The Breakdown
A highlight from Could Oil and a Gov't Shutdown Screw Up Powell's Plans?
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Friday, September 22nd, and today we are talking oil, macro, everything that could throw the economy off. But before we get to that, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link at the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. All right, friends, well, we are sort of continuing the macro story today that we picked up around Powell and the FOMC this week. And one of the questions that Powell was asked was about risks that threatened to knock the economy off course. Two that he mentioned that we're going to spend a little time on today include oil prices and a potential government shutdown. Let's start with oil first. The price of crude oil has steadily increased over the past four months. From a low of around $70 in June, oil reached almost $90 a barrel for the US -based WTI benchmark contract and $95 per barrel and $95 per barrel for international Brent crude earlier this week. The price increase for crude has driven US gas prices back above $3 .80 per gallon, the highest level since last October. Overall, gas prices have ramped up by 20 % since the beginning of the year, according to AAA. Now, there are a number of factors all contributing to steadily increasing oil prices since the June lows. The first is OPEC+. The economic group of oil producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia have recently curbed output. Production cuts, which were agreed to late last year, have been gradually implemented over the past six months. In July, Saudi Arabia voluntarily cut an additional 1 million barrels per day from its production quota, about 10 % of its previous output. Existing production cuts across OPEC have already been extended into next year and analysts expect Saudi Arabia to extend their voluntary cuts until March. On Thursday, Russia further constrained supply by banning the export of diesel and petrol. Russia is one of the world's largest suppliers of diesel alongside their status as producing around 12 % of the global supply of crude oil. The International Energy Agency said last year that Russian refineries produce, quote, roughly double the diesel needed to satisfy domestic demand and typically export half their annual production. Analyst opinions focused on the simplest explanation for the ban, retaliation for sanctions. Henning Gloestien of the Eurasia Group said, Russia wants to inflict pain on Europe and the U .S. and it looks like they're now repeating the playbook from gas and the oil market ahead of the winter months. They're showing that they're not finished using their power over energy markets. The Kremlin said the ban was temporary and aimed at addressing rising energy prices in domestic markets. However, they gave no timeline on when the ban might be lifted. U .S. and European policymakers have largely banned the importation of Russian refined fuel since February, which has required Russian supply to be routed through third party regions including Turkey, North Africa and Latin America. Now, OPEC cuts over the past year were predicated on a weakening demand profile heading into this year. At the time they were announced, recessions were expected across Europe and the U .S. China was an open question with the potential of reopening pushed back in the midst of additional pandemic waves. But since then, the European economy is sputtering along, albeit with dismal manufacturing data out of Germany. The sanctioning of Russian supply has caused European demand to be displaced to other regions with refining capacity, largely India and the Middle East. In the U .S., recession has been continuously pushed off into the future and oil demand is now back at all time highs with no signs of slowing. Although the Chinese economy has hit some turbulence recently, oil demand remains robust. Analysts expect China's oil demand to remain high as Beijing secures strategically important resources. What's more, analysts expect China's oil demand to remain high as Beijing secures strategically important resources in part to mitigate geopolitical risks as well as to shore up its manufacturing and transportation industries. So with oil prices spiking, many are wondering whether the White House will once again intervene in markets using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Between November 2021 and September of last year, the White House authorized a number of SPR releases. The final policy saw one million barrels per day provided into the market over six months. A small amount of oil was restocked earlier this year, but the SPR still sits at a little over half its pre -pandemic level. Earlier this week, a headline circulated proclaiming that quote, Biden says depleting SPR is on the table. This was later found to be a hoax with no legitimate source, but it demonstrates how difficult high oil prices could be for the U .S. economy heading into election season. To wit, many saw the SPR release as a political decision rather than an economic decision heading into the 2022 midterms. In the private sector, U .S. oil inventories have recently hit 40 -year lows of 46 -day supply, well below the longer -term average of 65 days. And while August's inflation reports already showed a small uptick due to oil -related prices, the effect is expected to be more profound across this month. Dario Perkins, an economist at T .S. Lombard said, That said, it is important to keep these recent inflationary developments in context. We are not yet in danger of undoing 12 months of solid disinflationary progress, not even close. Others suggested that high oil prices would have a greater impact on growth rather than inflation. Maya Bhandari, head of multi -asset at BNP Paribas Asset Management said, It really impacts the growth side of the Goldilocks equation rather than the inflation side of things over the long term. Theory is that sustained high oil prices begin to eat into disposable income for households alongside higher costs of production for manufacturing and logistics. These combine to reduce growth and potentially tip the economy into recession. Overall, this situation in the oil markets has, to some, many parallels to the liquid natural gas spike in the winter of 2022. Prices in some markets rose more than tenfold, European energy companies scrambled to secure supply at any cost, and multiple firms went bankrupt due to the volatility in markets. This week, Bloomberg reported that the trading arm of French supplier Total Energies has played a major role in bidding up the price of U .S.-based oil. Their source claimed that the firm is paying a premium for physical U .S. barrels, pushing the spread against futures to levels not seen since last November. With all of that said, there are some signs that the oil market is beginning to cool off. On Thursday, Brent crude futures fell to $92 per barrel, which represented the third straight day of price declines, which is the longest streak in almost a month. Warren Patterson, head of Commodity Strategy at ING, said the Fed's hawkish messaging has quote, put some pressure on risk assets, including oil. The dollar index has risen by 0 .8 % since Chair Powell left the podium, a large enough move to weigh on asset markets. Patterson said he still expects Brent crude to move above the $100 mark in the near term, but that he doesn't anticipate the move will be sustainable. So that is the view on oil overall. The thing that I am definitely going to be watching more than anything else is the political dimension of this. We are now entering the period where everything, even more than usual, is going to be completely wrapped up in what it means for the election season. If prices at the pump keep trending up, it seems very likely that the Biden administration will be willing to do what it takes, including SPR releases, to get those prices down. But that's just something we're going to have to keep an eye on. Now what about that other factor that Powell mentioned? Well yes, indeed, my friends, the US government is once again hurtling towards a shutdown after efforts to pass a short term spending bill were scuttled on the House floor on Thursday. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy attempted to marshal Republicans to vote through a package to keep the government funded past the end of September. Closed door negotiations continued late into Wednesday night, but were apparently unconvincing. The bill currently being considered is the $886 billion Defense Appropriations Act. The bill was stifled in the House after five GOP representatives refused to allow debate to begin by voting against a preliminary procedural rule. Democrats also voted against the measure and appeared to taunt Republicans apparently reveling in seeing the GOP's slim majority descend into chaos. Among the Republican dissenters was Marjorie Taylor Greene, who opposed the inclusion of $300 million in funding to the Ukrainian war effort. On Thursday, Politico reported that Pentagon sources have said Ukrainian operations have been exempted from any shutdown, making that part of the dispute rather moot. McCarthy sent House members home on Thursday night to return to Washington on Tuesday. He told reporters after the failed vote, quote, two people flipped, so I got to figure out how to fix that. That wasn't the impression they had given us. Now, this was McCarthy's third attempt at bringing the bill to the House floor. The current proposal on the table is a 31 -day stopgap funding mechanism to forestall a shutdown to begin next weekend. McCarthy remarked on the change in tone in Congress among that extreme element of the Republican Party, stating that, quote, this is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. Now, even if a 31 -day stopgap is passed in the House, it seems unlikely to make its way through the Democrat -controlled Senate. The bill includes a 30 percent temporary cut to domestic agencies and immigration law changes, neither of which are likely to get the seal of approval from Dems. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said instead of decreasing the chance of a shutdown, Speaker McCarthy is actually increasing it by wasting time on extremist proposals that cannot become law in the Senate. House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries remarked that the situation was playing out as a, quote, Republican civil war. Now, if it comes to pass, this would be the 11th government shutdown since 1980. The logic is that hard -line positions that don't enjoy support in the Congress can be put directly to the American people by shutting down the government and drawing attention to the impasse. Republican Ralph Norman said last week that, quote, we're going to have a shutdown. We believe in what we're doing. The jury will be the country. Still, the record on government shutdowns doesn't really support that strategy. Not one of the 10 previous shutdowns resulted in the dissenting group extracting concessions. Typically, the American people quickly turn on the party they view as blocking access to government services over a petty squabble. Alex Conant, a Republican strategist, said, This is such a dumb fight because there's no principle that we're standing on here. It's just bad tactics. While the dispute is nominally over excessive government spending, with Republican dissenters pushing for funding to be reduced back to 2022 levels, the underlying problem is, of course, the level of discord within the Republican Party. McCarthy was voted in as House Speaker after a record 15 attempts. The process took four days and frequently descended into a farce. This was only the second time in the post -Civil War era that a House Speaker had failed to be elected on the first attempt. Conant noted the terrible optics of a government shutdown of the Republicans' own making heading into election season, stating that, quote, Biden didn't win because of his political skills and soaring oratory. He won because Republicans blew themselves up with Trump. I'm afraid we're seeing history repeat itself, with the GOP once again helping Biden by shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, never one to shy away from controversy, Trump fanned the flames on Wednesday, posting that, quote, Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden's weaponized government that refuses to close the border and treats half the country as enemies of the state. He added that, quote, This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other patriots. They failed on the debt limit they must not fail now. Use the power of the person to defend the country. Now, zooming out and trying to get away from the politics of the situation, which obviously is not the focus of this show. The reason that this was brought up at last week's FOMC press conference is that a government shutdown would halt the publication of government data. This would include employment, inflation and growth statistics, which are currently playing a key role in guiding Fed policy. Now, given how much the Fed has said over and over again, their policy is going to be driven by data, presumably not having access to that data would be a fairly big deal. Yet in spite of that, Powell tried to put on a brave face, saying, If there is a government shutdown and it lasts through the next meeting, then it's possible we wouldn't be getting some of the data that we would ordinarily get and we would just have to deal with that. Now, by way of some history, the longest ever government shutdown lasted 35 days. The dispute was around funding for the border wall and quickly turned public sentiment against the Trump administration. Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate, but the administration failed to convince their own party to fund the wall. At the time, Democrat Senator Jon Tester called it the most stupid shutdown I have ever seen in my life. However, if this week's display is anything to go by, that 2019 shutdown could soon have some competition for that title. Now, what does this all have to do with the crypto sphere? Well, I think in many ways these are just exemplary of the state of politics in general. And given that, perhaps it's not surprising that former Senator Pat Toomey is not optimistic about the chances of crypto legislation being passed during this Congress. Just prior to retiring from Congress at the beginning of the year, Toomey introduced his own crypto bill, which focused on stablecoin regulations. Now, the House currently has two major crypto bills eligible to be brought for a vote. One would establish a stablecoin framework while the other introduces more broad crypto regulations. While speaking at a Georgetown Law Seminar on Thursday, however, Toomey said, I don't see a path forward in the Senate regardless of how the vote goes in the House. He added that of the two, he sees the stablecoin legislation as having the best shot. The sticking point will likely be Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown. While Brown has been outspoken about the risks of crypto and the need to bring the industry to heel, he has so far remained extremely quiet on exactly what form of legislation would meet his approval. And of course, any crypto legislation would need the support of Democratic senators to pass a vote to become law. Still, during an interview on Thursday, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said that she thinks that Brown's lack of commitment to a legislative position might actually be a good thing. Shirzad said, Now, last week, Brown wrote a letter to head regulators at multiple agencies urging them to use their existing powers to crack down on non -compliant crypto firms. This of course seems to be the clear intention, at least at the SEC. On Tuesday, the head of that agency's crypto assets and cyber unit, David Hirsch, warned that more enforcement actions would be coming against crypto intermediaries, including DeFi protocols. Still, Toomey, who serves now as an advisor to Coinbase, views stablecoin legislation as the solvable problem. At the moment, Democrats are pushing for the Fed to serve a central role in regulating issuers rather than granting oversight power to state regulators. This preference is believed to be driven by the White House. Toomey said, He thinks that senior Democrats will get on board once the White House is satisfied with the stablecoin proposal. Although that proposal might have to wait until after the election, as Toomey said in the next Congress, I think it's quite possible to get something done.

"Mother Theresa and Me" With Actress Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz
"Back. It's my privilege to be speaking with the actress and producer Jacqueline Vricci Cornaz. I keep trying. You were just telling us the story of so so this film Mother Teresa and me. There are two storylines. One is the story of Mother Teresa whom you play in the film, but the second storyline involves this girl you were just telling about telling us about named Kavita and so that's happening in a contemporary time. In other words, this is she when she goes to Calcutta and she meets the Sisters of Mercy. She does not meet Mother Teresa because this is years after the passing of Mother Teresa. Exactly. Okay. Exactly. There is one moment actually where Mother Teresa holds her in her arms when she you know took her out of a burning hut. So as a baby Kavita she's in the arms of Mother Teresa, but I don't want to tell more about Kavita because it's it's so interesting. I think for the audiences to discover themselves the whole Calcutta story because and Mother Teresa really changes the life of this young woman. Well, it's interesting you talk about. I don't know how you phrased it, but Mother Teresa was you know putting her faith into action and this is a big thing. The the the great Christian Dietrich Bonhoeffer about whom I've written this was his central idea. If you can boil things down was that unless you're living out your faith, you really don't have faith. You have to live it out. You have to put it into action and in a way when you put your faith into action, it deepens your faith and so it's kind of a conundrum because it's it's the two go together and I think a lot of times the tragedy of many Protestants or evangelicals because I wrote a biography also about Martin Luther is to say it's just faith as though it's this intellectual thing and they forget that I must put it into action. Otherwise, perhaps I have no real faith and so it's an important idea and I'm so I'm excited that in this film you give people an opportunity to see that because that's something that people often think of Christianity as just a series of doctrines or beliefs and that's not right. Well, on one hand, of course, we see Mother Teresa as a Christian as a Catholic nun, but we also feel this universal energy of love because this nanny of Kavita, she says, you know, Hindus, Christians, Muslims, we all need the same love and I think that's the main message of the film because our world needs a lot of love to you know to develop and to overcome all the film doesn't take a position, but it wants to inspire people to live with more love in action.
This Week
Fresh "Burns" from This Week
"As said, the build up to the meeting was dominated by so many kind of graphic images. Libya, the disaster unfolding there after a major storm unleashed devastating floods. Thousands are feared dead tonight. Wildfires are burning in different parts of the continent, including in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Greece. Historic and horrific weather that's just slamming the northeast. 16 cities in Italy are red under alerts for extreme heat. We spoke to the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who's underlining her commitment to the European Green Deal and was quite active on the sidelines in really trying to burnish Europe's credentials and that and maintain that leadership position. So I think that while there are lots of questions in terms of popular support, pushback from voters, climate skeptics quite active on the ground in European politics, the atmosphere in New York and the global sense that this climate crisis is becoming very, very real will really give them a tailwind. Ross, you said earlier that leaders from Middle Eastern nations had been asserting themselves more forcefully

Relationships Within the Industry Are SO Powerful
"Relationships is probably the most powerful thing for me and the relationships that I've created. Some of my best friends that I can open up and talk to about money and all these different things, they are in the industry. And why do I feel so comfortable talking to them? Because they understand me. I might have a buddy that's a lawyer. He's not going to understand me. Relationships within the industry are very powerful. You can brainstorm together. You can talk about what you can do right now. Hey dude, I have this problem. I have no money. I have no sales. And now you can bounce ideas off each other. That is powerful. You can also take it to, let's say you need a thousand plants and you don't have the money right now on the deposit that you grabbed from that job for the thousand, you're using it to pay some type of bills, and now you can link up with someone that'll give you 30 day terms or 60 day terms, 90 days. And now they help you out. That's what relationships do. You have to really take relationships serious. Relationships for me have gotten me out of so many issues. I didn't even need money. I didn't need a paper. I didn't need anything. I've even bought trucks off of people I supply. We didn't even write a paper. It was a shake hands type of deal. What I did was deduct from the delivery, no delivery fee until the truck was paid for. It was done. Why? Because we have a relationship that we trust each other and you can't burn those bridges. You got to keep them open. Always. You should never close any door with nobody. Even the guy that has done you dirty. You need to maintain him as someone that can be a potential client in the future. And if you have some relationships that you're thinking about right now, where you're like, man, I wish I wouldn't have done that man up in column, you had somebody that you owed them money for a long time, you haven't paid the bill. Six months old, you own $2 ,000 and you don't want to call because you know, that's the first thing that's going to pop up, but the guy has something that can create opportunities for you. He has beautiful product at a great price. And now you, you know, you close that door. All it takes is pushing your ego down, picking up the phone, manning up that right there, at least in my eyes, screams to me that someone is changing and someone wants to move forward and you want to bring positivity and you want to create something of an opportunity in a positive way for the future to be bright with that individual. So all you have to do is pick up the phone and say, Hey man, listen, I know you $2 ,000 I'm broke right now. But what I want to start doing that way we can create something in the future is let you know that next month, when I get a little bit more on my feet, I'm gonna start giving you 200 bucks a week. And when you pay him off now, he's not going to treat you the same ever. It might take a while to get there, but now you have at least your foot in the door to get access to what he has. That's just an example. You guys can think of all the other different

A highlight from Renee and Their Labels
"Hey guys, welcome to Mutually Codependent, I'm Jen. And I'm Adam. And today we have a very special guest. Welcome Renee to the show. Hello. Hello. Hello. Should we get a little button so we could have like applause? Yeah, a little soundboard. Yeah, yeah. It's lonely in my head without that stuff. It's much quieter with meds. So Renee is the store manager for our Round Rock store. They are affiliated with our store. So it's not just a random person, but that's cool. It would be weird. Store manager Round Rock, how long? It's been over a year, April. April is a year late manager being here. Oh, being manager. No, I made manager in December last year. Yeah. So when I started working from home. Yeah. It was around that time. But you've been with us a year and a half. Yeah. Yeah. It's goes by so fast these days. I really felt like the other day was just like, oh, it's Renee's one year anniversary. No, it's that's a while away now. I think you started the end of March. So there's the strain of the show so that we have the the justification for the smoking, which I already started. Hold on. Hold on. I got. Oh, that was the box of matches falling. Renee's too Renee's good for the lighters. I taste the butane. I don't know how to also describe it. I had a friend who turned me on to using matches. You wait for the little little bulb to burn. You wait till it gets to the wood and it's virtually tasteless. So I started using matches a lot more since you came over the first time. But I did think that it was funny because we had this like disco. Oh, yeah, you can taste the butane. I'm like, oh, I know what I'd like to do to avoid the taste of butane in my mouth. I'd like to make sure there's at least four or five seconds of very sharp sulfur in my nose before. Because because that's better. I mean, what is these days? What is what is? I just always I make the mistake of lighting the match when it's right under my nose. So if I were to just fix that, it's it's the sort of you try. You strike it away from yourself. I had to learn the hard way to where I was just like, whoo. Shit. Well, we aren't supposed to like the smell of matches lighting. Well, not right under your nose and not as a replacement for the subtle taste of butane. I mean, but I think it's like cilantro. If you taste it, you taste it. If you don't, you don't. So I'm not judging. I'm just being a shit. I mean, when you're not. So what we're what we're smoking straight to the show, the strain of the show today is jelly rancher. Um, jelly rancher. This is brought to you by actually, I think this is hemp living. Hemp living. There we go. It's one of the brands that we sell in the store and it is available online, I believe, as well. Jelly rancher is known as a sativa. That is 26 percent THC, a considered a sativa dominant hybrid. It's been described as happy, giggly, focused feeling with notes of berries and citrus. Beta -cariophalina is the main terpene, which is the same terpene that's in black pepper and cinnamon. It's it's a little peppery. Did you just fucking? I just dropped my cherry on the. You just dumped your cherry into the ashtray. I didn't mean to. Incense, incense. So scoop it up. Scoop it up. I don't know if that's possible. So don't don't use your finger. We have tools. We're humans. We have a lot of lead. If you know that one dies, you can just like your pre -roll. We'll probably do that. Stoners. Hey, one problem at a time. Yeah, if anything, we're we're true engineers. True engineers. Well, you said did I show you the pictures of those like super old like methods of smoking? No, that I found when I was doing the research for the Bastrop thing. No, it's pretty fucking cool. Yeah, it's basically they they carved out a hole in a. Like a like a log, I guess. And they would heat up rocks and put the rocks on the cannabis, so they'd stuff the hole full of cannabis. Like imagine it was like, I don't know, a couple inches in diameter. Like golf ball would fit in it. Right. And it was like a segment of a branch with the golf ball size hole pulled out of it. Shove a bunch of weed in there and then take stones that were heated from the fire and drop them on top. Yeah. So they were literally vaping it. Yeah. It was like old old school vaping technique. Does remind me of the time when I was actually first introduced to weed. It was at a party. And they smoked through an apple. I've done that. Yeah, they cut a hole top and bottom, put some foil on it and and went to town. I mean, I didn't smoke because I was a goody two shoes back then. But, you know, we change. We evolve. Yeah. You know, the thing about people is we can change our beliefs based on our experiences. Yeah. Truly pattern seeking if we choose to. I saw a guy in TikTok the other day smoke weed out of a headrest from a car and a car like still. Yes. And so, yeah, like he took it off. He opened he put he put his weed like down the hole of the metal on one side. Like it was his joint. So he put his joint down one side, like down. And then he just I don't something how he like breathed in through the other side and he was able to smoke. How carcinogens many do you think it was so stupid? So the headrest, oh, the head rest of your car, pulling off the headdress the two holes are and using the actual chair itself, because that sounds like a great idea to be a car made in the 70s full of asbestos. His friend was like, if you were a loved one who suffers from mesothelioma, I miss my popcorn ceilings, OK? Oh, we have popcorn ceiling looked up, actually. So we have modern popcorn ceiling. So it's not as best as terrible. I just think it's fine. I just see you look up as soon as I say that. Oh, somebody was talking about it before and she was like, was it Jackie telling us to get rid of it? I don't know. You got to get rid of your popcorn. I was like, no, then it echoes. And they're like, yeah, but it's OK. No, it's not. No, we're good. We don't own this house. So we put together a list of things to talk about. Yeah, I guess we could read it. Well, we could just kind of go through it. Yeah, we could keep the audience on edge. Keep them on edge. Hey, are you on edge? Stormy. Stormy. Lily Reagan.

Fresh update on "burns" discussed on The Rev & The Rabbi
"The marijuana problem. President Biden refused to meet with Mayor Adams and then he met with Governor Hochul and declared the automatic Americans as immigrants. What's the right name? Basically, you know, they're entitled to work for you just right away. They think they can be hired. They can get jobs right away. And the fact is, they came in the country illegally. There's thousands of them here they're and jumping the line of other people who are waiting to come in illegally, stay here illegally. even And though they say it only applies to people who came before July 31st, this has to look like an incentive illegal immigrants. You see this. So people who think of being illegal immigrants, they can get in the country, they ask for asylum, and basically they end up staying forever and they can take jobs, jobs which some Americans might want, and certainly immigrants will come in illegally to be looking for. And yet they, for whatever reason, whatever philosophical reason, the present reason, people like the governor and certainly the president who has opened up the borders, are to, able in their mind, are able to justify allowing these people to stay here. Also, John, what we see with that is just a breakdown in regards to the law. And as you said, he would need the president to not meet with the mayor. Now, you or I could disagree with the mayor on certain things, but he is the mayor. And the fact is that he is the legal representative of New York and New York is being overwhelmed. New York City is being overwhelmed with the migrant issue, the migrant problem, with all of the issues that go with it. And yet, the president who created this problem wouldn't even meet with the mayor, who is the one who has to deal with it. So while I've been critical and you've been critical of the way the mayor was handled all this, the fact is that if he doesn't get help from the president, he's not going to be able to put it all, he's not going to be able to resolve it. So this to me was a real slap in the face by the president to Mayor Adams, and no matter what political party we're in, we shouldn't stand with the mayor. That the president should have met with him. Now what we see down in Staten Island, and to me it's really unfortunate because you have I the right was being pushed into good, quiet, residential neighborhoods and causing the people to rise up and to fight back. Then they end up basically in disputes and arguments with the police. We're just doing their job there. So we can't allow ourselves to be divided by this progressive policy which is harmful to everyone, and certainly harmful to people in those communities. I mean you have a good family community -oriented in Staten Island, and to have people just pushed in and dropped in, citizens' homes and schools and everything else is just so damaging. So you had all of that, plus the crime issue in New York. We had a case just the other day where some guy hit a homeless person with a baseball bat, hit him in the head with a baseball bat, knocked him down as the guy was walking down the street, and the judge just let him out. He's not going to spend his day in jail. This is absolute disgrace. What kind of signal a is that? So there's a lot going wrong, and the Yankees and the Mets are not going to make the World Series. So right now it's not too optimistic, but Johnny, you always say we have to try to be optimistic and go forward. We are still. We've got the number one city in the world. That's all we've got to keep it that way. Keep so many people with money from moving out, and the revenue base leaving, housing being depleted, all of these things really have to be addressed and unfortunately they're not being addressed. What else would you like to talk about? Did we talk about Governor Hochul has signed a bill that I don't think it's legal mailing ballots in instead of going to vote. First of all, I believe it does violate the state constitution, but to me, you always have to make sure that people vote on election day. That means they've seen the entire campaign, they've informed you to vote, and by going there on election day, people know that their vote is an honest vote, and no one is filing a vote until you vote. Now, having said that, we've always had an absolutely valid program in New York, but if you have a reason why you can't be there on election day, where you're going to be in sick or you're going to be traveling, you're going to be away, then you can apply for absentee ballots, that makes sense, but to be giving basically everyone the right to vote absentee, that leaves yourself open to corruption, to harvesting your votes, for local clubs for going around, clubs signing people up to vote, having people vote, and then mailing them in, it goes against the democratic system in a small d, and also it lends itself either to corruption itself or people thinking that corruption is happening, because again, there's nothing like going there, checking in at the desk, clear, guessing your vote on election day, rather than a month or so before just it mailing in, mailing in a ballot that maybe the local Democrat or Republican leader gave to you, so no, this is, this lends itself to corruption, and again, whether I like it or not or support it or not, the is, reality I believe it violates the same constitution. Congress, from Peter King, thank you for everything done you've for our country and continue to speak out for our country, and we'll catch up with you again real soon. See you tomorrow on Monday night, thanks a lot. Take care, bye bye. With us today is Steve Kates, otherwise known as Dr. Sky, and he's with us every Sunday morning to make us look up in the sky and see the mysteries of what's going on. Steve, what's going on this weekend? Well, morning, good John, and to all the listeners of the Cat's Roundtable, here's something interesting. We begin with the sun, of course, and a special probe that we haven't heard much about. Something called the Parker Solar Probe launched toward the sun in August of 2018. Why is this important? Well, this probe has gotten within 5 .7 million miles of the sun. I'm surprised, John, how it hasn't burned up. That's the great technology. But it's the fastest object that humans have ever put on into space. Because the sun's gravity is 28 times whatever we would weigh on Earth and the spacecraft, it's going about 430 ,000 miles an hour, which is still 0 sun's gravity is now 0 .064 % the speed of light. But that's not the most important part. It's actually gotten into one of those big CME, coronal mass ejections, and it's discovered with the sun's gravity. When the sun's energy hits the Earth and the CME has hit the Earth, economists have said, John, that if we get a really big one, the cost to our economy and the world would be $41 billion a day in damage as it would hit the grid and all of our assets. So this is an amazing solar probe, but imagine what the damage would be of one of those CMEs if it was super strong, that it's probably predicted in the future to be. Well, the sun is a true big. We're not going to, I'm sure it's going to keep going for another billion years, give or take large, a 100 million, which is funny. In my mind, I guess my IQ not large enough, not larger than Einstein. I can't imagine how it burns almost for perpetuality. That's incredible because every second we talk about this crazy number. Imagine if we had to pay for this fuel, about 800 million tons of hydrogen a second, transforming it into maybe 760 million tons of helium. You're right, John. That's been going on for 4 billion years. Let's keep our fingers crossed. But what happened with the Parker Solar Probe, what made this discovery as it gets in toward coronal this mass ejection interesting is that these CMEs suck up dust from the entire solar system and kind of propel it out in the solar wind, which is totally amazing. But this is just crazy stuff. the I mean, science is just amazing.
Postcards to the Universe with Melisa
Meet Rebecca Whitman, The Magnetic Abundance Mentor
"So I wanna talk to my guest today because everything I talk about each week in the beginning of my show, Rebecca and I are gonna be talking about today. So Rebecca Whitman, she is called the Magnetic Abundance Mentor. I love that. She's an international best -selling author. She graduated with honors from Princeton University. She was awarded Life Coach of the Year and Empowered Woman of the Year by International Association of Top Professionals. LA Weekly Magazine featured her as one of the top seven entrepreneurs to watch in 2023. She hosts the top 1 .5 % globally ranked, balanced, beautiful, and abundant podcasts, which won the Positive Change Award. Her philosophy divides life into seven pillars of abundance, which include spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial. She helps people achieve balance within these seven areas so that they can experience more fun and freedom in life. She has been featured in New York Weekly, Miami Magazine, and LA Weekly Magazines. In addition to her appearances on ABC and CBS, she has guested on over 100 podcasts. She has given keynote speeches at Columbia University and UCLA and has shared virtual stages with renowned thought leaders Grant Cardone, Jack Canfield, and Les Brown. You can find out more about her if you visit her website. It's RebeccaElizabethWhitman .com. Welcome, Rebecca. Thanks so much for being here with me. Thank you so much, Melissa. I'm so excited to be on your show with such a delight to have you on my show a couple weeks ago, and now we get to continue the conversation. Exactly, yeah. So I was on Rebecca's show on her podcast, The Balance Beautiful and Abundant Show, and it aired August 29th. And you guys who are listening, you can find it on any of the podcasting platforms, Apple, whatever you listen to, Spotify, Google, and yeah, you can listen to the show. And it's also, it's on YouTube too, right, Rebecca? I think you're on YouTube also. Yep, YouTube as well as Apple, Spotify, and all the podcast platforms. Absolutely. It was so much fun. It was so much fun. So yeah, so now she's here. So let's talk about you and like what got you into this kind of this abundance mindset, like starting to do this kind of work? What made you want to do it? Were you always doing this your whole life or is this something that you kind of fell into or came to, I should say? Yeah, I moved to Los Angeles 22 years ago to pursue my childhood dream of being an actress. And I had small parts on huge shows like Friends, CSI, and 24, and I never got that big break. So I supported myself at children's acting schools and the children were busy during the day at school. So I would attend spiritual lectures with great teachers of the law of attraction like Michael Beckwith, Esther Hicks, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, and I started applying it to my life and I got immediate results. I was making six figures working part time at a kid's acting school. And I didn't quite apply it as well to my love life. I had a series of really painful breakups with emotionally unavailable men. And I even married one thinking he would change. Three years later, I filed for divorce and my marriage was slowly and painfully unraveling as my dad was slowly and painfully dying in a nursing home. And in one of our last conversations, he asked me to write a book. And a few months later, my dad had made his transition and my marriage had dissolved and I was sitting across the desk from my financial planner. And he said, Rebecca, I find it interesting that you are making more money than you've ever made the same year that you lost your marriage and your father. And I think you should write a book. So I wrote a book based on the seven key areas of life, which I now call the seven pillars of abundance, and it's called How to Make a Six Figure Income Working Part Time. And now I help women go from burned out to balanced, beautiful, and abundant. And using these principles, I'm now happily married to my soulmate. And now I just coach women. I have the podcast and I just love this mission, teaching people they don't have to be burned out and overwhelmed to receive abundance in life.

"Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxas show sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit Legacy PM investments dot com. That's Legacy PM investments dot com. Ladies and gentlemen, looking for something new and original, something unique and without equal. Look no further. Here comes the one and only Eric Metaxas. Folks, welcome to the program. I am so excited right now I could burst almost literally, but not literally. I have on a friend, Neil Mammon, who is involved in something that I've been talking about for some time. It's really exciting. So I before tell you all about it, why don't I just say welcome, Neil Mammon. Thank you. Good to be here again. OK, we're going to be talking about something. I can't believe it exists. I feel like I dreamt it up, but nobody would ever execute such a thing. But you and Roger Elswick. Have made this a reality, this is a big deal, this is an answer to a real problem we have, I say everywhere I go that folks, if you're going to a church that is not dealing with the issues in our culture, that is unwilling to face this and that is whistling in the wind, that is fiddling while Rome burns, you need to find another church. I say this over and over and I beg people, God will judge you for sitting in a church that is shrinking from its duty before God to speak to these issues. And then the question is, people say, well, where would I go to a church? So, Neil, tell us. Well, the problem is really, really obvious. And I get that all the time. I go around speaking. People go, oh, do you know a good church in this or that area? Well, it turns out that more than that, it turns out one point seven million people look for a new church every month. One point seven people look for a new church billion million. And now if you assume that's a family unit here or there, that's about five million people looking for a new church every month. Most of them turns out it's Sunday morning. So I wanted to do some research on it. So I went on, you know, that the source of all information is Google's barred artificial intelligence. And I said, tell me what sort of churches these people are looking for. And Bard comes back with, oh, they're looking for progressive, more loving, more accepting churches. That's what Google said. And I said, really, is that true? I don't believe that. So I said, give me the information. Give me the evidence of that. By the way, before I start, I should mention this. I have a statistics. I want a statistic. I want your readers. I don't want you to guess because you'll know the answer. Here's a quote. Only 17 percent of Americans go to church. The interest in religion is minimal. And in New York, single women are more likely to be sexually active than attend the church. Worse, 33 percent of all pregnancies in New York are out of wedlock.

We talk all about the best advanced nutrition strategies to reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. There's a lot of things you can do if you are looking to lose weight, if you're looking to improve your blood sugar sensitivity. We know insulin resistance is at the root of all chronic inflammatory conditions, but there's a lot we can do from a nutrition perspective. We go through that in this interview. I talk a lot about intermittent fasting and how that helps improve mitochondrial function, helps improve blood sugar stability and turn on fat burning. We talk about how to improve your stomach acid, bile flow, pancreatic enzymes, so you can reduce the amount of endotoxins that are released from your gut and into your bloodstream that drive up inflammatory activity in your body. So this is a really powerful presentation showing you exactly what you need to do to stabilize your blood sugar, to burn fat for fuel and reduce inflammation. If you know anybody that's dealing with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, perhaps they're overweight looking to lose weight or they're obese, please share this episode with them.

So with Dr. David Jockers, we're going to introduce him in just a moment here. He's a doctor of natural medicine and runs one of the most popular natural health websites online in drjockers .com and has gotten over a million views for monthly visitors and his work is really popular. It's been seen on shows like The Dr. Oz Show and Hallmark Home and Family. He's the author of the best -selling book, The Keto -Metabolic Breakthrough and also The Fasting Transformation. He's a world -renowned expert in the area of ketosis, fasting, brain health, inflammation and functional nutrition. He also hosts his popular Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition podcast. Be sure to look up his work, check out what that he's offering. Dr. Jockers, welcome to our summit. Thanks so much, Dr. Beverly. Great to be on with you. Yeah. You know, I've really been excited for our talk because I think that there are so many ways in which people can eat and nourish themselves and some things are certainly more helpful or successful when it comes to blood sugar control and glycemic regulations than others. So with that in mind, let's dig in right away here. So please, if you would share with us your perspective here, what is inflammation and how does it develop? Yeah. Inflammation is just a natural process of healing. In fact, it's actually designed to help protect our body from some sort of chronic systemic infection and so, well, not chronic infection, but some sort of systemic acute infection from killing us quickly. And so I think we look at the history of mankind. More people have died from infections that got into our bloodstreams, bloodstreams spread throughout our body, went into major vital organs and killed us is what used to kill most of our ancestors. And so our body has created this inflammatory process to help protect against that. So the infection that gets in doesn't get into our lungs and cause pneumonia or our nervous system and cause meningitis. And so in order to do that, we created this inflammatory process to keep basically infection under control. And it's also part of the healing process. We break down damaged tissue and we try to remove that in order to build new healthy tissue. So for example, if we sprain our ankle, we're going to break down that tissue and try to rebuild new healthy tissue in that area. So inflammation itself is life saving. The issue is that it should be turned off when the appropriate area is healed. And so in our society, we have certain vectors that are turning up inflammation. For example, one is called leaky gut, right? So when somebody has leaky gut, there's damage, micro damage to the intestinal lining. And every time that person's eating food, particularly food that causes more gut irritation, they are further tearing that gut lining and they're not really allowing their body to heal properly. And therefore, they're spewing out bacteria and endotoxins into their bloodstream through that lining, through that hole. And that's driving up inflammation in the body because the body thinks that it's under attack from some sort of systemic infection or some sort of basically infectious process that could be life threatening. And so we've got to do what we can to get inflammation under control in our society. And so I think about it like a fire in a fireplace. You know, if the fire is on in the fireplace, it's great. It warms the house. You know, it creates a great environment, an ambiance. However, when we dump gasoline on the fire, right now it spreads on the walls and starts to burn our home. And obviously that's when it's a major issue. And so in our society, we have lifestyle habits that are dumping gasoline on the fire and causing us to burn up our home. And we just don't really understand it. We don't realize that's actually what we're doing to our body. And then we later, you know, after doing this for years and years and years, we get diagnosed with the chronic disease. But this is many years of chronic inflammation, damaging cells, tissues and organ systems of our body leading to, you know, that disease diagnosis. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you for laying that out so clearly. You know, it's so interesting in clinical work, sometimes it comes up. People are like, this just happened to me overnight, thinking that their body has attacked them or betrayed them and that their diagnosis has come on all of a sudden when in reality, nope, this was years in the making. So thank you so much for pointing that out for us. So anyone listening to this, if you have an inflammatory problem, please know. It took time for it to develop and it will take some time for it to heal. The good news is, if healing is possible, that it's likely to be a lot faster compared to the silent onset process. It's like too bad. It would be great if our body, as we get more and more inflamed, gave us a sound or a noise or maybe we turned polka dotted or something so we can know that something's going on here, you know? Yeah, for sure. And many times people do have chronic symptoms that are giving them a warning sign. And we just ignore it in our society, right? It's kind of like a check engine light goes on in our car. Typically we know, okay, I need to bring this in and get it looked at. But in our society, if we have headaches, chronic headaches, if we have chronic gut pain, if we have chronic joint pain, if we have skin rashes, acne, eczema, if we are gaining weight and we try some lifestyle strategies and we're just not losing weight, if we're gaining weight and we can go on and on, in our society, oftentimes the first thing we do is we go right to some sort of medication or we try to just ignore it. It's like we just let the check engine light stay on or we take some duct tape and just kind of stick it over it and pretend that everything's okay with the car. And that's really what we're doing. We're not actually getting to the root cause. Exactly. So that brings me to my very next question for you, which is this. What are some of the root causes of inflammation and how can this be measured quantitatively with lab testing? So when we look at root causes of chronic inflammation, one, and this is what you're really addressing in this summit, is a diet and lifestyle that is not right, right? So high blood sugar and insulin resistance, primarily driven by the food that we're consuming and lack of exercise, right? Lack of movement, food that we're consuming, obviously stress plays a role. So high stress, poor sleep hygiene and poor sleep quality. Sleep quality is super important. We've got to make sure we're sleeping really well when we are sleeping, but also proper hygiene when it comes to sleep. That plays a big role with our sleep quality. For example, shift workers, they might sleep eight or nine hours, but because they're sleeping at the wrong hours that are not right with, you know, humans, natural circadian rhythm or we're supposed to be sleeping at night, they tend to have higher levels of blood sugar and insulin resistance compared to people that are sleeping the same amount of hours and working kind of a normal shift and then sleeping overnight. So those are major factors. And then beyond that, we have things like chronic infections. So we know that when we have different infections, whether it's a candida overgrowth in our gut, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, H. pylori infections in our stomach, parasite infections, Lyme disease, things like that, that all drives up inflammatory processes in our body. Chronic overload of toxicity. All of us are exposed to chemicals in our air, water and food. So all of us have levels of toxicity coming into our system. But if our drainage and detoxification pathways are working properly, we should be eliminating a good amount of those and keeping our toxic bucket under control. And so we all have kind of like a toxic threshold. And so if we keep things under that threshold by keeping, you know, by limiting our exposure to toxins and then by allowing our body to detox and drain effectively, then, you know, that doesn't drive inflammation. However, if we're consuming lots of toxins from the food, we eat the air, we breathe the things we're putting on our skin, the water we're drinking, and then we're not doing things to help improve our lymphatic system, our liver, our gut, our kidneys. Right. We're not we're not peeing. You know, we should be urinating. Right. We should be peeing out toxins. We should be breathing them out. So respiration, perspiration, that's sweating, urination and defecation. Right. So we should be peeing, pooping, breathing. And sweating out these toxins. If we're not doing that, then our toxic load goes up, goes over that threshold, drives inflammation in the body. So toxicity is a big factor. You know, I mentioned stress. There can also be things like post -traumatic stress disorders. Right. So where somebody's had major trauma and their body never really recovered from that trauma and they're kind of reliving that trauma. Maybe somebody that was a war veteran or perhaps they were sexually abused or something along those lines. Right. They may relive those traumas on a regular basis, driving up inflammation in the body. So all of these things need to be addressed and and considered. Somebody might be living in a mold toxic house, right, breathing in mold and mycotoxins on a daily basis. They're trying to live a healthy lifestyle, but they're constantly overloading their their system with toxins. And so we've got to be able to look at all of those factors and make sure that we're addressing those to keep inflammation under control. Now, when we're measuring inflammation on labs, there's some easy labs that we can look at. You know, you can get done on blood work. For example, one of the most common is high sensitivity C reactive protein. CRP is a protein that our body, our immune system produces in response to inflammation. And, you know, so long as you don't get a false negative, like if you work out really intensely right before you get your blood test done, your CRP will be through the roof. That's actually a healthy level of inflammation, because after we exercise, we have inflammation to help our body heal and recover. So normally you want to not work out roughly 48 hours before getting the test done, ideally at least 24 hours. So you get the right measurement and your HSCRP should ideally be under one and really as close to zero as possible. And so typically it's not flag tie unless it's up over two or three, somewhere in that range. But anything over one is a sign that there's underlying inflammation there. And that's something that we definitely want to look at and address. So that's a big factor. You know, I know in this in this summit, I'm sure you've got people talking about things like hemoglobin A1C. We know hemoglobin A1C, that's a sign of the glycation process or basically when a sugar molecule binds to a major protein, like in this case, when it binds to hemoglobin, major protein that helps bring oxygen to the cells in the body and denatures the hemoglobin. And so it causes a sticky protein process. So we should have ideally like the optimal range really is is really under under 5 .2 on the hemoglobin, 5 .2 percent under. And so typically in our society, nothing is flagged until it's up over six, up over six percent. I like to keep mine under five, right? Between four point five and five. Some are in that range to make sure that my hemoglobin, my red blood cells have great capacity to bring oxygen to the cells so I can create the cellular energy I need to really thrive. So hemoglobin A1C is a really good marker. There's another one actually that you can test, too. It's it's it's called a novel marker for systemic inflammation. It's called GlycA, right? And so it's also a marker of glycosylation and again, a sugar molecule binding to proteins. In this case, GlycA looks at proteins particularly involved in the immune system. And so when that's elevated, I like to see it between one hundred and three hundred. Some are in that range, more closer to one hundred when it's up over three hundred. We know that's a sign of systemic inflammation. In fact, there are some individuals that will have normal HSCRP, but we'll see the GlycA elevated. And so that's a really good it's a novel marker. They've just been doing a number of studies on that, really starting just in the last five years. Very interesting marker. We know, for example, statin drugs will have a cholesterol lowering medications can have a mild anti -inflammatory effect that may bring CRP down, but they don't bring GlycA down. Whereas a lot of lifestyle strategies that you're talking about on the summit will help bring both of those markers down. And so that's a that's a really important thing to be looking at. Another key marker is LDH, lactate dehydrogenase, which is part of our natural energy, you know, our glycolysis and Krebs cycle. It's kind of a Krebs cycle glycolysis intermediary enzyme. And so when that's elevated, it's a sign that there's inflammation, particularly heart tissue related as well as liver. Right. Could be related to liver. And speaking of liver, liver enzymes are another really good marker. So when we're seeing liver enzymes like ALT, AST, GGT, when these when these are elevated up over roughly up over 25, that's a sign that there's inflammation affecting the liver cells. And then based on the ratios, for example, if ALT is real high, AST is kind of in the normal range, roughly 10 to 25 in that normal range. We know that inflammation is really affecting the liver when AST is high and ALT is more in the normal range or a lot lower than AST. We start thinking about that inflammation affecting muscle tissues or affecting the heart in particular. So that's a key marker for that. When GGT is real high up over 25 again and the AST and ALT are lower than the GGT, then we start thinking about biliary tree, gallbladder, bile ducts, that region. So it kind of helps us understand more of where that inflammation may be located. So these are just some of the markers. You know, if you get a good a good look, you know, you can also look at just a lipid panel, like where you're looking at your LDL, which is considered the bad cholesterol, your triglycerides, your HDL levels. We like to see the triglyceride to HDL ratio. If there was one thing I was going to look at on a lipid panel, I think all the markers can have some importance. We can get some good clinical data from all those markers. But if there was one marker I think is most important to look at, it would be the triglyceride to HDL ratio. So how many triglycerides, which are basically free fatty acids that our body can use as an energy source that are circulating in the bloodstream versus the high density lipoproteins, which are a carrier molecule that helps bring fats, lipids, all different types of molecules back to the liver from the cells. And so when we're looking at that ratio, we ideally should be under two. So under two parts triglyceride to HDL, roughly close to one. And that kind of close, as close to one as possible, one part triglyceride, one part HDL, like to see that triglyceride level certainly under a hundred. OK, and we look at that. That is a key marker for insulin resistance and inflammation. If your triglyceride to HDL ratio is up over two, if your HDL is under 50, you know, triglycerides are up over a hundred. You know, definitely a sign of insulin resistance and inflammation taking place in the body as long as the test is done fasting. Right. We always want to make sure with the lipid panel definitely can be affected if we eat a meal right before we we get that lab done. But that's a really key marker to look at and helps us understand how well our body's responding to getting nutrients into the cells. So when triglycerides are real high, we're not good at burning fat for fuel. We've got all these extra fats out in the cell or outside in the bloodstream. And those fats can become denatured and cause more reactive oxygen species and drive up oxidative stress and inflammation in the system. So all very important markers to be looking at. A lot of these tests are not expensive, but glyca is a little bit more pricey. But most of the other ones you can easily get from your physician. Just go in, ask for the high sensitivity, high sensitivity to your reactive protein, lipid panel, liver enzymes. Right. They'll run all of those. And then one other marker that we should look at as well as vitamin D levels are 25 hydroxy vitamin D. A lot of research out showing that levels on certainly under 30 nanograms per milliliter, where you're you're the lab will actually flag you as deficient, you know, linked with all cause mortality. So if you have levels under 30, you're all cause mortality, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative condition. We talk about any sort of chronic disease and then dying of anything goes up. Right. So it's really easy actually to bump that up. Ideally, we do it by getting in the sun. However, most of us just not getting enough sunshine. We may not be living in an area where the sun's going to impact us in a significant way to get the vitamin D if we're up. Let's say we live in Canada, we live in Maine, we live in these northern climates. It's going to be harder to get enough vitamin D from the sun. But if we are in a you know, even if we are in that location, like in the summer months, trying to get as much sun on as much of your body as possible. Obviously, you don't want to burn. But outside of that, trying to get the sunshine is key. Sun offers a lot more benefits than just a vitamin D supplement. However, taking a vitamin D supplement as well can be really helpful. I usually recommend about a thousand international units per twenty five pounds of body weight taken with meals you do at one or two doses, depending on how much of that you need. And that will definitely get your vitamin D levels up. You want to test every three to six months or so and kind of look at where you're at. Ideally, I like to see it up over 60 nanograms per milliliter, usually not concerned about overdosing. The research shows that as long as you keep it really under about 150 nanograms per milliliter, you won't deal with any sort of, you know, toxicity, vitamin D toxicity. It's really hard to get it up over 150, although it can be done if you're taking like 50 ,000 units every single day. So if you're taking roughly five, 10, 15 ,000 units every day, you're probably going to optimize your vitamin D and do really well. And so those would be some of the key labs I would definitely recommend. All right, great, thank you for that list of people listening, friends, you know, here in the audience, please do take out your notes, get your paper and pen ready, or if you're keeping a Google doc or however you're keeping track and look at this list because it'll be helpful to you to help guide your own health and be aware. And you may find you're already working with a doctor who's doing these kind of testing. It's not time to time to up level. Hey, I just wanted to interrupt this podcast to tell you about my cell liposomal glutathione. This is an amazing product because our modern world is toxic. No matter how health conscious you try to be. The truth is that every single day you and I are being bombarded by harmful toxins and stressors, things like EMF, 5G, heavy metals, chemicals, processed foods and the like. And when left to roam free, these toxins take on the form of something called free radicals. Free radicals promote an unhealthy inflammatory response and contribute to oxidative on damage the cellular level. This is kind of like the browning of an apple. This is happening inside of our bodies at all times, and it's potentially leading to premature aging, a lower quality of life and a range of health problems. But the good news is that we can fight back with antioxidants and they are crucial in combating free radicals and keeping you on track. And one of the most powerful antioxidants known to man is glutathione. You see, glutathione fights free radicals and molecules that cause cellular damage while repairing the DNA and flushing out toxins. The only thing about glutathione is that not all supplements are created equal. You want a kind of glutathione that has optimal absorption capacity. And that is why I love the Pureality Health My Cell Liposomal Technology, which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream. And it's proven to be 800 percent more efficient than other forms of glutathione. And even better, this is backed by a 180 day money back guarantee. And today we have a 30 percent off coupon for you.

Discussions of Truth
A highlight from OUTCAST by Gloria Giorno
"Seek and Destroy that has been the theme of discussions of truth now for well I'm in my seventh season here and we started the show on Wynwood radio in Miami 2016 is when I agreed to do the show with them aired the first episode January of 2017 this is Ian Trottier here and today we are going to start talking if you are not familiar with the name Charlotte Iserbit she passed away about a year and a half ago she's a former advisor to the Department of Education under Ronald Reagan her story is very interesting and captivating because she talks about having received a list of these Skull and Bones members via mail that was sent to her father who was a Skull and Bones member at Yale and Anthony Sutton was hot on that trail so two names that you should familiarize yourself with and that is Charlotte Charlotte's work and that is the deliberate dumbing down of America she talks about the invasion of the American education system and that having been formalized under Jimmy Carter back in 1979 Department of Education so she talks about that through her book and then also what I was talking about was Anthony Sutton calling her being hot basically on the trail of dissecting the corruption that is it's really manipulation because Ella Hugh Yale was a major stockholder a main president of the British East Indies trading company that is a Rothschild controlled trading company and the Rothschild funded the American Revolution so I may be off here ladies and gentlemen but if you look at the flag that was flown above the John Paul Jones excuse me the USS Alfred commandeered by John Paul Jones on the Delaware that basically started the American Revolution that flag is basically identical to the British East Indies company flag and then that you trace that and you go back to Cambridge Massachusetts and something called the flag committee which is Continental Congress approved Washington Franklin adopted what became the first flag of the United what became known as the United States and that was the US Grand Union flag which as being designed by Betsy Ross that is the US Grand Union flag which is identical to the British East Indies company flag because that is where the financing came to fund Washington's army and then you ask well wait a second that's English and well yeah this it is English but it's not English because London the city of London is not technically part of England it is its own banking it's sovereign nation a Roman banking colony still in existence these are all facts and you can cross -check them but anyway so seek and destroy corruption that is how I that is that is how I theme my discussions my conversations my talks it's what I do in Trottier with discussions truth today we're gonna talk about the Department of Education rather the state of the education system in the United States so quickly before we bring the guests on we'll be we'll be talking to Gloria Giorno and her son Stevie and getting their view as conservatives what it's been like for Stevie to go through I think it's Belmont University as a conservative so without further ado thanks for tuning in for the podcast on and we're bringing on Gloria and Stevie right now calling Laurie and Stevie this is Ian Trottier for Discussions of Truth Gloria hi nice to meet meet you and welcome to Discussions of Truth I've looked at some of the work that you're you've excellent hi Stevie so thanks for for joining the the the show and please give listeners an introduction to who you are Gloria you can start tell listeners who you are what you what you do and then and then Stevie you can do the same please I try to destroy a young conservative and I also did a nonprofit the name of it is United Women Foundation what we do is mentor employ aid and young conservative women who are in Stevie's situation and we also give out scholarships to conservatives who are not in need of a scholarship but who are conservatives and who are promoting the conservative agenda in their lives thank you Gloria and that's United Women Foundation calm I'll go ahead and put a link to that in the episode Stevie go ahead and introduce yourself for us please well thank you very much for having us on my name is Stevie Giorno and I serve as the chairman of the Tennessee Young Republicans and I am the former student body president at Belmont University where I was attacked by the radical left for being proud of my country and being proud to be an American on the 4th of July in 2020 during the as a mother for protecting your your family and your country I've looked at the website I've looked a little bit about both of you and what's interesting is you have been you've come my way and your stories come my way through a contact there in Florida and your Stevie your story is daughter went through something very similar and in her university classes but Stevie go ahead and tell us a little bit about about what you experienced you were the student body president at Belmont University yet you were attacked for your political views isn't that right picture of myself in front of the White House and I captioned it that I was proud to be an American and I thanked those who had sacrificed and served so that we may have the freedoms and liberties that our forefathers intended for us and within 24 hours my fraternity was blackmailing me threatening to label me a racist and remove me from the fraternity there were hundreds of comments on my Instagram post and there were hundreds of signatures on a change .org petition that sought to remove me as the duly elected student body president even though I was elected unanimously with almost 99 98 % of the vote and so it was really bad that students friends of mine my fraternity brothers wanted to attack me because I was proud to be from this country you know my grandparents escaped from communism in Yugoslavia and my mother lived there for a year so I've heard the first -hand horrors of what happens in a communist country and I fear that our country is headed that way every single day. Now what's interesting is one of the articles that I that I went through briefly was is written by Campus Reform it's published on an online newsletter called Campus Reform and one of the stories that they have today actually talks about glorifying Che you Guevara know this is a this is a socialist figure that that helped with the with the cubist Cuban communist revolution and Fidel Castro you're you're talking about your family having come from communist Yugoslavia are you seeing are you seeing Stevie in in in in your experience on on campus now I don't know what you're doing now maybe you graduated you can bring us up to date with where you at right now but are you seeing some of these same the same signs that that perhaps your mother or your grandparents were talking about that were that were red flags for for communism growing within the country are you seeing that experiencing that I do and I think unfortunately it is getting worse specifically at Belmont University they refused the school is refusing to allow a turning point USA chapter on campus I think it it's it's it's awful it's an infringement on our First Amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of belief to protest to assemble and so it's really unfortunate what's going on with with colleges and universities I graduated in the spring of 2021 but I have heard of the horror stories happening at private Christian schools so -called Christian schools happening across the country and until students and parents and grandparents begin to see what is happening you know the first step to solving a problem is acknowledging it exists and it's there and it's not going to get better until enough conservative students and parents realize that they need to stop funding the indoctrination machines of universities and change course well it's very brave of you to say that glory I want want to get your your view and and and I want to first first say this I opened this show up before I brought you on with talking about somebody named Charlotte Iserbyt and I'm happy to send you her link to her book it's called the deliberate dumbing down of America what she did was she started dissecting what was happening under the Reagan administration with the attack on the indoctrination that we're seeing fruits of today a few decades later but Gloria did you did you ever expect or suspect that something like this might happen to your son I I he gets into college were there any anything anything happening up to that time where he's now the student body president of Belmont University anything before that that you were that you questioned well you know hey they he might he might need to defend himself or was this a complete surprise to you it was a complete surprise there was absolutely nothing the handbook the literature the online documentation about Belmont University everything fit a conservative Christian agenda there was nothing I mean personally I think it's a bait and switch but there was absolutely nothing I was friends with some of the professors who are conservatives at Belmont or who were conservatives at Belmont and we had spoken for two years before Stevie made the decision to go there and no there was not any kind of indication that anything like this would happen now we would never allowed our son to want to go to a school where he would have been threatened for his beliefs I mean he had been working for Republican candidates since he was 17 years old so it was out in the open it's on his LinkedIn it's public so no I mean we we were told on every tour we were told at every meeting that this was a fully free campus there would be no harassment it was Christian it was conservative and I read the handbook and Stevie followed all the guidelines when these things did start to occur he did follow all the guidelines he followed all the rules he turned everything into administration and they did nothing absolutely nothing and Stevie yeah go ahead to this day they have not responded in any way shape or form nothing and this has been three years now so you have not gotten a formal response from the school administration Stevie you're simply in DC taking a photograph outside the White House expressing your gratitude for the country and the values that it stands for did you ever suspect this type of backlash coming from the because he knew that if he spoke out against them that they would send him to a camp where he'd never be heard from again and really that whole year of 2020 was either you agree with everything we're saying you endorse the BLM organization but we're gonna do everything we can to destroy you and in fact because Tennessee is a single -party consent state that means you can record conversations with only one person knowing I did record those conversations with my fraternity which my mom put into her book and in those conversations my fellow friends my fraternity brothers say if you do not apologize for your post if you do not endorse this group we're gonna do whatever it takes to destroy you and your career and your reputation so it's a more mild form of what happens in communist countries but because these students were not held accountable it is only going to get worse and worse and it did I mean there was one instance where a female student who worked at a fast -food restaurant I would go to for my breakfast in the mornings she admitted in the official College Democrat group text that she was putting quote gross stuff in my drinks every single day because I was a an awful conservative who loved this country and one endorsed the BLM organization and the school guess what the school did when I turned her in what did they do they accepted her into Belmont law school you gotta be kidding me I'm serious 100 % she was rewarded for attacking a political opponent and I think that's dangerous as we see what's going on with President Trump he is being attacked because he's leading in the polls and it's truly unfortunate that we're becoming a banana republic yeah did the did she make you sick with whatever she put in the drinks and we couldn't even get the Nashville police who are unfortunately very short staff due to the liberal City Council and the liberal mayor at the time unfortunately they were they were unable to investigate it because I was perfectly fine thankfully but they said since there was no lasting issues that they refused to investigate and then the school accepted this girl into law school with full knowledge of everything she had done struck so it it shows the systemic problem we're having and imagine if this is happening in a conservative Christian private university in Nashville Tennessee one of the most conservative states imagine what's going on in all 49 other states we don't have the ability to record conversations and to take screenshots of texts and emails and and have such transparency I mean it's terrifying to think what's happening in these other colleges yeah very well said Stevie tell us about that book and tell us about how tell us about how it's been received my husband and I we want to speak out on this we want people to know I need parents and grandparents to know what their children and yes very teen but there still are children what they face and what they are up against when they go away to school we need for parents to fight back we need for parents to take a stand if 40 % of students stopped attending their respective universities you know that the agenda at universities with administration would change so we as conservatives we have that title of being silent majority because usually we are silent well Stevie and I wanted to change that hence the book I use I feel that the book is an educational tool for parents learn from what happened to my son learn from the experience that we've had we went to this university many times it's not far from our home we investigated it we knew people who worked there who taught there and never once did we feel that it was going to be a threat to our son and look what happened so whatever you're seeing I dread to think what's going on at public schools I just dread but I want parents to learn learn read the book you'll see everything is documented in there as my son said fortunately we're able to record and we're able to use everything for information but we need for parents to be more active in their students and their children's educations even when they are at college because they are all indoctrination facilities I did live in a communist country I went to first grade in Zagreb which was then Yugoslavia in 1972 and I can tell you that on my way to school my walk to school every morning I had 1 ,000 US dollars in my backpack I knew if civil unrest broke out at the age of six I knew how to get out of Yugoslavia get into a cab that was waiting for me at the end of the hill and that cab driver would take me to the border of Yugoslavia in Italy where one of my aunts would meet me and my parents would come when they were able I also knew the police officer on the corner he wasn't there for me he wasn't there to make sure that I'd be safe or anybody else he was definitely there to protect the communist regime and Josip Tito who was the dictator at the time and the parallels that I saw with what I experienced living in a communist country and what my son endured at Belmont University it's there if it's clear as day and I want to enlighten everyone who wants to hear from me I want all parents to know this is happening in our country now too we are being silenced and shut down the title of the book folks is outcast how the radical left tried to destroy a young conservative and that is Stevie so Stevie was this a the attack on you was this coming from the BLM movement at Belmont University or in Nashville have you identified the nucleus of where this attack came from okay so let me ask you a broader question we saw during the Trump Tifa uprisings mainly Seattle Portland but obviously across the country Chicago New York but that coincided with this this COVID -19 virus outbreak as a as a university student you've now graduated but Stevie were you were you drawing any parallels to either of these things happening during the Trump administration that seemingly linked to a communist revolt within the country does that making sense were you able to draw any connect any dots Stevie we know from history that it usually doesn't work that way and the government's gonna keep taking more and more of our rights and when you couple that with what is happening what did happen in 2020 with with the riots and people getting away with committing crimes to where if you and I or anyone else who was a conservative did burn down a courthouse like they did in Nashville or protest and kill innocent people in the streets we would go to jail however because they were advancing a political movement that the liberal district attorneys in big cities supported they were let go and they were not punished like they should have been like we would have been so the hypocrisy is terrible I think it does parallel communism to where you know if you remember the black shirts Mussolini's black shirts taking control of the Italian government because they were the advancing political agenda and movement that the powers that be wanted them to they were able to harass and intimidate people into supporting them and I fear that our country is going that way and we need people to stand up now if we're ever hoping to take back our country and get it back on the right track and under control Gloria the book is recently published it looks like it was just published last month and you've got us forward by Sam Sorbo how's the reception of the book been so far what are people saying who have you spoke to about it how is it being received lot Gloria a of media outlets that are reaching out to us I'm being asked to speak almost on a daily basis different organizations different groups Stevie and I have traveled to a lot of different states throughout the country and we will continue to be touring and we are I have started a conversation and parents are now extending that conversation with their friends and that is the goal we need to start with one person talking to another and now the growth has been exponential it's incredible the book is selling very well it's available on Amazon and wherever books are sold but from what I have witnessed and the calls I am getting yes it is and I mean if we as conservatives don't speak up we're gonna be done this is it and if America Falls there is nowhere else to go and our children are being indoctrinated I don't care what level of schooling it's that they're being indoctrinated on every single level and if parents do not set a strong foundation in the household when the child is born and continue that throughout a child's life when they go to college always we will not be America any longer so the book is being well received I do have parents who have reached out to me and who have asked me questions likewise I do have some haters but that's how I know I'm making a difference because the hate is there as well yeah absolutely well said it's like when you went once you're censored you know that you're putting up the correct information on the online right Stevie are you concentrating on any particular campuses as you tour the country you point of a Christian organization and unfortunately they they canceled the meeting that was going to happen at Belmont and so been trying to help the students out there at Belmont but really I think the key thing is getting in front of as many young people as possible who are conservative and letting them know that they're not alone that the hardships they're going through have happened before and they're gonna happen again and we've got to stand up tall for what we believe in and we can't be scared of people saying mean things about us or what people put on social media or what they may say to us we've got to stand up for what we believe in if there's any chance of saving our country thank you very much let me ask you this question Gloria as we as we wind down and then I want to give each of you an opportunity to leave listeners with some final words and thoughts but Gloria as somebody who's lived in a communist country and it sounded like you did at least one year schooling their first grade what's happening right now to the border of your country what's happening down there they believe they have freedom and to an extent they do and I equate it to when I speak I speak to a lot of young people because young people are what United Women Foundation is mostly about and so when I speak I they look at me very oddly when I tell my story but what I have found that works very well is I bring up a lion at a zoo and he's in a zoo he's caged his needs are met he has food he has shelter he has water he has medical attention and it's all for free but he is still in that cage but he is able to roam in that cage correct and then we have the next picture a lion picture lion in Wyoming in Montana anywhere in this country roaming freely that lion bends for himself he finds his own food he finds his own shelter he finds his own water he takes care of himself that lion is independent to me that is the difference that is the bottom line that is the difference between communism and America that is the difference between our constitution is that lion that is roaming free throughout this country and that's what we are right now so that is something that I think resonates with young people and I I believe that putting it in a perspective of a picture like that they are beginning to understand a little bit I hope at least I mean I don't know right now what I'm seeing is a lot of people have said we cannot have an opinion because we have not experienced it which truly breaks my heart my family in Croatia thinks that they are free in effect my family basically is a caged lion yeah incredible and and let me review what is happening right now at the southern border in in the U .S.

Leo Terrell: AG Merrick Garland Avoids Telling the Truth
"Listen I'm not sitting here telling you Leo that if you're a conservative and you commit a crime you should be given a pass it's not what I'm saying I'm simply suggesting to you and I think you'd agree being a civil rights attorney that the idea of blind justice is that everybody's treated equally you screw something up here are the penalties and the penalties are the same for both people if they did the same thing with the same conditions but that's not what happens Leo you know it I mean BLM and Antifa you know burning down attacking courthouses people nothing happened to them at all yeah you look at the you know the January 6 people find themselves in the gulag I mean this has to be deeply impactful to a guy like you whose whole life's been dedicated to civil rights it's hurtful because you want to treat everybody equally and then you know the Democratic Party has abandoned the whole concept of what Dr. King said you judge people by their character not by the skin and ever since the 2020 riots Dan that has been abandoned by the left and the Democrats and by Merrick Garland I've been practicing law for 30 years I think second place would know what I know the law and when I hear Merrick Garland during this hearing today say I don't recall know what he's saying I'm not going to tell you the truth I'm not going to tell you when you hear that phrase I don't recall I don't are you kidding me I know that phrase everyone every good lawyer knows that phrase There's pride to avoid answering the truth but I'm going to tell you something Dan CNN and MSNBC they're abandoning Joe Biden guess what they're covering the congressional hearing so the message is getting out now Dan remember it used to just be one or two stations they're now covering it they're now what's happening in that congressional hearings and I'll tell you right now everyone in this country knows that President Trump has been treated unfairly it's a double standard if you're a conservative it's a double standard talk about that Virginia parent who whose daughter was assaulted talk about the man who was charged facing those charges on the abortion clinics in
The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S13 E11 Writer & Editor: Art, Justice, Culture
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, don't have any regulars, because reasons, I guess. As for our guest, he's from Exeter in the United Kingdom. He is a writer, artist, and also editor. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sean B .W. Parker. Hello, thanks very much. Nice to be here. Anytime. So, how's life? Life's fine. It's in the middle of a heatwave here on the Sussex coast in England, so we're burning up, but getting on with work, you know. Oh yeah, same here. So, have you been up too much recently? Well, I'm constantly editing and writing. It's what I do, and some painting as well. So, at the times that we're not absolutely melting here, I was at the falsely accused day yesterday up in London, supporting other colleagues there outside New Scotland Yard, so that was exciting. Ah, okay. That's pretty cool. So, as a writer, artist, and or editor, how long have you been going on for? Well, I started to write at the age of 14, so back in 1989, and had my first poem published in 1995 in the local paper, and for the last 10 years, since 2014, I've published eight books and contributed to four more. So, I mean, I've been doing it for 30 years, but as a professional, in inverted commas, for about 10. Nice. What inspired you to become a writer? Probably Mr Robert Smith of The Cure, I think, in the first instance, back then in the 80s, understanding the worlds that these artists can take you to. And then discovering Mr Dylan Thomas, the poet from South Wales, was revelatory in my 20s. So, putting those together with various, the fact that when you enter into a world of verse or poem, can kind of take you to another place is very beautiful, and I'm an enthusiast of the English language. And so, yeah, it just all comes from some kind of inside source that you can't really locate. Ah, fabulous. And what about artists and editor? At what point did those inspirations came along? I've always been interested in art itself. I got my degree from the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey, around the millennium, and got a Master's there as well. And my speciality was in abstract painting and video art. I've continued to paint, given a chance. And so that's always been undercurrent. I've never really been out there kind of marketing myself in the art world for unknown reasons, but for the fact that I'm much more confident in writing and it's more flexible and there are more opportunities. But they do go hand in hand completely for me. So, yeah, I don't know if I answered. Yeah, that was a very good response. So where would you see yourself 20 years from now? 20 years from now? Well, I am very much a live in the moment kind of person and I don't go much before next week, beyond next week. But 20 years from now, of course, almost all artists I know would like to increase their reach at any stage. And that's part of what the podcast revolution is all about. And the independent way we can do that these days is fabulous. So you kind of connect up all these things. The albums on Spotify, the books on Amazon, the news on X. And you kind of tie all those things in together with brilliant kind of podcasts like this, who are able to tell the world about it. And there's this kind of subculture of kind of connected streams, which is really interesting. And we'll see what that leads to in 20 years time, if that is the established norm, which I'm sure it kind of will be. Nice, nice. Have you ever thought about living in a world that is literally nothing but gardens? I have never thought about that. But that sounds like a very nice idea and somewhat heavenly. But also possibly without the additions of the modern world, which I also like, like concrete and nightclubs and things. Ah, yes, of course.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Evangelism - The Christian and Prayer
"We are glad to see you gathered in tonight in the house of the Lord and we want to open by singing praises on to the Lord and that hymn is 577. Sweet is the promise, I will not forget thee, nothing can molest or turn my soul away and we want to really sing on to the glory of the Lord tonight so we'll stand after the introduction and worship God. Sweet is the promise, I will not forget thee, nothing can molest or turn my soul away. We know the night we are within the valley, the speed of the shining at eternal day. I will not forget thee or leave thee, in my arms I'll hold thee, in my arms I'll hold thee. I will not forget thee or leave thee, I am my redeemer, I will care for thee. Why can I show my gratitude to Jesus, for his love of faith and his tender care? I will proclaim to his lovers his salvation, that they may accept him and his promise shared. I will not forget thee or leave thee, in my arms I'll hold thee, in my arms I'll hold thee. I will not forget thee or leave thee, I am my redeemer, I will care for thee. Trusting the promise, I will not forget thee, onward will I go with songs of joy and praise. Though my friends forsake me, Jesus will be near me, that I keep my faith. I will not forget thee or leave thee, in my arms I'll hold thee, in my arms I'll hold thee. I will not forget thee or leave thee, I am my redeemer, I will care for thee. When at the golden portals I am standing, all my tribulations, all my sorrows past, I speak to hear the blessed proclamation, enter faithful servant, welcome home at last. I will not forget thee or leave thee, in my hands I'll hold thee, in my arms I'll hold thee. I will not forget thee or leave thee, I am my redeemer, I will care for thee. Amen. Going to unite our hearts together in prayer, thinking of those precious promises of the Lord, that he is our redeemer, he will never leave us, never forget us, that he will strengthen us in our hour of need, that he will protect us, that he will preserve us, and that one day he will glorify us. So many precious promises in the word of God, and therefore we want to come as the children of the Lord tonight to give thanks onto him for giving us his word and those precious promises that it contains. Our gracious Lord and our loving eternal Father in heaven, we do want to still ourselves tonight in this meeting, we want to honour thee by coming into thy presence in the name of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank thee for the one who is the sacrifice for sinners, we thank you the one who is the mediator of the new covenant, and we thank thee for the one who was sinless, perfect, pure and holy, who was able to bear the sins of others because he had none of the one who satisfied the wrath of a holy God and the one who declares his people to be justified. We thank the Lord tonight for the wonderful declaration of heaven for each child of God. We can say tonight on the basis of scripture, I am his and he is mine. What a wonder tonight, oh Lord, that we could call the God of heaven and earth ours, and what a marvel that he would call us his. Thank you, Lord, for being in union with thee and we praise thee, Lord, that tonight we're in the place of worship. Lord, we've come to this house tonight to lift up our voices in praise. We've come to this house tonight to open thy word and hear thy servant teach the truth that it contains. I pray, oh Lord, tonight that thou will give much liberty to her brother. Pray, Lord, you'll bring to his mind the words that are necessary for this moment. We think of the scripture that talks about the message as a nail in a sure place. Lord, we pray that people will know tonight that the Lord has had a message for them, and not only will they know that there's a message for them, but they will gladly and willingly and immediately yield to God's will. Lord, we do not want to leave here tonight untouched by thy word, unchanged by thy spirit, and therefore we pray that the one who knowest all things will search our hearts tonight, and should there be that which is displeasing, we pray, oh Lord, that thou will deal with it tonight. Bring it to our minds that we might confess it, repent and put it under the blood. Lord, we ask thee that in these days we will be clean vessels and meet for the master's use. Thank thee for what our ears have heard already over this weekend. We thank the Lord for the gospel which was sounded forth in the Lord's day, and Lord, how is the people of God? We've a much deeper appreciation tonight of truly what the Lord has saved us from, and we thank the Lord we're of the necessity of reaching the lost with the truth of the gospel. Oh, Lord, give us give us the ability to be faithful stewards. Give us, oh Lord, the grace that is necessary to be godly people doing the work of God. Lord, we remind it we must work while it is day, for the night is coming when no man can work, and therefore, Lord, I pray you'll burn our hand at the command of God. Bless our dear brother, we thank you for him and his wife. Pray, Lord, that these meetings will also be a blessing to his heart, and Lord, that even as he would return home, Lord, he will know something of enjoying the fellowship among the people of God here. We pray for those watching online tonight. We thank thee for them, and we pray, Lord, that thou would minister wherever they be in this world, and that the speaking voice of God will be heard in this place online, and wherever this message is heard, and that what happens after they hear the word, the results will bring glory to God. Lord, we leave this meeting in its entirety in thy hands. Remember those, Lord, tonight of our loved ones who are not saved. We'd love them to be in a meeting such as this, but they're not they're not mine, and therefore, we pray, Lord, tonight that even as we would seek to draw closer to our God and to know more of his word, Lord, please send thy spirit out after our loved ones. Speak to their heart. Call them, we pray, and may even this night at work be started in their hearts that will unite our families in the Savior. Lord, we've been called for such a day as this, and therefore, we pray that you will make each life in this room count for eternity. Don't allow us to get to the end of our days and look back and have to say wasted years, but Lord, cause us to fully surrender, to go through with God, and to know God's best in these days. Bless us, we pray. Watch over as we ask, for it's in Jesus' name we pray these things and for his glory. Amen and amen. Once again, it's good to see everybody gathered here. We thank you for being with us. For those watching online, we welcome you in the Savior's name as well. We've one more meeting, and that is tomorrow night, and the theme is the Word of God. The Christian and the Word of God are guidance, and how we need the guidance of the Lord in these days, and our brother will be opening God's word and showing us something of the guidance of the Lord. Also, tomorrow night after the meeting, we'll be having supper together, and therefore, we ask those who are coming to bring eatables, and catering team number two will be serving the food, and we thank them in advance for that. We welcome our brother and his wife once again. For those who are visiting with us as well, we welcome you especially, and trust that tonight we'll know something of the drawing near of the Lord. We're going to sing one more hymn and hand over to your brother. 623, 623, God is here and that to bless us with the Spirit's quickening power, see the cloud already bending waits to drop the grateful shard. We'll stand and worship God.
Discerning Hearts - Catholic Podcasts
A highlight from Day 1 The Seraphim St. Michael and the Holy Angels Novena Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts
"A novena to St. Michael and the Holy Angels. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and never shall be, world without end. Amen. Day 1. The Celestial Choir of Seraphim. The Seraphim are the highest and most splendid of the nine accepted angelic orders. Without question they are the closest in all of heaven to the very throne of God, and their primary function is to circle the incomprehensibly beautiful throne in perpetual adoration of the Lord, chanting, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The entire earth is full of his glory. This is a task that is not nearly as monotonous as it might seem to mortals, given the nature of angels who have perfect powers of concentration, and the delight that such an honor actually brings to the spirits. The Seraphim are most often identified with fire, not the burning, painful heat of hell, but the redemptive, healing flame of love, for they literally are living flames. The intensity of their adoration and pure love of God pour out of them as a flawless reflection of the divine love that emanates from the Lord. By the intercession of Saint Michael and the Celestial Choir of Seraphim, may the Lord make us worthy to burn with the fire of perfect charity. Amen. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. O glorious Prince Saint Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the divine King, and our admirable conductor, thou who dost shine with excellence in superhuman virtue, thou shaif to deliver us from all evil, who turn to thee with confidence, and enable us by thy gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day. Pray for us, O glorious Saint Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of his promises. Almighty and everlasting God, who by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, hast appointed the most glorious Archangel Saint Michael, Prince of thy Church, make us worthy, we beseech thee, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into the august presence of thy divine majesty. This we beg through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Game Dev Unchained
A highlight from 0331: Making Lucid with Eric Manahan
"What's up everybody, welcome to another episode of Game Dev Unchained, the number one game development podcast about game development and the lifestyle thereof. I am your host Brandon Pham and with me a special guest, Eric Manahan. Oh, look, did I do it? Perfect. Yeah. All right, man. So this part of the podcast where I let our guests, which is yourself, to introduce yourself to our listeners and viewers out there of where you are, where you're heading, where you've been in the past, you know, all that good stuff. Just a little synopsis. Okay. I can do that. I think you can do that. As you said, I'm Eric Manahan. I am essentially, I'm the Matt Black Studio. I'm making a game called Lucid. It's a love letter to my childhood gaming experiences. Like those, I don't know, like the SNES era, like 32 -bit era kind of platforming Metroidvania. I've been affectionately calling it the world's first celestoidvania because of the heavy Celeste influence. But yeah, I've been doing game dev as a hobby for, I don't know, for like 10 years. I used to be an architect and I was doing it then as like a hobby and architecture sucks the soul out of every living thing in a 10 -mile radius. So I was really not enjoying it. And yeah, my little side project, my little bedroom project, Lucid started picking up some steam with support from my fiance. She was just like, go for it. She helped me pull the trigger. And a few years later, we're talking to you, Brandon. Geez. All right. What a journey. Believe it or not, you're like kind of my second architect -turned -developer. Get out of here. It was a good friend back at Turtle Rock, but his entry was back in Valve and Half -Life where they were very open to other disciplines coming in, one of the first, right, 20 years ago. And he ended up working on Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2. But yeah, I mean, that's actually an amazing journey. So that understanding you went through the schooling, college route, dedicated a good portion of your adult life to architecture. So when exactly did you feel, is it just like the industry started like, hey, this is not exactly how I felt it would be? Pretty much. Yeah, man. Yeah, I went to school for the five -year program. For anyone that cares architecture, you either have to do like four -year, then go back and take a test or you go to a five -year program, you don't have to take some tests. So I did that. And the schooling portion was awesome. I love the concepts, the design, it teaches you how to like think about traversing through spaces and color and shape, all that fun stuff. And that was awesome. I really loved that. Then you enter the workforce and then it changes because then you have to deal with like clientele. And I happened to stumble into a high -end residential in New York City. And there is a very specific kind of person that you deal with a lot. And it was just kind of oil and water. My personality just really didn't buy it. And I just always felt wrong and out of place. I met some like really cool people, like coworkers, but for the vast majority of my experience it was pretty, pretty miserable. So yeah, I fell out of love and I tried to, I was like, I'm going to, I'm going to like this and I tried to for the longest time and it just never worked. How many years did you? About 10 plus -ish, like give or take with like interns and stuff. That is a sentence. I can totally relate to that. I mean, longtime listeners know kind of my story, but as a background, I always felt it doesn't matter what industry. I think as a creative, I think back my college years were the most fun in terms of the purity of it. It's like the art, you know, just making a game. But going into the industry, it's like you said, you know, the, the political side of things and it became less as you climb the ladder, it become less and less about the art. It becomes managing a lot of people, right. Dealing with a lot of people. And the funny thing is, yeah. And, but like we found like really lifelong friends as well, right. The guys in the trenches are good, but like, yeah, anything outside of that was, was very deterring for, of our creative output. So it was a very similar journey. And a lot of people, I think in AAA have the same exact feeling. I, a lot of what you see in, in games is that a return to more indie, more side projects, hustles, smaller teams, you know, just. Yeah. It's like less, a little more like honed in creative vision, a team of, I've been doing my very best to work with people I, a like are super talented and I respect and, but on the secondary, secondary, but first just get along with and can like hold a conversation and just enjoy being around. That was a big, big priority to the little team that I've been developing behind the scenes. All right. Let's get into the, the heart of it, man. We're talking about, you know, the passion project. So when exactly did you start tinkering? I mean, similar, you know, I'm guessing with architecting, well, different, completely different tool sets, right. But like, really, are you guys using the same Maya Mac? I thought you had like your own, like it was AutoCAD or like, my bad tool sets, like literal tool sets. Yeah. Sometimes I know of the one I'm using for the game I'm making. You're right. Like very different tool sets. But I've seen, I've seen Maya used in architecture. I've seen like Rhino, Maya, 3D Max, but yeah, I'm a, I'm a 2D guy. Okay. Oh, you're the straight up sketch guy. Oh my God. Even more impressive. So you're just hand drafting these blueprints? Oh, they started sketches and then I turned them into tiny little pixels. I pushed pixels all day. Okay. So when you started to kind of rediscover yourself, right. Explain to the good people, what exactly this hobby festered like into... Good question. It actually started in studio. Studio is kind of your architecture in school. That's like your main class. You care a lot about studio. You live in studio, actually. You have no social life as an architecture student. And it was late, I think it was like maybe my last year or second to last year, but it was super late at night, like three in the morning and I was trying to rush to a deadline and I was like burnt out and I was like, I need to take a break. And I start reading some articles on Destructoid and I stumbled upon an article about a demo to this little pixely Metroidvania game called Iconoclasts. And it was like this alpha build of this game I've never heard of and it looked gorgeous and I played it. I'm like, oh my God, this is awesome. And I read the article further, it's made by one guy. I'm like, get out of here.

How Diane Cotter Discovered PFAS "Forever Chemicals" in Her Husband's Protective Gear
"One day i came across a story about a new jersey firefighter who had succumbed to a horrific incident where he was out of fire and his gear failed so we know what that means it degraded now what happened to his body was that he suffered steam burns that covered i'll be conservative and say over 70 percent of his body but i think it was closer to 90 percent and that horrified me to think that his gear failed at a fire obviously if he knew it was failing he wouldn't have worn the gear so i ran down to our basement and i pulled paul's gear out of the box it had been stored in and i had turned the basement light off and i took a flashlight and i shined it through the three layers the outer shell the moisture barrier and the thermal liner and i it was specific to look in the crotch area because that's where those reproductive organs are and i'm thinking jesus did his did did toxin seep through his groin area did his gear degrade and i found these coin size quarter dime nickel pieces of fabric missing you wouldn't know what to look at it because if you couldn't see that it was missing because the gear looked fine and then i ran back upstairs and i thought holy crap this is something wrong because i understood enough about absorption in the groin area to understand that that's that area that's so absorptive you know like your neck the tissues are very thin i had educated myself a lot on cancer by that point in time and i started looking then on the computer about the the fabrics themselves and i started to look at nomex and kevlar the moisture barriers and um i came into this 1999 safety alert that the international you know the big labor union had written to manufacturers demanding that they recall a moisture barrier because the moisture barrier had degraded so i'm thinking well what's what's going on why is the iafs sending out a safety alert because in that letter they had threatened to sue the manufacturers if they didn't recall this a moisture barrier that had degraded the companies had given pushback that they they weren't gonna you know do what the iafs said now and this was counter to everything that i had understood and loved about the manufacturers from reading years worth of you know fire engineering and firehouse magazine used to come to our house and in the paperback in the paper versions and i started to look at who those names were on there and i'm like why is this so strange this is a terrible feeling that the union back then had to fight to get those moisture barriers recalled at any event then i began to contact people about cancer and in the degradation of the gear and does that have something to do with this you know the cancer that my husband had i started networking with fire fighters laughing because i have to tell you one of the things i did i became so obsessed that i was messaging 200 firehouses a day and getting kicked off of facebook because there's a limit of people that you can i was a habitual offender as a spammer because i was saying do you know about this degradation in the gear and and i was sending emails to anyone i could think of that could help me track down this degradation i sent thousands of emails thousands i think at the last count there was 25 000 emails that i had sent out and the response i received was astounding because nobody could answer my questions but i did get a response from aaron brockovich who emailed and then called and she said diana i've gotten your emails and i just got a call from the fire chief in new hampshire who has 13 firefighters with cancer and i said that doesn't surprise me because every firehouse is a cancer cluster so we spoke and she said does the gear have pfoa or pfos and i never heard that language before and i went to the computer and i googled turnout gear pfoa pfos and i found a document from the european chemical association and from an industry site in europe discussing the potential transition to non pfoa ppe so i'm here in the united states can't possibly have that stuff because you know we're the united states of america they wouldn't do that to their bravest oh but i was wrong

Diane is the ultimate standard bearer a smart outspoken and fearless woman who continues to march at the head of her six -year campaign to remove PFAS forever chemicals from the gear worn by today's firefighters.

Today I'm doing a solo Q &A. You guys know that oftentimes I do these Q &As with one of my health coaches. Today I'm doing it solo and I'm going to be covering some really good topics, really good questions that you guys asked. We're going to talk about stevia and infertility. We're going to talk about intermittent fasting, some of the best intermittent fasting strategies, how to deal with constipation. We're going to go through endometriosis and what some of the best strategies are for endometriosis. We're going to talk also about osteoporosis and what to do for bone loss and osteoporosis. So I'm going to jump right in and I've got a great question here from Jim on our YouTube channel. And also if you guys want to ask a question or want to see where I'm answering questions, be sure to subscribe and follow me on YouTube, on Instagram, on Facebook. Those would be the best ways. Dr. Jockers, Dr. David Jockers, look me up on those channels and you can ask questions. You can also email me at info at drjockers .com as well with your question that you want to get on one of these Q &A podcasts. So go into Jim. He says, I'm on a keto diet. My bowel movements are sporadic. There's no timing to it. Some days I go a lot and some days barely at all. If keto is natural, why would you need to do special things to help you have bowel movements? This is a really good question. And so whenever you start on any sort of diet change, there can be changes with your microbiome. Many of us have experienced this, whether it means more bowel frequency or less bowel frequency. So a diet change can certainly make a difference. Also, there's a lot of people that follow a keto diet, but they eat a lot of processed foods. There's a lot of things out there that are highly processed, but they are quote unquote keto. So that may be an issue here. I'm not sure, but that certainly could be an issue. Also a big thing with a keto diet is when you are going on a very low carb diet, your insulin levels drop. And that's important because we know insulin is a fat storage hormone. As long as insulin is elevated, we can't burn fat for fuel and we can't produce ketones. We also end up with blood sugar imbalances with more fat storage and more inflammation. So one of the benefits of a keto diet is it brings insulin down. Now when insulin goes down, insulin, not only does it do the things I just talked about, getting sugar into cells and storing fat, but it also causes us to retain sodium.
Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from Navigating The Costs of Long-Term Care: Smart Strategies for Financial Security
"Why is it that people don't plan for long -term care expenses? One of the things I mentioned in the ebook is that we're more likely, by far, to save up and plan for our children's college education than we will for this. And there was a great quote from a Morningstar financial analyst, and she said, if you were told that there was a 50 % chance in your retirement years that your house would burn down, wouldn't you do something about it ahead of time? And that's the whole idea, is that if there's at least a 50 % or more chance that you'll have some kind of long -term health care needs around there, planning for it, or at least being aware of what the possibilities are is a good thing. Exploring diverse avenues for funding long -term care is vital for several reasons. First, the cost of long -term care can be exorbitant, straining personal finances and potentially depleting savings. Relying on a single payment method might not suffice and could increase the risk of financial instability. Since family caregivers frequently fund much of the cost of care for their loved ones, this is a very important topic. My guest, Peter Kerr, has researched as many options for paying for long -term care as he could find, and he is sharing all of them, including his ebook, with you today.

"Really. I don't know that something that kinda blows the lid off the stigma surrounding talking about mental health. And for me it's about you're always going to get more of whatever it is you put out there so if you if you're putting out good positive vibes you're going to get more of that bag in that also goes for negative bob so my point is if you want to start talking about having a better positive experience in your life if there are things that are getting in the way of you having that whether it's anxiety or depression or whatever it is there is a solution for that and there's a place that you can go to really start addressing that in a real way you're saying yourself you're saying we'll shut up no but you might be saying we'll leave.

The these sort of you have this excitement about all of it. It's process it's not the film like when it comes out of says ali on it. Well that's for you guys right. But i'm doing the same thing. Somebody asked me earlier about putting my head on the pillow. Like all i wanna know is that i made a film better that day. That's so great. Best moment was mixing the civil war series. Where you know how it is. You're laying in the different tracks and we hadn't laid down the gun shot at ford's theatre and we'd done everything else we've got the arena stage theatre that put on american our american cousin. All the tiny you know victorian custody be going endorsed lambs and footfalls laughter and people coughing in the narrator and whatever that music was but we hadn't made in the bullet and we're saying okay. It's all analog back in the mixers lee dichter great great feature film maker woody and bike and you know Marty and everybody and it sound one. In the brill building and were going and around a yell stop just before it comes to rest on the bullet and we just sat. There cheers rolling down our cheeks. And then i nodded him. He went back. Put the lead the bullet down but the best moment was just for a moment not having killed abraham lincoln. Just help from dow wow interesting. Yeah you get you get to play with history. You how it's just amazing stuff. You know the laws storytelling as you know. Are the same for me and steven spielberg and i talked to him about it. I interviewed him at a stage in washington. And we realize it's the same thing he can make shit up. I can't but it's the same laws of storytelling asia. But your your ability to create these incredibly compelling moments. Be having your hands tied with the fact of the story in other words. You can't embellish a big crescendo. Ending i for dramatic satisfaction. You are you are a slave to what the story was. Ending is and so your ability to craft the lead up to and the framing of Is unmatched and i'd i'd say that in front of spielberg. I mean it's just. It's incredible what you do. And i just can't thank you enough for doing it. Thank you thank you. You know shelby foote in the civil war called me up. And he said god's the greatest dramatist because it you just you know. Suddenly you win the war on friday good friday and you figure that by tuesday night you got. You're ready you got some free time. You'll go to the theater. That i mentioned shelby fight. I stopped drinking because it shelby. Foote because we'd we'd be on the seventh you know bourbon and i be under the table and he'd be talking away and i'd be like oh man i can't anymore. Where did you get the the discipline. The instinct to ignore good in the pursuit of great. You know because a lot of people will just stop it good. And that's just you know good enough. I think moving up here helped me. Forty two years ago. This week i had finished shooting most of the brooklyn bridge film and i needed a real job in new york and i could easily put the film footage up on top of the refrigerator and then boom wakeup and i'm forty five and didn't finish that novel. The way they add. So i moved up here where could live for nothing and the first film got nominated for an kademi award and people said come back to new york owned l. a. to go. No i'm gonna stay here. Because i realized that that dynamic of what we do required a a an amount of time and you could build a community of people who have the patience and understand the respect for the process so when we finish it. But we're doing the same thing every day. We're just trying to make a film small town up their kids like looks like courier knives and and do people like do people point status.

"Ken burns is one of the greatest documentarian of this time. He has created notable films like the civil war and the vietnam war. Sports fans might remember as nineteen ninety-four documentary baseball his latest project muhammad ali a four part documentary air on pbs from september nineteenth to the twenty second and. Ken is kind enough to join me here on the show. So can i have to ask the question that i have no doubt you have gotten the most during over the last few weeks which is why despite there being so much out there about muhammad ali. Did you elect to do such a deep dive on this figure. Well first of all. I'm going to be saying we allied and it's not out of some pretension but this is co-directed by sarah burns my oldest daughter and her husband david mcmahon. And we've been collaborating on things including a film on jackie robinson and the central park five. There are many many documentaries about muhammad ali and there are some really extraordinary. Wants what we wanted to do was a deep dive. Something that would take seven or eight years to work. On to go from birth and childhood in jim crow segregated louisville kentucky all the way up to death by parkinson's and focus on.

"I don't think you need to see a. I don't think it'll be able to see a different beyond a while the stage greg is what he is and what he is is dangerous with that right hand. Yeah i think that's true of all boxer for the most chris no matter if you're twenty five or he'll be thirty six years old on october a couple of weeks after the fight but i think most boxers are where they are and typically revert to what they are when things aren't going well in a fight or as browns go by just more comfortable doing what they've always done so i wouldn't expect to see a dramatically different deontay wilder and even believe scott said and deontay wilder said look. He's just kind of bringing out some of the things that i've always been able to do but abandoned for one reason or another probably because you're a devastating puncher. And you're always overly reliant on that power bailing you out just like he did against the lease ortiz down. You know what. A- lost maybe every round before he knocked out luiz ortiz in the seventh round of their rematch. So yeah may maybe focusing. Because when he throws his jab jab he's got a good power jab when he actually uses use it nearly enough but he but he does a good job when he when he utilizes it. So maybe he'll do that more. Listen whatever he's going to do a better be a whole lot different than what he did in february twenty twenty or it's gonna be maybe even a shorter night for him that was at and of course. I think i'll ask him this. If given the opportunity to speak to him at some point hopefully during fight we have. I don't know up to chase him around. Mgm grand or whatever. But i could you just come into the ring with nothing to know. Theatrical snow just shirtless i mean. Don't even don't even put the towel with the head cut with a tie. Don't even just come in with nothing so we don't hear any nut. Nothing could impact your performance. Don't worry about enter entertain people when the bell rings. Don't worry about coming to the ring. And all that. I i would hope. He learned that in valuable lesson. From what happened. You know before the rematch. I would think i certainly hope so To but it'll be interesting to see you write about why jappie does go back and watch the earn fights. Second one the first one rather what he wanted the title. That was an example of his. Use of that jab. Keith always good to talk to you man. One of the upshots of not having any big fights coming up the lie to you about like on date. Ex- you know headed the figure or at least thing i know. I know you're hopping flight to fort lauderdale. Tomorrow morning i know in. I'm ready to see the resumption.

"And i don't think the entire interview ran but like maybe two minutes of it ran market a great job at asking. Him pointed questions and oscar galvez said. I don't know how it got in my system. That is not an acceptable answer. An under any circumstances that is not an acceptable answer. And i've been told oscar. Bell beds is a nice kid he is but before this oscar valdez was a prime example of everything. That's right about boxing. A mexican immigrant. Who fought his way out of poverty. One at every level despite being limited talent wise and from a physical standpoint to some degree and then he gets into the biggest fight of his career against Gilbert shelled and beats the crap out of him right and knocks him down. Three times viciously knocked out in the tenth round a huge underdog going into the fight. He's everything he's what boxing embodies. I mean oscar. Valdez is a great kid. That has nothing to with the fact that he tested positive for banned substance. It's irrelevant whether he's nicer. Not your nice. I'm nice if we do something stupid. It costs you know whatever we break the law or whatever. Will you have to suffer the consequences. Whether you're a nice person or not is irrelevant. You don't get the benefit of the doubt when you pass when you when you test positive for a substance like this because whether it's fair or not it then cast doubt on everything that you've done before and now i wrote a story for the website that appeared today of course stevenson questioned and i think rightfully kushtia course stevenson. Someone who risked his life every time he gets into the ring just like every box does and he said look now i kind of look at the shelter win a little differently like was he on it before and yet you know. Look i'm not saying that's entirely fair. But it's a reasonable skeptical opinion to have because there are masking agents. There are ways that you can beep at a lot of guys in boxing. You know the suspicion that people are ahead of the tests and i'm not saying valdez Puts in his body. And what he doesn't. What's indisputable an inaugural. Is he tested. Positive for a banned substance according to that as guidelines and that should matter apparently a dozen. Yeah i i remembered the belief that i don't think valdez should have to kinda wear this as a scarlet letter for the rest of his career. I do they get certainly possible. Especially for a guy that doesn't have any history of testing positive for banned substances to have accidentally taken something. I will allow for that. That doesn't change to your point the consequences of these actions. The consequence should be that you have your fight..

"We talk about a very dark weekend ahead. in boxing. Vander holyfield at fifty eight years old being allowed to participate in a sanctioned fight in florida. Get into everything about that. Ostrich val dez hundred thirty pound champion. He recently tested positive for a banned substance but not only was he allowed to keep his title the fight against longtime rival robeson conceicao. That is going to go on as planned on friday so bought to get into with keith. I apologize in advance by the way for the audio with keith academy minor glitch when it came to my audio so you're only getting kind of a natural audio and not the audio that generally comes from this mike later. Ken burns noted documentarian. He has a brand new documentary on muhammad ali. They'll begin airing on pbs. on september. nineteenth. I talked to ken about why he shows a subject.

Keep them excited to talk to you about big fights and they'll be those times will be ahead of us. I'm sure this is not one of those times. we are entering one of. I think i've been looking for the right adjective to describe this weekend. Depressing immoral Dangerous boxing weekends of recent memory. You've got fifty eight-year-old vander holyfield getting back in the ring in a sanction boxing match in florida. He's gonna fight the doorbell for filling in delaware the day before. You're gonna have ostra bell. Dad's a charismatic talented under thirty pound champion defending his title against ropes. And could say. Sal and you'll do it just a week or so after popping positive for a banned substance and being allowed to fight by the local arizona commission and being allowed to keep his title by wbz. So before we get into specifics. Am i overstating this or is this coming weekend about his battles against chris. I don't know that you could overstate it to be honest with you What we have on our hands here. Friday and saturday are successive. shit shows. That should not be happening. I mean there. There's no other way to put it in the. Does anyone care about fighter safety anymore. Other than media members and i would assume a lot of fans and maybe less fans i suspect but does anyone care about fighter safety. There's a fifty eight year old person who replaced a forty eight year old person who should not have been fighting either any any fighting mean he. He's fifty eight hasn't fought in ten years. He's boxing someone who has boxed one time in his entire life yet is fourteen years older than him in much closer to the back of his physical prime obviously than holyfield. What's going on arizona's disgrace that. Oscar vowed there should not be fighting friday night. There's two ways about it. The fight should have been postponed..

"I am now honor bound to give you an experience as cinematic experience that you will not fall out of that you will attend to and you know and and god bless you for giving me that that amount of time and i am honored bound to honor your attention to me the hard question when you say that you thought you knew what vietnam was and you didn't know a fraction of what vietnam was when you parse through those horrors. Do you see them. Playing out again in afghanistan right now in real time across today's news because of what you know of course this country and what this government is capable of of course of course and it doesn't necessarily point to very simple good and bad black and white. You know kind of thing. It's just so we like to say history repeats itself it never ever has an it never repeated itself the universe would come to a stop if it did mark twain is supposed to have said history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes and what that suggests is that human nature remains the same and the cleese asti said there's nothing new under the sun meaning what has been done. We'll be done. What has what has been will be again. There's nothing new under the sun so human nature doesn't change and so we see these themes these motifs. These rhymes happening all the time. Whenever i finish a film. And i swear to you. We focused intently on getting that film. Right he lift up and then you can't help but be shocked by how much it's rhyming. In the present. I could do that. With vietnam give you the stump speech for that and blow your mind with how much was exactly what was going on twenty seventeen but i can do the same thing with the civil war or the brooklyn bridge or the dust bowl or prohibition all of these things when you study something in the past and you do a good job about it and you render the the people dimensional and real complicated. Then it's going to speak to the present because human beings remained the same the same amount of greed and generosity the same amount of periods and puritanism. It's all it's all there and you can watch it. Play out in in lots of different ways. I've got a thousand questions. But we're pressed for time so i will just leave you this as a promotion for the film when ken burns looks at american history. I wanna ask you top three american musicians or top three american artists of all time but wherever it is and however it is top. Three religious figures ali. And the movie that you're now making if you were going through all of american history as you know it and saying i would place him top of the category. Where in american history. So he's obviously having a a time and newsweek and sports illustrated all said he was the athlete of the century. So i accept ad.

She's got the bug but in a different department got sixteen year old and they all make films that. That's what i care about the biggest thing. I'll say about processes. Most people were set. research period. set writing period. script comes out running stone and inform shooting and editing. We never stop researching and we never stop writing which means we're open to the very very end. I've got a neon sign editing room which were just about to reopen up and it says in lower case cursive. It's complicated like every filmmaker. If you've seen this working nobody wants to touch it. Nobody wants to open it up though. That's fine and we opened it up. If we find something new that destabilizes so be it. Maybe it'll make the to jason scenes that much better but we just want to have the courage to to permit there to be undertow. And i think sometimes in our business and you know it. There's a. There's a desire to just streamline it and telecom palatable easy to digest stuff and you're not gonna get it from us. What is the tool in your toolbox on that front that you enjoy the most on the work front. Is it researches at discovering. Something is it writing. Is it stitching it together as it tying into history like which one is the one that you regard as your most vital you know there's four moments that are really great. You know when you're when you're out shooting it might be an archive or you're alive stuff and you know it's going to be in the film. It's just great. You've gotten up at dawn.

"The awkward transition but a dream project that you have not done. I don't know whether like tarantino films when you've attack the subject matter you've attack told i thank you regarded as such the definitive american story on the telling of whatever that is from baseball to the civil war you i i'm guessing you say without too much pride and ego. You are the final word on the subjects that you chronicle no well. I would not say definitive or final. I would say we're comprehensive until the next person comes along and says i wanna talk about this or open up this moment. That is you. Know the the The the night in miami story is two sentences in our film about ali and we wrote those sentences well before that movie was even made and so they exist. And it's like oh great. There's somebody who's really opened it up. There's definitive is is just a ridiculous thing because you can discover new information you can learn new stuff. You can discover new archives. Somebody shows up as a witness and it changes everything so so what you wanna try to be as comprehensive for the moment and i feel that very much about the civil war very much about baseball and jazz and the national parks and the dutton's smaller stuff like the dust bowl and huey long and and And and The roosevelt's and the vietnam war country music and this ernest hemingway. But i have no ego to say that somebody can't come on. Pbs themselves since two thousand eight shown three other documentaries on mohammed ali. I'm i'm just the fourth. Is there a project your proudest of just because even regarded. I mean the the vietnam. I just don't know how you found that the ability to tell that story. But then i. I would also say hemingway trying to tell a six hour story about. Words is is fairly hard and ambitious to they're all. They've all got degrees of difficulty. Dan and you're very nice to say that. I you know. I think they probably vietnam was the hardest. But they're like my kids you know. Let me cop out the way duke ellington. Who's our greatest either leave and certainly our most prolific american composer. Somebody asked him what's his most important composition. He said the one. I'm working on now. So i can talk to you till i'm blue in the face about ali and i got another film coming. I'm just finishing on benjamin franklin than another one on the us and the holocaust interrelation of what we knew what we didn't know what we did. And what we didn't do what we should have done all of that. Complicated stuff that mirrors the racist and anti immigrant stuff that we here today on. We're doing a big.

And i happened to find you on the right side of truth but the way that you speak of race in this country is not in any way whitewash. You're speaking of it as the plane. Sort of same truth but with a degree of indignation behind. I'm surprised still to see you. Tell me as a thorough researcher of this stuff. I underestimated badly underestimated how bad the race problem was in this country and i was polarizing and left disney at least in part because i wouldn't shut up about race.

It's just like somebody who's not a doctor being allowed to write medical practice right like why are you guys making decisions you the smart move to do is next time. They do a buyback. Say it's like a hundred or two hundred bucks. What do they do usually two hundred one hundred hundred bucks a gun right chris. What's a buyback. What do they give you by one hundred. Is it usually one hundred from the state. A hundred bucks. I think it is something like that. They give you a hundred bucks. A smart play for us to do would be go out and get a bunch of eighty percents And make them and then we sell them to them because we could probably get palmer eighties for like forty fifty bucks cheap aluminum at palmer. We don't even have to get aluminum the money like it. That's a great idea. You would sell the receiver itself. Nevada do a buyback receiver. Is the gun. Ryan like the gun. I don't even know barrel.

"Your ancestors has worked intentionally with power animals. Every single one across every civilization known to mankind and women kind so go there were used to this of the human experience work with your power animals. Let them come in. And then you expand out your angels and your guides and see where the resistance comes up and know that you can always come back to your brothers and sisters the wildlife of so with that in mind to conclude mr christopher burns is beautiful conversation. Talk to me about some of the the power animals in the energies with them. That are you know in your field. Maybe they've been with you for a while. Maybe they're present like what are those that animal energies in wisdom that you're harnessing right now as you bring your vision forward boom dude. I love this love man. Because i really appreciate that you take the the what is like ethereal right extraterrestrials shiels guide spirits angels whatever it might be beings and you say hey. They're able to communicate with us through an infinite amount of ways right. it's all about what. What are we open to. And so the animals are are such a great avenue man so for me i would say the big thing has been dogs. I've had german shepherds. I had three german shepherds. And i believe that they were teachers to me to to learn what love is like what compassion is. What just this unconditional love for for man is in. I've really appreciated that. And also i wasn't the nicest owner of a dog or a. I'd call myself a dog owner anymore. Dog partner you know a dog. Doug brother doug older brother of that but Yeah man i. I think i was. I was not very nice. And so i think another thing that was along. My journey is out. Forgive myself right. Like man i i did some not kind things. I was a jerk to these dogs in like they still loved me and they still had that. Unconditional love so for me. That's been a big journey. And i feel something that's helped me accelerate a lot throughout my wounds and throughout the life stuff. That's happened is how can i forgive myself. How can i sit with the like. Please forgive thank you. I love you. How can i sit with that. Hope on porno prayer in go through each of those phases really embody each of them. And for me. i. I believe that dogs are a really amazing example of that. So that's number one is is dogs and then the second one is it. It's interesting i felt. I felt a connection with like eagles. Long before i did my last company which was a phoenix at a phoenix as the logo. So i think that that majestic bird the phoenix. The fire goes with my last name burns so the phoenix is really a really big as well. I think just because of what happened in the last company there's a little bit more of a disconnection. In a distance with that spirit animal of the phoenix. It's such a powerful mythical creature..
