Getting to the Ray Epps Truth With Darren Beattie
"Us now is Darren Beatty. Darren, you have a very important new piece, Revolver Dot News. Merrick Garland's sloppy Ray Epps plea deal is worse than you think. Darren, tell us about it. Well, as many of listeners might know by now, Ray Epps was indicted finally by the DOJ in what is maybe one of the most bungling and inept efforts to salvage the crumbling narrative surrounding Ray Epps and the Fed's erection more generally. This is over two and a half years after January 6th and the Fed's perfunctorily weekly slap him with a singular misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct. At this point, it's simply too little, too late, and people see it for the desperate attempt that it is. And so we have two brand new pieces on Revolver Dot News addressing this and analyzing it. The one at the very top that you mentioned sort of looks at the statement of offense. Basically, they gave Ray Epps a really sweet, guilty plea deal, and he's agreeing to having done a certain number of things that amount to this misdemeanor charge. So we go through the statement of offense and its description of his behavior on the 5th and the 6th, and we compare it to what we have documented on video of him doing, and we show what an absolute sham this statement of offense, this plea deal, actually is. And in this particular piece at Revolver Dot News, there's some very rare, some very amusing and all very damning footage of Ray Epps's involvement on the 5th and on the

A highlight from Were SBF's parents in on it? Follow the Money
"Welcome back, everyone. I am Cass Pianci, and I'm joined as usual by my partner in crime, not of the criminal sort, Bennett Tomlin. How are you today? I'm doing well. How are you, Cass? I'm doing good. It's been busy. It's been a very busy week for both of us. But today's episode is going to be about SPF's parents, the Bankmans and the Freeds, and their what appears to be increasingly important role that they each played in the criminal elements of FTX and Alameda Research. They called it a family business. They accepted incredibly large salaries. His father was getting a million dollars after requesting it because he was only getting 250 ,000 before. Mom pushed and tried to ensure that any money getting sent to the charity arm of the company had two steps of separation, two degrees of separation. And just really shady, weird stuff going on over there with the Bankmans and the Freeds. But those are kind of vague descriptions of what's going on. Bennett, why don't you walk us through some of the seriously criminal elements and what is happening? There is a decent amount of allegations contained in this lawsuit from the FTX debtors in possession against Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried that at a high level alleges that they were involved in specific aspects of the business and were closely connected to various alleged criminal acts and criminal acts people have pled guilty to. Starting with Joseph Bankman, he was involved with Alameda Research as early as 2018, which is when it was founded, and stayed involved throughout the entire time. The first several years, this appears to have been relatively informal. He directed FTX towards their first law firm, suggested their first accounting firm, was involved in consultations for hiring of certain executives and things like that. But none of this was documented in any kind of formal way. Eventually, in January 2021, he decides that there should be some kind of piece of paper that describes his relationship with these entities. And so he creates a document that describes his work for Alameda Research and FTX and FTX US, saying he's doing a variety of pro bono legal work and consulting work for these entities. What's interesting, of course, is that he was the signatory for the FTX entities and for himself on this entity. Really has kind of vibes of that loan agreement between Bitfinex and Tether years ago, where JLVDV and Juan Carlo was signing for both entities. And so that was one moment that really struck me as I was going through that is that he felt the need to, after providing advice for several years, finally in 2021 documents it and says he's providing this pro bono legal advice. This did not stay pro bono for very long. Later in 2021, he would take a leave of absence from Stanford University. And after he took this leave of absence, he allegedly told an FTX US employee, I'm no longer getting paid by Stanford because I'm on leave, so you should have me on salary starting December 1st. In December 2021, this is when he finally entered into a formal employment agreement with FTX US, where his nominal title was Senior Advisor to the FTX Foundation. You said it was $250 ,000. It was actually $200 ,000 a year, plus bonuses he was supposed to be getting paid. And this is where we get to the fun part that you made an allusion to before. He went to FTX's head of administration after signing this employment agreement that clearly said $200 ,000, told this person that he was supposed to be getting $1 million a year starting in December, and then he sends an email over to Sam Bankmanfried, his son, that says, and I quote, Gee, Sam, I don't know what to say here. This is the first I've heard of the $200 ,000 a year salary putting Barbara on this, meaning he cc'd in Sam Bankmanfried's mother and his domestic partner to help him deal with this contract negotiations that happened after he signed that contract. And it worked. It worked. Within two weeks, Bankman and Fried were gifted $10 million in funds originating from Alameda. Within three months, they ended up getting their $16 million mansion in the Bahamas funded entirely by FTX. And over the period after they got that mansion, they were able to expense something like $90 ,000 in various other expenses. And before he signed that contract agreement in December 2021, I do want to make clear he was also provided with an option to purchase shares of FTX US and FTX trading in November 2021. Before he was even employed with FTX, he was getting large options of shares. So yeah, I think that kind of is a good initial overview and we can get into some of the details he was also involved in, but they were receiving a lot of this type of monetary compensation. Yeah, well, I want to specifically bring up here some things that really made a red flag go off for me were, for instance, how they were keen to keep the residencies, the properties that they were acquiring with these gifted funds and all this money that they were essentially taking from customers, to be clear on that, that they wanted to ensure that that money in those properties would be shielded from a bankruptcy. And I'm just wondering, like, why, if they're so confident in this business, if they're so confident in their son, if they're so sure this is the future of finance, and I get it, you want to shield your personal property from a bankruptcy, but you just got gifted $10 million. You have to know this isn't exactly personal property, right? Like, you have to know your son is giving this to you. Your son is making money from the company. How is he making all of this money? You haven't really nailed that down yet. And you still are just letting this all transpire. Nobody was asking any questions is kind of what I'm getting to. But the questions they were asking were about, like, ensuring that they were shielded from any problems in the future. Yeah. And we should clarify the timeline a little bit here. There's a 2021 email exchange where FTX's general counsel wants to set up a meeting with their law firm to discuss how assets, including primary residence, can be structured to be bankruptcy remote. And Bankman quickly kind of responds in this email chain the next day and says it would be great, all else equal, if we could have the founders put money into property in the Bahamas and sent them a link to a description of an offshore trust structure in the Bahamas. He then discusses this with a lawyer in the Bahamas, another Stanford law professor, and his brother -in -law, and then ends up saying something we might use when we buy property in the Bahamas. And the reason I'm belaboring this point is because it happens, I think, about a year before they actually end up getting the house. And then, five months before they get the house, there's another thing that happens, and that's that they apply for residency in the Bahamas, permanent residency in the Bahamas. In order for them to get that, there's a $15 ,000 fee. That's also paid by FTX. And so I think what that kind of shows is this kind of series of planning that went into them eventually getting this mansion. They started discussing how to structure this about a year before, and I don't think they ended up using those trusts, at least not at the time of bankruptcy. They had already gotten their residency months before they got the property, and then they got the property. They wanted to benefit from this. There's no doubt about that. I mean, there is no doubt. I just want to be clear, and we're going to link to the very thorough protest article that goes over all of this, but it is very obvious. I think before we get to the crux of this, I first want to delve into this a little bit more. So Stanford yesterday decided that they were going to return all of the donated funds from this family, which amounted to $5 .5 million, which is a lot. I mean, I know that they get a shit, a metric shit ton of cash every year, but the idea that they're getting $5 .5 million in a single year from one family, one company, you know, essentially one family. That's how you get your name on a building and stuff like that. So they were donating a ton of money to this educational institution. All I want to say is that I think Stanford is disgusting. I think we see this in a bunch of these higher education, these private institutions, probably equally common in great public universities as well, but the ones that we hear about are like MIT or Harvard or Stanford accepting money from Jeffrey Epstein or accepting money from these guys, and then, oh, okay, you're returning it. Great. Well, you know why you're returning it? Because you got caught. That's why you're returning it. You're not returning it because you thought it was the right thing to do. Now that it's all coming out in these court documents, Stanford's giving the money back. They didn't do it one minute before that happened, though. Isn't that interesting? And I, you know, I think you should get into kind of the details of those donations, which there were many over this period, but like, oh, what a nasty, nasty way for a university to operate. I think the elite private colleges are at a special risk for kind of this because so much of their, like, existing structure is based around taking in cash and converting it to some vague elite authority. Speaking specifically about the donations from FTX to Stanford that appear to have been directed by Joseph Bankman, there was one that came from Paperbird directly to Stanford University. And this one was interesting because there was a lot of discussion about which entity to use. And what Bankman ends up saying is that he thought it should come from Paperbird, which was one of the entities that Sam Bankman -Fried owned that held most of the stock for FTX that investors were buying into. The corporate structure of FTX is a mind fuck. But this shows Bankman was aware of parts of the mind fuck. He says Paperbird can use the deduction. And when he discusses alternatives, he says we can have another entity loan Paperbird money, but that requires some paperwork. Eventually they get it all sorted out. FTX transfers money to Paperbird into a newly set up bank account, which immediately sends that money on to Stanford. There was another four million dollar donation to a Stanford fund for pandemic preparedness that he described as pretty much a no brainer. Bitcoin were transferred from Alameda Research's FTX account eventually. There was another series of donations where it was proposed that they give 1 .5 million from the FTX Foundation to Stanford College. However, the initial 500 ,000 for this came from an Alameda Research bank account, and the second 500 ,000 came from an FTX US bank account. There was another donation they did for a Stanford blockchain conference so they could sponsor it. That one was only 10k. But again, it kind of points towards how Bankman saw these entities as interchangeable. He said 10k is so little it doesn't really matter. So if we think that having FTX US is easier or safer for some reason, we should just do that. And what's most interesting is you talked about your name on a building. And there was a Stanford University employee who provided comment as part of this lawsuit. And this Stanford University employee apparently says that internally in Stanford, these donations were categorized as directed by the Bankman -Frieds. And like when they specifically got the big $4 million pandemic preparedness donation from Alameda, this person even reached out, should this one be categorized like the rest as from you all? Or is this one somehow different? And so yeah, I think that those donations kind of point towards how they were specifically using these commingled customer and client funds from across all these different entities in this self -promotional activity of giving these donations. Yep, there's more to where this money went, how much was spent, why they were in control of this. But I think the question that everybody wants to ask and is wondering about is how are they not being criminally charged with anything yet? And will they? I think we should hold off on that question for just a moment, because I want to talk about how Joseph Bankman also made sure other people he was related to and friends with got paid while he was in this position, because I think that's kind of fun. They talk about one example where he got a Stanford law student a free trip to the French Grand Prix tickets to the race so they could go and visit that. But I think the more interesting one was a hackathon that they had planned that was run by his sister. Bankman freed Sam's aunt. They hired her at a rate of $14 ,000 a month to prepare the FTX million -dollar hackathon and crypto summit held at the Miami Heat Arena, which was the one they put their name on briefly. They spent a total of $2 .3 million on this event, which was attended by 1 ,200 people. They were spending crazy amounts. They said she was authorized to spend like without a budget, whatever it was needed to get this event done. There was so much of this kind of like self -enrichment here that we'll get to your question as to how are they not being criminally charged. That's just grift. Yeah, obviously. The other person we need to talk about, of course, is Barbara. Barbara Freed, Sam Bankman Freed's mother. In her specific role, she, as you alluded to at the very beginning of this episode, described herself as her son's partner in crime of the non -criminal sort. And Sam made sure to sing her praises to his team, making known to her that he intended to rely on her direction regarding who to give to, how much to give to, and how it should be disclosed and told them that it would be good for them to follow her advice as well. And what seems really interesting is she seemed to have a great deal of control. The lawsuit even alleges she was able to unilaterally commit funds of Sam Bankman Freed's to her political action committee, Mind the Gap, meaning without Sam's authorization, she was able to take Sam's money donated in Sam's name to her political action committee, which is a great deal of trust. And even inside her own committee, when she had to talk about some of these donations, she would say things like, I don't know exactly what interconnected entity he sent the money from, but the business is real and revenue -generating, which again, I think, points towards kind of the interchangeability of these entities for these folks. What I think really gets interesting is Nishad Singh, who has already pled guilty for conspiracy to defraud the federal election committee, as well as a variety of other conspiracy charges. He was one of the people who appears to have served as effectively a straw -man donor for Sam Bankman Freed, and was advised in this process by Barbara Freed, Sam's mother. At one point when they were discussing donations to her organization Mind the Gap, and she suggested that, now that my connection to Sam is publicly known, because we don't want to create the impression that funding MTG is a family affair, as opposed to a collective effort by many people, including some mystery guy Nishad Singh, which is when she was suggesting that on their end, they would prefer if his name was the one that was donating to Mind the Gap instead of Sam Bankman Freed's. And similarly, she was worried about a lot of their political donations. There's a really telling one, where she's warning him in an email, And again, later, just the last one to really put kind of a cherry on top of her seeming knowledge of some of the criminal acts that Nishad Singh has pled guilty to. She said, And I think this, as well as some of the more specific tax advice that Bankman Freed was giving on FTX their specific finances and stuff like that, point towards potential knowledge of criminal acts. I tweeted out shortly after I read through this lawsuit, or as I was about halfway through reading this lawsuit, if I'm being honest, And as you alluded to previously, that is kind of what this feels like. It feels like these two law professors, who should have known better, had high -level knowledge of things that people have already pled guilty to, and were deeply involved in the business. Bankman specifically was even mentioned on an internal document as a member of the management of FTXUS, along with only a few other names. They had knowledge, they were inside the organization, and they had some amount of presence. One last thing that I think really hammers that home. When we went to consensus, and we talked about this in our episode that we did after that, Anthony Scaramucci was talking about his experiences in the lead -up to and aftermath of the FTX collapse. And one thing he said that seemed to be corroborated in the lawsuit is that Bankman was involved in them attempting to get the emergency funding. And as we said, and we shared the audio clip of Scaramucci saying it, Bankman apparently told Scaramucci, Anthony or intimated to him, that there was an asset liability mismatch at FTX. What happened to me is I was actually speaking in Sarasota, Florida. There was rumblings that day, I think it was November the 6th or something like that, or 7th. The Monday was the 7th. And then I got back to New York and I spoke to Sam's dad about the problem, and it was intimated to me that it was an asset liability mismatch, that they were leading redemptions and there were assets available, but they weren't necessarily liquid, and they needed time to get the liquidity, and they were looking for some rescue plans. And so at that time, I was a good citizen and a partner in the business. In fact, they owned a piece of my business. I was certainly trying to help them on their fundraising round.

Jennifer Robbins Bell Describes Her Best and Worst Marathon Experiences
"Tell me the best race that you've done so far. What's been your favorite? What city, state, whatever? That's a tough question. I loved the St. George Marathon out in Utah. It's just so, the scenery is just so different from where I live in Massachusetts, the Red Canyon. It's just so, I love that area. Like, all the canyons. I think it's beautiful out there. I haven't done that one. But I have done Crater Lake in Oregon. And it was like that for me. It was just breathtaking. Yeah, that's my favorite. It's very cool to go somewhere that's just so different. Absolutely. What was your least favorite so far? Was there one that you're like, oh, I'll never run here again. I don't know if I should name it. You can just describe it. You don't have to put a city name on it. How about that? What was bad about it? So I was almost done with running my 50 states. And it was one of my last few states that I had to do. So I signed up, traveled, flew out there, stayed in a hotel. And we got up in the morning, started running. And then a storm rolled in. And I got to mile four, and they canceled the race. That's the worst. It was awful. Yeah, they don't understand that all the money, all the money, the flight, and the hotel, and probably a car rental, time off work. Oh, that's the worst. I was just like, it's not that bad. Just let me go. Yeah, it should be optional, honestly. I mean, let me sign a waiver quick during this downpour that if I get stuck by lightning, it's OK. It's my own fault. Yeah. Oh, man, that's the worst. But then there wasn't really very many options in that state. So I actually had to go back and run it anyways a couple of years. The next year, I had to go back and run it. Man, oh, I feel your pain. I haven't had one canceled while I was there. I was supposed to do Jekyll Island, Georgia last January. And they were worried about the hurricane things. So they let us know a few days ahead of time. And so we were able to cancel the flights and all that. So I got the vouchers and stuff. So at least I hadn't actually wasted my money and had to do that part again. But it was still disappointing because you're really all jazzed up to go in three days. And I mean, looking at the weather, I know they don't know for sure. Yeah. In that day, it barely rained. It was fine. We would have been fine. Yeah, I've had two cancellations. One was when I was at mile four. And the other one is I had just landed in Philly. And they canceled the race. And I was like, ugh, I'm not going to go all the way to the, I was out of my layover. So I just went up to the airline. I said, I'm getting back on it. I'm going back home. Oh, wow. So they were very, the airline was really, they understood. They were very nice. They just got me on another flight. And I just turned around, came right back home. Because they said, what I'm going to do, sit in a hotel? Yeah. So yeah, that happens to us. And we got to kind of take the good with the bad. It's almost more disappointing than an injury when they do that.

Jennifer Robbins Bell Is Conquering 52 Marathons in 52 Weeks!
"So today we are going to be learning all about Jennifer Robbins Bell's journey. So let's listen in. Welcome to the show, Jen. Great to have you here. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, we've had a few glitches. One of them being, I thought you were resting from a marathon last week, but you told me you just did another marathon today. Tell me about this journey you're on. So I set a goal for myself at the beginning of the year to run, or try to run, 52 marathons in 52 weeks. Wow. Now which marathon was this? Which week? So this week was week 34. Oh my goodness. So you have run 26 .2 miles every weekend since January. So my schedule is a little bit different. I'm not doing exactly every week. I work in the field of education. So this summer when I wasn't working, I ran more marathons. And right now I'm just trying to be flexible with my work schedule. So it doesn't always work out that I can run a marathon. I have done multiple marathons, like in a series, to try to make up for the weekends that I can't run. Wow. That's amazing. How are you holding up? How's the body feeling? I think that's one thing that amazes me the most, is that I do seem to have a body that's able to recover quickly from doing the long. And I think that, I don't know, I don't know the science behind it, maybe it's because I've done it so much that my body's just like, all right, this is what's going to happen. Here we go. So I don't know. I don't feel like really worn down or sore during, you know, afterwards. I feel pretty good. I mean, I'm definitely tired and, you know, sore. But maybe I'm just getting used to it. I don't know. Yeah. Once you, I think, build up that endurance, it's just another, it's like people who just walk a mile every day. That's what it is for you. So now other than finishing, do you have any goals set each time for times or anything? So it depends. The races that I've been working on, sometimes it's trail, sometimes it's road. I have done some ultras. So it just kind of depends on what the course is for the race that I'm doing. But my overriding goal is to always stay healthy and injury free. Of course, I always want to run as fast as I can. But you have to sort of rein yourself in a little bit when you're doing it week after week. Otherwise, that staying healthy goal will go up the window. So I do like to try to push as much as I can within reason.

The Dan Bongino Show
AG Garland Refuses to Say If Any FBI Informants Attended Jan. 6
"You're to not going get this anywhere else. I'm pretty sure because I haven't heard it anywhere else. I'm going to explain to you why Derek Farland, our non esteemed attorney general, refuses to give an answer on how many, if any, confidential human sources or FBI agents were there on January 6th. But listen to this first. Check this out. Now on that video, that was your answer to a question to me two years ago, when I said how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 5th and January 6th and agitating in the crowd to go into the Capitol and how many went into the Capitol. answer Can you that now? I don't know the answer to that question. Last time, you don't know how many there were or there were or none. I don't know the answer to either of those questions, if there were any. I don't know how many. Or whether there are any. I think you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any. You want to say that again, that you don't know that there were any? I have no personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I said the last time. You've had two years to find out. And today, by the way, that was in reference to Ray Epps and yesterday you indicted him. Isn't that a wonderful coincidence on a misdemeanor? Meanwhile, you're sending grandmas to the prison. You're putting people away for 20 years for merely filming. Some people weren't even there yet. You've got the guy on video. He's saying go into the Capitol. He's directing people to the Capitol before the speech ends. He's at the the site of first breach. You've got all the goods on in ten videos and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor? The American public isn't buying it. That was Tom Massey, by the way.

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now is the great one, Mark Levin. Mark, thank you for taking the time. I have to say your book right here, The Democrat Party Hates America, is a noteworthy, remarkable, and impressive accomplishment, Mark. The footnotes alone could be its own book. Mark, congratulations, and please introduce the book to our audience. First of all, thank you, Charlie, for all your support all the time. You're a beacon of liberty out there, my brother. Thank you. Well, I decided to put the title in this book when I finished it. Let's look around today, even before we get into any history background on The Democrat Party Hates America. You look at the border. You look at our value of our currency. You look at what's going on in our classrooms. You look what's going on in our courtrooms. You look what's going on with the price of fuel, and soon to be the elimination of the combustion engine. You look at what's going on in the streets, particularly in our inner cities, where people are being mugged, raped, and brutalized, and murdered with very little consequence. And I can go on and on and on. This is the news that we're faced with almost every day. This is what you, Charlie, and I have to deal with almost every day when we talk about it. This is what the American people see every day. Well, these aren't natural disasters. Somebody's causing all these things to happen. So who's causing all these things to happen? It's man -made. Who are these men? What's the Democrat Party behind every single one of these? And when you go back in history, the Democrat Party has never accepted America and Americanism. It's never accepted the Declaration of Independence. It doesn't even accept it today. Never accepts the Constitution. It is rewriting our history about our founding. It's done this before. So we have a party that was the party of the Confederacy, the party of slavery, the party of segregation, the party of eugenics, the party of the Klan, the party of lynching. And all of a sudden it keeps attacking the American history. That's their history. It's not America's history. It's their history. And then today, of course, they are also attacking America. But like good chameleons, they've shifted the way they do it. So whereas they used to be the party of anti -black racism, now they're the party of anti -white racism. Why? Because they don't like white people. Well, many of these are white people. Because they're Marxists. So in order to attack the race founding of the nation, which was founded largely by white people and Europeans, you need to attack that. So you have the 1690 project, you have critical race theory, you have monuments being pulled down, you have all these things going on. Because the goal now is to destroy the connection of the American people with their history, the destruction of the American culture, and so forth and so on. So you got to look at the Democrat Party through the lens of power, their power. Because the Democrat Party, Charlie, is not a typical political party. It's an autocratic entity that doesn't seek to win elections. It seeks to control elections, control the outcome of elections, to diminish the viability of any opposition parties or any opposition of any kind. And so this book gets very deep into the history, as you know. It's very hard to do an interview or answer an interview on this book because it is so comprehensive. It is comprehensive. It is. Yeah. And I've spent a lot of time, Mark, flipping through it. I want to just isolate one sentence that I think is super powerful. Page 23 of the Democrat Party Hates America. The Democrat Party has evolved into an anti -American political and cultural entity. It's an institutional home for the Marxist ideology in its Americanized forms. Mark, part of the challenge I have with people that have a muscle memory of a past that no longer exists, 1980s, 1990s, it's hard, Mark, for some people I talk to for them to believe that the leading American political party that controls the White House and the United States Senate and all the bureaucracies has contempt for the country they govern. That's why I think your book is so important, Mark. It really challenges limiting beliefs. You do it in a fabulous way. But I want to just isolate. This is a party that has bitterness towards what you and I love. This is no longer a policy debate. We want different things. Mark Levin. 100 percent. I'd always amazes when people say to me, well, can't we get something going here? The bipartisan. I don't know. Should we have done something bipartisan with the Confederacy? Some things are right and some things are wrong. When people are, as they say, they use the phrase fundamentally transforming America. Shouldn't we believe them? When one of the leading Democrat lights in the Democrat Party is a Marxist by the name of Bernie Sanders, shouldn't we understand that? When 10 to 15 percent of the Democrat caucus in the House of Representatives are Marxists, shouldn't we accept that and have to deal with it? So what I've tried to do in this book is rather than deal with the ephemeral or the ambiguous, it's to put a label on it. American Marxism sort of set the stage. But the fact of the matter is we have a political entity, which is more than a party. It's your typical autocratic party that wants to do what? That wants to devour this society. That wants to replace the country. They want allegiance to the party, not to the country. They don't give a damn about the country. Your fuel prices, the open border, elections. They have a fourth branch of government that they've created with some help of Republicans, but it's their government, which issues more regulations and laws than Congress ever could. We don't even have a representative republic anymore. You and I, we're not asking members of Congress to eliminate the incandescent light bulb because apparently it kills people. They're going through our homes. They're eliminating all kinds of appliances. Any government that has the power to eliminate a light bulb has no limits on its power. And so what this party does is every waking hour of its leadership is to try and destroy the status quo, destroy our traditions, destroy our customs, destroy real law and order, particularly in our communities, as they empower and centralize the police state. If people want to really understand... Let me just say this to you, Charlie. There was a great review done by Thomas Lifson of the American Thinker, founder of the American Thinker.

hour podcast some of us have to work tomorrow all right here we go let's jump right into 1967 musical events in 1967 and the year kicks off right away with a bomb a bomb on January 4th the doors release can arguably one of the greatest debut records ever arguably if you had a top 25 greatest debut that albums would have to be in the top 10 it would have to be yeah you know if you had a top 50 that would have to be in the top 10 right even if you don't like them you have to say that was so ahead of its time oh it's so different nothing out there was like the needle and all you hear it kicks I mean fucking what a way to start an album it's a heavy song it with a bossa nova beat yeah I mean that's pretty clever yeah 67 so you know bossa nova was pretty hip again John Densmore over underrated underrated underappreciated I think you are you are so correct you know never gets the the the consideration that I I don't know you can't put him in greatest of all time but could he be okay if there's a top there's a top 25 drummer top 25 drummers is he in it good question and in rock we'll just say in rock I think he could be I could see him making so I don't know if he's a universal pick but I could see him on some list I mean he's something you'd have to think about like you said like it doesn't get noticed so much you know yeah yeah or it I mean although his drumming wasn't shy I mean he's jazzy as hell I heard um writers on the storm yesterday and his adjustment playing is great in his adjustments during the shows just for that yeah yeah the unpredictability of you know how the how the song was gonna go right because they could rehearse it all they want once Morrison got into that zone well in the drama keeps the beat right yeah yeah the drummer has to stay up with that yeah and played to the clown so to speak right you know and my my problem is if some of the clowns don't have the beat you know at one point they've got to give in like I said Morrison or even Dylan they'll set the tone but they've got to be steady themselves you know it's yeah otherwise it's just erratic but you know yeah guy like Dan's more I mean I had skill I had a lot of a lot of technical ability right feel yes cool so obviously his drums always sounded good yeah on the earlier on the other records even you know three years worth of music whatever I guess I would be who produced some Jack Holtzman was the producer did a good job Jekyll or now wait so no what was it Paul Rothchild yes yes yes I'm sorry Holtzman was he on the record company yeah yeah was that it was that chrysalis or chrysalis I think or just like yes that's a lecture a lecture weren't they on chrysalis though also I thought they were yeah maybe maybe chrysalis was a subsidiary but uh yeah Jack Holtzman's son is Adam Holtzman he's a keyboardist right now he plays with here we go Stephen Wilson but he does a little blog on Facebook and he talks about growing up and he was like six years old and his father brought him to a club to see the tour Wow at six years old he just talks about like yeah it's a great little blog Wow all right and four days later on January 8th Elvis Presley turned 32 on January 14th the human be in right the human be e -i -n human being takes place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park polo fields with spoken words from Timothy Leary Allen Ginsberg Gary Snyder in others live music was provided by Jefferson Airplane the Grateful Dead Big Brother in the holding company and Quicksilver Messenger Service speeches from Jerry Rubin and others were also given at the event although it's one band there I liked yeah Quicksilver Messenger Service who was it on January 15th 1967 who is your favorite poet of all them I know you're not asking me Arthur Rimbaud who influenced Jim Morrison good answer good answer way to bring that first opening segment rough full circle we're getting better Scott we're good now you guys get a lot of good trust me I'm getting a lot of good feedback so let's keep it at that I don't want you son ask for more money and on January 15th 1967 the Rolling Stones appear on the Ed Sullivan show at Ed Sullivan's request finish it he asked them to let's spend sing let's spend some time together is that the one there you go yeah and then he told him a really big shoe I hate to do this I mean I come back on penalty box I don't say just he beat my record okay look he just got on the show after late and these are either he's stuck he's frozen put the dog nose back on where'd it go are you throw it at the camera like your headphones on January 16th 1967 the monkeys begin work on headquarters the first album to give them complete artistic and technical control over their material and it was fucking horrible fucking horrible what were they thinking they know they were thinking the egos got too big they thought they were the music well the argument can be made that you know Mike Nesmith did write different drum yeah so he could write songs but I don't think he was a pop songwriter you know headquarters and they try to be all fucking like 60 ish and shit they weren't looking for pop were they they're trying to be like more psychedelic yeah I think so there were their channel on the Beatles with those quirky little yeah with anti -grizzelles on that I don't know some weird shit I'll tell you what though I don't care about it myself but it was surely a harpsichord on it because that's what all those records had they had to have a harpsichord and I have the book this the 100 best -selling records of the 60s the monkeys got a they've had quite a few albums on there oh they do yeah they were they were but I mean I thought it was just a condensed period of the show which it probably was but it's still I mean they've got I mean most of their albums sold really well yeah yeah ah you like the show what's it is like the show I did I still like it I still love it I love that that that's so that humor is great like dumbed down brilliantly done though humor yeah way was what they were supposed to act like that yeah you know what I mean there was no like these guys are bad actors they knew exactly how to do that they pulled it off great it was campy it was great for its time it's still great to watch now yeah I do think that banana splits were a better band yeah that's I'll give you the banana splits were a kick -ass band yeah yeah kick -ass man did you see the movie recently came out it's a horror movie with the banana splits the banana splits movie it's a horror movie yeah yeah it takes place in an amusement park and they're they're robotic and in Dyson and slicing baby Dyson and slicing I have to say oh man that's yeah okay yeah Dyson and slicing it's good it's kids again campy

member of NAMBLA I wouldn't the National Association of Marlon Brando look -alikes I heard I'd someone I remember he actually he was a sponsor of NAMBLA but anyway on January 30th 1967 the Beatles

Mark Levin
Rep. Massie Asks AG Garland Why Ray Epps Only Received a Misdemeanor
"On a misdemeanor? Meanwhile, you're sending grandmas to prison. You're putting people away for 20 years for merely filming. Some people weren't even there yet. You got the guy on video. He's saying, go into the Capitol. He's directing people to the Capitol before the speech ends. He's at the site of the first breach. You've got all on the goods him, 10 videos. And it's an, and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor. The American public isn't buying I it. yield the balance of my time to Chairman Jordan. May I answer the question? I'm going to ask you one now. We'll let the gentleman. Yeah. Go ahead. In discovery, in the cases that were filed with respect to January 26, the Justice Department prosecutors provided whatever information they had about the question that you're asking. With respect to Mr. Apps, the FBI has said that he was not an employee or informant of the FBI. Mr. Apps has been charged. And there's a proceeding I believe going on today on that subject. The charge is a joke. I yield to the chairman. Cut nine, go. Elon Musk was a Democrat who admittedly supported Biden, but then he became a critic of the administration and exposed the censorship regime. Now, per public reports, the DOJ has opened not one but two investigations of Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, spent $400 million in 2020 tilting the elections secretly for Democrats. No investigations so far. To the American public, these look like mafia tactics. You pay us your money, we look the other way, you get in our way, we punish you. The American public, these tactics are. One hundred percent. While it's more of the same the during hearing, I'm not going to play anymore for you,
Discussions of Truth
A highlight from OUTCAST by Gloria Giorno
"Seek and Destroy that has been the theme of discussions of truth now for well I'm in my seventh season here and we started the show on Wynwood radio in Miami 2016 is when I agreed to do the show with them aired the first episode January of 2017 this is Ian Trottier here and today we are going to start talking if you are not familiar with the name Charlotte Iserbit she passed away about a year and a half ago she's a former advisor to the Department of Education under Ronald Reagan her story is very interesting and captivating because she talks about having received a list of these Skull and Bones members via mail that was sent to her father who was a Skull and Bones member at Yale and Anthony Sutton was hot on that trail so two names that you should familiarize yourself with and that is Charlotte Charlotte's work and that is the deliberate dumbing down of America she talks about the invasion of the American education system and that having been formalized under Jimmy Carter back in 1979 Department of Education so she talks about that through her book and then also what I was talking about was Anthony Sutton calling her being hot basically on the trail of dissecting the corruption that is it's really manipulation because Ella Hugh Yale was a major stockholder a main president of the British East Indies trading company that is a Rothschild controlled trading company and the Rothschild funded the American Revolution so I may be off here ladies and gentlemen but if you look at the flag that was flown above the John Paul Jones excuse me the USS Alfred commandeered by John Paul Jones on the Delaware that basically started the American Revolution that flag is basically identical to the British East Indies company flag and then that you trace that and you go back to Cambridge Massachusetts and something called the flag committee which is Continental Congress approved Washington Franklin adopted what became the first flag of the United what became known as the United States and that was the US Grand Union flag which as being designed by Betsy Ross that is the US Grand Union flag which is identical to the British East Indies company flag because that is where the financing came to fund Washington's army and then you ask well wait a second that's English and well yeah this it is English but it's not English because London the city of London is not technically part of England it is its own banking it's sovereign nation a Roman banking colony still in existence these are all facts and you can cross -check them but anyway so seek and destroy corruption that is how I that is that is how I theme my discussions my conversations my talks it's what I do in Trottier with discussions truth today we're gonna talk about the Department of Education rather the state of the education system in the United States so quickly before we bring the guests on we'll be we'll be talking to Gloria Giorno and her son Stevie and getting their view as conservatives what it's been like for Stevie to go through I think it's Belmont University as a conservative so without further ado thanks for tuning in for the podcast on and we're bringing on Gloria and Stevie right now calling Laurie and Stevie this is Ian Trottier for Discussions of Truth Gloria hi nice to meet meet you and welcome to Discussions of Truth I've looked at some of the work that you're you've excellent hi Stevie so thanks for for joining the the the show and please give listeners an introduction to who you are Gloria you can start tell listeners who you are what you what you do and then and then Stevie you can do the same please I try to destroy a young conservative and I also did a nonprofit the name of it is United Women Foundation what we do is mentor employ aid and young conservative women who are in Stevie's situation and we also give out scholarships to conservatives who are not in need of a scholarship but who are conservatives and who are promoting the conservative agenda in their lives thank you Gloria and that's United Women Foundation calm I'll go ahead and put a link to that in the episode Stevie go ahead and introduce yourself for us please well thank you very much for having us on my name is Stevie Giorno and I serve as the chairman of the Tennessee Young Republicans and I am the former student body president at Belmont University where I was attacked by the radical left for being proud of my country and being proud to be an American on the 4th of July in 2020 during the as a mother for protecting your your family and your country I've looked at the website I've looked a little bit about both of you and what's interesting is you have been you've come my way and your stories come my way through a contact there in Florida and your Stevie your story is daughter went through something very similar and in her university classes but Stevie go ahead and tell us a little bit about about what you experienced you were the student body president at Belmont University yet you were attacked for your political views isn't that right picture of myself in front of the White House and I captioned it that I was proud to be an American and I thanked those who had sacrificed and served so that we may have the freedoms and liberties that our forefathers intended for us and within 24 hours my fraternity was blackmailing me threatening to label me a racist and remove me from the fraternity there were hundreds of comments on my Instagram post and there were hundreds of signatures on a change .org petition that sought to remove me as the duly elected student body president even though I was elected unanimously with almost 99 98 % of the vote and so it was really bad that students friends of mine my fraternity brothers wanted to attack me because I was proud to be from this country you know my grandparents escaped from communism in Yugoslavia and my mother lived there for a year so I've heard the first -hand horrors of what happens in a communist country and I fear that our country is headed that way every single day. Now what's interesting is one of the articles that I that I went through briefly was is written by Campus Reform it's published on an online newsletter called Campus Reform and one of the stories that they have today actually talks about glorifying Che you Guevara know this is a this is a socialist figure that that helped with the with the cubist Cuban communist revolution and Fidel Castro you're you're talking about your family having come from communist Yugoslavia are you seeing are you seeing Stevie in in in in your experience on on campus now I don't know what you're doing now maybe you graduated you can bring us up to date with where you at right now but are you seeing some of these same the same signs that that perhaps your mother or your grandparents were talking about that were that were red flags for for communism growing within the country are you seeing that experiencing that I do and I think unfortunately it is getting worse specifically at Belmont University they refused the school is refusing to allow a turning point USA chapter on campus I think it it's it's it's awful it's an infringement on our First Amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of belief to protest to assemble and so it's really unfortunate what's going on with with colleges and universities I graduated in the spring of 2021 but I have heard of the horror stories happening at private Christian schools so -called Christian schools happening across the country and until students and parents and grandparents begin to see what is happening you know the first step to solving a problem is acknowledging it exists and it's there and it's not going to get better until enough conservative students and parents realize that they need to stop funding the indoctrination machines of universities and change course well it's very brave of you to say that glory I want want to get your your view and and and I want to first first say this I opened this show up before I brought you on with talking about somebody named Charlotte Iserbyt and I'm happy to send you her link to her book it's called the deliberate dumbing down of America what she did was she started dissecting what was happening under the Reagan administration with the attack on the indoctrination that we're seeing fruits of today a few decades later but Gloria did you did you ever expect or suspect that something like this might happen to your son I I he gets into college were there any anything anything happening up to that time where he's now the student body president of Belmont University anything before that that you were that you questioned well you know hey they he might he might need to defend himself or was this a complete surprise to you it was a complete surprise there was absolutely nothing the handbook the literature the online documentation about Belmont University everything fit a conservative Christian agenda there was nothing I mean personally I think it's a bait and switch but there was absolutely nothing I was friends with some of the professors who are conservatives at Belmont or who were conservatives at Belmont and we had spoken for two years before Stevie made the decision to go there and no there was not any kind of indication that anything like this would happen now we would never allowed our son to want to go to a school where he would have been threatened for his beliefs I mean he had been working for Republican candidates since he was 17 years old so it was out in the open it's on his LinkedIn it's public so no I mean we we were told on every tour we were told at every meeting that this was a fully free campus there would be no harassment it was Christian it was conservative and I read the handbook and Stevie followed all the guidelines when these things did start to occur he did follow all the guidelines he followed all the rules he turned everything into administration and they did nothing absolutely nothing and Stevie yeah go ahead to this day they have not responded in any way shape or form nothing and this has been three years now so you have not gotten a formal response from the school administration Stevie you're simply in DC taking a photograph outside the White House expressing your gratitude for the country and the values that it stands for did you ever suspect this type of backlash coming from the because he knew that if he spoke out against them that they would send him to a camp where he'd never be heard from again and really that whole year of 2020 was either you agree with everything we're saying you endorse the BLM organization but we're gonna do everything we can to destroy you and in fact because Tennessee is a single -party consent state that means you can record conversations with only one person knowing I did record those conversations with my fraternity which my mom put into her book and in those conversations my fellow friends my fraternity brothers say if you do not apologize for your post if you do not endorse this group we're gonna do whatever it takes to destroy you and your career and your reputation so it's a more mild form of what happens in communist countries but because these students were not held accountable it is only going to get worse and worse and it did I mean there was one instance where a female student who worked at a fast -food restaurant I would go to for my breakfast in the mornings she admitted in the official College Democrat group text that she was putting quote gross stuff in my drinks every single day because I was a an awful conservative who loved this country and one endorsed the BLM organization and the school guess what the school did when I turned her in what did they do they accepted her into Belmont law school you gotta be kidding me I'm serious 100 % she was rewarded for attacking a political opponent and I think that's dangerous as we see what's going on with President Trump he is being attacked because he's leading in the polls and it's truly unfortunate that we're becoming a banana republic yeah did the did she make you sick with whatever she put in the drinks and we couldn't even get the Nashville police who are unfortunately very short staff due to the liberal City Council and the liberal mayor at the time unfortunately they were they were unable to investigate it because I was perfectly fine thankfully but they said since there was no lasting issues that they refused to investigate and then the school accepted this girl into law school with full knowledge of everything she had done struck so it it shows the systemic problem we're having and imagine if this is happening in a conservative Christian private university in Nashville Tennessee one of the most conservative states imagine what's going on in all 49 other states we don't have the ability to record conversations and to take screenshots of texts and emails and and have such transparency I mean it's terrifying to think what's happening in these other colleges yeah very well said Stevie tell us about that book and tell us about how tell us about how it's been received my husband and I we want to speak out on this we want people to know I need parents and grandparents to know what their children and yes very teen but there still are children what they face and what they are up against when they go away to school we need for parents to fight back we need for parents to take a stand if 40 % of students stopped attending their respective universities you know that the agenda at universities with administration would change so we as conservatives we have that title of being silent majority because usually we are silent well Stevie and I wanted to change that hence the book I use I feel that the book is an educational tool for parents learn from what happened to my son learn from the experience that we've had we went to this university many times it's not far from our home we investigated it we knew people who worked there who taught there and never once did we feel that it was going to be a threat to our son and look what happened so whatever you're seeing I dread to think what's going on at public schools I just dread but I want parents to learn learn read the book you'll see everything is documented in there as my son said fortunately we're able to record and we're able to use everything for information but we need for parents to be more active in their students and their children's educations even when they are at college because they are all indoctrination facilities I did live in a communist country I went to first grade in Zagreb which was then Yugoslavia in 1972 and I can tell you that on my way to school my walk to school every morning I had 1 ,000 US dollars in my backpack I knew if civil unrest broke out at the age of six I knew how to get out of Yugoslavia get into a cab that was waiting for me at the end of the hill and that cab driver would take me to the border of Yugoslavia in Italy where one of my aunts would meet me and my parents would come when they were able I also knew the police officer on the corner he wasn't there for me he wasn't there to make sure that I'd be safe or anybody else he was definitely there to protect the communist regime and Josip Tito who was the dictator at the time and the parallels that I saw with what I experienced living in a communist country and what my son endured at Belmont University it's there if it's clear as day and I want to enlighten everyone who wants to hear from me I want all parents to know this is happening in our country now too we are being silenced and shut down the title of the book folks is outcast how the radical left tried to destroy a young conservative and that is Stevie so Stevie was this a the attack on you was this coming from the BLM movement at Belmont University or in Nashville have you identified the nucleus of where this attack came from okay so let me ask you a broader question we saw during the Trump Tifa uprisings mainly Seattle Portland but obviously across the country Chicago New York but that coincided with this this COVID -19 virus outbreak as a as a university student you've now graduated but Stevie were you were you drawing any parallels to either of these things happening during the Trump administration that seemingly linked to a communist revolt within the country does that making sense were you able to draw any connect any dots Stevie we know from history that it usually doesn't work that way and the government's gonna keep taking more and more of our rights and when you couple that with what is happening what did happen in 2020 with with the riots and people getting away with committing crimes to where if you and I or anyone else who was a conservative did burn down a courthouse like they did in Nashville or protest and kill innocent people in the streets we would go to jail however because they were advancing a political movement that the liberal district attorneys in big cities supported they were let go and they were not punished like they should have been like we would have been so the hypocrisy is terrible I think it does parallel communism to where you know if you remember the black shirts Mussolini's black shirts taking control of the Italian government because they were the advancing political agenda and movement that the powers that be wanted them to they were able to harass and intimidate people into supporting them and I fear that our country is going that way and we need people to stand up now if we're ever hoping to take back our country and get it back on the right track and under control Gloria the book is recently published it looks like it was just published last month and you've got us forward by Sam Sorbo how's the reception of the book been so far what are people saying who have you spoke to about it how is it being received lot Gloria a of media outlets that are reaching out to us I'm being asked to speak almost on a daily basis different organizations different groups Stevie and I have traveled to a lot of different states throughout the country and we will continue to be touring and we are I have started a conversation and parents are now extending that conversation with their friends and that is the goal we need to start with one person talking to another and now the growth has been exponential it's incredible the book is selling very well it's available on Amazon and wherever books are sold but from what I have witnessed and the calls I am getting yes it is and I mean if we as conservatives don't speak up we're gonna be done this is it and if America Falls there is nowhere else to go and our children are being indoctrinated I don't care what level of schooling it's that they're being indoctrinated on every single level and if parents do not set a strong foundation in the household when the child is born and continue that throughout a child's life when they go to college always we will not be America any longer so the book is being well received I do have parents who have reached out to me and who have asked me questions likewise I do have some haters but that's how I know I'm making a difference because the hate is there as well yeah absolutely well said it's like when you went once you're censored you know that you're putting up the correct information on the online right Stevie are you concentrating on any particular campuses as you tour the country you point of a Christian organization and unfortunately they they canceled the meeting that was going to happen at Belmont and so been trying to help the students out there at Belmont but really I think the key thing is getting in front of as many young people as possible who are conservative and letting them know that they're not alone that the hardships they're going through have happened before and they're gonna happen again and we've got to stand up tall for what we believe in and we can't be scared of people saying mean things about us or what people put on social media or what they may say to us we've got to stand up for what we believe in if there's any chance of saving our country thank you very much let me ask you this question Gloria as we as we wind down and then I want to give each of you an opportunity to leave listeners with some final words and thoughts but Gloria as somebody who's lived in a communist country and it sounded like you did at least one year schooling their first grade what's happening right now to the border of your country what's happening down there they believe they have freedom and to an extent they do and I equate it to when I speak I speak to a lot of young people because young people are what United Women Foundation is mostly about and so when I speak I they look at me very oddly when I tell my story but what I have found that works very well is I bring up a lion at a zoo and he's in a zoo he's caged his needs are met he has food he has shelter he has water he has medical attention and it's all for free but he is still in that cage but he is able to roam in that cage correct and then we have the next picture a lion picture lion in Wyoming in Montana anywhere in this country roaming freely that lion bends for himself he finds his own food he finds his own shelter he finds his own water he takes care of himself that lion is independent to me that is the difference that is the bottom line that is the difference between communism and America that is the difference between our constitution is that lion that is roaming free throughout this country and that's what we are right now so that is something that I think resonates with young people and I I believe that putting it in a perspective of a picture like that they are beginning to understand a little bit I hope at least I mean I don't know right now what I'm seeing is a lot of people have said we cannot have an opinion because we have not experienced it which truly breaks my heart my family in Croatia thinks that they are free in effect my family basically is a caged lion yeah incredible and and let me review what is happening right now at the southern border in in the U .S.

Leo Terrell: AG Merrick Garland Avoids Telling the Truth
"Listen I'm not sitting here telling you Leo that if you're a conservative and you commit a crime you should be given a pass it's not what I'm saying I'm simply suggesting to you and I think you'd agree being a civil rights attorney that the idea of blind justice is that everybody's treated equally you screw something up here are the penalties and the penalties are the same for both people if they did the same thing with the same conditions but that's not what happens Leo you know it I mean BLM and Antifa you know burning down attacking courthouses people nothing happened to them at all yeah you look at the you know the January 6 people find themselves in the gulag I mean this has to be deeply impactful to a guy like you whose whole life's been dedicated to civil rights it's hurtful because you want to treat everybody equally and then you know the Democratic Party has abandoned the whole concept of what Dr. King said you judge people by their character not by the skin and ever since the 2020 riots Dan that has been abandoned by the left and the Democrats and by Merrick Garland I've been practicing law for 30 years I think second place would know what I know the law and when I hear Merrick Garland during this hearing today say I don't recall know what he's saying I'm not going to tell you the truth I'm not going to tell you when you hear that phrase I don't recall I don't are you kidding me I know that phrase everyone every good lawyer knows that phrase There's pride to avoid answering the truth but I'm going to tell you something Dan CNN and MSNBC they're abandoning Joe Biden guess what they're covering the congressional hearing so the message is getting out now Dan remember it used to just be one or two stations they're now covering it they're now what's happening in that congressional hearings and I'll tell you right now everyone in this country knows that President Trump has been treated unfairly it's a double standard if you're a conservative it's a double standard talk about that Virginia parent who whose daughter was assaulted talk about the man who was charged facing those charges on the abortion clinics in

Julie Kelly: Ray Epps Should've Have Faced Multiple Charges, Felonies
"It is highly unusual Dan and as soon as that information so an information is the misdemeanor version of an indictment that's a criminal indictment that has felonies this has a single misdemeanor count Went back quickly to the DOJ's January 6 website. I pulled up as many Could with a single count Dan roughly 15 out of more than a thousand now Now cases really 1 ,100 defendants only about 15 have a single misdemeanor charge It is a single count of When you dig even further this is so highly Unusual that ray Epps was not apparently not arrested that this information was filed against And he's already pleading guilty today. I I can find no comparison in the Almost three -year criminal investigation into January 6 where this ray Epps matter has A comparison there just simply isn't one. So we don't there's no there's no statement of facts. There's no affidavit which is contained in nearly every single case, so we don't even have The details about what DOJ Matthew Graves's office is basing this single misdemeanor count on But they didn't stop the corporate media Adam Kinzinger and others from jumping again to ray This is a defense when we have like I said all this video evidence look Dan he should be if we We were applying the law equally. He should have been charged with multiple offenses including felony Obstruction of an official proceeding which has been slapped against more than 300 January Sixers And Trump President he was at the first breach point the second breach point. He was in a restricted area For for over an hour and a half. He was interfering with law enforcement.

Julie Kelly: Making Sense of the J6 Case Against Ray Epps
"To check it out, but only if you want honest journalism you want She's not your gal so Julie you know a lot about this case, and I I'm I kind I of mean that me I know I was being sarcastic in that open, but you know every and every bit of sarcasm is a little element The truth of that makes it. I think a little humorous is I don't know where we are, but Ray apps I mean we were told again that January 6 was the Pearl Harbor of our time We've got a guy you know literally not figuratively on tape talking about we Need to go into the Capitol conservatives like you and I start asking questions like hey You know it wasn't a good idea to Disguised incentivize him to do it and all of a sudden ray apps is a hero in the media, but can you Make any sense to you um it does not but to answer your According to the corporate media and people like Adam Kinzinger who to your point everyone involved Even remotely involved even people who weren't there like Henry gay Tario the ex Of -leader the Proud Boys everyone is an insurrectionist a domestic terrorist. They should be thrown in jail, But the key you know tossed for good except for ray apps, so If you listen to how they portray ray apps he is the victim of right -wing Theorists including us and Tucker Carlson that he just wandered there. He was To trying help police he wasn't instigating anything except and we have all the video evidence to the contrary. You know it was fascinating there's a hearing going on right now House Judiciary Committee and General Merrick Garland is there one of the Democrats is playing this video montage of January 6 and pops who up at the very first exterior breach point ray apps, but we're supposed to believe That he's only guilty
Lets Be Frank Podcast - Men's Mental Health
A highlight from Shadows of a Silhouette - Fortune Favours The Fortunate
"Welcome to Let's Be Frank, the men's mental health podcast. Join us as we break the stigma, embrace vulnerability and prioritize mental health in men. Together, let's use your voice. Guys, welcome back to Let's Be Frank, the home of men's mental health. Today, we have got a brilliant rock and roll quarter in the house that go by the name of Shadows of a Silhouette. And the sound is a fusion of alternative, rebellious and personal vibes. Coming from the heart of England, this band has released over 25 original tracks on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon. We're joined by Nathan Tyler, who, along with friend Greece, have been creating music for four years, turning out more than 50 songs on SoundCloud and major platforms. Drawing inspiration from legends like Arctic Monkeys, Bowie and Nirvana, the music has even graced BBC introduces for the East Midlands. And they've rocked the Metrodome in Nottingham. They've also played the Quarry Stage during the Wyandotte Festival in front of 2000 fans, an experience that fueled their passion for music. This year, they have hit the main stage at Wyandotte Festival, producing an unforgettable show. So guys, girls, stay tuned as we dive into the guys world and discover what drives this band's unstoppable journey. But as always, let's check in with resident host Mr Ryan Smith. How are you doing, mate? What an introduction that was, eh? I'll tell you what the hell's going on. This is like the big time now, isn't it? This is just like, I'm going to say so rock and roll, but that's like, I think that's more like 60s rather than the 90s, I don't know. Anyway, I just know I'm older than most of this band put together. So, yeah, no, absolutely brilliant to get these guys on. I'm feeling good. Started watching the ice hockey today, you know, a little bit late jumping on with you just because of the ice hockey. But do you know what? I'm in a good place. So, yeah, guys, welcome to the show. How are you all doing? Well, thank you. Thank you for having us on. You say you're a lot older than us all put together, but we all know, mate, you're still 21 in that. Hard to show if it was, but we break through and still look like a one year old messing about. Bless you, bless you, bless you. Panthers or Steelers? Don't mention that second one. No, if you mention that second one, you mention that second one and we'll just stop this right now. All right. No, no, no. I didn't realise. That's all right then. That's all right then. Yeah, yeah, Panthers, Panthers through and through. No, but guys, honestly, welcome to the show. We've been throwing a couple of conversations back and forth for a bit now and it's finally here. So, you know what? Guys, introduce yourselves. Well, we're Shadows of a Silhouette and, of course, we're a four piece band from Derby. We just, Derbyshire, we try and focus on sounds that are a bit more like authentic, like through and through. Even all of us playing our own instruments on songs like you wouldn't think that to be something that you'd be lacking in the music industry. But actually, nowadays it's more dominated by electronic simulated sounds. I'm Nathan Brown, the lead singer. I've got Rhys Carter, lead guitarist. And Ferg's in Corfu at the minute, but we've also got Tyler Anderson, our drummer. Fantastic. So, yeah, guys, I managed to listen to your latest track that's going to be released, I think, later this month. You know, well, later in September. We're recording this at the beginning of September. But, you know, you're going to be releasing that one. I'll tell you what, I was listening to my car on the way back from Mansfield earlier and it's catchy and I get it. You know, it's I think it speaks. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that being released. It's my personal favourite song that we've written for a long time. Yeah, it's fun to play in all life. Yeah, it's quite political. It's a banger. But, you know, it's really like a partial political. It doesn't really speak to supplement anybody else, any political party or belief system. It's more for the common man, isn't it? Yeah, it's just more for the common good side of politics. The politics doesn't actually get spoken about in politics. No, no. And, you know, I actually thought, you know, it actually reminded me of sort of Age of the Shadow puppets. Like Shadow puppets? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's that sort of... You're sorry? It's funnily enough the first band I ever saw live, actually. Yeah, that's why it's had that sort of beat to it, that sort of rhythm to it. And it just, yeah, you know, it was good, it was good. Well, I'll take that. Anyway, no, absolutely. What was the whole process behind writing that song? So, what was your thinking behind it and kind of how long has it taken you to... Well, I had a riff kicking about from the start of lockdown, really. Obviously, we couldn't practice, so... We were writing other songs. Got me loop pedal, yeah, and got the riff down. But we didn't really touch it until about, when was it? Like January? It started kicking it about, didn't we? We got some drums on it, and then Nathan wrote, as he does with most of our tracks, wrote all the lyrics for it. And, yeah, it's... It came quite quick, though, didn't it? It was just one of them, like, kick your fingers movement when you and us rehearsing. And then it just, we just all looked at each other and just thought, this is awesome, this. And then Nathan's writing side to it. It just... Put the structure together. Put the structure together, and then, like I say, it was just about... The words just came straight out. It's this one. Yeah, it's what we opened up the main stage with one or two as well. Yeah, it's brilliant. It's quite... Yeah, like, straight in your face, isn't it? Tempo, it's got tempo, it's got attitude. It's like hitting a knockout punch in the first round. It is a cracker, it is truly a cracker. It is really a cracker. Yeah, the lyrics, the lyrics. And it was, as you say, it... It's just the whole idea of that track. Straight in your face. Yeah, that's what we wanted. It's a song to get people's attention, really. And then it's... You know, who are these? And then it's... We've got you in the palm of his hand then. Crick up your ears. Also, it's an expression of that... Those little thoughts we all have about, you know, on a daily basis, when we're considering what's going on in the world around us. It's just a... No. With our ability to create media, to add into the great ocean of it, we think certain songs come out in principle, or because of principle, that something to have been spoken like that, or in a way, just for some... It can be heard from somewhere by someone. It's just about the rich going rich and the poor going poor early on, isn't it? Well, it's about the trap. We're all trapped. It seems like we're... The fucking mouse trap's already come down over us, and we're all stuck, you know. But life keeps going by for everyone as an individual. But there's a stranglehold on a lot of us, personally, as people trying to get through this world, but it's so slow for some people who don't have to suffer it. So, looking at kind of that... You know, looking at the song, are you speaking from your own sort of backgrounds and stuff as well, your own experiences? I think it's kind of impossible not to, of course. Like, when you are writing Straight From the Heart, not all of our songs are, right? Because sometimes it's nice to write a song about an idea that doesn't paint a memory. It's just... But then again, on the other hand of that, a lot of our tunes are personal anyway. Especially over the last couple of years, with what's gone off with Reece and Nathan and stuff like that. So, it's a way that I sort of... I'm sure Nathan's probably the same as to get these thoughts that are in your head. I have to get them out on paper and write them down about lyrics or poetry and then channel that into some of that music, which then becomes something tangible. The thoughts that you've got in your head, for me, it's the perfect way to sort of... Say what you want over it. Yeah, get it out and... To make room. Then it becomes relatable, because although it's personal to you, other people can then relate to that and hear what you're saying. Like, yeah, I know what you're on about here. Well, certainly we want to know what it feels like when they can hear the fact that we're getting something off our chest in these songs. Yeah, yeah. Because it's not whitewashed at all, really. We all work full -time, full -time jobs. We didn't go to uni or study music or anything. We came together because we all... Look like rockin' art. Look like rockin' art. We think it's one of the best things in the world. It's a freedom from life. That's good the thing about music, where it doesn't matter what race you are, doesn't matter what religion you are, everybody can come together and just be in the same field or at a venue and enjoy the same thing. Everything goes out the window. It's a universal language. And there's a lot of culture where we come from, a lot of working culture of people working really hard, raising families, but not really making enough time for themselves. We come from an area in the East Midlands where lot a of insufferable mental health is right there on the surface, but people don't even talk about it. They all know what's going on with each other. I know Jack's got a question for you, but obviously we've just jumped on beforehand and where I live, it's actually, what, five, ten minutes from... Not even ten minutes, is it, from where a couple of you guys live? So I get what you're saying. You're looking at the smaller sort of outlying villages that are ex -coal mining places. It's a similar sort of state in Wales. It's a similar sort of state in Lancashire, Yorkshire and things like this. And it's these forgotten roots. And listening to that track that you've shared with us, you can really hear what you guys are trying to achieve. So it's more of an observation rather than a question. But I know Jack's got a question for you. Before we come, because obviously we're going to look at your personal journeys and kind of delve into there and prod around a little bit, but while we're on the subject of why not, I want to ask you guys, how was that experience going main stage? It didn't even seem like that much of... There was a feeling of being out of place, but also at the same time being exactly where we're going. Yeah, it wasn't imposter syndrome, but you feel like... The best thing is if you feel like you've earned it, but then you also feel that if you're not getting nervous for a gig like that, I think you've got to get nervous to some degree, because at the end of the day, you're entertaining people and everyone's around on you to put a good show out. And then we just hope we deliver. And that's like, it doesn't matter how much of a buzz we've got to have to play. And the first thing I said to people closest to me was, did you like enjoy it? It's not about us, it's about the fans. Yeah. But the experience is just... What was that feedback like? Oh, brilliant, yeah. Absolutely awesome.

Massive shout out to everyone today in the live chat. Please let me know where you're tuning in from. And at the end of the show, I'm going to be reading everyone's comments out loud. Let's kick off today's show with our market watch as we do each and every day, the entire crypto market back in the green with Bitcoin back above $27 ,100 and checking out coinmarketcap .com, the current crypto market cap on the climb at $1 .08 trillion with roughly $27 billion in volume for the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dominance at 49 .2 % and the Ether dominance at 18 .4%. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, we have TonCoin leading the pack up 5%, trading at $2 .57, followed by GMX up about 5%, trading just under 36 bucks, followed by Conflux up 4%, trading at $0 .12. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, virtually 95 out of the top 100 cryptos are in the green. Some of the top gainers include GMX, GRT, as well as CRV and NEO. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated at 46 in fear, same as 37 in fear. So there you have it. How many of you are pretty stoked for this most recent pump? And how many of you agree with Stacey Herbert that this pump is due to Bukele's speech scheduled for this evening? Let me know, fam. And now let's dive into today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Check out the charts and what's popping with the king crypto. Bitcoin could see fresh upside volatility as the price action and the strength revisits a key level according to a classic metric. In a new post, John Bollinger, creator of the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator, says Bitcoin was positioned for a breakout decision. That's right. After hitting new September highs the day prior, Bitcoin has been challenging resistance levels out of reach since mid -August, according to data from Cointelegraph and TradingView. Now for Bollinger, the signs for Bitcoin are encouraging. Bollinger Bands use a standard deviation around the simple moving average to determine both the likely price ranges and volatility. And as Michael Saylor once said, volatility equals life force. Now, currently Bitcoin is putting in daily candles that touch the upper band. And when this happens, it can signal an imminent reversal back to the center band, or conversely, an inbound fit of upside volatility. Now narrow Bollinger Bands seen on Bitcoin recently lend weight to hopes that the latter scenario will now play out, quitting him here. And then there is the first tag of the upper Bollinger Band. After the new set of controlling bars were established at the lower band, he commented alongside this chart, the question is now, can we walk up to the upper band or is it too early to answer? What are your thoughts, chat? Let me know in the comments below. Now Bollinger characterizes the current mood among seasoned Bitcoin traders and analysts on the short -term timeframes. Despite the strength seen this week, caution abounds as various trend lines previously acting as support remain above the spot price. Now discussing the situation, we had on -chain monitoring resource, material indicators share the following. We have heavy technical resistance overhead at the key moving averages and support at the lower low. It is quite possible that we round trip the range. And with any luck, we'll see a legit test of the RS levels that will give us some clarity on where Bitcoin goes from here before the end of the week. And they also shared here in update number two, as noted earlier, it appears the Bitcoin bulls are gaining some momentum, but things are not always as they seem and goes on to share that sometime after last night's candle and close open, we've seen a new trend precognition signal develop on the daily chart and it seems to be bullish. I mean, we are breaking out. We are above 27 ,000. So let's freaking go. And also more strong foundation on the technicals. You can see Bitcoin hits yet another all -time high, which virtually means the network has never been this strong and this secure. Now I'm pretty stoked to tune into President Bukele's speech to the UN this evening. What do you think he has to share besides? I told you so. Let me know, fam. And again, welcome to everyone just joining us for the live show. Lots to continue to cover. So let's continue breaking it down. Next, let's discuss this adoption fund, which is a pretty big deal coming out of Japan. Let's go check this out. Japan's largest investment bank, Numura's digital asset subsidiary, Laser Digital Asset Management, launched the Bitcoin adoption fund specifically for the institutional investors. Bring it. The official announcement noted the Bitcoin -based fund will be the first in a range of digital adoption investment solutions that the firm plans to introduce. Now Numura is a Japanese financial giant with over $500 billion worth of assets, which basically that's half a trillion, baby, offers brokerage services to leading institutional investors. The Bitcoin fund launched by its digital asset arm will now offer investors direct exposure to BTC. The Laser Digital Bitcoin Adoption Fund offers long key exposure to Bitcoin. The financial giant has chosen Kamanu as its regulated custody partner. The Bitcoin fund is a portion of Laser Digital Fund's segregated portfolio company that has been registered as a mutual fund in accordance with the Cayman Islands regulatory authority. Now, Laser Digital Asset Management head Sebastian said the Bitcoin is one of the enablers of this long -lasting transformational change and long -term exposure to Bitcoin offers a solution for the investors to capture this macro trend. Now, the Bitcoin adoption fund might be the first of its kind launched by Numura and the digital asset arm, but the Japanese investment banking giant has been investing in the digital asset ecosystem for quite some time already. In fact, September of last year, the firm launched its digital asset venture capital arm to stay at the forefront of digital innovation. And also won Dubai's virtual asset regulatory authority license to operate in the country. The long -only Bitcoin adoption fund for investors in Japan comes amid a growing discussion around Bitcoin -based investment products from regulated and mainstream financial giants. The United States SEC approved two Bitcoin ETFs, even though there is a delayed decision specifically on the spot. Bitcoin ETFs. What's up with that, Mr. Gensler? Just saying. And apart from the US, Canada and focused investment products over the past couple of years. So there you have it, mass adoption, let's freaking go, especially on the institutional level. How many of you are in Japan? I know we have some in our audience out there. Let me know. And have you ever heard of this company before? Any plans in investing through them? Let me know how you guys feel. And now let's break down the latest. It gets more surprising and shocking every day with what all is going on with Bankman -Fried and FTX. Now his parents are involved. His parents are being sued by FTX. And it's just a nightmare of a mess, to say the least. So let's break down this latest story regarding SBF. Now, Joseph Bankman, the father of the former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman -Fried, complained to his son about the salary he was receiving during his employment at FTX US, turning the issue into a family matter. In a September 18 filing with the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, FTX debtors filed a complaint against Bankman and Barbara Fried, alleging that SBF's parents misappropriated millions of dollars through their involvement in the exchange's business. And according to the court documents, Bankman's contract with FTX US should have provided a $200 ,000 annual salary following a leave of absence from the Stanford Law School in December 2021. However, Bankman seemed to express ignorance about the terms of the contract, claiming to both FTX US and his son that he was expecting a $1 million annual salary. What about all that property in the Bahamas, fam? What about all that? Hundreds of millions worth of properties? Just wanted to throw that out there. The complaint states that Bankman was putting Barbara on this, suggesting that SBF's mother may have been able to persuade her son to follow through with the salary change. Things get even more interesting. So according to the complaint, Bankman's influence paid off, with SBF later providing his parents $10 million from Alameda Research. Can you talk about commingling? A 16 .4 million property in the Bahamas, funded by FTX Trading, the ability to expense roughly $90 ,000 to FTX Trading on the island nation in the Bahamas, and options to purchase company stock. Now, when reached out to the legal team representing Bankman and Fried, but did not receive a response at the time, unfortunately, the legal action brought by the debtors was the latest in the bankruptcy case involving FTX and many of its subsidiaries filed in November of last year. Bankman Fried also faces 12 criminal charges to be spread across two trials, starting in October of 2023, which is right around the corner, fam, and March of 2024, right before the halving, scheduled for April of next year. And since the federal judge revoked his bail in August, Bankman Fried has been largely confined to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Where's Brooklyn at? Before the start of his October trial, then on September 19th, a three -judge panel heard an appeal from SPF's legal team requesting the former FTX CEO to be released from jail in order to prepare for the trial, citing the lack of internet access and first amendment issues. All I got to say is this, I mean, how many people realistically have access to the internet in jail? Why should he? Million dollar question right there. But what are your thoughts, fam? How do you think this is likely to play out? And do you think that Bankman Fried's parents are just as guilty as SPF himself with the commingling and the fraud of going up north of $30 billion, making it the biggest scam in history that we're aware of? Hence why we call him Mini Madoff, because he made off with billions of dollars worth of investors' money, and Gary Gensler and the SEC was protecting him behind closed doors. So it's going to be very interesting to see how all this is likely to play out. Now let's discuss post halving. We all know there is a halving scheduled roughly six months out. We all know post halving, the price action is most likely going to reach a new all -time high and enter price discovery mode. Well, this analyst shares a very intriguing target. So let's break this down, shall we? And welcome to y 'all just joining us. Say hello in that live chat. Let me know where you're tuning in from. I stream live here seven days a week from Puerto Rico. Synonymous analyst Rhett Capital tells his followers on X that Bitcoin can rally above $80 per ,000 coin in the months following next month's event. For the halving, send it. Let's go. The Bitcoin halving cuts the Bitcoin miners' rewards in half, as we all know, expected to take place in April of next year. And while Rhett Capital is a long -term bull on Bitcoin, he notes that it is possible for Bitcoin to continue its downtrend before the halving, putting him here. Hang in there and make the most of any deeper downside in this pre halving period. You won't see the post halving parabola in the outlines here in this chart. It shows you in the yellow, the pre halving period, then in the pink, the post halving resistance, and then in the green, you can see the post halving parabola when we hit those new all -time highs. Now, Rhett notes that Bitcoin may repeat its 2019 bear market cycle when it traded within a triangle pattern before breaking out and starting off the bull market, as he shares here, if Bitcoin continues to form lower highs, could Bitcoin fill the CME, which is the Chicago Mercantile Exchange gap, at $20 ,000 later this year or in early 2024? So it makes a good point. There is currently a gap sitting at that $20 ,000 psychological level. And he continues, if so, the possible path could be consolidation to the apex of the black triangle before finally breaking out to close the halving. And you can see that triangle right here in this chart. Now, looking at the chart, he seemed to suggest that Bitcoin will confirm the triangle breakout in April of 2024, followed by a rally towards his long -term target. Now, let me know your thoughts, chat. How many of you agree that Bitcoin is likely to break out to a new all -time high, entering price discovery mode in 2024, the year of the halving? Let me know. And what are some of your targets? I'd also like to point out that the Stock the Flow model and Plan B, creator of that model, he suggests a $100 to $1 million range price for the King Crypto post halving. We also have some very other bullish predictions, which I cover on a daily basis here on the channel. But I'd love to know your personal prediction. I think we reached the cycle peak personally sometime in 2025, but I think 2024, we enter that price discovery mode. But I'd love to know your thoughts and your opinions in the comments right down below. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the latest from the macro guru, Raoul Pal, who is suggesting that the Bitcoin market cap and crypto market cap as a whole does something between 5 and 10x for this upcoming bull cycle. Now, you do the math. We have a crypto market cap right now. I'm going to ballpark it at a trillion. We have a Bitcoin market cap. I'm going to ballpark it at a half a trillion, which is 500 billion. So hypothetically, if we were to 10x Bitcoin in and of itself, we're talking about a 5 trillion dollar Bitcoin market cap, which would be half the current market cap of gold. Now, with the entire crypto market cap, we can potentially hit 10 trillion. Now, also note, back in November of 2021, when we hit that all time high of 69 ,000 in November of last year, the total crypto market cap was just north of that 3 trillion dollar market cap. So he's so let's break this down and shout out to Raoul Pal. Here we go. Former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal says the next bull cycle can bring an explosion in the market cap of all of the digital assets. That's right. In a new interview with Altcoin Daily, the macro expert says he expects a huge increase in the adoption of digital assets, and that can cause the total market cap of crypto to skyrocket as much as 900 % from its current value during the next bull market. Quoting the analysts here, obviously, I think we'll go well through new all time highs. I think the whole ecosystem of crypto will go from 425 million users where we're at today. And I think at the end of this cycle, there'll be a billion users by that kind of use cases in which we have talked about. And let's not forget, we have got central bank digital currencies that are known as CBDCs and stable coins. There is a lot going on still. So if this entire space is going to grow 2 .5 X in the number of users, well, the market cap of the entire space is five or 10 X. Send it. Let's go. Pal also says he is closely watching development of layer two Altcoin projects for new use cases, which could boost the value of their individual market cap, quitting him again. And then let's see how people value layer twos in this. We don't really know how layer twos accrue much value. Do we have to have a massive amount of transactions in which case then you need stuff like Ticketmaster with millions and millions and millions of transactions to drive value to those chains because they batched them and batched them down to Ethereum. So there you have it. And to watch this interview, he did Raul Pal, the macro guru with Altcoin Daily entitled best cryptocurrency investing strategy into 2024. Check the show notes, blow the video in the description and let me know your thoughts on his personal prediction. Do you feel post having that the market cap for the entire crypto market can likely 10 X from the current valuation along with Bitcoin surging 10 X to roughly a five trillion market cap? And hypothetically, if the macro guru is correct, where do you think that would likely take the Bitcoin price? Well, let's run some hypothetical math. Bitcoin was the 10 X from the current price action of 27 ,000. Well, that's $270 ,000 per coin. Take that. And as we all know, Bitcoin rises like that, the entire crypto market cap would go along for the ride, including the altcoin. So please let me know in the chat, fam, which altcoins, if any, are you most bullish on in the crypto market? And what are your thoughts surrounding Raul Pal being so bullish on Solana? A few months back, I read in an interview he shared that 80 % or more of his portfolio was specifically in an altcoin called Solana. So I'd love to know your thoughts. Obviously, he has a high risk tolerance as I look at that particular cryptocurrency to be very risky, especially with all that went in with the venture capitalists and SPF and FTX exchange pumping that particular all. So I'd love to know how you feel regarding all of that. And with that being shared, fam, now let's discuss Peter Thiel and his $4 million price prediction, as well as rumor has it, and I'll be covering this as well, that he dumps most of his Bitcoin position at the top of the market practically 30 days before the crash. So let's break this down because Peter Thiel was actually one of the keynote speakers at the Miami Conference for Bitcoin. And here's what he had to share as I transcribed his speech, and then we'll discuss him reportedly making $1 .8 billion cashing out on his eight -year bet around the time he was touting these all -time high predictions. So here we go. He says, the enemy's list is a list of people who I think are stopping Bitcoin. He says there is a lot of them. They tend to have nameless, faceless bureaucratic perspectives, which of course is one of the ways they hide. He goes on to share, we are going to try to expose them and realize that this is sort of what we have to fight for Bitcoin to go up, 10x or 100x from here. Now, just FYI, to give you some perspective, at the time he made this prediction on stage at the Bitcoin Miami Conference, Bitcoin was trading at roughly $43 ,000 per coin. So you run the math. 43 ,000 times 100x is over $4 million per Bitcoin. So you know that? Let's continue with what he had to share. The central banks are going bankrupt. We are at the end of the fiat money regime. How many of you agree with that statement? I agree there 100%. The first person on the list is Berkshire Hathaway CEO, Warren Buffett. Thiel put up a picture of Buffett with two of his most famous quotes about Bitcoin. One was rat poison and the other, I don't own any and I never will. I also like to point out now since then, Warren Buffett has much indirect exposure to Bitcoin through Bitcoin mining stock companies and etc. So go figure. If you can't beat them, join them, right? And he goes on. He opined, I think the direct in it. Yeah, and I say also Charlie Munger goes along with him. Now, feel further noted that Buffett has a bias and makes him long on fiat money system and money managers who follow the Berkshire Hathaway executives advice will pretend it's complicated to invest into Bitcoin. I think we call that FUD. Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Now expect nothing less from one of the wealthiest people in the fiat money matrix Ponzi scheme. You know what I mean? So just saying. The next person on the list of Bitcoin's enemies is the one and only JP Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon, or as Max Kaiser calls him, Jamie the tapeworm. They'll put diamonds picture up with the following quote. I don't call them crypto currencies. I call them crypto tokens because currencies have rules of law behind them, central banks and tax with authorities. Now you guys already know how I feel personally about JP Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon. So I won't go any deeper there. But anyways, we know he's an enemy of Bitcoin and always has been. The next picture he put up was of the BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink, with the following quote. I see huge opportunities in a digitized crypto blockchain related currency, and that's where I think it is going to go. Now just FYI, Larry Fink is the CEO of the largest asset management firm in the entire world, which owns a large share in virtually all the companies in the S &P 500, and that is BlackRock. They currently have over $10 trillion in assets under management. And for a long time, he was spreading FUD regarding Bitcoin. But guess what? Like I mentioned earlier, if you can't beat them, join them because they just most recently, a few months ago, they submitted their application for a spot Bitcoin ETF, which ultimately means they're going to be introducing this to the institutions which have trillions upon trillions of dollars as there's currently north of $700 trillion in total addressable market, and they want their piece of the Bitcoin pie. So he goes on to share, the PayPal co -founder added that Fink's quote is somewhat representative of the whole genre of Bitcoin attacks that need further context, stating that pro -blockchain is an anti -Bitcoin term, very typically. Feel then brought up the environmental, social, and governance, ESG standards, elaborating the following, the label they have come up with, and perhaps the real enemy is ESG. I think that ESG is just a hate factory. Also like to throw out there, Elon Musk, he stopped taking Bitcoin payments for Tesla, and he says it's because of the FUD regarding this ESG, and we all know it's not more than FUD, and it's already been proven that Bitcoin is more than 50 % clean energy. So the million dollar question, when will the world's supposedly wealthiest man, Elon Musk, when will he start accepting Bitcoin payments again for Tesla? Isn't that a great question, and wouldn't you love to know the answer to that? Maybe you should ask Elon and tag him on X and see what he says. Anyways, feel stressed. You can always ask the question, what's the difference between ESG and the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party? Well, when you think ESG, you should be thinking of CCP per H. Now, he also goes on to share, it is the finance gentocracy that runs the country through whatever silly virtue signaling or hate factory to them, just like ESG, the billionaire concluded. This is what I would call and what you have to think of as a revolutionary youth movement, and we have to just go out from this conference and take over the world. So there you have it, fam. What are your thoughts surrounding Peter Thiel's prediction that we are likely to 100X, and along with his enemies list, as it seems, a lot of the enemies have come around and now have direct exposure to BTC, but it doesn't stop there because around that time he was making this $4 million Bitcoin price prediction. He allegedly dumped most of his position cashing out and with over a billion dollars in profits for his fund. So let's also break this down as this is also very relevant. How many of you were able to watch the speech he gave at that Bitcoin conference? It was epic, to say the least. I recall it now. So here we go. Check it out. Peter Thiel's venture capital firm reportedly made $1 .8 billion closing out its crypto positions around the time when he was an early Bitcoin bull, still predicting the token's price to surge by 100X. And again, from 43 ,000 price action, 100X means over 4 million. Founders Fund had cashed out almost all of its bets on digital assets by March of 2022, according to the Financial Times report that cited people familiar with the matter. But Thiel was still backing Bitcoin, obviously, when he spoke at the crypto conference in Miami the following month. He went on to share where at the end of the fiat money regime, he said, adding that the token's price could increase 100 fold from its level at the time, which was reported at $44 ,000 per coin. That prediction was proven false and as rising interest rates and failures, the high profile firms like Celsius Network, Three Arrows Capital, FTX, Terra Luna dragged the crypto sector into the prolonged bearish winter. Now Bitcoin plummeted by over 60 % in 2022 and was trading at under 17 ,000 by the end of the year. And I believe the bottom currently for the cycle is 15 ,700. How many of you feel that that bottom is in? Let me know, chat. Founders Fund first started pouring money into crypto all the way back in 2014, when Bitcoin was only trading at roughly $750 per coin. So by the time Bitcoin reached its all time high in November of 2021, it had surged 8 ,500 % from that particular level. Not too shabby for a seven year run, wouldn't you say? Now Thiel has a long track record as one of Silicon Valley's most prominent tech investors. He took early stakes in startups, which include Facebook, Elon Musk's SpaceX, and ride hailing app Lyft, and even co -founded PayPal back in 1998. Thiel is also a high profile supporter of the Republican Party and continued to voice his support for Donald Trump since the former president left office in January of 2021. The fund held around two thirds of his portfolio in Bitcoin at one time, but now not has significant exposure to crypto according to FT's sources. So there you have it. Fam, what are your thoughts surrounding his prediction and him cashing out at around that time he was making those all time high predictions of 100X? Let me know, fam.

A highlight from Optimism Announces OP Airdrop 3
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup, here's your latest for Monday, September 18th, 2023. Optimism announces OP Airdrop 3, Kanto migrates to a ZK chain built on Polygon's CDK, Aztec Network announces its decentralized sequencer selection protocol winner, and Go Ethereum issues a hotfix release for Geth. All this and more starts right now. Optimism announced its third Airdrop distributing 19 million OP tokens to over 31 ,000 unique addresses. The Airdrop rewarded users based on the OP tokens they had delegated with a minimum threshold. The calculation multiplies the number of delegated OP tokens by the number of days they were held. The minimum threshold is equivalent to delegating 100 OP tokens over 100 days. Participants who delegated to an active delegate who voted in at least one on -chain proposal received a 2x multiplier. The maximum reward per address was capped at 10 ,000 OP tokens. This eligibility period extended over 6 months, running from January 20th to July 20th of this year. Approximately 570 million OP tokens remain available for future Airdrops. Kanto, a Layer 1 EVM blockchain focused on DeFi, is migrating to a ZK -powered chain built on Polygon's Chain Development Kit. Kanto's new ZK -powered Layer 2 will focus on real -world assets. The transition provides Kanto with cryptographic security through the adoption of a Plonky 2 ZK -proving implementation. Kanto will also have access to deep liquidity through a shared ZK bridge on Polygon 2 .0. Kanto developers will leverage the ZK bridge for canonical assets, enhanced decentralization, and trustless asset bridging. Kanto aims to further Neo Finance, a concept for enhancing capital efficiency by deploying off -chain assets with protocol rails. Aztec Network announced the winning proposal from its sequencer selection request for proposals. The winner, Fernet, is a sequencer selection protocol distinguished by its permissionless random leader election, enabling anyone to participate in block building on the Aztec Network. Random leader election promotes inclusivity, decentralization, and resistance to censorship. Aztec's decision to choose Fernet over other proposals was based on its straightforwardness, security, and simple implementation. Systems engineering firm Block Science also provided an independent report on the sequencer selection protocol. Fernet employs VRF to assign random scores to sequences. And lastly, GoEthereum released Geth version 1 .13 .1, a hotfix release addressing a bug relating to block production in version 1 .13. The release also addresses active fork detection issues, database corruption during sync -snap, and RPC API gas price calculation. It also introduces support for configuring Geth via environmental variables. This has been a roundup of today's top news stories in Ethereum.

Gen. Mark Milley Says He Never Received ‘Illegal Order’ Post-Election
"Never received an illegal order. You were in this building on January 6th. You saw what happened on January 6th. Are you nervous about that happening again? Can you honestly say you're not nervous about that happening again? I'm not nervous about it. No, I think that first of all, I think Do you worry about it? You will be long gone from the Pentagon. No, I don't worry about a lot of things, Martha, I don't get nervous about a lot of things. I've seen a lot of combat. So I'm beyond that actually. So, But I would tell you that the United States, the institutions of the United States are very strong and very silent. I just want to clear this up. Whatever words you use, worry, concerned, but are you confident that that won't happen again? I am confident that the United States and the democracy of this country will prevail and the rule of law will prevail. absolutely I'm confident of that. And these institutions are built to be strong, resilient, and to adapt the to times. And I'm 100 % confident we'll be fine. Isn't this amazing? I know you know liberal. It's even more than that. She wouldn't let him finish his thoughts. She was pressing him hard to give the answers that she insisted on. Because, I hate to say this in so many ways, but the man deserves credit. He was not going to accept her narrative. And he was in the Oval Office. When Donald Trump offered Guardsman the National to the Speaker of the House and to the U .S. and DC. And they said no. He was in there. The Acting Secretary of State was in there.

"Okay, before the break we were talking about how Jim Jordan has paraded a bunch of actual criminals before Congress to complain about how mean their January 6th committee is. And look, we've known that these insurrectionists and insurrectionists say sympathizers weren't actual whistleblowers since at least September of last year because that's when Republicans chuck grassley and Ron Johnson tried to sell friend to us as a whistleblower in the via the Senate Judiciary Committee. Their theory of the case was that friend was not, in fact, fired for refusing a direct order and saying he wasn't going to participate in any more arrests of January 6th defendant. They say that he was fired as political reprisal for calling out the supposed violations of FBI protocol. And that violation as he phrased it was allowing agents in D.C. to retain control of cases, which allowed them to supervise agents in local field offices who might in other circumstances have been in charge of their own investigations. Yeah, and by the way, he was fired for it not doing his job. So anyway, and if you're wondering about that legal protocol argument, so yes, FBI director Chris wray has the authority to implement special procedures when you're dealing with upwards of a thousand criminal defendants who, you know, trekked from across the country because their God king told them to come here, it would be wild, and who descended on the District of Columbia to commit the same crime on the same day. And I know that, not just because I'm a lawyer, but because in fact, that was the conclusion of both government investigative bodies that looked into Friends claims. So the office of special counsel. And again, I want to be clear here for the listeners. That is an internal investigative government oversight body, right? That is not the same as the special counsel, right? Jack Smith. So the office of special counsel wrote, although we understand you strongly object to the FBI leadership's decision to depart from the FBI domestic investigations and operations guides, guidance when they enacted the January 6th task force case files, you are not involved in the decision making process, and you have not provided specific information to establish that the departure was made improperly. Therefore, we can not find with a substantial likelihood that the agency has violated a law rule or regulation or abused its authority, therefore we will take no further action in this matter, and by the way, the Department of Justice, inspector general, found pretty much the same thing. And yet these goobers continue

"The Democrats pants them by releasing a report entitled GOP witnesses. What their disclosures indicate about the state of Republican investigations and, hey, spoiler alert. This is a 316 page document. And it does not say bang up job boys, keep up the good work. It does not. And I know our listeners won't need this but to be clear, the FBI is prosecuting January 6th defendants, which means, you know, giving them due process at a trial by jury not persecuting them and, you know, but Liz, you had me at hello by which I mean 316 page document full of goodies, yeah. Oh, it totally is. Although, a lot of it is Twitter screenshots. So it's not that long. You guys can totally read it. Anyway, this report takes apart the testimony of Jim Jordan's first three whistleblower witnesses. And it turns out it's shocker. These guys aren't even whistleblowers at all, because the term whistleblower has a distinct definition under law, and it is not heard some shit at the bar after work got myself fired for refusing a direct order, ran to newsmax to tell my tale of woe. Yeah, you are not mischaracterizing these witnesses here. So, okay, the applicable statute is 5 USC section 23 O three. And that governs prohibited personnel practices within the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And that provides in relevant part that the FBI may not retaliate against whistleblowers, right? And so then that's how we define this by law against any witness that provides certain categories of information to their supervisor, we don't even need to put a pin in that one it's going to be immediately relevant. And you have to tell your supervisor whistleblower stuff, right? Like, you can't just not fire anybody who tells their supervisor anything, I could think of lots of reasons. You might want to fire somebody in that circumstance. So the categories to be a whistleblower are specifically limited to information. Directly from the statute, quote which the employee or applicant reasonably believes evidence is a, any violation of any law rule or regulation or B gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety end of quote, that's it. Yeah. And so the only problem with calling these people whistleblowers as the 316 page report notes is that Jim Jordan's cavalcade of rodeo clowns a didn't follow the rules and provide information to their respective supervisors and B weren't talking about whistleblowing stuff anyway, right? Here's how the report puts it. As the interview transcripts demonstrate, none of the allegations made by any witness who has appeared so far concerns either a violation of the law or gross mismanagement waste of funds, abuse of authority or a specific or substantial danger to public health or safety. Instead, most of the witnesses presented claims relating to their personal opinions. Most of which lacked actual firsthand knowledge of the events or matters at issue. No law protects witnesses who speak to Congress under these circumstances, accordingly, the individuals who testified before the committee can not be referred to as whistleblowers, nor should the information they provided be considered protected disclosures. And guess what else doesn't count as blowing the whistle? How about sending an open letter to FBI director Chris wray with dozens of questions such as why didn't the FBI open an investigation into the killing of Ashley babbitt and why is diversity and inclusion training being forced on employees when the FBI should clearly be talking about ethics and morality and diversity? And this put last question is ray Epstein a confidential human source. Okay, all right, you got to help me here because I know Omar Epps, right? He played Willie Mays Hayes in major league two. You said you watched videos, right? So I did not watch that. Okay, go ahead, yeah. Major league two surprisingly underrated. I mean, terrible, but surprisingly underrated that was after Wesley Snipes became too big of a stretch. Anyway, who the hell is Rey eps? Well, allow me. Because for my other job, I have become semi fluent and crazy. Oh, yeah. You know, it's a good skill. Rate apps is this oath keeper produced from Arizona. Well, I don't. So there you are. Ray Epstein, this oath keeper weirdo from Arizona and in D.C. on January 5th for the riot, he shot his mouth off about the need to invade the capitol. He was captured on film by a right-wing podcaster who goes by the name baked Alaska. You don't need to know. Don't ask, don't ask, right? Do I try and go down the Transformers wormhole with you? Forget it. Just take my word. Baked Alaska. Okay, all right, baked the left. Not happening. Big Alaska is a gross filth monster. And he's big in the fascist comic universe. So mister Alaska, not his real name, got 60 days in the clink for his role in the attack on Congress. Mister Epps, however, was not charged, presumably because he didn't go in to the building. From which the wing not a sphere has inferred that he was actually an F by FBI informant slash agitator, sent to frame the brave patriots seeking to save this country from tyranny. Which is all totally false. Complete nonsense. Total nonsense. But it was nonetheless brewed it about the halls of Congress by senator Ted Cruz and several of your lesser known members of Congress. And I will give you three guesses as to which Fox host started that rumor about ray apps. Okay, well, I'm going to waste two of them because I need to say a couple of things as prelude here. So first, nice use of the word brewed it. I think that's a first on opening arguments. It's outstanding. It pays to increase your word power with Liz died. I had to look it up. We want people to listen to the show. You know, so second, I want to be clear here. The Department of Justice was very, very clear because, you know, a lot of us lefty types were agitated about it that that was going to be their dividing line, right? If you set foot on the floor of the Senate, then you would be, you know, if you actually breach the capitol, then they would proceed against you two trial prior to that. They would be willing to plead you out for time served or misdemeanors or the like. So again, no crazy conspiracy theory. Since I'm down to my third quote guess, I'm gonna go with man of the people, the Bebo tide Tucker Swanson mcnear Carlson, not making any of that up. Heir to the Swanson frozen food fortune, and you know, voice of the little guy in America has forgotten racist uncles and yeah, that guy? Yeah. Yeah, it was that guy. Exactly. So Carlson basically ruined ray Epps's life and whatever, I don't care. These are not nice people, whatever. It's not my problem. The point is, though, if you are mainlining that kind of conspiracy, you're like not really an ideal witness because you're probably batshit crazy. Yeah, and just a reminder, we are talking about just keep back in the story here. We're talking about people who have testified to Congress about law enforcement, usually hold them to a higher standard. But not here, because see above Jim Jordan. The witness who posted that screed on true social, maybe he posted on Twitter, but he definitely is a big true social God. That screen about Ashley babbitt and ray Epps and Loretta Lorenz on the tarmac, obviously. So the guy who posted that open letter was a formal FBI special agent named Stephen friend. That guy has become a hero in wing not a stand for supposedly being a conscientious objector because he refused to take part in the arrest of a January 6th defendant on August 24 2021. It was Friends opinion that it was, quote, inappropriate to use an FBI S.W.A.T. team to arrest a subject for misdemeanor offenses, and he opined that the subject would likely face extended detainment and a biased jury pool in Washington D.C..

"You tease your gun don't you like your thing. Here's that one in the center. So just tell me that. Compared with all the other sounds that no disrespect to Leo Santana, but it sounds a bit low rent. It is a bit low rant, but I don't know what actually managed to connect. I think it's the saxo lyrics. She was kissing my mouth, touching the back of my head. I am enjoying. It's very descriptive song. And perhaps a little bit romantic, but I do agree with you. The beat is not there in a genetic, but Brazilian lyrics and it frankly, and doesn't sound like an exact charmer. Sitting here next to him for the evening going, God, while we with move those lyrics. All right, but obviously he hits the spot somewhere. So finally, I do want to hear about Margaret meneses. I mean, Margaret Jimenez is she's our coach from minister, and she's another carnival queen. She's 60 years old now, but in fact, besides her jobs as coach a minister, she will be performing this year's carnival in Jean peso, which is going to buy it. There's a lot of tributes to her. She had an amazing music career. She's very much associated with carnival. I chose to end the show a lovely track by her. It's called Farah by Margaret Jimenez. Let's have a listen. It's a very enjoyable track. Give them a little bit of trouble if only she sort of delivered her political speeches in that style. I think we'll actually frankly any politicians. Well, it would get the message home, Fernanda Augusta. Thank you so much for our carnival special. And that's all we have time for today's edition of the briefing. Many thanks to all my guests, and to the producers carlotta rebelo, our researchers were and very Nikolai palmieri and our studio manager was Adam heaton.

"Nelson and a special edition of a Thursday regular now monocle 24 senior correspondent Fernanda Auguste joins me for the weekly global countdown, but this week Faye, we're not going to a country, or we are, but there's a glittery headdress special. It's carnival week. It's kind of a week and that's the most important moment for the Brazilian music world. I mean, because that's when artists release the tracks, they might do well. And remember, we celebrate carnival the whole week. I mean, there's a lot of pre carnival parties as well. It's never ending thing there in Brazil. So looking into the dim and distant past of let's say the United Kingdom, everyone who went bananas for the Christmas number one. Do you have the equivalent of a carnival number one in Brazil? We do have an equivalent, and I will be talking about this throughout this 5 songs that I chose in 5 songs. In fact 6 because I am a little bit naughty here. And sometimes it's quite organic. Sometimes very hard to predict, which song actually might do well. Sometimes the top artist released a hit that doesn't really connect with people. But you know, we're looking to those examples that are given to you. Are we looking at this year's contenders for carnival number one? Absolutely. Excellent. So this is sort of like 5, four, three, two, one, position, or is this just what they had has offered us today? What face had? It was like my predictions. I'm playing a little bit of a magic game here. It's my predictions. Right, okay, so who are we starting? Who or what are we starting with? Well, I'm starting in a very safe way because she is the Queen of carnival. She is celebrating 30 years of her career this year. It's the wonderful advantages and Gollum. I mean, she's a blockbuster name in Brazil. I mean, if she's going to perform, you can be sure that it would be sold out. And you know, she's still releasing great singles as well.

"He was an appointee of Donald Trump. And it seems like something at least came to a head, whether it was a personal decision of David malpas to kind of force this or the fact that The White House wants to move specifically on climate climate financing for developing countries, you know, we don't know the exact details from the inside of that. But it does seem like this was something coordinated. Indeed, I mean, one wonders how much of a hangover of the Trump era mister malpass is or rather was. You mentioned we've both mentioned the issue of his climate change denial comment. How much did that push him out? Well, you know, it's a good question. I think climate was a key element of this, you know, back in September, there was this very sort of comment that went around the world that really highlighted his potential climate denial. We don't know exactly where he stands on this. It should be said, but there was this moment where he was asked by a reporter whether fossil fuels contributed to climate change or not, and he's just responded well, I'm not a scientist. And that was the comment that sort of started much of this. But at the same time, I have to say, you know, as we both mentioned, he was a Trump appointee. And so beyond that really, even though this September comments from him were the ones that raised questions, The White House at that point did not call for his resignation. He clarified his remarks and said, of course, climate change is man-made. And he sort of did a little turn about on that. But, you know, I spoke with Nadia darr, she is the head of the Washington office of oxfam international and organization charity that has worked hard on World Bank reform. And she talked about the fact that, you know, climate change, this question of climate change has really hung over David malpass since the beginning of his term. Let's have a little. There were questions as soon as his name was announced as to what credibility he was bringing into this job and especially his position on climate change took a long time for him to even start using terminology like climate change and really that kind of lack of leadership on climate change was just so highly, highly evident. So that was one thing that was difficult for an institution that should be playing a leadership role. And that is doing a lot of work, but where the leadership was just not magnifying that and not demonstrating the kind of leadership that we would need and expect from such a large development institution. Now, one thing that Nadia Dar did say in others say as well is that David malpas did well on other things like particularly the pandemic helping with crisis financing also on Ukraine and Russia helping developing countries manage their debts. So that was something that was key in terms of a positive of his tenure, but as she suggests there. And as we've seen, also partly because the climate summit in Egypt as well where there was a push for more additional climate financing, that really seems to be what did him in in the end. So the question is that has to be asked who replaces him. So this is the key always interesting question, Emma. There is a essentially gentleman's agreement, if you will, between the World Bank and the IMF, that the United States picks the president of the World Bank and Europe picks the president or the managing director, I should say, of the International Monetary Fund. This is something that has happened for a long time. Therefore, in theory, at least this does fall to Joe Biden and the US Treasury Department is involved secretary of treasury secretary Janet Yellen said there would be an appointment and nomination of a new leader. This is something that Joe Biden is quite eager to do. That said, there is always this push for that gentleman's agreement to be lifted. I asked Nadia Dar of Oxford international about this as well. Let's have a little listen to what she said. The World Bank is almost 80 years old. We're talking about setting it up for the future. You know, all these discussions about this evolution road map and how can the bank be fit for purpose, but we're stuck in this archaic colonial relic of a gentleman's agreement where the U.S. still determines who the leader of this multilateral development institution is and where Europeans get to decide who the leader of the International Monetary Fund is, you know, if we're talking about fairness, if we're talking about good governance, if we're talking about making sure that the institution is working for people in the global south and then not to even have the possibility for the leadership of that institution to come from the global south is absolutely mad. That was Chris Schumacher talking to us a little bit earlier from Washington. Let's stay in the world of business and check what other stories are making the headlines to help us do that. I'm joined by Bloomberg's Ewan Potts. Hello, Ewan. Hi, Emma, good to speak to you. Tell us about corporate profits. They have passed their peak. Yeah, U.S. corporate profits have been years companies have been seeing their fattest profits in 70 years over the last couple of years. That's really helped us sustain a pandemic hiring spree by U.S. business. Now it looks like margins are starting to shrink and that could signal harder times ahead for the jobs market. Now, I have to stress, this is forward looking stuff because at the moment the U.S. job market is very healthy. The latest, monthly job figures we had from the U.S., were really knock out economists were expecting the U.S. economy to have created something in the region of a 180 190,000 jobs is actually created half a million jobs over the course of the month. So the job market is very rosy at the moment, although certain sectors particularly tech are seeing a lot of layoffs. But looking at earnings reports over the recent period, we've just finished earnings season in the U.S. getting towards the end of it. And the bulk of reports are showing per share earnings down 2% on average. And that is the first decline in those since the first quarter of 2020, so we're starting to see the shine coming off on the corporate profit front a little bit. An interesting illustration of that over here in Europe, the world's biggest food company, Nestlé, looks like it's reaching the limits of its pricing power. Now we discussed this before about how kazuma's companies can pass on at higher inflation, those higher costs into higher prices and at the beginning of the inflationary spiral, it looked like they were getting away with it. Now it seems they are not volumes at Nestlé dropped by two and a half percent. It was the second consecutive quarter where the amount of products Nestlé sold dropped, total sales of course have gone up because prices are going up, but the volume has decreased at the last time the Nestlé's volume was negative before that was right back in 1999. Okay, we'll move on to international trade relations. Politically, China and Australia, while their trade relations are improving, even if politically it's not getting better. Yeah, the freeze is over. That was apparently said by the Chinese to the Australian trade minister. We spoke to trade minister Don Farrell on the Bloomberg a little bit earlier today and they're going to be having a meeting to discuss the further thawing of relations, the tensions didn't occur overnight. He told us, and they're not going to be resolved overnight. But does seem like we're seeing quite a warming. Apparently, the Chinese trade minister said to him that the freeze is over and we're now moving to a warm spring. Now you'll remember that back in 2020, China placed an immediate moratorium on the import of Australian coal at a very big, a very large amount of trade between the two countries in that sector.

"Discussion about that are there for the last month. The government is pretty serious about that. It's believed that still the build up would be in the donbas. And closer to the Russian heart of region as there are less today believes that that could be attacked from the Belarus from the north on Kyiv like it was year before also because Ukraine is, but it's also stretches the Ukrainian resources. So of course it's more fortified. There are Ukraine and troops on the northern border as well. They believe that it's mainly the destruction that they can not kind of have all the people closer to the front line or and also Ukraine has also considering a counter offense because that's also the only way the further Ukrainian troops are pushing the Russians. The lesser they attack the Ukrainian towns, the less damage they create for the population. There are reports that there's frustration being expressed by the international community in Germany in particular, saying that the promises that Ukraine would receive leopard two tanks in order for it to defend itself from any fresh onslaught by Russia. Is not happening as quickly as it should do. It's been singling out several countries for not sending the tanks when they say that they would. How does that make you feel in Ukraine when you know that the rest of the world is still deciding and trying to sort itself out in order to help you? I think the Ukrainians can not afford to be frustrated. It's might be disappointed in particular because there is a clear clear understanding. You know, I'm a journalist. I'm I live in Kyiv, but I'm a Ukrainian citizens, and I'm well informed. And on a daily basis, I read the news about that person die. That soldier, you know, the colleague relative or somebody. In the frontline, I'm meaning like the people who are fighting. So it's very clear and I heard this talks from a veteran whom I knew who said like, oh, my platoon has lost 8 people because we didn't have a proper military vehicle if they had something else. They might have survived. So it's very clear. But I think that it quite a lot has been done. The Ukrainians are quite confident that the most important is to start. The fact that they lead part as are given, it means that more would follow. It's very important to break this ice and that if already this ammunition is supplied most probably. We wish it would be faster. Ukraine needs it to be faster. It's still the west kind of legging behind. And that's unfortunate. Because it's less efficient. It's inland cost more in the end. But what to do? You know, the result on the ground is what we have at this moment. Natalia, on the phone, on the line, I should say, from Kyiv, many thanks were very grateful for your time. The time here in London is 1208, a quick summary now from carlotta rebelo of the day's other news headlines. Thanks, Emma. The suspected Chinese spy balloon that was shot down while crossing the United States was originally set to head over Guam and Hawaii before being blown off course by whence. The device drifted across Alaska, Canada, and central U.S. before being shot down by the U.S. Military last week. A government commission in Russia has approved a sale of the factories of Ikea, the Swedish furniture maker, to two local buyers. It follows a decision by several western companies to leave Russia after it launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine last year. Ikea hopes to finalize the terms early this year. And the websites of at least three German airports are disrupted today. It comes a day after a major IT failure at Lufthansa, which left thousands of passengers stranded at Frankfurt airport. German ground crew is also due to strike tomorrow over remuneration issues. Those are the days headlines back to you, Emma. Thank you very much indeed carlotta. Now the president of the World Bank, David malpass is to step down a year early. Listen our past was the choice of the former U.S. president Donald Trump. He was criticized as a climate change denier for no reason has been given his for his departure. Let's get the latest from Monaco's Washington correspondent Chris chairman, a very good morning to Chris. Good morning, Emma. So what's happened? Well, as you suggest there, it was actually a surprise resignation from David malpass last night or yesterday evening. He didn't give a specific reason for his departure early, his term ends in April 2024. He said he would stay on until the end of this fiscal year of the World Bank, which is June. And on the one hand, yes, this was a surprise yesterday, but for insiders at the very least, this does appear to be somewhat coordinated. Joe Biden, the U.S. president, did want to appoint a World Bank president already when he came into office, but of course, you know, the World Bank president typically sits a 5 year term, and that was not something that he could demand. But at the same time, it seems like over the past few weeks this is something that has been coordinated somewhat with the U.S. administration. US Treasury secretary Janet Yellen recently just last week kind of urged the World Bank to do more particularly on climate financing and sort of making climate integral to what it does as an institution as well as other reforms. And that's really been the key in terms of some of the criticisms that you've had of David malpass over the last few years, as you mentioned there.

"January. 6th is burned into the American mind as firmly as 9 11 because it was that scale of shock to the system. 9 11 3000 people killed in 102 minutes by international terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Center. And we're supposed to believe George will. That's equivalent to January, the six when nobody was killed by Trump supporters when in fact the only police officer died the following day. As the result of a stroke was, in fact, a trump supporter himself. What has happened to the establishment G o p will ask Lord Black but first Lord Black my question for you in this segment. There is a likelihood of things getting back to normal and to put up in context. I'd like to play a little cut from Governor Gretchen Whitmer in a kind of pseudo apology for being caught red handed, ignoring her own covert rules pay cuts. I, um I put out the same and I wrote that statement is, you know it was an honest mistake and I have apologized for it. I think that we have specifically not gone forward when penalized businesses. They're trying to do the right thing. It's those that have flouted and put people's safety at risk that you know are the most concerning but I don't know that there's a lot more for me to it. Oh, add at this point time other than those former Spartans or I guess you're starting for life who know the establishment should be aware that is now a restaurant and Have pretty good pizza. Next question, so I'm sorry, but they've got good pizza rather peculiar Apology. Given the historic sweep of your works your your books on American presidents. The strategic evolution of the United States on this can apply it to Canada or Western civilization writ large. You of the opinion that there's someone who say it will never be the same again. There will be no full return to normal, or should we take Gretchen Witness? I don't need a mask. I don't need social distancing asses proof that pretty soon we'll get back to normal or black. No, I think we will get back to normal. I mean, it's been a Syriza's shocking experience since for everybody, So you take account of the people and societies. Justice and degree when they when they bounced back after a shocking experience, But in general on the way, the words were normal in that I think they will get back to normal this by the way this country but try watching. Others were saying that the beginning, but I think you will have full movie theaters. Full stadiums firm sporting Our prisons, other entertainments and you know, people you moving around pleasantly in public places in a leisure time, and so in a way that we missed for every year. And I think attitudes will be changed. Then I guess we'll all be a little where here. It's some medical things, but no. I mean what we will be getting back to is the natural Behavior of human nature and that has been suppressed for good intentions. I don't get it and some Jason's probably correctly but but also very arbitrarily, and for much to run. I tend to concur that we will get back to normal with its hand shakes, whether it's hugs with whether it's getting back to ST Year, But we can't wait will become species of idiot. So they greet each other by our elbows. I never do that. I couldn't I could not stand down that but his his his the real question. What happens? The next time. After all the flip flops from Fauci after Ferguson in the UK predicted, you know the man who's a model influenced most government said two million Americans would die within the first year. What happens when there's the next health crisis? Lord Black and the next, Fauci says, Put double masks on, Will we see a different reaction? If it's within 20 years? Yes, if it's 100 years from now will probably be the same people won't remember this and they'll build, you know they'll assume the worst and pretend and plan for the worst. But if it's soon enough, I think we can hear it could backfire. It may be that the medical experts say, say we get some new pendant like in 10 years. Let us hope the medical experts call it exactly correctly. But they will be subject to a much higher hurdle of credibility. Questioning to get over. You know, before people will do it, sir. That's your advice? Uh, s o I. On the other hand, I think the issue of what if it's another Virus that we think comes from China. That then raises the question of whether it really is an act of bacteriological worker because technically if you subscribe and I'm not saying this is the case, I'll be said I don't know, but Yes, the Chinese government deliberately. I'm not saying they deliberately. You know, discovered this and propagated this this virus, But if they deliberately unleashed on the world, with some idea of the confusion would cause And then the The number of people who have died from it. If they did that, that was technically an act of war. Now, I think if it happens again and equally suspect Origins of the virus. It would lead to an extremely serious state of extreme friction between the great powers. Respectively. All the countries and the country that propagated the prison will be China. We shall see. We have been following very closely the fate of Pastor Artur, the Canadian who refused to shut down his church services. To the local authorities in Canada. How much of a pushback has their being of that kind in Canada Have most people said we will listen to the health authorities. Well, I think the feeling about him was that he was mistreated and and it was gray GIs of these people would come and drag him off like that. On, but I mean, he was released after a few hours, wasn't it? Yes, he was. But I just wonder. What were the other examples of off this kind of push back or we did most Canadians say Okay, we we will abide by the temporary health restrictions. Look, I'm it embarrasses on disappoints me to tell you this Most of them just put up with that They don't like it that they frequently think it is nonsense, but they don't become demonstrative about it like that. Now with that said, I think things are easing up in this country finally, as they are elsewhere. But, you know, you know the Canadians. They're you know, they're it's a It's a pretty moderate country and we have a low crime rate. We don't have a lot of You know a lot of disturbances in a lot of friction like that. But most people thought that it was just preposterous for the police. They literally drag and physically act like that on day for him to be charged in that way without said he shouldn't be comparing the Calgary police to the step. Oh, and they aren't. I mean, they're just an ordinary police force, and they don't grow up people up very much. But it is telling that is the man who escaped Communist Poland. Admirable man who was his reasoning from his own experiences. Something I thought that that was Harry in states operating way. Need to try and get him on America First, let's work on that. And Jeff, I'm Sebastian. Gorka. We've been talking to Lord Conrad Black, the author of a president like No other Donald J. Trump and the restoring of America and he will be joining us for a whole hour as long as well as Victor Davis Hanson for our Memorial Day special. Follow him right now. Conrad M. Black on Twitter.

"I think i can't pretend and for so many of the lawmakers including mitch to pretend this wasn't going to happen was like win. You shake the soda tan and then hand it to your sibling and pretend to be shocked within the soda can explodes. And you tell your mom. Oh i at did that happen. You don't get to shake the soda can andy. You don't get to watch someone shake the soda can and handed it to someone and then be surprised when it exploded so national healing so on january six. I think the overwhelming feeling that i had was sadness because to watch those people that committed insurrection. Right now i'm not saying. Those people say people who committed the insurrection and to see people who are so. And i'm saying this based on the random interviews at happened by offering reporters on social media Journalists to be so uninformed uneducated and so angry and so hurt and not even knowing how to resolve that and so the resorting to violence. I mean it made me sad to see people who were so desperate and so dumb and this was even before we saw footage of what happened inside I didn't maybe you all saw that. I didn't realize how bad it was on the inside of but even watching. I'm not sure if it was the capital police or who was watching them blue. Let these people walk out of the capitol and baby. Someone said well. It's because they were so overwhelmed. Excuse me it. Joshua lawrence chamberlain held off. Didn't have any bullets in his guard. No-one in his unit had bullets and they still manage to hold off a confederate. Keep them prisoner. You couldn't walk them all in a room you let them walk out and yes. We all celebrate when the fbi gets another one. But why weren't they have date. Why did they get to walk out. Monica because there were white yes They walked out there well. And of course you you even hear the comments in the videos of them saying why are you treating us like this were white. Don't you know that. Okay way to make it super explicit. Exactly how you feel and way to make everybody's point four them very take video are saying that and yarded on social media. I'm kind of jumping around here. No it's okay. It's okay but you're jumping around because it's it's hard to process this in one linear fashion and it's wrong to call them all rednecks and to dismiss them as being. Oh they're the uneducated poor people. Some of them do know very well. Oh and a lot of them are actually have money. They're educated with money and a lot of military training sometimes elite military training. Yeah it's not really an easy situation to parse because it does seem like there is a very specific manipulation of image that is happening on january six to have the capital attack the way that it played out and to have what looks like collusion from the capitol police in a lot of ways and to have the differential of who seemed to be in that crowd where you have people who are very tactical and then you have people who seem like quote unquote true believers. We saw trying to climb. That wall wasn't working out for a lot of them. Yeah they were at but then you have the guys with with the headsets who clearly knew what they were doing. You know talking about it on that day and even moving forward and even why. I hesitated here. It's so hard to label went into that. Yeah it's so hard to label them because you don't want to say okay. We'll white people no it wasn't that rednecks plenty of rednecks at home or in rednecks. Anybody knows the history of the word is i. Compliment wouldn't call them that white supremacist. Then that kinda let off the hook all the other people who were white Go you know. So it's really hard to label you shouldn't be labeling anyone especially when you know that day anti-american rhetoric right. These are yeah so anti-american do stuff like that. It's like god you know so real. It is so complicated complicated emotions complicated vocabulary right to explain what happened that day. So we'll be really interesting to see how i guess from whose perspective is going to be explained. Yeah it would be a different perspective if it had worked for them aweso me. Why are so many. I don't know if it's so many maybe it is used say that uae are so many republicans against an impeachment trial. I think it's because even if they were not involved and they know it was bad they were complicit or they know they know how many of their colleagues it'll bring down and that will destroy party and goodness knows. Party is more important than country but even more important than party is money. Yeah you know you can trace the money find out where all these answers are By throwing wanna do this. Why don't wanna do that because people are making billions. It's all about the corporations that own the politics. You've heard yeah. I was first learning about standing rock back in but every year. That was and i was like. Why is it so important. Why can't go around the land. The people fighting for their land. And i was like oh. People have stocks in whether or not. They're going to be able to go this way. It go this way he we're gonna take their money out of stocks. Where's the money. That's all not to make a huge station. But it's capitalism it is we are democrats. republicans are just the tool of capitalism. Imperial capitalism is what i've heard labeled makes the most sense to me with the most money. Make the most rules. And that's just the way it is. I keep going back to. There's a a latin phrase for who's good more the.

Yeah but the nation of all of the slam poets who are at that level. I mean like. I have students former students from my school who are at that level or better. I'm not well. I mean you didn't teach at the high school level. Yeah now now. I meant i certainly am not at that level. I would like to see a little bit more season or lived experience from someone.

And you can see when you walk by now if you had that on your window. Oh yeah we talk about your window decorations. i even have on there. But i took it down because i washed my windows and didn't put it up but the fact that i washed my windows. It's really amazing. But i had. I won't let my black students. The the next rice he was twelve. I can have that in my window january. It was surprising but not surprising. If you thought you have been paying attention. It was still shocking to see it really happen but if you were shocked where you've been there was still a level of shock like you guys know people can see you talking about like the capitol police and the national guard and the dc. Please you guys know that people can see you. Not doing anything gras right. That was like that was a shock for me. But i quickly were all a turn on the news and i was like you know we can see you in the same token though there was there were those of course those those loan officers who one of them passed away trying to fight the riot. And of course jean. Yeah who received that. That was another one a tier moment on the twentieth. Walk on and do the layout security whatever it's called for carmela harass you. See the look at his eyes. Hey was waiting for someone to do. Something he wasn't wasn't it. He he was a security person should be very honest. I was kind of the entire event on january twentieth waiting for the other shoe to drop. There was some sort of morbid fear going through me. The entire event rating parts neighbor waiting for something horrible to happen. But it wasn't for me. It wasn't like that feeling in two thousand a that. That tension was unreal. Yeah and this one. There was like what algorithm the side. Now you're writing practice spot on the side of the parade because nobody else was there. I just wonder how we're going to look back on this inauguration given the extensive over promising that has happened in the last month or so. I mean i'm impressed so far by the immediate reversal executive orders that he said he was too. I am off so do it. Because he's an older white man. And i honestly i think american needed this older white man who is not shocking that he can surround himself with people from marginalized communities. But we know the white man. It's still in charge. And he's older and we know what to expect. I don't know who else could have beaten trump right because it wasn't i mean it'd mcburney. Yeah yeah and bernie not only for his politics but there's so much anti semitism even among white people. There's a lot of t semitism right and also interesting. Because joe biden is what's a nice way of saying severely catholic catholic. You know all of his children married jewish people and they don't talk about that a whole bunch or the fact that kamala harris husband is is jewish. Yeah and i was trying to remember at some point. didn't brock obama celebrate hanukkah at the white house. One marietta he did. That's what i was thinking. I was like wait a minute. This this'll be the first time. Not not by longest from hannukkah dinner. Which is yeah. You know eighties. That's back to humanity. That's so sad. That i said that allow. I wasn't sure whether to call you on that or not but it went through. I had yet looking at january six and the performative nature of the rally on january six and the way that the capital siege took place. Do you think that there was sort of this. Need for national healing. There's a need for accountability. I i was teaching that day. And of course i'm at home and it was so i flipped on the tv for a few minutes. And i saw him speaking. I called mind mom quick. And i said he's inciting he's this is democracy under attack. He's he's promoting the overthrow of democracy. He was booking a dictator. He's a i can't what is he doing.

There are some procedural rules that can be vote that it's Is there's a remote possibility they could take it out before President-elect biden is indeed inaugurated on january twentieth but the likelihood is that's not going to happen and as nancy pelosi very starkly said her intent is to make sure that president trump can never run for political office again. Well here's where it gets kind of interesting because even if this is a stretch even if we know. Those articles of impeachment are going to pass in the house right and at least three. Gop lawmakers are breaking the party and saying yes they will indeed vote for impeachment simple majority vote in the house heavier lift over in the senate but even if the senate were to take this out and where to vote to convict they would also have to turn round afterwards and launch another initiative because nothing in the impeachment articles says one single word about president trump.
