Adjanys Marrero Talks Sharing Your Message With Authenticity
"Would be a good question for anybody listening to ask themselves if they have something, a brand, a product, something that they want to offer to people? Like, what would be a good question for them to say, how do I share this or how do I market this? I hate the word market. Like, I wish we could come up with a better word than marketing, you know, because it always makes me think of, like, car salesmen, you know, like, as soon as you walk in, like, you get hit with, like, you know, sorry to all the car salesmen listening, but, you know, like, that aggressive, like, like, you know, they're pitching you, like, you don't want to feel pitched to all the time. So, what should I ask myself if I want to share my message, like, to make sure I'm within integrity? Yeah. Yes. I would, I would ask if you got no benefit at all whatsoever from the work that you do and it would only be of a benefit, you know, what would you do? Because I think that so much of our culture and just living in just the modern society, we're not exempt from fear. And a lot of times that fear triggers that self protecting and acquiring material things. And, you know, we all know that there's no real safety in that. But I think that the best thing that I teach people with the same movement, which is more about creating a focus on healing the world and really being kind of big about it. Like, I have a personal mission that if I could eradicate domestic violence from society and it's so big that I don't know how it's going to happen, but I can only just like tunnel vision. Like, so all the fame, all the glory, all the podcasts has absolutely nothing with me. I know I'm a representative because that's the nature of the work, but it's really, I just cannot wait till I have, you know, so many people who are saying, you know, you helped me get out of domestic violence. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who to talk to, you know, like not relying on the government or anything like that, but having that internal manifestation ability using creativity, because you have to be creative. Sometimes creativity is all you have. I talk to women who are undocumented, illegal women who are in domestic abuse relationships. Who are they going to go to? Right. But the imagination is something we all have and visualizing could be just the biggest, most powerful thing. So if you could be selfless in your pursuit and imagine that you're, you're actually fixing the world, that you are actually taking on a big, powerful, beautiful vision. Can you draw inspiration from that? And it doesn't matter what you sell because the mission doesn't change. Yeah. Yeah, I can see exactly what you mean. I get it. Because if it was, if I could offer everybody in the world to know and feel seen, validated, heard, and grateful in their life, then I know the world would change. Because if I'm grateful for my life, how am I going to hurt you? I can't hurt somebody else, right? I can't because I'm happy, joyful, and grateful, right? So if we all felt that way and looked at their own life and felt grateful for what they have around them, the love that they have, and whatever it is they're doing, it doesn't matter, then the world would look different. So yeah, I know what you're saying. Because if I could do that, if I could offer and teach people how to do that, then I would, yeah, everything would start to shift. Everything would shift. And if you think about it, it's not that big a deal. You're just teaching people to be grateful. It's not like we're not offering a magical pill or some very varied thing. We're actually offering something that's concrete and solid, that scientific evidence, that just being grateful makes you make better choices because you're happy. When you're happy, you have more access to better decisions. Well, yeah, and it raises your vibration. Like you mentioned Abraham Hicks, like that's what they talk about, raising our frequency, raising our vibration. So gratitude is high on the vibrational scale compared to like guilt, shame, anger, fear, all those things, which are low. So we attract more of those low frequencies where we want to attract higher frequencies. And that's what we all want

Jared Asch Talks With Chris Whitmore of the Richmond Promise
"I am joined by Christopher Whitmore of Richmond Promise. And Chris, first, tell us a little bit about your background and how you came to Richmond Promise. And then tell us, what is the Richmond Promise? Absolutely. First off, thank you for inviting me on the podcast. Really great to be here and have this conversation. So I was raised here in the city of Richmond. I still live in Richmond, and growing up here in our community, like so many other young people, I wanted to enter into a career pathway and build an adult life in which I could support the Richmond community and try to make this city, this community, the kind of place that I always envisioned it to be, which is a place where everyone can thrive. Everyone can feel welcome here in Richmond, feel like they have opportunities from the city, from the community to be who they want to be, to contribute to this space and to make this city better for everyone. And so with that really broad, general goal in mind, I decided at a very young age, elementary school age, that I wanted to be a public official when I grew up. I wanted to work specifically in the mayor's office of the city of Richmond when I grew up. And my godmother, Erma Anderson, was mayor when I was in elementary school. She was the first African -American woman elected mayor of the city of Richmond. I grew up with folks like John Gioia, who's our county supervisor and has been our representative for several years on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and several other folks who really inspired me to want to build out a career in public service. And so with that in mind, I went off to college. I went out of state to Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. I studied political science with an emphasis in public law. After graduating from Webster in 2014, I moved to Washington, D .C., where I was accepted into a congressional fellowship. And through that fellowship, I worked in the office of then U .S. Senator Bill Nelson's office of Florida. I moved back to Richmond in December 2014 and got my first job, first full time job working for Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, who at the time was the representative, newly elected representative for California's 11th congressional district. I had the privilege of working as an outreach coordinator in his Richmond office, which is actually just down the hall from where my current office is today. A year later, 2016, I got to accomplish that childhood goal of mine of working in the mayor's office. I worked for Mayor Tom Butt, starting off initially as his director of community engagement, later promoted to be his director of policy and strategy. After about two years in that office, I went over to the city and county of San Francisco, where I went to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and worked on their policy and government affairs team. And for about a year and a half, I wrote, along with my supervisor, all of the water, power and wastewater legislation for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. And I'll speed up the story. So about a year and a half later, I came back here to the city of Richmond and served as Tom Butt's chief of staff for exactly two years. And two years ago, October 4th, 2021, I started as Richmond Promise's second executive director. And it's been a great journey over the last two years, and I was really inspired to make the transition from the mayor's office to Richmond Promise. Just thinking back on my experience growing up in Richmond, having a goal to go to college at a young age for the sake and purpose of really accomplishing my career goals. And just being reminded constantly that there are so many other young people in Richmond who have educational and career goals for themselves. And those young people also deserve to have really strong support systems in our community to help them go off and do the things that they want to do. And I came over to Richmond Promise to strengthen that support system for our entire community.

How Do You Know If You're Living in a Police State?
"State mayor. Police state. How do you know? Well, I can tell you there's a pretty definitive sign in a constitutional republic or a representative democracy of some form. You do not investigate people. You investigate crimes in search of people, correct? People tend to overcomplicate what police a state is. We did a whole movie on it, but we kept it simple. You investigate crimes in a constitutional republic, and then you go and look for the people who did those crimes in a police state. You investigate people and you go and look for crimes. Oh, Miss Perkins attempted to revoke the security clearance of this employee and ordered her investigators to canvas 10 police departments where the employee lived for any allegations of violations of the law. Sounds like they're looking for person a in search of a crime, does it not? Folks, this has to stop. I'm gonna tell you, one of the more kind of devastating moments of my life in this space, and I mean it, I'm not being hyperbolic or overly dramatic dramatic about it is I was in an airport flying up to New York. I think I was doing the five fox or and friend, don't matter, but I'm in the airport and I get a call and a friend of mine says, you're never gonna believe this. He says, people in the Ukrainian embassy were watching your social media stuff, likely on government time, and monitoring your activity because you're exposing all this corruption going on in Ukraine that I was writing about in my last book. I said, no, they said, yeah, we're going to get a, we're going to for you this and you're going to see if they were right. Now folks, the stuff they were watching was public. I'm, you know, they, from what I least know, they at didn't have access to my private emails and things like that or the direct messages. But I got to tell you it was pretty scary stuff. I don't mean frightened, like a coward, like a little puppy. I was, it's frightening in an anxiety producing way that your government simply because you expose their corruption is busy watching what you're tweeting about and not doing their actual government assign work. You're like, where the hell am I living, the Soviet Union? Now in case you think it can't get any worse the police state ladies and gentlemen, it already has You sensing a pattern by the way according to this story about who the FBI was allegedly targeting. Marines, people wear who didn't want a to face mask, people who are skeptical of the vaccine. You sensing how the FBI and the modern turn military DEI wants to go along to get along types and if you're not one of them they want you the hell out as soon as possible. There's nothing the police state likes more than to have compliancy. They want people

A highlight from Meet Chicago Northwest with Mario Farfan
"Army veteran Mario Farfan is the account executive of meek Chicago Northwest an organization that is bringing Conferences and meetings to the northwest Chicago suburbs coming up next on veteran on the move Welcome to veteran on the move if you're a veteran in transition an entrepreneur wannabe or someone still stuck in that Jop trying to escape this podcast is dedicated to your success And now your host Joe crane Service isn't just what Navy Federal Credit Union does It's who they are That's why Navy Federal created tools to help you earn and save more learn more at Navy federal org slash join Hey today, we're talking with army veteran Mario Farfan from meek Chicago Northwest Mario welcome to the show We're looking forward to hearing which good things you're doing up there in Chicagoland So before we talk about all that takes back to us what you did in the army Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, Joe. Thank you for inviting me here today Excited to be on your podcast to share my story a little bit So, uh, well, I joined our military right at the high school literally after the graduation party the next day I was in the car with the with the recruiter Headed to all the preparation and in the other paperwork administrative stuff. So that was 19 night August 1994 I ride the South Carolina for Jackson for basic training Awesome, and you're looking through your bio your parents were Guatemalan immigrants, right? Yes. Yes, they were going from Guatemala to Chicago I came here after a long wait a wait time back in the 70s and They started their their journey in Chicago in Chicago the west side of Chicago actually humble park And that's where I was born But then they ended up moving closer to the north side And I speak in street corners because I'm from that era in Chicago is something about Chicago I know you I know you from Kansas City you mentioned as we talked earlier So we grew up on Winnipeg and Broadway, which is essentially the north side. They call it Edgewater now Back in the in the early 80s a very different area there that it is now a lot of Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees And immigrants that came after the Vietnam War. I did not know this Obviously as I got older I went back and there's a digging around how I grew up Why was there so many, you know different ethnicities? So I yes, I grew up in Chicago border ways in Chicago, correct? Yes, and so Tell us a little bit about some of the things you did while you're in the army Yeah, so I was I chose my MLS was 94 Bravo back then I think it's changed 92 golf now, which is a cook essentially my thinking a 17 year old person getting Advice from many different people that weren't an army They were like Mario choose a job that it's gonna you know, not be too strenuous or dangerous So you're not gonna so I wasn't gonna be an infantry or Airborne Ranger. I knew that right away So I decided that you know, and I was interested in cooking my mother She you know love to cook so I said to myself it would be something interesting to venture in So I was a I was a cook in the military Definitely had a lot of friends because we were out in the field You know, we had the nice kitchen trailer set up with hot coffee and grill and all my military friends had to eat those MRE So they were like, hey Mario, you know, hook me up with something hot stuff like that So I definitely gained a lot of friends which was pretty cool because I started doing networking back then. I just didn't know it Yeah, great experience. So talk about your transition out of the army. Was it something you're expecting to come on quick? Were you prepared unprepared? I would say I was policy. I'm prepared to be honest So I got out on night 99. I was in Germany my last stop At the time so it was more of a pressure to stay in. That's what I remember the most It was a lot of fear a lot of you know, high pressure to stay in like what are you gonna do? So then life is not great You know stay here, you know, you can retire which I know many people do I know many people Friends that I have still they retired in Germany. They ended up just living to staying there, but my family at the time Was going through a struggle financially and I felt like I need to come home and just be back with them and support them as much as I could so I They gave me my paperwork and I was on my own. Basically. I got back to Chicago, which is very difficult right because Chicago Back, this is like 1999 2000. So just trying to you know, figure all of it out It's a lot right because it's benefits. There's paperwork. There's things that we just don't know about and I'll be honest the last Ten twenty years. I'm learning more and more, right? I Know too recently. There's just many benefits of veterans have that. We just don't know about especially when it comes to entrepreneur small business Something that I want to mention in in 2015 I started a Hispanic chamber out here in the suburbs and part of that was just thinking about how to look out for you know Hispanic business owners So now I'm thinking about better veteran business owners because I do run into them Hispanic or non -hispanic and they talk to me and say you know what? We we need better resources for our for our veteran business owners that are either starting a business On the middle of their business or just trying to figure out how to take their business to the next level So I'm always thinking about that. I'm always thinking about that. I am I am on me Chicago Northwest. That's my full -time job So so that that I'm able to incorporate it because I am I still continue to meet People from from that walk of life and as a veteran myself, I didn't have my own business, right? But If I had that information, who knows right 20 years ago Whatever 24 years ago who knows what would have happened to me when I came back, but I did what most veterans do I enrolled in college right away. It just tried to get out there in civilian life I began a 20 20 year career in banking. That's what I ended up doing so But so yes, I was a banker Assistant manager branch manager for 15 years and a regional manager up to a business banker So I did all facets of banking retail banking when it comes to helping small businesses and that's where I end in my career and and And then I decided to take a another a different Turn in my career into the what I'm doing now with me Chicago Northwest is you know working with us so still working with businesses right because associations nonprofits Diversity clubs sports clubs. Those are all businesses, right? So now all we do now in Chicago, Northwest we talk to them We we bring we try to invite them nationally, right or even internationally to the Northwest suburbs They come out and see what we have to offer so they can have the conferences the conventions or their meetings here. So That was a long answer. I know Back to what you said if I just one of five my transition If I had to rate it, I'll probably give it a one or two. It was it was it wasn't it was not great Yeah, it was not great. So sounds like you ultimately landed Well now I don't I'm not real familiar with the Chicago suburbs But is the Northwest Chicago suburbs primarily Hispanic or have a heavily Hispanic influence or I know she says something about you were targeting more Hispanic Since you're probably fluent in Spanish targeting the Spanish business network Yeah, great question so Chicago in itself state of Illinois itself has a large Hispanic population in itself city Chicago obviously is the largest city which is a heavy heavy Hispanic presence in the suburbs is starting to change, right? You have also an Asian presence Middle Eastern Indian presence, so it's starting to change very very a lot of Backgrounds and cultures Polish as well are out here in the suburbs It's all a mix but I would say definitely in the last 10 20 years the suburbs people have migrated Either to work out here in the suburbs to live out here go to school out here Public schools is a challenge, right? I I went to public schools. So hey, I made it I mean, I made it but it's not it's not easy Joe. I'll tell you that especially when I grew up in the 80s was definitely not easy, but So the answer to that would be yeah Yes, the the suburbs are being more diverse across not just Hispanic so the reason I started the Hispanic Chamber Joe because there's this Hispanic chamber in the city downtown on most people that live in the suburbs don't want to travel You know, it could be an hour for traffic an hour into the city just to go get resources and help So I figured why not have something here for them where they can go and get resources Find out about grants or how to start a business or get the paperwork in order So that's kind of how why I started to need I need that I saw in the suburbs in the middle Which wasn't there awesome?

Crypto Banter
A highlight from If You Missed The Crypto Rally, Follow This EXACT Roadmap!
"If you're feeling lost or underexposed after the recent crypto rally, then you've come to the perfect video. Because today, I'm going to be outlining my roadmap for crypto riches in the next bull run, running you through the five steps that you can follow to build the ultimate bull market portfolio. Yes, you haven't exactly timed the bottom correctly if you're watching this video and you don't have all your entries, but no, you haven't missed out on the opportunity to capitalise next bull run, as I believe this market in the right conditions can go much, much higher. And we can see if we look at the YouTube views, which is pretty much the ultimate retail indicator, retail is still hardly back yet, Bitcoin is sitting above $37 ,000. So the amount of potential this market has to grow once retail comes back in leads me to believe there are still massive opportunities. So there's no need to panic, no need to FOMO if you haven't got your entries yet. But what you must do is come up with a sound accumulation plan to make sure that you're building your portfolio in the right way for the bull run. And that's exactly what I'm going to run you through. In today's video, there are many ways to make money in this market, you can scalp you can day trade, you can swing trade, you can airdrop farm. But in today's show, I'm going to be focusing on the investing side of things, the slightly more passive side things that doesn't require you to pick it up as a full time skill. Yes, it's going to take some active portfolio management, if you really want to build a successful portfolio, but it's not as time intensive as some of the other strategies that you might be following in the market today is purely focused on the long term investment side of things, how you can build an underlying portfolio to keep yourself steady and maximize upside for the next bull run, whilst also building a nice foundation for if you do want to trade and if you want to do anything additional that you can stack on top, I believe this strategy is complimentary to trading strategies in the market. So it's not a one or the other thing. But it is about setting up some nice foundations. So in light of that, where do we currently sit? Well, although the altcoin market has had a pretty big pump and Bitcoin has had a big pump, I believe we're still in an accumulation phase. Technically, we are still in the year pre halving. And typical Bitcoin bull run peaks don't tend to happen until the year after the Bitcoin halving, which would be 2025, late 2024, when things really start to pick up. Of course, every cycle is going to be a bit different. Maybe we are seeing things shift a little earlier, maybe not, maybe it shifts later, we can't time it exactly. But what we do know is generally, we are in an accumulation phase. So the goal of an accumulation phase is to stack as much crypto as possible via any means possible. The way you do this is obviously where all the nuance is. And this is where you're going to exhibit the difference between the 2x return next cycle and a 20x return next cycle. I think if you stick to the principles in today's video, there's a good chance that you can be aiming for that 10 to 20x portfolio value next cycle versus many people who are just simply going to ride it all the way up and then end up round tripping it all the way back down. Because accumulating through any means possible doesn't mean just accumulating after every pump. There's actually a strategy that I want you to follow in order to get better entries on altcoins. And that's what we're going to talk about now. So the first thing that you need to do if you want to build a successful portfolio is create a watch list. It sounds so simple, but it's something people often get wrong. They see these new coins cropping up on Twitter, they get tempted to ape in, when in reality, you should have a really organized for system having your watch list. So before you even think about buying, make sure you have a clear watch list identified. And this process can take months, this process can take years. But what happens is as you research, as you watch more videos, as you experience new things, as you learn things, you gradually refine your watch list, you get rid of coins that maybe aren't performing so well, and you add coins that you find out about that you're bullish on, and eventually you end up curating a really nice watch list. So the easiest method to start with when it comes to building a watch list, this is even before we get into any of the buying stuff, is to start with the individual sectors or narratives. So what I would do is I would pick two to three verticals you're most bullish on and start your research there. Niche down into two sectors that you really, really believe in. Some of the examples of the sectors that I find interesting are in front of you. I think AI is interesting, real world assets, gaming, ZK, LSDs, DEXs, SocialFi, NFTs, pick maybe two, three of these sectors and really start narrowing in on those sectors. I really like to build my portfolio around these major sectors because I believe crypto doesn't operate in isolation. There are many growth verticals which are going to help crypto achieve massive option, and there are certain growth verticals out of those that are going to end up outperforming. And the ones that I specifically like, I do want to concentrate a bit more of my portfolio allocation towards those narratives. For example, if you're really into crypto gaming, this could be a logical place to start research the gaming space and start positioning yourself there before you start creating a watch list for some of the other sectors. But of course, over time you'll build out a fully fleshed out watch list around all of your favourite narratives. So what I would do to build a watch list, I wouldn't do it in Apple Notes, although you can, I would do it in Trading View because Trading View has this amazing yet very simple feature which allows you to build individual watch lists. I would make a list called buy list or accumulation list. And what I would do is whenever I find a coin that I am interested in buying, or I know I want to buy a coin, I would just add it to my buy list because this will be your list that you know that you can look at every single day in order to monitor those coins and also get your entries on those coins. So having it all condensed in one place on Trading View is really handy. And what you can do is you can sort by colour in one of two ways. You can sort colour based on the narrative. So I can make let's say any AI project orange and any L2 green. Or you can also do it in terms of market cap, have like, you know, red for your large caps, green for your small caps, however you want to colour code it, you can do that to make it easier for you. So then you can go into your red list and your blue list etc. And actually sort by major caps, small caps, mid caps. So organisation is really key here in terms of making sure your watch is super organised because it's going to make it easier for you to actually keep track of this journey. I think most I know it sounds so simple, but most people don't do this. Most people don't have an organised watchlist or an organised spreadsheet. And this is the first step to successful investing, right? If your mind's not organised, how can you expect your portfolio to be organised? I mean, it's just so important. If you do want to fully maximise your portfolio management, because it's not just buying, that's the trick here. It's managing, it's awaiting allocations, etc. So it all starts with having good setups. So in order to do this, we'll head into step number two now. And that's creating a journal in Excel. So after you've got your watchlist into trading view, this is when you want to go a little bit deeper, because the trading view watchlist is the coins you want to buy. But on Excel, you start to enter some logic. So I'll give you an example of how I would do it. I would list all the coins I'm interested in buying. This is a sample portfolio. Then I would have a column which says my thesis, time horizon and invalidation and risks. So for example, for Ethereum, I've written down my thesis, which is it has a diverse ecosystem. It has first mover advantage versus other L1s. It has institutional interest, which is set to ramp up. And it has proven staying power within the industry. I've put my time horizon at five plus years because I view it as an extremely long term bet. Now, obviously, taking profits can happen at any time in between this period. But it's important to have a time horizon established because certain investments will be more trade based and certain investments will be more long term. And I would also put my invalidation slash risk. So for Ethereum, I've said the major risks are it can lose market share to other L1s like Solana, for example. It could have technical risks if there are any major upgrades gone wrong, because I know they're doing a lot of network upgrades. And another risk could be the invalidation of one of my main key thesis points, which is institutions are piling into Ethereum. Maybe they don't choose to or they opt for other coins or Bitcoin, etc. And this would be an invalidation. So I would go through my entire portfolio and I would enter in the thesis for each coin, time horizon and invalidation. Why? Because at any given moment, you're going to be able to go back and say, why did I buy Injective? Oh, it's because this is my thesis. Why did I buy Ethereum? Oh, it's because this is my thesis. And then before you panic sell to rotate into a new hot coin on crypto Twitter, you can actually go back to your thesis and look, okay, am I still bullish? Are the reasons I was bullish then still the reasons I'm bullish now? And you can answer yes or no. And you can tweak it over time. And this helps remind you why you bought a coin in the first place. Because so often people just buy coins because they're hyped. And then they're like, I actually don't understand what this coin does. Why am I holding this coin? Well, that's something you need to avoid in order to create a successful portfolio. Because if you don't have conviction in a coin, how are you going to hold it through the rough times? And who's to say you're not just going to rotate out of it if you don't believe in it to a hotter coin, a shinier coin, if your coins underperforming, right. So it's very important to have everything documented in an Excel or a Google Sheets or however you want to track it. So you actually it's like a trading journal, right? So you have your thesis clearly outlined for each coin. Another thing you can do to go a step further is actually conduct a SWOT analysis for each coin. This is actually an amazing practice that I highly recommend doing. And it basically means once a coins in your watch your trading view watch list, and once you're starting to populate it into the Excel, actually go fill out a form, it can be done on a on a Google Doc, and you can link that into your original Excel. So I'll show you what I mean, you can create another column here, which says SWOT, and then you can have the Google Doc link entered in here, click on that, it'll open up a new document, or if it's on your desktop, then you can link it to another document on your desktop, which basically means you'll you'll have an individual study, a SWOT analysis study for every single coin that you've actually gone and researched. And this is a great learning experience. Because when you're trying to find the strengths, let's say for Ethereum, the weaknesses, the opportunities, the threats, you're going to come across new ideas and new thought processes. And let's say for Ethereum, you can think of the strengths, you know, the opportunities, you know, some weaknesses, but you can't think of any threats. Well, that's a great gap in your understanding that you can explore and prod further. So you can look for counterpoints, you can look for content, which actually challenges your theory, you can ask people in the space. I mean, we I answer a lot of questions and DMS, etc, on Twitter, but I know Randals and the other hosts do as well. And also other experts in those niches, I think are also super accommodating if you have any interesting questions. So by filling out these sheets, you're going to get a much more detailed analysis on your favorite old coins. And this will help you develop your theses as well. So underrated little trick here is to actually do a SWOT analysis for each coin and link that into your spreadsheet. I'm basically trying to practice here healthy habits when it comes to portfolio building, because I can almost bet 99 % of you probably don't have an Excel that has in -depth theses and plans and invalidations for every single coin you hold. Most of you probably just ape into coins on a centralized exchange or maybe on DEXs and that's completely okay. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm saying if you want to maximize next cycle, it's time to level up. It's time to get serious and it's time to plan because if you don't, you'll be left behind and maybe some of you have the taste of being left behind from the past couple of weeks. I know a lot of people have been asking me, you know, have I missed it? Is it too late? Well, it's not too late, but it is going to be too late soon if you haven't got the right plan in place because things can happen super quick in this market as you've seen. So now for step number three out of the five step roadmap. Now it's time to determine position sizing. And this is the most subjective and nuanced step in this video because obviously how much risk you allocate to a low cap will be different from you to the next person, right? Because I don't know your financial situation. You might have a family you need to support, you can't take much risks. You might be young like me and be willing to, you know, risk it all and you don't really care. If you lose money, you may be super wealthy and you're only playing around with 5 % of your net worth. And if you blow it on crypto, you don't really care. To some people, you might really care about losing money, right? And you might want to be a little more conservative. So it really depends on your situation and your goals. Do you want to hit a million dollars next cycle? Do you want to hit a hundred K? Do you want to hit 10 million? Like, it really depends on your situation. So this is something only you're going to be able to work out. But I'll give you an example of how I would determine position sizing. So on the Excel, I would add a column for percentage portfolio weighting. So this number is going to represent your ideal position size for each coin. I'll show you what I mean. So for example, for Ethereum, I've allocated in the sample portfolio 20%. So $100 ,000 portfolio, that would be $20 ,000. And I've allocated percentages for all the other altcoins based on $100 ,000 portfolio. And you can tweak this number as you wish in order to get the representative figures when you make your own sheets. But what this is going to do is give you an idea of how you actually weight risk. Now, how do you determine how much percentage to allocate to each project? The easiest thing to do is break it down by either sector. So you can go like, let's say 30 % towards L1s, 15 % towards L2s, whatever verticals you're bullish on, as we discussed before, you'll allocate heavier to those. Verticals you're less bullish on, you'll allocate less heavy to them, right? But my preferred method is actually not by sector, depends how your brain works, but I prefer to do it by market cap. So large caps, I might allocate 40 % towards, mid caps, I might allocate 30 % towards, small caps, I might allocate 20 % towards and micro caps, anything under $10 million, I'll allocate 10 % towards. So this is one way that can help you structure it. What you can actually do is you can create a pie chart. So once you've got the size right of all the coins, you can create another column, link that to your allocation percentage, and then make a pie chart and actually see how much of your portfolio is mid caps, large caps, small caps, and micro caps. That's a big tip that I have for you, because that's going to help you get a view of how much risk you're taking with your portfolio. And look, as I said, for some people, your micro caps might be 30%. You just might want to hit the lottery next bull run and make 10 million or make nothing and you decide to do that and go, you know, you want to go 30, 40 % on micro caps, knowing that you could blow it all. But some people might prefer to go, no, I like, you know, I'm happy with the three to four x next cycle. I'm just going all large caps. I'm just going to go Ethereum and Solana and a couple others, and that's it. And, you know, make my maybe three, four, five x, I'm not interested in the 100x stuff. And that's completely fine as well. That's why it completely depends on your personal situation. And step number three is the most subjective one. But hopefully just by writing it down and allocating per sector, this gives you a good idea of how you want to structure your portfolio. And you'll get a pretty good feel once you start to track your portfolio in real time, as to how volatile your portfolio is, you might realize it's too volatile, you might realize you're not getting enough upside. So the beta is not correct on crypto pumps. So you'll actually know over time. And this isn't anything set in stone, you can tweak over time, if you want to go more risk on when the market's more aggressive, you can do that. If you want to less risk on when you want to be more conservative, you can do that. No one says your portfolio has to be set in stone all the time. This is where you allocate to fresh accumulation. So now you've assigned your weightings, it's time to plan your entries. How do you do this? Well, you have a trading view already set up. So this is going to be your number one port of call when it comes to market out levels. What I would do is I would go through that entire trading view by list that you've mapped out. And I would set key horizontal support levels on a high timeframe like the monthly or the weekly. And then I would draw in the levels where I would look to accumulate. So let's use dydx as an example, you can go into the weekly you can mark out clearly range lows a dollar range high was $2 .70. And your next major resistance level is at $4 .20. So your green accumulation zone is your ultimate support by this is your range low support. We may not get there. But this is where you want to put in limit orders, right? Your yellow box, you would have a an alert on trading view set up for when we hit this zone. So you'd create a little alert here, it'll ding on your phone, you can say as your message, you can say dydx buy zone. And what this will do is it will track when we drop back down into that zone. So you can and you can also set a limit order there. And then you have your red box, which is the same thing. So when you break above, you get that alert. When we come back down on confirmation, you can make a buyer. So for the green box, this is something you could have set a passive limit order on an exchange automatically do it, you don't even need to do it yourself. Just let it happen. If it gets back down there. For the orange and the red zones on altcoins, these are more active positions. So use the trading view alert function when you get alerted, then you can make your decision on exactly when you want to DCA. But you probably should stick to your plan once you outline it, right? If you if you make a plan that you want to accumulate on the retest of dydx range high, then when you actually get there to the chat to the point of accumulating, don't flinch, like you actually have to follow through on your plan. So what I would actually do is I would even write in some text here, I would go to settings, I would write in some text, I would say accumulate on retest, if x, y and z, you might have some technical parameters that that you want to like add in, if you're a bit more technical, like, you know, I want to see RSI up on the upswing, I want to make sure there's a four hourly confluence with the retest, whatever, all those technicals that you can kind of stack on top. But it's really good to actually write this down. So on trading view for each coin, you're going to have your levels on the weekly on the monthly, like dogecoin, for example, a major support level I would look at is the five seven level, this is an area that I would be interested in setting limit orders. So the more limit orders you can set the better if you can set limit orders on exchanges and just have some capital across a few different exchanges, have your limit order set and forget about it, that's the best, because then you're not going to panic when price gets there. A lot of the time what will happen is price will actually get down to the support and then people get bearish, right? They bearish here, they bearish here, they bearish here, they bearish here, they never want to accumulate in the support range. Then when the price starts pumping, they're like damn next dip I want to buy right and then it goes back down. And then when it dips down, you don't actually end up buying because you're psychology and the back and forth of wrestling with emotion and basically forcing you to buy in when you have a predetermined level that you want to buy in. For the DYDX example, you do have that predetermined level on range low, but because price is pumped, you now have to potentially look at buying on confirmation of the retest of key breaks of resistance levels flipped into support. So this is going to require a bit more nuance than just setting limit orders. But that's just a reflection of where that coins out every coins in a different zone, right? And every coin has a different scenario, like for fracks, you might say, okay, on the break of 760, I want to buy some fracks, because this clearly shows that it's reverse downtrend, for example, and then you would set that order once you've broken above. So it's not a perfect science. But what this does is it kind of forces you to stick to a strategy when the levels are in your trading view, and your plans are predefined before price gets there, then when price gets there, you should just be sticking to your plan. So you should be having a plan for the next six months on levels accumulation across a variety of coins. And you should know exactly when you're buying and you should know exactly what happens if price keeps pumping. What level are you actually going to get interested at again? So let's say the idea smashes through the highs, you know that you're probably going to buy the retest of range high on the high timeframe, right? So have all those scenarios planned out, then you're never gonna have to form it because even if price pumps, you've got a plan for that. And if price dumps, you've also got a plan for that you've got your limit orders, right? So you should be planned either way for either scenario. And if you want to get nuance with timing entries, you can even stack on additional tools like AI, etc. to get better entries. For example, Kyber AI, you guys know how I like the Kyber score in order to track momentum. When you do see a momentum swing on the Kyber score, that could also be an indicator that you can use in confluence with let's say the retest of that range high as we discussed before, in order to get your exact entry when your trading view alert goes off. And you can use all sorts of on chain data to snipe an even better entry. So it just really depends on your level. Some people prefer to be more passive and just DCA and whatever. But if you're a bit more active, you can start to stack these tools in order to get slightly better entries. And for more advanced market participants, a website like Kyber AI, I think is a good one. So there's a link in the description below to get beta access to Kyber AI for free. It's a free platform, if you're interested in that. So hopefully that accumulation plan makes sense. I think it just boils down to take advantage of fear. Typically, these support buys will happen after major sell offs. And the major sell offs typically represent the strongest opportunities in the market. I mean, just look at Solana. The two biggest FUD events were the two events that ended up being the best buying opportunities for SOL. And these were actually areas where I publicly said that I was buying Solana and they ended up being amazing buys up, you know, four to five x now. So buying fear in this market is definitely the strategy when you're aiming to build positions for the long term. Okay, let's go to step number five. Now, this is a really, really important one. This is keeping stables on the side for new projects. So I do this for two reasons. One, some of the best performing projects next cycle haven't even been released yet. Newer shiny objects tend to outperform their older counterparts, because there's less suppressory effect on price, due to the lack of underwater bag holders on new coins versus old coins. So what are old coins, there are a lot of bag holders, they can still explode, it doesn't mean they can't perform well. But just typically new performs can have that more aggressive thrust to the upside because there's less kind of dampening due to supply pressures, right. So keeping stable coins on the side for new projects is really important. Not only because of that, but because of the fact that new projects often solve the needs in the market that the old projects couldn't solve. So they usually launching and not all new projects are good, some new projects are rubbish, but really quality new projects are launching because they know that they fill a gap in the market that other projects couldn't, or they're improving on the technology that other projects have already established. So there's a benefit there as well. And the second reason why I like to keep stable coins aside is because it prevents you from recklessly rotating out of existing holdings. So if you have no capital, you're probably going to be more willing to sell let's say your Solana bag if it's not performing well to rotate into Stacks because Stacks is performing well. But if you have capital on the side, right, you have actual cash, you don't need to sell your Solana because you have cash that you can deploy into Stacks. So you're less likely to rotate out of your Solana into Stacks because you got capital to buy it. So one of the biggest tips for just not giving up on a bag too early is just keeping stable coins on the side. It's such a basic thing, but it's something so many people don't do. They get too greedy at certain times and don't hold enough cash. And then they get to risk off at certain times and hold too much cash. The key is keeping a balance. And I've been in both camps. There's been periods where I've held too much cash. And then there's I've kind of learned my mistake here. And for most people sitting around the 20 % mark in cash is not a terrible idea in terms of your crypto portfolio. Once again, this comes down to your risk tolerance, etc. As long as you have something that prevents you from FOMOing into these shiny coins with old positions, because this happens every bull run, you want to FOMO into the new coins. But it's just better if you if you're not forced to sell. Forced selling is horrible, often leads to a really subpar result in terms of your exit price. Much better just to have fresh capital used that's and reserved solely for the purpose of buying into newer coins. So this isn't to say that you can't tweak allocations over time. I think you should always tweak allocations. As prices pump, you can take profits, rotate into other alts, take profits into USD. As income comes in from other income sources, you can put that into the market. Some coins you might realize, okay, say is not really realizing its vision. Maybe you don't think they're executing very well. The team makes some mistakes. You can actually delete that off your watch list at certain points and add a new coin that you think's better. Like there's nothing saying the portfolio you build now has to be set in stone. But there's something to be said for starting to plan and having a system. Because once you have a system, then you can plug and play any old coins into that system. Once you have your watch list, have your Excel, it's easy to make small modifications versus overhauling the whole thing once every few months. It's better to just tweak it slowly over time. And I think it's actually very smart to make tweaks over time, because that enables you to be adaptive and it means you're not always stuck in old positions that might not be so favorable when there's new trends in the market. So always maintain adaptivity, but don't be rash. That's pretty much how I want to summarize that. I want to give a quick shout out to one of our official show sponsors now, which is SmartX. They actually did $5 .1 million in trading volume this week. So if you are looking to farm, they have a very good system which reduces the negative effects of impermanent loss, and in some cases can lead to impermanent gain across their LPs, across the networks Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB and Base. They recently just jacked up the APRs on Ethereum and BNB. They lowered them on Polygon and Arbitrum. So if you do want to look for some of the opportunities with additional multipliers now, you can look for example, on the ETH side on some of these pools, which have a higher APR. And as I said, it's not your typical AMM. They have a proprietary algorithm which makes impermanent loss less of a headache compared to other AMMs, for example, like Uniswap. And if you go onto their homepage of their website, and you click on simulate the algorithm, you can actually compare the performance of pools compared to pools on Uniswap. So you can scroll through and get some examples to see how SmartX actually works in practice, which is a nice feature as well. So there's a link in the description if you want to yield farm on SmartX, or even if you want to swap, it's also a DEX, of course, that can get you some decent swap rates too. And yeah, just another great week of trading volume for SmartX. So well done to the team over there. And looking forward to keeping on supporting you in the future on these shows. So I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope you learned something. And even if one person watches today's video and builds a nice system, and ends up benefiting that from that next bull run that it was worth my time because I think 99 % of people will be too lazy to do the stuff I talked about today. Because I get it, it's easier sitting back and being lazy. But for the ones that are willing to put in the time and be proactive, you're going to be the ones I think that end up really reaping the rewards of this. So well done to you if that's what you're about to do. And I will see you in my next show, which will probably be on Tuesday. See you later. Peace out.

The Breakdown
A highlight from Markets Surge as BlackRock Files ETH Spot ETF
"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 Friday, November 10th, and today we are talking about BlackRock's Ethereum ETF filing. 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, happy Friday. Before we dive in, I just have to give you a little bit of information about the show and the weekend. Unfortunately, this show is going to be a little bit shorter than normal and there will be no weekend episodes. Late last night, I started having to deal with an unexpected family situation that has wanted to round out the bullish end to this week and really capstone our shift away from the SAM -based world of last year and face forward into what's coming next. With that in mind, on Thursday morning, news broke that BlackRock had registered an entity called the iShares Ethereum Trust in Delaware. Although representatives for BlackRock refused to comment, the filing appeared legitimate. It named the Managing Director of BlackRock Advisors as the filing agent. There was initially some skepticism at first and people not sure if it was rumors, but suspicions were confirmed in the afternoon after markets closed when it was revealed that BlackRock had filed to launch a spot Ethereum ETF. Now this is not the first spot Ethereum ETF to be filed. A few months after the flurry of spot Bitcoin ETF filings in June, asset managers doubled down on crypto products with matching Ethereum filings. VanEck, ARK Invest slash 21 shares, Hashdex and Invesco slash Galaxy Digital all have applications awaiting approval. There's also a conversion application for Grayscale's Ethereum Trust filed with the SEC. The difference with BlackRock's application is, of course, that they are BlackRock. They are an order of magnitude at least larger than the other asset managers. And of course, what that means, at least according to the markets, is that these ETF applications are not merely speculative but actually stand a good chance of being approved. BlackRock's track record speaks for itself. The firm has filed over 570 ETF applications with the SEC and all but one of them have been approved. Now the rationale for the legality of a spot Ethereum ETF is the same across all of the current applications. Following the Grayscale court decision, it seems that the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs is almost assured to happen. The court found that there was no material difference between spot Bitcoin markets and futures markets. As the SEC had already approved futures based Bitcoin ETFs, they had no reason to deny spot based products. Ethereum futures markets have grown massively over the past few years, achieving a similar size to Bitcoin futures in 2021 when those ETFs were approved. Partly due to this increase in market size, a large number of asset managers were able to launch futures based Ethereum ETFs last month. So then, using the same logic that was deployed in the Grayscale lawsuit, Ethereum spot markets are obviously tied to futures markets. This would dictate that spot based Ethereum ETFs should be approved to trade alongside their futures based counterparts. Nate Grassi, the president of the ETF store, put it more succinctly in a tweet. Grayscale Courtwin plus SEC approval of Ether futures ETFs should equal spot Ether ETF approval. Now BlackRock pointed to this argument specifically in their filing, stating that, quote, given that the SEC has approved ETFs that offer exposure to ETH futures, which themselves are priced based on the underlying spot ETH market, the sponsor believes that the SEC must also approve ETPs that offer exposure to spot ETH, end quote. Now, if the BlackRock application is approved, it will include a market surveillance agreement with Coinbase to monitor spot markets for manipulation. BlackRock also leaned on existing surveillance sharing agreements with the CME Ethereum futures market that are present in the other products. They wrote in their filing, Ether CME surveillance can detect spot market fraud that affects both futures ETFs and spot exchange traded products, or that surveillance cannot do so for either type of product. Having approved ETH futures ETFs in part on the basis of such surveillance, the SEC has can detect spot market fraud that would affect spot ETPs, and the sponsor thus believes that it must also approve spot ETH ETPs on that basis.

Millions in the U.S. Do Not Want America to Survive
"Citizens who either want to destroy it or undermine with a ruling class that that seems to have no limits on its power then there are tens of millions of us who do love this country and want to protect it and when our children and grandchildren live in a free prosperous nation the Constitution's under attack, a primal attack it's not being complied with the Declaration of Independence apparently is so controversial that we have presidents then when they quote it they leave out certain phrases in the Declaration because with their ideology the vast majority of people in Congress do not believe in capitalism we even have corporatists who don't believe in capitalism and certainly our universities and colleges do not believe in capitalism and what is capitalism? capitalism individual freedom, voluntary transactions you can't have a free society and have a socialist government or economic system, a Marxist you can't have a country that has no borders where immigration is out of control you don't know who's coming that turns the whole notion of borders and immigration on their heads immigration is supposed to be about improving our society improving the standard of living for citizens who actually live here our representatives are supposed to represent us not foreigners who they don't even know who haven't even stepped foot in our country yet when you have indoctrination disguised as education and that indoctrination is intended to brainwash children into hating their family their faith and their country that's self -sabotage no nation can be one generation pushed spread belief by the ruling class and that includes the media that abortion on demand and infanticide is an credibly popular political issue and this is what then women want you have a
The Dan Bongino Show
Why the United States Has Four Political Parties
"Here he is. Dan Bongino. So the reason we have this four party issue going on in the United States right now, and there are four, do not discount my theory, do it at your own peril. The Trump party, the Republican party, the Biden party and Democrat party is because the electorate is bifurcating on both sides by four people who no longer want to be associated with the Republican party will vote for people who run as Republicans because we can just take advantage of the primary ballot access, the ballot access. We can take advantage of party infrastructure things when we want. And what it doesn't make any sense to run as an independent because there's no chance of you winning the presidency because Republicans, if it gets kicked to the House of Representatives, which it likely would in a competitive three way race, are going to vote for Republicans. I've done the whole shows on that. What happens if you don't get 270 electoral votes? It goes to the House. Each state gets a vote. You think the majority Republican states with Republicans sitting in chairman spots who've been swampy their whole lives are going to vote independent? There's no chance. We're just keeping it real. You ever seen Chris Rock? I'm just telling you the truth, bro. That's it. You have almost zero chance as an independent of winning the presidency. Almost zero. A guy like Trump honestly could maybe pull it off, but it would be the end of the Republican party. Some of you may say it's a good thing, but again, you make it my point that there are

Not quite devil's advocate, but you were praising the Abrahamic accords that Donald Trump managed to pull off during his administration, which was a, uh, diplomatic masterpiece, foreign policy coup. Now you have to give Jared Kushner a lot of credit for that, even though you're not a fan of his, uh, in terms of his domestic policy influence. Right, right. Um, yeah, I'm not a fan of Jared. I have said that if Donald Trump wants a second term in office, he should be forced. He should force Ivanka to divorce Jared and marry Steve Bannon. I've not heard that. I stand by that. Brilliant. Absolutely. He's still single. He's he's in his 60s. He is single. He is not, he is not directly on board with this proposal. Um, I have not asked Steve what he thinks about it. Frankly. I don't care. It would be like one of those diplomatic marriages that the Habsburgs had, you know, you have to marry princess of Asturias. I know she's a hunchback dwarf and she is your first cousin twice over, but this is a necessity of state. So I want to hold the empire together. I want the Ivanka Steve Bannon wedding. Um, and I would happily attended be the ring. I'd like to be the ring bearer dressed as a court dwarf, but that's, but, but I digress slightly. Uh, it was a brilliant foreign policy coup by a very prudent and responsible Trump administration. I a lot of my friends support Trump because of all the peace, prosperity and patriotism. I'm fine with all that, but really I was just in it for the mean tweets. I it's our favorite part about Donald Trump, the mean tweets. What I'm saying is I'm using that to highlight the fact that people like David French and Rod Dreher and Russell Moore all said, we couldn't, we cannot support Donald Trump. Look at the mean tweets and oh, the slaughter in Israel, the war in Ukraine, chaos on our borders. These are the results of sniffy prissy, weak Christians saying, oh, I find these tweets on winsome. I simply, I cannot exist in the same political party as someone who says things like that is what the result is slaughter in Israel. The result is slaughter in Ukraine, your prissy -ness, your delicate refined sensibilities that led you to have contempt for the Jericho march, have contempt for the January six demonstrators. Uh, it has real world consequences. You never Trump Republicans who undermined our efforts to challenge the 2020 election fraud. You have the blood on your hands of the war in Ukraine. That wouldn't have happened if Trump were in office of the Afghan translators who were slaughtered by the Taliban, which wouldn't have happened if Trump were in office and of the slaughter in Israel, which wouldn't have happened if Trump were in office. The blood is on your prissy little manicured hands. And there's plenty more, uh, if you want to talk blood on your hands, the open border with, I mean, again, even talking about this, I, I, Bonanza for child sex traffic, I'm going to weep or scream or cry. When I think about the fact that young people, ladies and gentlemen, think about this, think about this, that the Biden administration, this is true. We're not making this up. They changed the policy so that, uh, we have men bringing young women and boys across the test right now under Biden, think of the satanic evil. They are allowed to say, Oh, this is my nephew, or this is my niece, or this is whatever it is. And they take them into the country. These children, children are being raped and our government turns a blind eye. I can't think of anything more wicked and sick. And so when people say, Oh, I can't vote for Donald Trump, you better understand God will judge you because that is happening because of your action, because of your inaction, that's a reality. And people sometimes act. It's like, it's like people saying I cannot in conscience support Samson. So I cannot support Samson. I have to allow the Philistines to overrun Israel and destroy the temple and Institute child sacrifice because Samson's manners are not winsome. He's not a good representative of the gospel. I feel that my Christian witness is impugned by being associated with Samson. Cause not, let's face it, Donald Trump is Samson and Delilah is the establishment Republicans. Mickey Haley is Delilah. And she keeps. Have you written an article of using this, uh, this, uh, that's tomorrow's article. You're serious because I thought that's, that's really interesting. I'm the way I say it is the next election is Barabbas versus Samson. Joe Biden is the Barabbas that the mob chooses over Jesus. And Samson is the shampling guy who shoots himself in the foot and lets people lie to him and makes mistakes because he's flawed. He's not Jesus. He's Samson though. And I'll take Samson over Barabbas any day. But when Donald Trump, uh, ate honey, uh, out of a carcass of a lion by the very cool, that, that just ended it for me. I said, I cannot vote for a man that's why I didn't vote. I wrote David French in, uh, because I, I thought that that was the moral thing to do. I like to think of myself as the jawbone of an ass that Donald Trump used to kill a lot of frequency. That's good. That's good right there. I like, uh, I'm going to like the John story.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from What Separates "Gaza" from Hamas? with Alan Dershowitz and Harmeet Dhillon
"Turbulent times call for clear -headed insight that's hard to come by these days, especially on TV. That's where we come in. Salem News Channel has the greatest collection of conservative minds all in one place. People you know and trust, like Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk, and more. Unfiltered, unapologetic truth. Find what you're searching for at snc .tv and on Local Now Channel 525. Hey everybody, today on The Charlie Kirk Show, Harmeet Dillon joins the program as we talk about the election results and what can be done to fix and change the RNC. Alan Dershowitz also joins us to talk about the War Against the Jews, very important book. Email me as always, freedom at charliekirk .com. Get your tickets to America Fest at amfest .com, that is a -m -f -e -s -t dot com, amfest .com. Get involved with Turning Point USA at tpusa .com, that is tpusa .com. Start a high school or college chapter today at tpusa .com. Buckle up everybody, here we go. Charlie what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie, he's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Do we want to win? That's such an obvious question. The great rush Limbaugh taught us that establishment Republicans deep down don't want to win. They want to be controlled opposition, have the media to cover fire for them, be invited to cocktail parties, go on codels, do debates with NBC News. Winning requires responsibility and deep down Republicans would rather be attachés, they would rather be puppets and controlled by the Democrats. This is why Donald Trump was such a threat to them. When Donald Trump actually won it was shock and awe throughout of Washington D .C. Wait, we actually won something? Donald Trump's insistence on winning is not something the Republican establishment wants. They would rather lose all throughout. The RNC leadership does not want to win. They have a track record of losing. Do I get any sort of, did you guys see Ronna or any of those cabal members get upset today? No, they're too busy doing a debate with NBC News because they hate you. Joining us now is Harmeet Dillon. Harmeet, welcome to the program. Harmeet, you sent out a tweet of you just with your hands up. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I'm, look, I'm trying to be diplomatic here, I'm a member of the RNC, but in reality what I and all the other 156, 168 members of the RNC expect is that we are going to be going strong and doing the blocking and tackling for our candidates and creating the best situation for our candidates to win. And what happened yesterday was not that. Now, the RNC is not the only body whose job it is to elect a publicist. In fact, our main focus is supposed to be electing a president. I'll get to that in a minute. But we ought to be providing guidance and sort of a playbook for state parties to be able to get it right. For a while, to be frank, state parties have also not necessarily done their jobs in raising the money necessarily, but you know, you look at Kentucky, the Republican Governors Association's job is to raise the money and spend it so that our candidate does not outspend three or four to one. We need help with messaging. We need to update our playbook to make sure that we're gathering the ballots and getting those local density ballots in early, like the Democrats are doing, and that's not a volunteer activity anymore. Democrats are spending billions of dollars doing that over the last few election cycles, and we're just not even doing a drop in the bucket compared to that. So, you know, RNC's competence is necessary but not sufficient to win these elections. And I hope yesterday was a wake up call to all Republicans that we have less than one year to really get our act together and immediately engage and get this right. Otherwise, we are going to be looking at years of war and misery like we're suffering right now. So, Harmeet, just there's a debate tonight. It's kind of perplexing to do a debate with NBC News. Are other members of the RNC equally as confused? People are pretty puzzled by some of these choices to be frank, but most of us have no input in it. I used to be on the executive committee of the RNC. I'm not right now. We have a debate committee. I have a couple of friends on the debate committee and, you know, frankly even some of them are surprised by some of these choices, not just the venues that we're doing them for the platforms but also the specific moderators have been selected. It seems almost pointless or like fiddling while Rome is burning to be engaging with the far left here and letting them dictate the terms of our candidate selection. I'm not paying attention to that, to be honest with you. I'm really worried about what's happening in our country, what happened yesterday and figuring out how we can work around our national effort and make sure this gets done in the states or we're doing them. So, I'm going to ask a hypothetical that isn't so hypothetical. Hypothetical for you, not hypothetical for me. Is there a way to recall or remove an RNC chair this far into the game? You know, in the past, hypothetically, where there have been chairs who have failed completely, the executive committee of the Republican National Committee can certainly step in and, let's say, tighten the purse strings, set some boundaries, and make it very difficult. But, you know, Ronna got a mandate in January. She won pretty decisively. People ask me, are you going to confess that? No, I'm not going to confess. She definitely won the election with a significant percentage of the votes and there were major political operatives in our country on the Republican side whipping votes for her and there are many, many political consultants who really run the party who are very invested in the way it is. So, I don't really see that happening. So, you know, while it's convenient to pick a scapegoat we RNC for what happened yesterday, we got to get it together and not just complain on Twitter. We actually have to just understand this is the situation that we have and work around it. There are state parties. It is the job of state parties to get money and get it together and get a game play. Election laws vary by state. Some states have voter ID. Some states have 45 days of early voting. Whatever the situation is in your state, if you can't change it by election day, figure it out and learn how to master it. We've done that in California, for example. You know, we hate the system, but we've learned to figure out where we can win elections, ballot harvest, ballot cure, and get it done. And we do win those targeted elections. Yeah, Harmeet, I have a serious concern that we don't have the infrastructure necessary to win coming into next November. We are running out of time. You sent a tweet, you sent a tweet out some of this and you said this, which is the infrastructure is just not there. You know, we're not seeing the sort of consolidation of resources. And Harmeet, I know you have to be diplomatic because you're colleagues, all these people. But I'm going to say something I'm sure you're hearing. This is not just a grassroots concern. High level donors, the richest people, are actually saying very similar things as the grassroots as far as why do why are we not placing these investments? This is an unprecedented chapter where the rank and file precinct committeeman, the plumber, the electrician, the welder, the teacher, the mom is saying the same thing as the person worth a couple hundred million dollars. Are you hearing that too, Harmeet? I am hearing it. I spoke to some donor representatives just earlier this week of billionaire donors, reliable conservative donors. Quite a few of those folks supported change with the RNC. They didn't see it. And they're sitting on their hands right now. And that's unfortunate because these investments can't happen in October next year. They can't happen and they can't there can't be like, OK, let's call up some volunteer lawyers in September and hopefully they'll put down their laptops and go into the field and stuff. That's not how the Democrats do it. And since 2004, Democrat billionaires and big donors have been systematically and in a disciplined way, investing in legal warfare, investing in ballot harvesting, investing in smart tactical development of ballot measures and other bait, if you will, to get their voters to the polls, the high propensity voters. They have the money to pay the mules, gather these ballots and get them in. We are 20 years behind now. And, you know, I feel like watching a debate tonight is like fiddling while home is burning. It is not relevant to winning the election next year. Now, it has to be done. We can't skip this process. But, you know, I wonder why we're doing it with unfriendly moderators and platforms. It seems like a lost opportunity. Bottom line, if we have been investing in lawfare and in the army of ballot gatherers that we need, like, by the way, Turn Point Action is doing. Tyler's been out there doing that work. It's inspiring and it's important. There need to be a hundred Tyler's and a hundred Turn Point Actions out there doing this work in different states. There's, you know, some party patriots and other groups are doing it, but we just aren't doing enough of it. We have to have more. And yesterday needs to be a five alarm fire wake up call. Do not expect largesse from D .C. to save our butts. OK. Organize at the state and local level and find the local lawyers. And I can help with that. Find the people necessary and prepare the ground. Because if we don't, I mean, literally as we speak, my partners are flying around the country defending the right of President Trump to be on the ballot. This is extraordinary that the banana republics, that the regime tries to prevent the most popular opposition candidate from being free or from being on the ballot. That's what's happening in America right now. So, you know, that's that's what's at stake. And if you get, you know, let's not just use Twitter as a sport and get on there. Oh, you know, it's X person's fault. It's Y person's fault. That doesn't move the needle. What moves the needle is putting on your big girl in boy pants, getting out there, helping raise the money and helping be the person who organizes the precincts, finds out which neighbors aren't voting and why and persuade them. And if they're not even going to do that, then find a way to persuade them to turn their ballot over and you get it in for them. That's what it's going to take. Harmeet Dillon, wish you were RNC chair. We'd be in a much better spot. Thank you so much. See you soon. My pleasure. Thanks for having me.

A highlight from MASSIVE RIPPLE XRP NEWS!! HSBC METACO, RIPPLE PAYMENTS XRP LEDGER, AFRICA EXPANSION
"Welcome to the Thinking Crypto podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. Well, folks, I'm recording this in the airport because I'll be traveling over the next few days. So content will be a bit late, but I wanted to share the following bullish news. It's incredible around Ripple and XRP. First, I want to start off with Bitcoin, though, because CME futures open interest just surpassed 100 ,000 Bitcoin for the first time ever. Are you bullish yet, folks? I think we see the bull market on the horizon. It's going to take some time. We've got the Bitcoin halving next year. We also have the Bitcoin spot ETF approvals around the corner. So I think the markets recognize this and we are seeing bullish activity. Now let's jump into the Ripple news. First, we got Ripple introducing what's called Ripple payments. The next evolution of Ripple's payments product, delivering a licensed end to end solution for financial institutions and SMEs with 70 plus payout markets, expanded crypto liquidity options, integration with the XRP ledger, decentralized exchange and much more. So they did a full breakdown on their websites. But here we're just seeing Ripple expanding and the use of the XRP ledger is involved. So a lot of the folks who've been saying that XRP will never be used, banks, no one will ever use XRP. Now it's pretty clear what's happening and I'm bullish on XRP. It has the clear path, the clear runway with the SEC lawsuit wrapping up recently. And it has the clarity to go hit new all time highs in the next bull market. So let me give you some of the details here from their blog posts. Ripple has received money transmitter licenses across numerous US jurisdictions, allowing Ripple payments to offer its products and services within those jurisdictions. With single onboarding, customers are now able to access nearly 100 % of global payout coverage to more than 70 payout markets through Ripple's international payments network. A new integration with the XRP Ledger's native decentralized exchange will buttress global liquidity options for Ripple customers, streamlining customer onboarding into new markets and improving product performance. Through newly expanded liquidity options, Ripple payments can fulfill customers' liquidity needs on demand 24 -7, 365 days per year. Huge news. Now, remember Medeco, a firm that Ripple has invested in, and then they backed out from purchasing, but they're still an active investor, but here's some big news they put out today. HSBC that announced it will be working with Medeco as it plans to launch a new digital assets custody service for institutional clients who invest in tokenized securities. We've been talking about the token economy, everything on the blockchain, assets, securities, real estate, you name it, everything running on the blockchain. And Ripple, of course, is in the mix here, right? With HSBC, a bank, of course, and Medeco. So here's a photo of the team together, Monica Long, who I've had on the podcast, and we'll try to get her back on soon. So huge things happening in the market, folks, and even Medeco's CEO weighed in on this, what HSBC is going to be doing. And obviously, like I said, Ripple is in the mix, and you can imagine the XRP Ledger will be used for tokenization, right? Because you can tokenize pretty much anything on the XRP Ledger. Now we also have news that Ripple has formed a new partnership with Onafriq, if I'm saying that right, O -N -A -F -R -I -Q, which will utilize Ripple payments. Our crypto -enabled payments technology to open up three new payments corridors between Africa and the rest of the world. Folks, I see global expansion happening here. So there you have it, folks, XRP Ledger is in the mix of all of this, and Africa is one of the biggest markets out there with many countries within Africa who have emerging economies and are using blockchain tech and much more. So huge, huge partnership here. I hope you see what's happening. As I said before, I am bullish on XRP. Now the SEC has filed their opposition to Binance's motion to dismiss, and Paul Grewal, chief legal officer at Coinbase, weighed in on this. I'm not going to read through everything, but a TLDR here. He highlights the SEC asserts that a virtually unlimited flexibility of the securities laws grants it a complete authority over crypto exchanges. That misrepresents the law. So Paul goes into details, but that's the TLDR. The SEC, once again, not abiding by the law, they've been called out by the judges in many different cases, being called arbitrary and capricious in the grayscale lawsuit. So we got to keep fighting, we got to keep exposing scumbag regulator, Gary Gensler. So we got to get on social media, contact our representatives and much more. Now we've got news here that Polygon and NEAR, the NEAR protocol, are bringing ZKWASM, so WASM to life if you want to call it that. So the ZKWASM prover research is underway and expected to launch next year. Let me give some details on what this is. This means that developers who build with Polygon's chain development kit, CDK and open source code base will soon be able to use the ZKWASM as a prover. As you all know, with zero knowledge proof technology, you know, everybody's trying to get this going. It's going to be the next layer in how we transact on the blockchains in ZK technology. A prover refers to the party trying to show a claim is accurate to a verifier without revealing the information itself. A verifier is responsible for acknowledging that the information is accurate. So it's great to see these two blockchains working together, NEAR and Polygon. I don't hold any of the NEAR tokens. I do have Matic in my portfolio. I am bullish on Polygon Matic. They're being used by quite a few brands with NFTs and Web3. So this is pretty interesting. We also got news here that decentralized AI platform Ritual lands $25 million in seed funding. We're seeing capital flowing into the market, both into the infrastructure, companies building the infrastructure, as well as the tokens. The Ritual is the brainchild of Web3 investor, Neeraj Pant, who funded projects like Eigenlayer with Anselana and the Keshpoti, Quant, and then builder at data analytics company Palantir. Over the last year, AI companies have witnessed significant growth that offers new experiences, products, and a new source of revenue, Pant said. Although this may be the case, there are also significant problems taking place. So one of the things I've been talking about is that blockchain is gonna be a solution to help police AI, as we are seeing a lot of deep fakes when it comes to media, content, video, you name it, that's gonna be an issue. So blockchain will help verify is the source of this content and this information coming from the actual source, or is it from AI and something that was spinned up by a nefarious actor or whatever it may be. And look, we're also gonna need to have AI police AI itself. So we'll see how things go, but blockchain is the way to improve that verifiability around different content and the rise of deep fakes and so forth. Finally, as our sponsor is Uphold, one of the great crypto exchanges out there, they have plus 260 cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, all the top old coins, they're fully reserved, secure. I've interviewed the CEO, CFO, so I trust this platform, I've been using it since 2018. So if you'd like to learn more about Uphold, check out the link in the description.

With me today is Caleb Franzen, who's the founder of Cubic Analytics. Caleb, it's great to have you back on. Tony, good to see you, man. I think the last time we were here was back in April, I want to say. So six, seven months ago is a good recurring basis to get back together and talk markets, man. Yeah, absolutely, man. And you provide some valuable insights in your newsletter as well as on Twitter or X, as Elon would call it now. So I've been following you and appreciate your insights. So I wanted to get you on here to go a bit deeper and talk about what's the outlook for Bitcoin in the short term as well as long -term and some of the top altcoins. What are your thoughts on the recent rally and do you expect Bitcoin to go a bit higher? Things are looking pretty solid. I think at the beginning of the year, I started out a little bit towards the doom and gloom side. But one of the things that I said was regardless of what was going to be happening in the markets this year, I was going to be buying assets. I was going to be buying equities. I was going to be buying Bitcoin. And that's exactly what I've been doing pretty much all year. Back in January, something very important happened, and that was the price of Bitcoin got above the short -term holder realized price, which is basically the short -term cost basis of all Bitcoin that has been transacted within a six -month window. And historically, that's always a bull market signal. If price can get above the short -term holder realized price and stay above that level, good things tend to happen. Every bull market in Bitcoin's history is characterized by that one simple fact. Then a bunch of other bullish signals happened thereafter. And so piece by piece, indicator by indicator, we've been stacking bullish evidence. And now we actually have the fundamentals to really back this up. We have the halving, which is basically 160 days away. We have spot ETFs that are basically, I truly believe plural, are going to be getting approved likely in a blanket approval process. And then if my macro outlook is on track, we're going to have continued disinflation, which is likely going to be bullish for assets across the board. I think it already has been very bullish this year. Look at the stock market, look at Bitcoin, look at Ethereum, so on and so forth. But if that disinflation continues, as I look forward, I've been referring to it as non -recessionary or disinflationary rate cuts beginning in the third quarter of next year. At this point, I'm not willing to entertain rate cuts before then. But my thesis right now is that the Fed will start to do a total of 100 to 250 basis points worth of cuts. If they do that from a pause of 5 .33%, we're really going to have still tight rates, still high real federal funds rate, real interest rates, so on and so forth, but just less restrictive than if they continue to pause. And so I think the Fed is recognizing that. They're not openly admitting it yet, because they're still using their rhetoric and forward guidance as a policy tool. That's one of the big benefits that they have. They can forecast to the market, even if they're kind of fibbing, or they want to maintain maximum flexibility. And so they're giving themselves a long leash with a lot of slack. And so, man, I'm feeling very optimistic about Bitcoin, especially right now. I've recently started buying Bitcoin mining stocks. Once again, I was trading those at the beginning of the year with a lot, a lot of success. And now I'm really kind of viewing this as a six to 12 -month thesis for the miners. So I'm basically going to be DC 'ing into those over the next two months, probably daily. And so I'm feeling very optimistic about things right now. So I'm happy to kind of take that wherever you want, but that's kind of my baseline. Yeah. And great points you brought up and with the macro and the Fed and their narratives and things they're doing. And it seems, to your point, that they are officially paused. Now, there's always the possibility that they could raise, but it seems like they're officially paused. And as you mentioned, with the halving coming up, the Bitcoin spot ETF approvals around the corner, certainly a bullish time. So if you can share the Bitcoin chart and tell us what you're seeing for the short term. Some people are saying, hey, this is a start to the run up to new all -time highs. Some are saying, hey, this is like a 2019 move. A retracement will probably hit a certain Fibonacci level and then roll over. And then the slow steady grind to new all -time highs in 2025. What's your thoughts and thesis around that? So here's Bitcoin. And one of the things that I like to use, I don't rely on the exponential moving average specifically, and I don't look at the simple moving average specifically. So something I'm trying to kind of shine more light on is something that I'm calling the 200 -day moving average cloud. So I'm combining both of them. The EMA is shown in teal, and the SMA is shown in yellow. And we could see very clearly, this has been a strong level of both dynamic support and resistance. In my opinion, so long as we stay above this level, good things happen. We've been able to stay above it now after a brief consolidation below. You can see in several cases here, we actually used it as resistance, flipped it into support, taking off. So this is very optimistic kind of price structure overall. And now we've really kind of cleared through this range as well. This was a level that I was highlighting back in January, actually, when we got above the 200 -day moving average cloud, saying, now we need to focus on the next level of structural resistance. So I was calling for this range even above 25 ,000 going all the way up to 30K back then. And we ticked it a couple of times, and we've sold off since then. So now we're back above it. It's now valid potential support. And so I continue to think so long as we stay above this level, which is basically from 31 ,000 all the way to 32 .8K, we could see price rebound here for sure. But overall, this chart looks fantastic. One of the things that I mentioned earlier was this short -term holder realized price. And so as we look at the dynamics right now with respect to the short -term holder realized price, it also looks very similar to what we're seeing on that 200 -day moving average cloud. We flipped it into resistance. We had the breakout here, support, support, temporary breakdown here. This was a bit of a concern for me. But so long as we're back above it, I think we can be very, very optimistic. And so one of the things that I say about my approach personally is that I always try to stay dynamic and flexible based on the data and the chart in front of me. So if we fall below the short -term holder realized price, you're going to see me on podcasts. You're going to see me on Twitter sounding a little bit more defensive, not necessarily bearish, but willing to be patient and willing to kind of consider downside scenarios. If we stay above this level, I'm going to be coming on these shows saying, we're going higher, we're going higher, we're going higher. This is bullish price structure because it is. So that thesis might be wrong. Things can change. Markets are dynamic. We don't know what the future holds. So it's really important to kind of have, first of all, levels of invalidation and places that we can kind of stay dynamic based on data, based on indicators and based on statistics. And so as I look at this right now, I also want to highlight one other fact, which is that this short -term holder realized price, look at the slope of it. So in terms of the rate of change, that red level is grinding higher and higher. That is generally emblematic of a bull market because it indicates that short -term holders increasing are their cost basis over the past six months. And that's what you want to see in a bull market is people continuing to bid, continuing to bid, price grind higher, people keep bidding, and that short -term holder realized price steadily moves higher. If we look at something like the long -term holder realized price, we see almost the exact same dynamic taking place. It's much flatter. But if we really kind of zoom in on this level, and let's actually even go a little bit closer, we can see now that this is really starting to tick higher basically since August and September, right? So as this long -term holder realized price also starts to grind higher, again, this is very bullish for the long term. The last chart that I'll share with Bitcoin is I mentioned this 200 -day moving average cloud, but the one for me that's the most important is this 200 -week moving average cloud. So basically the exact same indicator, and we're solidly above that. Once again, I outlined this as a price target in January 25 ,000 and said, if we can get above there, it'll be very bullish. Sure enough, we broke above and we flipped it into support now several times. We've been writing this 200 -week moving average cloud as almost perfect support. We haven't closed below it all the way since March of this year before the banking crisis, right? So the fact that this is still working as dynamic support and it also has a positive slash rising slope is very strong for Bitcoin. And if Bitcoin is strong, as we all know, that creates a massive ripple effect throughout the entire kind of crypto ecosystem where good things can happen at the very least. I'll just leave it at that. And so I think whether or not you're someone who leans towards being a Bitcoin maximalist, whether you're a short -term trader, whether you're solely focused on investing in altcoins, you have to be watching these Bitcoin charts. And at the very least, they're all showing us bullish dynamics right now. So as far as I'm concerned, this looks fantastic. So do you see the move upwards similar to 2016 or a 2019 to 2020 type scenario? I know it's hard to predict that because like you said, the market's dynamic and we have to wait as the data comes in. But what does your gut tell you? Because as we discussed, we have these narratives, these strong narratives like the Bitcoin halving and as well as the Bitcoin bodies, which could send the price a little parabolic, maybe not to new all -time highs in the immediate, but in the short term, a strong move up. This cycle, in my opinion, is very different than prior cycles. I still expect to see the halving have a very similar effect. Everyone who I talk to, even people who are in the crypto ecosystem, a lot of people are dismissing the impact of the halving. And someone asked me recently like, based your on thesis with the halving, with these non -recessionary rate cuts, with the spot ETF approvals, doesn't everybody know all of this? Isn't this already priced in? And I was saying, I don't think it is because everyone is talking about, oh, the halving isn't going to have as much of an impact as it had in the past, if any impact at all. People are debating if the halving is even a useful indicator for price or a catalyst for price. Everyone knows about the spot ETFs, but a lot of people aren't really sure. I saw someone recently talking about, hey, Canada has had a spot ETF for over a year. How come that hasn't created? So even still, there's all this concern about whether or not the spot ETFs are going to have a catalyst for moving higher. And I don't really think too many people are talking about non -recessionary rate cuts in the third quarter of next year. So in my opinion, not much of this is really priced in yet. And I think one of the big kind of takeaways, so let me just tie this back into your question, which is what kind of cycle does this mimic or mirror? If I would pick any of them, I would say 2019, just because the risk of a recession is still there. So if we think back to 2019, we bottomed in December of 2018, and we started to move higher from there. And then COVID happened. We have some exogenous recession, which brought price down significantly. We fell from over 10 ,000 back down to 3 ,500. We could still have one of those scenarios. So I don't want people watching this to just hear me come on here and just sound like it's up only from here. We still have to consider downside scenarios. And so I would say maybe 2019 is most similar. But in the event that we can avoid that recession, get those disinflationary rate cuts, and then we have the halving catalyst plus spot ETFs coming online, I think one of the big takeaways that I had from that whole coin telegraph debacle was that we had a $5 ,000 candle in 15 minutes on unverified news. And so the thing I've been encouraging people to think about and ask this question is how does price react to an SEC press release, if not a press conference, about spot ETF blanket approvals? How does the market react to, in a sustained manner, to verified news about this getting approved? How does the market react to BlackRock really coming on TV every week, every month, pounding the table on Bitcoin, advertising, calling up wealth management shops, the whole nine yards? I mean, I used to work in wealth management. We used to get hounded all the time by these ETF companies and their sales reps to talk about their products. They wanted to take you out for lunch, this, that, and the other. So what does that look like with BlackRock, with Valkyrie, with ARK, with Wisdom Tree, with all of these companies coming out promoting their spot Bitcoin ETFs? And so if we had like, let me tie this back now because I'm going on my soapbox tangent because I get so excited. If we had a $5 ,000 candle in 15 minutes, genuinely ask yourself, what does that market environment look like when we get a formal announcement, press releases from the SEC, press releases from BlackRock and all these ETFs, so on and so forth in a sustained manner? And so I think if and when that does happen, this market environment, or that market environment is going to look completely unlike what we've ever seen in the past. Yeah, it's a good point. I've been also thinking about that. Once that news goes live, what's going to happen, right? It's going to be euphoria, people are going to go a bit nuts, but also in the back of my mind, I'm cautiously optimistic because I see in the macro, look, the stock market doesn't look that strong. It looks a little bearish. In addition, you have these economic factors where debt is at an all time high, not just for the government, but for consumers, credit card, and it seems like something's going to break. I'm not saying I want that to happen. It's just, it feels very 2008 -ish, not with the housing market, but personal consumers and their credit card debt and car loans and so forth. So I'm like, how can these two things be running in parallel? But maybe like you said, it's a completely different time. The Fed and the central banks can print money and artificially inflate certain things where they can inject money behind the scenes. I don't know, but this is where all my thoughts are. And I'm like, hmm, I don't know what's going to happen next. It's tumultuous for sure, right? And I think generally I had a very defensive kind of outlook on what macro was going to be this year. And I think everyone, regardless of what their preconceived notions were going into the beginning of the year, should be pleasantly surprised at the resilient nature of the economy, of the labor market, of the US consumer. You talk about consumer debt, but what most people don't do is divide that consumer debt by personal disposable income. And that level is at historic lows, right? It's certainly creeping up higher, but on a relative basis, relative to income, that debt is very, very manageable, actually. And I saw so many headlines about this a couple of months ago about consumer credit cards crossing $1 trillion in balances. There's still well over $2 .5 trillion in unused credit card amounts. So basically, these consumers have the ability to tap into much, much more credit if they actually wanted to and needed to. And so the fact that we're simply at a trillion in and of itself is not reflective of a negative economic environment from my perspective. And look, I'm someone who used to be a hardcore gold bug. I used to be a massive advocate of Peter Schiff and what he used to talk about. And so I used to be extremely concerned about things like deficits and credit and the Fed's money printing until you realize that it really doesn't create actionable investment advice. And at the end of the day, I think you have to ask yourself and look in the mirror, are we here to be right or are we here to make money? And so if you're a trader, you're certainly looking to be both. If you're going to make money, you almost intrinsically have to be right. But I think if you're going to have your focus be on macro, I see so many people who have really pigeonholed themselves into a corner about being very bearish. And it's that classic phrase about the broken clock can be right twice a day. And eventually, those people will be proven correct. We are certainly going to have a recession. It's just a matter of does that recession happen six months, 12 months, 24 months or 36 months down the line? And if it does happen somehow 36 months down the line, what do asset markets do over the next 36 months? So what, are you going to stay sidelined for the next 36 months because you think a recession is coming? I mean, be my guest. That's not how I'm going to invest and allocate my personal portfolio. So for me, I stopped paying as much attention to that. And I started kind of approaching it from almost like a first principles perspective and kind of diving a little bit deeper into these numbers and starting to realize those talking points are exactly that. They're bearish macro doomer talking points. But again, I don't think that they actually provide actionable sound investment advice, I guess you could say. Yeah. And that's a great point, Caleb, because I look back at 2020 when the economy got shut down, yet markets were pumping. I mean, it's almost surreal, right? When you think about it, stock market was going crazy, Bitcoin and the crypto market was going crazy in a period where there was panic, fear and shutdown, right? So to your point, yes, those things exist, but you can't focus too much on them and there's not usually that many actionable items from them. Sure. And I think the biggest takeaway from this mini conversation that we're having here on macro is it's really important to remember, and I've talked about this in the past, the stock market is not the economy.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Hong Kong Spot Crypto ETFs?
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal. It's Tuesday, November 7th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from Coindesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, Coindesk collaborator and author of The Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about crypto fund inflows, a development in Asia, the US lending outlook, and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice and turn on notifications. And just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. After last week's excitement, most markets are more Coindesk indices. At 9am Eastern Time today, Bitcoin was trading down 0 .75 % over the past 24 hours at $34 ,794. Ether was down 1 .8%, trading at $1 ,874. Elsewhere, XRP, NEAR and Stellar's XLM token are down 6%, Arbitrum and Maker are down 4%. It's not all red, though. Solana and and Kronos is up 10%. In macro indicators today, I want to talk about a banking report with a cute name that sheds a sharp light on the US economic outlook. The Senior Loan Officer Opinions Survey, known as the SLUS, is a quarterly survey conducted by the US Federal Reserve of up to 80 large domestic banks and 24 branches of international banks. It asks bank representatives how they feel about lending practices, the state of loan demand, recent and potential policy changes, and other topics of current interest. It's significant in that it is the most on -the -ground way to get a glimpse of just how much banks are willing to lend and what kind of demand they're seeing. If lending dries up, consumers spend less and businesses can't grow and may have to close. Whereas if banks start lending more, then we can probably expect more economic growth ahead. Over the past few quarters, the percentage of banks that have been tightening their lending conditions was increasing. Tightening lending conditions basically means making it harder for businesses and individuals to get loans, and the data suggested that it was getting harder and harder. The latest report, however, shows a turn. Just over 30 % of banks are still tightening lending conditions, which sounds like a lot, but it's down from almost 50 % in the previous quarter. Demand for business loans fell in Q3, but the net percentage of banks reporting this dropped from the previous quarter, so it sounds like the pace of the decline is slowing down. Consumer lending tells a different story. The proportion of banks reporting weaker demand for credit card loans, auto loans, and other consumer products increased from the second quarter. In other words, the drop in demand for consumer loans is accelerating. This is hardly surprising given the increase in interest rates.

A highlight from Austin Campbell Interview - The SEC is Losing to Crypto! PayPal's Stablecoin, CBDCS, Crypto Regulations
"The SEC in particular is doing two things that I find pretty odious. One is trying to constantly expand their remit without telling people what the rules are. Contrast this to, say, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC. I disagree with them on some aspects on policy, but they're willing to clearly and publicly state what they think the rules are and what people are allowed to do. They put a note in the Federal Register laying out their views on blockchains pretty clearly for their banks. So, Uphold is available in over 150 countries, and they are a safe platform. They have full reserve of customer assets. They don't commingle or lend your funds out, and they provide audits of their reserves. So, it's a safe platform, and I trust it. I vouch for it, and I've interviewed the CEO, the CFO, and other representatives of the company. So, if you'd like to learn more about Uphold, please visit the link in the description. Thank you so much for joining us today. We'll be getting started in just a couple of minutes. But first, let's get started with some of the news and interviews. With me today is Austin Campbell, who's the founder and managing partner of Zero Knowledge Consulting. Austin, great to have you on the show. Yeah, thank you very much. Excited to be here. Austin, as mentioned before the recording, I wanted to speak to you for a long time. I've listened to your testimony before Congress. You're very knowledgeable about the crypto market and blockchain tech, so I've got a lot of questions for you. But let's kick it off with your background. Tell us about yourself, where you're from, and where did you grow up? Yeah, so where am I from? Where did I grow up? The answer to that is the West Coast, despite the fact that I am in New York right now. So, I grew up in San Diego, California, which means everywhere else I live in the rest of the world, the weather is just strictly worse. So, I have just accepted that as a part of my life. But I've lived all over the place. I've lived in multiple US states across the West, the East, the Midwest, and traveled pretty extensively for work, especially throughout Asia. So, I've lived technically in New York longer than anywhere else in my life, but I'm old enough to have a lot of gray hair and New York is only 14 years, so. Wow. Yeah, you mentioned San Diego. My wife, she loves Santa Monica. It's funny, the grass is always greener. She wants to go to Santa Monica, leave the northeast area.

A highlight from SEC GARY GENSLER CALLED OUT FOR CRYPTO FAILURES!!
"The SEC is having trouble hiring crypto experts, you don't say? And SEC Commissioner Mark Ueda is calling out the agency on their lack of rules and regulations around the crypto industry. Also the UK has released their staple coin regulation ban, and a bunch of NFT goers at the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT convention went blind? Let's break it down. Welcome to the Thinking Crypto podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. Well folks, we've got a report here from Jeff Roberts, who is a crypto editor at Fortune magazine. He said the SEC is having trouble hiring crypto experts because of a rule they must sell all their crypto. He said, would make more sense to allow staff to hold a modest amount. This would also make them better at their job. So the SEC unbelievably is saying you have to sell all your crypto, right? It's not that they have to sell all their crypto, they should obviously have to disclose it and they should understand the technology and be able to use it and test it out. But of course we're dealing with scumbag regulator, Gary Gensler, who's making up all kinds of buddies can come in and take over. Matt Hogan of Bitwise, who I've had on the podcast quite often, he weighed in on the matter. He said, an obvious but unspoken implication of this is that the SEC will be staffed by people who dislike crypto. The only people with crypto expertise and a willingness to divest 100 % of their crypto are deep seated skeptics. This rule enforces a strong bias in hiring. Paul Grewal of Coinbase said, believe it or not, as a federal magistrate judge, I used to have a traffic ticket docket, think national parks, defense bases, VA hospitals. Imagine if the parties had learned a person deciding their auto accident case was forbidden from driving a car. Great points here. Now, Mark Ueda, who's one of the sitting SEC commissioners, and he is a Republican, him and Hester Peirce have both been vocal critics of the agency and on their lack of rules and clarity around crypto, also against many of the enforcement actions. So here's the headline, SEC should consider proposing rules to regulate crypto, Republican commissioner says. So I'm glad Mark Ueda is coming out and saying these things because it can't just be Hester Peirce. And right now, for the most part, it seems like Hester Peirce is outnumbered. So Mark needs to be more vocal, I'm glad he is speaking up. So here's a quote from him, unfortunately, the SEC did not take this approach and instead is pursuing a case by case approach through enforcement actions. As a result, it will take years to reach any type of legally binding precedent as matters will need to wind their way through the courts before reaching the court of appeals level, Ueda said on Monday in prepared remarks in London. So I hope he continues to speak on this, to show the agency is not in a good place, they are not providing clear guidance, they are operating by regulation by enforcement, which is really asinine. While the rest of the world is moving ahead, providing clear regulations. Now Eleanor Terrett of Fox Business highlighted the following, she tweeted, the House Appropriations GOP financial services and general government bill is up for vote before the rules committee at 4 p .m. Eastern before it heads to the floor. It includes an amendment from Tennessee Congressman Representative Tim Burchett to reduce the salary of SEC Chair Gary Gensler to one dollar. It also includes an amendment to defund the SEC for crypto enforcement. So shout out to Representative Tim Burchett, who's bringing the fire here on Gary Gensler. And we got to do these things, folks, to put some pressure. Gary Gensler should be fired and the SEC needs to be revamped. Congressman Warren Davidson has put out a bill, of course, that would revamp the entire structure of the SEC to make it less political and to make it more efficient. So let's see where this goes. But I love that these bills are coming out more pressure on scumbag regulator Gary Gensler. Now here's an interesting update around the Federal Reserve, and it just speaks to government and the lack of knowledge and education in government about crypto. So Matthew Seigel, who's head of crypto research at VanEck, he said, I met a Federal Reserve crypto researcher at a conference last week. He doesn't own any digital assets. He's not allowed to and didn't understand the difference between an exchange and a custodian. Folks, I'm face palming right now. I know you can't see me. And if you're listening on a podcast platform, trust me, I'm face palming right now. He doesn't understand the difference between an exchange and a custodian. God help us, right? These are the people who are trying to regulate crypto and putting out rules and recommendations and papers and so forth. It's unbelievable. But I know there are folks working to help bring education to Congress, and that is blockchain association, the Chamber of Digital Commerce and so forth. So we'll see, folks. We got a lot of work to do. This is why we have to use social media to our advantage to keep tweeting out, sharing the facts and exposing lies and false information like from the likes of Elizabeth Warren and others. Now, the juxtaposition of that is the UK's Bank of England releases stablecoin regulation plan. Remember, the UK had passed crypto regulations, so did the EU. So the US is lagging behind. And folks, stablecoins are going to be part of the token economy and will be a big part of how people transact. So there needs to be regulations. And we're seeing here in the United States, the SEC sending a subpoena to PayPal over their stablecoin, right? It's unbelievable what's happening. So the United Kingdom Central Bank, the Bank of England, has released a plan to govern the stablecoin market. The BOE and the Financial Conduct Authority plan to follow the rules released by the UK government last week to oversee the digital asset industry. As per the UK government's proposal, regulations for fiat backed stablecoins will begin in early 2024. As per the paper, the BOE will regulate systematic stablecoins while the FCA will govern the larger crypto market. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sanak had announced that he wants the nation to become a crypto hub, introducing clear rules for digital assets and crypto firms falls within the UK's goals. The UK's latest plan follows the European Union and Japan's similar moves. Folks, I love that crypto is not a specific asset class to the United States. So even though we're dealing with scumbag regulator Gary Gensler and all kinds of idiots in the government who have not educated themselves, the market will continue to grow and expand globally. So we can at least put our hope in that. Now we got some really weird news coming out from the Bored Ape Yacht Club and full disclosure, I don't own any Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, but apparently they had an NFT convention and there was some UV lights and folks who were blasted by this prolonged UV light went blind apparently. So, I mean, this is just wild, right? I don't know what to make of it, but just so you guys know, I don't know if any of you went to any of these conventions or this convention, I should say, but, or, you know, somebody who went to this convention, but this is just some wild news coming out of 2023. So heads up on that folks, I want to end it by highlighting our sponsor and that is Uphold, which is a great crypto exchange this month, they're giving away 50 ,000 XRP. All you got to do is complete at least $20 in trades to be eligible to win and Uphold is a great platform. I trust them. I've been using them since 2018. So if you'd like to learn more, please visit the link in the description. Thank you.

Unlocking Business Success
"So of course, we've got leaders who are very well -intentioned when it comes to communication. They're very committed to it. Perhaps they're very naturally effective communicators. And then there's the flip side of that, where they have no idea what they're doing and you have everyone in between. And that's where your professional communication team can really step in, particularly your internal communication professionals. Okay, so can you share some strategies for setting that consistent... So really, leaders can lean on us to provide this coaching. Absolutely. Yeah, so we want leaders to work with us both formally and informally through coaching workshops, one -on -one conversations. And it doesn't end there. Our leaders can do so much to model the communication behavior that they want to see. We can provide them training and resources, as I mentioned, to do that. We can coach them to have more active feedback loops where they're seeking out and not only seeking out feedback, but also acting on it. It can be sharing regular updates, which really creates a deeper level of information, engagement, and transparency with the group too. So really, just leaders staying out in front of their audiences, listening and interacting does so much to build that trust that will be incredibly crucial to the success of the organization. Okay, you mentioned something in their feedback loops, which I love, and I'm wondering if you could explain what those are and how they work. Yeah, so communication is, at its core, meant to be two -way. So it shouldn't just be your leaders sitting on their soapboxes with their megaphones expounding whatever the topic of the day is to their employee group. It's about asking your employees, tell me more about what's going on. What are your aspirations? What are the challenges that you're facing? And then not only listening to that feedback, but taking action. How many of us have taken engagement surveys where we think, okay, well, this information is just going to go in a vault. No one's going to do anything with it, because that's what I've seen year over year. So our leaders need to listen, of course, that is incredibly important, but they also have to take action on that feedback or talk about why they can't take action if it's something that they're not able to address. Right, that's okay. Because otherwise, people feel like they're just giving it lip service, right? They're just doing it because it's the latest fad of the day. Oh, absolutely. Lip service is kind of a naughty word, I would say in communication, because when you're in internal communication, you want to make sure that what you're sharing as a representative of the organization aligns with the vision and the values. So if we're saying we're a people company, and we know that we have benefits that don't support that, or some reduction in force that's coming, it really is, as you were pointing out, it's just lip service. So it becomes incredibly difficult for someone like myself and my peers in internal communication to merge what we see happening within the organization and then trying to communicate something that might be contradictory to that. Yeah, no kidding. So what are some of the factors that an organization really should be looking for considering when they're hiring that internal communication professional? And that is such an interesting question, because what I have found in my career thus far is that organizations often don't know what they don't know when it comes to hiring the right people for internal communication. They think, oh, well, we need someone who can just send an email, or put something on Slack or Viva engage, whatever it is, we just need someone to execute. And they miss all the incredibly important components of internal communication that a professional will have. So if anyone hasn't hired an internal communication professional, or they have in the past and hasn't worked out, they might want to consider looking at a few things. And I'll call out three in particular. So one is the educational background and professional certifications. I have seen so many degrees in communication professionals that I have worked with. I have seen history backgrounds, philosophy backgrounds, dance, very heavily English majors who become communication leads in organizations. So it really is this mixed bag. But if you want to get the most effective communication professional, you should look for someone who has education and training and certifications in a relevant field. So you might be looking for a journalism major, a communication major, someone who has certifications from an accredited organization like the IBC or the GCC.

A highlight from BITCOIN, XRP, & ETHEREUM PUMPING! HIGHER PRICES THIS WEEK??
"The crypto market is pumping. Bitcoin is back over $35 ,000. Ethereum hit $1 ,900. XRP over $0 .68. Solana over $41. Cardano over $0 .34. Can we anticipate higher prices this week? Let's break it down. Welcome to the Thinking Crypto Podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. If you're listening on a podcast platform like Spotify or Apple, please leave a five -star rating and review. It supports the podcast and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, folks, the market is moving and it could be the Asian markets because it's Monday for them and they may be investing in the market, pushing things forward. Regardless, we are seeing green and I'm happy about that. We are waiting for Bitcoin to continue its move up because Bitcoin is the rising tide that lifts all boats and Bitcoin could certainly go to $36 ,000 this week, or it could make a big green candle and move all the way up to $40K. We'll have to wait and see how things play out. But nevertheless, it's looking bullish. It's building support levels here, and then it's going to bounce off those support levels. Now, the alts are looking very strong. ETH is looking really good. XRP is looking really good. I hold both of those in my portfolio. And here's what Crypto Wizard is saying for both XRP and Ethereum. So let's start with Ethereum. He shared a chart here saying Ethereum is gearing up for a breakout from the 296 days of pure accumulation. On his chart, he's showing a move to about $3 ,400, $3 ,500, and possibly to $3 ,600. So this is the retracement move, not the move to new all -time highs, right? Similar to Bitcoin, we're anticipating Bitcoin's move to a target between $40K to $50K. We don't know what the exact top is going to be. Then a rollover to test some of the lows again before slow and steadily moving upwards into the next bull market. So the alts will have a similar pattern, a retracement move, so not to new all -time highs. And I'm certainly going to be taking profits on Bitcoin and ETH, possibly XRP too. He's charting here that the road to 74 cents has started. XRP is up over 10 % from the call he made 48 hours ago. He says a breakout of this ascending triangle in the XRP BTC chart will grant liftoff, perfectly charted and predicted, executed, see below. So he shared his notes from previous tweets. So I think we're going to see a lot of alts move and hear XRP and Ethereum obviously in the top five, top six, or top 10, I should say. They're going to keep moving upwards. So let's see where things go this week, folks. I think we can anticipate higher prices. The question is always, what's the top going to be? So if you are looking to take profits, have a plan, know what you're going to do, and I'm going to take some profits certainly as things keep moving up. Definitely on Solana as well. Solana is up 26 % from a seven -day perspective. And look here, XRP is up 23 % from a seven -day perspective. So that's pretty strong guys, looking very bullish. Now we got some news from attorney John Deaton regarding the Ripple case. As you all know, the SEC dropped their lawsuit against Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larson, the founder of Ripple. So the SEC is in a losing position right now. John said the people who argued that the SEC got a 50 -50 victory in the Ripple case are 100 % wrong. It was more like 90 -10 in Ripple's favor. If Ripple ends up paying a $20 million fine or less, it's a 99 .9 % legal victory. He's absolutely right. Because when you think about all the things the SEC threw at Ripple, saying XRP is a security in all aspects, not in certain aspects, suing Brad and Chris, and just making all types of accusatory statements and so forth over the years, and now the SEC is in the losing position. And folks, I smell blood. So we got to go for the juggler here. We got to put the pressure. We got to keep exposing scumbag regulator, Gary Gensler, not only in this case, but in the Grayscale case and the Coinbase case. We got to put the pressure on because this guy is working with our tax dollars and doing all kinds of buffoonery, lies, hypocrisy, not following the law. And those are not my words, folks. Those are the words of the judges saying the SEC lacks faithful allegiance to the law. So it's up to us to hold these folks accountable and we can make content and contact our representatives and do much more. So John's spot on here. Now there's some crypto funding news that I want to share with you all. Here's the showing more capitals coming into the market, both into coins, as well as the companies building the infrastructure for the market. So two projects focus on zero knowledge, the cryptographic concept of proving a statement true without looking at its contents. Announced funding rounds this week, Variant and 1KX headlined a $6 million fundraise for Modulus, a startup using zero knowledge to bring AI on chain. Stanford University's Blockchain Builders Fund also participated. Look at that folks, Stanford University. Look who's getting involved in investing in crypto, right? Modulus pitches itself as using zero knowledge proofs to let AI developers check that their tools are working as intended without sacrificing decentralization. In a blog post announcing the fundraise, the company said a partnership with Whirlcoin is in the works. Now you all know how I feel about Whirlcoin. I believe they're solving a serious problem. However, the way they're going about it is pretty draconian, right? Scanning your retina and putting your data on the blockchain. We need to make sure that that data is protected and they're not going to be selling it and doing all kinds of stuff with it. So Evolution Equity Partners led a $5 million funding round for Boston -based Toposware, a software development firm hoping to woo developers into its ZK ecosystem. Polygon co -founder Sandeep Nairwal participated in the funding round and is listed as a member of Toposware's advisory council alongside Meta's director of infrastructure and global general manager of IBM. Some other notable fundraisers include Hong Kong -based Animoca Brands received $50 million from a fund owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to boost Saudi Web3 development. Now that right there should be a headline, right? Hong Kong -based Animoca Brands got $50 million from the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to boost the Saudi Web3 development. Folks, it's happening globally. The adoption and investment and building out of the crypto market infrastructure. The Ecubo Protocol, if I'm saying that right, automated market maker, also known as AMM, is poised to raise $12 million from Uniswap's DAO after an initial community token vote. Tech investment giant A16Z is reportedly aiming to raise $3 .4 billion for its next round of venture funds. The firm plans new crypto investment vehicles in 2025. So we talked about this news earlier this week. Base's Surf Derivatives Exchange raised $3 million from ABCDE and others to support its creation of the contracts -based version of Uniswap. Very interesting. Folks, this type of news gets my juices flowing, right? I see the capital coming in, the money is flowing in. And like I said, it goes to both the tokens as well as the companies building in the market. So very bullish news.

But the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true and in him there is no falsehood. Oh, what a great reverse Jesus talking about the authority of the father on whose behalf he speaks for the glory of the father. It's been the whole theme as you read through John 5 and 6 and 7 in John 5. Jesus describes how he discerns what the father is doing and joins with how the father is working everything he does and everything he says is from the father on the authority of the father for the glory of the father, and it makes sense, right? Just think about when you are talking to someone who's an expert in a subject and they're describing to you basically things that they know because of their expertise and you're like, wow, that person is really sharp. They really know what they're talking about when they speak with authority. It causes glory to come to them, and it's not that that is bad to be an expert or something in ways that show your authority, but this is in a spiritual realm and this is so important for you and me. Think about the great commission. Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all the nation. On what basis are we to go today and tell people that they need to repent of their sins and believe in Jesus that that's the only way they can be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life with God. On whose authority are you going to say that? Well, that's the great commission, Matthew 28, 18, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus and we go out as his representatives, so you and I have opportunities today to speak the gospel, not based on our own authority, but based on the authority of Jesus to tell people that if they think about this, to tell people today that if they will turn from their sins and put their trust in Jesus, they'll be forgiven of all their sins before God, they'll have eternal life in heaven. You can pronounce that today. You can proclaim that to somebody else today, not based on your own authority, but based on the authority of Jesus himself who has sent you for the glory of the one who sent you. That's what Jesus is saying the one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, the one who seeks the glory of him who send him is true and then there is no falsehood. So God re help us to speak today on your authority. Yes, and all the different areas we have expertise, we are learning. God help us to speak truly. A God most of all help us today we pray to speak the gospel based on your authority. God help us to tell some body today boldness compassionate does somebody today how they can be saved from their sin and how they can be restored to relationship with you forever. God, we pray out us to speak on your authority today. That word for your glory so that you might be glorified as savior of somebody today, God, please give us boldness to speak this word and your authority for your glory help us to be faithful to this command to make disciples of the nation's today based on your authority. In God as we pray that we pray for the spread of your word and your authority to all the peoples of the earth, including the pinjara people of Bollywood. 52,000 of them no known followers of Jesus God he pray that this people group of pinjara people, in Bangladesh, this Muslim people group that they would hear the word.

"Representative Brad Charles. Appreciate you joining us. Thanks very much for for doing this today. So we've had. We've had had at least one surprise today. Already, they mask mandate Bill that was going to essentially eliminate the mask mandate in schools did not make it through a committee in the house. Can you tell us what happened there? What's going on with that? Well, you know, uh, it was really surprising. There's most of the caucus Republican caucus down here came in fully thinking that we're going to eliminate that mask mandate. Let local School districts decide what to do. But as of right now, all I can say is that the mass mandate is is in, uh, enforced. And it, uh Would say it'll be revisited again, but I don't know. Yeah, this is probably not the last word. I think that's fair to say. Is that not? I mean, we've still got some time and and people will will regroup. But the again most Republican design understand that they're not. They're not interested in in eliminating masks in schools. They're interested in allowing local municipalities local districts to make decisions, right. Right, and that that was the goal that came in this morning and it it's kind of got sad tracked right now, you know, there are quite a few members that think that the mask on young Children is not a good idea. And we're having that debate as we speak. Um, you know, I just came out of a committee committee meeting. And, uh, you know, we're going to look and we're going to look more into. You know, we've got a couple more days here so Anything can happen in Frankfurt. That's uh, that's the way it goes down here. Sometimes you get curve balls and you And you don't know where they're coming from. You know, trying to be non partisan about this? I think both Democrats and Republicans they had mentioned this earlier. Democrats and Republicans both have a have a real problem here. Covid is is a bad deal for everybody. And there really are no good answers on a lot of these things. I mean, we're all kind of doing the best we can. Whatever side of the aisle you're on. But I mean it does present it presents the Legislature and the governor and local districts and everything with some with some real problems and and there are not easy answers to a lot of those problems. So I'm not surprised if there's going to be, you know, serious debate, and maybe some big surprises come out of this in the next few days. Yeah, we're doing quite a few things. The mask mandate is not the only thing. It seems to be very important to many people in the state. I get more emails on that. Then I get on anything both sides of the other, uh, issues I get emails like crazy, but You know, it's not over till it's shiny die. And even though this did sidetrack, uh I think that we'll see it revisited again. But, you know, I'm just one person out of one, right? Well, let me ask you about about school districts. I think school districts have some real challenges here because they mean you've got quarantine situations in the U. They have only so much anti to deal with. They don't have the flexibility that some administrators want. Is there any Is there any relief or change? But you see, coming down the pike here that would give school districts more flexibility to handle covid problems. Well, you see, That's the thing that we have omnibus bills. The the additional, Um Virtual remote days was in that bill that died today and there were many other things, You know we were going to allow schools to operate down below the usual 75% attendance and not take a penalty. We were going to, uh, you know, give give a lot of options where you could, just like close one classroom but not close the whole school. That's what the remote learning days. Would do that We're going to give 20 days remote learning. Uh And you know, when you take an NT a day, you've got to shut the whole district down. When you take a remote learning day. It might just be one school in the district are heck, it could be just two classrooms. NFL that shuts down so that went out the that went out the door with the mask mandate, So it was all in the same bill. So, uh, You know how I would look for that? Yeah, I'd look for that to be revisited, but I mean, we will see what happens here. So you have a bill that would affect schools. You want to see more security. In schools and more security in classrooms, right Yes. You know, we've passed two bills down here over the last two years. That said that every school campus in Kentucky must have an armed if sorrow safety resource officer Jack PS just refuses to comply. They don't have any S R O alarmed SA rose on any campus in Jefferson County. They've got 14 Security guard that that the board voted to D arm. And so you have 155 schools. I think that's what we have in in the In the district and And we don't have any sufficient. Uh Security. So tell me about your bill. So my bill will say that you must do. You must have that. It's the third time we're closing down the third loophole. Which is we put a clause in there last time that says you'll have an S R O. If Phones are available. Now. That was for the poor districts. Joe, That was for some, you know, Somewhere out in the counties, Jefferson County is the most wealthy district. It was not meant for them to use that as an excuse not to provide security, their schools, but we're going to eliminate that part and I've got overwhelming support. I think it will pass. And you know, we we've got to have security on these at the schools. It's just crazy. I do not understand where the Jefferson County Board of Education Is thinking I just cannot fathom while they're doing their I think you've got a lot of public support for this. Yeah, I'm getting teachers and parents that are sending me emails. A lot of the teachers don't even want their names revealed. You know, I guess because of retribution, but they're telling me Don't give up on that. We don't feel safe in school. I've even had counselors. You know, One of the one of the debates against my bill is that well, we should we should pay for more counselors instead of security. Well, I've had counselor Send me emails like you can't do proper counseling if you don't feel safe in your office or your school, so it's overwhelming support. And I hope that I hope this J C P s will do the right thing and get this gold. One more thing we heard about today. Rocky Adkins, who is a former Legislature works with the governor. Now he and some some Republican leaders are looking at this bill. Think we're talking about $350 million of the General fund. This is what could be forgivable loans for some, some or some companies that come to Kentucky. Um, I think we'd all like to know more about that. Can you tell us what's going on here? Well, The thing is the state surrounding us and all over the country really are just eating our lunch on a lot of economic incentives. I mean, states. Pay for big companies to come to their state. And we're getting We're getting eight up by other states, and so we're going to give 350 million to the economic development cabinet. For them to use these things. Do you use incentives? The the requirements is that if a company comes here, they must invest $2 billion. And, uh, you know if we give a 350 million To a another Ford or another Toyota or an Amazon. It'll be well worth it. You know, Kentucky is losing in this fight. Other states are doing this. And we just got to keep up. So that's why we're doing it. Which meant and where we got both parties involved in this and I don't think you'll see a single no vote because once you Once you get in and find out how other states are eating our lunch by bringing the The you know the big factories and the big companies into their state. We've got to do this and I think you'll see there probably won't be a One. No vote on this one. You know, I agree that that you're going to see I mean this. This is going to pass and I understand why it will pass. I guess my only problem with it is that it's it's sort of an arms race and other states will increase their They'll sweeten the pot and so Kentucky will have to sweeten the pot. It just goes on and on and on and on, And I mean it's a great deal for the big corporations Indirectly. I guess it's a good deal because you know there are jobs and that's what people are looking for. But I think the little guy looks at these kinds of things and says Man, the You know the corporations get well and the little the little guy does it? It's just It's just a vicious cycle, and I think it does concern a lot of people..

So be aware that could be an interesting commute this afternoon later this afternoon, and the pain where you are in the state of Wisconsin or or south or West could be an interesting drive. Wherever you're going to be careful out there. We're not joined on the phone by the majority leader in Wisconsin State Assembly. Representative staticky Good morning. Even been allowed. It has been a while. Have we talked in the New York If we have a happy new year? I don't think we have. Yeah. Happy New year to you, too. I'm gonna ask you about a bunch of stuff because I said this would be kind of a wide ranging interview, But I want to get to the There's a bit of a controversy yesterday, and I know you want to talk about this because you you were part of this. Up North News published a private email, they said between you and Speaker Robin Boss and it has to do with this task force and racial disparities. You called it, they said a political loser. Talk about what? That what That statement means. And what's your role as The leader of that committee how that'll play down. Sure so, and I appreciate the opportunity to talk about this moment because Way have to remember the email that I sent was before the task force was actually created before the membership was there before we even knew that Democrats were going to participate in that there. We have been some rumors that they were just going going to refuse to participate. S so in all of that. Was putting together a letter to to Robin basically doing the political analysis of what I saw going forward and, you know, making a pitch for myself to be the chair because I wasn't gonna use it some kind of opportunity to run for higher office E. I thought we needed somebody that could take the slings and arrows because inevitably, when you're dealing with tough issues like this On. You're trying to find consensus. People on all sides of the spectrum. At the end of it are going to feel like either they didn't get enough or they got too much taken away from them. So it it is one of those situations where it's kind of a no win. And something quite frankly, that representatives from his experience to when when she talked to me, Um, you know, she said, this is very difficult for her politically too, because a lot of Democrats We're urging her not to participate. So that's really what the just of the email laws that we needed somebody there that didn't care about the political ramifications and would just charge ahead and do as I said in the email, do the right thing in the grander scheme of things is this is an idea of a committee like that, looking at racial disparity in the state. Should that be a political loser or should be an opportunity to actually kind of get the sides together, something we haven't been able to do very well in the last few decades in the state. Yeah. I mean, absolutely the thing that I could see sense, especially since the creation of the task force and the membership that we put together for this effort. I have been greatly encouraged by the participation of people on the task force their willingness to come together to find common ground to find solutions to the issues that face communities of color throughout the state. My my enthusiasm for this has grown over time, even even more So because of the work. We're doing it because of the progress we're making. And I have a lot of hopes that in pretty short order, we're gonna come out with A federal recommendations that again not everybody gets everything that they want. Some people give up more than others, but hopefully we'll get to that point where everybody could claim success out of this. And last thing I did the lieutenant governor State of Wisconsin Mandela, Barnes says that it's a representation that you in fact you've being Republicans don't want to do everything. Just respond to that. Well, it's it's crazy because one of the things that I said in this email, too, is we have a chance to show the Evers administration how you can get things done, right? I mean, what they did was they put out Slater bills in summer. We don't know last summer, we don't know where those those came from. Republicans weren't consulted. We don't know who was consulted during that process. What I was saying. In this process. As we have the opportunity to show the administration that we can bring people together, we can sit down Republicans and Democrats and people from communities of color throughout the state. And come up with solutions that can have bipartisan support. We're talking a majority leader from the Assembly Jim Stanek e. He's been on the program. A lot of times. We've had this conversation before. It's one of my greatest frustrations that someone who talks about politics. As a former elected, We have the two sides Republicans Democrats. Obviously, the governor is a Democrat, obviously alleged Legislature strongly controlled by Republicans, and I've heard the back and forth on every issue. We'll start with one the ones that maybe in front of you today, and that's the power of the governor to issue the issue. These these orders. I know your stand on it. But do we get lost in that? Power struggle and get away from working on some other things. That may be more important. Okay? Believe me, I wish the governor had taken us up on our offers that we have made over the course of the last several months last year, Really? To negotiate it out What we can all agree to on this. He just hasn't been willing to do that. Our chairman of the Administrative Rules Committee in the Assembly has reached out to the governor multiple times and has never gotten any response from the governor so he is seemingly set on ruling by Fiat. When I think that there is some ground there that we can all agree to. I think one of the frustrating thing is is that it has painted Republicans somehow anti mask and really, what we are is rule of law Republicans. We want to see the governor follows a little law and after the initial 60 days of that emergency declaration last year His only opportunity to proceed is working with the Legislature. And that's what he's been refusing to do. Especially on this math mandate issue in your district because you can't possibly know what's happening..

"Ethan Manny that will require 5 45 100 signatures. Registered voters. That's 500 Progressive District for libertarians to get on the ballot, any sort of non major party that's on the ballot for governor and U S senator and join us on the line to talk about that is a good friend Tim McGuire, who's the chairman of libertarian part of Indiana. Tim. Thank you very much for being with us. Always appreciate talking to you, my friend. Good afternoon, Abdul. It's always a pleasure to talk to you, eh? So what do you What was your thoughts when you first heard about house Bill 11 34. Well, my first thoughts were. This was a unfairly targeting the Libertarian Party specifically, but any third party and, um, obviously, obviously my initial thoughts was well, this is our retribution or their retribution for doing so well in the last governor's race, That's interesting because I asked represented Manning about that, like, Hey, what's the whole point this legislation to just kind of get back in the materials for doing breath doing better than usual? And their candidate, gubernatorial candidate Donald Rainwater, coming in second place and a third of the counties and represent Manning said, No, this wasn't he'd been looking at the election code before. They just want to make it quote like fair and consistent across the board. Well, you know, that's interesting because hey says that, But then he the bill, he wrote, is not making a fair and equitable across the board because when it comes to getting onto the general election ballot, which is the only ballot that were on both parties have the same requirement. We certify who got the nomination and we submit that to the election division. What he's trying to change is our internal rules for who can get the nomination. The Republicans control how they do it, and that's fine. They can have whatever rules they want, but they want to change the rules for us on. Basically, they wanted to put it on par with getting into the primaries. There. There 4500 signature requirement is to get it. To get onto the primary. What representative Manning wants to do is give us the same requirement but not let us into the primaries at all. So he's actually making it more unfair than it was before. In addition, he's getting into our internal party politics of like how we do our own conventions. He's been putting no burden on the Republicans or Democrats for their convention candidates. Let me ask you to him. How easy difficult would it be for libertarians to get those four? 500 signatures 500 from the sister, of course, knowing that you have to get a lot more than that, because just the nature of how give granted garbage signature sends to work. Well, you know, it's funny. You ask because I didn't think that it would have been that hard. But apparently not even Todd Young can get that signature requirement. So apparently, it's harder than we all thought. Now. I see No regardless, though, um yeah. Can it can it be done? Absolutely. But is this a fair requirement to put on us when we already have Have so many rules written against us on We're already fighting it. Uphill battle. I mean, I think he's ah, flirting with equal equal rights. Um um Discrimination lawsuit. Our guests on the program is to McGuire Timothy, chairman of the Libertarian Party of Indiana, Talking about House Bill Every 34 that sponsored by Republican State lawmaker even Manning. That would basically could make it more difficult for libertarians to get on the ballot in the race for governor and U S senator right now, Libertarian just have a nominating convention, and that's how they get their candidates on the ballot in the General X because they don't have primaries. This would change that, to make them remember tends to get 4500 signatures. Statewide, and that's basically 500 from each district to get ballot access. Tim Right now, you folks only need 2% of the vote in the secretary of state's racing to maintain your ballot. Access I asked represent Manning about that said that wasn't changed. Just began the race for governor and U. S senator. Correct, correct. Yeah, so, but the problem becomes, is that he's putting the requirement, uh, on those races that did not exist before and he's not any essentially giving us nothing in return for that for that extra for that extra effort, And as I said before, we're already um, you know? At a disadvantage by being the outsider Third party We don't get Ah voice and how any of these rules are made on were you know in the rules are written differently for us when they are through the two parties. Now, I will say we have had some Good talks with representative nicely and he's gonna We're expecting him to introduce an amendment that that we actually will agree with. And if if the General Assembly's willing tol great his amendment or at his amendment to the bill, then we will accept the added burden in exchange for getting more of a voice on the, um On the election boards. What exactly is in that amendment, My friend could use to get to share that information or sure, so I haven't read it myself. So if you look excuse me on that, but essentially what it will give us. Ah, voice on the election boards on the state on the counties and in exchange for that will accept the traditional signature requirements. Because if we're gonna be basically these, adding this requirement to for our internal politics of how we elect our candidates, and we have to submit the kid Signatures to the to the election boards. We should at least have a representative on these election boards, Uh, toe, you know, not a controlling interest, but at least a voice on how this process works out Tim McGuire with us for a few more minutes on the program. Today, he is the chairman of the libertarian part of Indiana. Talk about a new requirement or proposed requirement to change essentially changing the state's election law. Other require Libertarian to get signatures to get on the ballot in the race for governor. And U S indisposed Right now they're nominating committee, Tim, But I can't talk about this earlier this week and one to get your thoughts on this. Why not Just use this as an opportunity? Because you're not talking about this before about libertarians and sort of their statewide organization like okay, fine. And these are the rules going to be forced to play by. We're going to get organized, going to get our get together. We're gonna have county coordinators, redistrict congressional coordinators the whole nine yards and come back with 45,000 signatures on the ballot. Well, I mean, that's a really great point Abdul and actually, That's something that we've already been working towards We, you know, we had great successes with Donald Rainwater. Last year on we've been building upon the momentum. In fact, we are in the process of affiliating 22 new counties this year Because of all the renewed interest, we're more than doubling or I think we're just about doubling our active counties This year. We're continuing to grow. And no, I mean are these are these, um Requirements. Impossible. Absolutely not on and that's why that's why we're willing to work with. Um we were hoping to work with representative Manning. But we're at this point working with representative nicely to say. All right. If this is the requirement, you know, it's fine. We'll accept it. But we we have to get something for our troubles because again They're so money As you know, Abdul. There's so many of the laws that were written against us. Make it harder for third parties, Toe have a voice. Um, just add one more thing onto that pile is is a little unfair. Unless you're going to give us something for it, My friend where you see just one final question. Where'd you see this? Legislation going? What do you folks are prepared to do to fight it? Well, honestly, if the if the amendment doesn't doesn't get added, the nicely amendment doesn't get passed, and then we are firmly against this proposal. We're asking all the representatives voted down and and if it does get passed, I mean, we will be prepared Teofilo this a civil rights violation there, basically trying to stifle the third of the voice of the third parties..
