A highlight from Your-Weekly-Tech-Update-EP-132
"Hello everyone! Welcome to your weekly tech update, the show that explores the newest, coolest, and sometimes mind -boggling side of tech available on the interwebs. I am your tech therapist, Ray McNeil. I'm here to take your mind off of the current state of the world and my prescription? Technology. Coming up on the program today, Google's Tilt Brush virtual painting app is coming to the PlayStation VR. This has me so excited. Valve's first entry into the Half -Life world in 13 years is now available and it's in VR. And happening in this week's What The... We're actually going to rename the segment this week to give you just a moment of joy. That and a whole lot more coming up on today's edition of your weekly tech update, next. Hi everyone. Google's Tilt Brush painting app is conquering one of its few remaining frontiers. We're talking about consoles. The search giant has teamed up with Outerloop Games to release the 3D creative tool for the PlayStation VR. To no one's surprise, it's the same experience just in your living room. It turned your PlayStation Move controllers into virtual brushes that you can use to create pretty much any immersive masterpiece that you can dream up. And yes, Sony is aware that Move controllers aren't always easy to find. It's actually selling a $100 Tilt Brush bundle that includes two wands plus a code for Tilt Brush. That kit doesn't include the PlayStation VR headset itself, but it beats having to scrounge for controllers at other stores or even shops like Goodwill. However you complete your setup, it could be worth the expense if you need another creative tool to help you relax during a particularly stressful time. Dragon's Lair was a technological marvel when it was released way back in 1983. Instead of using conventional graphics of the day, which were not great at all, it featured real animation by ex -Disney animator Don Bluth enabled by beefy laser disc storage. It wasn't a particularly good game. Alright, it was horrible, but those stunning visuals turned it into a five -star quarter eater and inspired home versions on a variety of platforms. The original is on Steam right now if you wanted to play it, and GOG picked up the Dragon's Lair trilogy back in 2018. In 2015, Bluth and Gary Goldman launched a $550 ,000 Kickstarter project to help fund the creation of Dragon's Lair the movie. It tanked, so they cancelled and went to Indiegogo looking for $250 ,000 slightly over what was pledged on Kickstarter. At this time, they were actually successful, achieving their goal in just a couple of weeks and ultimately pulling in more than $350 ,000. And now, according to The Hollywood Reporter anyway, the project has been picked up by Netflix, with none other than Ryan Reynolds in talks to star as Dragon's Lair hero, Dirk the Daring. Bluth, Goldman, and John Pomeroy, another animator who left Disney to work with Bluth, are producing this. Netflix confirmed the report on Twitter. Dragon's Lair isn't very big on plot. Princess Daphne has been kidnapped by the Dragon Singe and is being held in the fortress of the evil wizard Marduk. And Dirk the Daring, a bold, vaguely dumbwitted knight, crashes the castle to rescue her. The game itself doesn't provide any greater depth because it's basically a series of rapid -fire quick -time events. That means the writers have the freedom to run with pretty much whatever they want. But whether that's actually a good thing, we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully it will be better than Reynolds' last collaboration with Netflix, the Michael Bay -directed cinematic fiasco Six Underground. Honestly, I can't imagine it being any worse. However, I am an action fan and I did find some mild entertainment out of that movie. Tesla is preparing to release an update to its Autopilot system that will enable it to finally automatically stop at traffic lights. And a video of the system at work has already been released. The automaker is supposed to induce more advanced driver assist features meant to help city driving, the same way Autopilot has been helping Tesla drivers for highway driving. It's part of what CEO Elon Musk calls the feature -complete version of its full self -driving capability, which Tesla was supposed to push at least to its early access owners by the end of last year. Instead, Tesla pushed what Musk called a full self -driving preview, which was the integration of stop signs and traffic lights in Tesla's Autopilot visualization. When the automaker pushed the update in December, Tesla's Autopilot system didn't act on those traffic lights. Now, it looks like Tesla has started to push an Autopilot update with the actual ability to handle intersections to its early access fleet, a group of owners who beta test new software updates from Tesla. Out of Spec Motoring on Twitter, who apparently has access to a Model 3 with early access software, released a video of the new Autopilot software in action. It shows the Model 3 detecting the red light and stopping the car on its own with some new driving visualizations. The driver assist feature for city driving is part of a promise that Tesla has made since starting to sell its full self -driving package many years ago now. It's going to be available to owners of Tesla vehicles with the latest Autopilot hardware and who paid the $7 ,000 full self -driving capable package price, which has been listing these two upcoming features, recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop, and automatic driving on city streets. The fact that the feature is in early access right now means that Tesla is closer than ever to releasing it to its broader fleet, but the timeline is not exactly clear. Sometimes Tesla only takes days between pushing a feature to its early access owners and the larger customer fleet, while at other times it can take weeks. While Tesla Autopilot will be able to automatically operate at intersections like with Autopilot on the highway, Tesla still says that drivers must keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times and, of course, be ready to take control. The driver is still always responsible for driving a Tesla vehicle.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
The Second Republican Debate Was Sort of Disastrous...
"Doesn't it feel like we're sort of just going through the motions now? And I know you're going to call me and yell at me and you're going to be mad at me because, oh, you're just a Trumper. You're a Trumpist. You're MAGA. You're just a delusional Trump supporter. Did you see that mess last night? Did you see those petulant, arguing folks on that stage and the horrible moderators and the terrible execution of one of the worst debates in television history? I am thinking about going back to before I was born with the Kennedy -Nixon debate, the famous debate that Nixon won on radio but Kennedy won on television because he was the one guy on that debate stage in 1960, I guess, who was smart enough to have somebody put some makeup on. And Nixon didn't look good, but he sounded great on radio. To people who just heard it, I mean, just think about the great historic debates of our time, the moments of clarity when somebody said, gosh, that's my guy, where the viewers said this was a moment. Well, the only moment last night was like Don Rickles over at Chuckles Comedy Club in Poughkeepsie, Chris Christie, making an absolute fool of himself. Can you imagine thinking that calling Donald Trump Donald Duck because he ducked the debate last night, can you imagine thinking that's a good idea?

Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Good morning, Don Bay. Morning, Peter. Morning, Terrence. Welcome back, Tomer Strohle. How are you? Morning to Jacob. Hey, good morning. Took me a second to get the mic off, slow reflexes, got to exercise and back up. What did I miss? I really tried to tune out for like a solid 12 days. Absolutely nothing, Tomer. The price didn't change. And I guess no ETFs were approved and no charges were laid against anybody. And so it's just picked a good two week window to take a vacation, I suppose. Yeah, it's been much sideways crabbing. And, you know, everything that goes along with sideways crabbing. So I've been actually trying to tune out too. Like when I'm not doing the show, I try not to look at Twitter at all. So like my Twitter time is basically doing Cafe Bitcoin now. Well, and like prior to. Prior to Cafe Bitcoin, we also do show prep, which kind of gets me caught up, I hope, a little bit. Yeah, I wish there was an easier way to curate Twitter from all the truly psychotic stuff that's on it, because when I was away, I noticed myself relaxing. And then you come back to Twitter and every tweet seems to be. Some deeply concerning insinuation about something or other. So it just it's really it's really tough to take the constant barrage of the Twitter zeitgeist, which is it may be accurate in many regards, but it's also very impactful on your mental health. Yeah, your mental, spiritual health, emotional health, all that stuff. I wonder, like how much of it is actually encouraged, exacerbated, incentivized by the algorithms and social media? Like if you go and you watch certain interviews with like Ph .D. behavioral scientists who have done interviews with like one of the one I'm thinking of was. I think it was the chief engineer of Facebook who designed the algorithm and they literally said that we tune this thing to show people things that are going to make them upset. And the reason why is this has the highest level of stickiness, meaning like it gets the eyeballs looking at it, it gets people staying on, it holds people's attention. And we're living in the attention economy. Whoever is able to keep people's attention longest wins, so to speak. And it's essentially like constantly feeding people really dysfunctional stuff. It's like Jerry Springer 24 -7. Yeah, there's a couple of really good TED talks about this. And it's interesting now that AI is in the zeitgeist, everybody is focusing on AI, but AI algorithms, not ones that were writing perfectly grammatically correct English text for you or drawing images, but selecting what content to put in front of you have been around for a long time. And this is like the YouTube algorithm, the Facebook algorithm and the Twitter algorithm. And what's interesting about these TED talks that discuss this issue is they point out how you simply optimize for engagement. You tell the AI algorithm, learn what maximizes engagement and put that in front of people to continue to maximize engagement. The AI has no actual understanding of what content is in there, but what emerges is it is exactly, as you said, content that is radicalizing, emotionally aggravating, terrifying. If you're in terror, you keep coming back to the thing to see, is my terror justified? Has the next domino fallen in this disaster scenario that I'm coming? If everything's hunky dory, you don't have to go back and check. But if you're constantly in a state of fear, you are. And that's what ends up being game theoretically or algorithmically what these things put in front of people. So there's one really good scientist who says, you know, if you start to look at vegetarian dishes, it will turn you into a radical vegan by doing these things. Or if you start to look at meat dishes, it'll turn you into a radical carnivore. But it'll just continue to radicalize the content by finding something that's more extreme until it gets to the most extreme thing that it can to keep you on there. And I think that, and again, the AI algorithm isn't conscious. It doesn't know what's going on. It just knows what works and what works happens to be the stuff that is filling and fueling you with terror. And I don't think that there's a solution for that right now. The best solution is some solution that where your attention isn't the business model of the of the entity you're interacting with because you're dealing with something that has artificial and no sense of morality and no sense of understanding even what it means to suffer as a human being to be a human being. So it just does its thing. It's just a machine that does its thing. And the second that you engage with it, you're participating in something that doesn't understand anything about you other than it understands its world, that it's trying to maximize its engagement with these entities on the other end of it. Yeah, and I think we need to ask the question, like, what are the second and third order effects on human culture from this? Like, if you think about it, people are constantly staring at their phones like they're just sucked into them and they're being essentially programmed all day every day. The question is, with what? And, you know, you're starting to see this shift in the in the culture. Like I call, you know, I've talked about this kind of stuff a lot, probably to the point where many people are tired of me talking about it maybe. But like cluster B personality disorder type stuff is it's becoming super common. The behaviors are starting to become super common. Like you at least that's what you see all the time on social media. Like how many people are actually out there that are like this? I don't know what the percentage of the population is, but it seems like that's all you see on social media anymore is these cluster B disordered behaviors. And it's it's really mind blowing. And I wonder, can you take a normal person and expose them to those behaviors? Because that's what's getting the engagement. That's what they're being fed. That's what they're being programmed with. You take a normal person, expose them to those behaviors continuously over and over and over again. Will it turn somebody into somebody who behaves like that? I don't know, man. It's pretty freaky thing to me. And it concerns me a lot because you're starting to see the rise of this.

Telecom Reseller
A highlight from Kurmi Software solutions enable Enterprise and Managed Service Providers to integrate and provision multiple platforms through a single pane of glass, Podcast
"Hello, this is Don Witt with the Channel Daily News from Telecom Reseller and today we're speaking with Micah Singer. He is the CEO of Kermie Software. How are you doing today, Micah? Doing great, Don. Great to be on with you. Yeah, I'm looking forward to our conversation and before we get started, if you could tell us a little bit about yourself and Kermie Software, that'd be great. Yeah, I mean briefly about myself, I've been in the industry about 25 years, been an entrepreneur for about the last 20 until I joined Kermie. I joined Kermie a year ago after being on their board for a few years before that. Kermie makes service management software, really powerful service management software to automate all the complex IT infrastructure management tasks that large companies have to do to keep up with the latest UC and collaboration software that's out there. You probably have covered a little bit of this, but what's your product and what problem does that product really solve? I know the management of networks and things is really one of those major things for enterprise, so maybe you can fill us in on that. Yeah, absolutely. So the product is called Kermie Provisioning Suite and it's delivered on -prem or historically, there's still have customers that deliver it that way or consume it that way and then also as a service, we call it Kermie as a service, it's a SaaS offering. And as essentially companies get larger and larger, the management of IT infrastructure becomes a bigger and bigger time suck. There was a time inefficiency and creates need for really specialized knowledge, like people who know all these subsystems, complex workflows that are done manually and so forth. And Kermie automates all of this. So, we allow companies and I'll say our target is large enterprise and we find most of our customers are 2 ,500 or even 5 ,000 users and larger, and they have these repetitive tasks that the IT team is doing again and again and again, and then end up adding people and people. And another way to approach this is what looks more like an outsource, so bring in software that is specialized, build your workflows, your manual workflows, automate them and then instead of clicking a lot of buttons, click one button to accomplish something similar. It sounds like a solution to me, that's for sure. So what type of companies are actually your target audience for the product? Very large companies. I mean, we have a bunch mentioned on our website. What we find is anything from educational institutions to just really large global 2 ,000 companies, where the company is originally from France, so I think at this point, we have about half of the CAC 40, the 40 largest companies in France are our customers. But really in the last six years, we've expanded outside of France considerably, so much so that US is now our largest market and we have an American CEO, which is a big development for a French company. In addition, we target service providers or MSPs, we call them. And generally, it's the same problem. Service providers are selling a product to large enterprises that is, you know, to the IT departments there that's hard to manage and they want to not only put phone numbers and telecom tools in their hands, but actually something to manage them and to save their customers' time. It's a way for service providers to differentiate. And we've actually seen a lot of growth from service providers because of this. This is the Channel Daily News. We're all about channels. Do you have a formal channel program for your organization? Yes. So for starters, I mean, we do. But let me just say this. We sell through channels pretty much every enterprise that we work with, whether they find online us directly or they come to us through a channel, ends up buying from us through a channel. So a lot of these larger enterprises do work with channels. We have a program, it's called the Kermie Advantage Partner Program or the CAP program. And it's a way to register deals, find information. There's a portal associated with it, download marketing materials. We often have promotions going around the CAP. And it really is just a way to make it easier for our growing list of partners to find resources and trade information with us. Can you elaborate a little bit more on that? And what are the actual benefits for the channels, for our channel audience? If they're listening in, what would the advantage be to work with Kermie? Basically, there's a lot of the channels we work with are already selling the kinds of technologies that we automate. So this is a way to differentiate for channels. So not only do they bring these great tools for unified communications and collaboration, but on top of that, a way to easily manage it. So oftentimes, it's a really great sort of puzzle piece fit for other deals they're already selling today. That's a really big reason. Channels also like work that requires professional services integration. So when they're working with our technology, there's usually some additional revenue from the deployment phase and from further down the line, other ways of automating workflows and expanding them. Yeah, so I mean, in general, what we hear again and again is that working with Kermie technology helps channels get other sales. So we're usually a small part of a large sale, which is that underlying UC &C technology, plus the management interfaces.

I've chosen our episode from November of 2019 on cockney rhyming slang. This is one of those silly episodes That's also packed with a lot of interesting information and I remember Chuck and I having fun making it So I hope you'll enjoy listening to it, too enjoy Welcome to stuff you should know production of I heart radio And welcome to the podcast I'm Josh Clark and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant right there. There's Jerry Roland right there So that makes this stuff. You should know right Can't top that I was trying to think a way to say welcome to the podcast in cockney rhyming slang Can you make an attempt my I'm my brain is so broken right now. I can't even try. Okay, good good Well, welcome. It's a good good time to record a show You're gonna do some cockney in here, right? We want to offend as many Londoners as we can I don't know just just channel a little Dick Van Dyke. Oh You know Yeah, the American Doing a bad cockney accent. Well, I did recently rewatch the limey Yes Casey's for benefit. Yeah, the great great movie from Steven Soderbergh. Never seen it. It's awesome. Is it really? Yeah, I mean, I know it's like a classic and everybody loves it. But I mean, it's really that good Yeah, because a lot of people liked I don't know the hangover. I Like the hangover. Well, how would you how would you like the limey and the hangover same level? Yeah, they're the same movie almost. All right, it's weird. Well, then I've seen the hangover so I don't need to see the limey Lemmy's great and Terence stamp is Awesome, and it then uses some cockney rhyming slang and one great scene My big exposure to cockney rhyming slang is lock stock in two smoking barrels Snatch. Yeah, which I think are both directed by Guy Ritchie, right? Wasn't lock stock like his first attempt and snatch was the one that like Got him married to Madonna you a fan of his yeah, I mean as much as I Like his movies, I don't like him personally necessarily cuz he like hunts bore like a jackass does it like yeah No drunk with his friends in the most like disrespectful way of murdering a pig. I admit his movies But yeah, I do like his movie sounds like he's a creep, too I'm not gonna go on record saying that but Yeah, those movies are okay and then I guess what's his name Don Cheadle a little bit in Oceans 11 sure he did a little bit of that right and I mean like It's code to Americans. It's oh, there's like a criminal a British criminal, right? That's all that means these days Yeah, I think so in movies. It's definitely Like all of those are criminal right criminal people in the movies They're like, you know kind of slick cool criminals that wear leather coats and stuff like that Not dumb criminals that wear like football jerseys or anything like that. They're like, you know smooth criminals That's I think what I was looking for. Yeah, but This this idea of associating it with cockney is not necessarily associating it with criminals. It's more associated with like Lower class working class less educated definitely not the aristocracy over in Britain yeah, or the upper class sure and that by by speaking with a cockney accent or More to the point using cockney rhyming slang you could really differentiate yourself To as a point of pride, right? Like you were speaking like your group your in -group which was at the time cockney, right? But the big surprise to all this is it's really possible and even probable that it wasn't the cockney that came up with this Rhyming slang that it was somebody else altogether. Maybe who knows should we say what it is? No Not for the rest of the podcast cockney rhyming slang Wasn't even Very clearly defined in this piece. Okay, did you think it was? It's in there. Okay, you got to just kind of separate the wheat from the chaff So it is a two -word phrase and is a slang phrase Consisting of two words so far so good where the last word of that phrase rhymes with the original word and It can be and I think the best way to do this is just to throw out a few no. No keep describing Well, the two -word phrase it can be it can be a lot of things it can be a person's name It can be just something random can be a place could be a place. It could be a lot of things it can be anything Yeah, sure. I guess it can be But shall we illustrate it through? Well, there's a second part to it. Okay, the second part and this is very important the Two -word phrase that you're using to that where the second one rhymes with the word you're actually saying Yeah, the original word the original word. Thank you Usually has nothing to do with it. There's no metaphor. There's no connection. There's no Nothing, there's no there's no context to it It's supposed to just be random or in most cases. It is just random words right one of which rhymes with the word you're replacing and To further complicate things sure In a lot of cases and no one knows why sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn't a lot of times that one of the words Of the two -word phrase is dropped. Yeah, and then you're just left with the one word Which doesn't even rhyme with the original word anymore, right? That's I mean, that's probably the best description of cockney rhyming slang anyone's ever given So I think we should illustrate it with a couple of examples. I pulled some from From something called the internet Here here's one the the tip and tete That's how long it took me to come up with that Tip and tete for internet, but in ten years, it'll just be called the tip I'm gonna log on to the tip governor So let's say your word was and this was in oceans 11 specifically trouble is the word that you're trying to say Cockney rhyming slang for trouble is Barney rubble awesome And so you would say you're making a bit of the bonnie rubble again, right when somebody that was kind of Who was that? Making a bit of bonnie rubble not the see I already did it wrong No, but I think you that's not like a real person to an American for sure. Oh, yeah Um, I can't I can't I'll shout it out. Later. Oh, man. I finally did a good one No, but it wasn't a cockney person, okay for Another example Queen They would use the term baked bean Look who's on TV. It's the baked bean And that's the Queen. I like that one or in the case of one that's been dropped What is Ed use here bees and honey? That one is not dropped for money. Okay, but which one was apples and pears right? Right, so you would say I'm gonna go up the apple and stairs Apples and pears. Oh, man Let me retake this everybody You would say I'm going to go up the apples and pears to go get my wallet to pay for this pizza Or something to that effect. Okay, but then over time people drop the pears And so now the word for stairs in cockney rhyming slang is just apples Which if you're just standing there on the outside like a normal American bloke sure, which by the way means person You have no idea why this person just called stairs apples You got what they were saying because the context is there you're going up the apples to get your wallet to pay for the pizza But why would you just say that did you did you hit your head? Is there something wrong with you? What's the problem? Why would you just call that apples? Yeah, that's why it's so confounding But the great thing about cockney rhyming slang and in particular the great thing about researching cockney rhyming slang is you learn How you get from apples to stairs and then it makes sense sometimes Yeah, that's true. It's not always. Yeah, sometimes there's It's not documented which ed points out is one of the problems sometimes you can draw the line the through line But because it's not documented and sometimes these things take years and years to morph into its final version right unless you unless you're you know on the What would you call street on the dole? No on the streets, then I wouldn't know but I don't know what streets is you can't just make stuff up like there's real words I'm the drums and beats So you're on the drums right, but they probably have a word for streets like that's the whole point You can't just make anything up, but the you could if it hasn't been taken yet sure Also, that's the other thing about cockney rhyming slang is it evolves right so old celebrities that that no one even knows about anymore Fall away to new celebrities whose name also rhyme with you know whatever word you're saying right? I thought you meant old celebrities who maybe used to talk this way like Michael Caine no He's never said any rhyming slang in his life. No of course you got to see the movie Alfie Maybe that's who it was it might have been Michael Caine. I'll take that Michael Caine. I think it was as a matter of fact Thank you, I'm glad you did it. Noel always says a good joke is to say Michael Caine in the correct accent say the words my cocaine And it sounds like Michael Caine saying it then it sounds like that the correct accent for Michael Caine all right say it my cocaine Well you just blew that one out of the water You Gotta set me up in the future Okay, well there's I've got it two ways now, man, okay, here's the thing my cocaine That's my cocaine That's pretty good Michael Caine. It is good. You're right. No. You just got to say it the right way and not like a robot Josh So here's that one of the things is sort of confounding if you want to look up a like a glossary and Say well, here's what I'm gonna. Do I'm gonna learn cockney rhyming slang so for my trip to England I'm really you know. I'm really in with everybody First of all bad idea yeah second of all it's it can be very localized Mm -hmm and the accents are all different Yeah, so even people in London sure who both who all use well people in London Do but the people who use cockney rhyming slang in London yeah might not even agree on what word is means What I'm just picturing all the people walking around England laughing their arses off. I can't wait to get to that one As we stumble through this um yeah, it had a really good Example of why there's no codification of the cockney rhyming slang He said that when people are creating a language especially informal ones like slang They don't write it all down quote dear diary referred to my house as a cat and mouse today because it rhymed We all had a good laugh might try. Just calling it cat tomorrow and see how it goes It is it sounds funny, but that's that's how it works stumbling across the diaries And here's the other thing too is there are cases where there is a little bit of a reflection of the original word and the example that it gives here is twist Yeah, like to call a woman a twist mm -hmm Which I don't know if that's derogatory or not or just some weird slang that no one uses anymore I don't think so although I don't know so yeah these are also the people who use the C word like it's nothing Man I can't wait to go back there Which we're gonna do soonish right? I'd love to do in 2020. Maybe yeah, all right So twist came from twist and twirl which meant girl which is They were talking about like dancing with a girl twisting and twirling in a nightclub Let's say so there is some connection in that one. Yeah, so girl and ended up becoming twist So that sort of makes sense there's another one called on your Todd After a guy named Todd Sloan and it means on your own Right and the thing is is like on your Todd it makes sense Sloan rhymes with own It doesn't have to have any connection, but that one actually does yeah Cuz Todd Sloan was a famous jockey in the 19th century like horse jockey. Yes, okay? What other kind is there disc jockeys? Oh, yeah, sure So his book his memoir was called Todd Sloan by himself Which is weird to refer to yourself in third person for your memoir Hmm, but there was a line in it that apparently East End East Enders in London like really picked up I was left alone by those. I never ceased to grieve for It's still like the idea of being alone or on your own Became synonymous with Todd Sloan his name just happened to rhyme with that So it's one of those rare ones where there is a connection to it and also rare Chuck in that This is a 19th century horse jockey and still today on your Todd is recognized as on your own Whereas a lot of people probably have no idea exactly who he is and when that happens That frequently that person gets moved out for potentially another celebrity or another word That's a little more understandable or recognized another new jockey two people today, right? Yeah exactly which can you name one? Nope? Nope Alright, maybe we should take a break and we'll talk about some of the other some other examples after this message In a world where modern technology is rapidly reshaping our day -to -day lives the new podcast Technically speaking an Intel podcast uncovers the remarkable ways tech is improving our livelihood across the globe brought to you by Ruby Studios from I heart media in partnership with Intel technically speaking is your passport to the forefront of AI's marvels in modern technology each episode will Take you on a riveting journey as you discover the awe -inspiring innovations of our modern world from game -changing innovations Revolutionizing early cancer detection to AI software that detects pests on crops that can be detrimental to seasonal yields tune in for Conversations that are shaping tomorrow today.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.
Telecom Reseller
A highlight from Telit Cinterion keeps Cyber-Criminals relentless search to find an IoT entry-point on susceptible technology at bay! Part 2, Podcast
"Hello, this is Don Witt with the Channel Daily News from telecom reseller. And today we had the privilege of speaking with Neil Bosworth. He is the head of vertical segments and IoT products at Telecinturium. How are you doing today, Neil? I'm fine. Thank you very much, Don. And thank you very much for having me on your, your fantastic podcast series. I, I really appreciate it. And our listeners are going to be all ears when we start talking about our IoT subject today. So let's go ahead and get started with part two of the podcast. Neil, how does remote management play into the IoT security? Maybe you can give us a little example. Yeah, I'd be happy to do that. When it comes to remote management, it's important to first understand its purpose. Unlike traditional enterprise IT systems, IoT devices are dispersed and they lack physical supervision or onsite technicians. You know, the guys in white coats that do routine tests and repairs. And these decentralized systems have multiple computational points spread across potentially vast geographical areas. In a sense, the fundamental role of IoT could be generalized as remote monitoring and control. Therefore, remote management could be seen as monitoring and control of the remote monitoring and control system, or maybe an IoT system for the IoT system, right? And clearly you can't have this never -ending loop. So it's essential to consider remote management as an integral component of the wider IoT solution. Another key consideration is the longevity of IoT systems. So while enterprise IT systems often go through hardware upgrade programs, IoT devices, especially edge devices, which is the thing, may remain in place for 10 years or more. And this poses a challenge as technology evolves rapidly and the cyber villains constantly seek new vulnerabilities. As time goes by, IoT hardware might just become outdated and this could potentially expose security risks. And furthermore, IoT devices are physically exposed. So sometimes even located in people's homes. And this opens the door for our cyber rogues to tinker with these devices and exploit their weaknesses. So remote management tools must perform supervisory and maintenance tasks, just like in corporate IT systems. However, they face the added complexity of dealing with geographic dispersion across diverse radio networks and all sorts of radio standards, and while interacting with the thing that's often a resource -constrained device. So what are the tasks that remote managements need to address in IoT systems? Well, firstly, they need to securely distribute authorized firmware updates to devices, you know, to address performance enhancements, adjustments due to network evolution and crucial security patches to address possible vulnerabilities in the edge devices. They need to detect abnormalities in the behavior of edge devices, identifying any abnormal patterns that could include potential security breaches or operational issues like weak signal strength or something like this. Then the remote management tools need to perform updates to digital identities. We're talking about the security keys and the credentials and, excuse me, doing this at scale and often in the form of digital certificates. And this ensures that the devices maintain secure access and authentication throughout their lifetime. And finally, the remote management tools need to coordinate cloud integration, allowing seamless connectivity and data exchange between the cloud and the edge devices. So managing a system comprised of multiple remote assets is a complicated task for remote management. It really must seamlessly integrate with all the various layers mentioned earlier to ensure the overall IoT system functions smoothly and securely. This is basically, you know, for organizations, they have a lot to think about. So how can they really actually ensure that the IoT network networks are secure while utilizing the remote management devices themselves? Yeah, that's great. Well, I don't know where you lived on, but the more windows or doors you have within your house to hide the risk of unauthorized intrusion, right? I'm going to start boarding them up right now. Well, I can say securing your house by breaking over all the doors and windows, it may be super secure, but clearly it's not practical. And in a similar vein, remote management in IoT introduces both opportunities and challenges. Remote management involves distributing your central system and granting access to your data. And while it's essential for keeping your IoT devices up to date and functioning optimally, it also presents a potential entry point for security threats, right? And that's why it's imperative to ensure that remote management itself is adequately protected within the broader IoT architecture. And it's important to remember that remote management is not a standalone solution. It relies on a suitable architecture system design and the configuration of the whole IoT system. So when considering an IoT solution, businesses must make a decision. Will they develop their own remote management system or invest in a third -party solution? Now, if you choose to implement your own remote management solution, it's crucial to align with established standards and incorporate security modules that's being assessed by the security ecosystem. And a popular standard for remote management is Lightway 10 to M, which provides a secure foundation based on best practices and state -of -the -art protocols.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Ministry Amid Spiritual Warfare (Eph. 6:1922)
"I am afraid that we are re -entering a season of doubt. Inflation, as you well know, is continuing to grow. It's pushing prices up in every single sector. You know very well that there was concern a couple years ago due to a virus which threatened how the church would meet. And it's beginning to look like there are similar measures returning on the horizon. And a couple of days ago, we saw that the governor of New Mexico suspended the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution within her state, stating to the press that no right is absolute, and that there are limitations on her oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Such things make us wonder how much longer the country we know will continue to exist, and whether the church, which resides here, will continue to enjoy the freedoms that we've historically held. When we watch the news and we see such things, we're tempted to feel anxious and frustrated, maybe even righteously angry, sometimes unrighteously angry, and in general just beat down with the news. And there's no doubt in my mind that Paul experienced similar emotions through the many trials which he endured throughout his ministry. But he reminds us here of what? That we're engaged in spiritual warfare. We should expect such things as spiritual forces of darkness arise against the church and against God's people. And he tells us of the enemy we face, as well as the armor that we must don if we are to stand in the day of battle. Now we've been looking at this as we've been going through this section, and as we've done so, we've noticed that there is a particular way in which we can stand. In fact, there is, in fact, an ability for us to stand. We can stand. We are able to stand. Sometimes we just need that hope that we can stand against our enemy. And how is it that we can do this? That we find the ability? Well, in verse 10, remember, he says, be strong in the Lord, not in yourself, but in the Lord, in the strength of His might. As to the armor in verses 11 and 13, we read that we must put on or take up the full armor of God. It's God's armor. It's not ours. God doesn't tell us to go out and fashion our own armor for this warfare. He is providing it for us. And since verse 12 informs us that our battle is in the spiritual realm, well, we're already seeing where our focus must be if we are to obtain victory. And consider again why this is called the armor of God. We read in verse 14 that we must gird our loins with truth. But where do we obtain truth in a world full of deception? We get it from God, from His Word. We also read that we need to wear the breastplate of righteousness. But since I have no righteousness of my own, where do I obtain it? From Jesus, that's right. We read in verse 15 that we must have our feet shod with the gospel of peace. But who offers the word of peace? Verse 16, we see that we're to take up the shield of faith. But didn't we not read previously in the book of Ephesians that faith is a gift? Yes, it's a gift from God. And in verse 17, who offers the salvation with which we can protect our heads in battle? It's the Lord. And we've seen that each one of these pieces of armor are pieces that He has in fact worn to battle in the Old Testament and elsewhere. Oh, and by the way, where's that sword that we're wielding in battle? Oh, it's right here. It's God's Word. See, this is 100 % God's armor. As such, we see why we must pray. Verse 18, the word with that starts the verse tells us that we're to take up this armor alongside of or through the action of prayer. And we must utter our petitions and prayers unto the Lord. We are not only letting the Lord know of our requests, but we are actively engaging in spiritual warfare. In fact, we are seeking to be strong in the Lord and in His might and so of course we are on our knees in prayer asking Him for such things. Going to the throne of grace for the grace that we need. As such, we also find that prayer is vital for our spiritual armor to make sure that it is fastened correctly. Now this prayer, as we now get into these verses, is to be offered for all the sakes. And in fact, at the end of verse 18, he says that. But verse 19, he adds, and pray on my behalf. And of course, the apostle Paul is one of the saints and he asks for prayer for himself as well. Why? Because the apostles' life and ministry are also embattled. And so he is praying for, or he's asking them for prayer for his ministry just as he's praying for them for their ministry. He is seeking their prayers as he is seeking to further the proclamation of the gospel message. He's practicing what he's preaching. So as we consider Paul's position, certain truths arise from his ministry that guide us today. Regardless of the state in which we find ourselves, if we are to continue calling this a ministry, let alone a church, there are then two principles which we must consider and must continue to hold. The first of these is that embattled ministry still cares for the furtherance of the gospel. We can't use the fact that we're embattled as an excuse to stop furthering the gospel. The second is this, it still cares for the people of the kingdom. It still cares for the people of the kingdom. And we're going to look at that specifically and break that down as we get to those verses. But let's first look at that, look at the fact that embattled ministry still cares for the furtherance of the kingdom. And so he says in verses 19 and 20, and pray on my behalf that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains, that in proclaiming it, I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. Paul tells the Ephesians to pray for all the saints. And as I said a moment ago, he includes himself in that. And he could have said a hundred different prayer requests perhaps for what he might need them to pray for. None of them would necessarily be wrong. For instance, he could have asked them to pray that he would be set free. And I'm sure there were Christians praying that on his behalf. He could have asked them to pray that he would be in a more healthy place than in one of those damp, cold cells that he would be residing in. They could have prayed that he would receive the gifts that people had sent to him, including food, because some of those items would sometimes get stolen by the guards or by others. He could have prayed that the Lord would give him tolerance for the smells that were surely there. They could have prayed a lot of different prayers, and he could have asked them to pray for his welfare. But what he prays for here when he prays, I mean, think about this. He says to pray that utterance would be given to him to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, that in proclaiming it, I may speak boldly. I'm sure he considered some of those other things, maybe just in passing, maybe with a little bit more weight, but he decided I'm going to put down the most important prayer request, and it's this, boldness. Boldness. He places a heart for the lost on display with such a request. And we see that he is asking that he would not shrink back in battle as he is sharing the gospel message. Now, of course, it's not that we're, well, not to pray for our needs or ask others for help. Of course, that is exactly what we should do sometimes. And we've studied that last time in verse 18. Sometimes we get to know what the saints need and we pray for those items specifically. The Lord commands us to bring our requests before him. Philippians 4, 6, let your requests be made known. And in the next verse, Paul says that he's sending Tychicus. Why? To give them more information about his circumstances. And so he is going to let them know about his issues. And in a later imprisonment, Paul in 2 Timothy 4, 13 will ask for his cloak and for other items. And so, yes, he does let them know about specific things. And so it's not wrong to ask about certain things when a ministry says, we need this, we need that. That's not necessarily a bad thing. And Paul does not consider himself above the concerns of this life. We shouldn't take away any of that from what he asks for. But Paul in writing this is asking for the most important thing in his mind. If there's one thing to pray for, pray this. The advancement of the kingdom. Pray for the advancement of the kingdom. And so he asks them to pray that he would receive utterance. Sometimes we think of utterances in these kinds of contexts as a supernatural opening of the mouth. But the apostle Paul has already been producing prophetic material in the form of this very letter. He's not asking them to pray for more inspired utterances in that kind of vein. But he is asking a prayer request which should be frequent on our lips. That the gospel would be proclaimed. And that's the kind of utterance he's praying for. Consider this, Paul's currently chained, not to a wall, but to a Roman soldier. He's not just by himself. Remember, this isn't a Christianized American prison where a true Christian detainee may speak with a corrections officer about Jesus without undue fear of persecution. This is a dank, paganized prison in the Roman Empire. Which looked down upon Christians as being backwater, uneducated, atheistic cannibals in some cases. And so Paul, who is already in a bad situation, faced the potential of a Roman soldier making his life all the worse as he is chained there for hours on end to this man. Who probably wouldn't face too many repercussions for the occasional black eye or bruised rib. And here Paul, a criminal, quote unquote, right? A criminal talking to a dutiful soldier about his sin and his need for salvation through Jesus Christ. A man, by the way, who just happened to be crucified like a criminal by the Roman Empire may not go over that well. We think of Paul as someone who's bold, but he was a man just like any of us. In fact, one of the criticisms of Paul is a false criticism. But one of the criticisms was that, oh, he's bold in his letters, but in person he's weak, he's timid. Now, I don't think that he was weak and timid in person, but he was a man. And as a man, he was given to fear and anxiety and concern just like any of the rest of us might be. Paul isn't one that we remember as being cowardly, but that's not because of any bravado or machismo on his part. He rested in the strength of the Lord and now he needs extra strength. Considering that he has zero recourse or escape if the situation sours, it's not like he can just be let out a window somewhere like in previous times. And so he asks for an open mouth here. He also prays for an open door in Colossians 4 -3. If something is to come about with all of this, with this imprisonment, with the conditions that he's in, it must be something that the Lord arranges. And that's exactly the kind of attitude we should also cultivate. We might not be in the same exact situation, but we understand the fear and concern of sharing our faith. And so we ask that the Lord would make something of our situations. And he prays that there would be a boldness to his words. See, the gospel provides us with great hope. So 2 Corinthians 3 -12 says that we should use boldness of speech. We shouldn't be questioning or timid with our proclamation. You know, when Christians speak to unbelievers, there shouldn't be any doubt or uncertainty to the truthfulness of the message that we are proclaiming. If there is, then that communicates misgivings on our part, and unbelievers will just use that as an excuse for continued unbelief. I think Jesus is the way. Oh, you're not sure? Okay, well, let me know when you're sure and then you can talk to me about it, right? Of course, the devil will assail us with concerns and doubts in the most inopportune times, which will be an attempt to try to manipulate our presentation. He'll try to tempt us to react poorly to the responses of the unbelievers to whom we speak. So Paul prays to speak the truth of the gospel in clear, unequivocal terms. And that's something that we should pray for as well. And again, Paul doesn't expect that the strength would come from within him. He rests in the Lord. Since he sees himself as an ambassador for the gospel, according to verse 20, he's also asking to properly represent his king and kingdom. This, by the way, is also a thought we should apply to ourselves, for he says in 2 Corinthians 5 -20, we are ambassadors for Christ. I think when I was in youth group many, many, many years ago, that was actually the verse that was emblazoned on the wall. Ambassadors for Christ. That's something that we should think of ourselves as. So, prayer should include, so the prayer here should include a petition that Paul would have proper, bold representation of his king. And may we also have proper, bold representation of our king. Ambassadors should represent their Lord. Now typically, if we're talking about ambassadors, we want to take that a step further. They were also treated with some respect. Traditionally, their official representations of foreign dignitaries and guests in neighboring countries to detain and incarcerate such a person would be tantamount to imprisoning the king of that land. But in an ironic twist, Paul's an ambassador in chains, incarcerated there in Rome for the sake of the gospel. Paul could have looked at his circumstances and despaired. Whenever things don't go right in life, especially when we are doing the right thing, I don't mean when we're doing the wrong thing, but when we're doing the right thing and things are still going poorly for us, we are tempted to give up on doing the good thing. But that's just part of the battle that we're going through. See, sometimes we go through struggles because we're doing good. And of course, that challenges us to reconsider why we're doing it. But we are sometimes attacked because we are Christians who are doing the right thing. We put targets on our backs. And for those honestly seeking the Lord as Paul does here, they will thankfully find that he helps his children to endure such hardships because without the Lord, we would run out of strength very quickly. And so Paul prays for an opportunity to announce the gospel. And again, he asks them to pray that in proclaiming it, he would speak boldly, which he says is how he ought to speak. Another way to consider this is that Paul prays for his own effectiveness in spiritual warfare. Again, while many of our other prayers are fine and right, we should consider whether this is ever the kind of prayer that we should pray for ourselves and for others in the church. And as we continue to grow or continue to grow in our ability to pray through the grace given to us in the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit, may our range of prayers also grow as we pray for the advancement of the kingdom. And I hope that that's something that you pray for as well, the advancement of the kingdom. Because we are going to be embattled and we're going to face many things to pray for. And I'm not saying don't pray for those other things. You can pray for those. But pray foremost for the advancement of the kingdom. Well, as we consider not only our prayers for ourselves, but also for others, we shift now to the next point. We've seen that an embattled ministry is still to care for the advancement of the kingdom. We also see in this passage that an embattled ministry still cares for the people of the kingdom. And we see that in verses 21 and 22. But that you may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you. I have sent him to you for this very purpose so that you may know about us and that he may comfort your hearts. And so he instructs Christians, of course, to pray for all Christians here. And he wants them to have a concern then for their fellow believers. That follows logically. He cares for them. He knows that the Ephesians are going to have many questions and he's going to try to answer them. He's going to send someone along who is dear to him, who can go in his stead and to give the Ephesians a detailed report so that they will know. Why does he go through that? Because he cares for them. This isn't like sending an email, guys. This isn't like sending a text message. This is going to cost some money to send someone, to fund the travel of someone back to where they are in Ephesus and to give this report. That's going to be expensive.
The Café Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from Store of Value and Proof of Work with Ben Justman, Founder of "Peony Lane Wine" - September 18th, 2023
"Hello, and welcome to the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast brought to you by Swan Bitcoin, the best way to buy and learn about Bitcoin. I'm your host, Alex Danson, and we're excited to announce that we're bringing the Cafe Bitcoin Conversations Twitter Spaces to you on this show, the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast, Monday through Friday every week. Join us as we speak to guests like Michael Saylor, Len Alden, Corey Clifston, Greg Foss, Tomer Strohle, and many others in the Bitcoin space. Also, be sure to hit that subscribe button. Make sure you get notifications when we launch a new episode. You can join us live on Twitter Spaces Monday through Friday, starting at 7 a .m. Pacific and 10 a .m. Eastern every morning to become part of the conversation yourself. Thanks again. We look forward to bringing you the best Bitcoin content daily here on the Cafe Bitcoin Podcast. All right, all right. 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.

A highlight from Telit Cinterion keeps Cyber-Criminals relentless search to find an IoT entry-point on susceptible technology at bay! Part-1, Podcast
"Hello, this is Don Witt with the Channel Daily News from telecom reseller. And today we had the privilege of speaking with Neil Bosworth. He is the head of vertical segments and IoT products at TELIT Centurion. How are you doing today, Neil? I'm fine. Thank you very much, Don. And thank you very much for having me on your fantastic podcast series. I really appreciate it and our listeners are going to be all ears when we start talking about our IoT subject today. Let's go ahead and get started with part one of the podcast. Neil, can you give our listeners a little background of yourself and where you fit in your career with your technology at TELIT Centurion? Sure. Okay. Well, my professional career began as an electronics design engineer and I used to work with wired communication products and I moved into field application engineering, which gave me first hand exposure to multiple real projects across many sectors in the electronics industry and the issues that they face. And then in the early part of the century, it sounds like such a long time ago, I discovered this thing called machine to machine communications, a term which is gradually morphed into Internet of Things or IoT, of course. And although now IoT covers multiple factors and disciplines such as connectivity, cybersecurity, cloud architecture, AI, analytics, et cetera, my focus has been really pointed towards securely connecting things portion of IoT with in the past with companies such as Arrow, I've worked with Centurion, Gemalto, and TALIS. And today I work in strategic marketing with TELIT Centurion, where we address IoT applications that really need secure and reliable communications.

We're also speaking with Frank Swindler. He is the technical director at Cardinal wireless. How are both of you doing today? Great. Thank you, Don. Great here in Indianapolis. Thank you. Let's start with Dave. Can you give our listeners a little overview of prime radio? Yeah, I'd be happy to Don. So prime radio has been around for almost three decades now and was started out by the owner of the company, you know, to develop accessories for the communications industry. And we do that to this day. We don't make the communications devices themselves, but we make a lot of enabling accessories like microphones and speakers and headsets and that kind of stuff. And lately in the last few years, of course, we're starting to merge into the cell phone or smart phone market as well. So kind of has similar requirements. Frank, can you give our listeners a little overview of Cardinal wireless? Sure, Don. We started around late 1980 as a small two -way radio dealership. And since we have grown into a well -established communication supplier here in the Midwest area, carrying a number of name brands. And we try to bring a simplified wireless for work approach to and specialize in providing efficient and cost -effective services with the highest quality of digital or analog radios we have available for the customer. The idea is to help the customer and consistently deliver the quality and professional type expertise of that they have all come to expect. Getting started with our discussions today, how have the B2B communications technologies changed over the past, say, 10 to 20 years for both of your expertises? Would you like to start off? Yeah, sure. I'd be happy to start off. So as Frank was saying, and ironically, Frank and I worked together in the early 80s. So we kind of know each other a little bit. And I used to live in Indianapolis back in those days. So we kind of have a similar background. I've been in the radio communications business my entire career. So coming up on like 50 years now. And I've only been here at the prime for the last 15 or so. So until I came here, I always worked for two -way radio manufacturers. So it's been pretty interesting from my perspective to see the evolution of the technology and its applications and its hardwares over those years. As I said, when I graduated with my engineering degree, I learned about tubes. And I've not seen any of those for a long time. So what's interesting these days, and I'm sure Frank will have more detail on this, is that the fundamentals regarding the need of communications have not really changed. But the hardware has evolved quite a bit. First of all, the purchase prices have dropped significantly, making it a lot more available to more people. And secondly, there's been a lot more enhancements added to the equipment over the years. So the equipment becomes a little more useful to the B2B customer than simply voice communications. So that's been pretty interesting to see that evolution. But it's not unlike what we've seen with other types of technologies like computers and things. What do you think, Frank? You know, I have to agree with what Dave said. That one of the three or four things I can think of, like Dave was mentioning, is the availability of products from manufacturers has opened the door for us to be able to supply equipment to our customers that will communicate in formats that might be proprietary to a particular vendor up until the advent of these available products.

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust. Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now is one of the most important investigative journalists in America. John Solomon from Just the News who also has a new shout on Real America's Voice every evening. You guys should check it out. John thank you for joining us. John walk us through the State Department emails, the memos that you've obtained and how that relates to Victor Shokin being back in the news cycle. Yeah I first interviewed Victor Shokin in the fall of 2019 and he said exactly to me what he said to Fox News last week and what is remarkable with that he's been incredibly consistent. Who's not been consistent? Joe Biden because Joe Biden has told us lots of things that have been unraveled to be untrue and some of them are big ones right. My family never got money from China. Yes it did. In fact Hunter Biden was going to plead guilty to like three, four, five, six million dollars in two years from China and not paying taxes on it. The laptop was disinformation. No it actually was a real laptop. I never talked to my son or his business partners about their business. Yes he did. He met with them at dinners, dialed into phone calls. The litany of falsehoods goes on and on but one of the enduring statements that Joe Biden has stuck to actually sustained all the way through the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump and everything since the elections and even until this year. In fact just a few weeks ago he and the Washington Post and others were continuing to utter this line was yes I did fire. I did force the firing of that Ukraine prosecutor. I did meddle in Ukraine's internal politics and yes that prosecutor was investigating my son's company Victor Shokin but I had that my decision to get rid of him had nothing to by career officials. So given his record I went out to try to find the documents to see if that was true. It turns out there was a task force. This task force was made up of career justice treasury and state department officials and the national security council and together they made a recommendation in fall 2015 that Joe Biden shouldn't withhold the billion dollars. He should give the billion dollar loan guarantee because Victor Shokin was making adequate progress on an anti -corruption reform agenda. In fact the state department sent a wonderful letter to Shokin saying you're doing a good job that came from Victoria Nuland the top state department official for Ukraine affairs. So Joe Biden wasn't carrying out policy he changed the policy and it just so happened he changed the policy in a way that met his son's problem. His son as we know from his business partner Devin Archer was being pressured to deal with Shokin to slow down or stop the investigation. Well Joe Biden effectively did that when he fired the prosecutor by withholding a billion dollars he was told by career officials he should give to Ukraine. Pretty extraordinary unraveling of a story that Adam Schiff and all the impeachment managers and Joe Biden and the Washington Post fact checker and others imposed on the American people for four years. So John connect this also with this fake email account that Joe Biden also had Robert Peters and so what's what's strange about this is that he had a fake email address and it was at PCI .gov and so right it's a fake email but it's also a government email and multiple email addresses burner phones this Biden crime family actually might be more sophisticated than we ever gave them credit for. Yeah listen I think when you hear James Comer and Jim Jordan talk now that's the point they make and I think you just made it very effectively why do you need a burner phone why do you need three fake email addresses Robinware, JRWware and Robert L Peters if you're doing everything above board why are you forwarding things from your private account that are government official documents to your son what are those I first discovered these accounts in 2021 it's my lawsuit or it's my FOIA that led to the lawsuit yesterday and the discovery that there are now 5400 emails on these private accounts that are in the possession of the national archives the archives won't release that information why they had no problem releasing Donald Trump's information right but I what's interesting about this is in the few episodes that we've been able to find emails from these accounts what is Joe Biden doing he's forwarding sensitive government information from his government account his private account his private account to his foreign business pursuing son Hunter Biden I'll give you two examples one is in may of 16 just a few months after Joe Biden succeeded in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired he has a call set up with the Ukrainian president who he pressured Petro Poroshenko that call and the scheduling of that call is sent to his son Hunter Biden who just happens to have an interest in what Petro Poroshenko did and in the country of Ukraine as he's working for Brisbane earlier there is a an embassy cable that comes out of Turkey Istanbul that tells the vice president there's about to be a secret release of a U .S. hostage a U .S. prisoner in Turkey who had long been held this is non -public information it's a sensitive moment letting this get out because Turkey may or may not do it right it's a it's a tender dry moment they want to be careful and what does Joe Biden do he forwards that information to his private account and then he sends it to his son again non -public government information has a little bit of the rings of Hillary Clinton and her private email server obviously there's some differences but Joe Biden has a Hillary Clinton problem he also has a problem with falsehoods and with clearly now getting his job by lying to the American people his last job interview during the debates all false information so so here's what doesn't make dot gov email address that's not a federal government email address that's a state of Pennsylvania email address that if you type in and it goes to like the Pennsylvania department of corrections so why does he have a Pennsylvania email address who made it for him and secondly the bear the buried lead here is that from an eeop eop ovp which means executive office the vice president the staffers obviously knew that this was the communique channel so who made a Pennsylvania based email address for a sitting vice president yeah we don't know the answer or whether that's an alias that refers to yet another account but it is clear that government officials were corresponding with it and then that account would forward at some time that and other accounts like it because there's three accounts that we identified they then get forwarded to another account so there's a lot of questions here sometimes an email address can look like something and it can be forwarding to another one we don't know the answer but the pattern is concerning why lie why have a burner phone why have uh multiple email accounts that you're doing government business on when you're trained when you first come into office you shouldn't do that uh there's something untoward and we don't know the full extent of it yet but Joe Biden's one thing we do know the story Joe Biden gave the American people during impeachment and since to get his job as president doesn't add up the fact contradicting conflict with what he's told us that's a big problem for a president heading into reelection with an already low popularity rating because of the fact that he's got a bad inflation uh bad inflationary economy uh has had major missteps on the world stage like the Afghanistan withdrawal an unpopular president with now the smell of corruption around him yeah it's very strange if you type in pci .gov then it goes to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections I mean so Joe Biden's not technically savvy enough to make his own email address so somebody made him an email anyway so if anyone out in the universe knows the story of why Joe Biden would have that he never was a senator from Pennsylvania he was a senator from Delaware he grew up in Scranton and so the private email he had was a government email address for Pennsylvania somebody has to answer for that okay so but despite all this John I want to play this piece of tape it's infuriating I think the evidence is overwhelming it's not a hard tough call let's start impeachment proceedings but Republican Don Bacon says nah I'm not convinced play cut 51.
The Breakdown
A highlight from BREAKING: Grayscale Wins Lawsuit Against SEC!
"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. Welcome back to a special late breaking episode of The Breakdown. Today we received a decision which the crypto industry has been waiting for with absolutely bated breath. At 1023 this morning, Fox Business reporter Eleanor Tarrant tweeted, Breaking, a DC Court of Appeals has granted Grayscale's petition for review to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF, and has ordered the SEC's order to be vacated. So what we're going to do today is break down what this case was about, the background and how it came to be, the immediate reactions from the community, the specifics of the decision, the immediate reactions of the community, and what happens next. To understand the context, let's actually go back in time a little bit all the way to last June, June 7, 2022. On that day, Grayscale tweeted, As we enter the final month before a response is due on our application to convert Grayscale Bitcoin trust into an ETF, we have retained Donald B. Verrilli Jr., former Solicitor General of the United States, as additional legal counsel. Grayscale continued, We want to ensure that we have the strongest possible team of legal minds ready to support our Bitcoin ETF application. Verrilli will serve as senior legal strategist. He is one of the nation's most experienced attorneys with a deep understanding of legal theory, administrative procedure, and the practical matters of working with the judiciary branch. Over the course of his career, he has argued more than 50 cases with the United States Supreme Court, including several that dealt directly with Administrative Procedure Act violations. Now, basically, what was going on is that Grayscale had filed for the ability to convert their trust into an ETF. This was their chosen way to resolve what was a huge problem at the time and what has continued to be a problem, which is the discount to net asset value that GBTC was trading at. What that means is that the value of GBTC shares was less than the value of the underlying Bitcoin held within them. That made holders of the shares underwater. And since so many people were effectively using GBTC as a proxy Bitcoin ETF, it meant that a lot of investors were simply stuck in this asset that they didn't want to be in anymore without a lot of recourse. Now, even back in June, it was clear that Grayscale was anticipating that their proposal to convert the trust into a Bitcoin ETF was going to be denied. Blockchain Association Chief Policy Officer Jake Trevinsky said as much, quote -tweeting that Grayscale tweet I just read and saying, Strong move. Grayscale means business. The SEC's deadline to approve or deny the application to convert GBTC to an ETF is July 6th. No doubt it should be approved. I don't see how the SEC survives a legal challenge if not, especially one led by Don Verrilli. Mark your calendar. Well, of course, July 6th came and went and the application was indeed denied. There were some at the time, even all the way back then, who were saying that the crypto industry needed to avail themselves of the legal system more. On March 9th, 2022, Johnny Deaton, the founder of Crypto Law US said, I've questioned why no one has sued over the denial of a Bitcoin spot ETF. Former SEC Commissioner Grunfest is dumbfounded by this as well. He said the denial is arbitrary and capricious, indefensible and the SEC would lose. Well, in October last year, Grayscale finally did exactly that and filed a lawsuit against the SEC. The lawsuit called the spot ETF rejection arbitrary, capricious and discriminatory. Now, at core to Grayscale's argument was the inconsistency of approving a Bitcoin futures ETF, or at this point, numerous Bitcoin futures ETFs, but not approving a Bitcoin spot ETF. The SEC had said its concerns were around market manipulation. But as Grayscale pointed out, the spot ETFs that had been approved and denied were using the same price feeds that fed the Bitcoin futures ETF. Presumably, if it comes to market manipulation, the issue is, of course, the price feeds themselves. And more specifically, the exchanges where the data of those prices comes from. How then could you approve a Bitcoin futures ETF that references the same price feed as a spot ETF and say that somehow there was more of a risk of market manipulation with the spot ETF, even though it was the same underlying price feed? Now, in March of this year, it seemed like Grayscale was getting some traction with those arguments. On March 7th, Coindesk published a piece, Judges expressed skepticism of SEC arguments in Grayscale Bitcoin ETF hearing. In what will be a relevant question as we see in a minute, Judge Naomi Rao asked, Now, at the time the market started to get the sense that given the judges questioning that day, the case might be moving towards a positive resolution for Grayscale and the crypto industry at large. Of course, the next thing that happened a few months later was the absolute flurry of Bitcoin ETFs. This was kicked off, most notably by BlackRock, who have been successful in 572 out of 573 ETF proposals that they've had or something like that, but included a huge number of other players who updated and refiled their applications, seeming to think that BlackRock knew something that everyone else didn't. One of the updates was that Coinbase would be specifically tasked with providing market surveillance for the proposed funds, and it appeared that those ETF issuers hoped that that surveillance sharing agreement would be sufficient for the SEC to finally reverse their decision and move on. Of course, a lot of discussion subsequent to these filings has been around the relationship between an anticipated win for Grayscale on the courts and the success of a future Bitcoin ETF filing. Well, this morning, as we said, Grayscale won. As Michael Schonenstein, the CEO of Grayscale, said, The D .C. Circuit ruled in favor of Grayscale in our lawsuit challenging the SEC's decision to deny GBTC's conversion to an ETF. The response from the industry was immediate. Rodrigo, who does legal and policy at Paradigm, writes, The great thing about the American political system is that it's designed to curtail administrative overreach. In the face of an intransigent SEC, the courts will ensure crypto has a future in the U .S. Brown -Rudnick partner Stephen Paley writes, The D .C. Circuit Court of Appeals holds that the SEC acted in an arbitrary and capricious way in denying Grayscale's proposed Bitcoin fund. This is a hard standard to meet. It's the court telling the SEC that it had no basis for the decision and just made it up. Now, looking at the decision specifically, Judge Rao wrote, It is a fundamental principle of administrative law that agencies must treat like cases alike. The Securities and Exchange Commission recently approved the trading of two Bitcoin futures funds on national exchanges, but denied approval of Grayscale's Bitcoin fund. Petitioning for review of the Commission's denial order, Grayscale maintains its proposed Bitcoin exchange -traded product, is materially similar to Bitcoin futures exchange -traded products, and should have been approved to trade on NYSE ARCA. We agree. The denial of Grayscale's proposal was arbitrary and capricious, because the Commission failed to explain its different treatment of similar products. We therefore grant Grayscale's petition and vacate the order. Now, one of the things that people noted is that the court kind of didn't pull any punches when it came to telling the SEC why they were wrong. As Nick Carter summed up, The D .C. Circuit Court just called the SEC utter casuals and told them to get good, adding skill -issued TBH. The relevant section of the decision, The Commission neither disputed Grayscale's evidence that the spot in futures markets for Bitcoin are 99 .9 % correlated, nor suggested that market inefficiencies or other factors would undermine the correlation. The Commission faults Grayscale for failing to provide other types of evidence. Without further explanation, however, the Commission's assertion that Information in the record for this filing does not support the claim that any fraud or manipulation in the underlying spot market will affect both products in the same way is unreasonable. And here's the real money shot. The Commission's unexplained discounting of the obvious financial and mathematical relationship between the spot and futures markets falls short of the standard for reasoned decision -making. From a previous court decision, it would be presumably arbitrary and capricious to ignore an obvious fact. So what does this not mean? And this is really important. This does not mean that Grayscale Bitcoin Trust will be automatically converting into an ETF. Now, I think most people in the crypto industry aren't getting this wrong, but a lot of people who are passively observing and a lot of people who are perhaps on the fringes in this industry and not paying tons of attention to it might be getting that information from headlines that are if not outright wrong at least a little bit vague. What this means is that Grayscale's petition needs to be reconsidered alongside the other ETFs once again and that the SEC's reasoning that they provided at least in this case would not stand. Now, what this also doesn't mean is that a Bitcoin ETF is guaranteed. The court ruled that in this particular case, the SEC's reasoning was arbitrary and capricious. Not that there is no way for an ETF to be sensibly denied by the SEC, just that the way they denied this one wasn't it. Jay Chervinsky once again did a good sum -up thread of this. He writes, Grayscale's victory over the SEC is massive. It's very rare for a federal circuit court to find that an agency has violated the APA by acting arbitrarily and capriciously. The DC Circuit just delivered a huge embarrassment for the SEC, but the ETF isn't approved yet. The DC Circuit Court soundly rejected the SEC's view that Grayscale's ETF proposal was not, designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices. The SEC has spent a full decade denying spot Bitcoin ETF proposals under this reasoning. That era has now come to an end. But the court didn't order the SEC to approve Grayscale's ETF proposal. It just said that the SEC's analysis on the fraud and manipulation issue was wrong. Now the SEC has to go back and review Grayscale's proposal again, with the court's ruling in mind. What will the SEC do? One theory is that the SEC will just pick a different reason to deny Grayscale's proposal and force more long and costly litigation. That's possible. It's hard to understate the extreme hostility of SEC leadership towards crypto. Will Sher Gensler really accept this loss? But another theory is that the SEC will take the DC Circuit's decision as a semi -graceful exit from their anti -ETF position. I'm in this camp. It's the right move. We disagree, but we're following the rule of law is a convenient excuse to back out of a losing battle. There will be political pressure on the SEC to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs. This isn't just about Grayscale. All of TradFi is ready for a Bitcoin ETF. Many other issuers have proposed ETFs this year, including BlackRock, and Larry Fink throws heavy punches in DC. Sher Gensler can also spin up a face -saving narrative out of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval. The SEC has been getting blasted for its regulation by enforcement approach to crypto. Here's a chance to say, look, we aren't anti -crypto. We're willing to approve the right products. I have no doubt that we'll get a spot Bitcoin ETF sooner or later. The only question is if the SEC wants to make it more painful for itself. Trust me, if there's another denial, there will be another lawsuit. I strongly recommend the SEC picks sooner. So that we will call the Sophisticated Nuance Complex Correct Analysis. But for the sake of completeness, we also have to look over at Scoopy, who tweets the mid -twit meme with the agonized crying guy in the middle of the bell curve saying, it's not a victory. It's only a middle step in getting the SEC to review their ETF application. And the genius on the moron on either side of the bell curve saying, Grayscale won, send it. And send it the markets did. Bitcoin jumped about $1 ,000 or 3 .8 % in the moments after the announcement. At the time of recording, Bitcoin was actually up about 5 % and GBTC was up even more, up about 17%. What's more, as Rich Rosenblum from GSR points out, while this Grayscale news may have been the catalyst, Chartists would argue the Bitcoin pop was overdue as fresh shorts got exhausted at the bottom of the recent range and capitulated. Now, when it comes to what's next, there are still a lot of people who are GBTC holders, who are in a semi -battle with Grayscale, trying to force them to redeem. David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine writes, Our number one goal with Redeemed GBTC is to reduce the discount to NAV and bring relief for investors. Today's decision is an initial victory for shareholders, but we will not stop our efforts until the discount is eliminated. We now need next steps and a firm timeline from Grayscale. Ryan Selkis from Masari echoes this but puts it in more political terms. He writes, Never forget, the U .S. courts protected retail investors while the SEC held them hostage and hurt them to the tune of billions of dollars. The SEC is an illegitimate institution with a corrupt leader. It took the courts to rule that the SEC stick to its mission and rules. Selkis also tweeted, Now is a perfect time to remind the president that his absolute chump of an SEC chair, Gary Gensler, is losing him votes and embarrassing him in court. Corrupt, inept and embarrassing is no way to run a financial regulator. Now, lest you think this is just tough talk from someone on Twitter, Selkis and many others in the crypto industry are determined to make crypto a losing political issue for people on the other side in this coming election cycle. And while the industry may be down right now, there is still a lot of capital and appetite to bring that fight to the elected politicians. Caitlin Long writes, Still shocked at how Biden administration's hatred of anything crypto drove it to poor judgment, now boomeranging back on it in courts. Better to have worked with law -abiding players. This was their choice. Courts curbing federal agencies' power impacts far more than crypto. I think what's clear is that opposing the Bitcoin spot ETF at this point is just a losing issue. Even Cass Piazzi, who is a co -host of the Crypto Critics Pod, which admittedly I think is one of the more good faith and thoughtful critiques of the industry, tweets, Skeptics and critics are not going to like me saying this, but I believe the Grayscale ETF will be approved. I also see no real issue with the spot Bitcoin ETF. But at the end of the day, when it comes to what to feel right now and what the industry is feeling, Anthony Zassano nails it when he writes the ETF promised land awaits us friends. Just try not to blow yourselves up doing something stupid before the party really gets going next year. And maybe the best summary comes from Will Clemente, who writes, This is one of the biggest days for Bitcoin in its history. We are so effing back. That is going to do it for today's breakdown. Until tomorrow, be safe and save some change for the Bitcoin ETF. Peace.

"So that's just a taste of giddy gov taking on You pollock or you can hear polychrome. Join him At the end So my first pandemic concert experience was fun if a bit surreal. There was something about not seeing people's mouths right. Part of the fun of these things is singing along in the crowd and it's kind of hard to do the audience. Sing along thing behind masks But i'm glad. I got a great concert like that in during the past jewish year. And here's too many more in the coming one. Oh that's wonderful Yeah you'd apollo. Kerr was his big break. Was playing for giddy. Govan in nineteen eighty. That's how we and then he goes most popular record. The songs were all written by you to parker. They've been yeah they've been intertwined for as long as you still not used to. You still not used to that though. You're not used to go of singing. I mean i'm talking about the hits right that you know it's beautiful so on the first night of russia era of russia's and i left the horizon rush as soon as we said the last words of last prayer skipping khitish schmoozing because the boy was waiting at home and i wanted to be with him in the new year. Which i'm a new happy new year. So i i was walking alone down jabotinsky at what may be eight at night in the evening and it was quiet. I mean it was weirdly. Quiet jabotinsky was empty of cars. And after i turned onto giving bureau i looked down the street behind me all the way past hall and there wasn't a car to be seen ahead of me all the way to the bridge in the park. There wasn't a single headlight. Coming towards me. it was uncanny. Sometimes if you stay up really late or get up really early. Streets are quiet. But i don't think like this on yom kippur. Of course there are no cars. Because it's yom kippur. And because on yom kippur our cars. The streets are magical and because the streets are magical. They're filled with throngs of people biking and talking and revelling in sometimes. Teenagers lie down on the pavement in the middle of the street. Just because they can and this was not that this was quiet. I don't remember the city ever being this quiet at a time when everyone's up and in fact there were people on the sidewalk. It wasn't that the city was completely deserted. It was just that it was well. You know quiet. What i figured is on rosh hashanah in part of town anyway. Lots of people most everyone probably goes to someone for rush dinner. Lots of younger people go to their parents and lots of parents go to their young people and some people go to friends and maybe most of these dinners start at maybe seven or seven thirty or eight. So that the moment that i was rushing home was just the moment when lots of people most everyone probably we're getting tucked away about the have a rocha meal instead of going up north out boulevard like i usually do. I crossed over even year-old partly for the pleasure of being able to cut across the abandoned street without waiting too late and i walked through the neighborhoods on the smaller residential streets. And they're from most every apartment building you could hear people talking and laughing and clinking glasses. And sometimes i heard people singing deuce or saying new every so often i pass someone in a hurry or maybe a couple or some adults and kids together and most of them were holding something in front of them salad in tupperware or cake or maybe they were swinging a bottle of wine. It's neck near their hip. When i cut over north our car drove by. Finally it was the first car that i'd seen and then another in the other direction. But when i got the dizengoff. I looked in both directions and again. There was not a headlight. As far as i could see at the posh bar on the corner of these engulfing nor dou- double standard. It's called someone was setting up the tables outside. I guess for the after dinner crowd that would come later. And when i walked the dog a few hours later after dinner the streets were in fact crowded and noisy again and there were cars everywhere at allow dance party on the roof of the building across the way and double standard was packed. But for that moment what. There were were the muffled sounds of people around dinner tables and people dashing to join them as i was myself and that for me was how the new year started and that brings us the end of our show. Thanks to meet. Ashkenazi are genius researcher conciliatory and scholar not in residents whom we eagerly hope. We'll find his way into the book of life. Thanks to shell them are station manager.

We're going to answer and we hope that you get britain in the book of life then go to apple podcast and give us a five star review. Maybe when the begins with this. When god told abraham to sacrifice his beloved son isaac request that was cruel and then newman and too painful almost contemplate abraham agreed without hesitation. And if i ask you. Listen to the promise podcasts. Shouldn't you do it if only out of identification with the biblical patriarch data that. Finish that any way you want before you do that. Remember that today as we record. September ninth twenty. Twenty one is international sadako day so stipulated back in two thousand thirteen by wpf the world puzzle federation which also sponsors the wpf sonoko grand prix. The finals of which this year were held in germany just last month opposite the tokyo olympics. Which for some reason got lots more attention unfairly. Obviously but then it's all political and how you're gonna compete against jackson. Spandex throwing things tossing each other to the ground vaulting poles over polls and such while the doco. Rules explicitly outlawed the use. Even scissors tape. Compasses rulers of course calculators. The whole thing makes you of mad anyhow so doco scholars disagree about when where and by whom sonoko was invented. There seems to be a consensus that it was not japanese in origin. Some scholars trace the first sadako back to puzzles called magic squares first published in eighteen ninety two in the paris daily last others attribute the invention of the puzzle to our garns of connersville indiana in the us who published a game. He called number place in the del puzzle. Magazine in nineteen seventy nine. The puzzle was introduced in japan by machi codgy in april of nineteen eighty-four and became a great hit eventually spreading back to the rest of the world gaining in popularity such that the world puzzle federation board decided eight years ago to propose to the world puzzle foundation. General assembly simulating september. Ninth is international. So don't go gay. And the general assembly approved the resolution by the way the chairman and leading light of the wpf has at least for the last decade been. Can you guess it. Alison the chairman of the world. Puzzle will shortz. Obviously it's a puzzle. It'd be a puzzle but in fact it's wilshire. It's because is there anything that that guy can't do so do i really need to say that. International said day may be my favorite day of the year. What with learning the history of sonoko and reading about the great heroes of sonoko doing about breaking the guinness world record set by two hundred students in two thousand eighteen. Who solvay multilevel sonoko puzzle comprising tour. Eighty interlocking standards did oko grids. And of course. God that's my worst nightmare sitting down and adding columns and rows and i am not blind. I know that just like the british army forbade flight attendants from doing sonoko up in the air. Because it's so does caused them to neglect their passengers. Sadako day will be gone just like that. Not return for a whole 'nother year. Not so the promise podcasts. We will be back next week and every week leading you when you listen every so often to stop all at once and say wait a minute. Why is it that. I think when i'm doing this that i am not just flat out wasting my time on this. The promised podcasts..

"To do if you call the 1 800, you know, customer service line. I'm plucking plucking chickens. You tried. Yeah, that too. So like, if what you're supposed to do is just, you know started. Turn it off. Turn it back on. And if that doesn't work, then you unplug it. Wait like 30 seconds Looking back in, So I just, you know, turn it off. Turn it back on. And voila! I am an engineer. Are you? No, not even close to it. So now that that's out of the way, How the hell do you and Chlo think that this is vacation week or whatever. We're not the only ones Who else thinks thinks that this is vacation week, and I thought it was Todd Todd across that it was we all were just never talked to Todd Cross about my vacation. Okay, Point is, we all usually usually the way that that works is I sent an email to don, don may or may not get it. If he does get it, then he may or may not let Todd No. I never actually talked directly to Todd Frost about because he has too much on his plate. He doesn't need to worry about my vacation. The man works too hard. Well, Todd was aware Todd Todd is under the impression that this week was vacation week. Because usually are we get that impression because you and Chloe told him what? We were already planning things like this Clone I and Anna Hall. We're all planning for a vacation because You know, uh To our credit. You will have a tendency and we as a show have a tendency to kind of plan R. Events around national holidays or August days off Memorial Day. Being yesterday begins. Exactly Yeah, sort of maximize time off, So it's well within our M O. Have a vacation like Let's say the week after Fourth of July of the week after Memorial Day, the week after Labor Day, something like that. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And roughly 2 to 3. Weeks of Christmas. Yes, that's our standard operating procedure. So when I was talking to you earlier today, you're like, Oh, yeah. I can't wait to tell you about this on the show today. And my response was Excuse me today show today show what? What's What's this show thing? Okay, we'll get back to that in a second, but So everything you just told me was that you and Chloe assumed we're off this week because it's you know, around the time of when we would normally take some time off, right? Well, you had already submitted a vacation request to at some point. But going clone I'd like three weeks ago for next week. I don't recall seeing a tattoo being marked on anything. Therefore, how point I think I'm just gonna have to start doing some graffiti tagging around the office. So you and cloak and seeds like, OK, Vacation week here and then it doesn't just work. You know me, too. You guys, It's gotta be, You know, it's got to go around the round table. So it's like when you guys were gonna be gone. You can graffiti it on the wall. It's like Alfie out. You know, whatever time Chlo ventures to Florida like he did a couple weeks ago. That way, we're all aware So it is like I know. I told Chlo verbally many times. That I'd be gone on vacation the week of the seventh because My wife's birthday is the eighth and it's a milestone birthday and we're doing lots of exciting things for it. And Would not be there that week, so not only does it seem to me that you know Khloe didn't listen or retain anything I told him But you guys also don't know when my wife's birthday is and that hurts. When's the last time we were invited the terrorist birthday? Every single year, except last year because we because we gave up lies I actually don't think I've ever know on Are you telling me? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Hold on. Are you telling me that all of your summer parties have actually secretly been terrorist birthday parties in disguise? Um not not really. So, uh, we didn't want our like are we would we would do it somewhere Pull party, but she didn't want it to be about her birthday. She just wanted people to come over and, you know, swim and have fun. See how we do so we Cause I tell you about those things and then and then Alfie, you don't go, especially to the pool party because it's outside side, right? Chlo would occasionally come and, you know, stick his feet in the pool have, you know, drink half a bottle of vodka or just take it with him when he left, So I'm gonna have to pull out the back up because I know clothes going to run off with half my stuff, so I have to hide Extras. By the way, I thought you said you're going to take vacation through the seventh. No starting on the seventh. The seventh was the key point in close mind. Yeah. The seventies, thinking our dance back and I thought that you were gonna you know, like, Alfie said, Like used the holiday weekend. It kind of expand the vacation. Uh, sometimes we would do that. And if terrorists birthday fell, you know This week, then absolutely I would have done that. But instead you know, we're trying to, you know, maximize the vacation in a different way this year, which is, you know, for her birthday. So no, we're not on vacation this week, and, uh Healthy. I'm sorry. I don't know if you want me to not bring this up or not, And I'm frankly, I don't care at this point. Are you dripping? Yes, because I was talking to you Look wet. I am wet. My hair is soaking like I can feel my headphones soaking in the damn water. Because because I turned out of looking briefly. I was like, okay. Either Alfie's got so glow in his hair or he's wet and I'm pretty sure you're wearing a robe and it looks like one side's more wet than the other..

Mums and i've always been they young dad and sometimes as been an older dad and the well being treated as a young dead in some cases not so often in some cases a young black dead creates a lot of angst inside of meeks kind of like hemmed out and moms will be talking in. There is no opportunity to you know. Because i can jump into the socal without any prompting that kinda personnel by is gonna sit on the outskirts. Someone gives me a look. I'm like hi wave. But all the looks like the kind of thing and so i got used to kind of find. I'll figure out myself figure out myself. And then sivy overtime. Gut the symptoms in in rachel's fathers booked so i reached out to him and then he actually started the ball rolling. And he sent savvy to a specialist. The royal children's hospital by this time. I knew threats because he was ticking. And checking and sleeping two hours at a time and then waking up because of a taking when i was like hell like literally feels like a child's being possessed by something because you can't. You can't foretell when it's gonna come. You can't predict you can't stop it. Unanimous gonna go for your now intense is going to be you. Don't know which buddy positive move for how long she constantly in a state of anxieties waiting and waiting and when it happens. You're waiting and waiting waiting game. So i've cried so many times holding him in bed of cried myself to sleep because i'm just so sad that my child i can't relieve his his pain or his. This thing you know and then went to a specialist of the revenues roy. Marriage the royal children's hospital. He was diagnosed with Deion ocd last. 'cause his mother is always tried to warn these things even though his now in my k. Fulltime he sees his mom whenever so she's welcomed. Coming grabbed in is feeling well or has the time and feeling motivated despite our issues. I never wanted to limit our access to our son. Her son to her so yeah and now five years later for his late almost five obscenities. Managing is ticks fairly well side. Note to go down medication. Because i feel brain. Chemistry will dwell needs to do. He's able to walk play and laugh and everything else except now way kind of go. This will end. You know. it's like we've had them so many times it's happened. Sometimes we make fun of some of the ticks provided he's chila. Sometimes he'll do on his that. Did you hear i did. I went to comes back interesting. Because i'm like i did. It was made music to some of sticks proselytizing how to communicate with people it not to be shy to help you have threats involuntary and should understand what that means. Don't sneeze don't blink inside his school. I speak to school every year for this class. I sit them down. And i give them a bunch of real life scenarios to make them understand what is going through but also give them coping mechanisms in case they're unable to cope with what sivvy's going through so and then i offer teaches options to to help his education. I created as open communication channels. I can with. This teaches us out of the support he needs. He needs to be treated like any other child. So is special but also not special. We don't live on the predication that he has a disability is differently able and one of the analogies that i with other parents who have kids to reds is. You've got to kind of make like a superpower thing you know with him especially its scenario to and i tell him that he's full of the spirit in this energy and his buddy sometimes difficult to contain that energy and we love comex so there's so many analogies can use their where superheroes of funding difficult to contain their energy and their bhadra explode and the recent avengers the in the gauntlet and being able to the hammer. That's really been good for us and for me to kind of rationalize that notions every time it comes up you sit out. If i don't exhaust this i'll expose.

"Accountable Mark when I heard it when I heard the words, you know, hustle stats. I thought of I've been on the floor for loose balls getting deflections and s O man, this it sounds awesome. We did an evaluation for Wichita State, and one of their evaluations was the closed out with high hands. So close out. Get the elections right. It was against UCF. They struggle along they were only about a 56% hustle rate. With high hand close outs. Then with treatments to go, they're down by five. They go the full court pressure package and they went to 80% immediately. They jumped 80% high hands. They got a couple turnovers came back, got the game in overtime when five more minutes 80% rate of high hands and won the game. It's not necessarily about if you score points, and that's the whole point of this. Players tend to look at the stat sheet. I don't care about the statute. I care about how hard you play because the statute that will take care of itself and we've seen that time and time again with players. Including one player over Miami but literally morphed overnight into an offensive rebounding machine simply because he went to the offensive glass. He listened what focus shared with him, and then he went out and did it. And it just was a great success story. Mark Adams, ESPN college basketball analyst and Mark You know I seek in sag.

You know how many other the big budget conferences hold have four teams that hold opponents that 30% or less from 30? In fact? There are zero number of teams in those league leagues that hold their post 30% or less. The American is a nasty, dirty, dingy defense of Oh, you got me right over run into that pothole because you're going to go into you to go out of alignment real quick. That's why I love Houston. And that's why I love the American. Because it is a blue collar lunch pail. It Z. Not a wine and cheese can trumpet conference it zoom or of a beer in Pressel, Cincinnati Chili and Memphis BBQ, and that's where I love to bake.
