Sweeping Membranes 101: What Is It and What Are the Benefits?
"Today I am actually coming to you guys with a Q &A episode. So I put in my Instagram stories asking for people to just send me their birth questions, and I'm going to address a few different questions that I got today. So it's a little bit late for some of them. Somebody messaged me that they're two weeks from their due date, and it's two weeks later than they sent that. So I think actually exactly two weeks. So Juliana, if you're listening to this, your due date might be on the day that I'm recording this. Hopefully you're still pregnant and get to listen to this and maybe implement these things. But if not, I still think it'll be helpful for other mamas. So first question that I'm going to start with is one that I got about sweeping membranes. So what is it? What are the risks and benefits? Why would somebody choose to do it? So to start out, I'm just going to explain what this procedure is. So it is that it's a procedure. Some physicians do it routinely during vaginal exams without asking for consent because they think that it's part of just like what you do when you give a vaginal exam, but it's not. It's actually a medical procedure. It is intended for inducing or encouraging labor. It is not technically a medical induction method, but it is intended to get labor started. So this is not the same thing for those of you wondering as rupturing your membrane. So they're sweeping your membranes, or it could also be called stripping your membranes. And then there's rupturing your membranes. Rupturing membranes is also, the technical term for that is amniotomy, and that is breaking the water. And so that's not what I'm referring to here when I talk about sweeping the membranes. What sweeping the membranes is, is a provider will do a vaginal exam or cervical exam, and they will typically insert one or two gloved fingers in through the cervix. So the cervix has to be slightly dilated in order for them to do this. They'll insert fingers up through the cervix, and they will kind of make a circular motion with their fingers that is meant to detach the inferior pole of the membrane. So your bag of water for anybody, I guess I didn't clarify that earlier, your bag of water is what your membranes is. So that bag of amniotic fluid that baby is sitting inside, that is there inside of your uterus. And that's where your baby hangs out and lives your whole pregnancy. Sweeping the membranes is meant to detach that bag of water from the lower uterine segment. And that doesn't really mean a whole lot other than just they kind of take their finger and exactly what it sounds like, they sweep in between that bag of water and the uterus. And this action is meant to help your body produce prostaglandin. Now prostaglandin is a hormone that ripens the cervix and starts to get it more soft and pliable and ready for your body to go into labor. And it's thought that doing the sweeping of the membranes helps your body to produce more prostaglandin and therefore may start labor or encourage your body to get ready. So that's what it is. Now I'm going to take a look at some of the benefits and the risks. So benefits are, you know, just like it sounds like it's intended to start your labor. So if you're looking at a medical induction versus trying other things first, like sweeping your membranes, this is definitely less invasive than being admitted to the hospital, having cervical ripening agents like Cytotec or Cervadil inserted, and being ultimately put on Pitocin or doing other things that are involved in a medical induction. So this could be a good thing to try first before going, you know, straight to that let's be admitted to the hospital for an induction to have your baby. I was looking at a research study. So this is a Cochrane review with data from 44 studies looking at about 7 ,000 women who had their membranes stripped or swept. This is a very, very common thing to be done. I would say that, and this is anecdotal, I don't know the exact number, but the majority of women, I would say, especially if they're with an obstetric practice and giving birth inside of a hospital, tend to have their membrane swept at term, so 39 weeks and beyond to encourage labor to start. Many of them without even realizing it. So it does appear to be effective when you're looking at this Cochrane review. It's effective at promoting the spontaneous onset of labor, and women who had a membrane sweep were less likely to then go on to have a medical induction. However, the current evidence didn't suggest that that necessarily followed on to them having unassisted vaginal births. Sadly, taking a look at these studies, the data was actually kind of limited to compare the outcomes of membrane sweeping with other interventions or no interventions. So really the benefit is it could start labor, and it's less invasive than a medical induction, but it's definitely not guaranteed to start labor. If it doesn't start labor, it could ripen your cervix to help your body kind of get ready. However, it's not without risks, so just like any intervention, there are some things to be considered before consenting to having this done. So some of the risks include uterine irritability, which is really, it could produce that prostaglandin, your uterus could start contracting, but in a way that's really irregular and not actually productive or leading to labor. So you could have contractions that keep you from resting and that are noticeable enough for you to be potentially having to cope through them or just not be able to get the rest that you need, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily doing anything to change your cervix or get your body in labor so that you can meet your baby, and that can just really lead to a lot of maternal exhaustion, both physical and mental. When you are having contractions and you're feeling them, but they're irregular and they're not actually labor, that can be just kind of a mind game and like I said, lead you to not getting good rest that you need for the time that you actually do go into labor. This procedure is also, like I said, less invasive than a full out medical induction, but it's still invasive and it's pretty uncomfortable. Some women don't find it uncomfortable, some women do, you know, just like everything, there's going to be a lot of variety in people's experiences. I will say I had this done several times because for those of you who know my story, I went to nearly 42 weeks pregnant with my daughter and I was looking at possibly having a medical induction, so I wanted to try to do membrane sweeps, you know, before consenting to a medical induction and so we did. I had them done several times, for me honestly, they were so invasive that I actually broke down in tears after one of them, not necessarily because of the pain, but just because it felt like so unnatural and so harsh and rough and it was painful for me, but that's not to say that it will necessarily be painful for you if you opt to have this done, like I said, everybody is a little bit different. I found it personally more uncomfortable than actually giving birth.

The Breakdown
A highlight from The Five Most Important Stories in Crypto This Week
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Saturday, September 16th, and that means it's time for the weekly recap. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Hello, friends. Well, as you know, I have been doing something a little bit different for the weekly recap recently. I've been collaborating with Scott Melker, the wolf of all streets on Friday morning with a live show that we've been doing. That's basically a chance to count down what we think are the most important stories and have some more editorial analysis around them. Obviously, you guys know that when it comes to the normal breakdown show, the way that I insert editorial isn't me giving my opinion on every story that comes through. Instead, it's about how I curate the breadth of different opinions, and that's what really matters to me. I want you guys to have lots of different opinions so you can make up your own minds about everything that's going through this industry. However, people have responded to having a chance to have a little bit more of subjective that opinionated take. And so today, while Scott is in Singapore for token 2049, I decided that I would do my own countdown. This is pretty off the cuff. I'm just letting it rip. But these are what I think are the five most important stories in reverse order. Of course, we're going to do a countdown. Let's make it a countdown. At number five, we have the Gensler hearing and his subsequent comments. So what happened? Well, there was a standard oversight hearing for the SEC this week in the Senate Banking Committee. And of course, everyone in the crypto space was waiting with bated breath to see what soundbites would be trotted out against us this time. Certainly, they were there. Sherrod Brown, who's the chair of that committee, certainly used it as a chance to reinforce his view that a crypto is bad and that be the SEC's enforcement record is good. And Gary's prepared testimony also had some knocks on the crypto space as well. When it came to the hearing itself, the biggest soundbite from Gensler was when he responded to Sherrod Brown, saying right now, unfortunately, there's significant noncompliance and it's a field which is rife with fraud, abuse and misconduct. That was the headliner quotable that people ran with. And yet what was notable about crypto in this hearing was how little crypto there was in this hearing. Indeed, it was almost totally supplanted from the GOP as a topic of interest instead to be something like Exhibit A in a broader case that it seems like Republicans are going to be making for the American public heading into election season, which is about the overreach of Biden appointees and government agencies in general. There was a lot of antipathy towards Gary Gensler for his refusal to comply with Republican requests for oversight. Ranking member Tim Scott, for example, called this dereliction of Gensler's duties to the American people. And in general, it seemed like Republican members were gearing up for much bigger fights. Things like the major questions doctrine, which is a new vector for having the conversation about how much authority agencies and unelected officials can claim. Those seem like the battlegrounds that are shaping up in this pre -election season. So the reason that this hits number five at the list is not that there was something really substantive that was said. It's the fact that there wasn't. And indeed, that crypto has become part of a very different narrative, which is something that given that we are just at the beginning of presidential election season, I think we're going to see a lot more of. Now, as to the question of whether crypto not being a hot button congressional issue throughout the rest of the election cycle is a good or bad thing, I think that's a little bit in the eye of the beholder. Certainly, we had a pretty good chance to get some bad legislation on the books during the time when antagonism towards the industry was highest. But at the same time, you have a whole lot of people and a whole lot of companies and a whole lot of institutions that simply aren't going to touch the space with a 10 foot pole until we get some at least basic clarity. I think that if you are in that camp that wants that basic clarity, the best that you can hope for is some very targeted legislation such as common sense stablecoin rules or something like that. Number four on our list today, we have of course, Binance executives leaving. This was the only one that I knew had to be at this certain level. Because of course, four is CZ's favorite thing to say when anyone has anything to say about Binance this year. TLDR three executives left this week from Binance US making the total 13 across the entire conglomerate since June. News broke on Tuesday that Binance US CEO Brian Schroeder was gone. And then on Thursday, the head of legal and the chief risk officer followed suit. Now added to that we have allegations from the SEC that Binance US were not cooperating with document discovery and that their wallet provider is a Binance subsidiary offshore. In other words, effectively a direct allegation from the SEC that Binance lied earlier on in the lawsuit when they said that they would not send client funds to Binance International. Now CZ did come out and address the rumors around Brian Schroeder. He said in the tweet, there's been some speculation regarding recent management changes at Binance US. Brian Schroeder is taking a deserved break after accomplishing what he set out to do when he joined two years ago. Under his leadership, Binance US raised capital, improved its products and service offerings, solidified internal processes and gained significant market share, all of which helped to build a more resilient company for the benefit of our customers. We are grateful for his contributions. Of course, the crypto world falls into basically exactly two camps. The one who followed up that post saying thanks so much for the explanation. Of course, that's it. And the rest of us who are looking at it sort of shaking our head saying, of course, that's the only thing that you can say. So what's actually going on? Well, it seemed for a very long time like Binance had basically no future in the US. It is under absolute assault from basically every regulatory angle. And regardless of what turns up, there's already been a huge impact on market share. It doesn't have access to banks. And at this moment, we're seeing trading volume in the single digit millions for 24 hours, which effectively means it's not doing anything. We've had eight months of online science from that CEO Brian Schroeder. And so it's hard to imagine that there's any real future there. Now at the same time, it's important to remember that Binance doesn't necessarily need the US. It is still by far the biggest exchange in the world, although its market share has decreased as well. And it would be a pretty rational move at this point just to move on to greener pastures. Now that said, it does not at all feel like the regulatory story and the investigative story around Binance is done. And while I'm certainly not rooting for them to have done bad things, because God knows this industry doesn't need another SAM. I also would like whatever's going to happen to happen so we can get on through it. Speaking of SAM at number three, we have FTX selling approved. This has been a big emergent narrative, really more of a fear than a narrative. And the TLDR is that Galaxy Digital has been approved to start selling FTX's liquid crypto assets. FTX has about 3 .4 billion worth of liquid crypto to sell. And Galaxy has been authorized to sell 50 million of that this week and next week, and then 100 million per week after that. There had been some discussion before this approval around whether people could just get their crypto back instead of it being converted to US dollars. But basically, the bankruptcy estate said that that was just impossible based on how messed up things were internally at FTX. Now, why this matters is less the bankruptcy process and more about the market internalizing this deep fear that we have this big multi -billion dollar sell pressure coming right down the pipeline. Lots of people have pointed out that it's not in anyone's interest, Galaxy Digital FTX or any of us, for this group to just mass dump this and create negative price impact. But that hasn't stopped people from being scared. It feels to me like one of the next things we just have to get through and frankly might correspond with another round of negative press around SAM's trial coming up next month. But if we're asking for opinions, get through it, we will. I think the pressure will be less bad than people think it will. And I think there will be a little bit of a rebound narrative when people realize that it is less bad than they anticipated. At number two, we have the SEC but in a different context. The SEC settled their second case against an NFT project this week, that project being Stoner Cats. Now, I did a whole show about this. But basically, the important things about this are one, the SEC saying its jurisdiction extends to NFTs, two, the reasoning for the SEC's jurisdiction extending to NFTs making it seem like their jurisdiction extends to your Magic cards and your anything else as well. Three, for the fact that we are again seeing their strategy of going after smaller projects who have very little incentive to actually defend themselves and much more incentive to just settle and move on with their lives. And four, for the increasingly direct dissents from Hester Purse and Mark Ueda. Now, there are a lot of pieces of that. I don't really want to go into the whole NFT and collectibles argument again. I did that on the show a couple days ago. I will only say here that I do think that overreach in this area potentially undermines SEC authority in the long run, because I don't think it's going to hold up necessarily. I think the bigger thing to watch is once again, the culmination, the crescendo, if you will, and the coming endgame between this SEC and the industry. Now, of course, should the SEC be emboldened by another Democratic administration, things could just continue or even amplify. But it does kind of feel like we are at the period where most of the big shots have been fired, cases against Coinbase, cases against Binance, etc. And now they're back to trying to pick off easy targets that have implications that would lead to the accumulation of their own power. Perhaps once again, this is the reason that the GOP opponents of the SEC have decided to make the issue not crypto per se, but regulatory overreach in general and Gensler's desire specifically to expand his personal authority and the authority of his office in ways that undermine the authority of Congress. In other words, the reason that the Stoner Cats decision gets so high on this list is not so much the Stoner Cats decision. In fact, it's not hard to find people even in the crypto community who don't really want to go out on a limb to defend Stoner Cats. Instead, it's about what it represents in terms of the cycle and where we are in the fight versus the SEC, which leaves us with our number one, which is actually a news story that broke a week ago on Friday, which is Ripple acquiring Fortress Trust. Now, it's not really Ripple acquiring Fortress Trust. That's the number one. It's what has happened subsequent to that. Specifically, the very brief timeline of events is that last Thursday, this is Thursday, September 7th, said that there was an incident and that all client funds were safe. On Friday, however, Ripple announced an acquisition of Fortress, which coming right after that all client funds are safe announcement certainly raised some eyebrows. And indeed, by Monday, back to this week, we found out that this was actually a bailout and that $15 million was stolen from Fortress, which was made whole by Ripple. On Wednesday, Coindesk dug up the incident report from the software partner, and it appeared that the software provider and not Fortress themselves were the ones that had the breach. Although it also doesn't appear that Fortress were really abiding by the best practice security offered by that provider. On Monday, Anchorage Digital co -founder Diego Monica had discussed the issues with housing crypto custody within trust companies that may or may not have the technical expertise to do it safely. Now, it was related to the prime trust wallet incident, which, by the way, happened under the same watch of the guy who was running Fortress Trust. But it's certainly just as applicable here. Diego said it is an integration failure. It is a company that did not have the technical ability to do what they're saying that they do. So you've got multiple layers of why this story matters and why it's at the number one slot. First, you have the significance of this crypto institutional consolidation. Fortress was one of very few custodians, and so seeing them get acquired by Ripple will have Ripple effects for the rest of the industry. Second, I think that it is reflective of the larger brittleness of crypto institutions right now coming off of the chaos of the last two years. The infrastructure for big businesses and major funds and major investors to interact with this industry is very, very bad right now. Now, of course, a lot of that is due to the fallout of things like Operation Chokepoint 2 .0, where it's just getting harder and harder to be banked, for example, to get access to things like banking services and accounting services. But whatever the set of reasons, it has set back and will set back the industry. Obviously, one of the major positive trends that we have in crypto right now is the fact that major institutional players are circling around the edges, starting to wade their nose in. You've got Franklin Templeton adding their ETF application to the mix as a for example, and maybe that should be on the list as well. But it will be a significant barrier for those companies if they're not able to actually interact with these basic services like custody without having to go build it themselves. Now, the most likely outcome in my estimation is that they do, in fact, go build it themselves, that the companies who are good at all of these different parts of the traditional financial sector reapply simply that expertise to the crypto space. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if what happens and how the regulatory stuff resolves is that basically authority to do all these things is given to who the regulators perceive as the adults in the room. Another way of putting this is that in the same way that BlackRock is likely to get the first ETF, because that gives regulators the ability to say, look, we gave it to a safe party, I wouldn't be surprised if you see more and more crypto activity being managed by these storied, vaunted financial institutions that have long term relationships with the regulators themselves. At the same time, of course, there is no crisis without opportunity. And by the end of the week, Swann had announced that they have plans to spin out a Bitcoin only custody service. They announced that they are working with cold storage provider BitGo to develop the service and they are planning to structure it as a trust company. Now they are quite clear that this is a very difficult thing to do, that there is going to be a long period of getting the requisite regulatory approvals. But ultimately, I think it would be a huge boon to the ecosystem for that service to exist, especially from a service provider that Bitcoiners have built trust with. And that ultimately that combination of reflecting where the industry is, and the really low ebbs and hard points of what's happened over the last couple of years. But also the fact that there are multiple paths forward, some which we might prefer to others is why the Fortress Trust Ripple and now Swann situation makes my number one for the week. Anyways, my friends that is going to do it for the weekly recap. Let me know what you thought of this format. Come join us on the Breakers Discord. It's a great place to talk about this. I hope you are having a great fall weekend. And until next time, be safe and take care of each other. Peace.

A man who attacked an AP photographer and police officers on January 6th has been sentenced to five years in prison. 56 -year -old Rodney Millstreed told the judge it was painful to hear and see his violent acts and combative language in videos of the riot played by prosecutors. They alleged Millstreed, a machine worker, injected himself with steroids ahead of time to be quote jacked up and ready for violence. He armed himself with a wooden club that was made to look like a simple flagpole, flinging that pole at a line of police officers giving one of them a concussion. That's in addition to brutalizing an AP photographer. The former police officer in court for the sentencing told Millstreed he will always be looked at as a domestic terrorist and traitor. Jackie Quinn, Washington and Ben Thomas. Carson Beck threw two of his three touchdown passes to Brock Bowers and had 337 yards passing as top ranked Georgia dumped UAB 4921. I think we're six of six tonight when we did get down to the red zone so I mean it's just a testament to how we practiced and you know one of our focal points. Georgia led just 14 -7 before Bowers broke a tackle on a 41 yard scoring grab. Bowers caught nine passes for 120 yards helping the Bulldogs overcome fumbles on punt and kickoff turns. Jacob Zeno was 32 of 51 passing for 250 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Blazers. The win moves Georgia to 4 -0. I'm Dave Ferry. Chip Traynham scored on a one yard run one with second remaining to give six ranked Ohio State a 17 -14 win over number nine Notre Dame. As a running I back mean you live for runs like that the nitty -gritty runs the runs where you're fighting with your body to stay up making sure nothing is in touch. The Irish looked like they had rallied for the win after Sam Hartman threw a two yard TD pass with 822 remaining and the Notre Dame defense came up with a fourth down stop on its own 11. But the Buckeyes converted one fourth down and a third and 19 in the final 90 seconds to beat Notre Dame for the sixth straight time. Trevion Henderson carried 14 times for 104 yards and a touchdown for OSU. I'm Dave Ferry. The Astros now the trail Rangers by a game and a half in the AL West after a 3 -2 loss to the Royals. With seven games to play, the Astros still lead Seattle by a half game for the American League's final wildcard, but they have lost four of five eight and of 11. Astros third baseman Alex Bregman. I can just say we're not uh we're not playing good baseball in any in any facet really. Chaz McCormick hit a home run for the Astros, but Houston finished with just three hits and were one for seven with runners in scoring position. Adam Spillane Houston. Thank you. Jordan Montgomery and two relievers combined on a six hit shutout is Texas blank Seattle two to nothing. Rangers four straight win. They now lead the AOS by a game and a half over Houston and two games over Seattle eight with to play. Texas manager Bruce Bochy says Montgomery's seven scoreless innings keyed the win. Just a great effort. We needed it. Their guy was throwing well to well pitch game on both sides and you know, a lot of good things happen during that game, but it all starts with money. Jonah Heim and Mitch Garver drove Ranger in the runs with two out hits. Logan Gilbert was the tough luck loser.
The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from This Asset Is Outpacing Bitcoin As Inflation Hedge!
"And probably flat next time, but it's close to a coin toss. They could raise it in November. CPI is up. Consumer Price Index. What does this mean? It basically means how you feel when you're opening your wallet at the end of the week, and then, you know, the pain that you felt. Well, CPI inflation jumped 3 .7 % in August, more than expected. The main reason, higher oil prices were behind the big rise in headline inflation last month. CPI rose 0 .6 in line with economists' expectations for 0 .6 and up from 0 .2 back in July. In a year -over -year basis, it rose 3 .7 % versus forecast for 3 .6%. So you got to be careful sometimes. You'll see people say, oh, you know, it's only 0 .6, it's only 0 .2, yeah, compared to last month. But when you're looking at a nation's inflation, you don't want it to even go up 0 .5 % month -over -month. You kind of want it to be flat month -over -month because the target is 2 % for the year. You divide that by 12, you're going to have everyone coming in at like, what, 1 .888, I think, like that. So 0 .1, 0 .2, we can handle that. Once you start tripling that, quadrupling that, that's when you're going to start to feel a little bit of pain. The core CPI, which strips out food and energy, rose 0 .3. And on a year -over -year basis, core CPI, which is stripping out the food and energy, rose 4 .7%. So almost a whopping 5 % year -over -year there. Surging oil prices were a major factor in the rise of headline inflation. The Fed, though, will likely take comfort in the continuing decline in the core inflation rate, which fell to its weakest pace since mid -2021. The Fed's September policy meeting takes place next week, and the central bank is widely expected to leave it unchanged. Focus will soon turn to the next meeting at the start of November. Markets are currently pricing in a 40 % chance they will rate height then. So according to the CME FedWatch tool, and the prediction markets have been pretty accurate. So it looks like it's going to be flat next time and probably flat next time, but it's close to a coin toss. They could raise it in November, but we're going to be pretty close to the holidays. I don't know if, you know, it's not popular to do something like that right before everyone has to go Thanksgiving shopping or Christmas shopping. And I'm going to be real interested to see what Black Friday is going to look like this year. Do you guys have any Black Friday predictions? Is it going to be, I mean, we're still shrinking it just because of web activity? I always, you know, I'm probably going to buy a TV. That's my Black Friday prediction. Okay, okay. Drew, you're going to buy any like chicken coop wiring? Oh my God. You know, I've been liking buying chainsaws. So I might go get a chainsaw. Oh, man. Plural. You know, chainsaws. All right, chat. How many chainsaws does one home need, one family need, one man need? You got a chainsaw on a pole that I can stand on a ladder on a ladder and then using the pole with the chainsaw at the end of the pole and really reach new heights. So, you know, there's a chainsaw for everyone. All right, all right. Gas is surging. They're feeling the inflation at the gas tank for sure. Yeah, we've seen gas is moving on up. Some people are saying people's faces will melt because of Avax. Avax Avalanche. Because they're sad they lost so much? Is that why? The tears melted the makeup. Ten chainsaws. Ten chainsaws is the number. Kevin has three. Kevin has three. I got a chainsaw. Piccolo Rick says, Piccolo Rick has three chainsaws. Do you guys like really like Limp Bizkit? Like what's, you know, old Eminem videos? What's going on here? I love that album unironically as a 14 -year -old. What is the CPI? Here we have a little bit of a breakdown of the CPI. CPI is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. They tweak it. They massage it, you know, to kind of make them look a little bit better. Here we have the 12 -month percentage change for the major categories. All items. So we have all items, 3 .7 to the upside. Then food, 4 .3%. Energy, actually down here. And then we have major categories, all items, less food and energy. That's the core, 4 .3%. So this is the year -over -year change. So Brent crude probably down there. Alright, let's see. What else do we have here on the US CPI? We have this US CPI pegged token, and it is outperforming Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. But the important thing is to look at, you know, what is the timeframe that it's outperforming here. In this context, this is created, the token created by Fracks Finance and supposedly pegged to the US CPI seems to be outperforming Bitcoin by close to 40 % since its deployment. But the deployment was from September 22 to press time. So from September of last year. And you can see here that was pretty close to, oh, wait, no, that's the CPI. That is not a Bitcoin. If we go to here, we go to Bitcoin chart, we go to September of last year, go to CoinGecko, go to the top coins, click on the flagship crypto. We can't do one year, but we kind of can. Yeah, Bitcoin is actually up. So outperforming in a major way. So doing a pretty good job there. September, I think we're a little bit high. Yeah, September. So up Bitcoin roughly 25 % and is outperformed it by 40%. So the CPI token, but me, I would stay away from something like that. Like just trading gold on the blockchain. I'd probably rather just buy gold from, you know, a pawn shop or something. I don't know, it depends on the tax. Depends on what kind of tax they're giving you. Someone did their community service in a forest to axes only. Ooh, yeah. Whoa. That's a lot. That's what we're kind of feeling. Mario has three, big one, small one and a long one. They're very practical tools. What do you guys like watching a lot of Dexter or someone? I mean, how much trees are going to cut things down and break things apart? It's chainsaws are amazing. Well, I just hired tree removers because I'm scared of heights and there's just no way my age broken limp wrist, you know, that just seems I would be up there shaking like a Chihuahua dripping pee.

A highlight from Session 21 Evangelism
"Back to John chapter 8, there can be no real discipleship if there is not knowledge of the Word of God. And I quote 2 Peter 3 .18, the verse that is the key to this book, growing in grace, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen. The knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ comes from a knowledge of the Word of God. And the Bible is the truth written revealing Him, the living truth. Jesus said in John 8 .31, if you continue in My Word, then are you My disciples indeed. The secret to the whole matter of discipleship is knowing His Word. His Word produces faith, Romans 10 .17, therefore we must continue in His Word. The importance of the Word of God cannot be overemphasized. Bible study and Bible knowledge are a must for a believer to become a real disciple of the Lord. I remember just before we had the break, I was going to give you an illustration of memorization. Navigators, I learned from them, and I believe it's true, that if you just run something through your brain 49 times, it's yours for life. I did that. I've done review, of course, some. But those verses have stayed with me. That first section of verses navigators used was 106. There were six spokes in a wheel, and six verses per spoke, and three times. That was 36 times three, 108 verses. I learned that the year I was a freshman, and I want to tell you those verses I still draw on constantly. And they've stuck with me, and I did it exactly the way navigators said, review every day for seven days. The way I memorize now, I do memorize passages while I'm shaving or something. I try to memorize while I'm driving the car. Sometimes that becomes a little dangerous. Because you can't remember the verse, and then you have to get the card out and look it up, and there could be a wreck. I haven't had one yet. I don't know when it's going to happen. But I go walking. I go walking in the morning, and take my memory verses with me, walking, and memorize while I'm walking. That is difficult. My wife likes to walk too, but I walk ahead of her so I can memorize, and she walks too slow. And I walk ahead of her, and then walk back past her, and walk back ahead of her and back past her. She's also. memorizing She carries a testament and memorizes out of the testament, and we don't talk to each other while we're walking. That isn't very romantic, I know, but we are memorizing scripture and hiding it in our hearts. So you can memorize scripture, and you can do two things at once. I need to walk. It wouldn't work jogging. That doesn't work, but you can memorize while you're walking, and so I do. Now, the illustration I was going to give you was, I was 13 years old when I got a bicycle. That's kind of late for kids now. They get them when they're 4 or 5. I can't believe what kids are getting now. They've got to have... I see around campus these kids in camp with their cellular phones. It just blows my mind. How many kids have cellular phones nowadays, and I've heard of parents buying them 700 minutes a month. For heaven's sake, what's going on? I think we're stupid around here. I got a bike when I was 13, and it was a bicycle. Those were the old timers. Those were when you needed to stop, you pushed the pedal backward. Some of you say, Young, you don't know what I'm talking about. You think I'm talking in tongues, but it literally happened. You step backward on it, and it stops the bike. And the coaster brake, thank you. And I got used to that, rode that, and I rode that probably until I was 18, and I guess I quit riding bikes and didn't ride. And I didn't ride a bike again until I was 64. And I decided, now 64 minus 13 is 51 years. I hadn't ridden a bike for... minus 18 is what? 46 years. I hadn't ridden a bike for 46 years. And I said, Honey, I think we ought to get us each a bike and do some bike riding. And so we went down and bought each a Raleigh bike, and the knuckleheads had changed bicycles in the meantime. They no longer had coaster brakes, they had hand brakes up here, where you'd stop them up here. And I tell you, I like to kill myself. Now I hadn't ridden a bike in 46 years. And all of a sudden, here I am, riding a bike, and I come to stop and I step back and the crazy thing won't stop. And before I would do this, I wrecked the bike, hit a telephone pole or something. Now, it had gone through my brain, Zig, you see, they say a thought goes through your brain, and it makes a track. You've got electronic switches in your brain, it makes a track through them. And the next time you think the same thought, it makes the same track. And the next time, the same track. And finally, it makes a rut up there. And if you'll run it through it often, brainwashing, that's what it is. Memorization is brainwashing. I wish I'd have done memorizing scripture instead of telling dirty jokes when I was a teenager. You know, some of those dirty jokes still come back to me. I'm 76 years old and I was a teenager, that'd be 60 -some years ago. And I don't tell them, but every once in a while, one of them will flashback in. A lot of the good things I thought never come back, but some of the bad things, because I ran them through there and got a rut. Well, what a blessing it is to run through there and get ruts all through your brain with scripture that cleans your mind up. And so the secret is to review, review, review, run it through your brain, be brainwashed with the Word of God. And I believe we need to develop our people. Everybody in our adult Sunday school class memorizes a verse a week for the class. However, we don't have a system of review for that. We have a memory verse every week and every week. And I hope some of them work at retaining them, but we ought to work at scripture memory. There's nothing more valuable than that. And so the person knows the truth, capital letter B, he realizes victory over sin. If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed, John 8 .36. Though the Jews were in bondage to Rome, they tried to deny the fact to the Lord Jesus. He did not argue with them about their political bondage. Instead, he stated clearly that all men are in bondage to sin. And Jesus said that to commit sin is to become a bond slave to sin. A disciple must realize victory over sin. No one can become sinless in this life, but the believer who really wants victory can know deliverance from the bondage of sin. And so a disciple is one who seriously takes the Word of God and applies it to his life so that he'll see victory in his life. Cases as examples of discipleship. II Timothy 2 .2. This was the early church's method, Paul's method. And it's exactly what we should do today. The things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Now that ought to be a motto of our ministry. That ought to be a goal, the motive of our ministry. Scripture says the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men. So what did Paul say to Timothy here? Timothy, you've learned from me. Timothy, you're my son in the faith.

A highlight from Living in a World of Spiritual Counterfeits
"Jude wrote his epistle to address an urgent problem. In fact, it was so urgent that he set aside his original plan. He was going to write his version of the book of Romans to really talk about all that the gospel is to us. But there was an urgent problem. Spiritual counterfeits were infiltrating the church. And in their words and actions, they were working to lead people away from Christ and they were doing this inside the church. This is still happening today. Remember I mentioned last week that I found two counterfeits without really looking for them. Here's what one said in his own words. I want people to see a different view of Christianity. We have a cultural view of Christianity that pastors are against this and that. I'll be at the Pride Festival marching with a group, visiting with people. There is this culture that people believe homosexuality is a sin, which I don't. I want people to see a different view of Christianity. I want to change people's view of what it means to follow Jesus. This man is just one of many counterfeits in our world today. And a counterfeit is a good imitation of the original. A counterfeit is not the original. It's not the real thing, but it looks like the real thing. This man calls himself pastor. He's found in a local church. And yet, as you can see, he fits Jude's description of a spiritual counterfeit. Counterfeits are real and we must know one when we see one and avoid them when we see them. That's Jude's message. Well, how do we live in such a world? Jude closes his epistle with practical advice for you and for me. He shows us how to live in a world where we will find spiritual counterfeits like the one I just mentioned and others as well. They're out there and they're going to continue to be in our world until the Lord Jesus returns. Well, how do we live in such a world? Well, the answer is, and Jude tells us, live life. Live a biblical Christian life. Well, how do we live that Christian life in today's world? He shows us how to do it here in verses 17 through 25 in seven different ways. And number one, step number one to living a Christian life in today's world is to understand the times. Now, we know that God is in control of all things and he has a plan for history. Daniel 2 says this, speaking of God, And God is the Lord of history. We can say that history is literally his story and God directs the events of our world to fulfill his plan. Now, to live in a world where counterfeits continue to multiply, we need to understand the times. We need to understand what time it is today in God's plan. Take a look at verse 17. But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. And to understand the times, we need to go to the only reliable source about our times today, and that is the Word of God. The world won't tell us what time it is in God's program. We can't find out on our own by studying and investigating. We need to look to the Word of God. We got a new toner cartridge for our copier today, and so we went into the office to try to replace it, and I'm fooling around with this, and finally I said, we need the directions. And we took out the directions and we were able to figure out what could not be figured out without the directions, and there is now a new cartridge in the copier and it's working again. Well, in the same way, when all else fails, read the instructions. And the Word of God has reliable information about what time it is in history, what time it is in God's program for the ages. And it says here that we ought to remember the words spoken beforehand by the apostles. And so this is information that is in our Bibles, but it should also be in our minds, in our hearts. We should be able to say, what time is it in God's program? And we should be able to say, I remember, I know, because I've studied this and I've remembered this. And so he says, keep this in mind. And he says, we need to remember the words of the apostles. This is the Word of God. They were the authors of the New Testament, and when they discovered which books belonged in the Bible, they said, we need books that were written by an apostle or under the authority of an apostle. So we have the apostles' writings. That's the Word of God. That's the New Testament. And it is the New Testament that tells us where we are in God's program, what time it is in God's plan for the ages. Verse 17 says this, they were saying to you, verse 18, in the last time there will be mockers. And so we are in a time today that the Bible calls the last time, the last time. And these are the days right before the return of the Lord Jesus, the days right before the day of the Lord and the great end time drama, the tribulation, the judgments, the kingdom and the eternal state. All of that's going to happen very quickly once it begins at Jesus' return. And we are in the last time, the time period before Jesus returns and all of these events begin to unfold really in rapid succession. The Bible says this about the last time or the last days in Hebrews 1, God after he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets in many portions and in many ways in these last days has spoken to us in his Son. So the Old Testament was the time of the prophets and they spoke in many ways. Today we're in the New Testament, we're in the last days and the Lord Jesus is God's final message to us. John said this in 1 John 2, children it is the last hour and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared and from this we know that it is the last hour. So it is the last time, it is the last days, it is the last hour. We are very close to the return of the Lord Jesus and the beginning of the day of the Lord. John says this in 2 John chapter 1, he said many deceivers have gone out into the world those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. Now there is a single antichrist who will appear in the end times, however there are many antichrists appearing at the present time in these last days and anti means against and the antichrist of our time is a spiritual deceiver who speaks against Christ. He distorts and contradicts what the Bible says about the Lord Jesus. The word anti also means instead of or in place of and there are some who claim to be Jesus Christ. They are false Christs who will appear in these last days and there have been people through this time period who have said they are Jesus Christ. And in these last days we can expect to see spiritual counterfeits multiply, there won't be fewer, there will be more. Verse 18 says in the last time there will be mockers following after their own ungodly lusts and these antichrists, these spiritual deceivers, these counterfeits will make fun of Christ and the things of God. They are mockers, they think that the things we believe are a joke and they'll make a joke about it. They're also driven by sin, it says they're following after their own ungodly lusts. They'll also divide churches and believers with their non -biblical teachings. It says this, verse 19, these are the ones who cause divisions and so they will divide churches and believers from one another with their non -biblical teachings. And they're also unsaved and that's what's interesting about the counterfeit. The counterfeit, and I saw a video of the one I shared with you this morning, he looks very much like a pastor, very, you know, in every way sounds like one, looks like one, talks like one, is in a church like you would find a pastor, but a counterfeit. And in doing this you say, well what about these, what about their spiritual condition? Here Jude tells us that the counterfeit is not a believer, but he's not saved. Look at verse 19, worldly minded, devoid of the Spirit. And so this is a person who is natural, not spiritual. Not born again, but a natural, unsaved person, but yet trying to look like, as a counterfeit, trying to look like a teacher, a pastor, someone who you'd find in a local church. So to live in a world filled with spiritual counterfeits, we need to know what time it is in God's program. And the only way to find this out is in the Word of God. The world won't tell us, other books that are not the Bible won't tell us, we can't figure it out on our own, but the Word of God tells us what time it is. And we are in the last time, the last days before Jesus Christ returns, and the tremendous end time events will begin. It's a time when false teachers will multiply. So don't be discouraged by this, this is something we can expect. It's something that is normal for this time period. Years ago I was working with a carpenter, and I'd been a cabinet maker and millman, and they live in different worlds. In the cabinet shop, everything is a square corner, 90 degrees, no more, no less. Or 45 degrees, no more, no less. Or 30 degrees, no more, no less. Working on an old house, there's no such thing as 90 degrees. There's no such thing as 45 degrees. And so I was putting two pieces together that were supposed to fit on this part of the house, and I said to the foreman, I said, these don't fit. He said, that's normal. And he showed me how to figure out how to make things fit that wouldn't fit. And so again, he was showing me what's normal for working on an old house, and what's normal for working on an old house is not what's normal for working in the shop. And what's normal for our time is a proliferation of false teachers, of spiritual counterfeits. We'll find them, and they are out there. They'll find us. We don't have to go looking. They'll find us, probably. And so don't be discouraged by it. It tells us that God's plan is on schedule. God is not behind these counterfeits, but He is allowing them to operate within His sovereign plan, and they have a place in His plan for our time. The plan is on schedule. He's in control. And these last days are the best time to be saved. Now people say, well, I'm going to do what I want, and I'll get saved during the tribulation. Not a great idea. It's going to be very difficult to be saved during that time. People will be saved, but they will pay a steep price for their faith. Now is the time. That's why we call it the last days, and you get to say, well, we don't get sale flyers anymore. You get it in an email, or you get it in a text that says, last chance to buy whatever it is, and now is the best chance to be saved. And then number two for living in these days is to be a student of the Word. Now to live in a world of counterfeits, we need to immerse ourselves in the truth of the Word of God. Verse 20, he says this, but you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith. Now this is the language of the construction site. The foundation has been laid, and it's now time to build the structure. The foundation is the basics of the Gospel. The things we believe about salvation and being born again, we have that already established in our lives. And so the foundation has been laid, and now the structure is going up one floor at a time. I have a book about the amazing project building the Empire State Building. It's amazing. They built this, dug this huge foundation, put it in, and then the building went up floor after floor after floor. And there's a great picture of these construction workers sitting side by side on an I -beam, I don't know how many floors up, eating their lunch. And just like they're sitting in a cafe, but they're sitting, you know, a hundred feet off the ground on this I -beam having their lunch, and pretty amazing. And it was actually quite a safe project in spite of the way it looked. And so that building went up floor by floor, and almost before you knew it, it was completed. Well, in the same way, we need to be growing in the faith, in our knowledge of the faith. That is, our knowledge of the things that Christians believe. And we're to grow step by step, floor by floor, just like a building that is going up on a construction site. And this is the responsibility of every believer. This is not something we can delegate to others. It says, building yourselves up on your most holy faith. And so each of us is responsible to be growing in our Christian faith. And a firm grasp of the truth is our best protection against the counterfeit. Now bank tellers are experts at spotting counterfeit money. There's different ways they do that. And one of the ways that, one of the easiest ways for the experienced teller is to detect counterfeit money by feel. And an authentic American bill, whatever it is, a $20 bill, feels different than a counterfeit bill. The paper is different. It has a different texture, a different feel. And so he can be counting a stack of bills and will feel that counterfeit before he's had a chance to even look at it. He can tell. Why is that? Because 99 % of the time, he's handling the real thing. But every now and then, a counterfeit comes through, and he can respond to it. He can identify it right away. I have a couple of books on my shelf. One is about this thick, and then if you add the two together, they're maybe about that thick. You know, a pretty stout couple of books. And they're all about spiritual counterfeits. But they're not about every one, because there's new ones all the time. They mutate and multiply constantly. And there's no way for us to really know all of the counterfeits that are out there. But we can know the truth. So when a counterfeit comes along, then we'll know right away. We have some friends who went to a church that was a spiritual counterfeit. In fact, I interviewed a pastor of one of those churches years ago, and they told me they were traveling, and they went to this church, and they told me the name, and I said, oh, I know this one. And I said, what did you think? And they said, well, we left partway through the service. I said, why is that? Well, something wasn't right. And they realized they were in the presence of a spiritual counterfeit. Why is that? Because they were well taught in the truth, and they could spot a counterfeit right away. They never heard of this type of church before. They thought it was a Bible teaching church. But of course it wasn't. And the way they knew is that they knew the truth, and they could spot the error. And so really, that's what we need to do, is have a firm grasp of the truth in order to spiritual detect counterfeits. And so be a student of the Word, and master the Bible's teachings on the basics of what we believe. What are some of those? Well, what does the Bible say about itself? What is it that makes the Bible different from every other book? We know that the Bible says that it is inspired by God. It is God's book written through men, but it has God's message to us. No mistakes at all. The Bible says this about itself and many other things. And then of course, what does the Bible say about us, about human beings? We're talking about this in Romans, that every person who's ever been born needs to be saved. And there are many reasons for this. The Bible talks about this. What does it say about salvation? Well, there's one person, one way to be saved, Jesus Christ. What does it say about Christ? The counterfeits will have all kinds of ideas about Jesus Christ. He was a good man, a wise teacher, but he isn't God. Well, the Bible tells us who he is, and Jesus himself said, I and the Father are one. And then of course, salvation. The counterfeits, if they talk about salvation, they'll say, well, everybody's going to heaven, so don't worry about it. Or they'll say, just be good and you'll be fine. But the Bible says, no, by grace we're saved through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast. And so the Bible talks about salvation. What about things to come? You know, there are things we cannot find out about on our own. If you're a sports fan, you wonder, what is my team going to do this year? If you're into politics, you wonder, what does the future hold in that realm? Nobody knows. And we wonder about the future and we talk about it, but we can't really discover what it is. But the Bible unveils things to come. We talked about that in Sunday school today, how the Bible unveils things that are to come, things that we can't know except from the Bible. And so these are some of the things that the Bible teaches. These are some of the basics of our Christian faith and we need to be growing in our knowledge of these things. And to master basic truths, it's good to memorize scripture. You'll see this on your bulletin today. Your word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against you. And as we memorize scripture, we begin to get a real grasp of the truth. Psalm 1 shows us how to grow in our knowledge of the word. How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law he meditates day and night. He'll be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither, and in whatever he does he prospers. And so we need to reject the wisdom of this world, but instead delight in the wisdom of the word and meditate on it, be thinking about it. We're really kind of inundated with information, things we can listen to, things that can distract us throughout the day, and there is some value to thinking about what we know from scripture. I remember reading about a guy who, and woodworkers are kind of notorious for this, when things are slow business -wise, you begin to say, I would never have taken this project before, but I'm going to take it because I'm out of work. And so this fellow had no jobs coming in, and he took a commission for a spiral staircase with no center pole. And so he thought, well, there's got to be something about this in a book somewhere. So he went to the library, nothing. This is before the internet, so you couldn't just find it all on your phone. So he looked and looked, he asked other people, nobody knew how to do it. So he said, my alternative was to think. And that's how he solved the problem. He had enough knowledge to really answer his question, but he did it through pondering the problem and thinking it through. And it's important for us to think about what we read. One of the ways we can do that is we read a text and we say, well, what does it say? Do I know exactly what these words are saying? And what does it mean? And finally, why is it important? Why is it here in the Bible? Why is it here for me? How do I apply this? And we can do this as we meditate on scripture. That's what the man in Psalm 1 does. He's meditating all the time. Whenever he has time, he's thinking about scripture and studying it in his mind and pondering it and applying it. And so we really need to delight in the wisdom of the word and apply it and watch how God blesses our lives. So to live in a world of spiritual counterfeits, be a student of the word. Sunday school, our worship times are good places to start. What's your plan for continuing that construction project in our lives that is our growth in our knowledge of the faith? And then number three, be a person of prayer. Now living in these days of apostasy and spiritual deception can be discouraging. You know, as I watched the video of that counterfeit preaching, the camera panned toward the congregation. And that bothered me because there were people there. They were listening. They were hearing the kinds of false things that he teaches. They were believing it. They were thinking they were saved and very likely they're not. I thought, this is disturbing. It really is disturbing and it can be discouraging when you think about a world where there are active counterfeits out there. Well, again, don't be discouraged. Be a person of prayer. We can bring our burdens to the Lord. These are things to pray about. We can be a part of what God is doing as we pray and see His answer. And the Lord Jesus was a great man of prayer and teaches us how to pray. Jesus taught us this, to pray for clear direction and vision in our lives. Now Mark 1, we read this, In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and left the house and went away to a secluded place, and he was praying there. Simon and his companions searched for him. They found him and said to him, Everyone is looking for you. He said to them, Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, that I may preach there also, for that is what I came for. Now Jesus was in Capernaum, Peter's home, and he had had an amazing healing ministry there. Peter's house was full of people. The whole town was at the door. He was healing all kinds of people, and it was ongoing. And he didn't get to everyone that day and night before. And so early in the morning, people are looking for the Lord Jesus to continue this ministry of healing. And you know, if you visit a doctor's office or a hospital, you see people who are sick and need to be healed. If you walk through a hospital ward, you're almost overwhelmed by the amount of sick people who need care and need to get better. And so this town was full of people who needed, really, a miraculous healing. There was no medical way that they could be healed. It had to be done through a miracle. And Peter, Simon, came to the Lord Jesus and said, Everybody's looking for you. Come on back to town and start healing more people. And Jesus had been praying. And what happened after he prayed? He said, Let us go somewhere else. Somewhere else? What about all the suffering people in Capernaum? Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby. Why? So that I may preach there also, for that is what I came for. What is that all about? Well, the Lord Jesus was sent certainly to do some healing, but primarily to preach the gospel that people would believe and be saved and have eternal life regardless of their problems in the here and now. That's why Jesus came. And what you find, and someone said it this way, the good is the best enemy or the greatest enemy of the best. And you have two competing priorities. One is good. One is best. How do we separate those out? Well, the Lord Jesus separated those in a time of prayer. Healing is a very, very good thing to be doing. But the best thing for him at that time was to be doing what he was sent for. And he was sent to preach the gospel that people might be saved and receive eternal life. And so prayer clarifies our priorities. Ever find yourself with conflicting priorities and demands and you want to know God's will? Talk to him in prayer and he will direct. And then number two, pray before great decisions. Now the 12 apostles would be Jesus' most strategic decision. They would be the foundation stones of the church. And the night before he chose these men, he prayed. In Luke 6, we read, it was at this time that he went off to the mountain to pray and he spent the whole night in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples to him and he chose 12 whom he also named as apostles. And when we have big decisions to make, make it a matter of prayer. And then also pray for others. You know, on the night before the cross, the Lord Jesus prayed for us. We read this in John 17, I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth. And so the Lord Jesus prayed for us on that night before the cross, and that is something we can always do. There was a pastor whose daughter left her family and left the Lord. And she was off living in a life of real sin, real problems. And it was a grief to everyone, to mom and dad, to the church. But they had a prayer meeting each week and they prayed for many things, including this girl, this daughter of the pastor. Eventually, God answered that prayer and she came back. And the first thing she said to the congregation, who prayed for me? She knew that people were praying and it was God that brought her back. And God can do amazing things when we pray. We can pray for others. And pray in great struggles. You know, the night before the cross, the Lord Jesus faced the great conflict of his earthly life. He was in the garden and he went a little beyond them in Matthew 26, fell on his face and prayed, saying, my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, yet not as I will, but as you will. And when we face a great conflict or struggle in our lives, it is time to pray. And when we pray, God does the impossible.

"How to Kill a Firefighter in 5 Easy Steps" With James Geering
"So you talked about your blog for a second and I want to talk about it for a minute because I was reading through your website this morning and this blog really caught my attention it's from 2018 so you probably remember the how to kill a firefighter in five easy steps yes and it's still the same problem today so by that point it had been a couple of years talking about some very pertinent things which is flogging a dead horse to some people if they listen to the podcast a lot but it blows my mind how people are still completely oblivious to it but yeah for example we talk about cancer oh it's you know wash your gear absolutely a small part of the overall thing but the strength of the individual's human body to carcinogens resist is a massive part of that mental health oh james it was what you saw with that you know decapitated three -year -olds absolutely that's a part of it but if you know for example my own personal journey and I never actually I was very very fortunate I had so many positive coping mechanisms given to me just by accident I mean none of us can manipulate our childhood but I was extremely lucky but I almost died in a house fire when I was four so you know you could look at the the three -year -old thing and be like why isn't he getting better well maybe I've never addressed the four -year -old me thing before I ever put the uniform on so that piece was really seeing that this information was kind of getting out there and people completely still refusing to address that so for example sleep deprivation the shifts one of the things that die on my sword elements is that the insanity that if you go into a bank or a grocery store right now 99 of the people working there their work week ends at 40 hours but the person that wakes up from a dead sleep at three in the morning slides down a two -story pole gets in the back of a rig drives lights and sirens against traffic goes to a fire makes entry does a search pulls someone out maybe even then doffs their gear and functions as a paramedic 56 hour week is perfectly acceptable before mandatory so this was the big thing is like yeah if you want to kill firefighters and just keep doing the same thing that you're doing and you're smashing it congratulations you're reaching your quota which is what is a body count again or we could actually take a step back listen to all the science that's already out there from every other profession except ours and police and realize that we're killing our people and until we invest in our first responders and give them the rest and the recovery that we need in our profession I would argue that a 2472 should be an industry standard at minimum then I mean the longer time goes on the more blood is on your hands and you have the information like just my podcast alone 800 experts from neuroscientists sleep medicine experts coaches and nutritionists and you name it so you can't say you didn't know so now it's knowingly burying your peoples and that was 2018 that's five years ago I was already just angry about it because I myself had put two years worth of information out there for free anyone can access no Patreon no exclusive membership just open source for the whole world so they say about insanity doing the same thing expecting different results you know push -ups haven't fixed mental health clean cabs I'm all for that concept not surgically but leaning that way but we're still losing people hand over fist from cancer so it's not just the fires it's not just the exposures to trauma there's other elements that we have to bring into this conversation

80 Reported Dead As Wildfires Ravage Through The Hawaiian Island Of Maui
"Tragic news out of Hawaii as the number of people missing in the midst of these fires, these wildfires, could be as high as 1 ,000. That is the report that we are getting. Now one woman, a Maui resident, hopes that her grandmother has escaped as she struggles to reach her. We don't know where she is. This is what the woman told NBC Nightly News. This is just very, very tragic. As of about 3 .14 p .m. Eastern Daylight Time, officials have confirmed about 80 deaths as these wildfires ravished through the island of Maui and Maui County Mayor Richard Bison warned the death toll could go up, it could rise. A total of about 2 ,200 buildings and other structures have been destroyed. This is as of Friday while 2 ,170 acres have been burned. So again, the death toll hits 80 as officials say rebuild efforts could top 5 .5 billion, not a million, we're talking billions. Six fires are burning in Maui and the Big Island, but officials say the Lahaina Fire is now 85 % contained. Many of the town's historic landmarks are lost. Hawaii Governor Josh Green said the fires are likely to be the largest natural disaster in the state's history. Of course, Lahaina is the most impacted area of the island. It's located in the western area of Maui. According to the Associated Press, Maui residents returned to their neighborhoods to find block after block of flattened homes and businesses, incinerated telephone poles, and ashy lots where apartment buildings once stood. I don't know what's going on with all these wildfires. We had a tremendous amount of wildfires, you know, I think it was Alaska that impacted the northwest, the region of the country where I live. Just a lot of smoke and just, you know, very dangerous breathing conditions and things like that. I think it's the global warming and I think, you know, when it comes to the environment, the Biden administration, him and his cabinet, they really need to get a grasp on what's going on with these wildfires. What is going on in the environment that is triggering, you know, these wildfires? Now, we know it's been, you know, a heatwave, you know, throughout different parts of the country and anytime there's hot weather and humidity, that means that, you know, it's dry. And of course, those conditions are very favorable for wildfires and they kind of trigger all of that. So we are definitely praying for the citizens of Maui that everything is okay. The loss of life has been tremendous already. Again, the death toll has reached about 80 people. So many buildings and structures have been flattened by these wildfires. Maui, you are definitely in our prayers. You guys have been locked into another edition of Convo Over Cigars on a Saturday. Of course, I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. You guys take care.

A highlight from No Interruptions Podcast - Which Political Party Wins Over Young Voters?
"Welcome to this week's No Interruptions podcast where, again, the only rule is no interrupting allowed, unlike what we normally do, interrupting, cross -talking, shouting, screaming, pull out our hair, weeping and gnashing of teeth. Both of our guests get a chance to present their side, their perspective, their argument without any interrupting whatsoever. On one side of this conversation today about which political party is doing a better job connecting and wooing and winning over young voters, Terry Schilling is president of the American Principles Project. He's responsible for developing, coordinating and implementing their strategy, messaging and grassroots activity at the state level. He's worked in communications development grassroots for people like Representative Chris Smith from New Jersey, Senator Sam Brownback, and even managed his dad's race for Congress in Illinois. He led the Bobby Schilling for Congress campaign to a 10 -point victory. And Jake Poling is a field rep for Turning Point USA, one of our favorite organizations in America. Turning Point, of course, our friend and colleague, Charlie Kirk, founded. Jake attends all the Turning Point USA events all over America, is heavily involved in getting young voters engaged in politics, and even hosts his own podcast called The New Right Podcast. So gentlemen, let's get started. Terry, I want to start with you. Do you accept sort of the conventional wisdom that of the two political parties, it's the Democrats who do a better job of connecting with young voters? I think that there are, I think that's exactly right. I think that Democrats are doing, having the most success in attracting young voters. And it's because there are three primary factors that have a major impact on your political party preferences. And those three, three, three factors are church attendance. Do you go to church on a semi or somewhat regular basis? Second is marriage. Are you married? Do you plan to get married sooner or later? And then three is children. Do you have children? Do you want children? Do you have children at home right now? How many children? Those three things, if you're more likely to go to church on Sunday on a regular basis, you are going to be much more likely to be a Republican. If you're married, you're much more likely to be a Republican. If you have children, you're much more likely to be a Republican. If you want those three things, you're much more likely to be a Republican. But the trend lines with Gen Z and even millennials before them are not promising. Every in generation America is less religious than the one prior to it. These are what the trends are. Marriage rates have fallen through the floor. We don't have a divorce problem so much as people aren't getting married anymore problem. And then also on top of that, if that all wasn't enough for bad trend lines for the Republican Party, people aren't having children anymore. The birth rate is below replacement levels, which means that Americans aren't even having enough children to replace themselves after they go, which means that we're dying. So I think that how things stand right now, Democrats are the party of destruction. They are destroying things and they take advantage of all of these decaying institutions and things that we're suffering from. So I do think that Democrats are doing a much better job at bringing in Gen Z and younger generations. You know, Jake, I think it's fair to believe that all three of us sort of sing from the same playbook here, the same manual. We're Republicans. We lean right anyway. And clearly there's been deep concern on the part of longtime Republicans like me that we're not doing enough to win over young people. Then, of course, comes a long turning point, USA. I mean, I think the very existence of this organization that you're a part of gives a lot of us hope and inspiration. But react to Terry's very eloquent stating of three big factors which tend to favor Democrats connecting with young voters rather than Republicans. Yeah, no, I definitely do see where he's coming from with that and I'm not necessarily going to say I disagree with those specific points. One thing that I've noticed is that people in working with young people on a daily basis coming out of college and high school, I grew up actually a little more on the left than I came out of high school and college, which is crazy. Usually it's the other way around. I've been given so many great opportunities to to be on the front lines with young people every day, seeing what problems they actually are facing on school campuses and just in the everyday world right now. What he said is not wrong, but I do believe that Gen Z and millennials are trending, especially Gen Z, conservative. They're tired of the progressivism that is being pushed to them in their schools by adults that have no idea the way that they live their lives, what they believe. They're being told what to believe without having any moral, they have morals and they're hearing this from people who don't have a moral backbone. One thing that I do want to reiterate with that before I kind of go on too much of a tangent here, there is the, if you guys saw, I'm sure you did the University of Michigan study that came out, how boys in their junior, senior high school are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservatives compared to those who identify as liberal. That's huge and that comes from organizations like Turning Point that are, you know, on the front lines helping young people get involved in politics and giving them a voice. I feel like a lot of young people are afraid to speak out on their actual opinions due to fear of backlash. And we're finally at a point where the Republican Party is pushing and doing a good job, something they should have been doing a long time ago, pushing optimism and aspiration and the American dream and that's something that we haven't done a very good job of really for a long time, especially when I was in middle school and high school when I grew up under Barack Obama's administration, which was a complete disaster. And then one last thing I'd like to add, local GOP groups working at the city level or at the county level, they're doing a much better job than they used to and trying to bring in young people to the movement. We did not focus enough on young people back in the mid -2010s. Right now, we're a little late to the party, but we are really, really doing a nice job now at working together at Turning Point, local GOPs and other like -minded organizations to get young people excited about being an American citizen. It's okay to love America and I think young people are starting to believe that too. You know, I don't want to turn this whole conversation today on our No Interruptions podcast into a conversation about Turning Point USA, but I must say, Terry, that it's so impressive to see the work that they've done and the real, real powerful movement it has become. And I just wonder, do you know of anything on the left or do the Democrats have anything comparable to Turning Point USA? Certainly, they have college professors and wacky far -left activists and every kooky ideologue under the sun from Hollywood to academia and in between, but I don't know of any group on the left that's comparable to thousands and thousands of high school and college kids that are mobilized the way Turning Point is. Do you know of anybody, any such group? I don't know of any non -governmental organizations that are like that, but I think that if I were to compare what Turning Point has built and actually why Turning Point is so incredibly important is that what has happened in our country is that the progressives have taken over our K through 12 education system. So while Turning Point is doing phenomenal work, and I wish Turning Point was not just a billion -dollar -a -year organization, let's say we're a trillion -dollar -a -year organization so that they could compete with the public education system. It's quite unfair, but what we need to do really is, I'm not a fan of privatizing education as the only solution. I think we need to retake the education system. I think that Charlie Kirk, as head of the Department of Education, would be a phenomenal system and would actually allow us to start fixing the history curriculum, sort of fixing the lack of education, sort of fixing the lack of math and reading programs, but unfortunately, we are fighting from the outside while the progressives own the institutions that we are now trying to take over. To give the progressives credit, they fought this 100 -year, century -long march to take over all of our institutions, and they basically completed it all the way up until the Department of Defense, which we're seeing more and more about their woke programs that they have. That's Terry Shilling, who's the president of the American Principles Project. Jake Poling is a field representative for Turning Point USA. Jake, let's talk about going forward, and I want to be about answers here rather than complaining about the deficiency that Republicans are perceived to have with young people. How does it get better for the Republican Party? How do we win more young people over to our side? Absolutely. Well, for one, we just have to relate better. One thing that the Republican Party, and we all can admit, for a long time, we have not been able to relate to young people as well as the people on the top tab in a long time. One thing that I hate to give credit, but credit where it's due, in 2008, 2012, when Obama won both of those elections, he used grassroots. He used getting young people involved in politics to win his elections. He won his election based on the grassroots and young people. And then when it comes to the more recent elections that just happened with Trump and Biden, those elections, young people came out in numbers, apparently, for Joe Biden that we've never seen before. And we have to create this new wave now of the American youth to really hone in on our pro -American values, where we go from here. So it's really just engaging with these students and with these young people in high schools and in high school and in college, coaching them on speaking up for what they believe in, giving them the chance to, you know, if something goes on in their school or at their college, speak at their local school board meeting or Board of Education meetings, let them know what's going on in schools, give them that platform, you know, encourage them to vote when they can or register to vote when they can and speak about that to their to their peers. Hosting impactful events is another thing that students can do. It does not take money to do anything like that. I mean, it doesn't take much to go to your school and say, hey, what can we do? Maybe we can bring in the local police chief to come in and speak on the good work that they're doing, bring people that are like minded, that they can come in and get people excited to to push the agenda that we want, the the the nuclear family, the pro -American values, the pro -constitution values, capitalist values to more young people. And I think more young people will will fall in line with that when they realize that. I think at the end of the day, one thing that I've heard growing up and I didn't really understand it until now, when you grow up, it's a quote that I love, when you go up, you want to be a Republican. And that has a whole lot of meaning behind such a small statement that I really live by that. And I firmly believe it.

Thanks for listening to the daily Dennis Prager podcast to hear the entire three hours of my radio show Commercial free every single day become a member of Prager topia You'll also get access to 15 years worth of archives as well as the daily show prep subscribe at Prager topia calm Hello, my friends, I'm Dennis Prager great to be with you. I hope the feeling is mutual And I assume to a large extent it is because that's why you're tuning in America has been Divided often there always been people if you will on the left people on the right Certainly, there was a division over slavery. That was dramatic to the point of hundreds of thousands of Americans slaughtered in a civil war What is new in the division today There are a number of things and it's a worthy topic Certainly come to the fore because of the indictments or the charges brought against The leading Republican contender and a former president unprecedented actions in the United States Presidented in virtually every dictatorship What is new is that the two sides have a different perspective Have not just a different perspective that's much that's much too mild The two sides have a different perception that's the word I wanted of reality See the north and south did not differ on facts They differed in values, but not on facts We have today not only Values that are diametrically opposed to one another between left and right We we don't even agree and this this is what is the first on reality If you think it is fair For biological men to compete in women's sports. It's not a matter of values Where where where why is this a values issue? This is a reality issue either. It's fair or It's unfair. That's that's a fact either men have an advantage Whether or not they call themselves women or they don't have an advantage whether or not they call themselves women either men who say their women should be put in women's prisons and women's locker rooms or they shouldn't That is not a difference in values that is a difference in reality We perceive reality differently. I read the New York Times editorial defending Jack Smith We don't agree on on reality. It is not again only an issue of values There is a values issue you better have a massive massive reason unprecedentedly serious reason to arrest a former president and the leading contender of the opposition or you are communists or Fascists or any term you wish to use for people who wish to have dictatorial rule in a country There isn't outside of Alan Dershowitz there isn't a liberal let alone a leftist of whom I am Oh, yeah, there is a Jonathan Turley right Jonathan Turley is another liberal And I say that despite the fact that Jonathan Turley attacked me many years ago Bizarre it just shows you how deep this stuff is because he writes a lot of very good stuff He called me a Judeo -Christian fascist. Did you know that? That that was a new term I've been called everything but Judeo -Christian fascist Because we know the history of Judeo -Christian fascism is so long and dark what It's Yes Anyway another by the way, it's another example of we know what they know and they know they don't know what we don't They don't even read our perspective or hear it or watch it. We we have all we know theirs. I read the New York Times How many New York Times readers read the Wall Street Journal editorial page? This is a terrible a terrible day in America, I Wrote 20 years ago that we're having a civil war and I said and I pray it remains nonviolent I'm not sure that this is not an act of violence isn't isn't every arrest an act of violence Now it as I have I wrote many years ago. There's moral violence and immoral violence So you may say it's moral violence arresting people and it usually is But it is violence and if it's not moral You you have Done something that only the Lord knows what it can lead to It's a very very very very bad thing in American life He told pernicious is that the word what was the adjective for the word lies In the indictment that the headline of the New York Times yesterday We'll find it He was let's see This Is the wrong one I want to get today's Column from the new the or the way the New York Times has reported it There we go You should know by the way, this is very distressing Judges signed to Trump Trump federal case Tanya should come shut Ken Has sometimes handed down sentences tougher than the one sought by prosecutors The woman is a left -wing activist That is who the judges the federal judge The federal judge assigned to former President Donald Trump's latest criminal case Has been publicly critical of January 6th as imposed lengthy sentences on Trump supporters Who went into the Capitol I Know one such John strand who's in not only prison but a particularly Severe prison and all he did is video of him. All he did was enter the Capitol These Most of the the vast majority of the people who went to the Capitol that day went to demonstrate Not to insurrect the day they used insurrection I Realized we're entering The realm of propaganda I He's used the Reichstag fire and I was right The German Parliament was burned in 1933 just as Hitler assumed power in Germany and The Nazis used that fire as an excuse to jail opponents and and rule by Dictatorial decree Ever hear of the term state of emergency Yes, that's what they did Should come a former public defender has shown a scrupulous concern for the rights of criminal defendants During the final years of the Trump administration. She repeatedly frustrated Justice Department efforts to accelerate the execution of federal inmates The Supreme Court reinstated the executions she blocked Supreme Court has overturned her Chitkin would oversee a trial into the case Which she hasn't yet scheduled Trump will make his initial appearance in the case Thursday afternoon. That's today, correct? That hearing is expected to be overseen by US magistrate judge Moxilla Upadhyaya Upadhyaya The indictment unsealed on Tuesday Which accuses Trump of criminal scheme of a criminal scheme to stay in power? after his election defeat the reading from the Wall Street Journal has been randomly assigned to Chutkan a 2014 Obama appointee Who was confirmed by the Senate on a 95 to 0 vote Like to know who the five were Who voted against her? She's not inclined to give people involved the benefit of the doubt Said Douglas Berman a professor of criminal law at the Ohio State University Two worlds in one country Gold dealers are a dime a dozen. They're everywhere what sets these companies apart and whom can you really trust? This is Dennis Prager for am fed coin and bullion my choice for buying precious metals when you buy precious metals It's imperative that you buy from a trustworthy and transparent dealer that protects your best interests So many companies use gimmicks to take advantage of inexperienced gold and silver buyers be cautious of brokers offering Free gold and silver or brokers that want to sell you overpriced collectible coins Claiming they appreciate more than gold and silver What about hidden commissions and huge markups Nick Grovitch and his team at am fed always have your back. I trust this man It's why I mentioned him by name Nick's been in this industry over 42 years and he's proud of providing transparency and fair pricing to build trusted Relationships if you're interested in buying or selling call Nick Grovitch and his team at am fed coin and bullion 800 2 2 1 7 6 9 4 American federal .com American federal .com So the judge that is overseeing the Prosecution and I would say persecution of Donald Trump is a left -wing activist She was part of lawyers for Obama She's the person overseeing the trial she's the judge She is regularly handed down sentences in line with or above what prosecutors recommend That is very rare. By the way making numerous statements concerning the seriousness of the attack on the Capitol and the future threat of political violence driven by Anti -democratic sentiments said John Lewis a research fellow at George Washington University's program on extremism This is all reported in the Wall Street Journal The New York Times is livid with regard to Donald Trump and The his lie that the election was dishonest Let's say it was a lie Do you understand that you're allowed to lie except under oath You're allowed to say a lot of horrible things Nazis demonstrated in front of a Georgia synagogue last month and when the police were asked why they didn't stop them they said because they're exercising their free speech and I am a Jew and I agreed with the police If free speech is allowed it allows for terrible speech it even allows for lies. I Am allowed to say the earth is flat. Is that a lie? Can I be arrested if I get a public forum and say the earth is flat? No First of all, sometimes lie is not clear. Sometimes lie is used as a political weapon We're told that we lie by saying that men and women are basically different. That's a lie It's a lie. We're told by the American Medical Association That it is a lie that men have an advantage in sports Right, these are all lies The stabilizing that's right. Okay, you're allowed a lie, but you can't tell a destabilizing lie to Say that this is not the America I grew up in is like saying that it is cold in the North Pole It is not, you know, I do a podcast with a 23 year old young woman Dennis and Julie it's called and you would love it. It's It's quite remarkable. She's quite remarkable. So I have Philosophized over the following question Who has it worse emotionally? young people Who never saw a free America? Or those of us who are old and did see a free America and are watching it disappear. I Don't have an answer to that question Mm Memories are very powerful and can be a source of comfort and they can be a source of distress if the memories are Over I Don't have an answer to that question. She doesn't either She sort of doesn't understand the America that I grew up in. She believes me. She understands the words When I was a kid, I remember this so vividly I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, we would play stickball in the street So, you know the guys would yell at each other and some guy would say something stupid or mean or whatever and somebody would say shut up and That kid would say Hey, it's a free country That was the answer of the guy who said stupid things are even cursed It's a free country. It was built in you could say anything Even things that are wrong or at least perceived as wrong The president of the United States and the leader of the opposition is going on trial Because he said things that the opposition doesn't believe are true The my favorite is Jack Smith wrote in the indictment That Trump knew that it was a lie that what he was saying was a lie Really then why don't we put Donald Trump on a lie detector There was no doubt in my mind that he is a certain That he was defrauded of the election as you are that Of your name. He is as certain of that as you are of whatever your name is This is what we've come to It has been a revelation to me in my older age You know, you think you know a lot especially if you spend your life thinking and writing and talking I Never realized until the last few years How many people are governed by emotions Trump is the perfect example People I respected voted Democrat because they hate Donald Trump It is better to ruin America then vote for a man. I hate I Feeling is another country where this is happening. Well, we'll talk about that in the next segment But that's it people are emotionally driven One of you wanted a lie, here's a lie. I'm about to tell you a lie that the Enlightenment ushered in the age of reason I Wish we were living in the age of reason If we were living in the age of reason forget a Judeo -christian age just the age of reason Donald Trump would not be on trial It is pure undiluted Passion So here's the question Is there a more powerful force than hatred? Another Question I don't know the answer to People are willing to destroy this country because they hate one man That's fascinating All right, we continue To remind you that August is fundraising month for PragerU. Please make a donation during the break a Meliorate thank you amelia rate. Excellent Sean Sean has a slight OCD problem, but it's very slight If you realize what I've accused Sean of white supremacy OCD My guests are true experts on the Middle East they're in from Israel Felice and Michael Friedson, I've known them for years. They're wonderful human beings and they're honest You know if I didn't ask you personally and I'm not even sure now I know your politics Which is such a credit to you to you both So Israel has been wracked with unprecedentedly large Demonstrations, so I'm curious you heard me you were in the studio and I said, oh Maybe you didn't might have been right before you came in I said America is now one country and two worlds. Is that true for Israel? Is it that severe? Israel is fighting Internally, I'm not so sure that they're trying to Undo what was done as much as they're seeing openings to pick up the power that they might be able to get their hands on so each side is looking for the mechanics of Functioning in a government where they say things are unconstitutional and yet there's no Constitution or laws Go through on the way to being approved as a law of the country Goes through a system whereby somebody will yell it's unconstitutional and have to go through the Constitution committee But yet there's no Constitution. Yeah, that's a phenomenon I will admit but I am curious about the depths of the division what I described about America Do you would you say that about Israel today? It's two countries or two worlds People won't talk about it. It's the kind of discussion that certain things are off limits nobody wants to be accused of doing something because they don't like the sardine where the Ashkenazim where they're taking those kind of intranasian battle Decree you have the phenomenon and I I I shudder to ask the question Do you have the phenomenon that we have in America and I'm telling you it is widespread of Children, I don't mean five -year -olds or ten -year -olds I mean 20 and 30 year olds who will not speak to a parent because of how they voted It's starting to seep in that's what I was about to add and you are beginning to see this happen. Really? Yes Yes, so this has been very divisive But you know Dennis I have to say there are issues here that are far more serious. You're looking at Iranian nuclear proliferation Imagine around October November it could happen and Israel has to go solo Something kicks up off the war. There's been all kinds of tests on borders with Israel whether it's Lebanon It's all of Iran's proxies and all of a sudden you have reservists right now that are saying that we're not going to show up Because of the judicial reforms and we're talking about 10 ,000 or more reservists. We're talking about Air Force pilots We're talking about those that manned drones we're talking about intelligence officers and you can read this every day This is getting to the heart of the nation so I ask you that even if Prime Minister Netanyahu may be correct and if even if you agreed with Prime Minister Netanyahu in terms of the fact of how judicial reforms should play out and when Sometimes the timing for the sake of a nation's security Might be more important and I'm throwing that out because I think people sometimes stop short and don't look at the big picture So even if Netanyahu and his supporters are right It's not it may not be the time because of the security issue. It's one one I have to admit I read that there were people members of the Air Force for example who threatened this and I couldn't believe it because Iran doesn't care if you're pro or anti Netanyahu pro or anti judicial reforms They want to kill you like the Nazis did not distinguish between left -wing and right -wing Jews secular and religious Jews They don't see it that way. They are willing to jeopardize Israel These reservists because of politics. Yes That's how bad it's gotten. So I think that Israel is at a very dangerous moment Where there's such a discomfort look you have high -tech Israel with many of the techies taking their companies already and moving out Now I hear it's happening now too with the doctors and I think that's probably less so but when you have two industries That are so vital to the state of Israel. Then you have to ask yourself why now? You have to ask yourself if you're an activist in Netanyahu's camp, yes you do So the question that many are asking is why now Well, the opportunity presented itself now Yeah Because he won with the elections were coming and going coming and going and finally you got a chance to put the numbers together Right. What's what has people? Pounding their heads against the wall is wondering why when the For example, we're now at something like 30 or 29 consecutive weekends of multi tens of thousands of people marching in the streets We fly in an airplane headed to Israel and we hear the conversations like oh, we'll meet you after the demonstration Or you know, I'm coming to visit Israel I may not go to the Western Wall this time, but I'm not going to miss the demonstration on Saturday night it's become the culture of the country and as it spread each sector within the nation is putting their hat in the ring to be the deciding factor of pushing the Numbers over the top. I guess you'd say what do the supporters of the current situation? Of the the anti -netanyahu folks, what is their argument with regard to the Supreme Court? That they should be allowed to rule on anything without reference to any Constitution Well, I give the this Constitution that aspect of it has fascinated me free free decades Now the idea that when they say it they believe they're talking about something being unconstitutional But they don't take the next step to describe how it becomes unconstitutional because that's their opinion That's why we have what's called the reasonable yes, that's that the reasonableness clause Yeah, all right, we're gonna be back in a moment Folks two great countries are in trouble That's the bottom line the US and Israel to democratic The editors of the editors of the media line org a source of non -biased news about the Middle East Michael and Felice Fritzen are in town from Israel and What they're describing? I mean we have not reached the point where we have Members of the armed forces taking a political position and saying they they won't show up That's I have to say that's that's scary and we're not threatened with existential annihilation like Israel is If these people don't show up a Hesitation is everything and if they're not practicing it's a big problem What is their what is their statement This is not a country worth defending if we don't get our way on the on judicial reform That's basically this the gist of it if you will leave that part of the imagination, but clearly that's what they're saying It's not a democracy anymore and because it will cease to be a democracy if these So if this this notion it will cease to be a democracy That's what they say here on the left.
Conversations with Coach LA
Coach LA and Author Leslie Guity Reflect on the Power of Intuition
"When I was pregnant, when my first child, I was singing in a band with my brother and I was going to go spend the night over a friend of mine. And he came and he drove me to my parents house to get my clothes and everything. And that morning, though, I went to Mad Fan Square. I didn't feel good. I felt like something was bad was going to happen. And I saw this lady there and I was telling her something's bad is going to happen today. She was like, no, it's such a beautiful day. It's nice and sunny. I said something's bad is going to happen. So me and her got on a bus and we went to Mad Fan, came back. The day was going great. And like I said, we went to my parents house to get my clothes so I can go spend the night over my friend's house. And my brother was playing outside with my little sisters and they had just put street cleaning poles up and he ran into the street cleaning pole right in front of the lady. I told that there was something going to happen. So I I hear things and I see things. And when I was younger, I didn't know how to how to how to use them. But now I do, you know, so when I'm selling my books at pop ups, I hear the Lord tell me different things about people and I'll just tell them and they'll look at me like, wow. And, you know, a disclaimer, some people will come up to me and goes, you remember me? And I won't because it's not me that's telling them that it's God. So, well, I was talking to Leslie before we got we went live and I was giving her the back story because she asked me, how did I come into therapy? And I said there, you know, how did how did I decide to go into therapy? And I said, I didn't that it had chose me. So I do think, you know, often when we're thinking about purpose, your steps are already aligned. And there's some listeners out there that might think this is, you know, hog bosh or whatever, how you say that like. But I do think that there are some times where your intuition and you'll feel it in your body like some people those ignore signs. But I've had clients tell me like I thought I knew something bad was going to happen or I felt like I shouldn't have gotten that car or and I didn't. And the next thing you know, my friends got pulled over. So there is this sense that sometimes you can if you are attuned, which is your self -awareness, that something doesn't look right or feel right about this situation. So if you if you're out there listening and you've ever had these kind of epiphanies, right, which is going to bring me into what I'll talk about next. Right. These moments where you just felt it. And I know I have definitely felt moments like like that where I'm not going to go to that party. The the trip to this is, is that it can also make you have anxiety and become a worry war, too. You don't you don't do anything. So you got to balance that

"Trust for us that's the most important thing yeah so it is yeah it's really important and again peppered with examples of times where people have not told me information until four or five hours in and this because they've not trusted me until that point to to give me that information they're quite often personal information which really has been the crux of it because as we both know a business dispute isn't all about a business contract it's quite often behind the individuals who are sitting behind it you've got to get them to be able to trust you to to move that on absolutely greg and there can be quite personal issues which might be nothing to do with the business or they might be a side issue for the business but sometimes they've never told anybody and if there are lawyers involved they've maybe never told their lawyers that part of the story and we're the first to hear it yeah yeah yeah definitely and sometimes actually not only are we the first to hear it but also you can see the light go on in their head as they're saying it it's the first time they've said it in a particular way and thought oh oh actually maybe i'm not right you know maybe i didn't realize the other party's argument as well or i assumed that someone had done this within the business and it's not being done and now i realize why there's this big gap between us yeah yeah so yeah that's always interesting um obviously another hot topic at the moment is the metha tidville case are you following that uh is this well this is this is one about um well more about making mediation mandatory isn't it really yes i have been following that and understanding that some people are you know that they're that that people are wanting to take a side on the sides on that in particular as well yeah yeah oh we've got an audience i think if we were here long enough we'd get an audience yeah no i think obviously it'll be an important judgment when it's when it's done and i see that cedar ci and cmc have joined together to they have put over our views on that yes yes there have been discussions and um yeah about about whether that should happen in fact whether the whether the professional bodies should take a view on it or not and and they have decided to um it will be an important case for sure i think as far as the courts are concerned uh as to whether people feel more

"Completely because it's in my business name just come up with a different meaning for it i'll have to change the name of the business i know but i think you're right i mean there's there's i've heard loads of different things that the a can be um and you know i like appropriate um what was the other it's um oh escaped me now i'll remember it later there was a there was a great a i heard a few weeks ago um and i thought oh i wonder if um i wonder if anyone's using that it sounds really good yeah um but when you're battling to get a lot of people to even understand what it is anyway making a big sort of thing about changing the name yes probably wouldn't help no um it needs to be just sort of um done subtly over time probably and do you think great this focus on dispute resolution i mean is that holding us back in what we're trying to actually do yeah because remember how the conversation started about getting to people to change behaviors so they don't get in dispute in the first place and looking at um you know you could argue and people have argued this with me that mediation is it dispute resolution because it doesn't always settle so you've not always got a resolution to the dispute so you know it's it's maybe not actually dispute resolution and if someone can come up and i've tried over the years to come up with a different sort of phrase than great but i think you know it's it's it's all some people say arbitration isn't adr well i would tend to agree with that in a way and that it's very much um more uh what you call it not well it is more judicial isn't it determinative determinative it's making a determination and at its purest one of the courses i did as a as a as a post mediation advanced media is transformative mediation and people think that's all about psychology but it's not it's about looking at what are we really trying to transform in a mediation we're really trying to transform the relationship or the interaction between the two parties which has broken down and it's broken down to the extent they can't solve their own problem so if you were to be able to shift them back to a more positive interaction then they'd be able to reach their own resolution and so the principle of transformative mediation is self -determination and you get to that place where you can do that and that to me is that to me is the essence of mediation there's a key there i think in that definition as well which i think we need to the royal we need to offer the market what they want and by saying well this is mediation and this is what you need it turns people off yes and it's about what they need and we we might not get to the bottom of what we need until we've started yes and it might be that actually this mechanism we're using now this mediation the way it's set up isn't what you need yeah you actually need this this or this so let's see how we move either with us still involved into this position or we have to say okay we end this now and we're going to move into a different process completely with a different arbitrator or whatever it might be making the decision and and from that even within mediation so parties agree yeah we want mediation you you might find quite often i find actually that going through a process like you teach mediation is not what one what people want and it might be you know that when you teach mediation it's

"Sort of order people to mediation i've never really felt that was necessary if we did the job of explaining what mediation was and the benefits of it i understand why why it's attractive to do that but i do still feel that people come probably to mediation with a different mindset if they've been told to come yeah yeah we'll see where that goes i suspect it will be mandated in a way and there are issues around that around the quality of the mediators and lots of issues around that whole process but that's that's one of the big issues at the moment and the other big issue is you and i discuss is how do we actually help those in industry as well as in the legal profession in business to understand mediation and how do we how do we help them to understand it and embrace it and use it because it's still very much a sort of distressed purchase isn't it yeah people don't really care unless they've got a problem that's right and how do you actually help them to yeah flag it it's only when they've used us and even then they still sort of then we get away and they don't still don't necessarily think to train their staff in conflict resolution so i would like to see more of that less distressed purchase and more yeah more um yeah do you do any other form of adr i don't i'm not an arbitrator no not really what just talking about adr though i like the idea that it's now being described as appropriate dispute resolution and alternative yeah it's a bit like i've always likened it to the medical field where we've sort of seen a alternative medicine but actually why can't the two exist alongside each other and why can't we just say what's appropriate for this particular client in this particular situation yeah uh so that's a term that is you know that's quite current that people are using and i quite like that yeah i thought there's a a number of people who drop adr we shouldn't call it adr anymore and i'm thinking well don't drop it

"AP sports I'm David Shuster, one game in both the NBA and NHL playoffs Sunday and they were completely different from a competitive standpoint. We start in the NBA with geth and kuba filling us in on Miami and Boston. The Miami Heat cruise to a three O series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after blowing out the Boston Celtics one 28 one O two at home in game three. Gabe Vincent pace the heat with a playoff career high 29 points on 11 of 14 shooting. Caleb Martin added 18 points, Jimmy Butler scored 16 and bam adebayo 13. Boston stars Jayson Tatum and jaylen Brown were held to 14 and 12 points respectively on a combined 12 of 35 shooting. Miami can clinch its second NBA Finals birth in four seasons with a win in game four Tuesday. And now over to hockey with Mark Myers reporting on Las Vegas and Dallas. Chandler Stephenson scored early in overtime to give the golden knights a three to two win over the stars and a two O series lead the knights were able to tie the score in the final minute of regulation on a goal by Jonathan Marshall, Aiden hill made 26 saves in the Vegas nets, Jake Avengers stopped 21 shots for the stars who were now zero in four and overtime games this postseason. Turning to baseball, Houston completed a three game sweep of Oakland Sunday's final two zero and how bad are the a's well they're on pace to lose 138 games which would be a record. Other highlights Sunday Oscar Mercado with 5 RBI St. Louis ten 5 over the Dodgers and Cedric mullin 5 hits Baltimore 8 three over Toronto. To golf and Brooks Koepka won his 5th major title, he won the PGA Championship by two shots. That was good. Yeah, this one's this one's definitely special. I think this one's probably the most meaningful of them all with everything that's gone on, all the other crazy stuff over the last few years, but it feels good to be back and get number 5.

Trump beats the santas in a hypothetical matchup, I mean, excuse me, Trump beats Biden in a hypothetical matchup by 7 points. Desantis beats Biden by the same margin, 7 points.

"Today. I'm going to do something a little different for this installment of your next dive normally tried to take you to a dive destination where we talk about the trip from a number of different perspectives. The travel the lodging the dive operator. Oh yeah the diving. Now we've been around the world. But today i'm going to focus on one particular dive that is almost in our backyard. It is one of the most iconic dives here in new england and that is the wreck of the chester. Polling off gloucester mass. The chester polling was a coastal tanker. That sank in a brutal storm on january tenth. Nineteen seventy seven. The tanker had just left everett massachusetts and was bound for newington new hampshire. That information is pretty consistent in the research but there is other conflicting information about where she had been. And what cargo she delivered for example some documentation said she had previously delivered kerosene to new jersey while others indicated that the heating oil was delivered to everett mass. I would suspect that delivery to everett mass to be more likely always interesting when you Doing research to get this type of inconsistency now the chester polling was bill in nineteen thirty four at mariners harbor new york by united dry docks incorporated it was originally in the plattsburgh sacconi somewhere along the line at also known as the mobile albany before getting renamed as the chester polling at the time of its sinking it was owned by the motor vessel polling brothers and that was number one inc. I wasn't able to find who was actually named after but obviously some member of the family. So that's a little bit of history about the ship now on january tenth. Nineteen seventy seven capital captain. Bert charles burgess was in command. The forecast for that day was for thirty five mile an hour winds along with fifteen to twenty foot seas. the chester polling chester. A polling left. Everett are left everett at six thirty. A m well as we all know. Forecast can be wrong. The winds built up to fifty miles per hour and to seize goddess highs. Thirty feet facing the mounting sees captain. Burge's tried to get more stability by adding more ballast but at ten thirty a m a thirty foot waves smashed into the tanker and broke it in half the captain called for abandoning the ship. Six of the seven members of the crew were saved. I believe it was the cook jail. Derosa from providence rhode island who perished the sir. The stern section of the chester polling came to rest off easter point gloucester originally in about seventy five feet of water with the bow section sinking about four miles off of eastern point in about one hundred ninety feet of water subsequent winter. Storms move the stern section to its present location about eight hundred yards off of eastern point about ninety five feet of water. I think the bottom might be a little bit deeper than that. However the stern section of the chester polling is what some folks call hollywood wreck sitting upright and is probably the most popular wreck dive off. Cape ann as that areas known. Now i- i dove the chester polling way back in july two thousand and five. It was my fortieth dive and a double dip on. The polling was part of my advanced open water class. These dyes would constitute my deep and wreck advanced. Open water dives. At that time. I was still diving in a seven. Millimeter wetsuit with the appropriate gloves and hood. I use the standard aluminum. Eighty tank with nighthawks. Thirty two. I can still remember the anxiety that had doing. The first real wreck dive in the northeast but once in the water what an amazing dive the visibility that day was thirty feet and my max step was at eighty five. Even though it was july the water temperature on iraq was fifty degrees. It was incredible to move along the deck and reach the mid mid ship section where. The tanker broken half absolutely mesmerizing but with an aluminum. Eighty you don't get much bottom time and after about fifteen minutes we headed back to the up line and after are appropriate safety. Stop we climb back aboard the boat and got ready to do it again. Total dive time was twenty six minutes the second dive that day was just as spectacular and pretty much the same profile. Let me just say in a wetsuit. It can get pretty chilly. I didn't go back to the chester polling until august. Two thousand nine and that was my last trip there. It was my two hundred and forty ninth dive but this time i did it in a dry suit and hope to get some good video of iraq. I still dove aluminum. Eighty the dive was just as i remembered and just as exciting visibility again was thirty feet. And my max. Depth was eighty two with and the bottom temperature. That day was forty eight degrees still very cold but so much better in a dry suit again however with an aluminum eighty. You just. Don't get much bottom time especially if your task loading like shooting video so my recommendation is that if you are planning to die the polling you might want to consider a little bit bigger tank something like a steal one hundred or going to doubles. I know that i wouldn't consider going back with anything less than a steel one hundred tank. How do you get to the chester polling back. Then we use cape and divers but they closed up several years ago and recently the dive boat cape and diver to was purchased by several guys from boston. An air now operating regularly chart regular charters again became an diverse to is a forty five foot. us coastguard registered dive vessel. It is spacious and right now with limited divers on board you get plenty of room to get ready and dive but you don't get a lot of but you don't get a lot of time because you don't have a lot of time to get ready because the is only a few minutes from the dock so be prepared one thing. Different about northeast wreck diving. Is that as a diver. You need to bring all your gear that includes tanks weights everything. It's not like diving at a resort. Don't get caught short by not being prepared with all your own stuff now. Here's an interesting element. That i discovered during my research. It appears that in nineteen sixties. The chester polling was length lengthened. By maybe twenty six or so feet. That doesn't sound like much. But at the time of her sinking her length with two hundred and eighty two feet so that lengthening was about ten percent of the original ship's length could this have been a contributing factor for the ship splitting in half. I wonder so if you happen to be in the area of cape ban in gloucester massachusetts. You might wanna look up cape and diver to and head out for a double dip on the chester a

"This is just this. Is their joy moments right right. You know. I must say not that. I'm saying there's anything wrong with strip in. I mean right a stress like pole dancing you use it in a different way and strippers use it in a different way like this is not the episode. Where we're gonna The down to anybody. I mean but if you like to do that and that's you like i guess the thing is what you're i guess what you're trying to say too. Is that people. Ges look at a certain things or because you're doing a certain an activity i would say that's gonna lead to that. No it doesn't doesn't and it all comes down to. I believe whoever is thinking that is their perspective and how they see things and what they believe in their belief system. So it's not really much about you. It's much about the other person's belief system and what they believe. So i would always say like do up makes you happy and ignore the noise. I mean you can get feedback out steve box. Pick the ones out the king you can know when a feedback is coming from a good place. Now when it's coming from a negative plays so you know yeah and plus you only have. I mean for a lot of the girls that i'd take hold classes with or the people who are thinking about it they already are have our internal monologue during the dance. Like always for myself. I can speak for myself like I mean i don't really belong here and then now you have all this external horses. It's like we'll talk the object. Let's do it. Yeah let's just get on. I mean for me i like. Let's just get on this journey already. You know that's on my bucket list. And i'm gonna stay in touch with you because i want to learn this. I know yeah oh yeah you just. Ira can see at you. You on your fingers through your hair or you can do Another type of tone like is just pulled using it can be. It can be sexy. A can be an expression of sadness. It could be expression anger just any emotion. It's just like any other dance but with a metal. Stick okay button. Leads me to my next question. Do you pick your songs of say to dance. To base off your. How do you think your songs. I don't want to use the word emotions. Because i could be wrong. But how do you pick your songs when you're preparing for competition. Actually i'm glad you brought that up because for me would define dance as emotion could into body movement so i picked my songs based off of by emotions or whatever chapter going through in my life like there was a time when i did a comedic dance where i had like a ninety s colorful. Suspender hat with the spinner fan at the top. And i wore suspenders. I were big black glasses. I was supposed to be like a complete dorky nerd on stage. Yeah and the song was call. The song i danced. Who was called powell. I know which is like originally by whitney. Houston but i did the glee version and it was like about me being clumsy and how i feel like this boy will never noticed like oh how will i know. So that's how i came up with. That routine is because in that chapter in my life i had a huge crush on this guy out was thinking. Oh he's never got a notice me. Connor like too dorky for him to notice. I put that into by competition routine and that was the nationals piece. Wow okay hanes. Why rephrase the question and ask with vance in. If it's just that you choose based off your emotions or it's just like arts just look at it then and what i grabbed from it right. So you know for me i would say is an outlet of my immersion. Okay and what comes out of. It is hard to because people are like. Oh that was so beautiful. And i was that he didn't notice me that ballet's actually thing that's the thing with art. That's why i love art so much because it gives me on an extra insight on the person who is looking at the same art. As i am so i will hear their feedbacks and then i can tell i could tell certain things then put it that way over dance. It's a bit tricky to. But i love that you brought that up so it gives me a perspective to look at it right actually so when i look at after a competitor finishes piece. I have a better insight of the person that they are. 'cause if it's like they're they're telling a story via body movement and whatever story they tell i'm thinking by the end of it i'm thinking wow like i just feel like ahead. A peek into more of the personality are yes yes. That's what i want to do with my art too. It's like you kinda saw a glimpse into a chapter of my life. Yes and i will be playing this Video as well well for those who are listening once you see the youtube saying her dance class. It's so beautiful. Like i love it but so everybody can see you know the your talent. 'cause i call that talent lake thang about before i let you go. This is my favorite part of an episode. So one question would ask yourself that. I didn't i. I think you pretty much covered all the bases that i wanted to go over to. I say something. I've asked myself is.

"Motivation. To overcome obstacles our inspirational spiritual and personal growth episodes. Now let's jump in all about devolve wednesday and welcome back to another episode aminu host. Kathy held and joining us. Today is my friend and she is a competitive pole. Dancer in this episode. We'll be talking about some of the misconceptions around pole dancing and she'll be also sharing her personal dance. Journey and lots of gems were dropped. Now let's jump in welcome. I saw thanks for having me. Thank you so much for joining us. So tell us a little bit more about you while i'ma competitive pole dancer for a few years now and i compete on our regional and national levels. Where i've gone first second and third places and isn't the i really enjoy. I do this as a hobby outside of my my nine to five life. It's like a a recreational therapeutic activity for me. So that's how i just like dove into it while i love it me personally like i mentioned in a previous episode that i wanted to try pole dance but when i heard you were doing it. I got super excited for this episode. Like ooh i wanna hear all the details Is i'll tell you all of the okay with anything you're doing. It has its obstacles one or two obstacles that you face and how did you overcome it. I'd say the the first and most biggest obstacle was that. I always thought i was an awkward type of person who dancer already and so pull dancing when i imagine that i imagined graceful salon moving around a pole and for my first couple paul dance classes. I felt like i was not that and it just took practice anti finally got there so yeah. The biggest obstacle was within myself. Just thinking like oh like i. I can test out for fun. But it's not a level. I can ever attain to be that graceful. Wow now so you are experiencing But imposter syndrome as any. We all grow through that at some stage in our lives. One thing though as we were talking earlier. You did mention that you weren't even able to one push up when riot at iphone. That's so awesome. So can you share with us. You of course. So that's actually the second biggest Conception i want to go over. Which was when when. I posted my first poll video. I i got a lot of feedback from girls. Saying like oh. I can never do that. Because i'm not of the right age body type strength level maybe some guys gender and i just wanna say that pole dancing is for everyone because if they can only come to alive for dance competition or even oppo dance class. There's all types of diversities in their of age by type gender Like for myself. I like you said. I can do one pull up. Push up sit up prior to my first dance class and then three and a half months later. I competed in got second place that my first dance competition a year after my first class. I want i at nationals. While look about it's all about evolving low ear a alabama evolving and working on just putting that practice in their says. Yes yes keep going. Yes i love it. Thank you for sharing that on my other question for you. You you mentioned The misconception of coal danson i would say for in my culture is like a huge topic. And there's a whole lot of misconceptions and yes it has to do it. The body you're tall you are but is there any other one that you faced personally. I haven't faced this person. The the third of misconception or obstacle that i can think of that a lot of people go through is that paul dancing is just for a strippers. And i'm lucky that i have a support system from my work from my family from any any new people are made. They don't have any they don't put me down and associate me as being like oh All you do is strip right right right. It's it's really that more so a lot of my girlfriends. They might have broken off or broken marriages relationships or people that they're just seeing in dating because of that because they are always going to link them to so you're going be a stripper later. Unlike that's just this is something that gives them joy. If this is like a creative outlet is something that creates a lot of like a fitness and a community that you can be a part of. And just i mean i. I don't know. I get pretty happy when i'm pulled dancing so why sometimes i wonder like why would you wanna stop your partner.
