"I'm doctor Anthony Liz, and this is climate connections. Moose have long been at the heart of indigenous ojibwe culture, and in much of northern Minnesota, hunting moves for their meat and hides is protected by treaty rights. But climate change and other environmental threats could put this tradition in jeopardy. Tyler Casper is an environmental biologist with the 1854 treaty authority, an intertribal natural resource management agency. He says, as the climate warms, a species known as the winter tick is thriving and attacking moose in greater numbers. With decreased snowpack, there's increased winter tick survival, tens of thousands of ticks can infest a single moose, causing blood loss and bald patches from the animal trying to rub the parasites off. Which can lead to hypothermia in some cases. More white tailed deer in the area have also brought higher numbers of other parasites that harm moose. Casper worries that together, these pressures put Minnesota's moose population at risk. And the animals may become scarce in areas where tribes have the right to hunt them. Once they're out of those treaty areas, I mean, that's a permanent impact to treaty rights, culture, sovereignty of the tribes. And it's a permanent loss.

"Sees a moose. Now, that's not unusual in Alaska as a matter of fact, when I was leaving one night when I was going to the airport, I saw two of them, just sashaying, like, close to downtown. Together like a mother and a baby moose. Usually, you know, dog mushers and Bridget said that if she would see him moose, usually all you do have to do is yell or make a little bit of noise and they walk away. They're not confrontational animals. Even though they're so big and intimidating, she sees it and she's like, okay, there's a moose. But they go a little bit further and she sees it's again and it's still on the trail. What I typically do will watch to see where they get off the trail so that I know they're gone, you know? But his tracks continued on the trail and I was like, um, but at first it looks more curious than nemesis. And she keeps seeing it on the trail. About 5 minutes later, I saw him again on another straightaway, but he was a little closer to where I was like, yep, that's a moose. That's usually it's not an issue. And then we kept going again and then the third time I saw him, he was closer, you know? He was he was probably 200 250 yards, probably at that point. Till eventually, she can't do anything about it. She has to stop. And so this bull moose and bull moose, you know, they're over 6 feet tall at their shoulder, they weigh, you know, around 1400 pounds, generally speaking, when Bridget walking stops and the dogs stop in front of this bull moose, what happens next? So the dogs stay put and she goes around the bend and the moose is right there. And then the moose is charging right at her. I stood there in front of him and I remember thinking, this is really happening. She grabs her three 80 millimeter pistol. And then I thought, you have to wait till he's close enough because I knew the gun that I was shooting was not going to stop him, but I knew I had to let him get close enough to not kill me. She waits for the moose to get closer because she knows she's got a low caliber pistol and that the moose is going to have to be pretty close for it to be impacted by it. I just, I took a deep breath and when I was like, okay, he's got to be close enough. He's got to be close enough. You got to breathe and get a breathe. Sounds like one, two, and I was like, take a deep breath. Let it out. And then I squeezed. And in my mind, I thought, I can not believe I'm having to shoot this move. Like, this is terrible. This is not what this is not what you want to be doing. We know that at least two of the three first bullets fired hit the moose. And the moose just basically kind of flinches a little bit when one of them hit his face, he kind of moved his face a little bit, like brushing it off, but the moose is still bearing down. Yeah, I mean, this is one of those moments that feels existential, right? Where everything is happening so fast, but also everything presumably is also happening in slow motion. And what happens to everyone involved here, if that is what's going on, if this moose is shrugging off bullets and Bridget Watkins is there with her dogs. So she fires off three shots and the gun is jammed. So she thinks the next thing that's going to happen is that the moose is going to trample her and she's going to die. And I just try to take off on it. I have my head tucked because I thought he was just going to trample over me. He then runs right behind me, but he gets tangled in the dogs so he doesn't come over top of me. And I run to the back of the snow machine. But what has happened is the moose is now caught in a pile of gang line leashes and ten dogs. And so Bridget Watkins and her dog handler Jen Nelson, who was the person on the snowmobile, they are at least for now, they themselves are safe. Yes, so she retreats back to where her dog handler is a few feet away and is trying to un jam her gun. Well, in the meantime, she gets her hand caught in the slide and believe me, if I'm saying this wrong, I am not a gun expert, but this is the way it was explained to me, but her hand starts bleeding. So she's bleeding all over this gun, trying to un jam it while the moose is stomping on her dogs. He thought we were a pack of wolves attacking him. So what I subsequently learned after this attack is 5 moose kills. That week had happened within a 5 mile radius right there, 5 moose had been killed by wolf packs. So he really, in my opinion, I guarantee he had been chased and attacked by wolves. Bridgette Watkins and Jen Nelson are a few feet away. And it's horrifying for them that these dogs that they train that they love are probably going to die. And that they're probably going to die too. And they seemingly can't do anything about it. She gets the gun on jammed and fires off three more rounds. And the moose is still fairly impervious to it. And so they're stuck and they have to figure out what is our next move. They have one bar of cell phone service. What do they do? She starts texting everyone she knows who lives. Anywhere remotely in the area. She kind of sends this the same tax that says help help. I need help. Moose killing us. I need a gun, need help now. And she just hopes someone is able to find them before it's too late. And so who finally, in the middle of nowhere, after all this waiting finally shows up. A few months before that, they had met a man on the trail named Chris Jones. Chris is a 67 year old retired pipeline worker who lives alone in a very remote place on the river. So they try to reach him, he had just kind of had his morning coffee and he heard the phone rang. He didn't answer it. And then it rang again and he's like, I better get this. And all he could make out was dogs, moose, and gone. He goes back to get a first aid kit because he can hear the dogs. He can hear all the chaos. And it's going to take him more than a half hour to get there on his snowmobile. And that's all they can do. She called Bridget called her husband who he said their GPS coordinates to the state troopers who dispatched a helicopter, but there's a good chance that it could be a situation where nobody gets to them in time.

"As midnight approaches, roughly a hundred miles away, near oyster bay on New York's Long Island. Theodore Roosevelt sits at his desk in his beloved home known as sagamore hill. Somber reporters, newspapermen, who followed him for years. Sit before TR and the crackling fire wording off the cold November 9th. They listened attentively as the high pitched colonel greets them. Now old friends, I'm really glad to see you. They ask the former president about his communication with Woodrow Wilson. Speaking from memory, the bespectacled mustachioed rough rider, still in his black tie, recites the telegram he fired off to the professor an hour ago. Quote, the American people, by a great plurality, have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift. I congratulate you thereon. The reporter stare. That sounds hard to buy after such a brutal friendship damaging, if not ending contest. But teddy leaves no doubt. He adds resolutely. Like all other good citizens. I accept the result with good humor and contentment. TR's telegram sent to Woodrow about the same time as president will task congratulating telegram was spot on. The New Jersey governor won with a great plurality. Here's the breakdown. Socialist Eugene debs won over 900,000 votes. While none of those translate to electoral votes, this means 6% of all voters cast their ballots for him. As I record this episode in the 21st century, this remains the best performance ever of a socialist candidate for president. It speaks volumes about gene and America's thirst for reform. As for Republican president William Howard Taft, he came in just shy of three and a half million votes. That translated to 23.2% of the popular vote, and 8 electoral votes, courtesy of Utah, and Vermont. The bullet carrying rough rider, colonel Theodore Roosevelt, fared better. He took just over 4.1 million votes. 27.4% of the popular vote in 88 electoral votes. Even as a former and popular president, birthing a third party, only months before the general election that can bump one of the two major parties into third place is an incredible feat. And with no disrespect to poor will, it's hard not to imagine that. Had the Republicans run teddy, it would have taken The White House. It's a safe bet that even the taft administration's biggest fans would have stuck with TR in that scenario. Their combined votes would have made for a clear majority. But the GOP didn't do so, and that brings us to Woodrow Wilson's great plurality. After all, his more than 6 million votes may have only translated to 41.9% of the popular vote, but it was a commanding victory in the Electoral College. 435 electoral votes. 40 out of the 48 states and so would your prepares to head to The White House, knowing his election is not a commanding mandate, yet knowing that the nation's cumulative response to his TRs and gene debs platforms are a mandate of sorts for progressive reform. From women's suffrage to tariffs, banking, and so much more. There are several issues coming his way. And little does Woodrow know that a war unlike any of the world has ever seen. Is looming. So dig deep professor because in The White House, you're the student. And there's no room for failure on the exam to come. History that doesn't suck is created and hosted by me, Greg Jackson.

"Kill Theodore Roosevelt because he believed William McKinley's ghost told him to do it. More than a decade prior, John had a dream in which the dead president's apparition appeared, blamed his assassination on teddy, then asked the bar keep to avenge him. Recent newspaper articles claiming TR wanted to overthrow the constitution brought the dream back to John's mind, which led to a second supposed ghostly visitation and the would be avenger pulling the trigger. John will be found insane. He'll spend the rest of his life institutionalized. Welcome to one of the wildest presidential contests in American history. The election of 1912. Seriously, it's unreal. At this time, much of the electorate wants to see change. Their concerns include social, political, and economic issues, and those wanting such reforms are called progressives. But the devil is in the details. How far does one reform? Considering himself a moderate progressive, president William Howard Taft, nonetheless finds himself branded the conservative and at odds with his dear friend, the man who handed him The White House, former president Teddy Roosevelt. As things continue to sour between them, their friendship will split right along with the Republican Party, birthing teddy's progressive or bull moose party in the process. But as we'll see, TR doesn't have the corner on reform. Just ask Eugene debs, whose Socialist Party has never been more popular. Likewise, ask the Democrat and professor turned New Jersey governor Woodrow Wilson. He's answering TR's plan called new nationalism with his own progressive path, called new freedom. A Republican, a socialist, and two progressives, the bull moose and a Democrat. Wow. It's time for America to choose and our story starts, believe it or not, with an African safari, almost three years before TR got shot. Rewind. It's a hot and humid day. January 16th, 1910. Theodore Roosevelt in his 20 year old son Kermit are sweating buckets as they trudge through the tall grass and greenery, somewhere near the banks of the white Nile, about 2° north of the equator. By the Belgian Congo's eastern border. Never mind the heat, though. Nature loving TR couldn't be happier out here. For ten months now, almost since the day his presidency ended, TR his son and a few naturalists have been on an incredible expedition in Africa, hunting. In the name of science, it's true. Teddy loves the thrill of the hunt, but as we learned in episode one 14, he's also a conservationist who doesn't believe in killing purely for sport. But this hunt, funded by Andrew Carnegie for the purpose of providing specimens for the Smithsonian's soon to open national museum of natural history. Oh, the colonel's all about that. Teddy and Kermit soon come across the animal that's brought them up from British East Africa. To this part of the heavily colonized continent. The northern white rhino over hunting is wiping out this species, and the thinking is that. If he doesn't bring some back to the U.S. now, future generations of Americans may never see one. Not even in a museum. Teddy shoulders his rifle, likely his four O 5 Winchester and pulls the trigger. The massive mammal falls dead. Tiara will shoot one more before the day is out. After night spent under mosquito nets, as lines and elephants roared. TR, Kermit, and the others rise to face another sweltering day. But soon, a local messenger arrives. Teddy can't help but notice the man is nude. More important, though, is what he carries. A cable from the press agency. TR reads and shock. It says that his friend, former Secretary of War, and chosen successor president William Howard Taft has fired forest service chief Gifford pinchot. The press wants his comment. TR won't respond to them, but he does write to his friend, senator Henry Cabot lodge. I most earnestly hope it is not true. It seems crazy that the press would go to such lengths for TR's commentary on who's running the U.S. forest service. But as we learned in episode one 14, one of the three C's of TR squared deal was conservationism. And Gifford pinchot was TR's right hand man on the sea. He helped the nature loving president create 150 national forests. They're good friends, and more than that, TR never thought will taft would do something as president, so different from him. Back in the 1908 election, teddy rejected his party's call for a third term. First, he'd already publicly declared he wouldn't seek a third term. But second, he knew he could trust his handlebar mustache wearing and famously heavy Secretary of War will taft to carry on his policies. That's why he worked to ensure will got the GOP's nomination. As teddy puts it, I had thrown myself heart and soul into the business of nominating taft. He and I view public questions exactly alike. In fact, I think it has been very rare that two public men have ever been so much as one in all the essentials of their beliefs and practices. Of course, we'll make TR a little uneasy by immediately replacing secretary of the interior, James R Garfield, with Richard bollinger, but the former rough riding kernel still trusted his chosen successor would stay the progressive course. Gifford getting the boot is a bad sign, though. Something's off. More letters arrive from senator Henry Cabot lodge and Gifford himself. It seems that, upon becoming the new secretary of the interior, Richard bollinger questioned the constitutionality of how teddy's administration made millions of acres public land. The secretary then released some of those lands, claiming this would let Congress do it properly. But Gifford believed he was in cahoots with private corporations, ready to buy up the lands upon the release. Gifford went public with his disapproval. According to senator HC lodge, this insubordination left president William taft no choice but to fire the chief Forrester. Sounds messy. Leaving Africa to tour Europe with his wife Edith, TR writes back to the senator on March 1st, 1910, reassuring him. I shall say nothing about politics until I have been home long enough to know the situation. But politics won't return the favor. Unwilling to await TR's return, Gifford pinchot personally visits the roosevelts at their Italian Riviera villa on April 11th. The tall, grain, mustachioed former chief forester, defends his criticisms of the new secretary of the interior and produces letters from progressive colleagues, lambasting the public land selling tariff supporting taft administration for forsaking the TR legacy. Teddy writes to senator Henry Cabot lodge that night. In his note, he calls will taft an honest man and says he wants to give his old friend every benefit of the doubt. But this administration has completely twisted round the policies, I advocated and acted upon. Teddy continues to enjoy Europe, meeting with royals and giving his famous man in the arena speech at the sorbonne in Paris. But as he does all of this, his doubts about will taft linger.

"And it's not like I can call an Uber. Is there probably about the 20 mile mark 5 or 6 miles away from turning around? And once I did that, they rewarded them by giving them a snack, so they got these wedges of frozen meat that they stopped and gave them. They're going along again on the trail. Now, the way they used to do the training runs is that Bridget would go first and she had ten dogs that day and then there'd be another 6 dogs that would follow behind on the snowmobile with a dog handler, Jen Nelson. So Bridget keeps going up the trail. And she sees a moose. Now, that's not unusual in Alaska, as a matter of fact, when I was leaving one night when I was going to the airport, I saw two of them, just sashaying, like, close to downtown. Together like a mother and a baby moose. Usually, you know, dog mushers and Bridget said that if she would see him moose, usually all you do have to do is yell or make a little bit of noise, and they walk away. They're not confrontational animals. Even though they're so big and intimidating, she sees it and she's like, okay, there's a moose. But they go a little bit further and she sees again and it's still on the trail. What I typically do will watch to see where they get off the trail so that I know they're gone, you know? But his tracks continued on the trail and I was like, um, but at first it looks more curious than nemesis. And she keeps seeing it on the trail. About 5 minutes later, I saw him again on another straightaway, but he was a little closer to where I was like, yep, that's a moose. That's usually it's not an issue. And then we kept going again, and then the third time I saw him, he was closer, you know? He was probably 200 to 250 yards, probably at that point. Till eventually, she can't do anything about it. She has to stop. And so this bull moose and bull moose, you know, they're over 6 feet tall at their shoulder, they weigh, you know, around 1400 pounds, generally speaking, when Bridget walken stops and the dogs stop in front of this bull moose, what happens next? So the dogs stay put and she goes around the bend and the moose is right there. And then the moose is charging right at her. I stood there in front of him and I remember thinking, this is really happening. She grabs her three 80 millimeter pistol. And then I thought, you have to wait till he's close enough because I knew the gun that I was shooting was not going to stop him, but I knew I had to let him get close enough to not kill me. He waits for the moose to get closer because she knows she's got a low caliber pistol and that the moose is going to have to be pretty close for it to be impacted by it. I just, I took a deep breath and when I was like, okay, he's got to be close enough. He's got to be close enough. You got to breathe and get a breathe. And then I was like, one, two, and I was like, take a deep breath. Let it out. And then I squeezed. And in my mind, I thought, I can not believe I'm having to shoot this move. Like, this is terrible. This is not what this is not what you want to be doing. We know that at least two of the three first bullets fired hit the moose. And the moose just basically kind of flinches a little bit when one of them hit his face, he kind of moved his face a little bit, like brushing it off, but the moose is still bearing down. Yeah, I mean, this is one of those moments that feels existential, right? Where everything is happening so fast, but also everything presumably is also happening in slow motion. And what happens to everyone involved here, if that is what's going on, if this moose is shrugging off bullets and Bridget Watkins is there with her dogs. So she fires off three shots and the gun is jammed. So she thinks the next thing that's going to happen is that the moose is going to trample her and she's going to die. And I just try to take off her knee and I have my head tucked because I thought he was just going to trample over me. He then runs right behind me, but he gets tangled in the dogs so he doesn't come over top of me. And I run to the back of the snow machine. But what has happened is the moose is now caught in a pile of gang line leashes and ten dogs. And so Bridget Watkins and her dog handler Jen Nelson, who was the person on the snowmobile, they are at least for now, they themselves are safe. Yes, so she retreats back to where her dog handler is a few feet away and is trying to un jam her gun. Well, in the meantime, she gets her hand caught in the slide and believe me, if I'm saying this wrong, I am not a gun expert, but this is the way it was explained to me, but her hand starts bleeding. So she's bleeding all over this gun, trying to un jam it while the moose's stomping on her dogs. He thought we were a pack of wolves attacking him. So what I subsequently learned after this attack is 5 moose kills. That week had happened within a 5 mile radius right there, 5 moose had been killed by wolf packs. So he really, in my opinion, I guarantee he had been chased and attacked by wolves. Bridgette Watkins and Jen Nelson are a few feet away and it's horrifying for them that these dogs that they train that they love are probably going to die and that they're probably going to die too. And they seemingly can't do anything about it. She gets the gun on jammed and fires off three more rounds. And the moose is still fairly impervious to it. And so they're stuck and they have to figure out what is our next move. They have one bar of cell phone service. What do they do? She starts texting everyone she knows who lives anywhere remotely in the area. She kind of sends this the same tax that says help help. I need help. Moose killing us. I need a gun, need help now. And she just hopes someone is able to find them before it's too late. And so who finally, in the middle of nowhere, after all this waiting finally shows up. A few months before that, they had met a man on the trail named Chris Jones. Chris is a 67 year old retired pipeline worker who lives alone in a very remote place on the river. So they try to reach him, he had just kind of had his morning coffee and he heard the phone rang. He didn't answer it. And but then it rang again and he's like, I better get this. And all he could make out was dogs, moose, and gone. He goes back to get a first aid kit because he can hear the dogs. He can hear all the chaos. And it's going to take him more than a half hour to get there on his snowmobile. And that's all they can do. She called Bridget called her husband who he said their GPS coordinates to the state troopers who dispatched a helicopter, but there's a good chance that it could be a situation where nobody gets to them in time..

Caller's Approach to Abortion: Can Liberals Admit Their Right to Choose to Kill a Baby?
"Here's how I approach these abortion discussions. And this is what I would say to her. The Whoopi. When someone says, I believe in the right to choose. I say to them, well, why don't you finish the sentence? They say, what do you mean? I say you believe in the right of a woman to choose to kill her own baby. If you can say that, then we can have an intellectually honest discussion because that's what it is. And that kind of stops them in their tracks. It's a good way. It's a good way to it's a good way to edit a good way to put it because for them the choice only gets to want you only get to part of the equation. You know, it's their way or the highway. You have one limited option. Great way to put it. Thank you. Go ahead. One more thought if I can. And we'll go about avoiding babies that are deformed.

"Jeremiah hopped into the car and buckled up with a seat belt in the same time walking all the doors to the car. The moose began swinging and ramming against the car, must suit Jeremy's dismay. Poor Jeremiah hunches down in the car and starts stress eating as the moose keeps on approaching the car and smashing it from each side. Me and Tim tried to take this on video, but we were not able to. Because Tim's phone was broken, and my phone was dead. Yes, out of everything. My phone died in the most funniest moment. It has to be my phone that died. And Tim's had to be broken. Tim and I were laughing and saying, damn, I wanted to get this on film. This is golden man. After the shaking have finally stopped to move the sites leave and walk back into the forest. Jeremiah walked out a car and said, what did I do wrong? Why does nature hate me? I laughed and said, I guess we lucked out on a fucking golden opportunity. It was a golden knocking for us. This could have gone viral. Tim and I couldn't just stop laughing 'cause it was so hilarious. Jeremiah put all I wanted was a bag of chips and that's stupid moose chased me. Tim including myself couldn't stop laughing and Jeremiah felt sad that all the food was gone. Jeremiah could only blame his own stupidity for everyone any of being hungry and tired. If I'm being real with you guys, I still do not know why it's him and I listen to Jeremiah and went to the depths of the forest to retrieve our damn food. It was a stupid idea. It's like following a complete moron and he's the biggest morning and the whole forest itself. The only thing I could actually say to Jeremiah, throughout this whole trip is, thank you, Jeremiah. You put Tim and I and the worst situation possible. Now we're stuck in the middle of forest. We're probably lost, and we're hungry, and now we don't know what to do. Jeremiah was trying to say, I was just trying to help. No,.

"Simply responded with what? You idiot. Why the fuck would you leave the front door open? Tim angrily asks, we lost all of our food for the weekend. Why didn't you walk up since your last one to leave the cabin behind us? I could say what's dude. We gotta figure something out. Tim agrees with me quoting, you're right. Tim and I stepped outside for a moment to come up with some sort of plan. Funny thing happened, a four stranger jove by and asked, have you seen a bunch of raccoons roaming around here? I say, yeah, they destroyed our cabin and took all our food and snacks. The rangers said, ha ha ha. Yeah, you boys have a good one. While driving off saying kids, they make up such stories. Oh, I love the youth these days. Then the ranger just drove off like nothing happened. He didn't believe us. It seemed like so we decide to have Jeremiah guard the door because it was always full that the food went missing. Tim and I taped the net door and then stuck a chair against the door to block out the raccoons. Temp patched up the door with duct tape. After it was barricaded, we all went to sleep and Jeremiah was chosen to sit in a chair, and he grabbed his trusty slingshot ready to protect us from any more incidents to occur. The rest of the night till the next morning. While I was asleep, Tim's dog went into the kitchen to get some water. Sometime during a night and it hurt a shuffle from one of the cabinets inside. Apparently the dog followed the noise and sniffed his way to one of the kitchen cabinets to discover a lone raccoon. Unfortunately for us, one of our coons then leave the cabin, how stupid of us was Jeremiah watches the whole thing unfold without moving a muscle, but at the time he tried to make a move, it was too a dog jump into one of the open cabinets and then began chasing a raccoon around the kitchen. Food in the dishes were falling down as both animals chase each other around the cabin. Tim and I heard this sound and got up to see what was causing a dog to get all riled up. Tim came running into the kitchen with a bat and witness a raccoon. Tim tried to get a good swing at the raccoon with his bat. But miss and hit his leg instead, in the meantime, Jeremiah brought out his link shot and aimed it at a raccoon, which was running around Tim's legs with the dog chasing it. You're my firest slingshot of raccoon, but instead the marble hits him in the nuts, watching from the couch eating some candy while tuning into a late night show. I was laughing the whole time. I mean, how the fuck did we not realize that there was still raccoon in the cabin, roaming around the kitchen area? I couldn't stop laughing. It was just so hilarious. Eventually the dog and raccoon jumped out the door and outside, ending the chase. After a while, Tim's dog returns with a raccoon, nowhere in sight. We taught the night would end there, but it didn't finish there..

No one says he's not ready to be a starter you you're reading too deep into it. That's not what he said. He said that he said on results are a pacifier the results in training camp and we blown like stop worrying about that stuff. I can't say a fan. I cannot stop worrying about the jets and a draft pick for another quarterback. They're ready to go. They're not going to the playoffs this year. Just let it sink in joy them developing the team in building a culture enjoy that this is not the team that i was on when bill parcells rose in the town and we instantly go to the afc championship.

Why carson wentz trending to open the season as the starter go for. How is that happening right. And you also have quinn nelson. Who has that foot surgery that he had that trending on the same path. That's great news if you're at the colts so it was. What was it five to live the twelve weeks reading which big gap now.

You understand when you walk. Probably the beginning of a season when you look around the room. What you're made of and like yeah. We've got a chance to win one. I want you to listen. This is from Hard knocks dallas cowboy season lesson on. Hbo mike mccarthy addressing his team now key when he's listening had his feet up he was not impressed. I'm ready to run through. A brick wall moose. Tell me how you feel after hearing this. This is about. Winning is about winning the world championship. Perry pairings that's all matters gonna play. I'll saying good enough is not good enough. Get a championship game. Not good enough okay. Because it takes everybody. You may be tired of hearing this portal. One championship team started from one championship team. It took seventy seven men to win a world championship. And that's just the way the thing goes in watch hill trophy up and we'll tell you right now it's hovering you think it is. Let's go hard dallas cowboys streaming on. Hbo how how are you feeling when you hear that speech as like ted lasts talking to jamie tar right there I i think all the points are very well made it it. It really is a complete team effort. You're gonna have adversity and injuries. During the course of the year you talked about carson winston quitting nelson up in indianapolis. Before i came on You know those are the things that can happen to you. During the course of the season so it it it takes everybody And you know it. It has to be frustrating for for coach mccarthy. There was a lot of talented teams in green bay for him to only have won one championship with aaron rodgers. At the helm you know has to be frustrating but but again shoes you how difficult it is But i but i do like you know getting into the playoffs is not good enough. Win in the nfc east is not good enough. Win in the nfc is not. It's all about winning super bowl. So i really liked the messaging. I think it's good. I think it's something that those guys need to hear. But that does not mean that is going to translate into a championship this year. I'm so glad that you answered that question for allen because he thinks that they're going to win a championship based coach mccarthy screaming and yelling on the obvious the obvious that they're gonna champion. I just felt like. I would have been fired up here and that speech. I'm ready to go here. And that species go based on the season coming up. Getting lectured darryl moose. How worried about dak shoulder I thought it was interesting that it kind of came out of nowhere but the time they wanted to sit him. Down was was pretty extensive at the very beginning I thought it.

"Today's guest is the linked in expert. Jeff brand from the uk. Now if the name sounds familiar up jeff has appeared on the podcast episodes. Two hundred sixty one and three hundred thirteen. He is the author of the book. The photographers missing linked in your step by step guide on how to make a ton of money unlinked in now in a recent chat. Jeff told me that lincoln has changed more in three months than the past two years and there are still less than eight percent of photographers with profiles on the platform. He says for many of the hundreds of photographers. He works with lincoln's producing more jobs than ever before. I'm looking forward to learning more. And i'm rat to have jeff back with us now. Jeff welcome to the podcast again. Fantasy under it's great to be back on again by. Why do you think photographers either. Reluctant or staying a wife from linked in. I think it's still lee old belief that link is for people who were recruited and it's like recruitment applauded. Uc visa at form. And it's not you know. Say coming close to seven hundred and seventy five million uses on the platform now. It's the biggest professional social network in the world and with an average wage-earner of eighteen thousand dollars a year so these are people who actually have money. So do you think people are staying away from. Because i don't feel to attract clients or they just think it's another social network. Have you heard from people that are are reluctant to actually join photography's specifically well you know you came with a bath. So i did some searches at the beginning of the year and found out that the a law photographers unlinked in bull moose photographers. Huge percentage of jobs don't have equal fully optimize profiles and i would look at the entire limited network itself. Seven hundred and seventy five million uses only thirty million of those have fully optimized profiles by fully optimized these the showing up in the searches people. They get same now from that less than one percent of the entire uses on linked to create content. That goes into the news feed and from photographers point-of-view between south eight to ten percents photographers use lincoln actively post to the platform. Once a month. So if you put that into context to the likes of facebook and instagram where the traffic is high. If you want to start getting seen online tain and get in front of the people that you want to do business with than the compensation is pretty much non existent for you. All you've gotta do is get your profile fully optimized and get consistency. So you know you do one poor stumbling. You're not gonna get a load of people in boxing say can oblique.

"A lot of people. Do like say for example either day. Facebook group actually mountain show community hashtag plug in that.

Some thing like you shouldn't be doing any kind of segmentation of your email divvying opennow splitting the dope until you've got twenty thousand subscribers and a sword understand why that sentiment might be there. I get the idea. But what are you saw. Start digging into it. I think it's a really broad blanket statement to make and so let's just talk about because this idea of segmentation can freak a few people out in case you don't know what we mean by segmentation rob is going to do his moose lovely voice and do a definition haven't rehearsed this. Actually but you can do a partial now rob definition of what email segmentation as well segmentation is the aussie the act. The act are hiding voice and say he was out an act at the same time. Anyway what what you do basically is you take a thing. A whole divided into segments. Ho- how long you take a hole in the ground. The whole includes a segments altogether divisively segments like an orange like an orange. You take a whole thing and divided into segments and so you think about this from a point of view of your email subscribers. You've got to realize that when you get one subscriber on you this don't need to segment them the minute you've got to Subscribers on your list then different people with different ones different needs different hoops different designs different interests.

Today in Focus
Unpacking the American Rescue Plan
"The motion is adopted. Lowering gambino political correspondent for guardian. Usc bobby sleeping covering the one point nine trillion dollars bit relief package that passed through congress. Last week is on the way. It's called the american rescue plan. How big is it. Thur americans the plan itself is huge in scale and scope. it's one point nine trillion dollars. Which even. I sort of have to take a moment realize how massive this bill is. It's being billed as one of the biggest pieces of legislation. Congress passed in possibly generation. Many of the big measures are temporary. They're set to last for a year or just for the next few months but there are pushes already by democrats to make some of these provisions permanent that would mean pretty significant changes in the american social safety net. Can you give me some examples of ice measures. The moose well known piece of this bill is the fourteen hundred dollar checks to individuals. So if you're someone who makes below seventy five thousand dollars a year or you're a couple who makes less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year you will receive these fourteen hundred dollar checks that will come in addition to the other provisions which provide housing assistance assistance for food assistance for healthcare. Then there's this other big precision. It's called the child tax credit it's existed for a while now but this bill dramatically expands the credit and it also expanded eligibility for it so that more. Low income families qualify. What's novel is at. Its affectively of form of guaranteed income. The payments will be made monthly to these families rather than qualifying only for the credit during tax season. And that's a huge change both financially and philosophically in the way americans dole-outs welfare in this country. And so this is a provision that some policy experts have forecast would cut child poverty in half in america especially for black families and latino families. So this could have a huge huge impact on low income americans who've been especially hurt by the job losses. This is the one piece that democrats believe once it's been enacted through this legislation that they will have some success making permanent and indeed if they do it would completely restructure how we look at child welfare this country and as you said the title bell is in the trillions and when we start talking in trillions he basically leaves me but i found it something like a tenth of gdp so as you say huge how significant is for biden. And for setting out. Biden's agenda anyway. You look at it. It's a big political victory for joe biden. He came in saying he was going to do this. Part of his victory is certainly attributable to donald trump's mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic and this was his promise not to mention a few months later when the senate was still in the balance to georgia senate candidates both democrats promised georgia voters that they would be sending them two thousand dollar checks if they win their races in georgia and democrats control the senate so this is seen as making good on that. Promise the the difference. The two thousand dollar checks are now fourteen hundred dollars but the democrats make the case that they said six hundred dollar checks to americans in december and so this brings up the total to two thousand. Yeah politicians always find ways to add up the numbers. Now as you said and the democrats have a slim majority in the house and a wafer thin majority in the senate because of those georgia senators a majority of one with comma harris. How difficult was this to pass. This was a big political. Lift for joe biden. And what's interesting is that it was so difficult given how popular the legislation was with the american people. Cbs news poll. Seventy five percent of americans say they support the measure including almost half of republicans in most well-known provisions of the bill pulled even higher than the entire bill itself and even then joe biden wasn't able to bring along any republicans you know. He came into office. One of his big promises was that he would be able to work across the aisle and bridge the gaps. They called this the most progressive piece of legislation in history. That absolutely did not happen for those who watching progressive means socialism. And then you have with his razor thin margins. You have a lot of factions within the democratic party. That were jostling for control. And he really had to contend with some objections from moderate democrats particularly in the senate where one senator can blow up the entire negotiation. He was able to do this this time. But i think this sets up a lot of questions about what comes

When times are tough one of the first area the companies often find himself making cuts all and ease the marketing budget and the advertising budget. It's a real double edged. Souls brand struggling often needs to do more with less marketing to raise consumer awareness but remain competitive. Advertising and publicity can also be very expensive. So what should you do well. They'll number of we. Companies and entrepreneurs can engage with consumer and customers and maintain visibility while also dealing with a very tight budgets. I and maybe the most important tool you have at your disposal all your your social media. Channels accompanies social media. Platform are key component of a brand identity is to first place consumer good to to interact with your business little by what's new and really understand how you companies responding to what's going on in the world i've put together. Three quick cost effective way to engage with an appeal to new and customers on social media the first one is incentives and giveaway consumers love creepy and swag if your company sells product or service tie it to an offer of free sample free trial or hosted giveaway to your gimmicky engaged with your audience that say moose hominem social media platform especially facebook instagram. I've complicated algorithm which actually prevent the majority of existing fans are followers from seeing content on the company post less pay facebook for that exposure. So one way to natural increase your social visibility resort having to pay facebook or instagram is to anchorage your fan people visiting your page to like common especially share your company incentive in giveaway on page whether than simply entering giveaway social reaction common increase oppose organic reach which means more people find out about. Yuki away all you incentive and wounds pay nothing for additional exposure and the basically a win win for everybody. Another approach coach is social group campaign.

Extend initiative people were jumping into your poultry to should support for hotline workers. Another tactic east to leverage mike infants. So let me start by explaining. What is micro influencers. A micro influencers are people would generally have between the two thousand to maybe up to five hundred thousand follow on the respect. You've social media platform the highly engaged audience and push content. That's consistent was particularly niche such as wellness fitness food pets travel etc smaller. Infants can next sentence rules for expanding your reach in connecting new consumer in you with tantric way why law scale instruments and can run mini thousand of dollars focus many my code so off strolling dedicated following and then to be more willing to pose bohannon exchange for free product or service that they feel value these clauses require some trial and error but it can result in low cost white scale exposure so when we launched pumpkin we started by connecting with my coin from so with anywhere between ten thousand to maybe ninety one hundred thousand followers while somewhere still give the expensive all already. I exist existing account in working with competitor other were incredibly receptive and excited to work with us in exchange for free participation in a wellness program tapping into the smaller but very connected audiences we were able to achieve a free ability. Beauty among the wide range of consumer we otherwise will have to be to rich asians. Now that's switchgear another way to gonna reach. Audience and consumer visibility is to improve a company sir changing visible not to whether technical searching optimization also known as s e seo is active of increasing the quantity and the quality of traffic to your website to organics engine resorts searching. Google use complex algorithm to win content. That would be really to search query. Su is complicated but the simplest way to look at it especially with google is if google wants to display the best possible content to the social their rank them on a very to effector miserable well to social enjoy the content such as time spent on new site the bounce rate the referring domain the domains reputations since most consumers don't bother to read beyond the first or second page of search engine where you company rank is extremely important so some easy top level suggestion that can help you improve your view.

How I Built This
Interview With Jack Conte And Sam Yam
"At some point you might get tired of hearing me say that every great business idea often starts as a problem in need of a solution but one reason i keep coming back to. This is the sheer almost stupid. Simplicity of it. It's an equation. You explain to a six year. Old frustration equals idea. Equals action equals solution. Think about jamie semenov who worked out of his garage. He needed to see who was at the front door when the doorbell rang to decide whether to get up and opened the door or stay so he built a video doorbell for himself and then he turned it into a business called ring. Melissa butler couldn't find bolden bright lipstick colors so she created her own and then turned that idea into a business called the lip bar. Mike radan nba had to bike seventeen miles to high school so to make that journey easier. He turned his bike into an electric bike. And that idea eventually became rad. Power bikes and jack conte's problem. It was a problem that at first glance doesn't seem that problematic back in two thousand nine. He and his then girlfriend. Now wife natalie formed a band called pablo moose and in september of that year they released a cover version of beyond says ladies and they made a video to go with it. Video got billions of views and their youtube channel blew up. They were doing media interviews and selling some of their music on i tunes so you're probably wondering what was the problem. Well having lots of followers and viewers doesn't necessarily translate into a sustainable business especially after all the middlemen take their cut. So jack set out to solve this problem and he wondered. Is there a way for artists to make their art. In a sustainable way without a big record label or publisher or studio backing them and the answer he came up with is patriotic. Patriot is a platform that connects artists with their most passionate fans. Fans who willingly pay a monthly subscription to support their favorite artists since its launch in two thousand thirteen patriotic has attracted about two hundred thousand creators including some names that you might know like youtuber jackson bird or the musician beardie man or the podcast chapo trap house but mostly patriotic help support people. You've never heard of ukulele teachers. Graphic artists film reviewers science fiction. Writers fantasy footballers and that sort of how its creators. jack conte and sammy am envisioned. It for starters both salmon. Jack had creative instincts from very early on. Jack grew up in the bay area where he was fascinated with puppetry and loved making his own animations. Sam grew up in pittsburgh where he worked as a waiter at his parents restaurant and actually really loved programming. His calculator and from a young age both of them were also really into music. Sam played classical. Piano and jack started out playing jazz in fact their mutual love of music might be why they were paired up as roommates when they started their freshman year at stanford in two thousand. Two here's jack. I think it was just one of those relationships that that was relatively. I mean at least saying my recollection. It was like easy like it doesn't it didn't take a lot of work. We just kind of it. Just kind of worked. Yeah i think we also had a easygoing humor to to us that we found. Maybe some of the same lacob type things funny and The same friend groups that eventually brought over I think really resonated with me too. So what were you studying in college. chocolate let's start with you. I studied music. You know my whole life. I've been on the arts. Had kind of been like the side thing. But i was on the you know the science and math kind of track. grown up and I love physics in high school. I thought i wanted to be a physical measure when i got to college and then I remember getting to this like the next level of physics. And i was sitting in a class and i think movies often show you like one. Moment of realization in life is rarely like that life is usually like a slow burn. But this was really one moment realization for me sitting in this class whereas like this is not what i wanna do and I just. I was just thinking about songs. I was thinking about music theory class. I was thinking about other things. And that's where my brain was going. And i didn't wanna do physics and i. I remember like sitting on a bench after that physics class for probably forty five minutes. I just sat there and just thought about what that meant for me. Because i was i was. It was kind of a one of those moments in college that feels pivotal

Air pollution listed as cause of 9-year-old's death
"We start the show today with the story of ella kissy deborah. A girl who smile could melt. The coldest hard severe bouts of coughing sent ella to the hospital several years ago. I promised her that. I would do everything to find out why she had suddenly become ill. I promise said that. That's ella's mom. Rosalind kissy deborah. The family lived alongside one of london's busiest most toxic roadways after dozens of trips to the emergency room. Ella died in two thousand thirteen when she was just nine years old. Her mother encouraged experts. To plot on a graph. The link between ellas hospital visits and the air pollution levels outside their home and walk is every time there was a spike was in hospital. And this happened. Twenty seven out of the twenty eight times today in a landmark case accord in the uk rule. That air pollution was one of the causes of the girl's death. Stephen holgate a professor of immunopharmacology at the university of southampton studied aleksey deborah's case and offered testimony to the court. She was a a very healthy girl until she was five years. Old men asthma developed suddenly and over two and a half years. She had twenty seven admissions to hospital which included intensive care cardiac arrests. And when i went into the case notes and look at the various pathological details it was very clear that airways were being strict of the protective lining and had lung was extremely sensitive to chemical pollution. She wasn't living on a knife edge. This go beilin sing on one side of a line which just a small trigger would be sufficient to ten Asmara inter catastrophic event. So i asked you about the environment that led to her death. What did the court exactly rule today. In her case it ruled. the pollution. Generally created by traffic is likely was the coal is not only off the poll. Hell she had for two and a half years but also the initiation of asthma and we were able to be The coroner was able to be quite confident about this mainly because was living in illegal levels of pollution for all the time of her life and this of course linked to the pathological changes. I've just described was why pollution was so strongly associated with death on her illness. What do you think this ruling is so important. I think is the first time appalachian direct. They has been attributed to a death of a child. And i think as a consequence of this. It's put a spotlight on app pollution. Which is not just a statistic in relation to human house where we will no absolution is damaging these real people at the end of these statistics and cheers won that. Pay the cost. If this nine year old girls family had the means to move to a less polluted area. She have likely lived. What's your opinion. There are clinical trials. Demonstrate you just what you said child with asthma who has just regular not severe asthma like she has a moose. From a polluted polluted. Area do benefit enormously uncontrolled. Trials have been published in this area so on quite set that if she Today she would have actually done read. Probably quite well and send you wouldn't have died. I mean l. Is tragic story has a dramatic final ending here but this is a huge problem in the us. Where sources of air pollution things like coal fired power plants. They've historically been built near lower income neighborhoods often neighborhoods with people of color. Is that a problem in the uk as well. Oh we sat as inequalities which you just referred to of course which is reflected in covert as well as company experiencing is very much linked to those most vulnerable and often knits the poorer who get exposed to the west pollution. Do you think today's ruling opens the door to the possibility that environmental policy will increasingly be legislated through the courts at least in the uk. I'm hoping the united kingdom government will respond to this in a very positive way. We need the government as well as the medical and health authorities to recognize. That pollution is an urgent and serious problem. That really does need attending to stephen. Holgate is a professor of immunopharmacology at the university of southampton. Thank you very
The Cryptoverse
A Proposal To Burn Ethereum Transaction Fees
"So a proposal to ben a theory of transaction fees. This is coming from an e. Ip which i will link in the show notes feliciano e ip stands by theory improvements proposal. So now i'll do is. I'm going to read just the abstract on the summary from this thing. And then i'll give you my comments on it. So i actually came across this on git hub. This thing. was originally created in april two thousand and nineteen and has been in development since then and this is all according to harvard and give hope they've logged all of their calls developing development team and if the regulating the less meeting they had on this particular thing was The thet december twenty twenty. So this roy up to date in fact the less meeting that they had at the summary notes for the goal from the december he says generally feeling is that there was enough robust analysis and research with this improvement to begin discussing the next steps in the process i e how to move forward introducing too old cord avs and the theory of maintenance exciting. So that's how close they says to going onto the maintenance right. I think perfected over the of the last year or something booked with talking yet. So they're improvement. Proposal fifteen fifty nine fee market for one point out so. This is an improvement for the existing chain while ago gates shoes on so the simple summary is this is a transaction pricing mechanism. They includes a fixed pad block network feet that is bend and dynamically expands or contracts block sizes to deal with transient congestion. So what does that mean the problem. We have right now. They've got a difficult forming problems with the existing model. The fed will quote is a mismatch between volatility of transaction fee levels and the social cost transactions. The basically say that you one minute. You can have a Network free that's two hundred times what it was a minute ago right depending on just massive spikes in demand for network resources and stuff like that which seemed ridiculous. It's completely unpredictable. At second problem. Is it ends up. With needless delays for uses so does no good as socially unproductive as they call it. Where was the slack in the system to meet block by block demand while that would be met by so the listrik book sized that goes up if the blocks full and goes down if the blocks unfaithful pretty sweet scandal like the big oin difficulty. Adjustment mechanism is for blocksize. Rather than mining difficulty kind of kind of climate also says the problem is the inefficiencies of first price auctions. So what that means. Is that The minute of its to use sophisticated algorithms to estimate what fee to charge the uses of the wallet. And even though they're you know that just doesn't work. Right you end up overpaying the fee or you think you can get confirmation fifteen seconds and it takes three minutes and then you have to submit the transaction again with a high of face. Just it's just a mess right. And then the third thing is they will they call the instability of blue with no block reward. And they say well think about in the long run blockchain bitcoin. They intend to switch to rewarding minus entirely on transaction fees. You know when the bitcoin blocker would reaches next to nothing and they said will there were no issues with this kind of thing instability and so on selfish mining attack vectors and does no good solution for this at present. So what they're proposing to do is twofold one is have. This elects the block size thing where grows books of fold and shrinks of block saw you know novel and then also introduced a different pricing mechanism for transaction fees which would be that would be to to transaction fee going forward one would be this fixed a transaction fee pueblo. Which again go up and down with the blocksize. So you pay that and that base based transaction fee pet blog which would be absolutely known that would get burned right so like i spent boom johnson. Then if you wanna make sure that said your transaction gets into the blog than you can include an additional minor. Bribe as they call on top of the base fee said the minor didn't get any of the because we know that gets burned but they would get the minor bribe and the block reward so they still get two sources of revenue. The blocker would that remains the same They get the minor bribe and then they base fee gets burned. Okay well you might think well as because she's gonna cause the same problem as we've got now no it's not because was different now. Is that the book. Size is going to expand and contract so even if you don't include a minor bribe your wallet will know what the current fixed block transaction fee is and it will know what the next one is as well. So that means that in your wallet when meta mascow. Whatever will you're using. It will be able to quote you very precise transaction fees and the predictability of how soon that will go through and get confirmed. He's also much more set in than is now so that's does really right. You want the detail on how this works. Technically they've even got technical specification and a bunch of solidity code solidity code of how this will work including houses going to be backwards compatible. And how do you order. Transactions and blahdy blahdy. Bob so does that well. If you want my comments on this area. I think this should have been the design of a theory from day. One in fact. When i stood at dairy month old. This was high worked. A thought will gas right. if it's fuel surely is being burned and destroyed and took me quite a while to find out that that wasn't the case to find out the miners. Who gained all these fees on the blogger would which i four was bombing. The second thing is that if this does get implemented nobody does. It will be a massive economic boom for the theory token as an a theory in token hold. I'd be well pleased with this. Especially this would have a big effect on theory and stop the flow ratio. Which of course is top of my mind right. Now since i'm studying under safety and moose and his new book fiat standard. I'm a fan of the standard at any way. But you know that's what sir. I'm studying day to day right now. So i'm always thinking slow. Soaked floor ratio so this proposal would mean that the stock of a theory and will be constantly being reduced to offset some of the inflation for the mining rewards at the minute. He's just constantly inflating with booker woods. there's no destruction. there's no system level destruction anyway might accidentally send some their into the wrong address or whatever but the system doesn't doesn't create any deflation and this would do so on that point while we're talking about you but if i go to f gas station dot info it does have a leaderboard of the biggest guest banners right so actually lofton's articles the the They put on. The side is cold gas burners but as we know until this is implemented this proposal they don't banning gas at all alley just fees going through the contract to the minus with the number one. Let's call him guest bene- right now on the network is the union contract and in the last thirty days the amount of transaction fees going through that contract is twelve point. Seven million dollars worth of ethereal. Oh near enough to day. Two thousand f has been spent on transaction vs pretty significant amount if this proposal was implemented that would mean that in the last days unique swap would be responsible for destroying the two thousand ethereal just brilliant bending they two thousand theorem just from the fees that uses paint to use union swamp great and then tether another twenty six thousand theory would be banned in the last days because of that. So if you wanna in theory times these they say two thousand if theory of the what would ban twenty six thousand. That ted would ban if you want in. Us dollar terms it means units will be bending fifteen million dollars of theorem everyday days and tether will be betting ten million everyday days. I think those would go though. Remember is the capacity of the network would increase with this elastic book size so every time a block is full the next book slightly bigger so absolutely balmy so when when when the network is congested well more transactions go through every book which means more theory and guest band so the busy of the network is the more fees get panda. The big of the fees is self fulfilling prophecy. So i'm of course i'm talking from an economic point of view. If you're in a theory of togo you'd you definitely want this to be implemented because it it. It makes a theory more scarce doesn't it because it's bending the stalk of a theory all the time

Facebook Pursued A 'Buy or Bury' Strategy with Its Monopoly Power
"For years. The media joan facebook has had a policy of bio berry when it came to its competitors. Either bring them on board or kill them off. It's what led facebook to getting hold of instagram and whatsapp but now lawsuit brought by the us. Federal regulators are more than forty five state. Prosecutors has accused facebook of behaving illegally to stifle the competition. I'm joined now by josh. Kohl's research with the university of oxford internet institute to tell us more josh. Welcome you're just explains is what the lawsuit involves then. Yes this is is claiming brought by. Us attorneys general and federal agencies in the us against facebook Full amongst other things is Is that the way in which it acquired. What's up an instagram in the decade. I'm ready it's toughest full doing site so there is a statute in the us against to Anti competitive practices and against fundamental set of against monopolies in certain context. And this case will return on. What was facebook's medidation intention for acquiring these companies and has been the net result full consumers and uses a facebook in these other platforms as a result of these acquisitions. Just explain to us. I mean how this has become the how the rules have changed a little bit because facebook will say this is why the big business is always works and in twenty two hundred twenty fourteen. The regulator waved through the takeovers of instagram and whatsapp. But now things are different. That's right yeah. Facebook general counsel responded to the news by saying that this is an attempt to revisionist history on the pot of the government because it supposedly kind of waves through these in in the last decades under the obama administration. Now it goes that was More cases the state nelson demeaning at the time to to stop the Acquisitions from happening. Rather than truly approving them But nonetheless it does raise the question. What's changed. I think as in contrast to the perhaps the rules changing actually i think the situation on the ground is what has changed. And what has become clear to. Policymakers wraps later than Than some of the rest of us all these abuses really can see us. Data use a choice and competition have emerged from facebook's Moose in the space. I think that's really what change in the wider context say. Is the broad tech clash against big tech. You know we still need The us government announced plans to go to google in october For a slightly smaller. A range of issues really. I maybe less as existential. The google that what to be pressed but nonetheless part of a much wider a an assigned. I think that the tide is starting to turn against big tech. The big tech companies are saying this is going to stifle innovation it. Is that true or is it going to be the absolute opposite. I think he's gonna the absolute opposite right out of my mouth. I mean if you look at what. Instagram and whatsapp were able to do prior to being quiet was really to shake up. perspective markets in various ways in a very different Vibe if you'd like to to the social media landscape By the on quite positive centric social networking strategy which causes blown-up sleep fruits. Since it's been acquired by facebook what's up on the other hand has before it was acquired was was very big on encryption and privacy for the that not serving uses things like that and i think the fact that the co founders of these companies have since the politics facebook Having been acquired a very very large paycheck out of it is a sign that they might be suggestions in the duration of these products are taken both the house passing a bit from the original visions and finally. This is a case where we will hear the private emails on the likes of mark zuckerberg. How will it change people's perception of facebook. Once we works out what actually happens underneath the lid. When i think it made it may change a bit. I mean certainly Zach's emails have been the basis for fa drummer and the positive cases the social Which which Dramatizes early moves in setting up facebook said. I think there's already an image about sandwiches that he's certainly competitive guy and wants to eliminate rivals and i suspect his his usual move fast and break things. Philosophy will extend to festive trade practices as these muslim edge from From the tros that might be unveiled. So tech tech companies taking a beating but it may not be just.
