Self-Care: Giving the World the Best of You, Not the Rest of You
"Always like to start at the beginning which is to define what actually is self -care and I'm actually just back from a weekend away where I went over to Edinburgh and I think the analogy that they always do in every airplane safety demonstration is really apt when you come to self -care which is oxygen mask analogy. So when they're giving a safety demonstration they always talk about how if it was the case that cabin pressure was to fall that you should put on your oxygen mask first before you attempt to help people around you and it's a very good analogy I suppose for self -care that you want to be looking at like what you need to do to give you oxygen and then you look outwards to see who else can I support now that I've sort of made sure that I'm protected and I can continue and I think it's a really good analogy and it's like this kind of left of you and that's a really important distinction I've learned over the years as well you know when people say a glass is half full or a glass is half empty and often what we do with self -care is you know like maybe we get a facial or we get our nails done and like we're topping up this glass or jug of water right but like if you keep pouring out of the jug without replenishing then all you're really doing yes you might fill it up but all of a sudden a week or two later is back to like dangerously low levels again so often what you actually want to try do is have that jug overflowing right so you're always full but the excess runs off and that's what fills other people's cups and really what that's talking about is sort of making sure that like you yourself feeling are good you're full of energy you're full of the joys of life maybe you're full of gratitude and then you give your excess to other people so it's not like you fill up and then you give that away and you're constantly in this fill it back up phase which sort of has a lot of effort attached to it it's rather like can you get yourself to a good place where you actually nearly have like so much that it's overflowing and you can easily give that excess away because it's not it's not detrimental to you because you have enough to continue to fuel yourself as well i really like that analogy like just as much as the oxygen mask one and i think what that reminds me it's self -care is not like one and done right it's like something that you always are sort of making sure that you have time for yourself to do that because you don't want to be trying to fill other people's gases from an empty jug nor do i want to feel that i'm having to take away from myself to give to other people because that can put you on a path towards resentment as well so what actually is self -care about like bubble baths and facials and you know lighting a candle and i enjoy doing all of those things so there's nothing wrong with those things as well but they're very surface level self -care and there is kind of two layers of self -care one is the surface piece but one is much deeper as well and it gets related into understanding your needs and values and living a life aligned to them it's your time it's your boundaries it's maybe having an understanding of your priorities so it's also when we think about self -care is making sure that we were maybe hitting on items that are from both of those lists so the surface level is the sort of relax rejuvenation the rest pieces could be a nap in the afternoon or it could be like i said going to the spa it could be shopping if that's what you enjoy it could be getting a nice cup of coffee out and just being able to you know sit in the sunshine and drink it or sit by yourself and drink it and have nobody disturb you probably harder self -care pieces are the the deeper ones right so it's the boundaries so saying no to people saying no to maybe even spending time with people who drain your energy like that's self -care in itself or if that's not possible it's maybe distancing yourself a little bit from those people i think that's particularly apt coming up to christmas because we do find ourselves in situations where we're spending time with people that perhaps we don't at other times of the year and it can be a very difficult and draining time of year for people it can be things like hobbies i chatted to shaz about this back in season one it's sort of something that we've lost a little bit as our world has got like so convenient and so automated and we're so busy doing all of these other things but like having time to do something that you're passionate about or you're interested in or that engages your creativity and your curiosity is actually really really important because it's carving out time for yourself and often these hobbies can be incredibly self -soothing because you don't think about other things that are going on in your life you're just thinking about not dropping a stitch or you last week and she was talking about how when she hunt horse riding she was literally you know you have to have full concentration because you didn't want to fall off the horse and hurt yourself so hobbies can actually be a really important part of our self -care routines as well

"Told us what he will do it's very easy to see the steps that he will take people who say well if he's elected he's not that dangerous because we have all these checks and balances don't fully understand the extent to which the Republic's at Congress today have been co -opted one of the things that we see happening today is a sort of sleepwalking into a dictatorship in the United States checks and balances see the presumption is that Donald Trump is Hitler Donald Trump was he adhered to the Constitution he had more conservative policies than Bush Cheney did he signed an executive order by the way that is used today by Jewish students and their lawyers to defend themselves against anti -semitism on college campuses he wanted to secure the border of course the Chamber of Commerce Republicans hate that see Donald Trump represents and represented mainstream USA I called him in Don junior course pick this off but I called him member this miss blue -collar billionaire because that's what he is and worked he's with blue -collar hard -working Americans his entire life you know when Donald Trump bought Mar -a -Lago the restrictions for Jews and blacks still existed and he immediately eliminated them immediately you don't hear about these things and we such a bigot don't you know why he used the word vermin his daughter married a Jew she converted to Orthodox Judy you know Scarborough those religious zealots his grandchildren there are Jewish for go to Israel today he'd be elected Prime Minister but they call him Hitler the newspaper whose correspondent in Berlin was sympathetic to Hitler in the Third Reich the newspaper they covered up the Holocaust the New York Times they don't call that paper paper of the Hitler but it was it is the paper of Hitler now Donald Trump you see because Liz Cheney says so Liz Cheney is an evil person she knows what she's doing she knows what she did on that committee she knows how she worked the testimony now we have video that's missing we have testimony that's missing apparently one -third to one -half of the information they gathered they erased with a federal judge in Washington is trying to put Donald Trump in prison during the course of the election she won't even allow Donald Trump access to that information despite these rulings by these judges all Democrats and Democrats so they're going to use her the useful idiot that she is like they do Kingsinger who now is a grifter I believe on CNN and Ken Buck who will be a grifter on CNN because CNN is not a media enterprise it's a political enterprise it is an appendage to the party that's what it is that's why it hires Democrats like Jake Tapper MSNBC same thing but worse they hire actually Marxists and Islamicists they actually hire a guy like Al and given his record person who spews and has spewed even before she was in the media anti -semitism bigotry racism Joy Rhee they hire somebody like Joe Scarborough who's a wannabe wants to be in the crowd you and everybody knows I'm right it's all fact so she will be pushed and pushed hard by all the media outlets and I want to congratulate Brian Stelter fat little slob Brian Stelter cannot get Fox off of his 7 just can't she writes another book about Fox in many books he sold in the first week mr. producer 3500 give or take I mean it's better than Chris Christie did when his book came out he sold like 200 and they go on these same shows but Cheney will do well because she's written a book for the purpose of selling it to the radical Marxist left -wing zombies and I would say to Liz Cheney you like the Biden's foreign policy how's that going like how about Biden's hollowing out the United States military you've always been a fraud you claim to be a hawk you know hawk hawk your tweety bird you're fraud she's also an egomaniac I remember when she wanted to take on the incumbent Republican senator in Wyoming came on this program had us all fooled but the polling showed she'd get whipped by this guy she desperately wanted to be a senator so she pulled back and ran for the house but his name wasn't enough to carry over the finish line for the Senate now she's there a voice of righteousness a voice of consciousness a voice of morality she's a temptable evil manipulator that's what she is Donald Trump's not going to be Hitler Donald Trump's not going to be a dictator Donald Trump's not going to violate the Constitution what Donald Trump will do is try and unravel Washington DC where the Cheney's have lived most of their life where the media lives and lives and lives they don't want Donald Trump for that matter they don't want DeSantis they don't want anybody who's capable of actually unraveling Washington giving the government back to the people Main Street

Dennis Prager Podcasts
Fresh update on "first week" discussed on Dennis Prager Podcasts
"Okay. I believe that what you said makes a great deal of sense. I will support virtually any Republican who is nominated because defeating the left is the great moral agenda for saving America. If one doesn't understand that, one is not a regular listener to my show, let's put it that way. The left has destroyed every institution it has taken over, from the universities to the American Medical Association. The harm it has done to blacks is second only to racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, but the Ku Klux Klan now is nothing compared to what it was. I just read to you the other day that they're going to have all black classes at a high school in Illinois. All black classes. These are the people who tell you that diversity is our great strength. The same people who say diversity is our great strength are for black dorms, black classes, black graduation exercises, but diversity is our great strength because everything the left says is not thought through. It is said for effect for the moment to win a particular position. Unfortunately, there are many Republicans who will only vote for Trump. I think that is a terrible mistake. It means you love Trump more than the country. I vigorously worked for his reelection and supported him vigorously during his presidency. I vigorously supported his original election. But my greatest desire is to defeat the Democratic Party, which is a completely damaging party. Anyone who is only Trump is interested in Trump more than the country. A lot of these people are fine people. But think about it. You really would only vote for Trump? You wouldn't vote for DeSantis? Or any of the other Republican candidates? Not one? I don't know. It's not a perfect analogy. Almost no analogy is perfect. But if you have cancer, if I don't get this particular treatment, I will take no treatment. Okay, so the cancer will kill you. So be it. Either this particular form of chemotherapy or radiation, or forget it. Nothing else. Okay, let's see here. Somebody in California wants to know if I have my brother on my show. I have had him on my show. You know what? I will ask him to come on if he wants to come on. I'm going to see him next week when I speak at Columbia. So I'll ask him. He lives in New York. Phoenix, Arizona. John. Hello, John. Hi, Dennis. I've heard people say that they don't want to compare animals to what humans are doing. But there was a gentleman for a long, many years. He used to take mice and put them in colonies, starting with four mice, and had a colony up to 2200 mice. When they stopped reproducing, they segregated themselves in groups. There were violent groups, there were passive groups. And pretty much compares to what the humans are doing. If I could give a website, the article is up on the web at Victor Pest. So the experiment was with overcrowding, correct? There was room enough for them to expand. They were given all of the needs they needed to get by. And they pretty much started segregating them. But wait, wait, wait. But the experiment, I may be wrong. I just want to understand. It was about dense population. It was about them, given all the food they wanted, there was room to expand to a greater number. And at a point, they stopped reproducing. The point presumably was overcrowding. I have a word about that. So actually, the issue was overcrowding. I was familiar with it. And they did become aggressive and had other antisocial behaviors. The rodents went overcrowded. Overcrowding does affect human beings. The tightly spaced economy seats in coach class on airplanes does raise tensions often, as an example. There are more tensions in economy class than in first class. Let's put it that way. Nevertheless, as a statement of human behavior, it basically comes down to values in any event. Densely populated Hong Kong, densely populated Singapore, densely populated cities in Israel, densely populated Netherlands, has not resulted in increased crime of any significance. And there's plenty of crime in rural areas. I'm not a fan of urban areas, to be honest, but that's beside the point. People don't commit crimes because of overcrowding. They commit crimes because of crappy values. Okay, let's go to more of your calls. Pasadena, California. Jose, hello. Buenos días, Dennis. Thank you. I've been noticing that Israel is being judged on a much higher moral standard than its neighbors. Is that because the world sees Israel as morally superior? Yep. Okay. But they don't acknowledge it. They don't acknowledge it. That's the irony. Yeah. So they act as if they're moral equivalents. So taking a baby, which they did. The baby is still a hostage. A baby under a year old. They took a baby as a hostage. I mean, have we experienced that before? It's quite remarkable. Would Israel do that? It is inconceivable Israel would do that. Yeah, I think that was done way back in the days of Genghis Khan. Maybe. He gets a bad rap whenever people think of some medieval bad guy. Genghis Khan's name comes up. I read only a little about him and he seems to have been a mixed bag. All the wars in those days were brutal. The major conclusion from all of that is you have to be a willful ignoramus to think that human nature is basically good. It's willful. You have decided to become a fool. You may be a lovely human being, but that renders you a fool. All right. And Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Just the other day, Sean was saying to me, you know, we haven't heard from Elkhorn in quite some time. So, pleasure to hear from you, Edith. Hello. Thank you. Hello. I wanted to wish you a happy Hanukkah to begin with. Well, thank you. Merry Christmas. Yes. Well, I observed Hanukkah also. Nice. It's so meaningful to me. It expresses the truth that light wins over darkness. And the long run. The problem is the short run. Right. But I think we're at a pivotal time in history. And if you study prophecy, you realize that probably the next step is going to be Israel winning a lot of wars, the Psalm 82 wars, and it will become very prosperous and very blessed. Well, all I can say is from your mouth to God's ears. It's certainly not with the help of much of the world, if it happens. That would be clear. New Jersey. Melissa. Hello. Hello, Dennis. It's so nice to talk to you. I'm glad I got through. Same here. Thank you. So I was calling to say that I was listening to a happy hour that you had one week, and it was about the concept of, so what? If something's getting you angry, you just say, so what? It could be a lot worse. And at the day that I was listening, my husband was working from home, and he needed to hear that. So it was perfect. Oh, good. Thank you for telling me that. I always like to know what makes a difference. Look, I never say so what with regard to great evils, but generally in life, it's a powerful question. Dennis Prager here.

These GOP Primary Numbers Are Not Favorable...
"Worth watching. And it's But the hard reality is this primary, the numbers right now are not favorable. And they're not favorable because Karl as Rove, who would love him or hate him, wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, you know, Rove has an interest in not getting Trump elected. Rove doesn't like Trump. He just doesn't. It's obvious. I read his stuff in The Wall Street Journal because I want to see what everybody's saying, not just people I agree with. And Rove brought up the point that I I think think it was Rove, but they got to get to Amano Amano. There's got to be like a one on one. If any of these men or women, Nikki Haley, Vivek or DeSantis, who are really the only three contenders seriously left, if any of them are to have a chance, they got to get to a one on one. And there's no reason for any of them to drop out. Folks, put yourself in their shoes. The donor wants one guy or woman. And they think that in a one on one, they've got a shot against Trump. I don't agree. I think Trump right now is kind of running away with it to the point where pluralities and majorities are going to be there in pretty much every state. However, I don't think primaries are a bad thing. And I think a one on one, obviously, math pure would give that person or man a better shot. No diggity, no doubt. The problem is, put yourself in their shoes. If you're Nikki Haley, why are you going to drop out? You're currently running number two in New Hampshire. If you're Nikki Haley, you're in the back room in a smoke filled room with a bunch of donors going, screw that, let that guy drop out, DeSantis. But if you're DeSantis, you're looking at the Haley donors going, well, why would I drop out? I'm number two in Iowa. Right? Well, why not Vivek? Folks, Vivek is worth 100 plus million dollars. Vivek's probably like, you know what? This is an investment in my future. I like politics. I like the Republican brand. I could run again in the future. Why the hell would I drop out? I can finance You gotta remember, man, the
Bloomberg Businessweek
Fresh update on "first week" discussed on Bloomberg Businessweek
"She's on Zoom in our Houston bureau and then in our Bloomberg Interactive broker studio, our own Mike McKee, of course, Bloomberg News International Economics and Policy We had some issues, but it seems like Jay Powell was doing just fine today. Mike, what do you make of what he had to say? Well, the cut you just played was not the news of the day. That was already priced in coming into this. People expected Powell to say that they were going to leave their option for raising rates on the table. He used a phrase he had not used before, though, when he said that the Fed target rate is quote, well into restrictive territory. That was the line that convinced everybody that what Powell was really saying is not only are we not going to raise rates on December 13th, we are done, barring any kind of major shakeup in the inflation data. Hence the market reaction and why we're seeing people price in so May. Additionally, aggressively, rate cuts. We're looking at now more than one rate cut priced in for May. Two rate cuts priced in for June, three for July. By the time we get to January of next year, almost six. So we're looking at almost 50 basis points of cuts coming very rapidly and that was not what was last week at this time. Well, in Katerina, I guess, is that realistic? Just pricing in and we've heard the Fed continue to beat the drum on higher for longer and wait and see. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't presume to say whether the market's right or wrong in assuming this, but I mean, you know, Mike's right. We are getting a pretty clear signal from Fed leaders. And, you know, this week kind of critically, it wasn't just Powell, but some of the more hawkish members that gave this sort of signal that we're at, probably the peak of this tightening cycle and the next move may well be a cut of instead another hike. What does it mean though, Mike, for him to be to really have such conviction, it feels like, and to kind of almost, you know, put an end to any questions out there to kind of clear kind of any kind of confusion I feel like. It does really tell you that the Fed has kind of changed their view as a over group the month. At the beginning of the month when he had his news conference after the Fed meeting and spoke a couple of days later, he basically said, we're not that tight yet. he's Now saying we're well into excessive territory and so he's saying we think what we have now is enough to slow the economy and he went on to say that growth spending and and output is going to slow because these high rates are weighing on the economy. Where he can't go from here is to say how long that has to last. The restrictive territory to has last. They want people to buy the idea of higher for longer and as I was saying earlier this week on the show here it becomes a question now of how fast you think inflation will go down because the Fed may want to balance out higher real rates and so that is why the markets are really pricing in the Fed moving as they think inflation is going to come with down faster the exception of there's a group of people who still think we're going to see a recession in which case the Fed would cut sooner and faster. Katarina, come on in on inflation. We've had some guests come on and say that actually just this week I think it was Bill Smead who talked about that he thought inflation is going to settle I mean it was a guest yesterday forgive me Bill. Three percent and the Fed will kind of be okay with that. we Should assume that two percent that target still sticks? I mean that's what we've heard from all of them right that's kind of a unifying message and has been over the past couple years. They're very you know at least they say they're very adamant about two percent. Does it matter guys? Two, three percent. Does it matter? I mean I think it does for their credibility honestly and for the future of the Fed as an institution right. If they want to have the kind of firepower that they have had over the past year and a half you know in taming inflation. I think they really need to get down to that two percent level because otherwise in the future if we have another bout of high inflation people will say well you know maybe this time it'll just they'll be fine with it going to two percent right. So I do think it is pretty critical. Mike what do you think? Well they're looking always for what the quote -unquote neutral rate is which is how the level of interest rates that would neither stimulate nor hold back the economy and they don't know what that level is it's what if you want to get wonky they call r star and they've come to the conclusion over the last 10 years or so that the r star moves and so at this point to change the inflation target would require them to have a better idea of where this neutral rate is and because of the pandemic it's there's a lot of questions about whether it has gone up whether it's actually going down and so it's not something to they get want into right now and they may not they do do another review of their policy framework in 2025 and so that would be probably when they would look at the question and mike is core really the only thing the fed cares about because i've talked to a number of strategies investors and who keep pointing to wage growth and how that could be well people look at wage growth and other inputs into what ends up as core if wage growth is high then the companies are going to raise prices to offset that we didn't really see too much of that in this last round we saw inflation for supply chain reasons but uh... that's one reason people just uh... still looking at wage growth and how tight the labor market is whether they're going to be pressures for higher wages that then lead to higher prices right now uh... it is this the core rate the PCE core rate that the Fed follows most closely in terms of trying to tell them what inflation is doing the headline rate for PCE is their official target but they look at core because they know with food and energy it bounces around a lot hey I'm curious one week from today we'll be all over the jobs report and Katarina you know I'm sure there's tons of data points that continue to come to the Federal Reserve is there you know there's obviously weekly jobless claims and so on and so forth but I'm wondering does Jay Powell have a good feel of what that jobs report might be at this point yeah that's a good question I mean I I think we can all you know we'd be pretty safe and assuming that we're gonna see another decently strong month probably a continuous kind of slow slow down of what we've been seeing over the past few months I don't think anyone is expecting really a surprise on on any part of it so I would think that that's probably where the Fed is they've been encouraged by that ratio between vacancies and people looking for jobs coming down so I think that's been a good indicator for them Mike got about 20 seconds final thoughts well I think next if you're one of spin next Friday and jobs remember you don't want to take about 30 ,000 jobs off the headline number that's because the auto workers coming back so at 175 ,000 is the forecast a consensus forecast now you're looking at 140 ,000 or so which is a slowdown from where where we've been we get that the Fed will be happy alright guys well thank you so much well those Bulls out there they're pretty happy today certainly on the equity side of things thank you so much have a great weekend Bloomberg News Reserve Federal and economics reporter Katarina Sariva out there in Houston Michael Mikey Bloomberg News international economics policy Bloomberg radio on demand and in your podcast feed on latest the edition of the Bloomberg intelligence podcast a conversation with BI's Deborah Aiken on the outlook for luxury goods so into the first half of the year we still had a very robust US market we still had tourism boosting Europe as well as domestic decent numbers in and Japan we did see China reopening from January and traveling more so from March but it was mostly to Hong Kong Macau Japan Hainan and part of the parts of
The Mason Minute
Fatigued (MM #4634)
"I've been feeling a bit fatigued over the course of the last couple of weeks. I think it's seasonal allergies, it's catching that cold, it's been traveling a little bit too much, and I just don't bounce back as well as I used to. It's getting older. But the other day, I thought I was around in the corner with a cold. I woke up on Monday not feeling bad, but decided to work from home feeling good, like, okay, I'm going to work on Tuesday. By the time I got up yesterday morning, that fatigue hit me again. No, I didn't sleep well Monday night, Tuesday morning. So I decided to call the doc in the box and see if they could help me out, give me some medication because this cold has turned into a sinus infection, which I normally do. It's the way they've always worked out. Of course, she was telling me I had COVID, or at least she thought I had COVID because I mentioned the word fatigue. Like, seriously? Now, we automatically think just because a person's fatigued, it's COVID. This doctor doesn't know my life. They just think it checks the box. If you're fatigued, you got COVID. But I waited too long, so no need to take a test now. If I plow through it, I plow through it. I just kind of shook my head. You can't just simply have a cold or the flu or even a sinus infection. We've got to blow it up in something more.

"The Solana community is getting an airdrop and it looks to be absolutely massive. Jito is launching a governance token. It's called GTO. David, can you give us a recap of what Jito even is for folks that are unfamiliar? BagelStation, it's time for your Friday Weekly Rollup. David, what are we talking about this week? All of the news across all of the chains. Ryan, it's non-Ethereum airdrop week this week. Solana is getting a token, perhaps one of its biggest. Cosmos, Adam getting a new token as well. What else is going on? We got Kyber, they got hacked. This is one of DeFi's oldest protocols. So it's not good news, David, but you know the craziest thing? Did you read the message from the Kyber hacker? It is absolutely unhinged. It is completely unhinged. So we got to talk about that. What else? Some chains are getting some upgrades. Lots of more TPS coming into the fold. Say a layer one is getting an upgrade, a move layer two is coming to Ethereum, a new flavor of layer two on Ethereum. And also a large Ethereum validator is starting to play shenanigans with the blockchain. I'll tell you this story. I think it's pretty cool. And speaking of shenanigans, we got to give him an update on CZ. What's he doing this week? Is he still in the US? Is he somewhere else? And while we're talking about locations, where in the world is Richard Hart? That's what the SEC really wants to know right now. And if you're listening to this, wherever you're listening, make sure you give us a review, a like, if you rate it, subscribe, if you're checking this out on YouTube. David, you know Spotify Wrapped? It's Spotify Wrapped season. One of the best seasons to be a podcaster, I would say, is when you get all the appreciation. Well, I saw somebody, I think the biggest Spotify Wrapped Bankless listener moment, like minutes, was something like 14,000 minutes. 14,000 minutes. Yeah. So if you are listening to this on Spotify and you have more than 14,000 minutes on listening to Bankless, tweet at us, we will send you some swag. We'll send you something. David, I did the numbers on that. 14,000 divided by 60, something like 233 hours. 233 hours. Is that crazy or what? Have we done that many podcasts? That's like 10 days. I think that's how math works. 10 days straight. 10 days of our voice. Wow. I'm sorry. But also, thank you. I'm humbled and honored to have so many people listen to this podcast. We do it for you. Do it for you. We do it for you guys. We do it for you guys. Okay, David, speaking of things that we do for people, our friends and sponsors. Over at Near. This is super cool, actually. We had a Twitter space with Ilia from Near where we got to ask a little bit more about this data availability layer. Yeah, tell them about it. You want to share a screen? So the way we've been expressing this is like, oh, Near data availability. Near is a layer one. It is also supplying data availability to Ethereum layer twos, which is exactly what's happening. There's just like a bunch of second order, very positive second order effects that come with this. And that is cross chain composability for Ethereum layer twos. They've also been working with Eigen layer for fast finality. And Ryan, you know, I've been talking to you about this. I'm like on a quest to understand how Ethereum rollups become recomposed. Like eventually we need Ethereum just become invisible. And that means whether your assets are on like Optimism or Arbitrum or like future chains, all of that needs to be abstracted away. How does that happen? What is the mechanism for doing that? Silver bullets for getting that done is like low latency finality, which is how chains can talk to each other. This Near DA, along with their partnership with Eigen layer, is helping achieve some of that. And so this is one of the reasons why I'm really excited about what Near has been up to. They announced this about like two weeks ago. Anyways, there is a link in the show notes. That is bankless.cc slash Near. If you want to learn more about Near's data availability solution and how they are bringing cross chain composability to Ethereum. And thanks to Near for getting this message out to the bankless nation. David, let's talk about prices. You ready for this? Yeah. So like the prices have just up, up, up, up, up all like month. When you measure it for the last seven days, it's actually just flat. But that's like, you know, measurement error. Bitcoin's up 1% on the week. 37,300 where it started. 37,700 where we're ending. Ether price also relatively fat. Flat. 20, 30 to start. Fat works. 20, 30 to end. Pretty flat in the week. And then the ETH-BTC ratio also pretty flat on the week. And also no major big movers of the week. I mean, like Iota had a big pump, but honestly, who cares? What do you think of December? Do you think December is going to be good to us? You think I remember some Decembers in crypto have been very bleak. And it felt like coal in my stockings. December 2019 may have been this. However, December 2020 was not bleak. It was very happy. That was the month in which we had like six months of why do you need ETH? You just buy Bitcoin and DeFi tokens after like DeFi summer. And that was the month. I remember we were talking about this actually. And we were talking about this take on the weekly roll up. And you're like, what do you think about that take? And I'm like, well, it really just takes one strong week of price movement in Ether. You're saying we were talking about this in 2020? Yeah. You remember an episode from 2020? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because that feels like decades ago. So we were talking about that thesis. And they were like, what do you think about the thesis? About like the barbell of no Ether, just Bitcoin and DeFi tokens. And I was like, yeah, sure. That's like the narrative that's in vogue in the moment, because that's what the price action has been. But all that really is that could just be very quickly invalidated by a massive ETH run. And then literally the next week, Ether broke out of its like three-year bear market range and broke through to $425, which hadn't broke through in forever. And then it ran to like $700, and the narrative just completely flipped. Wait, wait, wait. Was that 2020 or did that happen in 2019? No, that's 2020. That's 2020. That was December of 2020. Because by the January of 2021, Ether had broken like by is like $1,100 in the first week. I remember this very, very well. It was like $1,100 in the first week, and we were on our way to $2,000. And like the whole barbell idea looked super cringe in hindsight. And it was when ultrasound money really became a huge thing. Yeah, yeah. Good times, David. Good times. We'll see if Santa Claus is coming to town this month. I'm hoping for good things. I think we've got a fantastic setup. We'll finish this out. Tell us, what's the cryptocurrency market cap? $1.48 trillion. We are narrowing in on a $1.5 trillion in market cap, but we're not there yet. Do you want to give us some perspective on all of this? So when you say stuff like $1.5 trillion, right? That sounds like a very large number, but here's a tweet giving some context on the size of the entire crypto industry relative to another asset that probably many of us know. What's this tweet? Yeah, so this is a tweet from a chameleonare who works at a serotonin, a dear friend of mine. She tweets out, daily reminder that the entire crypto industry is still a small boy by market cap at our peak in autumn of 2021. At the peak of the bull market of last cycle, we were equivalent. The whole industry was equivalent to the market cap of Apple. Not a small company, but it's insane to think that like a industry about crypto networks that's disrupting money and finance itself is equivalent to an equity. We're still small. You remember when you asked me what my prediction was for the cycle for the market cap? I'm still going to stick with it. Do you remember what I said? $12 trillion on the low side. $12 to $15 trillion was my number. So we got a 10x in market cap ahead of us. What's your number? Oh, gosh. I'm going with 10. 10? Your gas, I'm breaks, but gas is under my prediction? If you do the whole log curve, like cycles are always smaller. Cycles are always smaller. And we have higher interest rates now. All right, you might be right. Are you counting though? Are you counting like stable coins, real world assets? Yeah, I'm counting the number that is reported by CoinGecko in that banner that it reports it in. Yeah, fair enough. We will see either way. Pretty bullish. And speaking of bulls, can you get any more bullish on a particular asset than Michael freaking sailor who just put in another acquisition of a cool 16,000 Bitcoin? If you're curious, I could do the math for you. That's about $600 million worth of Bitcoin. Get out of here. Well, I'm doing the math for them. I didn't say I was doing the math myself at an average price of 36,000 per Bitcoin. So there he is. He's just continuing with that dollar cost averaging in strategy. But these numbers are huge. David, huge 600 million. Where does he get the number from? Like, first off, congrats on Michael Seiler for first having the first one of the first major purchase of Bitcoin where the reported average price of Bitcoin is significantly under the actual current price. Usually it was the inverse. Where does he get all this money from? Where does he just start pulling $600 million out of his pockets? Well, OK, so the answer is leverage. It's leverage. And so when Bitcoin goes up in price, MicroStrategy stock, MSTR, it's basically a Bitcoin ETF in a roundabout way because it's a software company. It sells software, but really it's just about exposure to Bitcoin. So when Bitcoin pumps and pumps up to $38,000, all of a sudden MicroStrategy trades at a much larger premium, goes up in price, and all of a sudden he can borrow against it to buy more Bitcoin. So he's just taking, he's just winding himself up. David, why don't we do that? We got a little media company. We'll go public. We'll have a bank list as a publicly traded asset. We'll just buy a dollar cost average every single week into Ether. And just announce it. Yeah, we'll start small, but we'll just wind our way up and wind up big. That's just free money, right? We're just printing money, right? And there's no risk there. Honestly, it's a fantastic business model, I think, so long as Bitcoin continues to go up. But we've already given our takes on that. We think it will. But did you see this tweet, dude? Actually, I know you did because you sent this to me. Icebergie giving a take on what Saylor's doing. Because I don't know if you've read, if you've looked at Saylor's Twitter feed recently, but stuff like this. Yeah, he just types in, he goes into mid journey and goes like, imagine, which is how you prompt mid journey. It's like slash, imagine Bitcoin to the moon. And then he just posts it and gets Bitcoin to the mountain tops. Gets like 10,000 likes on Twitter. Just like these stupid AI generation things. Show me a picture of America Eagle, an American Eagle with some Bitcoin. And that's what you get. And he just pumps them. And these tweets do so well, David. Look at this. Well, almost 10,000 likes for this, like just robot mid journey thing. I'm be honest, low effort mid journey artwork. But what's the type from Icebergie? Just tweets out. Taylor starts T whopping half a yard on Coinbase. Does a line. Then immediately goes to mid journey and types, imagine Bitcoin to the moon. Four hours, four hours. I don't know if that's what he's doing, but I do picture that in my head. I mean, bro, do you remember, you remember the super unhinged clip we played like two weeks ago? How many chairs are you sitting on right now? When people's like, why don't you diversify out of Bitcoin? And he goes like, well, how many chairs are you sitting on? Are you sitting on one chair? Are you sitting on one chair? There's only one asset. Are you sitting on 10? I love it. All right, GBTC, give me an update on this. Record lows, a discount. What are you talking about here? Record lows for discount. So in June, the discount was like negative 40 of this year for Bitcoin, the Bitcoin spot discount for GBTC now at just 8.6%. That's closing. And what did we, what was our prediction that that will continue to close and once it does what will spill over into the spot price? Yeah, it will. It'll as it approaches closing and people are just more likely to buy spot in the first place because the incentive is lessened. But yeah, so as we are approaching zero, just all of that demand is going into spot, which is bullish. Yeah. You know, what's after December, David, is January. That's how that works. I was promised a Bitcoin spot ETF by Mr. James Seyfert. Well, that's what I'm going to go do when I go climb my mountains in the first week of January. So, okay, you're climbing mountains in January. The first two weeks of January? First week of January. Okay, so it's very likely, Bankless Nation, that Gary Gensler is going to take a massive L and have to give us the Bitcoin spot ETF while David's in the mountains. Well, I got to go to the mountains because that's where he has the Horcrux, the Bitcoin ETF Horcrux. I have to go smash. This is a down bad story, David. And these numbers are pretty stark. This is from Kumar. OpenSea Revenue, January 2022. Speaking of January, that was not too long ago. Their revenue was $387 million. That's a monthly revenue for OpenSea, top of the NFT cycle. January 2022. You know what it is today? I know you do because you're looking at it. But Bankless Lister, imagine you go from $387 million to now, last month, $1.9 million. Wow, that's a big drop, David. Well, hey, like $1.9 million a month is a lot of money. I don't want to belittle that. That's still a lot of money. That's a lot of money. It's just a lot less. It just came down so hard. Okay, so why did this happen? Well, A, the NFT market just dried up, obviously. Easy come, easy go. NFT is totally not dead. They'll be around forever, of course. It's just like that was the first mania. And so that was them selling picks and shovels of a two-up mania, right? And so they were making all their revenue then. And so actual demand for NFTs have dropped off. But then also, OpenSea has been disrupted by blurt. And so their market share back then was like 90 plus percent. And now it's only like 35%. So the revenue from the industry has disappeared. And they're also taking only a third of it. So between those two things. It's just they're doing fine at $2 million a month. That's fantastic. That would be a fantastic business. What's difficult about crypto is this whipsaw. And Bankless Listener, you know, because you hold these whipsawing assets and the volatility of them. But if you're an entrepreneur, if you're a project trying to start this, you see $400 million in revenue and you're like, hey, even if that goes down 80%, we can hire another 100 people, 200 people. Like there's market demand for this, it's growing. And then you get this the other side when all of this crashes. Yeah, it doesn't go down 80%, it goes down 98%. Oh, it's difficult to ride out these markets. So, you know, that's why the key thing to do in crypto, whether you're running a project or whether you're an entrepreneur, whether you're a startup or whether you're a lowly holder, is just to hang on for the ride. You know, don't get liquidated. That's the key to survival, as we say so often. I did just do the math stress now. Well, yeah, I'm bad at math, so I don't know if I did it right. But $387 million down to $1.9 million is 98%. I mean, that's what a lot of assets got a 98% hit too. David, what do we got coming up next? Coming up next, a bunch of news. We're going to start with the JITO airdrop. I mean, it's governance token on Solana. I think Solana is by far biggest airdrop of a very esteemed protocol. And also, Cosmos Hub is having a civil war. It's entering its you remember the block size wars of Bitcoin. Oh, yeah, I think that's what's going on with Cosmos Hub. So an airdrop. What does that mean for a chain split for Adam holders? We're going to talk about that. But first, I want to talk about these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible, especially Kraken, our preferred exchange for crypto in 2023 and 2024.

The Solana community is getting an airdrop and it looks to be absolutely massive. JITO is launching a governance token. It's called GTO. David, can you give us a recap of what JITO even is for folks that are unfamiliar? JITO is a project on Solana that is one of these like app layer projects that actually has to do with the Solana chain itself. So it's like these app infra projects. JITO-SOL is like the staked ETH version. So LIDA, we have staked ETH on Ethereum and JITO-SOL on Solana. But it's not just that, it's also MEV extraction as well. So you can run the JITO client to get the MEV trading done, like built, kind of like the block proposer system of Ethereum. And so it combines MEV extraction plus the staked SOL and then it combines that in together to optimize your SOL yield. And this is called the JITO network, the JITO client. All right, so it's like when you said MEV boost, that is a product from Flashbots that basically helps to create a marketplace for all of the MEV buying and selling on top of Ethereum. And JITO does something similar for Solana. It democratizes access to MEV rewards. So instead of actually giving the most of it to MEV extractors, it gives it to people who just run the clients. And JITO now puts it into the JITO token. So it's spreading out MEV capture on Solana. So it's that and plus it's also LIDO, as you said, for Solana. Okay, so you can imagine why the Solana community is very stoked about this. It's like, you know, a very deep integration with the Solana system itself. And how deep is the airdrop? Does it go to everybody or like who gets this? Yeah, so probably some more granular distributions into internal JITO community members. But really the big one is if you are a holder of the JITO SOL token, which is like the staked ETH or our ETH of Ethereum. But for Solana, if you hold JITO SOL, because you're getting the yield of Solana in JITO SOL, then you're getting airdropped. That's probably the big one. There's other ones as well. 10% of the total supply is being airdropped to its community members. Fun fact for you, David, the ETH maximalists over at Bankless, Bankless, right? They've got a airdrop Hunter and they actually predicted JITO and they predicted the drop of JITO. And so people using the ETH maxi product got the Solana airdrop. That's right. Bankless.com slash airdrop Hunter.

Fatigued (MM #4634)
"I've been feeling a bit fatigued over the course of the last couple of weeks. I think it's seasonal allergies, it's catching that cold, it's been traveling a little bit too much, and I just don't bounce back as well as I used to. It's getting older. But the other day, I thought I was around in the corner with a cold. I woke up on Monday not feeling bad, but decided to work from home feeling good, like, okay, I'm going to work on Tuesday. By the time I got up yesterday morning, that fatigue hit me again. No, I didn't sleep well Monday night, Tuesday morning. So I decided to call the doc in the box and see if they could help me out, give me some medication because this cold has turned into a sinus infection, which I normally do. It's the way they've always worked out. Of course, she was telling me I had COVID, or at least she thought I had COVID because I mentioned the word fatigue. Like, seriously? Now, we automatically think just because a person's fatigued, it's COVID. This doctor doesn't know my life. They just think it checks the box. If you're fatigued, you got COVID. But I waited too long, so no need to take a test now. If I plow through it, I plow through it. I just kind of shook my head. You can't just simply have a cold or the flu or even a sinus infection. We've got to blow it up in something more.
Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
Fresh "First Week" from Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
"First 12 to 18 months? No, I mean they'll lose money, it'll be cash on negative, but as you get into 2025 it actually could be pretty significant in terms of the accretive level as it all plays out at scale. Dan Ives there. The Cybertruck marks Tesla's first entry into the highly competitive pickup truck market in the United States and the move has been met with both excitement and also heavy criticism and doubt. Those are a few of today's top stories for you on the markets. This morning currently European stocks heading higher six tenths of 1 % stock futures for the US after a November stunning of gains of close to 9%. The S &P 500 E -mini futures currently up a by tenth of 1 % and 10 year treasury gills trading at 4 .31 % so down about a basis point ahead of Jerome Powell's speech later today. Just breaking also on the Bloomberg terminal earlier this morning the Euro area November manufacturing PMI figures still deeply mired in contraction territory 44 .2 was that PMI figure for the Euro area. Now let's discuss in greater depth for Israel resuming combat against Hamas in Gaza after a week -long pause that lapsed just earlier lapsed just earlier this morning. The US has said Israel that must not repeat the scale of destruction and displacement inflicted in on northern Gaza strip. Joining us now is Bloomberg's EMEA news director Rosalyn Matheson. Ros good morning thank you for being with us. So the resumption then of fighting this morning, air strikes, casualties, what do we know? Well we know that fighting resume pretty quickly centers the truest laps this morning. We know that Israel and Hamas traded accusations about who was at fault for that accusing each other of violating the terms of the ceasefire and as retaliating a result. But we know there have been fresh air strikes inside Gaza. For example, this morning the Hamas run health ministry there says there have been casualties. There are people also wounded who are turning up at hospitals and also what we know is that Israel is warning people in the Gaza Strip again that they're looking to move their operations south. So for now the fighting, the air strikes have mostly been concentrated but not just in the north of Gaza and Israel is really sending a message that they intend to move further south into Gaza. That's people where a lot have of been pushed to away from the fighting and they're warning people now watch out we're moving into those southern areas and that's where you're getting the warnings from the US and others saying please make sure that you do your best to minimize the civilian impact as the fighting spreads further south into the Gaza Strip. Yeah, Anthony Blinken, the US Secretary of State left Israel just before the resumption of fighting. How serious a warning is the US giving to Israel? Well you can see the shift in rhetoric really from the US over the arc of the last eight weeks also at the outset of course very strong statements support of for Israel in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attack which left you know many Israelis dead and hostages as a result but then the concern that's that's come in subsequent weeks about the humanitarian situation inside Gaza and the messaging now very much from the US administration again with Antony Blinken's recent trip there in the past day or so is again to make sure Israel is respecting international humanitarian law to doing it the most it can to minimize the civilian impact of the conflict inside Gaza and that's a warning probably being delivered both in public and in private but that said US is still a strong supporter of Israel in all of this and hasn't sort of said to Israel you know keep your war going you shouldn't do your the utmost to get rid of Hamas so the US is still walking a bit line of a there other countries of course have become more critical yeah and the in meantime the mediator Qatar in the diplomatic efforts around the the week truce saying that actually those truce talks are still ongoing according to them well that's and right it's interesting that at least those lines of communication are still there of course Qatar with the help of sort of other countries Egypt officials from the US has been mediating some of this since the outset even when the fighting was initially going on working towards finding a way to have at least a temporary truce in the fighting to allow aid to come in the exchange of hostages Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners in Israel so those conduits have been there throughout and obviously achieved that one week ceasefire but it's interesting that Qatar has been out very quickly this morning to say that that communication is ongoing hence the desire to perhaps find the way to get back to another temporary truce at least because there are still Israeli hostages inside Gaza and that's a priority for Israel and the US to get them out so we know that that track of communication is still at least ongoing. And we obviously keep our eyes focused also on tensions elsewhere in the Middle East tensions in the West Bank also on the northern border what happens with those? Well interesting it's because of course the focus of the temporary truce was on the fighting in Gaza but at the same time tensions over that occupied territory the West Bank they do continue to rise and we know that Israeli have carried out more than 220 attacks on Palestinian communities since October 7 and that's the claims by human rights groups who are tabulating these things and we know of course that's had a big impact not just on the West Bank which of course where everything is shut, streets are deserted, communities are cut off but also that 200 ,000 Palestinians used to come into Israel to work and they're not able to move freely at the moment so that's impacting also Israel itself, businesses and the economy there so we are seeing those claims of ongoing attacks in the West Bank and that's an area of course that we're also watching very closely as a result okay, Roz, thank you so much for being with me this morning, Berlin Berg's EMEA news

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,

"If you're not a faithful Jew if you don't really believe that and you just believe that it's an ethnicity then you fit in with the left -wing Democrat Party just as certain Catholics would or certain Protestants would or certain other people do and the reason is if you don't get real faith out of Judaism or real faith out of Catholicism or real faith out of Judaism then the faith you hold is the faith in government that in the Democrat Party and this is why Mises was talking everybody about talks like Marxists now you listen to the left whether they're Jews or otherwise they all sound like Marxists and so the secularization of the solely ethnic Jewish people as opposed to the Jewish people who are recognize themselves as both an ethnicity and a faith has led to a great divide within the which Jewish community is why you have a guy like Thomas Friedman over writing here in the United States in the New York Times trashing Netanyahu and his unity government over and over and over again for the right -wing extremist religious parties quote unquote you'll get that from the Democrat Party you'll get that from the American media you'll get that from the Biden administration these extremist religious Jews that's what they call them there's never an extremist Marxist whether they're Americans whatever their faith that no no no and here's the piece in Axios by Andrew Solynder little over a week ago scoop Jewish Democrats lead push for Gaza fuel shipments now why would Jewish Democrats be leading the fuel the

Aunt Retells the Tragic Story of J6 Defendant Matthew Perna
"Rest of your holiday weekend and please enjoy the show. Well if you listen to my show before I don't know if you just tuned in or when you tuned in but I was telling a story about these new January 6 videos which now clearly tell an entirely different side of the story I said a lot of stuff happened on that day we've talked about it candidly fairly on this show for a very long time what bothers me is the left was looking to hide an entirely different side of what happened that day not us it was them doing because they don't want you to see the entire story they want you to see what just died and one of the stories is about a really tragic case of a gentleman named Matthew Perna and here to discuss that is a good friend and a real warrior his aunt Jerry thanks a lot for taking the time we really appreciate you coming on today thank you for having me on well we met through police tapes this movie we did and I remember seeing you on the Dinesh had sent me kind of a screener rough cut of the movie and I'm watching you talk about Matthew and what happened to Matthew and my wife I looked over and she couldn't take it neither could I it was such a horrible story if you could tell the audience what happened with Matthew let's and yeah just just tell them what happened your your version of it is really kind of tough to listen to but everyone needs to hear it well Matt went to the Capitol on January 6th he thought going he to was be part of a celebration that day the crowd was big and he got you know into the crowd and it was announced that Mike Pence had certified the election results it wasn't exactly what what he had planned and as the crowd moved forward they went to the Capitol and he was in a huge crowd of people people and he did go in he went inside a door that had been previously opened he walked around inside the building filming from his phone and he walked out he went back to his hotel he made a live Facebook video talking about the day the video is still visible on our website he was very calm and cool just talking about the day and he he made a comment that he said Mike Pence proved himself to be a traitor today and he said but don't worry don't worry this isn't over yet and that was basically the way he said it and about a week or so later I'm sitting on my couch in Florida maps up in Pennsylvania and I saw a post Facebook that said the FBI had posted pictures of people from January 6 so I clicked on the link and I was scrolling through the photos and lo and behold there's Matt's picture and I was speechless I didn't know what to do so I called one of my brothers up in Pennsylvania and I said you need to go to Matt's house first thing in the morning his picture is on the FBI website so six o 'clock in the morning warning my brother shows up at Matt's house and Matt already knew that his picture was there and he and he had contacted a retired police officer and asked him what he should do he told him to call the local office saw the FBI in Newcastle Pennsylvania so at nine o 'clock in the morning that's exactly what Matt did and Matt seriously thought this was all a huge misunderstanding he just needed to explain that he didn't hurt anybody he didn't break anything and he thought this would be resolved and so the FBI came out to talk to him and I had a couple of my brothers there present as witnesses and they listened to Matt's story and they made it seem like yeah I was just a misunderstanding and they left and Matt called me and I said you know I don't like the sound of this I said I'm coming home so I a got on plane and I flew home that week and I said we need to get you a lawyer and we did we got him a lo lawyer and and behold the FBI showed up and arrested Matt that week while I was there and they took him in and they processed him and they may let him go he was not placed in custody he was told he had to report to somebody if he were to leave the was charged with four misdemeanors the regular ones the rating disorderly and conduct and we met with his attorney his attorney said oh this is nothing this is just a slap on the wrist you've never been arrested for anything before don't worry about it I've got this well then they slapped 220 of the J sixers with the felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and that's when it got serious but his attorney was still saying don't worry this is this is nothing so somebody sent me video that they had of matt outside of the capitol at 2 55 in the afternoon and I says well that's almost 45 minutes after congress adjourned you hadn't even gone inside yet he said no so I thought well there's your evidence right there it's right there on video you didn't go inside you didn't obstruct anything so I sent it to his attorney and his attorney said it nope doesn't matter they said he was there so it was an obstruction and and that video isn't going to help so this was a start of a nightmare a nightmare watching matt worry and deteriorate because the newspaper facebook social media everybody was brutal they were showing the video from january six that everybody has seen countless times and calling it an insurrection and matt's community turned against him his business which he ran through social media was taken away from him all of the accounts were he disabled and didn't want to leave his house anymore and he would have meetings with his attorney that were you would have to go into the attorney's office and they would meet with the judge via zoom because of the whole covid mess and they would cancel those meetings at the very last minute every and postpone them and it would just wear on him because he would prepare himself mentally what he was going to say and they would say up it's been canceled and this went on for quite some time and um that was deteriorating something awful he no longer ran he was a runner he gave away his television because he couldn't stand to see the news anymore with his picture on his dad was who is my oldest brother has parkinson's disease and it was affecting him something awful and matt felt very guilty about the effect it had on his dad and as the year was coming to a close it was almost christmas matt had lost a ton of wait he was vomiting blood at this point and he told his attorney just i just need this to be over what's the best way for this to be over his attorney said plead guilty you're looking at six to twelve months in a federal prison camp minimum security and matt says okay what then i'll that's do and matt was going to he told me i'll turn it into a positive he said i'll teach my fellow inmates help them get their geds i'll work on another degree for myself at the time matt was very intelligent and very giving so that was settled and the hearing was scheduled for march the third and a week before the hearing matt called his attorney and he said i just have a bad feeling it's just a counseling came over me so that's the day my mother died march the third his attorney says well matt i have bad case they've postponed your your hearing again to april fool's day and the prosecution is looking to add a sentencing enhancement of terrorism and this could have taken matt's sentence to nine years in jail matt called me on the phone sobbing that day uncontrollably sobbing sobbing i could not hardly understand him he kept telling me he he loved me kept apologizing to me for losing all of my friends because i lost every friend i almost almost everyone i ever had over this and i told him don't worry we're going to get through this together don't worry god's not going to let you go to jail i promise you this and he told me he loved me i told him i loved

Finding Your Source of Confidence, Strength and Security
"Extremely important to be confident. You know, they say the difference between a confident person and an arrogant person is that a confident person has nothing to prove, but an arrogant person appears to have to prove that they're confident. Isn't that funny? Now you got to know who you are. You got to know what you want to do and you got to figure out how to do it, but you got to be confident. And it's not that kind of confidence where you fake it till you make it. I mean, you've got to be confident. You know, you've got to be confident and I can make this thing work. When my phone didn't ring for two weeks, I was still confident I could make this thing work. At the time, all I had to do was just go out and work harder and meet more people and make my phone ring and that's what I did. So I also had, I had personally, my strength came from my faith in Jesus Christ. That's where I get my strength today from my faith in my Lord and Savior. And that's not for everyone and that's okay, but you've got to get your strength from something or someone in order to make it through the obstacles and the failures you're going to have. So, you've also got to be secure in being who you are at any time in your growth. You know, when I started joining some groups and I was just doing somewhere around 400 ,000 a year and I was joining groups sitting at tables with guys that were doing 4 million a year or 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, some higher than that, I still had to be confident sitting at that table. You know why? Because I realized everybody at that table started somewhere and I was okay with where I was. Now, I wanted to be larger for sure, but I was okay. I was a sponge around that table. I was learning and they learned a few things from me, but I was learning. And if you take a quick look at some very, very successful companies and the owners and founders of the company, you'll find they started with very little too. So let's take a look at them right now. Put them up on the screen. Let's take a look at Steve Jobs. I mean, Steve Jobs started in his dad's garage, as you know, if you've watched any of the Steve Jobs movies. How about Elon Musk? Take a look at that guy. He started in a small office in his house. And then there's Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos started... Look at that office. I mean, he started somewhere. I mean, Amazon wasn't an existence. It wasn't around. It wasn't... He started it. See, he started small and started selling books. You know why he started selling books? Because he figured it out that books could be shipped for about the same price. So it was an easy shipping. And then he went to CDs and DVDs, which was actually easier shipping. So that's what he started with and why. Isn't that kind of funny? And then of course, you know where Amazon's at today. Okay. So everybody starts somewhere and normally it's pretty small. So long story short, you got to be secure where you're at in your growth.

Successful People Don't Get Stuck on Failure
"Second year in my business, second year, not first year, not first month, second year in business, my phone didn't ring for two weeks. And a lot of people were saying, what are you going to do? I mean, you know, how are you going to make this work? Your phone's not ringing. What are you going to do? I could have easily quit. I could have easily tapped out right there. And then a few years later, I didn't tap out. It's gradually started growing. And my sixth year in business, I was applying for a building loan because we had plans to build a new building to get out of the garage that we had built the second year in business. And I went to five banks, five banks. They said, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way. And I could have easily thrown in the towel, tapped out right there. But I didn't. The sixth, the bank said, yes. And we were in business. I mean, we were building a building. And I got, you know, I got all the walls built on that building and I hired a contractor and we had to do a lot of, remove a lot of trees and do all the foundational work and all that kind of stuff. But they were putting the walls up and got all four walls up and they didn't have them supported well. And one Saturday they collapsed. Yeah, that's, a lot of people would have thrown in a towel right there because it's just, I don't give up easily. The contractor, it was his fault. He didn't have them supported properly. He fixed it, ended up building the building, blah, blah, blah. So you know, things happen. The list, my list of obstacles and failures go on and on and on and on and on. And successful people, they don't get stuck on failure. Failure is just part of the process to succeeding. And that's what you got to know.

Dessert (MM #4627)
"The Minute Mason with Kevin Mason. Like many, we'll be hitting the road for Thanksgiving. And our big concern, which isn't really a concern, but it's something that we've been talking about now for days, what are we doing for dessert? My wife has long been in charge of the desserts for the family. Sometimes it's an apple crisp, sometimes it's pumpkin pie, it's been chocolate pie, it's been Hoosier cream pie, and lots of things in between. But for tradition's sake, usually a pumpkin pie. That's cool. The nieces and nephews like apple crisp. That's great too, that works. They also like cookies, and she does great cookies. You know what? It doesn't matter. I will be satisfied with any dessert, because I've found very few desserts that have ever been a little disappointing. But whatever we get, that's good by me. But it's kind of funny how we're concerned with this. How this is a topic of conversation, not just one night, not just two, but over the course of weeks. My wife cares because she wants everybody to be happy. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Whatever's there on my plate, I'll fill it up and I'll eat it. And if it's pumpkin pie or apple crisp or cookies or whatever, I'll be very happy. I guess life is very good. We have lots to be thankful for. If the biggest concern we have right now is what's for dessert.

He's another guy like Zion where you're like, I mean, I think he's healthier, but you're like, how long can a human do this for? You know? Like he launches himself out of a cannon four times a game. It's amazing. Part of he kind of reminds me I grew up on, you know, the Charles Barkley team's right after that, obviously, was Allen Iverson. And he has super for what you're saying like launch himself out of a cannon for his size. Every time he goes into the air, I'm like, oh man, there's so much contact coming. I hope he doesn't hit the deck too hard. And then he springs back up and he's back at it and he's just like, he's a Jack in the box. It's amazing to watch. Can I throw some like, so also you get Steven Adams moments, which are just like each one of treasure. You know what I mean? The other day, I mean, he's like taking other people's towels. He's given him a job. You also get, if he ever makes it up to the big time roster on these games where he swings up, you get Kenneth Lofton junior, who is, as wide as he is tall, and he's like 6 5. He's a thick dude. It's fun to see someone out there who doesn't look like a NBA player, being an NBA player, just watching a big dude, somebody who are like, you can see yourself on the screen. If you're a thicker cut of meat, like I am, that alone is worth switching over. If like, hey, Kenneth Lofton, junior's getting some garbage minutes. Let me go see grimace sets and picks. You love a thicker color meat. I like that. I love it. I don't know. I don't know if I've told this story on the podcast before I just want to say real quick. I was in Oklahoma City doing a story on Chris Paul in December 2019, and I'm interviewing Steven Adams for it.

"It's very bleak. I mean, they're boring team to watch. They can't shoot. To me, 35% from the floor, 20% from three last night. I think said after the game last night, the Lakers are unexpected to trade routes until after Thanksgiving, I just don't know that they can afford to wait that long. I don't know how they can win games with this roster. And I tweeted as a joke mostly season right. It's like could any non AD or LeBron player crack the warriors rotation? Could any non AD or LeBron player crack the clippers rotation? I mean, would you take any of their three to 15 over one to 11 on the clippers? No, you wouldn't. It's just not a good team. It's not a well constructed team. It's boring to watch. I can't get over I know I'm leaning back at it. I just seeing them in person, the warriors are almost treating that opening night game like a preseason game. I mean, the number of bench layers are cycling in and out. No one's really playing that many minutes. I don't know, it's not sustainable. Those doing that was not sustainable. What's two games in? And I do just want to flag that. It's two games in. However, and they did play two really good teams two of the best teams in the Western Conference and start the season. But I would be worried, right? Because as you mentioned, beyond LeBron and AD, and I thought AD looked good, there was a little scare there per usual because it's AD and you never know what's going on with him health wise. And pinna Michael, who has left us tweeted right before we started that in 68 minutes so far this season, the Anthony Davis has no assist. But okay, fine, Anthony Davis has to do what Anthony Davis has to do to carry the team offensively. So him being a little bit more ball dominant. I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with the rest of that roster though. That's something that we'll definitely continue to monitor. And I was more optimistic than you when we when we talked about, hey, are the Lakers going to make the cut for the playoffs? Two games in and I'm already going, oh man, the plan would be great for them.

"One of them. Made sense. That might be a little bit of a fall for him, but you never know what these interior lineman late in the draft. So yeah. Yep. All right. I mean, I remember in 2020, I didn't think Mike on when it would be there in the 6th round and look what happened. So everybody was inherent. And not that Justin runs a bad player, but that was the guy everybody thought, oh, Justin Iran, they might have something here. Oh, I love this one. Yeah, I really loved it. But I will admit that a Brandon Thornton we had on a few weeks ago was the first one to introduce me to before the draft. And he was the one that was really, you know, the ringleader of that one. Christopher Allen from Alabama really injury riddled a career at Alabama. Otherwise, if he's healthy these days on the field, who knows, I mean, he could be a top 100 pick. You know, that kind of talent, right? So yeah, physical, well made NFL ready frame very, very good edge setter can play the run and rush the passer. He's got a complete skill set if you can stay healthy. The reason why you're getting him all the way down here is because he's always heard. So the Patriots ten chances on these types of guys all the time. They take chances on these types of guys, and I think Christopher Allen could be another one of those. You get the thumbs up from Nick Saban. He stays on the field. You get lucky, stays on the field. I think that he's got some real strong side edge potential for the Patriots. I think he could start at that position if he's healthy. Yeah, I mean, it's a risk. You don't know if he's gonna barely play in college, but in the 6th round, this is the kind of guys you're taking. And I don't think that's the worst thing in the world. DJ Davidson, Arizona state, gotta get in Arizona state, sun devil in there. That's the thing now. 6 three three 27 to quote Phil.

"We'll be great. Did what he can play on the ball off getting coups mma and casey p mantras herro. All the guys from the lakers. Like just filled out the roster. They needed veteran help. They just they were so thin and relying so much on their youth and they were so you know obviously just backward heavy and so the cap room and the minutes. It's just gonna be spread across more capable bodies. And they'll just going to be more functional. I like what they have right now. Zooming thomas bryant comes back healthy. To now you've got multiple bigs between thomas bryant and herald and gaffer who was a really nice find late in the season great deal for gaffer that that can play. He is exactly what you need in the modern nba kind of spring. Big man and listen. Look chris you glance at this and no added glance that in star driven league bradley beal. Plus a bunch of really good players is not going to make you a contender. It's not even necessarily going to get them to crack the top six in the east because he's gotten tough but there. I think there are a playoff team at a minimum of play team. And they've got all these all these movable pieces now so when the next opportunity comes to try to upgrade around bill. You've got guys you can move. You're not stuck with john. Wall deal that you have to flip for a russell westbrook or stuck with russell. Westbrook you've got flexibility. I like where they are. I don't know how good this team will be. I really don't are they. Five hundred a couple of games over. I'm not sure. But i like what they've got very interested to see where it goes and if nothing else it sure seems like. They've sold bradley beal on their future. I mean you're not hearing a lot around the league our about the availability of bradley. Beal there are still teams that are trying to keep their powder dry in case bill becomes available. But if i had to say anything this is more than anything i've heard from washington internally but around the league like the perception. They don't believe bill's going anywhere they believe. Whether it's in october or end of the season that is going to be in washington long-term so if you accomplish that and you're the wizards you've done your job like that's it. You get to keep bradley beal. Twenty eight year old in his prime all star to kind of build around. Now that keeps you relevant in that market. So the wizards. That's that's a big time win for you. You you've struggled make the playoffs. That's a win no matter what this time next week howard we are going to have actual training camp things to talk about after media days. Open up see what the lakers say. The nets say all across the league. We'll try to figure this out so finally we will be back with a real stuff next week. Our probably more than we can even possibly handle. We may need to expand the show by an hour or something but can't wait looking forward to it. We'll see you next week talk.

"They're both really talented. But they're both six one most people would tell you. That's probably not a great plan for the future going forward in terms of especially defensively at some point. You're going to pick one or the other. So there's that mobile now and there's a case to be. They fit together but now it's kind of this reclamation project high pick and in chicago showed some promise they gave up on him. Finally can you. This is up. that's a value play right so value. Play well hopefully we get more out of market and then the bullet kevin love is sitting there. That contract has been a disaster from the moment. he signed it a few years ago. They're still dealing with that. So they're in this sorting out phase right. We acquire jared allen we acquire the market and we got this high pick immobile. He's really promising. Could be one of the great young bigs in the league of everything breaks right all these things but we don't know how it fits together or what. The bigger picture plan is as you know if it all comes together and at some point you have to move on from kevin love who are taking a massive amount of cap room but not doing anything for them. And there's another immovable asset. I don't. I don't think we're gonna see a john wall for kevin love deal. But but he's in that category of of really difficult to trade assets the the the question from our our follower twitter can't remember the name when you brought up the question but like fight for a playoff spot. I mean basic math. Says they're just not even anywhere near here. The teams that are definitely ahead of the cleveland. Cavaliers start the season brooklyn milwaukee philadelphia. Miami atlanta boston new york washington indiana toronto. And probably even charlotte so no. The cavaliers are not making charlotte definitely charlotte. Charlotte's can be pretty good this year. toronto maple will happen with raptors. But now they're they're a ways off from making the plaza just trying to find peace that work fit long-term and then think about the playoffs Year from now bardo thank you for that name blurred. Oh he asks any reason to think the kings will be over five hundred this year. Howard i don't think of the kings as the canning's anymore. I don't think they're as dysfunctional as they used to be. That's a credit to monte mcnair. Who i think has brought some some strength to that front office but but no. I don't think they'll be above five hundred. I love their offensive firepower. Yarn fox is explosive. Buddy healed can shoot harrison barnes. They held onto in part because they wanted to make a playoff push this year. But the gotta play defense to make the playoffs. Our and that team doesn't offend anybody so they've been in the thirties for most of the last five years or so in terms of win totals. I can see them being in the low to mid thirties again this year unless something changes to give them some kind of defensive presence because they don't play it luke walton to this point hasn't really coached it and if you're going be all offense no defense..

"It doesn't do the rockets. Any good in terms of his trade value understand. It does them gooden's in the sense that the rockets want to move onto the next phase. They want to put the ball in the hands of their young players. And go ahead and continue essentially to to your at least tank job. Get another high pick. John wall might accidentally win them some games. But also you're gonna mist of a youth movement. So i get that but there is no market for a player with that contract right now especially one who has the injury history. Recently that he does so descending sending him home and having him sit out doesn't make any real sense on a practical level he should be playing but it certainly sounds like this is a case where we made just not see john wall again for a year. Now i agree with you. I think there's reason to for wall to come back and play like he might be able to enhance his trade value if he plays. Well i mean. I give them all the credit in the world. He came back from that injury. He was in shape like the games he was playing in. He was in shape but he's still shot like forty percent from the floor. Thirty one percent from three guys like that don't have. They don't have a massive market value. So if he comes back if he plays well maybe this team out there. It says legario. John wall street thirty one years old spending multi time all star. Maybe we'll take them on. But i think coming back is in his best interest and plays as best. There's all the way around all right. Let's jump into some of the questions here and us begin with joel. who asks. is it realistic to expect cleveland to fight for a playoff spot. When should we expect them to stop being so bad. Not realistic in my mind. Howard i think the big question for cleveland this year as their roster stands is ken collins. Sexton and darius garland play together at a high level. And can jared allen and evan mobely play together at a high level. Those are the the pairings that cleveland has committed to. and sexton's up for a big contract. They just gave jared allen a big contract. I guess they assume that he can play alongside moby. But i think it's more another. It's a developmental year for cleveland. If it turns out that both those things the answer to both those questions are yes then maybe a year from now. We expect cleveland to compete for a playoff spot. But they've got a lot of questions including kevin love like they do with him this season and beyond so i think it's more about development again in cleveland with the playoffs. Still kind of far off. I'll throw one more in there. You mentioned the two guards and having to figure out whether that works and whether that's the plan going forward and the two bigs there's a third because they acquired lowry marketing in that three-team deal that sent larry nance to portland. So where does morgan fit with these. Other two bigs. He's starting at a mobely. And are you are easing into it and listen. You can have a very functional three-man big rotation like that's a pretty good group but you still have to figure out the fit among those three and how any two of the three play together this team to meet. Chris feels like the the prototypical. We're just now throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks. And i don't mean necessarily in a negative way there you've got your back court..

Most goff mates seventy percent of her first serves one seventy three percent of those points. Safe eight nine break point chances for at least mertens who get had plenty of tunes to get that break back in that third sunhat opportunities in that final game as well but look when you have confidence when you've put four the results that gough had over the last fifty two weeks you get through a match like this. She was able to do so. You look for coke off now. She's got another tricky one against big hitting another player. Move the ball around really well in sevastopol who's also gonna throw a lot more slice at her probably tomorrow than cocoa than excuse me And mertens. There's the name is looking for did today.

Well you guys have hit the nail right on the head. And i mean it's what i've seen so far is basically the left's attempt to flush america down the toilet and we're spinning cycle right. Now is the turds fixing to just go by by the most part and seen our troops on the floor of parking garage and feeding them basically crap and until Some of the other elected officials had to show up in at least get them pizza. I mean that's bullshit in our nation's capital no less. I mean i can understand if our soldiers were overseas or there were some foreign country or whatever the case might be. But this is our nation's capital they were called upon to defend. I'm so glad that. As far as i know right now. Texas and florida are the only ones that pull the troops back. And i do know then greg. Abbott received a call to allow the troops to stay longer and he basically told him to go fuck themselves. Which is i'm glad he did. Because you know these troops are over there. Doing what they can and they're over they're treating them like shit and like they Greg abbott said. These are not nancy. Pelosi's bill boys or whatever it was that he called Yeah i mean these are her slaves personal slaves and it was just amazing to hear all this and then a top it off like you said.

He stopped building the wall. That protects said a salad southern texas citizens from the drugs the criminals that are flooding across our borders. There were numerous numerous reports of of two three days. Before the inauguration of uncle joe biden of convoys of people flooding to the borders to leave mexico to come into the united states now. I'm not saying that. All immigrants are bad breath saying that all people that you're coming from overseas into this country are horrible people but there are a few that are we. Don't mean that in this country we have enough in our own country. We have our own veterans who fought and died for the freedoms in this country. Who were living in the streets. Because they can't get a leg up anywhere and we're taking care of people who are coming across the border being drugs child trafficking in raping and killing and murdering people over our own soldiers who are on the streets and they don't care the left side doesn't care in. How do they illustrate since they don't care they had our own reserve. Is our own national guard sleeping in a garage. That's how much they care about our military.

And he's legal gun owners just like you and me. If you have an assault weapon you'll be charged an extra two hundred dollars per magazine and if it's berlin a thirty pack magazine. You're going to pay extra for that. Really tore my ass. Just like what gordon said. He's welcoming immigration with the ability to have green cards available as soon as they hit the united states worth adding..
