A senior ISIS leader was killed in Syria this week by U.S. Military forces, Khalid Al jaburi was responsible for planning ISIS attacks in parts of Europe and turkey. In this week's edition of the hunt with WTO national security correspondent JJ green, doctor Hans Jacobs Schindler, senior director of the counter extremism project, says this was a shadowy figure. According to the official statement released by centcom, who broke the news that he is dead now, he was a senior leader of the ISIS network structure in Syria, but specifically responsible for planning attacks on Europe. And to build up the leadership structure or I would say reconstruct the leadership structure of ISIS in Syria. What do you know about his background? Very little, unfortunately. We are now down to the really rather unknown figures except for the absolute expert community in the area of who these individuals are because there have been quite a few leadership strikes in the past year against ISIS, plus, as you can see over the last couple of weeks, there is a heating up situation with Israel and Iran and the U.S. striking each other. So there is quite a lot of hits going on at this point. What were the circumstances of this killing, Hans? According to publicly released information, the individual wasn't a province on his mobile phone and that highlights also a particular aspect of how these killed by drone strike. How these drone strikes are actually tagged up. There is the mobile phone that kills you. That's what the drones horn into. That's what gets verified that you are the individual that you are.

Biden Blasted for Visiting Ukraine Instead of East Palestine, Ohio
"Welcome back to America first. Thanks very much to Benjamin. Now somebody has written various tomes on various American presidents from an apolitical perspective. Could you just react to the idea of an American president going to another nation in a war zone albeit like Kyiv and Ukraine at a time when politics is so divisive at home and people are suffering in the east Palestine, Ohio. What are the presidential optics of this like? I have to say, and you and your listeners would know, I tended to be highly critical of this president, but I think he was right to go. And I commend him for going. I think it is hyperbole to compare it to the most publicized visits of president Kennedy and president Reagan to western Berlin. And they were outstanding speakers and mister Biden is not. But I think I would defend him on the charge of going there when there are bad things in the United States and I think it's a scandal that he has not gone to east Palestine, Ohio. But you can do both, you know. But on president's day on premises, is there something a little bit piquant about him going on president's day? I thought that was maybe I'm being naive, but I thought that was more or less of an accent. I mean, it just a scheduling thing. The fact that he went on president's day, I wouldn't read a great deal into that. I mean, it's as good a day as any other to go. And there's no reason that a president can't be out of the country on that day. And presidents do travel and part of their mandate is to uphold the American position in the world and defend American national interests in the world. And

What? Yes. The motorcade Jackie Kennedy president Kennedy, the right there, a picture that was in and out had not yet had November 23 on the back of it. It was taking the morning at love field. What's crazier? The fact that that photo was in the CD or that someone was buying a bachman Turner overdrive seating. Now that's a whole different philosophical argument at that point.

But you think about that in terms of putting a picture they went and let the FBI look at it and they could confirm the originality of it is one that had never been published. It was a photo out of all those pictures and the amazing photos in my show. It had never been it's a photo that had never been. Did anyone come forward saying that's my photo or anything like that? No, I read part of the article in the guy said it was just, you know, it was in there. That's unbelievable.

So that's something that we're also really supporting. And our global partners they're not just putting capital in. They're putting stuff in. They're putting expertise in. They're opening up their supply chains. And what's interesting is when we think about the world of metric capitals and entrepreneurs, they're all doing some really cool things. But we're talking literally about saving the world. Saving the planet, earthshot. We talk about moonshots, right? Like doing the unthinkable. This is about existence for everyone. And that's what you talk about oceans and earth and energy. I mean, this is what we're talking about. That is, you know, one of the things to think about is this is the 60th anniversary of the moonshot. And Prince William was really influenced by president Kennedy's moonshot challenge to the American people. Because it did two things. He didn't just challenge them to land a man on the moon and bring them home safely. When we knew none of the answers to how to do that, what actually happened was it unleashed a wave of innovation that shaped economic and social progress. And maybe more importantly, he unleashed a new mindset in the American people, which was we can turn the seemingly impossible possible. We have to make this the earth shot decades, and we have to unleash that mindset again. We have innovation all over the world happening. We've got to believe we can do this and change the trajectory of the planet and it will take all of us. That was Hannah Jones. She's chief executive officer at the earthshot prize. She spoke with Carol at the earthshot prize innovation summit this past Wednesday. The event was hosted by Michael R Bloomberg, the founder and owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg radio, and the UN secretary general's special envoy on climate ambition and solutions. The summit brought together heads of state, government, and civil society leaders, philanthropists, business executives and grassroot climate activists from around the world.

Starfish Prime: Going Nuclear Over the Pacific
"Nineteen fifty eight to september nineteen sixty one but the soviet union and the united states voluntarily put a moratorium on all nuclear testing president.

The soviet union announced that they were going to unilaterally resume testing in response to this. The united states hastily through together what was called operation. Dominic operation dominic was a series of thirty one nuclear tests conducted in the pacific within operation. Dominic was a subset of eleven high altitude nuclear test. Called operation fishbowl. United states had done high altitude tests before in the nineteen fifties operation. Hard tack one. Head launched weapons as highest seventy six kilometers and they were quite large maxing out.

"I have and i'm curious if you guys think that this matters at all anymore is we're going to watch the primaries play out over the fall and spring and the parties are going to choose which candidates they want to run in these in these upcoming midterms. How much does candidate quality matter like getting a good candidate with experience. Who fits the district. Commodore we're gonna be able to tell through the fall and spring. How the parties are faring. I think matters. It's not the thing. But i think the fact that trump is going to be a force in the republican primaries and probably put his thumb on the scale in a way that leads to overall a weaker stable of gop candidates than would otherwise arise. That could cost bekker's problem. So i wanna just challenge assertion. Do you think that trump getting involved in primaries is gonna leave republicans with weaker general auction candidates. Yep yes okay. Fair enough fair again. It's also kind of get back to basics here. Historically is a very robust pattern that the president's party loses ground in the midterms but they're also predicates to that pattern such as the fact that when a party loses the presidency they tend to shift away from the messaging of the now failed president kennedy because it was kind of proven to be stale or unpopular are unsuccessful if the gop is doubling down on a losing message granted message. They didn't lose by that much but still losing message. John kerrigan lose by that much. Democrats did not double down on john. Kerry your hillary clinton after she lost narrowly in twenty sixteen second of arguably violates one of the premises on which is historical. Midterm penalty is built but gop is in a quite literal way rejecting the notion that trump even lost. That might be. Actually i think a decent reason to throw some degree of precedent out the window. So there will be district's for example where it would help republicans to nominate some chamber of commerce republican who doesn't say outlandish things and blah blah blah blah blah and. There will be a more trump aligned candidate in that district who could win with the trump endorsement. Which we've seen can make a difference. So let's say that costs republicans two seats three seats. The some small amount of seeds. I think given everything we know..

David Rice Atchison: President For A Day?
"Rice was a democratic senator from the state of missouri. He served in the senate for twelve years from eighteen. Forty three to eighteen fifty five. He had a reputation for being extremely pro. Slavery he owned. Slaves supported all of the slave state issues in the run up to the civil war and when the war finally commenced he served in the confederate army as a brigadier general commanding missouri troops. So he's not the finest of people to sit in the upper chamber of congress. Quite frankly if it wasn't for the events that i'll be discussing this episode david. Rice atchison would probably be mostly forgotten to history i. I came across his name years ago and children's book of fun facts which said that he was the president of the united states for one day. This fact has been repeated on and off for over one hundred and fifty years in fact the words president of the united states for one day are on his tombstone in missouri as sort of a testament to his greatest achievement. So is this true. Was david rice. Atchison really the president of the united states for a single day to answer the question. We need to understand exactly what happened in the election of eighteen. Forty eight week party. Candidate zachary taylor comfortably. Defeated democrat lewis. Cass and free soil candidate. Martin van buren incoming president. James polka made a pledge to seek a single term in office and he honored that pledge by not. Running taylor was a career military man who had never expressed any political opinions prior to the election. And in fact he had never voted. He had a great deal of success as a general during the mexican american war which led to his popularity in calls for him to run for president. He wasn't fact recruited by both the whigs and the democrats. The two major political parties at the time to seek office prior to the passage of the twentieth amendment to the constitution the president and all members of congress would take office at noon on march fourth. This lengthy lame duck period made more sense when everyone had to travel by horseback. And that's why was eventually changed. Nonetheless march fourth was the date everyone took office in eighteen forty nine march fourth landed on a sunday. Zachary taylor being a devout man. Didn't want to have his inauguration ceremony. Take place on the sabbath so he postponed one day until monday. March fifth is vice. President millard fillmore also delayed his oath of office until march fifth according to the law at the time which was the presidential succession act of seventeen ninety to the next person in line to the presidency after the vice president was the president pro. Temporary of the united states senate. The vice president is technically the president of the senate. The president pro temporary is the person who presides over the senate when the vice president is not present. The president temporary was david rice. Atchison at the time the position was actually a competitive election today. The president pro temporary is just the senior ranking member of the majority party in the senate. So the argument is that because neither zachary taylor nor millard fillmore didn't take the oath of office on march fourth and waited until march fifth that they weren't president from noon on march fourth until noon on march fifth. That means that the next in line would have been the president pro. Temporary of the senate david rice. So is this true and does this argument. Hold water. The answer is pretty clear in the answer is no and there are a whole bunch of reasons. Why this is the case. I while the constitution does stipulate that the president and the vice president must take the oath of office it only says quote before he enters upon the execution of his office unquote. This is legal hair-splitting but it means before president can do anything presidential e- sign a law. Appoint officials signed a treaty etc. They must i take the oath of office however they can still be the president before taking the oath to illustrate the point. President kennedy was shot at twelve thirty pm on november. Twenty second nineteen sixty three. He was declared dead at one thirty three. Pm and lyndon johnson took the oath of office on air force one at two thirty eight pm. The moment president kennedy was dead. Or at least claire dead. Lyndon johnson became the president in the same way that someone becomes a king the moment the old king dead even if they haven't been coronated. The oath of office is just a way to legally unlock the powers of the presidency after becoming president. As i said this is legal hair-splitting and for all practical purposes it doesn't really matter but for the twenty four hour period before the oath of office zachary. Taylor was the president. If there was an emergency you could have quickly taken the oath of office in private and without a public ceremony and dealt with the crisis as president. The second argument as to why atkinson was never president is that he never took the oath of office. Either if taylor is in president. Because he didn't take the oath of office than atkinson also can't be president by the same logic. The third argument is that he officially wasn't the president pro. Tempore e of the senate. He was the president pro temporary during the previous session of congress. His term expired on march fourth at noon. Just like the presidential term. Did he needed to be reelected again. On march fifth which he was moreover. This wasn't the first time that this had happened in eighteen. Twenty one james monroe delay taking the oath by a day for the exact same reason yet known assumes that someone else was president for a day at johnson himself never claimed to be president at the time. No one seriously thought he was the president. And there's nothing in the congressional record to indicate that he was there are no constitutional scholars presidential historians or even atkinson's owned biographer. Who thinks that he was actually president at best. If you applied a very strict rule to the taking of the oath to become president then you could maybe say that there was a one day interregnum where there was no president but it doesn't follow that atkinson was president.

Um, yeah. Sales tax. I mean, most states have the, uh, leave Florida. They do not have a capital gains tax, for example, or state income tax. They don't have any income tax, either. So when you look at the statistics that's published by the Internal Revenue Service about Were capital gains of being paid. You see that people move to Florida? In order to sell capital gains. It is a tremendous advantage. In fact, the states with the highest capital game sales in the country are in No tax states. It is pretty obvious, but if you know what if, if somebody without really high network If they could avoid, you know, paying a very large amount to the state. It is a great advantage to moving, and that's what a lot of this data really points to. Right. And, of course, I mean, whether could be a little bit of a factor. But look, I I remember, um Mrs Mrs Kennedy, President Kennedy's and Ted Kennedy's mom. Um she was a Florida resident. I mean, people who have developed portfolios or people who earn a lot of money. They're not dumb and and they don't like what they consider to be confiscatory taxes and And they're a lot of people who decide to move to New Hampshire and plus this that case now in New Hampshire with people from New Hampshire who used to commute to Massachusetts daily five days a week to work in Massachusetts. I don't know that we're going to could be able to continue to tax those people. If they're working remotely from home as they happen, you know, really, really raised the quake subject the again because there was a case filed. By New Hampshire Governor Saludo in October, and it has to do with the fact that meant the state of Massachusetts made a decision. Their Department of Revenue made the decision that they would tax people who were working from home who live in New Hampshire there working for companies and Massachusetts. And so this is a This case has been brought to the United States Supreme.

Biden signs executive orders addressing the economy
"Biden has turned to executive orders in his first days of office says he looks to address the economic crisis brought on by the pandemic. He's also pursuing a massive coronavirus aid bill Can Walsh White House and political analyst for U. S. News and World Report joined w. T. O. P S John Aaron to break down Biden's first few days in office and some of the past presidents he resembles well particular FDR going back a long way to 1933 when he first became president. He had a huge depression to deal with the worst economic calamity we've ever had, and his philosophy was similar to what Biden seems to be doing action action action. The country wanted the president to do something to act boldly. And you seeing that with President Biden again today with executive orders. They're going to continue indefinitely pushing this $1.9 trillion stimulus bill moving to try many different things to get the economy corrected, but mostly to get the coronavirus under control and to get the vaccines out. That's his first priority right now. And probably should be given how difficult that issue is for people to deal with very quickly on Lyndon Johnson. Of course, he took over after President Kennedy was assassinated. He also wanted to show action himself, particularly in areas of diversity and racial justice with writing is also doing so. I would say those two presidents come to mind and you see a lot of echoes in what Biden is doing when you compare them to Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. The president, of course pitches himself is a compromise or experienced in the Senate. But we're hearing that some Republicans say there's no way they're gonna go for some of the elements and at one point trillion $1.9 trillion.8 bills. So where does this go? I think the thing we have to remember here, of course, is that this is vital opening bid in his attempt to get a lot of this legislation through. He's been around a long time. 36 years in the Senate years as vice president, he is known as a guy who knows how the Congress works. And so I think we have to realize that this is his the start of the neck. Negotiations started the deal making there are not good signs from the Republicans that they'll go along with him. There's a lot of pushback of the same time he's getting the sense from the left on his in his party to push further in government activism, and so on, So it is a difficult line. He's walking here, but I think That there's the potential particularly initially here that he will come to some kind of a compromise. It'll be difficult, but what he's got out there now is sort of the whistle ist. I think when he gets to the real bargaining, I think he's gonna have to borrow back off from a lot of that. But I think it's possible

"John McConnell, he took office in the height of the Cold War. On while we think of that Ask not phrases in calling us to action for our own country. In fact, most of the speech was about foreign policy issues. What are your observations about the speech? Well, my general observation courses that is the work of a highly literate, educated man with it with a natural sense of the English language that was basically unmatched in his generation of politicians. Ted Sorensen was a beautiful Writer on a modest man always gave credit to the president himself. And and we know from the documents and from some of the books that have been written about the speech that it really woz, uh, John F. Kennedy's best in that speech. That collaboration was Sorenson was very important, but I think it was, uh, think Kennedy edited the speech. Something like 30 Times. While delivering it alterations from the text. He was just the person with a natural sense of how words sounded. You know what? What? What? What? What The cadence should be What? What The choice of words should be, and he could make snap decisions in delivery. And it all just came together in a beautiful piece of work that anyone who's worked on a presidential inaugural address Comptel you is of Very, very hard to do. As you say it was mostly about foreign policy and about America's place in the world. Harris Wofford, the late senator from Pennsylvania, on had a small role. In that speech. There was a line where President Kennedy talked about the human rights that America seeks to advance around the world, and the sentence was changed to include the words at home on. So that was that was Harris Wofford's influence. Um, And he was simply hoping in doing that, Uh, to have the inaugural address, Uh, make a reference to civil rights here in the United States Secretary. I'm going to move on to 1969 in the first Nixon administration to set the stage. And perhaps some parallels to today, massive protests going into it over Vietnam. Both conventions disrupted with violent protests. Hey, was the only president of 20th century to be defeated and then come back to win as he took the oath, he said in his memoirs. The major theme of his speech was going to be peace Protesters line Pennsylvania Avenue rocks were thrown at the presidential limo as he moved between the White House. And Capitol Hill 81. People arrested 12 injured, including one policeman, So that's the background for what we're going to hear. Next. From January. 20th 1969 1st Nixon Inaugural. When we listen to the better angels of our nature, we find the face celebrate the simple things. The basic things such as goodness, decency, love, kindness. Greatness comes in simple trappings. The simple things are the ones mostly to today. If we are just amount, what devices and cement what unites us to lower our voices would be a simple thing. And these difficulty years America has suffered from a fever of words from inflated rhetoric of promises more than it can deliver from.

"And I I you know, they're just they're just many instances of this. Biden, of course, has a syriza of crises and challenges of his own. But you know, you go back to history, and there's just many instances of presidents having to deal with these things. And so I get back. Go back to the point that if he's confident Pointing forward and speaks about principles and maybe even a little bit about American history. As as many presidents have done in his inaugural address, he'll set just the right tone for his administration. Going forward Sara to Perry, John McConnell mentioned that the audiences will be much larger for incoming president buying for for this speech. But I'm wondering what are the key audiences that this and any inaugural adjust really aimed toward. Well, you know, inaugural address is not. It's no longer a campaign speech, right? I mean, it is. It is an efficient is the president's first official address. Um, you know, it's not not a coronation, but it is. It is the moment when a president is becoming the president of all Americans. He's no longer just speaking to Democrats, and he's no longer speaking against Republicans. And so in a way, unlike many other speeches, this speech is, you know, directed towards the the the American people, but also actually the world. You know you're in a way, asking you to minimize the audience. But actually, I would argue that this speech has a global audience because the world is looking for what this new leader will bring. What will a new president Biden and his administration bring? And you know their fortunes rest on that, too, And so I think for any speech you want to consider what sort of the emotional heart center is on D. I think in this moment when our country is so divided, he needs to come back to those first principles is, John said, and, you know, speak about the values that bind us well, being extremely clear eyed about the things that at the moment are, um, are causing such division. But I think he does need to be mindful of, frankly, the vastness of the audience. That doesn't mean that he's offering different messages to those audiences. I think that if he sort of speaks about that affirmative vision that he has, it will reach all audiences and what is unique about Joe Biden? I think among a lot of politicians is that what you see is what you get. He is he is himself. He has been the same person that has been in public life for for as long as he's been in public life. And so I think we will. We will see that essence again on this on the biggest stage of his life. John McConnell. How important is speaking to history when you're crafting an inaugural address? Well, you know, I used to get that question when I was writing speeches for President Bush, and I always tried to Tohno the subject, because if you're thinking about history in writing a speech, it doesn't help in the process. You really need to keep focused on on the project at hand and on on putting you Best thoughts down and getting getting the president's voice history. You know, people look back and inaugural addresses on. Do you know they set the stage in a certain sense for administrations? But for most presidents, their most significant speech was not their inaugural address. People go back to them. But I can't think of many presidents, uh, of whom the typical American would say, boy that Inaugural address. That was That was the thing I remember about him. There's just there's very few of them. Um, so it's Zaveri important speech, but it's part of Ah, narrative arc of that President. Uh on and it uh, you know, Joe Biden will say things that are much more newsworthy within a few days of being inaugurated. Uh, but that speech, I think It just needs to be forward looking conversational in tone. I don't think that people are looking for in the times. We live in high oratory. They're just looking for, uh, I think right now, especially a really good sense of the man. And that's why Sarah is right about the world watching as well. People of his very curious about about this man who they're familiar with. But I've never seen in this role. Well, sorry to Perry, following up on John McConnell's point, if Lincoln's second inaugural is considered the greatest of all times, are there any other gold standard presidential inaugural speeches that US speechwriters might go back and study if you were given this task? Oh, sure, I mean, you know, I think it's actually to John's point is actually worth going back and reading as many of them as one can. If you're preparing this address, or just if you're interested in History in general, because, well, a few of them stand out in a sort of together when you read them, they offers a snapshot or really a pastiche in American history. You know, you get a sense of what these leaders were dealing with, sort of in context. And so they're worth reviewing. Um, you know, I think FDR's first inaugural was quite remarkable and again coming in a time of crisis coming out of the Hoover administration, and at a moment when the American people were true. We in crisis, you know lines, 100 lines and people have lost their jobs in the banks were growing under and it was a really horrible time for the American people. And for so long they have been feeling as though there was nothing that could be done about it. And so again, not even talking specifically about programs. What what FDR did, there was injected sense of possibility. Not sort of, you know, wide eyed, naive possibility, but a sense of the people having agency again, and that was a huge sort of Hone shit from from the Hoover Administration, so that I think that is sort of one of your gold standards. Obviously, JFK's inaugural is widely considered to be particularly beautiful one and again had a particular tone about it. And you know when Ted Sorensen, his longtime speechwriter and thought partner, wrote in his biography of Kennedy, sort of what the process was like, and they have been collecting fragments of ideas and phrases. And he had had to dip into that in order to write President Kennedy's farewell speech to Massachusetts when you left the Senate and had wanted to, But then, when he then and then President Kennedy asked him to read previous inaugurals and found that he found that most of them, which is not all that great, But the one thing, he noted, was that they were also very long and so his goal was to make President Kennedy's short as possible, and it ended up being the shortest censuses Teddy Roosevelt's, but again, I think he sees it as an opportunity. Offer in his room division of what America could be What we're turning away from sort of what we have been going through. You know, we're Postwar generation. Now we're sort of seizing upon a community and we're trying to sort of inject this idea not just of the community of our country that a community of nations and you know, introducing this idea of what citizenship really is. So I think for for a bunch of reasons, the Kennedy and our heroes is Concerted gold standard on depressant Obama and his reason them or was it about his own experience with his first night, Dylan and you know had Soerensen was kind enough to speak to the speech writers and president Obama himself says, You know, his first inaugural was no Kennedy inaugural, but he felt like it was reflected his honest conviction about what America out to be.

"Net with Dr Gallo Well in Hobson licensed psychologists in Norman for over 40 years, and we're talking about the psychology of compromise. And as I was thinking of, how do you get people to listen or work together? I thought of two people sitting side by side in a rowboat. And if they don't listen to one another. If they don't work together, they're just going to go around in circles. Perfect example. Perfect because it is so true. You know, there's there's such a thing is that positive compromise? There's negative compromises, too, but a positive compromises and attained. When when an agreement is reached that, um turns out to be in the best interest of everyone involved. So you can think of a million examples of that with teenagers. When we're raising our kids. We compromise all the time. Because if you got too rigid, they didn't work very well. So you said Oh, you have to be in by 10 and they said 12, and you ended up in 11. You know, you compromise you found something that would work for everyone and heaven a net game. S O compromise. What we know it does. It brings peace. And if if, if neither person is willing to compromise, you have no hope of peace. And that's kind of where we've been going in. We've had a nation. To get out to the bigger picture. We've had a nation when we're so little compromise. There's been non compromised, which is very dangerous. That's what we've been living through that polarization. You're right. Oh, yeah. So of course, you know, we don't want to compromise on our basic values or integrity. We all that's a weakness. We all wanna hold too. What? What We find whatever we whatever it is to you What your basic values and integrity. You see that as that's good to hold to that, But it's a sign of weakness. If you are so rigid about that. That you can't reach across and find a way to Find some harmony and in some Some really sometimes even have to make a little bit of a sacrifice. Not awake this, But if it's equal sacrifice people are okay. Yeah, that becomes a greater strength. Stand yes toward to the hole, and that's really what we want to build is a mess, but everyone wanna Always used that term float all boats. We want all boats to rise. Yes, you know, not leave behind those that that for whatever reason, they just didn't get what another person got. And I have to take a second. At this point. I won't take long, but it had to personalize a little bit about what a A child of a good government is. Because I think that's what I am. And I think that's what my siblings are. We really came we we achieved because of good government. You know, For one thing, we were all started early being interesting politics. I remember very young working for President Kennedy but mainly Coming from a family that had some problems had some times when you broke hungry, so they were commodity foods that at that time, it was embarrassing to take, but we wait Became not hungry based on a government that provided some of that. And when I couldn't tell you, I went all the way from undergraduate freshman year through PhD. Literally and in the end paid back $5000. Wow, that was paying my home. I went my own way all the way through. That's incredible. Yeah, And that's because the government stepped in with loans and work, study and scholarships, and I can work my way through. 12 13 years of of college to a PhD and Yes. Because the government was there. And my Sibley's siblings all got master's degrees the same way. What a great investment too. Yeah, and we all get we've I hope I think we've all given back. We've been contributors and not, you know, not the other way around. And that's what what good government does and what we do for people. You You remember that commercial on television? Remember it so clearly. And it talked about a child's mind is a terrible thing to waste. Yes. And that's really what we've got to get back to. You is finding a way that no matter what your democratic Democrat Republican or or whatever you are, um, that we all pulled the same way. Like you said with the rowboat. Yes, well, you know, I hate that we are so deep, polarizing. As a nation in you know, I guess that's how you get your followers to win. So how do you How do you convince people? It's better to compromise Is that the psychology of it? Yeah, well, I think a lot of it is your willingness to have this show. You know, I'm so impressed. You said back.

Must Read: Stillness Is The Key by Ryan Holiday
"A lot of people here. The title stillness is sticky. And you think that your some sort of you know Buddhist monk that has no emotion that's not really Producing modern things in the world. Maybe a little bit old fashioned. No stillness is a sense of calm intercom that we often experience when we're in the zone. I remember when I was playing basketball competitively when I was younger. There's a sense of stillness. When things are just going right the game almost slows down for you. It's like everything becomes a little bit easier and I'm running up and down the court so it's not like I'm not moving. My body armor not being active. It's an inner stillness. It's a sense of common sense of confidence that you have. You can be an extreme action taker and still possessed stillness. That Ryan talks about now. If you're listening to this podcast you're like you know what Omar I'll have tried to meditate. I try to really habit. Stillness it's just not for me. This book is not about meditation. It goes way beyond that. It's more about how to make an informed decision. Whenever you're not a high stakes game situation. He gives countless examples. The one I remember off the top of my head is President Kennedy making really tough decisions during the Cuban missile crisis and how he exercise inner stillness to make sure he made the right decision and saved a lot of lives. He also gives examples from Steve Jobs and other modern day entrepreneurs so normally at the end of this kind of episode St Episode. Until you read this book because Xyz. I'M GONNA get in front of a renowned. Say The reason why you need to read. This book is because as an entrepreneur. You're constantly making decisions on a daily basis job as the leader of a company and you want to make sure that you're making more right decisions that wrong decisions and we often make wrong decisions when we're flustered when we don't have that peace of mind when we have that anxiety when we have that sense of imbalance we WANNA make sure that we're constant making clear headed decisions with a bigger small because they all have some sort of domino effect in our business. This is the main reason why this book is Worth Reading. Because of that fact alone you make decisions on the daily right always if your state of mind is not in the right place. It's GonNa Affect those decisions now. The second big reason why you need to read this book as an entrepreneur is business is stressful and you need to learn how to manage that. Stress can't get rid of the stress as long as you're in business you're going to have stress. But how do we manage it? How do I make sure it doesn't affect our personal health if we don't take care of our personal health and manage stress? No-one will okay. And if you're in bad shape your businesses in shape. You are the captain of the ship and the ship goes down when you do so understanding how to manage that stress especially in that moment when you're in that stressful moment is important in this book gives you incredible insights but thirdly this book is more about wisdom than actual you know having some sort of zen attitude. How do you become a wise person? Somebody who really has a ritual a routine of really gathering the facts and making the right decisions and make the right judgments about what's going to happen in the future and I feel. This book really covers all three now. I want to tell you this book is a how to guide is not like a common stillness and wisdom for dummies. You know it's not a ABCD now you're wise. No and if it was that way everybody would be wise. Be So simple. It asks you to ask them two questions of yourself to reflect absorb the information. This is not like a book you can zoom through you read. You think you ponder it takes some time to get through a chapter because forces you to think about how does supply in my own life. Am I doing these things? One of my caught in these traps that type of stuff. I found it very helpful to read this book before bed puts me in a great state of mind kind of good a bed with a little bit more wisdom a little bit more communists and I wake up the next morning. Ready to take on and implement the stuff. I just read last night. One of the big takeaways early on his book. Is this idea of having an empty mind and living in the moment The best parallel abyss example. Gibson's book is like when you were child when you were a kid and used to play outside. You didn't think about tomorrow. You didn't think about yesterday. You just thought about that moment. You just enjoyed the moment. You lived that moment whether you're playing tag or playing baseball with your friends or whatever it was when I was a kid I used to love to draw on the color and I remember clearly when I was doing those activities. I was just really interested in seeing that drawing. Come together or coloring in coloring book or that page in the coloring book now I was just enjoying it in the moment and just seeing it all happen. I didn't think about. What did I draw yesterday? I didn't think about what am I gonNA do tomorrow. And that whole worry mind was never there. And he's encouraging US and giving us some techniques to get back to that because that's when you're really living when you're enjoying the present moment a lot of us entrepreneurs we always are looking to the future always looking to what's going to happen next week next month. This quarter rig ahead or goals or targets all that. Kinda stuff right. We can't help but do that. We're we're goal driven and I'm not saying to stop it completely but I'm going to say that don't always do that. Give yourself time to enjoy the moment. The moment that you're in right now building your business for me. The moment right now is recording. This podcast episode. You know I have the privilege of having the ability to get up and do a podcast and have been doing it for six years of growth an audience and it's great to share what I've learned and and Hopefully help other people and most of us. We don't really take the time to think about that and really enjoy every day. Every moment that we're doing our thing in our business building our business making calls writing emails getting on webinars creating sales pages whatever. It is really appreciating that most of us are thinking. When is this going to be done? What's next what's the next thing to do? In my opinion it has to be a balance. You have to think of the things you have to do in the future otherwise. You're not going to get anything done. You HAVE A to do list. But when you're doing the to do's be president at to be president a moment realizing the moment. Hey I'm privileged to be able to start a business. This is not feasible for some people in the world. You'd be able to do this to have the finances to have the time to have the ability to have the opportunities that we don't realize is if you know the English language and I'm assuming you do because you're listening to this podcast you are privy and you are made available to so much knowledge on the Internet books that are published in English or Sony. Books that are not translated in other languages Especially the things that just get published brand new books on a subject and you get that edge. That's a blessing. It's incredible so by doing that by living in the moment you tend to have more gratitude and that's why generally children or more happy okay. Now of course that's not the case for all children but if you look back on your kid you were generally happier because you weren't worrying about the future or dwelling about the past you're like hey things are all right. You know. I'm eating my Peter Murphy Jelly Sandwich and watching some cartoons and You know and you just were happy in the moment and this is a really important point. I know I'm I'm harping on a lot. But because a lot of entrepreneurs were building rebuilding or grow or try and make more money. We're trying to build our revenue and all that kind of stuff is great but we enjoy. The journey happens is at ten twenty thirty years ago by and we say hey the best years of my life I spent doing. What did I enjoy that? I actually appreciate it. Did I recognize that? Those are the prime years of my life. Time flies by okay so let's make sure that we live in that moment.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall
"Reagan today a tribute to the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall it's on a site overlooking the location where president Reagan delivered his legendary speech imploring Mister Gorbachev tear down this wall well that was quite a memory anyway we have our Westwood One news correspondent jazz Henry standing by live in Berlin this morning so jazz good morning to you are actually good afternoon to you or early it's about it's about mid day right now and that was nineteen eighty seven the president Reagan made that speech at the Brandenburg gate two years later not necessarily a direct cause and effect a correlation but two years later the walking down we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of that to your tomorrow so it would that was a big big celebration the whole world celebrated with the with the German people when that happened but you know then they came to review the reality of reuniting east and West Germany and integrating them into the society of Europe so she was very celebratory van what's it like now sh well people are still happy particularly those who were alive at the time they can contrast what East Germany was like at the time and what it's like now but there a lot of people been born since then and some of them living in the eastern parts of Germany I feel that still yet today the economy is not as vibrant in that part of the country job opportunities perhaps educational opportunities don't match what's that exists in the west some people in the government here are admitting that there were some mistakes made when that they actually unified the east was just sort of brought into the western constitution there's some other things that might have been done differently but say it's hard to completely second gas because compared to many countries around the world be Germany has in you know what might seem a long time were short time depending on your view thirty years brought about quite to impress the reunification so are we listen to your montage that you made for us just a couple of minutes ago and at the end the woman was saying that the people in the east still don't feel I guess equal economically you know to the west is did you find that I've talked to some of people living in the eastern part of the country who formerly lived under the the old government and of course they say you know life is better now that we can travel you know we're not so contained and there's not be a network but foreman's that's one has to worry about the Stasi security service keeping an eye on everyone but they said that in the old west and East Germany there was sort of a collective mindset and neighborhood mindset that it was sort of grew from the better aspects of the communist ideal of people helping each other they say when they became in essence taken over by the west that said you know the capitalist system of every person out for themselves doggy dog what was hard to get used to and a lot of people particularly were sort of mid career at that time had a hard time making the jump of the sort that angle Americal has made a force you she's been chancellor here for fourteen years originally an east German but she's really more the exception than the rule in how well easterners have done but there are signs that slowly the economy salaries and such in the east are improving to up Terry T. with the west but that's still not the case chancellor Merkel of course open wide the the doors of Germany to refugees and a lot of them ended up in Berlin and we have young people the young workers coming from all across Europe in into Berlin so what are the company's able to hire them well they they into at both related and many of them into the eastern part of Germany someone in the in the western parts but she needs to Germany because of the period under communism they didn't become as multicultural as West Germany did West Germany brought in the guest workers from Turkey for instance in the nineteen seventies and so in the east there are people who are feeling you know I should be paid more for the work that I do there should be better opportunities and look there these people who don't look like me being brought into our city to be settled yeah they're probably going to compete for the same jobs and that's led to some dissatisfaction three mentioned the the unveiling or the showing of the statue of Ronald Reagan today what other kinds of celebrations are being planned well there's a big party is scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Brandenburg gate course the Brandenburg gate is where president Kennedy spoke in nineteen sixty three or call each bin ein Berliner speech president Reagan as we mentioned in nineteen eighty seven it's been the center of the city sense the eighteen hundreds of sort of ceremonial center so there will be a big concert there now there's some possibility it might be raining so that I could have it have an impact but as you can imagine that since this is Germany there'll be classical music and this is the evening wears on there will be a lot of like trying to dance music but if everyone were looking to see what sort of crowd might come out for that tree even putting the weather aside but I'm guessing it's probably a larger major going to be an older crowd people who remember the it's just the amazement of what happened November ninth nineteen eighty nine so we still have a lot of American troops in Germany and course all around Europe but in in Germany so are they are they showing up for either out in the streets for this I'm not seen any so far interestingly I was at a government events government sponsored event last night and the culture minister of Germany made up points to talk about how appreciative Germany in particular Germans of of her age work for the American support immediately after the wall fell and it came as a surprise to many people what happened afterward it might have been something short of reunification she said she was saying that they could be some sort of confederation or alliance but she said that president George H. W. bush was

CEO Let's talk a little bit about your theme this year it's called what's next why what's next and what is next so what's next is that so we're looking for faster growth in the future then in the past and but what's next is the growth the economy goes for the stock market what do you mean economy and and what I think is that when you think about the turmoil that's taking place in the stock market now and everyone is afraid that's you know and people have higher amounts of cash and they've ever had before in Europe they have negative interest rates people so concerned is eighteen central banks can in Rio do there The interesting United States are have been going down the way I think about it though is that the stock market today is pretty much the same values nations that it was in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and sixteen point six times earnings or sixteen point five times earnings then then was amidst turmoil you had the city's on fire the national guard the streets are trying to keep law and order yet the Vietnam War protests women's rights protesting so so everything was it's a mess but but really sticks and the assassination of President Kennedy swapping my office about I have a lot of younger people mouse and they said tell me about this assignations sixties and people said well John Kennedy said anyone else and they said I don't know it was Martin Luther King in one thousand nine six eight and Robert Kennedy Nineteen Sixty eight they tried to get George awesome so so there was turmoil and it was a concern that that the country was going to survive but the stock market then was thousands on Al Jones is now twenty six or twenty seven thousand twenty six times the economy then was eight hundred and fifty billion is now twenty one point three trillion twenty five times so all you had to do this believe that this country was going to survive and invest then and you would have made twenty five hundred money and so I think that what's going to happen in the next fifty years of course I'll be one hundred twenty six by then and you can reach me at Barron Funds Dot Com they will know where uh-huh and but but I'm thinking about the next the next fifty years it's going to be similar to the last fifty years that'd be twenty five times or money if you invest now and and and even better is that interest rates today or one and a half percent one point six percent for ten years they're normally four and a half percent for ten years you have platform investments now so it used to be when I was young and you wanted to make money you'd build a factory for a million dollars or hotel and then maybe eight hundred thousand one hundred fifty thousand after you take the risk of putting up a million and so but now you've you've come into capital late business you have technology I therefore other people giving you money writing off have platform built you could be a licensor people could be using your business in the cloud and then all of a sudden you start getting revenues and that revenue you just seventy eighty ninety percent margin that's worth more than a earnings per share company without having put up the capital people finding some of these two so you can do it exactly so it's capital low interest rates the technology technology is making businesses grow faster because and and also it's it's making your costs be lower and then knowledge knowledge is growing the fastest pace than it's ever grown and it used to be one hundred years ago that knowledge doubled every hundred years and then after World War Two it was twenty five years and now it's every eighteen months and with the Internet of things going knowledge is going to double according to IBM every eight hours or twelve hours knowledge humankind but when when you look at our growth that we've seen to this point a lot of people say our economy is just stuck in a slower growth economy we're never going to be able to grow faster pace we've seen it pick up a little bit over the last several you ears but why isn't reflected in the numbers why isn't the economic growth stronger because you're right information technology all of these different ways of increasing our productivity are it's not reflected in government numbers right now people are afraid well you're in one of these the economy doesn't go like this it goes like this and and so the result to that whenever goes down people say this is it this is the end I better get out and so all these people watch remote show in the morning and everyone talks about well the stock market invested
