A highlight from Ripples Vison for DeFi: Tokenize, Manage & Move
"All right, we are back and I'm with a Boris algorithm. He is the head of defy at a ripple. Boris. I'd like to finish on some rapid fire crypto conversation. Are up you for it? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Boris. Just going to run some questions at you. Just want kind of your honest answers. Hup take style. Just a bit of fun. Question one for you. Where would you say that you sit on the Bitcoin maximalist to multi -chain opportunist spectrum? I'm definitely a multi -chain opportunist. It's a multi -chain world and we very much believe that at ripple as well. Yeah, I thought you might say that. All right. Well, what would you say is your firmest conviction crypto opinion, Boris? My firmest crypto conviction is that Satoshi Nakamoto is will never be pound. I don't think we will ever know his true identity.
Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
Fresh "Boris" from Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
"By six tenths of one percent. Media shares are two tenths lower. The best performing sectors real estate and basic resources both up by one percent. We're also watching Wall Street futures pushing higher. S &P E -minis are six tenths of one percent higher. NASDAQ futures eight tenths higher after we had that government shutdown averted over the weekend. Let's get to some of our top stories then that Stephen and the UK Chancellor has weighed in on the debate around tax cuts ahead of the next election telling Bloomberg he wants them but there's no shortcuts. The comments come amid growing discontent within the Conservatives over Britain's record tax burden. Speaking to Bloomberg at the party's annual conference Hunt said tax cuts would be both unaffordable affordable and inflationary. We don't have that because in fact since the spring budget our debt interest payments and more expensive. Because the markets are pricing long -term debt more expensively than they did but there's another reason why this isn't the right time for big tax cuts which is even more significant which is that they would be inflationary. If we put money in people's pockets they would spend that money and then prices would go up and just at the moment that we're turning the tide on inflation want to go in the opposite direction. Consumer price inflation currently stands at 6 .7 % in the UK Jeremy Hunt and the Prime Minister have pledged to get it Not everyone shares the Prime Minister's view or the Chancellor's view even on cutting taxes. The Secretary of State for leveling up Michael Gove As he wants to see reductions soon here's what he had to say when pushed on the issue. The discussion about where the tax burden should fall I think is one that we need to take not now but in a little bit's time. Should there be a reduction in the tax burden on individuals before the next election? Are we talking the next year? Are we talking three years or are we talking five years? Yes, I would like to see the tax burden reduced before the next election. Those comments from Michael Gove during that Sky News interview come as the Prime Minister's predecessor Liz Trost also gets set to make an intervention on the issue. Later today she's expected to call for cuts to corporation tax, something previously she's targeted during the ill -fated mini -budget. The US has avoided a government shutdown, a stopgap spending bill passed by Congress over the weekend will keep the government open until the 17th of November but it doesn't include more funding for Ukraine. Bloomberg's Eric Wolbank says the politics have proved to be challenging for the Republican leadership. The simple math for Kevin McCarthy the House Speaker through this entire exercise has been that he has had the votes to be able to move forward on a bipartisan funding bill at roughly existing levels but that doing so could cost him a chance at keeping his job. Eventually after exhausting all other opportunities, McCarthy took that. Derek Wolbank says the deal also gives financial markets some breathing room. Some analysts had warned that an extended closure of federal agencies would spur gyrations in the Treasury curve and hit stocks that rely on government spending. Household water bills in England are set to rise by an average of 35 % by 2030. That's as water companies plan to ramp up investment to £96 billion in the five years to the end of the decade for a series of projects including new reservoirs and fixing leaks. Industry Body Water UK says the investment program would double current levels and will be the largest ever in the sector. Wall Street begins a new trading month with plenty of moving parts including a jobs report, several federal speakers and a number of earnings reports. Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Consumer spending will be in earnings focus this week when we hear from package maker ConAgra Brands and retailer Levi Strauss. Rob Hayworth is senior investment strategist at US Bank Asset Management. We're really going to look for earnings expectations to tick higher. If there is a next leg up in this market and our year -end price target on the S &P 500 is 4600, but that's really going to require earnings to tick higher. also We're reporting this week's spirits company Constellation Brands and poultry producer Calmain. In New York, Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio. Those are our top stories on the Let's get more now from the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. Caroline Hepker has been live with Caroline. Boris Good morning, thank you so much Stephen and Anna. Yes, we're expecting the Chancellor's speech later on this morning to lay out the agenda for the Conservatives on what is business day. One of the key topics though also at the Tory conference in Manchester is whether the government is preparing to scrap the planned northern leg of the flagship HS2 high -speed rail project in the city from Birmingham. When Bloomberg asked the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, he refused to be drawn on the future of the project. We haven't made a formal decision and at the appropriate time an announcement will be made. But what I will say is that we would always want to invest in our economic infrastructure but you would expect any Chancellor to want to understand why it is that it costs ten times more to build high -speed rail in this country than it does in France and so those are the discussions that we're having inside government. So that was a Jeremy Hunt there speaking to Bloomberg to get reaction on those comments. I'm joined now by the Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Welcome to Bloomberg Radio. Thank you very much. Good morning. Good morning. So the Chancellor refusing to be drawn then on HS2. What position does that leave you in when the government has floated this idea but seemingly not made a decision? It's so frustrating for us because the government says it won't comment on speculation but who created the speculation? Who created the uncertainty? did They and then you hear the Chancellor say, you know, why does building high -speed rail cost ten times more here? Well, that's question a for himself and for the Prime Minister because they've overseen the spiralling costs HS2. on We're not against having a conversation about how do we get the cost down? How could we perhaps re -phase the scheme? The one thing we would say to both of them is do not scrap it. Do not pull the plug on the north of England. It feels cynical to me, it feels as though they're building to a decision, that they've already pretty much made that decision and yet they realise that, oh, we're going to be in Manchester so we can't announce it before,

A highlight from DeSci: How Blockchains are Powering Science 3.0 | Zuzalu #7
"Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. And today, on this episode of our Zuzalu series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers and new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running on. Bankless Nation, today we are exploring the frontier of DCI, or Decentralized Science. What is DCI? DCI is a really good question because I legitimately had no idea going into Zuzalu. But it became clear that DCI is a great connector of many of the technologies presented here at Zuzalu. DCI is how synthetic biology and longevity have to do with Ethereum. DCI is what is putting Ethereum at the center of these things. The fundamental argument for DCI is that the old ways of doing science is bad. And for the same reasons why the old way of doing money and doing finance is bad, DCI looks at the incumbent system of producing science and sees friction and corruption and antiquation and toxic tradition. DCI wants to use blockchain technology to improve the systems and institutions of science. The mechanisms of how science can use a blockchain is a very big conversation. And the answers are more than a few. But the conversation that you're about to hear with Boris and Mikey will download you on the DCI landscape here. But this isn't just about improving the ways that we do science. This isn't just about, hey, we found a new way to do science better and faster. DCI presents a zero to one step function change in the form factor of scientific progress itself. You know how Uniswap and Aveg and ERC20 tokens are just open APIs of financial tools. DCI wants to do very similar things for its scientific data. What would happen if we made our scientific data as open and as free as a contract call? What if scientific data was as modular and open as the internet itself? But blockchain tech doesn't just provide new solutions for scientific data specifically. DCI is also marked by an emergence of DAOs, all following a decently similar form factor of capital allocation, financing clinical trials in hopes of investing in a breakout new treatment, servicing the long tail of un -serviced patients, which also sounds a lot like banking the unbanked, and a bunch of other similar puzzle pieces that are all trying to go after certain specific use cases in the world of science. So this first episode in this two interview series is with Boris Dyakov and Mikey Fisher, both who are pioneers in the DCI space and helped me have one of the most enjoyable and easy conversations that I had at Zuzalu. And after listening to this conversation, you'll understand exactly what DCI is getting at and whether or not you want to proceed into the second conversation with Alok Taieh, whose project ViBio illustrates a specific example of the overall archetype of DCI DAO that are art there, trying to use blockchain tech to coordinate and accelerate scientific progress. So, Bankless Nation, are you ready to explore the frontier of scientific progress? By the way, at Zuzalu, all of the traditional scientific researchers that were there all realized that the existence of DCI implies the existence of TradSci, which was a meme that stuck pretty damn fast. So all right, let's go and learn about DCI with Boris and Mikey, followed by DCI DAOs with Alok. But first, I want to talk about some of these fantastic sponsors that make the show possible. Extra thanks to Kraken, our preferred exchange for crypto in 2023. Whether you are dollar cost averaging into crypto to prepare for the bull market or you're taking profits out of crypto, be sure to do it with Kraken. The newly designed Kraken Pro makes it super easy to do both your basic financial transactions while also taking your trading to the next level. Kraken Pro is truly the trading UX that you've always wanted. So if your bull market archetype is the trader class, you need Kraken Pro in your toolkit. But if your character class is more of a DeFi journeyman or woman, then MetaMask Portfolio is the tool for you. MetaMask Portfolio is your DeFi multi -chain battle station. Any asset on any Ethereum layer 2, MetaMask Portfolio will present it to you. So don't get caught forgetting assets or missing opportunities. Make sure you're prepared for the bull run by prepping your MetaMask Portfolio. Moving on from tools you need to playing fields to play on, the arbitrum layer 2 is one of the main arenas in which this bull market will be fought on. Whether your character class is a DeFi degen, airdrop hunter, or healed seeker, the arbitrum colosseum is where a ton of the action is going to be. So whether you're on arbitrum 1 for DeFi and NFTs or arbitrum Nova for web 3 gaming or a new frontier on arbitrum using an arbitrum orbit chain, there are so many opportunities to sink your teeth into. But as we know, the Ethereum roll -up centric roadmap produces all kinds of layer 2s. And Mantle is one of the newest layer 2s on the scene with some of the newest technology that Ethereum layer 2s has to offer in the year 2023. Mantle is built using the OP stack, but uses Eigenlayers data availability solution instead of the expensive Ethereum layer 1, reducing gas fees by 80 % compared to other layer 2s. With billions of dollars standing by from Bitdow to invest in Mantle, make sure you stay ahead of the game by building and growing your on -chain footprint on Mantle. Let's not forget about the ETH staking character class, and Stater makes it easy. Running a staking pool with Stater just requires 4 Ether for a deposit, letting you charge a fee to the remaining 28 Ether that uses your node to stake their ETH, increasing your ETH yield by 35%. Stater's staked Ether token ETHX allows you to stake your Ether and use it in DeFi at the same time. For all you DeFi swappers out there, this one is for you. UniswapX has opened up a brand new landscape to play in, and it's the world of intents. This is where those who employ the swapping ability get to team up with the evil MEV Bot Army, and they get to band together to discover the most efficient liquidity route through the Ethereum landscape. Gas -free swaps, MEV protection, and theoretically optimal pricing. When and swappers MEVers come together, new metas happen, and it's thanks to UniswapX. So the next time you trade on Uniswap, consider clicking the UniswapX button to get your MEV protection. And so, if we're truly entering a bull market phase in crypto, which we totally are, then tokens are going to start flying all over the place. So if you're an organization looking to grow with token incentives, then look no further than Toku. If you want to distribute tokens to your employees, team members, or for payroll, Toku can help you comply with labor laws, tax obligations, and reporting for whatever country you employ someone. Crypto is entering its regulated era, and Toku can help you achieve your token incentive award goals with compliance. So thank you to all the sponsors that support Bankless, and all the podcast editors, newsletter writers, and operations managers who make the Bankless organization the best that we can be. We truly appreciate your support, and for all the listeners out there who listen to the mountains of content that we churn out each week, especially this one right here. So let's go on to the show. Bankless Nation, we are here at Zuzalu, and I got two people on the podcast with me today. Right to my right, we got Mikey. What's up, Mikey? How's it going? How's it going? And then further down to my right, we got Boris. What's up, Boris? Hello, David. Pleasure to be here. So I've heard the name DeSci a number of times. It had some exposure at East Denver. I've seen it on Twitter, but I haven't really figured it out. But DeSci seems to be the thing that really is pinning a lot of these various conversations at Zuzalu together. That's why the synthetic biology people are talking to the crypto people, right? That's why the longevity people are talking to the crypto people. That's kind of my basal level understanding. But beyond that, I don't know what DeSci really is or how to explain this movement to the Bankless Nation. So I'm hoping you guys can help us guide all of the listeners down that rabbit hole. You guys want to do that? Very excited, too. Yeah, happy to. But first, a little bit more about you guys. Mikey, tell us a little bit about yourself and your background. Yeah. So I just finished my PhD. I was at Stanford. Congrats. I was studying computer science and natural language processing.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from "The Collector" with Daniel Silva and Col. Kurt Schlichter talks with Rep. Jim Banks & Byron York
"Good morning. So good to hear your voice. I always tell you I love your books, but I really love this book. The Collector, I have not read the last 20 pages because I did not want to run the risk of doing a spoiler on the show. This is fabulously plotted. Is this the 23rd Alain novel? It is, which is, I still can't believe that he has persevered all these years. You know, he was only supposed to be in a single book, unlike a lot of authors who have continuing characters. You know, they created the character for the express purpose of having him be a long -running protagonist. That's not what I did with Gabriel. He was supposed to appear in one book and one book only. And I was talked into writing the second book by a very smart figure in the publishing industry. That book did better than the first Gabriel Alain book. I was talked into writing another book by my editor at the time, the third book, which is sort of one of the most important books of the series, a book called The Confessor. It's difficult to believe, but when I first thought of The Confessor, it was not supposed to be a Gabriel Alain book. And now here we are, 20 books after that, 23 books in the Gabriel Alain series. And your art gets better. I suppose it's like an artist. You get better with age and with practice. Let me start by telling people about Compromat. Something I learned about in 1984 when I joined the Department of Justice and had my first defensive briefing because I was going to have classified, I learned about Compromat. I still can't believe people fall for it, Daniel Silva. And it's central to this book because this book is about Russian part. How much do you think it still goes on? I think that as I write in the book, that the book imagines that there is some internal resistance to Vladimir Putin. And now we know, thanks to the events of late July, that there is internal resistance to Vladimir Putin. And this character remarks to another character in the novel that it is the crowning achievement of the – Putin is not named as the president but of the Putin era – that Russia is a Compromat state, that everyone who participates in the Russian president's inner circle, who rises to power, who makes money, who has any position of influence, is compromised in some way by their very participation in the state. It is a Compromat state. But in terms of how the Russians compromise people into doing their bidding, as another character says in the book, why would anyone work for the Russians, really? Yes, some people believe in Putinism, but mainly they have two ways to recruit assets, and that is with money and to compromise them. And people get compromised for all kinds of different reasons. But money is a very powerful weapon that the Russians have wielded against the West. It's a topic that I've explored in previous books. And people do really foolish things for money. This is a great book. And sex. It is a great book for anyone who is going to deal with any foreign actor, but especially the Chinese and the Russians, to read just as a prophylactic kind of prudential read. Because it's riveting, and it's believable, and boy does it work. I want to ask at the very beginning, I've got lots of notes. I've got four pages of notes on this, so I'm not going to give anything away, but I'm going to ask you a lot of specifics. First of all, Van Damme. That's a name, I'm not going to tell you anything about that. There's a Van Damme in Ted Lasso. I'm just wondering, was that a connection, or does that come out of the brain of Danny Silva? Van Damme is a very, very common name. I'm not a Ted Lasso person. So no, there's no allusion to Ted Lasso in the... Okay, I'm just wondering, because Van Damme matters a lot in Ted Lasso. Next, Dr. Zhivago shows up a lot, and the quote is, And remember, you must never, under any circumstances, despair to hope and to act. These are our duties in misfortune. Boris Pasternak. That comes up three times in the book. Has that hung around in Daniel Silva's brain for a long time? Yeah, it's one of the most memorable lines from Zhivago.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Rescuers Find the Abandoned Tent
"The help of student volunteers Oleg Grebenik, Moises Axelrod, and Boris Slopkov created three additional groups for UPI. Four local MNC hunters were also hired for a total of 500 rubles to assist in the search for the missing party. Along with other experts, Moscow dispatched EP. Maslenikov, Baskin, Bardin, and Shojenko. Boris Slopkov's group was dropped off on February 23rd close to Mount Atortin, the party's eventual goal. Sports ski's first tracks were found. A location that the Dyatlov group most likely used for an overnight campout was discovered. They arrived at the mountain the following day, on February 24th, and determined that tourists never made it this far. None of the records, flags, or other items that would have pointed to a recent group visit was discovered by the students. While everyone else searched for hints regarding the direction of future searches, some members began to prepare dinner. They discovered 710 rubles as well as train tickets for some of the group members. The search party saw this discovery as a win. If they had been robbed then surely the money would be gone too. On February 26th, on the slope of Kalatsyaks, they found the tent used by the hikers. Ironically, Slopkov was one of those who, three years previously, helped Dyatlov build the tent from two tents, lengthening and enlarging it. He knew what it was right away. The rescue team found a stove inside the tent that Dyatlov had built himself. The rescue team noticed immediately that the tent had been cut open from the inside. Whoever had been inside the tent, for one reason or another, had desperately escaped. It is difficult to understand why they chose this odd exit before exiting the tent, oblivious of the entrance. One of the searchers noted that the cuts in the tent were made in slices 40 cm long. The searchers noted that if these slices were done in a single cut, that would require a very large knife, maybe with a blade as long as 16 inches, depending on how sharp it was. A smaller blade could have done it, but only by sawing, which makes a cut that is more ragged which doesn't match the slices made in the canvas of the tent. Whatever had happened, many of the hikers weren't fully dressed and definitely not prepared to brace for the extreme weather when they left the tent.

Mayor of New York Should Probably Start Eating Meat Again...
"Example of somebody who's gone a little bit Biden. This is the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, who I guess he doesn't like meat, but being a vegetarian, I don't think it's affected his cognitive skills too well. He's reading a speech and tell me if you agree, it's a little bit disturbing play cut. So our food is not created equal. The vast majority majority of food that is contributed to our emission crisis lies in meat and dairy products that plant power, diet is better for your physical and mental health and I am living proof of that, but the reality is that thanks to this new inventory, we're finding out it is better for the planet. Better for your health, your physical and mental health, Jeff, he doesn't sound too, I mean, that's the worst I've ever heard him. I know. He can't even read a statement that was only 30 seconds. That was like, what's its sharpton? That's like sharpton. Yes, and there's no way it's good for your mental health. Adam Schiff has been a vegan for 20 years. That just sums it up right now. I'm going to second, most famous vegetarian history. Oh, that would be Hitler, right? Yes. Yes, if you need any reason to eat meat, it's the most famous vegetarian history was that little crazy Corporal from Austria.

Former U.S. Attorney Reveals Serious Hunter Biden Crimes
"The first hour with former U.S. attorney for D.C., former Senate intelligence committee staffer George journal of Victoria tan Singh. And we discussed what's happening with the Hunter Biden laptop investigations, the IRS of whistleblower fascinating stuff, got to run something past you that is kind of swirling around the conservative biosphere. Biosphere. You like that? That's kind of fancy lingo. That the left is throwing Joe under the bus because of the haunted thing now becoming a criminal investigation openly. I don't know about that. I think it's going to be even if it comes out on the wrist or a fine. You know, you're an attorney. Attorney council to the president, you've been a campaign staffer. You senior adviser strategic adviser over the years. What's your read about what's going on? When this popped up, almost a year ago, because at the same thing, oh, it's a Democrat strong, but it doesn't appear to me that way. There's one thing that appears to be for sure is that Hunter Biden seems to have committed very serious crimes. Much more serious than the misdemeanors and even the single felonies that have been reported so far. I think the whistleblower from the IRS is a major problem for them. And also, by the way, the news yesterday on a separate issue that Mike morell, the former interim CIA director, coordinated that fake letter about the Hunter Biden laptop for the Biden campaign. And via the request from Anthony blinken was working on the campaign who's now the Secretary of State. Oh, he is. Well, the Chinese don't think so. Right, the Chinese do not. They do nothing. He doesn't seem to be getting a lot of respect from anybody, blinken, does he? So he's going to bring you blankets to Ukraine. Yeah, indeed, indeed. So if this is where we're at, if this isn't a serious threat, I got to ask you the perennial question. Can the Democrats let slow Joe run? It seems that way. I mean, the reporting is that he's announcing next week. That's the latest. So guys, if you missed this, the latest last 24 hours is that the big announcement from slow Joe Beijing Biden will be next week that he's officially running, although he's not running. We're shuffling. Crawling.

Exposed: Democrats' Shocking Racism Towards Immigrants
"Another clip behind the curtain of who the Democrats are. This is when you realize they're just, they have no sense of self awareness. No sense of reality, and it completely detached from the average American. This is the racism of the Democrat party. Congresswoman pramila jayapal, who has a very specific vision of who the immigrants in America are, and she says this from the floor of the Congress cut 5. This country needs immigrants to survive. Immigrants pick the food we eat, rebuild our communities after climate disasters, help construct our infrastructure, power our small business economy, clean our homes and look after the most precious in our families. Our children and our elders. So we're both immigrants, so according to congresswoman jayapal, we can rise to the heights of babysitting and cleaning toilets. Hey, I'm going to give you this back because obviously I'm not qualified to be here. As an immigrant. Right. We should be on our own. Are we here to clean? Are we here to talk? Is this your show, miss jib? This is so disgusting. That's amazing. But this goes to the history of the Democrat party, right? The racism. Anti semitism, right? We know about all too well from your best friend, Rashida Tlaib, and Alana Omar. This is really Democrats are. There are hateful, they are disgraceful and frankly, they don't stand for the what's the best in America.

Sebastian Welcomes Boris Epshteyn In-Studio!
"Here in America first. Boris Epstein, welcome, how long has it been? Way too long. Way too much. You know how it has been way too long. I've been holding on to the promised cigars with a baron for at least a month from my personal provider, my purveyor of cigars. A selection of sizes, selection of strengths. I love it. These are the brands, the no band brand, because we're kind of covert here that I smoke when I'm smoking cigars, these have been sitting here for a while. Put them in your humid or give them a little bit of love. I will do it. That is so kind. And the next we talk, I want a little bit of a report. What do you do that? Will you do that? A 1000%. Thank you so much. That's very kind. Well, I haven't seen you in studios since somebody in Manhattan did something outrageous. But when I saw the footage, I saw you get off Trump force one. I saw the coverage of you with the present. I saw you sitting next to him in the court. It made me feel good to see you there. Then we had what was it a week later or maybe that same week president Trump was in Miami for the UFC. He looks great. I mean, his mood looks amazing. Is this like campaign mode? Is he like fully fueled and ready to roll? This is the best I've ever seen president Trump from every angle. He's dominating on the full spectrum. He literally is firing on all cylinders and you're seeing it right now literally on TV calls. Tell everybody what we're sitting in here in studio. We've got a live stream Fox News. What are you reading on the Chiron right now? Calls him as a Florida, another representative from Florida endorsing president Trump right now live and now they've got the graphic of it looks like 11 11 Florida representatives masked Corey mills, Rutherford.

Sean Davis Responds to the Latest News Out of Manhattan
"It's been a while. Welcome back, Sean Davis. Thank you for having me. All right, we have to discuss all kinds of things. While you were locked out of your Twitter account, what went on in Nashville in the broader ramifications. But first, let's talk about the news of the last 24 hours. Alvin Bragg, I have said as an immigrant to this country whose parents escaped communism, we have crossed a line here and there can be no negotiating with the other side. We have to crush them politically and then we have to dis mantle the deep state your response to the news out of Manhattan. I mean, it's an embarrassment in unfortunately it's not surprising at all. The left has made clear that the only crime they care about, the only one they will not tolerate is opposing their politics. And with Trump having been president, potentially being president again, they're going to set an example with him that if you oppose us, especially if you win, you will pay. And it's interesting to remember I was reminded by a colleague today, he's not the first Republican presidential candidate to be indicted on nonsense. Recall that Rick Perry was indicted by a corrupt Travis county DA back in 2014 when he vetoed funding for a prosecutor's office after the prosecutor had been driving drunk and gotten caught on video bullying the cops and attacking them. And they said he had to go to prison because he had abused his power. This is not a new trend with the left. They hate their opposition and they will crush them by any means necessary and Trump is just the latest victim of

Boris Epshteyn Comments on How Afraid DA Bragg Is Feeling
"Question, how telling is it that the Manhattan DA ran away from his office last night jumped into the SUV with his bodyguards and has sealed the indictment, which is meant to be used for flight risks and fugitives from the law. Doesn't that tell you how afraid they are and how weak this case is? Without commenting on this specific here's what I'll say. All of them know it's weak. The liberals know it's weak. Obviously, the conservatives know it's a complete nothing better. Burger, but the liberals know that they are trying every single little thing to stop president Trump, but they also deep deep in their sad festering hearts know that they could not do so because America stands with president Donald J Trump and the mega movement.

Stephen Colbert Is Tickled by Trump's Indictment
"You like me or an immigrant to this country. And let's move away from the law for a second. You and president Trump and his team are going to be busy. I want to ask you how you internalize and how you understand this kind of phenomena. This is on a national cable show. It's meant to be humor. This was broadcast yesterday within minutes of the announcement, and it kind of beggars belief. Let's play Stephen Colbert, cut three. Just little something worth celebrating today because literally three minutes before I walked out on the stage here, The New York Times reported a New York grand jury voted to indict former president. And on top of that, he goes on to say this as well, which is even more heinous. This is cut for. Ladies and gentlemen, he was right. We're finally saying Merry Christmas again.

Come on. This is good. This is good news for everybody even him. He now gets to join his J 6 prison choir, you know? The number one on iTunes so a couple of things here that you can react to Boris. Number one, he's making fun of Christians. To go down from about 500. I'll give you ten seconds. So he's making fun of Christians talking about how this is a Christmas present. He's joking about the president going to prison eating ice cream has announcing it. If it were one person, I get it, but it's not one person, it's a person with a TV show. And then perhaps the creepiest of all as an American who chose this country, he didn't even say what the president was indicted for, he just said he was indicted and the audience of fellow Americans goes crazy in ecstasy. I find this hard to explain Boris, help me. It is disgusting. It is despicable. It is un American and it shows just how divorced from reality Sebastian. The left has become

Boris Epshteyn Shares How Trump Is Feeling Following His Indictment
"Boris Epstein. Welcome back to America first. So that's some great to be on with you. It's an honor to be with you and your audience. So you are a senior adviser to the Trump campaign. You are an attorney. We can't go into the details of the case, of course. We don't want to undermine anything. President Trump and his advisers and his attorneys are planning. But let me just ask, first things first, how is the president doing? President Trump is as always standing tall for America. He's fighting against organization, fighting against targeting by law enforcement of conservatives and of the maga movement. And he's fighting against this new tool in the toolbox of election interference that radical liberals are using. They're using targeted weaponized persecutions as election interference because they know that they're losing. They know that president Trump is up by 30, 40, 50 points in the polls on the primary up by huge numbers in the general. And they're using law enforcement to go after him to go after Americans to go after the maga movement. President Trump is standing tall. He is fighting on all cylinders and I'm happy to report that we are going to continue to win these battles just as we have been for almost a

Protests Continue to Roil Across Israel and France
"Continue to roil across Israel and France all night long in this morning is Israel considers prime minister Netanyahu and his coalition. Our gathering to consider whether or not to pause the legislation, which is now reached the floor of the platinum session, the Connecticut can pass it, I believe, with one rating they've done all the amendments they worked all weekend. They're right up on the brink of winning. About hundreds of thousands of Israelis don't like it. Same people that voted against Netanyahu and the coalition, you know, a few months ago I don't like it. So they're out in the streets. They've closed Ben Gurion Airport this morning. Port is closed. In France, protesters who lost the election in Macron are now being joined by black clad anarchists and are burning down buildings in various parts in and has put out a story this morning. Is it safe to travel to France? The answer is yeah, but know what you're doing is going to be garbage on the street. So both countries have to decide whether or not their leaders who recently won, and I just remember when prime minister Liz truss, she's now a former prime minister Liz truss blinked when she won the election over Rishi sunak to replace Boris Johnson Great Britain last year, she put out a budget, the left wing exploded, a panicked financial elite, and she blinked and her government felt. And I think you have to consider that Netanyahu and Macron both look at what happened to trust. Indeed, they have to look a little bit at what happened to Donald Trump in 2017 when traps were laid for him by the outgoing Obama administration, and they have to consider, do I blink now if I blink, will it all fall apart?

What's Special About Jacob Gray's AR Platform?
"Just too many AR platforms out there? What's special about Jacob gray's ARs? Well, Jacob grey, you know, when I started Jacob, we were aerospace machine shop. We still are at airspace machine shop to this day. And so we build everything in house out of billet. No forgings, no castings, and so basically during the COVID and aerospace industry took a dive a couple of years ago. I decided to kind of pivot my shop so that I would not have to lay any of these great American workers off and so I sold everything out and pivoted toward guns and I knew that I could design the guns to benefit the American people to be a little bit more accurate than possibly what they're using. And so that's kind of how it started and it grew from there. I've built 19 11s for about 12 years. Built those up and so I started playing around in the black gun market, the AR-15, the AR ten, the 9 millimeter. So when we developed those guns and put them out there in the fields, everybody was pretty pleased with how they turned out, so I decided to go full force with it. And I'm proud to say in the last two years, we've grown that business almost a $1 million over one year. So much so that we're going to be moving to a new facility here in about three months to accommodate the growth and hire some more, the more employees and looking forward to the future, I've got a great team around me. I've got a great sales of marketing theme that are helping me push this thing. And we've got a couple of new products coming out. This summer, the Jacob grey 1911 double stack.

Why Simon Campbell Went to War With Local Pennsylvania Authorities
"Those who missed our chat on my newsmax show recently in the last time you were on the show, just give us a little crazy little summary of why you went to war with the local authorities in Pennsylvania and who ended up winning eventually. Yeah, right. Well, the local school board in Pennsylvania a bunch of 9 left wing radical liberals were silencing people at public comments, three citizens before me got silenced. That's why I showed up in Malibu. They weren't allowed to speak. Exactly. They showed up a public comment to criticize the critical race theory program and they were basically told to shut up, sit down and be quiet. And it was all on videotape. So I found out about it. And I'm like, right, well, you're going to get a piece of my mind. And they tried to shut me up as you saw. And so the four of us sued them in federal court for First Amendment violations. And we won an injunctive order against the district saying you're not allowed to enforce this piece of garbage unconstitutional speech policy. And then they ended up selling the case for $300,000. Paid to the lawyers, of course, because the lawyers make the money. And for my trouble as a plaintiff, I got the grand total of $17 91 cents. Now you tell me Sebastian, 1791. Does that ring a bell to you? I love it. I just want to know, how did you engineer that your reward was $70 and 91 cents? Well, here's the thing. When you file a First Amendment lawsuit, you can only get what's called nominal damages because it's not like you're claiming you broke your back or anything like that. And so you have to put a figure in for the court and I said, well, I will update it. It means something. I want the year the Bill of Rights as enacted. I want those suds to send a British citizen a check for 1791 and don't mess with it, but a citizen's First Amendment rights again or I'll get 1791 from you.

A couple of disastrous interviews for Ron DeSantis without pathetic individual peers and Morgan, then he didn't exactly shower himself with glory with my colleague at Eric bolling, and then Ron DeSantis had this comment to make, which I found rather amusing. This is cut 5 baron your reaction. So here's the thing, I think these are people who are in the political class, journalists class, politicians, and like D.C. in particular, they get mad, I don't do the cocktail parties. I don't like rubbing elbows with other people. I like doing my job and then spending time with my family. That's just what I do. A lot of the people that are criticizing, you know, they would say, oh, he doesn't do well with donors. He doesn't glad him with him. And yet I raise more money than any non presidential candidate in the history of America. Are you kidding me? So we tend to do. We do well. But I do think that ideal better with regular people than I do with some of the people in the political class. Help me out here, mister senior adviser for the Trump 2024 campaign. Allegedly, the governor of Florida doesn't like robbing elbows with donors, doesn't do the cocktail circuit, but he didn't speak at cpac because he wasn't a big fundraiser. I'm confused. Help me out, baron. There is anything to use a considering that he just had a few weeks ago I had a whole concept multi day concept at a very decrepit, very every day, very middle American resort called the four seasons in Palm Beach, Florida. This is absolute typical establishment nonsense like Mitt Romney used to find in an airplane to Iowa and get into a get into a fancy car. Find those private jets, get into a fancy limo and then get into a Chevrolet to go to a rally. Typical inauthentic old school politics, which has failed time and time again and it is not what the American people want. The American people want authenticity from president Donald J Trump.

Boris Johnson says 'partygate' untruths were honest mistake
"Former British prime minister Boris Johnson has acknowledged he misled parliament about rule breaking government parties during the coronavirus pandemic, but he insists he never intentionally lied. Britain's boisterous former leader is set to be grilled by lawmakers on Wednesday. Over whether he lied when he denied there had been parties in his Downing Street offices in violation of COVID-19 lockdown rules. If found to have lied deliberately, he could be suspended, or even lose his seat in parliament in a dossier of written evidence, Johnson acknowledged rules and guidance had been followed at all times, but did not turn out to be correct. He says they were made in good faith, and he had not planned to mislead the house, Charles De Ledesma, London

How creepy is it that when this man is asked by a reporter on the street, whether he should have gone more rapidly to Ohio, he refuses to give an interview and then takes a photograph of a journalist and then the very next day his press secretary in Ohio refuses to ask questions on camera. What is it about this administration? Weren't we told that this was going to be the most transparent administration in American history baron? We were told we were lied, we were lied to and this administration on the leadership of hopeless pathetic Joe Biden continue to lie they lie about his boxes about his documents. They're lied about helping the people of these Palestine they lie about loving America. And hey, where was Joe Biden on Monday president's day? He was in Ukraine. He wasn't in these bouts, and he was in Ukraine. Tale of two cities. And you know, all those memes about, hey, these passengers declared itself to be part of the part of Ukraine just to get them out.

What are your expectations for the field? I expectations are that, again, if the pretenders choose to jump in, that's up to them. I'm not going to try to be what to do, but my number one expectation. And something that I'm extremely confident is that president Trump is going to crush any field in the primary and then crush Joe Biden whoever runs for the pathetic Democrats in the general and walk back into the Oval Office gen 2020 25. All right, thank you, my friend. Please do tell everyone at Mar-a-Lago. I sent a text to a certain person there.

"Listen, baron. 2024 is that and governor's dissent is Florida will slug it out for the Republican nomination. Trump has turned him to a political figure. Continually mourning his loss in 20 20. Big African donors are abandoning him in droves. Desantis is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious. He is likely to be a Republican candidate. Anyone, anyone calling. Anyone like Soros calling anyone pitiful when he looks like the zombie fight crip master is quite amusing. But Boris, this sounds like an endorsement of governor desantis. He calls him shrewd ruthless and ambitious and says he will be the Republican candidate. How bad is this for desantis at one of the most evil people in the world has just effectively endorsed him Boris? It's not a positive, that's for sure. And governor desantis has got her a decision to make. Is he going to go against the will of the people? The will of the maga movement and go against the leader of that movement, president Donald J Trump, is going to do the right thing and endorse the president. And get in line with what the American people want, which is president Trump back in the Oval Office as soon as possible. And if you listen to sorrows, I guess he's a big fan of the Santa says. Those Ken Griffin, who's making all his money with the Chinese Communist Party. So the Paul Ryan's in that campus welcome, we've heard from him. So aren't exactly the kind of endorsement that anybody who's maga wants. Yeah, I've always said if Ron smart, he comes in as a member of the Trump cabinet or his vice president, then he rolls into the top slot for 2028. Do you think Ron DeSantis is smart enough to do that Boris? Well, here's what I will say. 28 wide open, 24 is the president Trump's year. That's what the American people want. And if I were to run the centers or anybody, I mean, look how it's turning out for Nikki Haley. It's a little disaster. Yes. If I were any of the Republican pretenders, I would immediately endorse president Donald J Trump and do what the American people want. Don't let ambition blind you and frankly don't make wrong decisions for your future career. I mean, as you said, going to Santa Fe, it is 40 to 44 years old.

Someone who understands an implicitly he is the senior adviser to the Trump 2024 campaign. My former White House colleague, he is known simply as the baron on this show. Boris Epstein, welcome back to America first. Thank you so much, my pleasure. It's an honor to be with you and honor me with the audience. Do you not get your title, right? See your adviser. You got it. All right. It's so complicated. You have so many titles. It just follow him Boris EP dot com Boris Epstein Boris Epstein on all the social medias. Are you ready to have some fun today? That's all I want to do, my man. It's all about having fun and all about saving America while we're doing it. All right, so let me read to you some things that I hope I hope you do not suffer from. Atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, which means your blood has too many lipids. Reflux. Stiff gait based upon spondylosis of the spine and peripheral neuropathy. I hope you don't have any of those, my friend. I'd have to check the medical record. But in my non professional opinion, I've got none of them. I need to do you. All right, I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor, I pronounce you free of those, although it's just a PhD. I list those scary things because apparently those are the 5 conditions that have been identified yesterday by Walter Reed, which the current incumbent of The White House suffers from, but what's strange Boris, is they neglected to do a cognitive test on him. Why would that be? I'm sure it's by accident. I didn't mean anything by it. But just skipped over it. Oh, well, it's obvious that he's in such great shape. He can't string towards together, doesn't know where he is. Doesn't know who the vice president is, doesn't know what year it is. Why do a cognitive test? Why waste time? It's obvious what they're doing. Let's have some fun. Let's have some fun. Let's remind the world what happened when president Trump took a cognitive test and he was asked about it. It's such a great clip. Cut one. I sent to the Doctor Who was doctor Ronnie Jackson. I said, is there some kind of a test? An acuity test. And he said there actually is, and he named it, whatever it might be. And it was 30 or 35 questions. The first questions are very easy. The last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question. It's like you'll go person, woman, man, camera, TV. So that could you repeat that? So I said, yeah, so it's person, woman, man, camera TV. Okay, that's very good. If you get it in order, you get extra points. If you. Okay, now he's asking you other questions. Other questions? And then ten minutes, 15, 20 minutes later they say, remember the first question, not the first, but the tenth question? Give us that again. Can you do that again and you go person? Woman, man. Camera TV. People made fun of him, but he nailed it and at least he took the cognitive test baron. Of course he nailed it. President Trump nailed it because president Trump's acuity is at the absolute top of the spectrum. And we all know that. And it's obvious every day. President Trump did a recent interview with Hugh Hewitt and a huge throws a lot of curve balls. And it was about 30 subjects in ten minutes all over the place. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. President Trump crushed every single one of them. You got Joe Biden they asked, hey Joe, what day is it? And he's like, oh, folks, folks. What are you talking about? Apple is the new orange, okay? And you know what? Maybe funny, but we're in dangerous. It'd be funny if China didn't control Joe Biden and his crime family. It'd be funny if they weren't sending deludes across the United States. God knows what's in them. We are in a very precarious time in our country. A dangerous time. Somebody else who needs an acuity test, maybe you can translate this, you've been in politics much longer than I have. This is the vice president who didn't have a medical check up at Walter Reed, who's trying to explain something about China, but for the life of me, I have no way of knowing what this sentence means cut 8. President, of course, has reached out to China saying he expects to talk to president Xi. They have said today that it was accidental that we're overreacting that there can't be this kind of dialog given our reaction or they shouldn't be this kind of dialog. We will maintain the perspective that we have in terms of what should be the relationship between China and the United States. That is not going to change, but surely and certainly that balloon was not helpful. We will maintain the perspective of the relationship that we should what if she babbling about, Boris. We are going to continue doing what we have done before in doing what he does. Again, this is not the show veep. This is South Park. It's these are the supposed leaders of the United States of America, the country with the greatest country in the history of God's green earth. It is embarrassing. And as we say on war room, elections are consequences and stolen elections of catastrophic consequences. So that's what happens when you've got these illegitimate leaders. That's my belief that's my own perspective, okay? Because illegitimate leaders, they don't know what they're doing, and then embarrassing our country and putting us in a dangerous dangerous place. And a place where we can't defend ourselves, even against the balloon. I mean, those things are allowed to go across the country. They try to hide them from the Department of Defense. It is a disaster. And in the meantime, all they want to do is try to prosecute and harass president Trump because they know that he is the strongest and only person to keep us safe right now. Yeah. The balloon farragut will discuss that next with our special in studio guest, every Friday we talk to national security with the heritage foundation's Jim carfano. Colonel doctor caravan will be with us next, but have one more cut to play for you. It's going viral.

FAA, Felix augers him, I think he is tremendously talented, super strong, huge forehand big serve, not afraid. I think he's going to win slams, I think, semi corda. I think he can be even more aggressive and assert himself even more. I think sometimes he gets lulled into too many baseline rallies. He doesn't have to stay there. He can come in. He can stay closer to the baseline and be more aggressive even who else. You know, Ben Shelton, I think, is somebody who I'm excited about, right? Obviously I know his dad.

When I saw him fall in Paris, I was really concerned because when you rip your ankle like that, it's really hard to come back full force and full strength. And for him to come back in a slam after 6 months, that's a huge accomplishment in itself. I feel. For him to be moving so fluidly. So with agility and explosiveness already, heads up to him, I wish him well. And then you have who else city pass, I think he can win numerous grand slams and all depends on his mindset, his, how he handles his emotions. I think for him, it's all between the ears. He can do, he can do it all. I mean, he's incredible player. Rublev, same thing. I think it all happens in between the ears with him. If he can contain his emotions and stay locked in and underwater for the duration, baritone, he lost against Mary, which was unbelievable match, but I think he can win slams. He's a great competitor. Unbelievable competitor. And then, you know, he got Taylor Fritz. I think Fritz, he's riding high right now on a great year. I think he's got a lot of confidence and that's what it's all about, you know? How confident are you when you step between these lines and start competing?

You know, I got to know Boris later and his limping days, right? Well, he can't even stand up straight his back hurting the whole time. Tell me about Rebecca was he. What was he like as a kid? Wow. Well, I'm a little bit younger than him, so I was 11, I think when we met first, he had just won Wimbledon at 17, which is crazy. I mean, the world changed when he won Wimbledon. You know, Germany was not the same after he won that tournament. It was such a boom in the sport that we benefited from afterwards. So much talent came out of that country and Michelle station and kiefer and all these guys and he was, you know, he was the trailblazer. He, to me, he changed tennis. Worldwide and how he was playing. He turned into a power sport, right? Him and then, you know, obviously Agassi and it changed everything in the mid to late 80s. After he came on the scene.

"But then on the other hand, it's also, I think, it's a cultural thing. Because look at Novak, for instance, he grew up playing on bombed out courts. We got players from South America who literally play for their lunch, right? They play, it's life or death for a lot of these guys out there. And I don't think that American players have the benefit of that edge, right? Because winning and losing is really indifferent for someone like a Tommy Paul, right? Because his life is not going to change much. If he wins the third round or not. So I think culture is a very important aspect of development in players. And how coaches teach culture. And pass on some of these values and principles to these players to understand that, number one, there has to be some reverence about the sport. And the players that came before you, there has to be respect. It has to be the mentality of working hard every single moment of every single day in order to achieve a goals. And prioritizing, right? Because the time spent of a career in our sport is short. So in order to make the best of that, you really have to focus and prioritize for that length of time in order to maximize your potential. A lot of these smaller countries, they don't have the scrutiny, right? You can sort of develop in the dark and sort of sneak into the quarters here and there. And nobody's going to ask any questions like rude is a great example to think of somebody who is an excellent player who sort of had the good fortune of being developed in the shadows of the Nadal academy, his father played on tour. But there was now not a lot of headlights in his face while he was sort of growing up and he had the time and the space to really mature and develop, but now he's one of the top players. You have other young talent here, like a semi quarter, I think, is somebody who's going to do extremely well. He's 6 5, 6, 6, smooth, hits the ball cleaner than anybody else. He had the good fortune of growing up with a father who played on the tour, so he, his first year on a tour, he already looked like he's been playing for ten years. He was so resolved. So mature, so resolved. How he manages his emotions. It's incredible. But again, the scrutiny was there right away, you know? They were comparisons to agassiz to Sampras to all these guys that came before him. It's not fair sometimes. So tell me about Boris Becker. When I first met wars back, I was walking through the tunnel Wimbledon, you know, the tone that connects, you know, Wimbledon down to the practice courts at a ranking. He's like, come on. Stop. Let me talk to you guys. He knew my name. You know what I mean? And he was like, son, you look too stressed on the sideline. When we look at you, you've got it. So you can display more confidence. I am coaching no man. I got a part I said, some jobs in this sport. I just don't fuck it up. Some jobs in the sport is to make it work. I'm on the other side. You know, I said, it's different.

"And that's the difference between, you know, the greats and some players who might win one. Is that somebody like a Roger Federer or an adult? Or Novak, they've been able to lock in for an extended period of time. And you can tell, especially when they're not playing well or when they're missing when they're missing shots. And how to deal with that. Like when you watch federal play and you know this, you can't tell if you hit the winner if he misses the ball. By his by his emotion, right? He literally, he finishes a point and he moves on to the next one. There's no belaboring, there is no emotional outburst. There's no negative energy, nothing. So that's very intimidating for an opponent, right? And that's something that the young players have to learn that yes, it's okay to emote, but it's better to emote in a positive way. Than to show your opponent that you're struggling. And I think that's the difference between faux winning the Australian open now and when the Australian open in two years, for instance, that he, I mean, he's got so much power. He's got so much speed. He's got such unbelievable hands, huge serve. He's got everything. He's got the full package. He is a captivating character on the court. People love him. He's a kind, amazing, just a great guy. I think we will see what happens when he's faced with these moments of inconsistency and how he manages them. In order to be consistent in the long run, right? Because in order to be consistent, you have to manage inconsistencies in a way. Almost disarm them by not putting too much energy towards when you miss when you miss a ball when you miss three points back to back or when you lose when you lose a service game. Yeah, you know, one of the things I think is a little bit crippling when I look at some American players who almost got it, you know, got that slam I say, if they were from a smaller country, like in Austria, lack of Germany, they would have made it sooner because I feel like in America, we market and monetize a good result. Well, there was some not a slam. You don't win. But we take a good result. You know, four rounds of good result. Corners is a good result. We take that market and monetize and blow it up, attach ourselves to it. So tight that it cripples the player and makes the distance between a quarterfinal result and

"Right? In a star and being on TV and being recognized, tell me what you say to them. This is a very interesting question because like you said, you tend to talk to them about other things in tennis. And I think those things are really the key to being successful at tennis because whether you're talking about their private life, their awareness and consciousness, their confidence, their self awareness, their perspective on the world as a whole, all those things form a human being. And all those things also prepare these human beings to deal or to manage their emotions on the court, right? If you have a good relationship with your immediate environment, your Friends and your family, it gives you a sense of comfort and a sense of confidence. And that. Transcends your behavior on the core, right? So it translates to you being more able to handle the pressure and expectation of my come to you on the court because these young players have tremendous weight on their shoulders, especially when they've been top juniors in the world and. Gathering all these accolades on the junior tours and not being throwing into the mix with all these men or women. And this pressure on the expectation is so huge that sometimes you just you took completely tighten up and you play a style of tennis that you're not used to anymore because you're changing completely how you feel about yourself and the perception you have a great thing around you playing on the tour, traveling different foods, different languages, different people, maybe you don't maybe you can't afford a coach and a physio. So you buy yourself those are really tough transitions to go through for a young player. So the conversations I'm having with like a big foe for instance are more about the mental aspect, the emotional management, right? That he has to now face, especially after having such a successful year last year, right? Because he goes into the Australian open with so much expectation. All of us are hoping that he will win a slam. You know, in the next three years. That's a lot of pressure. Right? And we talked about, I call it, I call it going underwater, which is something that Boris used to say, Boris Becker. Because he used to tell me that after a slam, especially if he went to the finals of one, he couldn't form a sentence for two weeks, right? Because, you know, mentally and emotionally, you're so invested in every single minute of this slam, whether you're on the court or not, you're constantly focused on this one thing that once it's over, you have to find your bearings again. So I talked about being locked in and being underwater and what it feels like to him. And because I can tell when he's on the court when he comes out, I can tell when he's locked in and I can tell when he loses it for a couple of minutes. And that could be the difference between, you know, winning a set of losing a set really fast.

"So you can't be part of the scale. You know, you write a little tool to the hotel, ultimately we were right. Something was wrong with respect, wasn't right. We fixed the spec, we French Open. Yeah. We're back in those positive right now. So thank God that we went toe to toe. So that's nice. That's not Austria. Where it is. So I know you drove, or you had to take a train to an academy, right? And I always think about, you know, I read your story and taking hour and a half train there and back to the academy. With this good you hit a ball now because you hit a ball back then with your size in today's game. Can you imagine if you took that hour and a half to make three hours of commute and actually spend it on tennis court? Communities of color of how we always have to drive far. To get actually to look at, you've got to spend three hours on a train to play two hours in court. You take that and you put all 5 of those hours at least four of them on a court. Imagine what your career would be. And that's like my pitch to creating more spaces to play in communities of color. You know, you're absolutely right. And I think it's a huge issue. With the game in general, because it's all about accessibility. And tennis still suffers from diversity challenges, I call it, right? Because like you said, there's a lot of communities that aren't able to take advantage of this beautiful sport because it's not being made accessible. And it's also to do with the history of tenants. You know, if you go all the way back, go all the way back to its inception in France, the specs of the court were just big enough so that the common man couldn't afford to build a tennis court because the plot of land was just too small for a court to fit. So this sort of elitist approach to the sport started way early when the first people, you know, when the first tennis players started playing the sport. And I think that now that pickleball is coming along and is sort of presenting itself as a real competitor. I think the powers that be should start having serious conversations about how to make tennis more accessible because we're losing a lot of people to pickleball just like I compared to skiing, right? When you die hard skiers and when snowboard came around, a lot of people jumped to snowboarding because it's just the easiest sport to learn. Same with pickleball, right? You can be competitive pickleball player within, I don't know, hours of playing the sport. Whereas, you know, whereas whereas learning how to play tennis is much more, it takes more time and it also takes a lot more money. And you like agility, you gotta be in shade, you gotta be able to cover the court. You know what I mean? So yeah, and I think, you know, that's one of the things when I look at how fast pickleball is caught on. And a number of celebrities that are actually promoting it, investing in paddles and you see Gronk, you see Brady. It's like, how did they do this? And well, number one, it's a small footprint. You know what I mean? And number two is like, it's not as skilled, right? And number three, because you can be a little bit older.

And so again, I think along with Matteo, the world is what is once all of these players who are former grants named champions, who are really, really great athletes like a Cheerios, right?

"Union. If i am able to understand the view of many in the european union they have concerns. They have raised them in your political issue. You know so. Don't don't be worried about. It is just a simple game. The word about they sticks to the leftist activists leftist activists. Of course they could decide. But that's the one we'll come to hungary fee by right to offer. Why do you think. Boris johnson chose to invite viktor orban as the second leader. He's had in the uk after brexit. And what message do you think that sends to other members of the eu that have traditionally been closer to the uk and that the may have been raising concerns about The autocratic nationalist nature of urban government. I think the visit victim advanced all about context and the context really is that britain has just undergone an existential change in its position in the world. And you really saw that with the other events that have been happening last week. You talked about belarus in the hijacking of the plane and when that happens the e you came together to release this joint statement To discuss and plan how they would respond to batteries and dominic robb. The richest foreign secretary stood in an almost deserted house of commons. Making this long statement about how risen condemned the and reedy seems and the visuals on the substance of it. A lonely figure separated from the ear almost inhabiting this new lonely space on the world stage. And i say that because i think this is viktor orban very much takes place in this context. Britain is created a blank slate for itself which by the way it said was all about reclaiming sovereignty and conducting itself in a way that reflected british values that was the narrative around brexit. So for the second. European leader who comes unofficial visit to britain in that context in this blank slate. In reassertion of what. Britain is about in the world to invite an autocrat. Us incoming down repeatedly democracy on human rights abuse who has sawyer nine for his association with anti semitic views. It's just a profoundly disturbing statement for britain about what it will do in the future would've cares about. And you know for boris johnson. Say that they raised human rights abuses. What does that mean. what are the teeth will the. Where's the accountability. If such a thing to claim to have done and something we actually see in in britain's response to so many human rights abuses. I know we're gonna talk about israel. Palestine the same goes for china. Britain says these things but continues to prioritize what it regards its strategic and economic interests and boris. Johnson said he wanted to meet with obama because he's the powerful figure in europe. But i think it sends a really dark message and then add to that. The context that were johnson is someone who is known for trashing many values around respect for minority groups around human rights around political accountability. It's difficult not to link the two and see this in in a big picture as a government that has a really disturbing if an deeply lacking commitment to the values. It claims to espouse. So i think many of us were horrified to see viktor orban being invited your unofficial visit. Atl let alone. In such a high profile priority position given britain is now deliberately making statements about what it does. what values. yeah. I mean i i you know not only is or bond kind of the vanguard of this illiberal income national trend where you tap into kind of an us versus them brenna politics can be pretty brutal On the people cast them and it's usually immigrants or liberal or whomever Some of the same villains that that force johnson her donald trump if it focused on but he's also aligned himself with russia china You know kicking out an american university inviting in chinese university Cozying up to putin and as people are wondering. Where does britain fall on the world stage. You know embracing somebody like that when you been trashing the eu Is a worrying trend at the same time. You can look at all this and wonder what the future is a british politics. I wanted to ask you about the future labour party because for those of us who like to see the uk move in a more progressive direction at home and in terms of of defending democratic values abroad. The labor party usually is the alternative hope But the far we've seen You know the failure to get traction. Even after jeremy corbyn was ousted as leader. We saw under cure starmer the new labour leader. Boris johnson's conservative party. Make real gains in elections last month including picking up seats in places like carpool that are traditional labour strongholds. This upset a lot of pressure on cure starmer. Who said he's going to develop a new platform. I wanted to ask you what. What do you think happened in the election last month. How big a deal were they. And what do you think labor needs to do to turn this around. It's a really big question. You know in response to your earlier question about. We'll boris johnson be held to account for the failings dominant cummings was revealed. I think a big part of the answer and the reason. He still seems to be achieving electoral success. In spite of the completely catastrophic response to covid because of the absence of a compelling position so important in a democracy that you have a strong and compelling opposition otherwise all of the premises of this political system fool away and we have a really deep structural problem with our labor party. And i say that because we can talk about. Kiss dahmer in his particular failures about which i feel quite strongly but you know the bigger picture is that labor has well going back to the nineteen eighties changed the rules so that it could Who becomes the labor leaders of of people outside parliament so labor party members are not employees and that meant that you create to the situation where a leader who was tightly lacking confidence over those who serve him in parliament could be elected by activists outside the party. And that's really the reason that jeremy been the previously leader who undoubtedly took the party quite fast to the left was able to lead this quite disastrous period. There was all this kind of grassroots support for him but he had no traction in parliament. He wasn't able to lead a policy that any discipline vision so kiss on inherited that add to that scotland which continues its nationals. Dr wants to break away. That scene exacerbated by brexit wants to remain in europe and his reconsidering whether it should become a separate nation to do that the fact that lay the hasn't supported independence. scotland led to hemorrhaging votes north of the border. So the re weaken labor pausing and kissed almost tim's this fray and what he really needed what we needed in..

"In an attempt to expose all the ways that the johnson government completely mishandled the coronavirus pandemic and there was some echoes. Shall we say for an american year to the coming testimony He spoke before parliament for more than seven hours and painted a pretty detailed picture of a government. That was incompetent dishonest. Basically completely ill equipped to handle the pandemic cummings described the division of responsibility for handling covid by saying quote. You have that man with both spider-man's pointing at each other it's like that but with everybody Those are very vivid image. He also offered an apology. Something that johnson hasn't saying the truth is that senior ministers senior officials. Senior advisors like me fell disastrously short of the standards that the public has a right to expect of its government in a crisis like this when the public needed us. Most the government failed. I would like to say to all the families of those who died unnecessarily. How sorry. I am for the mistakes that were made and for my own mistakes at that. So doesn't get much more categorical than that offer. I guess my question to you is what did you take away from this testimony. Were you surprised by anything and will this matter. I mean will there be any consequences in british. Politics were boris's seemed to be kind of teflon to things that happened. I think that to be very honest. That was undoubtedly a morbid fascination with watching collins give evidence because it was just the ultimate political backstabbing ready. Ready to state how powerful this man was. This man and unelected official advisor will regarded by those in. Government is in cabinet as well as the civil service as unsustainably powerful. We'd wheeling so much influence over the personalities Also public policy and he was really a hate figure for those who critical of the substantial direction of ritchie policy was the way in which politics is being conducted in this era sir to see him thanh from the hot government on those around especially boris johnson. The prime minister matt hancock their health secretary was very fascinating to watch. I think that's a healthy degree of skepticism to this kind of cummings we costing himself as this new orleans blow because it's impossible not to ask how much this debate spy by personal grievance spy A need for vengeance because of the way in which that personal relationship breakdown. And i have to say even though it was helpful in a way to hear some of his revelations about exactly what happens you made the you reminded us of the spiderman There was actually quite a lot of movie talking. In the seven hours of evidence you will see recalled. The film independence day when a another senior adviser allegedly came in and said we are absolutely fogged in the way of the Happened when in baited the us in that movie and you really get a sense of specifically toxic combination of on the one hundred thirty two complacency about the extremity of this virus than how serious the response needed today but also author chaos when they did finally realized that they needed to act. But what's frustrating about it. Is that in kind of fooling on his sword in this furrow morality gesture. It does feel a little bit like he left. Boris johnson off the hurt really laid into the machinery of government. Painted a picture that the whole mechanism was incapable of dealing with something like this. There was multiple systems failure which undoubtedly there was and that was already the conclusion of mice observers long before cummings decided to come clean but he in a way by doing that. Didn't really shine the kind of laser lights on boris johnson. That he could have even though. It's quite clear from lots vanik. Thanks he offered. That johnson really does have a very serious case to answer. I mean he revealed the at one point. Boris johnson said this just another swine flu and offered to have it injected into him live on tv racial the public. Which we. I think reveals something of the criminal negligence and failure of of the prime minister. Really the official is meant to display leadership. At a time. Like this i. It was fascinating. There was a lot to unpack. They were layers to really how useful it was and also how credit but it was given. This is a person who much of what he was apologizing for with the unhealthy level of power. He himself had which he seemed perfectly comfortable wheeled at the time he had it so his credibility is limited at best. Yeah yeah i know. It's a bit like when trump's like a personal. Michael cohen gave very damning testimony against him. And it was like well would have been more impactful if you did this little earlier There are two marriages That bush johnson was involved in one liberal and one more metaphorical In the last couple of weeks. I'll serve the actual marriage which is We learned that. The prime minister got secretly married to his fiancee. Kerry simmons in a small ceremony on saturday. She's been something of a controversial figure and parker she oversaw a renovation of the prime minister's downing street flat That was partially paid for by a tory political donor. I don't know what did you make of this kind of secret wedding. And why did these downing street renovations. Kind of seem to touch a nerve with some britain about johnson's kind of larger approach to governing renovations. Just point to the utterly sordid nature of the government. Boris johnson has himself been involved in so many scandals. And i'm sure this is reminiscent of what you went through. During the trump era that is actually hard to shock the public anymore from multiple as Refusing to disclose even how many children he's fathered in his personal life and i'm actually somebody who doesn't really believe that it should be so much emphasis on the personal lives backwards leaders. I would like well which they don't have to consummate counter for their relationships and family in this case where it speaks directly to his integrity. His honesty and his transparency. I think that is quite remarkable. That he's been able to get away with these kinds of emissions and then there is this constant suspicion that he has a very relaxed attitudes to flouting rules about political donations about cozying up to big business and big money. And the fact that he he was cleared of intentional wrongdoing and the report into this renovation of his lap at the report also found that he should have been more careful and i think that really summarizes his attitude but he doesn't really seem to feel the rules apply to him his relationship with carrie. Simmons is relevant to the previous discussion about dominic. Cummings giving evidence because that inquiry this been going on among parliamentarians into the response to covid repeat to be referenced. Her as his girlfriend even though they were actually already engaged and claimed dismissive attitude towards. There's a profound dislike towards by many again who critical of the way in which johnson rules that she has had too much power. She's allegedly being involved in choosing advisors and getting jobs for her friends at the top of government to ongoing atmosphere of nepotism and corruption that pervades the at least the perception of the government..

Then i'm going to talk to the mayor of budapest about his run for prime minister of hungary. And how he plans to take on viktor orban but first let me just note. It was the five hundred episode of pod. Save america so they celebrated that on the drop yesterday. The episode is full of fun games questions from listeners. Old stories no insert before not even me to check it out. Subscribed pods of america wherever you listen to podcasts. And then of course. I'm just going to note Today is the publication day. My book after the fall being american in the world we made and i do want to say one more thing about this. You guys have heard me talk about this a bit but you know. Think my personal journey these last few years to understand what seems to be in the news every day including today's pod wide is the momentum in history seemed to be moving us in the wrong direction away from democracy and to the darker spaces of nationalism and authoritarianism. That's that's what propelled me to go out and write this book and to travel the world and meet some amazing people who are fighting back and have a lot to teach us so i tell the story. Through hong kong protesters people alexei navalny in russia. The hungarian opposition like one of them were going to hear from today. But you all know. I think if you listen to podcasts. Kind of the gist of this book. I on a more personal. When i say i made a choice a few years ago when i was spit out of government and felt the world going to pieces around me in part because of the state of the world to resist the poll of parking myself in dc for the revolving door of politics and government or or jumping to some solis private-sector role. I wanted to be able to have conversations like this. Like i'm going to have off today and above all. I wanted to write books that tried to make sense of the world until stories. That aren't necessarily being told and support the reason that you hear people like me. Ask you to buy book so much to the point that it may be annoying at times is because it's essential to give me this privilege to keep doing what we're doing here to tell these stories to write books that can explore and interrogate ourselves and the world around us in a way that social media doesn't let us and above all for me to interact with an audience of people like you. The people listen to this podcast Who i really as i've said before is the audience. I wrote this book for so if you've resisted the urge to date please pick up a copy at your local bookstore or through one of our ubiquitous online ordering sites. I'd note off. The book is out in britain today to from bloomsbury so yes i have read the book. I was lucky enough again. Proof and i think you just gave so generously of your personal experience. Because i think what we've lived through the political turmoil of philosophy is actually a real challenge trap possible sense of identity and everything we knew about sales at country's political systems are values than those really intimate and challenging questions. Have to ask. And foundations to feel disrupted and i think that when somebody is able to be really open and honest and introspective it just is such a reassuring way to navigate that change and i really felt like you nailed that in your book a lot. I appreciated you'll you'll soul-searching because i think it's something i mean. Speaking for myself. I have such a different life in background. People related to it. And i think that would be so many people's experience and because you just right so we'll send typically about what you have seen and how you've worked make sense of it. I really think how the people will will able to access that. And that's what we need. I think we just need people to be honest. Introspective thoughtful and to show they nicer. I possibly an already greatly for writing it. Well thanks so much for that off. I mean it's funny people. Ask me like what makes you hopeful. That's always a question and to me when you can just recognize like how you're feeling in other people's stories In recognize it. Everybody's kind of wrestling with some degree of trauma a sense of trying to figure out their identities and pretty disorienting world. Like there's hoping that in just people finding that. Hey there's something. I have in common with these people in hungary or hong kong or the uk. So yeah i. I've found that in your writing as well and and really thank you for that.
