The Breakdown
A highlight from Could Oil and a Gov't Shutdown Screw Up Powell's Plans?
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Friday, September 22nd, and today we are talking oil, macro, everything that could throw the economy off. But before we get to that, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link at the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. All right, friends, well, we are sort of continuing the macro story today that we picked up around Powell and the FOMC this week. And one of the questions that Powell was asked was about risks that threatened to knock the economy off course. Two that he mentioned that we're going to spend a little time on today include oil prices and a potential government shutdown. Let's start with oil first. The price of crude oil has steadily increased over the past four months. From a low of around $70 in June, oil reached almost $90 a barrel for the US -based WTI benchmark contract and $95 per barrel and $95 per barrel for international Brent crude earlier this week. The price increase for crude has driven US gas prices back above $3 .80 per gallon, the highest level since last October. Overall, gas prices have ramped up by 20 % since the beginning of the year, according to AAA. Now, there are a number of factors all contributing to steadily increasing oil prices since the June lows. The first is OPEC+. The economic group of oil producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia have recently curbed output. Production cuts, which were agreed to late last year, have been gradually implemented over the past six months. In July, Saudi Arabia voluntarily cut an additional 1 million barrels per day from its production quota, about 10 % of its previous output. Existing production cuts across OPEC have already been extended into next year and analysts expect Saudi Arabia to extend their voluntary cuts until March. On Thursday, Russia further constrained supply by banning the export of diesel and petrol. Russia is one of the world's largest suppliers of diesel alongside their status as producing around 12 % of the global supply of crude oil. The International Energy Agency said last year that Russian refineries produce, quote, roughly double the diesel needed to satisfy domestic demand and typically export half their annual production. Analyst opinions focused on the simplest explanation for the ban, retaliation for sanctions. Henning Gloestien of the Eurasia Group said, Russia wants to inflict pain on Europe and the U .S. and it looks like they're now repeating the playbook from gas and the oil market ahead of the winter months. They're showing that they're not finished using their power over energy markets. The Kremlin said the ban was temporary and aimed at addressing rising energy prices in domestic markets. However, they gave no timeline on when the ban might be lifted. U .S. and European policymakers have largely banned the importation of Russian refined fuel since February, which has required Russian supply to be routed through third party regions including Turkey, North Africa and Latin America. Now, OPEC cuts over the past year were predicated on a weakening demand profile heading into this year. At the time they were announced, recessions were expected across Europe and the U .S. China was an open question with the potential of reopening pushed back in the midst of additional pandemic waves. But since then, the European economy is sputtering along, albeit with dismal manufacturing data out of Germany. The sanctioning of Russian supply has caused European demand to be displaced to other regions with refining capacity, largely India and the Middle East. In the U .S., recession has been continuously pushed off into the future and oil demand is now back at all time highs with no signs of slowing. Although the Chinese economy has hit some turbulence recently, oil demand remains robust. Analysts expect China's oil demand to remain high as Beijing secures strategically important resources. What's more, analysts expect China's oil demand to remain high as Beijing secures strategically important resources in part to mitigate geopolitical risks as well as to shore up its manufacturing and transportation industries. So with oil prices spiking, many are wondering whether the White House will once again intervene in markets using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Between November 2021 and September of last year, the White House authorized a number of SPR releases. The final policy saw one million barrels per day provided into the market over six months. A small amount of oil was restocked earlier this year, but the SPR still sits at a little over half its pre -pandemic level. Earlier this week, a headline circulated proclaiming that quote, Biden says depleting SPR is on the table. This was later found to be a hoax with no legitimate source, but it demonstrates how difficult high oil prices could be for the U .S. economy heading into election season. To wit, many saw the SPR release as a political decision rather than an economic decision heading into the 2022 midterms. In the private sector, U .S. oil inventories have recently hit 40 -year lows of 46 -day supply, well below the longer -term average of 65 days. And while August's inflation reports already showed a small uptick due to oil -related prices, the effect is expected to be more profound across this month. Dario Perkins, an economist at T .S. Lombard said, That said, it is important to keep these recent inflationary developments in context. We are not yet in danger of undoing 12 months of solid disinflationary progress, not even close. Others suggested that high oil prices would have a greater impact on growth rather than inflation. Maya Bhandari, head of multi -asset at BNP Paribas Asset Management said, It really impacts the growth side of the Goldilocks equation rather than the inflation side of things over the long term. Theory is that sustained high oil prices begin to eat into disposable income for households alongside higher costs of production for manufacturing and logistics. These combine to reduce growth and potentially tip the economy into recession. Overall, this situation in the oil markets has, to some, many parallels to the liquid natural gas spike in the winter of 2022. Prices in some markets rose more than tenfold, European energy companies scrambled to secure supply at any cost, and multiple firms went bankrupt due to the volatility in markets. This week, Bloomberg reported that the trading arm of French supplier Total Energies has played a major role in bidding up the price of U .S.-based oil. Their source claimed that the firm is paying a premium for physical U .S. barrels, pushing the spread against futures to levels not seen since last November. With all of that said, there are some signs that the oil market is beginning to cool off. On Thursday, Brent crude futures fell to $92 per barrel, which represented the third straight day of price declines, which is the longest streak in almost a month. Warren Patterson, head of Commodity Strategy at ING, said the Fed's hawkish messaging has quote, put some pressure on risk assets, including oil. The dollar index has risen by 0 .8 % since Chair Powell left the podium, a large enough move to weigh on asset markets. Patterson said he still expects Brent crude to move above the $100 mark in the near term, but that he doesn't anticipate the move will be sustainable. So that is the view on oil overall. The thing that I am definitely going to be watching more than anything else is the political dimension of this. We are now entering the period where everything, even more than usual, is going to be completely wrapped up in what it means for the election season. If prices at the pump keep trending up, it seems very likely that the Biden administration will be willing to do what it takes, including SPR releases, to get those prices down. But that's just something we're going to have to keep an eye on. Now what about that other factor that Powell mentioned? Well yes, indeed, my friends, the US government is once again hurtling towards a shutdown after efforts to pass a short term spending bill were scuttled on the House floor on Thursday. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy attempted to marshal Republicans to vote through a package to keep the government funded past the end of September. Closed door negotiations continued late into Wednesday night, but were apparently unconvincing. The bill currently being considered is the $886 billion Defense Appropriations Act. The bill was stifled in the House after five GOP representatives refused to allow debate to begin by voting against a preliminary procedural rule. Democrats also voted against the measure and appeared to taunt Republicans apparently reveling in seeing the GOP's slim majority descend into chaos. Among the Republican dissenters was Marjorie Taylor Greene, who opposed the inclusion of $300 million in funding to the Ukrainian war effort. On Thursday, Politico reported that Pentagon sources have said Ukrainian operations have been exempted from any shutdown, making that part of the dispute rather moot. McCarthy sent House members home on Thursday night to return to Washington on Tuesday. He told reporters after the failed vote, quote, two people flipped, so I got to figure out how to fix that. That wasn't the impression they had given us. Now, this was McCarthy's third attempt at bringing the bill to the House floor. The current proposal on the table is a 31 -day stopgap funding mechanism to forestall a shutdown to begin next weekend. McCarthy remarked on the change in tone in Congress among that extreme element of the Republican Party, stating that, quote, this is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. Now, even if a 31 -day stopgap is passed in the House, it seems unlikely to make its way through the Democrat -controlled Senate. The bill includes a 30 percent temporary cut to domestic agencies and immigration law changes, neither of which are likely to get the seal of approval from Dems. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said instead of decreasing the chance of a shutdown, Speaker McCarthy is actually increasing it by wasting time on extremist proposals that cannot become law in the Senate. House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries remarked that the situation was playing out as a, quote, Republican civil war. Now, if it comes to pass, this would be the 11th government shutdown since 1980. The logic is that hard -line positions that don't enjoy support in the Congress can be put directly to the American people by shutting down the government and drawing attention to the impasse. Republican Ralph Norman said last week that, quote, we're going to have a shutdown. We believe in what we're doing. The jury will be the country. Still, the record on government shutdowns doesn't really support that strategy. Not one of the 10 previous shutdowns resulted in the dissenting group extracting concessions. Typically, the American people quickly turn on the party they view as blocking access to government services over a petty squabble. Alex Conant, a Republican strategist, said, This is such a dumb fight because there's no principle that we're standing on here. It's just bad tactics. While the dispute is nominally over excessive government spending, with Republican dissenters pushing for funding to be reduced back to 2022 levels, the underlying problem is, of course, the level of discord within the Republican Party. McCarthy was voted in as House Speaker after a record 15 attempts. The process took four days and frequently descended into a farce. This was only the second time in the post -Civil War era that a House Speaker had failed to be elected on the first attempt. Conant noted the terrible optics of a government shutdown of the Republicans' own making heading into election season, stating that, quote, Biden didn't win because of his political skills and soaring oratory. He won because Republicans blew themselves up with Trump. I'm afraid we're seeing history repeat itself, with the GOP once again helping Biden by shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, never one to shy away from controversy, Trump fanned the flames on Wednesday, posting that, quote, Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden's weaponized government that refuses to close the border and treats half the country as enemies of the state. He added that, quote, This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other patriots. They failed on the debt limit they must not fail now. Use the power of the person to defend the country. Now, zooming out and trying to get away from the politics of the situation, which obviously is not the focus of this show. The reason that this was brought up at last week's FOMC press conference is that a government shutdown would halt the publication of government data. This would include employment, inflation and growth statistics, which are currently playing a key role in guiding Fed policy. Now, given how much the Fed has said over and over again, their policy is going to be driven by data, presumably not having access to that data would be a fairly big deal. Yet in spite of that, Powell tried to put on a brave face, saying, If there is a government shutdown and it lasts through the next meeting, then it's possible we wouldn't be getting some of the data that we would ordinarily get and we would just have to deal with that. Now, by way of some history, the longest ever government shutdown lasted 35 days. The dispute was around funding for the border wall and quickly turned public sentiment against the Trump administration. Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate, but the administration failed to convince their own party to fund the wall. At the time, Democrat Senator Jon Tester called it the most stupid shutdown I have ever seen in my life. However, if this week's display is anything to go by, that 2019 shutdown could soon have some competition for that title. Now, what does this all have to do with the crypto sphere? Well, I think in many ways these are just exemplary of the state of politics in general. And given that, perhaps it's not surprising that former Senator Pat Toomey is not optimistic about the chances of crypto legislation being passed during this Congress. Just prior to retiring from Congress at the beginning of the year, Toomey introduced his own crypto bill, which focused on stablecoin regulations. Now, the House currently has two major crypto bills eligible to be brought for a vote. One would establish a stablecoin framework while the other introduces more broad crypto regulations. While speaking at a Georgetown Law Seminar on Thursday, however, Toomey said, I don't see a path forward in the Senate regardless of how the vote goes in the House. He added that of the two, he sees the stablecoin legislation as having the best shot. The sticking point will likely be Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown. While Brown has been outspoken about the risks of crypto and the need to bring the industry to heel, he has so far remained extremely quiet on exactly what form of legislation would meet his approval. And of course, any crypto legislation would need the support of Democratic senators to pass a vote to become law. Still, during an interview on Thursday, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said that she thinks that Brown's lack of commitment to a legislative position might actually be a good thing. Shirzad said, Now, last week, Brown wrote a letter to head regulators at multiple agencies urging them to use their existing powers to crack down on non -compliant crypto firms. This of course seems to be the clear intention, at least at the SEC. On Tuesday, the head of that agency's crypto assets and cyber unit, David Hirsch, warned that more enforcement actions would be coming against crypto intermediaries, including DeFi protocols. Still, Toomey, who serves now as an advisor to Coinbase, views stablecoin legislation as the solvable problem. At the moment, Democrats are pushing for the Fed to serve a central role in regulating issuers rather than granting oversight power to state regulators. This preference is believed to be driven by the White House. Toomey said, He thinks that senior Democrats will get on board once the White House is satisfied with the stablecoin proposal. Although that proposal might have to wait until after the election, as Toomey said in the next Congress, I think it's quite possible to get something done.

Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from 10 Fun Facts About Realtors (#7 Will SHOCK You!)
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money, and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. We are back. We've got a fun show for you today. We are talking about the National Association of Realtors member profile. Julie and I picked out what we feel are the 10 most interesting points from the member profile and I think point number seven, maybe even point number eight will really surprise you. So Julie, we have a lot to go through. Let's just jump right in. Yes, this is about all of you listening and the agents that you deal with day to day. I think I had a few little mini surprises, but let's go through these relatively quickly. First of all, the typical realtor had 11 years of experience. That's actually up from eight from last year. I think that that's probably surprising to some of you because you know, there are a lot of new licensees and some of you deal with each other all the time, but 11 years of experience is the average. Now we're going to just remember as we go through these points, Julie and I are going to do our best to sort of decipher, I think in a lot of ways, some of this information because when it gets to, for example, they're going to, we're going to talk about average income for the average agent and all the rest of it, but they don't think it's confusing to be honest with you. I can't really understand and maybe somebody who is more knowledgeable about this stuff can put in comments, Nara will often say things like the family income or the household income of the average agent, but I'm not so sure. I mean, does that mean like for example, there's a guy and his wife is a brain surgeon and she makes like $14 million a year and he makes like $4 a year selling real estate, you know, and so obviously that's going to affect the average agent's income. Again, I'm not sure I'm reading the question correctly, but let's just get right to it. Yes, that's right. We'll translate as best we can with the information we've got. So next is interesting because with the market shift, a lot of people like to say, oh, everybody's going to get out of the business and yet 76 % of realtors were very certain that they will remain active as a real estate professional for at least the next two years. Now, Julie and I predicted that when the COVID hit and all the rest of it, that there would be no major drop off in the number of members of a national association of realtors. And those of you who've been attached to us for a long period of time, you will remember us telling you why, and I'll for the rest of you tell you why now, because in previous, you know, fortunately there wasn't a slowdown following COVID, but in previous slowdowns or recessions or all kinds of other things like that in the economy, there hasn't been a decrease in the number of agents, but an increase. And so Julie and I went back as far as we could find from national association of realtors looking at the number of members, and it was very clear that what we theorized was correct just simply by looking at the numbers of agents joining during economic slowdowns. So why do people get real estate licenses during slowdowns? Side hustle. That's true. They need to make more money. Or maybe, you know, if you go back to the sixties and seventies, there were a lot of ladies that were looking to get into real estate that maybe hadn't had out of the home employment before and things of that nature, retired people, but really the real reason why Julie and I knew there wasn't going to be a precipitous drop in the number of, you know, members of the national association of realtors was demographics and demographics ultimately is going to run the show for the real estate industry for the rest of our lives and beyond. The number of humans in the United States that want and need to buy or sell real estate is only increasing. And it didn't make sense to us that, uh, just because there would have been hypothetically because of COVID some kind of slowdown, which as all of you know, there was not quite the opposite actually. Exactly. And just a flash forward to today, we now see that again, Julie and I's theory was correct and you notice all the other naysayers that were, uh, predicting doom and gloom about the number of agents dropping dead, like, you know, 2014 levels or whatever. They're all wrong. And the total number of agents did decrease, but I think it was, it was by basically nothing. And now here's another prediction. Wait for it. We are expecting the number of people getting real estate licenses will start to increase over the next 12 months. I'm following, I think what was a lot of people deciding to, you know, should I get a license? Shouldn't I get a license? And here's how I know that's true. The number of emails and the number of texts I get from people who are getting real estate licenses who want to join Julie and I at eXp royalty is through the roof. Absolutely. And I would also concur from my own private elite coaching clients. Many of them have gotten their adult children licensed, their transaction coordinator licensed, their assistant licensed. You know, there's a lot of things that happen, um, with a change and doing more volume that just, you know, people want to have their family work in the business. There's lots of that going on about 6%. By the way, I did read that about 6 % of current licensees, uh, got licensed as a result of doing something during COVID, you know, supplementing their other job, for example. That's a good point. I mean, there also was a baby boom, you know, so between studying for the real estate test and the, you know, the other thing, I guess there you go, Oh, and I'm sure a lot of those babies eventually get licenses too. I mean, Zoe's already wanting to get a license. So as far as those of you who are looking to upgrade your brokerage experience, a reminder Julie and I are proudly associated with eXp royalty. So if you're looking to join eXp royalty and you're looking for a sponsor, they'll be very proactive in your success at eXp. There are two paths forward for you. Number one is you could just text me directly, and this is if you're ready to land the plane and join eXp and you're ready to choose your sponsor, text me directly at 512 -758 -0206, 512 -758 -0206, text don't call. The other thing you can do also is if you're filling out the application, just put Julie Harris, Georgetown, Texas as your sponsor. If you want to learn more about why so many agents are joining with Julie and I in our group at eXp Realty, by the way, our eXp Realty group, listen to this guys, our eXp Realty group so far this year has done 3 billion, 300 million in real estate transactions on over 11 ,000 transactions if I remember correctly, most of which are on the seller side. So if you want to talk about an incredible success during what should be a slower year for virtually everyone, our eXp Realty group is actually increasing by significant margins and units and in total dollar volume. So yes, we'd love to have you as part of our overall group and if you're ready to join eXp Realty here are your two paths. One, you can just frankly scroll down and click the link and go over that's in the show description below and read more about our eXp Realty group or you can just text me directly at 512 -758 -0206, 512 -758 -0206. In the market that is going to start happening, we're going to guess the next 6 to 12 months it's going to feel very much more like a real estate, frankly, recovery if not a surge. You definitely want to be with a broker that's going to have your back and definitely want to be with a team that you know is experienced to make it so you can help the most people and maximize your potential in real estate and please do consider Julie and I for the job of being your eXp Realty sponsors. All right, next surprising point. Well, next, in last year based on the NAR report, the typical agent had 12 transactions which was the same as the previous year. Now what was the sales volume? Well, the median sales volume for brokerage specialists increased to 3 .4 million from 2 .6 million, so things are looking up there as well. Now they always do a survey about how agents perceive what's going on with their prospects, right? Let's go back to that point, okay? So again, this always goes back to the interesting things when you dig into the numbers. So if the average agent and we are talking about 12 transactions, right? I'm looking at your notes. So 12 transactions and the average home in the United States is $400 ,000. So if you did, for example, I mean, if it's you guys, whatever your market commission is, but let's just call it $10 ,000, $10 ,000 times 12 transactions is $120 ,000 a year and you wonder why real estate is such an amazing business to be in. I mean, come on, it's incredible because during inflationary times, yes, everything is getting more expensive, but so is real estate, which means your average commission is also increasing. Look how smart you were to be in real estate where most everyone else is suffering from inflation and the cost of living and all the rest of it. You actually have a built -in pay increase year after year as things start to inflate even more so in real estate. So there you go, go you. Exactly. And related to that, 17 % of agents sold 10 million or more in volume, 4%, 15 million or more, and 5%, 20 million or more. Some of that you can chalk up to higher average sale prices, but again, go you because it's baked in that you're going to make more money doing more deals at a higher price, right? Okay, so let's look at the next one. All right, so at 32%, lack of inventory remains the most important factor limiting potential clients from making a purchase followed by housing affordability and difficulty finding the right property. I think difficulty finding the right property is the same as lack of inventory.

"Welcome to Available Worldwide, the podcast by, for, and about the accompanying partners of the U .S. Foreign Service. Welcome to Available Worldwide. I'm Stephanie Anderson here today with Jessica Hayden. Welcome Jessica. Thank you so much. So your byline is writer, lawyer, and diploma.

I like to read. I try to like to cook. I'm not always great at it, but I enjoy it. And I used to knit a ton and my daughter's taken it up, so I'm trying to, trying to start knitting again. I love that you said you try to like to cook. Well, it's one of those things, especially when you're living overseas, there's certain things that you just can't get as easily, right? Like tortillas. So I've taught myself to make tortillas or things that the kids really like. So we try. Speaking of tortillas, what's your favorite comfort food? It's definitely anything Italian. So I grew up in a town that was half Polish, half Italian. And so our school meals would be a lot of pasta, a lot of pierogies. So my favorites are baked seedy and lasagna and the stuff that puts on five pounds in the winter. I mean, it's kind of the definition of comfort food. Absolutely. Not a salad. So I know you guys just moved to The Hague. You're currently sitting in an empty house with your welcome kit and not much else. The Drexel. And the Drexel. I can see all the Drexel behind you. When you move, is there anything impractical that you carry around the world with you? We right now own a 200 -pound Turkish door from the west coast of Turkey. It's beautiful. It is so heavy and adds so much weight. And this time I brought it. I didn't want to put it in storage again, so it is completely impractical. It's a huge piece of art. It's very hard to hang on the wall, but we brought it because I love it. I can picture it. I'm sure it's gorgeous. But 200 pounds. Wow. Yeah. That's a commitment. It's ridiculous. So you've mentioned Turkey. So what other countries have you lived in? So we actually have progressively moved west. So our first tour was in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and in between each tour we went back to the U .S. But we've been in Kazakhstan, Baku, Azerbaijan, Ankara, Turkey, our fifth year there my husband did an unaccompanied assignment in Iraq. And then we were in Ukraine and now we're in the Netherlands. So let's get into talking about sort of the progression of your life as a Foreign Service accompanying partner. I know you started in this lifestyle pretty early on in your marriage. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Sure. I met my husband actually playing kickball in D .C. and he was already in training for the Foreign Service. So we knew pretty early on we'd have a big decision to make whether we were going to I remember can't exactly when he found out he was going to Kazakhstan, but it seemed pretty obvious that that was too far to date. And so after about a year of dating, we got engaged. And so I finished my first year of law school and then we moved to Kazakhstan six weeks later after we got married. We got married right after my first year of law school. So yeah, we've been doing this. It's been part of our relationship and marriage since the beginning. Can you remember back? Was that a really difficult decision for you to make between finishing law school in the U .S. and moving to Kazakhstan? It's interesting because I always felt like I could make everything work and it might not work in the way that you typically do things. So when I started law school, I remember going into the administration really early and explaining the situation. And I said, well, you have five years to finish, so you don't have to do it in three years. You can do it in five. So we went into it knowing we'd be in Kazakhstan for two years and that we would have to come back to the States next time. So I could finish law school. So early on, we kind of hopscotched. It was his career for a couple of years and then my career for a couple of years. At some point, that became very complicated. But it did work pretty well as a baseline understanding between the two of us. You did manage to finish law school within the five years. And that resonates with me, the idea that you looked at and you're like, I can make this work. Like, there's always a way to make it work. And then you were able to actually work in law when you were abroad? I was, yeah. It was really important to me. So I attended Georgetown. So my husband was able to still work in D .C. and I was local. And I really wanted to do a clerkship, which is where you work for a judge for a year. And so we made it work that we could stay in the States for those three years. And so I started out clerking for a judge. We're actually based in the West for a year, which was pretty neat and not very typical. I And then was able to get a fellowship when we moved to Azerbaijan next. So I did a freedom of speech fellowship with the American Bar Association. So it probably wasn't the typical path I would have taken, but it opened up a really interesting experience. I got to work in an NGO and then we came back to the States after that so I could practice at a law firm for a few years. So again, it was this kind of, you know, you get two years in Baku and you're kind of the lead and then we'll go back to D .C. where I can, you know, it might not have been his dream position back in D .C., but I got to do something that I thought was important for my career. I know a lot more people are teleworking these days. Do you think you could have done it teleworking or for your career was it important to have that time back in the U .S. to get more established? It was pretty important to come back to D .C. at that point. And I do know it is so different after COVID. I do know a lot of lawyers started after law school during COVID and did it remotely. I was doing a lot of litigation, which is very jurisdiction specific. So it was it I think it was instrumental to be here and then also to make the connections within that law firm, which were really helpful when we went back out again, because I had this pipe dream that I would be able I was working for a client and I talked my way into doing a bribery case. And I had this thought that kind of ironic, you talked your way into doing a bribery case. I talked my way in without bribing, no bribery at all. But, you know, litigation is very U .S. specific. I had this thought that if I could get involved in anti -corruption work, that's something that in the past 10 years has exploded in corporate America. Every corporation has a compliance department. They do a lot with anti -bribery, with sanctions. They're desperate for U .S. trade lawyers who are willing to travel to all of these different places. And so it's one of the things I kind of thought, well, this might be a path and it ended up working out. So I was very lucky to have a mentor whose daughter had married a Foreign Service officer and she was a lawyer as well. And they had been actually posted in Istanbul and she had a really hard time finding work there. And so I felt like he very much facilitated for me what he wished somebody had done for his daughter. And he was very helpful in talking to the client and kind of going to bat for me to say, you know, she can work, she can do this work from Truckee when you move. And so it wasn't, you know, in a different world, I probably would have loved to have stayed at the law firm for a few more years, but it really was at the time a great next step and allowed me to continue practicing through that next move. That's amazing having someone advocate for you and just to understand where you're coming from and the challenges.

Watch anytime on any screen at snc .tv and local now channel 525. I talked with Ro Khanna yesterday, your colleague, about a lot of things, but I did not cover your Washington Post article because I wasn't aware of it at the time I talked to Ro Khanna. Do the Democrats agree with you in the Washington Post article that we ought not to be funding with American dollars Chinese aircraft carriers? Some do. I mean, I think everyone can agree upon at least that aspect of it, that American dollars should not be funding the Chinese Communist Party's military buildup. Make no mistake, they're embarked on the largest sustained peacetime military buildup since World War II, potentially ever, depending on how you defined it. We shouldn't be investing our money in Chinese aircraft carriers, fighter jets, artillery shells, advanced nuclear technology, but that's what's happening. We launched a bipartisan investigation into BlackRock and MSCI. My ranking member, Raja Krishnamoorthi, has expressed a ton of concern about American dollars funding Chinese military buildup. In many cases, this money is going to companies that have already been flagged on various government blacklists for posing national security risks. What's crazy, Hugh, is that it's not illegal, but it's suicidal. We're subsidizing our own destruction. We're allowing pension funds, university endowments to invest in Chinese companies that are building things designed to kill Americans in a future conflict. No matter where you draw the line for decoupling, let's say you just want transparency measures, as some Republicans do. You want a broader set of restrictions on American money going into China, as I do. I think what's inarguable is that money shouldn't be funding military companies and technology companies like AI companies in China that are perfecting their genocidal surveillance state. Now, the Financial Times also ran a story this morning that Goldman Sachs has been taking Chinese money, laundering it in effect. It's not criminal, but they're hiding the origin of the money, and they're buying U .S. companies. It's the opposite of what BlackRock is doing, which is sending American money to Chinese companies. They're taking Chinese money and putting it into American companies. Do you want to stop that flow as well? Well, particularly if these are national security -related companies, I saw that some of the investments were in the cyber space and in the supply chain space. It all depends on what type of control comes with the investment, but potentially, that could give them access to information or effective control over companies. That would be bad for American national security. I think it's definitely worth looking into. The bottom line is, Congress, we need to step up and legislate a fix to some of this stuff, whether it's on outbound capital flows, which the Biden administration just released an executive order that's filled with loopholes. It's a step in the right direction, but it doesn't go far enough. We need to legislate that when it comes to Chinese money being invested in American companies. We tried to fix CFIUS to get at some of that issue, but clearly, it's not up to the task. We need to legislate a fix to that. Here's the other thing, Hugh, that I find interesting when it comes to American investments in China. In addition to being morally reprehensible, the Chinese funds have been terrible investments. Over the last five years, the S &P 500 has soared to about 78%. Meanwhile, things like BlackRock's FXI ETF, which invests in these Chinese large -cap companies, it's down 30 % in that same period, even as Chinese GDP supposedly doubled. That doesn't make sense. A lot of the funds we looked at in our investigation similarly underperformed drastically. Where did the money go? Is it going into corrupt Communist Party coffers? I don't know. My only point is that beyond the national security concerns, just as an investment proposition, China looks bad. There are systemic risks to a continued investment in China that range from having your assets seized in the event they try and take over Taiwan, or just the inherent risk involved in things like variable interest entities, for which there are no shareholder protections. Part of what we're trying to do on the committee in a bipartisan fashion is to engage Wall Street in a dialogue about this. It just seems insane to me that we would continue to send our money to China, where it's being used for nefarious purposes. Well, you know, Chairman, the investment bankers make their bonuses based upon the amount of money they move through. So they have every Adam Smith -driven incentive to just blow you off. Does your panel have subpoena power, by the way? We do. I would grab Larry Fink. I would grab Jamie Dimon. Separate hearings. And I would put them down and say, let's talk about this because it's a national crisis. Let me ask you, by the way, I think if I had a bell, I would have rung it when you said Sisyphus. I believe that violates the acronym rule, does it not? Oh, you got me, Hugh. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. I apologize. $10 to Food for the Poor, because that's it. It's $10 tip jar for Food for the Poor. When you use an acronym. I want to talk to you about increased applying unilaterally. I did because you're a repeat offender. Like, you know, that on the sentencing guidelines, people who do the same thing over and over again, they get fined more. Princeton people are particularly prone to this. And then when you pick up a Ph .D. from Georgetown, you really become. And then you go to Marine. Did you ever go to the command general staff college or the war college or anything like that? No, I got out as a captain before I had to do all that before my brain was corrupted. Well, they have many acronyms there. I'm listening to a bio of Eisenhower and I can't keep up. Let me ask you something, Chairman. Ro Khanna was on and we were talking about artificial intelligence. And he said they're sitting down with the speaker about what to do. I have no preconceived opinions, but I do think they might want to just add the Select Committee on Engagement with the Chinese Communist Party, and artificial intelligence regulation, because you've got a smart group of people. It's working. Would you be opposed to that if the speaker and the minority leader wanted to expand the jurisdiction of the committee to look at what we do about A .I.? Not at all. And we've actually, in our early investigation, had numerous conversations about A .I. and I would expect those to be part of future policy reports. We release, I would note Ro Khanna is my ranking member on the innovation subcommittee on armed services. And we see eye on a lot of things related to military innovation going forward and have a very good working relationship. And he's willing and I think him going on your show is a testament to this. One thing I really respect about Ro is he's willing to mix it up. Obviously, he's very progressive. We disagree on a lot of issues. I'm right. He's wrong. But I respect his intellect and his willingness to mix it up. Three quick ideas here on A .I. for small steps we can take in this Congress as we consider sort of the broader long -term implications. Well, related to what we were just talking about, American venture capitalists, American money in general shouldn't be allowed to invest in Chinese A .I. companies like Baidu. It just makes absolutely no sense. Again, we're subsidizing our own destruction. Two, when it comes to autonomous vehicle technology, which is going to be one of the most widespread deployments of A .I. in a way that really affects the American people over the next 10 years, right now of the 10 -ish companies that are allowed to test in America, at least three I believe are Chinese, but our companies are not allowed to test in China or expand really at all in China. And as a matter of reciprocity, that's wrong. We shouldn't allow Chinese A .V. companies here in America. And then finally, the ethical guidelines that the Pentagon has for the use of A .I. are a decent start. They're pretty good. I actually think we could build off those, expand those across the federal government with the goal of not innovation suppressing on A .I. or slowing down our efforts in this area, but also ensuring there are guardrails so that we don't have uncontrolled A .I. that does things that Americans are concerned about. And then you start to build out the concentric circle so we're on the same page with our allies. Start with our closest allies, the Brits and the Aussies, and then expand from there, and particularly focus on countries that have a unique technological capability in A .I. If we do that, if we get sort of the overall ethical framework right, I actually think we can turbocharge innovation in this space and make sure that we win the A .I. race and the CCP does not win the A .I. race. Well, it is a national security issue, but I've got three suggestions for you and your colleagues. First of all, a stand down order to every regulatory agency out there, the FTC and everybody else. They have no idea what they're doing. They just don't. A .I. is new. It's not meant for old regulatory structures like the Interstate Commerce Commission trying to regulate airplanes. Doesn't work. Number two, you've got to change the pay scale for technologists. Now, they used to have a special pay scale out at China Lake for the rocket scientists that we needed at China Lake and other advanced weaponry systems. We need a technologist pay scale that is just way better than we've got. We're going to lose every technologist that DARPA has. And then number three, and this is what I want to ask you about, we need visibility. I mean, walk in rights to every room in Silicon Valley and every A .I. company in the United States. By walk in rights, I mean, if a guy from DARPA shows up and they knock on the door at Metta and he says, show me to your A .I. lab, they don't get to lock the door. These are like nuclear science. We can't let this stuff be developed in private. Do you agree with me? I agree with that. I guess the flip side of that, though, Hugh, is enough research security such that, you know, an MSS operative, a Ministry of State Security think KGB in China couldn't just walk in to the same facility or United Front operative. And honestly, your reference to China Lake, I think, is a great instructive example here, because when it comes to the things we put in our weapons systems, we have a very old suite of things called energetics, which make our weapons go and go boom. We develop more advanced energetics at China Lake. It's called CL20. It stands for China Lake 20. The Chinese stole that technology. That's what they put in their weapons systems. And that's why their their rockets go farther than us and have greater destructive impact. So that's a lesson in how not to do things. And we remain too risk averse to use things like CL20, even though it's now old technology. It was developed in the 80s. So a lot of examples that we can use from there in order to apply to the A .I. competition today. I'm going to geek out. The Office of Personnel Management, AKA OPM, so I don't get fined. OPM had a separate schedule for scientists at China Lake that was policed by the deputy director I replaced, the deputy director at OPM. He was a scientist who had worked there. And he said, you know, no one's going to work for us unless we pay them. It was like double the highest number. Rowe said yesterday we got to pay him like we pay our doctors. No, no, no. We're not going to. This is the most lucrative field in the world. You got to give him a piece of the intellectual property. I mean, you really have to come to grips with the fact that technologists make the dollars. And I don't know that the American people really understand the difference between what the private sector pays a level one technologist and what the government will. We're going to lose everybody.

Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from Real Estate Agents Complete Door Knocking Guide (Part 4)
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. We are back. And actually we are picking up where we left off a week ago when we were talking about door knocking. And I have to say, Julie, the door knocking podcast series that you wrote has become one of our biggest downloaded and listened to podcasts. And now it's quickly becoming one of our biggest downloaded and viewed YouTube videos, which it is something door knocking and learning how to be a proactively generator is definitely something that everyone wants to know how to do, needs to know how to do, because really a lot of the passive lead generation stuff from social and from buying leads, it's had its day in the sun, all these passive ideas and as the economy changes, as the housing market changes, people are realizing they are going to have to actually get off their dust and learn how to be proactively generators and had to have real meaningful conversations with real estate perspective, real estate clients. And in doing so, and I know you're reading this as well from our people who email us and text us and all the rest of it, they're having more expensive, more expensive, right? They're having more success from that experience faster than they thought. They that they had no clue, frankly, that they're going to be able to generate so many leads so quick. Yes, absolutely. And here's the thing. This doesn't cost you anything. Right. And at the same time, there's so many added benefits. For example, of course, your skills are going to increase your ability to have really great, valuable conversations about real estate. That's going to get better and better with every conversation you have. Of course, we all know that most real estate transactions do indeed come from a face to face conversation about real estate. Most people will choose to work with the first person they talk to about their situation. Your job is to be that person. And another great byproduct of this, Tim, is that it creates a lot of lead follow up for these guys where also you have a high likelihood of setting your next appointments from. But, you know, really, all those things are the practical, tactical reasons you want to, you know, door knock or do any kind of proactive lead generation. But I'll say the biggest psychological mindset reason why is because a lot of agents right now, most agents right now are looking for a sense of direction. They feel the markets change. I mean, really, I don't know. Did I tell you this, Jules? They're originally they were expecting there to be five point five million home sales this year. And now they're actually projecting. I believe it's NAR that's projecting now it's only five million home sales. So five hundred thousand fewer home sales. But that's actually a million home sales fewer than last year or something like that. So you're talking about a very significant number of real estate agents who won't be doing real estate transactions at all. And a lot of the agents who are listening to us right now and are in the business have only been in real estate, frankly, for the last five years or less. And if you've not sold real estate for more than really 15 years, you've not sold real estate during a transitioning market, you're at an advantage and you're at a disadvantage. And the disadvantage is, you know, or the advantage is you don't have the battle scars, you know, so you don't have the bad memories of what that market's like. But the disadvantage is, is you don't know how different things really can be and how quickly they can change. And if you've been in real estate only in the really the last five or even 10 years, you've come up during a very sort of bizarre time in the real estate industry because there's been this advent of all this lead buying and team building and branding and marketing. These things really have hit their peak. Why? Because there was so much money that was in real estate, so many agents looking to spend money, so many agents not really understanding how to decide what they should spend their money on, if they should spend their money at all on anything. And so as a result, that's brought in a lot of these businesses that were venture funded. And, you know, I don't want to bore all of you, but the moral of the story is a lot of those businesses are washing out a lot of these ideas that never really worked in real estate, even in the best of times, are really going to prove out not to work certainly in a changing market like we're experiencing now. That's the reason every single one of you need to accept the fact that we're in a new market. And that's fantastic. There's going to be fewer transactions in most of the country. And that's actually not a bad thing either when you take into consideration that your biggest competitor, for the most part, isn't the seasoned grizzled veteran. Your biggest competitor is the other agent who just got their license or maybe the other agent who the seller might know because their kids played together or just some social connection. But as those types of agents who aren't really serious about the business get out of the business, the ones that have skills are actually they're absolutely going to clean up. That's the reason that during a market shift like this, you always see. Well, you see one or two things. You see new kings crowned, new queens crowned in the marketplaces. Those are the agents that were able to adapt to the new market, learn the new skills. They didn't wait around for the market to change back the way it was. They said, this is what it is. I'm going to make the most of it. And then sometimes you also see the agents who are at the top of the market, who are the actual dominant agents. They actually start to get more market share. So you could. But here's where it's interesting. It's fascinating. I have to be careful saying this because it offends some people, but it's still true. A lot of what happens in a market like this are the dug in grizzled teams and brokers refuse to change. They still try to carry their old way of thinking and their old expense structure into this new market. And when they do that and the new market essentially doesn't allow them to, frankly, make it work cash flow wise, they go out of business and they have to hit a hard reset on their personal and business lives. I'll suggest if you're in that bucket, if you're in that bracket, if you're realizing that you're essentially trying to model your business after something that worked in the past market, you need to take a seriously hard look at adapting very quickly to the new realities. Otherwise, frankly, you're going to most likely suffer needlessly. Don't wait to learn what I just said is true. Get ahead of whatever is going to happen next, because, guys, a million fewer transactions is a million fewer transactions. That's a lot of transactions that are leaving the marketplace. And a lot of you, again, have been buying your business and the quality of the leads. Have you noticed the quality, especially the buyer leads has really gone to pot? Well, that's just going to get worse as well. So please, please, please, please don't wait to experience hardship to realize what I'm telling you is true. Take action on all that now. So we're going to get back to door knocking. And this is the last part of our four part series. So, Julie, point number 13. Yes, part four point number 13 post on social media, especially on YouTube, a video of you starting to prospect a specific neighborhood. This should be you in front of the neighborhood sign or something recognizable about where you are. Share some fast facts and explain that you'll be there this afternoon, connecting with all of the neighbors and answering any real estate questions. Give your mobile number posted on all of your social media. And of course, you can refer to our podcast series about how to utilize videos for real estate agents. Now, let's I'm going to talk real briefly about this. First of all, YouTube is now migrating towards trying to be a little tick tocky. And so is Instagram. In other words, it's starting to give more priority to short videos, which is perfect because short videos don't have to be really produced at a high level. It's great. And what Julie just said, why are we telling you to do this? Because what's going to happen is as you're door knocking and getting to know the neighbors and essentially building your centers of influence and past clients, they're most likely going to do a little bit of googling on you to find out what your your story is. And so if you created a lot of these little short snippet, you know, tick tock type videos and they're on Instagram, they're on YouTube and maybe even on tick tock, what's going to happen is those search results will come up and they're going to see your very proactive in the community. You get it? So all we're trying to do is use the social to reinforce, use the passive, the social media to reinforce the proactive, which is you door knocking. That is closing the loop. That's creating a Web. Now, there is a way to do these videos. And Julie gave you some ideas. We also include in our premier coaching, which is free for all of you, a 12 month social media marketing plan. It's something a lot of you, frankly, are struggling with because you don't know what to talk about, what to do. And we give you a lot of great ideas, kind of model out your entire year what you should be doing. I just gave you some ideas right there. If you want to join premier coaching for free, you heard that right. For free, simply text the word premier to four seven three seven two. Text the word premier to four seven three seven two. Or you can always go to members dot Tim and Julie Harris dot com if you don't want to text or if you're outside of the continental United States.

This is a perfect time of year for you to be getting your skills 100 percent in alignment with this new market. So text the word premier to four seven three seven two. Remember, when texting message and data rates may apply. Yes. So back to point number 13, just for a second. So let's say that you went door knocking today in Oak Creek. You talked about it. You gave some fast facts. You let everybody know you'll be there this afternoon. Well, maybe this weekend somebody in Oak Creek is thinking about listing their property. One of the first things they're going to do is go to Google and say agents or realtors or real estate agents in Oak Creek. They want to know who actually sells that area. And guess whose video is going to pop up, assuming that you did point number 13. Well, you know, you're going to get me we're never going to move past 13. But this is really this is such a sweet thing that she just said. You all should do this experience or experiment. Go to your phone, go to open up Chrome, assuming you have that on your phone, and then do a search for Julius using Oak Creek. I mean, Oak Creek's a subdivision we used to sell in. But use the name of a subdivision in a community, like as if you were a buyer looking. And then what I want you to notice is the first ads that come up are the pay -per -click ads. And then after that, what you're going to see is usually in the second or usually the first, second or third search results, you're going to see search results from YouTube. In other words, you're going to see that Google is starting to give priority to these short little snippet videos that I just described to you, and they're prioritizing the videos above the normal search results. In other words, you're going to get primo search results. Why? Because they want people to click search results and they know people will click video search results, like at a 5 to 1 ratio, more than a textural search result. So you need to be doing these little short videos in conjunction with what you're already doing. Now, it's not enough just to do the video. You're going to have to use a system like the one Julie and I use is called vidIQ to make sure you're getting all the YouTube SEO stuff right. You have to title it right. You have to put in tags. It's all very... None of that's hard, though. Oh, it's super simple. I mean, frankly, if you and I know how to do it. Right. And vidIQ is so cheap, I don't even remember how much it costs. There's a free version. OK, there you go. And we're not we're not affiliated with vidIQ. It's just vidIQ. And then it'll tell you essentially how to make it so that your videos get higher placement. The key is always to have very drilled down titles in your descriptions saying today I'm door knocking and getting to know the neighbors in Oak Creek subdivision nothing and a lot of you know, you don't need a lot of blithering and blathering, just very three or four lines. And then you want to put your links. You want to if you'd like to contact me about home for sale in Oak Creek or if you're thinking about selling your home in Oak Creek and then give your cell phone number, things like that. And what you'll find is you'll start generating leads from your YouTube. But what you're really trying to do is close the loop. Door knock. Hello. Hi, it's Bob at my door. Bob's here to provide me some information about recent home sales. Bob's, you know, very nice, very approachable. I like Bob. Bob's great. He's obviously trying to do a great job getting home sold in our community. Well, I'm more curious. I'm curious about Bob before I actually want to further my relationship with him. I have my phone in my pocket. I pull it out. I Google Bob's name, but I find Bob's actually very proactive. You guys get it. This is all free. Every single thing we told you how to do so far is free. Yes. And the super cool thing about doing the video in addition or in conjunction with your actual door knocking is that that video is going to live on and the search results will live on. So it gives a boost to that door knocking. OK, point number 14, door knock the neighborhood prior to all of your open houses. Again, give out a flyer with the stats for the neighborhood and add your home brochure for the home that you'll hold open. Ask who they know who you should invite to the open house. Ask permission to place your directional signs in the yards. And don't forget to ask, who do you know who could use my help buying or selling real estate? Well, let me give you a little bit of an enhancement to this. Now, this will work pretty much in all price ranges. But what our best age we have agents that are making, you know, millions of dollars per year. One of their primary lead drivers is doing exactly what we talk about. One of the things you want to do, it works sometimes unbelievably well in certain neighborhoods, usually more expensive neighborhoods realistically. But one of the things you want to do is you want to have a neighbors only open house prior to the main open house. And so what you can do is you can go and door knock the neighbors, invite them to the open house, and then by inviting them to the open house, you're going to maybe have the open house, the normal one for the public open from one till four, where you're going to have the neighbors only open house from, say, you know, 12 till one or something like that. What you're doing is you're just showing that you're more proactive and you're getting to know all the neighbors and the neighbors are going to think, you know what? This gives me the opportunity to go through that house and look in their garage and see if they ever gave me my mower back or my, you know, search for that search for the missing, you know, whatever, see if my neighbors accidentally snatched it. That's a bad joke, but you guys get the point. What we're really trying to do is position you, put you in. You're now door knocking. You're now having conversations. You're now delivering value to people. You're now being the person you want to be and you're working in the communities you want to work. You're actually doing real work of real estate. How does that make you feel? How does that make you feel versus, say, for example, working on your CRM more or less confident? How does that make you feel knowing you're having direct conversations with people versus, say, building a big funnel that hopefully maybe you're going to spend a bunch of money trying to get people to go into so you can drip on them door knocking, having real proactive conversations. It immediately energizes you, immediately makes you more in alignment with your highest and truest purpose in this planet, which is being of service to other people. Point number fifteen. Yes, and number fifteen is a mindset point. Believe that door knocking works and it will work. How you speak with someone when you're prospecting is greatly influenced by how you're thinking about what you're doing. Napoleon Hill said, what the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. You'll have more energy and enthusiasm when you're all in versus I'm going to try it out or I'll see how it goes. I'm just going to do this for one day and see whether it works or not. So believe that it's working. Be consistent about it and your your attitude about it will cause you to have better results. And also with regards to that, when you're door knocking, use the scripts that we give you. We talked about those a little bit on the first couple of shows of the series, but obviously these are all waiting for you over on premier coaching and all of you are ready to join premier coaching. Don't wait. Just text the word premier to four seven three seven two and you can join right away. Remember when texting message and data rates may apply. Yes. Now our final point, number sixteen is number sixteen in a four part series because it's a bit more advanced. It's also one of my favorite points about door knocking. You can create a neighborhood directory as a way to get everyone's contact information and connect the community. This can be digital and or hard copy. It's a great excuse to door knock and you're providing value to the community. You can include a map of the neighborhood, phone numbers to the utility companies who service the neighborhood and a section for other recommended providers like the sprinkler guy, a pool guy, a painter, a dog walker, a babysitter. And of course, your real estate ad with testimonials will be in that section as well. Or you could put it in the back cover as directory sponsored by Bob Smith of Exp Realty, for example. This is why hard copy is nice. It stays in their kitchen with your information on it and they use it all the time. They're not going to throw it out. This is such a huge idea when you do it well. And of course, Julie and I did this as well. And yes, we could have leaned into one of those online portals. What was the one that was in Georgetown, like nextdoor .com and they provide. But they're keeping all of that pertinent information behind a paywall and you're not in control of it. So really, what you want to do is there's a couple of different ways to go about this. I would say you'll experience, again, depending on the price range, you're going to experience 50 percent of the people are going to be very apprehensive about giving their information out. So here's the move is you want to essentially create a fill in the blank flyer and the fill in the blank flyer has no required information. Now, you can have an address associated with a name. You don't have to have their permission to say one, two, three Elm Street is lived in by Bob and Betty Jones. Right. You can do that. All their other information, they have to decide whether they want to share it, their phone numbers, their email addresses, whatever else it is. So you will door knock and you will say we're putting together a directory as a community service. And this directory is only going to be given to people in the neighborhood. It's not going to be shared any other way. It's only going to be in print format. It's not going to be a digital format. No one's going to be able to essentially email it or anything like that. So you don't have to worry about any nefarious marketing that might happen as a result of it. This is just for the neighborhood. In addition to that, we're going to include a list of the service providers. So if you've got any on the same fill in the blank thing, who is your favorite babysitter? Who's your favorite roofer? Who is your preferred landscaper? Who is your preferred all the rest of it? Right. If you're from Columbus, Ohio, like where Julie and I are from, who's the best, most reliable person that's going to show up in the middle of the night and move the 14 feet of snow off your driveway, all that sort of thing. Right. Give them the babysitters, all these types of things. But that's really valuable. You know, I mean, how many times do you, oh, I got to go Google that and then I've got to look at reviews and I got to sift and sort all that out. What if you knew, and we talk about this all the time, that when somebody needs a service provider, what do they do? Who do I already know? If I don't already know somebody, I'm going to ask a trusted friend or advisor. I'm probably going to ask a neighbor because they're going to know who services the community. So this is a really valuable thing for you to put together. That will have shelf life. And of course, you can sponsor the back cover. You can include yourself in the service providers. There's lots of ways you can work this. And so you can you should do this. This is just thinking big here. You should do this every year. Now, when Julie and I did this, what we did was we do it. Actually, I don't think we updated it every year. I think we updated it like every 18 months or 24 months. But it was it was obviously completely voluntary. At first, people were apprehensive and then they felt left out. They had FOMO if not being in the directory.

The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from Ivermectin FDA Approved & the Mysterious Die-Off Of Young Americans with Dr. Pierre Kory and Alan Dershowitz
"The U .S. dollar has lost 85 % of its value since the 70s, when the dollar decoupled from gold, and the government seems bent on continuing the tradition. Charlie Kirk here. From now until after the elections, the government can print as much money as they want. The last time they did that, inflation went up 9%.

Hey everybody, to end the Charlie Kirk show, Dr. Pierre Khoury joins us about the war on Ibermectin. May we never forget what they did to early treatments. It's evil. It's evil. And then Alan Dershowitz joins us. Professor Alan Dershowitz joins us to talk about the indictments against Donald Trump and why he's more fired up than ever. It's a great conversation.

Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible job. Building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. We have joining us momentarily Dr. Pierre Corey, who's the author of The War on Ivermectin. This is a very important topic. You might say, well, Charlie, you know, the COVID stuff is over. Hold on a second. No, no, no. This was one of the great cover -ups of our time. The fraud, the deception, the lying, the authoritarianism, the doublespeak. As if no one is noticing, the CDC, the FDA, is it the CDC or the FDA? The FDA? The FDA now says Ivermectin perfectly fine for treating COVID. You remember back when they called it horse paste that we actually lost access to our social media because we even recommended Ivermectin? How many millions of lives could have been saved? Not necessarily just domestically, but internationally. How many hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved? We don't know. Pharmacies would not fill prescriptions for Ivermectin. I was with a pharmacist last night in Washington. She came up to me at an event, said, Charlie, I was fired from my job for fulfilling legitimate prescriptions for Ivermectin. How many people have gone to jail for this? This is one of the most evil campaigns that we have seen. To date, no one has been held accountable for it. Anthony Fauci is making more money than ever lecturing at Georgetown University. Play cut seven, please. We learned this morning that the FDA is now saying that it's okay to take Ivermectin if you have COVID. Marie, you know the doctors I've been dealing with and talking to for years now, they believe that probably hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives because they were denied really treatment. And they were denied it because the FDA sabotaged, for example, Ivermectin, who said, come on, y 'all, you're not a cow, you're not a horse. This is supposedly horse medicine. No, this is a Nobel Prize winning medicine that could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. They needed to demonize early treatments because early treatments then would have prevented panic around the virus, would prevented lockdowns, prevented vaccine mandates. The cause set in kill in the crib, and excuse the graphic detail there, the idea of early treatments. Joining us now is a hero, Dr. Pierre Khoury, who has been a dog with a bone with this and has been outspoken and clear. Doctor, I hate to say we knew you were right all along. Your book, Everyone Should Check Out, The War on Ivermectin. What is your reaction now that the government is repeating what you have been saying for years? Well, Charlie, finally, we got him a little bit, right? So that court case last week, the FDA lawyer looked like a fool. I mean, you could see them backtracking. We knew what they were doing the whole time. And now they have to admit it, right? They're sheepishly admitting that their guidance were just quips. That's literally what they said. Oh, we were just quipping, right? Which is kind of a humorous phrase or a witty phrase. That's not what we paid the FDA to do. And they clearly were intervening in the practice of medicine, which they have no authority to do. And we also know it's beyond the FDA. It's literally the synchronized coordination of all three agencies to suppress early treatment. And I appreciate what you just said, you know, you described it as evil and millions of lives lost. Those are both true statements. The challenge that I have is the individual people who are part of that work in those agencies and are doing those actions. I don't know that they individually understand impacts what their actions are having. But this is a massive story. I mean, the FDA finally admits something that we already knew, which is that off label prescribing is legal, not only legal, but it's championed by the FDA. They want us to use off label drugs, because we know there's a lot of diseases in which already approved drugs are effective, and we should be using those physicians to help our patients. And now the truth comes out after two years of just disinformation and propaganda. There was pure disinformation and propaganda, and some Americans are now just all rolling their eyes, shrugging their shoulders, whatever, distant memory. We cannot forget this story, everybody. Think about how many kids had to have school lockdowns because the virus was such a big threat. Think about how many kids committed suicide because of the lockdowns. How many students that are still experiencing depression and anxiety, they're on Benzos or Xanax or Zoloft or some form of that because of the lockdowns. We are still living with the consequences. If we would have been able to have Dr. Corey, early treatments, we would have been a freer society. Is that fair to say? There's no question. I mean, early treatments were a major, major impediment to the prepaying goals of the COVID response, right? Which was this global vaccination campaign. And that's what everyone needs to understand about why these actions were taken against ivermectin and also hydroxychloroquine, right? Is that they were effective early treatments, which would have decimated, first of all, would have removed the ability to give an emergency use authorization for the vaccines. And it would have absolutely skyrocketed vaccine hesitancy. Come on, all of your listeners, all of my colleagues, everyone that I know in my life would have rather taken one of the safest drugs in history than an experimental gene therapy shot. I mean, it was so important that they destroy the idea that there was an effective early treatment. And I hope this sad, tragic tale is known by most. And that's really what my book is about. I want people to know what they did, how they did it, so that we can prevent this from happening again. We're not going to fall for these lies. Well, and I just one of the elements that still fires me up is when is Joe Rogan going to get his apology? He was very close to losing his Spotify show, dangerously close. And he's a man of great courage. And you know, on the conservative right, some people don't like Joe Rogan's politics. I don't care. He stood up when we needed him. And he and he had a series of interviews. And not to mention, remember his selfie video he did, where changed, they by the way, the aesthetic on CNN to make him look green and sickly. I don't know if people remember that. And Joe Rogan was just asking the question. And they said, oh, no, no, Ivermectin was a horse dewormer. Actively involved in the murder of people is what the media was doing by saying that this drug is a horse dewormer and you're going to die from it and all this. When is Joe Rogan going to get his apology, Dr. Corey? He was just asking questions. This is, this is, and this is maddening to me. Charlie, you know, this we're never getting apologies. I know, but that I'm being somewhat, but you're, you're absolutely right. But let me put Joe Rogan's story into context. So there's a chapter in my book, which is called the horse dewormer PR campaign. And I literally trace the structure, the rollout and the sequence, the chronological sequence of what that was. And it was triggered in the middle of August of 2021, when data came out showing that the prescriptions of Ivermectin in the United States were hitting 90 ,000 a week, which was like 20 times pre pandemic levels, the other side got spooked. And you can see in rapid sequence, the CDC sent out a memo to every State Department of Health, which got to every licensed doctor in that state, warning them that people were getting sick from overdoses of Ivermectin, which was totally false. The the data that they provided was actually incorrect overinflated. and And after the CDC did that, the FDA followed up within two days with a tweet, then you started to see a PR campaign. And the way I recognize them, a friend of mine told me this trick is that he calls them two by fours, which is two weeks, four different music sources, hammering, hammering, hammering the same story synchronized, you know, memo messaging, and you got to see that right. So horse dewormer, horse dewormer, late night talk show host, daytime broadcasters, newspaper headlines. And here's the thing, Charlie, in the middle of it, on like September 3 or 5, Joe Rogan gets COVID and admits he took Ivermectin. So one of the things that I've been trying to tell Joe is like, dude, you got COVID in the middle of a global disinformation PR campaign against Ivermectin. And that's why he exploded in that issue is because they were literally making a major move to destroy Ivermectin. And he came out again, the book is the war in Ivermectin. Here's my take on it, which is the lockdowns were helpful politically to these tyrants and early treatments were a threat to tyranny. It's that you could go through the entire, if you have early treatments, then you don't need an mRNA gene altering shot. If you have gene, if you have early treatments, you don't have panic. If you have early treatments, you don't need lockdowns. If you have early treatments, you do not have massive trillions of dollars of bills being spent in Washington, DC. Early treatments was the cause set in motion. And they did everything they could Dr. Corey, but I'll say this, and I've said this privately before. You were terrific. You saved lives, Dr. Corey, you know that. And I really, you were, you did a moral good for our society. Everyone check out the book, The War on Ivermectin.
Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from Real Estate Agents: How To KNOW If You Are Going To WIN or Lose
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. Three, two, one, and we are back. We have a really great topic for all of you today. This is a, I think this is more of a coaching than a training podcast because really what this is designed to do, the content for today's show is designed to force you all to be very introspective about what your early warning signs are. That's right. So how do you actually know if your business is headed for a big slowdown? Will your income fall off a cliff in 60 or 90 days or 120 days, or will you actually stay in momentum? Well consider the fact that before there were reliable seismometers, earthquakes were even more destructive than they are today. Entire cities were built on fault lines and there would be no warning before destruction would ensue. So let's make this into a story, okay? So if you're living in Southern California, oh, it, by the way, it turns out Puerto Rico. Oh, okay. Who knew? Quick fun story for all of you. So when we moved to Puerto Rico in 2019, oh, we knew about the hurricanes and the hot summers. Yeah, we knew about occasionally the electrical grid and the water would stop working and all the rest of it. But what we didn't know, and for those of you who think we're smart, this will clear the air on that point, is that it turns out the bottom of Puerto Rico by this beautiful little town called Ponce is also a really, you know, ancient fault line. You know, not like there's new fault lines, but you get the point. So this fault line is known to occasionally not just to have like one, this little jarring earthquake, but it'll have a little earthquake followed by hundreds of other earthquakes. It'll awaken basically. So here we land in Puerto Rico in 2019, we're all excited to live here and it was a big deal and our family and dog and the whole nine yards. And then the electric goes off and then the water goes off. And then there's earthquakes that went on for what, two weeks? Literally every day for nearly a month. And these were not little ones either. These were the kind that you notice. Yeah. So when we're using this example and you're in California or Puerto Rico or like a lot of the places on planet earth, you know what a seismograph or seismometer is, is truly what it is. And it's just something that tells you it's a predictable, it's a piece of scientific equipment that's going to predict how big the earthquake is going to be. And so when you're thinking about the notes from today, think about that. So if you had a way of a mechanical device, let's say a piece of scientific equipment that could look into the future and can pay attention to the tiny little gyrations that are happening in your foundation, right? In your personal foundation and based on the frequency and the depth and all, you know, just different things that we're going to share with you on today's podcast that would shine light on really what was in your future as far as whether there was going to be a big earthquake, no earthquake at all. So keep that in mind as we're moving forward. That's right. And for those of you who have never actually experienced an earthquake, I have something for you too. Another analogy being that we grew up in the Midwest. Before tornado sirens, tornadoes would hit and nobody would have time to hide in cellars or basements. There was no warning to take action. And another analogy, and then we'll get to our five early warning signs that you can write down and maybe add some of your own. Before planes and pilots had the ability to detect and report turbulence to the planes around them, turbulence would seemingly come out of nowhere and surprise the passengers, wreck their lunch and freak everybody out. But now they have onboard weather radar and better reporting so they can warn everyone and steer around those disturbances. I find that to be much more comforting. I'm sure you do too. Yes. Because we can remember some of our early flights were like that. Weren't like that. I mean weren't. Yeah. Didn't have the warning. So fortunately now we have seismometers, tornado sirens and turbulence indicators. But what are your early warning signs? How do you know when you're getting off track before you're actually experiencing your own turbulence, earthquakes or a tornado to your income stream? Now if you were a coaching client, this is exactly what we tell you to do. We'd ask you to write out, write down what, and we're going to go through these to give the sort of, I think give you a basis for determining what your early warning signs are. And then when you, maybe you write all five of these down or maybe you come up with your own, write those down and you're going to post that in your work environment. Coaching clients, we'd have them write these on a three by five card, post it in their work environment, maybe post it on the refrigerator, post it everywhere so they can constantly be checking themselves against these early warning signs. You guys get it? Everyone likes to write down dreams and have goal boards and have, you know, dream boards and have all these other types of things. Well, what Julie and I figured out was if you actually had a list of the things that you need to be looking out for that are things that you must be avoiding, that that actually is even more powerful than having, say for example, the vacation to Disney world that you're planning on taking your family to. So Julie, five early warning signs, you're headed for a crash or maybe not crash, but maybe you're headed for a disturbance experiences. Indeed, and we're going to do those five common early warning signs and the solutions. Now remember guys, this is just trading though we are going to get into the weeds a little bit more than we normally do on today's show and if you're wanting to seed the notes for today's podcast, just scroll down there on iTunes, Spotify, everywhere you can possibly imagine.

All right Julie, five early warning signs. Early warning sign number one you might experience when or if you've started to blame everyone and everything for your lack of momentum, the market conditions, your broker, lack of inventory, higher interest rates or what parties in office or for some of you unfortunately you might be using all of those. So here's the solution, put down your blame thrower and embrace these affirmations. If it's meant to be, it's up to me and I'm a doer. I do things now. I get things done. In other words, take control back. It's nobody else's fault. You can control your outcome. In a world where it's become normalized, really not to take responsibility for much of anything because it's always somebody else's fault, a good starting point is to take a radical approach to assuming everything that happens to you both good and bad or by your own creation and this is a great example because frankly it overstates it, but let's say for example you're driving your car to a parking lot. Every time I tell this story, I always remember the parking lot in Georgetown where the Starbucks was. Yes.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ch Ahn (Encore)
"Welcome to the Eric Metaxas show. They say it's a thin line between love and hate. But we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least make it a double or triple line. But now here's your line jumping host, Eric Metaxas. I have a very special guest today. As you know, on Miracle Mondays, we try to have someone on who believes in miracles, who's maybe experienced some miracles, whose life itself is a miracle. Today, I am thrilled to have in the studio with me, all the way from Pasadena, California, Che Ahn. How do I describe Che Ahn? He's the founder and president of Harvest International Ministry, a worldwide apostolic network of churches in over 60 nations. My goodness, he's also the international chancellor of Wagner University. He's received his master's and doctorate in ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. He's written many books. He's been married for 40 years to his wife, Sue. They have four adult children, six grandchildren. I think that says it all. Che Ahn, welcome to the program. Well, thank you. What an honor to be on your show. Listen, it's my honor to have you. I've known you for many, many years. You haven't known of me, but I've known of your ministries. What was the one with fire in the title? I can't remember. It was Teen Mania, or what was it? It was something you did here in New York, like 12 or 13 years ago. Well, we did the Call New York. That's what it was. The Call New York. It was the Call New York. Yeah, 2001. That's, you know what? 2001? Yeah, after 9 -11. That is 18 years ago. Yeah, and it's interesting because initially when we came to mobilize the pastors, actually they were very, very rude. They said, we don't need the Call to come in. And then after 9 -11 hit, they said, we need to gather together and have a solemn assembly. We need to come together and repent of our sins. And before we knew it, over 100 ,000 people showed up in Flushing Meadow. The fact that that is 18 years ago completely blows my mind. Yeah, it's been a long time. Because I spoke briefly, I was on the stage, and I remember being amazed at the crowd. It was a huge crowd. Right. And I grew up in Flushing Meadow. I mean, I grew up a couple of miles from there, and we would, as a kid growing up in Queens, New York, I would hang out there. And so to see thousands and thousands of people, then that's when I met you. But for folks who know nothing about you, what is your story? How long have you been, by the way, in Pasadena? Well, I moved in 1984, but I grew up in Washington, D .C., in Montgomery County, Maryland. So this is out of D .C. My father was the first Korean Southern Baptist pastor in North America, so he immigrated in 1958. From Korea. From Korea, South Korea. There was no Korean Southern Baptist church in the United States. He was the first one, and so they wanted him at the nation's capital. There was a handful of Korean students who were studying at Georgetown, George Washington, Catholic University, to help rebuild Korea after the Korean War, which ended in 1953. Actually, it was a ceasefire that took place. And so they wanted the Korean government, wanted the top students to learn public policy, how to do government, and to rebuild Korea. And so there were around 200 students in Washington, D .C., but they wanted a Baptist pastor. There was a Presbyterian church, there was a Methodist, but not a Southern Baptist. And it was like my dad won the lotto. He applied and got the job because it was so hard to immigrate. I mean, it's hard now, but back in 1958 to immigrate to the United States, it was almost impossible because the U .S. government realized there was no Korean Southern Baptist church. So you were born here? No, here's the problem. We had a visa problem. So my sister, my mother, and I, we were separated from my dad for three years. And so finally, after three years, during my formative year or so, almost when I was five, then we got the visa to come to the United States. And so, to say the least, when I saw my dad, I couldn't recognize him because, you know, I was just two years old when he left. People have no idea what others go through. I mean, when you describe that and how many people want to come to America. But I mean, the idea that your father is a Southern Baptist preacher in America. Well, he passed away, but he was a pioneer. No, no, I mean, but in those days that he's from Korea. Right. And so you were raised in the faith, in the Christian faith. Well, I was, but I rejected Christianity very early on because of two things, you know. There was no kids in my Sunday school. It was just students, college students. And so there was no families. There was no other kids my age. And then I went to an elementary school, Forest Grove Elementary School. And my sister and I were the only two people of color in an all -white elementary school. And now, if you go to that school, it's very, very diverse. But back in those days, it wasn't until the fifth grade I remember someone of color coming in. And so there were no other Asians, no African -Americans, no Hispanic. And so we stood out. And so I got in fights all the time because people were calling me chink, even though I'm not Chinese. That's a drug term for Chinese and Jap, even though I wasn't Japanese. You know, by the way, I have a little joke. I say you could tell the difference between a Chinese, Japanese, and a Korean. If you see a rich -looking Asian, they're Chinese. A smart -looking Asian, they're Japanese. But if you see a handsome -looking Asian, he's Korean. Ha! Ha! Take that. Yeah, so anyway, but I got in fights all the time. And I wanted to be so accepted. Plus, my parents were working day and night just to survive in America. And so as a result of that, my craving for acceptance and to be popular led me into the whole hippie drug culture of the late 60s and early 70s. I joke I may have been the first Korean hippie in North America because I never met anyone. I stopped cutting my hair for three and a half years. And my dad is freaking out. He doesn't know what's going on. And by the time I'm 15, I'm doing everything under the sun. Heavy drug user, cocaine, heroin, LSD. And then by the time I'm 17, I'm pushing drugs to support my habit. And so I was totally out of control. But one thing my parents did was pray for me. And I really want to encourage people not to stop praying no matter how bad it looks. Because the Bible says in Acts 16 31, believe on the Lord Jesus and you and your family will be saved. And so my parents prayed me into the Kingdom. And so I'm here by the grace of God. I got radically saved at a Deep Purple concert. So that gives you a little clue where I was at. Wait a minute. You got saved at a Deep Purple concert? Yeah, in May 1973. They were just touring with Smoke on the Water, a new song that came out in 1972. And they were touring in 1973. And it was at the Baltimore Civic Center. I made a concert, 15 ,000 tickets sold out in two hours. They were the number one band in America at that time. And during the intermission I had an encounter with God where the Lord spoke to me for the first time. I'm not talking about audibly in the small still voice. Because I was having this for two weeks, this visitation from the Lord Jesus. Without anyone witnessing to me. That's why I'm saying the power of... Now when you say that because people are listening and I'm really one of them. Like you're thinking, what do you mean by that? I mean here you are, you know, you're a teenager, right? Right. You are big time into drugs and you're selling drugs. You go to a Deep Purple concert. Now you say that for two weeks up to that, God had been somehow communicating with you or visiting you. What do you mean specifically? Okay, so two weeks before I'm at my friend Sal's. We're at a party. Just guys bonging on marijuana and smoking and drinking beer. Nothing heavy. It wasn't like we were tripping on acid or anything. But I was just bored because I was just doing that every day. It was just so monotonous. You know, day in, day out, just getting high. So I went to another room and I was into Zen Buddhism at that time. Just experimenting with Eastern religion. So I went to the room just to go through my chant and after saying the stupid chant, I was saying it incessantly for almost a year. And finally I just said, you know what, this is the stupidest thing I've ever done. I said that to myself. I got nothing out of it, Eric. And you just said, duh. Yeah, right. No, but this is how he said that. So I said God, I said this audibly by the way, no one was in the room. I said, God, I don't even know if you exist, but if you do exist, if my parents, what they told me is true, that there's a heaven and a hell. Well, I don't want to go to hell if there is a hell, but I don't know. So reveal yourself to me. So I was expecting him to show me if he does exist in the days ahead. But as soon as I prayed that right there in the party, the presence of God came all over me and I started to weep because I felt so much love and peace about me. Alone in the room. Alone in my room. And I was sobbing and I knew, I knew it was Jesus. I just knew because I just prayed if what my parents told me as a Christian pastor, if Jesus is the way, if there is a heaven and a hell. And so I thought I was having some kind of emotional breakdown, but it lasted for three days. Every day that presence came on me and I would just start weeping. And I said, what is going on? No one witnessed to me. Are you kidding? Now hold on because we're going to go to a break. Jay on is my guest. It's Miracle Monday. I love these kind of stories. We'll be right back with the rest of the story. And there's plenty more. It's the air from Texas show.

Is It Really All That Easy to Become a Woman?
"I'm not sure who the most prominent trends personality is in the United States. I suppose it would be this character Dylan Mulvaney who keeps showing up in ads and commercials for all kinds of causes. It seems like this guy almost single handedly sunk Bud Light Bud Light is trying to do all kinds of repentance now. They fired not only the VP of marketing, but her boss, both of them have been placed on, I don't know if it's temporary or permanent leave. They're reevaluating their brand strategy. They've issued a kind of more conservative ad with clydesdale horses. Whether this will save Bud Light, I don't know whether it's a little too late. But again, I look at social media today and I see there's still in Mulvaney putting on makeup all over his face and he's the Maybelline girl. What? So he's become the poster. Woman, so to speak, for makeup. And I'm thinking to myself, is it really all that easy to become a woman? My mind flashed back to a very interesting book that was published now a couple of decades ago. It was written by a woman who still teaching at Georgetown. She is a prominent cognitive psychologist and linguist. Her name is Deborah tannen, and her book written years ago was called you just don't understand, men and women in conversation. Now Deborah hadn't goes on to argue that there is a kind of different psychology between men and women. By the way, there was a later book along the same lines men are from Mars women are from Venus. The idea of being not the men and women live on different planets, but they have a different inner wiring. And Deborah tannen went on to use conversation as a kind of demonstration or exhibition of how differently men and women think. Her point was that when men and women have arguments and this is, by the way, kind of useful knowledge for spouses or boyfriends and girlfriends. She goes, men very often say you just don't understand. Whereas women say something a little different, you just don't care. And in the difference between you just want to understand, you just don't care, says Debra tan, there is a whole world of difference.

Yeah. Were you looking forward to? Yeah, it's like orient expressed without the body. I mean, you're looking for it and it just never comes up. And the weird thing I've never seen an indictment quite like this one. That is the key linchpin. That's how you get beyond the statute of limitations. I know a lot of judges that would have been not too pleased to receive an indictment like this. Would have said, you know, what the heck is this? I mean, what are you alleging?

When did you, I can't believe Fox thought you were going to do the show you ended up doing when they gave it to you. And now you're the ultimate culture warrior. What happened to you? And he said, you know, I grew up in Georgetown. My dad was a GOP operative. All my Friends were either kids of Republican or Democrat, elected officials or operatives. We had disagreements on issues, but nobody questioned each other's motives. I could see why people might think there should be more government in a certain area to solve a certain problem than what I believe would be the more efficient solution. But he said the last few years. And he said my wife is very evangelical. Casually religious or something is how he described it. And she's been telling me, hey, something's going wrong in this country. And the last few years we finally got to a point where we started doing things with gender immunization and other things where no one benefits from this. There's always all my political life, there have been political solutions I disagreed with vehemently, but I could see why they might honestly benefit somebody, nevertheless. We're doing stuff now. He said that I can't explain any other way. Other than this is just spiritual darkness because it doesn't benefit anybody. We're doing things that even in our I would put it this way, Eric.

And they were like, yeah, well, just in his office, he handles his own media. So just call he'll answer. He'll recognize his voice and then just he'll talk to you. I was like, so I'm just supposed to, he doesn't know who I am. He doesn't know, yeah, just call him. It'll be fine. I was like, okay. So is Jim Baháʼí, and just to randomly, it was just unusual experience the way that stuff typically works. And I remember him being accommodating. You know, and he was terrific. And then of course, Memphis beat Syracuse in the garden, and then Sarah used won the national championship that year. And that is the year that Jim baham was able to hold a trophy at the end of the whole thing. So he's gone, red Autry is now the head coach. And we'll move on after this. I've had multiple people ask me, do you think he's the right guy for the job? I think he's the right hire. I have no idea. If he'll do the job well, and I say that not specifically about red. It's just that with assisting coaches, first time head coaches, you never know. You never know. Sometimes never know. Your Arizona and you hire a first time head coach and Tommy Lloyd and it works beautifully. Your butler, you hire a first time head coach in Brad Stevens and it works beautifully. Other times you're Louisville. You hire a first time head coach in Kenny Payne. Doesn't go so well. You just do not know. So I do believe he's the right person to be hired in this moment under these circumstances. Whether or not it'll work, we'll see. Real quick. Georgetown Syracuse is having coaching changes in the same cycle kind of interesting. Texas and Texas tech, since we last talked, Mark Adams resigned, we'll see where that goes, but Paul mills and grant mccaskill and Paul mills in oral Roberts are going to the tournament grant mccaslin could be going to the tournament. They've got a big game later today. Those are a couple of names to keep an eye on. But that's a job that opened a job that opened just after two years. So that was notable Cal fired Mark Fox, which was inevitable. Stanford is retaining Jared Haas. This is the second straight year where there was the expectation that Haas would be fired. He has not. So he will get you 8. They have not yet made the NCAA what's the explanation there? Listen, I don't have a root for people to get fired. Everybody's got families and mortgages. So I'm never like I'm enraged that they kept this guy. I don't get like, yeah, whatever. I don't care about Stanford basketball. It's not my Alma mater. Wish it was my Alma mater. I wish it was my Alma mater. But it's not. I once wanted to go to school there. But so I have no emotion in it. But what? I am shocked that they're keeping him after yet another. And I say this as kindly as I can say. After another disappointing season. I talked to someone about a week and a half ago, they thought it was 99% that they were going to move on, talk to someone else about 9 o'clock on Thursday night and they're like, he might be safe. I'm like, he's safe. He might be safe and lo and behold, they lose to Arizona, another sub 500 season. Yeah, by all means, I mean, if you can keep doing it, Jared Haas, and we'll see how many players going to the portal. I don't know, but Mark Madsen is an alum who has done a great job at school. Nobody knows about at Utah valley. And you have the window right there. Take the easy win. Why is this the case? Honestly, Bernard Muir is among the nicest 80s I've ever talked to in my life. And I feel like his mental disposition is part of this. I don't know, Stanford's also not the job now that it was two decades ago. But why? Why isn't it? And IL situation is not great and the transfer portal and getting guys in. It's just not as in theoretically. Now Haas has actually been able to recruit NBA picks. Yes. Like three of them in the past 5, 6 years. So you've actually gotten talent there, but I don't know. Sometimes I think, and I don't mean you, but I think sometimes people look at a program that's struggling and they say, well, it's not what it used to be. Well, does that mean it couldn't be? Because they gave you hired the right guy, could it be? Stanford was a consistently awesome men's basketball program for a long period of time under Mike Montgomery. The idea that they would go this long without making an NCAA tournament when he basically made it every single year. Yes, I know different era, all that stuff. I got you. But man, you're not going to convince me that somebody can't win at Syracuse. You take all those things you think are disadvantages and you turn them into advantages. I hear you at Stanford was bad forever before Montgomery as well, so there's that to consider, I do want to get to games. I do want to, I see people in the comments, like, it's hard to get players there. They got players. They've got players. The thing with Jared Hess is not that well, he hasn't been able to get players. They've had projected first round picks in this program under Jared. And it just has really never never clicked. Yeah. Last thing on the carousel front before we talk some hoop, 'cause I don't like my hours and days are blending together. I don't think we have podcasted on this podcast. I think we talked about it on the show. And to anyone that watched both our CVS Sports Network shows, we appreciate it. And GP and I and the studio yesterday together. That was a lot of fun. I don't think we talked about it on this podcast though. The beard candidacy at old miss, we will see he is a leading candidate, but I'll reiterate what I said on our CBS Sports Network show. And what I've said like two times, I guess on headquarters, I've just been told that he's a viable leading candidate, but there are significant hurdles that frankly, at this point, might have been cleared, but from a legal standpoint, like they old miss is going to do every single thing as it should. I mean, if you're going to make this higher, if it happens, and it could happen, it could happen today or it might not happen period. Like I was told they could reach a point where they keep getting the football down the field, but then they hit the 5 yard line and then something or something says some realizes something they're drafting the contract and someone in a position of power says, you know what? Here's why and we're not going to do it. I'm told they're still looking at the other guys. But beard is in the mix at old miss and he is considered at last check the leading candidate, and if that's going to get done, my understanding is going to be the guy, I

Why do we have to force companies to sell this product to manufacture and this product They're a bunch of explanations. No one explanations is financing costs.

Who's writing a dissertation about exactly that point and finding that. That isn't the explanation for the puzzle. What what's sager my colleague at georgetown and i find in this paper is that we look at the claim for automobiles about the extra expenditure on the upfront. Cost of the car would more than justify the future savings and we point out that that depends on how much you're gonna drive so if you're planning on driving every day a long distance to work at buying a fuel-efficient vehicle would clearly pay for itself. Because cost savings of that gasoline not consumed would be high. But if you're the kind of person who likes to work most days as i do and a and doesn't live very far from work and and the car sits in the driveway. Most of the time buying fuel-efficient car doesn't make any economic sense on personal for personal finance reasons and so we look at the customers.

Makers the ceo of the company and that's true with the federal government level as well the trump administration wanted to roll back the fuel economy standards that were set by the obama administration and so they went to the epa and the department of transportation. They said in order to rollback regulations. You have to do the same serious analysis as was done to to enact the regulation in the first place and so the analyst did the regulation the analysts it was the same analyst who had done analysis to put the regulation forward in the first place that had net benefits that were positive and so undoing. The regulation would reduce those would have net costs. And in fact that's what the department of transportation's regulatory impact analysis showed it showed. This will be net harmful to american cars consumers and yet the olympic passed it and president trump signed it and it was Finalized as regulation now this week in the news. It's come under scrutiny. Because some of the epa analysts Work were complained about the process and left out of the loop on that process but they announced this was done. It showed net costs. It went to the ceo which was in this case. The president and the president signed it anyway. I sometimes think the solutions office better has even if even if I don't have all your analysis. I would say you know. Some sort of a consumption tax on gas or some sort of carbon carbon emission tax would be the simplest hicham. Brian's they'd easily understood is likely to be the the dogma policy. But it's not that simple is it. it's simple economically. it's just not simple. Politically intersts symbol politically. Yeah so we have to some figuring out a way to do you think. Are you optimistic. That i mean from an economics perspective because bissett's in the of the of the best understanding.

"Mike yesterday. Professor rx levinson. Who is professor of economics at georgetown university. He's known for his defeat of energy conomic and glad middle economics. Welcome thank you nice to be here. Thanks for doing this. I wanted to start with one of your earlier. Peoples in two thousand one the simple analytics of the end blind mental kushner's curve in which you say evidence suggests that some pollutants photo an inwards u-shaped pattern ltd two countries incomes edition. Should that has been called an environmental kusners curve. So this this idea eric. I know much about this. Obviously so the. The low income countries have consumption and cans low put pollutants level in high income countries white consumption but the technology to take care of that. So the clarity sort of stuck in the middle who is creating the pollution is is that true. I think that You kept you you. You captured it. Pretty well The idea goes back to the early. Nineteen nineties when Some researchers at the world bank noticed this pattern that in the early nineteen nineties data was first starting to come in at about pollution levels all over the world and researchers the world bec noticed. The poor countries don't have much economic activity and so they don't have much industry don't have many cars since they don't have much pollution. The middle income countries are the ones that were industrializing and getting worse and worse. Pollution and the richest countries in the world like the united states and japan and northern europe didn't have much air pollution and clean water and that was a On one level that was a a revelation because before that there was a sentiment among a lot of analysts that economic growth and environmental degradation went hand in hand. And so if we're gonna solve the environmental problem we would have to slow economic growth. Yes this documentation of this patterns showed that at least on the surface. That wasn't true. But as you intimated in your introduction this could be for a lot of reasons it could be that poor countries make a mistake and they have bad policies and then they they fix it. Your you know some conservatives pointed to this pattern and said oh this is evidence that that clean up automatic and all we have to do is get rich. And then the environmental take care of itself.

I know what you would call it. And the innkeeper's like serve that lil a you know. He calls his hat something. It was terrible. But i had to laugh it. No my sometimes you got to laugh at it was anyway and so you know joel's characterists way doesn't treat him as an unequal. They are equals. They are together catching slaves. Okay this located. Don't if you see him coming to your slave run okay. How did they tracked them. Is it possible. And they wanna know bridge way. Wants to know. What is this underground railroad world. I'm hearing about where is it. How do you get to it. What is going on. No one can seem to tell them. Here's what say as a review if you've been to do a slave story let's think of the successful ones even underground first season. You said ref. Let's think about twelve years a slave. You know if the out roots. When i pulled out in the thing is it is not slavery that were watching concerned about it. Is the people the characters were slaves berry care about. In routes we see him in africa. He's free then down. Next twelve years slate these free north they come and get them smaller the man down at the south and they're fighting for their freedom and underground we see this relationship mob. Dr sun is there. The mass says involved all of that before they run. Watch him underground railroad. It was just to me okay. these are some slaves. That's how it felt. These are some slaves and they're dealing with certain parts of history. And i know this history. I don't need to see. So what's the hook. I couldn't find him cutting. Find now some of the diction here. Now you know refugee normally one of those him know they say and all live. I'm sorry to so wonderful acting half of what she was saying. I didn't know what it was now sees a south african actress doing southern it. It is southern but you still have to enunciate. i'd i would have to have subtitles for some of that. i'm sorry anyway. Barry jenkins directed every episode. Everything is beautiful. it's very jacobs. Yes it looks beautiful. They start with the scene that might fall into the style of what is happening. The the whole color is a kinda like sanded down and like this warm kind of sunlight coming in like a beautifully done. Yes but is it worth it. The world needs to be more clear. I ain't readable. It's like it's like if you read the book you probably get it. Kennedy's people okay. I was waiting for to take off. I wanted it to soar. Didn't now we go to some recent entries. The good lord bird bright. Don't showtime yeah. I would say this is a little more intriguing. But what i was really thinking about is the handmaid's tale. Oh interesting interesting okay. Similar level of execution overall where the handmaid's tale though like the first season was good. Then you keep watching vacant. Can we move forward. That's how i felt you can be like booth. Why am i doing in all of this torture already seven. I'd say about twelve years a slave. That was clear. We all rooting for chula. That is just so. That's what i'd say about the underground railroad. If you've read the book i would say check it out just so you can see berry jenkins vision of that if you haven't if you're in the mood it's right there on prime video. Yeah it's right there free for you if you are a prime member now. Let's move on to the movies. Georgetown you saw this back. When i took knows this guy's georgetown you saw this in twenty nineteen at the tribeca film festival and finally getting its theatrical release along with availability on digital and on demand on the fourteenth. It's available on theaters. And then after that a couple of days you could fish around and find it digitally if you want to explore that avenue now this is christopher walz crisper waltz direct dating this out christopher when you think of him you think. Oh he's an actor right like us. I don't is he a director. Well we have talked about recently. I'm show a lot of actors. Moving into directing Is he a blender interesting question. Well you know he is an artiste at. I love his interviews because people are like. Oh how'd you get into the character. And he was like a. That's my work. I'm not talking to you about how i got into anything. Watch my work. Yes so he definitely is of an artist shall we say But you know not only. Is he directed. He's also starring and of course you're going to make that happen but his written by david auburn And the cast alone is just worth giving it a shot. Vanessa redgrave redgrave annette. Benning corey hawkins. Who's been doing some lovely lovely work Along with a lot of other actors and actresses that you will recognize Some of them being you know. Americans are just from across the pond and honestly the reviews. Aren't that great So what you got to say. Bravo now look at the beginning of georgetown. We're told that while this film cannot claim. To tell the truth it is based on actual events and there were introduced. Oldrich motte playback kristoff and he's a man who's he stressed in some sort of military uniform. He's overseeing some sort of military exercise. Why i mean what does that. Then we see all rich at a dinner party in an expensive home in dc each georgetown neighborhood and he's servants some very important guests who worked for the government in several capacities. So you think minute. See some sort of waiter what is going on. Well no no because these are talking about him as he serves them and they each state howard portent he is as a man with various connections counts but.

So i learned to start the bone of the papers From two thousand eight It's entitled this religion matter it corporate decision making america. You see the excitement of corporate culture. Influences firms behaviors most specifically have religiosity in films environment effects. Its investment decisions and you focus on the us here demeaning economic environments. So could find at the speaker right. So part of my research is Behaviorally nature right. So so that's one example of that stream off of research that i'm engaged in So this is called through with Y hoy and so we were curious to see if the government in which a firm is operating is affecting its operation and more specifically if like the type of people you're interacting with will affect the corporate culture of the firm and so What we did in that paper is that We got some data on how religious ah given county in the. Us is right so how many people would go to a place of worship out since it's the us it's typically a church Bloody could be. It could be any type of Mesa where like mosque laura or a synagogue or any other place of worship Then we look at what the literature in psychology telling us about the link between Religiously t in and risk aversion and we found civil a papers that focused on experimental evidence suggesting that There is a positive link between the two like religious t and risk aversion Often correlated. And so what we did in the paper is ted weather That extent to communities. And we find indeed that that's when a firm is located in place in county Were a lot of people are agreeing to replace worship then That firm is Much more risk averse doesn't invest as much The cash was less volatile and so forth.

"You're in is stressful time. So be kind to yourself and take care. I recently wrote in forbes about how kamala harris may be able to heal the wounds between black women and white women but i defer to our terrific yesterday on these issues. I'd like you to meet dr. Marcia chatelaine a provost distinguished associate professor of history and african american studies at georgetown university here in washington dc. She's a scholar of american life and culture previously. She was an assistant professor of honors in african american studies at the university of oklahoma in norman. She earned her. Phd at brown university and her undergraduate studies at the university of missouri columbia in journalism and religious studies fellow aspiring journalists. They go. Marsha was a terrific expert featured in the recent pbs series. The vote on how women fought for and won the right to vote over an eighty year struggle or more welcomed green connections radio. Marcia thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. Oh you're welcome. You're welcome so our start in the heart of this issue. As i said in my introduction i've understood the black and white women had a kind of love hate relationship if you will during the suffrage battles as i understand it. Black women wanted white women to include abolition in their struggle. But the white women leaders believe the combining the two would keep the legislation from. What is your take on it. Tell us the truth. Because you're the historian so the issue at hand between abolition and suffrage are deeply tied. And that's because a number of figures in the suffrage movement were first activists in the fight against slavery and i think the poignancy of the battle for women's suffrage was the fact that many of the white women who were at the lead of the suffrage movement were anti-slavery and they had supported. Abolitionist may have believed that there was a moral reason to end the system of slavery but when it came to suffrage they were divided over the issue of universal suffrage Some do not believe that black women white men should equally have the vote. Some did not believe that black men and black women should have the vote. So i think that the suffrage movement really exposes the limitations of racial solidarity even among people who were on the right side of history one issue were not able to transfer that sense of grace to the issue of suffrage. And that's where you see the fault lines. In the suffrage movement really emerged from it was the fact that they did not want include african american women visibly or prominently or ideologically in their fight for the right to vote because they believed that it would degrade the quality of the vote of degrade the preciousness of the right and a number of these women again. Even though they were morally opposed to slavery they would not immune from white supremacist ideas. Okay so there's so much to unpack in there. You said something really interesting you said and i paraphrase of course but the the the divisions over the vote represented larger divisions in the racial schisms. If you will Racial solidarity behind the vote. Yes so one of the things that i think..

"You are and you'd have an anonymity of one in five. So that's what an annuity said it's so you'd have an anonymity set of one in five so you could be any one of five people and you can imagine that if you did aucoin join multiple times you could get a bigger anonymity said just great so that is essentially how you reestablish privacy using coin. It's not through any kind of hiding mechanism but more hiding in a crowd. Okay so that leads the complete privacy cycle of chain analysis using here sticks to track usage and then privacy advocates developing ways of breaking those here sticks or breaking the chain and reestablishing privacy and this is a continuous cycle chain analysis and privacy advocates are constantly developing new ways of making and breaking near six. It's like anything in law enforcement. As soon as the police catch on the noncompliant people find some other way of getting around. That's not to say that any of this illegal or wrong. It's just an arms race. So how does the tap root upgrade change bitcoin privacy so the tapper upgrades bitcoin in a couple ways. I it changes the cryptography behind bitcoin. So this is called schnorr. Schnorr is an alternative form of cryptography to ec. Bsa which is what. Bitcoin uses today. Both are still elliptic. Curve cryptography but schnorr has a few advantages. So i you can aggregate signatures you can aggregate public keys and you can achieve much faster verification and batch verification so if a node accepts a block with say a thousand transactions it can actually verify a thousand signatures all at once so great efficiency gain there. So it's easier to run a note. It's faster to verify blocks all of that. Tapper also enables amassed like protocol and we'll talk about what is a bit later but most importantly we signature public key aggregation. So here's what that looks like in practice say. Alison bob want to set up a multi signature wallet or address so they both want to contribute funds to a public key such that the funds in order to be spent need signatures from both parties. So this is a two of two multi sick. What they can do with schnorr is they can use their public keys and combine them to form a joint public. So if you see at the center we have public. Ab which is a public. Either represents both alice. And bob and that publicly needs a signature that is created by both at bob and the cool thing is alice and bob can both use their private keys to create separate signatures and combine those signatures into one signature to sign for one public. So we'll look at how that helps privacy so a legacy to of to multi sake which is the old version of doing things would have to addresses one for allison one for bob and two signatures on frau us one for bob. So total of four data points and everyone fully reveals their information so they reveal who created the setup and who signed the setup with tap root..

"On etcetera and there are a lot more of those kinds of technologies coming out soon. And then we'll discuss how you can break these things in the future so feature ways to reestablish piracy and that includes taboo which includes schnorr and masked most importantly so the lightning network. You may be familiar with it. It's a way of transacting offline. Bitcoin bitcoin off the blockchain. So you can have a transaction with someone else and only you and that other person know about bitcoin. And it's not recorded on the blockchain so that transaction is very private as an only the payee and the pair know that it occurred and no one else can track it so big privacy game and then the history of lightning transactions stored publicly anywhere. So as soon as you stop using lightning all those transactions are just kind of lost to the history so really high privacy other benefits of light in our include really cheap fees really fast transactions. So it's a pretty great innovation. It's not a quite ready. It's still being developed but already provides some great privacy benefits the second one the second best way to preserve your privacy is by using corn georgia world pool so this is a picture of a coin transaction on the left you see the green inputs so in zero in one and two and on the right you see outputs so bitcoin is put in in various amounts and then it's all mixed up and reassembled in various amounts on the output. And if you look at the outputs you'll see that they're all in equal amounts so it's almost impossible to tell which input leads to which output very difficult to you know. Get any information out of this graph. You know you can't see who sent what who. And this way all five of these outputs look identical. Even though the inputs belonged to five different people so great for privacy. And what point does is it establishes anonymity said so after this imagine you had one bitcoin and you put it in as one input and then you got one bitcoin out. If in this case there would be five outputs of one. Bitcoin and you'll be one of them so someone trying to track. You would have to guess which.
