The Breakdown
For Crypto, The Partisan Ship Has Sailed
"All right Friends, it has been an extremely active couple of days in the politics of Bitcoin and crypto. First of all, Brad Sherman has just been all over the place talking about how we're all sub human tax evaders and how the U.S. should really be asking whether this industry should be allowed to exist at all. Here's a recent clip from him on Bloomberg crypto. There's this fear of missing out that we've got to keep up with other countries. Peru is way ahead of us and cocaine production, China's way ahead of us in Oregon harvesting. We don't need to keep up on those things and we don't need to keep up on crypto. As for protecting U.S. investors, investors know and they certainly know now that when you send your money to The Bahamas or Cayman Islands, you do not have protection, you could lose it all. And the idea that we should tell investors that something's licensed in the United States when it's not only as dangerous for the investors is crypto is, but as harmful to our country as crypto tries to be, I don't see a reason to do that. At the end of the day, though, Brad Sherman is going to shrm. So no surprises there. A bigger deal was on Tuesday, may 9th. The official Biden potus account tweeted, we don't have to guess what maga House Republicans value, they're telling us. Now that quote led to an image which said, we think Congress should cut, tax loopholes that help wealthy crypto investors, 18 billion. Now one kind of enjoyable thing about this was that people use Twitter's new note feature to add some context that they thought people might want to know. Quote, virtual currency is treated as property and general tax principles applicable to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency. When investors sell virtual currency, they must pay tax on any capital gain. There is no evidence of loopholes to avoid this. I think that the particular language used here by the presidential account is revealing. First of all, it shows Democrats getting more comfortable lumping crypto in as explicitly a partisan category.

The Concessions Made by Kevin McCarthy for House Speakership
"What we're looking at. These are the concessions that conservatives got out of McCarthy. First of all, it includes a rule that now says any move to raise the debt ceiling has to be accompanied by spending cuts. I think this is a brilliant move. In other words, you're going to raise the debt ceiling. Well, okay, what are we going to cut here? You got to take away money from the drag queens and Peru. The rule package also includes a resolution establishing a House select committee on the weaponization of the federal government, which we just explained to you. McCarthy, and by the way, this is from axios, McCarthy also agreed to vote individually on 12 appropriation bills rather than one giant omnibus spending bill. Huge, huge. The package also reinstates the Holman rule, which lets lawmakers amend appropriations legislation and reduce the salary of government officials. Huge again. It also gives lawmakers 72 hours to review bills before they come before the House. The rule also includes votes on bills related to key sticking points for conservative lawmakers, including the border. And by the way, they're also going to be tackling term limits, and that is a question I have for you.

"Peru's president has been impeached and arrested, following a coup attempt by Sonia Mansour. Peruvian president Pedro Castillo sparked fears of a coup Wednesday after temporarily dissolving Congress just hours ahead of an impeachment vote. But his efforts to stay in power quickly fell apart as lawmakers swiftly voted 101 to 6 to remove Castillo and replace him with vice president Dina boulevarde. She is the 6th leader of the politically tumultuous country since 2018. Peru Alex presidents for one 5 year term at a time. While politicians can be reelected later in their careers, they can not serve consecutive terms. Castillo's presidential term began last July. He was elected without any governing experience and faced numerous corruption allegations throughout his tenure. Here's everything you need to know about Castillo's attempt to stay in power. How did Castillo attempt a coup? On Wednesday, Castillo called for new legislative elections. In addition to imposing a national curfew, we have taken the decision to establish a government of exception to reestablish the rule of law and democracy to which affect the following measures are dictated to dissolve Congress temporarily to install a government of exceptional emergency. To call to the shortest term possible to elections for a new Congress with the ability to draft a new constitution, Castillo said, according to The New York Times. But he lacked support among key cabinet members and law enforcement, prompting mass resignations. He was an inexperienced, unpopular inept, politically isolated president, and those are conditions under which coups are guaranteed to fail. Says Stephen levitsky, a Professor of Latin American studies at Harvard University. This marks the latest instance of a Peruvian leader who has plunged the country into a political crisis in an attempt to hold on to their power. Former president Martin vizcarra also dissolved Congress in 2019 before calling for new elections. Lawmakers removed him from power, the following year. Who was opposed to Castillo's move. Lawmakers removed Castillo from office as a result of permanent moral incapacity. This was their third attempt to remove him from power. The vote came about following new corruption allegations. The head of Peru's army and foreign ministers promptly resigned in response to Castillo's announcement. I strongly condemned this coup d'etat, and call on the international community to assist in the democratic reestablishment of democracy in Peru. Foreign minister Cesar Landa, who was among those who resigned en masse from the cabinet, said on Twitter. Castillo took this decision without my knowledge or support. Peru's armed forces and police also wrote in a statement that they rejected Castillo's call to dissolve Congress. The ombudsman's office labeled Castillo's actions as a coup demanded his immediate resignation and requested that he turned himself into judicial authorities. Mister Castillo must remember that he was not only elected president of the republic, but also that the people elected representatives for public service. The ombudsman's statement said, per The Associated Press. Castillo's actions ignore the will of the people and are invalid. What happens now? Boulevarde will now take Castillo's place as president. She was sworn in on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the first woman to serve as Peru's president. It's unclear how long she may stay in power. While Hulu Arte won't necessarily be seen as an extension of Castillo, she has remained somewhat distant from him. Opponents may still view her as a leftist and communist, according to levitsky. It's not hard to imagine them turning against her as well, he says. Castillo has since been arrested. What controversies has Castillo faced throughout his political career. Castillo rose up the political ranks from humble beginnings, working in a poor farming community and later as a school teacher and union activist. He was elected to the presidency without any governing experience. His tenure has been marred by corruption allegations. He just carried out old fashioned petty, stupid corruption. He gave out contracts and favors to your old friends and family, levitsky says. Federal prosecutors are investigating half a dozen cases against him, many of them alleging corruption. He has denied the charges. Castillo has been accused by top prosecutors of using his power to profit off government contracts and leading a criminal organization in the ministry of transport and communications. To levitsky, Castillo's call to dissolve Congress reinforced both his incompetence as a ruler and the resilience of Peruvian democracy. The president tried to kill Peruvian democracy and Peruvian democracy survived. For all of its flaws, democracy, persists..

Bill Federer Shares the Story of Squanto
"One of the stories that we have to include is squanto. And if I have a few minutes, I'd be happy to share that. Continue. So the pilgrims were religious, but there were other groups that weren't and they were pirates. So Spain had a monopoly on the new world for at least a century, and they had gold from Inca Peru and portobello Panama and they take it to Cuba and ship it and these Dutch and French and English pirates would raid the gold, but they would also sail up the coast of North America. Lure unsuspecting Indians on board, lock them below deck, take them over to malaga, Spain and sell them into slavery. So one of the Indians that was captured was squanto and the story is he was purchased by some monks in Spain who gave him his freedom. He hitchhikes his way across Europe, gets to England. He's there for a dozen years working, learning the language and the family finds some business that takes him to Newfoundland, right? A fishing type outfit. And then he gets the boat to drop him off at Plymouth, Massachusetts, only to find his whole tribe is dead. They were wiped out by a plague, William Bradford writes that three years earlier, a French ship was shipwrecked off the case, the coast of Cape Cod. Sailors got ashore, Indians never left watching them and bogging them, till they got the advantage killed them all, but three or four maybe sport with them worse than slaves. Anyway, one of those French men must have had an illness and the Indians didn't have immunity and it wipes out the tribe. So sort of in a reverse sense had squanto not been captured in kidnapped. He most certainly would have died. But squanto is living with the neighboring wampanoag tribe and then that fall is when the pilgrims show up. Half of the pilgrims die the first winner. They wouldn't have survived another year. Spring of 1621, walking into their camp is squanto. And you can just picture the conversation. I mean, he's in his loincloth and he goes up and he goes, oh yeah, you guys from London, I used to live there. You know, oh yeah, the pump down on war street or St. Paul's chapel. He goes, oh, yeah, yeah, I know that place. And then he says, oh, this place here, I grew up here. I know this place like the back of my hand over that hill is a spring. And William Bradford says he taught him how to catch fish. He said, you know, that they weren't successful, but he says, don't use salmon. They spawn this river. It's going to be packed. And then he taught him how to plant corn. They said, we tried it. He goes, no, you got to dig a hole, put some fish in, then put the kernel of corn and cover it up. The fish decompose fertilizes the soil. You have a nice harvest. Bottom how to take the corn and put it in a pot, shake it and make popcorn, right? And then he taught him how to go down to the riverbank squeegee in the mud and catch eels and clams and lobsters and then how to catch beaver skins. It took 40 years worth of beaver skins to pay off their debt for the boat ride,

They uses -ciary system to travel because she is under investigation. She was in prison for fifteen months just before she started running so is very bizarre and and actually her party is labeled by by the prosecutor assad criminal organization and she was also the first lady when her father west comedian. Horrible crimes like forcibly sterilizing thousands of indigenous women in peru when he hired like death squads to kill indigenous people so she was part of that government as well so she has no respect for me and from a lot of people in peru but nevertheless she is still a very important fieger. And there's a legacy. I mean the fujimori name has. There's a legacy here and i guess the question and what you're saying because but who has gone through so many presidents recently like is gusty. Joel like the next target here. Like what is there. A strategy here is or is pedal. Like i know there were protests and the cova. You know the pandemic do you feel in your opinion looking at where peruvian society is right now are they even gonna put up with this the end or is going to be just the next target here. Then there's a new president in a year. Yeah this is what derive win forces are discussing right now. They want to start a process of impeachment against castille. They tried to flip the results and call for new elections in the past few weeks. They couldn't do it and now they have said publicly that they want to start impeachment process to overthrow casteel. This process was used in november last year to oust the former president and to impose the factor precedent that fortunately was oust later because of process on the streets but this has become a horrible strategy. That the rye wind forces are using to get rid of those precedents that they don't want because of course they threatening their interests so yeah it's it's various scary in as i said before we need peru needs a lot of international solidarity in order to these government that has offered to registry income and wealth to survive so the last question then does gusty joe have actual allies in federal and are those allies strong enough to fight the elites in the right wing. I guess politically. It's this is the big question. Yeah yeah it is it is. It is very important because even though castio has allies in congress and there are other parties that are supporting casteel it is true that parole has been captured in the last thirty years by righwing forces by companies by the elite so there are many structures that are gonna be very difficult to transform. This is as i said are re complete revolution of what we have seen. So i think he has support but he definitely needs to strengthen the support in the streets. He has to strengthen ek strengthening his basis in order to govern otherwise these righwing forces that have all the economic power will really succeeding feeding him. Francisca im- unwary.

He didn't earn the support of the traditional left in pedal during this wasn't like the leftist candidate there was like right. I mean from what i understand. Can you kinda give more of his context of his appeal even in the kuban pandemic because because all of a sudden he won yes so in peru. We have iran off so in the first election. The for ran of the election. I run since they were eighteen candidates so that traditional left supported candidate call madani mendosa who has Leftist candidate as well but she is more traditional in any peru.

And this as you said his historical never before a casino a peasant. I ruled schoolteacher. A union leader has become the president of peru so casteel also defeated the right wing forces that tried to overturn electoral results that gave casteel dispensary. This is what happened in in the past few weeks so this righ-wing forces including the leads us donald trump's playbook they opposition candidate. Her name is geico for giamatti daughter of former dictator. Fujimori cried fraud with no basis with no evidence in fortunately after a big legal fide more than a month after the elections to place. Castilla was proclaimed precedent earned. From what i understand. I mean gusty people say like oh he's just coming out of nowhere. I mean he does have some political experience right. He organized in education. From what i read right. I mean he didn't just literally come from the air. You know what. I mean like he. He has been involved in some form of organizing in the past correct. Yeah that's correct so casteel was the leader of a teachers strike in two thousand seventeen. Nevertheless it's true that his victory wasn't inspected by deleting peru and of course the righ-wing is not satisfied. And they they still want to get rid of castilla. Say try to during the past few weeks so casteel socialist and he keeps also has indigenous origins so peru's extremely racist country ran as i said historically by the elite school leaf in the capital city in that are mostly white.

I say all the people that can let me just try to learn Three or four ways to say hello to people in the local language in spain. We're very fortunate. We are multi cultural country and we have four official languages in spain. I always say when. I'm teaching that you can go to a sandwich. Shop in madrid is the a menu with four languages on it and they're all spanish languages. Yeah and one of them would be catalog hotline we have the past can also the collision especially in barcelona. If you just say bon deer which is good morning in catalonia believe it or not instead of saying oh good money just assume that they were going to understand your board. It kind sounds a little bit rude okay but if you say bondi And then you start speaking. If you can a few more words that would be perfect. You have no idea how many doors that open and that is particularly helpful in the city like barcelona that is getting tired of the noisy tourists that good morning death whereas my coke right you can go. Local no a few local words used the local tempo Observe a cultural chameleon here. And you're gonna drink and eat catholism and opens a lot of doors and you might get a little bit of extra attention from the attendant behind the counter. What is that distinctly catalan dish. That you'll have when you go to a bar and you have the tapas a top. I could have any of them. You know but the when. I say this to the people that say oh but anchovies trying to injuries in barcelona and should we seem spain. There nothing to do with the answer that you know here in this side of the pond because we take up the job i agree. It's all little and also the they have depression. Should we thought there'd be eighteen vinegar for a few hours and they are cute also entries as well and talking about the vermouth. Forty-five wine and normally is not like drinking wine with a meal is just drink it as an appetizer whether it is for lunch or dinner in bars. They'll they'll at these bars that are trendy as vermouth bars. And they have some beautiful appetizers out there in the wonderful vermouth beautiful atmosphere. It's kind of israel that's right and not even in the touristy areas in Goofy section by the cottage rather mar-. You know there is one very very famous in there. They have been there now. I think for about one hundred twenty years the same family running the business. And also i want to if you allow me to tell that there is a little Drink in catalonia. That not everybody knows which is not champagne you know covered is the spanish is the same process. They have to change the name for legal reasons to the people that live in champagne. Don't want it to call champ. Except for how that and don't it's the same thing but cut cover and the drink is a fifty wine which is halfway between regular wine and cover and the champagne it with an x at the beginning champagne chopinet and there are many many local parts of glass of that is about one fifty two euros.

"American-born. Linda linda fell in love with the country and eventually with a well known johnny's artists. She writes about her life in bhutan in two books field guide to happiness and married to bhutan. How one woman got lost and found bliss. linda. Thanks for being here. Thank you so your book on the coverage says and found bliss. How did you find bliss. I fell in love with the place and the people. And i guess subsequently my husband gay. I was just bowled over by the beauty of the place and how the people just lived and went about their daily life slowly deliberately. I was really just willing to do just about anything to to stay there. I convinced the government to let me go and teach english. I was a little bit of a washout as an english teacher. But i did. Learn their language learned lanka as a result but And then three years. After i was there i married a co worker and it was the first marriage for both of us and i don't know i can't say every moment has been police but we're pretty happy in your book. You talk about me talk about your relationship with non gay and you also talk about your relationship with the country and it's sort of kissed being there is is something that is just something special about it's it's it's this. Surreal high altitude world. You talk about walking above the tree line in the morning when when a herd of yacar or in the middle east and Do you remember that yearbook talked about walking distance. Kind of with these ghostly. React around you and you're just a greeting new day. Take us on that little walk. Yes well When you're walking among a herd of vip it's really important to look down a lot but you know frankly. I don't recommend walking among yak. Because they're really big and they're really. I don't think they're like super bright. I don't really trust them but it is just an amazing experience in bhutan. It's just I don't know. I guess as a writer and as a i know somebody who was interested in different ways of being you can hardly get any more different than the life in bhutan and life in the united states. Both are great but One thing that i really like about bhutan is i like myself better in bhutan. It's really easy to be nice. They're they're buddhist. They're not really mad at anybody And i did realize You know my teaching experience aside with just a little bit of effort you can affect change and even if you just visit there you can The boonies are very interested in a in the absorb a lot. I guess because it's a tiny country they have to be outward-looking so they really pay attention. If you go there they'll study you. They'll they'll figure you you know you mentioned in your book and america's becoming bhutani is humbling is like you. You make a fool out of yourself and figure it out yes. Tell us a little bit about this. Cross cultural living. If you marry into a culture you have to be prepared to get laughed at and maybe not in a malicious way but people will You'll do things pretty much on a daily basis if not an hourly basis that are different and quirky and You know. Oh gosh. When i first married non gate a twenty years ago. We were living in the flat in place nearer the school where we both taught and the kids would literally line up in front of the place would just a watch me come down in the morning you know and and make my little walk to school. There were so intrigued by me now. They've seen more westerners but it really was It was something kind of to cope with. If you move to a new culture. I feel like you have to adapt and you have to go more than halfway. I guess you'd as my husband if you know. He thinks i go more than half way. But i do think you have to You know food everything everything you do. You have to kind of adapt to through. What was the biggest adjustment for you as a as an american trying to fit the bhutanese tempo of life sitting down and shutting up. I mean i guess. That's pretty kind of crudely but just not talking so much. The buddhists believed that if utah you know just in the united states you know to be polite you talk about the weather you know you say hello you. You strike up a conversation but it's opposite in bhutan. You don't talk if you don't have anything to say so there's a lot of silent. It sounds like you use buddhist and bhutanese almost interchangeably visit bhutan. Or is it buddhism. That is so unique and attractive to you. I think you can't talk about bhutan without talking about buddhism and they. I think you're absolutely right. They're almost interchangeable. It is a buddhist country and it's so much of who they are. It's kind of it. Permeates the place. You know you kind of can't help but pick up a lot of the philosophy help but don't hurt. Its who they are. So part of it is living. In the moment. I would imagine not having a watch I remember when. I was one of the most wonderful experiences when i was in. Nepal was just not wearing my watch and for days. I had no need for a watch and then i remember one day in in katmandu. Hadn't appointment somewhere and it really. It really burdened me. My whole my whole day was messed up. Because i had an appointment somewhere and that was just fascinating. That's so true. I mean living in the moment being in bhutan. Even if you come as a a guest it really does sort of force you to live in the moment because everybody else's living in the moment for not big planners that's another thing as an american we plan everything and that's quite nice but it's also nice to kind of let it go and not plan everything and i think you're really picking up on on the major points of the difference between bhutan in here. This is traveled to exterior. We're talking with linda leeming. She was born in tennessee but now lives in bhutan country. That's rich with natural. Beauty sometimes called the happiest place on earth than the move there to teach english and to get out of the rat race. Her latest book is married to bhutan. How one woman got lost said. I do and found bliss. And she's sharing her adventures to putin's customs right now on travel with rick steves. So linda you married nam gay and tell us just Quickly how you relationship Started and how grew and and some of the challenges. We were coworkers we it. The the brittany's names zoric chosen the school of thirteen arts. He's a painter a traditional taco painter. He paints buddhist iconography buddha's and clouds and trees. I was in english. I was the english teacher there and we became friends. We taught each other english in songa. And i guess. The relationship sort of blossomed after a year or so and we got married. Actually it's A little more detail in the book but like this is radio so And it was really really kind of kind of a victorian courtship of so lovely. Actually it was at least try super shy. He's still is and so. I guess there was a bit of a language barrier. To tell you the truth. His english was kind of wonky. And my czanka wasn't much. But i think that really kind of saved us because if we couldn't talk about it if it wasn't body parts or food or something household we really didn't have much to.

"Is. There is an preambule thing that you do. You give us a quick rundown on the different indigenous groups that will encounter were in peru. Oh my they're the two strongest groups are the keturah and the i mata and the catch was speakers in the matter speakers. they have different languages. There are many many different indigenous languages in in peru and quite a few in the jungle as well. They're tribes that their own languages their own cultures but the two main ones are the keturah. Any i matter and you can even see the difference in physically. The keturah are sort of they have a sharper features. The i bought a round rounder faces. You can actually see the physical difference the the catcher who lived in the mountains for so long. Have these wonderful sort of developed chests in the way that an opera singer does because their lungs operate differently and and you can really tell the difference between the indigenous people or they're just Diesels live on the shore. And those who live in the mountains but just by virtue of their chests. So those would be. I would imagine the two big indigenous groups and then you've got afro peruvian along the coast and you've got a lot of europeans probably in the big cities right exactly right. And the africans are on the on the costa and historically all over latin america on the coast because the spanish colonial powers understood very quickly that people could not work in the fields in the way that they wanted someone to work on the sugar plantations and the moon plantations the coffee plantations because they couldn't stand the heat and the field work so they sent the Indigenous up into the mountains to do the mining so the africans who were very. You're used to the hot weather and to feel work. Were kept along the shores. So that is you know. History created that distinction. This is travel with brick. Steve's we're talking with marie arana about the people of peru her homeland. Her book is silver sword and stone. Three crucibles in the latin american story. We we're just about done with our visit to peru with you but as our tour guide. What would you do to broaden the itinerary beyond visiting much. Up to be sure we get a a nice representative experience in peru. Well i would. I would definitely say and this has always been a puzzlement to me. Because for so many years People would come to peru with they would just completely neglect lemon. And hop over to kuske. Oh and feature which are indeed beautiful. Who's co is just a wonderful historic city and is just a fabulous natural wonder but skip over over lima or through. He'll or a deepa. And i have to tell you that within the last fifteen years or twenty years the peru has become a capital of culinary arts the cuisine of peru which is a fusion of indigenous and afro peruvians and chinese and asians. We have a lot of japanese and chinese and european culture and that fusion of food is so popular and so it's very special very special kind of food and you will find that in the cities where you will not find it in the in the beautiful mountains necessarilly and you know how to keep by his Intellectual center it has a wonderful university has always been a place where you know the smart people were. We've been talking with marie arana. Her book is silver sword and stone three crucibles than the latin american story. We it's been so nice talking with you.

I mean they've caught it that morning. That's the reason why you have to eat it for lunch. They catch it that morning off the coast of lima. And it's cooked in in lemon and lime and it is absolutely divine. You know this is in. Lima are absolutely fabulous. That's where we go right away to say we're home now. we're here.

If i don't but on the other hand it's also like my memoir is a very different thing this project that i'm doing now and i write because it really helps who makes sense of my life writing the short stories about things that happen to me in childhood but really writing them and going over them with editors and honing the words makes me understand by life better and other the other people in my life. Why certain things happen. What was the meaning of something happen. How did that change my life in a certain way. What had lots of when you're a kid. You don't really know how you feel. You have a lot of feelings but you can't really explain them so when you looking back and writing a memoir about your life as a kid you really able to look at those feelings much more deeply and realized how they changed you as a person and it's important helps you for me it helps me Feel more okay with everything that has happened in my life. Good or bad. You know i get you and if you were the richest precedent on this planet and money was never an issue to you. Your bill gates shoes. What would you do every single day of your life.

That's what i do for a living And i would also keep on working on my architecture and design thing which is also something.

I used to be a preschool teacher and taught kids a ges Agents about four to seven. And every day i would we have you know how you have circle time and the kids sit around and the teacher talks or whatever so i would just tell them a story and i would make up a story every day and i would include all the kids in the store and they would be characters in the story. That's fourteen kids so it was a work but it was great creative exercise for me to do every day and the kids loved it would sit. There will be a. Why is their classroom so quiet. Because they were absolutely into these stories that i would tell so. I left that job eventually. And then i ended up getting a job working for writing for a magazine. It was very boring corporate job. And i didn't want the creativity that i'd built up in the classroom to go away so every day after work. The job was across the street from the public library. So i would go to the library and sit for an hour. And i would right and it started out where i was trying to just revisit what i had done with the kids just using the same kind of storytelling style. I would use with the kids and the rule that i made for myself was. I have to be having fun. The whole point of this is to be having fun being creative. So i made up these wacky characters and ridiculous dialogue and there's animals that turn into people and there's people that turned into animals and there's all kinds of weird environments and i would take different people from my life and smash them together into one character and make up a character that way and i was just having a lot.
