Newsom Failed to Publicly Disclose SVB Ties
"Intercept reported yesterday, the governor Newsom did not tell anybody while he lobbied for the bailout that he had three businesses, Cato debt and pump check, three wineries owned by Newsom, clients of SVB. If that is in fact correct, should Gavin Newsom be testifying before the House oversight committee of the banking committee. Well, he might end up testifying for a grand jury as well if that's correct. I do think that there is probably a lot of feather betting among people who are pumping the administration full of panic to get them to bail out Silicon Valley bank or brown on Twitter all day long all week long, talking about how the entire banking

"The Federal Reserve's chair says higher interest rates are unlikely to cause a deep U.S. recession Inflation is the highest in 40 years and the fed has been boosting interest rates at the fastest clip since when Paul Volcker and the Central Bank jacked rates to roughly 19% That triggered a deep recession and sharply higher unemployment This time fed chair Jerome Powell suggests the Central Bank won't have to go nearly as far We think we can avoid the kind of very high social costs that Paul Volcker and the fed had to bring into play The fed's expected to announce another big hike in two weeks speaking at the Cato institute Powell did not signal the next move but said the fed is determined to do what's needed to lower inflation Until the job is done At

'Supreme Disorder' Author Ilya Shapiro on His Georgetown Experience
"Guys about a very interesting story, it's with our next guest Ilya Shapiro. I'm an Ilya for quite a while. We spent some fun time together. So Elio is run out of Georgetown university. It's an extraordinary story and he's the author of a new book called supreme disorder. Exposes how politics has infiltrated the Supreme Court in the worst possible way with this right now to help us unpack that is Ilya Shapiro. Ilya, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. Good to be with you. I've also recently launched a new sub stack Shapiro's gavel. So in addition to the book, go check that out. Very good. So Ilya tell us what happened at Georgetown. It's a very interesting story. And I mean, you know I'm no fan of college, that's not a mystery to anybody, so it just basically confirms all of my criticisms, which I'm going to deliciously enjoy. Tell us what happened to you at Georgetown university. Sure. I've been at the Cato institute for nearly 15 years. The nation's preeminent libertarian think tank. And decided that maybe I should look for a new challenge, have a different kind of impact. Got a very interesting offer from Georgetown law school to become executive director of their center for the constitution as it turned out the rest of the law school is basically the center against the constitution. But what we can get to that, a few days before I was due to take that job in February, was when justice Breyer's retirement leaked. And I was doing media on that. Supreme Court politics is my area. And I was critical of President Biden's decision to limit his candidate search by race and gender, famously. He said he would pick a black woman. And I thought, you know, if I was a progressive Democrat president, I would pick judge Sri srinivasan, chief judge of the D.C. circuit, who's an Indian American, would be the first Indian or Asian American, has to be an immigrant as well. So lots of diversity points too. But not the right kind, it turns out. And so by operation of logic, we would, in my mind, end up with someone less qualified, a worse choice for a democratic president. And given Biden's criteria, I phrased that in Twitter's limitations as a lesser black woman. And really, it's those three words that got me in hot water. The manufactured outrage machine on social media and beyond calling for my head. I eventually

Why 'Supreme Disorder' Author Ilya Shapiro Resigned From Georgetown
"Guys, I'm really happy to welcome to the podcast Ilya Shapiro. He's senior fellow director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan institute, but previously he was the executive director and senior lecturer at Georgetown university, the center for the constitution. He's the author of supreme disorder and other works. I want to talk about his experience at Georgetown and related to some of the larger issues we're dealing with in academia. Ilya, welcome to the podcast, great to have you, it seems like you've gone through a kind of a traumatic experience that Georgetown. But I think you're not alone in facing this kind of an issue. So maybe I'll begin by just asking you to describe what happened at Georgetown. It all started, I believe, with a tweet. Yeah. Yeah, good to be with you, dinesh. I had been at the Cato institute for nearly 15 years doing constitutional law. And thought it might be a good time in my career to switch to try to have a different kind of impact, got a wonderful offer from Georgetown to head up the center with alongside professor Randy Barnett, a giant of constitutional law. A few days before I was due to assume my new duties, so this is at the end of January, when news of justice Breyer's retirement leaked, I was doing media that day, I was on the road. I was in Austin, Texas, and used what's not a best practice in doom scrolling my Twitter feed late at night in my hotel room, and was unhappy with President Biden's having declared that he would be limiting his candidate pool by race and sex. He said that he'd pick a black woman. And I said, well, look, and to my mind, if I were a democratic president, I would pick Sri srinavasan. He would be the first Indian American justice as well, very well reputed on the D.C. circuit. But of course, he's disqualified because it doesn't have the right intersectional characteristics. And that tweet set off a firestorm. I was even before joining Georgetown, I was suspended, and there was a four month long investigation into whether my commentary violated the university's harassment and anti discrimination policies. At the end of which they discovered, oh, one of their lawyers looked at the calendar and realized I had not been an employee when I tweeted. And so those policies didn't even apply

Georgetown Professor Resigns After Being Attacked for Free Speech
"So a professor a Shapiro. Let me begin with having people understand the context of your resignation, it began with your being attacked for a tweet you had sent out, and do you have the entire tweet in front of you or memorized? I do, I do. Here's what I here's what I wrote. Late at night, while doom scrolling, bad practice, don't do that in a hotel room if I've been at home rather than on a business trip, this wouldn't have happened. I'd be in bed with my wife, but this was the day that news of justice Breyer's retirement broke and I was doing media all day putting out statements and whatnot because I was at Cato almost 15 years and head of their con law shop. Commenting on the Supreme Court about it, which I've written a book, you can see it behind my head, supreme disorder, judicial nominations, and the politics of America's highest court coming out in paperback, July 5th, updated. For the last two years. And so I was getting more and more upset about President Biden's decision to limit his pool of potential candidates nominees for the Supreme Court by race and gender. So I tweeted objectively best pick for Biden is for navasana who is solid Prague and V smart. You have to shorten things on Twitter. There's a character limit which contributed to what I admitted was poor phrasing overall. So I said solid progressive very smart. Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian, Iran's Indian American. He's an Indian immigrant. As it happens, the chief judge of the D.C. circuit. But alas doesn't fit into the latest intersectionality hierarchy. So we'll get lesser black woman. And it's those three words that got me into trouble. They were maliciously misinterpreted as saying that suggesting that no black woman could ever be qualified for the Supreme Court or that all black women were lesser as humans, I guess, than all other people. And as I've written before, as I've explained, that's you have to be acting in extreme bad faith wanting to get me fired and otherwise, to interpret that in something other than the standard critique that 76% of Americans agree that Biden should have considered all possible candidates, not just restricting them by race and sex, but anyway, I tweeted that, I went to bed, January 26th, I woke up in a firestorm had erupted online very soon moving offline to Georgetown, those were a few days of hell.

Georgetown Lecturer Suspended After Tweets About Biden Court Nominee
"Now let's talk about professor Ilya Shapiro. Great Khan lost scholar Cato institute libertarian. He has an unfortunate tweet that very and artful very in alligator. He's not a racist, but it sounds like he's a racist. He's apologized, but George sounds suspended him. So why does Elia get suspended and Whoopi gets back with an apology? And by the way, alien apologized as well. Look, I mean, I think it's, it would be two different standards. I saw what he said and how he said it. Again, I don't think he should be fired or suspended. He apologized. I think that as a society over the past several years, we've become far too sensitive and unforgiving when people say things in public that are in artful or just wrong or stupid, especially if they immediately apologize. I think though this is a reminder of the danger in particular, a social media where you have 280 characters in a tweet, you can mess things up. I think some of the totality of someone's life and behavior is how these things should be judged. If it's an example of how you've been living your life and this just sheds a light on it, that's one thing. When it's the opposite, I think people should show more

We have some things to do, but the debate committee that the RNC had voted unanimously that we want to remove ourselves from the commission on presidential debate.

"That's clear. I think that's also the i love the fact that the sirens are in the background of your home in dallas headline brooklyn. The sirens are almost always coming through my neighborhood. Not my guests. That was those an incredibly aggressive one. Three trucks down there clearly clearly. I shouldn't be talking about this. The the feds are coming. So so i think i think the story that was written. Look i what i've said. This publicly like was remarkable. I couldn't find people to defend bob. And i think what he did on the espn. Pablo the espn podcast. With pablo was share his version of the event his perspective. And i would say that. There's maybe one or two factual and things in there that he disputes. But but i think if you really listen to the podcast in really read the piece that me and sam wrote and maybe throw on a couple of podcast appearances. I did immediately following that. I think that what bob says in that podcast in what we wrote and said following the story can absolutely match and they like that's his perspective and he saw things differently but he's not disputing facts that we reported throughout the story. He's disputing perspective that was shared from yes at that largely did come from another side because you know the story. The story had nothing to do with. You know it's amazing. People are like. Oh donnie nelson was the source or like. He's the guy who pushed for this to happen or the moment he learned he was fired. He just called us up. You know i mean this is a four-month thing that we spend a lot of time reporting in working on and so i would love to put more of ops perspective. I thought it was fascinating. I thought was really interesting to fully hear him his side in his perspective. And i think. I think the last thing i'll into it. Is that if you really listen to listen to that podcast. That he did and you read the piece. I think the main conclusion you come to on both of them. Is that all of these issues stem from our cuban the way he instituted bob's role and just more broadly about the way he was running that organization and i think that is a piece in thing that both me and bob fully agree on both of the pieces of media. We did fully agree with. And i think that's where a lot of the stuff has come from over over the over. The past decades of of the mavericks being under governorship or ownership of mark. Cuban so to me. That's the that's the main takeaway that that was the main takeaway when i published the story. Although i understand that you know the way it was headlined. The juicy details were about this shadow. Gm guy and know wasn't wasn't my freezing but the shadow gm guy in the crypto gambler. Whatever but to me that was always the take away the story even when it published and i think that bob's perspective on the events that happened only continue to kind of enhance and support that i agree..

"So i don't i. I don't know where that goes either. And you're right fascinating case study. Which will we'll have to leave for another day down the road real quick because this is now a puzzle that they have to solve and they have a new gm nico harrison. Who came from nike. Who never had basketball team have been an assistant jim or anything else. I'm always sceptical. Doesn't matter how much i like. Respect somebody in their other walk of life when you're hiring former agent when you're hiring a shoe company. Whatever it is like i think. That's incredibly risky. It's bold and cubans nothing of not bold but we have no idea at the moment. They hired nico harrison. Gm he might be an and there's a heavy responsibility coming with inheriting a team with look donncha on it and all the difficulties that we just laid out with regard the cabin and porzingas so real quick. Because i i don't want to keep you too much longer here with the game tonight. What do we do have any feel for what nico's philosophy is and how he might try to tackle this puzzle. I don't think we do yet. To be honest. I am working on something longer and larger about him in hope to try to answer some of these questions. I think that in terms of like you mentioned like you're skeptical. Even agent hires. And we've seen leon rose and we've seen rob pelinka agents at least directly interface with front offices. This is this is different than even that in all the cap stuff and likely the there's a whole other different skill set. That's different nike guy. Who's well network right but isn't a basketball guy or a guy or whatever right going yeah Yeah yeah yeah i. I think that's exactly spot on. I think that there are a lot of transfer transferable skills that nico used in Developed at nike that that will in canon should serve him. Well in this general managerial. But but i think it's also something that's going to take him like i still think he's absolutely and learning process and he's still kind of getting a feel of what this job actually is and i think that's something that will continue to time and you know it is good that they have a michael finley in the front office and it is good that it's good or bad. But but clearly mark cuban's has a as outsize influence as always had over over this franchise so purely or solely on nico harrison to come up with every idea or a lot of his. His role is is is is communication with cuban and in what he's thinking as well but i think i think it's a fascinating question. I don't think we know yet. You know like i think. I think your questions are good. I think there are things that we should be thinking about. And he's he's nicos giving a few interviews there in there and we've heard we've heard some ideas but in terms of like really tangible ideas about what he thinks about a team of what you know. What what he used this. This future is and just like we were talking about like what their options are going forwards. I think we're still a little bit in the dark. Which doesn't mean that. They're in the dark. They have very clear plans. He could be fully adjusted our ninety percent of the way there..

"And at that time. I think more like one and a half threes a game in dallas. He's averaged about two and a half threes a game. So this is a guy who's capable of averaging at his best two and a half blocks two and a half threes. that's there aren't many guys who've been built like that in the history of this game even though becoming more common now miles. Turner does a little of both in surgery. Baca in his prime was doing both those like that's a really great combination. Have in a big man strikes defense at one end the rim-protector at the other so that alone could make him very valuable for them. But this is obviously pick and roll league and you've got to be able to guard away from the basket then you've got to be able to move. And so yeah. I mean if he's moving better and when the back thing works out like you know maybe we'll see more of that that balanced version of porzingas the glass half full thing here. Statistically him and i noted this a couple of times last season he averaged twenty points. Eight point nine rebounds and one point three blocks the only other guys in the league average twenty eight and at least a block. Last season were joel embiid. Who was an mvp candidate. Youngest who has mvp candidate crowd anthony towns. Who's karl anthony. Towns and christian would if you add in the two three pointers per game that list drops down to just porzingas. Karl anthony towns. There is a unique profile here and it may not be good enough to be the second star on a championship team. I don't know the the raw numbers suggests that there's a really valuable quantity there in some sort of package. And then i feel like the defense is is the rest of it but but she's a max player. That's the problem is. He's amax player list. you listed. he like he can be a christian would type player but christian would isn't making max money like that's that's inherently. The issue is with the expectations. That come with the max contract and then just like the actual captured if you're allocating that percentage of your cap to a player like that. Even though he can be highly useful. Highly impactful on both ends. If this defensive stuff sticks around and holds That's the issue and he'll probably still be overpaid and look. That's common in this league. There's a lot of guys who are paid more than their actual value. If you run the numbers whatever But it's why. I asked earlier if he's not there. Second star than who is because he's making second star money and it's hard to fit another max deal on there. He's probably not all easy to trade at this stage. Making thirty one point six million this season thirty three point eight next season and then he has a thirty six million dollar option in two thousand twenty three twenty four. I've always said there's no question my mind like on on the on the basic fundamentals of the trade. The mavericks won the trade. They got not just the best player they got. Also tim hardaway junior. Whose core player for them so they got to really good players player. Yes exactly somebody with junior the best that argument. It's it's it's a fair argument. But they sent out. The jordan who barely played for the next did not play wes matthews. We've really played or did not play. Dennis smith junior washed out and two i which so far have proved to be..

"He's still averaging ninety nine this this might have been before the houston game but he was averaging like ninety eight touches third most in the league. You know so so the idea. That luke is going to have the ball. Less is is not actually what this is coming from. The ideas that he's he's more willing to give it up to teammates and if needed get back in just avoid avoid kind of reverting into the worst tendencies. James harden had in detail years with the rockets. Like i think that's what they're trying to avoid and they're trying to build an offense that he is able to. You know that is able to create some shot creation through system in movement and and In cutting in things like that. So i think offensively more or less. Yeah if you have any thoughts on adam. I'm happy to hear him or or questions or or if not i can jump to defense. I mean let's stay with offense for a minute. Because i thought you know this. Obviously the mavericks are one of the teams that had cleared the decks. Indy event that they might be able to chase jaanus and so it was going to be a cap room kind of offseason for them. And then of course you have reupped before the season takes everybody out of the mix but i thought the mavericks having set themselves up to be in free agency and i know there are some limitations there. I thought they'd be chasing the kyle lowry's and spencer dinwiddie and other point guard lonzo ball. Who knows we've we've heard the drug it's rumors and maybe that's gonna come back around depending on what happens in toronto in the next couple months dragic. Yeah the only the only rapper who didn't so so maybe they're already setting it up. I mean You mentioned shot creation and the this has seemed like the obvious thing since luke arrived was like this. This kid is amazing and he can do a ton of the ball in his hands. But as you said. And i've been a. I was a skeptic of the harden rockets philosophy..

"Cuts app or on supercups dot com so we are recording if you hours before their fourth game so we microscopically small sample size to analyze the moment which is a dangerous and stupid. But i've i've never been accused of being smart about my mba alicea so I i don't wanna draw too much out of it. But i mean you've got you've got a few games of preseason a few games now of regular season for what it's worth their right now. Raking twelve defensive efficiency twenty-fifth and offensive efficiency. That's kind of an inverse of where they were under under carlisle last year. Do you see anything in the in the profile of the way. They're playing offensively defensively. That is that is giving any indication of what the jason kidd will way will be. That's different than the carlyle where we tend to to reduce these teams to just well if you got. Luca doesn't matter who's coaching him. You're going play way. Because that's how that's that's how the best maximize luca as you noted the roster really hasn't changed much with which i think is kind of an indictment of the franchise over the last few years. Frankly maybe a good reason to all the front australia strong agree here so good reason to to change the front office. I think i think things have gotten stale there we can. We can talk about that too. But what is jason kidd. Mavericks team looked like so far. That's different than a rick carlisle mavericks. Let's let's tackle the both starting offense. I think that it's it's clear that in the preseason. There's a lot of comments about luke addressing his teammates more about more movement about things. Like that i think we saw in atlanta season-opener. They lost fairly handily. That it you know. Some of these ideas of movement really brought around terrible spacing. We saw a lot of examples of that floating around twitter and then even a constraint other second game which they did win there was there was more examples that but we also saw in the second half that reverted more to carlisle style. A better spacing more single big lineups and five out lineups. And you know if you're going to have a rolling on the floor. Like dwight powell. He's going to be the only guy on there in in really an emphasis on that. I think broadly what the teams trying to do with the logic behind the changes has been has been that. If if you're not going to have the creation that this team really needs We'll probably continue to be an issue if they head into the postseason once again with only luca in jalen brunson as their primary craters. One of the ways you can at least try to mitigate that a little bit is to build in more motion more movement more cutting you know. I do think that they've talked a lot about kris stops and that he's going to get more post ups and things like that. I still think that's important to a degree..

That showed that my anybody's level With comparable to somebody who had been fully vaccinated And And there's more there's more than you needed that but this is sort of a slam dunk case is this is how you measure of somebody's immune protection listens how they measure whether somebody needs a booster shot for any for any disease whether it's measles or covert or anything else And so.

The Problem With Biden's Vaccine Mandate
"I'm very confident this is going to be there's going to be some injunction against his facts mandate. I have a couple of reasons to believe that you know, it's my job here to come on the show and hopefully leave you a little bit better informed. I don't want to ever waste your time. There were a number of problems with this national vaccine mandate Number one. Biden does not have the power to do this. He just doesn't have the power folks. There's nowhere in the Constitution. Does it say this now what the left this will do is they'll extracted like they found the so called right to abortion in the Constitution that doesn't exist either they'll extracted. I'm not interested in the leftist subjective opinion of what the Constitution says. I'm interested in what the Constitution actually says, and there is a serious separation of powers issue here. Cato Institute pointed this out today. Folks. Congress has never passed any law mandating this vaccine. Okay, There's no law mandating a vaccine. There is no laws. Everybody get that there are folks I'm sorry for the conservatives. You get. There are liberals. Listen, You're not that bright. There is no law. So what are they basing this on? Well. Because of you know, Chevron deference and all these delegation doctrines that we now you know, we we that have been invented out of thin air. Congress can delegate certain powers to the executive branch, OSHA falls under the executive branch. The occupational, safe and healthy agency there. They work for Biden. So the big question here is if Congress hasn't passed a law granting it sweeping powers to mandate everybody get a vaccine. Well, then how the hell can ocean force that they fall under the executive

"The athletic. If you don't have one and check this out so tim this made this made waves yesterday. And i just wanna know first off like when and how did this story start coming together like. When did the reporting start on this for you yeah. It's something i've been hearing about for for months now to be honest. It's definitely something that i knew. It felt like the summer was to reach a an inflection point. In kind of a you know that this stuff was going to all the dynamics and the through lines of the front office. We're gonna come to a head and you no matter no matter what i wrote a or otherwise. Someone asks me thought really into question yesterday and it's like what do we still be talking about this. If the mavericks who had that lead in game three or close to pushing off the clippers things are just slightly different than the game. Would we still be talking about the story. They had gone in advanced to the second round. Yeah i think we would. I'm almost certain we would. You know it's all stuff that i had heard in been working on in hearing before that. So that's kind of the process and all apologized for my like tattooing looking space station video. I'm on a backup. Laptop lop malfunction. last week. that was a poorly timed. Ooh i thought you were gonna say your laptop exploded after your twitter mentions caught on fire yesterday. What's the fallout. After the article came out. Yeah people are gonna say what the what they say. The sourcing of the story is is there and and people should go read it. The one thing that i've kind of gone back to is that you can look at what happened in game. Seven against the clippers when luka doncic and you know he had what forty six points and fourteen assists and you don't need reporting to look at this look at the game not being competitive in the in the final minute and say. That's an indictment on the front office. You know you don't need reporting to look back over the last ten decades the mavericks and say that's also an indictment on the front office and there's clearly you know something going on there. The team isn't functioning. Well enough in the us. I don't think need reporting to look at luca and to think that he is a superstar in the nba and the nba superstars to win. And that's kind of what the reporting says. The story is that his long-term desire is current desires to to remain in dallas long-term. But that could change if the team doesn't start winning. And we know how much. Luca's one threat is career. He's happy right now. He's going to sign the supermax suspension. That's what leaks sources. You have told me. And i write in the article. That said the clock is ticking. And something that you you have to pay attention to and the time to figure out whatever is wrong or or not. Working in the front office is now. Tim you got a lot of engagement on a fair enough to it was a great article But the biggest re tweet was from the biggest.

"This game was brutal. Kinda push this one here. Skeets remember that the first half plays drew. It's not just the first step. You gotta play the second half here. But yeah i thought the embiid stuff Was very weird over. Twelve in the second half and like you're saying task. It just felt like he was trying to go to the free. Throw line the whole time. I even think that last miss the lane is basically there for embiid right. He should dunked it should have been a dunk about probably as a dunkin april or whenever joel embiid is feeling has healthiest. Patrick ewing missing in game. Seven nineteen ninety-five had a wide open finger all he bricked it off and obviously the next didn't win that series. Same thing with embiid like that should have been a bucket. He was opening like. And that's a bucket for most of the season for embiid but he just didn't have the legs he didn't have the explosion. He said he didn't have it going. He knew and the first half the stuff with elton brand was pretty weird. Caused like you're saying and bead went back to the locker room in the second quarter stephanie. Ready seemed to be worried but she tracked down. Brandon saw him smiling behind his mask and apparently everything was all good except that we saw in the second half not everything was all over twelve. So why didn't tobias harris shoot the ball and all of quarter two attempts. I would like to see him. Try and get something going since we knew embiid was just out there trying to go to the line. I was very puzzling to see. Who's getting the shots in the fourth quarter. And yeah simmons and shoot the last few minutes. The shots went to south korean gang. Korkmaz around joel embiid. Who was looking to get to the line. I guess to arrest because he knew his legs weren't there was just trying to get superstar. Mvp runner up type calls. You know like i. I think that's what it was. His legs aren't right. It's just strange to go from a decent first half and then the legs just went. Something just went. You know four of eight in the first half to in the second half. But that's that is similar to what we have seen in the past and yet tobias just needed to step up and then the joel embiid story isn't as much of a story in this one at all him and simmons just kind of disappeared in that quarter. Offense was. What do you think of a simmons not even being on the floor at the end early when they they're down three you gotta push it. That is the fastest guy. You've got on your team. Obviously the most athletic. I guess the concern is well nate. Mcmillan say might just say wrap them up and they need a three. I mean that's already a strategy. And especially maybe more so with simmons. But what did you think of that. That's i get it. I get it if you're thinking mcmillan's going to wrap him up and follow him and then you have no chance probably but oh man you would have liked him pushing it instead of you. That for sure and simmons for the free throw line. that's obviously where he struggled. He went one for five again. They last night and the look on his face was kind of like man. This is this is. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be pulled off the court. Because i can't make my free throws so that doc rivers. I think it was like we can't afford to have get fair either because he's just not being able to knock down free throws and he needs to improve in that area so it's a huge call for the coach. Say to your best or second best player. You can't be on the court on offense. Sometimes you see sometimes guys who were not great defensively. Get a get subbed out. But for god's not be on their offensively as bad because you think simmons is like well if i get the ball. I'm going to and try to get to the line but the of like if you come in you're getting fed you'll go to the free throw line and docker has just didn't want to really basically see he's play go to the free throw on at least one of those free throws because that's what doc rivers was thinking and i think look i think the six is probably got a little complacent in this game to when they built that first half was huge and it was like the series is basically it felt like it was a a series ending game last not even that would have been three one and they came out in that second half and i were flat and their energy was off. Of course it started with big but is that. That's not a good look for. Ben simmons that he can't be on the court in that crucial moment in a potential Series swinging game like that. He's on the bench because he can't hit his free throws he was so good in game three and so aggressive in game three that it really stands out when he's not a huge reason that trae young had eighteen assess last night to like. He wasn't feeling the defense as much as he had in games. Two and three. Which was the huge change for the sixers. And ben simmons on and then the size was bothering trae young but he was just masterful last night operating and finding all of the open the open shooters and the open players for dunks. He had some great alley. Oops it was just great stuff from trae young but benson's honestly made it easy on him by not playing as hard as he can not playing as well as he did in games. Two and three young was amazing. Down the stretch yeah. They're scored or assisted on the hawks. Final fifteen points in an instrumental and that several run there in the final couple of minutes past a collins where he went in drew all the defenders and then just whip that wrap around Dime to the corner was. Oh my god chefs kislyak. Very solid plays that too sexy both but he he was awesome. Yeah back to back to the sixers over a second though. Simmons and harris definitely let down and be last night like he's been a monster of the entire series out..

"The Cato's in Chad show. It's a week long syriza, Arizona's rising real estate and we're trying to figure out why the housing market is so crazy right here in the valley and someone to kind of help us out with this. Natalie Maloney is the owner of Grandview Appraisal Group. Not only how are you today? I'm doing Well, Thank you. And thanks for having me on the show. All right, Natalie. I think we need to get this out of the way. Uh, what's an appraiser? Do besides kill dreams of these days? What we tell you, so I mean, what we do is we go out on we look at the property. We will leave first. If it's a sale. If it's a wonder on property that we're going out to do the appraisal on were there to protect the lender. We're there to make sure that what we are opinion of the value is is what the lender is willing to loan on that property as well. So you know, we're right now We see the market going so crazy. We see people paying way over asking price as an appraiser. Our job is not to go out and Match that price. Our job is to analyze the market. Analyzed the property. Look at the company area, put a report together and then give the lender our opinion of fair market value. Just between us opinion. How overvalued Right now is the average house here in the Valley. Hard to say, percentage wise, but I am seeing on an average people are paying between 10 to Over $50,000 over list price very over paying for properties Right now. Their appraisals are not coming into value in most cases because they are paying so much more. But then what there were right now they're waving the appraisal Contingency because buyers want the house and sellers will not accept their offer without waving it because they know it's not going to look great. Not only Maloney's joining US owner of Grandview Appraisal Group, She's an appraiser. So why is the housing market doing what it's doing right now? Why is it so hot? Why is it so overpriced? What's your opinion? Well, there's no inventory is the biggest issue right now, and you've got a lot of people moving here. We have a lot of millennials and markets that want to buy and there just is no inventory. There's not a lot of construction that's able to keep up with the supply your demand. I should say it's a battle for these fires to get home right now. You know, you talk about waving it. So do you If somebody's coming in with a cash offer, Can they just say I don't need an appraisal? So you don't need an appraisal for a cash offer? On the only time you didn't appraisal if there's a lender involved, So what advice would you give somebody who wants to buy a home right now? Wait. You could say you could say it. Wait, is that it? I personally would love to buy a house right now. And I'm not doing it. I'm not enter this kind of the market. If you're going to enter this market, you have to have cast you have to know you're paying over and you have to be okay with it now secure forever home, and we do know that the market appears That is going to continue this way. So it's not like we're gonna say, Oh, my gosh ones You gotta crash because that's probably not in the near future, but you want to make a smart investment. All right.

"My house this morning earlier. Um So, Dan, I met you when I interviewed you about brain development, Childhood adolescent brain development, right? It was more focused on that. It was focused on that in a school. We were in like a school hallway. Yes, Yes, I remember that somewhere. Yes. Um and you were talking to you about the brain. And as I talk about in my book, you talked about the brain in a very kind of literal sense in a kind of scientific way. That was very Um, easy for me to wrap my head around. I was interested in that and then I think when we met, I did ask you a couple questions about drinking and about drug use. And you kind of said to me do you want I think you said, Would you like to talk about your drinking? That's right. Well, yeah. I mean, there are questions that were coming up that were clearly you wanted to know. More than just the show was addressing so I actually, um Was just asking if you wanted to talk more about that. You know the impact of drugs on the brain? Yeah. Yeah. You seemed interested? Yes. I'm always interested in the subject of drugs. And then yes, I mean, obviously, I was asking for a friend. So, ah, friends with this very close to your body. Yes, that one s so then we went round and you didn't find it because I didn't go to therapy right after the election. I interviewed down for my show. And then months later, I believe a couple of months later, I asked you to reach out to him. And set an appointment. So that was sometime in 2017. Ok, OK, So, um Let's talk about our therapy. Okay? I know you don't feel comfortable talking about this, So I have to constantly give you permission to talk about my therapy because it's out. The secret is out. So that's a great place to start because You know, usually or I would say always as a therapist. You know, I don't speak about the therapy with anyone but the therapist in the setting of therapy and so You know, as a professional, um, a psychiatrist. It's get to now extremely unusual, too. Be in this situation where you know, number one. You wrote a book about our our relationship in the therapeutic experience, and it's been incredibly inspiring for people. So that was an incredible gift. And then there have been now moments where, Because it's public. People will ask you about it, and we spoke one conference together where, you know, uh You brought up that I was the your therapist, and I had just given the Cato presentation right before years and then we're on the stage together for a human A and people seem to really respond to that. So You know, from the professional point of view. This is extremely unusual, but because it's your idea that you came up with it, and I actually think it could do good in the world. Then I'm open to really thinking deeply about doing this, even though it's not the usual thing that has done of a therapist. And a client, a patient in the person working with them. Has this been a pain in the ass for you at all Me writing a book about us? Not even one moment. Well, that's great news because the response I got from the book was. The response is I get on my on social media and all the mess direct messages from all these strangers. About all their experiences of death and loss, and grief has been so moving and it was so unexpected. I mean, maybe wasn't unexpected, but I didn't really I thought I was telling my own story, and I didn't realize I was telling a lot of people stories. Right? I think that's you know, And I've said this to you because I think Your work is really incredible gift. Here we go. I'm sorry If you could hold on to these compliments. I really think it's an incredible gift. First of all that you're willing to be so open. About what I think is a very courageous journey that you've been on in therapy and from you know what people are giving you feedback about, it's inspiring them. We saw it at the conference wisdom 2.0. People would get to the microphone and say You're inspiring me to look deeply into myself and find the parts of myself that have been blocked. And I want to get help, you know, and in therapy, and so when you conduce that to actually take people have been, you know, not moving forward and feeling like, I don't know what I'm doing my life. Because your book is so clear and it's funny, and it's really articulate. And in so many ways brilliance, you know you're able to really show people. You know, this isn't magic. This is something you could do if you've had a loss or trauma that you can actually seek. Professional support. Do the reflective work in therapy. See the benefits, for example of meditation and you know, as you say in the book, turn your head around. And so that's an incredible gift. And so to me, it's all positive. The biggest gift I think is learning how to sit still with my feelings. And in a moment when I want to be reactive about breathing, like Brandon has seen me, you know, freak out a lot over really stupid things like you know, with because I'm always rushing around and like dropping things and I freak out and you know, and then I'd like, lose my temper and I'm just mad at myself because of my like helpless little girl feeling. So now when things like that happen the way I move through the world and like through my house is just slow. Like I just take my time and like, think about what I'm doing. Even if it's my new sha and mundane all of the mundane Nissen life, I pay much more attention to so that I'm not, um Rushing and blasting through it the part that I didn't write in the book, which is, which is the part that's been happening since I finished. The book is the by meditation really like I've learned how to meditate. I mean, I'm sure I'm not there yet. But I'm getting close to like, really clicking in with that because you forced me to do it for three months. Yes, I forced you. You did, And I said, I didn't want to do it for three months because that sounded like a pregnancy. And then he reminded me that pregnancies are longer than three months. And then I did it for three months, and now it's been like six or eight months, and I started a Christmas last year. So where's Brandon? We whip up that calculation. Six months were about six. Okay, Thanks. Um So I now I do it every day. And if I don't do it, I feel off like I texted bread and yesterday saying remind me to meditate because I got up and had to rush off to something. So, um, it's definitely helpful. I know that I have a long way to go, though. Um, but what I didn't get to address in the book, which was all about our therapy. And you pointing to me where my kind of trapped pain Woz and my gun Earth, You know, trauma, so to speak, and all the stuff that I was not being honest with myself about or not tending to myself about and my brother dying. My mother dying. My father kind of dying after my brother died all of those things. So that was our like journey I have to say, because that's the only word applicable to this. Which is such an annoying word to me. Whenever I would use it. You get really a journey. It just sounds so corny. Like you could take it back, though. It's a lot of people use it. Well, I'm gonna take I took back the orange so I might take back Johnny too, okay? But I don't know how they're okay. And let me think about taking that back. What I haven't really addressed it will because it didn't happen until after the book was the real kind of Presence of mind and consciousness that we we talked about a lot during therapy but didn't click for me until I started meditating. And until I started paying attention to all the little things on then I started to go. Okay. This is what's like being mindful is and consciousness and paying attention..
Discussions in Spinal Cord Injury Science - ANPT
Interview with Kristin Musselman about Reactive Balance
"Welcome to discuss. Discussions and spinal cord injury sci where we bring you interviews with researchers and clinical leaders in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. I'm rachel tappin. today. I'll be speaking with dr kristen muscleman who is last author on a recent paper in the journal spinal cord along with co co-authors. Catherine chan jaywalking less journal. Unger angela you and k musani the papers titled reactive stepping after a forward fall in people living with incomplete spinal cord injury or disease. Dr muscleman is a physical therapist and scientists with the neural engineering and therapeutics team at the cato institute which is the research arm of the toronto rehabilitation institute. She's assistant professor in the department of physical therapy and rehabilitation sciences institute at university of toronto. She's active in the canadian physiotherapy association and now of course and the american physical therapy association with this very podcast. And she's academic lead of the walking measures group and the canadian community of practice for the practice spinal cord institute so welcome. Kristen muscleman. thanks rachel so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be here. I'm so happy to have you so. Let's start by talking about balance after spinal cord injury and i wanna talk about reactive balance in particular where the person needs to recover from a loss of balance. Can you just describe for us in general. What do we know. Or i guess. More specifically what did we know prior to this to this study in this area. Sure well react to balance. It's a key part of our posture control system. And as you kind of mentioned it really is our last line of defense against a fall so to try to recover balance that's been lost and so refers to our ability to reduce control of The movement of our center of mass where or to pull our center of mass back within our basis support and we we can do this through movement at the ankles hips. You know which we've Often called the ankle hit strategies or you can do it by taking Rapid reactive steps to try to increase our base of support. And it's this Rapid reactor stepping that. We've focused on in our research and you know surprisingly we actually don't know that much about reactive balance control after spinal cord injury We do know that. In other neurological populations like individuals living with the effects of stroke. The inability to take a reactive step is associated with the occurrence of falls And as many of those listening are aware people cred injury. Do you have a lot of falls as well. So a recent meta analysis found that seventy eight percent of the ambulance chasers with spinal cord. Injury will fall each year so it's definitely reasonable to expect that reactive balance control is impaired after injury but specifically what aspects are impaired wasn't known for example are there deficits related to the timing of the movements and muscle activation or insider their spatial deficits. So you know for example. Maybe they can't take a big enough react to step to appropriately reposition their center of mass. So those are some of the questions that we had. I'm going into doing this research. Great boy and i can certainly point to as a clinician. You're supporting things that i felt like. I knew already as i would experience that in the clinic of people having lots of difficulty with reactive balance after spinal cord injury and looking to the research literature and really having a hard time understanding how to proceed so for reinforcing or validating. The experience that i've had at least you study your your group did the study. And so what did you do. And what were the results. Yes what we wanted to do was to characterize reactive stepping in and people who are living with incomplete spinal cord injury so as a first step We compared their to stepping ability to out of age and sex matched individuals who have a spinal cord injury and what we decided to do in this for study is focus on two aspects of reactor stepping so i is is a behavioral response which just simply looks at. How are the participants recovering their balance after appreciation. So can they take a single step like most people who haven't neurological damage do or do they need to take several steps to reposition that center of mass in their basis support or are they unable to recover their balanced. So that's the behavioral piece that we looked at And then the second piece we looked at were these temporal parameters of reactive stepping so this includes things like the onset of muscle activity and legs And also the reaction time so you know. How quickly can they respond for that. We look at the length of time. Between the onset of the nation and then the actual movement That's elicited so in this case you know lifting off the switch a reactive step but what we needed to figure out how to look at this behavior in a standardized way and so we use a lot based assessment That's called the released test And this has been used with the stroke population it's also been used previously in older adults And basically what it does it simulates a forward fall of course in a safe way so if you just try to picture yourself standing and you're in a safety harness that's gonna prevent us from from hitting the ground if you were to lose your balance That saves you harnesses around your trunk. And then what we do. Is we attach a horizontal cable to the back of the safety harness right around the level of your lower back and then not cable which is about a meter long. It's attached to the wall behind you and you get asked to lean forward from your ankles as best as you can until about. Ten percent of your body weight is supported by that cable.

Trump Administration Adds Tariffs To Some Merchandise Out Of France
"If you're looking to buy a new handbag some cognac or a lipstick you could be looking at higher prices. That's because the trump administration is putting new tariffs on goods from europe. Npr's scott horsely explains. Why judy taylor runs. An upscale boutique in new york city called madison avenue tour. Among the items she sells are luxury handbags from paris which can retail for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. We specialize in her mess. We have a robust online website and by appointment only showroom business online has been good. Taylor says even during the pandemic. if you can't travel and you want to do something for the holidays the chances are you're gonna buy something luxurious but the cost of importing. French handbags is about to go up as of today. The trump administration is imposing a twenty five percent tariff on more than a billion dollars worth of french imports including lipstick. Fancy soap and handbags. That's a challenge for taylor who was already facing higher prices for bags. As a result of factory shutdowns last spring little happen is basically the same thing that happened with everything passed onto the consumer. The administration says his living. These tariffs in retaliation for france's new tax on digital services which critics say unfairly targets. Us tech giants like google and facebook match years has an industry. Trade group called the computer and communications industry association when our trading partners are mating their new taxes after us companies it's clear their targeting american business for discriminatory treatment and it's necessary to take a stand and the new tax on handbags not the outgoing president's only parting tariff shot next week the administration courts new import taxes on cognac and certain wines from france and germany christine cacho of the distilled spirits council knows other european winds were already hit with import taxes as part of a long running battle over government. Subsidies for revel jet makers boeing and airbus. It's very unfortunate that our industry continues to be a victim in these trade disputes. That have nothing to do with our industry but that kind of collateral damage is not unusual in a trade war. Scotland succumb of libertarian. Cato institute notes that european tariffs took game at bourbon in an effort to get the attention of kentucky. Senator mitch mcconnell. The idea is to cause some pain to export orders. That are politically connected. American whiskey exports to europe have plunged by forty one percent since those tariffs were imposed. The kasha says the pain is not limited to mcconnell's home you know. American whiskey is actually exported from us distillers located in thirty nine states. So it's not just the kentucky or tennessee issue it really is united states. Shoe get got a couple of weeks. The new biden administration will take charge of us trade policy while the president-elect has promised a more conciliatory approach lindsey. Graham is not holding his breath that tens of billions of dollars in trump tariffs will suddenly be unwound given kind of current populist moment in the united states. It's going to be difficult for the biden administration to eliminate all up at madison avenue. Couture judy taylor is still hoping the incoming administration does lift the tax on french handbags. Otherwise she says people seeking a luxury gift may turned swiss watches instead scott horsely. Npr news washington.

WSJ Tech News Briefing
India blocks TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps citing national security concerns
"India is banning dozens of Chinese APPS, including Tiktok some say it's retaliation. The move comes after twenty. Indian soldiers died in a clash with Chinese soldiers at a contentious border in the Himalayan mountains, but a senior Indian official told The Wall Street Journal that the APPS may have been used to harm the country's Defence Sector Wall Street Journal reporter Sean Lee has more. It's a huge deal. Because India is a very large market for tech companies in general and also specifically for Chinese tech companies for many of them, for example by Dan's, which is the owner of the very popular short video APP. Talk India is the biggest market for talk after. A lot of Chinese. Tech companies have found a lot of success in India. A lot of them invest in Indian startups, and they've accelerated that in the last few years, speaking of national security concerns and China the National Security Council and a number of other us. Agencies are lobbying European allies to oppose new tech, a Chinese company that makes security screening equipment a reporter Cato. KIEF has more the first. First concern is on national security grounds, because obviously this type of equipment can have access to a lot of both personal and business data, and so the US is concerned that with Chinese state-backed entity potentially having access to all that data that they could feed that back to the Chinese government, and that could create a national security concern, and the second issue is more on a commercial basis new tech. Tech has been winning tons of contracts because their prices are super low. The US says that's because they're heavy subsidies from the Chinese government, and along the way there, then driving a bunch of US competitors to the brink, because they're unable to to compete on price, you know it's a commercial concern that really you know new tackle be the only company left providing this equipment
All Things Considered
Tech's free speech debate is about Zuckerberg vs. Dorsey
"Many Americans are facing different realities disparities in covert nineteen deaths for one and right now they're expressing outrage over different things for some stay at home orders have moved them to protest for others it's police violence against unarmed citizens it can feel as though we're living in two different countries so we're talking about that today and one of the places where you can feel America's divide is social media we're divisions are also stoked by trolls and disinformation social media companies try to monitor that to varying degrees and with varying success but even that is divisive as we've seen this week when president trump expressed fury after some of his tweets were flagged by Twitter for potentially misleading information about mail in balloting then yesterday the company flag one of his tweets about the Minneapolis protest for quote unquote glorifying violence president trump signed an executive order aiming to weaken legal protections tech companies have had for years it's unclear whether he has the authority to do that but given all the events of recent days we want to talk more about this so we've called three prominent figures in this debate Karen Swisher is the co founder of Rico that's a site focused on tech news and New York times contributing writer has been pushing Twitter in particular to take far more aggressive steps in policing false information Swisher welcome back thanks for joining us once again thanks so much financial or is the executive director of aspen digital that's a non partisan organization that researches issues related to tech and digital media and she has a long resume in both digital and traditional media including as a president and CEO of NPR so we very much welcome back to you via thanks Michelle glad to be here Matthew Feeney is the director of the project on emerging technologies at the Cato Institute that's a libertarian research and advocacy group here in Washington DC Matthew Feeney welcome to you thank you for joining us as well no thanks for having me the cast which I'm going to start with you because on Wednesday you wrote an op ed in The New York Times this is after Twitter label to the president's tweets regarding mail in ballots as potentially misleading and they added some contextual information and you called this move a baby step why well it's the first thing they can do I mean a lot of they could have banned them they could have taken down the tweet they could have a lot of things but this is the first time Twitter is ever done any kind of I don't want to use the word punishment this is the wrong thing they've ever taken any action against president trump when he violates their rules which he does all the time you know we could spend a whole program talking about this will tell us more broadly what's your point of view about this well I think they are like publishers and so they have some responsibility instead they allow all district to wash over their platforms and in fact get taken advantage of by malevolent forces and so I think they should do more monitoring of it to fit first of all I love them just to get rid of some of the stuff that's obviously used for propaganda but they just let anybody do anything and what it does is create this sort of giant mass of humanity which nobody knows what is true or not and then other players take advantage of it Alex Jones was the most famous obviously he got tossed off all the platforms so you usually what I want to say you are here and your own capacity as a media executive as a person with a deep background in addition to working at NPR as a president CEO you also work for Twitter but I'm going to ask you on your own hook to tell us what you think about this week's news look I think Twitter has been slow on this I think they should have taken action some time ago that said these are really tricky decisions Twitter now that they've taken an action with the president it's going to be really difficult for them to keep up you know there are five hundred million tweets roughly that are sent every day and there are already calls across the board of what about this tweet what about that tweet and it's going to be very very tricky for them I'm glad they took the move but now the camel's nose in the tent Mr anywhere your thoughts I think this puts on not just with about other social media comes into a tough spot here which is that they are trying to figure out how to moderate this kind of content while remaining in the eyes of the uses the gentleman and it's not a surprise to me at all that in the wake of a good decision to fact check that they have been allegations of inconsistency but anyone looking for inconsistency and this debate is is short to find its there are hundreds of hours of footage uploaded to YouTube every minute there are hundreds of millions of tweets posted every day Hey the system won't be perfect and in fact the way that these phones tree contents depends not oftentimes on the Afrin content itself but what's being said about this and and that is something I wish more people understood in the debate which is a really really hard decisions and unfortunately causing a lot of people on the political rights in the United States of feeling bad somehow agencies would be better at this than private companies and while I think will will never be completely happy with how these private firms navigate these difficult content moderation decisions I would much prefer a private family of public failure in this film while some are because I think of the history of government regulation of speech reveals lessons namely that we should be wary office the fact is that social media is much more than Silicon Valley and their alternatives out there of course the the interesting thing about all of this is that in this debate many people on the Merican conservative space seem to forget that competition is is valuable there all of the social media networks out there well Mister you raised the issue that is it's you know we raising it kind of as a back drop here but it is actually a very big part of this whole discussion which is that there is this argument on the right which is certainly embraced by president trump that these companies social media companies are silencing conservative voices but Democrats and progressives have their own criticisms which is that these platforms have no standards and allow people to be libeled and slandered and somebody's very painful and in some cases dangerous ways I mean the data on the fact that women how women in particular women of color treated on these platforms and targeted particularly public figures who are women there's a great deal of data about the fact that and how they are targeted so she took care of so so the question then becomes you know how to do these things get address of care you want to jump in please do yeah I think let's be clear these are private companies they're not public squares and that's the one thing that seems to happen with the writer like my free speech rights be able to specifically you can't these are private companies owned by billionaires they can set whatever standards they want number one number two there's no evidence that there's any bias in anyway but there is evidence of his abuse of people of people getting abused by by the way on all sides and that's really the problem here is the ability to allow toxicity in lies to continue and that's something a private company should be dealing with but not legislated by the government there is there are certain things you can do and liabilities and things like that that media companies have had dealt with for for a very long time and so there's all kinds of solutions that are possible but I think the really problematic thing is considering these places to be the public square did you can do anything on me what do you think should happen here well I completely agree that there is no place for government regulation here that is a path to a very dangerous place but social media companies must take responsibility I applaud Twitter for actually making an effort here even though I think the path they're choosing is very difficult I was very disappointed in mark Zuckerberg's statements on fox news of all places saying that they don't want to be quote unquote the arbiters of truth they already are algorithms serve certain truths even if they're not human intervention involved they are going to have to I think eventually take some action the oversight board is a step but it's it's not enough we are in a moment now where these divisions have come to the fore we know for a fact that sometimes these mechanisms are used to kind of organize protest organized too really it globally certainly it is the case that they've been used both by people who are trying to find ways to resist government oppression but they've also been used by governments to advance oppressive mechanisms right so do they have a role here to play right now that you think would be constructive and I guess I'll start with you Kerr Swisher yeah absolutely they've been doing a very good job on cove in nineteen information they've been stamping out all kinds of bad health information except for president trump's they took down a bowl scenario they took down Maduro they took down a lot of stuff there and a lot of other stuff so during cove and it shows all of them Facebook Twitter all of them can do it and they can do it well and there was no controversy about that so they're totally capable but they're also capable of creating commonality look at all of the really wonderful stuff from Sarah Cooper to comics to people making jokes that can be used for commonality in a really positive way it's just they're designed towards in rage meant and that's the engagement is designed towards arrangement and that's
Between The Lines
Is Sweden right in its handling of COVID-19?
"When most of Europe went into strict lockdown in much Sweden but the trend social distancing was recommended and large gatherings were banned but restaurants workplaces and junior schools and boarders. I stayed open in pursuit of what some people call herd immunity strategy. So how's it going? And what listens are there for Australia? Will Swedish Intellectual Johan? Norberg is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and he's author of progress ten reasons to look forward to the future Johan welcome back to between the lines. Thank you great to be back now this week. The Australian Treasury Josh Freudenberg was asked if we would follow the Swedish example as we into the next stage of the vars response and he ruled it out and he said quote. Sweden has forty percent of Australia's population but Sydney tons the death right. The numbers speak for themselves. That's Josh Freudenberg. Our Prime Minister Scott Morrison waiting. He called Sweden's approach a death sentence. Johan what do you think well? I have to admit that compared to Australia. Sweden does not look like a success but in fact nothing looks like a success. Compared to Australia right now except for possibly New Zealand is in the same vicinity but every European country has suffered much much worse whether they've had entered lockdowns or more of a Swedish line and I think that's partly because we got the transmission Into our population at earlier in a more massive stage. It's more difficult to when we have all these land borders next to countries with millions and millions of people and of infected so. I don't think the comparison with Australia is. Is that relevant apart? From the fact that you also have to deal with it longtime when you get out of the lockdowns and when you begin to approach more of an open world again with will global travel then at least the World Health Organization says that Sweden might be a model to look to in any case and and and despite everything so far Sweden has been an outlier when it comes to policy but not when it comes to the outcomes sweetness somewhere in the middle when it comes to European states. Okay no matter how you add the numbers up. Sweden has more deaths than your Nordic neighbours. What do you expect to see in those countries as as Tonga's on that's true so far it looks worse in Sweden? But why is that well? The assumption from Swedish L. Authorities. Is that our neighbors. They have merely postponed cases and deaths. They have not avoided them. They went into lockdown. Which means that in the short run. It looks good but once they get out of it and they're starting to get out of it now. The the lockdowns on the shutdowns. They're bound to see a second wave of infections and deaths the thing to ask when you look at the Swedish model is at. Did we avoid to overwhelm our healthcare system Did those who suffer and died from covy. Nineteen would they have died in any case if they got this disease six months later or twelve months later? So did we avoid that kind of healthcare breakdown and it seems like we did that all the time. The intensive care units have had an excess capacities. Weeden by around twenty percent. So far so it seems like They they would have died from the disease whenever we got the disease into our population. And what I expect from our neighbors. Unfortunately that without a vaccine and that might be a year away and could take much longer. They won't be able to avoid it in the long run and they will suffer those consequences once they get out of lockdown.

Make Australia Gay Again
"Okay. Jeremy. So you found these stamps. They're clearly very gay What what's the deal like? Where do they come from? I've never heard of this Gay Kingdom what is it where is it and how can I move there? Are you messing with this? Jeremy is even a real thing. It's actually real and I've been working all day and night to find out more. I've called experts from the United Nations. The Council on Foreign Relations. I've made burner phones. My apartment's walls are covered and post it. Notes detailing epic story behind this kingdom yarn. Did you connect them John? It's GonNa ask the same thing. Yes it's required and after lots of law sleep. I think I finally have some answers. Hermit sexual people have honestly endeavoured everywhere to merge ourselves in the social life of surrounding communities and to be treated equally. This is an excerpt from the declaration of Independence of the gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the coral sea islands. A nation created for life liberty the pursuit of happiness. And all things gay well technically. It's a micro nation. So we'll micro nation is a place that declares that they are a nation but aren't recognized by other countries So it's basically someone walks out into their front yard and they're like my front yard is a nation In their mind they are their own country but they don't really have any recognition or any kind of Legitimacy in terms of the global stage this is Derrick Thomas. I tracked him down after he made fun video online about the gay and Lesbian Kingdom. I created a youtube channel. That has an ongoing series on micro nations and kind of the funny stuff that they get up to so there see land of land lower Malaysia. Lieber Land Danica in the Game Lesbian Kingdom of the Cross island. Derek told me that this gay kingdom was born in two thousand four when Australia passed a law saying that marriage was strictly between a man and a woman with gay marriage all the rage in America. The changes here a designed to thwart any similar attempts legal recognition. At Dav aside their community is facing a new wave way of homophobia. Here's John Howard. The prime minister at the time. The definition of marriage is something that should not a time potentially be subject to redefinition will change so in an attempt to protect against future gay marriages the law said marriage is by definition between a man and a woman and every single wedding ceremony in Australia. I kid you not that definition had to be like at your wedding you would need to say the words marriage. According to law in Australia is the Union of a man and a woman. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard in so romantic really but Derek said it actually kind of backfired and drew a lot more attention from activists about gay marriage than ever before Australia including one group in two thousand and four a group of gay rights activists who were attending the Brisbane. Gay Pride Festival Were frustrated with two thousand four marriage amendment act in Australia. They got on a boat. Well a seaplane That they christened the gay flower sailed it out to an island in the coral sea islands. Territory called CATO. Island planted a flag and said this is our country now Gay Marriage is legal. And that's kind of how the gain lesbian keenum of coral sea islands
