Pinole Councilwoman and Mayor, Norma Martinez-Rubin, Describes Governing a Small City
"Hi, I'm Jared Ash with the Capstone Conversation. I'm here with Councilwoman Norma Martinez -Rubin from the city of Pinole in Contra Costa County. We appreciate you being here today. As part of your everyday job, you're a principal at Evaluation Focus Consulting, where you focus helping mission -driven foundations, nonprofits, and government agencies and public health. So that's an exciting background to be here. What else can you tell us about yourself, Norma? Thanks, Jared. Thanks for having me be part of this. I can tell you that my adopted hometown of Pinole is this wonderful little city, relatively small compared to the other 19 cities in Contra Costa County. It's bisected by I -80, which has national fame. And for those of us who are local, it is both a blessing and whatever the opposite of that is, given the multitude of vehicles for many different reasons, recreation, transportation, transport of goods, etc., on a daily basis that we get to live with. Part of my personal history is having come to the city of Pinole via Los Angeles, where I grew up, it was weird, and having the experience of living in a more urban area relative to one which has these beautiful natural amenities just within a walking distance of where I live. We're surrounded by hillsides, we're surrounded by or adjacent to the San Pablo Bay, which in my mind counters the effects of an interstate that bisects the city and divides the city, and the way our residents view issues that come before us on city council. Interesting. Let's talk a little bit about that small town, but in a big metro area. From a governing standpoint, what would you say are some of the constraints and some of the advantages compared to other towns being a smaller city? As a smaller city, we're a full -service city, so we provide and we respond, we're responsive to provide services that are essential as the local governments grow. We have our own police department, we have parks and regulations, we address land use issues, keeping in mind the topography of Pinole, and most recently we have joined with our county's fire districts to serve our city in its small size. We have a different terrain, the north side or the south side part of Pinole adjacent to San Pablo Bay is the older part of town. We were incorporated in 1903, but as history goes, in the 1950s when I -80 was constructed, it divided the city and then we started seeing more of the tract homes built on what was formerly agricultural land. So in the Pinole Valley, which is south of I -80 in our town, we have people who are surrounded by hillsides, beautiful hillsides, but as valleys go, also face the risk of possible fires because many of the homes were built alongside that range for just open space. So the constraints in a small city is that urban planning back in the day when some of the older cities in Contra Costa County were designed and built may not have considered the growth that would occur over time and the needs that people had over time given the shift in demography or population figures. In my background as a public health practitioner, population shifts are something that we've observed and have been somewhat ready for. However, we also have a history in local government and more broadly state and federal that the response to these population shifts isn't always as quickly as we see the shifts occur.

"The older generation is somewhat corrupt. They look at governments askew. Another thing I didn't know. I didn't really understand that until until I spent some time there. But it's a war on two fronts. It's the military war as I say and they're also trying keep to the democratic and market institutions not only alive but developing as best they can. And so of course the aid that we're sending has to do both. You know there are a great number of people in this country who don't want to send aid to the Ukrainian government. What would you say after being there and seeing with your own eyes what's going on on the ground in Ukraine to those folks here in the US who are telling their representatives and some representatives are indeed very vocal about it. Especially on republican the side that they do not want to send aid to Ukraine. What's your message to them? My message very respectfully would be where do you want to send aid. Ukraine, Poland, Berlin, Paris. It's that simple I think and the small amount of money relative to our overall military budget that we have spent in Ukraine, it's about 5%. That has degraded the Russian military capacity in a way that I didn't think I would see in my lifetime honestly. They were previously say five days away from a serious attack on NATO. They must be five years away now, given the damage we've done to them. So what do you want for 5 % of your military budget? More trucks, more uniforms. I would suggest that killing bad guys for pennies on the dollar is a probably good ROI. Hear the full conversation on the latest edition of the Bloomberg Business Week podcast.

How Pleasant Hill Plans to Boost Economic Activity With Councilwoman Sue Noack
"Development is always a question I ask, what is Pleasant Hill doing to attract new business as to the city? Whether a it's new restaurant, a storefront location or an employment center, what are some of the things that Pleasant Hill is doing to attract those customers? So really what we're focused on right now is bringing back the businesses from COVID, right? And we lost some businesses in that and some were struggling, and so we want to bring that back. So there are two things that we're doing with some of our IRPA funds. And one of them is this Pleasant Hill perks card concept, right? So if you buy a Pleasant Hill perks card for 100 bucks, the city gives you 50 out of our IRPA funds. And so you can only spend it on those organizations or entities within Pleasant Hill. So that's trying to bring money into our businesses that survive COVID and that still exist. The other thing we did is we use some of the IRPA money to provide grants to businesses that may have not had as much of an online presence as was so helpful during COVID. So we have a grant program so business can apply for grants to get assistance dollar wise and also connections to other entities to provide them with that assistance to make their online presence better. So those are two things. The other thing that we focus on is making our city vibrant so people want to move into our city, right? And that's keeping the roads nice. We have free parking. We don't have meters anywhere in our city at all. And that's a big deal. A lot of people like to come to a city where they don't have to worry about paying for parking. And so we get a lot of people from outside Pleasant Hill coming into Pleasant Hill. So those are some of the things we're doing that are more soft items, making the city just more pleasant. Downtown is being redone. Some of the owners of downtown are redoing a plaza to make it more friendly for people to come and take food and sit outside and relax and chat with people. So there's work being done there as well. So I think there's a lot of good work being done. We're never going to be a super big retail site. We're just not big enough. We have some on the edges, right? So the Coles Crossing area is a good shopping area and then up by Target and Safeway. Those are Pleasant Hill. The Sun Valley Mall is not, but further west of that is Pleasant Hill again. So those areas we want to make sure traffic can flow. That's tricky up there. We're 680 and Contra Costa Boulevard are, but trying to make those entities vibrant as well as making sure people can access them easily and get there. So those are our bigger retail areas. So, and we have an economic development person who spends a lot of time talking to businesses that might have an interest in coming into Pleasant Hill. And I think as everybody is facing, there's a change in how people buy things these days, right? Whether they go online or whether they go to the store. And so we have to look at those changes and see what services still require bricks and mortar. And that's what we need to attract.

Councilwoman Chris Kelley Has Big Plans for the City of Hercules
"Tell me within your city, you have something pretty exciting going on that you've been working your whole tenure on and will continue to be a focus of the cities for the next 10 years. Can you talk to us about the Hercules transportation hub and what's going on there? Yeah, so the Hercules hub is located. It's an area of our city down by the waterfront many years ago, 50, 60 years ago. That's where the dynamite factory was. And about 20 years ago, some housing, single family housing was built. But the city also has had a plan to bring in multifamily housing, which we're doing now with a Canadian developer led core and to develop our Hercules hub, which is walkable with bus train, the capital corridor stopping and hopefully the ferry. So three modes of transportation located next to multifamily housing, up to 1400 units, and then some other single family home neighborhoods in the area. So that's pretty exciting. And right now we are in the process of trying to get enough funding, about 12 million dollars total, to finish our complete design. We've been through all the environmental review and so forth, but we've got the backing of the capital corridor and we've just gotten two point four million from a transit intercity rail grant from the state of California. And we've got an application in for a federal grant. So if we can get that 12 million, then we can completely finish the design and we will be what's called shovel ready, which means when that happens, we can go out and construct and to build the train station will probably take about 100 million total, depending on when we do that. And once we build the train stop, then we will have access to the other side of the railroad tracks, which run right along the bayfront. And then we would hopefully get the ferry because we could have access out there and access out to the Hercules Point where the ferry could come in. We've already got bus service here now, so I'm just going around and making people aware of and getting folks interested in the Hercules hub. And we've had a number of officials from MTC, from WETA, the ferry, from a whole bunch of housing people. And when they come here, they say, oh, my gosh, I never knew that this existed. This is gorgeous. This is beautiful. You folks are actually building housing and with transportation. A lot of people talk about it, but we're actually going to do it. So I'm really excited about this. And that's great. And you sent me a good video earlier today about that, and we will put that in the show notes. It's a short video. It gives you some good images of what they're doing there. So I'll encourage listeners to go check that out. So I love it. Do you have water, land, rail in the plans? But you're one hundred million dollars short after you get the twelve million. Right. So that's a big round number. How do you get to that? First, we get the money for design. And then when we do that and we start to go through design and become shovel ready, then our consultants will help us go after actual grants for construction. And there are a number of grants that they have identified, federal grants, some state grants. And of course, the city will also supply some money for that. So it's just kind of piecing everything together. I've spoken with our congressperson, John Garamendi, also with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, Congressman Mike Thompson, Assembly member Buffy Wicks, state senator Nancy Skinner. They're all on board and they're very helpful for us, as is Contra Costa Transportation Authority. They've already given us some money for this. And I have to say that several officials from MTC have come out and they're very excited and supported. So it's just a matter of working on that. But once we're shovel ready, then that will be a huge move forward.

The ultimate goal of Fox and CNN and MSNBC is to create chaos and anger because the everyday person in the United States has more in common than they want us to. Oh, for sure. U .S. SEC not coming out to Cardano. Charles Hoskinson whips it out online, explaining the SEC's continuous crackdown on crypto entities is political and has nothing to do with securities laws. Chuckie Ho Ho, founder of Cardano, believes the United States Securities Exchange Commission will not come after the project's native token, ADA. Interesting. He didn't say not him, but not ADA. OK, that's fine. During a recent YouTube interview on Corey Costa's crypto coins, shout out Corey Costa, a friend of ATB, Hosky pointed out that there has been no enforcement action against ADA so far. Hasn't there been a couple things where people delisted Cardano? Yeah, a lot of exchanges have delisted in anticipation that something happens, but nothing like there's like misinformation out there. I've actually talked to people who think that right now Cardano is in a lawsuit with the SEC and that is not true. Same. Same. Before we continue with the story, hit that like button. Drew, where are we at for likes, bro? Pull that mic down. Let the people hear your smooth dulcet tones. We got two hundred and eighty eight likes. Need to pump those numbers up. These are. How do I say this nicely? These are Mike Pence at the debate last night. Numbers. We need to bump these numbers up, folks. OK, prove that you are not a Fed and hit that like button. Subscribe to this channel. Leave a comment. Get active in chat, bro. Drew, give me a poll. Who won the debate last night? Poll the audience. Let's get it going. Krit Kratts, Nick Tator hosting very bullish for crypto. Heck yeah, baby. Let's keep on going. SEC is not coming after Ada in two recent lawsuits against the world's leading crypto exchanges. Coinbase and Binance. The SEC classified roughly twelve tokens, including Cardano and a bunch of other ones. Philcon. Yep, Philcon. Oh, Philcon. That's how you say it. Insisting they ought to be registered. Insisting. We're like stamping foot. Should be registered before being listed on exchanges. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Harry's Razor's number one customer once disclosed that the agency had asked the exchange to delist all tokens except Bitcoin as they qualified securities. Isn't it weird that like last week. The CFTC said Bitcoin and Ethereum were both commodities. Yeah, I mean, what's what's the Gary wants control, Nick, but it's over, right? Like no one can serious. No one can take the SEC seriously if another agency says the thing that the SEC says is security is a commodity. I mean, I don't know if anyone has been taking the SEC seriously for a minute now, but we know Gary tries to fight with every weapon he has. And unfortunately, he still has a lot of weapons. They don't work very well, but he still uses them. Yeah, and it's the delay tactic. He wants to delay everything he can. Yeah, yeah. So someone said watching Nick is painful. Well, look. Pain and suffering makes you a better human being, OK? Reject comfort. Watch this stream while I host. All right. Who won the debate last night? Vivek Pence, DeSantis, Trump. I would have put Nikki in there instead of Pence because Pence was just like a buffoon. Anyways, SEC's move is political. Yeah, we know this. Cardano Boss said the one political party in the U .S. which received a lot of money from S .F .F. is trying to show that they are not corrupt. Hence, they have moved from being bipartisan and working with other parties to create crypto rules, to accusing everyone of being a bad actor in time to throw them behind bars. I'll disagree with Hosky here saying there really is only one party in the United States. OK, it's a uni -party system. There is no true opposition. OK, I would say that the Republicans and Fox News are controlled opposition. It's it's the two two wings on the same bird at this point. Would you agree or am I am I being a little too? Oh, no, it's it's extremely obvious the same people own both sides. And I've I've said this before. We've talked about this on Investing Bros that people don't need like I see too many people who are like, oh, if Fox says it, it must be true. And Fox is just a different kind of evil than CNN, but they're owned by the same people. The goal ultimate of Fox and CNN and MSNBC is to create chaos and anger because the everyday person in the United States has more in common than they want us to for sure. 100 percent. They want us to think that if you don't agree, if you're not a Republican, you are the evilest person in the world. If you're not a Democrat or Democrats, you're the evilest person in the world. And they make money by sowing this disunity. Yeah.

I could just say steak and then we run the mid -roll and then we're in. We're done. Plus one in the chat, if you want me to end the show right now. Actually, there's a lot of Nictator love going on in the chat. No, we don't ask chat for that kind of power anymore. Sometimes they tell us what we don't want to hear. Well, no, I wouldn't give them the illusion of being able to vote. Just like the elections in the United States. Let's move on. Looking at BitBoy Crypto, we've got 1 .45 million subscribers. We've got videos on Matic. This one's really great. Everything you need to know about Matic. We've got Ben coin to one penny. Big update. XRP domination. This video is probably one of the best ones we've done in a long time. 52 ,000 views. Go ahead and check out our content. We make good content, folks. We do. Okay, we've got a negative one from Nate Wick. Appreciate the vote of confidence. You can simp for me on Twitter at Nick DeMundi. I've got there are flames coming out of my mouth at all times. So just be prepared. I'd say it's 30 % crypto content, another 40 % trolling, and 10 % just sus. Look at that outfit. Yeah, this is my Tyler Durden outfit. So, okay, you want to know the story of this jacket? I think I've told this before on ATB. You have 20 seconds. Do you know where I am? Where? Okay, I am at a Christmas wrap party for Stranger Things season 3. This is actually one of the costumers just seconds that they had spare from the costumes for Stranger Things and I wore it and I was about seven Miller Highlifes in. That's my eighth Miller Highlife in my hand right there. And I'm having a good time. Yes, I worked on Stranger Things. My wife and I worked on Stranger Things several seasons. Great times. Love those people. Cool story. Yeah. Let's get into the market watch. Let's get into the market watch. Tim, I like it. It's passive -aggressive. It's a little snide. I like it because it pisses me off. Let's get into it. It fuels you. Coin market cap, Bitcoin 26 ,059 doll hairs. Hang on. Get this crap off. No one cares about the fear and greed index. Hey, everyone's afraid so guess what you should do? When the fear and greed index is red, you should probably consider buying. Remember, everything I say is financial advice. Is it good or bad? That's up for you to decide. Let's see. 662 exchanges. Volume is in the toilet. Okay, like this is, we've had rancid Taco Bell bowel movements level of volume. It's so low and so heavy it cannot get possibly any lower. Ethereum gas is 36 quay. I don't do the math like Ben does because I'm not good at math. I was a communications manager. Okay, like I need a calculator to do anything other than addition and subtraction on fingers. So yeah, fear and greed at 35 out of a hundred. That's great. Buy the red. Sell the green. Ethereum is at 1 ,645. Let's see. XRP scam coin at 51 cents. I'm just kidding. I hold XRP. It's going to pump. It's gonna make people money. Everyone calm down. Cardano at 26 cents. That's quite a steal and we're gonna talk a lot about Cardano coming up. Okay, what's your, you had, you have some history with XRP at 51 cents, don't you, Tim? I mean, to be fair, my history was actually at 55 cents. It was a little bullish, but I do want to say we're gonna continue on with the show. Negative five points for the dictator for using the forbidden coin market cap. Oh, is that another thing? That's forbidden on this show. So we're gonna have to keep moving on. Should we use lunar crush? But yeah, no, XRP for sure. 55 cents got turned into resistance rather than use of force. We're fixing it on the fly here. There we go. There we go. Alright, you can have your five points back. Is it? So much worse. Listen, this is the new show. Chat. CoinGecko. Chat, tell us what to use. Tell us what to use. Tron is at seven cents. Guaranteed short. If you want to absolutely be guaranteed to find successful shorts, Tron and EOS are your coins. Just look and see what the market's doing and Tron and EOS will probably do the opposite. Dai, hey guys, stablecoins are still at a dollar, which is unfortunately an important headline that we must keep track of. Mm -hmm. Litecoin coming in as a $65 stablecoin. Let's see, Avalanche for under $12 is an amazing scoop. I know Ben doesn't like Avalanche, but look, it's the corporate coin. It is what it is. Stellar at 12 cents. Love Stellar. Chainlink at $6 .17. I think Deezy is actually gonna buy McDonald's Happy Meals worth of Chainlink today. Let's see. What are their movers? Oh, we got to do the 24 hour, right? Can we do that on Lunar Crush? Oh my gosh. This doesn't seem very germane to the conversation. Shout out to all the fantasy gold holders with a 90 ,000 % pump over the last 24 hours. My God. Do you know anyone who holds fantasy gold? No. It has a $157 million market cap. Hey, that's pretty big for them. 24 hour volume is $12. Okay. Or 12 million. Alright, let's, we have to go back to CoinMarketCap. That's the only way I can do this. Oh my goodness. We need the 24 hour price. These, I'm giving the squad what they want. BoneSwap, no jokes, up 16%. Didix, up 5%. Basically nothing. Render under $2. Great, great pick. Maker, Aave, Solana. Let's see. Go down. Let's see who's a loser. Thorchain, Monero. Perennial Loser, Curve. Chainlink. Deezy's Apecoin is still down. Deezy's Apecoin. Oh my gosh. Look at this chart. It's been a rough, good, googly moogly, rough couple months for Deezy. Wow. I would say the fundamentals are not bullish on Apecoin at this point. Hang on. Let me sip this. This coffee brought to you by Trezor. Oh, camera's struggling. Lavazza coffee is what I'm drinking today. Top tier coffee. All the nutrients you need to trade on the fly. It's kind of a new show today. We're going to get into continued market watch, but in the other side of the market that we rarely ever cover on this channel. Mining. Look at this. We're going to cover some mining today. They can't stop me. What are they going to do? Turn the stream off? Let's see. Mining. All of crypto, all of your gains brought to you by mining, because if there was no mining of Bitcoin, there would be no crypto. Let's see. Bitcoin is up 79 % today. BitNet money is up 26 % today. China is up 15 % today. We covered this a little bit on Blockchain Basement last night. Verus coin, very interesting coin, up 6 .3%. This is mineable on a cell phone, on a GPU, on a CPU. It is actually throttled, so there cannot be ASICs that mine Verus coin. It's positioned itself as like a currency coin that is very, very spread out, much like Cardano, as far as decentralization goes, but it's like Cardano proof of stake, but proof of work, and you do it on a phone. It's actually optimized for ARM processors and GPU processors, so very interesting coin. You can mine it on any phone, any tablet, any GPU, any CPU, and actually make quite a bit. Let's see. The gainers for today. Rethereum. This is an interesting project because it's Ethereum as it is now with all of its upgrades, but still proof of work. Okay. They relaunched the Ethereum chain. It's not Ethereum Classic. It's not ETH POW. It's Ethereum with all the upgrades minus proof of stake. Interesting project. I'm looking into it. It's the reward gainers. That means the hash rate has gone down, but the profit of the revenue that you're getting has gone up, so you're able to get 49 % more Rethereum than you were just a couple of days ago. Octaspace. This is actually... I don't know if I should... If you're subscribed to Crucial Crypto, you're gonna know about Octaspace. That's all I can say about that. Kadena. Don't sleep on Kadena. Do you know why no one should sleep on Kadena? Why shouldn't they sleep on it? Because it was made by JP Morgan. Oh, okay. Do not sleep on anything that the banks have a hand in. Kadena is one of those things. Casper. Rewards have gone up 5%, which is probably because a bunch of people sold. All right, what's next? We do merch? Oh yeah. Hey. We haven't done merch in a minute. We sell merch. There's Mirel. This is very intimidating. The rings. There's TJ. Let's go back. If this is a D &D class, what would it be? If Mirel was a D &D class, what would he be? Chat, give us your input on who you think Mirel's D &D class is, given this getup. Let me know. I've been neglecting Chat. Are there any good questions for Chat right now? I don't think yet. No, I mean, a lot of people saying how much they love the dictator and loved him. No, you're lying. No, they, I mean, there were, I mean, there was a mixed bag, but they definitely said they loved it. All right, all right. I believe you now. Hot on the block. We do have some really cool merch. Read the positives. Read the positives. Yeah. Okay, there's your merch. Should we move on? Should we do Ada versus the SEC? Okay, this is a really cool story. So, US SEC not coming after Cardano, Charles Hoskinson whips it out online, explaining the SEC's continuous crackdown on crypto entities is political and has nothing to do with securities laws. Chuckie Ho -Ho, founder of Cardano, believes the United States Securities Exchange Commission will not come after the project's native token, Ada. Interesting. He didn't say not him, but not Ada. Okay, that's fine. During a recent YouTube interview on Corey Costa's crypto coins, shout out Corey Costa, friend of ATB. Hosky pointed out that there has been no enforcement action against Ada so far. Hasn't there been a couple things where people have delisted Cardano? Yeah, a lot of exchanges have delisted in anticipation that something happens, but nothing, like, there's like misinformation out there. I've actually talked to people who think that right now Cardano's in a lawsuit with the SEC and that is not true. Same, same. Before we continue with the story, hit that like button.

Heck yeah, baby. Let's keep on going. SEC is not coming after Ada in two recent lawsuits against the world's leading crypto exchanges, Coinbase and Binance. The SEC classified roughly 12 tokens, including Cardano and a bunch of other ones. PhilCon. PhilCon. That's how you say it. Insisting they ought to be registered. Insisting. More like stamping foot. Should be registered before being listed on exchanges. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Harry's Razor's number one customer once disclosed that the agency had asked the exchange to delist all tokens except Bitcoin as they qualified as securities. Isn't it weird that like last week the CFTC said Bitcoin and Ethereum were both commodities? Yeah. I mean, what's what's the Gary wants control, Nick, but this it's over, right? Like no one can serious. No one can take the SEC seriously if another agency says the thing that the SEC says is security is a commodity. I mean, I don't know if anyone has been taking the SEC seriously for a minute now, but we know Gary tries to fight with every weapon he has. And unfortunately, he still has a lot of weapons that don't work very well, but he still uses them. Yeah. And it's the delay tactic. He wants to delay everything he can. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Someone said watching Nick is painful. Well, look, pain and suffering makes you a better human being. Okay. Reject comfort. Watch this stream while I host. All right. Who won the debate last night? Vivek Pence, DeSantis, Trump. I would have put Nikki in there instead of Pence because Pence was just like a buffoon. Anyways, SEC's move is political. Yeah. We know this.
The Breakdown
A highlight from Why A Pro-Bitcoin, Anti-Central Bank Economist Just Won Argentinas Presidential Primary
"Alex Krueger, who I frequently quote, who is himself from Argentina, said, Mille is neither good nor bad. He is different. And for Argentina, different means good. Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Tuesday, August 15th, and today we are talking about the Argentinian presidential candidate who is a pro bitcoin candidate. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review. Or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Hello friends, welcome back. If you have been on bitcoin twitter in the last day or so, you've probably seen someone talking about the pro bitcoin Argentinian presidential candidate that just won a primary election. As a representative tweet, Marty Bent said, Argentina electing an anarcho capitalist president and embracing bitcoin would be pretty epic, especially when the world sees how quickly they recover from a multi -decade bout of fiat -induced economic mismanagement. This is indeed a really interesting development. However, it can be very easy, all too easy, frankly, for bitcoiners or crypto advocates to get so excited about a politician from somewhere else sharing our views on those particular topics that we fail A, to see the politician for their full set of policies and beliefs, or B, fail to put it in the context of what's actually happening in the place that politician has emerged. I think both of those things are extremely important and so today what we're going to do is just a little bit a very, very superficial background on Argentina, its recent economic turmoil, and of course the candidate in question, Javier Millet. So first let's talk about what actually happened. On Monday night there was a shock election result when libertarian congressman Javier Millet secured a victory in the presidential primaries with 30 .1 % of the vote. Millet came in ahead of pro -business center -right candidate Patricia Bulrich, who garnered 28 .3 % of the votes, as well as the candidate from the incumbent center left government Sergio Masa, who got 27 .2 % of the vote. Masa is the current minister of economy and is a party member of the Renewal Front, a part of the ruling coalition of democratic socialist parties. To get a sense of why people around the world are talking about this, economics professor Lawrence White wrote, 30 % in the first round for a candidate who wants to abolish the central bank and dollar rise. Remarkable and encouraging whatever disagreements I may have with Millet on other issues. So who is Javier Millet? Well, he's a relative newcomer to Argentine politics. He was a founding figure in the libertarian coalition, which was formed in 2018. The party's power base is centered on the capital of Buenos Aires, but they are far from a dominant political faction. The party had a glimmer of success during the 2021 elections, obtaining a parliamentary seat for Millet. Overall, the libertarian coalition holds only four seats in the 257 seat lower house and none in the senate. One of the things this could mean that if Millet is successful in the final round of presidential elections to be held in late October, he might need to form an alliance with the center -right opposition in order to pass legislation. Before turning his attention to politics, Millet had a two -decade long career as a professor of economics. He is firmly of the Austrian school, believing in hard money principles. He has been highly critical of the university of Buenos Aires, which he views as being responsible for the, quote, proliferation of Keynesian brutes. Outside of economics, he is extremely socially conservative. He's put forward opinions, for example, around the extreme restriction of abortion, unrestricted civilian access to firearms, and climate change denial. Now, one of the things that you'll note if you've spent any time with Western press characterizations of Millet is that he gets compared to other right -wing populists like Trump and Bolsonaro quite a bit. In fact, most of the American coverage of him includes some phrase like Trump -loving or Trump -admiring literally in the title of the article. What's important to note is that his political communication is significantly more focused on politics. Indeed, his election campaign has centered on the economics of Argentina. During rallies, he has called for a massive reduction of government spending, formal dollarization, and the abolition of the central bank. He's also come out as a fierce advocate for Bitcoin as an answer to the control imposed by central banks over the money supply. However, before we go deeper into the Bitcoin dimension of this story, let's talk a little bit about the larger context. The Wall Street Journal characterized Millet's victory as a middle -class revolt, and it's pretty hard to argue with that point. Millet outperformed both the center -right opposition candidate as well as the center -left candidate from the incumbent government. Indeed, his victory in this preliminary stage of the elections is being viewed as a rejection of career politicians and the ruling class in Argentina. Current ruling party is part of a coalition of Peronist democratic socialist parties which have carried forward the political ideals of post -World War II president Juan Perón. While obviously the political history of an entire country is way, way out of depth for this show, at a very high Wikipedia -style level, Peronist presidents have been successfully elected in 10 of the last 13 elections in which they have been allowed to run, and so in that way definitely represent the entrenched incumbents in Argentina. Their ideology features things like nationalization of industry, strong government -supported labor unionization, and a hefty dose of social welfare. However, this ideology has been increasingly on the outs over recent years. For example, between 2015 and 2019, Mauricio Macri from the opposing center -right party, the Republican proposal held the presidency. In 2021, the Peronist coalition lost their majority in the Senate for the first time in 40 years, leaving the party impotent to pass legislation in their own right. Now, Mille's surprise victory on Monday could represent the final collapse of power for both of the major political coalitions in Argentina. Pre -election polling had the Dark Horse candidate finishing in third place behind the more established party figures, but was obviously way off. Now, part of why there has been such a political shift is that Argentina is going on 25 years of economic dysfunction. Starting in 1998, a string of global economic shocks led to a three -year depression punctuated by a sovereign default in 2001. In that period between 1998 and 2002, the Argentine economy contracted by 28 percent. Because of that, the nation turned to the IMF for debt restructuring to deal with an exponentially growing pile of dollar -denominated debt. After 2023, growth did return. Both unemployment and the 2008 global recession with its growth intact, but the economy sputtered out again in 2013, and since then, Argentina has experienced five recessions in the past 10 years. Now, things arguably took a turn for the worst after the change of government to the longtime opposition in 2015. By the second half of that year, inflation hit 30 percent, and the Argentine peso was cut in half to an exchange rate of 30 pesos per U .S. dollar. The central bank responded by hiking interest rates to 45 percent and draining its foreign currency reserves to bolster the collapsing peso. Inflation never came back down significantly below 40 percent prior to the pandemic, and the peso continued to devalue year after year. In 2019, power transitioned back to the dominant center -left coalition, and capital controls were put in place. Citizens could no longer freely exchange their pesos for dollars. In this environment, the central bank sets an official fixed exchange rate, at which individuals are only allowed to exchange $200 per month without paying punitive taxes. In spite of that official rate, however, the nation functions as a semi -dollarized state with citizens exchanging currency at a free market rate known as the blue dollar. This exchange in physical dollar bills is illegal but generally not enforced, as anyone who has visited BA knows. Alongside the blue dollar rate, there are a range of other exchange rates designed to act as either a subsidy or a tax on certain import and export industries. Most notably is the agricultural or soy dollar rate, which was introduced last year. The soy dollar rate was intended to offer farmers a more favorable exchange rate after they began to stockpile their crops rather than participate in economically critical export markets, however still had the problem of not being the actual rate that dollars were fetching on the blue markets. Now fascinatingly, on Monday, as it became clear that Miele had outperformed his rivals at the polls, the government announced another adjustment to the official exchange rate. The peso was devalued by 18 percent to trade at 350 pesos per dollar. Blue dollar rates also shifted by more than 14 percent and now sit at 675 pesos per dollar. That is a new all -time low for the Argentinian currency. Alongside the devaluation, the central bank hiked its key interest rate by 21 percentage points to reach 118 percent. Inflation is now firmly above 100 percent per year, and there doesn't appear to be an easy way to stabilize the currency or the economy. Now the devaluation is being blamed on an economic meltdown in reaction to the election. Alejo Costa, the chief Argentinian strategist at BtG Pakchual and BA, said investors like Miele's economic message but fear the execution and institutional risk considering his lack of power in congress and aggressive style. Now one concern is that Miele or any other president will have their work cut out for them. Claudia Kalich, the head of emerging market debt at MNG Investments, said that whoever is in charge by the end of the year will need to begin unwinding unsustainable policies. And ultimately this is what makes Miele's success at the polls start to make more sense. The core pillars of Miele's proposed economic reforms are to formally dollarize the economy and slash government spending to the bone. Given that the people of Argentina have seen their peso savings slashed by two -thirds in just the past year, the message appears to be resonating. So at this point let's start to bring crypto back into this story. Argentina is a place that has embraced crypto for some time now. In fact, I've often told this story on other podcasts, but in early 2019 I actually brought my father -in -law to BA for a couple day trip where we effectively just hung out with people who were working in the crypto space and that's where it really clicked for him. It was soon after that trip that he made his first bitcoin investments, which by the way, if you look at what bitcoin was priced at at the time, was a pretty damn good time to get in. Now back to Argentina itself, local laws allow for up to 20 % of wages in kind, which some workers have used to receive part of their salary in crypto. That has represented a significant boost for global workers who otherwise would have had US dollar payments automatically converted into pesos with the banking system. According to International Payroll Company Deal, Argentina has more workers getting paid in crypto than any other nation in the world. Now a big part of the adoption in Argentina is around stablecoins. This makes sense given how dollarized the economy is. Many blue dollar exchange offices now accept and distribute stablecoins and their use in the economy as a payment method is also increasing. Several major banks even began offering crypto services in recent years. Now perhaps because of all of this, the amplified adoption of crypto in Argentina has alarmed the IMF. Since 2020, the government has been seeking IMF assistance in restructuring its debt, but negotiations have been painfully difficult. The IMF has insisted on a range of economic reforms and austerity measures, but a lack of a parliamentary majority made it difficult for the government to make a firm commitment. In March 2022, the government signed a letter of intent with the IMF on a loan of $45 billion and one of the terms of the agreement was that central bank would discourage the adoption of crypto in Argentina in order to quell money laundering, informality, and disintermediation. This was, of course, the IMF's very own Operation Chokepoint Argentina and despite there being no formal policy, multiple major banks suddenly shut down their crypto services. Now $5 .4 billion of the IMF loan was distributed to Argentina earlier this year, but with elections and potentially a change in government coming, it's not clear when the balance of the loan will be paid out. For many citizens, the current government has used the central bank to pursue a failed policy of currency controls and sky -high interest rates. And in spite of all of that, inflation is still above 100 % and shows no signs of slowing down. Is it at all surprising then, that Argentinian citizens are attracted to a politician who pledges to burn down the central bank? Now, several months ago, when Mille was enjoying a groundswell of support, he made an appearance on national TV to put forward his economic positions. In that interview, he was asked specifically about his views on Bitcoin and what its adoption could mean for Argentina. Mille answered, and of course, all of these quotes are translated from Spanish. The first thing we have to understand is that the central bank is a scam. It is a mechanism by which politicians cheat the good people with the inflation tax. What Bitcoin is representing is the return of money to its original creator, the private sector. Money is a private invention. In order to be used to solve problems, for example, in a bartering economy, the double coincidence of wants and indivisibility. Then paper money appears in order to solve portability. And then that evolved and the currencies that people chose were silver for small transactions and gold for bigger ones. Then, because back then it was very dangerous to move the gold, people used to deposit the gold and get in exchange a receipt. Then in the year 1445, in the first Genovese Congress, the states appropriated the exclusivity to issue the money. That's the legal tender, which is a key point. Because legal tender allows the politician to scam you with the inflationary tax. Bitcoin has an algorithm that one day it will reach a certain amount and there is no more. It can compete with other currencies. In fact, it competes with Ethereum and others. And what is the good thing? It's the return of private money. But what is the problem? The problem is that governments will not give up the legal tender because with legal tender they can scam you with the inflationary tax. Bitcoin is the natural reaction against the central bank scammers and to make the money private again. The flip side is that the thieving politicians are not going to allow you to go against legal tender. In economies with high inflation, the scam problem is bigger. That's why, as I suggest, you can propose to close the central bank.

DIVORCING PATRIARCHY
Diego Rivera: Master Soul Communicator and Disrupter of Patriarchy
"The superstructure of patriarchy is a structure of power that organizes and operates to protect and privilege its primary beneficiary, males. Remember that the patriarchy problem is a problem of inequality. The critical project of the patriarchy is to be and to maintain absolute power. That absolute power can and should be disrupted. Disruptions to the project of patriarchy weaken its stability. This is a universal truth understood by master communicators of the soul. Our teaching for today will receive and consider the message that master communicator of the soul, Diego Rivera, carried to us. When the patriarchy came for Diego Rivera, he wasn't having it. The painter, Señor Diego Rivera, his full name was Diego Maria Concepcion Juan Nepomuceno Estanislo de la Rivera y Barrientos de Acosta y Rodriguez. He was the proud son of a minor. Writer, Cardona Pena said that, Diego Rivera contains in his blood, a cocktail of maps whose olive is in Mexico. It should be imbibed slowly to avoid sudden intoxication. His paternal grandparents were an Italian Jew, born in Russia, and a Portuguese Jewess who immigrated to Holland. His maternal grandparents were from Veracruz and San Miguel de Allende. Guanajuato, Mexico. There was a gentleman, he was born in El Salvador and raised in Costa Rica. A columnist, a science fiction writer, poet, narrator, and essayist by the name of Alfredo Cardona Pena. And every Sunday for 52 weeks in Mexico, he interviewed Diego Rivera, then age 63. The interviews were later translated into English by his younger brother, Alvaro Cardona Hein, 66 years later. Cardona Pena said, we can identify the painter with each of the deities that formed the Aztec pantheon with the Tlaloc, God of water, with Quezacotil, beneficent God of light, and with profound cotelique, goddess of earth and death, portrayed with eagle claws and a skirt of snakes. Rivera himself referred to the pre -Hispanic idols as his nourishment. Speaking about the aesthetics of Rivera's painting, philosopher Samuel Ramos said, it begins with the assumption that art must be the expression of an ideological content determined by the social conditions of the moment in which the artist lives. Rivera's painting involves a political thesis. His entire mural achievement is the visual objectification of a socialist idea based on Mexican history. Diego Rivera said that a painter is just as any artist the product of the society in which he lives individually, a being processing a neuro glandular system. And an ocular apparatus that aids him in his work, agents that are nothing but receptive conductors, transmitting apparatuses for the aspirations, desires and struggles of the masses that intervene in the medium produced. He said that art is meant to produce in a human being an aesthetic emotion, a unique phenomenon due to the proper and complete provocation that passing through the neurosympathetic system moves its adjacent glands so that these may yield their secretions to the organism. This is as necessary to life as those products that feed the digestive system. In consequence, if art is not made, there is a danger of death. Speaking about popular art, Rivera said that among the middle wealthy and aristocratic, there were those who inherited the mentality of those who divided the population of Mexico and Indians and people of reason. They consider popular art shameful. But before the Mexican Revolution, farmers, workers and artisans lived in a world separated from the middle classes by an abyss which became deeper in the period between 1862 and 1902 due to the influence of Europe in both the conservative and the liberal side. Cardona Pena writes that Rivera could look deeper into popular art and find strange forms of communication, roots, lost links, bits of shipwrecks and ships without a compass. That he could put the people to his ear as if they were a shell and then listen to the waves of the past voices, many of which only he could decipher. He he'd said stick his hand down the nearest feminine neck and pull out a gold necklace. He'd put the piece on the floor and with his naked ancient treasures, find an object that belonged to the night, place it next to the jewel and begin to smile slowly, because according to him, he had found between them a connection between yesterday and today. A hanging bridge over which, like the great belly gentleman he was, he could wander and sway up and down as he wished. Cardona Pena said that Diego Rivera showed us his investigative powers, bringing up things that philosophers would have to figure out on their own. Rivera, referencing the patriarchy, said that those in power rely on the collaboration of warriors, magicians or men of science, but that they also needed the help of producers of aesthetic emotion, artists. He saw painting as an essential function of human life, that wherever human beings lived, painting has existed and exists because it is a language as with words. And so he invented a particular style of Mexican painting. It could be converted into an effective weapon against lying to the people, teaching the people to discover through its contents the lies power uses to exploit it. That's what he called realism.

Randall Terry of Operation Rescue Shares His Story
"I want my audience to get to know your story. And let's start with this. You are making a documentary film called dragon slayers. That tells the story of this. So I want everybody to know about that by the time we're done with this. But Randall, I want your story. You were so iconic and so central to this movement in the 80s and the 90s, what is your story before that? How did you get involved in the pro life movement? Where do you begin life? Well, I was a graduate of a Bible college. I was blessed by the lord to be able to preach in churches all over the northeast and in Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras. I spoke Spanish fluently and preached in Spanish and my mission in my head was to be a missionary and to preach the gospel. Where did you grow up? I grew up in upstate New York outside of Rochester, New York, and a little town called west Henrietta. And went to public school there, I quit school when I was 16, four months before graduation, I was an honor student, graduating early, and I got into a big fight with my dad, and quit school. And literally it started traveling around the country. Hitchhiking, sleeping under bridges. And I was 16, my poor mom and dad, but people were preaching to me as I was going. And I came to the lord when I was 17. And had a genuine born again come to Jesus conversion. So I began to preach to all my friends and I felt a call to go to Bible college. So I went to Bible college. And while I was there, I saw the documentary by Francis schaefer called whatever happened to the human race. You remember it. Isn't it interesting how, you know, we all do what we do. And we don't know how it's going to affect people. It's kind of funny to think that there are many people in my audience that they don't know Randall Terry and operation rescue much less Francis schaefer,

Eugenia Constantinou Describes Her Journey to Faith
"I just want to ask you just a little bit about your biography. Obviously, you're married to father Costa. And so obviously you take your faith seriously, you can't be a Presbyterian on the Greek Orthodox church without taking your fates seriously. But what was your journey we can start there that got you interested in this just going way back to your childhood? Were you raised in a home where faith was at the center? Because both of us know that many people in the Greek Orthodox tradition it's a cultural thing and they tend not to go too deep. It's just like I'm Greek. I hang out with the Greeks and we go to the Greek Orthodox church. So we're all for it, but to really take it to this next level, like how did that begin for you? Well, yes, I was raised in a home with a very devout mother, especially, my father, our family, was involved in the church, but I know what you mean. This is one of, by the way, Greek, you said Eastern Orthodox, I suppose you mean frederica and Matthews green. Eastern northwest week orthodox Russian were all the same. I was just making the point that she's not Greek. So yes, it's unfortunate that sometimes there's a presumption, I think your father made the same presumption that if you come to the church, you will develop that relationship with Christ, and I think that doesn't happen for a lot of Greek Orthodox and it's important that we make sure that that is developed. So in my particular case, we were brought to the church. I was very active in the church and when I went to the university of San Diego as a student, I was had to take religious studies courses, and this is where I really learned about the early church and about the Bible, and so also is encounters with crease that I met who were very strong in their faith and very inspirational. They had a big influence on me too. My mother introduced us to the Bible

"The computer system at the U.S. marshal service was hit by a ransomware attack, a spokesman says hackers stole sensitive and personally identifiable data less than two weeks ago, about agency employees and targets of investigations.

Ransomware attacks have crippled everything from Britain's postal service to Ireland's national health network to Costa Rica's government.

Joe Biden's 'F' For Failure
"When I say the president deserves an F if there were an F minus, I think I'd give him that. I mean, hey, look, we haven't wound up in World War three just yet, so I guess we got that going for us. But hey, he's got two years left on the clock, so anything is possible. And when you consider what has happened just in the last few days and the whole Chinese spy balloon, there's still another balloon floating over our western hemisphere when you consider the magnitude of that situation and the reality that we didn't do anything for 8 days. It traveled 4000 miles across our country. You really got to question his judgment. China says it reserves the right to respond. In kind. Except we don't really have any of these balloons that we know of for that the Chinese know of over their airspace. So if you take that a step further if you look into what they're actually saying here in the global times, tried in its own peculiar way to make this clear that they reserve the right to shoot down a civilian aircraft. Wow. Talking about an escalation. It's as though China really wants to escalate. Because now they're getting all full of bravado and thrown around rhetoric that's entirely inappropriate. Tonight, he's going to try and tell us, yeah, yeah, all under control, but let me share with you what the Chinese defense ministry spokesperson actually said and I quote the U.S. attack on Chinese civilian unmanned airship by force is an obvious overreaction. He added China reserves the right to use necessary means to deal with similar situations. Now you want to talk about overreacting. Meanwhile, what kind of idiot is going to believe that this was just a weather civilian operation. And by the way, how do you have two of them? Because another one was just found. I told you about it, I was in Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, says the Chinese have apologized for it, but guess what it's still there?
