"And that in many ways, he brought to The White House. Penultimate question, before I go to the pardon. Because I want people are waiting for the pardons. I'm making him wait. For the pardon. I want to talk about Mel Laird, because honest to goodness, roger, Richard, I have never thought about Mel Laird, other than he was the first term sect death. And I don't know it. He is, he's everywhere in this book. And I had no idea. He was like king of burning tree and of Jerry Ford's presidency. He's everywhere. There's a great line, actually, Bob Dole, who knows very well, had a lot in common with him. He said, Melania was the kind of guy who would put poison in the well. And then write down into town and promise to save everyone. He was the ultimate steamer, the ultimate weaker. I mean, probably there was no one in Washington in recent history who knew again. Which buttons to push. And he was, for example, he was insisting that Ford well, he was insisting that Nixon picked forward his vice president. He should want a John Conway. Conway couldn't get confirmed. Recent party switcher, all of that. And so somewhat reluctantly. Nixon refers to Ford in a telephone conversation that I'm certainly never thought would be discovered as an honest Truman. Which I don't think he meant as a particular compliment, although us listening to it today. Thank you. That's a great compliment. It's a great compliment. Exactly. And anybody, Ford was sort of foisted off on. Although they had had a long, genuine, it's much as you have in politics. A friendship. And for example, in 1962, when Nixon lost the governorship in California, ABC did this astonishing program called the political obituary of Richard Nixon in which Alger is on camera pronouncing. Political demise. And the one Republican they could get to go on the show to a defend Nixon and be insistent Nixon's political career was not over was J Ford. And Nick should appreciate that. Genuinely appreciate that. So there was that. The story of the airplane lied to the Sadat funeral. I've known about that forever. I also didn't know that Brent's go crop thought it was awful for Nixon to go to China in 76. I thought the opposite was true, but there's just stuff throughout here. But let's go to the two parts of the pardon that people, I think are so relevant to today. First, there's the agnew option. I wrote about this for the post that if Jack Smith has a couple of indictments on the president and his hand, former president Trump and goes down to Mar-a-Lago and says, I'm going to convict you and you're going to federal prison unless you agree to get out. The agnew option looms. And that is detail here. Stuff I never knew. And like I didn't know Jerry Ford knew about it 6 months earlier and I didn't know about the specifics of the charge and you detail all the corruption in Maryland and how agnew took the briefcases of money. And then the pardon and how complicated it was to come up.

"Last 50 some years. And another way we could say that is 60% of all gold throughout humanity. 60%. Began to be mined. Right here at the end of 1971 in this modern period, nearly two thirds of the world's gold has been mined in the last 50 years. So that's gold. Let's take a look at silver. All right, so silver, the white metal, secondary to gold, always. It's the line here on the chart. And as its secondary to gold, you might imagine the supply of course is much larger than gold. It's less scarce than gold. And we can see indeed there are many more ounces that have come out of the ground of silver, than gold, so gold is here. Way down here at 6.4 billion ounces. How many ounces of silver have been mined throughout humanity? About 56 billion ounces, 56 billion ounces of silver, roughly 56 billion ounces of silver, have been mined. As of December, 20 22. If you're wondering where I got this data, this wonderful historical data was compiled by an Australian gentleman. His name is Nick Laird. He's written a lot in the gold and silver sectors. Of course, I'm checking things, especially in later years with industry resources such as the world gold council or the silver institute. And I make some of my own adjustments as well, but the bulk of the research comes from Nick. And he's done a wonderful job. And it goes well beyond this as well, not just the last 220 years, but and we'll look farther back in the past as well for some of this data. But nonetheless, let's even take gold off. And let's just look at silver here. We can see that it started out with 5.8 billion ounces. So not quite the gold count today. But 5.8 billion ounces of silver, we had mine throughout humanity as of the year 1800. And today we've mined 50 more billion ounces, 50 more billion ounces. Again, it's a study constant increase you see during World War II as well, even in spite of World War II, there was more silver coming out of the ground. As there were many commodity products, specifically in the 30s, as Germany and the Soviet Union and Japan were arming themselves with. Militarily and all the rest, many minerals and commodities. There was a big boom in the 1930s because of that. So we see we see a pretty constant increase here in the stock of silver, and let's go

"Of Wall Street week. I'm David Westin. China has loomed large once again this year in the thinking of investors, as it is pursued a zero COVID policy triggering public resistance to the shutdowns that followed. It has seen its growth slow, raising questions for the global economy. And in the middle of it all, president Xi sought and got an historic third term at the 20th party of Congress. Deborah Laird vice chair of the Paulson institute and CEO of Edelman advisory has been a pioneer in understanding Chinese economic policy. Since her days in the trade representatives office negotiating China's accession to the WTO. And she talked to Wall Street week at the time of the party Congress about the significance of it for us all. We are all focused on president Xi and what's going on over in Beijing this week. Give us your sense about what we're learning. It strikes me that one of the biggest challenges he has is the economy and growing the economy. And yet I'm not sure we're hearing much about his economic policy. I hear a lot about politics, a lot about security. That's right. I mean, Xi Jinping gave his all important work report at the beginning of the plenum. And it gave us a few previews of how he's going to start to look at the economy. One of the things that he's emphasizing is common prosperity, his slogan, about how he brings greater equality. One of the things that he's looking at is also how the party can continue to play an important role in the economy and also he did give reassurance to foreign companies that they will continue to push for market opening in key areas. So will we get a sense from the personnel that surround him of where it might be headed because as I understand it, eventually we will see him come out from behind the curtain and we assume everybody assumes that he will get his third term. But there's going to be a critical question of who is with him as he comes out. Absolutely. The important thing and we're all watching for this weekend when the new party lineup is going to be announced, there's a lot of rumors starting to fly around, although not as many as they're usually are. But it's like a big guessing game because that will give us really our first clue into what the third term is going to look like. And I think there are three important things to watch. One is going to be what happens to lika Chung, the premiere, does he continue to stay on the standing committee? He's termed out of staying on as the premiere, but could they make him the number two and head of the national People's Congress to who will be in the lineup to then take the premier position and the two leading candidates appear to be Wang Yang, whose viewed as being more open on the economic issues and Wang huning who really is an ideologue. And the third to watch is what happens to Lyon, who's currently the vice premier, who's in charge of the economy and finance, does he stay, he has good relations with many foreign firms or who really comes in to take his portfolio. One of the things that we watch in the west and we may be right or wrong in watching it is the extent to which the markets in some way play a substantial role in economic policy over there. It strikes me that it's possible to interpret president Xi thus far as moving somewhat away from the markets. A lot of what are your emphasis right now is ideology. And I think it's what he came out of, more than perhaps we've seen in the past. Absolutely, we're seeing much more emphasis on ideology under Xi Jinping. And if we look back under chunks and then Jags them in was saying the party is big enough to include business. She takes it in a different way. He says the party is all encompassing and it should be forced into business. And so ideology is playing a much bigger role. Also, we need to keep an eye on how she's favorite slogan common prosperity is going to be implemented. China surprisingly is actually much more unequal than the United States. And one of the things that he's trying to do through this common prosperity, slogan is say there should be a cap on executive salaries. We should be looking at big companies, particularly the private sector giving back to the community. And how that's going to be implemented at the same time when he's trying to grow the economy when he's trying to encourage entrepreneurship and create jobs is going to be a very tough thing for him to balance. Well, I was going to ask exactly about that Deborah because through history, a lot of people have said we should have more equality, less inequality, whether it's income or wealth. But a lot of attempts to get that done actually do get in the way of growth overall. Absolutely. I mean, in China and we've talked about this before, the overwhelming majority of Chinese companies are small and medium sized enterprises. It's up into the 90s. They are responsible for about 60% of China's growth and about 60% of job creation. And so if you can't create the right atmosphere for them to grow, you're going to have a significant impact on China's ability. And right now she's facing a lot of headwinds when it comes to the economy. He's got issues still to deal with with real estate market. It's one of the only places that Chinese people can invest and obviously housing prices are going down at the moment. The world is facing a global recession and she is still very dependent on exports to grow the economy. He needs to find a way to unlock consumer spending. And that's very hard to do when you don't have confidence in the path of the economy and particularly when you don't have the kind of social

"Jarrett thank you so much We appreciate it Want to get right to our next guest Laird landman Generalist portfolio manager TC W's fixed income group Maybe it's just me but when I've been talking to you and your colleagues at CW really over the last couple of years it seems like you guys have been very conservative outlook Is that correct Have you guys generally been more conservative than you would say the market in terms of your fixed income outlook Well I think when rates were a lot lower we were a lot more conservative and you obviously had much better liquidity back then and it just seemed like the market had been over liquified So yes except for a few weeks in March of 2020 we've been pretty conservative And I always tell people Matt is not a small firm When I was a sell side equity analyst you didn't even think about booking a plane ticket to LA unless you had TC W and capital group on your schedule Yeah they know what they're doing All right so Laird we've had this big big incredible underperformance in the fixed income markets historic here in 2022 What do you make of that And can I go out and buy bonds now Well it's tough to be the go to the market Not in the sense of greatest of all time but to be truly the goat in this situation I do think it's getting safe to buy bonds I think value has come back to the marketplace You've seen the range settle down here volatility is probably getting ready to move somewhat lower agency mortgages look extremely attractive at this point I mean they fully discounted sort of the fed exit from QE to QT That's interesting Even corporates are beginning to look corporates and high yield are beginning to look at least neutral I mean you have to have the kind of visibility already mister market has to be able to see what's coming from the fed at this point So is it all priced in You know our belief is that right now we're pricing two and a half by the end of the year on fed funds Does the fed get there or not It's hard to say but there will be a lot of obstacles between here and there They always tighten until they break something I can't tell you what they're going to break but it will be they'll break something on the way And I think at that point we'll all get all clear signal So our guess is before the end of the year we'll have a pause out of the fed and the environment will get a lot more promising You know layered on the stock side there's been a lot of talk about whether or not we've seen capitulation Do we need to see capitulation What is capitulation It's pretty points out it's surrender We haven't seen the vix up over 34 35 So it doesn't feel like it from a stock perspective What about from a fixed income perspective Yeah I'm not sure we've seen capitulation I think you have to be an awful droid and skilled trader to wait until you get that moment before you start adding So we're not waiting at this point We're not going to we're not maxing out our risk budgets yet I think you do see that point where the fed breaks something And there has to be a turn at that point And you will get capitulation for a brief period of time And it is higher vol at that point It's probably a flight to quality It's probably spreads moving even wider than they are today But probably not an agency mortgages were targeting sort of our largest overweight at this point in time That's probably the time you're supposed to pivot and move back towards high yield back towards loans Back towards investment grade credit I'm looking at my IN go function the Bloomberg index browser and I'm seeing global aggregate Bond performance here to date -10.6% U.S. corporate year to date performance -12.5% and Bond pros like you tell me that is historic underperformance How did we get here and does that not create the buying opportunity of all time Well I don't know if it's end up being the buying opportunity of all time I do think we have secular forces coming into place that will keep inflation a little more stubborn than people expect And for a little bit longer than people expect But obviously the cowboy math gets you there pretty quickly We started with basically no coupon An index that was extending out towards the mid 6s and duration You get a few hundred basis points to back up and you quickly get those ten 12 points It reminds me of 1994 when the fed tightened from historically low rates of around 3% you didn't have a lot of coupon or income to cushion the price move And it makes bonds dangerous at that point I think bonds have gotten a lot safer as we've moved up but there's still risk here in these markets as we move towards unprecedented potential fed policy in terms of QT and raising rates at the same time in dramatic fashion You're far too young to have been there yourself but does the inflation and gross situation right now remind you of the 1970s I was old enough to be sitting in the gas lines at that point Doesn't quite remind me of that but I do think that there are some secular factors like rearming of nations competition for resources We're already seeing countries around the world talking about export bans on grains on energy to basically preserve their national natural resources that does remind me of the 70s a little bit And I think that those are sexual headwinds that will help be dealing with for quite a while All right Larry good good stuff Always appreciate getting your thoughts and perspective the TC W folks boy they were conservative and they were right I think That's how I'm going to look back on those guys Laird landsman landman I'm sorry general's portfolio manager TC W fixed income group big I mean Laird's team oversees $225 billion to fix the Dartmouth in the 80s Yeah Had to be awesome right And NBA from Chicago those folks are serious there with their numbers That's why it probably wasn't for me All right let's go down to Washington D.C..

"That's why the money's not out there for him. It's a really interesting sign in because they continue to or visit because they continue to like this guy. They continue to kick the tires on the bar. Any time that they have an opportunity to get their hands on them, they've been interested. They've been in the winning. And we know he's not a posed. Remember, he was going to sign he said, if it wasn't for Brady, he would assign here in 2020. If Brady had called him to join him in Tampa, he would have signed here. So then again, it was a different situation. We talk about he wants the touches to get the contract and all of that. But he's not opposed to the idea in general of playing into England and playing for Bill Belichick. And by the way, he's playing Jacksonville. He's playing Tampa. He plays college football at LSU, you know, down in Louisiana. But you mentioned the running style. Leonard fournette in the winter in New England. Oh, that would be something. That's what he's something. When you look at like Leonard Laird, laguerre blunt splits by month, right? His December January splits are always insane, right? Like they're always, I mean, that's where he made his money. I just remember blunt in those colts playoff games in The Rain and the snow. Yeah, I mean, that seems like a Leonard fournette's Wheelhouse. I don't mind it as much. You know, I don't like running backs. It drives me crazy, the payer running back any sort of money, but I know the way the Patriots think. And I know the way the Patriots work. And they're gonna want four running backs on the roster that they can trust on game day in the lineup. And right now, they have two and a half. I'm counting James White as a half for the time being because we don't know about he's an unknown, yeah. So I'm saying they have two and a half without Brandon Bolden in the building. They don't have Brandon Bolden anymore. I know they signed time Montgomery. When they announced deciding, I wouldn't look too much into it, but they didn't announce him as a wide receiver. And I do think that they look at Montgomery as more of a special teams replacement for Brandon Bolden on kick coverage units than an offensive replacement for a guy like Brandon Bolden. So they need to they still need to have there needs to be another back. I don't necessarily think there needs to be another bag but the Patriots I know do. And I think they also don't really think JJ Taylor is it. He's been in the building for a while. They've never given him the opportunity at this point. So they know they're going to get another back one way or another. Whether it's the draft, whether it's Leonard fournette, whether it's another veteran running back, that's a little bit cheaper than Leonard fournette, whether it's a UDF a that's on Alex's list, they're going to have some sort of, there's going to be another running back in the mix here. Right, yeah. And yes, I max Borg, you'll have he's included in my running back preview, which will be up Thursday on 98 5 sports of dot com.

"Bostick you guys can certainly see the video that we're talking about rock or country hence he your rock person at all. We haven't talked about that. You know it's funny. I used to thing some rock songs and my cover band back in the day. And i just haven't really spent a whole lot of time in like a rock phase where territory. Yeah country taught me how to write songs. I feel like listening to and singing country pop song hit songs over and over again. So i think if i had to choose one but third. I think you'd find beauty and every absolutely would you say that you're an early bird or naito. Early bird loria yes. I was up at five fifty five mornings. Well yeah we're we're a rare breed for musicians most musicians or up all night and sleep all day kind of thing. But i think it's also maybe what kind of using that you're doing and what kind of places that you're playing i think will dictate a lot of whether you're up all night or sleeping all day kind of thing. You might even come back to that age thing you talked about. So yeah i was gonna say sews or something wrong with like sitting around at eight o'clock at night and start start. Yawning man must be must be midnight. And you look at your watch is like wet is only eight ten so i used to say a very late and that was by creative time but over the years. I've just gone to bed earlier and gotten up earlier. Xp creative when whatever you know. But you know what i find too is that i find my most creative time is five six in the morning. Like i'll come edit. And i'll do things like that for my show early in the morning that i think that's just when my brain is fresh and my brain at seven thirty eight o'clock it starts to do this. It starts to. It's like you look out the window and it's like it's getting dark so the brain just kinda like shuts down the body follows it but i find my most creative times are in the mornings and i don't know if that's the case for you or not but it's it sounds like that it might be whereas it used to be made late at night at right yup about a favorite place to play. You might plead the fifth on this. Because i tell a lot of my guests. You might want to plead the fifth. Because you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings that might be booking you and whatnot but if you can share a favorite place to play pretty hard to beat the running auditory sure. Yeah i would say the rhyme or the opera house that was just such a dreams. Come true for me that when it happened you know it was not only the space but the dream being realized my dream. Venue this point now that those have already happened as well overhaul so i keep saying that hope that i can. Maybe play that that menu in london some day and i don't. I don't know that. I'm all that familiar with it. But i do remember her. Adele doing a live recording At role albert hall. And i don't remember the song i'm not. I don't follow adele. But i know the song that she sang can't think of the name of it but she singing it and the crowd starts singing back to her. I don't know if you've seen that video but it's also another like it's where she like breaks down when she hears her song saying back to her. But it's in the value that you spoke of so if you get a chance in like to get sappy that's nine good one zero. I'm telling you all the sappy stuff to listen to. But about a favorite song to play live can't make you love me. Love that song so much. So and what about a number one influential musician or band. The just did it for you that you would say. That's they're just it for me or that person's it for me that so hard because there are few but people often here in my music and she's definitely influence and i love that she does so many different styles but i would have to say fair. Barilla's is a big one for me. I mean the fact that she could do musical theater and pops and you know all these others on ras and right for other people well and just. She's incredible so. I would say their relics but also funnier susan. Tobac- their voices. Ross emotional laird thing. Area that's awesome. I love bonnie rate for sure. Is there a favorite song of all time in your is. Is there one song that you can pick out that has been your song your staple song you call the greatest song of all time for whatever reason i say about can't make you love me. I love that song I don't know if there's a second to that in my mind. I want song that kind of become back in my hometown. Like my song. That i cover. So maybe i should have answered the previous question. What this is bobby. Mcgee i do some good sapling every once in a while but it's funny. I used to play this festival in my small hometown. Called nickeled dickel bay and ban that i played with they. They're called travel ground and they would play eight hours that day. And i swear i would say about mcgee an hour by the end of the day my has gone. My voice has gone like janice joplin or you can.

This stuff is about recovery talks about recovery. He about how this helps. And i'm like well just like do lesson. Don't don't need to recover stuff you know. Like look at laird hamilton and then look at trump it just look at the results and say which body do you ultimately want. Do you want that guy's body an energy or do you want this guy's body in energy and i think it will guide you down the right path. I'm just saying i'm thinking out loud here. This is up questioning myself. Like how hard am i gonna go like. Why do i want to recover all the time. Like i just. There's no need to recover all the time. Do you wanna you wanna before we get into topics. Do you want to talk about this Nfc or no so. I just finished up my crypto week. Which was i talked about last pot. They took a week of time cancelled all my other meetings. I said i'm gonna. I'm gonna go. Neck deep in crypto. What does that mean. All these ideas i knew about but i wanted to go play with wanted to go do right. So if you think about like how you can participate in things you can sit on the sidelines and watch you. Can kind of you can kind of jump in and be a player but not another driver could participate or you can create and that's when you really hands on. You're actually making it happen. So i wanted to create as much as possible this week. I had already been on the sidelines watching even participant. There's a whole bunch of protocols and tools and ideas. i never done so anyways. I had this idea. And tell me what you think. So i think we should create an entity at created. It's ready to go. If i just push this button. Okay push okay. Great so create. This entity called five minutes of fame and what it is. It's a one of one token that anybody can own that gives you the right to five minutes of airtime on our show now or anytime in the future you can hold this thing for five years. If you think we're going to be massive big much bigger and five years old a it'll appreciate but once you use it and the way to use it as you burn it right so you own this token the only one of one and when you want to use it you send it to our wallet and that when you send it to our wallet. We've received it. That tells us this. Token has been burned the five minutes of fame. Now you can come on the show and you can hang with us talking to us and you can do whatever you want if you want to. Just repeat the name of your company for five. Straight minutes annoying but doable. You can do it to promote your show that way..

Who's like walked the walk for like i don't know how many years guys like fifty something years old. Ac's just like rip absolutely ripped at that age you kind of know that he's lived a certain lifestyle and have a higher level of trust when this guy selling tea or a you know a breakfast waffle kit. Kito breakfast waffles creamer. Whatever the stuff isn't he has. I do feel like. I trust a lot more than you know. Whatever ron goslings jin. Clearly just celebrity put face.

And i've been watching all the stuff. He's always working out. And for the past maybe four months. I've been working out really hard. I'll do like maybe ten workouts a week so sometimes two days and i'm always sweating. Yeah moving a lot. And i started thinking about this. Because there's this thing that trump said it's always stuck with me and for surveys in the way that he said it just it never went away and someone was like this is right after his physical. Make trump. why don't you exercise. He's like it's a waste of time. I don't want to waste my energy. And they're like what he goes. Yeah like i only have a limited about energy my lifetime. My my my body is like a battery. I'm not gonna use my battery odd exercise when you're building businesses or doing whatever and i have no idea what the truth is this but it got me thinking say i paraphrase but yeah so if you google like trump health battery taught like it's like trump's battery theory or something like that and i have no idea of the lydia this. This could be the stupidest thing ever. I've i don't know. I just thought it was hilarious when he said but it got me thinking like i read david goggin biography and like the dude sweating all the time and like re this at lourdes. Trump gave athletics after college. Because he believes the human body was like a battery with a finite amount of energy which exercise only depleted. He's eight years on Here's a scientist a better analogy. It'd be it's like a fire that you continue to fuel with more colour would need to continue to add fuel. Your flame will die..

But i think a lot. More people should lie. You can look cool. yeah. I don't think more people should lie. 'cause as somebody who used to lie. It's it's really exhausting. what did you lie about. I feel like rude word. I know what. I want to put my days travel. Never looking back. I i wanna talk about this open seat thing. I'm laughing about it but before we get into that people like story stuff. Let me quote. Not a story but do laird. Hamilton is surfer. Yeah so he He is like you. Think of the word like surfer honk. He's like the guy you think like brian. He's like kind of the most famous one. I think he's a little bit older. Now right yeah. He's in his fifties. He could be as old as sixty but he's fifty seven and there's two amazing things about him. The first he has this thing called. Layered superfood have you heard of no. Okay it's interesting for a bunch of reasons. The first reason why it's interesting is layered as interesting to me. He's basically so laird. Hamilton was a surfer in hawaii. He had a troubled childhood but he dedicated the surfing as he might be a little autistic and that he'd like focuses on goal incredibly lucky he'll he'll achieve no matter what obsesses so for a long time is obsessed with finding the biggest wave invented tow in surfing and then eventually he got into a health and he got obsessed with eliminating sugar eliminating flour and just being very very very healthy and so eventually he launched a company called layered superfood and he's obsessed with cop he drinks tons of caffeine loves coffee and he didn't wanna use like almond milk or oatley or anything like that and so he invents this thing called layered superfood it starts with a creamer now. They sell a bunch of different stuff. The budget different cremers a bunch of different health foods. It seems legitimate. I'm going to buy some of them. Some of it because look i like him and i like the idea of what it promises. Although i don't know the science behind it the second reasons why why it's interesting it went. Public is publicly traded and went public with like eighteen million in revenue currently has a market under sixty three million dollars revenue of like fifty. I think a catechal right and layered interests me. Because he's kind of like there's no such thing as a perfect human but he checks all the boxes in terms of doing stuff so physically fit great you emotionally incredibly healthy very stable like when you talk. He sees very wise and like he understands how to treat. People got a great family. It seems Financially very successful adventurous skies my hero. But i don't know if you've ever thought it was interesting that they took the company public. Yes that sounds also Take it public in the us or somewhere else here. It's it's on. The new york. Stock exchange called layered. Superfood doesn't seem to smalls like a penny stock like what is the market cap of. It has eighteen million in revenue. it doesn't have eighteen million in revenue. Now maybe what's the now you can look up. Forty or fifty. It's market cap right. Now is one hundred sixty three its highest. Ever was a two time interesting. Okay in. yeah. I'm kind of like you where there's some like if you're just like a normal instagram influence. Your life hawking some product. Or whoever you're you're you're you're just your normal person. And you're you're hawking some product. It's like okay you know..

"Very very low flexibility huge problem especially in endurance sports for sure and it's framed as dedication but really i definitely extremely damaging but with superfood. I personally feel like that. One is not as as cut and dry cleaning. I feel like in just in my lived experience. There are foods that i eat that. Make me feel better. And their foods that i eat that make me feel worse and that there is a big industry around using artificial things to make food's taste exceptional that in a way that makes them taste better even than foods the way they come in their natural form and i appreciate the idea of kind of rebranding foods as they naturally come as being inherently powerful right and that there was a trend all through most of my twenties of something that you just buy at. The grocery store isn't good enough. It needs to be enhanced somehow right right by external measures right and so. That's how i think of a superfood. I think of like. Wow look at this apple it is beautiful as it comes which to me is a very affirming message layup. You are very beautiful as you come. You don't need to be made any different right right. But i'm certainly open to more interpretations of that. And i am definitely not denying that the term superfood has been used in ways that contribute to dire culture by by people. Yeah i think that this is. This is one of those like really interesting challenges. That happens when you have two brands like kind of coming together. You know and i will say is that i think that there's you know the the like i said like i said at the beginning of this show. The brand value. Overlap between the two brands is really strong. You know so. There's a lot of shared values there. There's definitely some nuance differences between some of the ways that we present our values and some of the way that they present. There's and this is one of the places where i feel like. There's a real opportunity for us. As the founders of picky bars and for picky bars as the brand and as a product philosophy to impact Laird superfood positively. And so that doesn't mean that we'll do everything our way you know. There's there's both sides need to you know kinda come together. Yeah but i think there's i think there's opportunity there and i'm excited about going through all those conversations with them the people that have been really good so i feel confident in saying that the people behind lord superfood dot are not interested in causing harm absolutely and and not interested in. Yeah in in like no. Their intention is to create healthy balanced. Like you know healthy balanced people just laid humans brands little brands just like humans are only know what they know through the experiences. They've had people. They've talked to in the things they've read and all those things and so i leave the only to be for the only reason i know anything about the clean eating thing. Being having a negative association with it is from lauren. And that's really like pretty recently. You know for people to frame that as a positive some intentionally when people use that term. It's not always intended to young negative but intent and impacter thing i do. I think just circling back on that. I think the intention behind the two brands is the same. And that's what makes me feel really good about it. And i think we will continue to affect each other and and i appreciate this question. The reason i pulled it was because these are these are like the the interesting questions that are that are in the nuance of this kind of like post acquisition world with us you know and so i appreciate the question on it just for anyone listening. I think it's just like we're i'm really committed to these things. Yeah also we've all been raised in.

"It's gonna be hard here. It comes maybe that is somehow triggering it. It could be. Yeah there could be something that when you tell our kids when they're laying down in bed like if you're having trouble falling asleep count backwards from one thousand earlier you can't close your eyes and try to close your eyes and you will fall asleep. Yeah one of my interest. I try to stay away to stay away. And then you'll fall asleep. You know not using a device or something but just trying to stay awake. So i don't know maybe try to throw up. That's a good idea to throw up. Try to beat it yeah. It's interesting if you were trying to like de emphasize the importance of something because if if it's mental than it's there's something about the finish that is like there's some big thing that's happening and that's what's making you and so if you so i'm trying to think of ways that you could deemphasize at one would be. Maybe you do a race that you don't tell anyone about so i don't know if there's like a public nature to this if you like friends or family know that you're racing and there's like expectation around it or if it's just completely private or you have somebody sign you up for a race that you don't know the distance of there you go off and on until the until the finish line happens. I don't know back ma'am. I might be interesting in. This doesn't happen in training. Because this line i generally have a weak stomach running marathons but even these shorter distances.

"That's called like the stupid rule committee. A rule is turns out to be stupid. We we discover an application of it that highlights just how stupid it is that it allows for a process that could streamline change change process. I agree and so we need to put this to the stupid rule committee. That doesn't exist. Awesome okay already. The next one. Who i am so thankful you both have found yourselves back to the recording studio after this heck of a year as we get back into racing i ask if either of you have personal. Coaching experiences with quote negative race associated associations in quote. I've been running races. Age group competitively since high school but over the last five years have developed in association with sorry vomiting as soon as i see the finish line. It doesn't matter what distance five keta marathon. I generally have a weak stomach running marathons but even in the shorter distances. I need to pull over to the side. I was never wanted to have a strong kick at the end. In general i was never trying to go that far into the red. This has happened over a dozen times. I think it's one hundred percent mental. I've tried slowing down before the end and totally ignoring the finish line sign fanfare as much as possible. Any mental tips or tricks. Thank you for the humor and honest banter over the years. Oh man. I wish i had a good answer for this such an interesting question. I think it is going somewhere else with negative associations like any time. I run this particular coerce. The same thing happens to me but the seems to be like associated with completing the completion of a major endeavor situation. So i don't know i don't know if this this person believes that it's one hundred percent mental. Maybe that's kind of sounds like it is but but who knows you know. I'm not a doctor or an exercise physiologist. Maybe this happens to certain number of people near the end of an effort. You know. I don't know the only thing that i could think of a similar like involuntary thing that i i don't know that i don't think was mental. But was man. I would cramp like towards the end of my racing of my races all the time. And i like. I don't know how you mentally create a cramp. But i just felt like that was something where i was like knew it was coming and then it would come. You know what. I mean and I just look back at that. And wonder how much of that was influenced by mental stuff also in or just sometimes when i'd finish a race just not being able to finish strong period because of like mental kind of blocks. That's that's what no separation between mind and body so right there. Yeah that idea of pushing like getting stressed out about the the end like knowing that it's going to be hard knowing that it's going to be whatever and then getting stressed out about that and having that be like a negative cycle like a wilting. As opposed to kind of positive like running into the finish do you. I guess mental category of questions about hydration nutrition because a lot of people do those things differently in races than they do in training so that might be just a place to look and then but i agree it could be coming like starting from the mental side. And i can't figure it out i would. I would try the approach of like not carrying Just to see if that takes away some of its power. Yeah if you're just like. I'm gonna. I'm just going to happen and i'm gonna do it sort of the opposite of like. Why does this keep happening. What can i do to stop it. Because like you were saying with Slowing down thing..

"But you can't you can't just overturn a rule for one person with a collective outrage that has been applied to everybody. You know I know that an and i'd like it if they see if we could do that. Like a part of me with like that because it is a really stupid rule but also we need to believe in systems that have a way of changing rules. That we aren't just disc- nobody wants a discriminatory applied rules. Yes i can. We'd like to go this rules dumb. Let she carry run. But then you're basically endorsing discriminatory applying not applying rules as a concept which we don't want to do with water rules generally but get outraged and we need to change the rule. I mean into good way to know that the rule needs. I mean i would would and one of the questions on here was what steps forward are needed to. i know. Yeah what's up for need to happen. And i don't know that i'm guessing. It has the athletes integrity unit is a it would have something to do with it. It's involved with world. athletics too. Small group of athlete run. Yeah advocates for clean sport but who can push things one way or the other to me. It seems like it. You know. And i don't know so. Call your senator. Here's the thing one of those things where you have. Hey you this this rule that at least clearly to most people doesn't make any sense. Just got a massive spotlight on it you have. You still have like three weeks to fix it four weeks till like fix it. Do you have time to change. Rule and retroactively remove the suspension. I mean to me it feels like you do if feels like one of those things. That's like it just gets lost in bureaucracy because like what's the bureaucracy like what does it actually take to take a vote of the of somebody like this. It's the things that actually need to happen. Like how much time does actually take dogs. That's where that's probably where or that's where it feels really frustrating to me because there might be a lot of people on the athletics integrity unit or whoever that believe that the rules and they're just like it's just lost in i i but i don't know i think we need that address..

Thc on the banned substance list doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't know a lot of the Science behind it or why. It's on there. And then in this case in particular i mean it just. It's one of those things where it feels like. The rules aren't having the intended effect of the rule. It's having like an effect. That's totally ridiculous. That's the way i feel about it. But i don't know what a you may. You might know more about it or yeah. Thc's losy down right. i mean called. yeah anyway right. Yeah so why. Is it on the banned list. There are certain events may be biathlon or there may be some of it might be might be helpful to for like focus or unlike dr. Jekyll definitely not helping the hundred years. Yeah and i don't probably most people already feel this way. It's it's shocking and ridiculous now when it was universally legally viewed as illegal r- everywhere tool gave made sense that it would be on the waddled banned list if it's also an illegal drugs because all illegal drugs sport yep so i think what we have here is a case of A long overdue reminder that there are expired yes items on the anti-doping list and they need to be changed. I i will be shocked if that doesn't change. After all of this i will be to It's time and you know. Just the the whole global perspective on has changed. It's the wave is moving in the legalizing Direction more broadly. So i think the.

It's drug. that does nothing for you athletically and stays in your body for a really long time after you do. So it's just it's such a sucky situation For so many reasons. So yeah..

Knowing Faith
What was Before the Beginning?
"Most people start reading genesis they, they don't stop to go what was happening before the beginning right in saying and she's ready. The. Question to the book, start the Genesis starts realtime action with the beginning I mean. So you're already in the flow of it. So this is kind of stepping back and saying, okay well, what was happening before that actually started? So who was there? I mean They're a bunch of stuff going on. There are a bunch of people there. was there a big you know meeting talk about it with turtles way down who was there? Yes. So The way I understand it I think the way the Bible describes it is there was nothing everything is dark for was void try to. If you can nothingness like nothing nothing nothing nothing other than got. Got The. Only thing that there is got is the only thing that is a being that is in existence in he is entirely created actually had somebody asking me question the other day here at the church. I pastor now and they said jt glad you're here I've wrestled. This is a this is a kind of an older saints who've been walking the Lord for forty fifty years. And he said to me, he said agent at this intellectual question for the entirety of my walk with the Lord. Laird, God come from. In ease asking the question like who made godwit gut come into being, and that's a very common question in the Christian response to this is God didn't come from anything didn't start anywhere. He is the thing that is probably most distinct about God in this is what we learned last year in the apostles creed is that he is the maker he is the he is the one who has unmade. His created exists entirely distinctly enough himself in Trinidadian relationship father son and Holy Spirit. So the first thing we want to say before we even get into Tyrian ISM if you want to go down that path is before anything. got. Yup. Yeah. That's and it's pivotal because specifically when we're talking about who got is reference to these first chapters of Genesis, we often use the language of creator creature distinction right exactly, and that might be one of the most important distinctions. Bible makes in that we have in theology is that God is entirely. In of himself yeah. Absolutely. that. He is qualitatively different. Than anything else he is utterly unique. As. One of the ways when I teach this that I get people to sort of have this hit home as I say, right you gonNa make a chart and on one side you're gonNA. Label call them things that are created and then on the other side you're GonNa label it things that are created and then on the left hand side things that are created for you right? Right God. And then on the right hand side where you're going to write. Everything else like there's there's nothing that was not the did not That does not have got us its origin. Yeah. Yeah. So We. Start there with talking about God is Creator in Genesis clearly displaying this, that God is creator everything else is created but who is this guy jt? You mentioned it kind of when you were talking about that. This is trinity right God his father son and Holy Spirit, and so are we talking about three different gods up they're all discussing with one another are we in collaborating with one another are we talking about one God who has three different roles? Who are we talking about when we're talking about this God who is Father Son and Holy Spirit? Yes. I think there's just clues that are given to us in genesis some people like to go to genesis worn twenty six or the texts says, let us which shows some kind of divine plurality. There's lots of ways to to interpret probably better for us on suggest to go to the New Testament Charles spurgeon has analogy where he talks about God has always been trinity, but it's kind of like walking into a room where there's furniture everywhere in the old. Testament, the lights are off in a new testament. You're turning the lights on none of the furniture was placed there during the New Testament it was there the whole time, but you can now see it better. So canonical, it's actually probably better for us to to move our way backwards if God is if there's only one God. In he is trinity and that's what we see clearly in the New Testament in the churches confessions than that must be the same God who existed before creation, and so the way that we understand Trinitaria relations in the New Testament is that there are three persons in one God. Our definition for Trinidadian is is that God eternally exists as one essence in three distinct persons, each of whom are fully God yet, there's only one God so. Policy for a second. Could you could you go back and say our definition of the trinity is just kind of repeat that real slowly? Yes. So our definition of the Trinity is God. Eternally exists supposing there that he that's what we've just been talking about. He is eternal. He has not come into being he is the Creator and maker of all things. So so always been always will be it's right. Okay and and never will never came into existence never has ceased existing never will cease to exist

Chryl Laird, "Steadfast Democrats: How Social Forces Shape Black Political Behavior"
"I'm Jen Taylor skinner. And this is the electorate on this episode. I have a conversation with Cheryl Laird. Shirl laird is a professor and political analyst who specializes in race and ethnic politics and political psychology and she joins me to discuss new book titled Steadfast Democrats. How SOCIAL FORCES SHAPE BLACK POLITICAL BEHAVIOR? She Co authored the book along with Ishmael White and if they analyze historical data to better understand why black Americans by far the most unified racial group in American politics and our conversations share laird and I draw parallels to the historical examples from the book and we correlate them to more recent political events. Like of course the Democratic primaries instance. This is a book that I personally will have to read more than once. It's that important. So without further ado here is my conversation with Cheryl. Layered sure leered welcome. Welcome to the PODCAST. Thank you for having me you know. I just have to say when I was reading this book as a black woman. It was really interesting because I was basically reading an analysis of my own political behavior. And I've never actually read it examined in this way. It was really strange for me to read this. And because I don't think that much about my own political motivations right like I think about policy but I don't think you know why Democrat. Why have I always been a democrat? Why do I never question right and that was really interesting for me yet? No I think That's literally what are trying to do with this book and we also are african-american and I'm trying to speak from experience of understanding politics in a particular way And often I think the literature thus far in some of the fields of political science sociology and other areas where they examine behavior and even in this case political behavior. We haven't really seen something that takes on this kind of question And particularly like wire wiser people doing this thing The way that they're doing it and we're able to really tackle it in a political science sort of way but a lot of it is based off of our own lived experience as African Americans and understanding that politics works differently. Yeah and so. The thing is the open. The Book Win Alabama Senate Race Between Doug Jones Roy Moore. We all remember that race for some really terrible reasons because of the allegations around. Roy Moore but what? I think what keeps happening elections like this. Is that people try to analyze and predict a black voter behavior. Right they have all. These assumptions aren't right. And then what happens? Is that black voters in surprising them like they did in this election. I think ninety eight percent of black women voted for Doug Jones then it was following that when Tom Perez made this statement online that Blackman backbone of the Party and I think that was the first time that someone at that level of leadership the head of the DNC made a declaration like that and acknowledged that publicly. I think that that's that's right. It's like it is. It is clear that the partisan norm is very strong. The loyalty to the Party is incredibly significant. And in this defining to the Party itself and its success in numerous elections and I think the Alabama election would just put that into high relief. A you're just able to really see that at work and black women being like the people at the front lines of it not only in the voter box but also on the ground like they were the ones shepherding. The grassroot efforts on the ground they were the ones behind a lot of the the poll souls to the polls or gathering people up to get them to go vote informing people about what was going on And so they are. They're they're doing that work for the Party and often just getting knowledge for it. So what actually happened in that race? Why wasn't it as predictive as people? Thought? Alabama is typically. A red state was at the mobilization on the ground that happen in the context of the election right so we have two individuals Roy Moore and Doug Jones and Roy Moore has especially this incident that comes up about Some sexual impropriety. Right like this situation of pedophilia as part of the conversation. But I also think part of the reason why people didn't see it coming is that the speaks a lot to the data that gets collected that goes into the predictive models of elections. Which is the sample sizes often in those data are very small when it comes to the African American sample And so if you do not have very good. Data data that is large in terms of the size of the black sample. That's in it. Additionally that is broad in that it's not just focused in any one location but is spread across sets of black communities the predictive nature than of what you're going to get from that data is not going to be right. Like a selection bias can create a problem with that Additionally I think people also don't know of some of the resources that African Americans are often dealing with in this case if we look at in political science the way that African Americans participate in politics all of the indicators that we typically use things like education level income on all typically are things that would say what is likely for someone to participate. African Americans have to make up for all of that because they're very resource deprived especially in a place like Alabama. And so what you then have to rely. On our black institutions black churches black colleges like organizations became the frontline for trying to mobilize people and again most types of tapping of that information through polling or through other forms of assessment. If you don't know about that you wouldn't know where to go. Look for it and so people did it. They did it not go look there. They didn't know that people would be energized. In this election. With these circumstances that play to get themselves out to vote and at the partisan role of that vote would matter so much right. Did you think that's true? Nationally that black people are underrepresented in polling. Generally I think they are. I think that's how you get often. Polls for instance. I remember not too long ago. The president had cited to a poll where he said he thought he had a whole bunch of black people who are supportive of Ham radio or something like thirty percent of black people saying they were okay with Donald Trump. The mmediately my thought was I need to see the data because I want to know where the poll was taken. Is this a random? Sample poll is a poll that is targeted to black communities. Are you targeting? This poll to black people at a certain location like what's his taken at a convention of some sort like all of that would matter because it's going to skew the data and if you're not attentive to this in the sampling that you're doing and waiting the sampling and the size of it so often times really. It has to do with the size of the sample often in a poll of maybe a thousand or thirteen hundred people in terms of African Americans that are in that sample. You'll be lucky if you see a hundred people in it well enough when you're talking about about black political ideology and I think another thing that's misunderstood about. The black voting block is just how conservative they are like socially conservative in a lot of ways and I think it's because there's this confusion around. We are generally in allegiance to a non Conservative Party. No I think that's right. I think because we think of ideology and political science typically the conservative Liberal ideology spectrum that we have is used heavily to predict partisanship and in most literature which is often used basically assessing white Americans. What we find is that people's ideology very predictive of their partisanship especially in a polarized environment for African Americans. It's different right and I think part of that has to do with how ideology works for African Americans. Black people are very politically diverse in their views. Say That again why he very click over to the partisan behavior needs to be thought about much more from a strategic advantage at the group is trying to do to be able to minority group in majority system and having a voice but people have varying opinions and a lot of people are very conservative. Especially on things like social conservatism fiscal conservatives on religiosity often as a driving force and we know from data especially from Pew Research Center. They find the African Americans as a racial group are some of the most strongest actors when it comes to their role engagement of religious institutions and those religious institutions are also African American. Right like this is like Martin Luther King talking about the most segregated day of the week is Sunday right. Like that is where they are. And it still is true. So conservatism manifests differently. For Blacks and ideologically. It also is very shaped by race. Where the goals of what people are leaning into in terms of their ideology could have a lot more to do with what they believe is important for trying to improve the status of the group even if they are varying in how they believe one would try to approach that but at the end of the day the partisanship though is done. In a manner that is trying to elevate the voice of the black community And political power in a space where we are a majority based system the one of the things. That's really interesting about that is that it's almost subconscious right. We don't necessarily like myself. I don't think necessarily my role in this larger picture of what we're trying to do collectively but we just we just do it. We just do it. I mean it's interesting because when we presented on this before we like to use this episode of black ish again. I think it's like elephants in the room. Or something to that effect about their son Junior Andrea. Both junior decided that he wants to join the young. Black Republicans Club at school. Or something and Andre is stunned and he's trying to explain it as family members and they all can't understand see China explaining to bow Chinese to his mother And they're both like what do you mean? He wants to join a republic. He wants to be like he wants to be a the Republicans like the League. Keep he wants to go to Banana Republic and buy clothes like they can't even process it because you're right it is become such a partly to be black is to Democrats and people who seem to be different from that are seen as strange right But I think it speaks so heavily to how long this norm of collective group race behavior has been informing black political behavior over
