Jared Asch Asks Loella Haskew and Cindy Darling: Is "Measure O" Working?
"Let's get local and talk about Walnut Creek for a minute. It's been about a year since we've the people of Walnut Creek have voted in Measure O. Talk to us. It's an additional sales tax to provide benefits for the city. Is it working and what are we doing with the money? What are the priorities? Start Cindy Ann and you can fill in the gaps. Yeah. OK. So the first thing we did to promise the community is to find an oversight group so that they look at what we've done to make sure that we live up to our promises of what we and we were going to do when we started the Measure O process. Interestingly enough, when I first ran in 2012 or 2011, I ran on a half cent sales tax increase and I got the more votes than I ever did since then. I think there were a group of people who knew that we weren't quite we needed a little extra oomph in our spending. We've done some additions at the police department. We've made some spending for attracting more people downtown where we're doing things, a lot of things in and around it. But the biggest project is the one that Cindy Darling is working on. And so I'm going to let her take over. One of the reasons I ran for council is it's important for a community. My kids loved growing up in Walnut Creek. They swam, they played Little League, they played this, they played that, they did this art class. And a lot of the facilities that they were accessing were built back in the 50s and 60s. And we all know things that were built in the 50s and 60s are now starting to fall apart. And we need to pay it forward to the next generation. And that was a big driver on Measure O. The Clark Swim Center and Heather Farm is one bad accident away from its pumps not ever running again. So we are working on a new community center and a new aquatic center to carry on the traditions in Walnut Creek. And that was one of the bigger drivers of Measure O. We are in the planning phase right now and we have a lot of active, robust public input coming into the process. We have a survey out. You can go to the city councils with the city's website and take a survey on what you want out of that community center, what you want out of the aquatics facility. And we're going to be working to get it so it's up and operational by 2027 and it's going to be cool. Yeah. And there's there's some concern over the money from Measure O coming up on the ballot. Do you I don't want to take up too much time going into every detail on it, but can you talk about what is coming up in 2024 and what impact that might have on Measure O as well as a number of other regional measures? There are two things to be addressed by the population. The first one is how many votes do we need to do to get permission to have an additional sales tax? If we go out for a specific purpose right now, you need two thirds of a vote of a community and it's incredibly difficult to get that. If you go out for a general measure, you only need to get 50 % plus one vote. There is a measure being brought forth by a business council that wants to remove so much freedom with what we local people can do with taxes. And so they want to make every vote a sixty thirds vote. And the thing that is most concerning to us because of our position is they can claw back a vote that happened in 2022 and say you have to run it again and get the two thirds vote. So so we're nervous about the business one. And we're also thinking it's 10 % of people will vote no on any thing that has money to do with money. And that's in order to get 65%. You've got to work really hard. And so a lot of cities don't have the capacity to get important things done because they can't get out there and get this full measure of voters to pay attention.

According to the top ETF analysts will also be discussing spot Bitcoin ETFs have almost 100 million dollars in assets under management in Brazil, led by the Hashdex offering. Also in today's show, billionaire Peter Thiel, he predicts Bitcoin to 100x to $4 million per coin. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market. All this plus so much more in today's show. Yo, what's good crypto fam? This is first and foremost a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at kryptonewsalerts.net. Again, that's crypto news alerts.net. Today is podcast episode number 1476. I'm your host JV. And today is November 29th, 2023. Just one more day of Moonvember until we hit December. And you already know January, we got some ETF deadlines. And then April, the block subsidy halving for 2024 is going to be lit, to say the least. But let's kick it off as we do each and every day with our market watch. You should be able to see coin 360 on your screen. It shows you Bitcoin and the rest of the alts are currently correcting and in the red, but maintaining around the 38,000 level, just shy, currently sitting at 37,882. Yesterday, we almost recested the local high for past 18 months, which is 38.5. We hit about 38.3 and then we got pushed back down under 38. We have ether still trading above 2000 as XRP, Cardano and BNB are all correcting and in the red and checking out coinmarketcap.com. The current crypto market cap sits at $1.42 trillion with 55 billion in volume in the past 24 hours up 20%. And the Bitcoin dominance is at 52.1% with the ether dominance at 17.2%. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, we have iota massively leading the pack of 54% on the day trading just under 27 cents, followed by terra classic USD up 22% trading at 5.4 cents, followed by block stacks of 5% trading just under 75 cents. Now which altcoins if any, are you most bullish on for this bull run? Please let me know in the bubbles so we can see a broader perspective of the current altcoin market. You can see the majority of the alts are correcting and in the red, but iota is blowing up 54%. And zooming out for the weekly, we got more in the green, clearly the majority and some nice gains as well. And if we zoom out for the month, virtually everything is in the green with pretty substantial gains, even ftt scam coin up 208% and only a handful in the red, which includes hex, ehex and Bitcoin cash. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index, one of my favorite indicators, it shows we're currently rated a 72, which is greed. Yesterday was a 68, last week a 62, and last month a 68 in greed. So there you have it, my crypto fam. How many of you are let me know. And with that being shared, let's check out the Bitcoin price action. We call that, what do we say here? That's astrology for men. So let's break this down, check out the charts where the Bitcoin price action is likely to go next. Right here, Bitcoin shrank back from resistance after the November 29th Wall Street open as the US GDP figures beat expectations. Right here, you're looking at the Bitcoin one hour candle chart. Now data from Cointelegraph followed a familiar Bitcoin price retracement on the short timeframes. The bulls had managed to propel the market above 38,000 the day prior. I think we hit 38 three only to flip flop around that level before ultimately dropping as the US macro data hit. This showed quarter three GDP accelerating beyond the anticipated levels coming in at 5.2% versus 4.9%. This renewed concerns over how the Federal Reserve might handle policy ahead of an interest rates decision in mid-December, quoting the Kibisi letter here. 5.2% is the final reading. It will mark the highest GDP growth since quarter four of 2022. Now can the Fed achieve a soft landing? What are your thoughts, fam? Let me know. Kibisi referenced words from Bill Ackman, the CEO and founder of hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, who the day prior had gone on record to predict the Fed rate pivot as soon as quarter one 2024. Quoting him here, yesterday, Bill Ackman bet on a hard landing with rate cuts beginning in quarter one. Now currently, futures don't see rate cuts beginning until June of 2024. And according to data from the CME Group's FedWatch tool, it showed marginally increasing bets on a further hike in December following the GDP release with further key data due November 30th, which is tomorrow, Thursday. The odds of a hike stood at 4.2% at the time of this recording. Now, meanwhile, analysts continue acting in a familiar style from the recent days as far as the price action. Bulls still failed to crack a key resistance beginning at 38.5. That's the line in the sand we need to smash, and then we're heading onwards and upwards just FYI. Despite some being confident that an assault on 40,000 would ultimately result, no HH or breakout confirmation yet referring to a higher high, eyeing a sweep of 37.3 area and a higher low setup for the higher high. According to popular trader Sku, as he shares here on X Bitcoin with the four hour chart, no higher higher breakout confirmation yet, eyeing a sweeping of 37.3 area and a higher low setup for the higher high. Let me know if you agree or disagree. And we also have Dan Crypto Trade suggesting a period of flatter Bitcoin price performance could now enter before a fresh bout of upside volatility. Quoting Dan here, price took out some liquidity above and below. Would not surprise me to see some more sideways chop for both sides to build up more positions before the next bigger move. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the sentiment. And I potential downside opportunities. Crypto analysts, me, Calvin, a pop flag, they range between thirty three and thirty five thousand, which is a popular zone based upon the liquidity. Quitting the analysts here. Markets are consolidating, giving opportunities. Still no breakout. A Bitcoin above thirty eight thousand. If we continue to make higher lows, higher highs, a breakout seems to be happening soon. Structure loss buying at thirty three to thirty five thousand. So there you have it. My crypto fam. Let me know if you agree or disagree with this sentiment from the analysts. I also like to point out, like clockwork, the mystery whale adds an additional six hundred and twelve point five Bitcoin to their balance this morning for a total of eleven thousand five BTC. And a quick shout out to Krista Donnelly. I appreciate you sending your very first super chat ever and supporting the show. It means a lot. So massive shout out. Appreciate the love, my fam. But back here, as you can see, this is the sixth straight day of adding over five hundred BTC. So who is this mystery whale? Who do you think, fam? And oddly enough, in the middle of last night, they added a single TX of thirty eight hundred and seventeen cents for a dollar forty five. So what's up with this mystery? Let me know. Could this be a massive institution such as a BlackRock buying Bitcoin? Let me know what your thoughts are. And also check this out. Major news. Shout out to Samson Mao, the president of Colombia, met with Samson Mao and Jan three to discuss how Colombia can adopt Bitcoin. Let's freaking go. You already know how massive this would be. I've actually lived in Colombia. I lived in Medellin for six months, a few years back, and I had a great time there. I think this would be massive for adoption of Bitcoin. Clearly, you got Samson Mao making some moves, helping usher in this Bitcoin adoption. He's working with some of the leaders in Mexico and in Africa and all around the world, making big moves. So let's go. In which country do you feel will likely adopt Bitcoin next as the legal tender? Could it be Argentina? Could it be Brazil? May it be Colombia? What are your thoughts, fam? Let me know. Also, breaking news. Asset manager Panda joins the Bitcoin spot ETF line, filing with the SEC today. Now, Panda is a firm out of Texas, and this makes application number 13, and they are on the back of the line. So Mr. Gary Gensler, when are we going to get some clarity? When are we going to get these ETFs approved? There are so many just awaiting, and he's the only man standing in the way. And quoting the high priest of Bitcoin, the one and only Max Keiser, Bukele Nomics forges a path forward for states who also embrace a Bitcoin standard. It has got radical transparency and accountability, also recognizes the benefits of subsidizing and maintaining the public domain. And if you haven't watched the new interview, well, it's not necessarily an interview, but it's a speech of Bukele. It's very, very powerful. And he's basically saying he's going to be focusing on his new campaign running for president 2024 in El Salvador, and basically saying that nobody can be crooked within his party because he is clearly a good president, not crooked. He's not taking money or stealing money like a lot of politicians do, and he doesn't want anyone represented in his party to do so either. Otherwise it would tarnish his image. So he said the attorney general and the forces that be are going to be looking into everybody who is a part of his party because they will not tolerate it. So you got to give respect where respect is due. Shout out to Bukele and the beautiful people of El Salvador. Breaking news, Charlie Munger, the man who infamously called Bitcoin rat poison squared is officially dead. That's right. He died at age 99. Let's break this down. Check this out. Here we go. Charlie Munger, the longtime business partner and right hand man of Warren Buffett and vice chairman of the multinational holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, died at the age of 99. And what's ironic, he would have been 100 just in like another month in January. The company announced just that was yesterday. Munger's proclamations, much like Buffett's, were often eminently quotable takedowns about investments and few assets raise his eerie like Bitcoin, quoting him here. I think it's rat poison, he famously said all the way back in 2013 when Bitcoin was worth 150 bucks. And when asked to five years later when Bitcoin was trading at 9000, he said it is more expensive rat poison. And when pressed on the returns, some Bitcoin investors were able to make, he called them idiot booms that harm the United States. Now, we all know he was like one of the biggest, if not the biggest Bitcoin troll. Berkshire Hathaway annual meetings were often called Woodstock for capitalists and putting Munger and Buffett on stage was a top draw and asking about crypto was a reliable way to get them to use colorful language. That's right, putting him here in my life. I try to avoid things that are stupid and evil and maybe look bad in comparison with somebody else. He said in 2018, Bitcoin does all three. Shout out to Lee. I greatly appreciate that super chat. Let me read your comment out loud. Bitcoin maxi here, dollar cost averaging since 2017, but everyone knows about Bitcoin. So I've been spreading the word about Jesus coin. God bless your family, friends, mods and subs. Thank you, fam. I greatly appreciate you supporting the channel. Much love, much respect. Back to Munger, quitting him again. It's stupid because it is very likely to go to zero. It's evil because it undermines the Federal Reserve System. That is the most hilarious comment I have ever heard. And third, it makes us look foolish compared to the communist leader in China. What's up with that? Now, Xi Jinping was smart enough to ban Bitcoin in China. We're a lot dumber, said Charlie Munger. I mean, you got to laugh at all this at the end of the day. Three years later, Munger was still fuming, quoting him again. I just think the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization, he said early 2022, comparing crypto to a venereal disease, deeming it beneath contempt for Christ's sake. Now, obviously, you took this personal. Even at 99 years old, he mustered more fiery condemnation at the Daily Journal Corporation annual meeting earlier in the year, quoting him again. Sometimes I call it crypto crapple. Sometimes I call it, well, crypto-ish, he said, going on to use the term a half a dozen times during the course of the conversation. It's ridiculous that anyone would buy this stuff. It is asinine. It is not slightly stupid. It's massively stupid. It's very dangerous. The governments were totally wrong to permit it. I am not proud of my country for allowing this crypto-ish. It's worthless. It's no good. It's crazy. It'll do nothing but harm. Now, very interesting. It's not that the government permitted it. It's because the government can't stop it. It's free speech. It's protected by our First Amendment right. Just saying. Now, while Munger's attacks ruffled crypto backers, his candor was lost along part of Berkshire's offering investment wisdom almost as quotable as the Oracle of Omaha himself. Berkshire Hathaway said Munger died peacefully in a California hospital. Buffett paid tribute to Munger's inspiration, wisdom and participation in building Berkshire into a conglomerate it is today. So there you have it. What are your thoughts on the passing of Charlie Munger? Are you going to miss him? Are you going to miss his rants against Bitcoin? Are you glad he perished? I'm just curious. Whatever your thoughts are, I'll read them out loud. Appreciate it. But anyways, fam, let's dive into our next story of the day. Now that we broke down the latest with Munger passing, let's discuss this new decentralized mining project with Jack Dorsey. And I saw some pictures with Jack and Max and Stacey just the other day. So let's break down the latest of what's going on here. Twitter co-founder and Bitcoin advocate Jack Dorsey is back in a new Bitcoin mining pool to help the miners regain control of the block rewards and transaction fees. Dorsey led a 6.2 million seed round for Mamolin, the parent company of the new decentralized Bitcoin mining pool called Ocean. According to the announcement today, November 29th, the seed funding will support the launch of Ocean, which is designed to decentralize and reshape the process of Bitcoin mining. The mining pool specifically aims to provide more mining process transparency and enable the miners to receive block rewards directly from Bitcoin rather than from the Bitcoin mining pools. Interesting. Now, Luke Deschir, Mamolin's co-founder and longtime Bitcoin core developer, believes that the role of the mining pools must change for Bitcoin to exist as a truly decentralized currency. Quitting him here, Ocean is a new type of pool that enables the miners to be truly miners again. We are launching at the most transparent pool and also the only non-custodial pool where miners are the recipients of the new block rewards directly from Bitcoin. Now, Mamolin co-founder and President Marc Artemikov stressed that traditional Bitcoin mining pools take exclusive custody of the block rewards and the transaction fees before distributing them amongst the miners. This gives them the ability to withhold payment from individual miners, whether by their own choice or by legal requirement. And quoting him again, Ocean's non-custodial payouts directly to the miners from the block reward remove this risk and the pool's undue influence over the miners. So committed Ocean supporters of Dorsey, they're confident that the platform will solve the problem of further centralization of pools and mining pools that could plague BTC. Quitting him here, when I see a project that is good for Bitcoin broadly and that's also good for me and my companies personally, it becomes a simple decision for me and I am happy to be a part of it. So there you have it. The launch of Ocean was announced at the Future of the Bitcoin Mining Conference in the shadows of Barefoot Mining's 150-year-old hydroelectric dam in rural South Carolina. Now Barefoot Mining, the first client of Ocean, has fully repurposed the dam, converting excess energy to Bitcoin mining at scale. Now Ocean's launch comes 139 days before Bitcoin's fourth halving, expected to occur April 17th, 2024, roughly five months out, cannot wait. After the halving, the current six and a quarter mining reward per block will drop to 3.125 BTC, significantly decreasing the incentives for the Bitcoin miners. So there you have it. What are your thoughts on this decentralized mining project with Jack Dorsey? And how many of you have any experience mining Bitcoin? Please do let me know, fam. And are you pretty ecstatic for the halving? How many will be your very first halving? Is this going to be your second, third, fourth halving? Please do let me know. And with that being shared, let's break down the latest of what's happening with these Bitcoin ETFs, shall we? Apparently, we got the green light to go in January, so let's break this down. Bitcoin Spot Exchange traded funds in the United States now have the clear runway to potential simultaneous approvals after an advanced decision to delay the bids of Franklin Templeton and Hashdex ETFs, according to analysts. And a November 28th post-Bloomberg ETF analyst, James Safart, said the US SEC delayed its decision on the applications 34 days earlier than January 1st's 2024 decision deadline. The SEC requested comments on forms by Franklin Templeton and Hashdex that are necessary for the ETFs to eventually be listed to begin trading. The comment and rebuttal period will last for 35 days. Now, Safart and his colleague, Eric Balchunes, placed 90% odds on Spot Bitcoin ETF approvals by January 10th, 2024. What is that? Roughly 45 days out, so mark that date in your calendar, fam. And the twin delays all but confirms for me that this was likely a move to line every applicant for potential approval by January 10th, 2024 deadline, according to the expert himself. Now, Balchunes agreed post into X that the SEC was probably looking to get them out of the way, clearing the runway, quitting him here. Update, wow, the SEC went super early on Franklin. They weren't due for another decision until January 1st. Notably, Franklin is the only issuer who didn't submit an updated S1 yet. Wonder if that will have any impact here. And you can see the second deadline being January 1st of 2024 for Franklin. Now, scrolling down a little bit more, he also said probably looking to get them out of the way, specifically to clear the runway. And commercial litigator Joe Carlessar thinks the delays increase the probability of a March 2024 approval as the comment period for Franklin's ETF bid was extended till January 3rd of next year. And the SEC typically takes a maximum of three weeks to review the comments. Quitting Joe here on X, the Franklin Bitcoin spot ETF comment period now extends until January 3rd. The SEC typically reviews comments for at least two to three weeks. Therefore, although it's not guaranteed, this increases the probability of a March approval. January is still likely the favorite, though. So there you have it. Let me know in the live chat. There is a live poll right now. When do you feel we get the green light for the ETF approvals? Please do let me know. Cast your vote. Now, January is still his favorite, later estimating it to happen January 5th or the 8th. Now, on November 28th, Franklin also submitted an updated Form S-1 for its ETF, a document registering their securities with the SEC. And after Safart had earlier highlighted, it was the only bidder yet to submit an updated prospectus. And reacting to the filing, Balchuna said he is in favor of letting all the ETFs launch simultaneously. It seems kind of unfair that Franklin might be allowed to launch its ETF the same day as other providers, despite submitting the form months later. And he makes a great point there. So let me know your thoughts. He also shared, while I'm generally in favor of letting them launch at the same time, Franklin jumped in so late versus these others, like five months after ARK filed, yet they may be able to launch the same day. Seems unfair. Now, there's currently, now officially 13, because there was a new one just added today, as I shared with you earlier, ETFs sitting on the desk of the chairman, Gary Gensler, including bids from Grayscale and BlackRock, most have final decision dates in March besides ARK's invest bid with the SEC, which must approve or deny by January 10th of 2024. So there you have it. My crypto fam, when do you feel they're likely to give us the green light? When do you think the ETFs will finally launch? And how do you think this will likely impact the Bitcoin price action? Let's now dive into our next story of the day. We discussed the Spot ETFs in the United States. Now let's discuss the Spot ETFs in Brazil, shall we? Check this out. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have almost 100 million already in assets or in management in Brazil, led by Hashdex. Let's go. As investors continue to await the approval of the Spot ETF in the United States, a check of Brazil finds hefty demand for such vehicles, which have been trading in the country for more than two years. Together, those ETFs have $96.8 million of assets under management as of November 21st, led by Hashdex's Nasdaq Bitcoin reference price, FDI, with $57.8 million as of November 21st, or a market share of roughly 60%. And that comparison, the largest ETF in the nation, iShares, has $2.41 billion in assets under management and is the second largest. The iShares small cap has $1.19 billion and for reference, the largest US ETF has roughly $430 billion in assets under management. So according to Marcelo, the CEO and founder of Hashdex, the success of Bitcoin ETFs in Brazil is the result of the pro-market digital asset regulation and growing interest from large institutions for said products. Quoting them here, there is a growing positive sentiment across the most sophisticated investors and we have been seeing increasing interest from some largest institutions, whether they be either allocating or considering adding crypto soon to their portfolios, said Sam Xiao in an interview with CoinDesk. Hashdex spot Bitcoin ETFs started trading August 1st of 2021. Like, whoa, they've had a spot for that long. Crazy. I mean, Gary, clearly you're doing something wrong, bro. Just saying. Hashdex also offers a crypto index ETF that includes Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptos and which garners a lot more investment than the spot Bitcoin ETF. Now combined Hashdex's crypto related ETF assets under management is currently sitting at roughly $500 million. That's half a billion. Hashdex is also amongst those with outstanding applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs with the US SEC. The agency, as it's done with other applicants as of late last week, delayed any decision on the Hashdex filing. Other spot Bitcoin ETF providers in Brazil include ITAL, the asset management, which teamed up with Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital to launch a fund last year and an offering from QR Capital, which launched in 2021, has $36 million in assets under management. According to the data from Hashdex, there has traditionally been a lot of interest in crypto ETFs from the Brazilian public, said Silva, a managing partner of Tagus Capital, and the number of investors in digital asset ETFs will only continue to grow. That's right. Let's go. There are about 4 million investors with accounts at the B3 stock exchange in Brazil and around 700,000 of these invest in ETFs. About one third of those investors allocated funds to crypto ETFs just last year. So a reason for a strong appetite in ETF investing in Brazil might be due to the low fees. According to Silva, ETF fees in Brazil range from a half a percent to one and a half percent, which is considerably low compared to the other products in the market. So there you have it, my crypto fam, Brazil. Let's go. Do you think Brazil can potentially adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender? Let me know your thoughts as there has been a lot of talk about that. But now let's break down our feature story today. Billionaire investor Peter Thiel and one of the original PayPal founders. He predicts Bitcoin to 100x to $4 million per coin. In fact, he was one of the keynote speakers at the Bitcoin Miami conference in 2022. How many of you were at that conference? I was there with my brother. It was pretty lit. There was probably over 20,000 people in the audience. We had a lot of Bitcoin influencers there. You even had Serena Williams, Frances Ngannou, you name it. It was pretty awesome to say the least. But anyways, let's break down this major story. And then I'm going to be sharing a little bonus prediction from you from Michael Saylor predicting Bitcoin reaching $5 million per coin. And if we have time, I'll even throw in a Cathie Wood update prediction as well about Bitcoin hitting $1.48 million per coin, which is her bullish scenario. But first and foremost, billionaire PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel shared the list of enemies stopping Bitcoin from rising 100x. This was last year while speaking at the Bitcoin 2022 conference of Miami, Florida. Quoting him here, the enemies list is a list of people who I think are stopping Bitcoin. There is a lot of them. They tend to have nameless faceless bureaucratic perspectives, which of course is one of the ways in which they hide. Now check it, he said, we are going to try to expose them and realize that this is sort of what we have to fight for for Bitcoin to go up 10x or 100x from here. Now FYI, at the time he gave the speech, Bitcoin was hovering just above 40,000, probably close to the $42,000 level. So 100x from the time he made the prediction would mean a $4 million plus Bitcoin price action. Now the central banks are going bankrupt. We are at the end of the fiat money regime. Preach. The first person on the list is Berkshire Hathaway CEO, Warren Buffett. Thiel put up a picture of Buffett with two of his most famous quotes about Bitcoin, rat poison, and I don't own any and I never will. He opined, I think the sociopathic grandpa of Omaha, that's the best name by the way, is perhaps the most honest and most direct in it. Thiel further noted Buffett has a bias that makes him long on the fiat money system and money managers who follow Berkshire Hathaway's executive advice will pretend it's complicated to invest into Bitcoin. Now the next person on the list of Bitcoin enemies is the infamous JPMorgan Chase CEO, Jamie the tapeworm diamond. Thiel put diamonds picture up with the following quote, I don't call them cryptocurrencies. I call them crypto tokens because currencies have rules of law behind them, central banks and tax with authorities. Now Jamie Dimon also once called Bitcoin a pet rock and threatened any of his employees at JP Morgan would be fired for trading Bitcoin and that same week he was purchasing over 400 million worth of Bitcoin for his trading desk. So listen to none of these fools, they know what's up. They understand the power of Bitcoin, but they're just here to deceive you. The next picture he put up, you may find this interesting, is the BlackRock CEO, Mr. Lawrence aka Larry Fink with the following quote, I see huge opportunities in a digitized crypto blockchain related currency and that's where I think this is going. Now, interestingly enough, Larry Fink is the CEO of the largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock. He once called Bitcoin an index for money laundering. He was heavily anti Bitcoin and anti crypto, but now he has changed his stance, complete 180, embracing Bitcoin and looking to launch their own Bitcoin ETF as well as an Ethereum ETF. Now next up, here's what he shared. The PayPal co-founder added that Fink's quote is somewhat representative of the whole genre of Bitcoin attacks that need further context, stating that pro blockchain is an anti Bitcoin term, very typically feel them brought up environmental, social and governance standards, elaborating the label they've come up with and perhaps the real enemy is ESG. I think that ESG is just a hate factory. We all know they were pumping that massive FUD. Even Elon was buying into this narrative, right? Would stop accepting Bitcoin payments to buy Teslas, right? He stressed, you can always ask the questions, what's the difference between ESG and CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. When you think ESG, you should be thinking CCP. So much respect to Thiel for calling them out on this. You got to have balls. It is the finance gentocracy that runs the country through whatever silly virtual signaling hate factory to them like ESG that they have, the billionaire concluded. This is what I would call and what you have to think of as a revolutionary youth movement. And we have to just go out from this conference and take over the world. So there you have it. Now I must also share Peter Thiel dumped the majority of his Bitcoin position at the height, roughly at around the time of the conference, because that's what I read. So I just wanted to share that to be 100% transparent. Now for Michael Saylor. Saylor revealed three catalysts recently, which will take the Bitcoin price, the 5 million per coin. Here are the three catalysts. Spot Bitcoin ETF approval, which is inevitable. Again, 90% likelihood we get the approval in January. Then number two, banks custody and lend against Bitcoin as collateral, which we all know is coming soon. And number three, fair value accounting rules, which have already been approved. So there you have it. This alone, those three factors can send Bitcoin to 5 million per coin, but let's dive down a little deeper quoting Michael Saylor from an interview I transcribed and shared here on X that got a lot of retweets and a lot of love. So I think you guys will like it. I think there are only three things relevant right now. And here are those three things that having is coming with 100% certainty facts. And as far as I can see, most of the Bitcoin in the market is the Bitcoin miners that have to sell in order to pay their electricity bills and pay their debt expenses as well as their operating expenses. So that amount of selling pressure is going to be cut in half in a few months. So we know that's coming. And then we know there's a spot Bitcoin ETF coming. And when that comes, we plug into wall street and the entire banking system. And then finally the fair value accounting is coming. And when that happens, the objective will all go away. Now you're going to introduce this as a conversation into hundreds of boardrooms. They will not move in a week. They move quarterly, but over the course of 12 quarters, you'll start to see company after company looking at this, and you'll start to see a reallocation of assets. At the end of the day, corporations only hold two assets. They hold cash and they hold bonds. And so a Bitcoin is available as an asset para pursue to a bond. Then you'll see a reallocation from bonds and into Bitcoin. And then in the institutional investor side, you've got all these people holding real estate, holding commodities, holding gold, holding ETF and SPF SP indexes, the light. And as so we start to reallocate and they will 1%, 2% and then 5%. Then you're going to have something that has never happened in the history of the world, which is you got an ETF on a commodity that is scarce. Every other ETF in the world is on an asset that is not scarce. It's inflationary facts. You can go to make more buildings. You can make more real estate. You can make more gold. You can make more commodities. You can make $4 billion worth of any of those things. The underlying producers produce more of the asset or deflate or to depreciate the price. But with Bitcoin, with $100 billion of flows into the Bitcoin spot ETF, there won't be any ability for any producer to produce any more Bitcoin. And so you really can't compare it to the spot and ETF of gold because gold is an inflationary asset and you can't compare it to an ETF on real estate or on bonds or on equity. You really have to say this is the first time we've ever plugged Wall Street into an asset you cannot produce any more of. That's right. This will actually represent true price discovery in an ETF market for the first time in human history. And this is such a big deal. That's why we're entering unprecedented times, fam. And so nobody knows what will happen, except that if the reason from first principles, you know that it's actually going to perform better than all the other asset ETFs, because the underlying fundamentals are just better. But let me lay out three possible ways to invest in Bitcoin. One, if you buy Bitcoin, the underlying asset, which is what most of us do. We self custody our crypto. That's no brainer. The second, you buy the spot ETF, or the third, you buy micro strategy. OK, we talked about the headaches buying Bitcoin, the underlying asset. You can do it on a crypto exchange. You can put the place of parallel custody, compliance, compensation, control systems, so that the challenge of that. But the closest thing and the most compelling idea for a plain vanilla Bitcoin investment of an institutional investor is to buy the spot ETF. You'll be getting one to one correlation, meaning they actually have to hold on their balance sheet the Bitcoin as an underlying asset, whereas with futures markets, they don't hold any of the Bitcoin. It's all paper derivatives, weapons of mass destruction. Just saying. So for one million, you're getting in one million range of Bitcoin. What's the positive? It's marginal. It's good collateral. I can buy in a second with no money down. I don't need to build the parallel custody control compensation system. So all of my problems are handled by Wall Street. What's the cost? That's 50 to 100 basis points per year. OK, so if I charge you one percent per year over the course of 20 years, over the course of your lifetime, it kind of means I take 20 percent of the money you invested at one percent. So do note that if you invest for the long haul into a spot ETF over the long haul, they're taking 20 percent of your investment. That's a lot right now. There is a cost. 50 basis points means I get 10 percent of your money approximately. But having said it all, I would pay you 50 to 100 basis points in order to be plugged into Wall Street. It's not a problem. It's a lot better than the alternative, which is to rebuild all their systems and then finance themselves. So micro strategy is not that micro strategy you can think of as a levered, long Bitcoin company that pays you a yield. Listen up. OK, so I'm not going to call it an ETF because we're not a financial company, but we have four point four billion dollars plus of Bitcoin and two billion plus worth a debt. Shout out to zero. I appreciate that. Super chat fam. Much love. So what we have done is we have levered the balance sheet with debt that costs us about one and a half percent of interest. So micro strategy takes advantage of its positions as an operating company to do something that an ETF cannot do. An ETF can't issue junk bonds. An ETF can't issue convertible bonds. An ETF can't do like an ATM like we could do. And an ETF can't buy Bitcoin with cash flows. We have a lot of flexibility as an operating company and we don't charge that fee. We have four and a half billion a Bitcoin, but we don't charge 45 million per year. So the real idea here is what if I created an investment vehicle that paid you a yield instead of charging you a fee? Well, that's possibility with micro strategy. And what if I was able to borrow money at one and a half percent interest? I borrowed a billion dollars at zero percent interest and bought Bitcoin with it. Hey, how do we get the Michael Saylor deal? How do we borrow a billion dollars at zero percent interest and just buy all the Bitcoin in the world? I want that deal. Wouldn't you guys? Let me know. Let's give you a theoretical. If you get a two percent yield instead of paying a one percent fee, it's a 60 percent difference over the lifetime of your asset. So if you have a billion dollars invested and you're getting a two percent yield, you're actually picking up 20 million a year instead of paying 10 million a year. So the dynamic of the company is very important. So you can imagine that if I don't charge you a fee and if I don't have cheap leverage, the stock, the benefit accrues to the common stock shareholders. Because I went and I borrowed two point two billion at one and a half percent interest and I bought Bitcoin with it. So what's the logical theoretical yield of Bitcoin? Is it more than one and a half percent a year? Well, let's say it's 15 percent a year. Then we're scraping 14 percent positive yield off of the debt. And so that would be 14 percent of a billion dollars or more, which is actually 14 percent, a two point two billion. So that would be 300 million a year. That accrues to the benefit of the common stock shareholders. You see, this is the benefit of being your operating company. We can every quarter choose what to do. So some quarters we would issue junk bonds, other quarters we would issue convertible bonds, other quarters we would sell the equity, other quarters we just use our own cash. So the answer is there's always going to be a good market and there's always going to be a bad market. There are things you should do and there are things you shouldn't do. So MicroStrategy, to make a long story short, is a bit more complicated than a spot ETF, right? If you want something plain vanilla and simple, that should basically correlate one to one to Bitcoin after you pay the fee, then you buy the spot ETF. But if you wanted to actually try to outperform Bitcoin, like MicroStrategy outperformed Bitcoin, our performance over the course of three years is higher than Bitcoin's performance. So if you want to outperform Bitcoin or outperform the spot ETF, you would do that by creative financings. Like for example, if our stock trades at a 30% premium and the underlying assets will sell a billion dollars of equity, equity will actually capture 300 million of accretion to our shareholders. So there you have it coming directly from Michael Saylor. And don't forget to check out cryptonewsalerts.net for the full premium experience with video and to participate in our live Q &A.

Capstone Conversation
Capstone's Jared Asch Welcomes Loella Haskew and Cindy Darling of Walnut Creek
"Jared Esch, the host of The Capstone Conversation. Today, we are joined by not one, but two awesome women from the city of Walnut Creek. And we are going to hear about what inspired them to run for city council. What are some things that they want to encourage in other candidates who are considering to run or not to run as you make the decision ahead of next year's elections? And that applies to people throughout the whole East Bay area. That's not just here in Walnut Creek. So hopefully their message will resonate with people throughout. So first thing we will do, Mayor Pro Tem Luella Haskiw, do you want to go ahead and tell us a little bit more about yourself? In my career, I was a CPA specializing in tax, but I also did family law consulting and other business consulting. And I was inspired to run for a couple of reasons, one of which is I was close to many of the people who were on council and I just absorbed a lot of what they could accomplish by talking to them and watching them work. But also, I believe that we were going into an interesting economic cycle and maybe somebody who had my experience would be a good addition to the council. And our next guest is Councilwoman Cindy Darling. Cindy, tell us a little bit about your background and what convinced you to run. Well, I'm one of the newest members of the council. I was elected in 2020. Before that, I'd served 10 years on the planning commission for Walnut Creek. So I'd seen a lot of the issues that were working in the development end of things kind of bubbling up that were going to council. And I was interested in having a bigger voice on those than you just have a planning commission. I'm also a small business owner here in the city, and I spent most of my career working on really tough, naughty environmental problems around the Delta endangered species. And I felt like I developed a lot of skills there in helping people work together and solve problems creatively. And I wanted to take those skills and bring them to the council and help move Walnut Creek in a great direction. That's great. I appreciate that. Luella, you've been mayor two times, including 2020 during the start of the pandemic. Pandemic issues, businesses shutting down and then lots of looting here in Walnut Creek. What was it like to be mayor during that time? Can I say that the first round was was sweet. I really enjoyed the first time when it wasn't quite so stressful. But I will say about 2020, whenever I've talked to anybody who have had been mayor in Walnut Creek the last year to have been assigned a job with mayor, there were so many issues. We had a police shooting that was under scrutiny. We had looting. And I'm not even sure anybody knows to this hour what triggered the big looting that was at Broadway Plaza. It could have just been the gangs that were beginning to form and take over other places. But we forgot about Walnut Creek has some really nice high end stores to do. And then they all came. I don't think it had anything to do with the political choice. Nevertheless, it was incredibly damaging to the people who were at Broadway Plaza and it didn't stop there. Other people were involved in it. I make a joke about the fact that when George Floyd had been killed and people were really involved in making protests, a whole group of people showed up at nine o 'clock at night on a Wednesday and had a riot in our front yard doing a significant amount of damage to our garage doors, burning flags, scaring the bejeebers out of our neighbors. The police did call us and say, get out of the house. So we were safe, but it was an ugly experience for the neighborhood trying to find the best of the worst. We did have to buy a new garage door and we now have a battery pack up. And then I made it onto the news the next day. So good spads, but it was tough and the fiscal issues were tough. We started out with anticipating a comfortable excess budget. It turned out that when everything had to close up, sales tax went away and then we had to figure out what to do about that. And we got lucky that we came upon the pop -ups, the restaurant pop -ups, and we tried every way we could to save all the businesses, did away with our now famous parking meters and let people park. There weren't that many people using the parking meters. And so it was a very difficult time. Nevertheless, a sense of proportion, a great council, a great staff got the city through probably one of the most difficult years the city had to survive.
Dear Chiefs Podcast
A Young Fire Spouse's Journey With Her Husband's Cancer Diagnosis
"A few episodes back we sat down with Diane Carter and she shared her story of her husband's line of duty, panther diagnosis, and her relentless pursuit of making turnouts safe and just exploring PFAS and all that fun stuff about exposure in the workplace. If you haven't listened to that podcast, we definitely recommend it. And today we actually have another first responder spouse, Brittany San Pedro with us to share her story about her husband's line of duty cancer diagnosis. Brittany, welcome. Thank you for having me. Brittany San Pedro is a speech therapist assistant, wife to a firefighter and a mom. She has been with her husband for 10 years and has an 18 month old and another one on the way. In late October of 2019, Brittany's husband at the age of 30 and 10 years into his career noticed a small lump on his collarbone. After several tests, he was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was the first line of duty cancer diagnosis in the history of Greeley fire department. Since then, many changes to screening and early detection have been made as a department. As a result, several malignant polyps, skin samples and ultrasound readings have potentially saved the lives of other firefighters within the department. Today, Brittany is sharing her story to help anyone who may feel alone or scared, especially after a health diagnosis. She also wants to encourage change and promote the importance of regular screenings and early detection. Okay. So tell us your story a little bit, the whole thing. We want to hear it. My husband came home one day and just kind of mentioned like, Hey, I got out of the shower at work and I just noticed I had a bump on my collarbone. And he's like, you know, I haven't had my yearly physical. I'm going to go in, have it checked out. And you know, none of us, we weren't really worried. And we were just kind of like, okay, he has a bump. We're going to go check it out. And his general practitioner ran blood work and then started him on antibiotics thinking it was just an infection. His body was fighting something and blood work came back fine. It didn't go down with the antibiotics. At that point, they did an X -ray. Everything looked fine. The blood work looks fine. And his general practitioner asked him what he did for a living. And you know, you fill out that survey, you tell him what you do. And he's like, you know what? We're going to, we're going to keep going. We're going to keep looking. If you're fine with that. You're a firefighter. It just makes me sit better if I, if I keep digging a little bit. And he kept going in for appointments. He then got an ultrasound done. After the ultrasound, he scheduled an appointment for a biopsy to have it looked at. And at this point we hadn't even heard the word cancer yet. I at the time was a special education teacher at a school across the street from the hospital where he was having the biopsy done. He texted me and let me know he was going in. He was super nervous. I let my co -teacher know, Hey, my husband doesn't usually have his feelings out like that. And lets me know that he's there. He's like, that's fine. Go. I ran across the street and he went back. Everything was fine. He came back out and then he just had this look on his face that I'll never forget his eyes started welling up with tears. And I guess the doctor who performed the doctor tech who performed the biopsy, you know, before his doctor had a chance to say anything told him, yeah, this is pretty typical for lymphoma. And both of us were just kind of like, what is happening? What's going on? We were hit by a bus. We didn't even know that this is something that they were looking for. And we called our closest friends, our little mini fire family. And we were like, Hey, we need support tonight. And in a minute, everybody was together at one of our friends house and everybody was just talking trash about the guy who stepped out of his scope of practice and said some things he maybe shouldn't have. And we were like, it's not going to happen. He's too young. He's healthy. There's no way. So a couple of days went by, we got a phone call saying that the doctor wanted us to come in, even though it was his day off and usually not a great sign. So we were a little nervous going in. And then when we sat down, he let us know that they, they did find it to be Hodgkin's lymphoma and that they needed to start figuring out what stage he was at coming up with a plan, trying to figure out everything. And we were both strong until they asked us, you know, are you guys, you guys are young. You guys just got married, just bought a house. Like you, are you guys wanting to start a family at some point? And I just started bawling because I already knew what was coming. And he said, I recommend that you reach out to a fertility specialist, if that's something that you would want to do. And you start reaching out to all your resources. And we did, after that, he started chemo in like less than a week. It was probably like four or five days. And he had chemo, he had it on Christmas. He had it, like he started in November, had it for about six months and then took a little bit of a break and then started radiation. And then after he went through radiation, his end date was March 14th, 2020. And then right after that, the next day the world shut down, but it was just, you know, for us, it was just amazing because he never, we never went to an appointment alone. It was just such a somber time. We were just had this dark cloud of stress and not knowing and anything. And at the same time when it was so dark, such a beautiful thing, because we had the department bringing rigs and down we packed that cancer center and, you know, we had some of his best friends, like his best man and another Lieutenant was there at every single one of his chemo appointments. And, you know, everybody kind of band together for him. It was kind of, it was a beautiful thing to see everybody supporting each other and making sure that he was never alone. You know, the Terry Farrell Fund reached out right away. You know, they did a cut it for cancer for him. It was just something that they hadn't ever experienced before at the, this department. And we were, we were just kind of overwhelmed with all the support that we had,
Dear Chiefs Podcast
Brittney Sampedro on Husband's Line-of-Duty Cancer Diagnosis in Colorado
"So lymphoma is a very common cancer in the fire service, right? I did a little deep dive, maybe not super deep dive, but I definitely looked at some of the statistics for firefighters specifically. It's crazy. If you ever research it, which I'm sure you probably did at this point, the female firefighters, I did not know how like a 600 % increased risk of breast cancer. That's wild. Wow. And then firefighters have obviously a significant increased risk of cancer as they progress throughout their career. So at the 20 year mark, gets a little more at the 30 year mark, it gets a little more. So cancer is not uncommon in the fire service at all. But you said that the department specifically would never say for certain that it was because of his exposures to chemicals on the job or their gear containing the PFOAS. So was he eligible for any kind of benefit or anything from job related cancer? It's not covered under like a workman's comp type of thing. Colorado has something called the Colorado Cancer Trust. So it's departments that elect to put money into an account that say like, there's an eligibility criteria. He had been a firefighter at that point in 2019 for 10 years. So he was eligible to say like, yes, he's had enough exposure to have been at risk to have this type of cancer that is known or more common for firefighters. So lymphoma was on there. I know testicular cancer is a big one too for men. I didn't know breast cancer for women, but there is an eligibility criteria. They don't come out and say that this is work related. And the department and the everybody who works for Greeley Fire was amazing. They all covered his shifts. So he was able to go through treatment. He had to step offline for a while. And then when the pandemic hit, he kind of was forced to sit at a desk for a little bit just because his immunity was still really low. But I don't even think that there was something written out that like, what happens if a firefighter has cancer? It was just kind of like the guys, everybody at the department banding together and being like, I got your shift. I got your next shift. And they got it all figured out for us. But there was never like a, like, this is work related is workman's comp. It's a, it's a work related issue. It was kind of a separate, you know, like having the cancer trust and then having the Terry Farrell fund reach out to, knowing that it could be a job related cancer. So Colorado is not a presumptive cancer state then. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. And it's crazy to me that in 2023, after all of these studies that there are States that don't have that presumptive cancer legislation. It blows my mind.

Movie Marathons (MM #4633)
"I realize the way we watch television has changed a lot over recent years, and it's all because of the streaming services. But I really think they overdid things over the holiday weekend, where a lot of the channels were running marathons of holiday movies. I know a lot of it was TBS and TNT, but they ran 24 -hour straight versions of Elf and Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story, and I know I'm forgetting a few, but a lot of Christmas programming over the Thanksgiving weekend. Now, I understand why they do this. In years past, marathons were kind of left to the days when people weren't really watching. For example, Christmas Story has been running a marathon every Christmas Eve to Christmas Day for decades now. But it looks like we're going to be seeing more of that because we can watch Christmas Story year -round now. We can watch any movie, any TV show, year -round. People aren't watching cable TV or the TV networks quite as much, so they're looking for ways to get people excited. It's easy, it's cheap. How many more times can you watch a Christmas Story, Elf, or even Christmas Vacation? Just a matter of time for some channels or 24 -hour marathons all the time.

Democrats Are Threatening Israel's Very Survival
"You know it's interesting when israel one it's independence the state of israel and people get confused with that and how how long the jewish people have been there the jewish people have been there for four thousand years but the modern state of israel the establishment of the state of israel it was proclaimed on may 14 1948 within a few hours president truman issued from the white house a statement that said the states united government recognized the provisional government as the de facto authority the new state of israel two days later the soviet union followed with a formal recognition to an exchange of letters by stalin's right -hand man stoff and should talk the foreign minister of israel and it said confirm your receipt of your telegram on may 16 in which you inform the government of the ussr of the proclamation on the basis of the revolution of the united nations resolution november 1947 of the creation of alzheimer the independent state of israel make requests for the recognition of state of by the ussr i inform you in this letter that the government of the ussr has decided to recognize officially the state of israel and its provisional government so today's so two days later the soviet union recognizes israel and from that moment until 1967 formal diplomatic relations but seven diplomatic relations were broken off and weren't resumed until 1991 one the . also israel's closest ally the state of israel was established was not the united states it was france. france was israel's closest ally and it's believed that france provided israel with certain technological information to enable them to build atomic weapons it was france. eisenhower was a little chilly toward israel at least at the toward the end by the despite what some israeli officials are saying at the highest levels in even worse than obama even though obama's acolytes are surrounding biden in instituting their ideological agenda the fact is you can see since obama's presidency that the demographics of the country enhance the demographics of the democrat party have significantly changed. there's more islamists operating under the umbrella of the democrat and receiving tenure and receiving student visas and all the rest of it than during the obama administration and exist big time now and being funded by billionaires and they're being lost network and others

The Mainstream Media's Plot to Destroy America Exposed
"Republic. That's us. The media doesn't want you to talk about a United States first policy because they're interested in nothing more than a globalist open borders world where everybody can take advantage of the United States and dismantle capitalism and bring their socialist ideas here. It's the whole Soros type plan. That's why they're always pushing for open borders. It's not an accident. It's why the talked Democrats endlessly about demographic destiny. Jim, how many times we played this video and I'm talking about demographic destiny, five, six, at least. I mean, if the Democrats are obsessed with talk about it all the time. Here's what's going to get in their way, though. You have it? Yeah. How long is that video? Like a minute or so? Here, I because this is important. This is what's happening around the world as people start to elect conservative leaders populist and leaders who are saying, hey, we're not doing this immigration stuff anymore. Take care of our own country first. But the Democrats are obsessed with demographic destiny. do How I know it? I just listened to him. Now you can, too. Coming out into the open in a few years, to we're going be a majority brown country. White people will not be the majority in the country anymore. This will be the first ever in American history in which whites will be a minority of the generation at some As of 2007, every year, babies being born in this country, whites now with a minority in 2044. Everyone is going to be a minority. As the demographics change, as white people become the minority in the country, is coming. which Demographics is destiny. Demographics is destiny. Demographics is destiny, right? The country is changing. I've been saying it here. Other people have been saying it here for years now, even before Donald Trump. The is demographics destiny. The white population is declining for the first time in history in America, while the number of multiracial Americans have more than doubled. So we live in a country where the demographics are changing. becoming It's less white. Correct. Okay. You'll be announcing that we're calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president. It's changing.

Dan Shares Observations From His Time in the South
"Paula at the Iron Bowl. And I said, listen, I obviously haven't met a person from the south, but I've been down here a lot, like for a really long time now. And this is my personal experience with you know, God matters down there. Not that God didn't matter in New York. My family was very religious. We went to St. Pancras Church every Sunday, but God really matters in the south. Central to everything. Everything. God comes first and everything else comes second. And you really see it in the south. It's just even the way they talk. It reminds me, you know, I love Morgan Wallen. That's actually a song, the way I talk. And as a guy who loves Jesus Christ and unfortunately fails him so often, you know, I'm just deeply impacted by how much people from the south so deeply love God and faith and the faith -based portion of the community. You know, sometimes up of earth. Things are like New Yorkers are just very skeptical of a lot of stuff. It's not a knock. It's just they've been burned a lot by a lot of bad people. So a lot of things are considered like hokey. Like, hey, is church going to do bingo. I've been to New York, it's like, ah, that's hokey. That's goofy. Right, Jim? That's like New York. That ain't doing it. That's kind of hokey. Not down south, man. That's a community. Yeah, it's bingo. That's cool. Let's go do some bingo. Whatever. Good for you, man. I also noted that things I picked up down On 20 years living south in New York. You know, manners and structure matter. You know, people don't say, yes, sir, and no, ma 'am, because they're obligated to. They say it because they want It imparts structure in a chaotic world. Respect the elderly. You know, they get over and out of the way when a funeral procession happens. Again, things I've seen, these are just my experiences. I'm not speaking for everyone. don't I stereotype people, good or bad. But structure matters. Manners

The Pneumonia Outbreak in China: Don't Panic Just Yet
"In the morning? Don't believe the first media narrative. I bring up the Bongino rule because there's an outbreak of a new disease in China. What? Yes! And I want everyone to please up front and center. I know you all get it. I don't mean this in any kind of a condescending way. But I just want everyone to just chill on this thing for a minute. There's a reason. Do not trust anything the media says on this thing. Anything. Talk about it. Digest the stories. But I want you to read them. And I want you to read them with my Dipsy -Doo -Flip -A -Roo theory. That anything they say, you should probably believe the opposite. The reason I don't buy this is we've been through this before, before an election season with a disease emanating out of China. And the media's not going to tell you the story. They're going to tell you a story. I need you to understand the difference. There is a difference between me telling you a story and telling you the story. The media, what they're looking to do here with this, they're is trying to figure out right now how to leverage this thing to take advantage of the election season and make Biden look good, or at least not make him look bad. If Trump were in office, it would be the opposite. I assure you, and Jim, you can attest to this as an avid follower of the media politics. If Donald Trump were in office and these reports of a pneumonia outbreak in China, the headline in every liberal newspaper would be what? It would be, here we go again! Here we go again! Coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, man rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! and Dogs cats living together! That's it! Those would be media newsrooms right now, for those of you who grew up in the 80s and saw Ghostbusters. Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats! The fact that you're hearing so little about it says to me a couple of things. The media has decided to chill on the story to not make Biden look asleep behind the wheel. But second, media the is probably also saying, hey we don't have to panic right now because we don't know what it is, it may be a pneumonia outbreak but we can't trust China, and we should probably chill

Corned Beef Hash (MM #4630)
"I've often said it's the simple things in life that bring me the most pleasure. Last weekend, we were in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and we went to a Greek diner for breakfast on Saturday. And on their menu was corned beef hash. Now, it's one of my favorite foods. I don't know why. I had a restaurant I used to go to in Ohio called Charlie's that had a good corned beef hash. And I love a good breakfast, so I used to get it all the time. But when I moved back south, I had a hard time finding corned beef hash. But when I saw it on the menu last weekend, something said, order it. So, I did. And it was incredible. In fact, the hash I had was some of the best corned beef hash I'd had in a long time. Because it was crispy on the edges and just firm enough and just mushy enough and a lot of flavor. And wow, it is the simple things in life. I often wonder where I start liking things like corned beef hash. When was the first time I ate it? It's not one of those things, unless it's like a family tradition, that you try. I saw it on a menu and I tried it 30, 40 years ago. I don't know. But every now and again, I got a taste for it. Now, of course, I had great hash last weekend and I want it again. I'm nowhere near that restaurant. Boy, corned beef hash sounds real good.

"Give the Bread Dough to the Baker, Even If He Eats Half of It"
"The value of expertise in a world brimming with DIY tutorials and a do -it -yourself culture, the age -old adage, give the bread to the baker, even if he eats half of it, resonates with timeless wisdom. This proverb underlines a fundamental truth, the importance of entrusting tasks to those who are skilled in their respective fields, even if it means incurring higher costs. The cost of amateur work attempting to lead to subpar outcomes, additional expenses, or even catastrophic failures. For instance, a homeowner might attempt a complex plumbing job to save costs, only to create a bigger issue that requires professional intervention. This scenario illustrates the hidden costs of amateur work, which can often exceed the expense of hiring a professional from the outset. The baker's half, a fair exchange the just a monetary cost but also represents the value of expertise, experience, and the assurance of quality. When we pay professionals, we aren't just paying for the physical labor or the end product. We're also paying for their years of training, their specialized tools, and their ability to foresee and solve complex problems. In the professional sphere in the professional world, particularly in fields like medicine, law, or engineering, the stakes of amateur intervention can be extraordinarily high. As a physician, for instance, I understand the critical importance of specialized knowledge. In healthcare, entrusting a complex medical procedure to a generalist rather than a specialist can have dire consequences. Economic implications While it might seem cost -effective to cut corners by not hiring professionals, the long -term economic implications can be profound. Businesses that skimp on expert input might face operational failures, legal challenges, or reputational damage, all of which can be far costlier than the initial savings. Conclusion The essence of the proverb, give the bread to the baker, even if he eats half of it, is not about literal bread or bakers. It's a call to acknowledge the value of professional expertise and the wisdom of investing in it. Whether in our personal lives or professional domains, this principle guides us to make decisions that prioritize quality, safety, and proficiency over short -term savings. In the end, the extra cost paid to a professional is not just an expense, it's an investment in quality, peace of mind, and ultimately, success.

"Tim Sullivan from Bloomberg radio A few years back I was doing some research statement I really was schooled on how much the global pharmaceutical industry relies on India for manufacturing and supplies Bloomberg news healthcare reporter Anna edney writes about it in this week's solutions section She and business we get her Joel Weber explain why many Americans are likely unaware of their primary drug source and have geopolitics factor in There have been several years or longer decades where the FDA as well as lawmakers have been talking about China and India and how they supply active ingredients for our drugs in kind of an equal way The FDA has put out a little bit of data did not go nearly as deep as the U.S. pharmacopoeia group But it made it look like they were a little bit more equal footing as far as providing active ingredients go And that was what surprised me I mean India is just by far has the vast amount of the large factories that are making these active ingredients that go into the U.S. market So explain in terms of active ingredients this is what the core of so many pharmaceuticals that maybe we take for granted Yeah this is the key material This is the key chemical that you need in your drug to make it work So you know if you're taking Tylenol you'll see it's also called a sediment And that's the active ingredient because that's what's actually making your headache go away or your pain go away There are inactive ingredients that go into it that may mostly probably bind it and things like that or help with an extended release if that's the kind of drug it is But the active ingredient is basically what makes it work And I'm curious as we're thinking about the geopolitical backdrop that is suddenly emerged in the India's being more closely aligned than with Russia than maybe a lot of people expected Like how hard would it be to bring the production of these active ingredients back to the U.S. That is extremely difficult The drug makers don't really they're perfectly comfortable relying on India It's cheap enough where they want to go And so incentivizing them to come back in some way federal incentives helping prop them up with expanding factories They may already have here is probably one of the few ways that it's going to happen But even then when if a company decides to build a factory here expand something it can take several years to get that going It's not just like flip the switch We had this production line lying around It has to be very specific to the type of drugs they're trying to build in things like that So this information that U.S. pharmacopeia has could help push that effort a little bit given that it's everything is so concentrated there Even when it was split when people thought it might be split between India and China a little more Not great for a lot of reasons but at least they're a little more diversity This is showing that you know coming from one area and that even raises a lot more eyebrows Yeah and it really startling figure in here of the 100 drugs that Americans use the most you write 83 have no production source in the U.S. for their active ingredients That's according to somebody a senior researcher at the center for analytics and business insights at wash U in St. Louis So you mentioned potentially government involvement here Is that realistic for us to think because I gotta tell you you know two years into this three almost three entering the 30 of the pandemic It does feel like this is at least on its surface a national security issue Right and the association for accessible medicines They're the ones who are the lobby group for the generics and really the drugs we're talking about here are generic drugs A lot of the brand name drugs are going to Europe and for their active ingredients They said they have been in talks with the Biden administration the administration has been looking at the supply chain of a lot of different things given this was happened during the pandemic and pharmaceuticals has been one of those So they are in talks under the Trump administration There was some money that went to a company enrichment Virginia to get kind of started so they could try to make COVID drugs domestically on flow but that's just one company It's not the whole solution Bloomberg's Anna edney and business week editor Joel Weber with us there Now though we turn to another corner of healthcare that's getting a lot of interest Carol from private equity We're talking about bright line the company provides virtual behavioral health services to children and their families It's now valued at more than $700 million after raising a 105 million from investors led by KKR That was in its most recent funding round Tim we caught up with brightline cofounder and CEO and we Allen talked about a lot including the platform We provide a national solution for families that's an in network benefit That means it's covered by insurance companies And we offer it through employers so they can provide it to their employees and the children of those employees There are three levels of care so basically we need families where they are Some families made this need a bit of self guided content or exercises digital exercises or recommendations for how to support their child Some families need things that are more skill building So for example example of family that maybe has a child that doesn't have a clinical level of anxiety that is anxious about taking your masks off at school or a child that doesn't have depression but is struggling with maintaining a proper sleep.

She's one of the people who is basically famous for being famous while adding nothing at all to society. Now she's in trouble for being an utter a whole or B word or whatever, on Twitter some years ago when she told some teenagers who were doing silly things that they should kill themselves. Basically, her role was to be the vanguard of cancel culture and one of its ugliest practitioners.

That is a new song from Dennis DeYoung, Longtime lead singer for Sticks is called the Isle of Missing Throw up. And it's from his new album, which is called 26 East, Volume two, which is probably the last album he's ever going to make. And I am so excited that Dennis D. Young is going to join us by zoom. At 805, so you can watch it live. On Facebook when it happens, and by the way, if you're listening to this later on a podcast, the video will be up on Facebook. If you don't catch it live, you can still go see it at facebook dot com slash 6 30 K. How I am just so excited about it. Now, speaking of stupid things that don't mean the end of civilization, But still I saw this. I saw this story yesterday. And I figured I have to share it with you. So you all recall the Victoria's secret fashion shows over the years with these young women that they called their their angels sat next to one on an airplane. One time she was attractive and a and a little bit odd. Yeah. Uh, Anyway, Victoria's secret they they stopped their their fashion show a couple of years ago in 2019. And so they no longer have these when women who are chosen for their particular gorgeousness, I suppose. Walking down the runway wearing lingerie and big feather wings and stuff like that. Now, what we've learned yesterday is that they are going to launch What are they? What They're calling the V s collective and the Victoria's Secret Global Fund for women's cancers, with a much more diverse group of women representing the brand, including Actress Priyanka Chopra, Soccer star Megan Rapinoe, Chinese Scheer, Eileen Goo, British model and body activist Paloma L L Successor and transgender Brazilian model Valentina Sampa. Oh, The company says through social, cultural and business relationships, the V S collective will work to create new associate programs, revolutionary product collections, compelling and inspiring content and rally support for cause is vital to women. So there you go. No more angels going down the runway. Instead, they will have all these. These other women who are attractive in their own ways. I'm sure and they are going to focus on different things rather than just You know good bodies. They're going to focus on social and cultural things. And you know what? I don't really have. Strong opinions about this, I will say when the Victoria's secret fashion show would come on in the past. With these, you know, gorgeous 25 year olds. I would definitely watch it for three or four minutes just to look at, you know some gorgeous women for three or four minutes and then It was boring after that, and you know it adds three or four minutes than they would otherwise have gotten out of me, although it never got me to buy any Victoria's secret product. My wife doesn't really think much of their stuff anyway. Uh, but you know whatever works for them. Bottom line is a brand that's been struggling a bit and brands that struggle need to figure out a way to retool and Fit in and these days, you know, in a way it ties in with the conversation that we had with a woman from Bumble a few minutes ago, where she was saying that people can put up on the dating website. Interest badges, things they're interested in. And then she gave examples of I support BLM or I am an L G B T Q. Plus ally or I oppose Asian American hate by which I think she means hatred against them rather than hatred by them. And up other than supporting BLM. Those other things are fine to do what I think is a little weird is the is the messaging because in a way, it doesn't Say much about you would just all virtue signalling all the time, and I just don't know. For how long virtue signaling is going to be Successful business model. It's going to be for a while. I don't know for how long later in the show. We're gonna talk about DSG investing environmental, societal and government and governance and in choosing companies to put your money in. Based on that kind of thing. Last thing I'll say I use the term virtue, signaling a lot. There is a certain degree to which this is more than virtue, signaling right if you are really trying to help a group you were trying to. You are truly trying to protect certain people. Right.

Our customers. So we work very closely with that channel model that's very much a channel model and then over the last couple of years. We've also started to add as we've grown gotten bigger and got, you know, more customers. We've added a number of Distributors as well. A lot of msps would prefer to buy from a distributor, then, you know, necessarily direct to the, the manufacturing company and then also some of the smaller internet service providers. You know, may not have as much of a credit rating. And so by going with a distributor that have the ability to to work with somebody that's able to support them, not only on the equipment side but also the financing side. So we started to have they directed Telco as well as Channel and distribution support in our in our business office.

"At this time, I bring the latest woke stories in woke news to our listeners into how we in the hopes that you all can be a little bit more woken your everyday lives by following the rules that a lot of these people are being forced to follow. How he's learned a lot. So far he's learned dead naming neo pronouns. What else have we learned that we learned a few things? I tried to suppress them from my memory, But you're right. It's hard to forget Neo Pronounce. So we're gonna learn a few more things this week, and one of them is that gravity in more specifically, the theory of gravity is racist. In case you didn't know. Any guesses as to how this is possible. Is this? It does have something to do with firing bullets into the air. No, no, it doesn't go ahead. I brought that up when they when they were saying, suggesting firing bullets into the air rather than shooting. People who were trying to stab other people, and I said, You know, the you know you couldn't excuse the certain elements of the population from a bang certain laws, But the law of gravity is kind of tough. T O want. What goes up must come down. That's right. That's that's what I was always thought. Professors at Sheffield University want to put disclaimers on Isaac Newton's theories because he benefited from quote. Colonial era activity unquote and believed the physics curriculum should instead promote inclusive design. Leaked documents show that the professor's air planning to overhaul their physics courses to explain the global origins and historical context of Newton's theories. With an inclusive curriculum development plan. I don't know why the theory of gravity should be affected by this. I guess Maybe he was free white man, and he was able to sit under that apple tree that day and experience the breeze blowing that apple onto his head. I've no idea. Plans form part of the engineering faculties, efforts to challenge longstanding conscious and unconscious biases among students to tackle Eurocentric. And white savior, approaches to science and maths and promote inclusive design. The document says that imply I didn't know again. I didn't know that the law of gravity was Eurocentric. I thought it applied to hell before I thought there was equity in the law ft. It applied everybody, You know, it affects heavier people more than the lighter people. So maybe there's not as much equity as we thought. Document says that important scientist such as Paul Dirac, Pierre Simone Laplace, Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm liveness could be considered as benefiting from colonial era activity. So apparently we're supposed to start from scratch, and somebody has to reinvent the theory of gravity that that did not benefit from colonial euros. Centrism. So there you go. Gravity's racist. I was just thinking how much I dreaded physics. When I was in high school. I was always afraid that somehow I would that make a mistake and end up in a physics course because I had as much as I hated algebra geometry. I knew I would be even more helpless in a physics course. I love the outcomes of physics. I love the displays and the tricks that you can do the illusions you can create with physics. I dare not try to understand how it's done. No. Condi Nast Cooking Publication ends Beef recipes to encourage more sustainable cooking. Yes, I saw this one's epicurious. I this this Confirms my suspicion, which I've said for the last several months, Taylor all magazines are the same. Yeah, this this every magazine, you could read the same Condon as they, you know, they put out the G Q. The New York Fair folk. All of those weird, uppity magazines. They're brand Epicurious announced that it will no longer publish recipes that include beef on its website. In an effort to encourage more sustainable cooking. We won't be publishing new beef recipes in Epicure on Epicurious, the company confirmed in a piece published on this website. It continued. We've cut out the beef beef won't appear in new Epicurious recipes, articles or newsletters.

All right. Here's another couple of trigger warnings that could be appearing in a university near you. Students at Rutgers University, Camden are now being infant in fan till ized. With trigger warnings on Greek and Roman literature and history classes. Associate professor Evan Jule told Rutgers Camden News now that he believes that students need to be warned about historic material that might upset their delicate sensibilities. He's like he's like people have rightfully come to a more critical stance against continuing attitudes of racism and misogyny. So how do we teach an ancient society where misogyny, sexual assault and harassment were the norm and built into the classic texts that we read? There are debates whether taking such an approach, he says, doesn't prepare them for the real world. Conversely, some argue that if someone has had a traumatic assault, the discussion might trigger this experience. I think it's better to prepare the students than to surprise them. Taylor. You know, there's a word that you're using that's triggering May What might that be? The word is trigger. Figure is your trigger word. It reminds me of a gun and then I'm frightened of a gun, a firearm? Are you also triggered by used by massage, anus and Racists. And if you're playing a game of battle supremacists, if you're playing a game of battleship in your opponent calls out C four are you triggered I am. I'm really triggered that I take C four really personally. Jill recounted an incident where a student had equated homosexuality with PETA Rasky romantic relationship between an adult male and younger male that was socially acceptable in ancient Greece. Over romantic. It's it's known as a It's known as a felony freeze, not in ancient Greece, I should say have harassed E Jule said that this line of thought has been used against people in the LGBT community for centuries. You accused them of pedophilia to marginalize them and to exclude them from the community. So all of these scenarios they're going to be bringing up in the Greek mythology and Greek history classes will come with trigger warnings. If this this passes, all right, we have come to our Karen of the week. This. This is an interesting story, and there's audio to it. North Carolina official fired for exercising white privilege because he didn't call a black woman doctor. A North Carolina official was removed from his position Tuesday. This was last week for refusing to refer to a black woman using her doctoral title during a virtual meeting. This was a PhD doctor all title, by the way, not an MD. I don't. You would've had a problem with calling her a doctor. If she was an empty enter Tony Collins. He's a construction contractor. I should say a white construction contractor. Just construction contractors. Enough. He's not woke and former member of the Greensboro City Councils Zoning Commission, recent former member was ousted by unanimous City Council vote for ignoring Carry Rosario's request to call her doctor carry Rosario. This is the equivalent of calling Jill Biden. Dr Jill Shields, a PhD in public health and works as an associate professor at UNC Greensboro.

And so now everybody's going home, man. This new big three won't let me carry Katie. Okay, just push them to the side. They're champions. Let me tell you about James Harden. 2012 He's 22 years old. NBA finals. Take you back. Miami Heat versus Oklahoma City. They lose in five games, and I want to take you back because that year James Harden was a six man of the year. He was a beast. I mean, he's coming off the bench, just just murdering people. In the heat. Have since admitted That you know what our game plan was. We cannot let him come in and just dictate the game. And beat us. So what it hardened, doing the most critical moments. Of that Syriza's On Game three, had nine points in 34 minutes. Two of 10. In game four years, eight points in 36 minutes two of 10 Meanwhile, Westbrook his homie had 43 in that game in Game four. Katie champion had 28 But they lost the serious because the guy that had been giving it to him all year disappeared. So fast forward. That's 2012. They all go their separate ways, right? I mean, ultimately, Katie would leave after getting almost of the NBA Finals with Westbrook in O. K. C, and he goes to join the Warriors. Obviously hard leaves and goes to Houston. Westbrook stays once a couple of MVPs, and now you fast forward and you see That he is now team with the new Big three. Harden, Katie Kyrie. So can they win an NBA championship? This is what I know about James Harden. He's one of the best n BA regular season guys ever. A few years back guys he had. He had one for the ages, where he averaged over 36 points a game. More minutes. I mean, he made 11 field goals per game and shot almost 45%. 53 pointers a game. This is just a couple of years ago. I mean, the numbers he put up. There's only a few guys that I've ever done it, including Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin, Baylor and Jordan. Regular season. So Now I'm looking at Brooklyn and I'm going well, I know what I get with Katie. He might be the most prolific score that we've ever seen if you've never seen Kevin Durant up close 7 Ft. You see how he dribbles his ability, create his own shot. And once he gets to a certain point, meaning elevated, you're not blocking his shot because he's damn near 12 ft in the air. So you've never seen anybody just go up and block his jumper. So he does pretty much what he wants to do, and just is proficient when it comes to scoring. Then you talk about Kyrie, who may be the best ball handler we've ever seen, and that's not hyperbole. You know, I saw Isaiah Thomas. He was great. I've seen some great ball hill. I didn't see pistol, Pete. Okay, but I've seen some great ball handlers. And you watch Kyrie, and it's like the ball like all these guys that the great ones this on a string. It's over here. It's over there. I'm bringing it back.
