At West Point, Vice President Harris to make history as first woman to deliver commencement speech
"Vice president Kamala Harris makes history as the first woman to deliver the West Point commencement speech. Harris told the U.S. Military academy class, they graduated into an increasingly unsettled world where long-standing principles are at risk global security. And global prosperity depend on the leadership of the United States of America. The vice president says America has no greater strategic asset than those wearing our uniform. There is no more noble work than a person can do than to serve our nation in uniform. Four decades ago, West Point graduated at first class of female cadets, still it's made slow progress, diversifying its ranks. Julie Walker, New York

Half of US public approves of Washington's arms deliveries to Ukraine in war's 2nd year
"A survey by the University of Chicago's Harris school of public policy and norc shows U.S. popular support for Washington's backing of Ukraine has faded a little but remains widespread. The polls suggest half of the people in the U.S. support The Pentagon's ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine for its defense against Russian forces that levels nearly unchanged in the past year, while about a quarter are opposed to sustaining the military lifeline that's now topped $37 billion. Big majorities among both Democrats and Republicans believe Russia's attack on Ukraine was unjustified according to the poll taken last month when it comes to specific kinds of U.S. backing for Ukraine, popular support for U.S. sanctions against Russia has experienced the most significant drop, falling 13% this spring, although still a majority.

Texas governor sent bill abolishing position of Harris County elections chief
"The Republican controlled Texas legislature has approved a bill that would abolish the position of elections administrator and Harris county, which includes Houston, only months before that city chooses a new mayor. The bill headed to Republican governor Greg Abbott would return elections oversight in Harris county to the tax assessor and county clerk. Both of which are elected offices currently held by Democrats. Harris county is a democratic stronghold, with more than 2 million voters. The proposed changes come after last year's elections in which local officials have acknowledged problems that included paper ballot shortages and delayed poll openings. Republican candidates have challenged losses in races across the county. However, there has been no evidence that the issues affected the outcomes. Those elections were run by the Harris county elections administrator. I'm Mike Hempen.

Texas Has 4200 Daily Illegal Border Crossings and Kamala Loves It
"Of close on the tough love here. Why is Texas putting up with this? Texas is the only border state with a Republican governor left in Republican legislature. I don't know how many are still crossing it. It's unclear. Is it a hundred? Is it 200? I'm just talking in Texas. We're at 4200 a day. We're at right now. 4200 a day. And Mallorca loves it. Kamala Harris loves it. She said everything's great. Kamala Harris says everything's fine. In fact, let's go cut to should everything in the last couple of days is going rather smoothly. Of course, Kamala Harris wants to transform the country. She hates you, hates native born Americans. She hates white people a lot. Play cut too. You know, I hear that everything in the last couple of days is going rather smoothly, given what the concerns were. And the bottom line, however, is that the issue of immigration falls squarely within the responsibility of the United States Congress. I mean, smoothly. Yeah, smoothly if you want the whole country to be taken over 4200 day, by the way, this is just warming up. We are about to just see the influx. The summer is going to dip a little bit because of the heat, and then the fall and the winter. Just people are going to start mobilizing. We might as well just have a super train highway.

Trump and DeSantis Dominate in Latest 2024 Election Poll
"Who's the chief pollster for Rasmussen, joins us now, Mark welcome to the program. Hi, good to be here again. It is definitely a lot of numbers. Yeah. That is so I have all these charts and graphs in front of me and why don't you just start with the most significant and we'll work our way through it. We did this poll and it was a sponsored poll so everybody can go to our website and download the stuff and look at for themselves. There's like 20, 25 questions here. Really dense, but the poll was done for one very specific reason. Our sponsor for this poll, Larry word from political media. Was really sick of the infighting that he sees on the conservative side, and he thinks that desantis is perceived to be very favorable among Republicans just as Donald Trump is. And that potentially together the both of them on the same ticket might be better in whole than in part. And so that was what we set out to prove. And I think we proved it pretty resoundingly. So we started by setting a benchmark of how would Trump do alone in a 2024 rematch against president Joe Biden. And Donald Trump beats him 48% to 41% in this poll, which is in line with what we saw about a month ago when we ran that same question. Then the next thing we did was we said if Florida governor Ron DeSantis was Donald Trump's running mate against Joe Biden, would you vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or to Santa's Trump? And now, Trump does better. So we have Trump and desantis beating Biden and Harris, 51% to 43%, which is a slightly larger lead 8% instead of 7%, but it gets the Trump ticket over the 50% hurdle, which is very important.

Larry Elder: Would 'Seriously' Consider Being Trump's VP Pick
"Anyway, text after text after text, ask Larry if he would be willing to be president Trump's vice presidential running mate. Well, a couple of things about that. Whoever the nominee is, it is incumbent upon us to rally behind him or her to make sure we don't get any more years of Harris Biden's that point. Point number two, in the unlikely event, Michael, don't be so negative. I'm not the nominee. And the nominee calls me and asked me to be vice president. I will answer the phone and I will give it serious consideration. Absolutely.

Larry Elder: 'I'm That Guy' to Push Policies As President
"I got to start with asking you about this daily caller headline. I don't know if you would take issue with the way they've characterized your message. Larry elder sees a path to The White House as the likeable alternative to Donald Trump, the inevitable question then is, does that mean you don't think Donald Trump is likeable? Well, regarding the headline, Michael is better than being called the black face of white supremacy. So I'll take it. I like to ask you, ask you or listeners to ask your viewers a simple question. Have you lost friends because of Donald Trump? Are you no longer talking to cobra because of Donald Trump? Yes. Are you no longer talking to relative because of Donald Trump? Well, that's the problem. This election is going to be won or lost with a couple of 100,000 people, so called swing voters in a handful of states and the problem with Donald Trump is there are Republicans are of two minds. There are those who love, love, love Donald Trump, and there are those who love, love, love what Donald Trump did as president love his policies. Loves America first policies. But feel for reasons that are sometimes and maybe I think mostly entirely unfair, there are people who would not vote for Donald Trump if he walked on water. They'd say he can not swim. And that is a reality. So the question is, if you feel that way, if you feel that for whatever reason, unfair or not, that a substantial percentage of the population will not vote for Donald Trump because he's Donald Trump. You want to go down swinging, you want to go down with the possibility of reelecting Joe Biden and him handing over the baton to Kamala Harris and her finishing out his term and then perhaps having two more full four year terms, that's the risk that you're running. So if you like Donald Trump's policies, if you're pro life, you want the board of secure. You love the Supreme Court Justices and then lower court justices. You support school choice. You don't believe in the spending. You want to roll back taxes and regulations. But you want somebody who's likeable enough to carry that message and win against November Harris in November 2024. I'm that guy.

Biden to huddle with top donors as 2024 effort kicks off
"President Biden and vice president Kamala Harris are laying the groundwork for their reelection campaign with donors. I'm Ben Thomas with the latest. The president and vice president were hosting about 150 of the Democratic Party's top donors for dinner Friday evening and a weekend strategy session, the event itself is not a fundraiser, and it's not clear how many attendees have cut checks at this point, but these are the high dollar donors and fundraisers who will tap their networks to help fund Biden's campaign over the next 18 months. It's expected to need to raise well over $1 billion. Some democratic governors who have proven to be prolific fundraisers, including Maryland's Wes Moore, Phil Murphy of New Jersey and Gavin Newsom of California are expected to be in attendance. The weekend summit marks the first official in person campaign event for Biden since he declared his candidacy. Ben Thomas, Washington

Kamala Harris's Scandalous Rise to Power Revealed!
"Kamala Harris is the dumbest woman on Planet Earth. What a disgrace. We all know how she got to her position of success and power. She did it not from an upward standing position. We know how she got it. Willie Brown told us, he was having an affair with her. And sexual favors, he put her in a higher position, and we all know that. Because she ain't qualified. She is one of the most ignorant, unqualified black women in America. And matter of fact, she ain't even black. Because when she entered the Senate, she was announced as the first Indian female to enter into the U.S. Senate. Go look it up for yourself. Her mama and them got red dots on their forehead. Ain't nobody there black. Nothing but Indian with the dot. And then all of a sudden, in the 2020 and the 2020 election she turned black. Y'all can't be that dumb. Not y'all that's listening because y'all are perfect y'all never did nothing wrong. Y'all going to heaven. Now y'all didn't have to meet the master. Y'all so perfect.

What Is Kamala Harris Talking About?
"Nobody knows what Kamala Harris is doing on a day to today basis. All she has to do before she go to a speech is you know what, read the speech that the person wrote for you, so you're well versed on it. So what is presented on the teleprompter, you can read it as if you're not reading a teleprompter. Listen to this cackling idiot clip one. So I think it's very important as you have heard from so many incredible leaders. For us at every moment in time and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist in our present. And to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past, but the future. So I think it's okay, breathe. This woman said, moment of time, 6 times in a 32nd speech. What are you talking about?

New Poll Shows Even Democrats Don't Want Joe Biden to Run
"Turning to President Biden, as he gets ready to declare his canon C for 2024, he's doing so in a really negative environment. One in which his own party no longer supports him. Just really stunning numbers to tell you about. These are from NBC News, a new poll showing that the majority of Democrats, they don't even want them to run. In fact, the majority of the country doesn't even really want him to run. Let me share with you the numbers. 53% of voters who supported Joe Biden in 2020 say they believe the president should not run in 2024. He's really failing with young people. Young people are like, wow. This is sad. You're like an old panda that's gonna get put down. This guy's a little too old for me. 76% of the people under the age of 35 that would vote for him say, they don't want him to run again. Meanwhile, there's this other poll by NBC News that shows in a head to head match up a Republican would fare better than Joe Biden. Look, if I'm the Democrats right now, I'd want to have a heart to heart with the guy. I'd want to say, who you got that you could sort of annoyed here and maybe help. He's not going to go for that. I mean, he is a political animal. And I also think in some ways that brings on a new set of problems for them because who else are they going to run them? And Kamala, that for sure. That would for sure give the Republicans the victory that they want in 2024 if they were to run Kamala Harris because her negatives are off the charts. Her inability to really showcase what she knows, if anything, is also off the charts.

10% Happier with Dan Harris
"harris" Discussed on 10% Happier with Dan Harris
"I've never really been able to arrive at an answer, but I guess what I'm hearing from you is you can actually come up with an answer that like, yes, X would be enough. I would be content at that level, you know, I would have everything I need. And I think that the reason why I've resisted getting there is because I have assumed that that would entail non trivial amount of resignation. I'm done as my friend Sam Harris, who you recently talked to on Sam's podcast as my friend Sam Harris has once said, I'll just sit here and eat ice cream in front of you forever. That's not part and parcel of enoughness. It's just the sweatiness and the striving can go down by a measurable amount. Am I hearing you correctly? Yeah, I think that's right. When people think of enough and they think of a number, let's say making this up, they say, once I have $5 million, that's enough, and I will quit and I will eat ice cream as Sam might say. That's dangerous. And that's never true. There are so few, if any people who can actually do that achieve their quote unquote number and then just quit and walk away. It almost never happens. To me, in this kind of sounds like a BS answer, but I think it's as close as you can get. Having enough is not a number, it's a mindset. And the mindset again is my expectations are growing slower than my income aspirations. Your expectations grow slower than your aspirations. That's really what it comes down to. So again, I want more money. I don't feel like I have enough today per se, because I don't think of it as a net worth or an income figure. It's just keeping your expectations low. And there are so much emphasis in the financial industry on growing your income, growing your net worth. It's all on the more money aspect. And there's also a complete ignorance on the controlling your expectations side of it. But that part of the equation is maybe the most important part if you actually want to use your wealth to live a better life. I'm not going to say a happier life, but just a better life. I had this friend growing up. He grew up in Malawi, Africa. Very, very poor part of the world. And he came from a relatively prosperous family in Malawi, but still food security was not always there. And there were times when there was not enough food. And then he immigrated to America. And he said to this day, he's over 50 years old now, but to this day, whenever he has a hot meal in front of him, three times a day now. He's like an astonishment. And he has a sense of, wow, because I think his expectations of life are so low given his upbringing, that even something like a cheeseburger today just gives him the sense of astonishment. I honestly envy that, that you can gain joy out of something so simple. And the reason he's done that is because his expectations are so much lower than his circumstances are today. I think that's an extreme example of what other people can strive for in life is, yes, I want to grow my income, but I want to spend as much effort keeping my expectations low so that I remain astonished with whatever income that I earn, no matter how high it grows. So what strategies have you seen that would help people manage their expectation? I think your savings rate is for most people is the gap between your ego and your income. And if you can suppress the ego of your desire to show people how much money you have and your desire to flaunt your peacock feathers and say, look at my car, look at my jewelry. Look how much. If you can suppress that, then that is suppressing your ego. And the gap between your ego and your income is what you save. And so that, to me, is one of the only ways that I've really gotten around this. I think the other is, and this is maybe less powerful, but for me, a deep appreciation for history and how most people today among the rest of the world live and historically how everyone else lived in the United States and other places. If you have a deep appreciation for history, you realize how astonishing this moment of time is and how good the huge majority of us live. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say the poorest 10% of Americans live a better life than the richest 10% of Americans did. I don't know what year that would be. Late 1800s, something like that. If I thought deeper, I might come up with a different year, but it's probably something like that. And that's astonishing. That to me is amazing. And that to me is falls in the category of keeping your expectations in check in a way that keeps you continuously amazed with your circumstances regardless of what they might be. What is the difference between wealthy and rich? This is something you talk about in your book. Can you explain that? And I write in the book that I made these definitions up. So if you want to, if you want to quibble with these definitions, I'm fine with that.

"harris" Discussed on NFL Live
"Last chance for the Steelers. Trying to get away. And his pass is broken up by Tatum. And he's over. Where'd it go? We grabbed him with 5 seconds to go and score. Ricochet out there off of Jack Tatum and into the man of the year Franco Harris has. When you talk about Christmas miracles, here's the miracle of all miracles. Steelers great Franco Harris died Wednesday at the age of 72. The Hall of Fame running back's death comes two days before the 50th anniversary of the immaculate reception that you just saw the iconic play that helped vault the Steelers into one of the NFL's elite franchises and three days before his number 32 was to be retired by the team. Harris won four super bowls with the Steelers. And this hit especially close to home in the Steelers facility where Mike Tomlin reflected on Harris legacy. This organization in this community, the football world, we lost a great one. And Frank O'Hara, and so obviously we're all heartbroken. But we do look forward to honoring him and his legacy this weekend and obviously where our attention needs to be is on the preparation required to put together the type of performance that's fitting of a great man like Franco. I'm gonna advocate of giving people their flowers while they're here and I meant what I said yesterday. You know, I just admire and love the man. And so must be learned from him in terms of how he conducted himself, how he embraced the responsibilities of being Franco. For still a nation for this community, you know, for the Penn State, followers, he embraced it all and did it with such grace and class and patience and time for people. I developed a friendship with him and every time I got to talk to him, he always had a smile on his face. And, you know, you could talk about the player he was on the field. And without him, you know, there is no dynasty. Because, you know, he kind of, you know, was a jumping jumping off point for that group. But then you talk about the men off the field. And to know that the standard was set with guys like him. Franco Harris ran for over 12,000 yards in his career. At the time of his retirement, following the 1984 season, he had the third most rushing yards by any player trailing only a pair of fellow Hall of Famers in Walter Payton and Jim Brown. Reaction poured in throughout the day from steelers grates and NFL legends. I remember Franco as just a wonderful individual. I mean, he was so special because he knew how to welcome you in. He was such a huge figure, but he knew how to just ingratiate himself with you to make you feel comfortable because you know you knew you were talking to a legend, but he was just, he was just so every day he was so kind, generous. I just remember him, my first year in Pittsburgh, and he decided to have lunch with me and I'm saying to myself, you know, who am I? I'm this young running back. And he befriended me and I was just in awe of him. And I actually told him that I was, I was not a still a fan growing up as a kid. And I actually hated him. And he laughed it off, and he said, well, now you gotta love me. And that's when our relationship really took off. He was a special man and I'll never forget him. Frankel for all the superstars, right? And you've met a ton. And we all have. Was about the most humble decent, kind, giving much more than this brute of a running back. He on offense, epitomize the Steelers on defense and the Steelers grip and really the Steelers city, the crunch time, one yard run, 15 yard run, immaculate reception, Franco was always there for the Steelers. Playing for that organization was somebody that, you know, you saw in the hallways every day for four years. With the championships and the accolades and the history and what he embodied as a player to that community and that city and his passing after the 50th anniversary of such a historic play. So there's a lot of people that make an impact in this game. Players and coaches and everybody alike. So I know that he was beloved in that organization and that fan base and certainly will be missed. Woke up this morning with the sad news of the passing of Franco. So many times people say Franco was a legend or a person was a legend. Now frankl is a legend and always will be more than just on the football field too. Such an unbelievable man. Friend. I'm so proud to be able to call him that. Today was a deep blow. Not only to myself personally, but I think to still a nation just because what he epitomized been a stiller's football player, but what he meant to the entire state of Pennsylvania and of course what he meant to the city of Pittsburgh. He's someone that I've idolized as a player, but more than that I idolize as a great human being. And he taught me so much about giving back to the community. And even when we were out, he would always get bombarded with autographs and stuff, but he was always gracious to everyone, took his time to take photos and really just get to shake everyone hand. So as I'm sitting back and watching them, that's who I thrive to be. That's who I want to be. I want to be like uncle Franco. Steelers president art Rooney, the second released a statement, saying, quote, it is difficult to find the appropriate words to describe Franco Harris's impact on the Pittsburgh Steelers, his teammates, and the city of Pittsburgh and steelers nation from his rookie season, which included the immaculate reception through the next 50 years, Franco brought joy to people on and off the field. He never stopped giving back in so many ways. He touched so many and he was loved by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Dana, and his son Doc.

And Dan, I know you were too young to actually watch him play, but his legacy did impact your love for the game. How so? Yeah, I mean, it hit that play the immaculate reception was like one of my first football memories as far as like what football was. You know, that play happened in December 23rd of 72. So shoot two days away from a 50 year anniversary of it, but I was born in 83. So I was ten years old, even after this play happened, but that play was in that grouping of plays for me that when I started to really fall in love with football, I was like, the immaculate reception, then it was the drive without way. It was Dwight Kirk's Dwight Clark's the catch. Doug flutie's Hail Mary, you know, it was like those plays that I remember when I started being a kid of falling in love with football was one of those plays that you just saw so many different times. He's obviously one of the more memorable moments and people that the NFL

"Direct way to tune into how we are made of earth wind fire and water. You know, that's another way to remind ourselves that we are not separate. And then also like as part of this, if I'm talking about some of the things that are in this teaching of mindfulness of the body, you mentioned mindfulness of the breath, that's often the doorway in, or that's maybe the most common doorway in. I would say, but I like to simplify mindfulness of the body as mindfulness of sensations, which you alluded to already where even when we're tuning into the breath, we're noticing if the body expands or contracts if it's hot or cold, et cetera, as it breathes. Then there's also like daily life or postures, just the postures we're in or positions, and so the Buddha taught that we could meditate, seated, standing, walking, or lying down. And even though meditate and air quotes, people can think of the formal practice, but if we loosen our idea of meditation into being just as mindful as we can as much as we can, well, we're in those four postures pretty much all the time. For people who exercise, like running is just really fast walking. And so you can be mindful of that instead of listening to music or whatnot. If you go to the gym and you squat, it's like you're almost seated. So that's one of the postures and then you go back to standing or it's just this really vibrant or alive practice or can be mindfulness of the body. Yes, a point, then a final question. The point is, we've been talking about a lot of the sort of profound implications of being out of your head and in your body that it can help you usefully deconstruct your emotions that it can show you that it's all nature and that you're not separate from the rest of the world. These can be hard to grasp. But at a very, very, very simple level. It can also just give you a break from the swirling stories, the chaos and cacophony of the mind. And don't discount that. So the final question for me is, well, the final question before I ask my two closing questions that I almost always ask. So the final question before those two is I know you wanted to talk a little bit about a caveat here for people who've experienced trauma and that for those folks, there may be some things to bear in mind when listening to the body. So I just want to give you an opportunity to talk about that. Yeah, we mentioned it a little bit already throughout this interview or this episode, but even though mindfulness of the body is the first foundation as we talked about earlier, it's not the only way in, it's not a necessary way in either. So for folks who have a hard time being in the body because of trauma or abuse or whatever the reason to not force ourselves to go there because that could actually be activating or triggering and on top of that, you know, we've been talking about just like, oh, there are messages from the body, listen in, there's a lot of wisdom. And all of that, it's like generally speaking, because folks who have had abuse or trauma in their past and it's somehow knowingly or unknowingly in their body still, it's hard to discern the messages just because we might have needed to dissociate from the body in different ways in order to survive or whatnot. And so it can be really hard to trust the body. And so in those cases, I think little by little and working with someone, whether it's a meditation mentor or a therapist, a somatic experiencing practitioner, something like that can help shift the relationship to the body. And you may not ever spend time practicing in this way, and that's okay too. You know, so I just don't want folks to think that, okay, I got to do those things book an appointment with my therapist, try out somatic experiencing and I mean, you can if you're curious about it, but it is not by any means and obligation. And this is the beauty of this practice. You can totally get all of the benefits this practice has to offer with any of the other foundations of mindfulness and so many other parts of this practice. Yeah, that's maybe the encouragement or disclaimer or however you want to word it. To not let this teaching of mindfulness of the body limit you or your access to this beautiful practice in any way. I'm glad you said that. So here are the two questions I often ask at the end of an interview. One is, is there something I should have asked, but didn't? I feel like the answer is yes. Because it's such a deep teaching, but what is that question? I don't know. So we know you fucked up Harris, but we don't know how. Exactly. Okay, so fair enough. Always happy to have my fallibility pointed out. Here's the second question, which is, can you please, for people who want to learn more from you, remind us, I know you've written a book. You've got digital assets you've put out into the world, resources. Can you please plug all of that? Okay, all of that. That will be a challenge. So I mean, easiest place my website, Don Mauricio dot com. The book can be found there as well, which is called mindfulness meditation for beginners.

"Overlap between self interest and other interests and I think it's a very often put out into the world and very often in my own mind set up as a false binary. But you referenced your community again and in terms of promoting long-term thinking about the welfare of future generations beyond your community. In other words, growing this community of long-term thinkers, again, I think there are some headwinds here. We're living at a moment, at least in my 51 years of I've never seen levels of kind of fear and pessimism around some massive and pernicious global trends de globalization, depopulation, climate change, artificial intelligence, bigotry, income, inequality, really big, difficult, megatrends. I think a temptation among many to look at the potentially grim future. And go right into a mode of resignation, passivity, apathy. So what do you say to folks who might be resonating with what I'm just finished describing? Yeah, so I think the way I differ from other people on this is not so much in my appraisal of the world. There is just an enormous amount of suffering in the world. There are lots of trends that are very scary. I think I would not be surprised at all if I saw World War in my lifetime. I would not be surprised at all if I lived to see it thousands of nuclear warheads launched. These are terrifying things. And I think the two things that give me this kind of at least vibe of optimism. I think a one is action orientation and the second is low standards. So action orientation is just, it's kind of like think about stoicism. And in your own life, no matter how bad things are, you don't dwell and how bad the situation is. Instead, what you should do is just think, what can I do to make it better? And that's the same question you ask, whether your life is amazing or whether it's terrible at the same time. And similarly in the world as it is today, the action relevant question is not how bad are things, how bad should we feel? Instead, it's what can we do to make it better? And that means focusing a lot on solutions, thinking about the ways that we can prevent the next pandemic, the ways that we are and can take action to mitigate climate change. Rather than just really focusing on the problem and beating ourselves up. And then the second thing is, yeah, low standards where I'm really just like, I don't know, with a bunch of monkeys, we've managed to build a society that's already kind of amazing. For almost all of human history, we were living in extreme poverty, where there was no anesthetic against toothache or any sort of pain. Life expectancy was less than 30. Societies were incredibly paid to the article almost always. Slave owning was almost universal until the 18th century 1703 quarters of the world were in some form of forced labor. A relative to that, I admit, it's a low standard. Okay, well actually we're doing okay. You know, people of it show than they ever have been throughout history. There was not a third World War. That is like a very lucky fact. Probably the listeners of this country are left living in the egalitarian liberal democratic countries. There are many good things about the world too. And what we want to do is encourage those positive things and act against the kind of negative ones. And I don't think it's accurate or helpful to only ever be thinking about the negative. And I think it's a shame that a lot of social activism tends to do that. You know, as you sell and I'm using that term not in the pejorative. But as you sell this idea of long-term, I can imagine some people thinking, well, why do I want to think about all the threats facing the planet? That's just not a fun headspace. And I have a media problem. So I'm listening to this podcast, Harris, because I want you to help me mitigate my stress now, not be dwelling on future generations and whatever stress they might theoretically have. So how do you push back against that kind of conscious or subconscious objection? So I think there's two things. So here's a way in which a long-term perspective can actually make your life better. And these are kind of thinking tools that I have adopted. One is just the comparison with people in the past. So, you know, if I'm having a bad day, then sometimes I really reflect that well, at least I'm born today into revenge county. I'm not born into 1700. Like I have painkillers if I have a headache or I have anesthetic if I'm undergoing surgery. I'm able to travel all around the world. That was not accessible to people until the 20th century. I don't have to spend my entire life engaging in kind of back breaking farming, which again was most of human history. Even on her bad days, I am having a very good day compared to I think most people in human history. So that kind of long-term perspective, I think, can be really assuring. And then a second thought is what motivates me. I mean, the things that kind of motivate me most were from a long-term perspective. I mean, one is this thought of just model teams that's happened in the past and seeing concern for future generations as continuous with model changes, other activists are fort form in the past. But then the second is just a thought of just how good the future could be if we play our cards today. I talk a bit about this in chapter one of the book, but when I look to the book as a whole, I actually it's funny that you talk about me as an optimist because I see the book that I wrote as kind of unduly focused on the negatives because it's talking all about the risks and the threats. And so I kind of put myself out there and I was a bit nervous about it. But I thought this little short story. It's kind of the last page of the book and the printed copy is just a QR code and you can scan that and you can access it. And it gives a depiction of just how good the future could be. Where if you look back again to 1700, the sort of lives that we have now, where you can travel anywhere around the world. You can connect with anyone in the world at a moment's notice. You can make fire that the flick of a switch, we work half as much as we used to, just 200 years ago. All of these things would have been unimaginable kind of 200 years ago. So we can think like, well, how good could things be in the future if we play our cards right? And I think they could just be really wonderful. A life consisting of your best days for all of those days, or maybe even better, maybe far better again, hundreds of times better. And so I often kind of just reflect on my very best experiences, the feelings of like spending time with my partner that are falling in love for being a beautiful nature. And I just think, wow, we can create a world where our grandkids grandkids, this is how good life is for them all the time. And I personally find that motivating kind of something to build towards. And I guess yeah, honestly, I find that more motivating day to day than worrying about nuclear war. May you be right about that. If I want to get better at long-term, which I think for many of us, if not all of us, it may not come naturally. What can I do? The first thing to do is just to learn a lot more where in some sense, long termism is common sense. The idea that future generations matter and we should care about that, just I think should come naturally to very many people. But what follows from that, what are the implications? In particular, what are the implications when we're trying to look for what sort of challenges are neglected of overlooked? So we're all very familiar with the challenge posed by climate change and the work being done on that. I mean, people are more familiar now with pandemics. They weren't as familiar when we were first kind of raising the alarm bell about this in the kind of mid 2010s. And they're also not familiar with how the risks could be much greater than the future again. In particular, advances in biotechnology enabling the possibility of engineered pandemics or kind of engineered bioweapons. People also just don't know just how fast and how rapid the development of artificial intelligence is at the moment too.

"Task being able to speak up if you have been socialized not to or on the other hand how to lift up the voices of people who might otherwise not contribute if you're in a position of power that allows you to do that. That requires both communication skills. I would imagine and understanding of power dynamics generally. Yes, exactly, right? There's so much for me so much of pleasure activism has been can I awaken my eyes to more perspectives than just my own, can I consider that some of the things I've been taught is how the world is and taken for granted might actually be wrong can I see ways that I might have caused harm or that some aspect of my existence might be causing harm and a lot of times we get stuck at the level of intention, right? Like why didn't intend to cause harm? I don't intend to be taking up all the resources. I didn't intend to take all the positions of power, but in my work I really focused on how do we move past intention to impact. And I always say, when I come into any group, any room, I always say, you can assume good intention, but we want to attend to impact. We want to really spend time paying attention to what actually happens and how it actually lands on people. Not to cultivate fragility, right? But to just be with what is. It's like, oh, the person who has the most power in the room, they might be enjoying what's happening very much because it was shaped for them. And how do we start to live in a world where we ask each other what shape would work for the majority of us? What architecture would work for the majority of us? What governance structures would allow the majority of us to actually participate and be in it with each other. And you suddenly end up with quite a different world. I'm going to take a risk and say what a series of thoughts that are coming up as I listen to you talk about this. It sounds like it's a lot of work. I'll say this as somebody who's generally had quite a bit of power earned mostly unearned and is used to sort of bulldozing along. And I can imagine I'm not alone in this. And so I'm kind of asking the question to be deliberately provocative for others who might hear what you're saying and say, like, how can you get anything done if you're so careful and considering all of these aspects of every single dynamic that might be at play when you're just trying to decide what's for lunch? Well, I will say this. I think it operates in the realm of trust to a certain degree. So when you're first learning to trust anything, yourself or someone else. At first, it's slow work, and it takes time because you're trying to shift your lens and shift your attention. So just like with anything, you know, with learning to ride a bike, there was a moment when it was hard. And you had to really pay a lot of attention in order to get it right and make sure that you weren't running into every fence that you passed by, same thing when you're learning to drive. There's a period where you have to like, okay, hands on the ten and two. You know, you have to really pay attention to every move. But then there's something that unfolds when you start to be like, oh, my norm, because I'm practicing, it started to just pay more attention to who I'm in relationship with, not assume that anyone is just there to serve me, but actually think about us all being in relationship with each other. And relationships are hard, especially at first until trust gets established. Once trust gets established, things start to move very quickly. So I tell folks that, like, when you're in a new relationship and you're trying to figure out, why did you make that decision? It doesn't make any sense to me. That's a phase of relationship and hopefully you move from that phase into the next phase where you're like, I knew you were going to make that decision. You make decisions like that and I trust you to make those decisions and before long, maybe you even have a shorthand or with the bike. You just jump on, you don't even think twice and you forget to put your helmet on. You jump in the car and it's almost like, yeah, I'm listening to a podcast at the same time because I can handle that because the driving is so innate. So I think with any skill set with anything that takes awareness at first, it's just a matter of time. You know, we put in the practice, we learn a new skill. And I think right now it would actually save people a lot of hard work and time that comes when things explode because these dynamics haven't been named or addressed or held responsibly. So people are getting called out, people are getting called in. People are getting fired. People are getting held accountable. There's all this stuff that's happening that isn't actually super necessary if folks would just sit down and say, okay, there's something I got to learn here. There's something in me that does need to shift here and how can I get in right relationship with that? Let me see if I can sum up the conversation thus far and you'll tell me if I'm in the realm of accuracy here. It sounds like you are defining that word in a broad capacious way, pleasure. And in this particular area of communications relationships, power dynamics, there may be some pretty hard work at the beginning, but if you do the work to create the trust, you'll ultimately get to a point where working together is a source of pleasure. Yeah, I mean, have you ever had that experience in a team? Oh yes, and I've had the opposite experience most of it my fault where the trust doesn't exist because somebody is being a jerk and in this case that's somebody's initials are Dan Harris. Well, and it's interesting, right?.

"Is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey gang, I've always been really intrigued by the Buddhist notion of the 8 worldly winds they include praise and blame success and failure joy and sorrow and most relevant for this conversation gain and loss. The idea is that if we learn to relate to these various two sided coins as being like the wind or part of nature, we can develop more equanimity Vis-à-vis life's inevitable ups and downs. Vexations and vicissitudes, the full catastrophe. Today we're going to talk specifically about the unstoppable flow of gain and loss. The upside and downside of impermanence and how to deal with this process more effectively. My guest is not actually a Dharma teacher, but instead a Pulitzer Prize winning writer who I've actually been a fan of for a very long time. She really is, in my opinion, one of the best writers drawing breath on the planet currently. So it was very cool to meet her. Catherine Schultz is a staff writer at The New Yorker who has a new book called lost and found a memoir, which is really about her processing a huge loss in her personal life, and then a huge gain, and then also musing in a very compelling way about how to live in a world where this happiness and pain inevitably commingle. In other words, how to live with contradiction. In this conversation, we talk about how humans experience grief, a gift that you can give to anybody who's grieving. Why she loves the cliches that remind us to enjoy the moment, even though they are cliches, her broad understanding of the term loss a category that a she points out can include both loved ones and your car keys, how the key word in lost and found is and why she says life is a perpetual and machine and we also talk about some of the insights she has gained from being in a long-term romantic relationship specifically what she has learned about compromise. Also, just to say this is the first episode of a true part of this week on the subject of loss. On Wednesday, we're going to talk to a scientist and practicing Buddhist who's been studying what grief does to your brain. And I should also say that the two parter this week is part of a four week series. We're doing on the show that we're calling the mental health reboot. It's the longest and most ambitious series we've ever done on the show. Each week on Monday, we bring you a series of brand new interviews with mental health memoirists who have personal stories on everything from sleep to shame to grief to trauma. And then on Wednesdays, we bring on a top notch scientist to help you contextualize the story you've just heard and to provide some evidence based advice. And the last thing before we get started, if you find yourself wanting to put hope to work in your own life, then make sure to check out our meditations from some of our finest teachers about how to cultivate hope.

"Harris. Kamala Harris steps into the middle of NATO standoff. Is what Politico says. Now, of course, after Kamala Harris was appointed the borders are and 2 million people illegally came into our country last year. Where Yuma Arizona saw 50 border crossings a day increased to a thousand border crossings a day. Kamala Harris, who was also in charge of stopping Jim Crow in the American south, whatever that means, in today's America, she has now been appointed, hey, Kamala Harris, can you make sure we don't get in a nuclear armed conflict with Russia? Thanks. Call me later. Kamala Harris is now scheduled to go to Poland and Romania. CNN says, is this finally Kamala Harris moment? This is quote, it's been a rough first year for vice president Kamala Harris, beset by staff departures and lingering questions about how good a fit she is for the job. Harris, I mean, let me just say, the reason why Harris is not good for Ed her job is because she was picked not because of her IQ or because of her qualifications. In some ways, you should feel sorry for Kamala Harris. She would pick she was picked simply simply because she's a woman of color. She's not qualified for the job. Kamala Harris is an affirmative action pick as vice president of the United States. She was picked not because anything she did or anything she's accomplished or any sort of fabulous insights that she has, her ability to process information or work late at night, Kamala Harris was picked because she was a woman of color. Biden said he was going to pick a woman of color and she is affirmative action in real time. Dare I say Kamala Harris being vice president of the United States is the CRT regime now orchestrating our foreign policy. So now nuclear conflicts are going to be determined based on vice presidents that were chosen based on immutable characteristics such as gender and sex, not based on whether or not they'll actually do a good job negotiating a stasis or peace. Sending Kamala Harris to Poland is living, breathing proof that the Biden regime knows how you feel and they simply do not care. You would only send Kamala Harris somewhere when you want that thing to be sabotaged, obliterated or to accelerate a planned demolition like what she did with the border. Just come on in. More people, the better. No one believes, including people in the Biden regime, Kamala Harris will fix anything. What they do believe is that she will dutifully execute the unraveling of our culture and our civilization. Here's Kamala Harris giving you a geography lesson just in case you forgot the actors involved in the looming nuclear war in Europe. Play cut 74. Lane is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country, Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that's wrong. Yeah, basically that's wrong. Don't worry, she still just getting caught up here, right? She's just going through the basics. That right there, her, the affirmative action pick, CRT gone wrong. She's now going to determine the future of NATO of our alliances in Eastern Europe. You would think that you would pick somebody that has some sort of experience with diplomacy and with the ability to be in pressure situations. What does Kamala Harris done exactly in her life that has warranted the ability to go negotiate what could be called as one of the most significant geopolitical events in Europe post World War II? What has she done? Can someone send me her accomplishments, her resume? What does she actually done in the last year to show that she can handle difficult situations? She handled the border. What, miserably? Well, no, actually, she handled the border exactly the way the regime wanted her to handle the border. She kept it wide open. She didn't close it. Now the question is, what does the regime want.

"I need a lot of practice. My mind very easy to get distracted and so I need more practice to counter them instead. And let me go through it from a different perspective. The question is simply in the situation which we are here right now. So let's take ten. It's got a family, children, workshop. That's the setting we have unless the city we want to work with. No one knows of thinking, well, if Dan had become a wrong living up in the Himalayas, who knows? Then Harris the way is, in that situation, what can you do? Is it possible for him once a year, take out a little bit of time for a retreat? Question mark. Really possible for him to make it a practice every day to meditate. I'm not saying how wrong I didn't say 5 minutes or one arm. Is it possible to make this a habit every day I'm going to be just like everything I eat and go to the bathroom where I was sitting on the cushion every day. And then you see, in the ancient union thinking, reflection and meditation are interwoven, they are not separate. We have this western bifurcation where we think like if somebody's reflecting that's not meditation. But actually that's not the case. Reflection is also for more mental. And so is it possible to make the topic of death and mortality, something that we weave into dance everyday life? For example, here in the corner of my room I have a skeleton. As a reminder, of course, you can't have a skillet in your office. People will go, hey, what's happening with this guy? But are there little things that we can build into your life? So that is a reminder of that. Just at the things they are thinking can we see? I mean, there will be some people with whom you can't really approach such a topic, but there will be others who will be open. Finding opportunities to speak about this. Somebody was just lost someone. Most people react out of fear of their own death and are therefore not able to be with that person. I think can you open your heart and just listen to their pain and be with them and children want to know the truth? When nobody's telling them, they will do things all true and you have to hide the fact of the children, they realize there's something murky, there's something unclear, something dishonest. Be honest with them. Let them know in a soft and gentle way. There are quite a number of ways how we can bring a topic once we have decided that I think death is mortality is really the best one to find. Happy with taking that up once Lin Harris has decided this thing an audio set about death and mortality on fold it up. I think that makes sense. Then there's different ways how we can play.

In this era that has been dubbed the info blitzkrieg. My guest today has spent years studying the impact of meditation on people who work in high stress professions. She's collaborated with the military, first responders, and elite athletes, and she has a new book out about how to in her words focus without all the struggle, take back your attention from the pull of distraction and function at your peak. Doctor amishi ja is a Professor of psychology at the university of Miami, the director of contemplative neuroscience for the mindfulness research and practice initiative and author of a new book called pikmin, find your focus, own your attention, invest 12 minutes a day. And this conversation we talk about what exactly is pique mine. She gives us the neuroscience of attention, one O one. We talk about the benefits of contemplative practices for high stress groups and what exactly it is about meditation that's helping these folks. We also talk about multitasking versus task switching, simulation mode versus mindful mode, and she finally gives an answer to a question I have gotten a million times, which is something to the effect of what is the least amount of meditation you can do and still derive the advertised benefits. Her answer does carry a few scientific caveats, but it's fascinating, nonetheless. Before we dive in with amishi one important order of business, I'm going to start this with a question. Have you ever finished meditating and then open up your email and gotten a message that made you lose your crap or snapped at your partner when they interrupted you while you were meditating? In those times you might be tempted to wonder, am I failing at this thing? This is something we hear from listeners quite frequently. Even for people who meditate regularly, it can be pretty tricky to apply the insights we have during meditation to our daily annoyances and quandaries. So my colleague, Matthew Hepburn, who is himself a meditation teacher, and who has been a driving force behind our meditation content on the 10% happier app, has now created an exclusive new podcast.

I don't need to just wait for another person to show me how I wanted to be treated. So, is there a restaurant I want to try out? Is there a movie? I want to see. Is there an exhibit that feels fun to me or a workout class? I want to try and I know that can feel odd and a pandemic, but you can also do all of those things online and so really, it's Honoring my time and creating space in my life for the relationship I want..

"Well now that you've told me a bit about what was behind the song. The video that you did in the black and white comic was a tv in the darkness coming over the tv. It all makes sense. I'll make sense a great video. Thank you that was done by a guy. No-name benjamin violet. Who's extremely talented in One thing i really like about whether it's hiring a graphic designer or a a musician i liked to give them just the tiniest bit of inspiration ideas like this is kind of where my brain is going and then let them completely wrong with that because the reason i hire them is because i like what they do and i i was shocked at how accurate that video was damning down to the point where i mean benjamin's never seen me in my underwear and my bra and like that's exactly what i look like totally blew blew my mind but i do know that benjamin is aligned with wanting wanting to create a bigger discussion about mental health in an in the united states in and he also deals with depression so he knows what it's like to be in that space which is another reason. I thought he was perfect for that video. So both albums are are are they about your personal struggles of addiction recovery mental health. I think so. I mean before me went into make red rescue. I played for eighteen years without ever putting out a record. And so before. I made that record. I got together with the producer cross and he was like just give me everything. And i've been playing really regularly with the band and we had you know a bunch of songs that made it that i sent him that. We've been playing regularly at a residency. We had but it was interesting. At the time. I remember going like I feel i feel weird that the song is that gonna be on the record and then it turns out he was right. His his perspective was right. I still think you know i. I love records that are intended to be listened to from beginning to end that. Tell a story. I know i live in a time. Now where it's definitely about the single Barrages not the way. I i wanna make records. That's what i like to consume. And that's the goal. And i think craig was able to see even more than i was the story that evolved out of these songs. Now just definitely great actually a lot of artists who've been doing a single route but an this is an honest comment last night. I was thinking the last three yards. That i spoke to know for us. And they're doing great things like you are. Are all going the album brute this year. Wow interesting maybe it's gonna come back ever know so you had a incredible view and immediately toured. What was it like all of a sudden being in the limelight. Like that touring with that. Does that trigger something. I mean it was incredibly exciting in a lot of ways because i grew up in a relatively small town in texas. And there's so much of the world in waco. Yeah there's so much of a word wacko owes right. I mean glacier. Shaver had this great. You know wacko from Wake that didn't have a k. in okay waco texas. It's all good. Yeah it's it's usually famous for a lot of very negative reasons. But there's a couple named chip and joanna who've come in and completely Kind of redone it and given it Some shine which is great. But yeah. I mean there's so much of the world i hadn't seen. I always had this feeling even when i was young that my relationship with music was going to open a portal that would allow me to see the world to meet people that i would never have met if it wasn't for music so all of a sudden i mean within your you know. My one of my major dreams was to be able to sing with emmylou harris that happened. You know i We hung out with carlene carter and she was fantastic. I got to sing a woody. Guthrie song with billy bragg. I mean all this crazy stuff happening. It was honestly just because i was there. I think it's woody. Allen says he you know ninety eight percent of life is just showing up so that you know seeing the world was exciting and i love being in a supportive role i love seeing harmonies and i got to do that every night with mary. What was scary for me was relearning or maybe for the first time learning how to build a set as an opening. Act when you walk in and pretty much. There's a lot of difference right. These people either don't know you're going to be there or they do know you're going to be there but they just wanna see the main act they came for it also depended on where we were in the world like in some countries. They felt like oh. This is great. You know. I get to discover a new artist and other countries. It was more like you're taking up the time that i should be listening to marry. And so there was kind of a resistance. That i had a breakthrough and for me banter is very difficult. And that's why. I love playing with the band because we kinda go from one song to the next coach you know. Let's all clap for the fiddle player. I mean something great. I create a lot of energy with the sound. I had to create a story with my speaking words in between the songs and that was so challenging for me and i felt that i was just struggling so much that i did end up in quite a serious depression in near breakdown. When we were in the netherlands and mary and michaela the violin viola player said. We'll just sing with you on stage. We'll figure out a song that we can play together and that way if the audience sees that we're supporting you maybe it'll help and it did. And that's why. I gave me a lot more confidence. Yeah that's the main background vocals is something you really love to do. It's my favorite thing to do. I prefer it to being a even really. Yeah i love being a supportive role in using my voice in ways that i would never put into my own writing or at least i have it so far and i i just love being part of a team i saw i saw on your website. You've done backgrounds for quite a few artists. Is it something that you're open to if an artist would contact your with an interest. Oh absolutely yeah. I mean right. Now i'm working on making my second full length record and so i you know. I'm obviously going to see where that takes me. But mary was asking me this the other day. She was like how you know. What is your ambition like. Like how come you if you got asked to sing with blah blah blah. Would you do that and it really depends on the music. It depends on the music and it depends on the person. Actually one of the things that catapulted me into quitting my day job was i got called by an artist named kevin russell. He was in the boards. Now he's in a great band called shiny risk which has as always had some some of the best vocalist As background singers. And you dance. It's a really fun. Gig and i love all those people and someone left the band and he asked me if i would be interested in being in the band but i couldn't because i had the day job and that was the catalyst the made me go. I knew i was going to have to say notice something that was going to inspire me to quit the job and that was at the invitation to be in that band and with figure out how to get out.

"Can you share your teacher. Johnny with us. I just wanna say what an ultimate honor it is to be here. I have loved your podcast. And i'm just so thrilled to be in conversation with you. So i was a newspaper reporter before i was a teacher. I was a reporter for the star ledger. Newspaper in newark new jersey It was a beat reporter. And i did a fair amount of reporting out of iran as well for an everyday life series but then i am feeling that i was unable to kind of make change. I felt like. I was just reporting what i what i was seeing as a witness and less of a change maker and so i did new york city teaching fellows and a moved into teaching that way i taught at a brooklyn school in the middle grades i was at a. Tc school so I had some great stuff development before moving to illinois where it was also classroom teacher literacy coach then. I became a literacy coach in lot of different schools. So now. I'm all over the city in catholic schools in chicago public schools in the south side and also in the affluent suburbs. So that is kind of an interesting wide variety of Student needs All kids need the same thing which is to be like centered. Seen heard definitely do you. Do you see any of the skills that you had attained from your former career. Carry over our help you into the teaching feel. Oh my gosh. Every day. I thank i couldn't believe at the time that i was being paid to just tell people's stories and to just ask them questions and to just report kind of link there truths and i feel that that is what teaching is feel the social the social emotional piece of it more than i feel that education sometimes because I just really firmly believe that the kids are our curriculum.
