"Proposition messaging on everything you do for buying process right. You're going to have a higher achievement rate and number three. I look at cell cycle length. Because i truly don't believe you can say well we're averaging one hundred twenty eight day so i just got to be one hundred twenty days. Now it's like how. Can i get it to one hundred days or ninety days so those three things can dramatically impact sales productivity agreed except for the last one so because because again from my perspective sales cycles not a duration. That's a quantity explained that i don't. I don't understand that the number of hours you have to spend to move somebody from initial point of interest to win so that right that's ours. That's not duration. So oftentimes we extend the duration as sellers because of actions that we take. Or don't take. There's no reason that those hours have to take place within one hundred and twenty days. You might be able to have those hours take. I don't see. I come from the perspective and my experiences that customers by large unless it's a procurement they're not setting out to spend one hundred and eighty days to make a decision on something they if they had the right information understanding but it could make a decision in half that time i agree and if you believe an all. The researcher says sixty to seventy percent of the buying process completed before they gauge with the salesperson. Right so that means. i don't buy that. I what i do. What i recommend to my clients is you need to and i always did this. And my own operating roles. I looked at inbound. Marketing generated leads versus outbound generated through the sales development or the as an. I majored those cell cycle links. Enclose rates independently. And then. of course you can imagine if you do that you're gonna find. The closed rate on inbound is anywhere from twenty to fifty percent higher twenty to fifty percent higher. Why is the win rate so much higher because a significant less amount ends up in closed lost no-decision smiling because i remember being on a webinar seven. Eight years ago where somebody claimed using the same data are not the same data. The sort of the same scenarios claimed up data showed the just the opposite that the wind rates on mound were substantially higher than on inbound. And not only that. But the average contract value on deals that outbound where substantially higher. Now i i told the guy said you can't say that because i it's just not true i don't i don't you. Maybe more true what you're saying that you know they. They win more often. And so i. I tend to believe that's the case but yeah and i decided i didn't agree that that i just put a spin on it. You're saying it's not this to me. It's not the sixty seventy percent happens before they first engaged with a seller. I think it's sixty to seventy percent of a takes place if not more takes place out of view of the seller..

You had turn morality on its head. Everything that was good would become evil and everything that was able would become good. That's the basic principle of the satanic movement and king. James was battling that a lot of good leaders have battled in ever since and part of battling it is exposing simply holding it up to the light of day because satan knowledge thrives in the shadows and satan is a very alluring and beautiful idea. But you know it's not what you think. It is behind the behind the mask. I would argue that. The entire torah in their in their condemnation of idol worship. That's what that was all about. And the idol worship just takes on different forms. You know it's still with us today. It's called the oligarchy. I mean in a sense. So that's how the double works is.

How news stations are making money versus youtube celebrities in. I think the problem is comparing all podcasting. Which is this open format with a lot of ways to go about it selling individual content putting it behind a membership based paywall allowing it completely free and doing ad-supported doing it completely free in hopes of it becoming something else and we're comparing this format and then people are talking about youtube.

I would kind of roll my eyes but it would be. Yeah that's what i would say. Is that you know every year. We get more and more podcasts. We've you know we've had a million podcast now.

That is podcasting. And you know that's fine. When apple has had no skin in the content game the more they get skin in the content game the mole that they have other priorities in terms of filtering. So for me. It's almost a curation issue in that they the the distributors all becoming ever more content creators. And you know that creates a sort of inherent to their business model. Is they have to privilege their own content in the distribution and not just changes the whole ethos of podcasting from something that was you know this open and anyone could do us and you know you never knew what was going to go far what was going to work To something which is is much more end to end.

You want to a club Size you want to make that decision to eat healthier you want to you can see how a lot of people then have these Downstream major positive effects of starting with hormone therapy. And I don't think that means it fails. I think that means they're smart. I think there is nothing more natural than replacing a hormone that you lost compare this to hyper or hypo thyroidism. You may have that condition from a know a friend or family member who does if you lose your thyroid, we don't say well you're really going to fail if you don't stick this out, right? No, we replace the the thyroid hormone that you're missing because it has so many effects on your body and estrogen ladies and gentlemen is no friggin different now, is it natural that we go ahead and pause sure, but it's only natural to me because we have outlived our ovaries a really think that we were created to have estrogen around the majority of Our Lives just like thyroid so we don't say birth. Stick it out that your TSH is a hundred. Sorry. Not not a whole lot we can do it's really dangerous for you take thyroid. Listen, thyroid hormone has side effects too. It's not just replace estrogen. We have overestimated and really put the the fear in women about taking hormone therapy and I'm multiple podcasts. I'm not so I don't want to divulge too much in on that. But again, I think you are winning if you feel great and for a lot of women, especially that I see because right when you're at your wits end and you're really symptomatic you down to see the menopause expert and so the majority of time I would say sixty seventy percent of the time we are doing hormone therapy.

"Way. I think the question that sometimes comes up for people and you addressed it a little bit. But i'd like to hear it a little your answer. A little bit more is is it realistic to think that someone can achieve financial wellness through technology using an app on their phone. Now i'm gen xer so you can say yes malillin. Gen z are all about this kathleen. It could be that. Maybe they can't so. So how do you answer that jessica. Is that something. That's a reasonable goal for people to do this through an app. I can't just answer. Yes or no i can answer both. Yes and no so. Is it possible for someone to achieve complete financial wellness as if they sat down from a cf across from cfp through technology. The answer is no personal. Finance is such an intimate overwhelming at times experience. We are certain we've done the research at our company. We've done the research fair. Very broadly people still want hand holding. So that's why we are not trying to create a tool that replaces myself as an adviser. However if you think of okay kathleen if you and i were sitting across from each other and i was taking you through a cfp experience. The certified financial planning experience. We probably have three or four or five meetings. I would have to understand a lot about you and about your you know your personal situation your financial situation your goals even your deep intimate feelings about money etc to be able to give you advice. What we've learned is that we can take a really big portion of that. Get to know you process and put technology behind it. So we like to think that our software can be the first fifty sixty seventy eighty percent of that process getting that adviser to that intimate conversation. Sooner if there are many cases that i do believe in. Here's where the yes comes in. I do believe that using our software can take someone from again zero to fifty sixty seventy percent of sitting across from adviser which is a heck of a lot more than that person probably started out with. So i think for the masses are tool is good enough and i think for you know maybe some of that wants to work with a traditional adviser we can just cue up those conversations sooner and what's interesting. Having gone on the platform having downloaded it answered some initial questions is. They weren't the questions that i was expecting Interesting and i can't remember the in particular questions but there was a psychological peace. Yes emotional piece. That i just didn't expect and of course given what i do. I was thrilled with and so it is different than i've experienced with other types of technology when it comes to just the nuts and bolts of finance. Yeah i love that you bring that up..

We're gonna talk about that too and we're dividing care and welcome to the show thank you. It's great to be here. I love talking about this stuff. Awesome before we get into that whole journey of the basement getting customer which is important. I love to hear about your journey of. How did you get into digital marketing. In the first place. I love to hear the background story. that's a great question. So i think a lot of soul preneurs. I tricked into it. So my background is in the corporate world working with licensed consumer products. Nothing digital really about that. And when i left the corporate world i went on to do the exact same thing i was doing in the corporate world but for myself and for a lot of different companies and from their marketing is marketing to most people. They don't really understand the different aspects of marketing and so as i was helping people market consumer products. They started to ask things like. Can you my website. Will you manage my organic content. We run some paid ads for me. And i just kept saying nano. That's that's not really what we do. That's not the plan. That's not the goal. And eventually i said you know what sure. Let's try this. And so i got into it. A little bit woke up one day realize. Oh my gosh. This is sixty seventy percent of the business at this stage. Can't be ignored any longer. It's a there's a huge demand out there and so took it upon myself to go out there and get really really good at it and continue to try to get really really good. And that's that's what brought me to digital marketing while that's awesome you said a couple of things even in that short journeys statement they. I'm sure you're just glossing over so much but marketing is marketing. I love that statement. Because that's really true it doesn't matter what your outreaches what matters is that you're actually getting the business and you're getting the customer so many different ways you can do it and digital is so huge now like you said it's become a significant part of business in general and also for you. You also mentioned something else in that was you've worked with the bigger brands. But you actually. I kind of mentioned it morning intro but you told personally gotta before our interview how. You work with the smaller brands. So how do you work with the big brands. What caused that transition for you to work in with folks like sonars right so i worked with a bigger brands like the brands. You mentioned our brand. I worked with the corporate world. And so once i left. I had those relationships still. And i continued to work with some of those friends but that was all more in the consumer products realm and the manufacturers i was actually representing we're probably mid sized to large companies and then some small companies that we took on an as we pivoted more toward digital the cool thing about digital. Is it levels the playing field. And so there are very small companies solo preneurs. Who are doing. I know you know this. But massive massive businesses and experiencing massive success and most importantly having a massive impact out there and so that just really caught my attention as people are really wanna work with exactly at know you're doing seven figures and more ariza's solar preneurs can be done.

I imagine she goes home to a house by herself. You know makes her plane. White toews has her t. You know reads a book And goes to bed. you know. There's not a lot to her daily life. She's kind of shut down to emotional attachments.

In this case less would be more you know so and i mean even in episode where they give her back story via the puppet show. It still doesn't justify our actions. It gives her more of a reason.

I thought that was that was quite interesting and it there is a very Stark difference between brands that understood gaming and you could tell like you said in the first three minutes you could understand. Hey, the person behind this brand is a gamer or has some sort of knowledge of this space for a dog. They're not and I just saw with the Ford F-150. I covered that for adweek this week. They one there was one thing that made it clear to me that they understood the space. And that was that they created a freestyle rocket League competition, which is free styling is basically just doing crazy flip resets jumping off the ceiling bouncing off the ground whatever you want to do, but it's a fairly Niche part of Rocket League community and people inside it are are well aware of people freestyling but a brand like Ford is not always going to be and that was kind of like the okay these people probably get it because they've made a smart competition to do this and then I'm hoping that they also are mandating that all eight freestylers are using Ford F-150s because that would also be surprised if you wish if it's amazing like those the videos that get rid of and I assume they did their research on that for Rocket League the videos they give you worship are those videos that do freestyles. They do the the double Taps triple Taps the stuff off the roof to basically do the trick shots, and I'm like, it's amazing job. State I'm like cuz I play a ton of Rocket league and it's it's hella fun, but it's the best. It's amazing. It is amazing. They did such a good job with it.

And that's going to be about sixty seventy percent of what corporate cultures all about if you understand the communication patterns and what's acceptable and how to communicate. How do you deliver bad news to the boss..

"There's a tantric breathing technique where you do what's called four stage breath control and you do your accelerations. The the way that. I the way that you just heard me do it and as you do this you close your mouth. When you're about sixty seventy percent finished with your explanation and you kind of focus on creating vibrations and this is something that will make your voice a bit more powerful and deep in fact a bulgarian girl told me at a party just the other day that i sounded a little bit like darth vader which i'll take as a compliment and it's largely because of this breathing exercise that i do but you do sound a little bit like darth vader snoring. While you're doing it fun fact. So this is the limitless mindset hugh and a session. We've got some great questions. I'll start with a comment by again. In john doe. Probably not his real name.

I i i lost it. I couldn't stick with your video because it was it was it was so long. Well john duboe. I'm in a challenge. You a little bit on this this attention issue that you are describing if your on able to watch my video about adhd and my video is less than thirty minutes long if you're unable to watch it completely or pay attention to it or put it on in the background while you're doing something else and still pay enough attention to that you're able to take something away from it valuably.

"I hate to even bring this up but a lot of places are going to get some snow some serious snow this weekend. I know that especially north of columbus. They're talking about several inches of snow. And what are we looking at As far as do's and don'ts on snow removal. Marcus darn good question. And i saw the news last night kind of watch. The weather person Anyhow there are gonna be some significant amounts of snow. No snow has wait. This is not all that if it gets too darn deep remember that it came down slowly and built to that so it's not necessarily On what you say. Ground level plants up head hyphen above. It's not really getting to be too heavy on them. However i have several evergreens that will have put split open with snow load on individual stems instead of standing up right. they'll burn turn almost. Oh halfway towards the ground if they get too heavy now another year. I'm gonna have to kind of what i call string those together but at the same time On the do's and don'ts number one the snow comes down slowly adds weight slowly so do not be tempted to take broom handle or some other such and go out and knocked the snow off real quickly because as you are pushing shoving and or beating on the plant you're probably in the tissue below the bark and causing problems for next summer so number one. It went down slowly if you must remove the the snow for well over the driveway or walkway. Or whatever then do so. But it generally more or less as i will say. Sweep it off and try not to to bash and destroy the bark under the needles and or stems and so on. So that's part of it. The other part is Specially now along driveways and and it cetera. The the snow piles up in the most awkward places of course and it needs to be removed. Now if you have driven in and out of your driveway and you've been out on the streets and they've been saturated was solved and or other materials you come in snow becomes slush and it becomes packed out enough. You really have to shovel hard. And the closest place to dump. It is always the best place in a physical sense but if that happens to be a bed that has bulbs and or annuals. And so on. And you're you're adding salty junkie water if you will to the area where plants don't need it at least not at those levels so if you can When we get a heavy snow put well. You can burn along onto but at the same time far better that you would snow or blow or throw whichever out onto the lawn and not on top of the plants because sometimes shovel snow way. Fifteen twenty pounds. And if that clark's down on a for a little plant that's hard on it. And then the the salt is also the material that reverses the us well the the plants ability to pick up the water and so on and then for heaven sakes and i have to dwell on it but My my good friend full bird colonel retired etc cetera. Put two handles on his push broom in in length any reach these one story house. He reached up into the of forgot what they're called the valleys and pulled the snow off onto the ground so that he would not have any problems with water. Get up on the shingles. And so on well he was pulling off fifty pound quantities dumping them on his rhododendrons azaleas and he broke off easily. Sixty seventy percent of the tops of them A big oh. Shucks which we discussed and he was ready to replant. I said no. No no hold on. They were physically burdened and broken. They have good parts less on above the soil line for the most part as a lot of really grow and in the second year those plants were at least as bushy and pretty as they had been not not quite as big but We save the expense but he will not pull the snow the valleys on its roof anymore and i recommend nobody else does either..

You thought herd immunity would save us? Maybe not
"We're talking about pandemics norman one of the phrases that was bandied about a lot especially at the beginning was the idea of herd immunity that we get to a stage where the virus con spread willy nilly through the community anymore because enough people have had it that it doesn't spread as rapidly anymore and the theoretical threshold for that based on how much a single person with covid sort of tends to spread to was about sixty seventy percent. So what do we know about places in the world where there has been a lot of cover transmission whether we're reaching this community threshold and it's actually making a difference. Well funny you should say that because a couple of days ago in the lancet published a report from brazil which is actually quite disturbing. So the reported from a city in brazil called monas- who are monogamous. Which is in the amazon northwest brazil. I think it is and they had done a study of blood. Donors indicated four seventy. Six percent of the population had been affected with sars cov to by october of last year. And therefore you would assume with fat pie attack rates. You've got herod immunity which is above sixty as you said between sixteen seventy percent except that happened in january in other words just this month between the first of january in january nineteenth compared to december first two thousand nine hundred they had three thousand four hundred thirty one hospital admissions for sars coffee to for covid nineteen compared to five hundred and fifty two in the first twenty days for three weeks of december right. So they've had a big spike last year. It's dropped off. And now the saying a big spike again now. This and hospitalizations had remained low for about seven months. And you've just seen this spike in january and The question is what's going on here. So you could have overestimated the attack rate and the haired immunity ratio so possible that it's a high estimate in terms of when people were immune but even their low estimates based on perhaps errors in their assumptions of Wayne people what antibody response. It's still about fifty two percent as their low estimate there and that should still can fair some degree of immunity. But they do say that when you compare. The blood donors to average population. There was no difference in the university seems to be quite a representative sample of the general community. So they assume but seventy six percent is accurate so then they go onto looking at whether or not. There's been a waning of antibodies. During that time that could be other response but they showed that you and british healthcare workers reinfection was rare up to about six months after the primary infection. It could be due to variance because we've talked a lot on kron cast by the variance in brazil and they've really got to three lineages of variants in brazil which could be both more virulent and indeed war contagious. So the worry here is that we don't really know why they've had a resurgence in a community that should be pretty immune and it's not that these people are getting a model infection the second time around either because the measure that they looking at his hospitalization so presumably people quite sick. Yes and there is growing evidence that some some of these variants are were virulence. Although that's that's not been confirmed in any pure view jr journal. In fact one thing i need to say. But this paper is that it's in the lancet. And therefore it has gone undergone some degree of peer review rather than some of the other pre publication papers. We sometimes court from. So what are we. Take away from this. It seems like a pretty scary fact is is heard immunity. A false goal. Do we know whether vaccination is going to have a long long lasting immunity associated with it like this kind of worrying. It is kind of wearing. The good news is that consistent evidence from immunization at least with the astro vaccine and the fis vaccine even though the astro vaccine may be less efficacious at preventing all disease is that they do seem to generate an immune response. That's bigger and deeper than you get from alive infection which is very unusual. 'cause usually live infections. Give you a better degree of immunity particularly with influenza. But it seems to be contradicted in this. So it's likely that vaccination gives you a better immune response that lasts longer. But you'd have to say that from the study you don't have to watch pretty closely whether or not immunity wayne's faster are your vulnerable to variants more than people have thoughts. I mean it's it's mystery could be wrong but it's a it's a real warning sign.

"sixty seventy percent" Discussed on Historically Thinking
"Just be better in thinking about the topic And that that seems really intuitive. And that's the same. The same is true when when it comes to reading as well kids when we say what. What should we if back knowledge is important to reading. What should what background knowledge to kids need to have in. The answer is well. What do you want them to be able to read about. Yeah so we're getting into this Sort of the paradox but that to To read better we have to read Which is maybe blindingly obvious. But a as. I think you're pointing out doesn't hasn't seemed to have been obvious at. There's there's no way to read well other than to read a lot and that's just the way it is. There's no there's no shortcut there's no there's no methodology to teach The way to read is read. Yeah i think that's generally true you can especially in in When kizzee younger you can. We're talking about acquisition of background knowledge. There are other ways you learn about the world you. Can you know someone can read aloud to. You can watch documentary films and so on and You know that of the world is going to help you as a reader. You're going to have be able to replace more of that knowledge that the author felt that they they could safely omit because their their audience would know it. Now you're gonna know it so that can help too. But in general the way to get good reading is to do a lotta reading the by the way and having someone read aloud to now become seems to me having read. The book seems to be a lot more important than it was before. And this is the the idea of having a model kosaka reading right a model of prosodic reading and then especially for kids who are having a lot of trouble reading you still want them to be able to access content in schools. Learn stuff in school but that doesn't depend on reading because reading is something they're really struggling with. And when you you know in some school systems it can be like sixty seventy percent of instructional time in early. Elementary grades is devoted to english language arts. Well if i perceive that everyone's ahead of me. And i'm not wrong right. I mean like. I'm i'm really struggling here. This is this is the part of school. This really hard for me. And that's sixty or seventy percent of what we do. The you can hardly blame the child for concluding will schools. Just not the place for me may not you know everybody else succeeds in. I just feel ashamed all the time. This is terrible. So briefly Why do some people read and others. Don't do that much. I guess we should talk about talk about adults. You'd like you'd like this to be brief car. Okay take long as you want. Yeah there was a whole other. I wrote a whole of the whole book about this but Let's let's deal with something that's on my mind. I just hit record a conversation which listens of her before this. I with jim lang about his new book on distraction which is really about attentiveness and And he spends a first part of the book. Quit dismissing the idea that digital devices causing us to be more distracted but You suggest a way in which especially for me for you perhaps Digital devices are having an effect in ways that it's there are discouraging to read. Yeah i mean well so there. There's a couple of different pieces to this one. As a weather weather digital devices are causing people to read less The second is whether it's causing people read less of a certain types of content. Which i think is probably arrived. The thirds weather distracting so let. Let's let's try and take these one at a time In terms of leisure reading..

Tencent Buys Warframe
"The first here is from the motley fool and the headline tencent makes another billion dollar gaming acquisition. The chinese technology and media conglomerate has been on an acquisition spree in the gaming space making its leadership position even stronger What they bought here was Lay you lay you technologies. Which is the parent company of digital extremes And it's a canadian. Based video game studio known for war frame they also own studios including athlon and splash damage. Ten sense going to be paying roughly one and a half billion in cash Choir the company which is incredible The buying spree that they've been on the amount of cash that they've put out there the second acquisition this one I think we talked about it on a previous podcast And it was a agrees to a us. One point two billion dollar deal for f one video game developer code masters. I think when we talked about it we were talking about it in the context of take two interactive having made an offer and ea sort of just trump them. The came came up with an offer for about two hundred or two hundred and fifty million dollars more so they were willing to pay a higher Share price 'cause code masters is publicly traded. And so it looks like ea is going to end up acquiring code masters having outbid take two interactive. Which i think at the time when we talked about it we felt that was a big price. Tag billion dollars for code masters and now the looks like the trading price is going to be one point. Two billion so curious to get your guys thought You know we can talk about them individually or we can talk about sort of which one we think is the better acquisition Neil i don't know if you know the war frame guys. I know it is canadian based a candidate based But curious to get your thoughts on these two. My i take is. I know you guys are fans of this gentleman. But jeff bezos when you look at code masters being bought yeah code about being bought for one point two billion. Let's just taking kids that are issued. How amazing that twitch nine hundred seventy six years ago right on decide to eight point. Nine children should win. Ea i think is in such a good spot and we might say openly. Here that one would you billionaires demo overpaying if you look at the stock run that they've been onto it's a currency unto itself and there probably sixty seventy percent on the year and adding more aaa titles to their. Snow is all the better. I think they've just done a tremendous job in and similar racing at f. One especially with what we saw as a result of that netflix series drug survive and get him is f. One is making a huge comeback younger audiences and people that have now seen this through netflix. And then people that are you know. Middle aged or know mid thirties to my age is. We're all obsessed and we're following it every week and it's quite dramatic as i didn't care about f. one at all in the last couple of years. But i'll admit. I've i've in the playstation store i've bought the f. one game it's not that great in my opinion maybe not that good at driving it but i think the acquisition is worth the risk. You want to be known as as a world class when it comes to fee for Nhl sim racing. They've got such great titles along the way and you know the team over there in teams doing it competitive gaming entertainment now. They're just making the right most. I don't know much about this. Said deal admittedly But anything tencent touches It's a powerful move and they're building empire that we should be very very afraid of. I mean both seem like really good acquisitions from synergies perspective right because ea has all the sports titles so f one feels like a perfect fit and and ten cents graded monetization right. Probably better than anyone and wore. Frame really is one of these free to play like monetize. Every which way up the wazoo kind of games like it's in the ten cent portfolio both of these acquisitions. I have to tell you like in a vacuum. I thought they were already owned by the people. Buying them like no joke. Like i literally thought were frame was somehow i was like. That's just the sort of thing they buy and the same for ea. Like i literally thought. Like i played grid quite a lot in my memory. Brid was an ea game like it was published by ears. I don't know. But like i just that tells you how lake like well on portfolio on message these acquisitions. Our prices are high. But as neil said like the market tie and then took to other point as well you know putting in context of bazo acquisition. Like doesn't matter where you put money and put it games like i think anything that was bought for a billion dollars a couple years ago smart because there were a couple wasn't just twitch we had minecraft myra look in a world where roadblocks goes public at thirty billion or forty billion market cap like buying minecraft at four or five or whatever they paid right seems like house. Yeah just like microsoft like so like the bottom line is but guises whiting. Listen to this podcast. It's so important. It's just like this is not the exception. This is the norm putting money in games today will turn into more money later. More likely than not investment advice aside. I'm not a credit above because the industry is just so positioned. It's the future of so much entertainment media and everything so like the reason. We're observing these crazy exits and outcomes is because the space is a whole is growing so much right so lake. Get into the space. That's the bottom line william. I'm with you on that. A hundred thousand percent. And i think the interesting thing is re that are in the industry. we talk with these things very openly. We discuss them. But from an outside portfolio manager at a morgan stanley wherever they probably are afraid

Protect privacy with Priiv app
"So we all know that Google facebook and Amazon are following US everywhere we go monitoring our every move. A lot of us are upset about it. A lot of us don't know what to do about it. Craig Danilov has a solution with an APP called PRIB- and Craig before. I had you tell everybody about it let's just say what it says on page is you can stop. At sites and devices from taking and share your data tell everybody how you do that. Well, as you say, everyone's got a little uncomfortable with the amount of privacy and data were leaking of having stolen, and so we set up a couple of years ago out to help people to take back control, and there's basically three steps. The first is changing a bunch of settings. There's. A lot of options to protect yourself but you have to opt into privacy because by default your opt into sharing, and so we help people to make those changes You have to know a few things to make good decisions. So we give people tips and and educated a little bit and instruct, and then number three you need to add a few tools that are fulltime protectors. Like a password manager or tracking blocker VPN and so we help people to learn their options there choose and by a the privacy protecting tools that they need beside proof. So privy assorted guide, it's like a coach for privacy that gives you a path to make the changes that protect yourself do do you believe that if I follow your rules your guidelines? I can actually stop facebook. From actually following me. Well, you certainly cannot stop one hundred percent, but you can stop massive amounts of data that they get now and you can do some of that using facebook options. You know one nice thing in the last year. So they added a little toggle you can throw that stops them from getting off facebook data. So data when you go to all the websites that have liked buttons and Facebook integrations on the web, they're getting all that data about you thousands of data points you throw that switch at least that's not in their pile other. Things that you do with APPs tracking blockers cut off more and more. So I'd say probably cut off sixty seventy percent of their data. You know if you log into facebook in Click on instagram ads and scroll, they're gonNA know that but you can stop him from doing your location that there's a lot you can do and it'll help and I'm guessing that you don't think people should take the easy route and sign into APPs and websites with their facebook log in as opposed to separate one. Absolutely correct the log in with facebook is something or Google or linked in our once we do not recommend. Signed with apple however is pretty privacy friendly both since apple is more privacy friendly by default and they actually obfuscate or give you the choice of hiding your email from the co the signing into. So we actually allow signer with apple in the PRIV- APP. Okay. So the APP is free to download a do you have a recurring charges? the APP is free. There's going to be a pro version of starting next month, which has sort of like the. The first level or to are free, and then if you want to go further, you'll need to use the paid one anyone who gets prove before December, first is GonNa get pro for free for life. So if someone hears this and wants to grow grab the APP store, now's the time and we also have just started selling. Bundles of third party tools. So we recommend in review a lot of passer managers, VPN's and tracking blockers identity theft products. We now on our website which is the Privacy Dot Co.. Sell a bundle of those from third party. So we have dash. Lane, and we have Nordea peon and we have different products that we put together at a really great price for people who WanNa add that component to their protection already in the name of the APP is printed in its P. R. I.. B.

Lockdown in Honolulu
"Don Wallace is on the line from Honolulu. He tells US authorities they're put in a new set of restrictions because of a recent surge in Cova cases on Oahu justice they were hoping they could start reopening. It's crucial tourism industry. Don's a contributing editor at Honolulu magazine and he's updated us on Hawaii tourism in the past and done you're you're out there about twenty five, hundred miles away from anywhere else in the middle of the Pacific. Hawaii depends so much on tourism and I would imagine it's been quite a stressful time with the coronavirus continuing to spread. What's it like in Hawaii right now. Well the whiny started out as soon as thirty thousand tourists stopped coming way did very well on the virus were the lowest in the nation for states. Now we've had a spike starting at the fourth of July and August it began to get up to two hundred cases a day. I know that doesn't sound like much but. you don't have that many hospital facilities. That, we had to do a banning perks, beaches hiking trails and gatherings over ten So is the response and the impact of the corona virus different from different islands. who gets most of it in fact, it's almost miniscule on now big island, the ninety MILICI, those islands, the people can pretty much go cleese they. You wear masks you're allowed to fly into a walk who without according to you. But people who can't find their without of quarantine. What about people in the tourism industry? Are they impatient or they realizing that haste makes waste when it comes to getting over the so they can start making money again. It's a very interesting case people very concerned. There's no voice irresponsibly pushing for white opener light opening deal like Texas, did for instance. And I think that's because the workers sixty seventy percent of the are. No a minimum wage workers they don't have good health plans. They carry the burden of this, and the other part is the Theresa Stop Coming. Can Americans from the mainland fly into Hawaiian vacation if they want to yeah, you can come We get about three thousand a day. And I think the hitch there is you do a fourteen day quarantine and you check into your hotel and you can't leave your hotel room. The impact on tourism would be you're probably wondering around the beaches thinking this is like it was back in the old days. You're very much in nineteen threes, Hawaii. Waikiki is a ghost town. That's not entirely a bad thing We think tasteful Hawaii empty beaches, very clean water clean here you feel like being caress be hanging out with the beach boys. Old School Beach Boys. And if you do go out to dinner, for instance, you may have the restaurant to yourself just one or two people. Magic. So That's interesting. I mean, of course the you've lost the revenue, but you've regained your beaches as far as the locals go there was something in the news and I think you wrote about it about gun toting extremists who are wearing Hawaii shirts. It doesn't seem like the Aloha spirit to me what's Really thought it. Up in the news, there's one of these Gun Group extremists start showing up at the black lives, matter protests and other places. Instead of what they weren't Loescher it's Kinda create a sort of scary dissidence. Then people here reacted really strongly. Ensured is about Aloha Aloha is welcoming. It's inclusive. And it's actually something. I wrote an article about how Hawaiian shirts fight extremism. Hungary magazines. It's a love story about two sisters from Portland. Hawaii's eighteen twenty. Married South Asian immigrants helped create yellow her shirt industry. It's a beautiful beautiful story and it's that Louis Spirit that sort of loved that easygoing nece that caring for others. What a what a dissonance by these? What do they call? Boo Goo Boo Voice Blue Boys. Okay. Well I hope you have to handle and then we can read about that in your article and then very quickly what's open now if you are in Hawaii, museums, clubs, restaurants what's The dishes and Him after limited reopening had to close again. We hooked to get them back up in a couple of weeks neither good their little outdoor cafes and restaurants they've shifted to putting cafe tables out on the sidewalks and even the streets in some cases. So Madonna. Of Lua. And you know, thankfully, why is a very outdoor culture? So eating outdoors is. No big concession. So that lends itself to social distancing done. It's so great to have you on. We'll talk again soon I hope everything goes well with Hawaii and tourism, and your work there done Wallace's a contributing editor at Honolulu magazine. He's written the French house about buying a fixer upper on the island and Brittany and he's written articles about what's going on. In Hawaii these days

Police unions dig in as calls for reform grow
"States across the US are in their second straight week of protests over the killing of George Floyd by a police officer many hope to see police reform they have reached a current though and that's often the police unions to talk about the role of police unions and the power they hold over reforms we have Booker Hodges assistant commissioner at the Minnesota department of public safety and let's bring it round the lord a police union labor negotiator former police officer and the former president of a state wide police union in Texas run thank you so much for joining us well thanks for having me we're getting a lot of comments from the moment given example one listener tweets it seems all other unions are under attack but police unions only gets stronger what accounts for this and then Richard tweets the left is finally realizing public unions make it very difficult to remove crappy employees teacher police if you suck at your job you've got to find another job these these questions Rauner kind of centered around what makes police unions different I think and could you answer that for us to can we look back to the history of police used to get the answer well sure and I think the I always call it kind of the duck billed platypus of unions they're in a union but they don't look like other unions and there's a big reason for that because of the nineteen nineteen Boston police strike it pretty much wiped out unionization in America until really into the nineteen sixties they do said paternal so ninety eighty five ninety percent of all the police United States do not belong to the AFL-CIO they have one chartered union and it's a it's a small percentage so the police were late getting into the labor firefighters had an international in nineteen eighty S. all the public employee unions construction units you know that some of those are a hundred years old so police were late to the game they were used in many times as strike breakers and picket lines and so they didn't gravitate in there tend to be conservative by nature so their unions look different but they're still just working people their blue collar working people who form the groups who have become adept at using the American political system to increase our wages and pay in for job security so I'm not ashamed to be in a policeman or representing the police they can only do in a increase their strength or get their message out it's all illegitimate nature so different than people that are anti gun and pro gun you know free speech no free speech in America everyone has a right to speak out on things so well of concern to their members we got this tweet Booker from Tracey Wheeler and she mentions what Ron just said about the fraternal order of police Tracy says the police union's name the fraternal order of police is symbolic of the fact that it operates like an old boys club officers who speak up about bad cop behavior are ostracized in this culture and I want to put this book or in the context of what we heard earlier from you lie at the the Marshall project who was saying that often times African American cops don't want to join leadership because they don't want to be part of that culture yes so yeah I think there's there are some differences between African American officers on what offices regarding union membership I mean mia love the vast majority of my career I was in the union I was a union president you know so I didn't have some of those issues but a lot of the other people I know who are in other organizations did have issues regarding how that they didn't feel that the union represented them or didn't defend them as strongly as they did white officer so I I I'm fully aware that that issue does exist within the labor unions run it sounds like you wanted to respond to that as well well that issue exist in America so you could say I'm a seventy two year old white man who grew up in the south where our view the world may be different than a black person my age who grew up different but men and women officers have different views about things Hispanic officers have different views are Asian awesome so that's in it in and of itself but you have to say policing in America is eighty five percent means there's been no woman firefighter president that I'm aware of any part of union in America ever so so we look at it and then we say yes but they appear to be older white men yes but there haven't democratic elections welcome back officers in America only about twelve percent of the police no less maybe nineteen so that's wrong but the pollution is not hurting anybody the city hires the city provides room recruitment in six cities were even worse off when it comes to female officers their lesson about twelve percent of the police which is half the number of Canada Australia and other European countries so thank you in that profession is eighty five percent median and whatever sixty seventy percent white means that white men tend to gravitate up yes but lots of officers don't become involved in the

Doctor Chris Smith Speaking About Coronavirus
"The longer the covid nineteen lockdown goes on the more we learn about covid nineteen not least because being locked down like this. We don't have a great deal to do but ever expanding testing is teaching us about the spread of the virus will hopefully help us figure out how soon something like normality becomes a possibility he in the UK Health Secretary. Hancock has suggested that seventeen percent of Londoners may now have covid nineteen antibodies. I'm joined with more on this prime article. Twenty four health and science correspondent Dr. Chris Smith also a viral adjust at Cambridge University. Chris first of all that figure seventeen percent which suggests as I understand that seventeen percent of Londoners have been infected by cove nineteen to one extent or another. Does that sound like a plausible number? Yeah I think I think it does some countries and indeed some commentators in many countries hyping the number would be a bit higher. But Tha that does seem to twin with what we knew about the circulation of the agent. We New London was hot spots. We knew it took off their more than in other parts of the UK and this is also backed up by the that in the parts of the UK. This the Ciro positively right in other words. The number of people with antibodies against the new kind of ours is between five and seven percent so that does align with that so quite high circulation in London lower levels of circulation across the rest of the country but across the whole it means that the vast majority of people are not immune therefore only a small fraction of the countryside. Fall has actually called the new cry of ours. Is there anything we can infer from that figure in London? Not Merely about the level of infection but the the level of exposure what. I'm wondering is if you take a given Londoner for the sake of argument. Let's say it's Me Prior to lockdown traveling at least twice a day on Tube trains most of which were pretty crowded frequently being out and about in London which is a busy city speaking to. I don't know dozens of people a day as a journalist does is there any meaningful chance? I wouldn't have been exposed at some point. I it's very likely that you probably have encountered this. But he's whether or not you encountered any infectious dose of it because that's the key thing nodal viruses virus particles might equally and when a person is infected. They are producing from their body and all of their secretions of from the respiratory tract. So that's coughing sneezing just breathing droplets of moisture which virus particles in the they hope for in the for a period of time and it may well be that some of those virus particles that just stopped so although that virus particles and although they might have some genetic information in them they just might not go off like a dodgy firework you like them nothing happens so a person who breathes in some of those particles isn't guaranteed that will catch it so it's not a given if you're sharing it with someone who's infected. You're definitely going to get it. Because it depends how much they're actually issuing from their body into the that you then encounter but yes people in London had an above average Johnson counseling other people who were infected and therefore infectious and because of the high density working environment in London. The high density of traveling in London as a result of that the opportunity afforded to the virus to spread was higher which is why London took off soon took off foster and had high levels of virus. I've rule and I think part of this is probably a reflection on the London's also right next door to one of the world's busiest airports Heathrow which would have an she connected with the London. Transport system would perhaps have been a a conduit into the country with many cases arriving via that route every day. And then probably moving into the capital and helping to spread it if seventeen percent is not it yet is. I don't know whether this is a useful way to be thinking or not but is there. A number percentage at which a widespread lifting of lockdown measures starts to seem like a sensible way forward. Well if we're using how immune people all the immunity right in the population. Then we'd need to be up in the high tens of percent like sixty seventy percent of the population immune in order for this to have any kind of serious impact on the ability of the virus to spread because this whole notion of herd immunity. The word is unfortunately been misrepresented misunderstood by many people as meaning some kind of a strategy to allow people to catch the virus naturally into become immune as a country herd immunity just means that the vast majority of people are immune which means that there are so few susceptible individuals left in the mixture that the virus Kennel circulate. And so you protect the UNAMUNE few by the immunity of the many. That's what herd. Immunity means but in order for that to work. You need very high numbers of the population to be immune so when we vaccinate people against diseases like measles with the Mo. That's why we try to get to ninety five percent of the population because we know even when we get to ninety five percent the population. A handful of people just won't respond to the vaccine so that gives us a bit of safety margin and it means that a good. It to eighty five percents people are gonNA be reliably immune and that means the fifteen to twenty percent who not and this includes newborn babies every year just unlikely to encounter so unlikely to encounter someone who's actually got it that there's no transmission chain in the population that is potentially achievable for this new corona vars volunteer routes. Either we all catch it and we become immune and then new members of the population who bowl not yet an organic. Because there's no disease can eating or more tracks if we make a vaccine against this when we get the vaccine into everybody either way we arrive at a stay of heard immunity where this too few people who are susceptible in the population for the Vars to be able to maintain a transmission chain Christmas. Thank you as always. That was our health and science correspondent. Dr Chris

Trump claims he, not governors, has authority on opening state economies
"Donald trump just tweeted for the purpose of creating conflict and confusion some of the fake news media are saying that it is the governor's decision to open up the state's not that of the president the United States and the federal government let it be fully understood that this is incorrect no no that's not incorrect it is not the president's place out what I think what he's doing here is you notice he's not he's not flexing the muscle of the presidency to close down the country he's leading the governor's very close it down he's he's fighting now for the ability to open it back up because he thinks that governors are going to fight him democratic governors are going to fight him for political reasons I think that is just wrong and you know this is wrong but he hasn't been he hasn't taken that authority to close it down why is he taking that authority to open it back up because he thinks that these governors are going to you know some of these governors little one and in Virginia not willing to open up until the middle of June now maybe that's right but I doubt it yeah I know they are and I know they've closed now the schools in New York all the way toward I think G. June twenty six or something was the end of their school calendar in hand which is not a surprise in New York I mean it's gonna go on for a while there but I think Cuomo said something the effect of looking for closing the schools down that means we're closing everything down the economy's closed down until then so they're looking they are the most extreme part of this different case yeah that's a different that's a different case but you're right it's a big New York is New York yes it's gonna be it's gonna be different you know I I hope hopefully this is just a it seems like he's been holding on to this power for a while in this idea that it's kind of like threat almost ready saying if you don't handle this rationally I'm gonna step in I don't know that he has any power to step in in this situation you know certainly would be challenged and I don't know that it would be constitutional to say you have to be I don't know you overrule the states like that I don't know but he has the power to that he's obviously trying to claim it I don't know if he has I think one of the one of the best parts of the way he's handled this so far is that he's been restrained we were just praising him earlier in the show from for his restraint in trying to grapple sorts of national power hopefully he's not going down that road I don't know how you would do it you can order people to go back to work I don't even without the function of that would work you know you can say I guess you could try to threaten us a good state by saying don't punish people if they do go back to work but I don't know how you I mean I don't think our system would allow for none of this no no none of that would be checks and balances would kick in the president couldn't do that if the governor says Hey we're in a national emergency and the governor has the right their state emergency the governor has a right to declare a state emergency now that could screw with their federal funding you know but I don't think the president would do that unless it was really obvious like he's not gonna screw with the federal funding of New York why would you screw the federal funding of New York unless it was like you know we're keeping it close for the next eighteen months well okay really you're gonna keep the entire state of New York close for the next eighteen months and there are those people that are talking that way I don't think Cuomo is and I don't know any governors that are but I've heard people say you know we should be close for the next eighteen months you know we are talking about rolling blackouts for the next eighteen to twenty four and that might be why he's you know it might be if there's if Dallas all of a sudden starts to have really bad cases to close Dallas down for a little while everybody in this area stay in place you know that that's theirs I don't think there's anything wrong with rolling blackouts as long as we know what the metrics are yeah look there are certain situations that get too bad and you and you you have to do things though I just it's it's going to be interesting to see how long people can take that we keep using this eighteen months I mean you did the corona virus update there's no there's no definitive end of S. right like no not the the idea that we're gonna have a vaccine in twelve to eighteen months doctors are calling it a miracle they've never done it that fast ever they also told us very clearly that we're gonna have an HIV vaccine without all started up we never got one you know it another corona viruses the common cold you have exceeded that I know we don't these are not sure things that will ever get a vaccine I mean probably the better possibility which could provide a shorter term solution of this and is is it realistic that we can hopefully depend on would be a treatment right if one of these things like Haider hydroxy Cork what is obviously been the one talked about the most but there's lots of them there's been some positives about another one that trump is mentioned that I won't one of the anti viral things they had initially designed for HIV wound up being you know having some promising more these clinical studies as well all we need is to find something that will back it off from you know if you're in the hospital with a ten out of ten it can bring it back to an eight out of ten that's really all we need and that sort of thing I think with the with the full power of not only the United States N. you know capitalism and innovation all everybody trying to find the same thing it's really happening around the world as well I'm optimistic we'll get there eventually but it is a you know until we have that people are we can talk all we want about opening up the economy we is that if we look at these numbers like crazy all the numbers are coming out before any government bans were instituted and you saw fifty sixty seventy percent drop offs in traffic to restaurants because people didn't want to die right and until you can convince them they're not going to die it doesn't matter if you quote unquote open up the economy people don't want to go outside right now this is like you know you're not just government since doing this right you're you're gonna it's gonna take a massive and the best ad campaign of probably American history to get us to go back quickly to normal life going to restaurants going in the crowds having parties everything else it'll take a long time some people will do it but I think there's gonna be a lot of people that will stay out of the restaurants for a very very long time unless they they you know cut the you know cut the number of people in there by half or whatever and still then I'm not I don't know I'm not that comfortable I don't know you know I don't know all the people in there and I don't know who's sick and who's who's not say consider it set for a minute until you can come up with a vaccine that we won't be comfortable if you don't come up with a vaccine at least have some sort of way of understanding you've been tested and you don't currently have it or you have the antibodies when that happens then we'll start to normalize again but without those things it's not gonna be normal but we can open the economy back up more than it already is there is a great article on medium and and it was the I don't know six or seven reasons why we should open the economy first one we've already flattened the curve we've now gone from predictions of millions of deaths to hundreds of thousands and now we're predicting about sixty thousand deaths the next one is economic collapse and unemployment is destroying families this one is really really true we'll be lucky if the job losses are not twenty five million and to put that into perspective twenty five million is about the population of the great state of Texas and the great state of Texas is the size of half of the continental US and that's not I mean it's obvious going to be worse than that merry at sixteen it's it's the obviously going to be worse than so and that is that's only the ones that we're counting there are so many problems that come with unemployment the the the fact that you'll have suicides you'll have health problems you won't be able to see doctors as much all of these things that causes massive suicidal tendencies the next one we have not saturated the healthcare system in New York we came close but the rest is pretty good and the reason why we're having problems is because of PP is in and things like that if we can get the mask situation under control if you know we with the federal government ordered five hundred million masks if we can get the mask shortage under control and we can get all of the gallons and everything else that we need for the hospitals if we get the medicine that we need for the hospitals as long as we don't burn our doctors and patients out we we're doing good will be set for the next wave if we're not set for the next wave there is a problem we should be we should be working on that right now a suicide will kill almost as many people as covert aid this year and twenty eighteen there were forty eight thousand recorded suicides for but economic ruin results in a wide range of health problems suicide mental health issues loss of health insurance reluctance to visit doctors in light of the financial hardship increases in a in the substance abuse blah blah blah that is on top of the delay in nod to non covalent care SO forty eight thousand deaths in twenty eighteen how many suicides will it be this year the P. P. limited but now becoming more available and this one is the last point and I this is one I've been ringing the bell on from the beginning of this authority should show clear evidence regarding the benefits of indefinite lockdown we need to see what the parameters are what are you what are you looking for what are you looking at to make these decisions right now we know that the states have been looking at cove it now this this website that was started by a group of progressive activists who were leading a charge against Donald Trump most of the states were using that it's unbelievably flawed the numbers on cove it now are are way way way off children million dead in Texas alone ridiculous kinds of numbers the states were using that website to predict what was going on that stuff is got to stop we need to know what are the parameters what are you looking for in numbers what are the what are the things in the hospitals that you're looking for what what is the number of new infections that says okay we're probably pretty safe I'd like to have a discussion of those things in public I'd like to know what those things are that are open that are keeping us from opening or telling us we should open what are those things and are they saying are they rational and are they scientifically provable this is too big to go off of just somebody's got yeah no it's definitely true and and hopefully were at least a little bit past the top of this right I mean it the deaths dropped yesterday pretty significantly there's part of that is just record brick you know recording in that for whatever reason you know Sundays especially Easter Sunday there's you know people aren't working and don't necessarily read a report every single death if we can get past this week without two thousand over two thousand again because we've been over two thousand a couple times once or twice we get through this week without two thousand it may show that we are past the peak of this which would be really encouraging but really encouraging you know like the trade was great sample which are someone earlier from Detroit about how bad this was I mean Detroit is really in the middle of it New Orleans is in the middle of it there's several cities that are breaking out that I can be is as bad as New York obviously population wise but they are you know on the wrong side of this and it's increasing are getting worse in some cases so hopefully we can at least get past this peak and then week once we get past the like panic of this first moment there's going to be a touch of the period here coming I think to the end of the month where this sort of like organized hopefully rollout of people being able to go back and feeling that they're not going to you know get sick just by going out and doing the basic things they want to do with life hopefully that's

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Hits Highest Level in at least 3 Million Years
"In our science fact of the day this just in according to the world meteorological association no you know flaming left wing think tank the a this is the W. ammo the literally the world meteorological association atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide CO two are now at the highest ever in three million years now that is longer than human history human history only goes back a couple hundred thousand years so atmosphere CO two levels right now are higher than when Lucy was around right the the pre human and a higher than when Lucy's ancestors were around getting Lucy was only about a million or so ago all of which means that our children and grandchildren can expect temperatures to continue to rise more extreme weather more sea level rise more destruction to marine life more destruction of land based ecosystems more death of insects and and stuff at the bottom of the food chain which then echoes up so that the birds die and and we're saying this right now you know sixty seventy percent of certain kinds of birds particularly the insect insectivorous birds drawn from our planet we're looking at at at an insect apocalypse right now and and this is just the very beginning we have not yet even hit one point five degrees Celsius increase in temperature over the bass line and the pre industrial base line I mean we're just about there but we haven't quite hit it and the bottom line what what all these climate scientists are saying is is that we have to stop it right there I can't go any farther and yet what is the industry doing right now and and in on the right wing media that is that is supportive of industry while they're making fun of the stuff I mean Michael Mann for example the the the scientist he's been a guest on this program many times as a brilliant easy university of Pennsylvania sciences he's the guy who invented the cop the hockey stick conception of the SCO to going up that Al Gore popularized bed professor of cleans climate science or atmospheric science or whatever it is add to Penn state university one of probably a top five climate scientists in the world Michael Mann me was made fun of by the competitive interest enterprise institute in their blog ran Samberg wrote that well first of all they they attacked Michael Mann they said that his science was nonsense and and that is so Penn state did an investigation because there was all this ball Rollin publicity Penn state did an investigation what they found was that he was totally stand up everything he said was true and the way he said it was fine and though he published it was in compliance with scientific rigorous scientific standards reviews stuff so the compatible devices that is one of these right wing think tanks in quotes it really just a propaganda show operation for industry guy name brand Sandburg wrote that Penn state had quote covered up one two in by Michael Mann and characterize man as quote the Jerry Sandusky of climate science because he had quote molested and tortured data in service of politicized science and then not a blog posted by hosted by the National Review online the national reviews the magazine that William F. Buckley started back in the day when he was alive the saying that the you know the National Review is supporting segregation not just in South Africa but in the United States as well apartheid the National Review still around even though he is gone and they said in the end they oppose this was mark staying he said the man was behind the fraudulent climate change study in the investigation clearing him was a cover up basically and so Michael Landon Jr mattered factions from from the competitive enterprise institute see I am from National Review and instead they naturally you published an op ed by rich Lowry their editor titled get lost well so Matt Michael Mann suit and they just tried to get the lawsuit dismissed and here's the headline this is in the Washington post's Robert Barnes a climate scientists may pursue his definition lawsuit against a magazine in a Washington think tank after the Supreme Court on Monday declined to intervene at this stage of the litigation Sam Alito dissented Sam Mr craze right wing dissented but the the Supreme Court said not spread go ahead and so on it's absolutely amazing I mean this is this is so so here we are we've got more CO two in the atmosphere than at any time in the history of the human race or even the pre human race day in other holidays mmhm more and more CO two in the air our course it takes sometimes as much as a century to that for the CO two in a holding heat and to accumulate to the point where you really start seeing the effects we're already starting to and you've got industry trying to pretend that there's not and there's nothing to see here and making fun of it ridicule and the folks and I've got real scientists were starting to fight back and say no this is real stuff and then the world meteorological organization just comes out and says CO two levels higher than they've ever been
Squawk Pod
Merger Monday, Bloomberg's Bid, Holiday Movie Recs
"Good morning everybody. Welcome to Squawk box here on. CNBC we are live from the Nasdaq market site. In Times Square becky quick along with Joe Kernan and Andrew. Ross sorkin first step on this morning's pod a couple of updates on stories we've had our eyes on or IRS's on if you get your squawk through ear buds instead of on a screen. Remember in October when French luxury conglomerate. LVMH made a bid for New York's iconic jeweler tiffany. Well they up the bed the very shiny prize a big deal. This morning of the world's largest luxury goods company has now confirmed his reached a deal to buy tiffany. This has been quite at some time in the making the price tag this time. One hundred thirty five dollars per share in cash sixteen point two billion dollars total the largest ever in the luxury sector the boards both companies approving that deal yesterday afternoon and the transaction expected to close in the middle of next year will mark the end of Tiffany's one hundred eighty two year history as a standalone brand and a little blue box isn't changing but it does reflect the changes to remain independent amid increasing consolidation across retail and adding tiffany's Eddie Murphy to the portfolio will strengthen. LVMH's position forcing watches jewelry. The group acquired Gary and back in two thousand eleven eleven like Lvmh t LVMH T- LVMH. What if I would pay? How much would that cost the figure out to add a t not to do you think they should? I think they should add T. You think it's that important. Is that valuable important as those ugly back and look but what is amazing is that they did get him up. I mean this one hundred thirty five dollar price tag came up from one hundred twenty dollars recall when when this when when they first went after him and the question I think we threw out. There was whether they'd get one hundred thirty five bucks one hundred at forty. They didn't push back if you go back. And Look at tiffany stock even two or three years ago where it was relative to where it is today so I I mean the interesting stuff therefore therefore baby gifts like a little spoon. Yes in general. I don't know it's like super retail. I think Chinese people love in China. It's big and Chinese on these sorts of come here it's really be in the United States. Just me personally. I you know when you go to forty seventh street. I'm sure not. I mean I would rather go down there. forty-two the haggle. Well just don't pay absolute top dollar for for stuff that everybody else has and another deal. We've been following following Charles Schwab effort to buy. Td Ameritrade as of this morning. That's done to Charles. Schwab Corporation is going to be acquiring. Td Ameritrade this is a story. We we first reported last week. Td Ameritrade is now naming Stephen Boyle as the interim president president and CEO suspending their CEO. Search because obviously this will be taken care of with with this deal. Charles Schwab is offering issue is going to be issuing one point eight three seven shares for every td ameritrade share. That's out there We'll continue to keep an eye on says Charles Schwab saying that. Toronto Dominion Bank's going to be holding about thirteen percent of a stake in the combined company. You could see right now. Charles Schwab shares which ran up last week on. This news are right now down by about twenty two cents to forty seven ninety eight so maintaining basically the gains that they had seen last week on this when it was first announced. Td Ameritrade shares at this point indicated by about two point three percent. That's a gain of a dollar thirteen to forty nine twenty six again after they saw gains last week as well. Charles Schwab saying that they see this deal being fifteen to twenty percent of creative give to the adjusted earnings per share in the third year in the third year of this deal Schwab right. It's going to be called Schwab. This sounds sounds like a fun thing though analysts have looked at this and said because they both have very strong trading platforms. That you won't see as much of the accretion in terms at the probably both the Charles Schwab and td Ameritrade plan trading trading platforms operating. Because they don't overlap. There's some things the. TD AMERITRADE has like options for insurance little bit stronger. Charles Schwab has a lot of things like People who will talk to you and guide you through these things because of that the probably see some analysts analysts speculating around forty percent in terms of the accretion that they can kind of combine and put these together with those both platforms need to advertise separately swap box. Random House expected to be where you will see some of the. Oh no no no I got a double double down on both platforms. They say anything. But I close with this point break- fees and I don't know I. I have not seen that to me though the two issues. That will be interesting a break-up fee whether you interesting because you think out trust issue not so much on the consumer side but potentially For for all of the investment advisers out there really I mean I think collectively collectively they have like sixty seventy percent. Would you say this is that works serious antics three so they are two things there. There may be a look. Get that and so you you care about that issue. The other issue would be about deposits that that used to stay at. Td Bank so td Ameritrade used to run all their deposits. It's into Toronto. Dominion Inter Dominion. That was actually a huge fee generator for TV bank. And so once. If you take those out I assume Schwab is going to keep those Deposits in their own bank effectively. What that does to? TD LONG-TERM SO. These are some of the questions that I think at least in baking world. They're they're probably so but I don't know I'm GONNA. We'll look great deal. That's good news for holiday. Travelers gas prices down this quarter of the lumber survey the national average falling four cents cents to two dollars and sixty six cents per gallon drop is likely due to an increase in supply now that several refinery repair projects have been completed. Also a word of warning warning triple as saying Wednesday is the worst day of this holiday week to travel with trips taking as much as four times long four times two hundred percent longer due to congestion I in some weather issues. That could be a little more difficult Wednesday out of on the East Coast here starting in Colorado and coming across do you. ooh The minivan. Yes sir. What about it? Is there a a hybrid model that you can buy make hybrid models. That'll make a cool or no. Let's give it up for just wondering why you haven't truck Tesla. Yeah that's what I was saying. Why why aren't you? Just springing brings for something electric because you need a minivan supplements. There's no electric minivans or there's no My mic one. Now they're not cheap anymore. Ah Minivans by themselves this is unlike so like so many of you. That don't walk the walk when you talk about other stuff. The vacuum cleaner in the minivan is more important than

Focus on Fish Oil for ADHD
"McCaffrey so D- what topic for this week this week. We're talking about fish oil and its use in relieving the symptoms of Adhd. Oh that's interesting. Yeah so there have been studies. Oh there have been very many studies on this so it's actually pretty exciting yeah so ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and there used to be Add attention deficit disorder separate now. It's kind of been combined into one disorder the name of it and So and fish oil has been found on to be very helpful in this. Because you know this is a brain disorder in. It's a very complex brain disorder It's a neurological logical order disorder that the regions of the brain that help us plan and focus and be able to follow through on tasks and not get distracted. Did you know that that type of thing. So it's a it's a really fishy OI. The brain needs healthy fats to be able to function properly. So Oh and by the way our brain is made up of nearly sixty percent fat letting people don't realize that the brain and I mean everyone's seen pictures of a brain and And you can see that. It's kind of like almost like gelatin looking. You know it's it's got a lot of fat in it so sixty percent of the fats that's in it and what we've learned From Sciences that there are two specific types of fats that are the most crucial role for the functioning of the brain. And those are the types of fats that are found in fish oil So now interestingly enough you know in our modern modern diets we don't really get a lot of that type of fat in our diets. A lot of people are eating much fish Our bodies have the ability ability to create some of those kinds of fats on their own when we eat some plant foods but that conversion is really inefficient. We we don't we. We can't make enough of what our brain needs of those. So those two types of fats. I just wanted to mention the names is really important. fish oil contains pains two types of fatty acids and they're called Omega threes and They have some funny long names. So just a spell sounded to them out here The first one is called EIKO SUP. Penta inoke acid and the acronym is EPA. Okay and the other one is D- okosa Sahay Exa. NOX ACID and its acronym is Dha so EP A. N. D. H. A. R. The two types of Omega three fats. What's that are really important for the brain and have been shown to be very helpful in improving symptoms of ADHD? Okay so Now these these two fatty acids are They you know they have different ways that they work in the brain so there you know so we need both. Yeah we need. We need both so the The aid the EPA. They both play important roles so EPA influences our moods and and our behaviors it also reduces inflammation in the brain While DHA is involved with the development of the brain. It's it's involved in learning learning and memory and neurotransmitter production which is important for sending signals between cells of the brain. And that's what helps us to think. Clearly where we hope that we never stop learning so we hope right. It's all about yeah. It's all about our cognitive function as well. because these fatty acids have also been found to to be very crucial in preventing Alzheimer's perfect. So yeah so it's all about keeping our brain sharp and memory's sharp and our ability to focus focus so in. ADHD it's really interesting them. They have found that About children that are diagnosed with it. Have on average average thirty eight percent lower blood levels of these particular Omega. Three fatty acids and And they show more defiance hostility mood swings things and learning difficulties then children who don't have the disorder and has also been shown that sixty seventy percent of children with ADHD have a genetic variant that inhibits their body's ability to make this type member. Earlier I said we can make we can make some of them from plant. Foods like wheat flax seeds Chia seeds. That have a different kind of Omega three in them. Our body can curve convert some of that into this EPA and Dha type But some people have a genetic mutation that inhibits the enzyme. That makes that reaction happen so so In there and they found that's interesting. They found that sixty to seventy percent of children who have ADHD. Have the have that problem Like they can't make their own of it. So that's where official becomes extremely important like taking supplemental or eating fish. That has the Senate sure. Sure sure because they can't make make it on their own so they have to get it from food right. Yeah and that's that's really important so in light of those findings were were saying that you know. These fish oil supplements are really important Especially for children and there's different formulas now if you go to go on to You know into a store or on online to find a fish oil. You'RE GONNA find a lot of different Formulations of it because fish oil has found to be used in many different. You know it's tough for for many different things itself for heart disease. It's helpful for Anxiety it's how it's helpful for Adhd it's helpful for you know oh Depression there's a lot of other things so it's the Amount of the EPA H.. A. In each of these formulations that are different different. Some of them will have more. Dha 'cause it's more for the brain and some of them will have more EPA if it's more for reducing inflammation in the body. So what would you recommend I for for for. ADHD I recommend a A formula where the EPA and Dha are fairly similar similar amounts in there. They're not going to be Equal amounts he won't find that because that doesn't exist even in fish. Okay so but we will find They're very similar. Talk other like you might find one. That has six hundred and fifty milligrams of EPA and four hundred and fifty milligrams of Dha and so We have have a few That we picked that are on our websites a children's formula and then some that are more for adults. ADHD by the way it if if a child is diagnosed with it It can persist into adulthood usually the symptoms subside somewhat going into adulthood but adults still can have adhd which you know. It's it's all about being able to control. Oh your behaviors and your moods and not like you know have a meltdown in the middle of something public or whatever and you know and sometimes even adults have symptoms tombs of Adhd. Were there they blurt things out or they were you know they. They're not cognizant of the fact that they're not focusing or they're being disruptive so oh so this can help with adults well fish oil great. Yeah so we'll have A. We'll have an article actually about this and that article There will be some products. That you recommend so you would you would recommend the same product for anyone else is one for. Adhd like you know. Because I would want to take it for Alzheimer's like do take it regularly now and we do get the Nordic which is what you like. Ri- Nordic natural is a leader in a fish oil products. You know they do cod liver oil. They do fish oils. They they do They even do an algae oil which is algae he also has EPA DHA in it and so for people who are vegans. Oh they don't WanNa do a fish oil. They can do an algae oil. That's cool. Yeah yeah so that's really good and so- dosing is is also important like knowing how much to take and I find that with a lot of my clients. They're taking a fish oil but they only take one capsule a day. And that's not even enough. That's Kinda like a drop in the bucket. Kinda think you need to take you need to be taking at least two thousand milligrams total of Omega Threes Day so oftentimes the capsules may only have five hundred milligrams or one thousand milligrams grams each so. You have to be taking at least two thousand And that's that is. That is what the studies show is effective So and sometimes uh-huh even higher you know depending on what it

How Streaming Changed the Sound of Pop
"Exiling that has overtaken pop music in the last six months, which which one I feel like we're poppas of anxiety. So according to many the economics of streaming is changing music. So significantly right now that pop me literally never sound the same again. And today I want to investigate these claims by seeing how musicians are altering their sounds to make it in today's streaming economy and to do this. I've recruited Aishah Hassan, and Dan, cough who have written about how streaming is affecting the sound of pop for courts in a piece called the reason, why your favorite pop songs are getting shorter Asia. Dan the show. Yeah. Thanks nice to be here. This is exciting. Yes. Okay. So in the recent guardian interview mega pop producer. Mark Ronson said that all your songs have to be under three minutes and fifteen seconds because of people don't listen to them all the way to the end. End. They get into this ratio of non complete heard which sends your Spotify writing down and song writers are forced to churn out hits at short order. So I can you untangle Ranson's gripe and explain what is causing so much concern that many music streaming services work as that songs generate money per play. That means every time that there's streamed they generate a certain amount of money, and that's very little so it ranges between zero point zero zero four dollars to zero point zero zero eight dollars. And then if you don't play it to the very end that rating goes down, meaning that people don't listen to the song through as much then the song is less likely to make it into Spotify really lucrative playlists which them streamed more, and because the amount of money so little volume is really important. So this is obviously extremely different from how artists were paid in the past. Right. I think it's important to note that artists right now. According to a report. In two thousand seventeen they're only getting about ten percent of the music industry's total revenue, but streaming so important because that's how they're going to break out. Right. And they're not going to be heard by audiences then less people are going to buy their tickets for their concert. People are going to buy their merch so to be visible. It's really important to sometimes game the streaming system. So more people listen to their stuff. Okay. Gaming, this drinks. There's some sort of sort of perverse incentives going on here and just sort of get sort of order magnitude around this a CD used to cost fifteen to twenty dollars. And how many songs do you have to stream in order to make the equivalent on an old record so thousand streams quivalent of six dollars. So we're talking about fifteen hundred streams to get nine dollars. An and of course in artists probably is only making a fraction of those nine dollars. That's exactly right. The music services tend to take thirty percent of that revenues Spotify or alpha musical, whatever we'll take around thirty percent. And then even though you've got the rest of the money going to artists depending on the deal that they have a record labels and the amount of people who have contributed to the track that money, which is very little at the beginning is split up. Even more so artists are actually getting a very very small amount of money. Okay. So this is interesting. We have two different issues at hand. Now that we have to deal with one as you mentioned this question of our songs getting shorter and sort of why? And then also are there. Certain like time markers are boundaries that you have to fit within is that changing the way that perhaps people are writing music, and so let's take them in that order. So our songs are songs any shorter. Yes. Definitely. Around two thousand the median length of a billboard one hundred songs was well over four minutes about four minutes and seven seconds. And in two thousand eighteen it was just over three and a half minutes. So we've lopped off more than thirty seconds off the average billboard hot one hundred songs. So that's that. So Mark Ronson anxiety that that Charlie quote at the beginning of this episode is is perhaps warranted songs are getting shorter. Yes. And there's also these extreme example. So there are a bunch of songs now that are under two and a half minutes long. So in the two thousands there were virtually no songs under two and a half minutes that made the charts and in two thousand eighteen about six percent of them were less than two and a half minutes, and some even just two minutes, you documented this in your piece, and there's like a hockey stick graph basically starting in. I don't know like twenty fifteen twenty fifteen all the sudden there's all these songs that are now two and a half minutes or shorter you pointed to Connie west and little pumps. I love which comes in at just over two minutes. How correct. So the question of where's the music going curious in in your investigations how much? This is intertwined with the dominance of hip hop as the main form of today's popular music. So it's a coupla hated thing to answer because hip hop has seeped into all genre. So even when you listen to country as you've pointed out in previous shows country now has a hip hop effect. But if you look at every genre. They've all phone Rb rock country. All of them have taken a big dive over the last two decades wrap the most. So it's definitely the biggest phenomenon there. But it's not just a hip hop thing. So on the one hand, we have some different incentive structures set up and just to be clear about them. Minor sending we have songs are getting shorter. Because the way that you get paid with streaming is personal and it used to be since the I don't know the age of album oriented music that the Elbe was the main way that you made a major money. So now, if you're getting paid per song, it makes sense to have like twenty really short songs that might actually run shorter than an album length. That would be ten songs that are twice three times as long, and so you're you're gaming can I get as many songs in. It's possible. Is that is that an accurate description of how some people understanding this? I just want to complicate things a little bit. So yes, we are pretty confident that streaming matters. But this is actually a pretty long term trend. So if we look over the twentieth century, you'll see that songs were quite short in the forties and fifties. And then they got way longer through the latter half of the twentieth century and then starting around the late nineteen ninety s all the way up today, we see songs shortening. So it's definitely got to be more than just dreaming. But we're confident that sort of the effect that we're seeing over the last several years is a result of the desire to make more money from having shorter songs. And if somebody listens to an album repetitively, the artists will get more money, but there's definitely more going on there than just streaming. Okay. So Spotify actually put out a press release about this phenomenon and said that in the world of digital consumption are narrow windows of free time are the object of fierce competition by the seemingly limitless choices streaming platforms present short songs represent solution to an. Audiences abundance of choice alongside endless opportunities for diversion. So there's sort of a question of like our audience is also driving this perhaps. That's that's what they're suggesting. I think what we need to do though is examined the music and see is this really going on. And I'm particular interesting looking at like if psalms are getting shorter what's being put on the chopping block. And so we really established it hip hop is. Most dominant form of pop music right now, go on the billboard sixty seventy percent of the charts are going to be hip hop. And if you also look at the songs, which tend to be shorter, especially these sort of two minute, two and a half minute songs. Lotte hip hop lungs in there as well. And I think there's a there's a part of this which makes sense because in have you don't necessarily have as rigid structure of pop song. You don't necessarily have to have for example, a pre course or post chorus or bridge you can just have hook verse hook verse and you're out. And so when you look song like s and low pumps piece, they're doing exactly that. As you steal. I try. Sparkler one came out. Such a. Sick. Like the quick I'm a sick. Like, let's you to verse piece instead of you know, you go back to nineties hip hop. You might have had three four five versus a song. So it's easy to just you can chop it down make more songs that makes sense to me. I think we're things get more complicated. Are when songs are using sort of more traditional verse chorus song form. So if we look at song like he side that's on comes in two minutes and fifty four seconds, which is pretty short pops on and I wanted to look at where's the extra music going? So let's listen to Benny Blanco's east side. And we're gonna listen to just what happens at the end goal. They side.
Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia
Japan’s Economy Hit by Natural Disasters and Trade Frictions
"Very hard. You could see that, you know, by the fact that both investment spending and public spending actually took a nosedive in the quarter that we're turnaround because we know that corporate Japan is actually very aggressive in rebuilding their factories here in the local Japanese economy. Certainly that seems to be what a lot of analysts is saying that we will see that rebounding key full. But what about in terms of Japan becoming a direct target of the Trump administration's protectionist agenda? How could that affect economic growth? Oh, I mean, this is you know, the elephant in the room so to speak. You know, I mean, if there were to be God forbid, you know, direct targets on Japanese car and car parts companies that could be very devastating me. Just give you a data point here. You know that if you had a twenty five percent import tariffs on Japanese car exports to the US that would cut profits of Japanese car companies by almost fifty percent and would cut overall profits for the Japanese market by as much as thirteen percent. So, you know, the threat of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration looms, very large. So they are reportedly on hold now but away from the auto tariffs story. I'm wondering about the extent to which the US China. Trade war remains a threat to Japan, particularly where supply chains are concerned. Oh, this is so interesting because Japan is a bit of a canary in the coal mine is what Japan makes a lot of machinery a lot of robotics components. And when you look at the trade data, and you look if you order data for those companies, the robotics Japanese, the Japanese robotics companies orders over the last couple of months have plunged by sixty seventy percent, and that's exactly because of the uncertainty in the People's Republic of China, where Chinese businessman global business businessmen who run back threes in China. They are now putting

2018 Ryder Cup - The Stage is Set
"The stage is set in France, the historic rivalry USA trying to defend on foreign soil. It's Europe trying to reclaim it the ultimate must win. It's Paris tomorrow at two AM eastern on golf channel. The Ryder Cup continue Saturday at three eastern on NBC. Notably gay a former professional golfer now a golf analyst for NBC sports and the golf channel joins us. Now. Not how's the weather over there? It is absolutely perfect. And I mean about seventy degrees right now and just not much wind and pretty ideal conditions for golf. As far as trying to defend on foreign soil here in the US handicap the US team versus the European team. Well, it's a really strong team on paper. The average role rank is eleven and which is substantially better than the average rank of the European squad. But when you look at the venue, what viewers are going to see is a really tight, very tactical golf course. There were players are going to be hitting their teashops to a lot of the same places whether you're long hitter or a shorter hitter. And then it's just gonna be come down to who can who has who has the nerve and who can hit their iron shots closer and then make a few putts. So I think this year's Ryder Cup. You're going to see a lot more holes one with par because Dan, I was just out there. Walk on the golf course at rough is brutal. It's similar what we used to see the the old setup for US Open's. It's just deep. It's thick it's healthy. And unless you get lucky with a lie, you're not going to be able to make a play for the green. And the as far as the European team. Your is your favorite in this. Actually, you're Europe's the dog in they are. Yeah. It's interesting. Well, I think it's because it's been twenty five years since the United States has been able to win the Ryder Cup on foreign soil. The last time was at the belfry in nineteen Ninety-three. So we have very little success here, and no one can really pinpoint why because typically we come in with much stronger teams as far as worldwide wins world rank any sort of metric that you want to evaluate to determine quality of a team the US is typically better, but they just seem to have chemistry. They get the momentum. They make the big pots, and you know, if you get a two point lead in this thing, that's a huge deficit to have to overcome. And they've they've managed to do it a lot better than we have at least in in continental Europe. How big is the Tiger Woods story factor over there in Paris. It's huge. I mean, you you should know the crowds just to follow me on the practice round. It's you know, he probably get sixty seventy percent of of the fans around his group. And then the rest kind of dispersed around the other groups, it's just it's amazing. I mean, the resurgence of Tiger Woods and him winning again. After such a battle off. The course injuries come back the whole thing. It's just kind of injected golf with this huge boost of energy, and you can feel it over here. And you know, he's energized his team, and he's kind of bringing that sort of tiger factor. Tiger intimidation. Back to the golf course
