Bitcoin & Crypto Trading: Ledger Cast
A highlight from Quiet markets as stock market turns down
"Hello and welcome to Ledger Cast, my name is Brian Krosgaard. Here back today, it's been three weeks since I've talked to you. Josh Olswich, how you doing? Good. For all those people who didn't know who Brian was, this is Brian. Josh did a poll, and then everybody answered, who is Brian? Brian is Ledger, Ledger is Brian. Same thing. Just my alternate personality, I guess. Yeah, it's been a while, man. I was on vacation and forgot to tell you, and then we didn't record. No, it's all good. I think the markets have also been on vacation, yeah, for sure. Well, it's good to be back with you. Except the S &P, that's not been on vacation, that's for sure. S &P is down this week for the first time in quite a while, especially of that magnitude. Imagine the panic, they just said, they just said, recession is off the table, and we don't. That's how you know it's beginning. Kramer told me, literally, last night. Biggest down week since March of 2023, and... Kramer said, he said, go all in, up here. Oh, Kramer said that. Yeah, is my audio messed up? No. We need to ask Chad how my audio is. I think your audio sounds good. I think you secretly tweak my audio to be shittier than yours, that way you just sound better. That's what I think. I'm sometimes incompetent with these things, so... That's okay. Yeah, but Kramer literally, yesterday or the day before, said, no recession. And then we've got, I don't know if it's JPM, I forget who it was today. Just came out, some analyst, and said, you know, recession, yeah, JPM no longer expects a recession. I haven't talked to anybody all day, gotta warm up the instrument. The instrument. No longer expects recession, and we fall 500, not 500 points, but 50 points. Anyway, it's just funny how that works. National news talking about Dow points. Well, Dow was up, what, 13 days in a row, that was like last week. That's last week's news. Somebody check on Johnny. Is he a big Dow enjoyer? He has been a big Dow enjoyer. Let's see, I got it right here. Yeah, it was going for a record. The thing is, a lot of these charts all kind of look the same. Yeah, but overall, they still look great. They look fine, they look perfectly fine. Oh my gosh, resistance right at the squiggle line. Josh, it knew. Literally to the penny, the squiggle to the penny. I didn't move that. This audience knows I did not move that. I'm just saying. Invalidation was soon. Yeah. But we've had people bearish since the beginning of the year on Legacy. They're still bearish. They're adding, right? They're happy to see us down. I think we do go lower, but I don't think we go as low as they think we're going to go. Anyway, the sentiment to me feels extremely bearish. Really? Still on Legacy. Crypto is like dumpster fire, but Legacy, right? People bearish. still Justifiably so based on data, but the prices do not. You can talk about macro all you want. You can have a perfect thesis. You can pick all your data, line it all up, and it's not going to matter. Prices are just going to do what they're going to do. Eventually, it might come back into sync. Eventually, oil might go higher and inflation might go higher and markets might go lower and the Fed keep raising, blah, blah, blah, right? We did go higher than I thought we were going to go. Might not happen right now. I was all for 4 ,300 on the S &P back to this 2022 level. Honestly, we just ripped right through that, but I do think that's a good spot to retest back to 4 ,300. Do you know who was one of the few bulls since the beginning of the year? Tom Lee. Oh, he's always bullish, so he doesn't count. The answer is me. That's the answer. Josh has been bullish. I have to expect people to just be sick of looking at this chart of the S &P that I've literally for months. It hasn't changed. What do you know? Not only did we go to the squiggle to the penny, but we went to the yearly pivot to the penny. Oh, no, really? We went for pivots. Typically, when you're rising, wedging, bear -diving into a pivot, that's not usually a great sign for continuation. There was the inverted head and shoulders thing that we completed effectively. We hit the target. It's pretty textbook, honestly, unless you are trying to go truly textbook. Then it's not. Yeah, it's not perfect -perfect, but we did get a series of higher lows. It meets the basic criteria. It broke out very strongly at the neckline, arguably. Now, RSI is not looking so hot. Collectively, what's the cloud look like? The cloud likes 4 ,400, let's say. The downside? That's not that far. Yeah, OK, 4 ,360, 4 ,360, whatever that is. Still not bad. But yeah, CHOP, I think, is on the table for sure. Well, I think it would be healthy to not have the stock market not go into price exploration right now. Jungle Teemo support. I read the chat. Ledger, he's too high. I read the chat. I have the chat up. Also, by the way, Jungle Teemo support sounds miserable for people who play League of Legends anyway. Sorry, what were you saying? I got sidetracked by that name. It's just too funny. I'm just saying I think CHOP is a reasonably good thing. I feel like it'd be a little strange if you balanced a stock market and price exploration with an economy that is clearly pretending to be CHOP. The economy does not feel like it's at an all -time high. I'd agree. I feel like there's a lot of uncertainty in the economy. Yeah, the US credit downgrade, which dependent on your political affiliation, you may take it more seriously one way or the other. Wait a second. You got to explain that to me. Are people politicizing the credit facilities as partisan? I feel as though it's a partisan issue because the White House is saying, why do this now? Everything's fine. Jobs are fine. The economy's fine. Why downgrade us here? And then everybody else is like, what are you talking about? You guys are issuing debt like crazy. And it's only going to get worse. Your projections keep going higher. You're supposedly going to be issuing a trillion dollars in debt the rest of this year. That's a scary chart. So you're either on the MMT side where you're like, you know what? Everything's going to be fine. We've got the power of the printing press. Who cares? Or you're on the responsible fiscal path people side where that's just like, this is not sustainable. We're at what? $33 trillion almost? $33 trillion by July? Gosh. Another year. Another failure. $33K by July. How did we not hit that? We were so close. We were a few percentage points off, I think. We were super close, though. Anyway, US debt's out of control. But yeah, I think it feels like a partisan issue. I don't know about Fitch and their political leanings or anything. I'm just saying that's what it feels like to me. Because you've got the left. People on the left just sort of ignoring it. Meanwhile, bond issuance is just out of control. And it's just going to continue. We'll find out. I don't know enough about bonds to know why people are freaking out about the 30 year. Other than it's going higher. And it looks like it wants to go higher. It does look like it wants to go higher. This is a monthly chart that I'm looking at. I guess the question is... Strong weekly breakout of consolidation. Yeah, it looks like a version of the S &P chart. And it looks like Costco. It looks like QQQ. It looks like a lot of these charts. I guess the question is, who's going to buy our debt? Other than us. If nobody wants it. They still like our debt. We'll see. Jobs were good though. The fake jobs numbers came up. They were good. They were good. Down to 3 .5 % I think. Is that right? I think so. I don't know. I saw Canada's unemployment numbers were bad. Anyway. 5 .5%. This yield inversion stuff too. All the doomers pointing to it. I guess it matters eventually. But not now. It doesn't matter in the moment. It might matter eventually. It doesn't seem to matter in the moment. I saw that we're up to a 45 or 50 % chance of another quarter point hike. But the market is pricing now. Do you see that? 55 %? Is that what you said? 45 or 50 % chance of another quarter point hike. I don't think so. I thought it was at like 25%. Oh. Let me just look real quick. Look, if jobs aren't... If people aren't losing jobs, and if inflation is still above their target, yeah, they're probably going to keep raising. Now we have another... We have two CPI prints between now and the next meeting. And I think we have another jobs print. But maybe not. Between now and the next meeting. We should have one more jobs print. I only see it at a 10 % chance. Oh, good. Well, I'd like them to stop. Why would you like them to stop? Well, the market really hasn't had time to absorb what's already occurred. And I think you're probably not going to make a massive impact on inflation if you just stay flat on rates for like the next year and let the market absorb stuff. Versus if you just keep raising and then you find out you overcorrected and instead you have to start cutting immediately versus having the flexibility to do nothing for a while. From a real world perspective debt debt is very expensive right now. To finance anything right now is hard. Credit card is all time high. Credit card delinquency is I think higher than 2008. Auto loan delinquency is probably higher than 2008. Auto loan 48 months APYs or whatever. Extremely high. But you said auto loan delinquencies are high? Yeah. That shouldn't be too surprising. You remember that meme video that was going around about all the people with $1200 car payments? No. That was a year ago. People were talking about how much their car payments are. Well now it's Airbnb real estate stuff. There are so many pockets of problems any one of those exploding could be the one that sets off Airbnb real estate. So you're talking about retail real estate investors with second homes they're doing as Airbnbs? Right. Second, third, fourth with mortgages. Not only that but Airbnb usage utilization I don't know what that term is. It's also down. Everywhere you look it's not even counting commercial real estate. I'm looking at it from a commercial real estate I've perspective. dabbled in commercial real estate these past couple of years. I think some of our audience knows that. I've been going through the financing process for redevelopment of some stuff and it just is hard to make stuff pencil. You still have expensive construction. You still have high asset prices, purchase prices. You also have high rates. So you really need to have high rents to be able to make all that work and to make it all work. Something's got to give. Rent's got to go up but rents are already high. So the asset prices have to go down. The rates have to go down. The construction costs have to go down. Based on what I've learned in that ecosystem, I do think some of the construction is slowing down especially with stuff that has lower lead times. I don't think your big federal projects, your huge contractors that are planning things that they're going to do two and three years from now, they're not feeling it yet. I do think your shorter timeline stuff is just hitting pause and that's probably affecting construction teams who are trying to get work. So maybe people will start getting a little hungrier for work. As they get hungrier for work, things get a little more price competitive. But that hasn't really trickled all the way down yet. So right now, you still have basically all these same things. Transaction prices are really high and that's really expensive because now you're talking about loans at seven and a half, eight and a half percent interest rates instead of five or four. That makes a huge difference in a commercial real estate deal for what it's worth for people listening. No different than if you're taking a mortgage right now like what was it a year, year and a half ago, you could get a mortgage for three percent. Now you're looking at six percent or more and that does effectively double your mortgage payment itself when you've amortized that over 30 years. You double the interest rate, it's going to roughly double the mortgage, something like that. That's not perfect but it's close enough right? Yeah, it's super unaffordable right now. Like you're saying, we either need a housing crash which nobody wants to happen but you can't have rates this high and factor in affordability to that equation. It just doesn't, it's not how it works. You need something to come down. And this other question that a lot of people are talking about, like at what point does the Fed's power of affecting the market even get diminished? Like at what point are rates inflationary? That's a Lynn Alden question as well. I don't know, like they're taking the credit for this right? Which logically it would make sense, we raise rates, inflation comes down. But I think the question many people are asking is okay, how responsible really is the Fed for inflation? I don't think the Fed's done a horrific job. They did a horrific job by waiting. Yes, they waited too long. But by raising rates I don't think, I mean they should have just raised them sooner I guess. We haven't seen evidence of hard landing yet I guess is my point. Well what was CPI again? I feel like I should remember this but I don't. CPI was like what, 6 % before they started raising? Because they were on the transitory train? Anyway I don't want to rehash all that but they were way behind the curve. And yeah, it's something that people talk about. I think always like the best credit score or maybe not the average. So if you're not like the best type of person to have a mortgage you're further out on the affordability line right? Because you just you get hit with a higher rate. It just gets harder and harder. I thought it was more than this but either way $500 ,000 home value loan amount $400 ,000, 20 % down 3 % interest was your total monthly payment was $1969. You go to, I think I said 6 .7 % interest was the estimate for today. That takes you to $2864. So a $900, a 50 % increase. Not great. You've got that and then the other side of the coin you've got people, you know the golden handcuffs narrative where no one wants to leave because of the rates. Super true. So now the supply of houses on the market is down significantly and that's bringing prices up. It's just it's a mess. It's a massive mess. Yeah, why would you want to move right now if you've got? Oh, I agree. But it's all part of the issue. Like rates haven't affected those 30 -year mortgages because they're fixed, right? So, yeah. And that's for what it's worth. That's why people are talking about commercial real estate, not residential real estate with being in jeopardy because commercial real estate which is more similar to traditional business loans typically the loan period is like five years or so and then you have to refinance it. It might be an amortization schedule of 20 -25 years but your actual time before you have to refinance is only five years. And so people who were refinanced or who financed anytime 2017 -2018 they're refinancing now and they're getting starting to get squeezed and they're just leaving right? We're seeing. Yeah. I see a headline on that every week. Some massive property that just says, no, we're not going to pay or we're not going to renew. But I think more important than those massive properties is all the little properties and all the little businesses where like say you're a small business and you use that example that we just did. You borrow half a million dollars for your operating capital and all of a sudden your payment that goes up a thousand dollars a month on resurfacing that loan, then you're going to get in trouble. Or in the commercial real estate environment you're financed some deal and then now your mortgage is 50 % more and your rent hasn't changed. Maybe you're even having trouble filling your building and you're being told you can't borrow as much money. You might have to bring cash to the table when you refinance because you overleveraged it in the first place. That's where the squeeze is happening.

That's the political organization run by the billionaire Koch brothers. It's the latest revelation to come out from ProPublica's reporting on close relationships between Thomas and conservative interests. We found that in 2018 during the donor summit, Thomas flew out to Palm Springs on a private chat where he then went to a private dinner for high dollar Koch donors. Koch staffers told us that he brought was in because giving donors that sort of access was seen as a valuable fundraising tool, a perk for big one of the best donors basically. He did not disclose this 2018 flight on his annual financial disclosure, which experts told us is a parent violation of a federal law. Joshua Kaplan is one of the ProPublica reporters who broke the story. Thomas has not responded for comment. This new report will likely raise new questions about ethics with the Supreme Court. Last month, Thomas updated his financial disclosures to include previously unreported luxury trips he took that were paid for by GOP mega donor Harlan Crow. 546 now to war the in Ukraine. A Ukrainian missile hit the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Crimea earlier today. Russia's Defense Ministry reports one military serviceman is missing as a result. The attack comes just a day after Russia launched missiles across Ukraine, killing five people. This was a significant psychological blow to the Russian military. Because once again, Ukraine is able to strike a Russian territory headquarters building. This isn't the first time they've been able to do some significant damage to Russia's Navy. remember You may they sunk that Russian Navy ship last year. That was the flagship of the fleet. Well, now they're able to actually strike the actual headquarters building, which when you think about it is very similar to launching a missile to strike the Pentagon. That was WTO P national security correspondent JJ Green. Surgeons at the University of Maryland have done it again.

Other health problems made him ineligible for a traditional heart transplant. Doctors say he's now cracking jokes and able to sit up in a chair just two days after surgery. Faucette has married a married father of two. He's a 20 -year Navy vet and last the year same Maryland teen performed the world's first pig heart transplant into David Bennett.

"Listen. The WTOP producers desk is wired by IBEW Local 6 where electrical contractors come to grow. Good afternoon. I'm Shawn Anderson. I'm Ianne Kramer. Mike Chikaitis is our producer. We are following two breaking stories this hour. A tropical storm that's moving up the Atlantic coast and could have a big impact on our weather this weekend. The other story, a new development following the indictment of New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who is charged now in a bribery scheme. Let's go to WTOP Mitchell Miller. He's got today on the The senator and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars bribes. US Attorney Damian Williams announcing the three -count indictment, which alleges the bribes came from various businessmen in New Jersey. In exchange for Senator Menendez using his power and influence to protect and to enrich those businessmen and to benefit the government of Egypt. Menendez has denied the charges calling them baseless, we've but just learned from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that Menendez is temporarily stepping down as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Maryland Senator Ben Cardin is expected to step into that role as the ranking Democrat on the panel. Shawna Nann. Mitch, Senator Menendez was indicted in a separate case a few years ago. The jury deadlocked in that case. How at all does this case compare? Well that case was complicated and by various issues and it also came three years before Menendez was up for re -election so he was able to put up a defense and then the charges were eventually dropped by jury deadlock. But legal analysts are saying this case could be tougher for Menendez to fight. bars You have gold nearly five hundred thousand dollars in cash stashed in his house. A Mercedes -Benz linked to the alleged corruption. Prosecutors will have to tie all these to an explicit bribery scheme but it certainly doesn't look good. And members of Congress have gone home. So what's the latest now on the efforts to avoid a government shutdown next weekend Mitch? Well Sean we had a surreal situation today where this the House Rules Committee was actually taking up appropriations bills one by one. Keep in mind that twelve bills would have to be passed before the October first shutdown deadline. Obviously that is not going to happen in the coming week. Republicans apparently want to show that they're doing something, getting something moving ahead but right now there are no plans for a vote on a Republican short -term bill. There are movements on the Senate side with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicating he is trying to work with Minority Leader McConnell to try to craft some kind of short -term continuing resolution that would start with a House bill.

The News of Trump's Indictment Changes America Forever
"Of yesterday afternoon that a local district attorney has decided for the first time in American history. To charge a former president with a crime. Is that moment? Alvin Bragg has changed America forever. Why? Because the former president, my former boss, isn't simply a former politician. President Donald J Trump is, right now, the leader of the opposition to the incumbent power, in America. Every single poll that we've seen in the last few weeks puts him at least 20 to 40 percentage points against above beyond ahead of the next challenger in line. There's only been a handful of people who say they want to be the next Republican president, Nikki Haley, Vivek Kramer Swami, John Bolton, everybody knows Ron DeSantis is running. And he's second to president Trump, but a far distance second.

Well, you have a bill that supported by Lindsey Graham, Tom tillis and Mitt Romney. You know you're in for a beauty. The restrict act, what can we say about it? Well, first thing to know is that it's a Trojan horse type Bill. What it's being packaged as is some kind of way to counteract the nefarious foreign communist infused influence of TikTok, which is a natural cell. Everybody can get behind that. But what it actually is, is a Trojan horse. And amounts effectively, I think the best description of it that I've heard is the Patriot Act for the Internet. Even though the marketing is specifically tailored to TikTok, something that we all love to hate, the actual substance of the bill is very vague and it is no way limited to TikTok. It's vaguely constrained to technologies associated with quote unquote foreign adversaries.

"In trying to find comfort, we seem to remove ourselves from society in a lot of ways which adds to weight gain. I'm a comfort food guy. And when I don't feel loved or I don't feel accepted, I am ready to have not just a bowl of ice cream, but a container of ice cream. And it was learning that that was coming from just trying to make myself feel good and my sub personalities telling me to pull back from people because they might not be trustworthy or whatever. I had to switch from that place of first of all I am good enough and I am worthy. And I don't need to protect myself from the world. If you look at a lot of people and I'm just going to share this from a place of what I see and what I feel in the world. So I don't want anybody to think that this is the only way, but I see people that are carrying extra weight, most of them have huge hearts. If you can connect with the energy of who they are and really feel into those people, they've got huge hearts, their lovers. They love the world and they care about other people. And it seems like we put weight on our bodies to protect our hearts from being hurt from the outside world. So once again, that's just the way my experience of people and so how do we move beyond that? Well, one, look at our beliefs. Can people really hurt me? As a child, yes, people could hurt you. They could say words. Their actions could be perceived from a child who's brain hasn't fully developed yet. The reasoning part of our brain hasn't developed, those kind of things can make a child look at themselves and say, oh, I'm not worthy.

And I found what was missing was me. And that's for all of us. We're all miracles, like you said in the intro, we're all miracles. And we all have something so special and so unique to bring to the world that we have to listen to these wake-up calls, my desire magic is nobody has to go through the crisis wake up calls that you and I have experienced, I hope that they can learn to catch him when they're in the conscious stage. Most definitely and that leads us to wealth. So when we talk about wealth, it's not just financial, but also the personal and emotional wealth. So what are your top three tips to creating wealth? It is so easy. We have a program called take a quantum leap. And during take a quantum leap, I take people through what I call the your unique purpose formula. And the three steps in my mind to truly bring abundance into your life is get to know who you are, energetically. And understand how that energy shows up in the world. And that's step one of my 5 steps of the your unique purpose formula. Step two understand what you uniquely bring to the world. Your combination of gifts and talents are unlike anybody else's in the world. I think we're pushing 8 billion people now. In the world. But there's no one with the exact same combination of gifts and talents. And we all developed a process along our lifetime to share those gifts and talents. So if you bring your gifts, talents and process together, you are uniquely qualified to share

"Creating a life fueled by their desires. Welcome Vince that's a fantastic buyer. Well, thanks, magic. I'm so happy to be here. We've had a little bit of trouble getting together, but we're here now and I can't wait to share with your audience. Thank you. Now, let's have a quick look at this bio. Airline pilot, military veteran, you certainly love service. So what made you become a mentor? Well, the interesting thing is it's really a huge part of my story. I told my grandmother when I was 5 years old that I knew I was on earth to help people love themselves and so they could love each other. And where does a 5 year old come up with that? I mean, it's definitely I still remembered my what we call it imagine miracles, my divine intent, my reason for being near my purpose. But like most men, especially I'm 63 years old. So my generation was raised by men who grew up in the 40s and the 50s. And there was a whole nother definition of what a man was supposed to be back then. And shortly after I told my grandmother that my grandfather started teaching me what he thought it was to be a man. He was a little bit more influential in my life than my dad. My dad was influential, but my grandfather was, shall we say that moving target of love? And that was the person I chose to want to please because for some reason that it felt like I needed to get his approval. So he taught me about competing and he taught me about being the best he taught me about good wasn't good enough. All of these old beliefs from somebody in the 30s and 40s. And through that, I truly learned how to be a man the way that society as a whole expected of me when I was that age. And that's where my growth in my desire to do technical things to be a manager, to be a director, to fly airplanes, to be an air force officer, all of those came from, believing that that was what I was supposed to do in life. And that was what was going to bring me the happiness. But all of this success is I've had and don't get me wrong. My life has been very good and sometimes that makes it hard for somebody who's a motivational or a transformational speaker because overall my life's been very good, but there was always something missing. And it took me to about that time frame where we move into it's time to truly live the life that we're meant to live. It's time for me to start making a difference in a world in a way that makes me feel good. When I finally realized what that little 5 year old knew, it was time for me to help people start loving themselves so they could love others. And what a great mission to be on. So I think we should launch into imparting some of your wisdom here for the listeners. Now I ask each of my guests the same three questions. And the vast difference of answers is always amazing and always inspiring. So here comes your first question.

"We broke down a lot of those barriers thank goodness because it did come up a little bit and we said, well, here's a solution. And so we do that, we still do it, maybe not as often now because most of the people who have been with us for a while, but as new people come in, we have them meet with the other departments and meet with the other people and say, here, spend some time with me. Let me show you what I do. And it creates that bond amongst the team. I think that's really important. And K listen man, I could talk to you forever on this. Look at this time just flies. So as we wrap up, I usually ask 5 questions. That are just fun, quick. I call them the one. So that you just answer very quickly. So or what comes to your mind? So the first question I love asking people because I'm really curious for you. So I'm fascinating my son 1617 in that tenth 11th grade. There's a lot of transformation with people in during that time. So if I said to you, if you look backwards to Brian Kramer, 1617 year old, what's the trait that's still consistent, something that's still consistent, you say, yep, it was there. It's still here. That's the first part. Second part is the reverse. If that 1617 year old sees you now, what's the thing that would most surprise them? So the thing that is still there, I would say, is tenacity or drive. That's what's allowed me to get through this significant amount of adversity that I've been through. And not tap out. Sometimes to a fault. What is no longer there is the blaming blaming circumstances blaming others, blaming situations, not taking ownership, not confronting people, head on, you know, hinting and hoping that they're going to know what I'm talking about without just telling them looking them in the eye and just telling them what is going on and so it sounds like this idea of accountability personal accountability and also the ability to hold others accountable and have that confidence. It sounds like in yourself. And not trying to out work. There's a, you know, which I just learned here recently, but I used to just think there was a limitless amount of time, and I could just make up for it by working more, and the next thing you know, instead of working at 8 hour day or 12 hour day, I'm working to 14, 15, 16 hour a day, and then instead of 8 hours of sleep to get four hours of sleep. And I'll just keep out running this, and at some point it's going to catch up, but it never does, because it doesn't have to be like that. The work has to be distributed, and that was a painful learning lesson. And I don't think that that's something that comes natural. That's something that has to be learned. That's a great answer. Number two, what's one thing you're reading, listening to or watching, that's inspiring you that you would share with others..

"And I said, I got it, I got it. And then I learned the hard way I didn't. So I had an associate that was doing something they shouldn't have done, so I had suspended that person. Before I had time to write the report and upload it to him, the associate called human resources human resources called him, and said, hey, are you aware that Brian Kramer did this? No, because that's impossible because he and I have a no daylight rule. And so that he called me up and he said, hey, did you? I said, yeah, I was just about to call you. You know, and it got very passionate from there. So I knew that was out of bounds marker. But the interesting thing was, he said, okay, now you get to go through the process. If everybody questioning everything, even though I believe you, it's going to be four or 5 hours taken away from your day from this hijack because I'm not going to lie to my team and say, oh, I did know about that when I didn't. Because you didn't tell me. He said, all you had to do was tell me. So I didn't get blindsided. And we wouldn't be having this conversation. You would have 5 hours back tomorrow. So every time you have daylight between you and I, he goes, now if you would have called me, I would have said, oh yeah, he just called me, not a big deal. I'm in the loop. Don't worry about it. Right. And there's so many examples that I see every single day because most people say, why do I want to bring up a problem? If we don't know for sure, it's a problem. Let's roll the dice. And leave my odds are 50, 50, rather than Wendell hardy. Who I've worked together for the longest time, but that's a core tenant of what we do is no daylight..

Senators Urge Biden to Add More H-2B Seasonal Worker Visas
"17 Republicans just signed a letter to Joe Biden. I'm reading from breitbart dot com demanding saying we need more foreign workers. So there are 12 million Americans out of work, there's 35 to 40 million members of my generation that are underemployed. Let me say that again. They are underemployed. So you're not even looking at unemployment. Let's talk about underemployment. Now, what is underemployment? Well, it's someone that went to Wichita state university, and they got a degree in Central American migratory bird studies. And they're working as a barista or they're working as some sort of social media manager, but they are clearly underemployed. But don't worry, Senate Republicans are on the job. Senate Republicans believe that while Biden is trying to bring more people into the country, they want to help them do that. Senators asked Biden to speed up the process, so employers could get more foreign workers into blue collar American jobs. So while we have inflation and while things are more expensive, they want to bring in more foreign workers so that you could depress wages. So prices are going up, so let's try to get our own carpenters and plumbers disenfranchised from ever being able to have meaningful work. Why are they doing this? Well, the 17 Republicans who signed the letter, and I respect some of these people, and I philosophically see where Rand Paul is coming from on this. I totally disagree with him. He's more libertarian when it comes to immigration. I am not. But some of these other people, Kevin Kramer, Mike rounds Lindsey Graham, James rish, Lisa Murkowski, Roy blunt, Cynthia lummis, John cornyn, Mike crapo, John thune, Susan Collins pat toomey, roger wicker, Jerry Moran, Rand Paul, who I'm going to exempt Rand Paul because he's been so amazing on Fauci and honestly, he's a friend of mine, and he's just been awesome on many other things. John barrasso and Tim Scott, but they sign it alongside 17 Democrats. And it says, quote, The White House and congressional Democrats, that's a separate quote. This is from RJ hauman from the federation for American immigration reform, saying quote, Republicans say they're great on the illegal front due to the border crisis, but why not also oppose programs that a rife with abuse displace American workers and depressed wages, of course they do.

Which i think is kind of a litmus test for cultural relevance and the seinfeld version is that kramer is going to a movie theater and he's trying to smuggle in a cafe lot hey and he gospels it. Somehow it burns his leg and he's like i'm going to sue the coffee company because the coffee was too hot and like what a ridiculous thing to sue anyone for making hot coffee hot. It's supposed to be hot. Her and all of this is based on a case. Where there is this. Elderly woman named florence. Liebeck it's actually stella liebeck. Stella why do i think her name's florence. Is there a florence liebeck. I think you're thinking of florence in the coffee machine alright. Stella that's great. What a great name. Who went to mcdonald's drive-thru and she ordered a hot coffee and it spilled somehow and she got burns from the coffee and she sued mcdonalds and the way the story went was mcdonald's had given her like thirty trillion dollars. And there was this sense of lake will what next like. Why doesn't everyone sue every large corporation for a lot of money for a product behaving in a predictable way. Yeah i mean the term that you heard a lot at the time was jackpot justice. Was this idea that people are doing these completely normal things like we've all spilled coffee on ourselves and blowing them up into these like. Oh my life was never the same. After i spilled up. You know luke warm cup of coffee on myself. It's the juxtaposition between this completely. Every day normal thing that happens to everybody and the massive settlement that this woman got by suing mcdonalds and then also i feel like maybe this isn't true but my understanding was that it was because of this like whenever you get a beverage from anywhere still today. If it's hot it'll say like caution contents

Silicone: Should We Be Scared?
"Had someone damn me about a shampoo that i said. I'm going to try this out. That has silicon in it just behalf. I was like be careful. Like a scorpion. Sorry silicon let's talk about. Silicon is varying types as well so it's such a broad topic but silicon is almost like i want you to think like remember back in school when he used to contact your books yes and it was a lovely film and protected you books. That's what silicon is doing your hair. it's kind of almost like a plastic coaching. I guess when they kind of wax apple's so my personal viewpoint my hey love silicon. Same my hair is dead. So i treat it differently and your harry said to. Everyone's harry's did mine extra data in damaged. Everyone's hey on the hate is dead pertains whereas your skin is living so it's quite different. You can nourish them in different ways. What silicon dossiers goes on and it does the head but it kind of feels in the little pothole. So you've got pot holes in your hair strand and it would be nice to drive down if you were driving but still can goes in and fill in those potholes and makes the hair shaft look nice uniform and shiny and most of us wanted us shampoo and conditioner to make our hair shiny. The argument is it's not actually making your hey healthy it's making it look and feel healthy which i kind of understand because again another analogy. It's kind of like a barrier cream skin without trading it under the barry. Exactly so what you would be doing. I guess the barry kramer's you've got all your delicious nourishing serums underneath. But then you you barry cream on top so i guess the argument is it's kind of creating this karting and other stuff con gideon. That doesn't bother me so much because it's not like i'm trying to fade a live organism. I just want it to look and feel shiny and not be naughty when i'm trying to brush it when it's wit which silicon

I'll be like a screaming kid like somebody will look back. Think they're about to see a chick. It's just like panicking. That actually reminds me of a quick story. I had the most terrifying moment i've ever had amusement park. I know this is about about rocky. But if you don't mind it's a pretty good story. go ahead go ahead so you rides. Rides they take up really at high and then they just free fall. You draw right okay. Yeah the first time. I did one of those loved. It thought it was so cool. I wanted to go back on again.

"And i wanted to make sure that the music is what comes first for. Sure i mean you could have been worse you could have been like a rockstar satanic like one eylau say i really like a rockstar. You upload like an eighty cent remix kinda by two it on youtube and that. I really kind of enjoyed that a little bit more than the original knocking ally like good good good. I the idea i was. I was really listening to a band called churches. And they're like synth pop. They're from scotland. And and i was really digging their music and i was thinking you know. Like and they're they're they're a new ban but they're using a lot of that sort of eighties mentality. Lot of says Drum machines and i was thinking rockstar which was always kind of an eighties tampa song. I think it may be. It came out a little bit more. Seventies sounds thinking what if i just went all eighties the whole thing so i was kinda thinking more michael jackson more like Bon jovi type of mentality and just without really changing anything other than not using not using any guitar wanna see i could just make it all sense different challenge. It came out very very very well and good. I'm you joy. I thought it was fun. It's a good. It's a good experiment to take your. You know your own music. Something you created decided that this is how it's going to be and then flip it upside down and see what else you can do with it. And i mean i probably do the whole album in in different ways and i think it's a good exercise for any songwriter. Or or or. I guess producer will ill it can open your mind up to think of new. Sounds when you're creating new music you know you're making a whole new song you can. Now you've had this experience of doing these different sounds and it can kinda help you like i'm going to add this and this you kind of bring out a little bit but yeah so Before i forget. Because i wanted to ask this question to what what what made you think of the name firestorm for your album but the very origin of the of the term was actually it a video game called tiberius son and there's an expense expansion pack called firestorm. That's where i got the word to keep in mind. That english is my second language. So i you know. Firestorm was not a word in my vocabulary originally so But the meaning of it. And the way i used for this album was i mean the. The album is of ballots. A teenager wanting to make his dreams come true. And you're a teenager. You know there's a lot of motion. This kind of a lot of anger built up. Maybe because you're not things can't happen the way you want him to an things you know things. You have to wait for certain things to happen. And there's a lot of that that anger that just sort of was built up sort of fire in my head so the song is a song called attitude which is definitely the heaviest song on the album in. It says there's a firestorm in my head and he won't go away before i get away and which was the idea of getting away not so much physically from norway but but just getting away from the mentality that i had sort of feeling like i'm sheer and i can't go anywhere which is not the case. Obviously it's that that prison you create in your mind and just wanted to sort of that. Get away from that. You know getting away from myself. Almost so storm is just that that is what's cloudy in your judgment. That's perfect yeah. It's a very good analogy. It really is. i really liked. That's a perfect name for that album and it really is it. It fits very well with the story that you're telling which which leads me to How was it when you when you you jumped off and you left way. You came to america. I can't imagine because i've lived in texas my entire life. I can't imagine like the feeling of making transformation. How was it. it was it was pretty wild. It's a i came here. It was in september and it was still very warm. It was much warmer like norway. By the time you get to september all i think it was like the twenty first of september and it was pretty chilly nor win in and going here and it was still summer. Still warm was like feeling that was like the very first My first impression. Of and then i think one of our first days i was here i went to an english school and i remember. We went to hollywood and we were driving around. On like one of those tourist buses they were taking us around beverly hills and we went to santa monica in all these areas that i've been looking at on on his computer screen. You now sudden them here and it's almost like magic in a way which doesn't happen very often now. it's like okay. I'm actually here is looking at. I'm looking at the hollywood sign. It's right there taking pictures of it. You know it's amazing and And it was. I was determined from the day. Want to try to make something.

"Honored and grateful to be there. I was just gonna say. I mean it must be amazing to think i mean. We talked about working in the city with penn and teller david copperfield. And people that you you grew up watching and now you're at this legendary property that has all this history is the international as you say with elvis and and as the hilton. And now you're like you're a part of that folklore. You're part of that history. How cool is that. Thank you thank you. it's a it really is a special place in a stachel property. And as i mentioned the people really make it what it is. People history You just feel it when you're there you feel what a special place that is and i again just feel so fortunate to have the chance to do my there. That's so awesome Something that i've learned in spending a lotta time. In las vegas and getting to know a lot of performers and hanging out and being fortunate enough to be kinda welcomed into their their circles is you guys are also charitable you do so much charity work and so much of your your own time spent working on other other things and helping other people. You mentioned magicians without borders. Which again is such a cool concept in such a cool idea. Are there any other charities that you get involved with in in around the las vegas area absolutely so it's always been super important To me to use magic forget and to be able to to do charitable work with magic. And as i mentioned magicians without borders. I love there's also an organization called win win entertainment and it was founded by fellow vegas entertainer jeff sevilla ago. And the idea is that for the last few years i've been involved with them and they are the liaison between vegas performers and charitable organizations and and dad children's hospitals in las vegas so they would enable performers to go to local children's hospitals and perform magic there for the pediatric patients Which was so incredibly rewarding. And then when covid hit i have to give win win such credit because they really pivoted beautifully to virtual visits and so during the pandemic. I've had the opportunity to continue working with win win. Entertainment and visiting children's hospitals virtually and what's pretty cool about bad is that i've been able to visit hospitals not only in las vegas but everywhere from orlando charleston minneapolis You know all around the country they partner with hospitals and we could do magic through zoom or through video chat with with these children's hospitals and with the patients and It's just been such Such a rewarding part of my life. And i've had to say win win. Entertainment is that is is an amazing group so if any of your listeners performers who want to get involved i'd say definitely check it out. I've had a terrific experience working with them. Something else that. I wanted to touch on here in our conversation is Magic is such a a male dominated field of entertainment Is there any particular issues or challenges that you've run into as a as a woman working in magic. I mean i'm sure there's various stereotypes or issues that you've you've come up against ira. Magic has historically been A male dominated field for share. That hasn't been said there have been some amazing women in magic through the years and I think i think some of the some of the challenges might be things like Some of the old school books in magic would say things like ok reach into your right trouser pocket and then your inner jacket coat pocket. And i'd be this ten year old girl thinking i don't have a trouser pocket or an inner jacket coat clock it but i really like to see those as opportunities to get creative and to do things differently. I've been so fortunate to have really wonderful people in my life really supportive people And so i'm really proud to be a woman in magic and you know as as as far as i saving a woman's just part of who i am and so i if i can incorporate that into the magic i do and share that with an audience great but i just. I just want to do good work. I just wanna do good magic hilarious at. I'm just gonna take the listeners behind the curtain here for a second gen and i are chatting via zoom so we can actually see each other and when you reach into your jacket pocket. I don't know why. But i expected something to fly out. I don't know what it's like. I know exactly. Like i know you. Don't just walk around with birds in your in your sleeves. That's not a thing that happens. But i was just i don't know why but i was just like reaching in something's gonna come out. I don't know what's going to happen. I want to chat about covert nineteen and how this whole thing has kind of affected you. I know a lot of performers have done virtual performances online stuff. Youtube shows things like that. How have you managed to keep yourself busy through this entire situation on my my show at west gate involves so much audience participation so when When covid did hit. I remember thinking. Okay I wanna make sure that i can keep the show really engaging when we reopen And i see the show is something. That's constantly evolving. I just always wanted to continue making the show better. So i during this pandemic time. I've really thought through every moment of the show thinking. Okay how do i make this more. Covid friendly and safe for our new normal While also keeping it engaging and exciting and I think really diving deep on the creative on that has been has been definitely a creative challenge in in some ways to take these routines that i've gotten so accustomed to doing a particular way where people would come up on stage or they would volunteer their objects or they would touch things and i had to think okay. How am i going to do this in a way. That will still keep the audience really excited and feeling like it's interactive and they're a part of the show but But also make it work in our new normal and What i'm happy about. Is that some of the changes that we've made. I think they've i think the situation has really pushed me to make changes that ended up making the show better. Anyway which is great. You know we had. Some new props built and reworked several routines. And i'm really happy with with work that that My team and i have been doing on that. And i just can't wait to be back at west gate and to share that with an audience. I did want to ask Several of the people that i've talked to over the course of this whole shutdown pandemic situation have said that in some ways they've actually welcomed the time off because it's giving them an opportunity to work on other projects things that they haven't had the time to be able to work on because you guys are crazy busy. You're doing four five. Six seven shows a week often. Have you had that opportunity to develop a few new tricks or a few new show elements in the time that you've had away it has it has of course i i really miss getting onstage. I miss having a live audience. I miss my family at west gate and the awesome people that i work with. I just can't wait to be back but at the same time you're right. It really has given me an opportunity to really dive into the creative and work on new magic routines and develop new ideas and do all kinds of things that i've always wanted to do. I mean just just this past weekend just two days ago. I took a test for a remote pilot certification. Because i've always wanted to learn how to fly a drone and be able to incorporate that video footage into magic videos that i produce and so i thought what better time to learn how to do this and to to take the test so we took the test and fortunately passed the test so really excited about that. So all kinds of things like that. But i had the opportunity to do and You know magic projects that you take a lot of time and energy.

"From your uncle was magic even something on your radar tall. Was it something you interested in or was it just like. Here's one of these random gifts from relative that you're like you know what i'll give that a try. It really is amazing to think back on how that one gives changed my life so much i read. It really changed my trajectory. But i think you know my uncle who had been performing magic for many years not as a full-time professional but as a hobbyist as someone who really just love magic magic enthusiast I think i had seen him perform magic. Just family gatherings and he must have noticed that i took an interest in it. And i think that's what prompted the birthday guest. That really did change my life and and growing up doing magic as a kid. Did you have any particular Magician idols inspirations people that you you really watched anybody that you really wanted to model yourself after so many so many. I'm thinking back to the magicians on television as a kid. Of course david. Copperfield penn and teller. david blaine. there's so many incredible magicians and then there is a couple a magician. Mime couple named tom. Janet verner who started organization called magicians without borders. And i. i met them. When i was twelve years old. And we've been friends ever since and had the opportunity to work together. Basically what they do through their organization. Which i now serve on the advisory board of and it's something really close to my heart but they travel around the world going to places where people are facing some really really tough situations and they spread hope and happiness through magic and they really just used their magic for good. They partnered with the un to raise awareness about hiv and aids. They've done all kinds of really amazing things through performance so they were real role models to me growing up as well skipping forward a little bit here to your time in vegas now and you mention you. People like penn and teller and people like david copperfield. How mind blowing is it for you to now. Be living in the city working in the city. Having your face up on billboards around las vegas with people like penn and teller and david copperfield. Who are also headliners in las vegas. It's such a dream come true Really had been my dream for such a long time to have a las vegas residency and to have the chance to share my magic and do my show and now i do the show at west gate currently on paused due to covid but can't wait to be back and it's something i just just really grateful for and i feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to do something that i love so much that i really care about and you had a chance to perform for penn and teller as well. You've been on fool us which is so cool. Hot thank you so much. I had so much fun doing that. I have to say like i mentioned. They were role models to me. Ever since i first got started magic just having the chance to perform for them was Very exciting little nerve wracking. But in a good way and getting the chance to beyond their show even at the beginning of the pandemic they did a new tv special called ten her. Try this at home and then try this at home. Too and the concept there was that different magicians would share with the audience. How to do simple magic tricks with everyday objects that you could do to amaze your family while everybody stuck at home. So i taught a trick on that tv special and it involved peanut butter jelly and pickles so any listeners happened to have a jars of peanut butter and jelly lying around. And you wanna. Wow your friends and family. You can find that up on youtube but just getting a chance to work of panatela in their team through the years. Been something that. I've so appreciated that's awesome was magic something. I mean going to university. You're going to college. You went to school at yale. Which is very very cool. It's one of those magical places that i mean for someone like myself in canada. You hear about yale and it's like it must be like hogwash. With all of the must be very storied history. I don't know why turn british they're all of the sudden very storied history and castles and an ivy and all that kind of stuff when you went to school at yale was magic and performing in the arts. Something that was was on your mind when you're going there or so many other entertainers that i talked to when they go to college like well. I'm gonna go get a such and such degree and you know this entertainment thing might work out for me. I loved magic. I knew that. I really wanted to pursue magic fulltime. I think the college years for me were about figuring out how to do that. How to go about taking this thing. That i care so much about and turning it into a full time profession making it a reality in in the practical sense of of that working out the details figuring out. How do you support yourself as a magician. And what routes can you take. Because i think for for some other professions. There's a bit more of a path laid out. You know if you want to become a lawyer you go to law school. I want to become a doctor. You go to medical school if you you know various professions you sort of know okay. This is the path i'm going to take. I think as a performer. Part of the excitement of it but also part of the challenge of what needs to be worked out is how do you do. How do you chart your own course and figure out. Okay this is going to be my path so the college for me were really about figuring out. How do i make this a reality. My dream of being a magician fulltime and something else that you did at yale which i thought was was really cool was You helped to bring together Aspiring young magicians attending yale by helping to found the yale magic society. Thank you so much. I remember when i first showed up on campus. I have the same thoughts that you did. Jeff about the gothic architecture. Reminded me so much of hogarth's from harry potter and it really magical five and Community has been such an important part of my life in magic. Ever since i first got started magic and i was part of a young. Magicians group called the society of young magicians that met new york and that was a huge really formative part of my life growing up in magic and so community has been so important to me and i really wanted to have that in college and i fully expected. Initially that y'all would already have a magic society. It it already has a sitter magical atmosphere like we were talking about but It didn't at the time so i found some other. Magicians floating around campus started the group and so happy to say that the group is still going strong to this day. And i love keeping in touch with them and finding out what they're up to. We've had a chance to do a joint trip between the magic society and magicians without borders the organization. I mentioned earlier a few years ago where we traveled to india we went to mumbai into rural gujarat performing magic together and just getting a chance to connect these two groups that i love so much the gm society magicians without borders was just a really wonderful experience and being that you are now a professional magician who is Headlining the las vegas strip and that you are still quite heavily involved with the society I assume that you get reached out to often by students and members of the society who have a question for you to find out how they can follow the same career path as you sheriff and And i love. I love hearing about what they're up to. Each of their paths is because in in magic. They're just so many ways to be a magician and there are so many pets that you can follow. You know you can go into the corporate market you can do college shows you can be in las vegas which to me has always been the magic mce but there are also lots of other vibrant places where you can do magic. So it's exciting to me to see how they all grow as magicians in.
