A highlight from #brunchtalk: Is lack of experience a turn off?
"Hi, I'm Yui Xu and I'm Julie Kraftchick. We're active daters turned dating sociologists here to dive into everything modern dating and relationships. Welcome to the datable podcast. Hello, datables. Is it time for brunchies? I'm going to use the word. Damn right it is. But only if you use the word brunch. That sounds so basic. Hey, you want to go to brunchies? Oh my God. Please don't start that. Brunchy talk. Well, we are back for another episode of Brunch Talk where we answer your burning dating questions, that is the goal of these episodes. They are weekly. They are on Sundays. They are shorter than our midweek podcasts episodes, but we answer your burning questions and we get them done. Question for this Brunch Talk is, is the lack of experience a turnoff when it comes to dating? Yes. And we want to thank this listener, Rahim, who submitted a wonderful review. In addition, five stars with the question that said for more context, I'm a 26 year old male who has limited dating and relationship history. I feel like relationship history and experience is very much relative. You could be 26 and have been in two relationships, but maybe two relationships where you learn nothing from them or you were only in one relationship where you learn a lot from it. I think the bigger picture question is what have you learned from dating that you can apply to relationships? Not so much the experience of relationships. So 26, you're a baby still. It's okay. I don't know why as a culture, we have this thing because we do hear this a lot of people being like, Oh, they don't have any past experience or I'm their first relationship, or they haven't had a lot of partners. There's something wrong with them. That's the feeling. I don't agree with that at all, but for whatever reason, we think that the quantity of our past partners are saying like how desirable we are. I would reframe it of what have you been doing for the last 26 years? Probably some of them, you were just being born and coming to your own. So like even what have you been doing for the last six years? It doesn't even have to be 26 years and just tell your story. It's okay if relationships haven't been a priority for you until now. I don't think 26, even if you're 36, 46, 56, whatever it is, there's never an age. Like we go through different stages of life. It's just, how do you share with someone of where you've been, where you want to go and why right now you're interested in dating and meeting new people? It's all about the narrative that you tell yourself and to other people. If you go into dates and you start with, I haven't had that much relationship experience, yeah, someone's going to corner you into that and think, Oh, okay. Maybe this person doesn't have much to offer. But if you go into dates saying, Oh, I haven't had that many long -term relationships, but I've learned a lot about relational skills, people, skills, learning about myself. I've been in therapy. I've done all the self work that shows experience in itself. And I think that's more valuable than the actual relationships. I've listened to this great podcast, dateable. It's really helped me out.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1273. Ethereum Built on Bitcoin | Spiderchain Layer-2 INTERVIEW w/Botanix Labs
"All right, so today we're going to dive into Bitcoin, but not in the normal and usual way. Actually, we're going to break into possibly an alternative for Bitcoin through an Ethereum EVM. We'll talk all about that today. You guys are going to love it. My name is Paul Veron. Welcome back into Tech Path. Joining me today is Willem Schrow, who's coming over from Botanics Labs. So, great to have you. Great to meet you all. Great to meet you, Paul. Hey, Willem. All right. So first, let's get into just in general what you guys are trying to do with Botanics. Give me kind of a breakdown. Yeah. So Botanics is actually a layer two on Bitcoin, but it is fully EVM equivalent. What that means is any of the applications that you see on Ethereum today are now possible on Botanics and are possible on Bitcoin. So with any of the applications, suddenly you will see Bitcoin instead of Ethereum. And so we bring the whole world of the EVM to Bitcoin and we bring the whole world and the capital of Bitcoin to the EVM. So why bring EVM to Bitcoin? What's the core behind it? What are you guys trying to solve in terms of just the overall technical aspect? Yeah, very good question. Well, it went back like a year where we tried to figure out where is this whole crypto infrastructure going to go to 10 years from now. And very interesting, we saw like a paradox play out. On the one hand, you have Bitcoin, which is the biggest market cap and still considered by many the one and real decentralized reserve currency. And on the other hand, you have Ethereum and the EVM with so many applications built on top of it. And how do you fit these two together? And basically what we saw play out is, OK, Bitcoin, almost no applications on top of it. And the EVM, which is what powers Ethereum, is actually where all the applications are built upon. And you can actually take the EVM part and put that on top of Bitcoin. And suddenly you can use all the Bitcoin that you have and you can use it in the applications that you find on Ethereum. OK, all right. Is it a scenario where Bitcoin benefits more or does Ethereum benefit more in this particular scenario? In this scenario, because we are fully on Bitcoin, so the whole protocol will run on Bitcoin, you will use Bitcoin to buy NFTs, you will use Bitcoin to be in DeFi indexes. Bitcoin is here, the big winner, and our applications that we want to bring are really to the Bitcoiners. All right. So I was looking at your website and on the how does Botanics work, and it gets into the spider chain. You know, I'm kind of highlighting that on screen right now. But the question I have for you is the difference between the spider chain and what Layer 2 Labs is doing with their BIP sidechain, because we've had Paul on before talking about, you know, what Layer 2 Labs does and what sidechains do and how they would kind of change the dynamic. What is the difference between what you guys are doing and them? Yeah, so the end goal is actually very similar to bring the EVM or other sidechains to Bitcoin. However, the approach and the technology is very different. Drive chains need a Bitcoin soft fork, so they need an upgrade to the Bitcoin protocol while we do not require any soft fork. So the spider chain is actually possible on Bitcoin today, which is a big difference. So in reality, this is actually a proof of stake. And so the random subset of participants are all stakers. So anyone in the world will be able to run the full protocol. Anyone will be able to stake and then the decentralized multistake will basically choose random participants out of that staker set. And so right now we are fully building it. I actually saw the testnet run this week. We will go public with that very soon and then we will start building towards the main net. Now, one of the things that happens when you run proof of stake on top of Bitcoin, it also means that in the very initial phases, when you have very little Bitcoin staked, you are very vulnerable to an attack, basically someone coming in with 5000 Bitcoin, taking over majority control of the stake and attacking the platform. And that's why we will start off federated in a more centralized way. We will be like liquid basically on Bitcoin, have some federated partners that we work together with until there's sufficient activity in win and we can make the full protocol permissions. All right. I think that's a good step, you know, because you're right with these kinds of things and this kind of scenario that would make it a little bit of a thing at risk. All right. So when you look at both Bitcoin, what we've seen in terms of the core, the core devs on Bitcoin, very reluctant to change over the years. And then you look at the evolution of what's happened within the Ethereum ecosystem and it's the exact opposite. They're just a constant, you know, throw of new devs. There's a constant new innovation happening, a test of all sorts. I mean, when you look at Bitcoin and Ethereum, is Bitcoin ever going to catch up in terms of dev activity and real movement to become something of a true currency or at least the use case of currency? Because I think that's obviously for Ethereum what ETH seems to be trying to achieve. Bitcoin ever going to catch up here? What do you thought? Yeah, I think Bitcoin itself as the Bitcoin protocol, I don't think so. It's most important for Bitcoin that it's decentralized and secure. And so that also means not a lot of upgrades. I think for all the layer twos and a lot of applications that are built on top of Bitcoin, absolutely. I think we are going to see a very big explosion of applications and layer twos in the coming years. And maybe to go further on to that point, I actually believe a big portion of the differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum is because of their foundational beliefs, which leads to a culture difference. Like the Bitcoiners, they align more with decentralization is the first principle that matters the most. The Ethereum proponents align more as a first principle. It needs to be composable. It needs to be a virtual machine. And then you have, for example, people who like Solana more, they say speed is the other most important. Same for Monero and privacy. Now, out of all of these properties, I would say Bitcoin as being the layer one for reserve currency is the most important. But all the other properties who are also very valid and have reached product market fit, you can bring them on top of Bitcoin as a layer two. And that's what I think will happen. Yeah. So in terms of the user experience on on spider chains like this, is this going to be different from other layer twos that would play into this? Yeah. So in terms of user experience, we have optimized for that and we think it's going to be extremely easy to go on to Botanics. For people who have used Arbitrum, Botanics is going to feel like you're bridging from Ethereum to Arbitrum, exactly the same. We will provide you with a certain Bitcoin address you send from any wallet, any exchange, any cold wallet, Bitcoin to that address. And boom, you have Bitcoin in your metamask. I like it. Which is that is so bizarre to see how this is going. As far as timeline, when you look at the current progress you guys have made so far, what the roadmap looks like. I'll get to the roadmap in a second. I'm just kind of curious, just from a framework of timing here, you've got a halving coming up. There's going to be a lot of acceleration around Bitcoin and its use, along with a lot of people getting into it, just recognizing Bitcoin for the first time. How long before this could potentially be a real solution? Yeah, it's very interesting. Development, as long as you're not online and the blockchain is not fully running, can go really fast. So our iteration steps, our testing process are going very fast to the moment we will go out with a testnet this month in October. And then after that, we actually are very happy with the timing that the Bitcoin halving is coming very soon because we actually aim for the mainnet by the Bitcoin halving. So mainnet basically means you will be able to use it. You will start having all your favorite EVM applications, but using Bitcoin with it. So explain to me, Willem, how Spiderchain would be different than, say, something like Stacks, you know, building obviously with ordinals playing into this. How is it and what are the core attributes that would make it different? Yeah, two big differences there. So Stacks runs on the Stacks token, Botanics runs on Bitcoin. And a second big difference is we are fully EVM equivalent. What means that any application that is built on Ethereum is able to be deployed, plug and play, copy paste on top of Botanics. OK, so we have a lot of Bitcoiners on our show, people who just think it's kind of the only way. And then we have a lot of people where I would say we're a neutral network. You know, we look at people that are really into Web3 and the development of what's going on with Bitcoin, along with other projects that are in the layer one camps, especially if you think about even Cardano and Avalanche. But you look at Bitcoiners and they're very, very centralized into the, I should say, the culture, not decentralized, obviously, as a platform, but the culture itself kind of has one vision. Have you had a lot of pushback from Bitcoiners in general? Yeah, more than I expected, actually, and the biggest pushback is actually on the EVM part, even though our whole protocols run on runs on Bitcoin. So I expect that a lot of Bitcoiners to actually fully love this. A lot of the pushback has been on the EVM, which is the Ethereum virtual machine. And it is actually because of the connotation and the bias that they have with Ethereum. But you actually argue that the EVM is a hugely powerful virtual machine and actually think the EVM has won out what we call the virtual machine battle. We think a lot of the applications that we're seeing have been built on virtual machines and the EVM is the biggest virtual machine out there. Yeah. Is there, in terms of support, where is that coming from for this project? Yeah, very interesting. It's everyone who aligns with our vision that says, like, OK, we see Bitcoin is the currency, but it's very good at being digital gold and being very decentralized and secure. But then on the other hand, they also love the EVM. They also love playing around in DeFi, on DEXs, by NFTs. And so it's basically someone who is active in the application ecosystem, but still holds Bitcoin in there called Wal -Mart. And so these two visions, they're not mutually exclusive. You can build the EVM on top of Bitcoin. And those are the people who we've seen the most support from.

A highlight from CONGRESS DEMANDS BITCOIN ETF APPROVAL - GENSLER GETS REKT | SB Originals
"You refuse to be transparent with Congress regarding your interactions with FTX and Sam Bankman -Fried. That's the investigation we started last Congress. Finally, your lack of responsiveness to this committee's legitimate oversight continues to be unacceptable. And I want to finish here. In February, the committee made multiple requests for documents to the Securities Exchange Commission. This is normal congressional oversight. Yet seven months later, the committee has not received a single non -public document that was not part of a FOIA production. As I said, our patience is wearing thin. The SEC is not above the law, nor is it unique. Other financial regulators have routinely complied with congressional oversight. So let me be clear. I do not want to be the first chairman of this committee to issue a subpoena to the Securities Exchange Commission. And you should not want to be the first SEC chair to receive a congressional subpoena. Either we find a path forward where the SEC recognizes Congress is a co -equal branch of government and is responsive to our oversight duties, or my option is to issue a subpoena. It's time for you to consider the lasting consequences of your actions and what that means to the Securities Exchange Commission's reputation long term. While your time in this role may be temporary, the repercussions for your actions may be permanent for the agency. I yield back. What's up and welcome back. You know, they say when you're on the hot seat, the burns can last a lifetime. And the other night the hot seat was in Congress and Gary Gensler was feeling the heat. We got a lot to cover. Let's get it. All right, let's get it started here. This was just in full letter to the SEC, and this was on September 26th and addressed to Chairman Gensler. It included Representatives Mike Flood, Tom Emmer, Richie Torres, and Wylie Nickel, and they claimed the SEC continuously is discriminated against spot Bitcoin ETFs. And then we have this from Representative Warren Davidson, Gary Gensler must be held accountable. And then if you guys look at the tweet here throughout his tenure, Gary Gensler has blatantly ignored Congress, be it when considering rulemakings or responding to lawmakers oversight requests. Republicans continue to bring long overdue accountability to Gensler's SEC. Republicans are holding SEC Chair Gensler accountable. They even went so far as to say, all right, let's bring in subpoenas or maybe we should just fire this guy. He went further. Gensler's failures are many. That's why I introduced the SEC Stabilization Act to fire Gary Gensler. He'll see you in the hearing. And we've got so much of the hearing to get to. It was honestly out of line in some regards, hilarious. But let's get to it. And we're going to go ahead and get it started here with the GOP majority whip, Tom Emmer totally crushes Gary Gensler. Here's one quote. It cannot be understated. A common theme throughout your career, sir, is your relentless loyalty to the largest financial institutions at the clear expense of innovation, competition and everyday Americans. Let's roll the clip. Chair Gensler, I have a series of questions that require a yes or no answer. And in the interest of my limited time, I'd appreciate it if you would comply with it. Mr. Gensler, is it fair to say generally that large institutions in any given industry benefit more from regulatory uncertainty than everyday market participants or smaller institutions who don't have the scale or the capital to fund expensive compliance teams? Large institutions could benefit from uncertainty. Reclaiming my time. The answer is yes, sir. Mr. Gensler, you had an 18 year career at Goldman Sachs where you were partner and co -head of finance, correct? Yes, sir. Thank you. And is it correct to say that you made most of your personal wealth directly through your employment at this bank, Goldman Sachs? I've done well since then, too, sir.
The Breakdown
A highlight from Where Crypto Has Product-Market Fit (And Where It Doesn't)
"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 Sunday, October 1st, and that means it's time for Long Read Sunday. 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, welcome to one of the best months of the year, October. You love to see it. Around here in these crypto parts, we call this October, and I don't know if the price is going to follow that, but I certainly know that the vibes will. Now, it is Long Read Sunday, and this show represents for me not only a chance to bring in the opinions of other people, but also a chance to think a little bit more broadly, a little bit less focused on the news of the day or the week. And so with that in mind, we turn to a piece from Li Jin, one of the co -founders of Variant, that makes an argument about one of the big challenges that faces the industry as it attempts to go more mainstream. I think it's an interesting argument, and so I'm going to read the piece and then we'll talk about it a little bit further. The essay is called, The Barrier to Mainstream Crypto Adoption Isn't UX, It's Product -Market Fit. Li writes, Discussions about accelerating adoption of crypto often focus on improving user experience. The popular thinking goes, Web3 products lag behind from a user experience perspective, onboarding poses multiple points of friction, and technological concepts come with learning curves. Web3 is missing a seamless experience for apps that will unlock greater adoption. While improving crypto UX is certainly important, I believe that the more significant and urgent barrier to adoption is building things that people want. Web3 has a product market fit problem, not a UX problem. Product market fit is when a product satisfies a strong market need. For consumer builders, the elegance and challenge in building for consumers is that humans have remarkably consistent needs across time. That's why Maslow's hierarchy of needs continues to resonate nearly a century after its introduction, with universal needs ranging from the physiological food, shelter, and clothing, to the psychological — belonging, love, entertainment, and esteem. The history of consumer startups is one of continual innovation in solving for human needs in novel ways. Though people often dismiss new consumer apps as incremental innovations in flipping categories — i .e. teens making dance videos — the truth is that successful startups offer a step -function improvement in enabling people to achieve a core need. Amazon sold us books and everything else in just a few clicks, dramatically easing the process for procuring goods. Facebook enabled us to connect with those we care about instantly. Tinder exposed us to an order of magnitude more potential romantic partners than anyone could stumble on in real life. There is a lot of evidence that when the user benefit is great enough, users are willing to jump through UX hurdles and learn new behaviors, in crypto and beyond. Examples include the first iPhone, which lacked a touch keyboard, the internet itself, and all crypto assets and applications that have had significant adoption to date — NFTs during the last bull market being a primary example. For products that solve a core need, unfamiliar and complicated UX hasn't been a blocker. Despite the long list of multifaceted user needs, so far, explorations of the opportunities that crypto can uniquely address have been largely limited to the financial realm. While income is a widespread need, products where income derives from speculation work when the market goes up but lose their appeal as prices fall. It's a tough sell, especially when there are alternatives for users to attain income with less risk and uncertainty. There is an opportunity for crypto builders to build products that better address other human needs, such as belonging, community, and entertainment. What could that look like? On a small scale, NFT communities and decentralized autonomous organizations have satisfied some people's need for belonging, forging novel social graphs on the basis of asset ownership. To those who say that shared financial interests can't be the basis for real relationships, consider that many of our real -world connections are predicated on ownership, whether that's There's an opportunity to leverage on -chain assets as the basis for new communities that solve for belonging, esteem, and connection. In August 2023 alone, 94 .5 million NFTs were minted across Ethereum and its Layer 2 scalability protocols. As the volume of user activity grows, imagine inferring users' interests based on on -chain actions and exposing connections based on a rich activity history. On -chain media expands our entertainment options, giving us skin in the game for what we consume and create online. On platforms like sound .xyz, friend .tech, and Zora, users can bet on media and creators they believe in, enhancing their experience of the content and turning these networks into financialized games. In a world where all media is incepted as NFTs, there will be a new economic dimension that can enrich our experience of the internet. These are just starting points for what it could look like for crypto to find product -market fit and address needs beyond just income. There's room for much more experimentation from here. To achieve widespread adoption and evolve beyond their current niche, crypto products need to enhance the human experience through solutions that wouldn't be possible without crypto.

St.-Therese-I-Will-Be-Love-LOH-23 - burst 1
"I knew that one love drove the members of the church to action, that if this love were extinguished, the apostles would have proclaimed the gospel no longer, the martyrs would have shed their blood no more. I saw and realized that love sets off the bounds of all vocations, that love is everything, and that the same love embraces every time and every place. In one word, that love is everlasting. Then, nearly ecstatic with the supreme joy in my soul, I proclaimed, Oh Jesus, my love, at last I have found my calling, my call is love. Certainly, I have found my place in the church, and you gave me that very place, my God. In the heart of the church, my mother, I will be love, and thus I will be all things, as my desire finds its direction.

St.-Therese-I-Will-Be-Love-LOH-23
"From the Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Rite, from the Office of Readings, from the Autobiography of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. Since my longing for martyrdom was powerful and unsettling, I turned to the epistles of St. Paul in the hope of finally finding an answer. By chance the 12th and 13th chapters of the first epistle to the Corinthians caught my attention, and in the first section I read that not everyone can be an apostle, prophet or teacher, that the church is composed of a variety of members, and that the eye cannot be the hand. Even with such an answer revealed before me, I was not satisfied and did not find peace. I persevered in the reading and did not let my mind wander until I found this encouraging theme. Set your desires on the greater gifts, and I will show you the way which surpasses all others. For the apostle insists that the greater gifts are nothing at all without love, and that this same love is surely the best path leading directly to God. At length I had found peace of mind. When I had looked upon the mystical body of the church, I recognized myself in none of the members which St. Paul described, and what is more, I desired to distinguish myself more favorably within the whole body. Love appeared to me to be the hinge for my vocation. Indeed, I knew that the church had a body composed of various members, but in this body the necessary and more noble member was not lacking. I knew that the church had a heart and that such a heart appeared to be a flame with love. I knew that one love drove the members of the church to action, that if this love were extinguished, the apostles would have proclaimed the gospel no longer, the martyrs would have shed their blood no more. I saw and realized that love sets off the bounds of all vocations, that love is everything, and that the same love embraces every time and every place. In one word, that love is everlasting. Then, nearly ecstatic with the supreme joy in my soul, I proclaimed, Oh Jesus, my love, at last I have found my calling, my call is love. Certainly, I have found my place in the church, and you gave me that very place, my God. In the heart of the church, my mother, I will be love, and thus I will be all things, as my desire finds its direction. Oh God, who open your kingdom to those who are humble and to little ones, lead us to follow trustingly in the way of Saint Therese, so that through her intercession, we may see your eternal glory revealed through our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

"Prosecutors will call investors & employees in FTX trial." Oct 01, 2023
"It's 8am Eastern, October the 1st, and this is your daily crypto report. Bitcoin is down slightly at $27 ,176, ETH is up slightly at $1 ,685, and Binance Coin is up slightly at $215. While federal prosecutors are planning to call former FTX customers, investors, and employees as witnesses in the trial next week of Sam Bankman -Fried, these witnesses will provide insights into their expectations regarding how FTX would handle their funds and share their interactions with the defendant, shedding light on the purpose of certain statements and actions. The testimony is considered relevant to the trial's key issues, helping to understand how reasonable individuals would interpret the defendant's representations regarding FTX's treatment of customer assets and related matters. While Vitalik Buterin shared his thoughts on potential changes to Ethereum staking mechanisms in a blog post, discussing various protocols, including account abstraction protocols, EVMs, private mempools, code precompiles, and liquid staking, considering whether they should be integrated into Ethereum's core code or remain on top as separate layers, Buterin emphasized the need to carefully weigh the trade -offs associated with each protocol as they'll evolve over time. Buterin also expressed concerns about the concentration of Ethereum's liquid staking providers, particularly Lido, which controls over 32 % of staked ETH. To address this, he suggested potential protocol changes to further decentralized liquid staking, such as adjusting RocketPole's approach or giving more governance power to a randomly selected committee of small stakers. Those changes aim to reduce centralization in Ethereum's staking ecosystem. While crypto trading platform Mosaic Exchange Limited and its owner have been charged by the CFTC for running a fraudulent digital asset commodity scheme, the scheme involved deceiving investors by falsely claiming that Mosaic had substantial assets under management and offered a highly profitable trading algorithm. In reality, though, these claims were fabricated in the scheme and misappropriated funds from at least 17 individuals in the U .S. and other countries. Some of these misappropriated funds were used for the platform owner's personal expenses. The fraudulent activities took place from February 2019 to June 2021, when Mosaic and its founder Shawn Michael falsely represented their platform's capabilities and partnerships, including claims of ties to BitMEX and Binance, which were untrue. The CFTC called the scheme a virtual house of cards. And finally, crypto venture capital firm Paradigm has accused the U .S. Securities and Exchange Commission of attempting to change the law through its case against Binance. In a statement, Paradigm argued that the SEC is using allegations in its complaint to modify regulations without following the proper rulemaking process. The SEC filed a lawsuit against Binance in June alleging multiple securities laws violations. Paradigm contended that the SEC's stance would disrupt established securities law principles and noted that various assets such as gold, silver, and fine art are promoted and sold for profit without being classified as securities.

It's a place I used to go to in Ohio called Grinders Above and Beyond. And they had a meatball grinder, meatball sub if you will. And it got me thinking about the difference between a sub, and a grinder, and a hoagie. I remember encountering grinders for the first time probably in the 1970s, I'd never heard of a grinder before. And when we moved to Virginia, some store sold grinders. And of course, Subway comes along and they're selling sub sandwiches. So I guess for the most part, those long sandwiches, 6 -inch, 12 -inch, whatever they are, are not pretty much known as subs or submarine sandwiches. I've often wondered why grinders didn't make the cut, or why hoagies didn't make the cut. Or even then, I remember a place selling torpedoes as their take on a sub sandwich. Today, every place sells subs. No grinders. Grinders Above and Beyond still exists in Ohio, but well, the meatball grinder doesn't. They got rid of that shortly before we moved away. One of my favorite sandwiches of all time, and I can only dream about it now.

A highlight from Reaching Out / Great Ideas for Evangelism
"We talked about survival last night. You know there's a saying I've always thought, don't wait until you're thirsty to dig a well. A lot of times we wait until the 15th round before we've been knocked down, before we go for help. Isn't that true? Sometimes we have to hit that bottom bottom, I guess. Just don't take things for granted. Good lives, lives that are together are not my accident. They're my right choices. The world just says you're lucky, but we know it's not luck. We know it's not luck. You don't order godly kids in the catalog. I'm a godly kid, respectful. You don't order me, you have to build lives. And I tell you what, we live in a day that, I tell you what, it's kind of sad. God doesn't give you wisdom. To see things how he sees them, and actually to see through things. To see through the deception of Satan. Look, two things I begged for in my life. I begged to be a solider, and I begged to raise my kids. He used to beg God for wisdom, because I knew his past was going to be greater than me. He used to say, if you want to mess up your life, that's your choice, but you're not messing your kids' lives up. And I don't know, I guess God, I just begged God for wisdom, and then James, he says he'll give it to you liberally if you ask. And I do believe he has. I got a lady in my church, my secretary, I'm going to be the secretary. She said, I think there is certainly something about raising kids. And if I really even know what I said, I just need to ask her. I think she wrote down everything I've ever said. And it's nice to have people listen. You know, it's ironic, people in my church now are more like me than my own kids. That's just the way it is. They're more like their pastor. They've been influenced by their pastor. My people have been influenced by me. They've been sitting under my preaching group, some of them, for 29 years. So, you know, they actually thank and remind me of how my kids would be. I see my kids, and they've kind of sometimes drifted away from different ways. And it kind of hurts me, but they become like their pastor. And, you know, so we just need to try to encourage each other, you know, hold together. You know, we're one body of many members. Amen. I think I heard one time that a car has about 30 ,000 parts. You know, it takes all of them to put together. It only takes one of them to miss malfunctions before you're in trouble. Isn't that the truth? You know, when one malfunction, you know, you have maybe eight cylinders on your car. You know, when one of them malfunctions, you lose a lot more than one -eighth of your power. Anyone in those cars knows if one plug or one wire is misfiring, it's like you lose 70 % of your power. And, you know, we got to make sure we don't malfunction on starry again. Mm -hmm. Joe, Steve will bring her own water tonight, because I'm not falling for that one yet. You know, we just need to work together as a body. You know, hey, I always tell my people, the devil only needs one heart to work out of. Don't let your heart be that one he works out of. It's a dangerous place to be, too. And, well, I think we have enough work out here. We have enough people that I think God's work, besides having Christians, amen, but Ezekiel, if you're Ezekiel 33 now, verse, I just thought we'd start at verse 31. It says, and they came unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear my words, but they will not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after covetousness, passions, desires, things like that. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument, for they hear thy words, but they do them not. They were too powerful at first, aren't they? Man, I just read that. They point that verse, so many people are, they sit in church, and, you know, they may say, oh, it's a good message, whatever, but they just don't do them. God says, happier little do these things, amen, you know? And just knowing them and not doing them actually just makes you miserable, probably, right? Some people just have enough religion to bug them instead of bless them. Isn't that the truth? Yeah, just enough to just make them miserable without making them joyful. One guy I've told, and I've heard this all the time, but he's going to tell me in church, he says, the pastor's job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, you know? So I'm here to try to disturb you where you're comfortable and comfort you where you're hurting. Amen? And so we come here tonight and turn with me now to Mark, Matthew, Mark, I think, with the gospel, where Christ is portrayed as his servant. You know, the four gospels in Matthew, God is portrayed as a king, as a king, and Mark as a servant, and Mark and Luke as a son of man, and John, the son of God. And we find here one of my passages I love, and I don't know, anyone have favorite, I love, I have so many favorite passages, I guess, but I like this one because it's about four men, I guess, a four, but I guess I can't even say for sure, I'm sure there were probably men that took a man of palsy that was paralyzed through the Peter's house roof to get him to Jesus to be healed. It says there in chapter two, no, actually this just follows where I talked about it the other day about the leper that was healed, and Jesus said in verse 44, right before that in chapter one, see thou say nothing to any man that would go thy way and show thyself to the priests and offer for like cleanliness these things which Moses commanded for a testimony to them. But he went out and began to publicize it much, to blaze abroad the matter, and so much that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city. I mean, God, Jesus at the end is so well known now, it's hard for him to even, you know, move and around stuff, and set him up in the desert places, and they came to him from every quarter. So we come here now, it says here, and again, he entered into Capernaum, you know, that's kind of where he kind of made his home, where Peter was after some days, and it was noise that he was in the house. And straightway, many were gathered together in so much that there was no room for them, no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door. And he preached the word unto them, and they came unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was born of four, and when they could not come nigh unto him from the press, in other words, the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and when they had broken a nub, they let down a bad brim the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he sent unto the sick of the palsy, saying, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. And there were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, you know, isn't that amazing? Here in this crowd, there are some hearts that were very, very ungodly. Here they are just looking for a reason to cause trouble, looking for a reason, observing just with a critical spirit, you know, and sadly, they can be in a church, someone comes just to be a critic, but there were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, why does this man thus speak blaspheming? Who can forgive sins but God only? See, they knew exactly what Jesus was saying he was. Jesus said, I am God, you know, and that made them angry because they didn't want to receive it except that, and immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye of these sayings in your hearts? Whether it is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and take up thy bed and walk. But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins. He said to the sick of palsy, I say unto thee, Arise and take up thy bed and go thy way unto thy house, and immediately he arose, took up his bed, and went forth before them all, insomuch that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this faction. Isn't that amazing? You know, I love that. You know how exciting when God's moving in the hearts of people. When you have a revival, you know, it's not about one person. It's about what God is doing in the hearts of people. And your testimony has brought tears to my eyes. You know, man, isn't that great? Somebody cared enough to go out and make that extra effort, and here he is in church today, almost waiting ahead on the sight of somebody who cared for his soul. You know, I had one psalmist who said, There's no way I cared for my soul. You know, tonight, that's why we're here. We're one beggar telling another beggar before we found bread telling people. I thank God I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. And I tell you, I didn't have to make us go to church. We loved church. We loved revival meetings. Loved evangelists. You know, that was just kind of the highlight of the year, really. It was like the Super Bowl, you know? And I just thank God. We were poor. It was just like church mice. There were six kids we were poor so we could get out. But I tell you what, I remember I was a little boy. I had my own little horn, you know? I won't tell you. Because there was an evangelist. He blew up. He had a horn. And I would not get out in the middle. I wanted to be like him. I tell you what, that's the kind of heros you ought to be wanting your kids to have. My friend today, if you don't get them in church, if you don't build up the man of God, if you don't build up authority in your life, it will come back to bite you like you've never seen. Go ahead and teach your children disrespect to pastors, to the president, to police.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | Vote if You Want, but Remember Cypherpunks Write Code
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group. Cypherpunks write code. We will be using Wondercraft AI Voice for this episode. Vivek Ramaswamy is the latest presidential hopeful with an appeal for the crypto class. Speaking at Mainnet, the New York City -based crypto conference put on by Massari, the breakout Republican candidate said he will soon announce a comprehensive crypto policy framework meant to address current gaps in regulation. And so he may. The mandate is reportedly about three quarters complete. And if the plans are as serious and thoughtful as promised, may Ramaswamy's policies serve as a guiding light for those already in or seeking power. There's a reason he's known as the right's answer to Senator Liz Warren. It has nothing to do with his Indian heritage. And a little wonkism might benefit blockchain's chances on the hill. On a practical level, thinking about crypto politically is almost certainly a waste of time. And more importantly, once you start basing decisions around what the government will allow in reference to crypto, the game is lost. I'm saying this at a time when the sitting US president has more or less declared war on crypto, and when the nation's top regulators are circling the pack routinely picking off choice targets one by one. I know there are legal threats to crypto's existence in the US and real implications of regulatory indecision. Developers shouldn't fear prison simply for publishing code. But engaging in the political process as a means of ensuring crypto's future is to miss the point of crypto so hard it's almost embarrassing to have to write this column. Crypto doesn't need political support. It just needs to be built in a way that rises above politics. This isn't even an ideological argument. It's the practical reality of blockchain as we know it. Projects that rely on staying in the good graces of regulators, executives, and judges should be assumed dead in the same way a vulnerability in code should be exploited. There's a reason why Bitcoin has stayed around, yet projects like LBRY have been wiped off the map. If a project has a vulnerability, it will be exploited. And all crypto projects are exposed to the vagaries of the law. The Biden administration has undoubtedly been tough on crypto, but there is no reason some future president won't be worse. Gary Gensler was expected to be pro -crypto, and look at how that turned out. If blockchains are truly meant to sustain themselves for centuries, why expose them at all to four -year election cycles? I'm not going to say that the work of elected politicians like Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand, who are advancing some of the most pro -crypto legislation to date, isn't appreciated, or that Representative Tom Emmer isn't a true believer in crypto. Lobbyists at the Blockchain Association have argued the short -term success of crypto will be determined by getting pro -crypto butts in seats. However, there is no telling whether pro -crypto politicians or regulations won't do even more damage than crypto's critics and antagonists, like the negative impact that mega -donor Sam Bankman -Fried's preferred set of rules would have had by protecting his likely fraudulent exchange, FTX.

I'm your host, Chris McGregor. What's on my mind is such a, such a humble and beautiful saint, the little flower of Jesus, St. Teresa. The story of the little flower is so powerful in itself. It's so contra what our modern day sees as successful. First, like she goes to a Carmelite convent and, you know, people of our day say, well, she buried her talents, she buried her life, and even the idea of prayer being contributory to the world and its happiness. The little flower spent eight years in a Carmelite convent, a very short life. She died at 24. Even when she was in the convent, the sisters hardly knew anything about her life of holiness. She had kept a journal, her autobiography. She was asked and in fact ordered to write it by her superior. The wisdom of that book, I know, and I was in the seminary in the 40s and the 50s. Her story of a soul is one of the most popular spiritual books and it's so simple. She is the saint of the ordinary. She transforms every act of her life into an act of love and also a desire to unite her prayer with the sacrifice of her love. She became a victim of love for souls. Her whole desire during those eight years was to save souls for God through prayer, through sacrifice, through love. The hiddenness of her life, in fact, when she died, her sisters, who didn't know the depth of her love and her sanctity, said, what are we going to say about her? She has done nothing extraordinary, nothing that would catch the attention of anyone. She takes something like the rattling of the beads, which drove her crazy. She was so highly sensitive and some nun would rub the beads up against the bench in back of her and it would cause her like chalk on a blackboard and that's what would do with her system. She used that as an act of sacrificial love and transformed it and took it as an occasion and an opportunity to offer a sacrifice to God. The crankiest and the most rejecting of all the sisters, she would see them and embrace their rejections. I was just recently with a priest. His face would crack if he would smile. He was so unhappy. It's amazing and just to be around him, it was like pus oozed from his system of unhappiness. He wanted to know everybody to know just how unhappy he was and he would want to make everybody as unhappy as he was. And even to stand next to him, you know, what an opportunity that would be that St. Therese would say, why don't you just give him love and offer him the love so that he could have an opportunity to love. You know, just being around a person who's angry, upset all the time. So all of us have these opportunities in our day and the scripture in the mass that Jesus taught us, the church is teaching us on her feast, the disciples came to Jesus with the question, who is the greatest, most important in the kingdom of God? He called over a little child and stood him in their midst and said, I assure you, unless you change and become like a little child, you will not enter the lowly. Becoming like this child is the greatest and most important in the kingdom of God and the heavenly reign, the simplicity and the humility of a child. Now I believe in order for us to see a child who just simply looks at you with simple love. And so therefore, I really believe what Jesus is looking at is a little, little child in our society. Take today and see where in your neighborhood, in your family, look at a child. My cousin, Christine, of baby, she was so sweet, Olivia, just her eyes, her every smile, everything that would come into that child's face would be some of the most beautiful things that I could remember. I think that's the kind of child this was that our Lord meant in the gospel. There's a prayer. I was with my cousin and he had been making an avina to know what job he should take. And his favorite saint, and she is a favorite saint of so many, was the little flower. He would say this prayer to God through the intercession of St. Teresa. And she claimed, those who are devotees of St. Teresa claim, that they receive a rose or would have a rose as a sign that their prayer would be answered. And he made an avina and he got not only a rose, but his wife had given him this 30 roses. She didn't know that he was doing this, saying these prayers. He got an offer for a job that was absolutely unable to refuse. It was so powerful a sign right after he had received this bouquet of roses. And it was a sign to him that he should change his job. So many that I've talked to, the beautiful example of the little flower of humility, simplicity, childlikeness, and the prayer. My mother's middle name was Cecilia Teresa Esef. It's on her tombstone. She had this tremendous devotion. In fact, she gave a middle name to my sister Marlene. Marlene is Marlene Therese and also Mayanne Therese. And she had great devotion to the little flower. And she herself was a third -order Carmelite. And she had a way about her. My mother's prayer was very powerful for all of us. All of us, my cousins and so many people in our family. She never was out there. She wasn't someone who got into the mother's in school or in the altar and rosary in the parish or outside the family. She had five children. When I was a little boy, I would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I would see my mother on her knees. I thought every mother did this. When she would take us for a walk, she would stop in the church and she would make the Stations of the Cross. And we would kind of be there with her. But we just took for granted. That's what mom did. All her life, her entire life, her rosary, her prayers. And she had this power about her. Not really being noticed. But in our family, I would say, everyone who would refer to my mother would say she was like the holiest person they had ever met at her death. That's what she was known for. Prayer, humility, and childlikeness. She had a simplicity about her. And I saw this characteristic in some. When a person has this hiddenness, this characteristic of trusting in the power of prayer. Although the little flower never left her caramel and died at the age of 24, she has been known all over the Catholic world as the patroness of the missions. She is the saint of Vietnam.

Riot Games Acquires Hytale Developer Hypixel Studios
"League of Legends developer Riot Games has just shared its next big bet. Recently, the company said it had acquired Hypixel Studios. They're the creator of an upcoming role -playing game called Hytale. If you're not familiar with the game, think Minecraft, but with more of a focus on adventuring and combat. Riot didn't disclose the financial terms of the acquisition. However, it doesn't sound like Riot plans to change too much about how the studio functions. The company says Hypixel will retain its current structure with plans to open a new office in Northern Ireland that will host additional back office and quality assurance staff. Riot adds it will share its experience in developing and publishing acclaimed player -focused games with Hypixel. The acquisition is the latest move in what has already been a big year for a studio that for the longest time only had a game to its name. It's not surprising to see Riot try to recreate the success of Minecraft. The now almost 10 -year -old title is one of the most popular games in the world at the

NASA's James Webb Telescope Fully Deploys Its Primary Mirror
"NASA's next great observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, has fully deployed its primary mirror for the first time, marking another milestone on the journey to space. Before all work on the next generation instrument, which is scheduled to launch sometime in 2021, was paused due to the COVID -19 pandemic, technicians and engineers at the agency were going through a series of tests with the telescope before it was sent off to board the Arane 5 rocket. Now, recently in one of these tests, the Space Telescope successfully extended and unfolded its entire 21 -foot, 4 -inch primary mirror, the largest mirror of its kind that NASA has ever built. The mirror opened up into the same configuration that it will once the telescope is in space. During the test, Webb's mirror was hooked up to specialized gravity offsetting equipment that simulated the zero -gravity environment in space. So, not only did the mirror deploy as designed, it did so in a space -like environment, demonstrating its readiness. Engineers and technicians will deploy Webb's primary mirror only one more time before it's shipped off to its launch site. Passing this test is another significant milestone showing Webb will deploy properly in space. This is a great achievement and an inspiring image for the entire team. Webb's primary mirror is a critical piece of the instrument. A telescope's sensitivity is directly related to the size of its mirror, which determines how much light the telescope can collect from the objects that it

"Take some mushrooms. You got a fuckin' 120 goddamn clones going. Well, see, that's the thing. And you can't clone and you can't save. Like you can't do a clone only or you can't save that one that you've been pheno hunting for the last three years. But you know, for like old people, think about this, man. If you could buy some affordable beans, you know, I might even get like an older person that's not even into it just growing them for the looks, man. Or even the smell. Can you imagine that? Some old person's like, I love the smell of that little purple plant and just grow it for the looks. You know what I gotta do, though? I gotta fill my bathtub with, because I got 120 clones going here. Oh, I see what you're saying. In my clone machine. So in like the next 20 minutes or so, I'm gonna fill up the goddamn bathtub. And then I, it's the third time it's happened. And so during this cycle of these clones, and so now I have to take them and switch them to bathrooms. They said that it's the underground wire at the substation. That's scary. It's our local substation here. But if you look at the Oregon map, you can look right now for electric outages of Oregon. I'll show you outages that's happening right now in Roseburg. But you'll see most likely what I was noticing when I was checking this shit out last week is that there's gonna, there's probably at least one other outage in Oregon right now. And they're saying that these, they said it's an underground wire. I think it's fucking rolling back out, man. Or, yeah, brown out back out. I think they're doing them to, because the grid, the infrastructure grid is for shit and this weather is dangerous. I will have to get going here in 15, 20 minutes. Okay. Well, it sounds like you got that bathtub that you got. Yeah, but so the problem with that is The bathtub tech. You got that? I'm not comfortable with that water. Only half of them are rooting right now. Half of them rooted really well. And then the other half didn't. And I think that's because I have them sleeping in the bathtub. And they aren't rooting. There is nothing, but there's nothing wrong with little hydro bathtubs Little hydroponics in the tub tech. Fuck. Fuckers. God damn it. My thing is I'm like, three times in one month, man. It's like, it's fucking, this ain't gonna get any better any time. Call him up and be like, do you know who you're cutting power to? Do you know who the fuck you're cutting power to, bro? I did that last time. Not that, not that. But I just was like, I let them have it, man. And I was just like, what the fuck? Because it was two times it happened one day and then it happened again the next day. The next day it was for like eight hours. I got 120 motherfucking clones in here in my tub, bitch.

So great Tyler is an Illinois legend, right? Coaching the U of I brought Kevin Anderson over and, you know, Kevin Edison, we know got to the 2017 U.S. open final. Same year Sloan won the U.S. open that year, so that was a great run and create. And I mean, from the per diem from the food from the salon at the place. I mean, it just is the first class event. So it's kind of funny. I don't know if people really recognize it, and I don't want to digress from this subject matter, but I'm kind of proud of this South Africans have done a major job on tennis. Since the 60s, let me give you an example. You know, Craig Tyler is the modern day guru for Grand Slam events and obviously built up a fantastic tournament where the Australian open. But there was another gentleman by the name of Owen Williams. Who was South African born, he was a pro player in the 60s. He's now probably deep into his 80s. I used to have, when I played the South African open back in the early 80s and 80s, it was a difficult time because it was apartheid era. I was blackballed, blah, blah, blah, but you know, I try to support South African tennis and I ended up winning the tournament in 1993 when Owen Williams was a tournament director in Johannesburg. What people don't realize is that the South African open was the 5th oldest tournament in the world after the full majors. And so when South Africa switched to governments in 93, within a couple of years, the South African open had completely disappeared, the wholesale African tennis union was running to the ground with bankrupt. And so in order to pay off the bills in South Africa, they sold the date to a tournament in Barcelona. I think it was Madrid.

"Americans understand double standards and when people in the right see and hear that sorta stuff they understand. They can't trust cnn. They can't trust the news. They get from it because they know their worldview isn't going to be honestly reflected. I mean cnn. Basically purged any pro-trump votes other than rick. Santorum who's not exactly the spokesman for anything supportive of the president the the republicans who were mostly the voices on cnn are uniformly aligned against the president cnn claims to be an objective news outlet. But it's not really anymore as someone who worked there. That's disappointing. I get a lot of friends that are have a lotta respect for the people who work there. But we've got an anchor at cnn. Say that people who support the president's policy support the clan and there's not a rebuke there's an incentive. There's an encouragement there. There's a desire to push that out an amplify to tell people. Hey you don't have to watch. Nbc msnbc come watch us. It's a ratings ploy the rates distrust and mistrust and news networks. If they want to help fix the country they've got to be mindful of that and do better themselves. I really found in the last number of years that the american media institutions are some of the least self reflective institutions in the world and there are some of the ones that actually need some deep self reflection if they wanna really help patch up whatever is left of a country that we have but none of them are interested in doing it because outrage gets more traffic and it's all a ratings ploy..

If you voted for donald trump he liked his policies. Wallace as you would if you don't like him but you liked this policies don lemon still says you're on the side of the clan. Seventy five million. Americans including a growing number of black and hispanic voters voted for donald trump or the black men who voted for donald trump on the side of the clan or the hispanic voters male and female who voted for donald trump. The side of the clan know that don lemon would say this on. Cnn is part of cnn's problem. It's part of the media's problem the american mainstream media and by that i mean the major media outlets of this country from the new york times to the washington post to cnn to nbc abc cbs. Cbs are deeply hostile. To the seventy five million americans who voted for donald trump instead of trying to understand their concerns by the most part they treat them as if they're part of the kkk they treat them as part of a conspiracy. You see progressives online increasingly vocal people including a james clapper formerly with the cia. Now a talking head on tv suggesting that. There's gotta be some sort of truth and reconciliation commission if you support donald trump you've got to be publicly shamed unless you apologize and renounce it seventy five million people voted for donald trump. Donald trump lawfully legitimately was elected president of the united states for four years to shame. Seventy five million americans. It's not gonna work. The nation is deeply divided to have a news host. Say seventy five million. Americans are on the side of the clan because they voted for donald trump in some of donald trump's supporters Did this should be condemned by the very network. That aired that monologue. Because it's not news. It's opinion in cnn prides itself of being a news network. But seeing it also really likes. This is really important for everyone to understand. Cnn at this point genuinely likes the sort of stuff because cnn has found that the very click bady stuff and an outrage media that. It's appalled that fox used might run. Cnn does the same damn thing. These days cnn does it and attracts a liberal audience. That doesn't want to consider itself so far whacked out the good. Msnbc and they cater to that audience.

"If your child doesn't go to a local school. Your local school doesn't get that money anyway. So if you withdraw your kid and homeschool of the money goes away This is essentially a is an argument to force kids to be trapped in schools whose doors are closed. A lot of parents of the state across racial lines and party lines are furious. That schools aren't opening in large part. Because there is ample data at this point globally. Not just in the united states. That school systems are not really vectors. For the virus in fact it appears in a large study. That's just come forward that the big viral spread right. Now that we're seeing in this country is happening Through twenty and thirty somethings not through senior citizens and that in a global study. They can't trace schools as vectors to the virus. It appears kids are getting the virus. But they're getting it out of school. They're not spreading within school. And that's a very important point here. That's getting missed by a lot of people. The virus is not spreading in schools. Kids are getting it. But they're getting it a cold. They're not getting it in school. And the data is pretty clear on that and so west cantrell republicans in the legislature. Here in georgia. They would like to give the money that flows two schools from the state government To parents allow them to use it to pay for tuition and private schools so their kids can get out of these public schools.

Your and your team's commitment to that mission represents the best of the george business community and reminds us all what is possible in rural georgia on behalf of all georgians. Thank you sir and thank you and your team. God bless you microphone keeps cutting out You know what i'm gonna. I'll i'll pause here. We'll come back to the governor. I don't wanna just give him my whole show all to some degree. I feel like i should given some announcements that he's making. I've been perusing the speech though One of the things that he wants to say is Well let me just read this to you. On may fifth twenty twenty viral video shocked the world the horrific killing of ahmed. Aubrey shook a georgia community to its very core. We all felt anger disbelief and a deep sorrow but none more than almonds family and loved ones. Ahmed was the victim of a vigilante style of violence. That has no place in our state. The range behavior that led to this tragedy was excused away because of an antiquated law. That is ripe for abuse in enable sinister evil motives. That's why my administration plans to introduce reforms to the state citizens arrest statute and working with our legislative leaders and members of both parties. I believe we can take steps to provide a better safer more just future for our state. We can against into clear message. Georgia is a state that protects its people and fights injustice wherever it is found and then he pivots to praising police officers who have been defending the state of georgia. So big note here. The governor is not proposing abolition of the citizens. Arrest law. Like some people want. He's willing to reform it and he's going to propose reforms but he is not willing to scrap the citizens arrest law in the state of georgia which is probably the right compromise. Some on the left will wanna push him further but He striking the right note here that the the state's law hasn't been updated in about one hundred years. I understand if i understand correctly so it gives him an opportunity to address an update. The law the current standards without actually getting rid of the law. And i think that is that that's appropriate The other big things In addition to school funding that the governor wants to do. Is i believe eat a and i mentioned earlier house bill. Sixty that west cantrell has. It has died in the house. The senate is actually a very much a proponent of the legislation the senate would very much like to see this legislation pass and they understand it. It's it's a big deal You got some members of the house wanted but the speaker of the house. David ralston has repeatedly aligned with house. Democrats to kill The the school choice initiative essentially what it does is as i explained earlier house bill. Sixty.

And if i can figure out a way to make that work and balance it i would And starting to get some interest from around the the nation We've got a couple of stations. Reach out not georgia. That are interested in picking up the show and i'm going to have to work the balance. I know that because. I am georgia i am. I'm in middle georgia. I care passionately about what goes on in my state. I want to be able to do this if i could find way. You know for those of you who listen..

"Details here about what's happening in georgia from november through from november elections through january fifth in the georgia. Run off with the democrats won both seats the chairman of the georgia republican party. David shafer the president of the united states. Donald trump members of congress like merger taylor green other republicans outside voices like lynnwood. Sydney powell rudy. Giuliani have complained repeatedly that the election was stolen in georgia through edited footage doctored footage Nonsensical releases Thrown out data. That did not turn out to be true. Lists of names did not turn out to be true as false electors. They built an elaborate story in narrative about a stolen election in georgia and claimed that if brian kemp did not call a special session of the legislature to change the law before the runoff that the election would be stolen again as the election. Drew near and brian kemp refused to call a special session. They complain louder. Brian kemp the speaker of house. Lieutenant governor all came out and said there could be no special session because it was well settled legal principle. You can't call a special gesture session and changed. The rules of election already underway. It would be thrown out and not apply anyway. It was a waste of taxpayer dollars to do it. And it would do no good. Several members of the state senate continued to advance the fiction of a stolen election Senators brought jones and brandon beach. Brassica william lincoln and others have continued to advance this narrative of stolen in georgia there were hearings among republicans in the state senate where people came in and presented nonsensical fairy tales about the stolen election. One person came in claimed to have hacked the voting system in georgia. It was not true. It turned out that this person was someone who used a new name because in his old name he helped A caused a technological calamity in the nation and and hurt radio shack and was one of the precipitating events for radio shacks bankruptcy so he changed his name. He came in claiming he had hacked and The voting system in georgia which he did not do he was able to hack a polling pad. Which is what you use to check in in your in the election And the polling pads are connected to the internet so that it can be downloaded. Voter files can be downloaded. And then they're turned off before election day but he couldn't actually provide the documentation but based on what he said and described. It showed that it was a pulley bed. Not a dominion voter system machine..

"Then thing is massive. It is john norma's we. We've got a back porch at her house. We screened everything in It was going to be the hang out for me and my friends where we could smoke cigars and whatnot. Got an air purifier. Back there well. It turns out that the cigar smell filters into the house. I guess comes through the cracks windows. Something like the the seal of the window so can't do the cigar back there but we can watch the football games and we watched that it was. It was a fantastic game but man did alabama crush ohio state. I actually thought that ohio state might be able to pull it off. Give them what they did to clemson in large part because they were more rested than alabama because they only had a half season or so but nope alabama stop them he was it was a really good game. I also watch the What the the steelers browns game on. Sunday. i was kinda hoping you knew it was rush. Limbaugh seventieth birthday Two days. What tuesday i guess was russia's birthday or was it wednesday tuesday. I think i was. I was really hoping the steelers could pull off a win. Rushes a huge steelers fan but it was to no avail The the cleveland browns actually did something good for once in their lives Any y'all here for that We got other news. We need to talk about when we come back. The governor will soon be giving his state of the state address I i may try to bring it up. Oh ooh what's this. I just got a copy. I just got a copy of the state of the state address. Oh oh oh no. Sorry i was. It's embargoed. I see now in embargoed until he says it now what what is embargoed until he says it means. I can't tell you what the governor is saying in his state of the union state of the state speech and the the state of the state is actually given so I will we will await the governor state of the union state of the state speech when he comes back with i. I'm gonna find out what it is. So i can give you some experts of it or maybe play but we do have some general parameters because he gave an interview to the atlanta journal constitution of some of the things he wants to do. He wants to be a bridge builder this year. Possibly getting arrest of getting rid of the citizens arrest law but also he does want voter reform.

"And how is he compromised now because he was fairly supportive of the president's policies along so the republicans in washington blame the president for costing them the senate mitch. Mcconnell is furious about it the fact of the matter is republicans actually bought it. They did not go. Vote in georgia for the runoff. They declare their turnout. Rate declined thirty percent. The democratic radio lead declined between ten and fifteen percent the republicans flat out gave up and let the democrats win the senate so you've got republicans now on the on the senate side to consider this. There are some republicans. Tom cotton being one of them saying that. You can't. it's bad precedent to try to convict. A president have an impeachment trial after the president. Left office mitch. Mcconnell yesterday said it's going to be impossible to do an impeachment trial. He says it's going to be impossible because the shortest impeachment trial took twenty one days. And there's just no way to get it done before the inauguration so they wanna focus their time on confirming joe biden's cabinet secretaries before biden becomes president. Which is historic tradition. And he'll let the democrats went off and were not get their. Try the impeachment They can handle the impeachment trial without the republicans. Doing it now. Schumer believes she can get some republicans to vote for it. Although probably not two-thirds he may be able to. He'll probably definitely get a mitt romney and he'll get a susan or maybe a susan collins. He'll get lisa murkowski. he'll get a pat toomey. Maybe he'll get a richard burr. Who's done anyway. Maybe a ben sasse possibly mitch mcconnell. If you get mitch mcconnell you may get a few more republicans who released at this point. They don't care. They're not up for reelection while some of them just one. Maybe they'll do it. And then they can't get a majority vote to bar the president from ever holding office again. And that's the way this works. That's the importer important process here. Is that the senate has to have trial and when the trial is concluded they vote. And if you have a two-thirds vote for conviction then by a majority vote the senate can bar president trump from ever holding office again in the united states and some of the republicans in the senate what that because they think the republicans will not be able to move on and find a new leader of the party as long as trump is in the shadows..

Seventy four percent of the house of representatives voted to impeach him. So andrew johnson holds the record for Largest percentage vote in favor of impeachment. The president holds the vote for largest bipartisan impeachment..
