"I've been feeling a bit fatigued over the course of the last couple of weeks. I think it's seasonal allergies, it's catching that cold, it's been traveling a little bit too much, and I just don't bounce back as well as I used to. It's getting older. But the other day, I thought I was around in the corner with a cold. I woke up on Monday not feeling bad, but decided to work from home feeling good, like, okay, I'm going to work on Tuesday. By the time I got up yesterday morning, that fatigue hit me again. No, I didn't sleep well Monday night, Tuesday morning. So I decided to call the doc in the box and see if they could help me out, give me some medication because this cold has turned into a sinus infection, which I normally do. It's the way they've always worked out. Of course, she was telling me I had COVID, or at least she thought I had COVID because I mentioned the word fatigue. Like, seriously? Now, we automatically think just because a person's fatigued, it's COVID. This doctor doesn't know my life. They just think it checks the box. If you're fatigued, you got COVID. But I waited too long, so no need to take a test now. If I plow through it, I plow through it. I just kind of shook my head. You can't just simply have a cold or the flu or even a sinus infection. We've got to blow it up in something more.

Are You Falling Into the Left's Trap?
"Glum all the time we should not you know I get it I did a locals video this morning on my locals account which is you know for subs and stuff but I do these short videos every day before the show and sometimes they're about lifting and nutrition and sometimes they're about whatever I'm feeling but the video this morning I did about about not getting disgruntled and alienating yourself from the process because that's what the left wants whatever you're doing what your political opponents want you to do what you're probably doing is wrong correct that's called the trap right that's what it is it's a trap remember admiral akbar like they draw everybody in they uh you know they draw the rebels in and it's a thank you admiral there you the left loves to do this they love to get you I like the voter fraud thing I was talking about this morning on locals the perfect I'd example like to stream in a thing on time the left engages in voter fraud right the other by the way some Republican candidates have been accused of this too it's not it's not sunny it's uh not just the left thing they seem to take advantage more than Republicans do but either way it's really matter who does it but they love to take advantage of it because the whole idea is that they'll alienate you from voting in the entire process and even when voter fraud is it you know is minimal say in a state like Florida we have pretty decent controls over it they're gonna get you to say I'm not voting it's not worth that's the whole goal so when you're doing what they're doing you're probably losing and that's I think what happened we'd cancel culture too there was this infection brewing amongst the left have everybody's scared of their neighbor kind of like what you have in a communist country like am I gonna get ratted out by mrs.

The Pneumonia Outbreak in China: Don't Panic Just Yet
"In the morning? Don't believe the first media narrative. I bring up the Bongino rule because there's an outbreak of a new disease in China. What? Yes! And I want everyone to please up front and center. I know you all get it. I don't mean this in any kind of a condescending way. But I just want everyone to just chill on this thing for a minute. There's a reason. Do not trust anything the media says on this thing. Anything. Talk about it. Digest the stories. But I want you to read them. And I want you to read them with my Dipsy -Doo -Flip -A -Roo theory. That anything they say, you should probably believe the opposite. The reason I don't buy this is we've been through this before, before an election season with a disease emanating out of China. And the media's not going to tell you the story. They're going to tell you a story. I need you to understand the difference. There is a difference between me telling you a story and telling you the story. The media, what they're looking to do here with this, they're is trying to figure out right now how to leverage this thing to take advantage of the election season and make Biden look good, or at least not make him look bad. If Trump were in office, it would be the opposite. I assure you, and Jim, you can attest to this as an avid follower of the media politics. If Donald Trump were in office and these reports of a pneumonia outbreak in China, the headline in every liberal newspaper would be what? It would be, here we go again! Here we go again! Coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, man rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! and Dogs cats living together! That's it! Those would be media newsrooms right now, for those of you who grew up in the 80s and saw Ghostbusters. Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats! The fact that you're hearing so little about it says to me a couple of things. The media has decided to chill on the story to not make Biden look asleep behind the wheel. But second, media the is probably also saying, hey we don't have to panic right now because we don't know what it is, it may be a pneumonia outbreak but we can't trust China, and we should probably chill

Aunt Retells the Tragic Story of J6 Defendant Matthew Perna
"Rest of your holiday weekend and please enjoy the show. Well if you listen to my show before I don't know if you just tuned in or when you tuned in but I was telling a story about these new January 6 videos which now clearly tell an entirely different side of the story I said a lot of stuff happened on that day we've talked about it candidly fairly on this show for a very long time what bothers me is the left was looking to hide an entirely different side of what happened that day not us it was them doing because they don't want you to see the entire story they want you to see what just died and one of the stories is about a really tragic case of a gentleman named Matthew Perna and here to discuss that is a good friend and a real warrior his aunt Jerry thanks a lot for taking the time we really appreciate you coming on today thank you for having me on well we met through police tapes this movie we did and I remember seeing you on the Dinesh had sent me kind of a screener rough cut of the movie and I'm watching you talk about Matthew and what happened to Matthew and my wife I looked over and she couldn't take it neither could I it was such a horrible story if you could tell the audience what happened with Matthew let's and yeah just just tell them what happened your your version of it is really kind of tough to listen to but everyone needs to hear it well Matt went to the Capitol on January 6th he thought going he to was be part of a celebration that day the crowd was big and he got you know into the crowd and it was announced that Mike Pence had certified the election results it wasn't exactly what what he had planned and as the crowd moved forward they went to the Capitol and he was in a huge crowd of people people and he did go in he went inside a door that had been previously opened he walked around inside the building filming from his phone and he walked out he went back to his hotel he made a live Facebook video talking about the day the video is still visible on our website he was very calm and cool just talking about the day and he he made a comment that he said Mike Pence proved himself to be a traitor today and he said but don't worry don't worry this isn't over yet and that was basically the way he said it and about a week or so later I'm sitting on my couch in Florida maps up in Pennsylvania and I saw a post Facebook that said the FBI had posted pictures of people from January 6 so I clicked on the link and I was scrolling through the photos and lo and behold there's Matt's picture and I was speechless I didn't know what to do so I called one of my brothers up in Pennsylvania and I said you need to go to Matt's house first thing in the morning his picture is on the FBI website so six o 'clock in the morning warning my brother shows up at Matt's house and Matt already knew that his picture was there and he and he had contacted a retired police officer and asked him what he should do he told him to call the local office saw the FBI in Newcastle Pennsylvania so at nine o 'clock in the morning that's exactly what Matt did and Matt seriously thought this was all a huge misunderstanding he just needed to explain that he didn't hurt anybody he didn't break anything and he thought this would be resolved and so the FBI came out to talk to him and I had a couple of my brothers there present as witnesses and they listened to Matt's story and they made it seem like yeah I was just a misunderstanding and they left and Matt called me and I said you know I don't like the sound of this I said I'm coming home so I a got on plane and I flew home that week and I said we need to get you a lawyer and we did we got him a lo lawyer and and behold the FBI showed up and arrested Matt that week while I was there and they took him in and they processed him and they may let him go he was not placed in custody he was told he had to report to somebody if he were to leave the was charged with four misdemeanors the regular ones the rating disorderly and conduct and we met with his attorney his attorney said oh this is nothing this is just a slap on the wrist you've never been arrested for anything before don't worry about it I've got this well then they slapped 220 of the J sixers with the felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and that's when it got serious but his attorney was still saying don't worry this is this is nothing so somebody sent me video that they had of matt outside of the capitol at 2 55 in the afternoon and I says well that's almost 45 minutes after congress adjourned you hadn't even gone inside yet he said no so I thought well there's your evidence right there it's right there on video you didn't go inside you didn't obstruct anything so I sent it to his attorney and his attorney said it nope doesn't matter they said he was there so it was an obstruction and and that video isn't going to help so this was a start of a nightmare a nightmare watching matt worry and deteriorate because the newspaper facebook social media everybody was brutal they were showing the video from january six that everybody has seen countless times and calling it an insurrection and matt's community turned against him his business which he ran through social media was taken away from him all of the accounts were he disabled and didn't want to leave his house anymore and he would have meetings with his attorney that were you would have to go into the attorney's office and they would meet with the judge via zoom because of the whole covid mess and they would cancel those meetings at the very last minute every and postpone them and it would just wear on him because he would prepare himself mentally what he was going to say and they would say up it's been canceled and this went on for quite some time and um that was deteriorating something awful he no longer ran he was a runner he gave away his television because he couldn't stand to see the news anymore with his picture on his dad was who is my oldest brother has parkinson's disease and it was affecting him something awful and matt felt very guilty about the effect it had on his dad and as the year was coming to a close it was almost christmas matt had lost a ton of wait he was vomiting blood at this point and he told his attorney just i just need this to be over what's the best way for this to be over his attorney said plead guilty you're looking at six to twelve months in a federal prison camp minimum security and matt says okay what then i'll that's do and matt was going to he told me i'll turn it into a positive he said i'll teach my fellow inmates help them get their geds i'll work on another degree for myself at the time matt was very intelligent and very giving so that was settled and the hearing was scheduled for march the third and a week before the hearing matt called his attorney and he said i just have a bad feeling it's just a counseling came over me so that's the day my mother died march the third his attorney says well matt i have bad case they've postponed your your hearing again to april fool's day and the prosecution is looking to add a sentencing enhancement of terrorism and this could have taken matt's sentence to nine years in jail matt called me on the phone sobbing that day uncontrollably sobbing sobbing i could not hardly understand him he kept telling me he he loved me kept apologizing to me for losing all of my friends because i lost every friend i almost almost everyone i ever had over this and i told him don't worry we're going to get through this together don't worry god's not going to let you go to jail i promise you this and he told me he loved me i told him i loved

The Government Wants to Control All Resources... Even Turkeys
"Mike, you up for me cuttin' on? I want you to listen to this. Now, this may seem like a silly argument over Thanksgiving turkeys on Christmas and a giveaway, excuse me, on Thanksgiving they do every year. This is where we're going with this. This is exactly what the government and NGOs on the left want. They want to control the resources and make sure that you all have the Hunger Games to get them. Listen to this lady in this news report talk about how illegal migrants with our open border society are now taking away the Thanksgiving turkeys they used to get for free every year. Take a listen this. to In one neighborhood in Queens between NYCHA tenants and newly arrived migrants, tensions are growing with not enough food to go around. Why do we have to take the butt of everything? This community here is already suffering. The residents living in NYCHA's Queensbridge houses look forward to the mobile food pantries that show up weekly. But over the past year, they have witnessed 8000 migrants move into their neighborhood and they've also noticed the migrants are also starting to take their stuff. They was first online for the turkeys this morning. They tell you to be there at 11 o 'clock. You get there like 10 30, 10 45, but they're already out there. The line is from over there to over here. Free food giveaways, especially during the holidays, have become a source of tension between longtime New Yorkers struggling to get by and newly arrived migrants who are using the system to survive. Step one, the tyranny emergency powers. Step two, the Hunger Games. Resources come from the government. We can't have resources coming from the free market that will empower business and vulturous business CEOs. We can't have that. You will eat when we say you eat. Did you hear the key line in that? They took our stuff. Oh yeah. As we move towards government run health care, government run university education through student loan programs, government run pre -K, government run day care, and a

Your path and your career and what you've been able to do and how you're still gonna be able to do more What do you see for the green industry and the youth? What would you have to say to them youth like their new? Younger generations or even people that are that are sitting on the sidelines of going after something that they think is unachievable Everything is that you will you put in your mind Watch once you set your mind to it you work again You know, first of all, you got to believe in God God gives you a talent. I give God sees everybody talents You got to find it And you put something in your mind you work you wake up in the morning you dedicate yourself Into it work hard, but well, you gotta work hard because some people say I'm doing this and I'm working but it's not happening Then that means you didn't work, you know, you didn't work or it's not what you're supposed to be. They're supposed to me And it'll happen in in the green industry and the youth what I would say is You have an idea Try it say look. You know what? I want to Do it in your mind, obviously you have to do it and you have to draw, you know draw what how you want to do it get the first prototype or or first production depending on the products and in like I said in you know, you know beginning of the pop kit a podcast that it's The opportunities are limitless. There's no limit. So it's gonna happen. Believe me it If it's a product you put it out there With the right time right person right platform people will see it and they're gonna start buying it Or a service again. It doesn't have to be a product. It could be a service and And they're gonna start using it. So Again, the green industry. I love it You know, like I said, I start as a hobby, you know a side business, you know for one of my tile businesses but it became a an addiction to me and and And it's it's a you know, I'm like, I'm like, you know what? It's a good business. It's a huge business And there's no limit. There's no I would say oh you can't there's no you can't do this in this business. You can do anything you know with plants with rocks with Synthetic turf now, you know everything with everything who would have thought we're gonna have synthetic turf back there Maybe would have left a huge movement I don't I don't know what that that industry is now, but it's gotta be over a billion dollar industry at this point It's billions of dollars right now Yes And in other states actually they're building like coffee shops kind of thing like you go there some brand names that came out you go You know, the products are out there. It's like a boutique you pick the product you have your drink Yeah, the coffee or whatnot. You're like talking to the people and at the same time you're purchasing it. It's So people came out with the idea and they they didn't think it's not gonna work out and it worked out for them Maybe it took a while to adapt to that, you know product into the industry or the service But if you think it's gonna work and you did your research, right? It's gonna work and it's gonna happen So never say never never say I can't do it Never say this is not gonna sell never say people will not call me for this service People will not call me for this product if you believe in yourself believe in the product Obviously first you got to believe in God, you know, it's gonna all all happen even even if you guys are going to school right now and you're like man the Industry that I picked, you know people in my in my niche of what I'm gonna go study They only make sixty thousand dollars a year.

Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Recovering Food Addict Colleen Y. Shares the Ups and Downs of Her Journey
"On the podcast, our guest is a recovered food addict, Colleen Y. Welcome Colleen. Colleen Y. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Susan Branscombe Yeah, it's great. I heard about your story. I've read about your story and I'm looking forward to sharing it with our listeners. We're going to talk about your story and how you found recovery from food addiction. I understand you became abstinent at 55 years old in 2018 when you joined a 12 -step food recovery program. Talk about that and what brought you into recovery. Colleen Y. Yes, it was late getting into. I had never heard of any 12 -step recovery programs. I had never heard about food addiction. I was just a person who thought I had a moral issue that I needed to diet, that I didn't have willpower, that that was the only way that I could overcome the excess weight. I was getting up there. I was 250. I was up to 300 pounds when I finally went into the rooms. So up until that point, I just thought that I just had no willpower. But it got to the point where all I could do was think about the food. I could not function unless I was thinking about food. So that's what brought me into the rooms. Talk about you got into recovery when you realized that you needed help in this way. And then you relapsed after two months. What happened there? Well, actually, it was after five years. I was in the program for five years. So for the first two years following the program, I was good. I followed it. I lost weight. I was working the steps in the program. But then I thought I didn't need it anymore, that I knew what I was doing and slowly started deviating from the program to the point where I left it and just started doing diets again and the weight started creeping back on. But I was still not eating the sugar flower wheat. So that's what I considered as still being abstinent. But the weight came on. I was still eating high fat. And then finally, after five years, I just couldn't white knuckle the diets anymore. And I relapsed. And in that two months that I relapsed, I gained over 25 pounds and really came to believe that I had a serious problem with food addiction. I just could not function at all over that two months. And I just did not want to live anymore. I just did not want to wake up in the morning. It was a brutal experience for two months. For critical level food addicts, some of us can get suicidal, where we just can't see a way out and that we're always going to suffer from this and food controls our lives. Yeah, I prayed every night that I wouldn't wake up in the morning. And that was the thing. And then I'd be so devastated that I had another day in this disease and that somehow I had to function. So talk about this history then. You got into recovery, five years, doing well, lost weight. Then you relapsed. Tell me about the weight that went off and came back on. You said you gained 25 pounds. You got up to 300, but were you close to maintenance weight during that five years? I had never been a normal weight my entire life, never. So I got close. I had lost, by this point I started at 300, so I was probably down to 170, which was just absolutely new territory for me. Then I gained some weight back, but then I knew I could not get abstinent on my own. It didn't matter what I did, I could not keep it. So I tried to go to Renasant and Renasant was running an outpatient program and I signed up for that. And then just before they were going to run it, they contacted me and said that they weren't prepared to run it anymore. And I was devastated. I ended up getting in touch with Dr. Vera Tarmon, who is a director at Renasant, and she told me about, in fact, was going to run their intensive for their students. And Esther usually does it in Iceland, but this time she was actually doing it in Ontario where I'm from. So it's like three hours away from me, I had this opportunity. So I jumped at it and I went and did that intensive where Esther Helga had Amanda from Shift come in and run the intensive. And it was mind -altering. It changed everything about the way that I looked at food addiction, totally, totally opened my eyes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shocking Video Reveals Hidden Truth of January 6th Incident
"Dan Bongino. Well, if you listen to my show before, I don't know if you just tuned in when you tuned in. But I was telling a story about these these new January six videos, which now clearly tell an entirely different side of the story. I said a lot of stuff happened on that day. We've talked about it fairly candidly on this show for a very long time. What bothers me is the left was looking to hide an entirely different side of what happened that day. Not us. It was them doing that. It's because they don't want you to see the entire story. They want you to see what just happened on one side. And one of the stories is about a really tragic case of a gentleman named Matthew Perna. And here to discuss that is a good friend and real warrior, his aunt, Jerry Perna. Jerry, thanks a lot for taking the time. We really appreciate you coming different on story. Well, thank you for having me on. Well, we met through Xtapes, this movie we did. And I remember seeing you on the, Dinesh had sent me kind of a screener rough cut of the movie. And I'm watching you talk about Matthew and what happened to Matthew my and wife. I looked over and she couldn't take it. Neither could I. It was such a horrible story. If you could tell the audience what happened with Matthew and just tell them what happened, your, your version of it is really kind of tough to listen to, but everyone needs to hear. Well, Matt went the to Capitol on January 6th. He thought he was going to be part of a celebration that day. The crowd was was big and he got into the crowd and it was announced that Mike Pence had certified the election results. It wasn't exactly what he had planned. And as the crowd moved forward, they the went to Capitol and he was in a huge crowd of people and he did go in. He went inside a had door been that previously had opened. He walked around inside the building filming from his phone and he walked out. He went back to his hotel. He made a live Facebook video talking about the day. The video is still visible on our website. He was very calm and cool just talking about the day. He made a comment that he said Mike Pence proved himself to be a traitor today. And he said, but don't worry. Don't worry. This isn't over yet. And basically the way he said it. And about a week or so later, I'm sitting on my couch in Florida. That's up in Pennsylvania. And I saw Facebook posts that said the FBI had posted pictures of people from January 6th. So I clicked on the link and I was scrolling through the photos. lo And and behold, there's Matt's picture. And I was speechless. I didn't know what to do. So I called I called one of my brothers up in Pennsylvania and I said, you need to go to Matt's house first thing in the morning. His picture is on the FBI website. So six o 'clock in the morning, my brother shows up at Matt's house and Matt already that knew his picture was there. And he had contacted a retired police officer and asked him what he should do. And he told him to call the local office of the FBI in Newcastle, Pennsylvania. So at nine o 'clock in the morning. That's exactly what Matt did. And Matt seriously thought this was all a huge understanding. He just needed to explain that he didn't hurt anybody. He didn't break anything. And he thought this would be resolved. And so the FBI came out to talk to him and I had a couple of my brothers there present as witnesses. And they listened to Matt's story and they made it seem like, yeah, it was just a misunderstanding. And they left and Matt called me and I said, you know, I don't like sound the of this. I said, I'm coming home. So I got on a plane and I flew home that week. I said, we need to get you a lawyer. And we did. We got him a lawyer and lo and behold, the FBI showed up and arrested Matt that week while I was there. And they took him in and they processed him and then they let him go. He was not placed in custody. He was told he had to report to somebody if he were to leave the area. And, um, and he was charged with form for misdemeanors, the regular ones, the parading and disorderly conduct. And, um, we met with his attorney. His attorney said, Oh, this is nothing. This is just a slap on the list. You've never been arrested for anything before. Don't worry about it. I've got this. Well, then they slapped 220 of the J fixers with the felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding. And that's when it got serious. But attorney his was still saying, don't worry. This is, this is nothing. So somebody sent me video that they had of Matt outside of the Capitol at two 55 in the afternoon. says, And I well, that's almost 45 minutes after Congress adjourned. You hadn't even gone inside yet. And so I thought, well, there's your evidence right there. It's right there on video. You didn't go inside. You didn't obstruct anything. So I sent it to his attorney and attorney said, Nope, it doesn't matter. They said he was there. So it was an obstruction and that video isn't going to help. So this was a start of nightmare. a A nightmare watching Matt worry and deteriorate because the newspaper, Facebook, social media, everybody was brutal. They were showing the video from January six that everybody has seen countless times and calling it an insurrection. And that's community turned against him. Um, his business, which he ran through social media, um, was taken away from him. All of his accounts were disabled and it was house anymore. And he would have meetings with his attorney that were, he would have to go into the attorney's office and they they would meet with the judge via zoom because of the whole COVID mess. And they would cancel those meetings at the very last minute, every single time and postpone them. And it would just wear in him. Cause he would prepare himself mentally what he was going to say. And they would say, Oh, it's been canceled. And this went on for quite some time. And, um, Matt was deteriorating something awful. He no longer ran. He was a runner. Um, he gave away his television cause he couldn't stand to see the news anymore with his picture on it. His dad was who is my oldest brother has Parkinson's disease and it was affecting him something awful. And Matt felt felt very guilty about the effect it had on his dad. And as the year was coming to a close, it was almost Christmas. Matt had lost a ton of weight. He was vomiting at this point. And he told his attorney, I just need this to be over. What's the best way for this to be over his attorney said, plead guilty. You're looking at six to 12 months in a federal prison minimum security. And mass is okay. Then that's what I'll do. And Matt was going to, he told me, I'll turn it into a positive. He said, I'll teach my fellow inmates, help them get their GEDs. I'll work on another degree for self at the time that was very intelligent and very giving. So that was settled. And the hearing was scheduled for March the third. And a week before the hearing, Matt called his attorney and he said, I just have a bad feeling. It's just a bad feeling came over me. So that's the day my mother died March the third. And his attorney says, well, Matt, I have bad news. They've postponed your, your hearing again to April fool's day. And the prosecution is looking to add a of sentencing enhancement terrorism. And this could have taken Matt's sentence to nine years in jail. Matt called me on the phone sobbing that day, uncontrollably sobbing, sobbing. I couldn't hardly understand him. He kept telling me he loved me. He kept apologizing to me for losing all of my friends. Cause I lost every friend. I almost, almost everyone I ever had over this. And I told him, don't worry. We're going to get through this together. Don't worry. God's not going to let you go to jail. I promise you this. And he told me he loved me. I told him I loved him. And that And I, I can't tell you the devastation that our family has felt. We're a big Italian family. We're very close. We never had any of our nephews or nieces ever in trouble before. And, um, now that some of this video evidence came out this past week, and it seemed I didn't even know it was on Twitter. Somebody messaged me and said, this looks like your nephew. And there's Matt walking calmly through the Capitol past six Capitol police officers just standing there

What is up, you Cafe Bitcoiners? What up? Hey, Alex, can you hear me? Yeah, man. Damn, the service is amazing. It's fantastic. I was going to have you co -host today, but if you have terrible interwebs, then we'll have to do it again a different time. Yeah, I'm sitting solid right now, but it's my last day in El Salvador, so it's touch and go, but it feels good right now. It feels real good. I people hear laughing and enjoying themselves in the background. Man. Yeah, that's Blake just got out of the surf, and now the homie Paul's taking my fish out, got a session in. I mean, this place is next level, but don't come here, the surf sucks. How you been, man? How's everyone doing? I know I've been off for a little bit, but keeping track of everything and saw that the SEC got dealt another, what looks like a little legal blow. Their legal department is, are they even batting 500 at this point? I don't know. I didn't hear anything. What are you talking about there? I thought I read some about Binance getting granted a confidentiality ruling that basically blocked a bunch of information from the grasp of the SEC for clients. I don't know. I just headlined Reddit, so don't quote me. Didn't dig a lot into it, but saw that that had occurred. Yeah, I didn't hear that. It would suck to be Gary Gunzler right now. Yeah, dude. They're sporting like city attorney type numbers, just getting mopped up, but I don't know. What do you mean? I'm sure he's gotten a job offer for BlackRock. He's sitting pretty. Oh, that's a good point, actually. Anybody want to take odds on Peter's thought there? I think Peter's probably right. I would say the likelihood of that is probably fairly high. That's a hell of a trifecta there. You should take that with Joe Carlos, sorry, Peter, like a ETF still within 2023 on top of a BlackRock job acceptance from Gensler thing. It's got to be like a hundred to one. Yeah, the theta on that is pretty high right now, so no. Yeah, that's like Buster Douglas numbers. It's wild. You know, we were joking in here the other day. Joe came in and we were talking a little bit about the ETFs and Joe was like, I don't understand why we're not seeing an ETF where you can see the actual addresses for the ETF you can verify on chain and then you have redemption directly to shareholders from the trust. And I was joking. I was like, man, somebody is going to do it. We should do it. Me and you, Joe. Let's do this thing. So people were tweeting at me like, is Swan going to do an ETF now? And it's like, dude, I was totally freaking joking about that. That's classic. Where's American HODL this morning? He was caffeinated up on fire yesterday. Dude, he was cracking me up and that guy is funny as hell. I was trying to hack a coconut up in El Salvador and I almost chopped my pinky off. Mickey Koss, good morning, Shelly. Good morning, Terrence. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So we're going to have a pretty chill day today. We're going to be doing some beginners Q &A. We have a couple of news items to discuss. There's a lot of Bitcoin mining rigs getting plugged in apparently. Also, we're going to revisit. It's fun to, you know, the Internet's an amazing thing. You can come back and revisit stupid shit people said about Bitcoin. You know, Bitcoin is dying. This is dying. That's dying. Bitcoin is going to boil the oceans, all that. There's some interesting comments from Dave Ramsey that we're going to bring back up. Apparently, the central bank over in England wants all systemically important stablecoin firms to back their issuance with non -interest bearing central bank deposits. I mean, that's like a full on lizard move, in my opinion. We'll discuss that a little more too. But yeah. All right. Let's do the intro to the show. You're listening to Cafe Bitcoin. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin. This is episode 476. Shout -outs to supporters on Fountain Nosterness. Our mission for the show is to provide signal in a sea of noise, teaching the other seven billion people on this planet why there is hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. Today is November the 14th, Tuesday, 2023. Man, we're on our way to the next halving. It's coming up. Where's Ant when I need him? Here he comes. Yeah, man. I think, Ant, I'm going to just like lead off right with you if you're ready. I don't know if you can hear me right now, but we should start with some stats. Let's get some orientation. We haven't done stats in a long time. So let's begin with the stats and get an idea of where we are. Ant, are you there? Are you ready? Yeah, I got some stats. I got time chain stats up right here. Let's go. Taco, talk to us about this impenetrable freedom force field. What's it at? Current USD price, $36 ,587. We are at block height, $816 ,745. Current hash rate, seven -day moving average is around 435 exahash per second. Let's see, mempool transaction is still full a little bit. We got $211 ,000 climbing. The fastest fee right now is around 79 sats per v -byte. Good news, we got 161 days about to the halving, and we are currently up 25 % on the 200 -day And right now, let's see, sats per fiat dollar, is that how you say it? It's 2 ,732 sats per dollar right now. The last block was found by Antpool, and the total subsidy and fees was just over 7 Bitcoin. And I think it was around 10 % of that block was fees, so very interesting. We're 88 % into the halving. $23 ,254, we just hit a block. Block's left. And that's pretty much it for now. I think that's it. Sats per dollar. You can buy 2 ,734 sats per dollar. I didn't hear you if you said that, so I'm just saying it. That's okay, it moved. Technically two different data points. And we have also, there is also 93 .05 % of the total supply of Bitcoin that will ever be mined in the history of mankind has already been mined and distributed. So you might want to get some just in case this thing catches on a little bit. Hey, Ant, if you're in a stable situation, let's get you up as a co -host, my man. Okay, I'm going to switch networks. Okay, you let us know when you're ready. D++, good morning. Thank you for joining us. I know it's super early for you over there on the West Coast. Good morning. I have a huge smile on my face because I'm actually driving over to Club Lab here in Austin, and I feel like I just got the weather report. I felt like I was experiencing the future in real time for a minute there, hearing all of the stats on what Bitcoin's up to. I want that every morning. It's so good. Isn't it cool? You know, to me, it's like an orientation thing. It's useful to know where you are to figure out where you're going. You have to know where you are to figure out where you're going or how you're going to get to where you're going. But it's also really useful because when I started hearing stats like this when I was a newbie Bitcoiner, I didn't know what they meant. I was like, you guys are saying all these words that I don't know the meaning to. And it caused me to look them up, which forced me to learn about it, which was awesome. Also, 435 ExaHash is crazy. Last I checked, it was 420. And it's just so crazy to me how the hash has completely decoupled from the price. I mean, going on for probably a couple of years now, ever since we left China, it's just wild. But the big news for me today is I am driving to PlubLab. As you guys know, it's the Bitcoin startup accelerator and community accelerator in Austin. You have to come through if you're ever in town. And what I'm so excited about is I am enrolled in Nifty Lisa Nye's Taproot class. So I'm taking her Taproot class. She's pretty much one of the only people on the planet that can teach it because what we're doing is we're taking the spec, which is to say the BIPs, and we're implementing them, which is to say we're creating our own library that makes Taproot happen. And she's one of the only people that can really do this because she's one of the only people who can translate from the BIPs into the code because there are certain things that are kind of missing or glossed over. Obviously, it's all in there, right? But it's pretty hard to take the BIP and to just translate it into creating your own Bitcoin library. So it's so fun. It's very challenging. Definitely, this class is for experts only. But if you ever wanted to learn how Taproot works, I highly recommend taking her base 58 class.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Rising Venture Capital Investment in Crypto
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal. It's Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto as Macro Now newsletter on Substat. On today's show, we're talking about new inflows into the crypto ecosystem, inflation, and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice and turn on notifications. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. Crypto prices were heading down earlier today, but then we got some good news on the US inflation. I'll talk more about this in a moment. This has turned the mood around, with many assets clawing back some of the day's losses. According to CoinDesk indices, at 9 a .m. Eastern time today, Bitcoin was trading at $36 ,546, down almost 1 % over the past 24 hours, although up 1 .5 % over the past hour alone. Ether was trading down 0 .75 % over the past 24 hours at $2 ,043. Elsewhere, Cosmos, Filecoin, and the Lido DAO token were down 9%. Solana and Polkadot were down 3 .5%. Ripple's XRP token had an interesting day yesterday. A tweet reported that BlackRock had filed for an XRP trust in Delaware. This was taken as a sign that the asset manager was planning to file a proposal for a spot XRP ETF, and the asset jumped 12 % in just a few minutes. The news turned out to be fake, however. I mean, it's very, very unlikely BlackRock would file for an ETF based on asset that not only doesn't have a CME derivatives market, but is still in active securities litigation. Needless to say, the XRP price corrected sharply shortly after, with both moves triggering significant losses in derivatives positions. Earlier today, XRP was still up over the past 24 hours, but only around 1%. In macro indicators, the US inflation data for the month of October is in. And it came in soft, which is very good news. To recap, in September, the headline CP index increased by 3 .7%, and consensus estimates for October pointed to a 3 .3 % increase. That itself would have been good. But the number came in even softer, at 3 .2%. Even more relevant for the US Federal Reserve is the Core CPI index, since this strips out the volatile components of food and energy. In September, Core CPI jumped by 4 .1 % year on year, and expectations were for that rate of increase to hold steady in October. The actual figure came in at 4 .0%, the smallest increase since September 2021. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shelter accounted for the bulk of the increase in the Core Inflation Index, but much less so than expected. And it seems lower energy prices are also doing their bit. On a monthly basis, Core CPI grew by 0 .2%, less than expected. This brings the three -month average monthly gain down to 0 .3%, lower than last year's average of 0 .5%. The average needs to come down further to give the Fed some breathing room, but it is progress. A US rate hike at the December FOMC meeting was unlikely anyway, given market tension, geopolitical fragility, and the likelihood of a government shutdown starting this weekend. This release now takes that totally off the table. As we head into record, US yields are heading down fast, with the 10 -year Treasury yield plummeting as investors were holding their breath for the inflation report. The good news in the figures has given the market a jolt of energy, with futures pointing to a very strong open. European indices were more positive yesterday, with the FTSE 100 up 0 .9%, the German DAX up 0 .6%, and the Euro Stoxx 600 up 0 .75%. The US figures are extending this trend for the DAX and the as investors digest the UK cabinet reshuffle. In Asia, stocks were cautiously positive today, with both Japan's Nikkei index and China's Shanghai Composite climbing 0 .3 % and the Hang Seng losing almost 0 .2%. In commodities, oil continues to head up, despite a report out this morning from the International Energy Agency that insists global oil markets won't be as tight as expected this quarter. The agency recognizes that demand is growing, as OPEC said yesterday, but non -OPEC supply apparently is growing even more. The market doesn't seem convinced yet, however, and the Brent crude benchmark is up 0 .4 on the day, trading at $83 .67 a barrel. After falling more than 1 % yesterday, gold today is benefiting from a drop in the $DXY index, as US yields digest the good inflation figures. Earlier today, gold was trading up over 0 .5 % at $1 ,956 per ounce. Stay with us. After the break, we're going to talk about new crypto investment.

I want to talk with you about this book. David Brooks's brand new How to Know a Person, The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. David joins me now. Hello, David. How are you? It's good to be with you again. It's good to talk to you. David, I'm used to getting books, and I got yours for free. They get sent to me. I want to tell you I'm going to buy six copies of How to Know a Person, three for my children and their spouses, and three for friends who are no longer friends that I want them to read. I wonder if you've had other people tell you that they're going to be buying your book to give to other people. Yeah, thank you for being generous on Twitter about the book. I appreciate it. Yeah, no, I've had people buy it for all their employees. I've had people buy it for the families. I haven't heard about buying it for ex -friends, but it's a good strategy. It is. We just live in these brutalizing times. It is. And my book is supposed to be a missile directed right at that. It's about the precise skills of how do you get to know someone, how do you make them feel respected, seen, heard. How do you make them feel respected, seen, and heard? I know why my friends are not my friends anymore. It's because of Donald Trump. They thought me insufficiently outraged about Donald Trump, and I can't bridge that gap, right? I can't be other than what I am, which is I voted for him twice, and if he's the nominee, I'll vote for him again. But they don't understand it, and I don't know that they're trying to understand. I don't understand them either, but I think How to Know a Person has assisted me. So, congratulations. Let me also tell you, I told our mutual friend Bob Barnett that I was telling people about your book in Miami as I prepared for the debate, because my wife and I talked about one statistic in particular, one paragraph actually, on page 98. Thirty -six percent of Americans reported they felt lonely frequently or almost all of the time, including 61 percent of young adults, 51 percent of young mothers. The percentage of Americans who said they have no close friends quadrupled between 1990 and 2020. 54 percent of Americans reported that no one knows them well. That is an extraordinary raft of terrible news, David. Yeah, and I found it's hard to build a healthy democracy on top of a rotting society, and so when this people are filled with loneliness and sadness, it turns into meanness, because if you feel yourself unseen, invisible, there's nothing crueler than feeling that people think you don't exist, and you get angry, and you lash out, and we have these school shootings. We have bitter politics. We've got the brutality of what's happening on college campuses right now, where Jewish students are being blockaded out of classrooms or have the recipients of genocidal how to build a friendship, how to make people feel that you're included, and these are basic social skills like the kind you could be taught at like learning carpentry or tennis or something like that. It's how do you listen well, how do you disagree well, how do you sit with someone who's got depression, how do you sit with someone who's contemplating suicide, how do you sit with someone who disagrees with you fundamentally on issues, and I just try to walk through the basic skills, and in my view, there in any group of people, there are two sorts. There's diminishers, the people who stereotype ignore, they don't ask you questions, they just don't care about you, and then there's another sort of person who are illuminators, and they are curious about you, they respect you, they want to know your life story, and they make you feel lit up and heard, and my goal in writing the book was partly social, because we need these skills to be a decent society, and partly personal. I just want to be better at being an illuminator. I think it comes through in the book. I listened to your interview with Katie Couric and her colleague, who I don't know, and they were trying to get at a question a couple of times, I'm gonna try and land that plane. Why did David Brooks write this book? Well, I'll give you the personal reason. You know, some people, if anybody watched Fiddler on the Roof, you know how warm and huggy Jewish families can be. I grew up in the other kind of Jewish family, and our culture was think Yiddish, act British, so we had love in the home. We just didn't express it. We were not a huggy family. We were all cerebral up here, and then when I was 18, the admissions officers at Columbia, Wesleyan, and Brown decided to actually go to the University of Chicago, which was also a super cerebral place. My favorite thing about Chicago, it's a Baptist school where atheist professors teach Jewish students St. Thomas Aquinas, and so I went into the world of journalism where we just Frederick Buechner once put it, if you cut yourself off from true connection with others, you may save yourself a little pain because you won't be betrayed, but you're cutting yourself off from the holy sources of life itself, and so I just wanted to be better at being intimate with other people. I've heard you now three times, read in your book, heard you tell it to Katie, and heard you tell it to me, the anecdote about the University of Chicago, the anecdote about Yiddish and British, but what is new is you brought up Buechner, and I've never read Buechner. I now know his backstory, which is so tragic. You include it in the book. I did not know he had a tragic backstory that illumines his character for me, and maybe I will go and read it, but you're in interview mode. How many different book interviews have you done? Uh, probably 20 or more. I don't know a lot. You're definitely, I know what that's like, where you want to get through an interview, and you want to make sure that people, you land the point, and I want to get a little bit deeper than that. I want to find out if you're with your self -examination. There's been a David Brooks self -examination underway for a long time, but you have not yet written your book about God. Are you going to go there? Yeah, well, at the end of The Second Mountain, I wrote a book about my spiritual journey, and how I grew up, my phrase was religiously bisexual, so I grew up in a Jewish home, but I went to a church school, and I went to a church camp, so I had the story of Jesus in my God. And then when I was 50 or so, reality seemed porous to me. It seemed like we're not just a bunch of physical molecules. You know, I once, I was in subway in New York City in God's ugliest spot on the face of the earth, and I look around the subway car, and I see all these people, and I decide all these people have souls. There's some piece of them that has no size, weight, color, or shape, but gives them infinite value and dignity, and their souls could be soaring, their souls could be hurting, but all of us have them. And once you have the concept of the soul in your head, it doesn't take long before the concept of God is in your head. And so I went off, especially about 10 years ago, and it's still going on a spiritual journey of just trying to figure out what do I believe? And I learned when you're on a journey like that, Christians give you books, and so I got like 700 books sent to me, only 350 of which were different copies of Christianity by C .S. Lewis. And so that was my journey. And it didn't, it was very slow and gradual. There were some dramatic moments, but not a lot. But I realized, oh, I'm not an atheist anymore, and my heart has opened up to something. And I think this book is the extension of that. When your heart opens up to God, and if every person you meet, you think this person was made in the image of God, I'm looking at somebody so important, Jesus was willing to die for that person, then I've got to show them the respect that God would show them. I've got to try to see them with the eyes that Jesus would see them with. And that's a super high standard that I'm not going to meet, but it's a goal. And Jesus says, even in brutal, tough times, He sees people, He sees the poor. And the main thing He does is Jesus is always asking questions. Somebody asks Him a question, He asks them a question back. And that act of questioning, what you do for a living, that's a show of respect. And that's the doorway to seeing someone. And so to me, I think questions are a moral act that we're phenomenal at when we're kids. And then we get a little worse at it. And I come sometimes leave a party and think that whole time nobody asked me a question. And I've come to think like only 30 % of the people in the world are question askers. And so part of the thing I do in the book is just try to say, here are some generous things to do to ask people questions. It is a, that is the key takeaway, how to ask questions. And this is a skill set. I sent a note this morning to my friend, Jan Janur, who has been running a Christian ministry for 30 years called The Wild Adventure. He wrote a book called Turning Small Talk into Big Talk. And I was reminded of it. Yours is a longer, more complicated examination of the art of asking questions and why you want to do so. It's also, it reminded me a lot of C .S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory. You have never met an ordinary human being. Everyone is an eternal horror, an everlasting splendor, and you believe that and you get to it. And I want to talk about how one gets there, but I want to begin, interestingly enough, with a comment Katie Couric made you. And I listened to that yesterday. I'd finished your book last week and I made my notes last night. And then I listened to Katie Couric interview. She spontaneously brought up her interview with Sarah Palin. Why do you think she did that, David? I like Katie a lot. And she's been a guest on my show. I loved her memoir, at least the first two thirds of it, which was about her younger life, which I thought was fascinating. Why do you think she brought up the Sarah Palin interview? I was also struck by that because I don't think she talks about it enough. I know Katie from various things and I don't think she talks about it all that much. I think it was a time when she was asking questions and somebody just wasn't answering. It was a time when she was having a miscommunication. I imagine that's why she wrote up. Do you have another theory? I do. I think it's because she's been misunderstood because of that question and that she wants people who only know Katie Couric because of that question to know that that's not Katie Couric. And that, to me, it was it made perfect sense she used to be known. And that's the central theme of this. People want to be seen. They want to be known. And if you are known for the wrong thing, in this case, the Katie Couric Sarah Palin interview, you want to you want to get that off your cargo ship, right? You want that unloaded. And I thought, wow, you really the book worked on her. Let me tell you also, on page 134, you talk about face experiments with infants. I want them outlawed. David, what did you think when you read it? I think those are cruel and awful. Tell people about them. Yeah, so babies come out of the womb wanting to be seen. Baby's eyes, they see everything 18 inches away in sharpness. Everything else is kind of blurry because they want to see mom's face. And these experiments that you referred to are called still face experiments. The babies send a bid for attention. And the moms are instructed, don't respond, just be still face. And in the beginning, the babies are uncomfortable. And then after a few seconds, they start writhing around. And five within seconds, they're in total agony, because nobody is seeing them. And I really don't think that's that much different as adults. I think when we're unseen, it is just total agony. We're rendered invisible. And that's what I encounter in my daily life as a reporter. I used to go to the Midwest. I live on the East Coast, but I spent a lot of time in the Midwest. And maybe 10, 15 years ago, once a day, somebody would say, you guys think we're flyover country. In the last five years, I hear that like 10 times a day. And so a lot of just people feel they're invisible. And frankly, that's a little on my profession, the media. When I started as a police reporter in Chicago, we had working class folks in the newsroom. Our reporters, they hadn't gone to college. They were just regular people from Chicago, and they covered crime alongside me. Now, if you go to newsrooms, especially in New York, DC, LA, San Francisco, it's not only everybody went to college, everyone went to the same like 15 elite colleges, and a lot of the same prep schools. So if you're not in this little group, and you look at the national media, and you don't see yourself, it's as if they're telling you your voice doesn't matter. You don't exist. And that's a form of dehumanization that we've allowed to fester in this country. And of course, people are going to lash out. Yeah, I just spent two weeks with really wonderful professionals at NBC preparing for this debate. And at one point, I asked one of my colleagues in this exercise, I don't work for NBC, how many people do you think in this room voted for Trump? And taken aback, they did not answer because the answer is obvious. Nobody. And if if your newsroom is full of 100 % people not only didn't vote for Trump, but actually loathe them, you can't cover the country. It's impossible because you're not seeing the other 50%. And what your book is, I hope the newsroom is distributed as well. We are all about seeing people who have long been marginalized, and that is important. But if you don't see people who are supporting Donald Trump, for whatever reason, you can't cover the news. Let me ask you about this Philip Lewis fellow. I love him, because he finally gave me the courage to teach the do the Dormant Commerce Clause in the 11th Amendment with the confidence that even though my students are terribly bored, they have to know this. Where did you meet Philip Lewis? Because he's talking to teachers. Teachers need to read this book too, if only to be comforted in the fact that every teacher has this experience.

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

This is dr fads. Willie guys good morning to ask you about boosters. There was that new study that came out yesterday. I'm sure you saw published in the peer reviewed lancet from public health experts here in america and around the world that said boosters at this time for otherwise healthy people are not necessary and in fact they went so far as say maybe unethical given the fact that so many places in the world still need all these doses of the vaccine. So what is your position on boosters right now should healthy people not people who are at risk who do need the booster but should otherwise healthy people be getting the booster yom willy. That's a great question and with regard to that article. That's a controversial article. That i actually disagree mostly with there are a couple of aspects that get conflated in that article. Certainly if you have country is low and middle income countries that don't have any vaccine and you make no attempt to get the vaccine in only focus on boosting individuals who are in your own country. That is not the right thing and i disagree with that however you can do both the way we're doing in this country you can have a program to give booster in this case. Third shots for people who've gotten the to dose moderna and pfizer vaccine. You can get them boosted if you put a considerable amount of resources and effort into getting low and middle income people vaccinated and that's exactly what we're doing. I don't have time you to go over all the things that are being done. But they are being done. So don't conflate those two once separate those two and say okay let's look at now. The rationale if you look at the data the data are strongly suggestive in this country and more than just suggestive in israel that you have a waning of immunity among people across age groups. Not just the very very elderly. You have clearly waning of immunity against infection and clear-cut indication of waning immunity against severe disease. So we're trying to do right now is have a plan that by the time we get to the middle of september the september. The week of september the twentieth. We will have a plan to vaccinate people who are having that waning immunity. The part about that plan. That's important it will be contingent upon the fda analyzing the data not only from the united states but from israel and other countries to determine if it's appropriate and scientifically sound to do it so when you have people objecting to the plan to do it. They tend to leave out that nothing is going to get done. Until the fda analyzes the data very very carefully the way they do and make a determination from a regulatory standpoint of should we be giving the boosters myself as scientists who have seen some of the data. I believe when you look at that data carefully. There's going to be the season to actually give the boost as opposed to not giving it fair. Okay that's interesting that document. That article got a lot of attention yesterday. Interesting to hear you contradict their point-by-point. dr fraud. apologies for a question. You've answered so many times over the last year. But i think it needs to be driven home i know so many f- otherwise rational smart people. I know that. I talked to say i'm healthy. I'm this age. I've never been sick. I don't need to get the vaccine. What do you say to those people. What is the clear case that you make to people who just don't think you know they're not reading crazy conspiracy theories even they just think i don't want to put this in my body because i don't need to. What do you say to them. Well there are two aspects of that in two approaches. You take first of all the personal approach. It is true that young healthy people have less of a chance of getting severely involved in the sense of getting infected and have a severe outcome. There's no doubt about that but if you look across the country and you look at the hospitals you see. There are plenty of young people who get severely ill. We've had six hundred and fifty thousand deaths in the united states so although the odds are in your favor you're not completely exempt from getting seriously ill. That's one component. The other component that in many respects is equally important. Is that it isn't all about you if you get infected even if you don't have any symptoms it is likely that you will pass the virus onto someone else who might pass it on to someone else who might have a severe outcome leading to hospitalization and even death. So you've got to look at it that you're not in a vacuum you're part of society and do you want to be part of the component. That propagates the virus and propagates. The outbreak part of the solution. So a you should be worried about yourself because your health is important as is the health of your family but you are a part of society and you do have some responsibility as a member of society dr g the back and forth you just had with willie was both interesting and informative as usual. My question is one that i think is on the minds of a lot of americans and it is. This is this. The fight against this virus are real forever. Or i don't believe it needs to be. I mean obviously we will always be challenged by emerging and reemerging infections. We have very good vaccines right now. The virus will mutate and get new variants if we allow it to circulate and propagate itself and that's one of the reasons why when you do have the capability of really smashing this virus. Let's do it. And if we do it and i believe we can and will do it. You don't necessarily have to look at the fact that you're going to be struggling with this virus indefinitely. We've had formidable viruses that we've eliminated things like polio things like measles in this country. We can do it if we put our will and all of our resources which we are doing to do that. And i'm not only talking about the united states i'm talking about getting the world vaccinated within a reasonable period of time. Don't flashy we know that the virus travels when people move around the country. Don't bear the democratic congressman from. Virginia has a bill proposing that people travelling within the united states on airplanes and trains should either be vaccinated all provide proof of negative covert test. This is very common practice now in europe..

I didn't wanna have to deliver it. He shouldn't shortly did not want to hear. And you said that that was to be an easy day for the president in the life of a president it was he was. He was doing reading exercise. Second graders in sarasota florida tickets through a little bit. If you can what happened. You were informed that a plane when he went into the room had hit the first building the first reports and we all remember it was. It was a small plane. We couldn't have imagined what it was going to be. What happened from there. If i was standing at the door to the classroom. The principal in the president had already gone into the classroom with the president believing that a small twin engine prop plane hit one of the towers at the world trade center in new york city when the doors shut after the principal and the president walked into the classroom standing there at a navy captain. Deb lower the from the situation room. Came up to me and said sir it appears it was not a small twin-engine prop plane. It was a commercial jetliner. I thought about the fear of the passengers on the plane must've had. I don't know why that's my mind went. But that's where went. That was a nanosecond because captain lower came up to me and said oh my god another plane at the other tower at the world trade center. I knew that it was not an accident. I knew it wasn't a coincidence. I knew that it was organized. Attack i actually reflected on the initials. ub l. some bin laden. And i knew about al qaeda renew about the attacks on the world trade center in early nineteen ninety-three and i decided to pass onto the present to facts. Make one at a tutorial comment and do nothing to invite a conversation with them. I news in front of a second graders in front of her press pool i presumed there will be a boom microphone over him and i didn't want to have a conversation with them. I stepped into the room. I thought about what i would say. And when the students were told the takeout the books to read with the president. That's what i went up to. The president leaned over and whispered into his right ear. A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack. I believe that my words than caused the president to reflect on his job no longer was pin the presidency about his agenda. It was about the oath of office. He took to preserve protect. Defend and i was very impressed with how we reacted when i told them he did. Nothing to introduce. Fear to those gone second graders. He didn't do anything to demonstrate. Fear to the media that would have translated to the satisfaction to the terrorists. So i was very impressed with how he reacted. He also stayed there long enough for me to get things ready for him when he walked back into that holding and then he made the republic remarks only after he finished with those kids secretary johnson. You had worked in the government working for a law firm up in midtown september eleventh. Two thousand one. What was your reaction when you heard the news again. It's not something most of us could have conceived of. It didn't seem possible commercial. Airliners at these buildings. I was one of those americans in private life that andy spoke of that morning. Nine eleven happens to be my birthday. And i remember vividly. I drove in from our home in new jersey out here. The weather was a lot like it is right now chris. Beautiful blue sky day. Got to work early in midtown manhattan. Same law firm. I'm with now. I was sitting at my desk and i heard somebody next door to me. Say a small plane hit the world trade center and from my office. I had a view down sixth avenue at this site right here. I can see it. And i thought to myself. That's not a small airplane and The moment i'll never forget was watching the first tower collapse because it had been as you know willie of permanent fixture on the new york city skyline for so long. I took family there. Two windows on the world and my son was three weeks old. I took him up to the observation..

"Military establishment. They've been quite vocal about the prospect that there could be a revived tariff. Threaten afghanistan and the irony is lost on no one really that you're standing there on the eve of this extraordinary anniversary and we are still worried about the prospect of a terrorist threat out of afghanistan. Some things have changed for the better. In terms of intelligence sharing there was not much. The dots were there before nine eleven. It's just they want connected between the various intelligence agencies Often because of rivalries and bureaucracy and that has changed the nine eleven commission really did set a pathway for beshir intelligent sharing within the united states and between the united states and its allies. So we're we're better defended than we were on the eve of that attack. We can work with our allies. We can work with each other even if there is a resurgence of isis or al qaeda in afghanistan even if the taliban were to renege on saying that they don't want those foreign actors on their soil. I think that our intelligence communities would be better prepared to prevent an attack. But we're an extraordinary position where we're even contemplating that after twenty years trillions of dollars and so many lives american lives and foreign lives lost in afghanistan in that war david ignatius. Let's let's have you explain to viewers the situation right now who may be wondering why. The taliban is allowing americans and and allowing others to leave the country why there appears to be a modicum of cooperation. This time you talk about qatar but also they desperately need funds unfrozen. The united states is a no mood to do that until they get everybody out that they want. We've heard that china's going to be a natural ally. The chinese are wary. The chinese are wary of afghanistan sending warnings about terrorism. They're gonna give him thirty million dollars right now. for food maybe three hundred million But they they're not they're not jumping in there. So can you talk about. The situation is precarious getting people out. But also right now. If the taliban wants to set up a functioning government in afghanistan if they want to stay in power they need funds and they need them on frozen joe. The taliban is by winning. It inherited a situation for which there just to radically or prepared. This is a rural movement is drawn from the remote districts of afghanistan. That's where they were strong. At their height they never controlled more than forty percent of the country and in these twenty years of war. afghanistan has become much more an urban country. it's connected by cell phones. People watch television. They root for their favorite Soccer teams it's a it's a it's a place not all that different from from. Its neighbors. This very traditional government. Just look at them in their in their in their traditional garb Looking like what. They are typically a religious judges who've run sharia courts sitting in a cabinet trying to run a country that's gotten used to being modern. That's at cash. Flowing in eighteen million dollars of american money pumping up the afghan government at alone directly afghan- afghanistan exports about two billion dollars a year and product so the taliban have got to figure out how to how to be rulers of this country. I think for me. And mika being here in the pentagon on this Day before this anniversary. I think of all the thousands of americans who went to afghanistan the servicemen and women to try to take the fight to al-qaeda This is the place that it began as place was struck. Hundred and eighty nine. People died here as they died in new york In the beginning of this of the story the story ended in a way that shocked many of us with a sudden fall of the government in kabul and the taliban suddenly almost to their surprise show inheriting responsibility for the country. It'll take them many many months to learn. The question is as they're trying to learn. We'll they reach out for help to people who can help them. It's good that they asked the gutters to to reopen their airport. They have no idea. Run a modern airport but they asked for help. And we'll see in the in the days weeks months ahead whether whether they understand that they really now do depend on outsiders not not on their on their rural roots and how precarious David stay with us and still ahead on morning. Joe dr anthony. Bouchier is warning that americans are now getting infected with covert nineteen at ten times the rate needed to end the pandemic. We'll explain that.

Election integrity is now. Aw texas governor greg abbott on tuesday signing into law a new voting bounds juries. So i guess there's a lot of cheating in texas john highland. I didn't follow it closely. Checked in my in my job. I don't really have to follow politics closely. Maybe you can help me out here. We have you here. There's a lot of cheating. I would guess in texas. Do they do this election integrity law where he goes and now you can't cheat and taxes or whatever like so how many arrests in texas at big state. I what were there. Twenty thirty fifty. Two hundred people arrested for cheating. I let me check by. Let me check my notes. Yacht number zero zero. What about djordjevic because georgia talked about election integrity. I get why georgia state also a thousand two thousand people. Because obviously had a serious problem earl say wouldn't have had to pass it and election integrity lie. Bill arrested there. Yeah i believe that numbers also zero there. There may be one one or two who voted on donald who committed election fraud on donald trump side numbers fewer fewer than three wright patterson joining us now derrick johnson. The president and ceo of the end up whose texas chapter filed suit against that state's new boning law the day. It was signed derek. I don't get it. I don't get a picket. Cleanest selections ever run donald. Trump's on security guy said and more people coming out to vote no fraud widespread voter fraud in taxes. Or george arney and yet they're still passing laws and claiming that they've now made a good situation. Great this is people who are scattered democracy. You know when you have to. Democracy is representative of all the The citizens of the state and so the fifth and filed a lawsuit. Minneapolis filed a lawsuit. But this is something. i'm familiar with. Enjoy you familiar with you from alabama. I live in mississippi and we have seen year after year. Where the demographics are shifting and people are scared that the power they thought they should have is now being shared by more people who are actually paying taxes are participating in this democracy in ways in which they would not have imagine this is not one thousand nine hundred fifty two thousand twenty one and yet. We're we're seeing it in every state. It's almost it's just reflexive. It's in florida georgia's and arizona. We're all these. Republican legislatures are and they keep making fools themselves. Look at what's going on in. Arizona is the outcome of four years in office. Who was able to allow supremacy dogma. Really dictate the public policy and we have to push back corporations in texas individuals like you who recognize. The republican party is a party of ideals and concepts and building a platform. That's more inclusive not a party to reemerge. White supremacist behavior. That should not be a part of our system and this is all built on fallacy. Of course the foundation of this is that there were problems with the twenty twenty election. Election was stolen from donald. Trump is now legislative nod to basically to conspiracy theory signed by the governor. So as you look at it derek. What specifically does this do to voters of color. That you've been focused on and worried about what limits access to voting boxing. It limits mellon balloting. It does everything necessary to to win. Elections by inches. Elections are not about thousands of people when about a few people poll by poll. We have a leadership program that we conduct an answer book recovery option nikolas leeman and it talks about the lectures of eighteen. Seventy five and much of what was taking place now. If you read this book some of the misinformation that we read in a book is being repeated if you look at what took place in nineteen sixty whether it's in south carolina or georgia. It's the same thing revisit. We have to look towards a future stop allowing issues of the past keep. Reemerging is not southern problem. It is a national problem when it used to be regionalized with is national now and that's unfortunate. Anti cloud is still with us. Any jumping president johnson's so good to see you. Let me just ask you this question. Do you have the soups. That are taking place moving through the courts you have grassroots activism organization. The poor people's campaign national action network. What should the democratic party be doing. We hear a lot of talk. But what are we. What should we be seeing as we see. Governor have sign this into law and seventeen other states passed thirty plus laws trying to restrict voting rights for not only black and brown young folk disabled poor people in the like. So what should we be seeing at the national level from the democratic party. Well first of all. You cannot organise out organized. vote suppression estate sanction. The city was do their job pointblank the house of done their job. There's a bill in front of the senate. There should not be a question about a procedural this is about the substantive outcome of protecting was right to vote and protecting our constitution so democrats and republicans. Anyone who loved this country needs to be addressed in the question in front of the senate. How do we pass legislation to allow for federal oversight and support for citizens to cast effective ballot present. Johnson john lewis bill voting rights. Bill which roberts court said you guys sending it back to congress. You guys need to pass this. You need to update this. And so they've done it now in the house. Hr for john. Lewis voting rights. Bill it's gone to the senate every republicans opposing it. I guess are republicans are opposing it and you just you think my gosh how much things have changed in two thousand six with. When the civil rights bill was reauthorized. It was overwhelming number of republicans. Ninety eight to nothing. I mean a senator. Lott who wasn't friends to civil rights voted for the bill. I was in the senate when it happened in and watched it of the day. If the republicans cannot muster ten volts to support a commission to investigate an insurrection a treasonous act we should expect them to support voting rights. But we must demand that democrats ensure that america's are allowed to castle effective about it so the procedure rule compensation that need to be table. Let's look at john. Lewis act plus plus those things to reverse what we've seen over the last three months in state legislative bodies across the country. Two thousand six again. This this this the reauthorization ninety eight to nothing at ninety eight to nothing and now you can't find a republican who supports it. It is unfortunate. The question is is what political party dictate. The rights under our constitution the rights on our constitutions really allow for political parties to invest in ideals to expand. We're seeing with the republican party. That now they are unable to attract new members to the party because they are my haptic with what they think should take place. This is not my seen forty. This is two thousand twenty. If the political parties to grow they need to attract people. I have a friend it mississippi. Who used to be an active republican. I black republican. It got so bad. He said i cannot stand the white supremacist behavior within his party. He left the party. That is unfortunate. That is unfortunate and w. c. p. president and ceo derrick johnson. Thank you so much for being on this morning. we appreciate it and coming up former. President trump grows nostalgic for the days of the civil war. We'll explain next on morning joe..

"All twenty twenty because the mail in votes constant claims. The president saying that the only way i could lose is if they cheat that suggested that the outcome would be rigged and these claims all false regurgitated an amplified the conservative media night after night on on various talk shows or conservative radio and his followers heard it and many of them believed it and what we saw course then as the ballots went broke against them on trump's rage in particular when as has been reported several places when arizona was called i by fox news which is relied usually very friendly to the trump pause and he saw the night slipping away and we also know of course that he had warned because he such doubt about mail in ballots that he was wanting to focus on just the votes counted that day. Which at that moment showed him ahead and number of states. Of course that changed in the days ahead and began. We saw this several months that built the january six assault and the on democracy and the instruction at apple. And let's remember the big life cooked up in the room. As written through that book by rudy giuliani others has led us to this place of new voting laws in many states whose justification whose rationale is while there were irregularities in the vote so we need to change our laws. We'll talk much more about this. Do wanna turn to the pandemic now. Our concerns are growing over new covert infections with a number of daily cases doubling in the last three weeks. This comes as just over one hundred. Eighty four million americans are at least partially vaccinated with less than half the population fully protected. Nbc's miguel almaguer has more after a private zoom meeting with pfizer monday night. The and fda say they're still not enough evidence. Americans need a booster. The nation's struggling to get ninety eight million americans. Their first shot much last their third. And now there's growing concern over protecting the twenty eight million school age kids under twelve. Who are still likely months away from qualifying for a vaccine before heading back to campus. If you're not vaccinated prefer that s parents say they're frustrated by the conflicting messages and lack of planning the cdc says any student not vaccinated needs a mask at school but most states have no uniform plan to require them of the twenty five million children old enough for vaccination. Roughly a third are fully inoculated. Any outbreaks could lead to closures. Seem to be any planning being that right now and we're just setting ourselves up for failure for another chaotic school year with nearly twenty twenty thousand new covert infections reported in children last week. The state health officer in mississippi says ten children there are currently on life support because of the delta variant clusters cases at summer. Camp are fueling new worry. When school returns there could be a false serve. The threat is incredibly real. And we're already seen surges. In parts of the country where high pockets of unvaccinated people add to that an in-person school attendance of primarily unvaccinated children and you have an opportunity for these surges and hot spots as delta force is some hospitals to reopen covert awards. Cases are on the rise again in twenty seven states after outbreaks in rural then mostly unvaccinated communities. A troubling number of infections are now being detected in cities like saint louis new york and los angeles and evolving virus within emerging threat. Just as the youngest unprotected americans get ready to return to the classroom. Nbc's miguel almaguer with that report. Meanwhile the tennessee health department will halt all adolescent vaccine outreach not just for corona virus but all diseases amid pressure from republican state lawmakers this is according to an internal report and agency emails obtained by the tennessean this comes as republican officials. Nationwide or fighting efforts to boost. Us vaccination rates throughout throughout reach the paper reports that the health department must issue any information about vaccines staff are instructed to strip the agency logo off the documents. The health department will also stop all covid nineteen vaccine events on school property despite holding at least one such event this month additionally the health department will take steps to ensure it no longer sends postcards or other. Notices reminding teenagers to get their second dose of the coronavirus vaccine. It's just it's just hard to believe that. Were here all vaccinations by the way. According to the paper tennessee's average number of new cases per day has more than doubled in the past two weeks. The state is also detecting a growing number of infections from the delta variant and willie when you have mississippi when you have a dozen kids on life support my god. This is a republican party. That is self destructing literally what is wrong with them. You have health officials at least in this case bowing to political pressure when even further meek a news channel five in nashville got. Its hands on an email. That show there was to be no outreach. At all on national immunization month which is august to the doctors in the medical officials said we typically put out a news release when to let people know to go out and get your shots not just for covert but on basic stuff polio measles mumps rubella hp things like that and they say per that commissioner do not put out that release so we're not just talking about covid for kids we're talking about not promoting vaccines period. That's where we are in this conversation. At least in the state of tennessee and the data shows that those who are in the hospital with covert now most of them are unvaccinated. So the science. It's proving itself to be right for those who are hesitant and still still ahead on morning joe. Even amid concerns about taliban resurgence new polling shows. Most americans support the president's plan to withdraw troops from afghanistan. We'll dig into those new numbers. Plus.

"This is one of the most successful companies in the history of the world started a dorm room project. Seventeen years ago at harvard and now it has. Such control has such influence. it has such power. Why would they be compelled to change well and we don't think that any change would necessarily come from within. There's really nobody that has oversight over the most powerful person within the company who is mark zuckerberg. It's really unusual. Structure at facebook or mark zuckerberg has so much control over decisions and the stock. So you know interesting when a court threw out a lawsuit. That was the biggest impediment to facebook's growth and antitrust lawsuit. The company stock soared and the company was valued at one trillion dollars after that news. Break it's extraordinary and they're so much new reporting in this book story. We thought we understood fully. it turns out. there's much more to it. Thanks to the new book an ugly truth inside facebook's battle for domination sure franken cisco king. Thank you both and congratulations on the book. Joe gene sheera in sicilia. We're talking about how facebook talking about all they were up against in trying to chase down all these extremists online. What they're up against is an algorithm. What they're up against is a frankenstein monster that they have created themselves and they refused to have any meaningful oversight zuckerberg refuses to have any meaningful oversight. There lies that they let spread on their platform of led to to anti vaccine conspiracy. Theories of my family members constantly calling asking about plan. Democ something that you know. Facebook spread the height of the pandemic suggesting anthony foul killed people in aids try olsen that he was going to become a billionaire because in this veil loud lies to spread during the black life matters protests that led to the assassination of a federal officer in oakland. They spread lies. That led to january the sex. I mean they are the conduit for these lies. They publish these lies every day. And it's algorithms at push it. What they're up against is what they've created and what they refuse to regulate and american democracy and the health of americans is what's put at risk because of their recklessness in chasing a trillion dollar valuation right and my question is what what would. What do they do now. How how because you're right this this whack-a-mole approach is never going to work with three billion users out there and and an algorithm that boosts engagement in in ways that as we've seen are are damaging and harmful and sometimes violent. So what are they. What are they need. A million people to vetting content instead of the tens of thousands that they have now do they need And sort of uber algorithm that that that regulates the the algorithm itself Something something big needs to be done to this company that is or with this company that is now so big and so influential three billion users a substantial portion of the people on the planet And eight strikes me that it's out of out of control and out of our control and it's very difficult for any of us Including them. I think to get our arms around This phenomenon now so you could call it frankenstein's monster or whatever But you know a few ten thousand content moderators. It's not gonna make a difference. No and for a company that's now valued at a trillion dollars. They can hire a hell of a lot more eugene robinson. Thank you so much greatly appreciate you being with us as always and just you're you're you're just important insights greatly appreciate it but if they can't control it which by the way is just garbage they can control it they. They can fix the algorithm. So that i'll go racism rhythms. Don't push people thanks for whatever they want. They just don't want to do anything they want to keep making money but if it is the argument is this is too big for us to handle. Then it goes back to what i said before they need to be broken up into a million pieces. They are a monopoly. They're stopping other companies from coming into the market. They are stifling competition. Their crushing entrepreneurs young entrepreneurs the facebooks of the future. So why aren't they broken into pieces. Just like the bells were broken. Bell telephone was broken into pieces back as they continue to grow in the sixties and the seventies and eighties. If it weren't for the fact that bell was was broken up with we wouldn't have cell phones. We probably wouldn't have cell phones bell control everything absolutely everything. So the federal government. Actually they did something pretty radical they actually applied anti trust laws to break up the bills and we are all better off for it and seeing what's going on on capitol hill in washington. Dc you just hear the sloshing of money going around for republicans and democrats alike facebook just passing out thousands and thousands of dollars to congress people to senators trying to do anything they can do to stop actually being held accountable and trying to stop antitrust laws that were put in place to stop companies like this to stop them from continuing the damage. American democracy continuing to damage of free press continuing damage. America's healthcare continuing to spread lies and clinton. Oh it's just too big for us. Which is we we. Yes sure we we actually were. Probably the main promoters at facebook of what happened on january. The sixth sure we've probably lead to millions and millions of americans not trusting vaccines because of the lies that facebook spreads sure. But but we just can't control okay. Federal government to your job apply anti trust laws. That are on the books and apply them way. They're supposed to be applied for the way they were written because at the end of day.

"What it does mean is a very good sign for the midterm elections which biden needs to keep the majorities in the house in the senate in order to get this landmark legislation through. So i think it looks really good for the midterms you know. These are good numbers. The white house is looking at these numbers. They are very happy with things are where things are. you know. joe you will also recall. that win. biden was running for president. He made it very clear. Getting back stated getting as many people vaccinated in america. is my number one goal. Getting people vaccinated stated equals getting the economy going and getting people back to work. So this is all intertwined. And i think again it bodes very well and it shows that what the biden policies they've enacted so far are actually good for america. And they're doing and they're actually doing their job. Well here's another one from the new york times brad. Stevens new pieces entitled china won't bury us either and he writes in part beijing's unconstrained behavior gives it the appearance of strength. It's a cliche that china's rise is unstoppable. Much as germany's supposedly was a little over a century ago. But appearances of strength tend to obscure realities of weakness hidden cracks behind imposing facades for beijing. The crack is that the regime is based on lying. How beijing's own apparatus of lies will eventually bring the system down. It's impossible to predict but there's little question that it profoundly enfeebles this system as a whole truth. In the form of accurate information is essential to good decision. Making truth in the form of political honesty is essential to the generating of social trust. That is the basis of healthy societies. china's regime. likes both. Jeez jingping may think that one day a disciplined and directed chinese system will bury an aimless unserious free world nikita khrushchev. Once had a similar thought something to remember in this time of western self-doubt john. I am stuck in the eighties this morning thinking back to the late eighties when there was one book after another talking about how japan was going to various hell all they had to do with hold their semiconductor chips and our nuclear weapons would aimlessly fall into the ocean. How they were going to turn the united states into nothing more than japan's granary. Within thirty years we've heard we constantly hear this. We're going to be destroyed by the soviet union. Then we're going to be destroyed by japan. We've heard for the past ten years. China is going to overtake us and relegate us to second class status on the world stage it's what we do we worry and are constantly thinking. There's somebody out there. That's about to overtake china. Yes very strong. China powerful but china to as brad stevens correctly points out has its challenges. Just as we do you know when you nigga was reading summary on the exit of thinking about the republican party and how synonymous with china in that and be reflected partisan by win. You're looking at brett to american democracy in american resilience since you're saying. They are intern as much. If not more the next term. And they're certainly laying. George w bush was in mediate eighty nine. He was reading all kennedy in the decline and fall of a great pout. Remember remember the central brett to democracy then was something called the deficit which is now again sort of off off our radar screen but there is a resilience and power to american democracy. In the american way of life i believe but it requires constant reform constant adjustment constant amendment and a commitment a common assent with two s.'s. To being honest with ourselves about the challenges we face the crop the solutions we wanted to pursued our problems. We can argue about the means all we want. What's different right now is that we seem to be in disagreement about e- ends the end of most folks on the center over to the left i believe is to is part of the coherent american tradition. You can disagree with it. But it's a recognizable tradition as currently constitute run. The people from the center of the right are not part of that conversation. They have opted out because of this interest in power over any kind of traditional american principal. And i think that's gonna be the great. The great threat is from within right now. You know gene in the past. I've i've talked when when there have been discussions about china talked about all the money they spend on internal security certainly doors anything that we have to spend. But what if we were six month anniversary of the fbi chasing down and investigating domestic terrorists. Who tried to take down the federal government. Who if you actually read the federal statute that talks about sedition and being part of a conspiracy to commit sedition hit lines up exactly with what we saw on january six that group of people who rioted and they were trying to stop a constitutionally required service from being performed by congress by the united states government that is sedition and for the first time since the civil war. We have the fbi working around the clock trying to find seditionists and bring them to justice. Said certainly is something new for us. That's absolutely right. Joe and nonetheless we have a congress can't agree or at least half of it. Can't support a full investigation into this. This active sedition act of insurrection That was unprecedented in in american history. It's just it's an amazing situation. I agree with you on that. The the threats to this country right now do come from within. I agree with him on what side they come from and and when we look at china and we look at the future. Guess let's keep in mind how it worked out for khrushchev and and how. It's worked out worked out for japan but also let's keep in mind that pass results are no guarantee of future performance That You know things don't happen until they happen. And so i. I am not convinced that the that the united states is at risk and not as as confident at stevens is because of this internal threat it's corrosive and and it's something that we have to deal with. If if if this is going to be another american century you know adrian. In june early june the united states senate did pass a bipartisan. Bill that that confronted some of the challenges coming from china economically. That was certainly a positive sign. The president signed that bill. He seemed to take the high road to a degree. That i think most former presidents while they were in office would not have taken in the face of such criticism. Is that joe. Biden's plan moving into the future. Regardless of the chaos. That's going on with a portion of the republican party. You think he's going to keep his head down and keep plowing ahead trying to get bipartisan legislation. I think he has to an extent. Joe but the bottom line is when you see anybody coming out of the white house talking about what his red line is. The number one ran. The line is inaction so he kind of an action on infrastructure on any of the policies that he's driving forward for the american people. That's his red line so if he has to get legislation passed without republicans he will do it. All right adrian. Elrod and jon meacham. Thank you both very much for being on this morning and still ahead on morning joe. It's been six months since the january. Six capital insurrection and the justice department is still searching for rioters.

Joe matt and confirmed yesterday that otani will both hit and pitch and next game at colorado's cores field. The only remaining questions are about the logistics of otani's appearance at the mid summer classic and whether the major league home run leader will start on the mound for the american league which would allow him to contribute both ways immediately as the pitcher and the designated hitter out to wimbledon now yesterday at the all england club was the last time. We'll see all sixteen. Women's and men's fourth-round singles matches scheduled on the same day eight time champs roger federer coming off a pair of knee operations last season and playing in his last grand slam tournament before turning. Forty is now the oldest wimbledon quarterfinalist in the open era as yesterday straight-set victory moves federer into his record extending eighteenth quarterfinal out the tournament.

I think i've saying how incredible and let's go the women's side seventeen year. Old american coco goths wimbledon run has ended in the fourth round again falling in straight sets against twenty eighteen champ. Angelique kerber quantum rocco's born to run. You know that's your favorite song now. Born to ri- the boss's daughter is heading to tokyo. Can you believe this. Jessica springsteen daughter bruce springsteen has been named as a member of the us olympic equestrian team the younger springsteen was an alternate writer for the two thousand twelve us team in london and didn't qualify for rio in two thousand sixteen. She now makes her olympic debut as a member of the jumping squad. The twenty nine year old began riding horses at four years old on her family's farm in new jersey she's ranked third on the us writer list and twenty seven th in the world. What do you think about that. A lot of nervous moments for for you and for any parents who children do this well. It's that's congratulations. So let's turn to. This morning's must treat opinion pages for that. We bring in pulitzer winning historian and rogers chair and the american presidency at vanderbilt university. Jon meacham and former chief of staff to the d triple c adrian elrod. She was senior rate to hillary clinton and the biden presidential campaigns. And we'll start with paul krugman's latest for the new york times entitled. It's morning in. Joe biden's america krugman writes in part this at this point. We have enough data in hand to declare that the economy is booming. In fact it's booming so strongly that republicans have pivoted from claiming falsely that we're experiencing the worst job performance in decades to loud the employment numbers in giving credit to trump's 2017 tax cut. The economy is running hotter than it did during the morning in america. Boom that gave ronald reagan a landslide victory in the nineteen ninety-four presidential election. We've gained three million jobs since biden took office or six hundred thousand jobs. A month this compares with gains of three hundred and forty thousand a month in the year leading up to one thousand nine hundred eighty four elections so yes. We are having another morning in america and by deserves more credit for his good morning than reagan ever did or his. Wow that is surprising conclusions. Jon meacham though. I you know whenever i hear the term morning in america the phrase. I always think back not to not to the landslide. Victory were reagan. One forty nine states but the year. Before when ronald reagan's popularity was upside down. He was when he gave a state of the union. He had a forty two percent approval rating in a fifty seven percent disapproval rating. Even going into the fall. John glenn was ahead of him by ten points. Mundell was ahead of him and matchups for the coming year right as as the primary season was starting to heat up so much can change in a year but right now the economy's does seem to be going in the right direction for joe biden. It is one greek question about this example that unites about is reagan could build to a victory of forty nine states. Talk buddy forty. Nine states residents will victory. Now it's as if we're talking about through modeling right. I mean it's just it's so remote. It's it's genuinely mathematically impossible No maybe not that bad. But it's culturally possible. And i think one of the things that throws back to is about the structural partisanship of the era of how many people in in our politics is going to turn on this question of the next five to ten years. How many people are actually movable by the kind of data the kind of facts that krugman writes about. You know whether you voted boerum or against him. Last time are are you as a as a participant in the american process. Are you willing to actually change your mind based on changing circumstance. Which by the way is what we were supposed to do. It was one of the inside so the founding wasn't reason would have a chance against passion. So i don't know what that number is. I don't know if it's five million amount of its ten million of the seventy four million people who voted for president but is a really interesting question. How many folks will actually be moved by back there. It really is. It's still surprising to me. Seventy five million. Americans voted for a guy who was calling for the arrest of his opponent two weeks before the there were so many other things that donald trump did as president that People would have run away from any previous time. But bid adrian. The does seem john's right The political world that we live in now is radically different than the political world. At least said i've grown up in ronald reagan elected twice by landslides. George h w bush elected by a landslide. Then the same people that elected reagan twice elected bill clinton twice those reagan. Democrats came home and helped elect reagan bill clinton twice then helped elect george w bush twice then helped elect barack obama twice. And by the way. Brian bob wasn't like he. He went in the squeaker. I think he's the first democrat to win with over a majority of votes two times since fdr the guy was rolling up tallies fifty three percent. There were massive shifts. These last two elections so people have seemed to have their political feet stuck in cement. Not a lot of crossover voters. Yeah i mean. I think joe meacham brings up a really smart point. Which is is this actually going to be what makes some you know. Republicans who have been you know. Maybe some who actually supported the insurrection. Or sam who have been with trump twice but it with them try twice. Is this going to actually swing them back our direction because not only is the economy. Good joe is you know. But joe biden has created more jobs in the first five months of his administration in the history of job creation in america so really great stats on his side. What does that mean for his reelection. Of course that's a couple years away..

Alex younger the former head of uk. Secret intelligence service and lie six has warned that the us withdrawal from afghanistan could bring a resurgence of al qaeda. An increased terror threats. He spoke exclusively with foreign affairs editor at sky. News deborah hanes. This is the danger. If a group like al qaeda has a haven in afghanistan to plot act of international terror the september the eleventh attacks on the united states prompted the us led invasion to combat the threat that twenty years on as american and british forces drawdown a former spy. Chief has warned al qaeda could rise again. There seems to be that capacity to organize in afghanistan is getting to go up. And we know from history. The risks of them what might happen addicts young recalled the uk and its allies found when they first entered afghanistan to hunt al-qaeda and oust the taliban regime that accommodated them we saw there was a was a level of terrorist infrastructure. Thank could only have been imagined before we go there training camps that would have been not out of place in. Oh so the conventional military all special forces barracks therefore cautioned against neglecting afghanistan as happened when a previous russian intervention ended in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine an enormous mistake for us to to do that again. The relatives they're all groups. We've been very successful in disrupting both dash and okada there on the back foot. But they would be wrong patiently to claim that they've gone away and they have the capacity to regenerate these militants linked to islamic state or daish surrendered to afghan forces in two thousand eighteen around two thousand remain at large while al qaeda wants significantly diminished has up to five hundred fighters in the country. So we're going to have to think very carefully in the absence of troops on the ground about how we deal with. That is funny to louis to make the mistakes that we made last time round. What would be the consequences if the west did turn back again. Well i think if if terrorist groups are allowed to regenerate someone like afghanistan it will be it will lead to more threats on shows of our country and our allies. It's a prospect. That's painful to contemplate for soldiers. Like andy left with mental and physical scars from the afghan service. One comfort was the belief they'd help to keep the streets of the uk safer now. Even that's in doubt norwich.

"Morning for me as brown start your day with msnbc daily at msnbc dot com. We try to make it very clear that there's obviously from all of the signs all the facts all the deductions we can make. There's no evidence that there is some sort of organized or widespread effort to defraud the election. We saw chaos confusion That only just heightened all of the attention and the misunderstandings that were going on this trust. And some i report really tries to express just the spiraling out of control. That happened there at times. And there's plenty of blame to point in both parties directions. But i just find it particularly troubling to me and it was saying that i really wanted to show in this report that maya party Some people within it. Some people representing it made this critical mistake in judgment and it caused more harm than good last month. The michigan senate oversight committee released a report on the twenty twenty election saying quote found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in michigan's prosecution of the twenty twenty election. The committee chaired by republican state. Senator ed mcbroom released the report after conducting nearly thirty hours of public hearings listening to testimony from eighty seven witnesses and reviewing more than four hundred pages of testimony former president. Donald trump called the report quote cover up and an attempt. To hide the truth. Staff writer at the atlantic tim. Alberta profiled senator mcbroom in his latest piece titled the senator who decided to tell the truth and tim joins us now along with national political reporter for axios jonathan swan. Good morning to both tim. You wrote this of committee chairman. Mick mcbroom quote. His committee interviewed scores of witnesses. Subpoenaed and review thousands of pages of documents dissected that procedural mechanics of michigan's highly decentralized election system and scrutinize the most traffic claims about corruption at the state's ballot box in november mcbroom conclusion hit lansing like a. It was all a bunch of nonsense. Mcbroom told you quote. I can't make people believe me. All i can hope is that people use their discernment and judgment to look at the facts. I've laid out for them and then look at these theories out there and ask the question. Does any of this make sense tim. It is such a fascinating and important piece Let's take a step back and talk about. Senator mcbroom himself who he is where he is on the political spectrum and why he thought it important to take these eight months to develop this report. Really you know it's interesting. This is a guy who has a lot of credibility with republicans with conservatives not only in his caucus but in his district up in the upper peninsula of michigan. He's a dairy farmer by trade. In fact he's still operates his family's one hundred old dairy farm. And this is a guy who's a conservatives conservative. He got into politics largely animated by the issue of abortion and wanting to protect farmers. And this is somebody who you voted for. Donald trump's who talk to me at length about how happy he was the policy outcomes of the trump administration. How worried he has been about the early days of the administration. So this is not something rhino. This is not somebody who's sort of soft and who's been attempting to undermine trump from within his own artists This is a guy at the same time though. Willingness who's really known as sort of a choirboy Literally he directs his church choir up in the upper peninsula and when you talk to republican colleagues of his. There was always a sense that that that anybody was going to really shoot straight on this issue and was going to pull punches and get to the bottom of this and then tell the truth no matter how inconvenient it may be than ed mcbroom was going to be that guy and for that reason. Frankly there was some nervousness when he took this investigation because a lot of republicans knew that he might not Broadcast exactly what they were hoping. I guess the question now is choirboy dairy farmer going to be censored by the party. Is he going to be driven from. The ranks is he. Going to be primary later. They're already protests against him for actually telling the plain and obvious truth that same truth. That william bar sad when he was asked to investigate these claims the same truth. That rudy giuliani was forced to say when he finally getting federal court and said no. You're honored this is not a fraud case the truth time and again that republicans win under oath and even trump's on attorneys had to tell judges. Now there's no widespread voter fraud. Is he going. Is he going to now get thrashed politically. for telling the truth. he'll he'll be thrashed politically. He's already beings rash politically starting his own district. This is a guy who represents a very conservative part of the state of michigan. And he's dealing with constituents and family friends people. He's known his entire life who are attacking him telling him that. He's been bought off by china that that he is in league with the deep state and frankly a century from his own party is sort of pretty low on his list of concerns. Right now. I mean well. We talked he. He was not in the direction of his rifle cabinet in his house. Talking to me about the calls in the middle of the night threatening his family. And so i don't know that this is a guy who's nearly as concerned about some of the political ramifications or in the abstract as he is about what might happen when the people who are so convinced that this election was stolen. And who believe that. There is an illegitimate democrat in office right now. They are approaching the brink of civil war. She and i talked about in the piece. He talked about people. He's encountering in his district who are talking about. It's time to rise up. It's it's it's time perhaps for a for a legitimate civil conflict. Here those are the things that that senator mcbroom talk to me about. That are really urgent for him. I don't know that he's terribly concerned about being stripped of some committee assignment or being punished by politicians in lansing because ultimately term limited have only be there for a couple more years anyway. He's much more worried about where this is taking all of us in the country in his community the people he knows who he feels like are perhaps lost permanently to these conspiracy. Yeah and they are conspiracy. Theories i mean i i get people sending me conspiracy theories from you. Know chinese colts and websites. That they've set up is really something. Jonathan swan though that whenever any of these lies are exposed to the light of day. They wither immediately. Giuliani held press conferences outside of federal court houses saying oh there's widespread fraud then they would go inside. Courthouses and giuliani would be asked by a judge. I mean specifically requesting the us district judge. Matthew brand giuliani admitted. This is not a fraud case. Trump lawyers saying the same thing this is an in arizona. Are you saying that. There's any fraud in connection to these disputed ballots to my knowledge at present. No said the lawyer. The lawsuit was was convinced. Time and again trump pr flax and giuliani would allege fraud. Outside course at courthouses they would go inside of courthouses and say no fraud your honor because they knew they couldn't lie in front of a federal judge and here you have somebody that's investigated this for months and months and again in the light of day these conspiracy claims that that russians and chinese.

"Used to watch attacks on america on september eleventh. The same thing clear could be asked again about iraq. Would it have been worth it for us to keep twenty five three thousand four thousand troops in iraq to prevent the rise of isis. Should we have left. Twenty five hundred three thousand troops in syria to continue to hold up our kurdish allies and pushback turkey. Push back isis pushback. Putin pushback assad and pushback iran as those three thousand. Four thousand troops were doing. This is not a leading question but this is just. This is a question to ask if america is not capable of doing that. What exactly are we capable of doing. Well this is an first of all. Let me say very clearly. The men and women who had served in afghanistan. I was honored to be able to go there and tell them in person that they had done an amazing job under the most difficult of circumstances. And there's good news bad news about our military our military that can do military. You give our military mission. And you know what they're going to go try to execute that mission and they are not going to ever say we can't do it so of course. They always took the posture. We need to stay. We need to do this. This is important. But i could make an argument job but there are a lot of countries around the globe that need those three four five thousand troops not just iraq not just afghanistan. Not i mean look look at yemen and obviously syria at all of these countries. Where you have terrible internal problems and i guess it comes down to a decision. Are we going to be the boots on the ground to police internal conflicts in countries around the globe. I say the answer is yes. It's very clear it's serving our interest. I just don't think it's as clear right now that all those afghans are really serving our interests having this conversation two months ahead of the twentieth anniversary of nine eleven which prompted us troops to go into afghanistan in the first place. We'll continue to talk about this this morning. Also ahead on morning joe. The latest on the continued search for survivors after last week's condominium collapse in south florida and president biden's message to families impacted by the tragedy plus some concerning new numbers from the cdc.

"As i mentioned this is a this is a real milestone ballroom. Has been the almost the hallmark of us military presence in afghanistan for these last twenty years. It's where it's been one of the largest if not the largest space it's been a relatively safe airfield. It's the fact that the us turned it over to afghanistan. It really shows that this is the close to the very very close to the end of the us military presence there in afghanistan. All right courtney kuby thank you so much we appreciate your reporting gene robinson. This is obviously a move. That's unpopular with many in the pentagon unpopular with. I would say the majority of the us foreign policy establishment. They're rising fears of civil war in afghanistan rising fears of an ultimate taliban takeover. But this is something that if you read the tea leads. Joe biden was ready to get out of afghanistan a long time ago. He opposed barack obama's surge about a decade ago This was regardless of what the general s- thought. This seemed inevitable. I i mean you can. You can imagine that if we had waited another five years or another ten years to take the step we'd be having the same discussion and the same fears The because the taliban is still there right. They live there. They're going to be there. They're always going to be a presence in In afghanistan or at least for the foreseeable future and it is I think we're going step back At some point i am. We're going to look and we're going to say what did what did we accomplish in afghanistan. But what did we actually do. We manage to to to slide a regime that had harboured al-qaeda remember that's why we went in there in the first place and and the and the people had harboured the people plan nine eleven And we did that with relative dispatch and then the the remaining nineteen years of our our involvement. There i. maybe. I'm just kind of looking at the glass half empty this morning but but one does wonder. What did we actually accomplish. What did our blood and treasure actually purchase and afghanistan. And that's not. That's not an easy answer. i don't have an easy so gene. Let me just follow up on that briefly. It's a great question a question that many people are asking. It's something we could've asked when we left iraq and when we left iraq overnight of course we saw exactly what we were accomplishing their. We've been in germany since nineteen forty five following world war two. We've been in korea since one thousand nine hundred fifty to stop the north from invading the south and keep that democracy intact. I guess the question that joe vines going to have to answer. And policymakers left to answer is. Are they responsible for what comes next. When four thousand five thousand troops may have prevented mass chaos in afghanistan. Well you know. That's i think that's that's a good question on the other hand It's hard to compare afghanistan with germany or japan or south korea with societies that That that did develop into work early. democracies that participated in in in on the world stage in a responsible way That that that managed to to govern their spaces there within their borders in a in an effective way And and so yes we the. Us presence i think was was certainly a factor in that but the us presence more To to guard against potential threats rather than to nation build the nation building in in germany japan and and correa are you believe is really really successful. The nation building in afghanistan which we never really wanted to acknowledge that we were trying to do and therefore never really tried to do all out was not successful. And i don't think we built a successful state. That's going to be another germany. Another japan another career. Claire mccaskill one thing we can say is that american troops men and women who bravely gone over. There have prevented another attack on american soil over the last twenty years so we should point that out. You're united states. Senator for twelve years during the height of this war in afghanistan in terms of what comes next. We're already seeing it. The taliban is retaking ground. They carried out that school bombing. And may that killed eighty five people in west kabul. So that's a preview of what is coming here. What are your feelings. What are your thoughts. What's your position on this withdrawal as we watch it. Take place overnight at bagaram. Well it was inevitable if you think about the country of afghanistan. Let me pick up. Where jean left off the the reason that the nation building and primarily the the billions and billions and billions of dollars. We have spin in afghanistan. Not only do we try to rebuild their infrastructure we also tried to install instill rule of law to train police officers to train their military and what people need to understand that unlike japan and germany and south korea. This is a country that really didn't have any gdp if it wasn't for our money. This is not a wealthy country. This is a country that is not rich with natural resources or a strong education system. This is not a country that was ever prepared to stand on its own without america propping it up so this is going to be some. There's gonna be some bloodshed. Of course there will be civil strife between the factions within afghanistan. I think the military strongest argument over the years about staying there was really as much about pakistan is it was about afghanistan. People need to remember. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and pakistan is You know there is. There are elements of the taliban and other bad guys that have migrated into pakistan. So this is always going to be a sticky wicket in terms of this part of the world because the factionalization very strong religious beliefs in the middle east. But i always said we have wasted. Just a ton of money in afghanistan trying to do something that the military just didn't want to admit they couldn't do. We'll see i guess this is again. And we're we're all going to have differences of opinion here but i think the men and women that served over there did great things over the past twenty years and sacrificed greatly and they prevented another attack on the united states. That's why we went in there in the first place. They did the best they can do with a country. That is dexter filkins. Sold as well over a decade ago was many parts of it. Seemed like it was still stuck in the second century. And guess the question is and this is a question for foreign policy. Experts and for for advisers to presidents to debate and members in the senate and the house debate but is the united states capable of keeping twenty five hundred three thousand four thousand troops in afghanistan if that prevents a complete meltdown of a country. That was actually used to watch attacks on america on september eleventh. The same thing clear could be asked again about iraq. Would it have been worth it.

"Twenty eight past the hour beautiful shot from the top of the rock in new york city as the sun comes up on this wednesday morning or already thursday the chaotic race. It's thursday for new york city. Mayor took another turn yesterday. One day after the city's board of elections released and then rescinded new results in the democratic primary contest. New numbers show former city sanitation. Commissioner catherine garcia who is behind by thirteen points previously now trailing former police captor captain. Eric adams by just two points. These numbers are largely in line with the fall to results released on tuesday the b. o. a. b. o. e. later called the mishap to quote unacceptable error when one hundred and thirty five thousand test votes that were meant to be cleared from its system were reported in the vote count. This prompted a lawsuit from the atoms campaign. yesterday it announced it is petitioning. The court to quote preserve our right to a fair election process. More than one hundred twenty thousand. Absentee ballots. Still remain unaccounted for as the city uses a ranked choice voting system for the first time. What a mess here. Now with more in that city hall and politics reporter for wnyc. Bridget bergen and bridget. I could see how the candidates would be getting pretty stressed out at this point wanting the numbers to be counted and counted right and the people of new york as well absolutely. Mika i mean i think one of the most important things when we look at those tallies though to remember is that these are just interim results. The results that were released this week. Were never intended to be the final results and while the error made by the board of elections was egregious and is understandable that it would shake the confidence voters and the candidates. The good thing is that they identified it before it was part of any additional tallies or certainly any certification process. The other part to remember is while the race has narrowed significantly with eric adams with only a two point lead over catherine garcia maya wiley. The tally says eliminated. She was only behind catherine garcia by about three hundred forty seven votes and as you said there were one hundred. Twenty thousand outstanding absentee ballots. That are not included in that tally and so we are very fair to say that this race is still wide open still being that still very much alive and even those lawsuits while that is something that procedurally candidates do rather routinely. It's a product of new york state election law. They have to file these orders in order to protect the right to challenge any ballots within ten days of the primary. So that would be to friday and so these are preempted actions. But they don't necessarily speak to anything that has happened so far. It just guarantees that these candidates have a right when they are canvassing. These absentee ballots to raise objections. And had they not smith those orders. They wouldn't be able to do that. Bridget as you said my wiley is not going to drop out of the race. And why on earth would she. If you have garcia trailing by only two percents eric adams and then my wallet trailing badly three hundred forty seven votes with one hundred and twenty thousand absentee out there so as this process worked. How could my widely be declared eliminated. Well what they were doing was giving us our first look at what the ranked tallies looked like and so just to be clear on primary night we saw a snapshot of how voters identified their first choice votes. This was the first time we saw when they took into account people second through fifth choice votes and showed us the tallies using this ranked choice algorithm. And so this again. It's a snapshot we have additional votes. That need to factor into this total. One of the things is looking at. Where some of these absentee ballots are coming from if you were to try and do a little bit of a game analysis. A lot of these absentee ballots are from manhattan. That's where catherine garcia won the largest share of the votes however there are also votes coming in obviously from all five boroughs. I think one of the things will be watching is as we see the next tally which is expected on next tuesday july sixth. How much do these numbers change. Because the one thing that is certain is that these numbers will change. Virgin and richard haass the company who manages the software used in the election tells. Nbc news at the board of elections repeatedly denied it's offers of assistance according to the ranked choice voting resource center the b. o. e. refused to accept training education. A blind review and an offer to run parallel tabulation for the primary company says it continued to reach out via email phone calls and even an in person visit but those efforts were ignored. Abo spokesperson told nbc news. That's board of elections quote. The software was not the issue. Adding the problem was human error. I don't know what makes me feel better. Richard haass up. What do you make of this thing should make you feel better about this. This is incompetence on steroids. This is corruption on strikes. The people on this committee of the board of elections should not be there. These are political hacks who are totally unqualified to oversee anything. They should be overseeing their breakfasts. Then you have this. Why in the world is the board of elections releasing these results which are meaningless. Until you've counted the absentee ballots. How can you possibly release Votes or numbers about Ranked choice voting. The they have no meaning. They have no no standing. This is a deeply flawed system. Unfortunately it's going to be extraordinarily hard to fix. It's not in the purview of the next mayor or the governor. But this this this michael kinsley once said what scandalous is what's legal. This is a scandal for the people of your and it's not going to make life easy but the next mayor who quite possibly is going to begin with some kinds of cloud and brigid. This is not of course. The first time it'd be away has publicly displayed it's incompetence you can go back through the last several elections and find problems there but you know ranked choice voting has its proponents. Is this the end of ranked choice voting in new york city. Perhaps based on how this has been rolled out and just basically on how long it's going to take even under the best of circumstances to determine a mayor. Well again i think is not going to be the end of ranked voting because this is a voter-approved ballot referendum and so to end it would require voters approving an initiative to repeal it. There is propose legislation to do that. But i think we're a long way from that point. Certainly there will be a very critical review from lawmakers the local and state level about how this election was run and to what degree rules need to change to account for ranked voting as part of the process. But in terms of the timing. I mean it is important to remember that the timing here in terms of getting the full. Incomplete results is a product of state election law. It is a product of win. The board of elections is allowed to count absentee ballots. There is a push to end legislation. That has been passed at the state level. That would allow for absentee ballots to be counted sooner. And that could help speed up this process but again at this point it's not really the ranked choice voting tally that slowing things down. It's the rules around how we conduct elections the way. We mail out ballots when we're allowed to count them. That is really. What is hard of this slowing up. This process. All right city hall and politics reporter for wnyc bridget.

This is really going to continue. I was on long island this weekend. visiting really dear friend and i was really disturbed. I saw you know. Dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with explicit is against joe biden on the back of them trump lives and some cases just dozens of american flags which is also just disturbing because essentially the message was clear was. This is my country. This is not your country. I own this and so until we're ready to have that conversation. This is going to continue. What really is concerning to me. As well as it's it's not just democrats in congress. i think there's a large percentage of americans even some of my colleagues in journalism who are invested in some way in pretending that this isn't the better it is that is the real concern because the trump voters who are not going to get on board with democracy. They're a minority. You can marginalize them long term but if we don't take the threat seriously that i think we're all in really bad shape totally agree mara gaye and tom nichols.
