A highlight from IP#499 Gil Bailie The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self on Inside the Pages with Kris McGregor Discerning Hearts podcasts
"Discerninghearts .com presents Inside the Pages, insights from today's most compelling authors. I'm your host, Chris McGregor, and I'm delighted to be joined by Gil Bailey, who is the founder of the Cornerstone Forum and a member of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars and the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology. He is the author of God's Gamble, The Gravitational Power of Crucified Love. With Gil Bailey, we go inside the pages of The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood, published by Angelico Press. Gil, thank you so much for joining me. Thank you so much for having me. Pleasure to be here. It was just wonderful being able to dive into the pages of The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self. I found it to be so provocative and also very compelling. It's one of those kind of books that causes you to look at things through different, maybe clear lenses. Does that make sense? Well, I hope so. That flatters me, but that was my intent. It's a complex problem we face, but I tried to lay it out in a way that would be at least interesting to the reader. Now, I should bring out the full name, including the subtitle, The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood. Could you break that open for folks and help them understand why this is such an important subject right now? Well, first of all, before you get to the two, really two halves of the book, the first part, The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, and the second part, Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood. We're in a civilizational crisis, and it's a political and a political crisis, a deep relative to moral and spiritual crisis. And my friend and mentor, Rene Girard, summed up in one of their books when he wrote, No one takes the trouble to reflect uncompromisingly on the enigma of a historical situation here that is without precedent the death of all cultures. Now, that's a sweeping statement, but it's like statements made by Benedict XVI on Balthasar and others. It recognizes the unique depth of the crisis that we've been entering into for a long time. I think one of the key features of this crisis is that we have failed to recognize and do justice to the very thing that sets us apart, sets our human beings apart from the whole created order, namely our religious longing. It's a longing which cannot be extinguished. It's the only question of orienting it towards its fulfillment or squandering it on idols. And in our time as faith has receded, many are eager to reflect before any ideological fraction that promises to relieve the boredom of not having a real collision. So that's the situation we face. And in the first part of the book, I try to draw it out in that chapters are, you know, I'm not an academic. I have a law degree and I never practiced law, but I began reading Western China many, many years ago. So the way to make this crisis intelligible and easy to recognize is I lay it out in chapters where I talk about people like Bob Dylan and Theresa Mitzvah and Flannery O 'Connor and Virginia Woolf and Descartes and Rousseau and Nietzsche and T .F. Eliot and Freud and all these. But in each of these chapters, I try to tease out one of the facets of spiritual crisis. And in the second half of the book, there's an edition on something. I mean, the way to summarize it is from Romano Lardini wrote in the 20th century, a book strikingly entitled The End of the Modern World. And in it, there's something that summarizes the second half of the book. Well, it actually connects the first half and the second half. And I'm going to quote it to you. The knowledge of what it means to be a person is inextricably bound up with the faith of Christianity. An affirmation and cultivation of the personal can endure for a time perhaps after faith has been extinguished. But gradually, they too will be lost. So the knowledge of what it means to be a person inextricably bound up with Christianity came into our vocabulary, our intellectual vocabulary. When Tertullian defined the Trinity as three persons and one God. So the word self and the word person are not only not synonymous, they are antonyms in a way. A person called in sin. The self is an antonymic creature who regards the will and the essential component of this being. And that whole triumph of will to coin a threat, not to coin a threat, but to pick up on Christ, so to say, with Nietzsche and Hitler. We think everything depends on our will. And I don't have a quote in front of me, but in the Casey decision, I think it was 1990, the Supreme Court said in the majority opinion that everyone has a right to use their own reality, to define reality. That's Nietzsche. That's that, of course. Right. But now it's become part of our it's what it's what a lot of people believe. And that's why we have friends, gender nonsense and who knows what else. But you can just make it up as you go along. If it's your reality is entirely up to you to determine by an act of will. And it's unbelievable what comes of that. And what we have to understand is that we are not the world does not conform to our will. We conform to our own. We are called in them. So anyway, the crisis we're living in is a crisis that became cultural with Nancy and Piddler and so on. But now it's become conventional in the sense that triumph of the will is everywhere. It's at one time, of course, and it's degradation of our real person to be a person is to be called in sin. And I think it's imperative we understand the predicament that we're in. And I think that's really important. I think for most in the culture today, for several generations, at the very least, if not many more in that we've never had the types of conversations in our formation, our educational venues about this particular subject. I mean, you spoke of a great friendship you had with Rene Girard, an important figure, philosopher, teacher, Stanford, and some would say a theologian. I know that Bishop Baron referred to him as one day. He may be considered, as he said, a father of modern theology because of what he described as that mimic theory that we as individuals and not necessarily as persons, because there's that distinction between the individual and what it is to be a person. And you knew him very well. That whole understanding of, as some would say, the mimic theory. What are your thoughts about that? Well, it was a great privilege to know him and he dispensed with him for decades. And I think his work will take a while, like all great thinkers. It takes a while to sort itself out. The first take on Girard is that it's all about violence and imitation. And of course, in some way it is. And my first book was all about that. But there's so much more to it. And one of the things I tried in this book is to expand the understanding of Girard's his favorite theologians are the same as mine. It was John Culver II, Benedict, Van Valken, even though Van Valken had some complaints about Rene's early work. And that's before the real theological implications came out in its later book. But he had great affection for John Culver II and especially for Cardinal Ratzinger, Benedict XVI, but also do it again, and so on. So I try to integrate Rene's work with these theologians. And I think it helped fill out a deep Catholic understanding of our crisis. And so I think we're in a difficult situation. But we have been given intellectual and spiritual giant whose work now we can make available to ourselves that would reckon with the predicament we're in. Well, I think that's how Rene Girard and how someone even like a G .K. Chesterton, for example, they were able to challenge them in their early lives when they looked at literature, when they looked at art and those popular cultural icons, those types of works that had deeper meanings to them. And they were able to see certain truths and certain movements and things. And then they came out and then they expressed it, why it touches the human heart in certain ways, either for good or for ill. And they were able to distinguish that. And I think that's the importance of looking at those figures who have a gift for that. And you do that, like you said, whether it's Bob Dylan or it's Flannery O 'Connor or even someone who captures the heart and imagination of the world like a tres. What is it that they're trying to communicate to us in? What is the potential, the beauty, the good, the true, but also the warning that are contained in their expressions of their works? And I think that's what you're trying to do in the book, in each of the many, many chapters that you have on those different type of whether it's literature or it's prose or, again, even in music. And so I think that is a wonderful way to go about it, don't you? You know, I'm so happy you mentioned it because it reminds me of something that I think your listeners might be interested in. It's a way of approaching the situation we're in. von Balfour Jarre, in one of his writings, says to human history after the Christian revelation, consist of a mutual intensification of the yes and no to Christ. Now pause and think about that. History after Christ consists of the mutual intensification of the yes and no to Christ. If that seems to require too much theological sophistication. Bob Dylan said something exactly like that in this 1979 song, God Accured Somebody, in which he said, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're going to have to bury somebody. So both the theologian and the popular poet listed only two choices. The theologian said it's the yes or no to Christ, and the poet musician said we're going to end up serving either the devil or the Lord. Now where Testament comes in is the Testament said once that if everyone, I'm going to paraphrase him because I think it's a little punchier to say this, like if everyone lived a thousand years they would all die Catholic, which is the paraphrase of what he once said. And the reason is, I would say, he didn't spell it out, I'm going to, if we had a thousand years of experience to look back on, we would realize that all the little choices were made along the way were in some small way the yes or the no to Christ, or the choice between the devil and the Lord. And then we would understand, if we had a thousand years of experience, that the drama of history is the mutual intensification of yes and no to Christ. And the implication that for our time and thought is that as the world becomes more emphatic in its projection of Christianity, we have to become more compelling in our sense of Christ in its church. over spiritual 3000 formation programs and prayers, all available to you with no hidden fees or subscriptions.

We're talking with Gail Bailey, the author of The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, recovering the Christian mystery of personhood. To understand the importance of what it is to be a person, the Church Fathers didn't use until it was really brought into the context of the Trinity, the three persons, as you pointed out. But what is the Trinity? It's relational. It's a relationship. There's an identity, but it's also in relation. So when Dylan talks about whether you are to serve, you got to serve somebody, it's either going to be the devil or it's going to be Christ. And that entails when you serve, it's going to be relational. You can't get out of it. And to say that I have this individual autonomy all to myself to do and think the way I want to, it's to negate the relationship. And you can't get around that. But yet that's what the culture is implying, isn't it? It is. And one of the things that's lost in that emphasis on self and self -will is the idea and this is involved with our great contribution, the idea of the field drama that we are in, we live dramatically, we're part of a drama that's unfolding and our task is to live and our task is to fulfill the obligation that are incumbent upon us as members of the cast. We have to live in such a way that we ourselves and our loved ones and spreading out for those we know or maybe those of you catch a glimpse of us coming out of the church on Wednesday morning and wonder what the heck are people doing in church on Wednesday morning. Whatever it is, we have an obligation to live in the drama on behalf of Christ in this church in whatever way we can. Whatever our role in life, our vocation in life, our situation, there's always an opportunity to be an icon of Christ and to contribute to the historical field drama that way. And for years I've quoted the 13th century Islamic poet Rumi who said, and I'm gonna quote, he said, be like one who when he walks into the room, luck shifts to the one who needs you. And there's a Christian analog to that which is of course St. Peter who said always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks here to give a reason for the hope you have. So we have to be beacons of a hope that may be totally puzzling to others but if we live in such a way that it's compelling, they will at some point want to find out how we tend to have that hope and a conversation can be had that could be very fruitful. So we live dramatically, not in some self -conscious way or in a physical way, but our lives should be evangelical in the sense that we should be willing and eager to allow anyone who cares to know why it is we had hope even when the situation is, it's never hopeless, but is dire as there is today and may very well be more so in the future.

Welcome another into episode of the Monday Morning Quarterback Podcast. I am Matt Verderen. He is Gilberto Manzano. We will be here throughout the entirety of the season, well through the Super Bowl. We are The Midweek Show. We did it last week and we wanted to take a quick step back here before we go forward and kind of introduce ourselves since people who have listened to the SIE Podcast before are probably extremely familiar with Albert Breer and Conor Orr, along with many others. Mitch Goldich, our editor. And we just wanted to kind of give you guys a little bit of a background on us. You probably were like, who are these guys? What's going on? Hopefully you've read our stuff and you're familiar. But in any event, Gil, I'll see the floor to you, man, if you want to just kind of give yourself a little quick intro to the audience. We probably should have done a week ago, but better late than never. Yeah, I feel like maybe last week we were unsure about the pilot episode. Maybe we won't get picked up for week two or whatever it is right now. Week zero, right? Apparently in football. But yeah, we're going to keep doing this and maybe we need a better name, Matt. But Midweek Show, I'm OK with that right now. But to introduce myself, I am Gilberto Manzano. Gilberto or Gilbert or Gil is fine too. And Matt, I know it's your last time people always ask, how do you pronounce it? I think I got that one right. So it's always good to ask. And for me, I just started in February with SI. I was covering the Rams last year. I was covering the Chargers four years before that. And I was covering the Raiders a couple of seasons before that. So I've been all over the West Coast covering the teams there. Before that, I even worked at NFL .com. I was somewhat of already a co -worker of Albert Breer and Connor Orr at NFL .com. I don't think Albert Breer even knew who I was back then. But he was doing TV. I used to see him all the time on TV. And then with Connor Orr, I used to be kind of his editor. It was a little weird because I was 22 or 23 at the time. But he will follow the stories and I will read it. And I knew him from from back then. That's awesome. That's awesome.

Welcome to the MMQB podcast. I am Matt Verteram, joined by Gilberto Manzano here. It is Thursday, August 24th, and that means we only have one week of preseason football up. We're all thankful for that. Gil, have you finished up your training camp tour? Are you done now, or you still got a few more you gotta hit? Yeah, no, I'm done, and when you said the date, Matt, I actually forgot what date it is today, so that tells me we're two weeks away from the real football season, so I am done with training camp. I don't know about you, Matt, but after like the fifth or sixth stop, I was over it. I saw enough, you know, kind of somewhat real football. I did check out a couple scrimmages, which felt like a little bit of real football, but before that I was like, I'm over the traveling. Let's just get to the Chiefs and the Lions for that. There's a night opener. Yeah, man, I went to eight camps. I saw nine teams because the Lions and the Giants had joined practice when I was up in Allen Park. The day that I woke up in Kansas City, I actually didn't know what city I was in when I woke up. I had like a two -second, I don't know if panic's the same. So, I'm done. I finished on Tuesday. I went up to Green Bay for the last one, which was kind of more of an add -on at the end. I had gone up there for OTAs to do a feature on Jordan Love, and I wanted to go back up there and visit with Matt Lafleur, and it was worth the six -hour round trip. It was a long, long bit of traveling one day, but we made it happen. How many camps did you get to over the course of the summer? I got to, I want to say eight, and I had like you with the extra one with the Saints. The Saints came to Southern California for joint scrimmage with the Chargers, so technically nine teams, but the way I think I did it was, I think it was five states. I drove to Las Vegas and Arizona, and then I flew to San Jose, Seattle, and Denver, and going from Seattle to Denver, that's the one I felt. But yeah, man, I primarily got the West Coast teams. I got, you know, eight teams. The ones that were easy was the ones in my backyard in LA, the Cowboys, the Chargers, and the Rams, but you know, after the, I got on the plane. You know, at one point I started thinking, I don't know how you did it, Matt, because you were driving everything. Me driving to Las Vegas and Arizona, that was too much. I couldn't do any more car rides after that. Yeah, I didn't fly for any of them. I'm based outside of Chicago. You're based in Los Angeles, so you, your teams are more sprawling for you. I mean, you're not driving to Seattle from LA. For me, the longest drive I had was Kansas City, which was like six and a half hours each way. So I did, I did make that happen. But luckily, like Chicago to Indy's not bad. Indy to Cincinnati's a couple hours. You know, it wasn't, wasn't too bad. Look, we're going to get into Trey Lance. We're going to get into, there was an injury at Broncos camp earlier today before us recording with Jerry Jeudy, with what appears to be a hamstring injury. We'll talk about that a little bit. But I, I want to ask you, so the eight teams you saw, or the eight practices you was the most impressive? And was there a team that stood out to you, either good or bad, that you were kind of surprised by? Yeah, it's a tough question, man, because I was thinking that because I got, I got a good balance of really bad teams from Arizona. I saw our guy, Connor Orr, had him at one and 16 for the, for his win -loss record, a story that came out today. So they, they, they looked like they're going to be really bad. And it was tough for me to figure out who's who on that roster. So I got that. And then I got all the really good teams, like the 49ers, you know, I'm high on the Seahawks, you know, that from our doing our, our midsummer prediction, by the way, that was tough. We had to pick our Super Bowl teams in what, like April or May we're going to do it again. And I'm so happy about that, but the Seahawks look good. I like the Cowboys a lot, but every year it's the same thing. Like they get far and they don't get past the second round. So I can't commit to them. Same thing with the Chargers. They just don't go far. Like they're really hyped to have a lot of good players. So I keep going back to the 49ers because they've shown to me to at least get to the Super Bowl, or at least make it to the NFC title game. And then Brock Purdie being healthy. That to me was all I needed to see to say, you know what? I like the Seahawks, but I'm going to leave that bandwagon and go to the 49ers. Do you believe in Purdie? I mean, look, obviously you believe in him enough that you're, you're, you're high in the Niners, but you know, they'll roll with Purdie, which we knew they would, if he was healthy. Lance is the third string guy. And I know you wrote a piece on trail, Lance, we can get to him in a little bit here. The roster's stacked. I don't think anybody questions that. I mean, they have all pros literally in almost every single meeting room. They, they, they have guys everywhere. They have a very good head coach in Kyle Shanahan, but they've been a team that they haven't found their quarterback or at least they haven't proven to have found their quarterback yet. They went to Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, of course, now with the Raiders, who you saw as well during your tour.

CNN Sacks Don Lemon Minutes After Tucker Carlson Exits Fox
"Write a lot of articles for stream dot org. Has streamed on org fired Tucker Carlson. I'm just curious. No, they fired Don lemon. Okay. Yesterday by CNN, I guess this already works. And it's kind of funny that that happened on the same day a little bit like Aldous Huxley and C. S. Lewis dying on the same day as JFK, almost exactly like that. Almost exactly. It strikes me more as like a totalitarian regime arresting the right wing dissonance and the left wing dissonance of the same time. I bet there's some guys some veal pale Gil graduates who is probably in the whiff and poofs. Now working at the State Department who's in charge of coordinating disinformation management. And he decided that if we want to get rid of Tucker Carlson and obviously we do, we're going to have to throw a bone. So let's get rid of Don lemon too. The ministry of truth has coordinating both wings of the disinformation machine that you call the mainstream media. And so oh, we want to get rid of extremes on both sides. So it's okay that we got rid of Tucker Carlson because we got rid of Don lemon. It's okay that I'm beating you with a rubber trench and 'cause I'm playing classical music in the background. Don. Don lemon was increasingly an embarrassment to CNN, which is kind of saying a lot.

Steve Gill: Tennessee to Ban Gender Transition Procedures for Minors
"Gil joining us as well, and Steve on another big issue in Tennessee. The state poised to become the first in the nation the first in the nation to implement a ban on these gender transition surgeries for minors. Yeah, I think there are a lot of disturbing things about this. The permanency of these surgeries on minors that you have somebody from Vanderbilt university actually commenting about how it's a money maker for them. So the profit motive, the permanency of these dramatic decisions at very, very young ages for these kids, whether it's their parents making the decision from some sort of a perverted approach by them or whether it's these ten, 12 year old kids saying, well, I think I really feel like a girl or a boy, the permanence is disturbing, but to me, Todd, what's more disturbing is that the Democratic Party as a party is so embracing these sorts of just disgusting approaches to how we handle mental health issues. And the same thing is with the drag shows for children. I mean, if adults want to dress like a woman and cavort and gyrate and do these perverted dances for other adults, you know, I'm not happy with that, but that's their own business. But when they seem absolutely dedicated to doing it in front of young children to bring in their perverted performances to young children, that's disgusting, but what's more disgusting is that the Democratic Party is such morally depraved as a party that they are defending the drag shows. They are defending these permanent surgeries for young children who clearly have mental health issues. And I think this is a bigger story than just the perversion that is taking place in our society. It's that the Democratic Party is so adamant about defending it.

Dinesh and Daughter Danielle Discuss the Left's Distorted View of the Working Class
"It's been really fun to have my daughter Danielle de Sousa Gil in town. We've been hanging out and we're about to head to California. The whole gang because we're doing some filming there for this new movie. But I thought it'd be fun to talk on the podcast today about an interesting article that it just came across about the culture war. Now, the culture war is thought to be a war over values. The leftist promoting progressive values, the right is promoting conservative values and I think the interesting thing Danielle about this is that a lot of people on the left think that working class people are economically liberal. But socially conservative. And the left thinks, wait a minute, why do these working class people always want to vote for their values, things like they don't like the gays? They all for guns there. They're religious fanatics. Why don't they vote their economic interests? We the Democrats are willing to give them all these benefits, but evidently those benefits are are not appealing. So what is what is wrong with this liberal logic that sees the working class as deluded and incapable of understanding its own interests? Well, the left always thinks that they know what's best. They always think that the leftist and leads like joy behar know what's best for people who are these maybe working class. I wouldn't say that actually they are mostly liberal because we've seen so many more people moving to the conservative side just because of this because they've realized that it's the conservative method that helps them to do better, whereas this idea that just getting by on welfare that whatever the left is offering them is obviously not working for them. So I think that they would know what's best, not these other experts who would be telling them what's
Identity at the Center
"gil" Discussed on Identity at the Center
"Vaudeville on the stage. Beat the guy over the head with a squeaky rubber chicken kind of thing and we had a literally had a line of thirty people at our booth. Everybody had no idea what we did or cared. What they wanted was a rubber chicken and it just it was just one of those weird thing so i i kind of adopted the rubber chicken hand a used it at our conferences. The directory experts conference. And i would use it to start the entire event. I get up on stage. Five six hundred people in the audience. Squeak the chicken in the microphone and everybody goes quiet. So that's that's That's sort of the brief history of and now it's at the point where a every couple of months or so rubber chickens appear at my door and i don't know who it is or who they might be but some people have decided that they should send me rubber chickens periodically. So i i just kind of appear in a box. They're from milwaukee. Or they're from china. Or i have no idea. It's it's pretty weird. I guess there's worse things you could be getting in the mail. I guess i would take as a form of flattery getting fan mail in the rubber but i can only imagine. Customs are import officer or something like that opened the box. What the is gil doing. Actually so what are the guys. One of our speakers at this Directory experts conference Flew over from the netherlands. Where lives and he brought a whole bunch of rubber chickens with to give out to people in the sessions and he of course got stopped and he had to fill out the form about what was what was in there and there wasn't enough space to really describe what it was so it was a box of sixty robbers and it's a endless fun. What can i say. I i think they the only problem is i just have this terrible. Fear that on my my gravestone won't say anything about you know improve. The security posture of thousands of organizations wrote great books and magazine articles or anything like that is going to just have a rubber chicken. And it'll be like. I think jim morrison's grave in france which i've been to or they leave gum thing like that but i think you'll be known as kind of that guy i guess for better for worse We're out of time here but so but before we go. I want to kind of pass it around the room real quick for any final thoughts or comments or words of wisdom gill that you wanna drop onto our listening audience when it comes to. How should they be looking at modern or modern approaches. I guess really to kind of securing hybrid identity. I guess the thing i would say is is covered. Identity in cloud based identity are major steps up from what we can do on prim with something like active directory but the security problems are still largely the same. they don't just magically go away Maybe there's a little surface area after worry about but all of the basics still apply. You still have to put your smart security guy hat on and you have to do the work no around jim. How about yourself to go back to something. A gill said about giving away conference novelty. So i just had a funny story. I've gotta share so one year when we're with identity. Jeff chang decided. Hey we'll get these reusable solo cups with the identity logo on it and we'll have like beer. Alcohol will separate little bar and we get the conference center like No you can't giveaway alcohol. You're so we had these solo cups hundreds of them and nobody wanted them. I mean people were walking by really. Hey you wanna solo cup..

"It am i right there. Is that kind of where you're focuses and tell us about that. So that's your. I would say in the last four or five years. This is this has changed the security landscape substantially. And if you look at how these attacks transpire almost all of them. Now go through active directory in some way or another and it's not because active directory is quote insecure. It's it's sort of been the nature of a global. Were enterprise scale single sign on system that that it has these kinds of characteristics that companies can that attackers can take advantage of up. So it's empress were were focused on the security of the hybrid identity system. So that includes on. Prem starts with on prem goes to azure ad octa All the other identity systems that you might have and we we basic. We have an approach similar to the Sf that we look at. What did you do before an attack what you do during an attack. And what do you do. After the attack and in many cases when attackers have managed to get into your active directory and say domain accent the doing been access They can encrypt your domain controllers. They can corrupt the ad in some way they can give themselves back doors. They can create account new accounts for themselves. They can alter Grew policy. They can distribute files to all of the workstations through successful replication. There's there are a lot of things in active directory that the attackers can take advantage once. They've managed to get to domain adleman. And so you mentioned disaster recovery in particular. The story is not for disaster. Recovery for active directory isn't any different than it was fifteen years ago. It's just that people now have to worry about it so active directory. The last twenty years has proven to be very robust and resilient in the face of of those typical disasters like the asteroid. Taking your data center right every other part of active directory will continue to work just fine but rancher different in that it's a systemic attack so Once they once they get in they can then essentially corrupt all your domain controllers more or less instantaneously and recovering from that kind of it from an attack. that kind of attack is really really hard And it's something that microsoft never really addressed in the design of active directory is. How do you recover the whole thing from backup..

"Is liquidity. The ability to access your money when you need it, Uh, perhaps with an electronic funds transfer or just a phone call. Not a drive up window at a bank. Second is safety not only of the institution but safety of principle, which means any money I set aside. I don't want to jeopardize or risk losing the money that I put into an investment. But also in a year that I make money. Uh, I want to have that money. I just made become newly protected principle. Now The third key element is rate of return, but let me just sort of sort of wrap up. What? I just talked about safety. This is a principle that we teach at our educational events called Lock in. And reset lock in your gains, perhaps annually and then reset. So all just explain what this means in the year 2017. Uh, we had many clients using indexing with my favorite vehicle that we call the laser fan who that year earned 16%. Summer in 25%, Okay, And so let's say you had a million dollars in your insurance contract indexed Universal Life is my favorite vehicle. At the beginning of 2017. We had many clients who at the end of that year had realized gains of 16% and many at 25%. That was the cap. On the index. So that means the million dollar account was worth a million 250,000 if they got credited the 25%. So now you have a million 250,000 that's newly protected principle meaning If 2000 and 18 would have been a year where the market dropped 40% Now it didn't It didn't do much of anything in 2018. But if it had lost 40% like 2000 and eight, which was 10 years earlier, uh at the end of 2000 and eight, they still would have had their million 250,000. Whereas people who have their money in the market there Million 250,000 would have been reduced by 40% if your money was in the market. But see when you lock in your gains of that 25% you reset. It means that if the next year the market loses, you may not make anything the next year, but you don't lose what you made the year before or all of the years before. Does that make sense? Now. Does that sound too good to be true? Well, it is true. And so let's talk about this year. Many of the I U l specialists that I point my students to Uh, in March of 2020, right as the Covid 19 pandemic, got people afraid and the market dropped about 30%. Many, including my sons, told their clients link. To the one year point to point with no cap, and that is one of the indexing strategies that's offered. And so they link. They seize that opportunity. And instead of people who had their money in the market and the financial advisors at the asset managers out there going hang in there, hang in there. It'll come back, and it did. Well, why not take advantage of the comeback instead of just waiting to get back What you lost? What does this mean? Well in March of 2021. Many of these people locked in gains of 61.33% who basically follow that advice. So that means that when the market rebounded from the low of March of 2022 what it was in March of 2021, it was actually a 66.33% increase. And so that's called a threshold. You have to pay a 5% threshold when you choose that option, but they netted 61.33%. In fact, we had several people that actually earned that. And I'm looking at one statement of an index universal life where in March of 2020. It was worth $852,105. They were credited in one year $535,313 in March of 2021. That was now worth a million. 3 87 4 19. Now. What? If the next year the market dropped 40%? They locked in that half a million they made the year before they would not lose the money they made last year. If the next year the market totally tanked. That is incredible folks that's called safety of your principal, but it's earning predictable rates of return. So when we talk about this, you do not need to take high risks for high returns. I mean, you know, the basics are well, If you want a higher rate of return, you're going to have to incur higher risks. Generally, that's true, but not when you use a strategy called indexing. And again I'm not talking about index mutual funds and index Mitchell Fund would be, uh, putting your money in the market diversified in the S and P 500. That is an index fund. I'm talking about indexing where If your money is safely tucked in an insurance company, it is earning the General account portfolio rate. So, for example, if you feel Berisha about America for the next year, you can just settle for the General account portfolio rate. And let's say it's 4%. Which is sort of where it's at right now. That means if you had a million dollars in there this year, you would be credited 40,000. It would be tax free, which is one of the advantages that just sort of icing on the cake. That's the fourth element of a prudent investment if you can get tax advantages, but the first three key elements or liquidity, safety and rate of return Here. You can just turn 4%. And that means that the market crashed. You would still earn 4%. But let's say you felt bullish about America. And so you can anytime you want. You can relinquish the interest on that million, and that gives the insurance company the ability to fund an options budget in your behalf. And so they take that $40,000. And they buy upside options in the index or indices that you chose. You can diversify between the S and P 500, The Dow Jones the Russell 2000, My heavens. You can diversify and 55 different industries if you want. Let's see if the market goes up Those options allow the insurance company to pay you 8% 12% 61% like many earned this last year. But if the market goes down what happens? Your million is safe. You didn't lose. You may not have made anything that $40,000 of interest that you relinquished the bad options. Those options expire worthless. But you do not lose your principal. So that's called safety of principle. But by doing this, your rate of return gets tweaked. You will generally earn at least 2.5% greater than the General account portfolio rate of the insurance institution. This is why historically, if insurance companies are earning four, or 5% on their general account portfolio On mortgages on skyscrapers and shopping malls and double and triple A bonds and so forth. I can usually tweet that by 23, or 4% points or higher. By linking to an index now That's average. So, folks if you were to back test this at 15 2030 years, uh, it's not rocket science. You can diversify and have 50% of your money in a two year point to point and and 50% in a five year with the last year average, you'll learn what that is, if you come to one of our educational events or read one of our books And you know, your average return would have been 14% during the historical actual historical markets. If you diversified between a one year point to point at two year and five year at the historical average was over, 11% Juno, I have averaged 9.62%. 9.6 into the rule of 72 means your money doubles every 7.5 years. We have people who invested $500,000 and doubling every 7.5 years. It goes to a million and then to two million and then to four million and eight million by the 30th year, which then generates 600 to 800,000 year of tax free income for the rest of their life.

Hope Discovered
"gil" Discussed on Hope Discovered
"You are here. Hi, Bill. Thank you very much for having me today and I hope and pray that this conversation will be of hope and help to those that are listening. Fantastic. Gil is the chaplain for conquest. One of the founders of the men's challenge, Gil hopes as he stated to a moment ago to share his personal journey and some of the suffering that he has gone through with various addictions and how he found his path to recovery. Briefly, Gil, can you just kind of tell us a little bit about yourself now? Where are you at in life? And are you from kentner? You're from alliance, right? I'm actually born and raised in alliance and I live in alliance now been there. All my life, which is a little over 63 years now. And I would say, first and foremost, it would be important to say that I am a believer a follower of Jesus Christ. He is my lord and my savior. Married to Mary Beth, my wife, who's put up with me now for 38 years. This fall and she is my dearest and best friend and she's had a large impact as I'll probably share on both me getting and recovery and maintaining my recovery. And also I have two grown kids. Who are married in three adorable grandchildren that are the love of my life. I bet. That is absolutely fantastic. What were your early days like were you a rambunctious kid? Were you into academics, schoolwork, what was your personality like? I would say if I was very athletic very much in sports, my dad was a teacher in a coach at alliance high school. My mom was a stay at home mom. I have an identical twin brother who actually is in this field. He's a counselor therapist in private practice, up in Cleveland. I have an older sister who's also in healthcare. She's a few years older than me and unfortunately I have a younger brother who died a little over a year ago due to his drug addiction. But my life, I had a loving family, things just changed dramatically. At the age of 12. When you talk about your life, it seems relatively normal if there is such a thing. Nobody's families perfect. But somewhere along the line, you did develop a tendency to develop an addiction. As I've heard you tell the story before it was at your father's death is what precipitated it is that kind of my correct and assuming that I would say and that's a pretty good point. I would say that at the age of 12, our family was like you said a fairly normal family, a loving family, but my dad came down with a very rare form of lung cancer. He was 41. I was 12. And when he fought cancer for about 7 years, my mom began to fight alcoholism. And so at the age of 12, I became quite frankly very selfish and very self centered. And somewhat independent in my addiction issues would have started shortly after that. I'm going to presume that it started with alcohol. No, actually, actually, I'm pretty much an open book. A lot of people have heard my testimony of preached it in church and different places, but my first addiction was actually to pornography. I looked at my first pornographic magazine going into 7th grade, I believe I was 13 and it was almost like an instant addiction. I remember there was a child children Christian psychologists by the name of James Dobson who talked about health for some people could be almost an incident addiction. So that was my first addiction. Then after that would be alcohol and then eventually I got addicted to money, materialism in the stock market. The addiction, let's just touch on pornography. They're just a little bit. There's a lot of different opinions about all harmful it is. I would have to say at that age, it would have to be more harmful than good. It would certainly mold your opinions about women and other things. Am I correct in presuming that? Absolutely. And it became in a lot of ways when you talk about addiction being bondage, it was, and how you looked at women and how you treated women in the lost and everything that followed from that. It was harmful and I think the order I got in a lot of respects, the more harmful it was. The other addictions, money and so on and so forth. That's an interesting one. I haven't heard people mention that one too often. There's probably correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a fine line between making a good living for your family? When do you cross over to the point that you're serving a materialistic world? That has to be a fine line for a lot of people. Absolutely. That's a very good point. Built money itself is not a problem. When you have an addictive personality like mine, it can be. So I became very driven very intense. Money became my security, then you start getting involved in wanting more, not satis being satisfied with everything that you have got involved in the stock market and things like that when you have an addictive personality, then it can start to again take control of your life and your security and your peace becomes your investments and your things as opposed to more important things in your life that I'll talk about shortly. Yeah. I would have to say from the way you're talking, it's very much like an addiction to food. We need a certain sustenance. And with money, you need to keep the lights on at your house. You know? At what point does it become excess? That can be a very difficult balancing act, I would say for a lot of people who have addictive personalities. Yeah, absolutely. As my addiction alcohol, I can live without alcohol. And I've learned to live with our alcohol and I'll talk about that also. But money is something you need. And so to try to get that in balance and get a handle on it, that can be a challenge, especially when you're in the field that I was in because I was in sales for 26 years and it was commissioned sales. So obviously the harder I worked, the more money I made, the more money I made the more security I had. And what I was doing and the more things I wanted and working in that field and working around some really good people, but people that had beautiful homes and vehicles and money and things like that, I saw that and I got caught up very much in the world and that became the desire of my heart. That's what I wanted in a lot of respects. It was never enough. I was never satisfied. You kind of had a round table of various addictions. How long did this go on? We're talking early adolescence here, so on into adulthood. How many years did this go on? I would say the actual the addiction, of course, the pornography, and then alcohol and then money. Probably started at the age of 13 at about the age of 27. I would say I got freed from the bondage of those addictions, but it's still a journey. There's temptation that you're still going to struggle with that I still struggle with. And probably won't tell them united with the lord in heaven. So it's still a journey that's continuing. I'm just not in that type of bondage that I was before. You mentioned the age of 27. Something happened. For zooming, what happened in your late 20s that made you realize this world can not continue for me. I have to find another.

There's even a very iconic two tone live album called dance craze and it's got all the checkerboard imagery in the two tone and the scott the the skin rude girl That is all started from sixty scott influence. But now we're in the late seventies. And like i said they have reggae to choose from they of rock steady. And it's all it's all been established already plus they're mixing it with punk. I have the honor of playing with dave wakeling. Who was the lead singer of the english. Beat like talk about another pioneer of that style of music that now. I'm in his band for almost three years. Young the all the dues of the ban had like a nickname for me. They call me young dromey or or young buck and like it was amazing to play that style of music with the guy that founded and created that style and for people. That don't know the english beat. You've heard their music and countless movies and radio anya all over the radio and even staying wearing an english beat shirt in a couple police videos like. Don't stand so close to me. You see the beat girl that iconic beat rude girl which is an influence from jamaica. But it's it was a very like uk thing. Yeah the and the little hats. Just even the style ally i saw i saw The rx bandits open up for the english beep I was in high school. I mean it was years ago but just unbelievable. I mean and that's another rx bandits or another modern ban that uses that kind of reggae style That the third wave. Yeah yeah exactly. So yeah that imagery and again you have the culture so with you have the imagery strong rastafari. Then the last wave of scott a hit which is referred to his third wave sky and you know bands in the eighties were playing third wave. You guys like bands like operation ivy Skank and pickle like oh man. There's just so many but then bands in the nineties that started to break on like commercial rock radio like bounds. Like real big fish and of course no doubt so bands like no doubt really opened up another Just kind of awareness to to ray and scott because glenn and interviews and and tom and all those antonio and adrian they would say we love scott. We love to tone scott with reggae. We love bands like fishbone. Like no doubt wouldn't exist our sound. Our style would not exist if it wasn't for these bands that came before us in these styles of music. And then there's kelly roots reggae. Which is that mixture of that kind of sublime sound.

You can take stuff from roots reggae. Now you got rocker style. You got the rub a dub style this is before rappers were wrapping. You had guys in jamaica. They it's called toasting. It was just such a massive influence on the culture before we go too far further. I want to you. You mentioned the scientist I grew up in in high school loving. I think it was king. Tubby meets scientist And there's the names of those like dub albums were awesome. There's just so many like that is now a good time. And the timeline. To maybe pause and talk about dub music and i i kind of think of it as engineers being the like the stone. -sition the stars. It's sort of a unique type of music which may be a precursor in in I don't want to offend anyone. But maybe a cooler version of like modern deejays check this out. Dub was the birth of the remix. Can you define dob before we go because someone out there doesn't so laid out as what it is i dub. Is the engineer. Manipulating a reggae tune to give the bass and drums even more in the forefront and at affects and drops and filters to the horns or the vocals or the guitars or any top blind. Things that were happening would be affected or muted and really let the bass and drums shine and drive the track. It's a remix. And it's the engineer saying this is now my time to shine a lot of jamaican artists and producers were releasing. The aside would be the vocal version and the b side would be the dubbed version. That's a so so there would be releases. And that's why my group that currently in and roj we are formula is that we do are instrumental version and it's dub but then we also get vocalist to come in and do a vocal version of tune. So we kind of start the other way around. We start as a pure instrumental rhythm. And then we get people to do a vocal after instead of starting with the vocal version of a tune. And then remixing that some. But were it's just like a complete salute to the jamaican. And how things were working in the seventies without and even before the seventies like when you have a a producer like king tubby lee perry your scientists..

It's it's like hand-in-hand when you hear me. Play the biggie drum and the way i phrase fills on a biggie drum if i pick up sticks and play the drums set it i'm gonna phrase feels that way too so there's a vocabulary that gets established in a marriage so it's really important when you understand reggae drumming that you also are aware of nyah binga drumming and how deep that is to me. It's kinda fascinating how Rastafarianism which is a religion is so closely tied to a music where it doesn't happen. I mean you think of gospel music or something here and around the world but And i'm sure there's tons of examples of it but when people think of and it might be incorrect but when people think of reggae they typically think of rastafarians and things like that like. It's just a unique. How connected they are is pretty wild. Yeah so ray gay you said seventy s were were basically entering that time and things changed obviously like you said it blew up and the world you know kind of began to notice it enough right definitely definitely you had just songs that an artist that were just undeniably just touching the rest of the world but guys like chris blackwell in key players that were able to bring awareness to these artists. You know that might not have ever been known outside of jamaica. It was because guys like chris blackwell that were able to say. Hey i'm gonna introduce you guys to the word to the rest of the world to the uk to the us like and that's when other people started paying attention and catching on to this is like turning into a form of almost pop music Like you said with like the police and those bands in like I mean it's just.

Feel like i need to hit the bass drum beat one so they kind of they kind of have to get used to this inside out pulse. It's cool you just send that so inside out. Pulse really that's referring to obviously basically flipping where you're not playing on the one right. Yeah exactly exacting okay. So the one is empty. And that's one of the myths of where the term one drop comes from. There's And i love that. We can talk about this now because there's a debate where people ask. Do you count reggae on. Beat three of a bar more. Do you count it. Do count it onto and four. No matter how fast it is or house slow it is. It's one two three four and on in that temple on counting that cross stick and kick on one two three four and now slow. We can get even slower if it's fast once two three four once boom boom boom so when i did the dvd. I was explaining. You know one of the midst of it being called a one drop is because there's only one drop in the bar which is on beat three and a lot of people connect to that when i talked to my jamaican influences about these styles of music. They'll all say the same common thing. The main difference between those three styles of scar rock steady and reggae would be temple. It helps define what was going on. You have scott which is you're upbeat. Dancy rock steady which time to slow things down in the dancehalls. It's a it's a cooler feel dance to even in scott they won. The style of dancing is called skiing. You know yeah what the what. The guitar player doing on upbeats is skinks. The piano horns skinks on the upbeat. So if they're all on upbeats then it's clearly two and four are your down. Are your back beats instead of thinking goes if you're counting it as a beat three in the bar then two and four are now. You're upbeats you know what i mean. Why they're not up beats anymore. Those are those are downbeat so again it's if the feels right in you're playing it with the right intention than the debate. Isn't that hardcore. But in reality i'd like to say it and the way i counted off the way carly listen a- when you get to reggae those real deep slow like burning spear tunes.

"Alphonso tommy. Mccook ernest rangeland on guitar. Johnny dizzy moore on trump. It so these guys were heavily influenced by jazz. And you can hear that. In their melodies their solos they were telling you a story they were melodic. It wasn't extremely technical but what it made up for. In that respect it had all the feel and the expression in the world. And that's another thing that drew me to the music. Not only the feel but what they had to say. Yes you know. I love that early on. You said that they were obviously influenced heavily by like you know western music jazz and blues but like you also mentioned that then scott in an into the further you know iterations of it influenced the whole rest of the world. So it's kind of this take like They're they're taking things that motivate them in a certain way that influence them in a certain way and then they give it right back and that changes the face of music It's just such a cool and jamaica's a small country too so it is. It's really cool. That they had such a huge impact people borrow from their influences. All the time you know it's like everybody's so many people have said you know the best musicians steel and the the difference is they make it their own. And that's what jamaica did they. They took all of these styles. They fuse them together and created their own their own signature style. Which then like you said influenced the rest of the world like we wouldn't have the police. We wouldn't have the clash of culture club on. I'll get to all that. More of the modern bands heavily influenced by jamaican so back to the sixties. So now now you're listening to this style of music that super upbeat. It feels great. People can't stop dancing to it. And now here comes the introduction to rock steady Which is the next style that started to come before reggae. So you have all these people in the dances and they wanna break. you know. it's like. Give me a slow jam. You know you don't go to the club and then you're just always dancing the same tempo. You've gotta change it up or even in modern day you walk into club whether it's like an edm thing or a hip hop thing or what funk or disco is soon as that dj drops it or drops the tempo to a slower thing. Everyone's like oh damn so. That's that's basically went. How rock steady came into play where it was time. Kinda slow things down and give it a cooler sound The characteristics of the base and the guitar and the drums. The whole rhythm section vibe changed and it was such a perfect complement and the really really deep deep conscious stuff didn't come into play until reggae was coined Scon- rock steady. Were both happy music. Rock steady. You know lyrics. It's almost similar like fifties do op. It's it's love songs in its. It's got such a cool sound. And you know joe isaacs. Another major pioneer. As far as rock steady drumming goes he was one of the house drummers for studio one that field was the perfect balance and again. You can say okay. What's the difference between scott drumming and walked rock steady drumming and there's a major major.

"Why z. And you hear. Neil neil get to the ride. And he's playing that pattern on the broken up bell pattern. If that is a very staccato pattern and rhythm that lloyd would throw in his squad beat so even if he was just doing Swung alike like eighth note. Feel he would play this cool bell pattern In so many of the tunes like one off the top of my head you can listen to simmer down which is a classic scott tune. I think came out sixty four and the lead singer on that is bob marley. And that was before. Bob was a superstar. This was early early the wailers. It wasn't even called bob marley. And the whalers in the sixties it was just the wailers and it was bunny. Wailer peter tosh and bob marley and all three lead singers. You know became reggae. Icons and superstars And we just recently lost bunny wailer. I had the honour have yet getting the spent time with bunny in. Just he was amazing. But anyway loyd told me the story that cox in was saying let's change the be. Let's do something that's different. That's our own and boom. The scott beat was created on the spot right there and from then on the through that era of that music into the mid sixties it was a combination of loyd signature scott groove and instill those kind of boogie. Woogie bluebeard i call them. Blue shuffles where a guys guys are almost playing a us shuffle on the right or the hi hat but hitting that cross. Stick onto and four in unison with the base from is much different of a feel them drummers in the states were doing even with gi. Like you'd have guys playing four on a floor with the kick versus just a unison cross stick and based drum accent on two and four. It's a very different feel. Yeah for sure now. Can i ask you to work in the studio. At this point with the i guess it would just be considered scada were they applying as many you know heavy reverb and delays. That reagan is kind of. I say quote unquote reggae. You know overarching term. That it's become famous four with like the super long echo was that known used yet. No no not yet. Not yet there. We'll get we'll we're gonna get to that but the the recordings of sky Were very much just pure. It was live. You know you'd hear some horns like out of tune it was just live these these guys were. They were recording on the spot. It was like the wrecking crew. They would just do these tunes. They didn't spend all day on one song. That lloyd would tell me back. In the day in the sixties you would do a session with cox and then as soon as you was done. He'd run over to duke reid's and then prince buster would see him driving in the street and say hey come to my studio after. I got songs for you to do so. That's awesome thing is what people need to research the scotty lights and the players in the scottish lights all of them the the rhythm section. Both lloyd's lloyd.

"Just a side note especially for the listeners besides the jamaican styles of music. I'm also a total jazz head so A lot of the comparisons that i make explaining the jamaican styles of music and the sub genres. Like you're going to hear me throw a lot of jazz. Comparisons and compare certain players or how things work musically to jazz. So let's start from the beginning and we start in jamaica Basically before reggae came. There's a lot of people think it's just reggae. And then everything is under the reagan genre. But it's not We start with scott and a lot of people think. Oh they heard of sky and like the nineties from bands from like orange county or they heard sky and like the early eighties from this two-tone movement and we'll get to all of that but that is not at all what started everything. So when you go to nineteen fifties jamaica before scott even started. The musicians were highly influenced of course from what was happening in the states with jazz with With blues with there's cuban influence. There's latin influence there were also calypso styles in styles called boo drumming which were being played by a set of drummers on hand percussion as opposed to a drum set but then the boo rutile relief got coined by one man who we just have to just talk about and give props to an everybody needs to know who this man is. His name is lloyd. Nib and lloyd was the godfather of pretty much all of these styles on the drum set. And we will get to lloyd a minute. So basically before sky was coined in the late fifties. Into the early sixties the lot of the jamaican bands. Were just playing like this. Combination of like doo-wop boogie. Woogie on kind of blue. B type shuffle grooves. And that's what was happening on the drum set it was either a straight kind of boogie. Woogie beat or swung shuffle. Beat and that's why. I always tell people so important to develop a strong shuffle in. You're playing not only to develop a jazz feel but just other styles outside of jazz still so much implied that you can't get from just playing straight patterns in like my buddy stanton moore. We did a whole show together several years ago. Where he talked about his new orleans influence. I talked about my jamaican influence. And how they both influenced each other. But there's those that in in between the cracks type feel so that's another important thing that you can get from understanding straight. I swung pulses. So loyd is pretty much credited. As the creator of the scott beat some other jamaican musicians might say. Oh it was winston granite with this guy. Was this guy. But i truly believe it was lloyd His sound is undeniable. His influences undeniable. Anybody that's ever played..

Yesterday's dini whose professional physics at amazon is taking versity. One of the primary of usage focus is new leaders. Welcome to see you thank you. Yeah thanks for doing this. So i know that you have done a lot of work on neutrinos. You have a few papers. That came out recently. And i want to talk to a twenty eighteen paper dalogue and my own neutrino signatures of primordial black holes. invite you say. These studied primordial black holes ph is as sources of massive neutrinos by hawking radiation under the hypothesis that black holes emit nuclear no bass item states be described quantitatively called the pbs evolution and lifetime is affected by the mass and flew munich dialect my own nature of neutrinos before we get the details celia I wanted to get some definitions of folks would know what black court saw a few episodes of black holes Here we're talking about. The pride won't imprac codes owes The these black holes are fall close to the big bang And then as caulking radiation Sort of The black hole evaporating So to speak and that That lady Imitating these particles called neutrinos. Right is that. Do i understand that correctly. Yes so so pry bhutia blackhaws before we get the neutrinos what is sort of the mechanism of formation their ho- exactly what they have formed sure We believe that Primordial hose could form in the early universe from density fluctuations so We know that any object could can possibly become a black hole if you compress it into a very very small volume so this same process could happen in the universe with Density fluctuations that could be a regional space where there is an over density compared to the surrounding and each of over the east coast past Then then it could get to the point of becoming a black hole This this The details of this process are beyond my expertise But this is fairly reasonable thing to expect and The diesel really small rate in the scheme of things. Yes so when i started to Learn about time or their black holes. I was amazed by how different in mass can be. They can be may be the massive wouldn't but they can also be The mass of Being or they can be Even even smaller so they can really be very very tiny. Yes oh so. That's really really small so this is sort of quantum fluctuations only universe Kind of getting Getting concentrated in vide- small areas But we believe those. Those primordial black holes emit nucleus. we Have to go back to stephen hawking for that stephen hawking wrote this seminal paper Which is about what we nowadays. Nowadays call hawking radiation so he demonstrated that any black hole regardless of what it is could be primordial black hole or a stellar. Nicole doesn't matter any black hole isn't really black because it meets radiations so radiation particles And the the process that we call evaporation so Because a black holes fundamentally gravity objects they would meet any particle that couples to raggedy including trees so It's the moment you have a black hole you do. Have hawking radiation and neutrinos are just that are expected. Part of hawking radiation. You're so caulking radiation so that that happens to every black hole even the even the supermassive ones right so i it said gentle phenomenon And so going to neutrinos now Don't typically thing neutrino site Caltrans and electrons are really well known. neutrinos are particles. Dad don't interact with The matter Espionage don't interact much with matters. We don't really see them. They don't really see them. And and so it's difficult to measure that's right and so so this could you give a. What does the history of neutrino vendor we. I understand such things existed. Let's see We go back to the twentieth century and the story goes That the father of neutrino sees Warfare he. He made the hypotheses of a new particle existing as a way to explain Some strange behavior of neutrinos produced by by nuclear decay so It's it's a long story but Let me just say that For a long time. Neutrinos who just the hypotheses and then around the mead of this twentieth century They would actually officer so we started to Know that this particles existed and But that was pretty much heat. So we didn't know much about the properties And one of these properties the mass which we still don't know i'm easy after all these decades but we still don't know if neutrinos have something like a magnetic went for example And something that we didn't learn until much later on is the fact. That neutrinos oscillate. That's that that sounds. That's something that we that were somehow established Turn of the sanctuary around the around the year. Two thousand really after after decades of of testing with the solar neutrino selling trainers. So there are still there are still a number of no on your trainers. One of them is the mass one and the other one is the The nature of the neutrinos being the iraq particles or miranda particles we She's kind of a fundamental cost. So there are that. That's that's that's related to the fundamental nature of the neutrino as particle break. So so they do. They have a mass but masses small. Do they have a chunk. Neutrinos don't have charge so they are electrically neutral and that's Comedy the biggest reason for for them to be a so allusive as you were mentioning earlier on especially in the in early. Nineteen hundreds all the particle detectors so basically a electro-magnetic detectors they were looking for charge or Magnetic behavioral some sort. So neutrinos don't have that and so they They only have the weak interaction At that that we know wolf and gravity of course and so that's why they They escape detection so so easily because their interaction is very weak. Yeah so so. That's sort of the beauty of neutrinos right so because they don't interact V can go back digits of years. Simple hats Perhaps become pickup one on earth and it would have travelled that distance through all sorts of things but would not have affected wider rate right. Yes and so so the other phenomenon of neutrino is that you mentioned that they also late so are they're failures of tinos they go back and forth. Yes it's It's actually a fairly Easy to this cried kwan to sonam on We know that In quantum mechanics there is this Particles described by these function which is called the wave function. And so the neutrinos could be on. Neutrino could be born as a say an extra and then it's quanta way function would evolve over time in a way that after sometime. The wave function is no longer a purely electron neutrino way function. But the has a little bit or even law actually of a different flavor. It could be a new one or tau. So what we observe in the actors. Is this change of flavor and perhaps the most striking demonstration of this phenomenon is solemn. Neutrinos because we know that the sun produces an extra treatments and It doesn't produce a new on and talion trainers so But here on earth we do Have evidence that the solar neutrino flags that we receive has some You wanna talion. Trina in it and that can only be explained by sedation and Actually after this other neutrino data showed this phenomenon. This was also confirmed by a saint men made experiments so it's a fairly established phenomenon it and so that the flavors are Electron new on tall. Yes that's right and so. Did you understand the vendor made in the sun for example there they are made as electron Neutrinos and by the time they reached the earth day the Immunes dot. Yes yes Impart young. that's that's what happens so ease. It always the case that they get a manufactured so to speak as as electoral neutrinos always. It depends on where they are born. There are places where neutrino sutter born in or flavors. A so it's it's it really varies with With the type of environment We are talking about okay. Okay and so in the people you say ph is this primordial black holes. We talked about radiates right. Handed and left handed dutra knows in equal amounts so anybody right-handed unless the cleaners. Okay let me see so Yes you say. Indicates of dirac neutrinos. pba Left neutrinos in equal amounts possibly increasing deceptive number noon pheno species nest. Yes is that explainable. Yes so right handed than left handed. Neutrinos that may take why to explain what that exactly means me. Just say that It's related to the neutrino mass. So if you're truly knows didn't have a mass which we know they do but if they didn't have a mouse They would only exist as left handed particles which means that basically their spin is Is anti aligned with the momentum and but if they have mass and the iraq particles There could be another type of neutrino which is right handed. Which where the This being ease aligned with a mentor other than anti line and so If you are iraq these these two different species could exist and so instead of having one species of neutrino emitted left-handed one Indicators of a massless trina if we have not suv nutrients than you would have to species and so. The black hole radiate war energy compared to The case when neutrinos don't amass so when we started working on this paper i was interested in this phenomenon that A lot of the literature having to do with a developer. Evaporation of primordial black couls. Consider the neutrinos as massless about. Now we know that they are massive. And so i thought well Sixty speaking at primordial black hole could radiate more energy than previously thought. So i found that aspect interesting and then sees you mention the possibility to increase the effective number of species. That's related to what it was talking about. So then you the black hole would ra- gate more neutrino States or more neutrino Species to spe pseudo speak and then Would increase the number of neutrinos per cubic centimeter Data we observe today so I'm kind of glossing over a lot of these days. But basically cosmology gives us a measurement of this and effective which is called the effective number two species. And if you have this right. Handed neutrinos coming from the primordial black holes. This number could be higher than than expected. And so that would be may be a i way to tell that maybe there are more black holes in the universe yet. So so the hawking radiation essentially creation coming out of black holes Expected defined Expected that over a long period of time. Black holes radiate away lap. Later ray out the mass or information that didn't do it And so this. Radiation is hockey. Radio station is it is a new park. Or is it. Fundamentally composed of neutrinos hawking radiation is made of every particle that no of so A black hole. A camera gate Pretty much everything. Photons neutrinos throngs You loans It said cetera but There is the catch here. The fact that a black hole has a temperature which is another Big achievement of stephen hawking to end and others To that the black hole is thermo dynamical object and so Basically the bigger the black hole the lower the temperature so if the temperature is really low The black hole wouldn't be able to immed- Very massive particles because they are thermal energy would be sufficient for that so because masses energy Mc squared right so because massey's energy If a black hole has too low of a temperature It wouldn't have its quantum energy It's it's Wouldn't be enough to produce the mass off a particular particle for example a proton may be too heavy to be produced by a really low tanto black home so so the beaker. The black called the lower the temperature. Yes ed so. So then can expect the bigger black holes to have more of a neutrino content in radiation. Yes because The bigger black holes would as i said be able to radiate the heavy particles and so they would only be able to radiate away the low mass particles and so there could be black holes that only emit photons gravitons and Neutrinos do a of sort of the distribution of this primordial black holes Isn't you know sort of everywhere. What is what do we know about you. Know some of the distribution of bbc's you mean spatial distribution like where they are now. I'm wondering just like the easy would do sort of look at the early universe will find them everywhere Probably at the beginning they would be a more or less uniformly distributed Bug in the universe. Today they would probably be Behaving like the dark matter. Does they would Be part of galactic halos In other words they would be they would class gravitationally on large structures like a like a galaxy placido galaxy so these call still around They would they would behave like like the dark matter down. So they would be in in halo. Galaxies would have by. Now have april would would they not have disappear because it far it depends on the mass That they have when they are born so their if their mass is less than a certain value that trying to remember Basically yes they would have to By now they would have completely evaporate did their masters larger than they will take longer to evaporate and they could still be around So they roughly speaking the dividing line between a black hole. Steve being around today or not. I think it's something like ten to fifteen grams fiery recall correctly into fifteen clams though So this paper. Eusebio obtained the diffuse flux of right hill. Neutrinos from his idea and so so. So so the nikkei actually act to build these neutrinos. They'd be flying here do pbs specifically In principle that's a possibility we Considered that for certain Masses of these black holes and certain density of this black holes the flux of neutrinos that they generate over time could be fairly large and so we could Detect these neutrinos If we had a very Power who attacked so Now life is never ideally in the sense that a real Ut detector have substantive issues like ground And so on. So at the end of the people we conclude that impact is giving given the limitations that current nutrient doctors have It may not really be possible to detect neutrinos trump mortgage black holes but people. That's a possibility and that alone is interesting. Yeah because they suggestion that this primordial black holes could be as as you mentioned could be part of the dark matter that yes to seeking. Is that still About us that has been. There has been a debate on these Kind of going back and forth in the scientific community The latest i heard is that Black whose could be part of the dark matter. Maybe even a large part but probably not they entire dark matter so a one hundred percent primordial Battery is a bit difficult to justify the day. experimental bowels that we already have constrained so various types but there could be scenarios where maybe a fraction of the dark matter. He's made of primordial black holes. I wanted to go into a ended up paper in twenty twenty supernova neutrinos directional sensitivity and prospects for dissertation here the export potential of current and future liquid cinta league neutrino detectors. I decade old town. Mass a localize a super a supernova neutrino signal into sky in douglas was feeding the core collapse nearby star tens to hundreds of english Coated and don't be constructed policy in the detector can be used to estimate a direction to the star so so this is now neutrinos from supernova and You so so we. We have Idea here that before this opened on what happens. If please open over a time period it is creating neutrinos that could pick up and and potentially get ready to see the super bowl. Yes that's what excites me The fact that Think about bitter jews. Beetlejuice is the most famous nearby star. That could go supernova anytime and we don't know when that's going to happen and If it wasn't for these neutrinos that our paper is about we will know until the style literally Collapses and and then soon after becomes superman but in this paper we we Show that before the star collapses which is the beginning of the supernova process We can detect these. These neutrinos That are used at that at that stage and so increase the pool we could know that You know tomorrow. These days beetlejuice exploding and that that would be quite exciting. Yeah it's beetlejuice is is red joy and reasonably close to was really big star. I can remember Cecilia there was some suggestion that It could go supernova within something one hundred fifty thousand years which is obliquely in cosmic time so it is getting ready to go to Supernova right yes. I am not you formed about exactly the number of years give or take but it's it's ready it's ready. It could be any time and any time any time for an astronomer muse anytime the next thousand soviet so we should. We should hold their breath. But it's ready could be tomorrow. It could be in a hundred years could supernova. I know that this is not part of the paper but could the beetlejuice supernova avenue adverse effect on north really know a supernova is very very spectacular event. it's it's a star that collapses so it implodes i and that explodes and then when he explodes It's very bright. In the case of bitter jews we could. We could see by naked-eye shore but in terms of A fact of each radiation and neutrinos in light on on us and on our daily activities. It wouldn't it. Wouldn't affect them in any way so it's a save Show to just enjoy without any worry. Great answer so you talking about supernova neutrinos so so can be actually detect neutrinos from supernova. What different from what we talked about in the previous people Different from pbs I'm not sure. Can you repeat yes. So the new teen emanating from a supernova different from the Neutrinos of expectancy from a primordial black hole. Yes the the different In many ways disney trails have higher energies. So it's much much easier to attack them and indicates will beat the jews. We would detect thousands or even more of dan millions. Probably of them Indiana so different in the way they are born because in our primordial black hole ordinary black hole The processes volcanoes the asian. Which which is a gravity phenomenon in a supernova. You're born out of the very hot and dense environment That the that that the star as after it has collapsed so star collapsing on its own way to become very dense and so In this very dense in hot environment nuclear processes take place that produce these nutrients. So i guess the main difference is that indicates supernova it's most nuclear phenomenon and in the call is really fundamentally a gravitational sonam. Okay you discover technique in this paper and you saved sin principle possible unique the identify the progenitor star so So the existing technology and ideas discussed in the paper viki see teacup a neutrino decode. Identify valid came from or what direction thing from embed you can go back and look at the in that direction if he find to supernova then you could say that the supernova that created in-principle Yes let me. Just say that There are situations and this is not one of them but there are situations where if you have one neutrino you can point to the pointing the sky. What came from in these case. It's a little more complicated. Because what really gives us. The information is the statistical distribution of these nutrients so we are talking about may be the tax in hundred a hundred Gable take from say be for example and What did detector really observe is not the neutrino is kind of a vector which is related to the products of these neutrinos so this neutrino sues interacts with the interact with the detector. And then out of this interaction you have a positive on the new thrown and those can be observed and you can you can create a factory using these two and then and then these rector will have a certain orientation but each each neutrino coming will give you a differently oriented vector but statistically if you look at the distribution of these factors you you can tell you can you can do for with a certain of course The direction of the neutrinos because these vectors are not uniformly distributed they are they have a non uniform distribution of the direction. And so using this information we can we can define a regional the sky where The new three could come from so we can. We cannot now down to a point but we can now down to maybe a cone of a few tens of degrees Width and then we look in that cone and see what stars that com and maybe be juicy one of them. Yeah so As you say you if you see a few Neutrinos Statistics bution of those will give us some some probability That it is in in some region of the sky. And then you say the paper You can then that if it is happening please open nola. You learnt other observational. Modalities multi messagero rations Invisible in radio and other other types of observations Do actually pick up more data so this is almost like a early alert system If it is in place right yes i would call it a very early I learned to because it's we're talking about maybe our worse or insert very fortunate cases. We are even talking about maybe day Before the assad goes supernova and. so that's enough time to plan for for it so a something that fascinated me When i heard about this from a from a an experimentalist is that there is a human factor which was not aware of but The factories so if you have come up with thirty minutes to plan for watching supernova this may not be enough because it just takes stein to make phone calls and get a hold of people and and decide what to do. Come to a consensus in that. I saw in addition to technical things. Like okay have to maybe turn your telescope Direction which takes time. But i i was really fascinated by the human factor. Those things that if you had style we'd be you can kind of gathered. Relevant people decide something but if you have thirty minutes or or or minutes maybe not so. Yeah yeah i wondered. If such a earlier system is in place Perhaps could be something programmatic. Crises is picking up And you have some you know. Maybe some ai techniques or something like that that identifies the region and it goes. Programmatic returned the telescopes look. Yes yes exactly so. There could be a protocol in place For that so e if a telescope was suitable for observing a nearby supernova which which is not always the case than than now that we showed that it's possible to know beforehand if a star is going to go supernova then there could be some sort of protocol in place already so that when the alert comes which is we can just activated the protocol and oriented telescope. maybe automatically will in some sort of Organized way yeah as you say if you remove humans from the process it becomes not better there is actually already working this direction It's called this new two point. Oh a network which has to do with Exactly these using neutrinos as alert for the astronomy community and That has to do with exactly a creating alerts and also creating protocols for how to react to an alert rate. I want to end the people that just came out. it concordant scenario for the observation of neutrino from the tidal disruption. Even eight hundred twenty nine hundred ninety s t You say be induced at phenomenology concordance canadia with the logistic jet of for the title disruption event Between ninety s jesmyn proposes a source of the astrophysical neutrino event. Ice cube So the title disruption even this is star getting cooler into a black hole getting Getting sucked in rate is that the is that even up to the match yes This is something that we We had about be in in popular science stalks What what happens if you get too close to black hole and It's kind of scary. So the answer is you would be ripped apart because your feet will be pulled in with a strong force than your head and these. This is what happens to two statehouse. Use the star gas to close than by guests Ripped the park. Which is what the tied is option means and so instead of a star Rotating around a black hole we just have a stellar stellar That dr intially. I created by the black hole and so This is something that The happy neighbor cops serve did so so we have. This does happen this particularly Eighty twenty nine hundred ninety s and Bequeath actually see a new cleaners from that particular even so tightness. Deduction events are fairly well established phenomenon in astronomy. We have many of them served They they are Fairly a common plays events But what's special about this particular one. Eighty two thousand nineteen years. G is that We could let's say It could have Produced on neutrino that was detected a ice cube so eighty twenty nine hundred ninety s. She is the first either direction event. For which is coincident. Neutrinos detected a dice. Cube in queens. This coincidence is likely to be accidental. So on approachability estimate tells us that these coins. This is pretty causal not accident so eighty twenty nine hundred ninety. The g could be the parent of this neutrino. And that's that's that's a i. That's very interesting. Yes i skew. is a is a big ice cube in the in. The south is I'm not sure it's exactly cuba. But it's it's the biggest block of is which has been Eastern With values Small detectors So it's it's an array of swarner detectors but yeah it's basically a big block of ice which has been transformed into a detective and so so the idea that this high energy neutrinos from what they were System montemar even that happened Out there this high energy neutrinos passing through that ice q. believe some telltale signs All of that happening and yuxi picked up Then began back Just like you were talking about the previous creeper begin. Please back to a region so this is one of those cases where you can tell from a single neutrino of course the with with a narrower where you can tell the point in the sky where three neutrino kate from. It's doable with one single neutrino because this high energy neutrinos when they enter the is They produce ca a shower so they kind of illuminate. They you me nate. The is but the do it in a way which is very much Beat so and then and then the direction of the the direction of bigotry knows. We have a pretty good accuracy often. How often could be a pickup something like that. Do we have an estimate of how often that would happen. Meaning ice cube detects something like this. Every year ice cube the tax Of the order of ten high-energy neutrinos froth outside our galaxy. Tadesse the number for the entire crop of neutrinos that ice cube has It went we talk about tidal disruption events in the specific these are fairly rare phenomena and so they estimated that maybe a few times so percent of the entire neutrino flux the thais cubeys of serving could be from tidal disruption events. Not much more than that. So we are talking about less than half of the total flats being to tell this option events okay and so the tug disruption burned as as you mentioned It starts getting clipped applaud and pulled back into a into a a black hole but this ten percent. Do they have to be these braces as they call it. The things that have a jet that is sort of lying towards us. Is that it necessarily condition for these types of high energy neutrinos. It's it's a plausible scenario Let me just say that. There is an important difference between blazers in tidal disruption events. In the fact that the ablaze is something that has a jet. She's always on so the jets kinda kerman feature of of these particular galaxy but the title is adoption. Event is transient events. Saw dotcoms creates the accretion. This accretion of the star of the black hole produces flair is flair can last year or two but then it would just fade away so There could be jet and in fact in our paper we present where there is a jet so they partisans the user chat But if there is a jet in tiger disruption event. That's a transient suggested. That's born when This starts to create the stellar debris. And then it's on for months or years and then and then shuts off and it has two point in our direction as you as you mentioned because otherwise we would. We would see the trains your so this high energy neutrinos sillier how. How many orders of magnitude are we talking about coming to the one set you pick up. Let's say from the sun I'm not sure about the question. Can you maybe rephrase yet. So when you say this high energy neutrinos that is coming from let's say a tidal disruption events or something like that How much comedy orders of magnitude more energy Outdoors come to you. Know the ones that might be created the sun a lot menu of this magnitude so It is a big difference. So the sun produces new three meals. over a wide range of energies Higher energy neutrinos from the sun reach energies of the order of ten am pt and mega awards and for the ice cream. Neutrinos we are talking about one hundred of the older one hundred t. v. or even thousand teams. Which would be p so. Let's say maybe eighty tortoise magnitude finding the mass rife or okay and so this e. v. measure it is actually measuring the mass of the neutrino of newfield. Now these these neutrinos are have such a Such high energy that basically It's impossible to know their mass Because because as i said massey's energy so they talk energy of neutrino Detected is to be so high that that percentage view to its mass east so tiny that this practice mutual so i was wondering if we know the energy couldn't be sort of back computer to save the mass is or it doesn't follow The reasoning is a bit different and The way to sink about this is perhaps they let me see the formula for energy particle Which used the rest energy Applause the kinetic energy and So connecticut is so high that he thought the overwhelms direct energy. So it's it's and of course every time you measure the energy when three no. There is a narrow associated with the measurement so You we can't really we can't really tell what What led the boss of the detroit news but both roughtly this. This appears to be sort of an early warning system for many many things right topped the supernova the in the title disruption events producing heightened plano's So this could be sort of inundated with a monkey message. Observations protocols as you mentioned that gives us a higher success. Wait suspect. I would think certainly nominated be one right That's the power of multi messenger astronomy the integration of different signals coming from Photos tree knows navigation waves Causing me craze and Danger plays very powerful emmanuel cases and maybe supernova case is the most striking Xenos come first. But that's not always the case So in the indicates of tidal disruption events Did you know that was observed. Came about five months later than the initial dhammika looser version of the tidal disruption events so It's if it can go both ways. neutrinos can be early alert or they only alert could be for example a radio salvation or or an x-ray use ovation and then and then the neutrino attacked or could Focus a surge in that direction as see what they find which which has actually been done ice cube sometimes. Does these these archival. Search this on the basis of others from From for example x ray or gamma ray surveys interested. Exciting eighty that said a lot to be owned It seems It seems like these till don't know all the production mechanisms for neutrinos but if we have robust with to pick them up on than we can place them back and and talk asking questions What might be there definitely So yes so. People celia the next five years Wanted the aid is that you believe Be will make a significant crocus in this Innovative neutrinos then two different areas. That a very promising One is Broadly speaking Manmade nutrients so there is. There is a big push especially hitting the united states to build Create very powerful beams of trainings and then these beams are manmade. So we know that very well. We know that energy we know the composition and we can use them to learn about The properties of treatments and then That other men bead neutrino experiments where Scientists look for the between months so that's also very promising In something i really. I really excited about that. That may be a furious novel with noble the neutrino mass us from these very high position laboratory experience. Then there is the whole Topic of neutrinos as part of the mouth of mike messenger astronomy and in that area. I think what was was to look forward. To among other scenes is the interplay gravitational waves shock waves. You still Somehow a science of its own into a large extent but there are so many possible connections. We've neutrinos tidal disruption adoption events should produce reputation ways so baranov shoot us gradation ways So so there is. There is a a lot of potential there which is still unexplored in and that's where i see myself Working on in the next few years you adjust very quickly The do gravitational waves travel bid closest and new ashtrays and so if If they both are produced in In uneven they're expected to arrive on earth close to simultaneously. It depends on the timing of the production if the answer is yes the waves ending a knows are born at the same time which may not be exactly true because the physics that governs tation waves is different from the one that that governs neutrinos. So but the difference in timing would be the difference Accumulated that birth But but the two were were generated genetically the same time. They should arrive the same time. Just thinking this a systematic difference in the production time than guan lorries given early warning for the other. But that doesn't seem to do a case right. There could be cases where significant lag in the production of rotation way with respect to the production of the tree nose and one example is. We haven't touched on this before but let me just nation mergers so if we have if we have a merger for example we have maybe a merger of a neutron stars or black hole neutral star before the merger happens so when the two objects that kind of still approaching each other we should start observe serving ways and this is what this is what has been seen so Delight experiment observes these these nominal But if we have a merger After the merger has occurred and the two objects have become one than a. Dan could be the formation of of over an accretion disk and he secretion Trainers which we can which we can back so the neutrino We come After they initially asian waves and so relation as would be the alert for the neutrino.

Explaining Biden's Tax Plan
"Biden administration agenda. He has several tax proposals, and so there will be increases on income tax, especially for the those making over the middle income range all the way up to the high income earners. He is going to do away with pretax contributions to 41 case. It looks like And make you report all of that on your 10 40 tax return, And then he's going to give you a credit for people making more than the average American that is going to cost you tax because the tax credit is not going to be the same amount that you would have had. Had you been able to this put in the pre tax dollars in the higher tax brackets, Okay? The capital gain. Tax rates are gonna double and he's going to do away with the step up in basis on long term capital gains. That would mean if you inherited a million dollar rental property that your folks bought 30 years ago for 250,000. And it doubled the 500,000 and 15 years and that 500,000 doubled to a million and another 15 years and you inherited and you sell it for a million won under the trump tax. Cuts, you would only have to pay 20% in federal capital gain tax on 100,000 What you sold it for over above what it was worth when you inherited it. Now there is still a surtax for Obamacare. What is it 2.8% of whatever on then you have many states will charge a capital gain tax rate to so many people pay more like 28%, or 30% in capital gains rates between the federal and state. Well. Biden wants to increase that upto ordinary income rates of 39.6% from 20%. So that's almost double. But you do away with the step up in basis. That means if you inherited that million dollar rental property from your folks You're gonna have to pay tax on the entire gain. And at 40%, you're gonna pay 400,000 instead of 20,000 and tax. So these are the things that are taking place and also the estate tax. He's going to take that from about 40% of toe 67% and probably lower the threshold when you start paying that tax. Heaven forbid he doesn't take it down all the way to the million where Hillary Clinton wanted to take it back down to, But many states will tax you on what you leave behind as an inheritance on every dollar over a million bucks, Okay? So folks taxes will likely be going up to cover a lot of these various initiatives that Joe Biden wants to implement. So this is where

"Dimensional wealth radio. I want to share that with you. If you're just joining us In the previous segment. Today, I've been talking about taxes and how people aren't too strongly consider a strategic rollout, not a rollover. Roll out getting the money rolled out of qualified accounts like IRAs and 41 case. Usually, I would recommend at least five years before retirement. S o that you could get the money out. The tax is over and done with sooner than later in today's lower tax brackets, but reposition the net after tax money into something that's gonna be tax free. From now on, Then, with a good accountant, you can strategize how you could maybe offset some or all of the tax by maybe resurrecting new deductions and so forth. So that's why I was talking about selecting a very good tax strategist. And so I've taught many CPS and tax attorneys with advanced C PE, continuing professional education and so forth. So they have to have several 100 hours 120 hours every two years or so. Now, folks, when we talk about taking money out of IRAs and four in one case, why Why do you want to do that sooner than later? It's because you're not accomplishing anything. When Congress is hard up for money. Where do they go to get the money? Okay if they need tax revenue Where do they go to get that money? I'm going to give you a hint. To the people who have the money. Okay, now. There are About 5000 people recorded that have scaled Mount Everest. Now. Some of them have done it multiple times. But 5000 human beings have actually successfully scaled Mount Everest. There's been the last statistic about 307 people who have died. In that attempt now. Do you think they died on the way up the mountain? Or On the way down the mountain. The vast majority died on the way down the mountain. Now you know, you could say, Well, they weren't thinking about it. They just They were just focused on hitting the top. See a lot of people in life. They focus on, you know for retirement. What are they doing to save for retirement? Let's see. Very few people will talk about. Well, what do you do at retirement? What do you do now that you're at the top, I remember climbing a pyramid and chips and needs in Mexico and the climbing up but was was not scary at all. But coming down. Oh, I had to turn around and crawl down. It was like coming down the mountains. And so Congress as it takes and robs people coming down the mountain sort of figure coming down the mountain of life, and that's the people who have the money. And it always reminds me of one of my favorite movies with Robert Redford and but well, Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. And if you remember that movie, you know they're robbing the banks and the Union Pacific Railroad here and you die. Each chairman of the and he starts to track him down. And so they take off to Bolivia, and they start robbing banks down there And then pretty soon they're getting on to him down there. They decided to go straight, and so they hired themselves out his payroll guards. And I'll never forget this scene because they're going down or up the mountain here to get the payroll and and their leader is ahead of him on the meal. And you know Butch and Sundance or you're talking to each other. I'll bet you the robbers were gonna be up there in the rocks on the right. No, I think they're gonna be in the bushes on the left. And the guy turned around, says morons. Have morons on my team. They don't rob you when you don't have the money. Don't worry about being robbed and we don't have the money. We're going down to get the gold. We're going down to get the money Worry because robbers don't rob you if you don't have the money, and here he was. Tutoring two robbers who had decided to go straight. Well, yeah, they don't rob people who don't have money. The government goes for tax revenue to the people who have the money. Okay, so that's the whole point here. So that's coming down the mountain of life, and that's when, frankly, a lot of retirees can least afford it. But that's why I warned people you've got to have a tax strategist, help you find the right advisors that could help you from attack strategy standpoint, because most people When they look back at the end of the day they go. I should have never taken Rmds. Why did I do that? I strung out the taxes and paid 45 times. Well, I I needed to pay if I would have got got the money out, and the tax is over and done with But people sort of go well. If you don't need the money, why take it out? Just keep it deferring. Well, they think that saving tax and it's not I can prove it to you. Mathematically you want to get the money out in the tax is over and done with Now. You don't need to spend that If you don't need it, you reposition. The after tax roll out money into something that's gonna be tax free from now on, And that will ultimately blossom is Mike Joyce. Do you want to you want when you finally die to blossom in value and transfer income tax free? That's why my favorite vehicle I called.

"Speaking to You are incredible national audience from our three dimensional well studios nestled at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountain. This show is about empowering you people and organizations that want to optimize their assets, minimize taxes and empower their authentic wealth. Well, folks, if you are just joining us in two previous segments I've been talking about For a one K's and getting the money out, and the tax is over and done with sooner than later. What I call strategic role out rather than going from the frying pan into the fire with rollovers. When you roll money over from a 401 K into an IRA, you're continuing to delay procrastinate. Hey, in the tax, and people think they're saving tax. No, you're not saving tax. You're just putting it off, And usually when you put off or procrastinate pain, and it gets worse, and a lot of people do not understand that. So I was talking about how How savvy CPS and tax attorneys well, will advise you get the money out. Let's get the tax is over and done with strategically when tax rates are lower, because in the future, they're going to be higher and so usually when I would sit down with an accountant with a client We would analyze where taxes were likely going to be going based upon what Congress is doing and looking at their in common unless there was a a year where their income was gonna be far, far less. We would do an analysis and when they especially were over the age of 59 a half there's no more 10% penalty and so we would start a strategic rollout. And so I remember one couple. They were schoolteachers. And you know their adviser had told them you know what Just continue to differ. They had a quarter of a million dollars back then. Saved up in their 403 B's for one K's and some tax sheltered annuities and they didn't need the money. And so their accountant says, Yeah, I just leave it there way think that you could earn maybe 77% now 7.2%. In the rule of 72 means that a quarter of a million from 8 62 8 70 will double to a half A million. And so I said, Okay, let's let's assume that happened. So so you let it continue to grow tax deferred. Let's see what we accomplished here. And then we took out our MD's because back then the age that you had to start taking out money was 8 17.5. So we took out our MD's required minimum distributions throughout Uh, the husband's life expectancy. We figured he would likely pass away first. We used that scenario and she lived on till age 95 or whatever. And then she passes away. And then any balance leaves behind to their Children. I think they had five or six Children. And we stretch those out and they were shocked. That even as it passed down to their kids, they would end up paying over a quarter of a million in taxes. If taxes never went up the rate tax rates number went up. They would pay a quarter of a million and taxes on something That was only worth a quarter of a million when we started out, and they go Oh, this is horrible. And I said, Well, I would recommend you get it out and the tax is over and done with sooner than later and they go all We know how to make tags. I'm going. You're going to pay it sooner or later. Let's let's pull out. I would recommend $60,000 a year. So 60,000 year, I think triggered tax of around 12,500. So they're like 12,500 tax. I said, Yeah, but over five years here that's going to be 60,000 and tax. And if you keep earning, let's say 7% or so you're gonna end up getting $300,000 just gonna be growing while you're doing this rollout. You're going to end up with $300,000 that you got out of those 403 B's and then for one case strategically and you got away with only paying 60,000 and tax And they went. Wow, I said, so. Don't let emotions get involved about. Well, I don't want to pay taxes I don't have to, because you will pay it sooner or later. And it's like the old friend and auto like commercial where the on TV they would show in all automobile mechanic holding up, annoy all filled her and he would say, Well, you can pay me now and I'll replace your oil filter or or you could wait and pay me later and I'll replace your engine. Well, hello And that's what a lot of people are told to do when they continue to defer. You need to pay the tax Now. I was with their accountant telling this couple, you know, you ought to, um Take care of the tax. Now you only pay about 60,000 and taxes that have a quarter of a million later replacing your retirement engine. And then we took the net after tax and we were able to generate a far more income. It was more than double And, you know, I felt like Sam I am and green eggs and ham at the beginning. You know, I'm going. I'm showing the then these illustrations and they don't want to pay the tax and they're like, Oh, no, no, I don't like green eggs and him like Oh, you would like these, You will see, you know, and it was after five years and they got away well, Let me tell you the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say they were going to pay no more than 60,000 and tax, but I use some tax strategies with their accountant. A proactive when where they were able to resurrect some deductions on their house and rental properties that they had been killing by paying them off by refinancing and so far and so they increased their cash flow in all kinds of things, but we resurrected deductions and we were able to reduce down the tax from from potentially being $60,000.20,000. They did it again and that they eliminated the taxi went down to zero. So we got the money out. 300,000 rolled out with no tax consequence. Uh, in in five years, And so they ended up with more money. We reposition that into a couple of laser funds. And now when they pass away, those will blossom and leave behind farm or totally income tax free, reimbursing them for any of the tax they would have paid. But they didn't pay any way. Did this with another gentleman. We saved another gentleman, a $750,000 of tax. Another couple. They were both physicians. We they were gonna pay about 2.6 million in tax by stringing it out over their life expectancies with rmds. They had just under five million saved and and I said, Do you want to pay that much in tax? And they said no, and their accountant said, Well, they could afford it and I go. Well, why don't you ask them what they would like to do? Well in that situation. We couldn't save them 2.6 in tax, but we saved them 1.2 million in tax. And so we were able to redirect that 1.2 million of otherwise. Babel tax. Into a trust and that funds college education, religious missions, military service all kinds of things for their grandchildren. Great grandchildren into perpetuity based upon that, generating about 100,000 year of cash flow out of the laser funds in the trust for forever, Okay, because they keep taking that and every time the older oldest Trust. He dies. And then it goes into a laser fund on the next one. And and so it keeps blossoming. This is this is called a family bank. I called it a family bank. So anyway, The point is, we were able to establish a family bank with 1.2 million That was otherwise gonna go down the drain in unnecessary income taxes. If they follow the herd and had an inept accountant continue to tell them toe. Oh, just keep stringing it out and take rmds. VOCs Way, took one couple in California with their advisor from a the highest tax bracket because California has the highest state income tax write, and we took him from the highest tax bracket bracket down to a 0% tax bracket in five years. Now, we can't do that with everybody, obviously, but But the point is this. So you need to learn how to redirect otherwise, people taxes to causes you support. And if you're sitting here, listen to me, and you don't have a forum. When K. Way to go. You don't have to an untracked yourself. You can start out doing it the right way. And I would recommend you put money. Not into a Roth. I don't think you should put money into municipal bonds. I would recommend you investigate a laser found it is the only vehicle Like I call it the laser fun because laser is an acronym that stands for liquid assets safely earning returns. What is the laser fund? It is a max funded tax advantaged insurance contract. My favorite by far are indexed universal life insurance contracts because those have allowed me to earn an average since 1980 for the last.

New home sales rise in December
"Sales. We talked about this. With Mike McKee rising in Summer, the first time in five months. It's captain the best year since 06 signaling that record low mortgage rates continue to drive demand for sector That's really been a bright spot in the U. S economy. So another story on the Bloomberg about Hamptons home sales are at a record in the fourth quarter, people continuing to leave New York City head out to the Hamptons. Meantime, even as The pack of chapter 11 filings in commercial real estate have slowed amid easy access to funds summer still telling us that the real estate industry is quote facing an existential crisis of what's next. So let's see what Gil Brock has to say He is the U. S presidency of Collier's international. He's with us on the phone from Los Angeles. Guilt. So nice to have you here. How are you and How is your world? And how does it compare from kind of what we saw over the last year? Michael. Nice to talk with you again. Look, I think we're doing fine. It's been a long year for all of us or long, 11. Months on guy think that You know, sort of where we are. We're closer to the end than the beginning. That's the good news right to the vaccines are rolling slowly, but they're rolling on. I think that most people are quite encouraged by that and encouraged about The fact that we should be returned to some sense of normalcy by the middle of the year and into the back half of the year and so things are looking up, and they didn't end as badly as some might have predicted. Sort of When the crisis hit us in March and April last year, there was activity on there was some sense of optimism. You know, again toward the end of last. Clearly we didn't perform last year like we did in 2019. But things did gradually start to get better. And that trend seems to be continuing that true around the world. I mean, I knew you focus on us properties. But you guys are international eyes. It kind of the same story everywhere. It depends on the market. I mean, I know real estate is location, location location. Very local story, but I'm just curious. Yeah, I know. Everything I've heard and read from my colleagues you know, across the ponds is that they're feeling sort of generally the same way there is enthusiasm. Activity is picking up. On Has really been the opposite of most other effort types because of the economic growth. Are you seeing any

"Welcome to the show thank you. Jeffrey excited to hear your pajama. Pyjama is a company that helps with carbon offsetting. Can you explain. Carbon-offsetting is sure. This is an idea that was invented at the united nations in the kyoto agreement which was a predecessor to the famous paris agreement. And the idea. Is that as we move away from fossil fuels or as a way to incentivize the move away from fossil fuels we need to make looters companies in countries to compensate for the carbon emissions. They're putting in the atmosphere that are causing climate change right so there is a system by which then projects that either reduce emissions or removed governor from the fear can receive carbon credits equivalent to the amount of car on this project. Effectively reducing or removing. And then these companies can purchase those car on create certificates and use them to compensate their emissions and in doing so the benefit. You want side now. They have an economic incentive to do away from posted fields so that they don't have to be spending money on compensating for those emissions and secondly that money goes to fund very important projects such us renewable energy and lowercase forest restoration conservation as you know forest remove carbon from dan lewis fear as trees grow. And you know thanks to framework if you have a piece of land in which you can plant trees or conserve an existing forests that otherwise would be cut down. You can get paid current credits to continue doing that work. So that is a framework and these frankly has existed for many years but unfortunately until today there wasn't a lot of technology a the software powering the certification and exchange of the concrete industrial. We decided to focus. On what kind of technology could be useful in the workflow of managing carbon offsets. Yes so the first part is violating monitoring. How much carbon is being sequester by forest into that we use remote sensing data in machine learning algorithms that basically aim to predict. How much carbon is there on a forest in particular for example one of the models that we built train on a combination of satellite data coming from nasa lanza data with lied are they coming from companies that collect that data from airplanes. And it's basically at three dimensional cloud of points that gives you the shape of the structure of the forest and then we have ground truth. That is coming from four services from around the world that send people to the field to count trees and sure trace with dates and know exactly how much carbon each of the streets have you know so then we run deep learning algorithms convolution new neural networks to train on the day dan the nba to predict how much car when they're in a forest just using satellite. That is one of the parts of the stock that were building being able to replicate the tests that are needed to validate how much carbon is being sequestered by a forest.

Now on the shot clock, you'll work in the bounce and accelerate drive one handed scoop on the left side and good Joel Brown blows by everybody. Right to the rack. 71 63 bears. Alan runs into Brown. It's going to be an offensive foul on Allen. Joe Brown scored a basket, then drew it up. Charge and the Bears are going to have the ball back with 1 34 to go well, This is kind of shades of the game against Washington, and we see Joe Brown do this in a couple of games this year, he kind of Doesn't it both ends with the game on the line, Certainly in the Washington game, hit the Big three point and get the Bears the lead and then off the Bentley block. He got the lay up and foul. To put the bears up by five and he's doing it again here and now they're gonna file him and plumber 1000 in the backcourt. So 1 32 to go. Cal 71, Utah 63. Brown's going to go to the free throw line where he's one for two tonight. So they're gonna play the final game. First Made popular by Jim Valvano in the championship year of 1983. He started that Uh, and the regionals in Corvallis? Yeah. In Corvallis and kind of stole a couple of games there and moved on and parlay. It actually started it before that the A C C championship. But, uh, the youths tried to use that to their advantage. The good thing for the Bears. This is the double bonus. Yeah, so it shouldn't take pressure off the first free throw, But you've got to knock some down here, step up and knock him down and you could win this basketball game. Round misses.
