Wealthy Behavior
A highlight from A Primer on Mortgage-Backed Securities
"Welcome to Wealthy Behavior, talking money and wealth with Heritage Financial, the podcast that digs into the topics, strategies and behaviors that help busy and successful people build and protect their personal wealth. I'm your host, Sammy Azuz, the president and CEO of Heritage Financial, a Boston based wealth management firm working with high net worth families across the country for longer than 25 years. Now let's talk about the wealthy behaviors that are key to a rich life. On this episode of the Wealthy Behavior podcast, we have a special guest, Ken Shinoda, portfolio manager at Double Line Capital, where he manages and co -manages several fixed income strategies, as well as overseeing the team investing in non -agency backed mortgage securities. I can think of a few people who would be better to speak with at a moment in time like this for the market, just given the sharp moves we've had in interest rates, which have impacted bonds and stocks and mortgage rates being higher than we've seen in a long time. And be sure to stick to the end as I digest this conversation with our chief investment officer, Bob Weiss, and share his key takeaways as well. I'm excited for this conversation, so welcome to Wealthy Behavior, Ken. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. Absolutely. Could you provide our listeners maybe with a brief overview of Double Line and your role with the firm? Absolutely. Double Line is a Los Angeles based asset manager. We predominantly manage fixed income, but we also have some passive smart beta equity strategies that have done quite well. We have a commodity strategy, but I would say about 90 % of our assets are fixed income based with a heavy tilt towards securitized products, which are things like mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, collateralized loan obligations. We have about 95 billion under management. And what is your role specifically with the firm? I know I mentioned the bio, but how would you explain that to listeners? Yeah, I am a portfolio manager across a variety of our products, especially those that are more focused on mortgage backed securities. I also have the structured products committee, which oversees the asset allocation process on our securitized focused strategies. How did you get started on this career path? How did you get to this point? I wanted to get into something real estate related coming out of school. I had a couple of interviews. I actually was interning at Trust Company West TCW, which where many of the Double Line employees came from and just happened to stumble onto this role. I never didn't come out of school thinking, hey, I want to trade mortgage backed securities. It wasn't really something that was pushed on the West Coast. I think East Coast schools are more investment banking trading focused. So, luck happens. Pretty big asset management community out in the West Coast with a pretty big presence, especially in Southern California with PIMCO, WAMCO, Capital Group out here. So there's actually a pretty big fixed income focus, at least in the Southern California area. Great. And we've talked a couple of times already about mortgage backed securities. How would you explain those to listeners or maybe people who've read the big short and have some misconceptions about what they are and how risky they could be? If you go back a long, long, long time ago before we created the government sponsored entities, Fannie, Freddie and Jeannie Mae mortgages, if you went to a bank to get a mortgage, it was always going to be floating rate, a digestible rate mortgage because the banks didn't want to take on such a long duration risk. And what happened was Fannie and Freddie and Jeannie Mae were put into place to try to get the cost of debt down for Americans to buy homes and a goal to increase home ownership or help more people get into homes. And they introduced the 30 year fixed rate mortgage and then they would package up those mortgages eventually and create bonds backed by these mortgages. So you can basically buy a bond that's government guaranteed, that's whose cash flows come from these mortgage backed securities. And so instead of taking on credit risk, what you're really taking on is prepayment risk. If rates go down, borrowers have the ability to refinance without any cost really. And if rates go higher, then the refinancing activity slows down. So you have this kind of like uncertainty of how long your investment is. Is it a one year bond or is it a 10 year bond? It all depends on the prepayments through time. So instead of sitting around and worrying about credit risk and default risk, you're really sitting around and worrying about the direction of rates and what that means for refinancing activity. And so the direction of rates is a great place to go. You've been doing this for a while. How would you characterize the investment environment, the interest rate environment that we're in right now? Well, it's been the worst interest rate environment that I've seen from a sharp movement and rates higher. I mean, we've been in a bond bear market now for three years, the 10 year yield on a closing basis. The low was in August of 2020. Intraday, we were a little bit lower in March during kind of the fiasco when the shutdown started. And we've reached new highs in August across the curve really. So it's been a really tough market. Part of it's been driven by the Fed with their reaction to high inflation. And we've seen a pretty dramatic increase in short term rates and the long end has fallen. And we have a little rally as there was hopes and glimmers of a soft landing and data rolling over. But what we have now is the soft landing narrative is still there, but the data's coming in better than expected. So I think a couple of prints, the GDP print came in strong, you had services coming strong, you had some jobs that are still coming in strong. And so the whole curve has kind of shifted back up with the market now thinking the Fed may still have more to do. And if they don't have more than one hike, they're at least going to keep rates higher for longer. And if the economy is strong, then why should long term rates be so low? Maybe they should normalize up towards, let's say, four and a half, five percent on the 10 year. So that's kind of what's happened, I think over the last 30 days is the narrative has shifted from kind of this expectations of growth rolling over to, you know, perhaps growth is better than expected. And now the market's just waiting and watching for more data to come in to guide them. So you're not to put words in your mouth, but maybe you're more in the camp then that the higher rates that we've been seeing is a good sign for the economy versus a bad sign for the economy? I think in the near term, it's a good sign. It means that the data is coming in positively. The data is backwards looking, though. So I think inevitably the lags will kick in and higher rates will start hurting certain pockets of the market. You know, the what's happened is so many high quality companies locked in such low cost of debt and so many Americans locked in such low cost of mortgage rates. Right. Three, three and a half percent, you know, maybe a year or two years ago that it's just taking long for the transmission mechanism of higher rates to come to the economy. We just have way more fixed debt than than we used to. Europe is a place where the transmission mechanism is perhaps working faster because more of their lending to companies is floating rate at banks. So the places where we're going to see the pain and we're already seeing pain now are pockets that are more floating rate. So commercial real estate is a good example. A lot of floating rate debt there. You're talking about people that borrowed it like, two percent, three years ago, and now they got to roll their debt at like seven percent. Right. It's going to create issues. Bank loans, bank loans float and the cost of debt is effectively double. The average spread on the bank loan index going back 10 years is about 500. And short term rates are now 500 basis points. So these companies went from borrowing at five percent to now having to pay 10 percent. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. Those are those lags that everyone talks about. And I think that they'll still come through eventually. And it's probably going to happen sometime in the fourth quarter or first quarter next year. So right now, the move higher in rates, I think it's in reaction to the positive economic data that we're seeing. But I still think it's an attractive entry point. If you haven't owned long treasuries or assets that have interest rate risk, it's been a good thing for you. So congratulations. But now it's probably one of the cheapest parts of the market. I mean, you want to buy assets when people are pricing in all the bad things. There's not much downside left. When I think about treasuries, that's kind of how it feels right now. Like everything bad that could happen is happening or has happened. Right. The Fed is hiking. Inflation was high. Foreign buying is very low. Economic data surprisingly upside. So it's kind of like all the bad news seems to be in. Last week was interesting because you had that services PMI come in stronger than expected. It will jump up. I think it went from like 52 to 54 or something. If it's north of 50, it's expansionary. And the economy in the US is very service oriented. And off that news, the bond market didn't really move much. It's already kind of at these high levels. I think you would have expected another move higher in rates on that news, but it kind of just settled in. So the big headwind right now is the supply. There's just a ton of treasury supply coming. But if you get any data surprise to the downside come kind of Q4 or maybe Q1 of 2024, I think that could ignite a pretty strong rally in rates. So the thing to worry about is really, does growth stay stronger than expected? We grow our way out of this, right? Yeah, absolutely. So would you agree that the Fed is much more influential in determining short term rates and the market is much more influential in determining like 10 year yields? Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's accurate. So maybe back it up and help our listeners understand what makes the 10 year yield move in either direction? What does it mean when it's moving up or when it's moving down? Yeah, I mean, there's different ways to models that have come out from different participants to like estimate what the fair value for the 10 year should be. One of them is what is the neutral rate of interest that's neither accommodative or restrictive? The R star. And that's, I think, the first layer. So let's just throw a number out and say that's like 2%, right? Then sometimes people say, well, then you need to layer in what long run inflation will be over that 10 year horizon. So let's call that, that's another 2 % or so core CPI gets back down to that level. And then some term premium, maybe that's 50 basis points. So that would get you to like a 4 .5 % 10 year treasury yield. You're getting the neutral rate plus some premium for inflation over 10 years plus some term premium. And you could argue over the term premium, maybe it's supposed to be 50, maybe it's supposed to be a hundred. If you think it's going to be a hundred, then you should think 10 years going to 5%. Now on the flip side, there's buying from pensions and there's buying from money managers and other institutions that kind of can drive the fair value below that four and a half number we just came up with, things like QE, right? That's why we got to such low levels is that the buying outside of those that are just looking at that fair value coming in, maybe it's lack of supply, maybe it's foreign buying and so on and so forth. So part of it's driven by kind of expectations of inflation through time. And then part of it's just driven by the supply and demand of bonds that are out there. And that can be, things like QE can affect that, right? So that first 2 % that you called, I was picturing in my head is almost like the neutral rate. What determines that? What would cause that to be higher or lower? Or is that just fairly static across time in that assumption or that model? That's the big debate upon the context right now is, are we in a new world of higher inflation where the neutral rate would need to be higher? Whereas if you go back to like the last 20 years pre -COVID, let's call it when we were in this like world of secular stagnation, where there was arguments that maybe that neutral rates is much lower since we're living in a world of lower growth, lower inflation, so on and so forth. So depending on how things shake out and what the future looks like, maybe that neutral rates higher. What are some things that could make inflation and growth stay higher? There's like the three D's I call it. It's like demographics, right? We've had a smaller workforce every year going back the last 10 years because the baby boomers are retiring. We also stopped immigration pretty aggressively too. So demographics are part of it. You got defense spending, right? Governments are definitely spending more on defense and that could be inflationary, expansionary. We've got spending on decarbonization, right? There's going to be trillions of dollars spent on decarbonization. There's infrastructure spending that needs to happen in the US. There's all these sources of potential growth that are coming that in theory could keep growth higher, inflation higher. And this is not a bad thing for the economy, but it just means that rates will probably have to be higher. And so I guess the real truth will be shown is after we kind of get through the next 12 to 24 months, soft landing, no landing, hard landing, whatever, what comes next? And are these long -term forces that are potentially pushing through into the economy going to keep growth and inflation higher in the future? Got it. So pivoting to mortgage backed securities, what are you seeing in the mortgage backed securities market now? Yeah, mortgages look the most interesting they have in almost 10 years. If you look at the spread on current coupon mortgage backed securities, which are the bonds that are being manufactured today by the loans being made today. So these are like seven and a half coupon loans get packaged into six and a half coupon bonds. The spread on them somewhere call between it like 165 to 175 and relative to corporate spreads, which are almost a hundred or a hundred ish, maybe a little bit wide of that.

The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S13 E11 Writer & Editor: Art, Justice, Culture
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, don't have any regulars, because reasons, I guess. As for our guest, he's from Exeter in the United Kingdom. He is a writer, artist, and also editor. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sean B .W. Parker. Hello, thanks very much. Nice to be here. Anytime. So, how's life? Life's fine. It's in the middle of a heatwave here on the Sussex coast in England, so we're burning up, but getting on with work, you know. Oh yeah, same here. So, have you been up too much recently? Well, I'm constantly editing and writing. It's what I do, and some painting as well. So, at the times that we're not absolutely melting here, I was at the falsely accused day yesterday up in London, supporting other colleagues there outside New Scotland Yard, so that was exciting. Ah, okay. That's pretty cool. So, as a writer, artist, and or editor, how long have you been going on for? Well, I started to write at the age of 14, so back in 1989, and had my first poem published in 1995 in the local paper, and for the last 10 years, since 2014, I've published eight books and contributed to four more. So, I mean, I've been doing it for 30 years, but as a professional, in inverted commas, for about 10. Nice. What inspired you to become a writer? Probably Mr Robert Smith of The Cure, I think, in the first instance, back then in the 80s, understanding the worlds that these artists can take you to. And then discovering Mr Dylan Thomas, the poet from South Wales, was revelatory in my 20s. So, putting those together with various, the fact that when you enter into a world of verse or poem, can kind of take you to another place is very beautiful, and I'm an enthusiast of the English language. And so, yeah, it just all comes from some kind of inside source that you can't really locate. Ah, fabulous. And what about artists and editor? At what point did those inspirations came along? I've always been interested in art itself. I got my degree from the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey, around the millennium, and got a Master's there as well. And my speciality was in abstract painting and video art. I've continued to paint, given a chance. And so that's always been undercurrent. I've never really been out there kind of marketing myself in the art world for unknown reasons, but for the fact that I'm much more confident in writing and it's more flexible and there are more opportunities. But they do go hand in hand completely for me. So, yeah, I don't know if I answered. Yeah, that was a very good response. So where would you see yourself 20 years from now? 20 years from now? Well, I am very much a live in the moment kind of person and I don't go much before next week, beyond next week. But 20 years from now, of course, almost all artists I know would like to increase their reach at any stage. And that's part of what the podcast revolution is all about. And the independent way we can do that these days is fabulous. So you kind of connect up all these things. The albums on Spotify, the books on Amazon, the news on X. And you kind of tie all those things in together with brilliant kind of podcasts like this, who are able to tell the world about it. And there's this kind of subculture of kind of connected streams, which is really interesting. And we'll see what that leads to in 20 years time, if that is the established norm, which I'm sure it kind of will be. Nice, nice. Have you ever thought about living in a world that is literally nothing but gardens? I have never thought about that. But that sounds like a very nice idea and somewhat heavenly. But also possibly without the additions of the modern world, which I also like, like concrete and nightclubs and things. Ah, yes, of course.

Should it become a tropical storm, the next name on the 2023 list of names is Ophelia. No matter the designation, this will be significant a storm for the east coast Friday into the weekend. Rain will spread into eastern North Carolina early today and then continue to move northward into southeast Virginia this afternoon. Rain will then spread quickly northward Friday night southeast reaching Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southeast New York. Along with the rain, it will become increasingly windy, especially in coastal areas where there can be gusts of 40 to 60 miles per hour. The persistent rain in portions of central east coast areas will range from 4 to 8 inches. The rain will then spread into southern New England Saturday. The center of the system will remain in the middle Atlantic through Sunday and then exit to the northeast Sunday night with more rain and wind impacting the area before the storm arrives. Much of the northeast today will be pleasant with some sunshine. Another area of challenging weather will be in the central part of the nation where a large storm system will cause heavier showers and storms through South Dakota and Nebraska into western Iowa. A few of these storms will produce very heavy rain, gusty winds and hail. These storms will be persistent through Friday night eastward to central Iowa and then southern Minnesota. The same system will cause steadier rain through North Dakota westward through Montana into Wyoming and a few lingering showers can also start the day in parts of Nevada, Idaho and Utah. Some of the higher conditions may also see some snow. Omaha Nebraska will have clouds and breaks of sun today with some heavier showers and thunderstorms high today up to 82.

The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
Dry Scalp and Wig Woes? Maximize Moisture With Keisha's Expert Tips
"The first question comes to us from a lady out in Baltimore. Her name is Maxine Baltimore Malland out here on the East Coast. So now she says her hair is very dry. This is what she writes. She is a wig wearer. That's what she put down. And her hair, she said, is braided underneath. Any steps to get moisture into her hair. Any advice is dry under the wig. What advice would you tell Maxine, Keisha? Well, the first thing I would like to know is if this is a daily wig, is the wig sewn down or is she pulling it off a mannequin head and putting it on every day? You know what? She didn't say. But are you able to address the different scenarios for us today? I can. Sure. For those who are wearing sewn down wigs or what we call tacking it down, depending on if it's the lace front or something like that, you should be able to, honestly, I'm just going to keep it real, peel your wig up in the back. Oh my. Okay. Wow. And get you, I'm just going old school. So, get some hair grease or some oil that you can put on your scalp in between those cornrows, those braids, and then pull your wig back down. Especially if it has the lace front in the front. Now, if you are a daily wig wearer where you just put it off and on, I happen to be one of those. Like a hat. Yeah. Basically, you put it on like a hat or a beanie. And so that means if she's taking it off and on every night, she's probably wearing some sort of wig cap. Take the cap off, put some oil on your scalp. I suggest if you're able to use any of the nut oil, nut -based oils like an almond oil, those are very, very good on the scalp. People tend to go for coconut oil, but coconut oil doesn't always penetrate scalp. It will sometimes just sit on it and create another barrier on the scalp, which is not helpful at all. So that would be my suggestion. And then my suggestion, if she's a daily wig wearer, take your braids down once a week and shampoo your hair and do a moisture, do a deep condition. That's important. When you're done with it, blow dry it, braid it back, and I'll braid it back down if she's able to do that herself. But that part is very important. Wow. Well, I tell you something, I am just blown away literally by this. No, I really am. That's really good advice. And it seems to me, everything that you said, there was one common common, you know, commonality, and that was that you want to add some kind of moisture in to your scalp. Oh, and drink water. Drink water. Why is that important? Because you need to moisturize from the inside out. And if you're on any type of medication or type of regimen, it's going to change the way your body receives moisture or hydrates. So if you're able to drink more water, definitely drink more water, and you should see a difference. As you moisturize from the top and, you know, hydrate from within, you should start to see a difference in your hair and in your scalp.

Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Happy Monday. It is time for another awesome week in Bitcoin. Man. It is so cool getting up on a Monday morning. You know, most people are like, oh, God, it's another Monday. They don't even want to get out of bed. They're dragging ass. They're like, oh, but Bitcoiners are like, let's go. All right. Good morning to all of you, Lisa. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Mickey. Morning. Good morning. Don Bay Terrence. Good morning to all of you. Shout outs to my cobart in the audience. Joe Carla. Sorry. Hi, guys. Alex, the other Alex, there is another Alex. Alex talks tweets. She works at Swan. Shout out to you. You're welcome to come up. She does some amazing stuff. I'm not there's other people in the audience here who work for Swan. I'm not going to talk to you because you guys have some semi names. I don't know. Anyway, morning, Jacob as well. Welcome back from your golf excursion or the weekend. Tone vase morning there on you an invite. I just found out I'm on a panel with tone vase for Pacific Bitcoin. I'm moderating tone vase and Pierre Richard and Jimmy song. That's awesome. And I guess our mission is to talk about shit coins. So for whatever that's worth. All right. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin episode four hundred and thirty six. Shout outs to our supporters on Fountain and Noster Nests. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise, teach the other seven billion people on this planet why there's hope because of this bright orange feature we call Bitcoin. Today's show, we're going to be discussing BTC performance versus other assets. There's a tweet Saylor put out with a really interesting chart. We'll be talking about that. United States interest payments are at insane levels and the near perfect energy arbitrage of Bitcoin later today. We have Ben Justman from Penny Lane Wine coming on the show. Very excited. He's an example of the Bitcoin circular economy. So you've got people who are craftsmen making really fine high end things and they're selling them directly to big winners. And man, I love to see it because this is the future. Like we're moving away from this entire consumer rush, rush, rush, get on the hamster wheel, make money that is constantly devaluing and then spend it on shit that you're going to replace one month or one year from now because it's garbage. But that's the entire consumer economy system. It's insane. But Bitcoin is switching that. I think we're going to flip this thing completely on its head. How long will it take? I have no idea. But I think it's coming. Anybody have any opening comments you want to make before we start digging in here? Just that the coffee and the Bitcoin charts are hitting hard this morning. So let's go. Yeah, what's up with that? I saw there was something like, I don't remember the exact stat, but the open interest has is skyrocketing, I guess. We went from twenty six, what is this, five ish to twenty seven thousand two hundred and thirty ish per Bitcoin right as of right now this morning. Lisa Huff, what did you do? You know, I missed the days when Bitcoin was actually volatile, like I am excited to see that it moved and I was also excited to see that it moved down last week. But as for me personally, Alex, what you said is correct. Bitcoiners were ready to get up and do it. And in the last several months, I have, because of Bob Burnett's lovely wife, Lola, I heard a comment that she said she made about health and fitness. She said you have to approach it like it is your lifestyle. Yeah, kind of kind of changes things up. I'm raring to go at like five o 'clock in the morning. Start workout, just went to Pilates. That's my whole life story, guys. Now you know it. Nice. I like it. I think it's awesome. Like I've shifted also because now I'm on the East Coast. So the showtime starts differently for me now. And I have time first thing in the morning, get up and go do physical things. And man, it's it's been amazing. It's been awesome. You've got to exercise for life to keep your life long and healthy. It is a lifetime thing. And finding something that you enjoy doing while you exercise is critical to that. Personally, since I'm on the West Coast, I make my bed and it's a successful day before Cafe Bitcoin. And I am not qualified to discuss anything, just so everybody knows. It's all good. Shout out to Mike Germano in the audience, throwing you an invite if you would like to come up here and obligation to do so. Alex, good morning. Welcome. I think this is the first time you've been up here now. Hey, good morning, everybody. Yeah. Thanks for inviting me up. This is a lot of fun. I'm always listening while changing diapers in the morning and doing the whole mom thing before I clock in. So thanks for having me. Yeah. What are you excited about in Bitcoin and with Swan and with everything? What are you excited about? Wow. That's a loaded question. But I mean, short term, I am stoked on Pacific Bitcoin coming up. I sent out an email blast this weekend. Hopefully many of you guys received it. And I heard you mention your panel, Alex. And the description in the email of that panel is... So the title is Shitcoin Slayers, but that's pretty awesome. And basically, shitcoiners are shaking in their boots and stand no chance against Alex, Tone Vays, Jimmy, Pierre. There'll definitely be some fighting words and not some subtle jabs. It's going to be an awesome talk. Yeah, just a lot of good stuff in the pipeline for PB. Hope to see you guys there. Tone Vays, good morning. We're on a panel together. Good morning. Yeah, I saw that in the email that you were sending that over. Yeah, so that's great. Do you guys know which day that would be? That first day or second day? I have no idea. I just literally just found out myself because I got the email just like everybody else. It's funny, right? They're like, they don't even tell me. Yeah, no, it's good. I actually tweeted out just last night. Ethereum had a brand new weekly low 12 -month close against Bitcoin. And that is a very weak TA symbol for Ethereum. And it's already going down a little bit today as well. So I think, yeah, shitcoins are in a bit of trouble. But the weird thing is, though, have you guys seen what is going on over in Singapore right now with token 2049, which pretty much has become the biggest shitcoin conference in the world? It is crazy. That conference is so scary to me. It tells me that shitcoiners still have an unreasonable amount of money. And maybe the bear market's not over yet. I don't know if anyone's seen the party videos from there. No. What I wonder about is, in this next cycle, are they tapping Asia? Are you going to see a lot of shitcoin conferences over in Asia? And are they going to be gigantic? Oh, I was going to just say probably. But the scary thing is that that conference was massive. And they're renting out sweets with the best views of the... Let's get some context. Let's get some context. What do you mean by massive? What does this mean? What does massive mean to you? Numbers? Do you have an idea of a number of attendees kind of thing? I don't. I'm assuming 5 ,000 to 10 ,000 people. I wasn't going to watch that much. But it was like the after party, right? Like renting out the most expensive restaurant in Singapore. Getting front row seats or the best views of F1, a race that was happening the day after the event. If you just do the hashtag token2049 and just look at their after parties, I don't think anyone really cares. It seemed like a borderline Bitcoin 2022 or one of their older ones. It was insane. And based on how well the shitcoin community is doing, I'm like, man, this bear market may not be over yet. Well, Tone, they're long on other people's fiat, but that tells me they're short on their own tokens. That's why they're spending so hard. It's possible. Is Ethereum ever going to make new highs against Bitcoin? Nope. No, no way. And I said that on a show. I was on Ben Cohen's podcast and a lot of his audience is apparently shitcoiners. And I said that no shitcoin has ever made a new high versus Bitcoin in the following bull market of Bitcoin. Like it's never happened. Actually, I did find one exception. That exception was Doge. But that's because of Elon Musk. It's not because of anything Doge did. And BNB, right? No, BNB never really pumped in the 2017 market because it was just launching then. So BNB's high is the 2021 bull market, and that will never be surpassed. In the case of Ethereum, it's the 2017 bull market. In the case of Litecoin, it's the 2013 bull market. So if a token has been around for like a full year before the bull market, that is its ultimate high. Like it never breaches it. Ethereum will never break its 2017 high. No way.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Robert C. O'Brien and Neil Auerbach join Hugh to discuss how the GOP should approach Climate & Energy policy
"You know what that means. That means Dwayne will be sitting in for me tomorrow. That's what that means. That means the Browns, the Cleveland Browns, are on Monday Night Football tonight against the Threaded Steelers, and they gotta go play in Pittsburgh. Last time I recall a Pittsburgh game, the Steelers snapped the ball over the head of Terry, not Terry, Big Ben Roethlisberger at the start of the playoff game. That's all I remember about Pittsburgh, but tonight I will be screaming from 8 .15 East Coast time until probably midnight. I don't know how long the games go with the new rules, but whatever, Dwayne's gonna come in and talk to you about the Browns win tomorrow, and then I'll be back on Wednesday. The real reason for that is that we have friends in town that we haven't seen in a couple of years, and we are going to go show them down East. So I'm gonna be down East after I'm up late watching the Browns. So tomorrow morning, if anything bad happens, it's Dwayne's fault. I wanna begin today with a horrible story, and it's every parent's nightmare. If you got little kids in the car, you may not want them to hear this because it's just every parent's worst nightmare. It's a small story, right? With terrible tragedy, involves four children. A baby died after ingesting fentanyl at a New York day school preschool nursery. Three other children from the Divino Nino daycare were hospitalized and treated for opioid. Now, two adults have been arrested for reckless indifference, and two are charged with murder for the death of the one -year -old.

The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 13 Willard Romney's Revenge? Dems Legitimizing Prostitution? Oliver The Fake?
"Hey, feeling unsure about your finances these days? You're not alone. That's why Noble Gold Investments is here to help. Just hear it straight from the people who they've helped. The Noble crew walked me through everything with no stress. With their help, I could finally sleep easy at night.

Go to noblegoldinvestments .com right now. That is noblegoldinvestments .com right now. Hey, everybody. Happy Saturday. Thought Crimes. I joined late to this because I was at our Pastor Summit. But Andrew, Blake, and Jack carry the water for the first part of the episode. Talk about Mitt Romney. Talk about the Virginia Hooker. And then we also talk about Oliver Anthony, who I call a ginger Bernie Sanders with a banjo. Thought Crimes, where we say things that you're not even allowed to think in Western society. This is your warning. I'm just warning you that, yes, there is things in this episode that are not always appropriate for homeschoolers. Email us as always freedom at charliekirk .com and get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com. That is tpusa .com. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's edition, this week's edition of Thought Crime. Are you ready to commit thought crime? Because we've got a lot. Let's go around the horn. I'm not even sure because we got a lot of craziness going on right now. Our gas prices are up almost a full dollar here since last week, almost. And I was in California about a week ago. And I think are you guys hitting about six, almost $6 a gallon right now? Yeah, we are. Yeah, it's about five. How do you do it? I mean, honestly, Santa Barbara is a small town, so we don't drive a whole bunch. We don't feel it as much as probably like, you know, our Los Angeles friends. But I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, California is and actually this, this includes Arizona, Nevada, I believe, Washington and Oregon are considered the same sort of gas island. So they are as it has to do with where the oil comes from. It has to do with where they're getting refined. California has all these special additives and regulations that the refineries, these these benchmarks that refineries need to hit. So it can only come from certain refineries. So it limits the supply even more. It's a whole problem. So Charlie will be here in a little bit. He's at the Pastor Summit right now. He's dealing with some stuff. He's taking care of business on assignment, of course, for Turning Point USA, the faith coalition. But we're here. We're going to hold down the fort until Charlie returns. So shoot us your emails freedom at Charlie kirk .com. Let's get into the first topic here. This one, I think we've all talked about it, but we haven't all mentioned it together. This one, the the revenge or should we say the elegy for Willard Romney? Willard Mitt Romney has announced he's quitting the Senate total rage quit right before the 2024 election. So he's going to serve out the remainder of his term. And of course, as befits his character, he's riding off into the sunset by having the globalists at the Atlantic publish a completely obnoxious passive aggressive interview, trashing his colleagues, trashing Trump, trashing the GOP base. So what is the final word on the GOP 2012 standard bearer, the man who was the nominee for president in 2012? And, Blake, I think you actually have an excerpt from the from this article that's by McKay Coppins in the Atlantic. Oh, well, yeah, exactly, Jack. It's it's amazing. So, of course, he's everything about Romney is, you know, the supposed like, you know, politeness and decorum and all the damage that Trump does to our democracy by being always the last Boy Scout. Yeah, yeah, the last Boy Scout. So naturally, what he does is he announces he's retiring. And then, you know, in perfect timing with it, McKay Coppins has this biography that he's putting out that's, you know, all about Romney and has all these like data points in it. And he's basically just like Romney doing like a drive by shooting on other members of the Republican Party as he leaves. Let's see, like one of the lines from it. This is a summary as Axios summarizes it helpfully for us. Romney shares a unique disgust for senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas, who he thought were too smart to believe Trump won the 2020 election. But, quote, put politics above the interests of liberal democracy and the Constitution. And then the even wilder one is for Senator J .D. Vance of Ohio. He says, quote, I don't know that I can disrespect someone more than J .D. Vance. That is a direct quote from Senator Romney describing Senator Vance, who he still has to, you know, share a Senate chamber with for the next year before he actually quits. But, you know, J .D., I mean, can can someone explain what what what is J .D. Vance done in his time in the Senate that's been so ill reputable? It could. Does anyone have what when he went to East Palestine and it seems it seems his crime is that went on there? I'm trying to figure this out. It seems his crime is that, you know, J .D. Vance came out of Ohio. He went to Yale, I believe it was. And then he was in finance and was, you know, and then wrote his memoir, which was very well received. And he's this up and comer on the coast. And then I guess he moved back to Ohio, started doing too many appearances on Tucker Carlson tonight. And like, according to Romney, it was like the transformation was just was just too jarring, like it was too too much of a transformation for for Mr. Romney, who himself has basically transmuted into this like Democrat, I guess. But that doesn't count. This is an interesting this is an interesting take on on all of it. And Andrew, maybe you can give us a sense of it, because what I think that Romney is really upset about here is that he's considering J .D. Vance a class a class traitor. He's calling him a class traitor and saying, look, you're allowed to make money in finance. You're allowed to make go to Yale. You're allowed to go to the great schools. But the one thing and you're certainly allowed to run for the Senate. But the one thing you're not allowed to do is actually go out to the people of your state, listen to the their interests and listen to their issues and then grow and go and try to actually represent them in the United States Senate. This I is think class traitor. I think that's really smart framing, Jack, because at some level, a lot of this is much more about vibe. It's much more about what Mitt Romney thinks is classy versus gross or respectable versus, you know, essentially untoward and beyond the pale. Right. So it's all based on his own little framework of of class structure, of decorum, those sorts of things. So it says here in this, he says he was also highly critical of Senator J .D. Vance, Republican of Ohio, who reinvented his persona to become a Trump acolyte after publishing a bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy about the working class that Romney loved. So Romney loved the book. So at some level, I think it was just like, so I love this book. And how can this kind of become like a Trump bootlicker? Go ahead. Right. So I can there's there and just real quickly, it's kind of like because in the book, J .D. Vance's conclusions, I would say I don't offer this as criticism. I just say it's sort of it's an evolution on J .D. Vance's part because he sort of just says in the book, well, that that sort of that blase classic Republican line of, you know, and everybody just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I can do it. So can you. And we should cut taxes for big businesses and the one percent pays most of the income tax and that that's kind of it. And then when he went to actually run for office and started really engaging with people politically, that's when he shifted, not socially. Right. But he shifted economically to become more of a populist. Blake, what you're saying? Well, what's so telling in this article is like some of the just a little specific anecdotes that it does pick. And I almost wonder if Coppins is like subtly trolling Romney. Apparently Romney lives by himself and his family in D .C. It mentions let me get let me get the line here. It talks about his his his pad that he lives in. And it says the place had not been Romney's first choice for Washington residents when he was elected in twenty eighteen. He'd had his eye on a newly remodeled condo at the Watergate with glittering views of the Potomac. His wife, Ann, fell in love with the place, but his soon to be staffers and colleagues warned him about the commute, which, by the way, it's like a mile and a half to the Capitol. So he grudgingly chose practicality over luxury and settled for the two point four million dollar townhouse instead. And then, of course, this is not good enough for for Ann. So she never visits him when he's in D .C. So it turns into a gross bachelor pad that has it mentions there's crumbs everywhere.

Animal Radio
A highlight from 1241. What Does It Mean When Your Favorite Drinking Buddy Is The Cat?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. I'm going to go ahead and set the scene right now. Dr. Debbie is chowing down or drinking a drink I guess it's kombucha is that what you call that? Kombucha, yeah! It's a fabulous fermented drink that's got a little bit of vinegar it. to Any alcohol in it? Technically there's a warning on there yeah so but it's not like you drink it to get you know lit it's just it's just a natural process of the fermentation releases alcohols. Can I just say it looks absolutely disgusting. It is there's a sludge at the bottom and so you have to stir it but that's where the good stuff's at. You want that. Are there any redeeming factors of kombucha for animals? Can animals drink kombucha? You know because of the alcohol in there I've never heard of it actually being safe for for dogs but you know if we could develop one for dogs that would be appropriate. I guess the first thing would be would they like it because most kombuchas are kind of citrusy flavored or they have like you know different kind of additives to them that may not be appealing on the canine palette so we might have to find ways to make that a doggy attractant. I don't know. So there's no beef or chicken kombucha? Heck no. I wouldn't drink that. Is it good? Do you drink it because it's good for you? Yeah it's got a lot of live bacterial cultures that are good for your digestive tract. So it's actually in my opinion is better than yogurt because you can't get this amount of active cultures from just eating yogurt without the calories. This is awesome stuff. It's like 50 to 60 calories for a bottle. What about probiotics for pets because there's lots of those out there. That's true yeah and I think that there's a lot of probiotics out there. We just don't really know what cultures are necessarily the best cultures for dogs or cats or people even. I think they're still really looking at that and saying plus there's the problem of getting the probiotic in through the digestive tract and not have it digested. So there's got to be this kind of gets past the stomach and can actually do its work in the digestive tract so not all probiotics are the same. So where do you get this? Do you make it or do you buy it? Some people make it and I just buy it at the health food store, the grocery store. You could buy it everywhere now but it's definitely good for the gut and you know part of your immune system. So it's good for everything. I'm thinking about six years ago when you first came on to animal radio you used to come in with a diet Pepsi one. Yeah I've kind of evolved I'd say. Things have changed. You know who we're going to have on the show today is a lady who makes cocktails for animals for dogs and cats. Okay. I know this it sounds a little strange to me. Alcoholic? Well it's a pet winery and I don't think there's any alcohol involved. No there's no alcohol in it. I have a Fetch Me Noir and it looks like a bottle of wine. It really does. I have a Meow Sling and that Meow Sling looks like one of those little shots that you'd get on the airplane. And I also have a purgandy, a Fetch Me Grigio, a dog teeny, a cat teeny. A dog teeny and a cat teeny. Yeah about everything. I don't understand. So you can include your pets if you're having a party and do it in a safe way. Exactly. So for the holidays you're coming up you can pour a little martini gliese with a little bit of the puppy liquor in there and it'd be a safe alternative. They even have a bark brew if you know if your dog likes prefers beer instead. This is Barktober right? There you go. We're going to talk to this lady who's invented this stuff is that correct? She's coming up in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. What are you working on over there in the newsroom Lori? Got a very interesting story. How you you could think you have food poisoning but it's really your puppy that's making you sick.

The most ridiculous show on television, not just this year, but every year it's on. It just wins the title automatically. If they had a ridiculous show category at the Emmys, they wouldn't even have any of their nominees. I mean, maybe winning time would get nominated. I don't know. But Morning Show just clears it out. What a batshit, crazy, ridiculous show. Wow. It's really like they created a podcast thing so we could just break down the morning show. That's really, I think, the real reason behind podcasting in general. Coming up on this podcast, Million Dollar Picks and a little Vikes Eagles at the top. And then editor at large at the Ringer, Brian Curtis, who was also a giant Cowboys fan, comes on and talk about the Cowboys. Could this be the year? Keep saying that, but could this be the year? And we talked some NFL stuff. We talked some sports media stuff. We talked about documentaries and just all the stuff that happens when Brian Curtis comes on. Oh, we talked about Joe Buck and Troy Aikman as well, who have hit a really interesting milestone as a combo. So that happened. And then Kevin Hench, my buddy, the Red Sox fired their GM today, and we couldn't resist spending 20 minutes recapping. One of the four -year oddest, strangest four -year runs the Red Sox have ever had. And we're still in the middle of it. And I still don't understand why Mookie Betts isn't on the team but also like, man, since the 2018 World Series, the Red Sox have just been a hot dumpster fire. And I say that knowing that they almost made the World Series two years ago, but when you look at everything that happened, wow. So Hench comes on and talk about that. It is all next. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. ["Pearl Jam Theme Song"] All right, I'm taping this part of the podcast. It is 11 .31 East Coast time. East Coast Bill is here. East Coast Bill is in Boston. I was visiting my daughter and doing some other stuff. And Thursday Night Football came on and I thought it would be a great idea to do the top segment after Eagles Vikings. East Coast Bill fell asleep at halftime. It was a new record for me. I guess I'm old. I have another birthday coming up this week. This is why I live on the West Coast because I talk about sports for a living. And East Coast Bill gets a little sleepy when the game is kind of boring and plodding along. So East Coast Bill missed some time, had to catch up, had to do a little rewind. Fortunately, there's so many commercials. I was able to still watch anything, but the Eagles beat the Vikings. They're now 2 -0 on the season. And I would say it's an uninspiring 2 -0. They probably shouldn't have covered against the Pats. They could have lost. This game they win, they don't cover. I guess on the good side, the DeAndre Swift, they traded like a 15th round pick in 2038 for them. And this little way they put together their offense where they load up on wide receivers, they hit the jackpot with hurts, and then they just say, you know what we're going to do? Just grab running backs because there's 98 of them every year. We're just going to grab two and pay nothing for them. So offensively, they look great. Defensively, you saw it last week with the Pats. The Pats were able to throw it on them. Mack almost had 300 yards in the last three quarters of that game. This game, Kirk Cousins, over and over again, heroically going for the cover, finally gets it. The Vikings cover, they don't win. Home team's now 5 -12 against the spread this season. Underdogs are 10 -7 against the spread. But for the most part, not allowed to report, the Eagles just state. They messed around in the first quarter and then said, screw it, and ran the ball down Minnesota's throat. I was thinking, Eagles, Cowboys, if you were going to make a combined over or under for wins for them, and I gave you 26, would you go over or under 26 wins combined for the two teams? They're 3 -0 right now. I would probably go over, especially when you look at the NFC and you think Philly, Dallas, San Francisco, lock those three down. I like Green Bay, Detroit, maybe New Orleans, Atlanta, and maybe that's the seven for the playoffs. And then you have Tampa Bay and the Rams. Who knows what was real and what wasn't real. Tampa Bay beat Minnesota by three in week one. We're like, oh, Tampa Bay, that's interesting. But now Minnesota's 0 -2, maybe that doesn't even matter. Rams, who knows? I mean, they just have so few good players that the moment two of them get hurt, it feels like their free fall will happen. So the NFC is already kind of uninteresting, I guess is my bigger point. Unless the Giants can rally, and who knows after the 40 -0 debacle last week, they're playing Arizona this week, so they looked out of that. But for the most part, it seems like three good teams, maybe the Packers, maybe the Lions, maybe the Saints, and then we're going to have a really bad seven seed. So if you're Minnesota, and you're looking at 31 of 270 teams started 0 -2 and made the playoffs since 1990. 31 out of 270. I can't do math, but that's not good. If you're Minnesota, at what point do you consider trading Cousins? Cousins was all over the place on the internet this week as a possible Rogers replacement. He makes 35 million this year, that's it. The Jets, I think, could do some chicanery if they wanted to. They have this thing where the Packers, it's a conditional, I think second, that turns into a first, but the Packers would have to waive the right for the condition. Clearly, Rogers is going to play 70 % of the plays, but still, they'd have to figure out some way. But if you're the Jets, could you somehow trade for Cousins and save your season? We're going to find out a lot about the Jets this week against Dallas. They get annihilated and they're one -on -one for the season, but annihilates Dallas them and they have to look at their offense and go, all right, we have a really good team. What are we going to do? Is it Jacoby Brissett or do we swing big and try to get Cousins for a year? Cousins has over 700 yards and six TDs in the first two weeks. He's been a fantasy god. I don't know how that plays out. I wish it was like basketball where I could just put stuff in the trade machine and see if it's going to work. For some reason, we made football trades more complicated than basically anything on the earth. I have no idea how the Jets would trade for Cousins, how it'd work, what the mechanics of it would be. What's he worth? Is he worth a first rounder for one year? Is he worth a third rounder? You just never know. Again, DeAndre Swift went for a 15th rounder in 2038. Cousins, I have my eye on because if you're Minnesota, you're not good. You were completely lucky last year to go 13 and four, whatever it was. Now that's evened out and maybe you start looking around and going, all right, let's pack in this year. I don't know what would have to happen, what number they would have to get to. Would they have to be one and four, one and five, one and six? But Cousins to the Jets, it's a fun talk radio topic, at least. We're not doing talk radio here. We're doing sleepy sports podcasting, but Cousins to the Jets has always felt right. It's always felt kind of perfect. He always just felt like a Jet waited to happen at some point in his career. The Jets fans listening to this right now are like, how can he keep doing this to us? We just had the Rogers thing. We had Zach Wilson. Now you're gonna throw Cousins at us. But again, Cousins, a little bit of a turnaround. He was in that Netflix show. He's kind of the big winner of quarterbacks with Mariota being the big loser. But I feel like the tide's turning on Cousins. Even Primetime Kirk today, always a disaster, gets the cover. Who knows? Put him in New York. We'll see. Philly's got, they're just basically have to figure out what their team is. They've already had a bunch of injuries and they even had a little AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts. Who knows what happened on the sidelines there, but didn't look awesome. But they have two months here to figure out their team. They're a big stretch. Week nine, Sunday, Dallas, that's home in Philly. Bi -week, week 11 at Kansas City on a Monday night. Week 12, Buffalo home. Week 13, San Francisco home. And week 14 at Dallas. So again, Dallas at KC, Buffalo, San Francisco at Dallas. And that's gonna be the five game stretch that determines are we a one seed? Are we a two seed? What is our season gonna look like? And they just have to get there. They have to stay healthy and they have to get to that point. So not a lot of lessons from Philly, Minnesota. Do I regret staying up? Although I guess I didn't stay up because I got this little nap in at halftime.

The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
Ask a Hairstylist: How to Ace Your Hair Consultations for Happy Clients
"Are listening to the All New Hair Radio Morning Show. I'm Carrie Hines with an all new segment of of Ask a Hair Stylist and today we have our two great hairstylist friends and they're really part of the family here at the Hair Radio Morning Show. You guys know Siobhan to see her. She is the the charge behind Roots Rock Salon out in West Orange, New Jersey, which has just done fantastic things. You guys see the commercial right here. And of course, Keisha McAllister all the way and you have such a great name that just runs Keisha McAllister, just nice to say all the way out in California and talking about Fairfield, California up north. And so it's great to have you guys. You literally have the country between you and real excited. What I love about this is that, because I often thought, I said, well, maybe, you know, things might be a little different as you kind of, you know, regionally, but you guys, you know, I appreciate your feedback this morning. It really kind of drives it on home. Real quick, I have one more that was, let's see, so I think it's your turn, Keisha, on this. Now it's, let's see, a new hairstylist. Her name is Tina. Tina is her name from Boston. Tina from Boston. She writes, she's a new hairstylist and she loves the hair radio. Of course you do. Thank you. And she says that what should, okay, so she wants to know any advice on doing consultations with her prospective clients. Anything you want to share that you can pass along to Tina, who's just starting her career out in Boston, Massachusetts. So, Keisha, do you want to take that? Okay. Well, Tina, welcome to the hair world. It's going to be lots of hours on your feet. You have to love it. Yeah, you have to love it. But when it comes to a consultation and prospective clients, I don't take a client without a consultation. Because not only am I trying to feel that we're going to, you know, our energy's out, but I'm also trying to figure out what this person has been doing with her hair, with their hair, or what their expectation is. I'm finding out if they're on any medications, you know, if they have some sort of, it's just so many things that we need to know. And then also do like a little liability, you know, form to say, you know, if something happens, especially if they have medical issues, because that will change the way your hair even takes shampoo sometimes. So we have to be mindful of how we work behind the bowl. So I would tell her to ask as many questions as possible because there's no stupid question, even if you ask it over and over again, because people have different definitions for the way we speak. You know, they might say, well, and I might say a pit. You know what I mean? It's different the way we communicate in the form or just sitting down and talking to the person. It would really help with that. Yeah, I agree. I think that it seems to me, and we started to do things a little differently over the course of time with regards to these consultations with the infusion of the internet and video conferencing and all of that. So technology on one hand could have helped, but it could have also exacerbated it in a sense of, you know, by losing that personal touch. But Siobhan, to see you now, out at your shop, so out on the East Coast now, over at your shop, your Roots Rocks Salon, Siobhan, how do you kind of, you know, well, let me just ask you, would you offer any other advice to this young lady who's just really getting on her way in Boston? Honestly, consultation is almost just like the foundation of a house. You know, you don't want, you know, you got to get the information. If someone comes to you and says they want a house built, you don't know what kind of house it is. They want. So you got to gather up that information. So the consultation, I think, is most of having a successful service. Yeah. So if you're bypassing the consultation, there's a high probability that you won't be pleased with the end result.
The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
Can You Stop Clients From Cancelling Appointments at the Last Minute?
"Do I stop my clients from canceling appointments at the last minute? Wow, that's a big one. Siobhan, what did he say? Well, first of all, have you experienced this, Siobhan, this year? Oh, absolutely, it happens. It's part of business. But what happens, yeah, what happens as a, as a salon owner or a stylist or what have you, you have a certain amount of hours that you're doing per week for here, you know? A good practice is to figure out your dollar or your hourly average for that and estimate the amount of services you're doing in that time. From a business standpoint, then it's good to kind of gauge what your minimum hourly rate is and put your price in to put that in there so it can cover those cancellations. Now, if you're able to operate with minimum or no cancellations, you might be able to watch your costs and maintain, you know, productivity within your salon. So there is a formula involved in that, you know, just to keep, keeping prices low is part of not having many cancellations. But if it becomes cumbersome where you're getting a lot of cancellations, there may be a need to one, either acquire a deposit to maintain, you know, your basic average hourly base pay or, you know, however you're going to do it and so forth. Because there's a lot involved. That's a slot, you know, when you have people waiting to get in there to sit in your chair and you're giving that time to someone and they're calling last minute and they can't come, then, you know, that's something that you definitely have to find a way to pivot around. And that's a thing that kind of really gets me because I can relate even though I'm not doing hair, okay, but I can certainly relate because when I schedule time, then that time I've literally taken away from my schedule and my calendar in which I could be earning more or, but I see, I hear what you're saying about, you know, kind of figuring that versus the ones who do show. But, you know, I just have to say, how difficult is it for people to have a little bit of, you know, you know, if you, well, you know. Honestly, it's a difficult time, again, because we're coming through this pandemic. So sometimes it's to no fault of their own. So if you're ill and you're unwell, of course, you know, to some style. Yeah, they're charging what they call a COVID service charge fee or what have you, you know, because of that, you know, you're going to get cancellations if they're sick and you don't want them in your chair if they're not well at all. Yeah, you know what, you're right. So this, I have to think post -COVID, you're right. This was, that was, but maybe before I should have felt that way, but now you're right. If they say they can't make it, maybe it's a good thing if they can't. I don't know. Keisha, do you experience that out on the West Coast here? You know, I guess every hairstylist and every service industry person might face this at some point. You know, now that I work with some older clients, some of them have different medical and issues it may, things do come up like last minute, even when they're on their way, they might need to go to the emergency room versus coming in my chair. So yeah, and these things have happened. So, and then having had some other things happen myself, I have had to consider things do happen at the last minute, but I'll have to consider from a business standpoint, but a business standpoint, we've taken this time out and I have to respect that. And when I'm off schedule, it throws your schedule off. And in turn, you know, now I'm throwing off your day. So I do understand from both standpoints, but I'm learning, you know, I have to learn to consider that anything can happen in the blink of an eye. And when I am wrong, you know, then I apologize and like, okay, yeah, I screwed up or, you know, something happened or a service went left, you know, things like that also happen when we're behind the

Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Morning, Jacob. Terence throwing you an invite. Good morning. You know, a while back, there was a video that got made with Tip and Z and the lyrics to that song got put on there, and it really helped because like for a while, you know, like when you listen to music, you kind of make up the words in your head if you don't know the exact, you know, lyrics. But once I read the lyrics to that song, and it's pretty interesting, if you know how to what the words are in that song and you're trying to talk to someone about Bitcoin, you literally can just recite that song to them, kind of. And it like totally flows like it makes you understand like Bitcoin in such a great way. I think if you like the lyrics in that song are very powerful, I guess is what I'm getting at. I have to agree. Morning, Peter. Good morning. All right, let's get rolling. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin. This is episode 432. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise, teach a whole bunch of people on this planet why there is hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. We're gonna be kind of riffing today, getting various different newsy stuff. Later, we have the co -founder of Angel Studios, also the co -founder of Harmon Brothers and the creator executive producer at Tuttle Twins, Daniel Harmon. It's going to be joining us. Really looking forward to that. For those you don't know, Angel Studios, Tuttle Twins is like a cartoon series, and they teach a lot of incredibly adult concepts. I suspect that the kids that watch these shows have a better grasp on economics than a lot of the adults that are wandering around out there. Just my opinion. Morning, Mickey. Good morning, Dombay. Good morning. Yeah, in sort of that economics vein, I still meet like fully grown adults that think the dollar is backed by gold. Yeah, yeah, all the time, right? And it hasn't been that way since like, what, 50 years now? Come on, Alex, 1971. We all know this. Oh, for, yeah, 52 years at this point. It's crazy. Morning, Dombay. What's up, man? What up, y 'all? Just getting off the work grind. How's everyone doing this morning? Doing good. You're just getting off duty. Yeah, I was on for three days straight, but, you know, it was forgiving three days. Right on, right on. Are you, I don't know if you know this or not, I was curious, are you working the Pacific Bitcoin Conference? No, sir. I took that whole week off and I will be just around. I will be like free at the conference, in the conference, out of the conference. I'm going to really soak this one in for sure. Nice. Glad to hear it. Good morning, Rizzo. How are you doing, man? Thanks for joining us. Yo, good to have you back, sir. Thanks, man. It's good to be back. Good to be back. We're getting settled in, getting unpacked, all that jazz. Love the love being on the East Coast. Love it. It's a complete life. Why you gotta trigger me? Why you gotta do that? What? Why you gotta trigger me? It's early here. I don't sleep anymore. Sorry, bro. It's interesting. Hang around your buddy's ankle, dude. He's getting surgery here in a couple of days. about He lost a quarter inch of it, of the bone right above the ankle. It's kind of just gone. I assume if he's your buddy, he's orange -filled. But if not, I mean, that's a lot of good time to read and catch up on Bitcoin. Oh, man, he's a tough cookie. He's really proud of his entry into bonds last summer. Yowzers. And I showed him the Nakamoto portfolio, and he was like looking at it. And he was like, wow, OK, yeah. But you know, I mean, you can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. I mean, when the horse is thirsty, it'll drink on its own. And everybody gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve. And I used to hate that saying, but it's just really true. And it's because everybody, you know, people will purchase Bitcoin at whatever price it is when they have a need or necessity for one or many of its properties. And I don't know, you know, what do you do? It's that funny effect where it's not like Bitcoin's a new thing, right? We're in year, what, 14 now? Almost, what would you guys say if you had to guess, what is the percentage of human beings that have at least heard of Bitcoin at this point? 50 percent? More? I don't know what the number is. Do you guys have a guess? It's got to be pretty high. I think the we are early folks, sir. I think we're getting out of the early stage personally.

First of all, you're listening to Cafe Bitcoin. Good morning and welcome. This is episode 431. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise, teach the other seven billion people on this planet why there's hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. Today, we're discussing US debt. There was a $500 ,000 on -chain transaction fee. We'll talk about that a little bit. Bitcoin Lots more news. Later, we're going to be doing some beginner Bitcoin beginner Q &A. So if you're new, you have questions you want to learn. You can ask a question, you can do it live and come up on the stage. We'll be kind to you. I promise there is no stupid questions, no such thing. We're all here to learn. No one's gonna make fun of you. If you want to ask questions in the telegram chat, you can do it in text. If you're shy, you don't want to come on the stage or for whatever reason, if you can't come on the stage, that's t .me forward slash cafe Bitcoin club, go check that out. We also post lots of stuff in there as well. Where do you guys want to start so much? Let's talk about this gigantic, ridiculous $500 ,000 transaction fee. So it is block number 807 ,058 if you guys want to go check it out. Um, modern not made a little post about this. He's like, so essentially the sat per V bite fee for this block was 8 ,182 ,079 sets per V bite. There's this big red overpaid by 479 ,000 times as necessary. Um, man, it's just mind blowing. My modern odd is saying his best guess is that it was created manually. Like somebody was pasting addresses and the amounts into some kind of wallet software. They meant to set a fee of 8 ,632 sats, but accidentally pasted an output into the fee box. Turning it into that is a really big number. Um, it's a really big number.
Veteran on the Move
A highlight from The CoverBag with Murp McCarthy
"Marine veteran Murph McCarthy is the creator of the cover bag the best protection for your dress hat or dress uniform cover Coming up next on veteran on the move Welcome to veteran on the move if you're a veteran in transition an entrepreneur wannabe or someone still stuck in that J -o -b trying to escape this podcast is dedicated to your success And now your host Joe Crain As a member owned not -for -profit Navy Federal puts members at the heart of every single thing they do Find out more at Navy federal org All right today we're talking with Marine Corps veteran Murph McCarthy owner of the cover bag calm and The women's rugby coach at the Naval Academy, that's pretty cool So Murph welcome to the show before we get to talking about business and entrepreneurship As a marine fellow aviator having had one of those on this show for a long time. Tell us what you did in the Marine Corps yes, so I Actually, I enlisted right out of high school and things went really well I was a tower air traffic controller and I ended up at the prep school for the Naval Academy and then graduated from the Naval Academy in 2000 then TBS and then went to down to Pensacola and When so helos went out to the FRS out there in Camp Pendleton quickly fell in love with it learned how to fly frogs Then I went to East Coast and I did two deployments on the East Coast And when I came back from that second one, there was a bunch of ospreys on the tarmac you know, I wasn't sure I wanted to get into that so I solicited my services back out to Camp Pendleton and then I ended up with the Purple Did foxes a couple deployments with them and then along the road. I got I got the the drone stink on me Stick with VMU doing drones and when it came time for me to get out of the cockpit I actually my services were sought by people other than myself To go do that again. So I went To VMU three and did a couple deployments With those guys then I came back to the Naval Academy where I was working in the Stockdale Center for ethical leadership and I was teaching leadership and that's when I started coaching rugby at the Academy in 2011 and then I had one last gig down at DITRA defense threat reduction agency where I was doing I was working on the open skies treaty which is a fascinating gig if you can get it, and I don't think you can get it anymore, but and then I retired in 2017 and You know, that was my Marine Corps story from the end of high school 92 to 2017 interesting so You know, sometimes transition is different. You're retiring because at least you got that paycheck of the month club membership, but Sometimes retirement isn't any easier than you know being in being in the military for four years and then getting out also So what was your transition like? Well, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I grew up You know, I was still like volunteering coaching rugby and that I Didn't see myself ever getting out of that because that was just a really fun thing for me to do It filled a lot of the you know, what you miss about the Marine Corps stuff for me But I started looking into a couple different business opportunities. I Started a business before I retired probably almost ten years before I retired and that was the cover bag and what ended up being the cover bag calm and that just grew and grew and grew to where You know, I could definitely take up a lot of time just working that when I retired But I'm I knew that was I wanted one more thing at least And that's when I started looking into other business opportunities and I got into fitness I a started franchise in Annapolis and did that I looked at a Number of other franchise opportunities, but I knew fitness was probably going to be what I wanted to do, right? So Was there an entrepreneurial bug inside of you the whole time? You're in the Marine Corps to just come about at a later time Totally. Yeah, like I've been into that kind of thing when I was since I was a kid So I remember getting in trouble for selling fireworks in the bathroom at my junior high school You know, I came up with ideas for stuff to put on ball caps Slinging t -shirts like that was always a thing but the cover bag was an idea I had when I went to the Naval Academy and You know, you're always wearing that combination cover like in the Marine Corps You're lucky especially if you're in aviation like you already ever even see that thing Yeah, buddy with the chicken you're trucking that thing all around all the time and it's white And you know, all you got to do is sit on it once or you know Be holding an ink pen that you probably should have retired a week before next to it And you gotta take the whole thing apart or buy new parts or buy a new one And I'm like man if I just had a bag for this thing, so it was like a couple years of me sketching out what it probably should look like and then designing it and then You know once you make the first couple and then you kind of go from there, but no I've always had that Hey, wouldn't this be a good idea Like I probably I probably do that like three times a week. Yeah, I've always been the same way but I think like especially when I was when you're a kid or when you're really young you have no idea how to Capitalize on your idea like yeah idea how to implement it or execute. I mean, you just don't have those capabilities and then especially nowadays with the internet and all the technology and everything and in Alibaba and China and all these resources that are available You can you could come up with a harebrained idea in just a few months be taking it to market Whereas like 20 30 years ago. It was like almost impossible to do to do. Yeah. No, and that's something you People should keep in mind. Like if you've got what you think is a crazy idea Just keep kind of fleshing it out and then you know for me it was a buddy of mine He's like, hey, I got a buddy who's got a hat and bag factory in Newark, New Jersey And why don't you send me that sketch you talked about? So I sent it to him and the guy produced a demo and And that was the first one like just like that dude. That's awesome.

So When I saw your interview come through Murph I gotta admit I'm like the cover bag and I went to your website and I saw it and I'm like ding I get it instant instant like yep thumbs up and Cuz my wife and I were Amazon sellers for many years. We're totally out of the business now. Amazon just got to be Amazon was like walking through a minefield you like you thinking you're fine all sudden kaboom your right leg's missing You're like what the fuck? anyways So we're out of Amazon now, but I loved Amazon cuz like we talked about earlier when you're when you're young You come all these hair brained ideas. That's a great idea for product That's a great idea and I could I could run them to ground and be and be putting it on Amma be putting a great product on Amazon, you know within a few months sometimes Sometimes that's not a good thing because if it turned out not to be a good idea you lose a lot of money At least I could exercise these ideas for the first time in my life. And so I have a true appreciation for a great product and I Remember, you know getting my uniforms at the Marine Corps shop or the marine the marine shop in there in Quantico And I think I still have that white shredded cardboard box with my white cover in it somewhere back in storage and and I The whole time I'm like, how am I supposed to carry this thing around? I mean for 20 plus years in the Marine Corps I carded that thing around in a cardboard box and somehow it managed to work out for him when I saw the cover bag I'm like, oh, yeah, like I get it that that's it. Like like how did how'd you just come up with that idea? It was just I mean I get it It's like it's like a problem every one of us dealt with but nobody ever thought of the idea or at least executed on the idea Yeah, well, I always thought we you know, they're expensive So all you gotta do is have to replace one and you're like man, how do I not do that again? Yeah, and that's where it started but when I had You know that run -in with my buddy's friend who said he could make me a demo I was like a demo sounds like it sounds like I'm in it But he he produced, you know The first cover bag from my sketch and I and all I had was like a little couple tweaks And he sent I ordered about 15 of them and I opened up the box of these 15 cover bags And I handed him out to the guys that were doing the color guard For the ball when we had the ball the next night and when the Marines were like, holy shit, sir This is awesome. Where'd you get these? I was like funny story like I invented that and they're like what and then I knew that I had something and that's Really? Yeah pulling my money together and like spending quality time thinking about how I was gonna do it Wow Yeah, I got like a thousand questions cuz and like I said, I'm a product guy Like I love cool products and the idea behind it. So interviewing somebody that created a product it became successful Because it was just the right idea and Let me tell you man. I don't know if you realize this bit. It is hard to find to Manufacture something in the US and it's great that this is a military product Which by the way, I want to point out like I know in the Navy Marine Corps. We call it a cover your uniform hat The other services. I'm sure the Air Force didn't call it a cover. They probably caught a hat I'm not I'm not sure about the army But you know, I want to point out a cut the cover is your official military head piece or your you know It's your military hat but in the Marine Corps Navy, we call it the cover So your product is called the cover bag But I suppose you you wouldn't have wanted to call it the hat bag because then it would have just been like anything No, and I you know how you always wondered like you watch a commercial Or hear like a radio ad you're like I'm confused but like three minutes later you're still talking about it I think some of that. Yes, I think some of that has happened with calling it the cover back You know because I thought that I was gonna be selling to guys like you and me Like I thought this was gonna be you know by the troops for the troops type thing Yeah, but I have a ton of customers that are moms and Grandmas wives like they don't know what a cover is So they're like I pick up the phone and somebody says cat bag 95 % of the time really and I just I just kind of roll with it because it's one of those You got all these old ladies buying it to you're talking about it. So let's keep that up It's like the the the Red Hat Ladies Club is buying your bag for their hats and stuff or fancy hat No, they're buying it for their husband's boyfriend's grandchildren The cover bag is a huge gift idea like I'll send I'll sell like six figures worth of these things through the Marine Corps exchanges in a year I sell a lot more than that to friends and families of people graduating Parris Island and MCRD San Diego. It's it's absolutely fascinating and Much in the same way as cover bags hat bags hat covers all that stuff My favorite is that you know, I don't pay anything for advertising like I tried it a couple times It was to me It was like wasting money because I couldn't figure out if it was doing anything at all But people will get on Facebook and argue about what should be Embroidered on the cover bag. No, it should be last name first name. No, it should just be the initials No It should be first name and then the middle name and then the last name and I'm like this is amazing because it'll go on And then the website goes ding ding ding Yeah, well I suppose you know first initial middle initial last name, you know, maybe rank before that might you know if you're selling them to all the eighth and I Marines if it becomes that if he becomes a Regular issue piece of gear. Well, then you gotta you gotta do by right? I think that's probably eventually gonna happen. Yeah Yeah, the Marines like solve a lot of your problems. They just make you do stuff The Marine Corps ever figures out. Hey, we don't want anybody walking around with a bad -looking cover again We're gonna put one of them cover bags in their c -bag issue. Yeah, that's it. That'll solve that. Yeah Yeah, well then they won't have to walk around with it in you in there with their bent arm and hand, you know So So what are some of your numbers that you can share with us or just to give us a perspective on? How successful the cover bags? Well, to be honest The company's not openly for sale, so I'm not really in tune exactly with the numbers But I've been trying to get in with the Navy exchange So the last gentleman that worked there He didn't really understand and like how the cover bag was an amazing piece of gear But they're starting to get the memo now and the main number I've been talking with them is like hey Do you know I I do over six figures worth of business with the MCX at the Navy exchanges of which there is many Many more. Can you imagine how good this would do if it was available? Yeah to the Navy first hand and then retail, you know I do I do a lot more business retail than I do goals for sale. So well, dude, that's awesome. This is good you're always gonna need to protect that cover and like I said the the parents and Girlfriends wives and grandparents are on Facebook talking about what needs to be on a cover bag and they're like, what's a cover bag? Cover and then there I am my website just gets the pinks. Yeah You know, it's like that the old the old Henry Ford story where he says Well, if I had asked the customer what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse, you know, or right There's a quote similar from Steve Jobs Like sometimes the customer doesn't really know what they're looking forward what they need until they see it You can have any color car you want as long as it's black the other Henry Ford one yeah, and The cover bags kind of like that because if you said what's one of the biggest, you know You know pain in the ass things you do you deal with with your uniform? Nobody would have said I wish I had something to carry my cover in but I mean hardly anybody would have said that but When they see when they see the cover bag, they're like, oh, yeah I want one of them because I that is a pain point for me I just never realized that there would be as ever solution for it yeah, no, it's it's a no -brainer and eat and like People that aren't, you know actively using the cover like the parents can figure out that a cover bags a great idea And the other thing is, you know, mom's don't want to be buying their kids, you know, whiskey flasks and knives Something Practical they're not gonna put alcohol in or possibly shank somebody with It works out pretty good to get him a cover back and embroidery everybody loves embroidery that Yeah Now it's got your name on it, oh, yeah The embroidery thing for the cover bag is when it really exploded Yeah, and there's a nice big surface area on the thing for plenty of embroidery you can Yeah It takes a while if you come up with a design and you want me to put it on there that takes a little more time a little more involved, but I got plenty of patch choices and You can put whatever name you want on there nicknames Like if people get too wrapped up in what name they want in there or what order I'll be like Does your does your son have a pretty cool nickname? They're like, oh, yeah, we call him Sparky.

"That did happen here And we're glad for it so tell us what really attracted you here in utilizing this program and getting the southeast michigan to move your life here and do your remote work in a place. That's probably a lot more beautiful. Yeah definitely will. Actually i had been thinking about moving to southwest michigan for the last couple years. We're just waiting for the right time and it was perfect. Timing when i found out about this program. Our kids were going through some major milestone sewer finally in a position to make a move like this So i applied for it. And i was thrilled that i was chosen to be part of it But we have been familiar with southwest michigan on being from the chicago area. We've taken advantage of day trips to the beaches You know we've always traveled through on camped in the parks with our kids over the years. We are friends with cottages around here so we already were somewhat familiar with the area I'm from the detroit area actually originally so. I've always driven through the area to see my family. So this was an opportunity to be closer to my family in detroit. My daughter goes to school in northern michigan. And we're still so close to our kids who are in the chicago area. So it's really like a great central location for us Another thing that Is just you know. It's like a refuge for us. You know coming from the city in all the time that we've come to michigan like crossing that welcomed a pure michigan sign like was dislike out relief. It was weight. Lifted off my shoulders and feeling you know the stress of the city behind in. We really just wanted that for our everyday lives so That was our dream and now it's like come true it's crazy we've been here two months now and every day my boyfriend gary and i look at each other. We'll just go to a grocery store. Everyone is so incredibly over the tab. Nice and we're like we can't believe her here. It's like you know it's as friendly and nice as we head drained of so But the process is the process. Itself was amazing. Kyle was great with checking in with me and with the crazy housing market. You know he was really flexible with our timing. Because i as. I said we had some kids going through graduations and then you know finding a house took a little bit longer than we thought But we had amazing guidance with chris. Smith r real estate broker with right properties. I say enough. Good things about our experience with him. He was patient. He was energetic. And you know offered a so much more information about the local area than just the real estate market so Yeah i mean we. It was crazy. We didn't we last a couple of houses but the one we ended up with is really the perfect one for us and We couldn't be more thrilled with the location. Were just like three houses away from lake michigan which is not something we could ever afford in the chicago area like..

"Put on cancer medicine and the blood test and the lymph nodes at shown cancer in their blood in their system and their lymph nodes The tumors were present. They went to wrote a wise house along with a priest. Friend sat in her chair and prayed and ask for a healing. They felt a tingling in their abdomen and when they went for the final checkup before the surgery to map out exactly where they were going to be cutting. the doctor. Said there's no there's no cancer here none of these cells cancerous and they redid the blood work and there was no cancer in their blood. And you know this happened a couple of months ago so it absolutely occurs And yeah it's it's baffling. When it happens is to me to the doctors. Everybody was quite quite surprised. I mean what what. What do the medical practitioner say about miracles. Are they believers. It depends on who you talk to. But i would say that. There's a good portion of them that have seen things they can't explain I've been asked to give a talk to the catholic medical association here in my city On the supernatural both the bad side and the good side So i would say a lot of them have seen things that they can't explain over the years. George i get you know kind of private off the record calls from institutions every now and then in this country state hospitals things like that who have said you know. We're seeing this stuff go on we. We would never officially say it. But can you give us some advice on how to deal with this. Either on the good side of the bad so i would say that privately On a human level a lot of them have seen things. They can't explain You know but the public version. Of course they they don't talk about it as much. And when most people as individuals you know pray to god or jesus how do they make that connection. Adam how do they make that connection that it then turns into something that works for them. Well boy that's that's a huge question. That's a good one george I would say that it depends on where you're at in your own journey with in your own kind of relation with god in your own spirituality. But i would say to learn to pray in a trusting way from the heart. And what i mean by that is we don't want to just say the words and think okay. Oh pray this rosary. And i'll just mutter the words and say them quickly and then i'm done and now god will do something prayer. More mature prayer is not about just recitation of words over and over you know and and jesus mentions this about Just a repetition. That prayer is relationship with god. It's a conversation with god. And i would say that would be the place to go is to just be talked to god like a friend you know i. I'm i'm here. I'm worried about my father. have these concerns. I'm worry about my mother. I have those concerns Please help me deal with this. You know would you please maybe intervene and do something special for me and do it in a trusting way as if talking with a friend That would be my advice..

Nineteen thousand nine hundred and nine hundred in fact one of the places that was hardest hit back then with india and one of the reasons why how many people actually died. The pandemic is that they didn't keep good records and they were burning bodies in the streets. Same way they're doing now so the pandemic isn't going away but we are absorbing it into humanity the way that we do all diseases eventually otherwise history And i think that the pandemic is settling down in. America certainly wouldn't have settled down regardless of a vaccine or not. Eventually you know. I look i. Don't tell people they shouldn't take the neither do i. It's not my business.

Have adhd and all kinds of pandas and pans. All these newfangled diseases a really have a lot of tapeworms and pin worms in their system.

And why is that because they are only acting within this operation. This operation been duped to Either they've been duped or they're just acting as mockingbird media to Help this what. I call the great ufo fear campaign. Why now why no are all why now. Oh it's because now is the period when it's a it's a great question That i would answer by looking at This guy was ondo. This guy lozano. He had a he of sense that he had the unidentified aerial the eight. Tenths was his program. Yes he says. It was his program However because he's never stood up ninety sort of questioning And no one has ever really interviewed him with any real questions. Except the funny media. no one has asked him. Well why did the program run from two thousand seven then to twenty twelve and then it just spurts. It was just all of a sudden. What was the reason for that. And what about the what was the. What's the tiny of like. Did the ufo problems. Stop in twenty twelve or the threat or the the greatest threat that you talk about all the time did that stop in twenty twelve. Well no one's ever asked him back because it's a common sense answer that it did not. The threat didn't stop your focus on what. Stop in my estimation for my investigation. What stuff was the period of testing for these top secret weapons. That was going on. Believed that the that this eight task force Dispersed at that time. Or there's actually a chance that the actually main never really have existed and that may be why they're there so much for There's so much discussion so much problems with answering these This calls for providing information about the temp And everyone's running around at the pentagon like chickens with their heads cut off and the reason. Maybe because it's something we were already told Because the real program that was going on at that time was something called. The advanced. Aerospace weapon system applications programme. Aws a key and this was his top secret. Weapons application program and the eight pit may only have x existed to provide cover cover. That's smokescreen exactly a smokescreen. Exactly and that's what it really starting to look like to me because every time we hear one of these crisis actors talking and they've been called a much smarter people than me have called these guys i was ondo and The other guy. Chris chris mellon yes chris christmas. They called them. This information Agents but. I don't i don't think that's what they are. I think they are simply crisis actors and now and they bear all the characteristics of crisis actors as well as far as i can see because they have all of these These characteristics of being overly dramatic self-righteous They engage deflections distraction and denial and they are and they're trying to they try to distance themselves from jobs at fallen apart while still asserting though the original.

"Any college can make you look good on paper at penn college. We're more into looking good on steel and looking good on rays with looking good in code building and rebuilding vision and revisions. And when it's all sudden done you'll look good to everyone because the past might be written on paper but the future will be made by hand learn more at p. c. t. dot edu. Now here's a highlight from coast to coast am on iheartradio and welcome back to coast to coast. George noory with you along with john desouza as we talk about disclosure if they're crisis actors and they're creating this cycle up on us. What what's their purpose. John what's their goal. Oh that's an excellent question george. Because their goal is the of their Their owners they're the people who are running this operation which is power money and control. Those are their goals. That is what they're working towards and That has always been circles. It is control of the of bufallo number one control. I'll take those in reverse order control of quality of the theme of ufo's and everything that has do surrounding ufo What it is And there's money involved. Also they are hoping to take over the technology that is that the white are trying to a disperse They're getting ready to disperse over humanity in a democratic fashion. They're trying to make free. They're trying to make it available to everyone Like like nicola tesla. However they're playing. The part of thomas edison where they want to grab this technology and they're hoping to grab this technology and corporate and they're hoping they'll be able to do that Through control of pick tax and these and all of these super weapon that are being operated By black black parts of the government black parts of these operations and also power they want to get ultimate power because they are trying to drive us towards her h e r d Hurt us towards something known that fake alien invasion the ultimate power. So they're they want us to believe that these are extraterrestrial though. They're not coming out and telling us that directly at this point bright. Oh no. they're not the only reason they're not They're not coming out and saying it directly is because they're using cia mind control phrases like This is proof that we may not be alone in the universe when you hear that that phrase has been tested and workshop in cia shop and that is the hallmark of their operation When whenever you hear that frame along with other phrases like Uap on unknown aerial phenomena or eight ap anomalous spooky were anomalous aerial phenomena. An unknown ariel threat right. They are not just they. Just don't want us to. They don't want us to just think that these things are extraterrestrial. They want us to think they're extra extraterrestrial and be very afraid. They don't want us to think they're nice and they're here to help us. They want us to think they're out to destroy us. Don't they exactly. That is their goal. That is what they are working towards. And it is what they're the key to what they're doing and how to gain their game Their goals in this whole thing. And the way that i know that is well one of the ways that i know that is because i see mockingbird media the mainstream media the legacy media cooperating with them and giving them a royal carpet every time they show up and treating them with forming affection Cnn fox news the other the other actors and mocking bird media They just they just love this campaign and they get facilitated every chance they get and They helped these crisis actors and they give them every red carpet treatment that they possibly can and When i started looking incident when i started looking into this. And i'm not i'm not just talking about the alumni of To the stars academy. I'm i'm talking about a lot more people as well They helped them. They acquired many people in will follow To to Eight campaign So there's we're talking about a lot of people Celebrities politicians We see now that the Senator senator rubio from florida's trying to get in on this. We have Senator reid harry. Reid was a part of this We had john podesta when he was alive. He was part of this as well. and And also He was a pedestrian when he was alive he was working with Tom delonge Some some sort of celebrity Music person times well link twenty two was his group. And so this is a wide ranging movement. This is a major psychological operation and You we see that's So many people are involved in as well as black parts of the pentagon. When i say black i mean unaccountable compartmentalized operations. That are so secret that even the people in the navy don't know what's going on. I mean you know you're you're an old military man george. Let me ask you a matter of ufo matter of your phone has since nineteen forty seven this roswell has been handled by what part of the military what part of the military handled. Ufo's like since forever and the hand is in the work area every year up in the air. Ninety nine percent of this phenomenon is in the air airforce. It's been the air for the united states. Air force has been handling. Ufo cases since nineteen forty seven. Seems they're kind of handing it over to the navy a little bit exactly and now and now as i've investigated this matter i have looked into these tiktok video. I'm soon george. You and i are going to sit down. And we're gonna forensically examined every one of these six sacks videos and i will show you how these things have nothing to do with anything extraterrestrial absolutely not. These are testing of secret weapons. That's what they are. That's why in two thousand four and two thousand four when they were getting ready to test the these things they need. Someplace secure someplace Someplace protected from surveillance someplace that was absolutely secure and so they decided do it in the bosom of the nimitz carrier group the largest most dangerous battalion group in the world. And that's what they did. That mimic was a part of that experiments. They were providing security for that they were not Suddenly surprised by a bunch of ufo's and had to check them out and so forth. You know a navy personnel. I'm sure does really believe that's what does believe that's what really happened. But if you look at it objectively and you look at it as an investigating a lotta things. Don't add up like the fact that the nimitz in two thousand four. When they came across all the tax off the coast of california san.

"Look at the chinese obsession with exotic metals Exotic materials like Graphing race right. Now that's been going on for at least twelve years between the united states and china behind in the shadows for capabilities to produce things like graphing carbon-fiber. Yes it's basically actually. It's very similar to the metal that they people say they see on the so-called uap's it's another reason why. I think it might might be a military program very super-secret either rs or there's There are things going on just beneath the surface between humans That that should be scaring everybody far more. So than if if it's little green men You know we're. We're do a report out around june twenty fifth. Which has i think been already leaked out to us. Yeah which does not include much about e. t.'s. It doesn't rule it out but it doesn't say it is and they don't say anything about tight technology who who it is or anything. It's almost like a powder. Puff report well so if you look at the methodology that that this investigation is going through. You're talking about decades of data that have been spread out at various levels across the opaque intel community and defense establishment at least seventeen seventeen intel agencies. You've got the entire pentagon and and who knows what other civilian agencies have been collecting data related to the uap issue. And we're supposed to believe that in one hundred eighty days since the passage of the cove relief bill where the original legislation was embedded. That would that was forcing this commission to kind of research and release what the pentagon had on on you a piece. We're supposed to believe that this team is going to get to the bottom of it. And i suspect that's not going to be the case. I suspect you're going to have a lot of supposition very little data Back verifiable data. I don i probably just as many questions posed as what will be answered and what is answered. We'll be your typical government on the one hand and on the other hand I and that's why. I think it's interesting the leaks. They've been very specific about these leaks right so the first week was it's likely not aliens. Second was it's not our technology So you know who knows what's going on here. Would they say that if it was our technology would hope so what helps me to you know. I say this as somebody who really wants the truth but also somebody who works. On the periphery at least as a subject matter expert and national security. And i understand the value secrets particularly in something like this. I don't want the chinese or the russians to know what we have really. And therefore i can't know fully because that means they would know So it is. It is an incredible. It really is now. Is there anything we should worry about any hostile action from these regardless of where they're coming from well. This was actually what the air force has having come out and talk to them about Last week it was basically you know what should we be looking at on our radar screens. Or how do we react. If suddenly we're presented with you know exotic technology belonging to a foreign adversaries we can't stop right and It was you know. I walked them through so they wanted to really know my take on beijing intentions and i kind of walked through and and and the old pentagon intelligence agency formula for a threat. Assessment is very simple algorithm its capabilities plus intentions eagles threat. Well.

"Fit. We have to look at what the overall picture is. What do what does the deep state want. And its power and the problem with. Ufo's if they are extraterrestrial. They present technology to disappeared ours. We cannot travel interstellar distances. We don't know how to do it. We can't really envision a way physically we can do it. There probably are something that can be done. That will figure out in the future. But we can't do it now and what we know is that anytime. A technologically superior civilization meets technologically inferior civilization that technologically severe inferior civilization ceases to exist not necessarily through conquest but the introduction of technology changes orders the society. And we have any number of examples of that happening here on earth and the with the deep state want is to retain power and by admitting that there's technology out there they are sure ending part of their power who is the deep state kevin. We're looking at the people. The bureaucrats in washington the bureaucrats and all countries the people who are not in elective office the people who are in those high positions that that and maintain those positions from administration to administration. They're controlling what's going on because they're gonna be there long after president biden has gone. They've been there long after the people who originally put him into those pictures positions have been Turned out of office. So it's we're looking at the bureaucratic levels at the very top levels of the government. Those those are part of the members of the deep state. How long have you afo investigations on a government level. Been going back even beyond project. Blue book was earning before that book started. Blue book was a name. Change from project grudge which was a name. Change from project sign project sign was the first investigation that began officially in january of nineteen forty eight after the kenneth arnold sighting and the summer of ufo's in nineteen forty seven. There is information that a fella named howard mccoy curl howard mccoy material command in nineteen forty seven was asked by general twining to create an unofficial investigation of these phenomena. Howard mcquaid goes back to the foo fighters of the second world war openings. What's the fighters. Were these objects that we're seeing Harassing following real small things or weren't they small very tiny narrow if if you and keep chester. You'll probably appreciate this. He did a book called strange company and he laid this out. I was of the same impression but there are a lot of stories of disc shaped objects larger than balls of light following the the aircraft That sort of thing going on there. Are those smaller things as you mentioned But when the war ended there was an investigation going on at the highest levels of the allied command. Trying to figure out if this was some kind of new weapon of the of the a axis powers when the war ended of course that primary and ended his well. Nobody cared with these things. Were we find out. It wasn't part of the axis they were encountering the same thing. He was part of the allied power structure. But howard mccoy was involved in the investigation. We then had the flu The ghost rockets in sweden in nineteen forty six with a similar type thing howard was involved in that and then we get into nineteen forty seven reports coming up through the military chain of command about our guys seeing these things. So mccoy was required. A requested to make a Unofficial investigation of these late nineteen forty-six and of course..

"He deployed to iraq as an intelligence officer serving and active duty with the army. And later the air force he was a member of the national guard on his deployment into the middle east. He retired from the national guard. In two thousand nine kevin's interest in yo foes began as a teenager when he investigated a citing while libanan colorado. His big question then was if the object had been sharply defined or had been a ball of light. What does that mean. In from that point on he is investigated hundreds of sightings around the country including nearly three decades of researching the events in roswell. His new book is called your foes in the deep state. And i couldn't think of a better time for this book to come out kevin. It fits right in with what's going on in the country and the world with the deep state actually controlling so much of our lives now and we just kind of sitting there and saying okay Well what are the mass like. You tell us well. We're we're to mass well. We won't wear any mass. It's absolutely correct. It's just a perfect timing. And had i written it this year. There would i. Would i would have mentioned that if you look at the cabinet that the presidency biden his body and brought in. What we see is the same people who were there. In the obama administration and the clinton administration the same people moving around in the upper levels of this controlling everything that we do. When did you start writing this book. I started at Two years ago. I interviewed a fellow named i. And i'm sure you know who it is. Teri loveless oh. Yeah absolutely and he was talking about how the air force high had conducted an investigation into his ufo citing abduction saying that They had used chemical regression and hypnotic regression in their interrogation. And i wanna do a book called. Ufo's and the always. I am the deep state and the publisher said. Well maybe you ought to look at the deep state a little bit more heavily than that so that kind of inspired it So that we would have an idea of what was going on. And i learned an awful lot more about what the deep state is doing and how it is manipulating the situation and how it filters down into ufo. You'd think that the deep state wouldn't be concerned about ufo's but of course they are. Are they involved in this report. We've just been talking about where the cly pooh-poohing the idea of extra terrestrial denied it but they're not admitting it..

"She came down and she told the entire class. Last night i dreamt i was a pufferfish and we. We all know a puffer. Fish is the kind of fish that gets bigger puffs up to protect itself to defend itself gets really small again when it's done. And so so. She understood from that dream dream symbol that that she couldn't lose weight because she was all puffed up to defend herself and until she got over that feeling of need to be defensive as she would never be able to lose weight. He's dreaming part of the brain or is it outside of the brain. It's definitely part of the brain but is it the conscious mind or unconscious. Mind are an integration of the two. I think it's really an integration of the two interesting. I mean with pre cognitive dreams. My daughter had one about nine eleven. We didn't know what it was but it was definitely that episode because she saw ashes and dust falling from buildings while she was walking and she said her boots were up to six inches and like snow dust in but what creates the pre cognitive dream. Which is pretty darn accurate right. I i know so. Many people had nine one one dreams in advance of nine one one including myself. And i think i think that that's when you get into a larger framework of either a collective unconscious or a universal mind or something like that because some of these experiences are just too hard to explain without positing on high like that..

"Friend. Hope all is well. Oh great thank you so much for having me looking forward to this and how the bookstore lucid dreaming you know. They continue on selling very well or getting translated into many languages. French german chinese so they just keep going around the world for you. Take us back to nineteen seventy five. What happened to you to begin to study lucid dreaming right so so that year. I was a junior in high school and i happened to be reading a book by carlos. Castenada called journey to excellent and custom. Nato was a ucla graduate student and anthropology. Who wanted to the psychotropic plants. Like peyote and things like that. And he found this chamonix teacher don juan and in this book his chamonix teacher suggest to him that he finds his hands in the dream state and realize he's dreaming and and there really wasn't a technique and so i created my own little technique to find my hands in the dream and within three nights of trying that technique. My hands popped right in front of my face as walking through my high school hallway. And i realized. Oh my gosh. This is a dream. So that's how that's what got me going in this World of lucid dreaming. It's interesting you say that. Because years ago when i was having many different kinds of dreams myself i always wondered where my body parts and you know and i and i kept saying to myself. Are you just like you're in there like remote viewing where you're just. Your consciousness is floating around in the stream. Or you're just can't see yourself you know in in in real life your hands are waving your feet or waving. You can see everything in a dream. You're right you.

"It. And some even said we could do it as early as nineteen sixty seven if we had the proper funding in the proper backing Perhaps it hadn't been for the fire. Things would work better. Maybe we could have flown. You gotta remember. The lunar lander was the problem. That was really hard spacecraft for them to build and it was not until nineteen sixty nine. That was ready so losing the two years after the fire really didn't hurt as far as the time on what's concerned. We were actually pretty fortunate. Weren't we on. Our moon missions. Very fortunate we had the disaster with apollo thirteen. But thank god everybody was ok right and it showed you how good those machines work polish. Thirteen's a perfect example. Those machines performed Out off for the in better than they were ever. My god i mean half the side of the spacecraft was blown off in. It's still and got them back. And after he left the command module froze up for three or four days. They you know they fired it right back up so that that's the point with apollo wi without that far you wouldn't have got that type of spacecraft is it was that good It's a tragic. We had to lose three guys like that. Three great guys all american hero absolutely absolute. You know what they would have told us that if they were alive they what they did say at the time was if we die keep the program. We're test pilots. This is what we do is our business. That's what roger chaffee. This is our business. They know that that could be the end result for them. Yeah they knew that every single time not only they got an spacecraft when they were military test pilots. They knew every single time. They got into a plane to test that plane. It could be the last time they got in one. Was there a commission set up after the fire. Yeah nasa actually set up their own internal investigation a lot of people who probably say well. They're investigating themselves. This oughta go well and of course Jim webb an administrative nasa met with lyndon johnson and the residents of the white house and asked to do that and of course he was concerned about some kind of an independent commission It turned into some kind of media circus and it being sort of ending.

"Archaeology stephen. Welcome back how are you george. I don't good looking forward to this. Everything fine family. Good yeah we got through the pandemic pretty well. No problems very glad that that's true. Well absolutely let's talk about a lot of things with you tonight but tell me consciousness. How did you get involved in this aspect. Well i had a series of experiences. And then i had a series of very strange coincidences which introduced me to the edgar. Casey material and i started reading them and eventually read all the readings and that got me to read science and not read everything that had ever been published in science journal about consciousness and also many books and sixty eight i started. Experimenting is consciousness part of the brain or outside of the brain. There is an aspect of consciousness that is not physiologically based that the issue is the continuity of consciousness that is does consciousness exist prior to incarnation during your life. Continue after your after your death after physical death and the evidence i think is overwhelming that that is true. If it is true that tells you a lot about the ability to use it and how it works. Yes i think once you begin to recognize the idea that all consciousness is interlinked and interdependent. And that's where science is headed in the most interesting thing going on right now in both science and in the popular culture is about fifteen shows on you know net flicks lose stars showtime deal with the issue of consciousness and at the same time it's happening in the popular culture. Also there are a number of set of societies scientific societies which are starting up because researchers increasingly however they may start in their point of view eventually confronting reality of consciousness in their research. And that's changing the nature of science. Can we use our own consciousness to tap into something and use it for our own abilities and good things. Yes in fact if you think about it. Every religion starts with a single individual having consciousness nonlocal consciousness experience. You.
