Plunge in border crossings could blunt GOP attack on Biden
"A new poll shows some support for changing the number of immigrants and asylum seekers allowed into the United States. About four in ten adults who responded to an Associated Press north center for public affairs research survey say the level of immigration and asylum seekers should be lowered about two in ten, say they should be higher, and about a third want the numbers to remain the same. There has been a sharp drop in illegal border crossings since December following president Joe Biden's announcement that Mexico would take back Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, under a pandemic era rule that denies migrants the right to seek asylum as part of an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but at the same time the U.S. has agreed to admit up to 30,000 per month of those four nationalities on humanitarian parole if they apply online, enter at an airport and find a financial sponsor.

Voyager Digital Faces FTC Probe Over 'Deceptive' Crypto Marketing
"According to a new legal filing from the Federal Trade Commission, there's an investigation into Voyager digital and how they marketed their cryptocurrency project. Of course, Voyager digital declared a chapter 11 bankruptcy over the summer months. That was part of the spew of the fallout from three hours capital. They later sold their chapter 11 bankruptcy claims to FTX, which then itself went into chapter 11, and now we have this investigation, also this morning we have new headline that binance U.S. has been affirmed and is likely to win the final chapter 11 assets from this whole contagion with Voyager. So we kind of get a resolution there. That being said, this FTC investigation is now open and they're going to look into the directors, the officers, the marketing of the firm that got them into this position in the first place. It's really feels like a story for Jenny got to throw your way. There's a lot of marketing and crypto. There's a lot of marketing out there that Gary gensler and SEC boys would not love. But it's probably how you went out in this ecosystem. Want to get your take on it? Yeah, so this is all about this bankruptcy case, right? What the FTC is saying is that if Voyager is sold, which it looks like it is going to be to Biden's U.S., all of these marketing claims shouldn't go away and I think I agree with them. I just want to remind our audience. So there is a class action lawsuit in South Florida, and it's against Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks and the claims are that Voyager falsely marketed the platform as a 100% commission free, falsely represented Voyager as insured by the FDIC and failed to disclose the nature scope and amount of compensation celebrities received in exchange for promotion. I don't think that the executives and the company should not be held liable for those things. If it's found that these allegations are true, and I guess my next question is, is if the sale goes through and binance U.S. does acquire Voyager digital, do they acquire these lawsuits as well? It seems like the FTC wants them to and I wonder if that's going to affect the sale, but I think that all marketers in crypto should be looking at this with a magnifying glass and taking a look at your marketing strategy. You should understand how the business works. If you're making claims that there are things like FDIC insurance and it comes out in your copy and your marketing, you are partially responsible for that

Migrant arrivals soared to record high before border crackdown
"Illegal border crossings surged last month with December posting the largest number of President Biden's term, authorities say a surge in Cuban and Nicaraguan arrivals at the U.S. border with Mexico in December led to the highest number of illegal border crossings recorded during any month of Joe Biden's presidency. The extraordinary influx came shortly before Biden introduced measures on January 5th to deter Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, customs and border protection said Friday, U.S. authorities stopped migrants more than 251,000 times along the Mexican border in December, up 7% from November, and up 40% from December 2021.

Unpacking CES 2023: Where Was Web3?
"How is CES? How is a consumer electronic show? What did you think of it this year? I didn't make it, so I'm really curious if web three was everywhere, or if it was anywhere. Great question. CES was a little bit of both. One, there were some amazing people, great conversations that were had. We interviewed, I think almost 20 people and did a bunch of great Sessions on stage. And so that was fantastic. The thing that I was most interested in is how much web three was not showing up on the show floor. For anyone who hasn't been to CES, it is really an expo show. It is a 1 million ft² of demo space for people to show off their new wares. There was like 15 foot holograms of Mark Cuban. There was all of this amazing sort of gaming and VR tech and haptic tech that we saw and tons of autonomous cars. But when I kept looking, I was like, oh, I'm not seeing much web three here, which compared to when you go to a south by Southwest or a can or even art Basel. You see what three almost everywhere? Here it was kind of missing. And so I'm just, I was a bit surprised because I thought I would see more from not being there, but seeing the news, what was your takeaway? Yeah, well, I was thinking about going and I've been to CES a bunch of times before. This year, just timing didn't work out. So I was following along the news. I was really excited to see what Raja for Mastercard announced with Mastercard's web three accelerator. They're doing that in collaboration with polygon studios, which I thought was really cool. That seemed to be sort of the biggest web three announcement in news, but a lot of what I was seeing was more hardware developments like L'oreal, unveiled some new technology on the applicator phase for people with accessibility challenges. I thought that was amazing. I didn't see a ton about web three though, outside of Mastercard's announcement with polygon.

'Killing Kennedy' Author Jack Roth Discusses Lee Harvey Oswald
"Let me ask you, you know, excuse the kind of cruel pun, but gun to your head, what happened in Dallas, Texas. I try to avoid the gun to my head. And in the book, I tried 'cause, yeah, I'm a journalist. Documentarian, and I'm like, oh, what do I say at the end of this? And I learned a lot. But what I tell people is, when they ask me, who killed Kennedy? The first thing I say is the Cold War, and it's cold warriors. Killed candidate. And what I mean by that is it was the times in which Kennedy governed that got him killed. That's my first answer. And my second answer, I know who didn't kill Kennedy. I'm feel very confident about who didn't kill Kennedy. And that's Lee Harvey Oswald. So let me ask you, do you think do you think Lee Harvey Oswald was in the Texas school book depository at the time? Or do you think he was somewhere else? I think he was there. He was told, you know, that's where his job was and he was doing certain things. And it isn't intelligence capacity. And he may or may not have been in front of the building. There's controversy about a photo there that shows really looks like Oswald there. But again, not definitive, whatever. It is very interesting. But I think he was in there because that was part of the setup. And I also think that he went to the Texas theater because his CIA handler told him to meet him there. And that's why he goes there. And within minutes, there's, again, a hundred Dallas police officers there arresting him. There's so much to that that just doesn't make any sense. And so yeah, I think Oswald was oswalt actually, I'll go ahead and say this. And if you read the book, you'll see why, because of what a lot of people say. He actually thought that he could prevent the assassination. And I think he was told by his handler and by, you know, whoever his bosses were, that he was there to infiltrate Cuban exiles, the Cuban exile community,

Caller: Feeling Betrayed by the Republican Party
"Wondering if you kind of feel is betrayed as I do. With what's been revealed with Elon Musk with the behavior of our Republican members of the House and Senate. I mean, it's just demoralizing to those of us that have supported Republican candidates have knocked on doors. They've given money, have voted for them. Only to find out that they're really, there's not a DOM's worth of difference. You know, major issues between Republicans and Democrats. I mean, I remember that movie back in the 80s called red dawn where the United States was invaded. Remember that? I do remember that movie. Yeah, okay, yeah. It was a good movie. And we were having a fight for our survival. It was a Russian Cuban Nicaraguan invasion. Well, based on what Elon Musk is revealed with the collusion between big tech with the government, the media, the Democratic Party, and everything that's been done to our country. It's almost like that we've been invaded and defeated, maybe we don't have the body count. But the net result is the same. We've lost control of our stuff and border. We become a one party state. The destruction that's being done to the economy, foreign policy, it's just, it's humiliating. And it's like, what do we do? And I just hope that Kevin McCarthy, if he's the Speaker of the House and Republicans coming in, we'll do something to hold these people accountable. And not cave in and give us some type of remedy. What's being done? Look, Charles, that's going to have to happen. And look, you are right to feel the way you feel.

Mike Gonzalez on Hispanics and Identity Politics
"Made fun of you. I made a little joke in our green room earlier. I used the epithet, the adjective Hispanic, you wrote a book, let's put it up there the plot. This is your first blockbuster book, the plot to change America. How identity politics is dividing the land of the free. This book is a real glimpse behind the curtain mic of the kind of divide and conquer philosophy, which has gotten us to a place where you as a Cuban or a family from Cuba, if you fill out an official federal form, there'll be a box that separates you from me that asks you whether your Hispanic or whether you're non Hispanic, how much has this identity pot. Let's start with this. How much is identity politics left political parties and ideologues and radicals and borrowed its way into government. In fact, because Hispanic is not a race, it's a questionable by itself in the senses. They ask you, it's completely divides the country into Hispanics and non Hispanics. And I choose never to answer the question. This is obviously an artifact of the activists of the 1970s who insisted that the Census Bureau create this category. Just make it up. Yes, and when the Census Bureau, which at the beginning, now of course, the Census Bureau has been infiltrated. But back in the early 70s, they were quite reluctant to do this. And there's a very famous exchange, which I quote in my book, in which a director of the Census Bureau said, we have all the data that you need. We have the language to speak at home. The nation of origin, you know, we have all that and they activists said, we don't want the data. We want the group, create a category. Let's unpack that. So what is the objective of the activist in the 70s who say to the bureau, we don't care whether or not they speak Spanish at home. We want a label. We want a box. Why do they want that Michael? Well, it's because once you have a group that you can isolate from the rest of the country, then you have a victim who category. In fact,

Leftist Media Pretends Rubio Volunteer Was Not Violently Attacked
"There was a guy out there and I believe he's of Cuban descent. He was out there wearing a Marco Rubio T-shirt. He had a Ron DeSantis ball cap on, and he's just out there going door to door. Some punk thug animal stood in his way and said you can't come here. Republicans are not welcome here in this neighborhood. And he starts punching the Rubio volunteer. A couple of other animals show up and they start beating and kicking the poor guy has, they broke his jaw, they caused some incredible internal bleeding and there was also facing facial reconstruction surgery. That's how horrific the attack was. So the mainstream media, not only are they ignoring it. But you've got some of the leftist and folks Daily Beast, those people are sleaze. They're sleaze balls. Every single one of them. And they actually put the attack in quotes as if it may not have happened. Well, it did happen. And now the police are speaking out, they've arrested a second person. And the police will confirm what the mainstream media refuses to report. That this was all this all happened because the kid was a Republican. I got to say, my hand is off to Marco Rubio for standing alongside this young man. He's going to need a lot of help. You know, he's what 27 years old. And the kids just out there wants to be a part of the political process, and he nearly loses his life. And how many times have we seen this happen? I mean, it's happening all over America when it comes to conservatives.

Stephen and it's about eleanor roosevelt. And it's about women in history because march is women's history month might yet so the story it takes place in nineteen forty one. My client stephen. He grew up in prague czechoslovakia. He lived there until he was seven years old and the nazis invaded his country Thankfully his parents decided that they needed to escape to avoid the nazis and You know just imagine your family living in one area for many generations and stephen and his his parents and brother they left everything. They knew Everything they own to escape with their lives and they found a way to the united states so they were lucky to get out when they did but stevens grandparent's whose names were heinrich and hortense Unfortunately they had more trouble escaping and they were not able to book passage to the united states to join their family they had to survive in prague for two years and avoid being sent to concentration camps which they were able to do and then in one thousand nine hundred eighty one. One of their sons was fortunate. Enough to book passage on a ship to cuba and They started just dreaming of cuba praying that they would land safely there and their ultimate goal was to get visas from cuba to come to the united states. serena night with our family new york so they landed in cuba and right after they landed. They learned that it have become nearly impossible to obtain visas into the united states The state department basically just before they arrived. The state department had become wary of spies pretending to be refugees. information was being leaked. And that was there. That was their views so Hortense and and heinrich decided to embrace cuba and You know enjoy the culture and the people and enjoy their experiences and they loved it and they often later on spoke of their wonderful experiences in cuba. They were there for a few months. And then stevens grandmother decided that she had to take action so she wrote a letter to elinor directly to eleanor roosevelt. The first lady and it was very difficult for her to do that because she didn't speak any english so she wrote the letter in check and then she went to great lengths to translate the letter using check english dictionary and this was written about in a famous of biography of eleanor roosevelt. And so this was what she wrote. She wrote dear. Mrs roosevelt as one grandmother to another. I'm asking your help here. We sit idle a short distance away from our six grandchildren are days are numbered in every hour counts. My husband is ninety. And i'm eighty years old. What possible danger can be to the united states. Why not let us spend our few remaining years. Perhaps only months with our family and then she addressed this letter simply. Eleanor roosevelt white house washington. Dc so powerful. Great right you know. Can you imagine today or the wife of the president taking the time to get involved with a letter. Well you know. eleanor roosevelt. Did she received a letter and five days later. Stevens grandparents granted approval to enter the united states. September third nine hundred forty one. They sailed on the ss shawny from havana to manhattan and once they are in the united states. Not only did eleanor roosevelt. Take care of them this way but she invited them to tea at her apartment in new york and stephen remembers stephen accompanied her and he remembers meeting. Eleanor roosevelt vividly. Everyone in loved her. They had her portrait up on their wall. And the kicker of it isn't the anecdote was written about in the definitive biography of eleanor.

Okay all right so first of all thank you for having me on the show The founder of life story. I'm a writer. I'm a storyteller and And life story. I write your memoir for you or for your loved. One incorporate fully illustrate the story and these memoirs become legacies that families cherished for generations. And the way that it all started as a story in itself. I basically had a lightbulb. Moment i grew up with a very close knit family and my grandfather was always sharing stories as family members did but there was one world war two story that my grandfather told me that really really captured my attention. And that's the story that gave me my moment. And that's when i realized i wanna write people's memoirs for them. I knew that was my path because writing people's memoirs fulfils people's drains and at the film So my grandfather. He was eighteen years old when he enlisted in the army air force for woodward till he became a pilot flying b seventeen fighter planes in the pacific and he told me many stories but there was one that always stood out during missions. During some of the missions the anime launched projectiles from the ground below which exploded and they sent out slack which shards of metal and they would rip apart the plans they hit and during one battle. The flag ripped off the floor of my grandfather's plan Pieces of the metal went into his leg. They also sadly wanted to his co. pilots head which killed him grin point to save his own life. My grandfather had to think very quickly and he immediately bailed out of the air planning tower. She down to the ocean. So just imagine you know you have metal in your leg your co-pilot just died in your falling toward the ocean. Don't know what's going to be down there. Oh my goodness you cannot even imagine so it was always so compelling name and And the story continues that he and the other soldiers were floating in the ocean holding on for dear life to the radio flotation devices which they called mae west. That's what everyone called them which was after a famous actress. And if you don't know who she has just imagine why they named their floaters after So they were surrounded by sharks but You know and scared But thankfully they were picked up before the shark attacks and my grandfather lived to be able to share his story and for meteorite his memoir. And that was the story that When i was interviewing him and he asked me to write her life story. That was my moment. A realize how brave and lucky He was how how lucky. I am that i can interview 'em and that's when i realized that i could make a business with us and i wanna write people's memoirs that's an amazing story while so what. What is the difference between a biography. And a memoir. 'cause a lot of people are confused. Yea i there's a lot of that i mean. Sometimes they could kind of be the same thing but in general An autobiography or biography is very comprehensive. It's from day. One of your life you know all the way through and a memoir can be More focused on a theme or or an aspect of someone's life that could just be about their childhood. It could be about their family history. Career love So that's the main difference and with the memoirs that i'm writing i'm writing them former clients. I'm facilitating their words No an autobiography normally as the subject wrote it themselves right right. So and what are people's reasons for wanting to write a memoir. Yes yeah I mean they're they're deep reasons. I would say they're fantastic sharing courageous loving reasons to want to do them. And i would say that that. What my clients value and that would value in that what my life story is all about is about the importance of story and history to family and it's for people who like sharing their lives and for people hopefully who likes to talk Everyone stories timeless. You can tell it any age. And it's the anecdotal stories that really bring the memoir to life When i'm interviewing my clients i see their faces and their demeanor change as they tell their stories and and go through their memories as if they're living their memories in the moment and i really relished that As that aspect of the interview process because my clients berman. And i feel. I'm walking in their shoes Every story is unique. Told through that person's lens there's common threads across books but each individual's personalized experience is is just priceless. You know i think like you know. Some people have a favorite picture. They were given or A letter or a dish of clothing and those are like legacies that someone in their family left for them at slips and so memoir is a legacy for family. You know that that someone is giving give generously. It's not an easy to write And people and then it's there permanently in their family and that brings them comfort right. Yeah definitely it can seem overwhelming to write a life story right. so how. how does someone start a memoir so reading a book is is certainly lengthy process for me for life story. I interview i. I recorded i am. All you have to do is talk to me. I added it. I incorporate meaningful pictures and the i mean the best way to describe stories to walk you through a day in my life on a day-to-day basis. I typically meet with my clients during covid has been mostly virtual i Guide my clients with questions. I helped prompt them to recall the time in their life It's funny because a lot of my clients say that they've dreamed of writing a memoir. A lot of them have even started. Writing their own memoir. They assume learn. It's difficult task and so for those clients who've done their own writing i'll we've they're writing their notes into the ball and interviews can include family members and friends also who have stories to tell and One of the grapes sort of a add on services that i provide also a genealogy report with documents birth and marriage. Certificates ship manifests When day or their families came over to the new world you know to the country. and i incorporate that research into the story and you just can't believe how my clients and their families are speechless when that information's including the more wow from your experience what weapon fit. The u Seem from people who have written a memoir well you know it's a benefit to the whole family benefit the people themselves. It's i would say it's a therapeutic experience you know for many of my clients. Completing their life story was important part of their journey. it was like a lifelong Goal you know something necessary. Something they've always wanted to do and one day he completed and they know that they shared the most important moment moments of their life. It's it's very special and comforting. And you know they've shared their soul. And when i'm interviewing my clients we get to the heart of them's and it can be emotional for them. As as well as me you know. We go through their ups and downs. you can turn a coroner in life. You didn't expect this was going to happen What happened after that. And it can bring closure For some my clients are able to express to me for their memoir things that they couldn't say directly to their family and as i said it's a benefit to to everyone then and the family and and to me too because i just love listening to people's stories of their lives right. Do you have a story that you can share from someone you help with a memoir so that you can provide our listeners.

"I don't think so either. But i don't know somehow we got from crooked those to jose at the it happened here at take easy folks. Yup don't tell everyone anyway. Get great what else do we have. We have book ethos another book. Idaho cuban deviled ham sandwiches. So there's little small finger sandwiches and the bread is kind of like a dinner roll in that size and sort of shape as well and then they're sliced in half on the inside is a sort of ham paste. That is actually made with ham cheese roasted red peppers mayonnaise. Sweet pickles. Olives complement does. If i had to really give you an equivalent of what the ham paste tastes like the best that i have found is pimento cheese and they're delicious and you can have ten thousand of them and not feel it. It's like air moves so fast lead. Does the magic word busta lethal the closer to breakfast that you are the more likely you are to get some leaders. So busta lethal are a puff pastry. It can sometimes be chrome buttery a little moist on the inside super buttery and it stuffed with some form of fruit paste. The most common ones in some of the most delicious ones are stuff with guava paste. I've seen some mango paste ones. There's guava paste with cream In some also have meat Also even seen based up within which they just take pizza ingredients and somehow make it into a little. If i'm being really honest if i can be vulnerable for a moment. This is the thing that i missed. The most about cuban culture in miami linked to the point that i will sometimes walk into a bakery order of turnover. And tell myself you are up lethal and it's so sad but jordan. I have since moved on and learn how to make my own butter. Lido's i actually learned it from watching my big fat. Cuban family marta. She makes a good one and she made a recipe in shared it. And then i started making it so shout out to my dad. My big fat cuban family all right so We've got a lot of food but it's still not know a start with a typical party. That isn't a birthday you'll at the very least have some flood or i'm salute lantis legislation relations. Yeah but i let us means three milks in carmen. What are the three. The three milks can be whole milk. Sometimes heavy cream is used but definitely sweetened. Condensed milk and evaporated milk and they soak spongy bread. You so yummy ended on top. You have to have a shit ton of meeting and if you're getting really fancy you put a little cherry on top that nobody actually cares lights. But it's there you do america no cherry if you are attending a birthday party especially a children's birthday party what do you get you get on gay muslim. They get any new. So the cuban it they allow or the cuban birthday cake is usually eat humongous like the bigger. The cake dissatisfied. Bright like. I think that it's definitely a status. Symbol the cuban bennett. Bela is usually huge rectangular cake that covers almost an entire table..

"Guay abayas guava and gua- beta sounds a lot like the veda also might look a little bit like spanish military uniform so this was possibly worn by soldiers during the cuban war of independence. And today you will find it on your uncle. People two men are wanguo at us and they're wearing dressy shoes and a hat and now you are properly dressed to go to this party. You drive over to the party and the entire family like all generations of the family are going. It's very rare that you find a cuban party that's like just for a certain age group everyone goal and then once you get there carmen you say to every single person and what does it mean to say. Hi rita it means you kiss everyone on the cheek and in miami a kiss on the cheek is one kiss on one side of the cheat. So it's it's not like the double kisses from spain from france. It's a single kiss. And this is one of those things that as soon as i left miami and i started interacting communities. That were not cuban. I realized how weird this is to everybody else. Miami people for the first time you give them a kiss on the cheek so just as specified kissing on the cheek happens from women to women from women to men but men to men usually do not know cheek men to men might like give themselves a Hug or handshake. I went to college away from miami. That was the first time. I ever saw people my age shaking hands and i was thinking. Wow these people are like business there really professional people. I didn't understand. Because when i grew up in miami i thought that owning business people show cans. Do you remember kissing literally your entire middle school. Every single morning. I would get to school early in order to kiss everyone. The worst part is is that if you walk into a party and you forget to kiss one person you're never going to hear the end of it. You must say hi to everybody and you must kiss every single person there so now that you've done your dude now that you've gone around major rounds everybody even the people you don't maybe some people you end up kissing them twice. Whatever you're just for good measure just so that you don't get it twisted that i didn't do it ya so now. We're at the party. We're here commer. He was going on around us. Well llano mangan. Oh baby wanna google. Who brought some kind of instrument and they are setting up shop. And it's about to get fun. Yes so you might bring some mccaw. We'd off bongo all of these instruments. That are pretty portable. You can bring them to the parties and either use them to play along with existing music like you know saturday someting etc or you have basically a band going on if you can improvise some verses of one animator..
