Some of the softness that you are seeing in a lot of the manufacturing chemicals and manufacturing products here, and that's a sign here that we could see some more broader economic softness overall. Alright, see lubricants. They're important. Let's be careful, Carol. Let's walk through the numbers here on this Tuesday afternoon. A good day all around with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up almost 500 points, or about 1 .4 % here on the day. The S &P 500 higher by about 84 points, just a smid shy of that 4 ,500 level that it did trade above. It's going to close right around 4 ,495 and change here. That's higher by about 1 .9 % here on the day, best day for the S &P. Going back to January and the NASDAQ up about 2 % or 326 points above that 14 ,000 level. But we've got to talk about the Russell 2000, guys, because it was a phenomenal day for the Russell. A 5 .4 % gain on that index. Not only is that the best day going back to November of last year, but when you talk about the outperformance relative to the rest of the market here, and this has really been the bugaboo for so long, Carol, the idea that the Russell, the small caps, even the mid caps were not keeping pace with some of those outsize gains we had earlier this year, well, at least for today, those names are getting into the spotlight. Yeah, very, very telling. You've now got the Russell in the green year to date. It's up just about 2 % here. I just want to say, if you look at the S &P 500 remain, I mean, really broad based, and we know this, right? We've got almost roughly about 466 names to the upside today.

"$5. Cilce's fiscal year operating margins between 14 .6 % to 14 8%. The estimate there had been for 14 .7%. So you take a look at some of these numbers and the clearly market sees good news here. We're going to continue to keep an eye on that. All right, let's move over to Marvell Technology. It's a chip device company and there are third quarter numbers. On the bottom line, it is by a beat one penny, adjusted EPS of $0 .41. Revenue coming in slightly better than expected, $1 .42 billion. But the outlook for revenue for this quarter, the fourth quarter, $1 .42 billion. Analysts looking were for $1 .46 billion and you can see those losses in after hours trading deepen. Now down 1 .3 % in after hours trade. Just want to get to Dell because last time that they reported their quarterly update, the stock the rally 21 % to our new record high. It's a different tone. The stock is selling in the aftermarket. Third quarter total net revenue of $22 .25 billion, a little bit light. Street was looking for $22 .98 billion. Third quarter adjusted operating income $1 .96 billion. That is a B. $1 .78 billion was the street estimate. Third quarter adjusted EPS $1 .88 and that is about $0 .42 better than the what street was expecting, but the stock is down about 3 .5%. Keep in mind the stock is up almost 90 % year to date. Looking last time around it was kind of hopeful in terms of a recovery in the market for corporate technology. We will look for some insight on the call and in the press release to see maybe why there is so much negativity in the aftermarket. And also Bloomberg intelligence heading into this report was signaling kind of this cautious recovery that we have seen in the PC market, so they were expecting sales to slip about 7 % compared to the 13 % drop in the prior quarter. So Katie do you have a cyber truck in your car? Apparently you only have to put $250 down to so I'm thinking about it. Get on the mailing list essentially. It's a little pricey.

The U .S. and several Arab countries are in disagreement about the need for a ceasefire in the Israel -Hamas War. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a news conference Saturday with the foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan, where all three nations said they shared a commitment to achieving peace in the Gaza Strip. We believe pauses can be a critical mechanism for protecting civilians, for getting aid in, for getting foreign nationals out, while still enabling Israel to achieve its objective, to defeat Hamas. Blinken says the U .S. supports a humanitarian pause in the conflict, though not a ceasefire, while Egypt's foreign minister called for an immediate ceasefire without conditions. Police in Germany are still negotiating with an armed man who's holding his 4 -year -old daughter hostage on the tarmac of an airport. Authorities say the man broke through a gate at the Hamburg airport last night and drove onto the tarmac while firing shots in the air. He also reportedly threw Molotov cocktails from his car before parking next to a loaded plane. Security measures in New York City are ramped up for today's New York City marathon.

Let's walk you through the numbers here. An update and an up week for most of the major indices here in the U .S. We start with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, higher on the day by about six tenths of a percent, up about 200 points, back above that 34 ,000 level, and adding to what is now gains of about five percent here on the week, best weekly performance for the Dow going back to October of 2022. Meanwhile, the S &P 500 up nine tenths of a percent on the day. That's adding to about what is now going to be a six percent gain on the week. Best week going back to November of 2022. And the Nasdaq composite also getting in on the action up about one point four percent. And again, once again, having its best week since November of 22. But look at this. We've got to talk about the Russell 2000 here, because it was an outperformer all day long, all week long, up about three percent here on the day. It's best day going back to mid June. And on a weekly basis, an eight percent gain appears to be locking in. Best week for the Russell, Carol, going back to February of 2021. What a shift in sentiment and going into a weekend. It's kind of interesting to see all this enthusiasm. You look at the S &P 500, 415 names to the upside, 85 to the downside. Nasdaq 100, you've got 84 names gaining today, Katie, and 17 to the downside. So really a risk on trade once again. Yeah. And again, you can see the same sort of story playing out in the.

"The world is more complex than ever, but that complexity pushes me to look at the bigger picture. I'm Emily Chang, and I cover tech, culture, innovation, and the future of business for Bloomberg. At Bloomberg, reporters like me dig into the context of a story, so you understand how it impacts you. Because context changes how you see things, how you change things. Context changes everything. Start watching my shows and more at Bloomberg .com. As we count down, you know, we have what, eight, seven seconds left. It's going to be an update, the S &P 500 finishing about six -tenths of a percent higher, the NASDAQ about half a percent higher, the Dow also getting in on the action up about four -tenths of percent. So small moves, Carol, you know, in the grand scheme of things, but still a positive day. Yeah, the Bulls will take it, right? Whatever they can get right now. Having said that, S &P 500, you've got most names, Scarlet in the index, higher today, 412 to be exact, 89 to the downside. You look at the NASDAQ 100, 80 names are moving higher in today's session, 21 losing a little bit of ground here. Yeah, we're seeing some market breadth, right? You look at the breakdown in the S &P 500's 24 industry groups, and even though you only have a gain of about two -thirds of one percent, all 24 groups are in the green. Media, entertainment, basically little changed. Real estate investment trusts at the other end up by almost two percent. All right, so let's get to some individual gainers as we wait for some of those earnings to cross the Bloomberg. GE Healthcare Technologies, remember, they were spun out from parent GE earlier this year. This stock really soaring in today's session, up about 5 .4 % off its highs of the day, but nonetheless, an outperformer number one gainer in the NASDAQ 100.

You get context, and context changes everything. Go to Bloomberg .com to get context. Mattel area on the Bloomberg earlier today really got into that idea of just how much Fed speak is sort of causing volatility, and you kind of pointed out just in the last appearance by Jay Powell at the Economic Club of just how much the treasury's news off the back of those comments, and it really raises the question here as to whether the commentary, the public commentary, is as useful as maybe the Fed thinks it should be. All right, we are getting the closing bells here in New York. Let's round out the day with the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Down almost 200 points, or roughly 0 .6 percent here on the day. The NASDAQ composite is going to hold in the green up by about 34 points, or about 0 .3 tenths of a percent, and you can thank most of the magnificent seven for keeping that afloat, but take a look at the S &P 500, a trade today below 4200, a close above 4200, but still down two tenths of a percent on the day, a fifth straight day of declines. That's the longest daily losing streak for the S &P 500 in 2023. The Russell 2000 also lower on the day, Carol, down by nine tenths of a percent. All right, and a quick check on the S &P 500 remained. If I dig a little bit deeper, you know you're talking about most names in the index, 375 to be exact, to the downside, 137 higher, one unchanged, but you mentioned volatility and scarlet. If you look at the VIX, it's actually down about a point in today's session, which I don't, how do you get your head around that considering the trade that we saw today? Yeah, well, I mean, the moves were not, I mean, actually they were for the S &P 500, but the VIX has not been the greatest signaling tool for a while now. Let's take a look at the sector performances. Seven out of 24 groups finishing in the green, and as Romain mentioned, magnificent seven, and that's, you can see that with chip makers, media, entertainment, software services leading to the upside. On the downside, you've got transportation stocks, energy.

"So you're talking about, like, do you think that the mind can sometimes create the physical pain? And by alleviating the stressors or getting the person to relax, as you mentioned, that these mysterious physical pains, because I know when the mind isn't in a good state, sometimes that can transform into physical, real physical pain. Sure, sometimes it does start on the mental level. Reiki is wonderful because it works on four levels. It works on the physical level, but it also works on the mental level, on the emotional level and the spiritual level. And as I understand it, the very deep root cause of our diseases are on the spiritual level, and they sometimes affect the mental, the emotional and the physical level. So Reiki really works on all these subtle bodies and it really allows us to attain optimal well-being because it addresses all these energies and it's really soothing on all levels. Well, that makes a lot of sense because even science is realizing how much of a toll that stress can have on the body and creates so many health issues. So basically having Reiki done when you're experiencing a lot of stress and stuff like that is kind of like a preventive measure before things get out of control. And even if a person has already experienced the significant health issues, then the Reiki can also help to heal from something like that ever happening again, possibly. Yeah, and so someone would come for a Reiki session. Sometimes they may need only a few sessions to feel better, but some people might need a few, more than one session. And it really depends on what is going on with the client, but it could be very cumulative and you could really feel the effect of Reiki on the long run. Getting more than one session will really help these effects be long lasting. Okay, well that totally makes sense. On average, how many sessions in your experience have you generally seen? How many sessions on average does a person need? So again, it depends why they come to me for, but on average I would say about four sessions. Okay, can you walk me through the typical process of, like let's say I was just coming in to have a Reiki session, like how does it work from there? So you would lay down fully closed on a massage table, and I do like to work with crystals and frequencies, so I would put on healing frequencies and use those little healing crystals that I have. I would lay them on your chakras, and then we would start the healing process. I would call in the energy, I would call in our guides and the forces, the elements, the directions, and you would close your eyes, take deep breaths, and then I would start laying my hands on your body. So I can either lay them on your body parts or hover over some body parts. Like for example, for women I would hover over the heart chakra, and for women and men I would hover over the sacral chakra. Gotcha. The rest of the body though, I usually, I like Reiki touch, so I have a preference for laying hands on, but other practitioners may only prefer hovering during the whole session. Right, I've seen both hands on, hands off, and yeah, I guess that does have to do with what the client is feeling more comfortable with, obviously. And typically how long is a Reiki session, like what are the, how much time per session do you recommend, and what are the times that you offer? So I recommend to start with an hour, just because we can really dive deep in the session, and get a long session enough for the patient to be fully relaxed. So I start with an hour, I also offer 75 minutes or 90 minute sessions. Okay, that's good, that's good. In my experience, when I'm working with clients doing some kind of healing depending on their needs, I've always found that it's better to kind of dive in, because the beginning stages is when the heaviest work is actually needed, and progressively kind of move down, depending on what the client is facing or dealing with. So is there any like specific question that you find that a lot of people are asking you about Reiki, like the general questions that you'd like to share with the audience? Yeah, so a lot of people ask if Reiki can only be done face to face, and actually it also can be done distantly. And this is kind of like that mysterious part of the energy. It kind of transcends time and space, so it could be done distantly. The process is the same, but the practitioner would include the sacred symbols that were revealed to them during the attunement, the initiation to Reiki energy. And so that would be, these sacred symbols would be the way we opened up that, how can I say it, that portal. So the energy travels through time and space. Right, well that's something that people need to understand, that when we're talking energy, nothing gets in the way of a person's energy reaching another person's energy, if we have that intention for that energy to reach the other person. So you're talking about like FaceTime or Zoom or something like that to be used as a portal to do distance healing? So I would do it through Zoom just as a little touch base before the session starts to kind of check in with the client. And then we would be off connection, I would send the healing distantly, and then I would touch bench with the client right after that on Zoom again. Okay, that sounds wonderful, because I'll tell you what, one time I was just, I think I was on one of the social media platforms, and there was one lady that was doing a distance healing, and I did just kind of stay and just allow myself to accept that distance healing, and I could really feel the difference with the kind of the hands, her hands were clearly sending energy to me, and I was feeling the positive effects of that. So I am definitely a big believer in all things spiritual. And I think that before a person can really put themselves to really like judge whether this is a thing that's working or not, they actually should try it at least once to have their own personal experience before start making assumptions about it. When a person comes in to have a Reiki session, like you have done several Reiki sessions for some of my clients, and they were saying that they felt a tremendous amount of change, more relaxed, more calm, and a couple of them walked in very stressful. Yeah. And they were immediately able to feel this, like the positive sensations moving through the mind, the body, and the spirit, and it's kind of like when the session was done, they were walking out as different people. Yeah, I really felt that in their energy, and it is hard to explain what Reiki is. It is so mysterious, and it can't really be fully grasped with the mind. But the best way to understand how it is and how it works is to experience it. So like you said, opening up to it and then see if it resonates with you. Exactly. But it is very magical, and I always have a deep joy to be able to help others on their healing journey and heal myself as well. As healers, we always start with ourselves. So it is a giving and a receiving dance, and I find it beautiful. Absolutely. Well, I want to thank you so much for being here.

"Carol. Hi, Christine. So nice of you to be here on this podcast today. Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure. Well, you're always welcome here, and today we're going to be talking a little bit about your Reiki healing sessions. Maybe you'd like to share with our listeners a little bit of the history of Reiki and how or why it works? Of course. So, we have to understand what Reiki is, and although it is said that it's a very mysterious energy, it is a form of energy healing. Rei means spiritual or sacred, and ki is energy, so we can understand it as a mysterious life force energy. It is pure life force energy. The practitioner will channel that energy, and it will enter the patient's body, and it will move through the chakras and energy centers. It is very, very relaxing. Reiki really provides deep relaxations, so the patient's body can move from the sympathetic nervous system, which is our fight or flight mode, to the parasympathetic system, which is our optimal health, which is really we resource ourselves. We rest, we relax, and Reiki does wonders. It is all about relaxation and tuning in and opening up to the energy so pure healing can happen. What type of issues is a person facing that Reiki could be helpful to them? Reiki can help with a lot of different issues. The most common one that we see are people who are very stressed and are dealing with high anxieties and depressions, or people who need mental clarity or body alignment, also people who have mood disorders or sleep disorders. Another common reason to reach out to a Reiki practitioner would be for pain management, and if someone went through a surgery or medical procedure, it would be to speed up the recovery and make the body more comfortable. Yeah, I've definitely heard that. I'm also hearing that hospitals are also offering Reiki nowadays. So I find that very interesting because, you know, hospitals and doctors are usually very science -based, but obviously in order for them to bring that into the medical world, that must mean that people are truly seeing real benefits from having Reiki done. So you're talking about, like, do you think that the mind can sometimes create the physical pain? And by alleviating the stressors or getting the person to relax, as you mentioned, that these mysterious physical pains, because I know when the mind isn't in a good state, sometimes that can transform into physical, real physical pain. Sure, sometimes it does start on the mental level. Reiki is wonderful because it works on four levels. It works on the physical level, but it also works on the mental level, on the emotional level and the spiritual level. And as I understand it, the very deep root cause of our diseases are on the spiritual level, and they sometimes affect the mental, the emotional and the physical level.

All right, let's go through the numbers here on this Friday afternoon. All the major indices saved the Dow Transports in the red on the day. The Dow Jones Industrial average lower by about 0 .9 % here on the day, and that's going to be good for about a 1 .6 % decline on a weekly basis. The S &P down more than a percent on the day, down more than 2 % on the week, while the NASDAQ is going to close out the day down about 1 .5 % on the day and 3 % on the week. The Russell 2000 not left out of the action, also sliding here by more than a percent on the day and more than 2 % here on a weekly basis. And just real quick, Carol, I just should point out here, the S &P 500 did indeed close below that 200 -day moving average for the first time since March. Yeah, the technicians definitely noticing that. Do you want to mention a headline crossing the U .S. fiscal year budget gap widening 23 % to $1 .7 trillion, that on revenue drop, right? We think about the money coming in or not coming in and what that does, Scarlett, to the budget gap. What I will say, though, S &P 500, Scarlett, more than 400, 32 names to the downside today, 69 to the upside, two unchanged, so risk off in a big way. Risk off in a big way, and that's reflected in the 24 industry groups in the S &P. See, I was monitoring this all day, and for a while you had at least...

Carol Pasternak lives by the motto, it's gotta be fun. That is what she brings to this episode. Have you ever thought about having a caterpillar as a pet? Well, you'll want to after listening to her in this episode. Egg hunts aren't just from the Easter Bunny anymore. Carol talks about her thrill and experiences searching for eggs laid by butterflies and tracking down the caterpillar. You'll find out how exciting it is to watch a caterpillar transform from a chrysalis into a butterfly. Also, what you can do to help overcome the challenges facing the monarch butterfly population. What is good for the monarch is good for nature and for us. Carol Pasternak is an author, teacher, photographer, and sought-after speaker who has been raising monarch butterflies with her families for 40 years. In her free time, she can be found in ditches, meadows, and forests, scouring every crevice for signs of wildlife. Her book, How to Raise Monarch Butterflies, a Step-by-Step Guide for Kids, has sold over 60,000 copies and received international acclaim. Her latest book, Five Butterflies, inspires young people to pause their devices and revel in the natural world outside their door. This is episode 128, The Monarch Crusader, with Carol Pasternak. Carol, it's monarch butterfly tagging season in Toronto. How does that make you feel? I'm very excited about tagging season. I have mixed feelings, though, because this is the first year I'm not tagging. I've tagged for about 10 years, and I've had the excitement of one of the monarchs that I tagged flew 4,000 kilometers to Mexico, and someone found that tag. So that was very exciting. But around southern Ontario, where I live, I've been to two tagging events in the last week. And wow, we teach people what the meaning of the tag is. They get to tag one, release one, and I get my megaphone out and tell the whole story. In addition to that, I tell them the spiritual aspect of the monarchs. And they are just fascinated by all things associated with monarch tagging and monarchs going to Mexico. Well, I guess that event was at the Clarkson Family Farm Butterfly Festival. Was that one of the events you were talking about? That's one of the events. 1,250 people came to that event. We monarch enthusiasts are making a lot of noise that we can get 1,250 people to come out to an event, and it had activities. Everyone was happy. Well, tell us a little more about it. There was an opportunity to adopt a caterpillar. One monarch enthusiast raised close to 1,000 caterpillars for this event. That way we had enough adult monarch butterflies for people to have a personal one-on-one experience with tagging and releasing. But the other part of it is that there were 500 caterpillars. Why would one want to raise a caterpillar, and why would families want to give their children that experience? Where do they even get a caterpillar if they want to do that? It's hard to do, but this event had them, and that was a big draw. Five hundred families walked home with caterpillars and instructions and milkweed and containers and explanations. So here's the scoop. You've got a small caterpillar if you were experienced, and the organizers trusted you to take care of it for 10 days until it would make its chrysalis. But if you had never done it before, you got a big caterpillar that was going to make its chrysalis in just a couple of days, so you couldn't make a mistake. You get to watch the best part of the metamorphosis up close on your kitchen table in a clear plastic container. It finishes eating, then it crawls up to the top, hangs upside down in a J shape. Wow! How can it hang upside down in a J shape? First, it has to make a silk pad with its mouth, and it moves its mouth back and forth a thousand times, and you're watching it and watching it, whoa! The energy of this caterpillar. Then it uses its rear claspers to attach itself and hang upside down. Okay, so now what's happening? What's happening? How long is it going to take? How long is it going to hang there? What's it doing? Well, we've already explained to them, and you can read it in my book, that what they're making is a chrysalis on the inside. Everyone thinks it's going to spin something. It's not going to spin something. It's making a chrysalis on the inside. Then they get to see the best part. The head splits open, splits its head open, and out pops this chrysalis it's been making, and then it whirls around and twirls around until it makes a gorgeous chrysalis that looks like a jeweler has spent 20 hours making it. That's exciting. You put the craving on me to go find a caterpillar and watch all that process going on. When you find a young caterpillar, it's going to molt about four or five times. Molting is amazing. It crawls out of its skin. Then it turns around and eats the skin. If it's a monarch caterpillar, it looks pretty much the same after each time it molts. But if it's a black swallowtail caterpillar, and I encourage people to raise a lot of them, every time it molts, it looks like a different caterpillar. You don't know what you're going to get. So when you have the clear salad container that you've used as a rearing container on your table, there's so much going on that you don't want to miss it. You feed it, and something amazing happens when you feed a creature. You get attached to it. You really care about it. When it's time to let it go, you're not even sure you want to let it go. You know you have to, but you've nurtured it, so you love it. That translates directly into environmental stewardship. Why do you believe raising a caterpillar is a great way to get kids interested in environmental stewardship? Well, here's what happens. They've got the caterpillars, then they might want to raise another caterpillar. Well, this is fantastic. What other caterpillars can I raise? Well, let me find out. If I plant pearly everlasting, I can get American lady caterpillars. Now we want to raise red admirals. We need the host plant for red admirals, which are nettles. Wanting to raise caterpillars leads you into the garden and into planting. The other thing it does is we find out that there's an insect apocalypse. Oh my goodness, you mean dad? You had tons of butterflies around when you were a kid? They were on the windshield of your car? You had to clean the windshield and the grate when you came home because it was so filled with insects and we don't have them anymore? And if we don't do something, we're going to lose them all and we're going to go with it? With that care of the caterpillar comes a care for the environment. That field where you collect your caterpillars is getting bulldozed and you really care about it. This happened to me. I had side by side houses. I was a personal fitness trainer and I trained the women in both these houses. I used both properties to collect my caterpillars. One of the women sold the property 200 acres. It wasn't just the foxes that had no more home. It wasn't just the wild turkeys that had no more home. It wasn't just the deer. It was my caterpillars that I loved. The milkweed was gone and I watched the bulldozer. Now it's so ingrained in me to save every inch of habitat that we can and to recreate the habitat that we've destroyed. This is what happens when you start really loving something. This cannot happen when you are playing video games. You're getting the kids out and away from the video games. What's your secret to doing that? The secret is to give them a caterpillar. My summers are spent in ditches and meadows because I love the hunt. Who doesn't love a hunt? People they want to go fishing, they want to go hunting, they want to find something. It's innate. I love to go on a treasure hunt for caterpillars. I don't care how hot it is and I don't care how many things eat me. Now I've got all these caterpillars and I don't have time to raise them all, so I give them away. Craig, I'm just one person. I encourage everybody to do the same thing and that's why I'm the monarch crusader because I publish on my page ways for you to get everyone else involved. If you give a kid a caterpillar, so often that's life-changing and instructions. They want to stand on the highest rooftop and tell everybody else to do the same thing. I kid you not. They can't leave the house all day and go to school because what if their caterpillar makes its chrysalis? What happens? They take the rearing container to school. What will happen to you, Craig, if I give you one? You won't want to miss it. You're going to take the caterpillar to work with you. Everybody's going to gather around. I'm not making this up because it's happened a thousand times. They take it to work and everybody wants to see it and you find out what people know. Not everybody knows that a butterfly comes out of a caterpillar. In raising this, are you looking at just one caterpillar per container or can you have several caterpillars in a container? Generally, in a salad container, you can have up to 10 caterpillars of the same species. You keep putting their particular food in there. Whatever leaf you found it on, you put that leaf in for whatever the term is that that particular caterpillar lives. It could be two weeks. If you do moths, it could be six weeks that you feed them. You clean them every day. You show your parents you're responsible by taking care of something. That's how it is. Are there any negative aspects or concerns when you're raising a caterpillar in captivity versus out in the wild? If you raise it properly and you don't raise too many, it's the best thing that we can do for the environment. The caterpillar is very happy in its container. There are no predators. For monarch butterflies, for example, only one in a hundred eggs is going to make it to be an adult. The rest are going to be eaten or diseased. If I bring that caterpillar in and raise it, there's a 90% chance that it's going to make it, hasn't been eaten, and that I set it free. The only downside is if I want to raise a hundred or a thousand. Because we don't know the whole story of raising everything in captivity. Some people think that the monarch raised in captivity may not be as strong as the monarch raised in the wild. That's possible, except what we do know is that monarchs raised in captivity do make it to Mexico because we have the tagged monarchs to prove it. What challenges do they go through from when they leave? And I guess you're probably in the most northern area that monarchs fly north. Do they fly much further than Toronto? I'm in southern Ontario. They fly to central Ontario, at least five hours north of me. The migration is really fun because monarchs from the north will come through Toronto down to Lake Ontario and they gather on Lake Ontario. So watching the migration is really fun. And then they continue that on to Mexico. What are the challenges that they face during that migration period? A huge challenge is lack of food, that is lack of pollinator plants. This is why we encourage everyone in the middle and southern states to plant fall nectar plants. Those being goldenrod, New England aster. To have a native plant garden, which is generally the best for insects. You need host plants, which is what the caterpillar eats and nectar plants, which is what the butterfly eats. One would need to look up what nectar plants are native to wherever you live and plant them. But the asters and the goldenrods are pretty much all over the state. So they can face food shortages and they face drought. Drought has been a huge problem in Texas. They all wind up funneling through Texas. Conditions in Texas are critical and there's drought so they don't have enough food. They also have this nasty habit of flying over roads and highways at car level. Not quite sure why they do this. Maybe they like the heat from the road and they do use thermal drafts to glide. But thousands and thousands get hit by cars. There are storms that knock them out. And if they're at the wrong place at the wrong time, they could get sprayed with pesticides. It's not easy. Of course, when they land, there are always predators. There are spiders. They get caught in spiders' nests. The praying mantises eat them. Lots of hazards. The butterfly that leaves the northernmost migration is the same butterfly that arrives in Mexico. Is that true? The butterflies that are leaving Canada now are going to fly all the way to Mexico. But when they turn around and start coming back, there's several generations as they come back. Is that the way that works? Yes, it is. One generation goes down to Mexico. That's what's going down now. And they roost there in a small area in Mexico in the mountains in pine trees called oyamel trees. They're there for four to five months. It's a fascinating spectacle with up to 10,000 monarchs on a single tree. The people who go to visit them speak in whispers if they speak at all. It's a very spiritual place. Then, at the end of February, beginning of March, when the sun is in the right place in the sky and the temperature warms up, that signals them to leave. They leave in huge masses, mating and beelining it to the southern states where they lay eggs on milkweed that has just emerged. As soon as the milkweed comes up, the monarchs from Mexico come there, they lay their eggs and they die. A month later, we've got new adult butterflies. Meanwhile, the milkweed in Texas is old and withered. Now they fly north in search of new fresh milkweed to lay their eggs. They may get as far as the northern states or even southern Canada. They lay their eggs and die. So we've got two generations. The first generation is from Mexico. They go to Texas, lay their eggs and die. The second generation, northern United States, southern Canada, lay their eggs and die. Now we in southern Canada, we may have one or two generations there. Going to be the fourth or fifth generation that is right now in August leaving for Mexico. And the miracle is, of course, that not one of the monarchs that's going to Mexico now has ever been there before. Each one goes alone. They don't gather like the geese and one of the geese has been there before. They don't gather like the deer and one of the deer has taken this migration before. Everyone is going to a place it's never been by itself. What we don't talk much about is that after Mexico, it goes to the southern states and it's never been there either. How do we increase the chances of a monarch completing its mission? We make sure it has enough milkweed in the breeding range and enough nectar plants in the migrating range. That's the best thing we can do is plant the only host plant that monarchs have is milkweed and plant the native nectar plants so it can migrate. If we discontinue putting insecticides all over everything, then they have a much better chance of staying alive. I've heard that the monarchs have been called the poster child for nature. What is the bigger picture beyond the monarch? It's really wonderful to have a poster child that's the world's most famous butterfly. Why do we care about one butterfly? Because you're right. It's part of the big picture. It not only shows us how we're doing with all the insects, but anything that we do to save monarchs saves the whole ecosystem. If we plant native plants for the monarchs to lay their eggs on or to nectar on, all the other insects are going to benefit. Do you know that there's more than 100 insects that live on milkweed? There's more than 100 insects that live on goldenrod. Let's not forget the native trees. Just one oak tree can support more than 500 kinds of caterpillars. Once we get into this whole save the butterflies, then what about the other butterflies and, well, what about the moths too? So we better plant, and that's what saves us. Would you explain the connection between food we eat and the insect world, which butterflies and moths would be included in? How is all that connected? Well, the food we eat needs to be pollinated. Butterflies don't do a lot of pollinating, contrary to popular belief. Their value is elsewhere. It's the bees that do most of the pollinating for the foods that we eat. Let me give you an example. Got in my garden some milkweed because I want the monarch butterflies to come and lay their eggs. But I can't just have milkweed. I better put in some nectar plants too. Some beautiful, gorgeous Joe Pye weed and early nectar plants so that the monarchs will come in to feed. And then they'll see, there's milkweed here. I can lay my eggs. Now that we have nectar plants, all the bees come in. A lot more bees than butterflies. Well, now that I've got the bees in my garden, they are going to go to the other half of the garden to pollinate my tomatoes and my squash and my cucumbers. So it's all part of a big package that brings the pollinators to your yard. And then the ones who are really good at it will be near your vegetables. Let's say that I want to increase my insect population, which is kind of counterintuitive to the way a lot of us think. You've told us some plants there, but as a landscape designer, I'm designing this property. Maybe they totally sold out wanting all natives. Or maybe they're just kind of, yeah, natives would be okay to include in what we would think more of a traditional landscape. Where do we start? Or what is your thought process on creating this landscape design? You've got a property that you've been asked to landscape and you want to have a big lawn in it and some gardens with the most exotic plants that your neighbors don't have. They've hired you so they trust you. And they want some advice. How about we put in a little pollinator garden, just a little one. Okay. And then you make sure you've got the right host and nectar plants for your area to prove how gorgeous it can be. You have obedient plant, a range of gorgeous coreopsis that are cut plants that are huge and gorgeous. Then you put that in, you know, trust me, give me a break here, put that in and they've got butterflies. They're all excited about this. Well, why don't we expand the garden a little bit? So you start small. I even know the landscapers who have snuck in some native plants without even telling their clients. What is the worst that could happen? Oh my goodness, you put this gorgeous plant in my garden. I don't think that's going to happen, but oh my goodness, look at this plant. I've got butterflies on it. Wouldn't that be exciting? That's how the landscaper can get into the native plant. The landscapers are going to find that people are getting receptive to the addition of native plants. There is a huge movement going on to bring back the butterflies. People are aware of this. They're seeking out landscapers who know how to do this, and it does not take a long time to know how to do this. So they may be asking the landscapers how to get started and the landscapers can learn very quickly which plants to put in to give the most show. I know that some people are concerned about insects eating their plants. If you're concerned about an insect eating your plant and it's an ornamental plant, well then maybe you shouldn't have that plant. Maybe you should have a plant that will recover when the insects eat it. For example, early everlasting. When the caterpillars lay their eggs on it, for a few weeks, it looks horrible. There's nests all over it. Any gardener would kill everything on there. The nest, the caterpillars, everything. Do you know what happens after all the butterflies emerge and you have caterpillars and butterflies? It's a native plant. The pearly everlasting completely recovers, gives a big show of gorgeous white flowers. They're good as a cut flower and a dried flower. They only need to see evidence of this to realize that it can work. The notion that nothing should be eating anything in my garden, that's disappearing too, because more and more people realize that caterpillars are actually bird food. Most people will agree. They want birds. They put out feeders. It's a multi-billion dollar industry. They pay a lot of money for bird food. Right now, the gold finches are eating my cup plant. I didn't pay for bird food there. The gold finches are eating my echinacea. They are learning that they can get birds to their garden with bird food, but the birds will not build a nest unless they know they can feed their babies. Babies do not eat bird food, but they don't eat bird seed. They eat caterpillars. If they want birds, they've got to have caterpillars. Now they walk out to their oak tree and they see caterpillars on it. Oh my, there's caterpillars on it. Doug Ptolemy has a solution to that. He says, take 10 steps backwards. You take 10 steps backwards and you don't see the caterpillars anymore. Don't look so closely. I look very closely. When I see a chewed leaf, I get excited. I want to find out what chewed it and I want to raise it and see what it becomes. The other thing is the fruit trees are a big problem. We got the fruit trees and we've got tent caterpillars in them and they're making these big white nests. Henry, did you see we've got nests? Come and clear out the nest. Get the blowtorch, get the rake, do whatever you can. I don't like these nests. Oh, it was pesticides. What if we didn't get rid of the nests? What would happen? The birds would come and eat some of the caterpillars. They'd become moths. The tent caterpillars become little moths. Then all the birds feed them to their babies. And we have birds. Have you been in a place that doesn't have a lot of birds or butterflies, Craig? I have. Yes, it's not fun. I visit my mother in Florida every year. She lives near golf courses. There's hardly a mosquito. There's hardly a bug. And you know what that means? There are no birds. There are no butterflies. It's wonderful. People love it. You can have a barbecue and not get bothered by a bee. But the ecosystem's collapsing. We are part of the ecosystem. When the insects go, we go. But what's the solution then? Say it's your mother's house. I would think they're probably doing mosquito control there, because if you don't, the mosquitoes will eat you up. What is the solution? Where's the balance in being able to enjoy the outdoors, mosquito free if you can, then creating environments for caterpillars and birds? Yeah, that's a good question. The mosquito control, if there are deadly diseases around, is one thing. Spraying golf courses is another. For our enjoyment, we have to have a bug free golf course. We have to measure the absolute minimum amount of pesticides that we need to use in order to keep people safe, not to keep them so that they can have their barbecue without a wasp. You need to have your barbecue with a wasp. They're part of life. We need to change the mindset, and there's a huge movement changing the mindset to use fewer chemicals. We have to take that into consideration that we're removing West Nile, but we're also use at least damaging pesticides, minimal amounts to keep safe so that the other side of it isn't. We have huge warnings. Don't let your dog out. Don't let your cat out. Don't let anybody out because we just put all this pesticide on your lawn in the park. That's a balance. It's tough decisions to make. What do you wish people would do differently when designing or building a garden? If we're lucky enough to own property, we need to be stewards of it and plant the native plant that creatures need to survive and not use pesticides which kill creatures. That is what I would like people to consider. I'm not going to ask anybody to give up their grandmother's lilies or anyone to plant 100% native plants because there is a place for non-native plants. Hey, we got to enjoy that garden. And if we have to give up our favorite roses, well, you know what? It's just not going to happen. Keep your roses. Keep your lilies. But one plant at a time. Start with native and try to build that up to 75%. You're going to want to. Once you experiment with native plants, I'm not going to have to convince you anymore. You're going to love it and the neighbors are going to love it. Let me tell you a story. Last year on a neighbor's lawn between the sidewalk and the road, there was a strip of grass. He has a responsibility to take care of that strip of grass, even though it belongs to the city. So the city says it's ours, but you need to take care of it. OK, so I said, can I plant a native plant garden there? He said yes. So I personally dug up 12 beds and collected native plants all over the place. People gave them to me. I bought a few. I put them in 12 beds, one to three plants each. I go and take care of it. Inevitably, people stop. They are fascinated by every plant. What's this? What's that? Why did you plant this one? Oh, really? Monarchs are on there? Oh, my. Can you look at the bees? There's a million bees on this. And what is that that's on it? Oh, what is that? This is great that you've built this thing. They love it. People just need to be exposed to it. And yes, every plant is higher than 10 or 12 inches or two feet. Whatever their regulation is. I have some low ends near the corner because I certainly don't want to make it dangerous with people turning their cars. That's how readily people are going to buy in to the native plants once they see them. So just start with a few and then you'll be convincing me to plant more native plants. What garden mess would you like to smash? One of them is that native plants bring rodents when actually rodents come to your house because of food that's been left out, not native plant gardens. Another one is that a native plant garden doesn't require any maintenance. That's a good one. Or water. If you want your native plant garden to look good, give it a little water. Just a fraction of the amount that you would give your lawn. The work of a native plant garden is still a lot less than your ornamental plant garden. Well, what would be some typical maintenance chores for a native plant garden? Well, I was kind of surprised with my native plant garden when the plants started falling over. I got to stake up my native plants. I got to stake up my goldenrod. I've got to stake up my coreopsis. This isn't right, but I do stake it up. So I have two choices. Why doesn't it need staking in the wild? Because it's dense. They're all together and they all support each other. I could do that, but I personally prefer a more manicured looking garden. I want a plant here and a little bit of space around it. Another plant and a little bit of space around it. Well, that space allows them to fall over. So I stake it up. That's one of the chores. Weeding is another one. If it's really dense, you won't have to weed. I like it to look taken care of, and that keeps the neighbors happy, too. When you're in HOA, you want to keep the neighbors happy. First of all, make sure you're friends with all of them, that they understand what you're doing so that they don't report you and make it look like you're taking care of it. I personally like that. You can put little fences around it or put little rocks or put little signs, and it looks fantastic. What's your earliest garden memory? Nine years ago, I grew up. I didn't do any gardening. My first house, I didn't do any. I had young children. Gardening was not important. In 2012, I wrote a book about monarch butterflies. I started presenting to people about monarch butterflies. What are they going to ask me first? What do I need to plant? Hmm. I better start learning how to plant things. Then they're asking me about other butterflies. So I better develop some expertise in other butterflies. So I did. And I better develop some expertise about butterfly gardening, so I better plant one. So I looked up a few books and I learned a few things. And the best thing, I've got to have a garden and I've got to walk the walk. Take out my whole back grass, which was really fun because I got my teenage boys to dig it out. Got a book and I made a whole list of what I need to plant. I looked at height. How high is it going to be? So what do I need to plant in the middle? How much water does it need? So which on the hill should I put it on the high end or the low end? And I knew I needed continuous bloom. So I'm looking at the seasons. Does it bloom in the spring or the summer or the fall? And I got everything on this chart. And I go to my native plant nursery with my list of native plants that I'm going to put in my garden. They had about one quarter of the plants that I wanted. I got the twenty five percent of my plants and then I walked around and I said, OK, I'll take this one, this one and this one and that one. Some of them lived and some of them didn't. That was nine years ago when I started my native plant garden, laid them all out and planted them. But the next year I had a garden. It didn't take all that long. I had a garden. And if there was a plant that didn't make it like the cardinal flower, because I put it in a spot that wasn't moist enough. Well, that was an opportunity to put something else in. This is every gardeners huge problem is where am I going to put the next plant? So if I make a mistake and the plant dies, I can put in something else. What was it about monarchs that got you excited enough to write a book? It was other people who encouraged me to write the book. I never had any aspirations to write a book. When I was in in law school, I met a guy. We started going out and his idea of a fun date was to ride to a conservation area, have a picnic and look for caterpillars. We're going to look for caterpillars. So I married him. And then I spent 20 years raising caterpillars with him and with our children to go to the cottage. We rent a cottage and now we got to go out. We're going on a caterpillar hunt. There's a lot of hours in a day when you've got young kids or going on a caterpillar hunt. And this is fun. I found one. I found a bigger one. I found two and we are having the bestest time with looking for caterpillars. OK, so we bring them home, put them in a container. What do we do the next day? We go out. Well, we got to get some milkweed to feed them. So now we go out and we're busy gathering. I'm telling you, it kept us busy. We got to go get some milkweed. And we have the fun again because we find more caterpillars. Well, let's take a picture of the kids and the caterpillars. Fantastic. I'm 69 years old. And at that time, to take a picture, it cost 50 cents for every picture that you developed, and it was seven dollars and change to develop the role of 12 or 20 pictures. That was a lot of money. When you took a picture, you better really want to take a picture. We took a few pictures of the kids and we took a few pictures of the butterflies. When the butterfly emerges, it can't fly for about two hours. You can get great pictures of the kids with the caterpillars because it can't fly yet. And then when its wings are dry enough, it flies off. OK, so I still have those pictures. What happened was digital photography. Oh, you can take lots of pictures. You don't develop them anymore. You can take really it doesn't cost per picture. No, no, you never even need to make a picture. Great. Well, let's take 10 pictures then. Let's take 50. Let's take 100 pictures of this caterpillar. We don't need to take a course. Zoom in, zoom out, right, left. And if you take enough pictures, you've got a gorgeous picture. We print a few pictures. Then my kids grow up and tell me, Mom, do you know what? We don't print pictures anymore. Really? Well, how do you look at them then? You look at them on the computer. OK, Craig, why don't you come over to my house next week and I'm going to show you pictures of my butterflies on the computer. I'm going to be really popular. OK, so now we got the pictures on the computer. We don't have albums anymore, and nobody ever sees your pictures until I was at a client's house and I saw on his coffee table a book, Sydney's 90th birthday party. How can there be a book about you with all your grandchildren in it and pictures of you when you're a kid? How did you get a book like this? And he said, my granddaughter made it on the computer. And that's how I discovered photo books. So now all my pictures are going into photo books. Now I can show you that without bothering you too much. Literally hundreds of people said, Carol, you need to make a book. These pictures are fantastic. And that's the beginning of how the book got started. What's in the book? What are you teaching or what are you accomplishing with the book? What my friends didn't know was that my pictures were not good enough for a coffee table book. I had a cheap camera, a point and shoot. And they're all telling me to make a book. Eventually, I say, you know what? If so many people telling me to make a book and it's not a coffee table book, I better figure out how to get these pictures out there somehow. I also have a master's degree in marketing. I should be able to figure this out. I went to the library and I looked at what books are there for kids. There had to be 20, 25 monarch book for kids. Only one or two of them had any photographs in them. They were all illustrated. Now my photographs were looking really good compared to what was out there. Now I can do a kid's book. What am I going to say in this kid's book? Well, I'll tell them how to raise them because I know how to raise them. And I've got the pictures. I draft up a book. I take it to only three publishers and one of them says, yes. What happens after that is the publisher said, you know what? You should really have something about butterfly gardening in there. Went home and did a homework assignment and wrote a chapter on butterfly gardening. Then the publisher said, well, you really should talk about the migration a little bit more. And every week I went to the publisher and didn't realize it, but he was extracting a comprehensive book from me where talking about raising them is only a small part of it. Get the whole life cycle in just 48 pages. The pictures are beautiful. Now kids and adults have what I didn't have. I had the caterpillar and I couldn't answer anybody's question. You want to know how many generations it is? I didn't know. You want to know how far it is to Mexico? I didn't know. You want to know how long it sits in its chrysalis? I didn't know all these things I put into my book. And now if you're raising them, you may as well become an expert in 48 pages. Now you can teach the school, the library, the scouts. That's the information that's in the book. And of course, at the end, there are questions to discuss and all the references you need to learn more. You've been fairly successful with that, too, haven't you? Well, I didn't even know it was a good book when I published it. But now 60,000 copies later, I do. And I had the gift of reprinting. Every time he's reprints the book, the publisher. And that's six times I've been allowed to improve it. Now it's a really good book. Even the first book was good because I had it checked with two best monarch scientists, Dr. Chip Taylor and Lincoln Brower. I had them look at it to check it for accuracy. And that's what made it different than all the others. It was only at the last minute they came in. I had another person who was going to check it. If they hadn't checked it, it would have been an embarrassment. They did check it. They corrected the mistakes because the books are littered with mistakes. And now it's accurate, gorgeous, funny, interesting. And that's why it has more than a thousand five star reviews on Amazon. Oh, that's great. Well, I don't know that we've actually said the title of your book. Yeah, it's How to Raise Monarch Butterflies, a Step-by-Step Guide for Kids. Everybody tells me that that's not the best title because it's a step-by-step guide for everybody, adults, too. And they find it interesting. Have you written any other books? Yes, I've written a book called Five Butterflies. It goes through the life cycle of four common butterflies and a Cecropia moth, because once you're finished with the butterflies, you've got to get into moths because they can be 10 times more exciting than butterflies. This is a ruse for getting kids off their computer and into nature. It's disguised as five butterflies, but it's really to get kids into nature. The point is get out of the house and look for these caterpillars. Then look up, look down, because I don't care what you fall in love with. As long as it's living outside, it's fun and interesting. And there's pictures in this book of stunning photographs of fungus, fish, frogs. Did you take them? I didn't take all of them. What I did for the pictures that I was missing is I called upon my whole network to contribute to the book, and that's why I have the best pictures available because other people have donated their photographs. Tell us a funny garden story or a monarch story. Once you get out into the wild to hunt for something, great things are going to happen. I'm out with my daughter. We're having this fantastic hunt. Most of the time, the monarch lays the egg on the underside of the leaf. Not always. In my book, I show you five other places. It could lay its eggs, but usually it's on the underside. So we're turning over hundreds and hundreds of milkweed leaves looking for a monarch egg or caterpillar when my daughter screams. Oh, my, she just screamed. She's terrified. She's screaming. I go over. Now I have to do an investigation. I very, very carefully look under this leaf and there is a monster under it. A monster, a prehistoric monster. It's only a few inches big, but boy, is it ugly and it's got claws, but it's not moving. Huh? It's got a hole in its back. That means that I'm looking at an exoskeleton. There was an insect in there and it crawled out through the back of this exoskeleton. So that was really fun. There was actually no bug there at all. After that, I learned that it was a cicada. What a fascinating insect that cicada is. After that, I sought out cicadas and now I've been lucky enough to catch a few of them when they're crawling out through that back and I've even held one in my hand as it pumped up its wings. What's your most valuable garden mistake? Well, my garden mistake is I don't like to read a lot of instructions. That's a barrier for me. I'm not going to do it if I have to learn everything first. I put the plant in, kind of hope for the best. I killed my first butterfly weed. It just died. It's an orange, gorgeous kind of milkweed and low growing. Everybody should have it. So I bought another one and I planted that and I killed that too. I killed it because it was near some annuals. Annuals are good too. Annuals need watering. And the butterfly weed got watered. Don't water butterfly weed. It likes to be dry. Now I've got gorgeous butterfly weed and I don't put it near my annuals and it's growing. What have you recently learned about horticulture or gardening? I was really lucky this year. I went to a conference the first time I've ever been to a garden communicators conference. We got tours of so many gardens and because I was never into other kind of gardening, I really didn't know what was going on. What was really fun was to see apples growing on wires such that you could pick them at any height. So that was pretty fascinating to learn. I learned about different kinds of eggplants and how you raise 10,000 hydrangeas at the same time and ship them all over the country. These were things that I learned about gardening that I didn't know before. I'd like for you to complete this statement. In my garden, I have. In my garden, I have 20 or 30 species of native plants. I love them all. They're in all different colors. They grow at all different times. I have the standard echinacea. I have swamp milkweed, which is the milkweed that I recommend most often. I have common milkweed, prairie milkweed, world milkweed, and butterfly weed, as well as many different kinds of goldenrod, tall sunflower-like plants like Coreopsis, turtlehead, and many different kinds of host plants. Just love it. What's your favorite thing to do in the garden? Is to look for caterpillars. Yeah, I observed you in one of the gardens that we visited. You're over at the milkweed. You were looking for eggs. Oh, it was really important. If I see a native plant, it draws me like a magnet. I can't look at anything else until I've inspected it. At the Minnesota Arboretum, I looked at all the milkweed and found a caterpillar, and I was unhappy that I couldn't take it with me. I wouldn't take it with me from a public garden. Anyway, I left it for everybody else to see. What did you learn from your garden last year that you're applying this year? I have finally learned to heed the advice of gardeners that are older and wiser than me. We've got this beautiful running bellflower. It's not the name of it. It's stalks of purple bells, and it's very pretty. It's a non-native invasive. And a few people told me to get rid of it completely. But hey, what's a few of them going to hurt? They go so nicely with the yellow. I'm going to leave just a few of them in. And they said, you'll never get rid of it. So they're right. I never will get rid of it. Doesn't matter how much you dig it up. If you leave a millimeter of it, it will grow again. It's in all our ravines. It's everywhere. Everybody's got it in the garden. And what do you say to them? It's invasive. You've got to get rid of it. But Carol, it's gorgeous. OK, it's gorgeous, but it's going to kill everything else you have. And you're not going to be able to get rid of it. So I should have learned this lesson when they told it to me about Canadian goldenrod. I'm putting in a native plant garden. I've got to put in some Canadian goldenrod. Well, when it's a native plant, you don't say it's invasive. You say it's aggressive. What does aggressive mean? OK, it's getting too big. I'll cut it back. It's a lot more than that. It sends out its runners and kills the other plants. So I've learned that when a gardener is older and wiser and cautions you about aggressive or invasive plants, you should listen to them. What are your future plans for your garden? I don't have future plans. The plans come to me. The universe is set up that what I should be doing comes to me. And how does it come to me? Well, I do get tend to get out of the house. So I may go to an event and someone is trying to get rid of a certain number of native plants and they beg me to take it. OK, then, like all the gardeners, I've got to find a place for it. This year, somebody came to my garden tour and insisted on giving away plants, which is great. Fantastic. You got plants to give away. Well, they didn't all go. And now she's leaving me with these two and his hops. I don't have a place for them. I really don't. So I have to dig up a different plant, which really actually did need digging up. There's a story behind that. Anyway, I put it in and it is doing fantastic. Whatever I'm supposed to have in my garden next year, will definitely come to me and I will figure out what to do with it. So there's always something new in the garden. Isn't that fun? Yes. What plant are you in love with this week? Milkweed. I'm in love with it every week. Reason I'm in love with it this week is because I was lucky enough to have gifted to me some young monarch caterpillars because I don't have any more in my yard. In another city, I got these little caterpillars. And why do I want them now? It's because I have another tagging event. What excites the kids at a tagging event is caterpillars. So now I've got the milkweed from my yard and I'm bringing it in and I'm feeding the last of my caterpillars this season. But the pods now are gorgeous, too. Winter interests, the pods are starting to explode and they are gorgeous. You know what? There's just so much to love about a milkweed. How would you like to wrap up our conversation today? People like me, we have some free time. Kids have grown up and there's a lot of causes that we can choose. I'm choosing two of them. One is that kids aren't living the way we did when we grew up playing outside. They're trapped on their devices. It's a problem with their mental health and their physical health. We got another problem is that our ecosystems are collapsing and we're losing our birds and butterflies. I've got a simple solution to both of these problems. Raise a caterpillar.

"API, so it's sad. We didn't we knew about that. I mean, you know, can't control everything, anybody does. Outside of practice, nobody knew that was going to happen. College kids around freedom has been troubled. In order to make trouble type of trouble on this case, they not only start the wrong time. We'll address it when our short abuse comes to us, they do their own work, but. The article that it came out and also stayed in premiums. In our view, excuse me, you know, the comfort of everything that I had learned. NATO's earlier today in Tuscaloosa, let's bring in Carol Robinson, who is one of the most respected reporters in the state of Alabama. She's been covering the story and had the latest today. Carol, first of all, thanks so much. Knowing you a very long time ever believe we would have conversations about things like this on this program, but it's great to have you even though the story is rather dreadful. How are you? I'm good. Thank you for having me. How are you? Carol, doing well, but I think a lot of people across the country and especially in Alabama scratching their heads today upon reading your piece. And I realized there are a lot of layers to it, but why don't we just sit back and try to understand exactly what you are reporting here and we'll leave it to others to interpret what it all means, but let's start with the beginning. The story is 5 weeks old since the murder and today we learned a completely new and startling element. I'll hand it off to you to explain. You're correct. I will say that the word on the street really since this happened was that Brandon Miller was there. And so I fully went into the hearing today. Expecting to hear what random Miller's involvement was. And that is what we heard. And this was a situation where they'd all been out of the club, Brandon Miller had dropped off Darius miles. Didn't want to go in because the line was too long. And so don't know where Brandon Miller went after that. At some point, Michael Davis, who is Darius miles best friend since junior high was apparently trying to get the attention of the victim and was dancing outside of her car and there was some sort of conversation between the victims, boyfriend and Michael Davis, the boyfriends that she's got a boyfriend, you can move on. David said, I don't want your girl. There was some kind of drawing back and forth. Then according to the testimony at some point, shortly thereafter, Darius miles tested Brandon Miller and said, you know, I need my joint, which is slang for I need my gun. And Brandon Miller came back to the scene of where they were, which was by a little just on the strip. And they went to Brandon Miller's car and he said, you know, the heat is in the hat, which meant the gun is in the hat. Indicated that there was a round in the chamber. And they went back to the victim's car and that's when the shooting started. And it was during that shooting that Brandon Miller car was twice. His windshield, there were two cars that were blocking the street, which the police said did not allow the victim to leave. They had left the scene earlier and then had come back. So at this point, they were supposedly somehow blocked from leaving and then the shooting happened. We were Chang with Carol Robinson, Carol, I realized I'm asking you some questions that are probably been out there for a while, but at this moment that Miller hands the gun off Miller doesn't technically hand the gun off the gun is in the back seat of Miller's car and Davis and I'll get the gun out. Okay. Do we know who the gun is registered to? It was Darius miles Gunn. Okay. But Miller just had Miller just had possession of it, correct? Yeah, Miller was had gone home because the line at the bar was too long. Okay. And various texted him and said, you know, I need my gun, basically. Okay. So he just simply brought her back and then brought it back. The two people that are now in jail, one of them grabbed the gun out of the back of the car. As far as I don't know if this even matters, but I'll ask it anyway. Do we have any idea through the texting and the communication did Brandon Miller have any idea why he was going to get the gun other than it was not his and he was simply, it had been requested. Yes, there was no indication that anything beyond I need my gun, you know, with that. And we've talked to many people today and that is likely why I'm a lawyer, but that is likely why Brandon Miller wasn't charged. He had no knowledge of what was going down. Supposedly, you know, and no intent, no knowledge of intent. For all he knew, Darius miles wanted to show to someone to sell to someone or self defense. I mean, he had no reason given to him, I think, about why Darius miles wanted the gun. And when the shooting started, I realized there are a lot of people involved here, but naturally you understand the interest in Brandon Miller. He was, what was he? I feel like I'm questioning you on the stand. I'm not. I'm just trying to get some understanding. Where was he and what was he doing? He was, he was there, but we don't know exactly where. We just know that car was struck. Got it, got it. I know you've done a lot of reporting on the victim and her family and can we talk about that for a second because there's a human element here as I know you have reported and this has been something that you've done so eloquently throughout your career that I think we forget. Because there's a basketball player or too bad. There was actually another basketball player there too, wasn't there? Yes, there was. Jaden Bradley. Was he with? I know I'm getting technical here. Was he with Miller, what was he doing? They both had cars there. Okay. And I believe Jaden had gone into the club with Darius miles and Michael Davis, et cetera. So he was already there. And then Miller had dropped off various miles and then came back allegedly with the gun. Can we talk about the other side for a moment, Carol? Because I just feel like this is a sports show, obviously, and everyone's concerned what's going to happen to Alabama star player. But tell us a little bit more about the victim here. And I know you've had conversations with her family. Right. Jamia Harris, she was 23. She was the single mother of a 5 year old son. She worked she and her. She lived with her mother, who was in the courtroom today, and they were pretty much tag teaming it. One of them worked at night and one of them weren't during the day so that somebody could always be with Kane and that was her son. She had just gone to Tuscaloosa, her cousin, Asia Humphrey is a full-time student at Alabama and she had gone to visit her cousin for the weekend. Doing what people that age do. You know, she had not been in any trouble or anything like that. She was just a beautiful young girl. Who adored her son. I have not heard any bad to say about jamia. Carol, in terms of what we learned today, what was this hearing about and where does this case go next? So basically, this was a preliminary hearing, which is when the suspect first publicly hear the evidence against them, typically you have the lead detective on the case testify as to what led to the charges, what the witnesses told them. It was very rare today that the defense attorneys actually called witnesses to the stand.

"Carol, why do you hate native plants? The study I heard that when I was contacted about speaking at a conference, good friend actually, on the committee, said there were some people who were going to blackball the conference and not come because of you being the speaker and I said, what in the world I said, you hate native plants, and I was like, that's ridiculous. I love native plants, but I don't adhere to a native plant purism philosophy. I think it can actually be harmful. In fact, I wish there were a lot more native plants that I really adore using that are kind of hard to come by in the trade. Not anti native plants and native purism because I think it can have some dangers in the long run. What are those dangers you're seeing with the united purist movement? This idea that they have to be used if you are guarding for wildlife as a whole idea that native insects need native plants to survive simply isn't true. If we say that it has to be native and we require people and, you know, there are laws now being passed in some places that say it has to be native in these particular new gardens that are going in. And some of those are actually pairing some out that are non native plants that wildlife is already adjusted to. It sounds so logical, native insects need native plants. Force you're on board with that because we care about our insects because now our birds insects owned up the food chain. Everything depends on our insects. A fear that by limiting our choices and insisting that it has to be native, we're actually going to lack the diversity we need in today's really drastic changes in our challenging climate. I want to use every tool at our disposal. Something that has always kind of confused me is what is considered a native plant, is it plants on this continent, the stay, the region in the state, or just in my backyard, what really is a night of plant..

Well he had been in the military in korea and he had been a trainer of the other soldiers in terms of basically the battle hanrahan stuff so he was really rough. Now this i wasn't used to ours used to school and academia and it might need rush in the sense of mentally hard but for example. One time he did a sweep on me any caught me off at the back of my side it had roost big felt like fist inside of it so he was very hard in of these. I learned from him because in the beginning. I thought i can't do that. I wouldn't even be emotionally capable of kicking somebody. How could i possibly so hard. I didn't just get hate him. Bruce l. looks like a fist. And i'm back at somebody's side but i do this. I if you if you just grabbed my rich too i thought. Oh no can't do me. In then i found out it was hard it was fired.

Now I had three cats at the time. They're all sitting back like smoking cigarettes and have a cocktail. They're not going to mess with that mouth. They're just laying there, but the sort of mouth so I run out. I get a bucket and a tennis racket. The mouse is up on my mantle running around. What's the bucket for guitar? Over the top of it was going to see if I could, like, scoop it into the bucket. And then, like, Get it out, throw it. No, I didn't. I feel amazing. He went back and got right back out from where he came in. I'll stinker. Yeah, I don't know what to do with the Chipmunks. Chipmunks are nasty. Well, can't you?

"Case people have forgotten. We're at the exciting Debate over the ratification of the constitution and madison has introduced this idea of The militia being part of the federal government correct yes. It's already in the draft constitution. The south is not happy because they know where they suspect that those darn freedom loving northerners would not help them put down a slave rebellion if they were called upon to do so right. Oh yeah okay they were. They were afraid of that. Were afraid of that. So so where are we. So what what. What is what is the. What is the twist here what happens. And so what happens is is that george mason starts pounding on the issue of having a bill of rights of put in the constitution these amendments that could curtail the power of the federal government and that would protect basically the militia. And so when you think about and so. And they were very clear that if they didn't get that that what they would do is that they would push really hard for a new constitutional convention and what madison was afraid of. Is that this would be pandora's box and it would hurdle the united states right back to the unworkable years of the articles of confederation. And so he's wants to make sure that he's got this bill of rights there in what he knows from the battles over the in the constitutional convention itself was that the south will play some serious hardball with the the being of the united states with the foundation of the united states. The existence of he wasn't so wrong to be afraid of that. I mean a few years one hundred years later right right to be worried. He was wrong to me worry at all. Mit smelled it. Held it So i mean this was they. They when they wanted to get the three fisk law in order to get representation in government because the south was afraid that it didn't have enough people when it came to the house of representatives. Were out the number breath that that they didn't have enough people. They would always be outvoted in federal in the federal system as so they demand its first they demanded lord helped me. They demanded that the enslave be counted on a full equality with whites which led l. bridge jerry to say. Excuse me i thought you said they were property so so if they're full equality with whites their citizens right and they can vote. Why did you give them the right to vote. And they're like no that's not what we saying and and and then another delegate said excuse me so then you count them for your state representation right now. If you don't count for the state how on earth you going account for the federal and they said let me tell you what we don't get this. We don't at least get three fifths. We walk we walk. Madison was use to the hard ball at the south with clay and so win George mason was like patrick henry who hated james madison from the depths and the breadth in the heights that his social reach hated him. Some james madison and madison knew it. He was like they will scuttle the united states of america. They will call up a new constitutional convention. I've got to get this bill of rights through the first congress against it ratified and and so madison goes up to that first congress. And he's drafting these amendments because they're pouring in from all of the different state. He's he's he's dissing them and when you think about them. We ended up with the freedom of speech. Freedom of the press the right to not have a state sponsored religion the right not to be illegally searched and seized the right to a speedy and fair trial the right not to have cruel and unusual punishment the right to a well regulated militia. Weird when he put it that way carol for the security of a free state what yeah is.

It's an incredibly risky choice to say. I'm gonna make a take this incredible risk because it's not just like who. Oh who am. I going to fight for decisions decisions right. It's making this incredibly dangerous choice. Absolutely the precarity of black life is for me. One of the the salient points that courses through this book That black folks would continue to fight for their freedom would continue to fight for democracy. We continue to fight for justice but in that fight how they fought in what they fought for made the absolutely vulnerable to the violence. That would rain down on them. The state violence that would rain down on them. The state sanctioned violence that would rain down on them the precarity of black life of courses through this book because it courses through american history so all those thousands of of of Enslaved people who chose to join the british were taking were already taking their lives into their own hands as it were. I mean the finally being able to take their lives are in hands rather than someone else's hands but this incredibly dangerous choice to even try to escape to go fight for the british would incredible bravery there and then let's talk about the black people that fought for the army because dammit carol i don't know i mean i assume there have been some writings or narratives from these people where we get some kind of insight into the choices that they made and you know it. It's there's a as again a precariousness there And so i'm going to go to the point after the war crime where You know so. They were offered their freedom for fi- date with then you get a court case in virginia in the early eighteen hundreds that says. Yeah yeah whatever. they're black. There is automatic assumption that they are have slaved and they have to prove otherwise. So think about that. Who have fought for this nation's freedom and you still have to prove that you are not enslaved. We'll this that continues on through today. You have to prove that you are not dangerous. You'd have to prove that you did not provoke the violence. That came raining down on you right. Because because as black as the default threat in american society that is what has helped feed since of precarity the reality of the precarity of black life. I'm gonna destroy one more time with this choice. So the colonies could not have won the revolution without the black people that fought on their side. Absolutely there is no reason for the people who made the choice to fight with the white soldiers of the continental army. I feel like what to call it. A leap of faith is not enough right like i said. I'm curious to decide to do that rather than either. Do nothing you know. I mean that's a choice. It's evaluates because again every choice that a black person made at this point in time is in precarity right like there's no safe choice to escape is dangerous to stay is dangerous to fight for the army's dangerous so low those that fought for the army. Do we know why there was a sense that they could be free And there was a sense of the language of of democracy the language of of a new kind of regime that we hold these truths. There was this this sense of again freedom. The freedom is a powerful elixir And the sense that the people who had once held you in bondage held you and your family in bondage were saying lord we need you now god we need you now we need you now so desperately that if you come fight for us you will be free care that gives me chills. Yeah yeah i mean when you think about it that that has been the promise and the fight for so long. If you fight in this army for democracy for american values you will be free and what we know from black men in the military up for a long long long span of time. That was not true. And that's the thing that that yeah it gives me like. I have a physical reaction to that The bravery to take that chance that expression of the highest ideals that the revolution was supposedly fought for. Right yes yes and you know so one of the things that i continue to argue. Is that our freedom struggles have been on that aspirational plane of what the united states says. It is Not what it actually is but what it says it is and that is where you have seen these incredible freedom struggles of people fighting to gain access to those aspirations to that democracy to that freedom to that equality to that justice as it's one of the arguments of the sixteen nineteen projects that it's people of color black people especially that have kept america honest as it were or tried to all.

"While that many networking groups avoid the acceptance of multiple members with the same service or business offering many networking groups limit membership to one of each service type business to avoid competition between members while i can understand this from the point of view of giving and receiving referrals. I don't necessarily agree with it. From a true networking perspective and our daily lives. We often compared different companies or services before deciding on the one we want to use so it seems only reasonable to have a variety of options available in a networking group to the fact that wow is billed as a social network for female entrepreneurs across canada is what sets it apart from the other business networks. I think the idea that we can be supportive of each other's business while we do our own business sometimes seems to get lost in the business network. I don't mean that. They aren't supportive of their members. Quite the contrary the members of each business network that i've been introduced to work hard to support their fellow members. It's usually a prerequisite of membership that you bring in business or at least potential business to the other members of the group on a regular basis but in wow. It's a bit different because there are numerous members that offer the same basic services. For example there might be two or three accountants. Numerous real estate agents consultants from many of the same. Mlm companies and coaches for everything from physical fitness business to lifestyle people from outside this network often scoff at it wondering how anyone can be successful if they have competitors in the same group. But that's the whole point of how to help all women entrepreneurs by sharing our expertise in our good and bad in the hopes that someone might benefit from them and the ideas that it's not trying to be the best business network for finding customers. It's supposed to be a business network for the entrepreneurs so to help them grow and to help them build a better business. I truly believe what carol said. If you love what you're doing it changes your life for the better. Your life improves if it helps someone else and what better way to help someone else. Then by sharing your skills with them this network is more than just a business network the women and wow of all ages and from all walks of life so one thing they all share is a desire to help others build a better life for themselves by serving others. He helped not only that person. The community that person serves in return. You'll reap the benefit of seeing. How your own skills and experience can help others grow and prosper. And there's absolutely no better feeling than knowing that you've helped someone move a forward step in their jeremy. Something carol mentioned in the interview was about the law of attraction. This is something that. I've never put a lot of stock in the idea of what you think about you bring about. It was a bit to woo for me at the start. Of course. I've seen the movie the secret and i've read a lot about the ideas a law of attraction and depending on who you follow there are a lot of different ways of the law of attraction can be manifesting itself in your life and i think that it's really important and i think it's one of the things that brings most of the people in wow together is the idea that they're all looking for the better parts or the best parts of life. The general idea behind the law of attraction is that it helps you manifest your desires and use those desires to your advantage. Basically it means that our thoughts our feelings our beliefs play a big part in what happens in our lives and by being aware of this we can influence our thoughts and attract what we want broken down. Simply the law of attraction says like attracts like meaning. That what you're concentrating on is what you tend to see and experience. It doesn't matter what you're concentrating on his good or bad. Just tends to show up more forcefully in your life for example. When you're having a bad day at work you might slam a drawer. Shut and catch your finger in it. Then you get angry because that hurts and you jerk your hand free and accidentally knock over your coffee mug and you pour coffee over yourself. You don't have time to clean up for your meeting so you're gonna be uncomfortable doing a presentation because you're worrying about the stains in the wetness on your clothes and you don't do as good a job as you normally do on the presentation. You know you've messed it up and you go home feeling frustrated recounting to yourself. All the things have gone wrong in your day as you pull into the driveway. You child's tricycles in the way so you can't park properly in grab the trike and you toss it aside bending the handlebars now your child's crying and your spouses upset because you've just got angry but something really minor your conclusion. Nothing ever goes right in my life. So you're probably wondering what this has to do with life beyond retirement right bear with me. I think i can pull it all together in a little bit. Another idea stemming from the law of attraction is that nature bores vacuum this is most easily demonstrated by phenomenon that i call the clean flat surface. I'm sure you're familiar with it although it's very elusive state. It doesn't matter where it is in your house as soon as you clean off. Some flat. Surface stuff finds its way to it and the services once again cluttered with debris. It could be today's mail for those of you who still get snail or maybe it's car keys in wallet but most often it tends to be just junk things that don't really have a home elsewhere and probably belong in the garbage. But you just can't bring yourself to throw them out quite yet. I know personally. I've given up on trying to keep the flat surfaces in our home empty. It's just not worth the effort. The final piece of the pie. That is the law of attraction. Is the concept that the president is always perfect. This one is harder to grasp for some people. The basic premise. Is that if you focus on how to make your present better. It will improve and drawl all three of these concepts together. This is the one that you have to start with as you focus on improving one thing in your current situation you start to see similar improvements in other aspects of your day remember like attracts like and as the improvement start to clear out the negative parts. There's more room for good to come in. Nature abhors vacuum. Remember and finally all these improvements meld together to make your situation better because the president is always perfect. So let's look at this from the retirement and beyond point of view. I'll see if i can bring it all together. You're done with a nine to five world and you're wondering what's going come next. Maybe you're a little bored because you don't have the social interaction of the office anymore and you're wondering if maybe retiring was a bit of a mistake you got your whole day in front of you and it doesn't look good a big empty day but you remember hearing that the president is always perfect so you look for something you can say is going. Well look at all the aspects of your day. Did you sleep well and wake up refreshed. Did you enjoy a relaxed breakfast now. There's no need to rush to the office. Are you able to read the newspaper or watch the news on the tv. You're online if that's something that you like to do. What about chatting with a neighbor or your partner or child or whoever might be at home with you. The ideas define one thing. That's going well and focus on it. How can you expand the good of that pushing out something. That maybe isn't going as well as it could have been or can you improve one thing. That isn't going exactly the way you'd like it. That little improvement leaves a void that vacuum the nature of wars. And that means that there's room for something else good to come in so look for it. Figure out what it is because.

"Our system so smart. It'll do it for you. Act dot org to check out to help her out all right so one more thing just because i know that your you know your time is precious. You have a lot of stuff going on I do have to ask this question. I'm going to release the tiger one more time because that tiger that we have sampled here is valentine valentine now a movie star in the army too was tell me about this pattern on that was patterned after sapphires. The white tiger at the sanctuary and it was such a nice tribute tour because we found out that she had been used as the model for that just days before we ended up losing her and so it's nice to know that she'll live on his ambi- now so she's she's in the new she's gonna be in the new movie. I believe it's on netflix. The movie army army of the dead. Zack snyder's late. It's like batista's in it okay. Lead says the new batista movie so there is a zombie tiger. And that's the biggest part of if you ever watched the trailer of it because it looks like it comes off as normal. We've seen every there's been nine million zombie movies out there and everyone's like oh zombies people with guns and fighting but then there's a zombie tiger just comes out and it's like for the first time you're seeing this big fancy just changes the game a little bit because i mean county. Yeah carol can probably attest to the fact that it's hard enough when they're living and breathing to tame tiger but when they're zombie tigers out there. It's definitely something that tiger in the movie right the white tag but did you. Did you have money in the movie that i thought i heard kimba kimber way line. Yeah that was a rib of lion king or lion king over kimball backwards but all right so two things one because i want to ask carol. Qna today. but i also wanna new going to the carol. Have you ever. You were talking about the white tigers. As soon as someone says white tigers automatically. I think of feeding roy and automatically. Did you guys go after them. During the whole when he was alive and everything when they were making tigers disappear in a different way and hover over cloud and everything have been that had to be endangering. The tiger. can't be anything. Good i mean. And that's why. I think the tiger turned on him. And when i'm done and bit him and like you know eight and half of his face or whatever it was like did you guys won't have to them. You know people want people that are in that industry want their public to believe that they only trade these cats through what they call positive reinforcements the cat. That's a trick. The cat gets a treat if that were the case they wouldn't have to carry shocking Shocked what do they call those cash. Rod carry whips. They wouldn't have to carry sticks the reason they have to carry. Those weapons is because that's how the cats are actually trained. It's through beating and shocking and starving. And when they see the the keeper the trainer carrying those things in their back pocket which they almost do they fear that. It's the real thing so of course nobody's going to take a cattle prod out onto stage in front of people but they'll put something in their pockets. That looks like it says that. The cat thinks that they're going to get shocked if they do something wrong. And so we were always against those kinds of events and especially them because then promoting the white tiger so much. The only way that you get white tigers. It's true severe inbreeding. Which causes all kinds of birth defects. They usually die young. They're always cross-eyed even if they don't look cross-eyed their vision that saint gene that creates the white coat. Ause the optic nerve to be wired to the wrong side of the brain and so it's just such a cruel cruel industry that we have spoken out about bounds from the very beginning and we actually had so much of an impact that zoos stopped breeding white tigers. Once we made it clear how that was happening. So when when was it roy. Morgan is facing. Who's the one the one that was attacked by month core and then just recently secre died died of old. I think roy was the one that had the the puncture wound in the throat. So when he died. Did you like go like goofy. You deserved it was part of you. That was like you shouldn't have been screwing around with the cats like literally like tempting fate. You're playing with you're playing with fire and you're pissing off a loose like a five hundred pound beast literally was bound to happen eventually right flirting with and i think i think that was the best thing that came of. That was the fact that everybody thought greeted. Roy is being the best camers tiger tamers in the world and if they could have that kind of an accident and what does that. Say about your neighbor next door. That thinks he's gonna training tucker gonna bench village. Women are going in the. Bronx was the bronx tiger. All holland was in harlem. And they a tiger in in like an apartment in the projects in the projects. It was in the house. I know the projects is rough. Dan damn yeah and then they tried the people that live below them. The reason they knew that the cat was in there because it was peeing on the force by started leaking further. Pp's this guy had alligator take these again walk. Said when they had when they to or not when they tried to put tiger to sleep they said boy he hit the wall of the room. He was in so hard building shook. Of course. he's i believe cara. What's the biggest like a tiger king. Yeah what's the weight on tiger. The biggest hikers we ever had we had two that were right around. Seven hundred and fifty pounds. Each lakers can be over a thousand pounds. Which is a cross between a lion. Gotta live next door to me that way that much but you can't that the only candidate noses kick cats phantom machine on that note i was gonna ask you the day we're just asking like what's the stupidest injury you have but something tells me around a bunch of now giant tiger's there might be like did you ever like you know slipping tiger poop or something like what was. What's the weirdest injury you ever had. Worst injury actually. That i ever got was too bob. Cats words fighting in a cage. And i could not break it up from outside the cage. And so i've just got mad. I was feeding the cats. At through down my buckets. I charge into the cage and as i went charging into the cage there was a piece of wire sticking out and it entailed by leg and it just stopped me in my tracks because i could not move and it just ripped and the cast. Stop fighting look at me. Like oh my god. She's gonna die. It started off like one of those old timey jokes to bob cats right. And they're fighting in a cage and then he thinks he's in impaled by the end of it. That's not good kinda funny. 'cause they stop fighting us this slowdown slapping each other and look over to carol who is impaled on a wall. That's built up on. What do you think phil. Maybe we should stop fighting for..
