The Mason Minute
Avoid Shopping (MM #4629)
"The Minute Mason with Kevin Mason. My life in retail goes back to before we called this Black Friday. I used to work in retail as a kid. When I turned 16, I started working in a jeans store in the mall, so I've been working a long time and I personally avoid Black Friday shopping. Now, I understand you can get some good deals, but of course, this year I think Black Friday actually started back in like September or October. Everybody was having Black Friday sales already, which to me just, well, I don't want to say frustrates me, but be more creative. Come up with a different name. You can't have early Black Friday deals. You can't have post -Black Friday deals. Everybody knows what Black Friday is. Everybody knows that means you're going to save, so everybody takes advantage of it. Me, I'd rather pay more than have to go out and deal with the crowds. In some years, the crowds are bigger than others, and depending on where you're living, depending on what you're shopping for, depending on what's hot will depend on how much you're dealing with people. To me, people are just rude. People are just out for themselves and don't care about anybody else and lose all their manners and so I avoid going shopping on a day like today. Hopefully, your Black Friday isn't a horrible shopping day. I'm going to just sit back and relax and, well, shop on another one.

"I saw a post from my friend and colleague Sebastian Gorka on X, he's got a picture of Jack Smith, and Seb posted, this man has the godlike powers of special counsel. He ordered the Department of Justice to compile a list of every American who liked or retweeted President Trump's posts concerning his trial, and Seb concluded with, we are living in a police state. According to the New York Post, Special Counsel Jack Smith, one of Trump's tormentors, one of Trump's prosecutors, one of Trump's persecutors, Hugh Hewitt calls him the Inspector Javert, trying to go after Jean Valjean, the Les Miserables Victor Hugo reference. Jack Smith's comprehensive search warrant related to Trump's Twitter account sought Trump's search history, drafted tweets, blocks, and mutes. The Special Counsel demanded a list of all devices used to log into the account and information on users interacting with Trump, according to heavily redacted court filings that have been revealed. The search warrant that was issued back in January shed light on what investigators were looking for. There are demands by Jack Smith for information on virtually every conceivable aspect of Trump's references, all IP addresses associated with the account, Trump's privacy and account settings, records of the account's communications with Twitter support, and all direct messages sent and received from October 20 to January 2021. The government also sought information on users who interacted with Trump leading up to the January 6 riot. All information from the Connect or Notifications tab for the account, including all lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted tweets posted by the account, as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account. Now let that sink in. Are you hearing me? This Special Counsel, Jack Smith, sought from Twitter a list of every American who liked or retweeted Trump's posts.

trump are trying to undermine mike mike pence's credibility by suggesting he may be in cahoots with biden administration prosecutors attorney suggested pence may have felt incentivized to turn on trump because of leverage held over him by government prosecutors investigating his handling of classified documents what it first of all there's no there there just like with biden they it was inadvertent they alerted the stories they gave them back they're i mean this is just and and we find out that biden or excuse me pence is just a spineless a weasel as we thought he was oh all he absolutely was not going to preside over the electoral count vote because he's a good one hurt my friend and the questions and to move on to it he became what's -his -name on meant to be this morning

uh... eight years of a wide -awake nightmare of bush then we had four years and possibly even worse i'd i don't probably need to bang my head the on wall know that unpleasant things is not something i want to continue to do what did bring the people that just forget that the work you can pay a bite of the democrats any topic you want to name we have is not like it never happened we have the experience of bush we have the experience of job and people don't know that what's with that you know it is there's no point greater white privilege that assuming that your vote doesn't have

privilege yes so much white privilege yeah black for and brown gay and you but all of our friends like there ain't no do you want to go we have one here's one yeah my husband and i about talk this a lot and we frame it around uh home makeover shows right like you know those home makeover shows where they give the owner of the house a sledgehammer and let him go to town on a wall knocking it down breaking it down burning it down whatever right it's because demolition does not take any skill right unless you are trying to preserve something unless you're trying to preserve the foundation of the house or you're trying to preserve like the support beams of the house that keep the roof from falling in on your head other than that they give the owner a sledgehammer and say go easy because demolition takes no skill and because the homeowner has already trusted that the developer and the builder is not going to allow them to break down anything that is important or super important to the structural foundation of the house so all y all out there who are hollering about vote third party or don't vote for the democrats or don't vote for joe biden or whatever y 'all are homeowners with

A highlight from LST9 The Passion of St. Therese The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux with Fr. Timothy Gallagher Discerning Hearts Podcast
"The asserting hearts .com in cooperation with the oblates of the Virgin Mary presents the letters of St. Therese of the suit with Father Timothy Gallagher Father Gallagher is a member of the oblates of the Virgin Mary a religious community dedicated to retreats and spiritual direction according to the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola He is featured on several series found on the eternal word television network He is also author of numerous books on the spiritual teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the venerable Bruno Lanteri founder of the oblates of the Virgin Mary as well as other works focused on aspects of the spiritual life The letters of St. Therese of the suit with Father Timothy Gallagher, I'm your host Chris McGregor So this is May 9th of her final year she dies September 30th The symptoms are not yet at their worst. It's tuberculosis. It was tuberculosis that would take her life We've mentioned earlier from a very early age Therese, she had bronchitis every winter and she had whooping cough very often For several years the sisters had already noticed that her voice would get hoarse in the morning and in the evening Her cousin Marie who was the daughter of the pharmacist and whose letters are very helpful because she has a bit of the Doctor's eye and she describes more clearly than any of the others the symptoms Therese is undergoing as she's writing to family members and others They were worried. They could see that something was not right and a year earlier on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. She has that coughing up of blood Which almost incredibly was not taken as seriously as it should have been Now Therese herself to be fair in all of this Therese herself is in part if we can say this of a saint to blame because She minimized the symptoms she hid them as long as she could in fact when she had that bleeding She never said anything to her sister Pauline who only found out much later because she didn't want them worrying about herself and She struggled to keep up with the discipline and the the daily or Arrium and so forth of the monastery Carry out her tasks even at times just even to walk up the steps. She would almost have to stop at each step She would go through the day with fever and chills all of this has been going on but The symptoms will get to their worst in August where she has a month of excruciating pain But the tuberculosis is progressive and what it's doing is it's eating up the lungs and it's progressively getting harder and harder for her to breathe So a book by this Bishop whom I mentioned as perhaps the primary scholar of Therese He's not a dry academic he loves her and he writes well about her and with great knowledge This book is entitled the passion of Therese of this year, and it's by Bishop Guy Gaucher G -a -u -c -h -e -r And in one chapter in this book, he describes the symptoms that Therese undergoes with the tuberculosis So he entitles this section here from Therese words. I didn't expect to suffer like this. Oh Some of the remedies that were done and Therese bore them She knew they were going to be useless She's like her mother in this. Zelie never had much faith in the remedies The doctors would offer. Of course medicine was not at its present level at that time I'll only mention one of them which is just kind of hard for us to imagine It was called pointe de feu points of fire and what would happen was they thought to increase circulation to help the body a Needle would be heated to where it was red -hot and it would be applied to the skin of the person and Therese had this done several times up to 500 applications of these needles like this Now you can imagine the condition in which she would return to her her room or her infirmary the infirmary She bore all of these things, you know gives a whole new meaning to her expression about thousand little pinpricks. Oh My goodness, is that a possibility of something that I mean in that experience, I mean it gives it a whole new dimension, doesn't it? Well, it's really hard for us to imagine You know the kinds of things that end and diet foods that were just very difficult for her to eat and so forth You know it was and some other things I won't get into all the details But part of her martyrdom is really the only word for it Was the medical attention such as it was that she was given because she was also left without medical help At times when she desperately needed it and also morphine was available to sedate pain But the superior never allowed it now to be fair to the superior when she later herself She died of cancer a very painful death. She would not use it herself It was just considered something that nuns would not use, you know So it was not as though she was simply being cruel to Torres and although in effect it meant that Torres bore excruciating pain with no mitigation at all in these last months of her life But it was not necessarily out of bad will There were also other things involved There was a doctor who was the regular doctor for the Carmel and who was a friend of the superior and good man One of his sons was a priest But when he was away at times a family doctor that this actually was the husband that her cousin Jean married Could have come and helped but the superior just really didn't didn't want that So especially during that month of August when she went through the worst of her pain She had no medical attention during that time. Can I ask you this? I mean What would those sisters going through her blood sister is going through watching this? With this superior that didn't seem to be responsive. I It was terrible. In fact Surreptitiously on a few occasions they mixed a little morphine into drinks and things they did the best they could To try to help her in that situation. This was Torres of the child Jesus and of the holy face very much It's her passion. That's the title of this book that we're quoting So I'm just going to list the symptoms now these symptoms as I'm as I'm saying We're not yet at this stage in May when the letter that we're reading was written But they indicate throughout this time to res continued to respond to letters there was a seminarian Maurice Belair and The very nice book has been written on this by Bishop Patrick Ahern. That's Maurice resin Maurice the story of a love a seminarian who was really struggling Wrote to the Carmel asked if a sister could pray for him the prioress asked her as to do this So in this last year and a half or so of her life You have this handful of letters that he writes And then her response. It's always the same he respites rights discouraged by his failures He writes back to encourage him. God is calling you to be a saint. I know it you can do it But especially for this I'll just quote this one instance because his need was so great in the midst of these kinds of pains And with a trembling hand with the pencil Torres would write sometimes even lengthy responses to these people So that's when you read them on a page. It looks like they're nice Sedate letters that that was not the case All right to describe the symptoms of the tuberculosis So the bishop says fever and profuse sweating for six months So that does include this may that we're looking at Torres suffered from a fever which fluctuated Sometimes her back was burning like fire Sometimes she was perspiring so much. She became dehydrated Digestive troubles Torres suffered frequently from nausea often losing her meals even before she became bedridden The doctor prescribed milk for her. She had never liked it. She could not digest it She continued to take it forced it down knowing what would happen Respiratory troubles as the tuberculosis spread through the lungs Torres suffered pains first in her right shoulder and arms then in her left side the continual cough emaciation Strikingly when you look at the photos of Torres and this is typical from what I've read about this her face looks unchanged Her face looks healthy and all the photos that you see and in fact This was one reason why many of the sisters didn't really believe she was very ill to look at her She seemed fine So she didn't get a lot of sympathy from many in the Carmel as as she went through this But underneath the habit she was becoming a skeleton Normally the face of a person suffering from tuberculosis takes on certain characteristics, but Torres face remained almost the same Her voluminous Carmelite habit hid her thin thinness and her face was full Only her thin hands betrayed her That's all you could see through the habit and gave the lie to the healthy look and the emaciation itself caused various afflictions weakness powerlessness and distress People suffering from tuberculosis like this obviously would have deep emotional discouragement and depression and pain They did the prodigious remedies customary at the time but ridiculous today do anything to alleviate all this suffering Basically the answer to that is no that they really didn't do much Right, that's and of course add to this that Torres is in the heart of the spiritual darkness at this point Which is centered on? This sense powerful in her that heaven is not real that when we die everything is over and She is making more acts of faith as she'll say than ever in her life at this point She writes these lovely poems about eternal life the sisters comment on it and she says I am writing about what I wish to believe So she is this is a martyrdom, you know This is a passion that Torres is going through and that's the context of this letter that she's writing So this is the second Person this case already ordained a priest that she was asked to accompany spiritually and it was a father Adolph Rulong Who was destined for the missions in China where he actually spent 13 years? He stopped by the Carmel at one point can't say that he and Torres actually saw each other because the grill was in between Although they tried to work it so that Torres was the last one.

It's the Perfect Time to Level Up With Radical Self-Compassion
"I was all set to talk about this on the podcast yesterday, but couldn't, because I just couldn't get through the emotions. But I tried on a few pair of jeans over the last couple of weeks, and literally nothing fits. And so for me, that was planting a seed of really negatively looking at myself and my body. It followed through to what I ate. I've definitely this past weekend started some old habits of restrictive eating. Thankfully, I have the tools to connect on that and talk about it, and again, apply this radical self -care, but I'm no different than any of you. I literally needed to stop the bleeding and trace it back to what happened. Jeans didn't fit you. I let that seed get planted. Restricted eating all weekend. Let that seed get nourished. All of that negativity, I started to really pour into that seed that never had a place in my garden, never had a place in my soil. And this is so critical, you guys, because if I would have just thrown that seed out and talked to myself with some realization as I was trying on these jeans, legit, one of the jeans that I tried on were Juniors. And I didn't realize that when I bought it, but it threw me into a tailspin, because here I am thinking that I'm doing all this great workout, I'm doing all these great things, I'm contributing, I'm writing, I'm being creative, and yet jeans, fucking jeans, is what throws me off my path? That's ridiculous when I talk about it out loud. But it is reality. And so luckily yesterday, when Yanni and I sat down to record an episode, you know, I said, you take this one. I am not in the place to show up for a community day. And literally it was over these negative seeds that I had been planting from the week before. And it's just something that, again, is so small and so simple, but has this compounding effect in the negative that we don't want for anyone. And so when I talk about radical self -compassion, I'm talking more than self -care. I'm talking really giving yourself compassion. And speaking to yourself in a way that you would speak to any of your close friends. You should be speaking to yourself in the way that you would speak to your daughter. And I would never be caught dead telling my daughter that she needs to get smaller to fit in a damn pair of jeans. Because that is not right, and that is not the world that I want her to live in. And it is not the world that we will live in. And so I'm holding myself accountable on that and giving myself compassion. And as I continued to make mistakes, because it's just been a crazy wacky week, I will continue to talk out loud to myself and say, it is OK. You are human. Everybody makes mistakes. Mistakes sometimes are meant to be right. All of these things that happened to me literally brought me to the place that I needed to be, which is, if you can hear, on my walk right now. The leaves are crunching. I needed to be in nature. This was not on the plan either. This walk was not on the schedule. But this is where I needed to be right now with you walking it through. And so this is going to be something that I can tweak into the next 30 days to say, OK, where am I going next? Next is just tightening up a little bit, right? Like yesterday, I was talking to some co -workers and, you know, just level setting on the stresses that come with the end of the year. They're unavoidable. It's crazed. And things that we need to do to really get ourselves together is we need to detox a little bit. We need to put ourselves around the people that matter and care for us. Right. This is not the time to be stretching yourself above and beyond. This is the time to be doing radical self -care, radical self -compassion. The other humongous thing is the doom scroll, which I am fall victim to all of the time. It literally sucks up hours of my life. And so something I'm committing to over the next 40 plus days. This latter half of the year is to really detox from social media because I have a goal. My goal is to make this Christmas season one of the most wholesome and connected ones yet.

Thinking Crypto News & Interviews
A highlight from Jean-Luc Ramdin Interview - How to Recover Crypto Funds Stuck on FTX, Celsius, & Voyager with Cherokee Acquisition
"Welcome to the Thinking Crypto podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. With me today is Jean -Luc Ramdin, who is a sales and training analyst at Cherokee Acquisition. And we're going to discuss Cherokee Acquisition's different services as it relates to bankruptcies in the crypto industry. Jean -Luc, great to have you on. Thank you. Appreciate being on. Jean -Luc, Cherokee has a pretty unique service that you're offering to many of the folks affected by the bankruptcies in the crypto industry, such as FTX, BlockFi, Celsius and much more. Can you tell us about Cherokee Acquisition and the different services that you provide? Sure. So Cherokee Acquisition and Claims Market, we're a specialized investment bank and we work with Chapter 11 bankruptcy claims specifically in the crypto cases such as FTX, Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, Genesys. And we simply offer creditors immediate liquidity within those cases. So let's say I was an FTX user and let's say I had $100 ,000 in funds stuck on FTX and of a trial right now and a bankruptcy proceedings, I can't access my funds. So Cherokee can come and buy that, how would you phrase that, that lien, so to speak, or that amount? Can you tell us about that process? Yeah, sure. So the main sort of source of Cherokee is our curated marketplace where we trade those claims to over 40 onboarded buyers who are institutional funds, hedge funds, things of that nature, and they simply compete and bid for that claim and therefore it gets the seller the best price because there's competition and the buyers are also happy because there's a pool of claims that they can then seek to purchase. So walk us through the process of, you know, let's say I don't, I'm assuming I don't want to wait for this whole bankruptcy process, but I need to have the money. I can use Cherokee acquisition and the marketplace to get some money or liquidity for those claims. Is that just behind it? Yeah, 100%, you know, FTX, the petition date was November the 11th, 2022. And of course, nobody is aware of when the case is going to end or when distributions will occur, which are likely to be multiple distributions in segments down the line. So, you know, as a creditor, maybe you have a million dollar claim and you're like, well, you know, I want, I need to pay for certain expenses, whether it's with the business or individually, or maybe you say to yourself that you'd rather reinvest those, that liquidity back into the crypto markets. And so you'd prefer a slight discount to take the funds now rather than wait, however, many years to get a percentage that truthfully, nobody knows what percentage that will be from the debtor. Yeah. And, and to your point, no one knows, and there's so many complications involved in it, because also it depends on what the liquidation price is for this set assets, right? Because they pull it all together and they may sell it in increments. We don't know when or where, and what's your cut, right? And there's such a long line of creditors, you know, when will you be your turn? But using your service, I can, you know, get some returns at least, or some of my money return in a way. So tell us about the folks who are buying these claims and why would they do that? You know, I think that that's going to be a big question for folks. Yeah, sure. Well, it's fairly simple. There's some distressed hedge funds out there and they simply see a potential investment opportunity, which obviously they take the risk of the upside and they take the risk of the downside when distributions come. So I think some creditors have the, have the understanding that, oh, well, if people are buying claims, then automatically that means that the distribution from the debtor is going to be significantly higher as what the price is I'm getting now, but that isn't always the case. It's an investment like in anything else. But I think the good thing for creditors is that this is an option for them. And you know, often you might have one or two buyers coming in, but the great benefit with claims markets is that our over 40 onboarded buyers, they've already signed documentation to purchase claims. If they were to purchase claims at the listed price on our platform, then they have to pay within 48 hours business days. So I think that's very, very good because that way it's not sort of like an eBay marketplace where you're just sort of, here's my claim, I'm selling it. You get bids, you reject it. The good thing about it is that the price that you list that is that desired price. So if you do not get bid that price, there's no obligation to sell, which is the benefit. However, if you do get bid at the price you listed at, then there's the obligation to of course receive liquidity at the price you asked for within two days. Yeah. And I could certainly see a lot of folks using your service because there are many folks who had lost funds at Celsius. Some I know personally, some I've read about and even with FTX and so forth, they lost their funds. So this is a great option to at least restore some of those funds. Can you show us the marketplace and the process to get this going? Of course, yeah, no problem. This is claims market as you can see on our website. We have our pricing transparently displayed there as well as our transaction history. So I think it's a number around about over 125 million or over 130 million sold in crypto claims in the past year, which is pretty incredible. So you can see that when the claim was listed and when they were sold. And it's usually within a few days. So I think from a creditors standpoint, they're not listing their claim up for multiple weeks in something that is binding. They get to list their claim and receive bids sometimes in the same day or very soon. And I think that's a very, very good benefit. And then our pricing FTX claims is sort of generic for large claims. It's between 50 and 53%, but of course, pricing can slightly rise depending on the size of the claim or slightly fall. And it's also dependent upon preference risk. And that is something which a concept not many creditors are aware of, but simply preference is a bankruptcy rule where it's stated that any withdrawals within a 90 -day period in is deemed as property of the estate. So what that means is if you are a net withdrawal 10 days before November the 11th, then that affects the claim price slightly. Got it. That makes sense. So now let's say I have $500 ,000, right, stuck on FTX. I can claim it. I can go on here and I can say, hey, can I get at least $450 ,000? I could ask that. Now let's say a buyer comes in and they bid $400 ,000 instead. And I can accept that bid. And how would the payment and all these things be processed? Sure. So the payment is usually in USD to a bank wire transfer. However, there is the option for a crypto listing to receive payment in stablecoin, but that slightly can reduce buyer demand or the pool of investors simply because not everybody has the facilities to do so. But listing at a reasonable price is something that is in conversation with the seller. And that is why we have this bid on our spread, because, of course, our role is to ensure that the seller can get the best price. And also the buyer has even an equal opportunity as other buyers as well. Yeah, for sure. So tell us about your fees and that process. I'm assuming you as the broker, so to speak, you're getting a respective fee and what's that amount? Sure. And that's the great thing about it. There's no fees to the sellers, only a fee from the buyer side. So that is a big positive because that way, of course, you know, creditors have already lost some level of funds and so we wouldn't want them to then lose more. And so there's no fees from the seller side, which is why really it's just upside to have your claim listed. And especially with, as you can see, the sort of speed of transactions occurring from listing to being sold is fairly fast as well. So yeah, I think that's a great positive. Oh, that's great. Yeah. I'm glad that, like you said, there's no fees to the seller, just the buyer, which is more on the hedge funds side and things like that. They can afford it, right? So in addition to FTX, are there other bankruptcy cases that are still active, like Celsius, BlockFi, Voyager, and so forth? For sure. Oh, yes. So, you know, even though Celsius is coming to a close slightly, there are still some claims being traded because people would still like liquidity and Genesis still active, BlockFi, and of course, FTX, which is the main one, just because there's so many creditors. I think there's over 1 .3 million out there who honestly, most may not even know this is an option. So it's really, we believe in transparency and we believe in education. That's why, you know, we have our Twitter page, which is active, putting out information out there. And that is why our pricing is transparent on our website. And just to mention as well, our documents are as well. So the simple assignment of claim, as you scroll down here, is a document which, you know, sellers sign with their crypto assets based upon petition date, the pricing they'll receive and the percentage. So that's something that people can publicly view and review, which is great. And we also have our company video here as well to just get an insight into, you know, I guess the environment and the people working at the office. So yeah, we definitely believe in transparency and providing the most amount of information to creditors. That's great. And is your service available worldwide or is it just US users? Yeah, worldwide. So, you know, honestly, most sellers are domiciled outside of the US. And so being in another country, it doesn't affect the price of your claim or anything like that. You know, maybe there's one or two countries that could make things a little bit more difficult. But besides that, that's absolutely no problem at all. Oh, that's great. This is a great service. And I think it will help a lot of people who, you know, they're stuck and unfairly so because of what took place in the crypto industry last year and all of these bankruptcies. And like I said, I know a lot of people, even some neighbors who, like, for example, I know one neighbor has some fun stock on Voyager, so I'm going to let him know about this. This is a great service and can really bring relief to a lot of people. So Jean -Luc, so with all this said, with the overview of how the service works and so forth, tell us about the folks who are listening who want to go sign up and, you know, go through the process from A to Z. Yeah, sure. So it's very simple. You can simply sign up through the website and depending on your claim size, there'll be different pricing. But the main thing is really to send some form of information so we can review that claim, which in FTX's case, the unique customer code from CRO is very useful because that way we can search your claim up in the Schedule F document and source the exact size of your claim from petition date. And also as well, having the KYC sent to us, the screenshot of that approval in the portal is very useful as well, simply because then we know that KYC has been approved or at least partially approved so we can move forward. And one of the documents is the SAC, Simple Assignment of Claim, and that is very useful and it's simply stating the percentage that you'll receive and the claim size. And then once that is signed from the seller's side, that way we can collect a couple of more docs, list that claim and package that up for the buyers to view in the best way. So we do some form of diligence, of course, to make sure everything is correct with the calculations and that the documentation is provided. I think the great thing is that we can help get claims listed very, very fast time span. So usually within one to two days, we can have everything ready to be listed, which is very useful. Oh, that's great. That's a fast turnaround time. Well, folks, links will be in the description to go check out Cherokee Acquisition and this service. And it could certainly help you all in getting back some of your funds, which may be blocked FTX on and other crypto platforms. Jean -Luc, great stuff. Thank you for joining me. Thank you.

What Did Nikki Haley Do as Governor?
"At Disney. She offered to take action to South Carolina. She undermined him completely. She seems to forget she was the ambassador United to Nations the under Donald Trump. The policies she espoused about Israel were his policies, not her policies. She may agree with them, but she wasn't president. And what you do as an ambassador to the UN is you give speeches. And that's okay. We had a great ambassador to the UN when I worked in the Reagan administration, Jean Kirkpatrick. Now she could give a speech. So I'm not diminishing her speeches. But in terms of policy, that was the Trump policy. Haley And just trashes Trump all the time. She even goes so far as to say that she doesn't think he'd be as pro -Israel as he may have been or may have been perceived. That's a shot below the belt, don't you think, America? Now, say what you will, I can tell you 20

Generally, she will take over on Thursday and Friday. I do want to talk to you this morning about it's an unbelievable thing for me to hear Corrine Jean -Pierre yesterday. I mean, it's actually unbelievable, but a lot of people have heard it. But on the chance that you haven't, let's play cut 27 from the White House President Biden's spokesperson, Corrine Jean -Pierre. Concern right now about the potential rise of anti -Semitism in light of everything that's going on in Israel. So a couple of things. Look, we have not seen any credible threats. I know there's been always questions about credible threats. And so I just want to make sure that that's out there. But look, Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate fueled attacks. And certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim Arab Arab Americans and Palestinian American loved ones and neighbors are worried about the hate being directed at their communities. And that is something you heard the president speak to in his. All right. The question was about the rise in anti -Semitism in the United States. And it's everywhere. I mean, anywhere you look, it's everywhere. Last night, a video was posted of a television person who went home to their apartment. There was a pro intifada demonstration in front of the apartment. It's not hard to find the evidence. I told you about Manhattan Beach Public Schools. I've told you about it. And yes, we know about the attack on the Palestinian boy that killed him and has severely wounded his mother, you know, two weeks ago and denounced it. But the question was about anti -Semitic attacks. And the answer was about Islamophobia. And I think that fairly reflects exactly where most of the Biden administration is. They're not with Israel. They're not with Israel. It's all the Obama people. Yesterday, Ben Rhodes popped up his head and Lucas Tomlinson, I think it was Lucas, found it. And he wrote this, Israel has legitimate security concerns and has the right to go after the military wing of Hamas, a faction that has proven to be the worst version of itself. What in the world does that mean? Does that mean there's a good Hamas? Ben Rhodes is not in the administration, but everyone he worked with is. And Obamaism completely infiltrates and controls the Biden administration. And the lead story, last night, there were 400 airstrikes in Gaza by the IDF. They're getting ready to go in. But the lead story in The New York Times and is US raises concern about Israel's plan of action in Gaza. The United States says, look, you know, maybe you want to do Mosul, or maybe you want, you don't want to do Fallujah in 2004. You know what? We did Fallujah in 2004. And we did Mosul in 2017. And we could afford it. And we didn't have to mobilize the entire country to do it. And it was standoff warfare. Israel can't have that luxury. They've got a army of fanatical killers, many of whom are high on captagon to their south. They got an army of jihadists to their north, and they got Iran paying for both. They do not have the luxury of the United States, directing prolonged ground assaults in Mosul or air assaults in Mosul and the bloody ground assault in Fallujah 2004. These armchair MIDI specialists in the Biden administration are pulling back. I'm going to talk with Mike Lauren about this at the bottom of the hour. Don't go anywhere. There's a lot of news. The House Republicans haven't got to speak yet. There's up today. Maybe they will. We don't know. And Morgan will update you on that tomorrow. But I'm mostly concerned that we're quite obviously pulling back Israel, the bear hug. And I don't know if any of you ever read the Chronicles of Narnia. I really don't. And it's their children book that aren't children's books. But they're fabulous. And I'm remembering vaguely the Prince Caspian, I think it's the fourth book in the series, where the children who have been drawn in through the wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe go back. And thousands of years have passed in Narnia. And they cannot figure out what is going on. And they cannot see what is happening in front of them. And they don't want to believe what's going on in their beloved Narnia. And they just simply refuse to see. One of them sees Lucy, and then Edmund, and then finally Peter, but Susan never sees. I think I remember this correctly. Never admit seeing, although she always did. That's where we are right now. A lot of people in America don't want to admit where Israel is, surrounded by fanatics with massacre of 1400 and 228 or 248 of their people held hostage. So Hamas releases too, and Americans say, well, let's slow down. I don't think so. There's one world in which the Israelis live, and we'll talk with Michael Oren about that. And then there's another world where the Wendy Shermans and the Ben Rhodes and the other defeatists and round -heeled beltway foreign policy blob lives. And that's not where Israel can afford to live. President Trump last night, former President Trump last night in New Hampshire, what spelled out is the problem here by bringing up Iran. Now, he made a question about Iran and Biden. I want you to hear it. Cut number six. We have to bring our country back. It's not, it's not an easy thing to do. Would you believe what's happened to the USA in the last three years? But I will immediately reinstate all sanctions on the murderous Iranian regime. You have to do that. So we have a deal. That is the key. All right. We've got to crush Iran. Iran is really at war with Israel from the north and the south. And the biggest threat immediately for Israel is up for Israel to determine. I don't know what they're going to do. And I don't know how they're going to do it. And America should not be holding them back. The former president also talked about Iranian energy exports, which have funded all of this nightmare. Cut number 11. I will shut down Iranian energy and I'll unlock American energy like never before. And we will once again make the Iranian dictatorship very poor.

We could create entire new states out of the amount of illegal immigrants who have come to America under his watch. Why would he want that? Why is he allowing this to happen?

I'm a Christian, the guy said. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian from Georgia. And, you know, here's what's great. This is what's wonderful when we hear evil like that. And incidentally, we're I'm not going to limit this to Hamas supporters anymore. I can't take much more of this. So I'm opening the phones to everybody. Eight hundred six five five, Mike. And I don't know, some people are saying, hey, these people aren't evil. They're just stupid. And, you know, you could sit around and go through how factually wrong they are about. Israel took the land from the Palestinians and all they want is the land back. The Palestinians have waterfront property that could be a paradise called Gaza. And because the Palestinians and Hamas believe in wiping all of Israel off the face of the map, all they want to do is commit acts of terror and kill innocent people in Israel as some kind of revenge for 1948. And we got people calling this show acting like that makes sense to them. Then again, we got a guy who just said he's a Christian who thinks lopping the heads off of little babies is OK. So their whole world is upside down. But here's the good news. And I've really, really good news. It's not good news. It's great news. Good will always triumph over evil. A couple a week and a half ago, when this first happened, I said, what can we do to help the victims of these butchers of Hamas? What can we do? And our partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was born. We put it together very quickly. The goal was thirty thousand dollars. We're sitting right now at nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars of aid to the Israelis who have lost so much, providing armored ambulances so that they the bombs can be deflected, providing toys for these beautiful little children who are hunkered down in bomb shelters, providing medicine and medical supplies. After hearing what we've heard today, I expect that you are going to step up in a major way. I was going to be happy at one hundred and fifty thousand. I think we might hit two hundred thousand, especially after hearing what we've just heard today. Please go to Mike online dot com and click on the Israel at war banner to make your emergency donation. You could make a one time donation. You could make a recurring donation. This is a beautiful organization. Yael Eckstein has been so profound in the support for for these Jewish people of Israel. And I am overwhelmed by your generosity. People keep looking at this show and they say, man, my gosh, Gallagher's audience donated over five times the original goal. And after hearing what you just heard, I'll bet you it's going to go a lot higher. Go to Mike online dot com, click on the Israel at war banner, or you could phone in your donation to eight hundred eight four five eight eight four four eight hundred eight four five eight eight four four.

We'll send you back a quick link where you could make a donation right from your phone. No obligation either. We'll just send you back the link and then you can decide how to give if you'd like to give. That's how we counter the evil you just heard. That's how we circumvent it. Good will triumph.

All I got to do is text the keyword stand to eight hundred six five five. Mike, here's Tennessee. Hey, remember, God heard those two guys today taking names. And Mike, thank you for opening up the phones to everybody now, because I can't take much more of this evil. And I understand I really I this evil mentality. These are people all around us. And I just got the most gratifying text message from Mike in Columbus, Ohio. Let me share this. I get a little I got a little emotional when I saw it a few minutes ago. Mike wrote, Mike, you mentioned Hamas and its supporters listening to your show and the anti -Semitism in America, making you consider throwing in the towel. I understand how you feel, but you shouldn't do this. Your show makes people think people who are thinking sometimes change their minds. Even the most radical people do at times, even on the most radical of subjects, when a mind is changed on a subject as undeniably evil as supporting what Hamas did. You may not just be changing a mind. You may be saving a soul. Even when it's just one soul, you'll likely never meet. It's worth the work of a lifetime. My friend, remember that you don't just have a career. What you do rises to the level of a vocation. And we are all better for it. Mike, I hope you know how deeply your text has touched my heart. And of course, I'm not going to give up. Of course, I'm not going to throw in the towel. Of course, I feel obligated to come into this studio and share with you all the things that we're going through together. And we're going through a lot. We're going through a lot. Go to the White House yesterday. You want to hear how bad it gets? Wait until you hear how Karine Jean -Pierre responded to a question about all the anti -Semitism we're seeing in America. Honest to goodness, I keep saying this over and over again. I think people hear this show and they don't believe it. Wait until you hear what she said. This was yesterday's White House press briefing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Karine Jean-Pierre Refused to Condemn Anti-Semitism on Campuses
"It's bad. Here's Karine Jean jump here. When she was asked about this, this is a cut age. She was asked about anti -Semitism on college campuses. And I want you to notice how she immediately pivots away it from the question because the Biden administration doesn't give a damn about anti -Semitism on college campuses because they're preferred their people over there. They think they're going to replace American Jews with a bunch of radical crazies. They don't They don't really care. That's why they don't want to condemn anti -Semitism and can't do it. Notice number one how she can't condemn it. And again, And how Karine Jean -Pierre, a fraud, a human garbage pile who has never spent her entire career trying to censor conservatives all of a sudden cares about the First Amendment. Check this out. Does the president view anti -Israel protests and sentiment on college campuses as -Semitism? anti So look, I'm not going to get into what's happening across the country and at different universities. not I'm going to get into the specifics, as the admiral said, the First Amendment. Right. Right. It's a really part of a part of our democracy, being able for folks to to to be able to express their feelings. I'm not going to get into any specifics on that. The president has been very clear in wanting to make sure that Jewish Americans, wanting to make sure that Arab Americans, Muslims are protected here. That is what he believes in, that we they have the right to
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from Three Lessons from the Book of Exodus: Charlie's Speech to Colorado Christian Academy
"I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created. Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Okay, please take a seat. I'm going to close this. Okay, so I want to get to question and answer because I think that's actually the most fun, and I have a feeling there's a lot of questions. There's a lot I could talk about. First, I just want to say there's something really exciting happening in the country where I'm getting invited to speak at schools like this all across the country that didn't exist a decade ago, where parents are starting to rise up and start new communities and start new schools. This is exactly what is necessary in the country right now. Because there if is a woke private school and a failed public school, just start a new school. And we are really good at starting new things. We're really bad at preserving our things from getting captured and infiltrated. That's a separate issue. They're experts at infiltration, experts at destabilization. But I just want to compliment and commend the whole team here. Think really big because the demand is greater than you could ever imagine. I Colorado. love I hate what these people have done to it. And you have to think multigenerationally. You really do. And that's why this effort is so incredibly important. And you have no idea the child that you might be helping educate at Colorado Christian, the impact that they might make. You have no idea if they might be a changemaker, an entrepreneur, a senator, a congressman, something beyond your wildest imagination. Or the most important thing, a loyal husband and wife and someone who loves the Lord, honestly, even beyond a massive changemaker. So I'm going to actually talk about my favorite book of the Bible. I don't think you'll really guess it. It's funny. I love the word and I love what it does to you through different walks of life. And because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've decided to go through the first five books of the Bible in original Hebrew and go verse by verse. If you want a really big challenge, do that. Just finished Leviticus. That's no fun at all. It's unbelievably awesome as a Christian to read Leviticus for many different reasons. And it's amazing. But my favorite book of the Bible is the book of Exodus. And it's not quoted enough or understood enough. And I really think that there's more parallels for what we're living through right now in the book of Exodus than almost any other part of the word. I And so was studying and studying Exodus and so much pops out. So I'm going to go three lessons that I think we as believers, we as patriots, can derive from the book of Exodus. And some you say, OK, I've heard that one before. But I guarantee you I'm going to isolate a verse that you've probably never heard any pastor ever isolate. It's just kind of what I call a flyover verse. You know what I'm talking about? Where you just kind of skim. You're like, OK, let's go. You know, it's like the verse before John 3 16, John 3 15 and John 3 17. Does anyone know those? Probably not. Well, maybe in this room. But very few people do, right? It's a flyover verse. So it's first important to remember Exodus in Greek means the way out. Ex hodos, right? And the actual labeling of the verse is Israelites oppressed or the captivity in Egypt. The whole Old Testament, the first five books of the Bible of the word of God is centered around Egypt. Egypt is actually the villain of the Torah. Egypt is tyranny. Egypt is authoritarianism. Egypt is paganism. Egypt is godlessness. Egypt is one size fits all rule. Said differently, Egypt is the Biden administration. And so now if I offended you, you're in the wrong dinner. I'm sorry. Like so and the whole Bible is written even in Genesis. It's written as a refutation of Egypt. And if you know anything, devout Jews will tell you that the Exodus is the most important thing. Creation and Exodus are the two most important parts of Jewish life, right? Whether it be the Passover Seder, whether it be the Shema, whatever it is, Egypt is the whole ballgame, right? And like remember how we were delivered from Egypt and I'll dive into that. So there's this amazing thing and you remember the end of Genesis, right? Joseph does this remarkable stuff. He doesn't do it. God doesn't through Joseph and he's just a messenger. And he basically saves Egypt from famine and from starvation and saves the whole civilization, right? And the first chapter of Exodus sets up the whole, it's what I call the turning point chapter and we're living through this right now in America. And this is why Christian education is so important and why supporting this academy is so important. And it's a verse that you would just kind of read over and like, okay, yeah, whatever. Then rose a king over Egypt who did not know Joseph. Okay, Charlie, what's the big deal? That's exactly what's happening on university campuses across the country. Then rose a generation that did not know George Washington. Then rose a generation who did not know Abraham Lincoln. You get tyranny when you forget the sacrifices that were made before you. You get tyranny when you don't know your history. Right there, the entire book of Exodus gets set up. So here's Joseph that through God saves them from famine, saves them from starvation. The Egyptians should have statues made to Joseph. They should have songs made to Joseph. But all it took was one king who didn't have the memory of what Joseph did before. And then what happens? That king rises and everything changes. He says, who are these Israelites? They multiply like insects. Let's get rid of these guys. If you fail to pass down your values from one generation to the other, you can quickly all of a sudden get authoritarianism, tyranny, murder, genocide very, very quickly. It can happen in one generation. And I don't think we as Christians isolate this teaching enough because we act as if it happens automatically sometimes. Like, oh, I can send my kid to government school and they'll still share my values. You know, we go to church once a quarter and, you know, we listen to Christian music, you know, every so often and, you know, like through osmosis. And even in the cocktail reception, people come up to me and they say, Charlie, how am I supposed to deal with kids that don't share my values? How did this happen? And my question is always the same. You know, what college did they go to? Always. And in this case, it was Northwestern in Michigan, right? So nice selections. But again, I'm not picking on you guys. It's a very sweet couple. But it was just stood out, right? And you're here tonight because you want your children to share your values, that you want your children to live in liberty. And so that verse right there should be our mission statement. We never want to have a king or a sovereign, the people, ever not know the sacrifices that were made before. When I visit college campuses, and I visit college campuses so you don't have to, I am told, Charlie, the founders were a bunch of racist old dead white guys. We're a colonistic, colonialistic, misogynistic, homophobic, terrible country. That's a generation that did not know Joseph. So then all of a sudden they have a willingness and openness for tyranny, for totalitarianism, authoritarianism, because that is actually how we are naturally programmed. I actually didn't plan to talk about this, but it's just a little bit of a side note. The human being wants to be taken care of far more than they want to be free. Freedom is a value. You naturally do not want to be free. And if you disagree, you are not paying attention during COVID. People that were otherwise some of the most rational people that I knew lost their bloody mind masks wearing in a car alone because they wanted to be told what to do. Freedom requires risk. You cannot be free without chance. You can't have both. If you want to have everything taken care of, go commit a federal crime, or just become a conservative, because inevitably you'll end up in federal prison, and then you'll go to jail. There's no freedom, but there is assuredness at prison. Three meals a day, bunk you don't have to pay for, you don't have to work for what you get. Prison is the opposite of freedom. And so here's the Israelites that are living in total totalitarianism because a king came who did not know what the previous generation did. The next verse, Exodus 1 17, one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible, and I screamed this at pastors, and I yelled it at pastors, and I was unsuccessful. And I'll tell you why. But the midwives to the Hebrews, as in the original Hebrew it says this, feared God. Now the verse before it, Exodus 1 16, the king who forgot Joseph was like, hey, murder all the firstborn, murder them all, kill the babies. Now we would know nothing about killing babies in our civilization. We're way more advanced than that, obviously. We would never do such a thing ever, obviously. Look how advanced we are. We have Twitter and air conditioning, right? So this is, I always laugh when people say the Bible is such a medieval text, we've advanced so far. Yeah, right. No, we just do the evil things quicker and better and quieter and more secretly. So of course, we're more advanced than that. But the king or the pharaoh says, kill the firstborn. And I love this. The midwives disobeyed Pharaoh because they feared God. And it goes on to say that the Hebrew is not a great translation. God dealt well with them or God found favor in them. God loves when you defy tyranny for liberty. That is the heart of God. God wants you to reject tyranny if it engages in somebody's life or interferes with their liberty. A regular woke skinny jean -wearing pastor will tell you, no, no, no, Romans 13, man, submit to the rulers and authority because God put them there for your good. And then I say, OK, rocket scientist, constitutional scholar, man, your TED Talk rock concert, a thing you call a church with organized parking and a coffee bar. Let ask me you, since you're super smart, who are the leaders in America exactly? In Romans 13, God put the leaders in authority because they're there for your good. Who are the leaders? And they say the mayors, the congressmen, the senators. No, no, the people are the authority. So when the people's rights are infringed, the mayors and the state senators and Governor Polis should be submitting to us. We don't submit to them. So I love this verse. And God dealt well with the midwives. Let me ask you, is the American church, are we as Christians fighting tyranny the way the midwives fought tyranny in Egypt? I don't think we're doing a good job. I don't. I think you guys are. I mean, there's an exception. But the large part of the American church, American Christianity is submit to the government authority, submit to the cultural tyranny, submit to the pressure of the day. Submit to what other people are saying. That is not what God wants. And by the way, it's not just in Exodus. In Daniel, Daniel disobeyed the king and still prayed his prayers, ended up in the lion's den, right? In Acts, it says we obey God, not man, time and time again. Psalm 97 10 is my favorite, one of my favorite verses of the Bible. I have a lot of favorite verses. If you love God, you must hate evil. I don't think that we as Christians are doing a good job fulfilling that verse. I hear all the time, but Charlie, we must be nice. And I say, great. Right by the other point. Where in the 66 books of the Bible does the word nice appear in Aramaic or Greek or Hebrew? Waiting. Ready, set, go. And they say, well, we have to be loving. I said, yeah, but what does loving mean? Tell me in the original Greek. You know, is it agape, storge, phileo? You know, they say, well, oh my goodness. We kind of had this discourse earlier. But we're not called to be nice. We're called to tell the truth. And honestly, we've done a pretty crummy job of telling the truth the last 30 years here in America. We have allowed the worst of all evil, institutionalize itself, go after our children. And I finally am starting to see a response. This school is evidence of a response to all this institutionalized evil. And the midwives feared God and God dealt well with them. If we want God to deal well with us, maybe we should start fighting for liberty against tyranny. So God delivers his chosen people out of Egypt. And every time you hear Egypt, just think tyranny. Every time, right? And so he delivers them out of Egypt, one of my favorite parts. They're in the desert, you know, God, 10 miracles, the sea is parted. And this is why I always laugh when atheists say, all I need to do is see a miracle and I'll believe in God. Like, no, you don't. Like next Tuesday, you'll forget about God, right? Because you have a heart problem. You are your own God, right? That's not true. The Hebrews saw God move in an amazing way. They get into the desert. Within days, they're complaining. That's all the Jews do the entire Old Testament. They complain and they complain and they complain. It's why God had to let them all die off and, you know, have Joshua generation going. He's like, these people are not ready for Israel. They complained way too much. We want melons, we want meat, we want all the cucumbers. Literally, translation. So they get into the desert and they say, we want to go back to Egypt, because at least we had meat. At least we had melons, at least we had leeks, at least we had cucumbers. They wanted slavery over freedom because they ate better. And God's like, what am I going to do with these people? And I honestly think that's, I agree with Dennis Prager on this. It's one of the reasons why God chose the Jews. If you could do it with this group of people, you could do it with any group of people, right? If you could get this group of misfits to be successful in finance and business and education, there's something to this book, right? There's something there that we can all learn from. Anyway, so God then, God is a God of order. We as Christians don't do a good enough job. It drives me nuts when Christians only say God is love. Yeah, but he's also other things, okay? He's like judging God. Oh, you can't say that. Well, it's true. Jesus will judge the sinners at the end of the age. One of the main reasons why the church has gone woke is you'll never hear the three -letter word that every person needs to hear, sin. How do you know what redemption is if you don't know what sin is? Unknown concept. We just tell people, oh, you're perfect the way you are. Actually, you're not. Like you're pretty crummy in Jesus, like really bad, like really bad. All of us do, all the time. And we're going to keep sinning and we keep on eating Jesus. And so God established order for us. Of course, the Decalogue being the Ten Commandments or the Ten Statements. And of course, it begins, I am the Lord your God who delivered you from Egypt. He reminds them before he gives him the Decalogue. Moses, the Decalogue. Just in case you forgot, I delivered you from tyranny. God's heart is not for people to live in tyranny. That's when it drives me nuts when people say, Charlie, you're too political as a Christian. Look, God calls us to fight authoritarianism all the time. So then, my favorite one of the commandments that comes tonight, that pertains to tonight, is the one that every one of you are vigilant and why you're here tonight. Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which God is giving you. And I'm going to spend the remainder of my remarks on this and then he'll do some questions. Everything that the culture is doing when it comes to anybody under 18 is about trying to is this commandment the most proven commandment to have a free society. If you were to say, Charlie, out of all the Ten Commandments, what is the one that if you stop doing, you get tyranny the fastest? You actually more so than murder, more so than stealing, more so than not even having any gods before God. If you do not honor your mother and father, and I'll tell you exactly what that means, you 100 % will lose a free society. You cannot have a group of young people that dishonor or curse, which is the opposite of honor, their parents, and also live in liberty. It has never happened in the history of the species. Now, I'm a student of history. I love history. If anyone can tell me an example of a superpower that went out of their way to teach their children to hate the country that they're in, I'm all ears. I think it's the first time it's ever happened in the history of the species, and I've asked many different historians. When a wealthy, powerful, benevolent superpower has decided to teach their young, we actually hate the place that is pretty awesome. It is civilizational suicide. There will be historians 50 to 100 years from now writing books and teaching college classes, trying to try to answer the America question. How could a country that did so much good in World War II be so wealthy, be the beacon of light and liberty, have so much opportunity for so many people, go out of its way? And my answer is very simple. When you are secular and you do not believe in God, you must fill it with fake religions. Don't believe me? Go drive in one of these neighborhoods like I just did. BLM, gay pride, those are the pagan religions of the day. You always have to fill it with some source of meaning, whether it be the false god of BLM or the false god of trans surgeries for kids, whatever it is. They have to feel an attachment to something, and it's out of guilt. If you don't know how to deal with your guilt, because everyone feels guilt at some point, you're going to do some pretty wacky stuff. And boy, are we living in a society that is just ridden with pity and guilt. Pity for ourselves and our own state of affairs, it's rather remarkable. But if you have a strong attachment to the generation that came before you, you can inoculate yourself against that virus. So let's go through it. It's the only one of the Ten Commandments that involves a direct promise and also your nation. So we talk about politics, we talk about our country, we should probably isolate the one of the Ten Commandments that deals with the country. So honor, what does that word mean in Hebrew? It means heavily or to treat with seriousness or intentionality. What does curse mean in Hebrew? Lightly, it's the same root. So if you were to treat your parents lightly, you were to curse them. Now what does that mean to honor your mother and father? It means that when you're at college, you enter college believing that your parents are more correct than your professors. That does not happen. Professors at almost every single university across the country go out of their way to invalidate everything a parent has taught them up until age 18. Your parents are outdated, they're probably racist, they're terrible. Oh by the way, thanks for paying to the tuition to bring you here, but we're going to turn you into little revolutionaries basically. Finally, honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in. Marxism depends on three things. The obliteration of religion, property, and family. Private property, they're doing a great job and they're going to continue to do it. Religion, church rates are going down dramatically and they've infiltrated the American church. But the family was always the one that was able to say no. And you are going to have to, someone's going to have to explain this to me, how so many suburban house moms here in Colorado want their kids to suffer. It is unbelievable to me. This is one of the most radical like trans sanctuaries in the entire country. It's not ISIL, I'm sure you all know families or kids where you have parents that are excited to go get their 15 -year -old's breasts removed. It's amazing to me. And so the family's totally getting obliterated and deteriorated. That's why this school matters so much though, and why what you're doing matters so much, is that a strong nuclear family is a bulwark to any form of tyranny or any sort of despotism that we live through. And is Marxism really the kind of diabolical, and I use that word intentionally, enemy to the American republic and the American project. As it aims to do these things, as it continues to try to put these ideas into the zeitgeist, we ask ourselves the question, how does one fight back against it? And that's why the rise of homeschool and this alternative schooling is so exciting. They want you to just release your kid to the public government school and never ask a question after that. If you actually read their literature, they don't believe that it's your child. It's the state's child. That's not an exaggeration. You might say, Charlie, how did Colorado get so wacky? You know Colorado is the second most educated state in the country? College -educated state? There is your answer. Is that if you are non -stop producing people with college diplomas that believe men can give birth and have degrees in North African lesbian poetry, don't be surprised when your politics go insane. I trust welders, plumbers and construction workers far more than any given professor at, no offense, CU Boulder. I'm sorry, I just have to say it. I'm sorry. And so we must build new things. And I mentioned this earlier, we do not do a good enough job of defending our institutions from infiltration because we let our guard down and they take advantage of our good intentions. How many times do you feel like, well, what's the big deal? I want to be accepting to all people. So here's the playbook. It's so simple. Get a seat at the table. Complain relentlessly till I'm able to debase the leader on fake accusations and then I control the institution. How many times have you seen that? FBI, military, university campuses, major corporations, and they're relentless. You know what they operate? They operate like a bacterial infection that will not go away, that will just gnaw and gnaw and grow and grow and multiply. And we're like, well, my goodness, the CRT, DEI people, they used to have two seats at the table. Now they have 10 seats at the table and I don't want to be called a racist because that's the worst thing that you could be called. And so let's just let them control everything. So how do you summarize CRT? Call everything racist until you control it. That's it. That's what CRT is. Queer theory, call everything transphobic until you control it. It's a means to power. It's not about liberation. It's not about teaching history. It's a means to institutional takeover. And so the alternative is once they take over everything, build new stuff. And that's what you're doing. And so my one piece of advice to you guys, build, be bold, but please be vigilant about them trying to capture your institution. Because they don't build new stuff. That's what's crazy. They don't ever build anything beautiful or bold. They just take over stuff that we have built with our value system. And then we're like, well, we used to have that great thing. We used to have that church and used to have that school and used to have that place and used to have that company. And so they're experts at takeover. And so building new things is quite honestly the only and the best option. So I'll say this in closing. I get asked all the time, Charlie, this is a Christian audience, Charlie, do you think that we're in the end times? And I'm not a pastor, I'm not a theologian. So I'm not equipped to answer that, but I can say this. I'm very concerned that people are being taken advantage of by some pastors out there where they say, Charlie, Jesus is coming next Thursday. I don't have to do anything. I don't have to fight. Look, people ask, are you pre -trib or are you post -trib? I'm pan -trib. It's all going to pan out in the end. So I'm on the welcoming committee, not the planning committee. Okay. So this whole thing is a bunch of, you know, it's somewhat of a distraction. And, but, you know, people say, Charlie, you know, we must look, yes, we must look at the signs at the time. It's important to know what it means in the days of Noah. All that stuff is great and really important. I understand that. However, here's where it drives me nuts and I see it happen. And I want to make sure this might, if this touches one of you tonight, I will have done my job. Okay. Because you might be listening to some of those overly emphasized end times pastors, and you might feel disempowered and you might feel like you don't have to do anything. If I could just reach one of you, I feel I've done my job, which is the right response is if you feel that the world is ending and Jesus is coming soon, is not run to the Hill with the kids, is to occupy till Jesus comes. Is to hold as much turf and must terrain for his imminent return. And that must be our attitude because I'm afraid it has become an excuse. And I mean that very carefully. I've seen it where people say, Charlie, I don't need to donate. I don't need to start schools. I got asked by a Christian the other day, why even have kids? Because Jesus is coming again so quickly. I was like, wow. Jesus said the time or the day and the hour is unknown. It could be five minutes. It could be 50 years or 500 years. I get in trouble for even saying that because people say, Charlie, it's no more than five years. I said, listen, we don't know. It's what you do that matters. The enemy would love nothing more than to have us remain complacent, remain neutral if we are off by 200 years. God wants us to fight for what is good and what is righteous, regardless of what the signs of the times are telling us around us. And the most important thing that we as Christians have done a bad job and we as Protestants have done a bad job of is this. And I have to brag on the Catholics for a second. They have done a much better job than we as Protestants have done, a much better job at building colleges. And they're all woke now, but at building. But that's what happens. We don't defend anything. We build these beautiful things and the bacteria takes over. And so then at K through 12 schools, and I'll prove it to you, how many Bible believing spirit -filled Christians are on the US Supreme Court? There are far more Catholics. It's because they are experts at multi -generational type building and passing down values. I think we can learn something from that. And I think that one of the reasons we haven't done that is that since 1950 there's been a strain of Christianity that has told us we're getting zapped up in the next five minutes. And that might be true, but you have to act like it's not. And you have to act like you could have a lot more time left on the clock. And so if we change that attitude, by the way, the whole ball game changes. I hope you understand. You will ignite one of the most powerful silent majorities if you get Christians that have been waiting for the imminent return the last 60 years and done very little, and you get them into an action phase and realize that they have to try to act, watch out. All of a sudden the enemy is going to be on the run in a very, very big way. Okay, let's do some questions and I'll stay as long as you'll have me. So, okay. Okay, so I have one question and I'm going to turn it out to all you guys. So get your questions ready. The college thing is a big deal. I feel like we've been even asked, do you send your kids to college? My husband's out of the room so I can say this. They're not going to Boulder. For those of you who don't know where my husband went and where he's very involved with right now, but it's a tough call. What do you think the chances are if let's say our kids go through a school like this, make it, get into a college percentage wise, where are we at with dropping off the bandwagon? You'll lose one out of four. Across where that's what you see in universities. Even the strongest K through 12 that I've seen, homeschool, one out of four will be lost. If they have a public school, you'll lose closer to 50, 60 percent. Wow. Okay guys, we've got a lot of work to do. We're going to try to break that statistic. Or just not send them to college. Yeah. Okay. Well, yes. Well, right. Well, that'll be an open thing. Unless they go to Hillsdale or CCU, but yes. But those are the exceptions. Let me be very clear. Yes. That is not how most schools are. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Good. Very good. That was very enthusiastic.
Crypto Critics' Corner
A highlight from Mooonstone Bank: FTX, Deltec, and the Mission to Move Millions
"Welcome back everyone, I am Cass Pianci and I'm joined as usual by my partner in crime, Mr. Bennett Tomlin. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you, Cass? Good. Annoyed. It's been a dumb week for everyone in the world, basically. There's just so many stupid stories going on right now. But we're focused on Moonstone Bank today, which in a sense is related to the ongoing drama of FTX and Alameda Research, where we've been doing some coverage in regard to the trial as well. But yeah, Moonstone Bank is a particular and very niche topic, but it deserves kind of an examination of its own. I guess I just want to get us started with the very basic facts of what Moonstone was. So Farmington Bank was established in the 1800s. This was a small community bank located in eastern Washington state. It basically served farmers that were locally in this very, very small town of Farmington. Farmington has, I think even right now, something like 250, 300 people or something like that. Incredibly tiny little town. Farmington got bought by a Hong Kong citizen who was naturalized English, I believe. So he was an English citizen of Hong Kong. He purchased the bank in the 1990s and held onto it for 20 -ish years, and then he sold it. And the gentleman that he sold it to is Jean Chalapin, who is an incredibly wealthy banker, but also the creator of the famous cartoon Inspector Gadget and a handful of other cartoons. He is the owner of a large bank in the Bahamas known as Deltech, Deltech Bank and Trust. Deltech served as the main bank for Tether and also served FTX and Alameda Research. They served a lot of cryptocurrency companies. And he purchased Farmington State Bank in 2020. But do you want to take it from there, Bennett? Jean Chalapin went out and purchased this bank, this small bank in the United States. And this is something that Deltech executives have discussed doing before in their publications and stuff about how going to acquire this type of bank effectively gets you the banking license without some of the other headaches. Later, in 2021, Alameda Research agreed to invest $11 .5 million into Moonstone Bank, owning 9 .9 % of it and valuing the bank at $115 million. Besides this investment into Moonstone Bank by Alameda Research, $50 million of the deposits at Moonstone, which was basically all of the deposits at Moonstone, came from FTX funds. Besides that $50 million, there was an additional $50 million loan from FTX to Deltech around the same time that Alameda Research made this $11 .5 million investment. So the reason Moonstone is so important is because there was this attempt by the chairman of the Bank of Cryptocurrency in the Bahamas and the CEO of this important trading firm in exchange, Sam Bankman -Fried, to go out and attempt to gain control of this small community bank, fill it with cryptocurrency funds. And then the stated plan from like Han Vier, the chief marketing officer of the firm, was to try to push this to be like the future of online banking. Serve cryptocurrency, serve cannabis, and create a new experience of online banking that people outside of the small community of Farmington could access. And so that's how we go from like this very small bank to suddenly being a much larger bank with ties to criminal behavior. So what they did is once they had purchased this bank, once Jean Chalapin had bought Moonstone, almost immediately he made the move to transfer the regulatory oversight of Farmington to the Federal Reserve. So initially, smaller banks like this, state chartered banks, banks that aren't doing a lot of global transactions and bigger transactions, generally they prefer the regulatory purview of the federal depositors insurance corporation, the FDIC, just because I think that the regulatory guidelines for the FDIC are a little looser. I don't know if that's the right, I don't want to make the suggestion that the FDIC is not monitoring things and not doing a great job of regulating. That's not my point, but that this smaller bank and smaller banks in general choose the regulatory purview of the FDIC. He moved to have the bank regulated by the Federal Reserve. The one promise made during this regulatory transfer was that Farmington would not be altering its business massively, that it especially wouldn't be altering its business massively in the sense of taking on things like cryptocurrency or cannabis. They almost immediately went against this promise. They almost instantly changed their name from Farmington to doing business as Moonstone, as in to the moon, cryptocurrency, and stone, like stoned marijuana. So they're taking on these two businesses that federally are struggling and having a lot of issues and aren't being accepted widely by the banking system in America, and they're diving headfirst into it. What was surprising for me and many other individuals who covered this and watched as it unfolded was that the Federal Reserve didn't do anything to stop this. And I think part of this is that as the new regulator took over and started monitoring it, there was this six -month, year -long period of this transition from the FDIC regulating them to the Federal Reserve regulating them. And during that time, they could do nearly whatever they wanted. And so I think you're kind of getting at exactly what the point of this move is by switching from FDIC to the Federal Reserve. They started their path towards eventually getting like a Federal Reserve master account and access to like the Federal Reserve's interbank settlement systems and things like that. And they were able to take advantage of kind of the initial scrutiny when they made their like request to become Federal Reserve regulated. And as you kind of pointed towards, there was looser oversight for the period immediately after that, where they were then able to take on this investment from Alameda Research, bring in the new executive team and relaunch with this change business model. And I guess they hoped that by the time the Federal Reserve came back to check on them, the business model would be doing good and they could beg for forgiveness instead of asking for permission. As they decide to get involved with cryptocurrency banking and cannabis banking, I honestly have no idea how much they helped bank the cannabis business in Washington. I think it was a goal more than like a thing they actually did based on like the amount of deposits and what percent we know were FTX. Right. And so like that brings us to the point of very shortly thereafter, this purchase and this switch of regulatory regime, we have this investment by Alameda Research worth $11 .5 million dollars in valuing the bank, which again, guys, this is an incredibly small bank with very few depositors and not a lot of money. Total assets, just to be clear, before Alameda made their investment, was like $5 million. Alameda like invested double their total assets at the time in exchange for less than 10 percent. I think it was less than 10 percent, too, so they could avoid certain reporting obligations if they owned more than 10 percent of the bank. That's right. For people who aren't familiar with this way, it's not just a banking thing. Any publicly traded company, for instance, the famous example of this is Elon Musk purchasing roughly nine point nine percent of Twitter so that he could become a shareholder, but didn't have to do any specific things to get that that board chair seat or whatever. Ultimately, he ended up buying Twitter, so it didn't matter. But similar things happen in business all the time. I think what's interesting here is that, like you said, it valued a very tiny bank, one of the top like five smallest banks in America. It valued it at one hundred and fifteen million dollars, which is I don't know, it's unheard of. But we know how Alameda Research and FTX were doing their investing, which was to dump money everywhere to whoever wanted it. I don't think that's what this is. This is you're right. This is not anywhere to whoever wanted it. This is more like Hyvex than Anthropic, for example. You're right. You're one hundred percent agree with you. But let me put it this way. This was obviously overvalued. Why was this obviously overvalued? Well, there's where we. Conspiracy or stupidity. Right. There's where we get into the interesting part. Because for some of this stuff, like we like we've seen in the trial, you mentioned Anthropic, where they gave them half a billion dollars because they had an idea, which is incredible. I would love half a billion dollars for an idea. Well, have at least one idea first. Well, OK. I mean, that's where I'm screwed.

"Well, because it's one of those things, I mean, think about this. It's just the kind of thing that sticks in your head. It wraps itself around your brain stem. That is the singing nun. And that was what the record said. The singing nun who has a birthday today. And she would have been, she would have been 90 passed away back in the 80s. But her name was Jean Paul Marie Deckers. She was Belgian and had a number one record there with Dominique in 1963. Boom. There you are. There you are. You know, my sister was a nun. Did you know that about me? I believe in working our way through your family. You have met that. What happened? Well, I don't want to talk about it. I don't have, I didn't have a great relationship with my sister. Well, okay. Sorry. Whoa. Whoa. So it didn't take? I mean, I don't know. Sorry. It's, it's, it's, it's a family thing, you know, and God rest her soul. She passed away and, uh, we were, uh, we difficult, it was difficult, but anyway, when I was a kid growing up and she went off to the convent and everything, when I was a boy, I remember romanticizing her being the nun because that was about the time that sound of music came out. And remember, remember Julie Andrews went off to the convent before she decided to, you know, sully herself with the captain or whatever he was, but the definitive nun imagery for me. And it had to be for you. I was about 10. You were about seven Sally fields, Sally fields, sister, betrayal, the fly, dude, stop it. She was cute. She was really, I always had a thing for Sally field. I did too. This was a gidget.

The Teachers Impact
A highlight from #73- 5 Lasting Financial Tips To Make the Most of Your Teacher Paycheck and Plan for Retirement
"Welcome to the Teacher's Impact Podcast, or better yet known as the TIP, where teachers can come to master their craft, use their voice, and enhance student learning. Welcome to the Teacher's Impact Podcast, better yet known as the TIP. On this episode, we'll be talking about financial tips to consider when planning for your retirement. I know you may think retirement is such a long, long, long time away, but it's something us teachers need to discuss and make sure that we start to plan early. While I'm not a certified financial planner, I'll be sharing some practical tips that have proven successful for me, which you can either adopt or evaluate for your situation. I know sometimes as teachers, we go about our day, we're really thinking about our children every day, teaching them, making sure that they're on progress to meet their goals, but we also need to think about ourselves and our long -term interests to make sure that we can continue to do those things that we love to do with our children and making sure that our future is secure, as well as making sure that their future is secure in the way that we can by teaching. One of the first things that I think is really essential for us to do as teachers is to open a Roth IRA when you first start your teaching career. One of the things that is important is that Roth IRAs are different from 4 -3Bs. IRAs, you're using your after -tax income and your 4 -3Bs, you're using your pre -tax income. Two pieces different of information. So if you say to me, oh well, you know, I already have something like that set up already. It's two different things. If you have a 4 -3B, that's great, but another thing that you can consider is a Roth IRA because once you retire, no taxes will be taken out of that Roth IRA because you've Why is it important to open a Roth IRA? It's important to start when you begin your career because you can take advantage of the powerful concept known as compound interest. Very powerful concept. I've heard it being said that compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. So if I get great feedback on this episode, I could do another episode explaining compound interest and what we can do to take advantage of compound interest in a little bit more detail. But just know that if you open up this Roth IRA when you're young, you will definitely have compound interest to your advantage. If your state has a pension, then this Roth IRA will be in addition to your pension, which will make your retirement much more secure. I get emails all the time and one of the emails that I get is a newsletter from a wiser woman and one of the things I learned when I was reading that newsletter was that you should have a three -pronged approach to your retirement, which is your pension, your social security, and another form of investment. So I know in the state of New Jersey, teachers get a pension that we should definitely take advantage of. Once you open up your Roth IRA, that's just another prong that you're adding to to make your retirement that much more secure. The second tip is to increase your knowledge about finances. This is something that I've done over the years. As teachers, we love to learn. We're constantly taking professional development, but one of the things that we need to take professional development on or do on our own is to increase our knowledge about finances. And I can tell you that this has given me so much confidence when helping me to plan for my retirement. The more I learn, the more I can plan, the more I can adjust. One of the best tips I can give you, just as important as opening up a Roth IRA, increasing our knowledge to make sure that we're on track. So you might ask the question, okay, well, how can I increase my knowledge? This can be by reading books, listening to podcasts or YouTube. One of the persons that I follow is Jean Chatzi, her Money Podcast, very good. And I follow the Our Rich Journey on YouTube and some, a Suze Orman book. When I first started my career, that really set me on a great path, was young, broke and fabulous. So you can also check that out. Number three is to have an emergency fund. We hear this constantly. Make sure you have five to six months or your six months to a year of an emergency fund. And what I can say is, if anything else, what you get from this is not the fact that, oh, you have, you know, you have this money in the bank, but it's just having a peace of mind. And I can't tell you how many times that having this has saved, has saved me so much, so much trouble. It's really helped me to, given me that peace of mind. And when I run into any difficulties, I know something that I have that can help me. I don't have to, I don't have to depend on a stranger to help me.

"Things with some great folks. That's actually that's really good to hear. I can tell you just from the end user perspective, I first encountered Gusto last year at the current place where I'm working at, they use Gusto for like payroll and all that sort of stuff. And the whole experience is so friendly and inviting, which for HR software is a feat to accomplish. Because most of that stuff is like, oh, I'm only going to go in here to file time off or whatever. It's not user friendly. It doesn't spark joy to use Marie Kondo's phrase. Like it doesn't, it doesn't give you those feelings of like, oh, I actually want to poke around and see what's on these other pages like the illustrations or fun, the color coordination is great. I mean, again, from the end user perspective, I like it a lot. Yeah, that's a big part of what drew me to guys though as well. It feels delightfully human, right? You talk about these friendly aspects of it to delightful experience. It's easy to use. And yeah, typically HR software is not that. It's not sexy. It's not going to make you want to use it. It's not like approachable. Yeah, design has been a big part of Gus of DNA since the beginning. One of the first hires of Gusto and when they were a startup, you know, ten plus years ago was it was a design hire. So design has always been a big part of Gusto's DNA and where it's continuing that. Like we have a big investment in design and being led by Amy our chief design officer. That speaks volumes to where, hey, at the highest levels, like we have advocacy for design and her leadership is she's bringing that influence to conversations at those levels as well and in our strategy and direction in our vision. So we don't have to fight for that seat at the table. It's like it's already there. I was like, all right, now design shows what you got. Let's make this happen. That's really good. I think for a lot of tech startups, at least maybe it's just the ones I've been at, but certainly there's others that I've seen where design is always this afterthought. It's something that, you know, maybe they'll bring a designer on, or they'll have a few freelancers, but you can tell the focus is really on just making sure that the product works and adding new features to it, design tends to be a bit of a, you know, we'll get to it kind of thing. It's very utilitarian. So it's good to hear that for Gusto that design is really at the forefront of everything that y'all try to do. Oh yeah, totally. You hit the nail right now, what you said, like designs kind of afterthought a lot of times and it's a strategic part of building a product. Like, you know, thinking about design is not just that fresh coat of paint you do after you build something, right? It's kind of like, from the beginning, talking to customers, learning about those user problems and kind of like distilling that down to the root problems and finding a thoughtful way to kind of approach that. Like even that is like part of design, like way before you even start putting those pixels out there and start delivering mocks to the engineers and stuff like that. So it starts really, really early on before any code is pushed. So yeah, design kind of being like this, this thread that's followed throughout, even from the end of delivery of the designs and that's kind of what we try to practice. Keeping that spirit of design, being at the forefront of everything that we do, and that's super important and it really shows in the product. So that experience that end to end experience, like you can tell, hey, this has been designed, not like, hey, we just layered something on top of something that was probably just strictly technically engineering lead or something. Talk to me more about what the team looks like. You're on the product design team. I'm imagined, is it for like a specific feature of the app like talk to me more about that? Yeah, yeah. So we're broken up in these segments, and I'm in an employer segment, so we focus on all of our customers, our business owners, who are using to kind of pay their employees and ensure them and use HR tooling for performance management and all that. And my team specifically, we're working on working on the HR side and we're our missions to help customers develop and retain their talent. So my team is made up of myself like I'm the designer and I have a p.m. counterpart. He's actually a hybrid of p.m. engineer, which is a pretty amazing. He actually was a pretty strong, strong engineering leader in our team. And he actually started this p.m. rotation and now he's like diving into that world and it's been awesome to kind of work with someone that has two sides of that coin there and we also have about four or 5 other engineer supporting this team. So yeah, so our team we're pretty much building those HR tools. We have that part of Gusto space kind of expanding Gus portfolio past just the payment and the ensuring benefits of side of things like going into that HR tooling space. So yeah, we're super excited to kind of bring that part of Gusto to our customers. Now, is this your first time kind of working remotely for a team like this? No, actually, my remote professional journey actually started in my previous role at admin held as a huge experience designer. So that was like the beginning of the pandemic. This is right around January 2020, somewhere around there and a couple of months into that. I was about a little bit over a year or so in that role when I got into doing remote work for the first time and they sent us home. They were like, hey, take your laptops and everything. And being a part of having health, you know, that's a large health system. So there was a lot of need as you can imagine for us to deliver some digital experiences to help with some telehealth type of things we're working on. At the time. So that was a pretty accelerated but a hyper learning time for me on both the product like working on a product side for designing those products for my health and as well as like, hey, now we're in this remote world. How do we work? And just kind of learning that you have to be really intentional about remote work to make that work and communication is one of those big key learnings there. They're in that experiences. Yeah, I think a lot of companies definitely have to come to terms with that very quickly over the past couple of years, which for me has been interesting. I've worked remotely since roughly about like 2009, like late 2008 was when I started, but I've been working remotely because I had my own studio for a long time and then once I sort of got back into the quote unquote workforce at the end of 2017, every gig that I've had after that has been remote first. So even with time where you've had to still go to an office or for something like that, most I say 90% of the work that I've done over the past 5 years has all been remote, and it's interesting seeing now how companies are trying to kind of adapt to that, particularly in environments where that sort of in person collaboration, one was so key, but I would say also when it comes to looking for talents, like a lot of these companies like if they're in New York or in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, et cetera, they're used to kind of looking for design talents right where they're at. And now with the pandemic and people being able to work remotely as they are, I feel like that probably does a lot for decentralizing design talent. What do you think about that in this current environment? Yeah, I

"Work, their goals and what inspires them as creative individuals. Here's your host, Maurice cherry. Hello everybody and welcome to revision path. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm your host, Maurice cherry. Now, if you've been listening to the podcast for the past couple of months, you know I've been mentioning the tenth collective. It's this new initiative from revision path and state of black design. And we wanted to do it because both of us as, you know, institutions, I guess you can put it that way. Both of us have been approached by companies for years that are like, we're trying to hire black designers, wear a black designers. We can't find any black designers, and we're also getting approached by black designers that are like, I'm looking for work who's hiring. So the tenth collective is a way not just for revision path and state of black design to kind of pull their resources together, but we have a shared common goal with this, which is to get these companies looking to hire black designers into conversations with black designers that are looking for work. And whether you're looking for work or not, it's actually a really great resource to have. To be a part of the tenth collector, you know, if you follow me on LinkedIn, then you know that I got laid off very recently, actually. And the abrupt manner of it meant that I had to get back out there to try to find something else immediately. I'm still finding. If you're listening to this podcast, I'm still looking for work. So something like the tenth collective would be great for me to be in conversation with these companies that are looking to hire someone just like me.

Let's start the show. All right, so tell us who you are and what you do. Hey, so my name is Jeff, a gene baptiste. A designer focused on just building great thoughtfully crafted experiences for people, you know, just software that works. How has 2022 been going so far? Oh man, 2022 has been actually pretty amazing. I mean, the backdrop of a lot of things happening in the world for me personally has worked out pretty well. Both professionally and in my personal life, my wife and I we closed on a house, so that's going to be our first home. So that should be done in a couple of months, so that's pretty exciting. And yeah, work has been pretty magical just like the things that I'm doing is pretty exciting. I'm still very much so happy at my current role in doing a lot of great things that I'm looking forward to building on. So what is it that you kind of want to try to accomplish for the rest of the year do you have any sort of like plans that you set forth at the beginning of the year that you want to try to do? Yeah, I'll kind of talk about two things. One on the professional side, I would say, one thing I'm trying to get better at is becoming a better storyteller and I can get into more of that later as well, but yeah, that's one thing it's a part of my goals is just be able to tell a more cohesive and better story about when you're designing products like there's always this the customer aspect and the pain that you kind of highlighting and the things that you're designing and how it solves their pain. So I believe that's one of the best ways that people communicate and I'm a big, big movie buff. So I love stories. I've also started to read a lot lately and it's just the way that stories are told it's just, I feel like it's an awesome communication method and I want to get better at that and first personally in my life I'm mentioned earlier we're close on the house so that should be happening soon. So yeah, just ready for that whole process to be done and then going to be booking some time to relax. We'll be going on a cruise in a couple months and yeah just out in the open sea and that should be cool. Nice. Take it now before the next global health scare happens. If you can, try to squeeze it in there. I'm curious about the storytelling like are there certain resources or things that you're looking at to try to help increase your storytelling skills? I haven't done anything specifically. I just kind of follow certain folks that I think are great stories. There's a lot of people at my Augusto that are really great at this and I'm actually like being mentored right now why somebody internally and product who's just trying to kind of build that muscle a little bit more and then yeah, I think I've kind of taken some cues from folks internally and then as well as I think Twitter is a great place for resources. If you follow the right folks and there's a lot of good nuggets of information there but I'm just trying to kind of hone that skill a little bit more just through actually doing it myself. I think the biggest part of it is as I'm presenting design work like I'm really cognizant of how I am delivering that message and trying to communicate. So I'm actively doing that work as well as taking in some of his other external information as well. Let's talk about your work at Gusto. You're a product designer there and you started last year. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, it's almost been a year now. So in September, I started and yeah, so I started last year. Yeah, I'm working on a zero to one team and basically just a part of Gusto that doesn't exist yet, which is specifically around HR tools and we're building things like performance management and also some other things around HR tooling for customers to help develop and retain their talent at the organizations, which is super relevant right now in this environment with recruiting and everything in layoffs and it's kind of like I'm learning in real time just kind of seeing everything happening and also looking at my work and how I'm trying to help other businesses to try to develop and retain retain being a really big piece of that, their talent and how we can support that. But Gusto has been super great. It's really great when you interview with the company and like, oh, you saw these mission in values and everything and you align with those things and then after a few months you had to come and you're like, okay, something don't match up. But I found that. I'm like, wow, it's still makes sense. It's still relevant and everyone is still like, what they sold me was true. So that's always good. It's been quite the experience I'm learning so much at this scale up and everyone around me and probably collaborate across functionality is just an awesome to work with these folks. They're super talented and there's just an honor to work for a company that's doing some great

"Jean Guerrero knows that the truth isn't always neat and simple. Her quest to understand her own father led her to journalism and to her first book crux, a cross border memoir. Then she turned her attention to the forces that paint our communities as criminal as violent, with her second book hate monger. Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the white nationalist agenda. Now, Jean as an opinion columnist for the Los Angeles Times, assuring more of herself, her way of seeing the world and the truth, however complicated it may be. Hygiene, hi, how are you? I am so excited to talk to you, and there's so many places we could start, but I actually think you're most recent piece about your last name is a really good jumping off point for the conversation that I want to have. And I related so much to it. So Jean, how do you currently say your last name? There was a period of time though where that was not how you say it. Can I hear how you would say it? Guerrero. Tell me what happened in your life. That that is how you began to pronounce some might say mispronounce your own last name. I grew up on the border in San Diego, just a few minutes north of Tijuana, which is where my dad grew up. My dad's an immigrant from Mexico and my mom is from Puerto Rico. And Spanish was my first language, both of my parents spoke Spanish to me at home. But this was during an era of intense anti immigrant anti Mexican hysteria in California, California saw this wave of anti immigrant policies that preceded what we saw during the Trump era nationally. So there was a lot of anti Mexican sentiment in the school where I started to go. My mom, who is a doctor, she put herself through medical school by joining the national health service corps. She thought it was really important for me and my sister to go to private school. And so she put us in this private episcopalian school where it was against the rules to speak Spanish. Like most of the students were Mexican American and children of immigrants and they wanted us to assimilate or learn English as quickly as possible. And so they said, it's just against the rules. And it was to the point where if we were caught speaking Spanish, we had to stay in detention and we had to write. I will not speak Spanish. I will not speak Spanish. A hundred times. And I was like a little goody two shoes, so I was like, I wanted to, I wanted to please my teachers, and also I just knew how hard my mom was working to put me and my sister in that school. At that point, she was a single mom. My dad had some depression issues, which I wrote about in my first book, but my mom was, you know, she was really struggling and I wanted to do well. And so I was like, okay, I'm going to internalize this idea that speaking Spanish is bad. And I just started to associate my first language with delinquency. And I just became the name that my teachers gave me, which was gene Guerrero. It's wild. It's wild because you and I are the same age, and you think of this. I think of this as a thing that happened back in the day, not in 90s, California. I didn't realize how much damage that it did to me to my relationship with my self with my family. Until many, many years later, when you talk about that damage, I mean, a lot of it is just not being able to communicate with people you love. And if you can't communicate with people you love, then there's an inevitable distance that grows up between you. Exactly. Like when I became Jean Guerrero, I also just stopped speaking Spanish. My mom was speaking to me in Spanish and I would respond in English and then over time, English became my dominant language, which meant that it created a real chasm between myself and members of my family who didn't speak any English. My dad's mom, who stepped up and filled the whole that my dad left in my life when he began to struggle with mental health issues, but she doesn't speak English. So as I internalize this English language supremacy, it created this distance between her and I were like our conversations were strained. They were shallow, just limited my ability to communicate severely with people that I loved. As your dad began to distance from the family, I mean, you were pretty young. How did you understand at the time what was happening? At first, my dad was just like I mentioned depressed. So he was just sleeping all the time and at first I was like, my dad doesn't love us anymore. Like he doesn't care about us. He was just profoundly depressed. And it's complicated like this was during a period of intense anti Mexican hysteria and I know my dad has always struggled with his identity. So I don't know to what extent that contributed. Eventually he disappeared, he was traveling around the world trying to escape what he said were CIA mind control experiments. He believed that he was being targeted by the CIA and that they were sending voices into his brain and electric shocks into his body and I didn't know where he was and my mom would always say like your dad has schizophrenia. He has paranoid schizophrenia. And it's because he was using drugs and messed up his mind. Because my dad was addicted to crack cocaine for many years. That's like a big part of why I became a journalist in Mexico. I was so curious. Where's my dad? Who is my dad? I knew my dad was from Mexico and that we used to go to Mexico all the time when I was a kid with him and that started to spark my curiosity about Mexico and becoming a journalist and Mexico and eventually he came back while I was in journalism school and started telling me his story of alleged CIA persecution and it led me down this really dark path where I was exploring like was my dad persecuted. I was just so enamored with him for like the fact that he was back in my life and he was trusting me with all of these stories and like I spent many years in a very dark place and ultimately came to terms with the fact that I would never be able to know my dad and that there's just like many different things that contribute to who he is that are just like so complicated from the traumas and physical abuse that he enjoyed as a child and like, yeah, I don't know. I've started to think about the whole experience like really differently lately because of how prevalent conspiracy theories and mental illness are now in our society. Like we have this mental health crisis in America where people don't have a grip on reality and I've just sort of reexamining my whole experience with my dad through that lens, which has been interesting.

All in what i like and and i remember coming in the shower thinking everyone was doing live streams. You know anyone who wanted me. We're doing music. Live streams to incite publicity which i think was brilliant but at that time i used to be really shy of grind law in the last year but i didn't like large strains and i wanted to contribute something really special and positive you know except for like as an artist during times of crisis and darkness and it's our responsibility to incite color. Because does that you know booed. What is also innovative. Know doing things that have been done before you know like to.

I want to have good songs. And i want to lace them in something. That pricks is up something that no one is really heard full. And and also. I wanted to create my favorite music because in my opinion i feel if you're an a creative producer a songwriter and you know creating your favorite music. You're creating the wrong music. That's how i view it. So all that mind with this ep i wanted to create a different genre. Combining my favorite elements of hip hop. I loved a lot of people.

We're doing our episodes ago. Well yeah well. He was he was here last time for the ben rally sausa- Exactly i figured out what all. So yes aussie fan. Boy and better known as ray send feedback for our spectacular spiderman. One forty eight crossover member via flash thompson the buckle a one one a hang out with meet me so yes so ray who furthers. You don't know major podcast. He hosts such shows as last sons a cripple on a superman podcast and to know hers. The fear her he says a spiderwoman podcast but we can give them the spiderwoman podcasts. So yes and again. Like i said last tuesday last tuesday of every month like last episode. He was here talking. All things scarlet spider with me and soon to be father mukunda so had marketing your super bowl sunday one anyway Yeah so it's all worth ten il anyway so yes so and also you may know you probably know ray if you know from into the night pocket night podcast. So he knows his moral all right. Let's see what ray had to think about. Flash thompson's adventure in spectacular spider man. One forty eight a low lilith and bill. She's right Just gonna send would end post spectacular spot man one hundred forty eight the night of the living. Ned which has gotta get gotta get an award for the tato right there. I think it was. it was pretty fun overall. Man i do every now and again i guess you you come across. They social issues and they the so good this refreshing So this issue predominantly being led by to just normal people surrounded by very chaotic slash demonic environments. And it's just basically to normal people of doing very heroic things are really did. enjoy it. in fact even that we don't really see the real the real spiderman we say bit of him which was good but a may not necessary. I think i think perhaps maybe in the day Would have been a little bit of uproar if it was not an appearance. Bottom at all in an issue but anyway. I think it's it's quite a a bright thing to do. But if you pulled off it which really well so. I really enjoyed this issue. they'll flesh in the pen ury clash thompson doing these griping but even more may betty brant she's Gaining some redeeming qualities. I guess from. I mean not so much that she's been bad but she's really had a rough trot And she really does get to feis her In the most literal wise it was. I mean again. The whole idea was it was pretty simple thing. I mean david running around till the morning to play with their pri- people that ate them. So that kinda conjure up davis doc august insecurities that betty flash have It's not that. I think it detracts from it but out the may refer point the other night. I was assuming it would be more kind of bessie entry. Connor become the the hero at the end the plan and she was the orchestrator of the climax with gas hate. So that's pretty cool. But while i was reading through it at the beginning of all flash centric go ogle. Betty had had the real damon's in a closet and when we say flash Up against a awards a spot that insults him i felt. Oh that's nowhere near as You the problems. That betty had with losing ned and losing her brother To the to the battle between Inspired men as mentioned. And there's losing ned Over in berlin Was we'd lead with clash Having said that it was really fun to see him Same stick up for himself against the daymond use whatever walls he could to try and try and beat the damon unloved the. Id conway's go really fun. Id's the idea of that. Damon spiderman ass stringing up flash and taking away the lightning rods of the buildings. And then how you know with the storm coming having potentially electrocuted of other very kind of morbid and Very dareus i look upon code to send someone But yeah the was fantastic as well. I i think a lot of people may not like celebration is odd but do love storytelling aspects to it. I was thinking about even There was some script by conway flesh just thinking to himself and visually see flash bringing the planks preparing the apartment block to be boarded up against the inferno outside at just a small touch. I thought that was just really well-considered In my head cannon nothing that was sal coming out with the layouts that just jerry's words and who knows maybe conway. Why did lay out the penalty for that as well. But i think is just really good. Making something up if you just look at the words of it's very nondescript and actually adding adding value to it by by telling a very small story of just flush going around the building The shot they may very reminiscent of from able dead. I love it. The silhouette in the doorway just those little things anyway As you can tell. I really did enjoy it. It's i'll give it a solid baby maybe a b. plus Just really enjoyed this. Very honest tyke and an insight into flash and betty and Although it was essentially i guess it's a nothing story on the other hand. You could argue that. It isn't the fact that betty really does turn a corner in in her law because she had been through such a nervous breakdown and all that sort of thing And this was the wife of her to kind of get beyond that and at and you know her and flash seem to be doing very well indeed yes so b plus to me for this really cool odds really storytelling by gerry conway. He's a very solid rider. I think especially during this era But yet anyway. I'm gonna put i i seriously because Those that great lenten one while ago. I'll really enjoyed it by the apparently wasn't it wasn't a good one. I'm hyping this one because yale accidentally anyway catch a lotta.

"This is a reading by jonas. A discourse upon the origin and the foundation of the inequality among mankind by jean jacques rousseau discourse second part section to it would be equally unreasonable to imagine that men at i threw themselves into the arms of an absolute master without any conditions or consideration on his side and that the first means contrived by jealous and unconquered men for their common safety must to run hand overhead into slavery. In fact why did they give themselves superiors. If it was not to be defended by them against oppression and protected in their lives liberties and properties which are in a manner the constitutional being now in the relations between man and man. The worst that can happen to one man being to see himself at the discretion of another would it not have been contrary to the dictates of good sense to begin by making over to achieve the only things for the preservation of which they stood in need of his assistance. What equivalent could he have offered them for so fine. A privilege and hattie presumed to exacted on pretence of defending them were not immediately received the answer in the apple log. What worst treatment can we expect from an enemy. It is therefore pass dispute and indeed fundamental maxim of political law. That people gave themselves chiefs to defend their liberty and not to be enslaved by them. If we have a prince said playa need to trojan it is in order that he may keep us from having a master..
