Delayed gratification as a core value was irresistible. The leaders in the early 1990s primarily led by baby boomers, and I know I'm gonna get a lot of emails about this. I'm not blaming every baby boomer, but this is a generational fact, okay? There was a decision made in the early 1990s to retire delayed gratification and prioritize instant gratification. And it was hard to resist that temptation. The guard was dropped after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The 90s was the tech boom. It was roaring. It was the best time to be in America. The stock market just kept on going up, wealth kept on getting created. It seemed like it seemed like boom times was going on forever. Delayed gratification when it said, hold on a second. We're not going to engage in mala investment or relaxing monetary standards. And everything changed after 9 11. And again, I'm not blaming every member of the baby boomer generation, just so happens every person who made these decisions were largely baby boomers in power. And 2001, 9 11, 2001, and the Rubicon began to get crossed.

From Isolationism to the War on Terror: America's Tumultuous Path
"Were just taking us through this is the history of American going from American isolationism into interventionism and then taking us up into the Iraq War. So keep going. So if you start with the fall of Berlin Wall, follow the Soviet Union. The U.S. now has a strange new role in the world. Here we are. We're the sole hegemon. We're the global power. How do we use that force? They went back and forth. So failed in Rwanda to intervene on time, then we're pressured to intervene places like the Balkans and Kosovo and elsewhere. This back and forth is tension. How should we what should we do? Where's our role? Well, with 9 11 came clarity in the minds of U.S. leadership. George W. Bush and the administration at the time decided, no, no, we have to respond with vigor with force. Launch the war on terror is launched with that came the 20 year old war in Afghanistan. And we have to be clear. I don't know if I've ever said it on the program. But I was always troubled by the concept of the war on terror. It just struck me as, I don't know, since I lack a better adjective, it struck me as utterly stupid, like a war on terror is like a war on poverty. What could be vaguer? And there's something offensive when you're putting American lives on the line. And you say a war on terror. What is terror? What defines when we win the war on? You know, it's one thing to fight against Hitler. But a war on terror, it was, I just feel cynically labeled so vaguely that it would be a never ending war on terror. Anyway, that's effectively what's happened, but keep going. Well, you're right to be cynical now in retrospect, and maybe we all should have been more cynical at the time. I wasn't cynical at the time. I mean, I had flags or I had questions, but I ought to have been more forceful in actually more openly cynical about it. But I was not. I was not. Those who were cynical were the Europeans, the French the Germans who had seen the same intelligence reports who had seen the same information and came to a radically different conclusion that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction was not planning to eminently annihilate the world like a global villain.

WHO fires doctor after findings of sexual misconduct
"The World Health Organization has fired a Doctor Who faced allegations of repeated sexual misconduct. In an email to The Associated Press, a WHO spokeswoman says Timo walke, a doctor from Fiji, was let go after findings of sexual misconduct and a disciplinary process. The AP first reported that walking naval had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a conference in Berlin last October, confidential documents show he had been flagged to senior directors for allegedly harassing another staffer in 2018 an incident that resulted in an informal warning while the accuser was told that pursuing an investigation might not be the best option for her. In recent years, the World Health Organization has been plagued by reports of misconduct, walk in a value denied that he had ever sexually assaulted anyone. At the time of the report he'd been preparing to run for regional director of the western Pacific and the doctor he was seeking to replace, takeshi kasai, had been placed on leave and then was terminated last month after numerous staffers accused him of racist and abusive behavior to compromise the UN health agency's mission.

This, again, these globalist murderers have for many decades been looking forward to having the technology to create a world, one world government, again, this was always the stuff of conspiracy theories until it wasn't. But what was it that drew you into this? Once the patient who was a crowned head of state still is shared with me her delighted intention to get rid of 90% of the current world population and enslave the remaining 10% to serve what she called the neo aristocrats, including herself, of course, the neo feudal aristocrats. Once she said that I began doing some research and I began finding the documents that these people have been promulgating, alleging and asserting their own right to enslave the people whom they choose to allow to survive. If you read the inscriptions on the Georgia Guidestones, which have been demolished, because I think they were getting a little bit too hot to handle. You will see basically what the plan was intended to be. And their tools I came to learn were institutions like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which originally was called the Berlin Melinda Gates institute for population reduction, and now is just the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.

That would make it inside a corporate environment thinking geno two of the very successful reason companies. Google and facebook happened nothing. We and These companies now have market gaps significantly higher than you know many traditional Companies that existed for hundred years way. And so i often wondered. You know the the large oil tankers in the see. They're not going to be electric For a long time just tech for our. Yeah they're not destroy but they cannot be sast enough deleted. Get to the next level. It seems to me that i think is absolutely correct. You know as you mentioned that The beginning of this conversation. I come from berlin. I live in berlin. I'm italian but i live in berlin in germany. We have some off those companies that you're referring to think about the automotive sector. We have Dime diamond we have Bmw we have full feigen. You know these are extremely large corporations. Volkswagen i believe has something around seven hundred thousand employees globally. So we're talking about really very large companies am. This companies produce a lot of innovations. But you would be wrong to assume that they are the ones who are producing the breakthrough combination really aren't and so you completed rights and if you look at the automotive sector just to stay with these example you'll see that electrification which is now happening of course was in spirit by any one of these large companies. It was tesla that came in this the market altogether and forced a very sort of speedy transition into this elephants which are very powerful animals. But they're still not exactly fast in moving so you're completely right about this. Yes that speed of innovation. People that ecology of technology to produce symbiosis and competition effect. The do the technology technology remains You should be using. Be approved is of technology. Knowledge is an incredibly ecological process. Been in the group of each technology domain depends on dynamics occurring in other acknowledged remains. And you say different to sorts of ecological interdependence among technology to me so so what did he bring. Ecological interdependence so the idea is quite simply de technologists are never isolated as i mentioned earlier always a combination of something that pre existed them in sweep you. Think in terms of the knowledge space May be a bit of an abstract ema but If you think in terms the knowledge base what you will observe over time is that there are some domains of technology debt compete with one another they start to overlap in terms of the resources that they use and particularly the kind of knowledge workers to attracting and some other technology domain. His own the outta hand they sort of help each other out in the sense that when an innovation happens in a full technology domain that might actually spur innovations in different technology domains. That are around it. Perhaps one example would be electrification. What we just mentioned in. Dod motive sector that is certainly not a competitive form of interdependence. The innovations that are happening around electrification. They have to potential to really create a boost in terms of innovative dynamics that may happen to motive sect So that's one example. But generally speaking i think these paper and that line of research really look said how everything is interconnected when we look at the growth of knowledge nothing is independent and the problem becomes even more.

We have taught about this Has been the passport issue. You know because sometimes they You know the the business people liked to have You know the security thing and then they they can devise it all. But i think when the movement toward a freer society is strong enough. And that's why it's what the grass roots really want the government. We get usually as the dentist with it. But i just warn people to be alert to this to not be able to say. Well you know to go to the baseball game They say i can't go. Yeah no laws laws it yesterday. The congress's okay.

He told me if i needed everything i needed. He could help me. And so on. So i really appreciate that with someone that they didn't know anything that they be so much to to be in the stadium and they were really nice to me. The city of berlin. You said means a lot you will. It's really hard to explain this a city that these really special it has had so many issues related we history. I don't know what the knac- bart then it was divided in their unification that has been solved in a way but not in the mind of the people. I have to say that. The city still divided for many of them and i e for midwest like an amazing experience because saremi cd of people from different countries for example one of my best friends in berlin. He's from afghanistan. I learn about his culture. And i will always love the city and having this account number. Lynn makes that. I'm steve connected to it. I try to to find the last news. The things of the city i to to talk about no-man's to recommend people places to go and so on so now in my in my living room we have to. Maybe that you can see. Some pictures is three from saragossa. The the other from martorell plata that this. The of my wife charging tina under one in the middle in color is from early and so is like we were in these two cities. Berlin the place where we met so it will always be special for us. That's so lovely man. That's that's really lovely. Now i understand why bullying so important. You yeah yeah we. We met working in the same company. And we i don't know we. After meeting like three or four months later we we moved to whether it was a really crazy gracie but will it didn't go that but we have been together now. Eight years or something like that and When we had the baby in two thousand eighteen one of the first thing that we said is it will have to go to berlin. We have some pictures of our baby there. When she was one year old. We went to berlin thick really stupid. Because we're going to places that we like. We were saying your father and your mother have the first keys here and she was like one year old like. I don't care at all about your sheets but for us because really exciting. What has it been you being on your own berlin fan. What has it brought to you in your life. I follow a football team for me. It means more than just football.

"You have all your binds and your and they'll just three clubs on this side now of course like chicken and two from berlin which is houghton and now you own your own when yes have to understand that that blessing the in the west part of berlin They dustin downtown esteem and because berlin was divided into so hurt that was in the west part in the capitalist. One and also a rb. Leipzig is a team. Created in two thousand nine on a low. They are in uh cd. The blessing the fdr their policy and the way of working has nothing to do with the ddr so even in their first match wounds league. That was against union siege. The funds say something like ten years after finally recent east lobbing in this league saying that that the guys from Were not part of that. Show only on berlin rivals when historically it was The number that it was like this team of the stasi that they won't ten consecutive arab early as narrow when they were playing against union. They were always winning. But as i said Fines were shouting lord against them and so on so much about they gave more about the environment wrong but in in two thousand and five they met in for division and i think it was like the biggest event ever because only on beat them eight zero so he bless her way to say okay with with the head of the communist party steward the best but now it's becoming really hard for you nowadays..

"Show other clubs show of germany so we try to make it as complete as possible and that people feel identified with the glove on its context. Well the thing is that number. Lynn started i The beginning of the twentieth century By the fight to to say part of the history that is really interesting is When they were in the east side of germany when the country was divided into because they were kind of the rebels of the system and dynamo berlin was like the club the stasi so in the stadium when they were playing together one against each other. They were singing songs like a tear. The world down fucking stasi beaks one. So it was one of the places in the dr. That people went to to the stadium to protest against the system that it was really difficult to demonstrations on so they were kind of fascinated into the system inside the stadium. But this this doesn't mean that it was all related with this ideology because now nowadays they do it the opposite way. They are against this real capitalist teams such as our beliefs ish so they are putting these messages in the stadium like ellipses the country football. Is there one. So i don i feel like it's an system club like the they protested against something that is not fair so i feel them defied with this with this feelings. You telling me that. They are fiercely protective even now that they are in the bundesliga fiercely protective of the way that they do things and way of people from the outside coming in. And this the instant success that they're seeing right now It was funny because some years ago they were in positions to go to the first division and they boot Something in the stadium saying shit we are going to to arrive to wounds league so these irony that the rabbit scared that this familiar feeling being part of the neighborhood that they were going to lose it being first-division division they really want to robot deny in a way that it doesn't become gracie full of tourists too much merchandising. They're going stay by. Stabilizing is a really good way to do it. You go to to company these neighborhood. You really feel it. That is really familiar. And you have to adopt them on the part of of the neighborhood yourself and i can. I can understand why. Because i've been reading about the club and the things that they have done after it about you know how they helped rebuild the stadium which doesn't it was was that and also they. They've had their share of ups and downs today there in the bundesliga but they've had trouble where The almost were bankrupt and the fans game together and give their blood literally gave their blood for for the. Yes one to understand the club. It's really connected with the situation of germany as her country because when the reunification was done in the ninety s it was like a country that had a lot of money against a country. That didn't have anything and they have to compete in the in the same competition plus really hard for the teams of is germany to adopt to the new system to be some of them in this league are in second-division so many of these labs have disappeared on others..
