"Okay, and then the second question is for those who are unfamiliar and there are many. Because I keep forgetting how long ago, 1995 is for some people, it predates the birth of some listening right now. What is the general story behind braveheart? Or what is this story about? Yeah, William Wallace, you know, he was not a noble man. He didn't come from noble birth, his father was a common landowner, and you know, this is the late 13th century, right? So he was born in the 1270s. And he was pulled into this conflict between Scotland and England and in particular, Edward the first, who really had a thing for wanting to conquer the Scots. He saw Scotland as another fiefdom. As a place that he could also reign and rule. But he underestimated the Scots in a lot of ways. The English king and Wallace was brought into this conflict and saw in the vacuum of power between Scotland and England, the Scottish king had died, there wasn't there wasn't a strong person leading the country at the time. Edward the long shanks took advantage of this and brought in the military and started to say, you're going to do it our way. And the Scottish people rebelled, but until Wallace rose up, there really wasn't anybody pushing back and fighting back that could withstand what England was throwing at them. And, you know, the idea of Wallace is largely legendary because not much is known about him prior to 12 97 or so. And so all we know about him is really the military campaign. We don't really know exactly why he came into it, but the idea is that he lost his love, his wife, to the hands of the English and possibly his father and brother, were fighting in the conflict too and lost their lives, but he came into it. He gave his all and for a good handful of years, he brought the conflict to the English and won several key battles and really rallied the troops and even inspired the Scottish nobles who had allegiances with the English for different reasons, inspired them to a better cause, including the king Robert the Bruce, who then rules up and secured Scotland's freedom by 1314 and the battle of bannockburn. So quite the story. I like the way you say Robert the Bruce. I would just say that. Robert the Bruce. We're going to be back final segment talking to Andrew McDermott, the podcast is simply Scottish will be right back. King in this road show how they have found I still can't smile. Folks, it's incumbent upon me before I continue my conversation with Andrew McDermott about Scotland and braveheart and technology to remind you that we are for these next two weeks continuing our campaign to free slaves in the Sudan. It's one of the most amazing things we've ever had the privilege of doing. And if you haven't participated, I just want to tell you, this is a big deal. Please go to metaxas talk dot com. You'll see the banner at the very, very top. But this is something magnificent that we get to participate in CSI wanted us to continue the campaign beyond the first of the year. So we're doing that now. If you have not participated, I just want to tell you, it really doesn't get more exciting than this. When something wickedly evil can be turned around 100% by you, so just go to metaxas talk dot com and you'll see the banner. Get your kids involved. This is a beautiful, just a beautiful opportunity. A few minutes left with Andrew McDermott. So Andrew, we're talking about your podcast simply Scottish. We're talking about technology, Robert the Bruce, it's kind of funny. Braveheart is one of those films that it has become a classic. It's an amazing thing how people reference it. And Mel Gibson's performance in that is just famous now. Absolutely famous. Yeah, everyone likes to root for the underdog, but again, I do think that it's Randall Wallace's craft with the storytelling that makes it continue to resonate. This is not just the story of some dude that got under war and did his thing. This is how he espoused freedom, even when his country didn't have freedom, he got to live that spirit of freedom in the woman he loved in the king that he inspired, Robert the Bruce in his friends, even as Randall Wallace points out in my interview with him, even the crowd that comes to watch his execution is inspired and wowed by how William handles himself at the very end of his life. This is someone who gave his life for Scotland, but also for the greater ideal of freedom. And Eric, as you know, freedom is just a wonderful theme to think about in the digital age. And it gets us back to Jacques Louis, you know, the philosopher of technology. He thought that we as Christians and the non Christians can affirm our freedom, but we have to take over. We have to say thanks, but no thanks to big tech, we have to say, I'll take some of your services, but I'm in charge here, okay? I'm the one that's going to set the limits. I'm the one that's going to hit the power button and turn it off at the right time. And I'm going to affirm my freedom in this technological age. Well, it's interesting because when you put it that way, it strikes me that freedom is at the very heart of what it is to be human. There's no escaping it, that if you're a human being, you, whether you like it or not, whether you act on it or not, you have a choice. Either to be free to be fully human, to live courageously, to live with faith or not. And the temptations not to do those things are infinite. And everywhere, in every generation, in different ways. And we're, of course, facing it in a new way today with technology and with other things that have encroached upon us, but at the heart of it all is this idea of freedom, which is inevitably a biblical idea. I just spoke to os Guinness at a Socrates in the city, which will be airing later this month. About how Moses and the Israelites at Sinai in a way showed the world the first example of what this is to leave bondage to be free. It's just amazing. Lots more to talk about, but we're out of time. Andrew mcdermot I'm just so glad for at least this initial opportunity to speak with you, folks. Check out simply Scottish the podcast. Check out discovery institute, check out Andrew McDermott and Andrew, thank you so much. Eric has been a pleasure. Thank you..

"On the sea folks, we return to my conversation from our one with Andrew McDermott, we were talking about his article in the New York Post about technology, and then at the end of our one, we were segueing to his discussion on his own podcast with the great writer, Randall Wallace, who, among other things, wrote the film braveheart. It's hard to believe that that's already 1995. It's kind of amazing, but you were saying Andrew Wallace understands as a Christian. He is a Christian, understands the idea of God as a storyteller. And I think I wasn't expecting to do this, but in a funny way, when you think of God as a storyteller and you think of the idea of who we are as made in God's image, the idea of telling stories and narratives and so on and so forth is antithetical to the digital idea of information information information. If there is no God, we're just atomized bits of information and there's no meaning. There's no grand narrative. That's the enlightenment project. That's the hyper rationalistic scientistic materialistic project that says there's no God and therefore we can almost become gods ourselves and then there's this other idea which you get when you talk about storytelling and what it means to be a person thinking and having wisdom and it's interesting to me that that's one of the reasons Randall Wallace is a great storyteller. He taps into that idea he understands that idea as you obviously do. That's a wonderful point, Eric. You're right. I mean, digital technology by default is a download, right? It's everything at once. And really, you look at Elon Musk and the efforts to be able to download and connect to our brain, right? Who needs the story to be told to us when we can have all aspects of it all at once. Yeah. That's a great point. With storytelling, you are as the storyteller are in charge of when you release details and you're telling things one thing at a time, you don't give every detail to the person that's listening to your story all at once. You hold back. There's a beauty to that. There's an art to that. And you reveal things in time. And that is a classic hallmark of God almighty. He reveals things in time, right? All things have become beautiful in his time. And so you're right. It's very antithetical to today's modern technological idea where we can get it all, right? Google is getting it all at once, you know, give us give us a million results, you know? And we have it all in our pocket. Well, that really isn't how we're designed. And it's not really how God operates. Well, I mean, again, when we think of the idea of wisdom, wisdom is completely different and often antithetical to information and knowledge. You can be a mad genius who uses his intellect to do great harm. Science, of course, can do tremendous harm just as it can do great good. But whether we know it or don't bought into this larger narrative over the last centuries that all progress is good and we're drifting forward to. And it kind of ties into the idea of evolution that we're all evolving towards something better, which is simply untrue on many levels. We don't have time to get into that. But we've brought into that larger narrative and we forget that things can evolve or drift or trend in horrible directions. And directions, and we act like well, no, no, that's not true. We've kind of bought into these things. Now for people who are not familiar with the film braveheart if you don't mind, tell me two things. First of all, how can people find your podcast on it? Absolutely. Yeah, the podcast is called simply Scottish, and it's available on all major podcast platforms, and I'm also starting to make a foray into YouTube as well. So you can find my Randall Wallace interview on YouTube, but simply Scottish dot com is where you'll find all the podcasts..

"As well. And that's on our website. And the website, again, is becoming free dot org. Becoming free dot org. So the book is understanding religious abuse and recovery, discovering essential principles for hope and healing. For whom did you write this book? This is for people involved in this kind of thing? Well, it's primarily for those that really want to do a deep dive into the topic because I start with the history of religious abuse. I then rotate into what are the different perspectives of religious abuse. I tag four different basic perspectives in the main authors in those perspectives. I critique their strengths and weaknesses, and each of them have strengths and weaknesses. And then I provide my own perspective that goes under the acronym secure. And that is an acronym that suggests some of the basic principles that are needed of the essential principles in order to find recovery from this kind of abuse. It's fascinating to me because in a way what we're talking about has a lot to do with simply human nature, sin nature, and how it can really find its way into everything, including and often particularly into religious communities. When I think of some of what Martin Luther writes about, his experiences in the high Middle Ages that you found pockets of this kind of thing in the Catholic Church at that time. You find this. You really find this all through history, and it often affects. I mean, even people that I think of heroes of the faith is strike me, sometimes of having a little bit of this. I mean, when I read about the severe asceticism of a David brainard or George whitfield, before he really has his, what seems like a conversion, but this kind of this works oriented self abuse in a way or allowing themselves to buy into a model of what it looks like to please God, which any healthy person would say. That seems sick. It seems like you're off. Well, in you bring up a good point, and that is there's an incredible amount of history of religious abuse, and there are some, for instance, Jonathan Edwards, who really sought to address the excesses in the church of his time in his book, religious affections. You know, he does really a good job as long as you can unpack his language and kind of put it into a cultural context. But yeah, and certainly as you pointed up and you know, Luther much better than I do with your book on Martin Luther, which we found was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful book, by the way. Thank you. But he really understood a lot of the excessive that we're going down to the Catholic Church at the time. And of course, that's why the reformation took place. Yeah, it's amazing. It seems that everywhere you look in history, you find examples of these kinds of things. And so we shouldn't be shocked folks when we find these things inside the church or inside organizations that purport to be Christian because we're dealing with human beings. We're dealing with sinners and. I'm grateful for you, Patrick and for your ministry. We're out of time for today, but I want to encourage people to find out more by going to becoming free dot org.

"Tell me why relief factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night, I was asked that question, well, the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more. I'm one of them go to relief factor dot com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer.

Patrick, my producer Alvin just said to me that the Branch Davidians in Waco, that happened in April of 93. It is astonishing to think that it is almost 30 years. It really is mind-blowing to think that this is 30 years seems like ten minutes ago, but it's 30 years ago. It was the first days of the Clinton administration. I remember Janet Reno was part of what part of the horror of how that unfolded. Unfortunately, in any event, so in a remaining time, what are your, what would you like to talk about? And what should we touch on? Well, one of the things that Heidi and I are very passionate about is passing on to other people education about this topic. We certainly want to do the life coaching. That's our number one goal is to work with people on a one to one basis, helping them to process their religious abuse and their recovery. But we also really look forward to doing more educational kind of opportunities, whether for myself, one of the things that I would love to be doing is specifically to be able to teach a class at a college level or a graduate level, I've got a tentative syllabus. I would have put together and would love to have a 12 or 14 week period, be able to educate college students into a broader picture or broader understanding of what religious abuse and recovery might look like. That's a big thing. Also, we are associated with a 501c3. So if people wanted to provide donations, that would be wonderful as well. A lot of the time that people, when they come out of these kind of organizations, they don't have the resources to be able to get the kind of help that they really need. So that's certainly a possibility.

Patrick Knapp Discusses His Organization 'Becoming Free'
"You and your wife, I neglected to mention it, you have created an organization called becoming free and I believe the website is becoming free dot org. Correct. Yes. Becoming free dot org in case anybody listening knows somebody who has been through something like this. And you were introduced to me by Doug, grote heist, who's been on this program a number of times. But again, my way into this is to realize that I have had friends that have experienced things like this. And they told me about it and I thought, wow, how did you not see that that was off? And usually the answer is they were young and they were and this is a big piece of it too. They were zealous for God. They were so zealous that their zeal and really overcame common sense and judgment on some level. Well, in what huddy and I suggest in our organization when he worked with people, is that it's a combination of factors. It's a system that causes a person to be involved in unhealthy religious system. And it's also a system that brings them health once they leave. And the part of that system includes certain relationships, certain education, certain experiences of coaching or formal professional counseling, but it's a system thing, part of which certainly is related to family of origin issues. A birth family issues of rolls rules and boundaries. We talk quite a bit about that over the course of time and working with people. But with different people that come out, they're ready for different sort of things. And everybody's recovery is going to look a little different.

"Comes at a time when folks welcome back. I'm talking to Patrick Knapp, who has written a book understanding religious abuse and recovery, he was from 1970 to 1984 for 14 years involved in a high control abusive Christian sect. And we're talking about that. Patrick, I have had a number of friends over the years who've shared with me similar experiences. Of being part of a group that was just extremely fundamentalist and controlling controlling of behavior, usually young people are prone to this kind of thing and it's horrifying when I've heard these stories. In a way, I've been amazed that these two Friends of mine that I'm thinking of that they got out of it and became healthy functioning Christians in love with God and love with Jesus in love with the Bible that this didn't scar them forever, but it strikes me that many, many people, less fortunate, would have been scarred forever by these kinds of strange experiences. Well, and that certainly true, the majority of people that Heidi and I life coach with are from this sort of background. And really, when you look at a variety of other organizations that work with what perhaps commonly referred to as cults, an awful lot of the people that are the connect with them come from a pseudo Christian group, that's not uncommon. The international cultic studies association, which is probably the largest organization of its kind that works specifically with religiously abused or spiritually abused folks, they the majority of the people that come to them for help and support come from, unfortunately, forms of Christianity that are very unhealthy. Yeah. So it's interesting, too, because some people are geniuses at manipulating others. And if you, if you claim to have God on your side, you know, it's the ultimate Trump card. God said this or my interpretation of what the Bible says says this and I'm in leadership over you and whatever. And I mean, there are even you even see elements of this, of course, in places that are not ultimately these kinds of groups, but that they would have some kind of legalistic authoritarian qualities kind of in there in that community. And. It's an issue for some people. Some people, of course, listening have no idea what we're talking about. And I'm glad they don't, but how did you get involved in helping people deal with what you call religious abuse, how did you and your wife get involved in ministering to those people? Well, you know, I came out in my then wife came out in January of 84, and thankfully we had contact with several people that knew a great deal more about what we had gone through than what we did. There were folks from Denver seminary that I had contact with. There were people like Gordon Lewis, who was a professor there for some time. And then more recent than that, Doug wrote heiss. And several others had really helped to start informing us in supporting us and encouraging us to find recovery. Part of that was a two year philosophy of religion degree that ended up being 12 and a half. For seminary. And then a little over a decade ago, a doctoral program that I did in marriage and family counseling. With an emphasis and attachment theory and family systems. And so those sorts of things and particularly I can't stress enough. It's a relationships that bring about more than anything else that brings about the recovery..

"Yes, in the term that my wife Heidi and I, in the work that we do with becoming free, the term that we've used rather than use a word cultic because cultic kind of, as you suggested, send somebody into the idea that, oh, you know, we're going to be asked to drink poison Kool-Aid or we're going to end up in a big fire, like Waco. And the term that we use is taco, TA, CO. It's an acronym. And it stands for totalist, meaning all controlling thoughts, feelings, emotions, relationships, occupations, totalist aberrant, meaning off centered, meaning out of the norm of the history and also out of the norm of traditional forms of Christianity. So TA and then see basically that the group identifies as a Christian group, they appeal to the Bible as their authority, but they use it in a way to manipulate and control other people in an organization simply being two or more people. So the term taco, the acronym taco is what we typically refer to when we're talking about the kind of group that I came out of. The C stands for the C stands for Christian and was the identify as Christian. Then what are The O.C. four? The organization. Okay. So that's so just two or more people. Well, again, this is fascinating because I know people who have been through things like this. And of course, we've all read about things like this. And I would say the main point that I want to make up front so people understand at least part of where I'm coming from is that it is this kind of thing that has driven people away from Jesus that it is this kind of thing that has driven many people away some forever from the church that would give them life and hope and peace. And we have to be clear when something is a counterfeit or we have to have our antennae up to understand that there are crazy people out there. There are people out there who are controlling monsters who use the term Christian. And again, it's not like I think there's so many of them, but there are enough to warrant a discussion about this and you yourself, Patrick nap, you have, you've experienced so much of this. And you've written a book before we go to the break, I want to say the title of the book, folks.

"So tell us a little bit about that. How did you get involved in this group and when did you realize that this was not exactly the way Jesus does business that this was something a little less than ideal? Well, good. Thank you for asking that question. My answer to that is, I first got into the group that I was in. It was a small home church, I got into it out of a lot of disillusionment that I had with Christians, particularly with Christianity generally, and the small group that I became a part of in 1970, met in a home and initially it seemed to be relatively okay. There was nothing looking back there were huge red flags. But then over the course of years, it got worse and worse and then finally the leader had this revelation. So called revelation that really he was not married to the woman he was married to. He was married to somebody else's wife in the spirit. As the language that he used, that brought about a division in the, in the church, which at that time had reached about a hundred people. And I remained with the leader and his new wife. Because he did actually divorce and then remarry. And that led to 6 and a half years separation from my parents from all of my relatives and really from those on the outside of the group. It was a non communal group, but it was absolutely very controlling, as far as education, occupation, relationships, and certainly very damaging. Well, you hear about these things. Over the years, many of us have heard about these things. And they all, these cults, whether they are Christian cults. And again, I say Christian sort of in quotes because obviously the behavior ends up being pretty far from Christian. But we're not talking about Jim Jones or whatever we're talking about something that it just looks like a very bad version of Christianity. And the way it always seems to go south is like what you just described. Some person just veering off into lunacy saying I married to so and so in the spirit. And if you aren't confident in who you are and what the scripture says, a young person or a manipulable, there's not even a word there. Somebody who's easily manipulated would say, oh, okay, I don't really understand that, but I guess I'll go with that because this is somebody this is an authority figure. And so you hear over and over of this kind of sexual sin as being one of the major doors into lunacy. And the other one, and I know we'll talk about it, is legalism. Is this kind of controlling legalistic thing? And so also the idea of separation from parents, the idea somehow it doesn't feel healthy. It feels like it feels like a cult. And I know that there are many people listening to this who've maybe dipped into this over the course of their lives. They've been part of communities that were maybe not as controlling as others. But these are dangers. These are dangers that I really don't often talk about. Well,.

We turn to a very, very serious, important subject right now. I have as my guest, the author of a new book. It's called understanding religious abuse and recovery, Patrick Knapp joins me now. Patrick welcome. Thank you. Thank you, Eric. I always, most of us filter everything through our own stories. And my story is, in some ways, the opposite of where we're going to go today, which is, I think, widens important for us to talk about this because I typically don't. My story is that I was raised in a wonderful home. We went to church on Sundays, weren't really born again, weren't really serious about the Bible. And I kind of drifted. And then found Jesus, Jesus found me, and I was immediately welcomed into a wonderful, wonderful Christian community. It was St. Paul's Darien in Connecticut. Just filled with people who loved God who were emotionally healthy and fun. Knew the scriptures were passionate about Jesus. And that really formed me, and it wasn't until years later that I would bump into people whose experience with the church had been the opposite of mine had been tremendously negative. They had been in situations that you could describe as colts, even though they weren't they were kind of Christian cults, very seriously Christian cults, and that kind of thing. And it really stunned me that these places really existed and that one of the reasons so many people hate the God of the Bible or hate Christians is because they have been so wounded by some really sick people in those kinds of environments. And so I know that you experienced something like this. I know in your bio it says, you had a 14 year involvement in a high control abusive Christian sect from 1970 to 1984 that really helped you make you an expert on the kind of horrors that we're going to talk about here today..

And when you set that highlight in advance, then you start thinking about, okay, well, where am I going to find the time in the day to do that? We have some tactics for creating the time or finding the time in your schedule, even if we know we all have busy schedules and a lot of the time in our days gets wasted. It gets dissolved because it's fragmented because we're tugged by the busy bandwagon and the infinity pools and we were reacting. And so part of the idea is that not only can you make time sometimes by just nudging things out of the way or knowing really clearly what your priorities are and saying no to some things. But you can also make time by just being less distracted and being more attentive. You talk about that your book is about wholehearted. And you also talk about helping people sort of find what they're passionate about so that they build more products that are made with love or with joy as an example. And how does that happen? Like just sort of on a bigger level because when you talk about even the first step, which is highlighting, if you really go to the big, big picture, it's finding out what your passionate about and life so that you know what matters and you're not simply on autopilot or responding to what others ask of you. I really am a strong believer in the fact that if you start to make some small changes in the right directions, that a lot of things can cascade from that. That's been my experience and I've seen how that happened with teams and the third part that I was going to mention of the sort of testing out of this make time process is we had 1700 test readers and have heard back also over the years from blog posts we've written about this stuff. A lot of people have adapted these things. And even a small piece of it, one thing that I learned from that experience of testing with a lot of people is that many people will just take one piece of it, or they'll make their own formula. So whereas with the design sprint, we had this one formula that always worked for every team. To make time, it's like everyone will create their own formula, but little pieces, I think, start to unlock this idea of, yeah, what's in your heart, your attention, what's true to you, and one of the things we say in the book, and this is, I feel like a fraud talking on a podcast about meditation and mindfulness because I'm no expert. I'm a big believer in meditation, but I'm a sporadic meditator who's constantly falling off the wagon and try to get back on. But it's the idea that I think is so powerful and it's already out there. Other people have already talked about it, but we think we brought it into the books. We think it's important. Is that if you are finding your work hard. If you're finding it's a struggle, you don't have the energy that a lot of times throwing yourself into it can unlock energy. I mean, sometimes you need to rest. Sometimes it means you need to get away. But sometimes it's actually you need to go more all in, you need to stop holding yourself back and really go for it. And in a way, that's the fundamental principle of this idea that before I react to everything the world is pushing at me today. I'm going to pause and say, what do I think matters? And I want to make time for that. I'm going to preserve that and protect it and do that first so that I'm kind of what's coming from my heart comes first and yes, eventually I'll have to react to the world I can't be probably in this projecting mode the whole day. But like if you even do that, it is amazing what can sort of cascade and build from that. I think it's critically important. Obviously I have a lot of spent a lot of my life building software products and there's this tension between the fact that software products are the cause so much of this problem that we have with attention. I also know that it's been there before too. I mean, people used to be distracted by television and we still are. Before television were extracted by the news. There have been things probably over the last 200 years that successively have been fighting for our attention. They're just getting better and better and better. But while I see a lot of challenge with what technology is doing to our attention and to the ability to be wholehearted and to sort of keeping us in reaction mode, I'm also incredibly optimistic about technology and about what it can do for us. And again, we're talking on a podcast about meditation. Yeah. I was meditating. You guys have a meditation app. I think meditation apps like a remarkable way to unlock something that's otherwise very difficult to access for most people. There are lots of examples of things like this that are very promising and very good for the sum of human happiness that technology can bring us. But it comes with challenges too, and we have to figure that stuff out. So when I'm most optimistic about this book and I hope it will help some people to make their days more meaningful and put the focus on things that matter. When I'm really optimistic about it, I hope that it will help folks who are in the technology industry who read about it and think about this idea of redesigning the defaults to make them more about what we care about. I hope that it's a less critical look at the tech industry than a lot of the backlash that's out there, but that it also makes people feel like, yeah, if we build our products in a wholehearted way, if we actually practice this in the way we work and put the thing that's most important first, maybe we can get back to what matters the most for our customers for the people who use this. That's when I'm optimistic about technology, it's because hopefully those things happen more and more and more. And it does start with a fundamental thing of people at their work and this includes the folks who are building tech products have to be able to work in a way where they have attention where they actually can

"If you get a new smartphone, it's got email installed by default. And it's got the web browser installed by default. Because it's amazing. You can do those things right on this little tiny device that's in your hand. That's amazing. But why is it there? And now that it's available at all times, it's like, well, I should be responding and checking that all the time. And of course, since that thing can have Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and the news, breaking news, Netflix, games, all these things on it. Of course, since it can have those things and those things are free, I should probably have those too and be totally on top of those at all times. And reacting to those. And so we talk about in the book how there's these two really big defaults. What we call the busy bandwagon, which is all that stuff that happens at work. And then on the other hand, the infinity pools, which are like all of these things that have an infinite amount of content, all of these apps and shows we can watch and all these amazing entertainments and distractions. And these just sort of tug us in two directions. What happens is if there's something that really matters to me in a typical day, I have to be able to break away from reacting to those defaults from just ping ponging between those two things. The infinity pools and the busy bandwagon. I have to stop reacting and I have to start putting what matters to me first. But the good news, I think, is that you can start to make some shifts in the defaults that radically change the dynamic of your attention. When you say shifts in your defaults. So people are so addicted to the habits of doing these mindless activities that checking some of them are mindless. Some of them aren't mindless, but they all seem to be equal in that we just keep doing them. How do you break away from what doesn't feel like a distraction? It feels like your normal routine. So very difficult to just sort of stop doing that. Right, right. Yeah, but one of the things that's really powerful and for me this has been a huge one is that the phone has so much power. The phone is with us all the time. It just consumes a huge amount of attention and fragments our attention to huge degree. But the smartphone in and of itself is not a bad thing. And I grew up in the kid in the 80s, kind of messing with computers and learning how computers worked. It is just phenomenal to me still that you have this supercomputer in your pocket that I mean, it's crazy. It's crazy. And if you go back to the frame of mind of somebody who grew up in the 80s, there are so many things on the smartphone that are amazing, that aren't infinite. They don't have this infinity pool problem of distraction. There's actually this incident that I describe in the book. This is really like a key moment for me a few years ago. I was sitting on the carpet with my sons and they're playing trains and in the evening and I'm kind of playing with them and something like realizing I don't even know how this happened, but I have my phone in my hand and I'm looking at my phone. And the reason I realized it is my older son is like, oh dad, why are you looking at your phone? Not like to call me out or can you think he was just curious? Like, what's going on? And I was like, I have no idea why I'm on my phone. I don't even remember picking it out of my pocket. What's going on? I've been working so hard to try to be as productive and reacting as fast as I can, it works so that I can be home and be present with him. Ruth both my sons and here I am on my phone just reacting what's going on and at that moment and this is kind of a big turning point for me with the kind of thought process or framework that's in make time. I was just super mad at myself and my reaction was I'm gonna delete all of these apps off of the phone. So Instagram or whatever, I'm deleting Facebook. I'm deleting Twitter. I'm deleting every single game or entertainment or news app or anything that I feel like distracts me on here. And then I was like, I got on a roll and I was like, okay, I bet I can disable the web browser, the safari on my iPhone. And I went into the settings and I set the parental controls on myself so I could take it off. And then I figured out how to delete the email account. And this was really hard because I worked at Google, and I actually worked on the Gmail team. So I'm like, actually, though, I don't need to have Gmail on my phone. I won't be quite as responsive, but let's see what happens if I take it off. And nothing's left on the phone now except podcasts and maps. And the weather. And the camera. I mean, I actually like a pretty amazing set of things. If you go back to the 1980s, that's still a remarkable thing, but it didn't have any of those distractions. And by shutting those off, it was amazing what that did for my attention. And I think it's because now so much of our expectation of what's going on day to today life is that we're on the phone all the time and that we're kind of checking in all the time. And even just by shutting that off, that opened up a huge amount of quiet in my days. So that's 6 years ago and I'm still don't have that stuff on my phone. And I still get a new phone every time that I still love I have the iPhone X. I love the new devices and I love there's plenty of things that it does that are amazing to me, but just not that stuff. It's a cultural thing too, right? Because a lot of people wouldn't be able to take email, for example, off of their phones because the people that they work with are expecting immediate returns. Well, that's an interesting thing. There's definitely our situations where you can't do that. I don't want to say everyone can take it off, but a lot more people can take it off than think they can. Because a lot of the expectation that we're going to reply right away is something that we, it's like an unspoken contract and a lot of the stress is actually self generated. I think for most people, that was certainly the case for me. I thought I had to have it all the time, but what was I really doing? And periodically, I'll be traveling or something and I'll have to put email back on my phone. And I'm so surprised at how honestly crappy the experience is of checking email on my phone because I just, I look at it and I see that it's there, but I can't really do anything with it. I can't usually type like a proper reply. And so I'm just stressed. And I constantly am like, oh, I'll just look and see if there's something new. And then if there is something that I have to deal with, it's just like stress. But if I do reply, it's like a quick like I'm not very well thought through thing or I have to stop what I'm doing. I mean, it's influenced by brain. It's just nags at you. But then there's this, oh, it's like now I'm really on top of things. If I get an email, no right away. But for most of us, it really doesn't matter. And some things will happen that are not great. There will be some little things, and this is Tim Ferriss talks about this idea of letting small bad things happen. And I think that's a really good way to describe it. You have to be willing to let some small bad things happen. But it is amazing how few small bad things happen, how small they are. If you step away from that constant tether.

Feb 3, 1971: Frank Serpico Is Shot
"On february third. Nineteen seventy-one nypd. Detective frank serpico was shot in the face during a drug bust when franks partners refuse to help him. He was shot in the face. Many wondered if the nypd headset. Frank up my guest hosts ashen. Elena are going to take over from here to discuss the circumstances that resulted in frank. Serpico shooting and what happened when he survived. Thanks vanessa frank. Serpico always wanted to be a cop for him. It was never about the power or the possibility of seeing his name in the papers. Frank serpico merely wanted to make new york city place. Unfortunately when frank joined the nypd. In september of nineteen fifty-nine the department was experiencing rampant corruption as a kid. Frank witnessed firsthand. How a cop could abuse his authority while working in his father's shop an officer came in. First you shine when frank finished the officer got up and left without paying. Frank was stunned but assumed the officer was an outlier. Just a bad apple. He got a rude awakening. Once he became a patrolman himself years later when frank was still a police cadet he and his partner arrested. A couple of suspects while protecting vandalized synagogue. They thought the nature of the arrest should have led to some kind of award but the precinct clerk only agreed to make a note for a citation if franken his partner slipped them a few bucks. Frank realized that bribery was the key to success in the department but he refused to accept that instead he would stay honest and work his way to the top by doing good police. Work throughout the nineteen sixties. Frank didn't partake in any of the graphs are corruption. He knew his partners might take payoffs but he wouldn't. Naturally this made cops suspicious of him and it didn't help that. Frank looked nothing like a cop as a plainclothes officer. Frank didn't have to adhere to a standard dress code so he decided to look like his personality. He was bohemian long hair. Long beard psychedelic clothes. Frank lived in greenwich village and hung out with the counterculture. He was the complete antithesis of the nypd. Finally in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven alongside only ally. Detective david dirk. Frank started making noise to the departments higher ups and authorities at city hall for three years. They brought credible evidence of police corruption. And yet nothing was done. Fed up franken. david did the unimaginable. They went to the press in the middle of one thousand nine hundred seventy the new york times published an expose on corruption in the nypd. The report tarnished the nypd and led to the nap commissions formation. An official investigation into police corruption. All thanks to frank serpico in the department nuit frank coming forward. Put an even bigger target on his back by the end of nineteen seventy. He was transferred to narcotics where he was a total pariah. Frank serpico was shot in the face on february third nineteen seventy-one during what was supposed to be a routine drug bust however his partners refused to help him and let him bleed out in the hallway. He only lived because an elderly tenant called the paramedics. Frank miraculously survived though. He was left with bullet fragments in his skull and permanent hearing loss and despite the attempt on his life frank refused to remain silent later that year. He testified before the knapp commission making him one of the most important officers to testify against the police. A year later frank retired from the nypd and lived in europe until one thousand nine hundred eighty since then. He's continued to speak out against corruption and police brutality. He's still holds out. Hope that there will be fair and honest cops. Patrolling our streets.

Legal analysis of Trump impeachment trial
"To the program. Byron York He's the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner. He's a Fox news contributor in his capacity. The Examiner, he writes the Daily memo. Which is a newsletter. Available each day. He's also author of the book Obsession Inside the Washington Establishments. Never ending War on Trump, Byron. Good to Have you back. Good. Good to Be Here, guys. Thanks very much, Yes, that you've got a lot going on, obviously. And in your latest daily Nemo, you dive into some of these legal arguments and they're really in some ways process arguments. From various Republicans, particularly in the Senate about the upcoming impeachment trial. We know that the impeachment article being transferred over the Senate today with a start date on the trial. February the ninth, so a bit of a delay there, which is what some of the Republicans have been asking for. They've gotten it before we get into some of the other ancillary questions and details about the trial. It seems like and this is based on your reporting. What a fair amount of the Republican opposition to a conviction here in this impeachment trial will be rooted in the question of whether or not it's even appropriate or permissible. To host a trial like this against an official who's no longer in office. Walk us through some of the details and some of the relevant history on this. Well, there's there's been a big debate before Donald Trump River appeared on the scene. There was a big debate over whether a former official can be impeached and tried and removed from office. OK, so the The Constitution, says. Quote Article two section for the president, Vice president and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed on from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. So we hear we've heard that Ah lot and Republicans. In this case we're going to say Well when it says the president shall be removed. That means the president. There's only one of them at a time, and Donald Trump is not the president. Besides removal. The you know an impeachment is the Constitution's main methods for removing a president who's committed some sort of serious misconduct. Removal is irrelevant and Donald Trump's case because he's been out of office. His term expired on January 20th. So Republicans were going to say, Why are we having this big trial to remove a president who is already gone? And Democrats are gonna say well, there's an additional penalty. An impeachment if if someone is impeached and convicted, the Constitution says that punishment will not go beyond shall not extend further than two removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor trust or profit under the United States. That means a federal office like the presidency or senator member of the House. So Democrats going to say that the president's the former president Trump's actions were so serious in the first couple of weeks in January That he must be forbidden from ever holding office again. And that's what the big fight is about. And what you there the way you phrase your question, I think is correct, Which is I think there's some Republicans were going to say, Look, we don't even have to get to the merits of this case. That is whether the president incited insurrection because it's just a fact You can't impeach Ah, president who's already Out of office and they might make the argument is well, Byron even if there are people arguing, yes, they can write. It is legally permissible. They might summer arguing that you and people can come back and say OK. For the sake of argument. Let's say yes, you can do this. And obviously that mean the trial's gonna happen. So it looks like the process of Lisa's moving forward. There's also the prudential question of, should you it does is there A good reason to do this right if he's already gone, and for for some who are very critical of trump on what happened after Election Day, all the way through January, 6 in particular. Touchstone. There is going to be accountability and then for others, it's going to be okay. Whatever you think of what happened, And to be sure, Trump acted badly. And maybe we could have discussed a censure. But why are we wasting all this time to remove someone from office who is already removed from office because his term expired? And I guess you know you want to maybe get to 67 votes, which I think will be very hard to do to convict the guy to then bar him from office, which only takes a bare majority, but the prerequisite is conviction. On and you can also Debate whether or not that's the right decision there as well, because, you know, I think I've been very critical of President Trump on what he did what he said the lies about the stolen election and fostering the environment that lead To that violence in the siege on the capital, But I also sort of feel like if voters decide four years from now that they want him back. I kind of believe that should be up to voters in the United States right to to the citizens of this country, as opposed to up to, you know 51 or 50 senators, plus a tie breaking vote. That's sort of how I'm wrestling through some of these questions on I just wonder on the threshold question. Byron of whether or not this is Even allowed it. All right. I've heard arguments on both sides. Constitutionally of this. There's on Lee one tiny precedent right in today involving a non president who resigned from a position of power. Tell us about that and how it might be relevant here or how it might not correct. First of all, we should say that there is no precedent at all for this in the sense of former president being tried from people's just never ever happened, But they do point to a case of a Cabinet officer, a man named William Belt. Knapp, who was the secretary of war in the 18 seventies and the Grant administration. He was accused very credibly is guilty as hell probably of financial corruption. And so on. On this day that put the house is scheduled to vote to impeach him. And a couple of hours before the scheduled vote. He goes to the White House and resigns. He goes to President Grant Any resigns, and then he says, Well, hey, you can't impeach me. I'm a Warmer official. Well, the house went ahead on impeached him, and then it goes to the Senate, and there's a big debate over well, he's a former official. Can we impeach him or not? And they have a vote. And that's a it's a majority vote of the majority says Yes, we can him impeach him. So then they have a five month trial pretty long deal and he's acquitted because you know that you have to get to a two thirds vote to convict and they didn't get to that. And the reason they didn't get to. It was that there were a lot of senators who believe that it was not in their jurisdiction that he was a former Um, a former official and not in their jurisdiction. So is maybe not about it was not about the guilt on the merits necessarily was about Should we be doing this here? Under these auspices for this purpose, given the fact that this former official is indeed former. So this sort of vote the votes against conviction on that principle rather than the facts of the case. Correct. I think he was. There was consensus that he was guilty of what he's accused of. Now, here's the thing. So that is the one president that Democrats will point to here. But there's a lot of other presidents of officials either being impeached or being threatened with impeachment or impeachment has begun. The process has begun, and they resign and then Congress just drops it. Most of all, obviously the biggest issue. Biggest example of that is President Nixon, who resigned in 1974 ahead of impeachment. But most impeachments in this country involved judges and there've been like close to 50 judges who are either under investigation or impeachment had begun. And they resigned. And then nothing was On, even though his judges they could possibly hold a position under the United States in the future, But they were like qualify. Alcee Hastings opted. Alcee Hastings is a Democratic congressman from Florida. Who is himself an impeached federal judge for bring a bribery and corruption. I believe if memory serves, and he was able to then move on and run for the house and women, and he's been there ever since. He was in peace and removed but not banned from holding future office and the voters in Florida decided to send him to the house. And there is so there you have that there are these two questions. There's There's yes, there is one president in the belt nap case before impeaching a former Cabinet secretary. But then there's all these other examples like dozens of examples of Congress deciding to drop an issue once the person has resigned, and by the way, you'll you'll hear Democrats say, Well, gee, if we don't Try President Trump. Then president resigned right before impeachment and escape all punishment, as if resigning is not a rather large punishment for president. You might wanna ask Nixon about that. But the fact is, that's not even an issue in the Trump case because he did not resign. He served out his full term terminated at noon on January 20th. And now he's the former president.

How long should my YouTube videos be?
"I've studied a lot when it comes to video marketing. Especially when it comes to search engine optimization and optimizing your exposure on Youtube, the lot experts out there. But my personal favorite expert on this topic is Brian Deane from back Linko dot com you can check out his blog back link dot com. There's a ton of resources when it comes to maximizing your exposure on Youtube he's only an expert when it comes to Seo marketing on Google but also on Youtube so I want to share with you some things I learned from him as well as others that have confirmed his strategies and what I like about Brian's approach to youtube marketing is he actually tests Out His theories and see if they work in the real world and his own youtube channel, which is huge for this niche of Seo. It's a very dry kind of topic. It's not a you know anything that's entertaining or funny or makeup tutorials or car reviews which kind of caters to a big market very niche and yet he's got a huge following three hundred and seventy three thousand subscribers on his youtube channel. Pretty impressive. Let's address the direct question of how long should videos on Youtube. In order to give you the right advice. Let me back up a little bit and talk about. What does Youtube. Well Youtube really wants people to stay on the platform as long as possible. Their big metric is view time total view time how long people watch videos on their channel? Don't confuse this with retention time. Let me tell you the difference if a former video on average people watch of to the three minute mark. My retention time is seventy five percent pretty impressive right? Let's say I have a ten minute video and people watch only half five minute mark. You would think that the first video would be more optimized would be more preferred by you would get more exposure because the retention time or percentage is higher at seventy, five percent versus fifty but the total watch time I video is three minutes versus the second video, which is five minutes and really. Cares about is that you actually keeping people on the platform for longer they're watching videos for longer more minutes is most important to them, and this is why the ten minute mark is seen as the holy grail in Youtube because ten minutes allows you to get lots of viewing time even if they just watch half the video and it's also not too long where it's like a two hour video and no one even attempts to click on it because they have to hours. So Brian Deane your video should be at least ten minutes long. You should try to aim for that. You know nine minutes eight and a half. Okay. But ten is really what you should aim for to maximize your viewing time and also obviously have a concise and valuable video. So your channel will get more juice will get more preference from Youtube. Viewers to watch more time of your videos, they will suggest your videos as recommended videos at the end of videos. Or they'll suggests it in the right hand column. And if you get enough mental, you might even be trending on their homepage. Now I don't want you to take my word for it. Take a look at some of the best youtubers out. They're the ones that are trending the ones that maybe you follow somebody maybe that you look up to even if they're not as active as they used to before like Casey Nice to take a look at the length of their videos, you're going to see their around the ten minute, Mark Ten twelve, fifteen minutes very few of these big time youtubers are doing you know three minute form videos, even people that review. Gadgets software cars they make sure that it's you know eight, nine, ten minutes at least now I want to give a couple more piece of advice that I learned from Brian. But my real genuine advice is to subscribe to back link. Oh, you know he's not paying me for this. I'm genuinely saying he's a great source of knowledge because I've learned so much from him if he ever offers the I know he has a course on youtube if you ever offers it. Opens it up for enrollment. Then he closes it really quick by that course it's a very, very good if you're serious about growing your youtube channel because you're GONNA learn a ton to maximize a results is really going to get you faster results in shorter time. But here are a few things I learned along the way from him number one. Understand the key words you're trying to target when you are shooting a video. So when you have video four, your youtube channel, you have a video idea, a title what are the key words are trying to target what kind of things that you're going to be searching for that they're going to you know stumble upon her find your video with understand your Seki words and they could be eight to ten keywords you're looking for, and you need to make sure you use these words throughout the video now, only in the description as. Much as possible in the title, even in your, you know close captioning or subtitles, but also say these keywords in the video actually speak them into the camera why? Because you actually can pick up what is being said, and it's actually picking up your audio and using it in their search engine algorithm to find people those videos that match the keywords typing in. So obviously, you just want to say these words randomly you want to put them in context in the video, but be mindful that you need to mention these key a few times. Brine recommends at least three times. So they're picked up by the algorithm maximizing your opportunity to rank for those keywords. Thing teaches of course you need to make sure your video engaging if your values are not good, they're not gonNA do well period you want to make sure that they're engaging you have really crisp cuts you have different angles even if you just change the framing even if you just have one video camera a Webcam or your phone in the post production in the edit you know zoom into your face then back up to a wide shot and switch these kind of shots every time you're changing The point or moving onto different part of video us bureau US things on your screen or images or video from stock images.

Everything has a really specific style. So what are some techniques used to get everything aligned in your aesthetic? Yeah, I'm Tumbler. Avid, Tom Moore gather all my feels, and all my moods, and the places that want to go in place the travel to and how I want my home till the glide in the future. How pretty much just like kind kind of trying to get to wear want to get to in like twenty years I guess. That's how I guess best, but but I will say this. That's my method now. My method before was everything was heavily heavily inspired by what I saw on social media to be completely honest with you. I think that's how many people start out. They have like look at what everyone else is doing at Don. KNAPP for like two years and I was just like it just wasn't working for me so now. I have to like go into. into myself going to my mind because I know, I know I'm an incredible human being and I. Know that whatever's up here is insane and I'm pretty sure that somebody out there in the world feels how I feel or have had not how I feel. That's how I organize. My images are my fields tumbler. Temperature is a great community of people just like Instagram, but it's less political. It's less chatty. It's really just about images and Pinterest But. I guess you would say. Tumbler would be like my my thing so basically. You're using Tumbler to get your as you call. It feels together to build your mood to figure out your mindset, and then by gathering that at helps, make your vision clearer absolutely and I. Just want to point out i. think the fact that you mentioned you're. You're building that based on where you want to be in twenty years. Instead of what's hot now be my favorite piece of branding advice. We've ever heard from any guests like it makes so much sense. It's inspirational and I totally. It links up now with what I've been seeing on your feed like I. Get it now. It's a vision rather than you know trying to. Fit in late on trend yeah it's. notice if you scroll back far enough. Everything was very Prada Teddy. Product product product product after a while. It's like okay. We know he's also of okay. Know you make so and I didn't feel. I was growing in also didn't feel like connecting. It just felt like I was selling selling selling, and I see that most instagram's fail that way because. They're just so focused on. Here's myself. Here's my so here's. My so here's the every five minutes every day and I said you know what. I see okay, so you see those instagrams that you you come across. They don't sell anything. They're just instagram you noticed. You see one go, and then you're scrolling next thing you know you're on it, but thirty minutes on this whole issue because you've just been absorbed, went down. A radical of just feels, and you connect with the a now now when you're done. Okay, let me go the late. Let me. See what's going. Let me see what these people do. That's what I'm. That's what I WANNA be. That's what I want. The instagram to be in that town draw people in because. The so at the end of the day. seriously. It's salt at the end of the day right in there, so many people out there making so you can go outside right now in fine soap anywhere, but the connection to it in the emotion that comes along with that is what matters most in that. I'm finding most success.
