Embattled 1st Black St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner resigns
"St. Louis's first black prosecutor says she will resign as Republican leaders call for her immediate ouster. St. Louis circuit attorney Kim Gardner says she will step aside on June 1st, the Democrat tweeted the news to city constituents Thursday, citing efforts by the state attorney general, and Missouri's legislature to remove her and appoint a special prosecutor. Republicans, including attorney general Andrew Bailey, say too many cases have gone unpunished, supporters say, Gardner champion police reforms, but has been embattled since taking office. She spoke with the AP back in January of 2020. This is a night ride. This is sin and a message. If you are a progressive minded prosecutor and you want to make the criminal justice fear for everyone, that we are going to make an example out of you. Judge Michael noble ripped Gardner in court in April after an overburdened prosecutor twice failed to show up to court in a shooting case. The circular attorney's office appears to be a rudderless ship of chaos. Marita shuara Jones, a Democrat who is also black, criticized gardener after a driver who was out of jail despite nearly 100 Bond violations struck a teenager who lost both legs, Republican congresswoman Anne Wagner applauded her resignation, tweeting St. Louis will be better off without her.

Nigel Gardiner Weighs in on Biden's Removal of Churchill Bust
"Joining me right now for more on Biden's overseas trip and importantly on this old coronation event and how this thing is going down because the scuttle is Meghan Markle's not going to go. I'm sure the royals are gravely disappointed over that one. Anyway, joining me right now, Niall Gardner. So Obama took down the Churchill bust. I remember that. That was like a big international incident. And then that's something that Trump put back, and then this is getting kind of repetitive. It's like revolving door, with Churchill there. And then Biden comes into office he takes it down again. What kind of effect does that have on the British people and the British government? Well, I think it sends a very insulting message to the British people after all Churchill is a greatly loved figure in the UK is also very much loved in the United States as well. So it sounds completely the wrong signal, a very negative message. And that was day one of the Biden presidency. So an incredibly bad move by Biden sneering arrogant and hugely dismissive, of course, towards America's closest friend and ally. Understandable. So we're now in a situation where Joe Biden has made it clear. He doesn't really value the UK, his historic ally, over say France, or Germany, it kind of reminds me of what's going on with Saudi Arabia. Is that a fair comparison in any way? I think that Biden's treatment of Israel has been also very dismissive actually. And Israel and the UK are incredibly important allies for the United States and Biden has treated both with real contempt just as Obama did before him. And I would say that Biden is alienating America's closest friends and allies on the international stage. It's an extremely destructive path forward.

"Had a lot going on. It's time to teach and get back to teaching these teachers to be lifted up for the great people that they are. And being able to teach the math the science, the English, the social studies, the things that need to be taught. And do so in a way that removes the political atmosphere that what we have is this amazing to me, Randy weing Gardner. That we've seen, you know, talking about, you know, the politics inject just injected into education. It's come from groups like hers, the unions that have injected into it. It's the reason teachers are leaving. They don't like this atmosphere that is developing. And we've got to do a better job of it. So again, a leftover thought here, parents, involve yourself in your child's education, just as much as you would have a parent would involve them in getting them to sports or correct extra crypto activity to bind the perfect Christmas present. Make sure that you're in part of their education. In other words, be there when the teacher signs up, be there to help them learn and go beyond that and put them in a situation in which they've learned themselves where they're actually able to make decisions into think the biggest quality not being told in our public school system today is the idea of thinking.

Rep. Lauren Boebert Discusses the Scandal of Her Opponent, Adam Frisch
"Lauren boebert. Welcome back to America first. And doctor gorka is so great to be with you. I need to have verification. I trust Matt Boyle, breitbart is the most influential conservative news site out there. But this story of the Democrat running against you, I'm just going to say it out loud, having sex in a storage facility on camera and then getting blackmailed by the owner of the storage facility. Is any of this true? Can I just ask you, this is your district? Yes, so actually there was a whistleblower who contacted my campaign. And so I sent my campaign to have a conversation with this man. He was a longtime business owner in Aspen. And I wanted this further vetted. So we gave this to the mainstream media. And breitbart decided to investigate this, have their legal look at it. And we have video evidence. We have emails, correspondence between my opponent, Aspen, Adam frisch, and with this gentleman's Todd Gardner, where there was blackmail taking place to get Adam fresh to change his vote as a city councilman. The owner of the storage unit caught Adam fresh having an affair, his general manager saw it Adam in the act and then used that later as blackmail to get him to change his position on a vote that would have affected his cab business. So there are third party cooperations that took place. There's video evidence. There's emails and of course we have Adam frisch switching his vote to kill a mobility lab in Aspen that would have contracted with Lyft and put this pad business under. So let me just say this. If he can be shaken down by an Aspen cabbie, imagine what Nancy Pelosi and the D.C. lobbyists would do if they ever had him in D.C..

John Zmirak Remembers the Tragic Story of Jake Gardner
"I'm talking to Johns mirac, John, you're telling us the tragic tragic story of Jake gardiner. This is like, we should be writing novels about this. We should be writing stories. I mean, nonfiction books should hit the bestseller list on the story of Jake gardiner among other things. It's unbelievable. Jake gardiner is what happened. It's like what happened to Kyle rittenhouse with the tragic ending. So Jake Gardner had defended himself against one of the thousands of George Floyd rioters turned loose on America. It was trying to destroy his bar stealing his stuff, attacked his elderly father, and at the moment was trying to choke Jake gardiner to death, Jake shot his attacker. Mobs from Black Lives Matter and antifa terrorized the local prosecutor until they charged Jake gardiner was first degree murder. Which of course is absurd first degree murder involves planning. It involves malice of forethought, but then they did that with Kyle rittenhouse too. When people running after you with guns and screaming kill him, kill him. And you shoot in self defense. That is not first degree murder. That's not that, but anyway, it's not funny because GoFundMe shut down his fundraiser. He had been raising tens of thousands of dollars to hire a lawyer. So here he is, he has no attorney. He has no money. He has no income and his city has turned against him and is calling him a racist killer. So Jake gardiner book his own life. And two years ago, his best friend found his body. And has ever since tried to tell his story.

Conspiracy Theories
"gardner" Discussed on Conspiracy Theories
"However, tragedy struck before that could happen. In September 1991, donati was found dead in the trunk of a car. It was nearly a year and a half after the gardener theft, the mob wars had claimed another victim. His supposed partner in crime, Houghton, died soon after. Whatever plans they had to free Ferrara using the gardener paintings. Died with them. There's a problem with this version of the story, though, David Houghton doesn't match the description of either of the thieves. At over 300 pounds that would likely have been an identifiable detail. Plus, the FBI doesn't seem to think that donati had much to do with the robbery. On March 18th, 2013, exactly 23 years after the Gardner heist, the FBI held a press conference to announce that they knew the identities of the thieves. Though the bureau didn't name names, they dropped enough hints for reporters to eventually piece together some of the individuals they might have been referring to. These included mobsters David Turner and George rice Felder. While rice Felder passed away about a year and a half after the gardener heist, there's reason to believe he may have been involved, granted his siblings had some interesting things to say about his home decor. Apparently rice filter's bedroom was outfitted with a painting that looked a lot like Monet's shade or Tony. And then there was Turner, a mobster with ties to the rosetti gang,.

"gardner" Discussed on Conspiracy Theories
"On the night of March 17th, 1990, two thieves robbed Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. Posing as police officers, they convinced a security guard to let them inside. Soon enough they had that same security guard handcuffed and bound, then they turned the museum into their personal playground. The thieves took 13 works of art by some of the world's most famous painters. This included three by the Dutch master Rembrandt. His seascape storm on the Sea of Galilee, one called a lady and gentleman in black, and a self portrait, roughly the size of a postage stamp. Today, the value of this loot sits at a whopping $500 million. And even after 30 years, the mystery of who stole the artworks remains unsolved. But there is one major clue that helps solve most art thefts. 80% of major art heists have the aid of someone inside the museum. Which brings us to our first conspiracy theory. One of the security guards, Richard abbot, was in on the robbery. 23 year old abbath wasn't exactly a model employee. His real passion was his rock band, which was modeled after the likes of fish in the Grateful Dead. And like many deadheads, he enjoyed intoxicating substances. It was an unusual for him to show up to work under the influence of cannabis or alcohol. His reckless behavior didn't end there. One New Year's Eve, abbot held a party for his friends inside the gardener museum. This is all to say, it seems like Abbott didn't take his security duties very seriously. He and his roommate, who also worked at the gardener, often joked about how easy it would be for someone to rob the place. For abbath, the Isabella Gardner museum was a fun House. His job was an easy way to make cash on the side. Only really had to do was show up, sit around twiddling his thumbs and look at fancy art. And for whatever reason, leading up to the.

Has Biden Thrown Ukraine Under the Bus? Robert Wilkie Explains
"For Biden is on his way to Europe. This is what his national security adviser had to say. The sagacious words of a man who has no background in national security cut 6. Let me close with this. There will be hard days ahead in Ukraine. Hardest for the Ukrainian troops on the front lines and the civilians under Russian bombardment. This war will not end easily or rapidly. For the past few months, the west has been united. The president is traveling to Europe to ensure we stay united to cement our collective resolve. To send a powerful message that we are prepared and committed to this for as long as it takes and to advance our response on all three critical fronts that I've described, helping the Ukrainian people defend themselves, imposing an increase in costs on Russia and reinforcing the western alliance. So if we are united and we are doing everything possible to help the Ukrainians fight for themselves, how united is the west if our polish allies, one of the strongest in the alliance, make the offer of mix to Ukraine, we say yes and then the 48 hours later say no. And Biden throws him completely under the bus, exposes them to more of Putin's campaign of disinformation, disinformation. You're very good friend Niall Gardner was on British television. For those of you who don't know. That your center at the heritage foundation. And he said that the European leaders he's spoken with are just appalled by the apathetic response of this administration, this White House, what they've done to the polls what they've done to Eastern Europe. Failure to provide the Ukrainians with what they want and need, but also to be flummoxed by the nonsense coming from the gangster in the Kremlin. The United States should never should never buckle under to threats, nuclear threats from some unlike Putin.

"Take some deep on. Wait and bores me. Yeah sorry listening. Got you know that reminds me of when we took my quite young son to screening of whatever happened to baby. Jane and i have a clear memory of us watching it and laughing our heads off a my son turning to me. He's young. he's about ten and saying he's this funny. When i worked for city. I find it really funny. I mean it's very painful. And but the performances of stacy keach in seasons are role. There is so Lodge but true right. I get together off to that. Same she she said. She said she's playing a. She's not cheat her argument. Was i'm no acting lodge. I'm playing the paul of a woman who acts large right. Who is who is encouraged by her drinking and her insecurity to to kind of you know dramatize in which she finds herself. It's interesting gardner was worried that she was a little over the top in the row because he obviously i quite uniquely he were he was he was there right. The way through shooting with houston is interesting. Fifty years later when he he's reflecting on the power survey he said not. I look back. And i see the genus. What she was doing. And it's interesting. Because she neither chino. Stacy keach would known really as film actors at that stage. They were both. Were kind of classical classically trained stage actors and obviously jeff bridges. I think it was his second movie. I the characters in the film. This is it feels. So there's the two boxes that the trainer and as roma his two women both have partners but it feels like this is sort of divided the people who can really act and then as everyone else. I don't feel like there's a lot of people on as good as the core team camp it. That's part of the texture isn't it. I mean the the idea that he was costing people to to make it feel authentic. It does feel authentic right a minute. You don't feel you're watching actors maybe apart from susan's it's such a such a fantastic issues close as close as houston. Got to.

It's like weird sense of honor the as but he's so unreliable totally overload saying the characters a bit because i think we've been talking about them as it were meeting and let me read the blurb so this is the this is the the the jacket copy on the us first. Addition all context. It's looking better is. It's the great boxing novel. But that's not how it well when it's published it doesn't have that framework around it. So let's see what they said. So the jacket copy starts with this quote. This is the best first novel. I've read in several years abusively balanced piece of work satisfying complex in structure with a spare musical style. A great deal lies beneath the surface of this book. As with all first class fiction the only way to find out what is to read it. So rights frank conroy. The author of stop time in praise of fat city and his statement is typical of the remarkable outpouring of enthusiasm for lenna gaudens extraordinary first novel. A few of the many comments from noted royces who read the novel in advance of publication appear on the back wasting no time directing you there anyway it goes on to say fat city is a novel about the indestructible -bility of hope the anguish and comedy of the human condition. It's hell's the story of two young books as house of stockton california. Any manga and billy telly one in his late teens. The other just turning thirty who seemingly parallel lives intersect for a time set in an ambiance of glittering dreams and drab realities it tells of the to fight struggles to escape the confinements of their existence and of the men and women in their world. Fat city is a novel about the sporting life like no other ever written without melodrama or full zero ix written with the truthfulness that is once painful and beautiful. Fat city won. The joseph henry jackson award is a work in progress several years ago. And since then. Leonard gardner has been supported is rising by saxton fellowship mcdowell colony fellowship and a grant from the national.

"You hear people shouting. Come on billy there. it's just too good isn't it. It's just just right because the the hero hero. One of the nine characters the protagonist fat city. Belinda gordon recall billy kelly. I'm gonna ask you both i. I'd never read this book before Had always review. Read this book before. I even heard of that. I had not read it. But i was a. I had watched the film to very impressionable age and that kind of early in my early twenties and for a long time it was. It was one of those touchstone films the site to people. It's okay to make a film is full of sadness and longing and doesn't have clear kind of narrative payoff at the end. So i was really really excited to read the book and i what you felt keep. It certainly certainly didn't disappoint me. I think extraordinary vote. I think one of the interesting thing is i. I read the book. And then as soon as i finished reading the book by film literally. Turn the page over the film. And i think if you've watched the film you have read the book in many ways. They are very very similar. I mean it's a it's a very very true representation isn't it. I've got. I've got things to say about this later. I it's really interesting to. I see the film about oh fifteen years ago. Maybe and so my context of it with no as a boxing film. It was kind of joan. Houston does new. Hollywood early seventies you know. An hollywood veteran takes on the trappings of young filmmakers And i thought the film was just terrific. Terrific film terrific form. I'd never read the book and then when the idea of doing this came about list. I thought that'd be interesting so i read the book and then i watched the film again and i really loved them both. I couldn't choose one or the other as the best version. Yes i will say this. And i'd like to see what think about this. You know the noble gets talked about as the one of the greatest if not the greatest novels ever about boxing on the film gets mentioned as one of the best films about books and and we'll talk about other boxing films. But i think there is a difference. Nikki.

It's charles in italy and then party which is set in in new mexico. It's it manages not to talk about lady lover in fact that if anybody is reading this book wanting close close sort of line-by-line analysis of the novels is going to be disappointed. Because she like. I think i and i know. Jeff dive other people who are lawrence fans. What's great about lawrence of the letters the criticism. The travel books the poems in particular And she makes amazing case. Florence in this book is a kind of this federal creative Person who comes from a very very kind of ordinary working class background and becomes the kind of central figure in a kind of a cult. Middleton murry richard aldington hd There's an extraordinary sequence a long out of print call the autobahn that he wrote. Gugliotta barbecue of morris. Magnus is sort of command. Friend of norman douglas's ad in italy. So there's a lot of original search in the book the some great writing. I'm gonna just read a tiny little bit from the beginning to give you the flavor. If you're interested in even if you're not interested in i think this book would make makes the case best than anything i've i've read for why lawrence's work is remains important and relevant now. There was a great review of the book in the trivia. Who said it's a book. That performance of rare by david whittaker say it performs a rare inaudible task of saving a writer posthumously from himself. He's a little bit. The lawrence safe return to my own middle years. This time is a biographical subject is composed mysteries rather than certainties. Where once. I found insight i now find bewildering levels of naievty for all his claims to prophetic vision. Lawrence had little idea what was going on in the room let alone in the world. His fidelity is a writer was not to the truth but to his own contradictions and reading. Today is like tuning into a radio station whose frequency keeps changing he was modernised with an aching nostalgia for the past a sexually repressed priest of love passionately religious non-believer a critic of genius who invested in his own. Worst writing of all the laurentian paradoxes. However the most arresting is that he was an intellectual who devalued the intellect placing his faith in the wisdom of the very body that throughout his life was failing him dismantle his contradictions. However and you take away the structure of his being d. h. Lawrence the enemy of freud. Impressively defies psychoanalysis. So how can biography do justice to lawrence's complexities..

You wanna live ring them lay from your friend here meaning sally. Oh i missed something here. He put her in stasis added in is just using remotely that were supposed to. I don't know like a balkan index pinch or something. Maybe maybe not one doc the mouse. He was trying to do too much with that ring. Remotely love how using his brains faces. Men are dressed in yellow so he picks up like a tree. and you. you can't hit you can't hurt us. We're wearing yellow. But i can pick up the street. And i can whack you that iraq.

Was sally happy and the it till next time. Because who'd did screw over and reborn i wonder though vos back yes frag you were refractory at all right. So what do we think. I don't know it was all right. It was kind of entertaining that they i mean. They diverted Diverted stories so they did that matt up again. You know it had some some comedy in it some liberty you know. We already discussed. The there was a little bit out of character for jordan in some regards but To have a guy gardner get to gold face. I by route of getting captured. This kind of funny overall arizona. Right think we get a new team. Was it issue eleven. I think chuck dixon takes over and gets a little more serious. I don't know if like you guys think on. The guy gardner poked the jones obe reliable too much on humor the humor i think so i mean yeah i really do. It's when the art. I think helps sell the humor. Because the statins such a great kind of caricaturist another tale story but it a little over the top for me. I guess he wanted them to be like each book to be their own flavor. You know like mosaics the cerebral one. This is the humor you know. And then i guess the dismaying when the noel superhero here over the thing of time. Yeah yeah i mean i. It makes sense for the time that this came out. Nineteen ninety-three some. Butthead is sort of sir dried in howard stern private parts.

Barack obama said no taking the pigeon because she had a dream. She wanted to know what it felt like. This is my way of not just saying the words but showing her. This is what permission to dream. Feels like and you know the crazy thing man. We wrap it up. We get ready to leave. And the president of the united states says to my granddaughter. Will you know what if you do real good in school and you do everything. You'll pompous in about thirty years. This could be yours right there right there. She said to him no is twenty eight and a half man. I created a monster. But you know what again. That's what gives me such tremendous for the future man and let me say one more thing. Patrick if i cannot take a lot of time but this to your point about some of us who are little bit older down the road a lot of that and who might feel like oh man i can't it will never happen. I'm too old. Yeah well you know what always talked to folks about a gun in break crop then. They might not ring a bill but he started a little company called mcdonald's he started dead at fifty six years of age. Another guy named john pembleton name may not ring a bill. But i bet you consumed this product. He created something called coca cola what he was fifty eight harland sanders also known as the colonel didn't sell this first piece of chicken till he was sixty two. So how old is too old. Okay let's take that off the table a right. This has been done before sir but now it's our turn you and the book with this chapter that i really love because anybody can follow this vice and begin to do exactly what you're telling us to do you say this is the epilogue. It's brush your teeth and change your life in two days to end the interview. I love for you to give us that methodology of how we can in two days brushing our teeth which is good. You gotta brush your teeth. We can change our lives. That started out as a homework assignment that i gave the high school middle school students all across the country but again it's something we all do it when you do it as backup for second in the field. I'm assuming you saw the pursuit of happiness enrique. Here's guy driving this red ferrari and i go up to ask two questions what you do in. How do you do that with as a new two questions while you're looking at that person mira while you're brushing your teeth. Ask yourself if. I could walk through a door tomorrow morning and be doing anything in the world. What would it looked like would feel like what would it smell like. What would it tastes like. Engage all your senses and then ask yourself the second question. What did i do today to make tomorrow habit. Did i move the dial one notch. Did i take one baby step towards what it is. I say i really wanted to do in. The answer is own you. Did i move the notch again to think about that. Just one notch. Did i take one baby step if the answer is no. That's not really what you wanna do. You what i thought about this chapter because i love this and this is. It's like you can do this. Everybody can do this. I used to live in brazil people in brazil. Brush your teeth like eight times a day. So if you're a brazilian you're gonna have a lot of progress in your life because if you do this every time you brush your teeth. They're very good about oral hygiene for some reason but this is something everybody can do.

I decided to start our interview by asking him. How many times have you seen the pursuit of happiness. I don't know exactly. I've never seen it from beginning to end except one really. You have an experience like that. I would be at the premiere as the world with will smith and at some point in time i couldn't i couldn't take it because when you see the movie you're seeing that one moment. The director tried to capture that day. When i see. I see the whole day so i was like. I'm watching it in three d. but a direct answer girardi. Your question is the first time i saw the film innocent tardy was in italy and i had to watch it in italian. Wow our director gabriele. Chino is from allow for roma italy. I went to the premiered. Rome way big to do and i sat down next of this little old lady who didn't know me. I didn't know or three minutes into the field patrick. She grabbed my hand or she grabbed my hand. Patrick i had to sit there the whole time. Watch the old movie in italian. I tell you what i you know. I never thought about what you say is is interesting. It's it's right. Like if i had a i was thinking you know as i was preparing these questions like i had a movie made about me. I'd have the playing on loop in the when you came in my house. Just like twenty four hours a day but when it's a movie that is about tough times and you know some of the stuff that like is painful to remember. I can understand why you wouldn't have it playing on loop in the front room. Was you were there. You saw everything that was happening. Yes sir all right so on this show we talk a lot about making decisions and you made the re really important decisions early in your life that have driven you ford ever. Since so i'd love it. If you could just share those three decisions with us. Rachel thank you for having me by the way. Thanks for being here. Archer these decisions as part of the most important work i've ever done in my life right now. I'm doing a tour was going to have me speak at a thousand schools all across america. And when i'm with young people talk about the three most important decisions ever made in my life. All of which. I made patrick at their age or younger number. One growing up without a father. I made the decision. When i grow up become a man and have children. My children go to note their fathers. That singularly is the most important decision. I ever made in my life because that did this change my life. That changed the lives of my yet to have been born children and my grandchild number two a made him a minor was going to become world class at whatever i did with my life not good at it not pretty good at it but world-class added and number three patrick amid the decision. I was going to do something. That was bigger than what i saw every day. Okay and i was able to make all three of those decisions. Because i got the greatest gift ever got him a life which was permission to drink. I had a mother who told me every day son. You could do or be anything. And i believe this. I'm curious you know you lay these out. And they are really compelling. When i read those the resonated with me and i wonder at the time. Did you even realize that you'd made these consciously made these decisions with these ingrained did you. Did you write it down like how did that work. No i knew. I knew where you have five. Your kid at somebody puts a shotgun right here until as you that they are not your father. You make a decision that was stay with you the rest of your life number two man. I made a mind as a young guy. I didn't want to do anything that i saw these other people doing what to do something else. I made up my mind. I wanted to become miles davis now. Mom said i could be anybody. I chose miles davis. I played trumpet for nine years man. And i got pretty good but i got to a point where my mother had the sidney down to say to me son. You're pretty good with that thing. But you can't be maoz davis there's only one and he's got that job and i had to look at the facts. The facts works at eighteen years debates.

"Really didn't know that much about him as a person who came. Yeah i definitely didn't know much about frank sinatra still. Don't you're going to tell me more. Did not know anything about ava gardner but one thing i do. Remember about frank. Sinatra is several years ago when my nanna was still alive she and i were talking and we're talking about music and i asked her like well. What kind of flick. What music do you listen to when you were younger. And she said frank sinatra like. That's so weird to that. You listen to that when you were my age. And she said yeah and my dad hated it. He just hated that music. And it's so funny to think about an old person not liking frank sinatra music because all the older people in my life love frank sinatra and you know like think his music to me is so classy but to dad. It was not. I don't know what he was listening to. What was preferring sinatra. I don't know well. That is one thing. I learned in the documentary. I watched to we. We will talk more about it but basically he started as a heart throb for teen girls much like a justin bieber or a harry styles or whoever else the kids are into these days and eventually after some career changes in life events the switch flipped. He kinda made a comeback and now all of a sudden.

My kids were so disappointed. Know nothing stuff but the magic of snow. you know. it's just it's so funny. I was on the phone with my niece. And she lives a little She lives near outside of houston by about an hour. She has a a rescue down there. on a piece of land that she protects and get in got to build a house and i guess they get some tax breaks whatever but she's a huge animal lover like me.

Oh it's snowing mom. It's snowing no neither one of them were with me. When it started snowing one of them ended up being here shortly after but Here at home but snow so magical though it is my kids. Were the same way they thought for like. They don't really see snow that much so they thought it was gonna be like a winter wonderland so they were. They still went out and played in it. But i was like. yeah guys. we're not where it kinda sticks. Yeah but it was still fun. It was nice. Yeah it was really fun. And then of course. The browns won last night. I know time in so many years. I think the i would. They say one thousand nine hundred thousand nine. It's really crazy like the bills and the browns and all these teams even the buccaneers threes. I saw grade signed during the bills game. It said it only took five years in a pandemic but we made it. Oh my gosh well you know it's going to be. I think it's going to be a great superbowl. Whoever ends up and certainly we've got a lot of great games next weekend and of course pretty much. Everybody knows who. I'm going to be rooting. Be the buffalo bills. But i i love the browns to and you know and baker mayfield and and and tom brady errors. I mean it's hard. It's it's fun. We're finally switching it up. You know the patriots in for the first time also and there's some good teams that haven't gone which i think is awesome. That's just had to do that well. Here's the thing though. There's hope because it's turning around. So the drought. That's been that we've been experiencing we'll will be turned around next year. The cowboys have hopefully. We'll be in the play so you you gotta be positive right to look at. What's we gotta look at. What's right not what's wrong in life in general. And that's why. I love having to on bennett on the show.

You're happy new year it's always. It's always happy when you're on the show on. And i mean that with all my heart and i really do so Happy new year. I did you. Did you go out for new years. Would you do no no. I sat around in the house with my son and we played a little ono and then we did the countdown together as a family. I love that i you know. It's just like kind of almost like a natural thing to say. Hey did you go out. And i don't think anybody goes out really like that anymore and celebrates unless of course they're in their twenties or they're crazy right everything going on right now across the country. But it's always great to have you with us. And i love love. Love what we're talking about today and that the topic is the fear of commitment so do on why do so many people have a fear of commitment burnish tricky right because for a lot of people they don't really understand that that's an issue that they have a fear commitment and there's a lot of factors that play into it in some cases it's like anything else you have been conditioned to believe that you know people can hurt you rather watch movies and you've seen a lot of like relationships in berry very badly. Maybe your parents have taught you that are there was something that happened to you. So you experienced a situation where you commit it to someone or something Particularly early in your life and your childhood in that result resulted in some type of her so now as a result your little apprehensive about letting people in and really committed to someone or something. Yeah and it's and that kind of fear can really change your life. I mean you could miss out for me. When i think about the fear commitment you could miss out on some of the most fabulous opportunities by simply being fearful of commitment or fearful of being hurt are they are. They are they kind of the same. Are they connected. And a very deep way. They are in one of the things that you're right. You could miss out on a lot of things one of the first things that you can miss out on. Is this deep connection with people and then we're not always talking about romantic relationships we can be talking about friendships and general because remember. It's not just school to romantic relationships. This can affect your relationships with family. Members is gonna affect your relationship with your friends as well as opportunities work. Well we've found. Is that people who struggle with commitment issues. They sometimes are the friends. Are the people that you see. Who changed jobs frequently. Not because they're not successful at their jobs because they don't think in the long term they're going to be able to stay here so they don't want to feel like they don't want to jump in and put all their chips on the table just to be hurt later on. Yeah and i agree with that especially in business. I mean commitment is is huge when to to following through. Just when you start something you should follow through and case in point you know There's many times on the radio show. I can't even tell you how many times i have wanted to quit this show For a lot of different reasons It's been a very difficult. But but thrilling and just wonderful experience on so many levels. But so many times. I wanted to quit. But it's that that commitment. That i have that that kept me hanging in you know to to seeing it through to fruition and here we are year ten. The shows never been doing better. And and so it's all about commitment staying in the game right and it's normal. Burn to have feeling sometimes in anything that you committed to to wondering. Hey did i make the right choice. Is there a better opportunity this commitment keeping me from missing out on something. That's normal. I think as people were always kind of taking their brains through the process of figuring out. Did we make the wrong decision but one. We're thankful that you decided to commit to the and that you still are here and creating the platform to discuss so many important issues but to as people i think going through that process is something that normal people experience. I think when we're talking about somebody who has kind of commitment issues are committing zaidi. They knew that as a region kind of bill out on things well again to business. You know this past year. Twenty twenty was so difficult for so many people. A lot of people hung in a lot of people couldn't for financial reasons. Or what have you. But even in two thousand twenty. I learned some incredible list lessons in one of them is yes you wanna keep your circle small but you can't keep it small because you don't trust other people you know you know because i started to do that. I got burned really bad by somebody this year. That cost me thousands of dollars. They were basically a and i didn't see it. And and so my immediately responses boy. My circle's gonna get really small now but i'm past it. I sorted through it. You can never let an opportunity pass you by because of fear of commitment case in point or even you see where i'm going with this like keeping your circle small that's a fear.
