Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from The Ministry of Evangelism
"Welcome to the Heart for God podcast. With many years of experience pastoring and helping to start churches, Dr. Jim Townsley has some practical and biblical advice that can be a great help to you and your ministry. On this podcast, Dr. Townsley and other guests with special expertise cover a variety of topics. His goal is to help you lead your church to be a healthy, strong, and balanced ministry, and for your family to be happy, healthy, and living for the Lord. Welcome to the podcast today. I'm glad that you joined us. I have with me here Brother Matt Barber, and he is an evangelist. He's been at our church since Sunday. This is now Wednesday, so he's had several opportunities to speak to us and preach the Word of God. Matt, it's good to have you with us this morning. Good to be here. It's a pleasure. So I want you to just say a little bit about your background, who you are, your family, what God has called you to do, and where you were before. Well, I was raised in a pastor's home. I had great opportunities to hear the gospel. I got saved as a child. When I was 16, the Lord finally got a hold of my heart, and I surrendered to him, and that's when I felt called to preach. I went on to Bible college. I went to Baptist College of Ministry up in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, back in the early days of the college there, and that's where I met my wife. So a lot of good things happened in those days. And then our first ministry was in Woodridge, Illinois, where I went there as an assistant pastor. So that's in the Chicago area? Yep, that's right, southwest suburbs of Chicago. And within six months, I found myself the pastor of the church, and we stayed there for 13 years. And you have family? Yes, sir. Yep. So my wife, Chelsea, and then we have five children, and so the Lord's blessed us richly. And the years at Woodridge were wonderful. We learned a lot. The church grew. It had been through a lot, and we were kind of in a re -establishing, rebuilding phase at the church. And then in 2018 and 2019, I began to feel the Lord stirring my heart towards evangelism, and that's where I felt called originally. And by 2021, the Lord finally gave us the green light, and we stepped out by faith. And so we've been traveling full -time now the last two years. So stepping out by faith is no small exaggeration, because for an evangelist, to get started, people don't know you, they don't know your name. So how does that all come about? How do you end up getting meetings? Well, that's a good question. When I first announced it to our church, they were shocked that we were moving on, but I felt that the church was ready for another hand at the till, so to speak. The church was established, and I guess they thought that I was going out into evangelism by popular demand, and that was not the case. I didn't have anything on the schedule, and I was just trusting the Lord. I expected to be working full -time or part -time as we got meetings lined up, but God and His mercy just allowed the meetings to come in. And they didn't come in all at once, but the Lord stayed ahead of us by three or four weeks or a month or two, and He just filled up our year. We found ourselves traveling two or three weeks a month, plus Sundays and Wednesdays here and there, different places that first year. This second year has been a lot more busy. We spent the whole summer just packed all the way through. We're out west and got to see some beautiful country. But the best thing is we've been seeing God's blessing and seeing God just confirm the step of faith with meetings and with fruit. Dr. Darrell Bock So you're traveling with your family. So you've got a pole -behind trailer, and you've got seven people in that thing. How do you live in that? David Jones Well, you know, the Lord already provided the Ford Excursion. That's right. It's a 2002 Excursion. It's the gas kind, the gas guzzler, but we already had the Excursion, and when the Lord was stirring us up to go, of course, the first question is, can we do this? And the first thought is, no, we can't do this. This is impossible. But then we began to look into it, and we found some pole -behind travel trailer options that would work for our family. In fact, we only found one option big enough that I could actually haul with our truck. And so it's got several slide -outs, and it has a lot of roomy space for the kids to sleep. I say roomy in relative terms, but it works for us. It's tight, but we've been doing fine the last couple of years. Dr. Darrell Bock So you've been a pastor. Now you're traveling as an evangelist. There's got to be a pretty good perspective you have. What is the difference in what are some of the things that people might be interested in, the difference between being a pastor and being on the road as an evangelist? David Jones Well, there's some stark differences, and I guess just going back to the root of it is there are two different gifts in the Bible. We have them listed in Ephesians, Chapter 4. Of course, you have the foundational gifts of the apostles and prophets. Those are no more because the foundation has been laid. But then it goes on to mention evangelists and then pastors and teachers, and I think pastor -teacher is kind of the one idea of pastoring and teaching a flock. So what is the evangelist? Well, if you think about it in the order of events, before you have a church, you have to have gospel preaching so people can be saved so you can have a church, right? So evangelist, an the word evangelist comes from the word evangel or gospel. So an evangelist preaches the gospel, but all of us do that, right? But it's a special gifting that focuses on the gospel. So as an evangelist, I think God gives a special desire, burden, boldness, or even I think also clarity in preaching the gospel so that people can understand. And that's not something to boast of, it's just something that God begins to reveal what your strengths are, what his giftings are. So evangelism is a pioneering gift. Oftentimes evangelists will plant churches, but that's not always the case. My older brother Nathan is a pastor. He planted a church. He would not call himself an evangelist, but he planted a church. So God can use different gifts for different things. I was an evangelist, but I was pastoring for 13 years. But the whole time, I knew I was an evangelist who was trying really hard to be a pastor. It's hard to explain that, but I knew that. But I'm thankful for that background so I could understand the ins and outs of being a pastor and how a church works. But an evangelist is a pioneering gift. You lay the foundation. But an evangelist can also be a restorative gift. I think of Paul. Obviously Paul was an apostle, but if you look at the way he traveled, he was trailblazing. And that's not something just an apostle can do. There were others who did that. In fact, when Paul and Barnabas split up, Barnabas took Mark, and he went off in a different direction doing the same thing that Paul was doing. So there were many who were traveling around in an itinerant way, preaching and laying new foundations through church planting. But then Paul continuously came back and had a desire to circle back and establish and strengthen the churches that he had been a part of. Well, that's itinerant work. I think in America we see a lot of the typical evangelist who travels itinerantly, preaches revival meetings. But that's not unfounded. There's a basis for that in Scripture. I just think the evangelist is more than a revival man. An evangelist can plant churches. An evangelist can go to the mission field. But I think there is a desire in evangelists to not only plant or lay a foundation, but then to be used of God to establish or to even bring an outside perspective that can help a church. And the pastor is there day in, day out. God uses that outside perspective and that special outside gifting to complement the pastor and to help the church grow. Dr. Darrell Bock So what would you say your goal is? As you go from church to church, what is your purpose and goal? What do you feel you want to accomplish by doing that? Dr. Mark Bock Well, a lot of evangelists focus on the word revival, and that's a good word. It's actually more of an Old Testament word, although we see the concept in the New Testament as well. But basically the way I look at it is churches need to thrive and new churches need to be started. My role in that would be to preach the gospel so folks can be saved. But then if I'm going back through established churches, then my goal is to see churches restored, revived to a place where they can grow again. And obviously individuals in that church being, to use another word, quickened. David talked about that. He says, quicken thou me according to thy word. And I think the evangelist can be used of the Lord to have God's power to open eyes, to quicken, to revitalize a church so they can grow. Not that he brings revival with him. Not that he has anything better than the pastor has. But it's a different gifting that complements the work of the pastor. Dr. Darrell Bock So a different train of thought here. From the perspective of a pastor, having an evangelist come into your church, how can a pastor best prepare to have an evangelist come, and how can he take care of him while he is there? Well, I mean, going back to Ephesians 4, they're called the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the church, right? So the pastor, I think people see that clearly, the pastor is a gift to a church. If you have a pastor, you have a gift. God has gifted and blessed your church. But I think sometimes pastors forget that the evangelist is also a gift to the church. And there are many pastors now who aren't having evangelists for various reasons. And I would say they're robbing their church from a gift that God wants to give them. Not because the evangelist is so special, because it's a gift God designed for the health of the church. So knowing, seeing it as a gift that God has established, make room for it, you know, promote it.

Atlantic, slow down a little bit yesterday, yeah, now, five miles an hour, yeah, back to the speed, it's picked up another five, uh -oh, but it is supposed to kind of turn it back into the Atlantic, right, until they throw the spaghetti on the wall, we really don't know, yeah, we don't know, I wish they'd throw some meatballs into that spaghetti, but the speed they said is back to 160, yesterday was from 160, that's crazy, so we are back from, you know, two days ago, so, doesn't know what it's doing, I think it's like driving with your wife, you know, it's just like, have you ever drove with your ex -wife when she said something, both of them, did she ever upset you and, and, you know, this is, you never drove like that, I tried to make sure that she never drove, I learned that in the army, right, when we, when you were out of the bunker, yeah, hold on, let me just give you another Iron Curtain story, they're the, they're the, my favorite of the day now, so, uh, we were, hold on, we were probably in the army for two weeks, you know, very fresh, you still don't know what, everything smells different, you still don't know what's going on, you know, they cut your hair, you have no hair, just look like a little, like, you know, freshly born, the little dog baby, yeah, and you just, you stick the head out of the bed, it goes like, what is today, you know, you just have no idea, so every day there was a surprise, so two weeks in, they just like, uh, you know, sound the alarm, everybody full gear, and they loaded us in this, uh, you know, very sophisticated army vehicles, you know, yeah, that has absolutely, absolutely no, uh, springs or any type of, you know, uh, no shock absorbers raining, no, no suspension, so you feel little stones on, on everything, so we're going in the road, and, uh, of course, you know, the, in the cabin, there were three seats only, and, uh, you know, the older soldiers, now we're gonna sit in the, in the, on the back, which we called pig house, you know, we call it pig house, like when you're transferring pigs to slaughterhouse, that's where you put them, that's where you guys were going, so the Russian front, so you're sitting, right, so you're sitting, uh, on a bench, very, like, a very nicely cushioned bench, which was jested from piece of wood, and you have all the gear on you, right, heavy, and now imagine you're sitting, uh, on a side, uh, towards front, so you don't, you don't sit, like, in the bus, like, facing front, right, right, you're sitting on the side, so we get out of the army base, and that soldier, that older soldier, no exactly, because they did same thing to him, when he was there, yeah, but he experienced it, and I learned it, and I later on did it to my ex -wife, she really liked that, you know, you hazed your own ex -wife, I was giving her the army special, you know, just the treatment, all the time, so she did something wrong, I just, so, so what he did, all the soldiers, like, he pressed the pedal, like, to the ground, right, the truck, it takes, like, maybe half a second to pick up, right, the speed, so just, like, move forward, and then he let it go, and press the brake, and just stop, and he did it, like, maybe 15, 20 times, some guys start puking, because they couldn't, like, you're sitting side to side, right, and you're hitting each other with this heavy gear, you got car sickness, yeah, yeah, so, you know, that's what, uh, I did to my ex -wife, oh, you're horrible, so when she was, you know, just, uh, the, you know, I'm, I'm, wouldn't it have been just better to be, do it my way, just don't let her drive, no, I was driving my ex -wife, when she was telling her where to go, and what to do, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised the airbag didn't explode, oh my gosh, you know, she was really close with the face to the dashboard, it's not better than my friend from England, you know, what he did to his ex -wife, no, well, she started, I think, she got upset one day, because he forgot they had the tickets to the theater, and he came, uh, you know, what do you call it, uh, socially tired, he came from this, uh, place called restaurant, you know, after work, he worked for socially gathering, yeah, and he came home socially tired, right, yeah, so, uh, he didn't want to go to the theater, he went to social gathering, he didn't want to go, he was tired, I don't want to go anywhere, well, after a few beers, he got really tired, right, so he came home, yeah, she started yelling at him that they have to go, and they have to take shower and everything, and he's, you know, kind of like, I'm not going, and all this, so, right, he said it was so much fire in the house, that he had to dress himself, and all these things, and then when he was opening the door for her to get, uh, you know, seated in the car, he slammed the door when her hand was still between the doors, did he do it on purpose, oh my god, I guess we're staying home, so he saw her hand still holding when she was getting in the car, still telling him stuff, so he just shut the door, said we end up in the ER, I told her I don't want to go to the theater, oh, I'm surprised he didn't push her back in the car and say drive yourself to the emergency room, but yes, call me when you're, so next time, get all fixed up, when your wife is telling you stuff in the car, you just pretend you're in the army, press the pedal, gas, brake, gas, brake, and if that doesn't work, slam her hand in the door, that's the treatment, uh, but that would be the, that would be definitely, that'd be the extreme, yeah, well we're getting to our segment, which is our favorite segment of, uh, I'm thinking of it, it is my favorite segment, what do you call it, uh, decades, yeah, it is, it's of the century, maybe, we've been doing this for five years, but we just started this segment last week, but I love it for five years, I do too, I love this segment for whole five years, yeah, because it is what it is, and what is this segment, we know everything that the guy who knows everything doesn't know, so there you go, that's right, and if we, if we don't know it, we'll, we'll give the answer later, yeah, we will know it, there will be time, eventually, yeah, yeah, we will get to know it, because we're, we're on the mission on, on the know, it, I love I do too, yeah, so the idea is just to bring the news around the town, the Southwest Florida, what's going on, so you, your life is a little bit more educated, so you know, these days, there are fact checkers, and all kind of different things that are providing us from finding out what really is happening, so that's why Matt and I are dedicated, we eat cake over here, drink coffee, get fed, we have little doors, so I mean, this is, there's a situation we may not gonna get out of the studio one day, but for now, we, we are able to exit, so you know, if you're listening, you may be smarter, because, yeah, because you get all kinds of information, yeah, I mean, can I give you a couple, a little bit of information you got over a couple of decades? 1960, Yeah, oil is gone in 10 years, let me give you another one, 1970s was the ice age in 10 years, so we're gonna, that kind of didn't happen, 1980s, acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years, what's the deal with 10 years, the 90s, the ozone layer will be gone in 10 years, what year is it right now, Rich? Did it start already? I guess, and then 2000 ice caps will be gone in 10 years, so when that started, that started in 2000, well, I think, I think Al Gore need to come back and explain that to us, so what we want to do is give you news that you can use in 10 years, oh, I love it, yeah, so let me just start with this, interesting fact that happened in Ecolier County and commissioners, they actually, I guess, start thinking, you know, what to do and how to, how to, maybe they use the crystal ball, how to plan the future here, yeah, maybe, and we've been preaching this for a while, we were always saying, yes, we were, Diva and Aprils, you know, we want to bring communities together because whatever, it's gonna be day, and it's not far, but federal government is gonna be thinking, we don't have much money left, what we're gonna do and how we're gonna distribute it, maybe we're just gonna skip some of the states and states gonna say, hey, we didn't get money, so some of the counties, and this is how it's gonna go, and counties to the cities and so on and so forth, so, all the way down to the local government, you have to realize that one day you're gonna have to be your own doctor, your own, you know, lawyer, and your own gardener, and your own everything, so let's just start practicing this, let's be independent, it's like our own community, and we're coming up with solutions, our own solutions as a community and coming together, and that's what we're all about, building community, and budgets obviously are a big part of that, and we live in Collier County, I believe the greatest county in all of Florida, that's my own opinion, but now you're gonna share some information about what's going on, I mean, we have some serious issues that we're gonna have to deal with, and this, let me say this, and we get there, okay, there's two things that could happen, you either gotta cut budgets to balance the budget, or you need to raise taxes to pay for that stuff, and we can do both, you can do both, but the real thing would be is to take an assessment and find out what we really need, what programs, where we can realistically cut the budget, and the federal government is in debt, we're all in debt, and they're gonna have to finally come to grips that you just can't spend yourself into wealth, and they're gonna have to make cuts, and the way they're gonna make cuts is doing exactly what you said, they're gonna cut their funds to the states and say, you guys are now responsible for that, and where are we gonna make up the shortcomings on that, is two things like you said both, either we're gonna cut the budgets, or we're gonna raise taxes, and as citizens, and people in the community, we should be involved in that discussion, because it's gonna affect every single person one way or the other, you may be somebody that relies on some of these programs that the county's gonna start talking about, you know, the budgets, and maybe cutting, and that type of stuff, so that's why we come here and tell you, hey, be educated, we're letting you know, they're coming up with this commission meeting to start talking about the budget, and this one's gonna involve cut, and they discuss that in accounting, what they're gonna be cutting, how they're gonna be cutting, which is smarter way to do it, because they still have time, right, so I think, you know, we're going a good direction, exactly, and here we are, Diwai Naples, we would like to educate you and everybody else, instead of cutting budgets, and you know, raising taxes, why we don't just spend a little bit more money with our local businesses, because we keep them, keep them in business, and today, you know, actually yesterday, Friday, seasonal week, or in our case, two weeks of restaurant dining, for $29, $39, and $49, depends what restaurant you go to, it's available to you, so you will support our local businesses, we'll keep people employed, you know, keep the money here in our community, local taxes going into the coffer, we don't have to raise the taxes, because we just naturally, stimulating the economy, that's what it is, that's exactly right, and you brought, that's the key point right there, so if we learn this right now, we don't have to worry about it later, right, and you know, we're gonna go as far as a school district has enough money to, you know, still have teachers, and have kids in the school safe, and learning the right things, and EMS being available to come to your house quickly, because they have a full tank of gas, proper funding, yeah, proper funding, so keep this in mind, because I think it's very important, and I'm really excited that our leaders in the county are taking initiatives, and they start already, you know, this conversation, because they can, they can see the devil on the wall, yeah, the handwriting's on the wall, baby, because that's coming, no matter what, and it's the day of reckoning, they call it, and we have a lot of programs that we are preparing, one of them is, for example, Divine Naples Club, that will be just for residents of Collier County, and once you prove your residence, there's gonna be a lot of benefits you're gonna be getting, so we wanna, you know, we're gonna participate in it, we're gonna be somehow leaders into this movement as well, so you know, just keep eye on our profile, social media, website, and on EARS on this podcast, we will bring everything to your ears, yes, so that's what I have to say about community budget, you know, budgeting, and being a community, we have 23 websites in 18 languages, so you can find a lot of information that we are passionately putting together, now, that would be the most serious stone, right, and now, since it's Saturday, and you're stuffing your face, I think we should, what else is new, yeah, we should stick to food, yeah, yeah, that's, why not, yeah, that's what everybody does this weekend, right, everybody's out, you know, dining, finding dining, they only ask two crazy people, you know, sitting here, well, we're finding a way to do it here, yeah, that's true, right, we always find a way, we do, so we don't left, where there's a will, there's a way, there's no left behind, even if we call in for takeout, so I just, you know, I have nine food dishes, signature food dishes, they are so symbolic for Florida, you have ideas, oh yeah, let me start with this, I'm gonna name them, and you give me an idea of what you think about it, okay, how about this, all right, key lime pie, oh, that is a signature of Florida, and it is probably my favorite tart dish, the key lime pie is so tart, and I just love the way it's made, and there's such a different variety, different, you can get that just about at any restaurant in southwest Florida, you know, I mean, it's a staple, bro, that's the dessert of the state, right, that, I mean, that's true, and you know what's interesting about this, this was invented in Key West, in the beginning of 19th century, before even a refrigerator was invented, what did they put in it to keep it, I mean, I'm just saying, you know, the key ingredients is pie to sweetened condensed milk, yeah, so, you know, that's just like a pickled, sugar, doesn't have to be refrigerated, yeah, exactly, yeah, just so you know, if you need to, sugar sausages, it's delicious, it's delicious, gator tails, how about that, I do, but actually, I like them better in what are called gator nuggets, or gator balls, and I like them in smaller pieces, and the way I like it, I mean, some make it and saute it and do other ways, but I like it fried, there's nothing like fried gator, and I dip my gator nuggets or balls in barbecue sauce, it's my favorite, and it is a staple, again, in Florida, it's tradition, oh, I think there's been a tradition forever, since Indians, they made them, fried them, they may just ate them differently, no, they did, they've ate it, like, I'm sure that he, he didn't have alligator sushi, did you, did you live with Indians, so, you know, no, I don't know, okay, so, you don't know, I don't know, but I want to know, because we're supposed to know everything, I know, I mean, you, you pretend, like, you know, right, but maybe they do it, like, we do marshmallows, maybe they put it on a stick and roast it over the fire, that's exactly how you would do it, with sausage, yeah, let me just correct you, I mean, you always pretend, like, you know, but I'm here to make you look like you don't know, but I know, right, yeah, and to make me look, you know, like, like, you don't know, I don't know, you're right, yeah, so, Indians were always doing it, but these days, it's kind of hard to access, or get access to this food, because it's only during the open hunting season, and people that hunt for alligators need to have a license, so it's a little bit more sophisticated, but they, from the tail, there's the pieces on the top of the tail that are used for this, you know, this delicatessen, and it's only during the certain, you know, months of the year, so unless you freeze it, then you're probably gonna have it fresh, exactly, in some of the places and restaurants, there's not many of them around, but it tastes like a chicken, yeah, everything tastes like chicken, although I never say that, because gator tastes like gator to me, yeah, well, it tastes like chicken, all right, everything tastes like cabbage, do you know what that is? No, and it's, I just learned today, so we're in the know, why don't you share that with me? It's called Heart of Palm, and it's been eaten for hundreds of years, the leaves of the branches of the palm were used to construction ever, historically known for being part of the many early folks, in fact, one group of early Americans was able to repel British army attacks because of really, yeah, so part of the palm that used for construction, they also eat and they make, you know, oh, that's right, it's, they have it in cans, right? Yeah, yeah, so that's, that's, you know, the palm is all around us, we just don't know which one it is, I know, and that's just, you know, I guess back to Indians, yeah, game, there you go, conch fritters, oh, I love crunk fritters, and those things are fried also, did you know what they call that? Escargot of Florida, that's right, because the actual meat is actually a snail, most people probably wouldn't eat it if they'd known that, but usually it's chopped up and put in a fritter, a batter and fried, it's delicious, you ever had it? I don't think so, because I don't eat seafood, I don't play the balls, and I don't watch TV, would you like me to bring it so you can try it one time, it's more like a hush puppy, let me bring it, you can have it, okay, no, I don't, I don't eat seafood, well I love them, and whenever I have a go to a restaurant that has them, I try to make that my appetizer, the dish originates from Bahamas, but it's, it transfers to the kivas, that's where it starts, you know, spreading north from there, so it just gives you an idea, fried green tomatoes, oh I love it, you ever seen that movie, no, which movie, it's a movie, fried green tomatoes, but anyway, they're delicious, you ever had those, you don't like fried food, no, I don't eat much, you eat fried chicken though, well the chicken tenders, you eat fried chicken too, not much, if I bring fried chicken here to you, you're gonna eat it, I'm gonna get you Popeyes, I don't think I've ever had it, yeah, well I think I'll bring you some Popeyes, you might like it, I'm not a big Kentucky fried chicken fan, well we're gonna talk about it today, remind me, okay, yeah, all right, when we're gonna go into the national days, something important you need to know, okay, public subs, that's really interesting, yeah, you know what, I really like their bread, because bread is a sandwich, and we are, we were able to even make better sandwich with our ciabatta bread, oh yeah, and we're getting, we're getting actually, reviews, I mean a lot of people just love our sandwiches, because the ciabatta bread comes out crispy, so crispy, and we balanced all these flavors, you know, we have, strategically, yeah, we have mustards, we have tomato, greens, pickles, European pickles, meat, cheese on the sandwich, I mean, you know, we just balanced it so nicely, the sandwich from Publix is good, but it's just, I think, too big, and also, you know, there's just a lot of bread in it, right, and our sandwich is not that much bread, but it's more crispier, so it's more like a baguette, crispier type of thing, and I just love our ciabatta, I love the little charred bit a bit on it, it's just, the flavor is great, yeah, well, then we invite people, oysters, yep, and then we have a lot of oyster bars around here, Pelican Larry's is known for it, I'm not a big raw oyster fan, I like them fried, and I like them on bread, yeah, well, a sandwich, a poor boy, somebody just posted something on the social media, how they were trying to eat oysters, and they see these little maggots coming through it, after they put lemon on it, I never had oysters, I don't like them, so if you are going for oysters, be careful, make sure you don't get it because they are raw, so it could be a lot of parasites and a lot of bacteria, so just be careful, you know, it could be a problem. Strawberry shortcake, yes, well, what do you tell me? I love it, you don't like it? I like it, I like the cake, it's usually a shortbread cake, little round circle, some people make them scratch, you can buy them in grocery stores, and you just cut up your strawberries, you can add a little syrup to it if you like, to make it a little sweeter, I like to just have mine fresh with the strawberry juice, and then whipped cream, now I would love to have your special German whipped cream on one of those, and a little touch for me is to sprinkle a little bit of nuts on top of it, that's my own personal way of doing strawberry shortcake, but I love it. Great idea, but you know what, it's really interesting to know that strawberry shortcake came from Florida, and it's from town that is called Plant City, and it's the smallest town in Helzberg County, about 15 minutes from Tampa, and they produce 15 % of the strawberries sold in the United States.

Yeah, we're headed towards, you know, seasonal weather, it's getting lower and lower, I mean, it's still pretty hot, my friend, during the day, but that's gonna start cooling down, well, that's gonna be so nice, just open windows and then we also see that that hurricane is out there, still, but they said it slowed down a little bit and so they're hoping that it's just gonna curve back up into the Atlantic, slow down a little bit yesterday, yeah, now, five miles an hour, yeah, back to the speed, it's picked up another five, uh -oh, but it is supposed to kind of turn it back into the Atlantic, right, until they throw the spaghetti on the wall, we really don't know, yeah, we don't know, I wish they'd throw some meatballs into that spaghetti, but the speed they said is back to 160, yesterday was from 160, that's crazy, so we are back from, you know, two days ago, so, doesn't know what it's doing, I think it's like driving with your wife, you know, it's just like, have you ever drove with your ex -wife when she said something, both of them, did she ever upset you and, and, you know, this is, you never drove like that, I tried to make sure that she never drove, I learned that in the army, right, when we, when you were out of the bunker, yeah, hold on, let me just give you another Iron Curtain story, they're the, they're the, my favorite of the day now, so, uh, we were, hold on, we were probably in the army for two weeks, you know, very fresh, you still don't know what, everything smells different, you still don't know what's going on, you know, they cut your hair, you have no hair, just look like a little, like, you know, freshly born, the little dog baby, yeah, and you just, you stick the head out of the bed, it goes like, what is today, you know, you just have no idea, so every day there was a surprise, so two weeks in, they just like, uh, you know, sound the alarm, everybody full gear, and they loaded us in this, uh, you know, very sophisticated army vehicles, you know, yeah, that has absolutely, absolutely no, uh, springs or any type of, you know, uh, no shock absorbers raining, no, no suspension, so you feel little stones on, on everything, so we're going in the road, and, uh, of course, you know, the, in the cabin, there were three seats only, and, uh, you know, the older soldiers, now we're gonna sit in the, in the, on the back, which we called pig house, you know, we call it pig house, like when you're transferring pigs to slaughterhouse, that's where you put them, that's where you guys were going, so the Russian front, so you're sitting, right, so you're sitting, uh, on a bench, very, like, a very nicely cushioned bench, which was jested from piece of wood, and you have all the gear on you, right, heavy, and now imagine you're sitting, uh, on a side, uh, towards front, so you don't, you don't sit, like, in the bus, like, facing front, right, right, you're sitting on the side, so we get out of the army base, and that soldier, that older soldier, no exactly, because they did same thing to him, when he was there, yeah, but he experienced it, and I learned it, and I later on did it to my ex -wife, she really liked that, you know, you hazed your own ex -wife, I was giving her the army special, you know, just the treatment, all the time, so she did something wrong, I just, so, so what he did, all the soldiers, like, he pressed the pedal, like, to the ground, right, the truck, it takes, like, maybe half a second to pick up, right, the speed, so just, like, move forward, and then he let it go, and press the brake, and just stop, and he did it, like, maybe 15, 20 times, some guys start puking, because they couldn't, like, you're sitting side to side, right, and you're hitting each other with this heavy gear, you got car sickness, yeah, yeah, so, you know, that's what, uh, I did to my ex -wife, oh, you're horrible, so when she was, you know, just, uh, the, you know, I'm, I'm, wouldn't it have been just better to be, do it my way, just don't let her drive, no, I was driving my ex -wife, when she was telling her where to go, and what to do, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised the airbag didn't explode, oh my gosh, you know, she was really close with the face to the dashboard, it's not better than my friend from England, you know, what he did to his ex -wife, no, well, she started, I think, she got upset one day, because he forgot they had the tickets to the theater, and he came, uh, you know, what do you call it, uh, socially tired, he came from this, uh, place called restaurant, you know, after work, he worked for socially gathering, yeah, and he came home socially tired, right, yeah, so, uh, he didn't want to go to the theater, he went to social gathering, he didn't want to go, he was tired, I don't want to go anywhere, well, after a few beers, he got really tired, right, so he came home, yeah, she started yelling at him that they have to go, and they have to take shower and everything, and he's, you know, kind of like, I'm not going, and all this, so, right, he said it was so much fire in the house, that he had to dress himself, and all these things, and then when he was opening the door for her to get, uh, you know, seated in the car, he slammed the door when her hand was still between the doors, did he do it on purpose, oh my god, I guess we're staying home, so he saw her hand still holding when she was getting in the car, still telling him stuff, so he just shut the door, said we end up in the ER, I told her I don't want to go to the theater, oh, I'm surprised he didn't push her back in the car and say drive yourself to the emergency room, but yes, call me when you're, so next time, get all fixed up, when your wife is telling you stuff in the car, you just pretend you're in the army, press the pedal, gas, brake, gas, brake, and if that doesn't work, slam her hand in the door, that's the treatment, uh, but that would be the, that would be definitely, that'd be the extreme, yeah, well we're getting to our segment, which is our favorite segment of, uh, I'm thinking of it, it is my favorite segment, what do you call it, uh, decades, yeah, it is, it's of the century, maybe, we've been doing this for five years, but we just started this segment last week, but I love it for five years, I do too, I love this segment for whole five years, yeah, because it is what it is, and what is this segment, we know everything that the guy who knows everything doesn't know, so there you go, that's right, and if we, if we don't know it, we'll, we'll give the answer later, yeah, we will know it, there will be time, eventually, yeah, yeah, we will get to know it, because we're, we're on the mission on, on the know, it, I love I do too, yeah, so the idea is just to bring the news around the town, the Southwest Florida, what's going on, so you, your life is a little bit more educated, so you know, these days, there are fact checkers, and all kind of different things that are providing us from finding out what really is happening, so that's why Matt and I are dedicated, we eat cake over here, drink coffee, get fed, we have little doors, so I mean, this is, there's a situation we may not gonna get out of the studio one day, but for now, we, we are able to exit, so you know, if you're listening, you may be smarter, because, yeah, because you get all kinds of information, yeah, I mean, can I give you a couple, a little bit of information you got over a couple of decades? 1960, Yeah, oil is gone in 10 years, let me give you another one, 1970s was the ice age in 10 years, so we're gonna, that kind of didn't happen, 1980s, acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years, what's the deal with 10 years, the 90s, the ozone layer will be gone in 10 years, what year is it right now, Rich? Did it start already? I guess, and then 2000 ice caps will be gone in 10 years, so when that started, that started in 2000, well, I think, I think Al Gore need to come back and explain that to us, so what we want to do is give you news that you can use in 10 years, oh, I love it, yeah, so let me just start with this, interesting fact that happened in Ecolier County and commissioners, they actually, I guess, start thinking, you know, what to do and how to, how to, maybe they use the crystal ball, how to plan the future here, yeah, maybe, and we've been preaching this for a while, we were always saying, yes, we were, Diva and Aprils, you know, we want to bring communities together because whatever, it's gonna be day, and it's not far, but federal government is gonna be thinking, we don't have much money left, what we're gonna do and how we're gonna distribute it, maybe we're just gonna skip some of the states and states gonna say, hey, we didn't get money, so some of the counties, and this is how it's gonna go, and counties to the cities and so on and so forth, so, all the way down to the local government, you have to realize that one day you're gonna have to be your own doctor, your own, you know, lawyer, and your own gardener, and your own everything, so let's just start practicing this, let's be independent, it's like our own community, and we're coming up with solutions, our own solutions as a community and coming together, and that's what we're all about, building community, and budgets obviously are a big part of that, and we live in Collier County, I believe the greatest county in all of Florida, that's my own opinion, but now you're gonna share some information about what's going on, I mean, we have some serious issues that we're gonna have to deal with, and this, let me say this, and we get there, okay, there's two things that could happen, you either gotta cut budgets to balance the budget, or you need to raise taxes to pay for that stuff, and we can do both, you can do both, but the real thing would be is to take an assessment and find out what we really need, what programs, where we can realistically cut the budget, and the federal government is in debt, we're all in debt, and they're gonna have to finally come to grips that you just can't spend yourself into wealth, and they're gonna have to make cuts, and the way they're gonna make cuts is doing exactly what you said, they're gonna cut their funds to the states and say, you guys are now responsible for that, and where are we gonna make up the shortcomings on that, is two things like you said both, either we're gonna cut the budgets, or we're gonna raise taxes, and as citizens, and people in the community, we should be involved in that discussion, because it's gonna affect every single person one way or the other, you may be somebody that relies on some of these programs that the county's gonna start talking about, you know, the budgets, and maybe cutting, and that type of stuff, so that's why we come here and tell you, hey, be educated, we're letting you know, they're coming up with this commission meeting to start talking about the budget, and this one's gonna involve cut, and they discuss that in accounting, what they're gonna be cutting, how they're gonna be cutting, which is smarter way to do it, because they still have time, right, so I think, you know, we're going a good direction, exactly, and here we are, Diwai Naples, we would like to educate you and everybody else, instead of cutting budgets, and you know, raising taxes, why we don't just spend a little bit more money with our local businesses, because we keep them, keep them in business, and today, you know, actually yesterday, Friday, seasonal week, or in our case, two weeks of restaurant dining, for $29, $39, and $49, depends what restaurant you go to, it's available to you, so you will support our local businesses, we'll keep people employed, you know, keep the money here in our community, local taxes going into the coffer, we don't have to raise the taxes, because we just naturally, stimulating the economy, that's what it is, that's exactly right, and you brought, that's the key point right there, so if we learn this right now, we don't have to worry about it later, right, and you know, we're gonna go as far as a school district has enough money to, you know, still have teachers, and have kids in the school safe, and learning the right things, and EMS being available to come to your house quickly, because they have a full tank of gas, proper funding, yeah, proper funding, so keep this in mind, because I think it's very important, and I'm really excited that our leaders in the county are taking initiatives, and they start already, you know, this conversation, because they can, they can see the devil on the wall, yeah, the handwriting's on the wall, baby, because that's coming, no matter what, and it's the day of reckoning, they call it, and we have a lot of programs that we are preparing, one of them is, for example, Divine Naples Club, that will be just for residents of Collier County, and once you prove your residence, there's gonna be a lot of benefits you're gonna be getting, so we wanna, you know, we're gonna participate in it, we're gonna be somehow leaders into this movement as well, so you know, just keep eye on our profile, social media, website, and on EARS on this podcast, we will bring everything to your ears, yes, so that's what I have to say about community budget, you know, budgeting, and being a community, we have 23 websites in 18 languages, so you can find a lot of information that we are passionately putting together, now, that would be the most serious stone, right, and now, since it's Saturday, and you're stuffing your face, I think we should, what else is new, yeah, we should stick to food, yeah, yeah, that's, why not, yeah, that's what everybody does this weekend, right, everybody's out, you know, dining, finding dining, they only ask two crazy people, you know, sitting here, well, we're finding a way to do it here, yeah, that's true, right, we always find a way, we do, so we don't left, where there's a will, there's a way, there's no left behind, even if we call in for takeout, so I just, you know, I have nine food dishes, signature food dishes, they are so symbolic for Florida, you have ideas, oh yeah, let me start with this, I'm gonna name them, and you give me an idea of what you think about it, okay, how about this, all right, key lime pie, oh, that is a signature of Florida, and it is probably my favorite tart dish, the key lime pie is so tart, and I just love the way it's made, and there's such a different variety, different, you can get that just about at any restaurant in southwest Florida, you know, I mean, it's a staple, bro, that's the dessert of the state, right, that, I mean, that's true, and you know what's interesting about this, this was invented in Key West, in the beginning of 19th century, before even a refrigerator was invented, what did they put in it to keep it, I mean, I'm just saying, you know, the key ingredients is pie to sweetened condensed milk, yeah, so, you know, that's just like a pickled, sugar, doesn't have to be refrigerated, yeah, exactly, yeah, just so you know, if you need to, sugar sausages, it's delicious, it's delicious, gator tails, how about that, I do, but actually, I like them better in what are called gator nuggets, or gator balls, and I like them in smaller pieces, and the way I like it, I mean, some make it and saute it and do other ways, but I like it fried, there's nothing like fried gator, and I dip my gator nuggets or balls in barbecue sauce, it's my favorite, and it is a staple, again, in Florida, it's tradition, oh, I think there's been a tradition forever, since Indians, they made them, fried them, they may just ate them differently, no, they did, they've ate it, like, I'm sure that he, he didn't have alligator sushi, did you, did you live with Indians, so, you know, no, I don't know, okay, so, you don't know, I don't know, but I want to know, because we're supposed to know everything, I know, I mean, you, you pretend, like, you know, right, but maybe they do it, like, we do marshmallows, maybe they put it on a stick and roast it over the fire, that's exactly how you would do it, with sausage, yeah, let me just correct you, I mean, you always pretend, like, you know, but I'm here to make you look like you don't know, but I know, right, yeah, and to make me look, you know, like, like, you don't know, I don't know, you're right, yeah, so, Indians were always doing it, but these days, it's kind of hard to access, or get access to this food, because it's only during the open hunting season, and people that hunt for alligators need to have a license, so it's a little bit more sophisticated, but they, from the tail, there's the pieces on the top of the tail that are used for this, you know, this delicatessen, and it's only during the certain, you know, months of the year, so unless you freeze it, then you're probably gonna have it fresh, exactly, in some of the places and restaurants, there's not many of them around, but it tastes like a chicken, yeah, everything tastes like chicken, although I never say that, because gator tastes like gator to me, yeah, well, it tastes like chicken, all right, everything tastes like cabbage, do you know what that is? No, and it's, I just learned today, so we're in the know, why don't you share that with me? It's called Heart of Palm, and it's been eaten for hundreds of years, the leaves of the branches of the palm were used to construction ever, historically known for being part of the many early folks, in fact, one group of early Americans was able to repel British army attacks because of really, yeah, so part of the palm that used for construction, they also eat and they make, you know, oh, that's right, it's, they have it in cans, right? Yeah, yeah, so that's, that's, you know, the palm is all around us, we just don't know which one it is, I know, and that's just, you know, I guess back to Indians, yeah, game, there you go, conch fritters, oh, I love crunk fritters, and those things are fried also, did you know what they call that? Escargot of Florida, that's right, because the actual meat is actually a snail, most people probably wouldn't eat it if they'd known that, but usually it's chopped up and put in a fritter, a batter and fried, it's delicious, you ever had it? I don't think so, because I don't eat seafood, I don't play the balls, and I don't watch TV, would you like me to bring it so you can try it one time, it's more like a hush puppy, let me bring it, you can have it, okay, no, I don't, I don't eat seafood, well I love them, and whenever I have a go to a restaurant that has them, I try to make that my appetizer, the dish originates from Bahamas, but it's, it transfers to the kivas, that's where it starts, you know, spreading north from there, so it just gives you an idea, fried green tomatoes, oh I love it, you ever seen that movie, no, which movie, it's a movie, fried green tomatoes, but anyway, they're delicious, you ever had those, you don't like fried food, no, I don't eat much, you eat fried chicken though, well the chicken tenders, you eat fried chicken too, not much, if I bring fried chicken here to you, you're gonna eat it, I'm gonna get you Popeyes, I don't think I've ever had it, yeah, well I think I'll bring you some Popeyes, you might like it, I'm not a big Kentucky fried chicken fan, well we're gonna talk about it today, remind me, okay, yeah, all right, when we're gonna go into the national days, something important you need to know, okay, public subs, that's really interesting, yeah, you know what, I really like their bread, because bread is a sandwich, and we are, we were able to even make better sandwich with our ciabatta bread, oh yeah, and we're getting, we're getting actually, reviews, I mean a lot of people just love our sandwiches, because the ciabatta bread comes out crispy, so crispy, and we balanced all these flavors, you know, we have, strategically, yeah, we have mustards, we have tomato, greens, pickles, European pickles, meat, cheese on the sandwich, I mean, you know, we just balanced it so nicely, the sandwich from Publix is good, but it's just, I think, too big, and also, you know, there's just a lot of bread in it, right, and our sandwich is not that much bread, but it's more crispier, so it's more like a baguette, crispier type of thing, and I just love our ciabatta, I love the little charred bit a bit on it, it's just, the flavor is great, yeah, well, then we invite people, oysters, yep, and then we have a lot of oyster bars around here, Pelican Larry's is known for it, I'm not a big raw oyster fan, I like them fried, and I like them on bread, yeah, well, a sandwich, a poor boy, somebody just posted something on the social media, how they were trying to eat oysters, and they see these little maggots coming through it, after they put lemon on it, I never had oysters, I don't like them, so if you are going for oysters, be careful, make sure you don't get it because they are raw, so it could be a lot of parasites and a lot of bacteria, so just be careful, you know, it could be a problem. Strawberry shortcake, yes, well, what do you tell me? I love it, you don't like it? I like it, I like the cake, it's usually a shortbread cake, little round circle, some people make them scratch, you can buy them in grocery stores, and you just cut up your strawberries, you can add a little syrup to it if you like, to make it a little sweeter, I like to just have mine fresh with the strawberry juice, and then whipped cream, now I would love to have your special German whipped cream on one of those, and a little touch for me is to sprinkle a little bit of nuts on top of it, that's my own personal way of doing strawberry shortcake, but I love it. Great idea, but you know what, it's really interesting to know that strawberry shortcake came from Florida, and it's from town that is called Plant City, and it's the smallest town in Helzberg County, about 15 minutes from Tampa, and they produce 15 % of the strawberries sold in the United States.

So there's not that much Argumentation there and then why can't we get together and talk about you know from a local perspective? who we have in offices and commissions and all that to To get people to put in the right policies that make business run smoother more efficient more environmentally sound and these types of things but doesn't you know throw a Wrench a monkey wrench into the engine, you know Simplify things and and get things expedited so that people could work and buy things and get along with their life That's what a kind of politics I want to be involved in. Yeah, does that sound good to you? Okay, I'll take it and I will add to it. What is good for a community is a humor, right? Yeah, yes to make fun of everything you can because that apparently Extend a life span it does and we're talking itself month. So, you know, hopefully we're making you smile I just oh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna just hit play on these two morons Did you just call me that I called us that well don't know I just did I just insult morons Speaking the health I have to share something with everybody here.

You may see him on a beach or somewhere else But if you have the chance to get in his hands for any type of care It's unbelievable you come to the hospital This is this is how I expect if I have to go to hospital or anybody has to go to hospital This is how I expected my experience in some of the hospital here in locally in Naples Never been good. Okay, I have to say that and for many reasons, but this Hospital is top -notch you arrive people smiling on you. You know, the check -in is very smooth They never make you feel nervous or you should be nervous or somehow make you feel like, you know, something is going on especially when This goes about kids So, you know, there's so much that you think of and the kids, you know in an unknown space is it's a hospital So maybe some of them never been there and then you go through all this process checking out before surgeries and everything else absolutely top -notch Every single person from the greeters on the door to the people that will direct you and and the you know Tell you what's gonna happen you receiving throughout a surgery you receiving text messages.

Southern California is preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Hillary, which is now a Category two storm. Officials in the region say they are working hand in hand with FEMA as the storm approaches and the National Guard has been called in. Hillary will hit Southern California and the rest of the Southwest as a tropical storm probably early Sunday. The White House says President Biden is getting constant updates and is working with Governor Newsom. A storm of this magnitude has not made landfall in Southern California since 1939. Forecasters warn it's likely to cause catastrophic and life threatening flooding over the region and the southwestern U .S. through Monday. Former President Trump is reportedly planning to skip the upcoming Republican debate and instead will be interviewed by Tucker Carlson. The debate hosted by the Republican National Committee will air Wednesday in Fox News. The New York Times says Trump, the GOP front runner, has an interview lined up that same night with Carlson. Trump previously signaled he might not take part in the debate as polls show him holding a huge lead over his 2024 GOP rivals. The suspect in the murders of four University of Idaho students is fighting evidence from prosecutors. Brad Siegel has more. In a hearing Friday, defense attorneys for Brian Koberger had witnesses testify about DNA evidence and genealogy testing. Detectives use genealogy tracing to identify Koberger as a suspect in the murders.

The Pentagon is deploying 700 personnel and 140 Coast Guard responders to fight the wildfires still raging in Maui. On Friday, U .S. defense officials pledged to continue their efforts in combating wildfires until they're fully extinguished.

Broadcasting 24 hours a day at Bloomberg .com and the Bloomberg Business Act. This is Bloomberg Radio. It's no mystery that consumer is strong. It's very clear that consumers are beginning to slow their activity. At the end of the day, this is all about the labor market. I think there is enough support from the labor market to prevent the U .S. consumer from completely rolling over. Eventually consumers will come to the realization that things are a lot more expensive. This is Bloomberg Surveillance with Tom Kean, Jonathan Farrow and Lisa Abramowitz. I love Bob Dole. That quote there, eventually, that was like eventually six, nine months ago and we're still sitting here and saying eventually the consumer will weaken. Live from New York City this morning. Good morning, good morning for you all. This is Bloomberg Surveillance on TV and radio alongside Lisa Abramowitz. I'm Jonathan Farrow. Your equity market right now unchanged on the S &P 500. Lisa eventually will see some weakness in the U .S. consumer. This seems to be the mantra and now increasingly I think there is a new feeling in markets that maybe eventually isn't going to come unless there is some sort of break in the labor market and that I think is the tension that you feel in the bond market right now with yields up so significantly on the long end. Earnings season. Are we starting to see signs of it just a little bit? We've talked about the airlines a few times, JetBlue, Southwest, the domestic players. Are we starting to see signs that maybe the domestic demand is starting to tail off just a bit? It depends where you look because you see certain companies that have serious pricing power. You think of Coca -Cola and Pepsi and clearly people are willing to pay for shrinkflation and whatever else, but other places not so much.

$500, that's right, so, use them, I'm exhausted every single time I do this, yeah, well, take a deep breath there, big boy, yeah, I know, you're much bigger, you're much bigger than I, don't worry about it, you're taking more real estate here in the studio than I, you breathe more than I, I told you so many times, take a break, you're breathing all the time, I've got so much breath going in and out, I don't know which one's more powerful, the one that you going out, my hair is moving, sometimes it comes in the batches of sausage, onion and some other, sometimes you can hear me approaching from a block away, can't you, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, do you feel the energy sometimes though, without even anything being said, yeah, but I don't want to say I feel it because then you will feel powerful, yeah, I'm not powerful, I just go around and wherever I go, I make my presence, that's you, you do a very good job at that, yeah, you know and built they tsunami alarm system in Naples now, yeah, maybe they need, what do you call those things that could be out in the water, breakers that stop waves from coming in, yeah, what do they call those things, I don't know, they call those things breakers, the army engineers build things like that to keep, you know, storm surges coming in or whatever, you know what, you think Naples needs one of those for me, yes they do, we know more things than that, I know so much that I forget what I know, okay, alright, so keep that in mind, let me ask you a question, well I'm just going to let you continue with some of the information you have, I don't know if you have something on the menu or something you want to share, well I have a lot of information, okay, yeah, because it's Saturday, I'm full of information because I'm what, because you're a genius, that's correct, thank you, you also interviewed, and you know that I'm just joshing around, I love you to death, I just want to push your buttons before I take off and enjoy my Saturday, well what are you going to do, I don't know, because tomorrow I Sabbath, so maybe I'm going to Sabbath take a day off before I Sabbath, well I work tomorrow, I work every day, I work 28 hours a day, and I'm going to try to teach you how to, yeah I forgot, you have your own calendar and how that's right, you defy time and space, exactly right, it has to be mathematically able to calculate the, sure it sounds like, what do you call it, the thing, the curve, I'm thinking that you're just being like a lot of our educators and then coming up with a new math, no, 2 plus 2 is 5, listen I learned it from the guy, what is his name, I don't know he's got a name though, Fauci, he said we have to get behind the curve, 2 weeks, I learned about curves in baseball, you throw a curve, no I learned it because he said 2 weeks and it is 3 years and still not behind the curve, that's alright, yeah we can't get that time back though so let's just move forward right, I'm moving forward but I'm learning from the past I and just want to say even people look at their lives or whatever and maybe it's been messy from time to time and you've made mistakes or whatever and you know what, you can't do anything and turn around and change it but you can learn from it and so just learn from any mistakes or things that you've done and just move forward, we just want to be positive here at divinenapels .com and the whole purpose of this show and just the whole organization and everything we've got going is to build community and to see people live a healthy and happier life and primarily we focus on small businesses because small business is actually the life of a community and it makes things happen and every dollar that you spend here at a local business, 70 % of that dollar or 70 cents and maybe plus or and that makes us economically vibrant and so we want to be here to lift everybody up so we like to joke around and all that stuff and we want to be entertaining but we really want you to know that we have a genuine heart for your well being and with that I'll turn it over before I get chastised for talking too much, no I'm just enjoying that, it sounds so intelligent you almost sometimes look like genius, well I've told you many times before that I'm only half as stupid as I look, yeah I agree with that, on Saturdays and the other day is more than half, well why don't you get to share, I want to continue what he said, I think it's very important for people to understand that they are not here by themselves and we have to work together on everything we're doing here in this community and we have to help each other and we've always been doing it and the perfect example was when we got flooded with waters and so much support we got from our own community and people donated and helped and came and we had police department, they brought us food, dinner every night because we had no electricity, we had no way to heat up anything, there was no food, nothing, refrigerator was, you know we lost so much money in the freezer and all our equipment and we used to feed them when Fauci virus hit and they didn't have nowhere to go, we were here open for them, we never shut down the business, we were here for first responders and we said it many times in our podcast, how does it work, so you can kind of replay and refresh your memory but the time when you need it and then they turn back and says we didn't this is what community is about and I tell you what, there were moments when the tears were pushed really deep back in the head because you know when you see losing almost everything that we have and collected four businesses in one building, it was a great idea, I didn't want to get skinny so that's why we put all the businesses in a building because I didn't want to run around too much and then we got flooded and everything was lost and you see friends and you see people that came and helped and you know they've been there for us and I think it's just wonderful when we realize that the community is here even in bad times and if somebody is busy and forget about it, you know just stop, take it 15, we again explain what 15 means and what you should be doing because here we are, divaenapels .com, building community, if you know anyone who has a story, if you know anyone who has a passion that for the running business, you know somebody who has been around for a while, know the old stories about Naples and how it used to be the life and everything, please let them know, send them email, send us email or send them our link and send us email at info at divaenapels .com or you know DM that means direct message on any social media, we would love to invite those people to our studio or on the phone, we will figure out how to you know connect with them, we'll make it happen and just record forever the stories right and share them with the whole world, so that's the whole idea why we're doing this, nevertheless we have 23 websites we can tell you about on Monday, yeah and what I want to just reflect on that real quick, real short is the reaping and sewing process and because you reaped and sewed into their lives and provided a community and substance and food and things for them during a hard time, when it hit you, they reciprocated and came and helped you and so we kind of want to just you know give off that vibe and promote that type of vibe with everybody, treat people the way you would like to be treated and I think we'd see a lot of change you know in ourselves individually, in our families, in our business, in our communities and let's just see Naples lead the way and all of Southwest Florida, it's that simple, there you go, that just what are we doing and what are you listening here, it's just one of our beginnings, we have so many things ready for you that you will never get rid of Divine Naples, yeah and divineapals .com is here to stay, we've been here for 13 years, yeah so let me continue what we have normally in the program and that is we introduce one of our meals every single time that we do podcasts, sometimes we forget, but we created menu during the beginnings that every meal has a story and a lot of them you know were created because people couldn't travel so we want to make them feel like they're sitting somewhere in Europe in different city enjoying the meal and you know just want to wouldn't them to just feel like they don't have to spend two thousand dollars for ticket and they feel like traveling and going home in their own bed, yeah so here is our meal that is breakfast and it's really interesting platter with the egg that is cut in the top, you dig it out, you know out of the shell, yeah out of the shell, when was the last time you had that, I have it, your grandma, yeah, yeah that is like what, my mother did it for me a couple 55 years ago, soft -boiled eggs, but this I didn't ever get the chance to do the hard -boiled type, I like it, was it 55 years ago, maybe 70.

here open for them, we never shut down the business, we were here for first responders and we said it many times in our podcast, how does it work, so you can kind of replay and refresh your memory but the time when you need it and then they turn back and says we didn't this is what community is about and I tell you what, there were moments when the tears were pushed really deep back in the head because you know when you see losing almost everything that we have and collected four businesses in one building, it was a great idea, I didn't want to get skinny so that's why we put all the businesses in a building because I didn't want to run around too much and then we got flooded and everything was lost and you see friends and you see people that came and helped and you know they've been there for us and I think it's just wonderful when we realize that the community is here even in bad times and if somebody is busy and forget about it, you know just stop, take it 15, we again explain what 15 means and what you should be doing because here we are, divaenapels .com, building community, if you know anyone who has a story, if you know anyone who has a passion that for the running business, you know somebody who has been around for a while, know the old stories about Naples and how it used to be the life and everything, please let them know, send them email, send us email or send them our link and send us email at info at divaenapels .com or you know DM that means direct message on any social media, we would love to invite those people to our studio or on the phone, we will figure out how to you know connect with them, we'll make it happen and just record forever the stories right and share them with the whole world, so that's the whole idea why we're doing this, nevertheless we have 23 websites we can tell you about on Monday, yeah and what I want to just reflect on that real quick, real short is the reaping and sewing process and because you reaped and sewed into their lives and provided a community and substance and food and things for them during a hard time, when it hit you, they reciprocated and came and helped you and so we kind of want to just you know give off that vibe and promote that type of vibe with everybody, treat people the way you would like to be treated and I think we'd see a lot of change you know in ourselves individually, in our families, in our business, in our communities and let's just see Naples lead the way and all of Southwest Florida, it's that simple, there you go, that just what are we doing and what are you listening here, it's just one of our beginnings, we have so many things ready for you that you will never get rid of Divine Naples, yeah and divineapals .com is here to stay, we've been here for 13 years, yeah so let me continue what we have normally in the program and that is we introduce one of our meals every single time that we do podcasts, sometimes we forget, but we created menu during the beginnings that every meal has a story and a lot of them you know were created because people couldn't travel so we want to make them feel like they're sitting somewhere in Europe in different city enjoying the meal and you know just want to wouldn't them to just feel like they don't have to spend two thousand dollars for ticket and they feel like traveling and going home in their own bed, yeah so here is our meal that is breakfast and it's really interesting platter with the egg that is cut in the top, you dig it out, you know out of the shell, yeah out of the shell, when was the last time you had that, I have it, your grandma, yeah, yeah that is like what, my mother did it for me a couple 55 years ago, soft -boiled eggs, but this I didn't ever get the chance to do the hard -boiled type, I like it, was it 55 years ago, maybe 70.

Hawaii is issued an emergency proclamation through August 31st following this week's deadly wildfires in Maui. And officials are pleading with tourists to cancel unnecessary travel to the island. Airlines are already warning customers that the wildfires could affect travel to, from, and through the island. Airlines, including Delta, Southwest, and United are offering travel waivers or options to either reschedule or cancel flights to the island. With the resort town of Lahaina being destroyed by a brush fire, this man went to the ocean to escape the flames. So there was no real route to go north or south or towards the mountains. The only escape once the thing swooped in was to get in the water. Governor Josh Greene says the fire has left thousands homeless and destroyed up to 1 ,000 buildings. Some say officials gave the evacuation order too late, but Greene says the fire grew out of control very quickly. I would never blame or disparage anyone during these kind of moments of tragedy. Everyone did their very best to try to rescue people. In time, we'll look at all of these things and continue to try to improve.

A highlight from Precision liquid cooling lowers costs by 40%, dramatically reduces data centers environmental impact, Iceotope Podcast
"This is Doug Green and I'm the publisher of Telecom Reseller and I'm very pleased to have with us today Dr. Kelly Mullick who is with iStope. Kelly, thank you for joining us today. Thank you for having me. Well first of all, congratulations on your appointment. You're the Vice President of Technology Advancement and Alliances at iStope and we're going to be talking about that new position and also we're going to get into what you guys do and how you solve problems. But quickly, what is iStope? So thanks for the question. So iStope is a company based in and headquartered in Sheffield, the UK, Sheffield, England and we are the designers for precision liquid cooling which is a type of differentiated liquid cooling in the market and we're able to show with our technology up to 40 % reduction in total operating expenses in the data center. So we think this is really important for the market today. Now Kelly, before we dive into this a little bit further, when you say liquid cooling, what does that mean? Help me understand what that means. Yeah so liquid cooling essentially means the cooling mechanism is with liquid so like a fluid so like you know think water or oil or some something that has a fluid composition as opposed to traditionally most cooling done in the data center is done with air so think like large scale air conditioning units. And by the way, as we just mentioned your new appointment, this matches very perfectly with your educational and professional background. You are in fact a rocket scientist. Well technically yes. My background is extensive in chemical engineering but I did study at the Ohio State University with a very great scientist. Her name is Dr. Barbara Wieschlozel and we studied you know the thesis of my PhD was around fluid flow and supersonic nozzles. So you know as in space but here with especially the growth of AI with 5G and a lot of the other challenges our readers are facing you know how why does cooling now matter more than ever? Well it matters for you know for two primary reasons. One is really sustainability and you know looking to reduce a worldwide energy consumption. So for example global energy consumption on a worldwide scale is expected to be roughly eight percent of total energy usage by 2030. That's pretty significant eight percent of total energy usage and you know we're also being faced with things like climate change. We're seeing those real impacts of climate change. The increased wildfires, increased you know hotter summers and more severe thunderstorms. These are all impacts of climate change. So thinking of sustainable solutions that are going to be needed to support this huge growth in demand for energy usage is really critical and we have to do that to you know leave our planet in a better place for our future generations. The second real reason in terms of sustainability is the water usage. Today when you have an air -cooled technology you know a single data center, a single you know hyperscale data center is using roughly about a little less than a billion liters of water per year for a single data center and that's not something that you often see reported and when you have areas like even in the U .S. that are drought you know faced by drought like in California and in the in the southwest even in parts of Oregon.

Divine Naples Podcast
A highlight from Matt was in Chinese Neighborhood and came back not empty handed. Redneck healer is in the studio but it was not enough to fix the problem!! Episode #403 August. 2nd. 2023
"And welcome, Hamde, Wednesday, hello all human people, August 2nd, 2023, episode 403, just starting, Rich, from this mic, and from this mic, Matt, we're just humping right along. Yeah, always humping with you. Nobody else wants to hump with me. You know, I don't think, let's just be one day do a show on who came up with the hump dance. I'm just going to open, you know, applications for hampers. Anybody else out there want to hump with me on Wednesdays, please send us your resume, info at divinehampers .com, I'll be selecting the right humper. I think we just better take an exit left on this. Yeah, actually, let me just say this. Get your minds out of the gutter, people, we're not talking about that. If you're humping, I can guarantee you almost that it's going to be really safe landing, because Matt, with his very thick glasses, said he has two tires. So it's like having airbag. I was going to say, you know, I guess maybe they got that saying from, you know, like you start the week, right, and you're at the bottom and you're climbing this hill and you get, I guess it would be a hump, and you get to the top on Wednesday. And then the next thing you know, my definition is sliding into the weekend. So I look at hump day as the day that you get to the top and you start sliding down to the weekend. For some reason I have to admit I'm still on the bottom. No matter what day it is. We have really slow start after the being flooded. I cannot get really, it used to be step by step, now you know, it's like a baby walks now. You know, you shuffle the feet. You don't even stepping yet. Well, it'll come. Yeah, it was really hard and I'm glad we got over it. Good. I'm glad too now. That's why I sympathize with every single other business and we will do, and we promise right now, and we promised it before, we'll do anything to help them to be known or, you know, whatever we can prosper to build your business, help you build community. If the only thing we can do, you know, to get some information out of our pie holes, we will gladly do that. That's right. If you know somebody who has a story, if you know somebody who has a business and right passion and they wake up early and they go, you know, they go home late. If you know that kids doing homework in their business, that thousands of people we even know about, please send us email. What if they get up late and go to work? Well, that means they getting late. Yeah. They should be early. You said the morning, I mean. They should be early. How about just saying everybody that works. Hey, do you work? Yeah. No, I get what you're saying. People know what I mean. What we want to do is just really help build the community. We believe an important pillar of that community is local businesses and families. So it starts with the individual. And we've been talking all week about being positive. We talked about the 10 cities. We made it where we were number nine in charm in Florida. And let's just make Naples and Southwest Florida a better place for locals that live here and for those that are visiting and tourists. And then part of the dream and vision for this was divine Naples dot com, which is actually 30 websites in one. He told me to call it a hub. So it's a hub and it's 30 different websites. And we try to address all different types of things in the community, whether it's, you know, a happy hour, you know, a real estate page, which is not really like real estate, but a place where people can use the sounding board and talk about their neighborhoods and what's going on. And people could kind of, you know, if people were moving here, they can see, you know, different areas. There's all kinds of stuff that we're doing. And the whole purpose is to to build the community and local business. Is that simple? Yeah. And we've been working on it for 13 years. You have? Well, there's a bunch of people behind the scene. It's not. We also have a team in the Philippines that do a lot of work. So it's not it's not just one person. It's a team. It's one dictator.

"Lee kessler is the fact checker of the washington post. What are you going to believe. Official statements or social media the southwest airlines cancellations over the weekend or a good example of. How news travels on two different tracks today. In the part of the united states that relies on traditional media. Rumors that the cancellations were the result of a pilot. Protest overgrown virus vaccine mandates were dismissed because well there's no evidence official entity such as the airline the faa in southwest pilot's union all issued statements. The rumors were false but in a parallel universe of right wing social media and television. The rumors were treated as true this weekend in protest a large number southwest pilot's called out sick and they effectively shutdown airline and many of them. You should know admire the company they worked for. They love southwest airlines. But they felt they had no choice but to do. This declare tucker carlson on fox news. The pilots committed most basic active nonviolent civil disobedience. Something we used to celebrate in the country. They stayed home. Carlson offered no evidence tobacco statement though. He claimed quote an unnamed pilot. Who said he was losing sleep over the mandate he also interviewed and on the air pilot protesting the mandate who didn't work for south west. The fact that no southwest pilot's have come forward. to confirm a sickout undercuts. The idea that the mandate played a role in flight cancellations as far as we can tell no pilots were anonymously quoted in either the dallas morning news or the houston chronicle two papers that would be positioned to document or walkout but we are not going to completely rule out the possibility either. Stranger things have happened in some of the official statements up here carefully worded there right there right. The faa everybody. They denied it. The pilot's union denied it. They all said it wasn't so southwest on monday. Sit on friday evening the airline into the day with numerous cancellations.

"It's a brand new era like you mention with you know a project. That is san antonio spurs but i mean not much l. for me to say In they're not going to be in the playoffs. I don't think i'm starting to lean toward your side of of this being under just looking at the roster They want finished thirty one. I think that thirty one and thirty three wins last season and i was a with the likes of mills. Derozen company exactly. Yeah might get ugly. Yeah so. I think that this will be a fun team to watch me now. To see some of these players grow and see what their talent will be guys that we mentioned by. Yeah i mean not much else. I mean. Do you have anything else for this team. It's not really exciting. The only thing that. I'm kind of wondering at this. Point is on the nfl. We're looking a ballot. Check in new england and how he's going for win records and now he's trying to hang on there even though is team might not be as good as it used to be. What exactly's popovich still doing in san antonio. I get the idea that he wants to stay loyal to the team. And everything like that. Knowledge does roster's going absolutely nowhere for the last uneven. A what five years. Four years since. I left that that combination of what they were trying to do. I guess with derozen aldridge just didn't work out or i don't think was going to even work out when they landed derozen of the trade with the quiet leonard by yeah i think that if i i guess i'm just wondering kind of finish the flush out my point if i was being unclear. I'm not sure why popovich hasn't retired yet. I can see that also. It seems like that it's time for them to move on from You mentioned visas being loyal to the franchise but the it sounded probably bring a younger younger piece to be a younger person to be the head coach there right because you have so many young players..

"Two teams left both texas teams. And i'll go with the san antonio spurs here Regular season win. Totals right now. Posted is twenty eight and a half wins to make the playoffs. Yes is at eleven to one. The no is at minus three thousand conference odds hundred thirty to one title odds two hundred fifty two one I was really confused. Soc- i know. They lost some veterans from this team but twenty eight and a half winds seems a little low to me. What are your thoughts on that. It's really tricky spot. Because we're used to popovich being somewhere in the high forty s low fifties for win totals. Yeah and now. You're asking him to basically win about a third of his games which is really just a rare spot for popovich to be in having said that they lost a lot. Now you mentioned some. I'll go through some of the details. Here they go through the actual Rosser turnover they lost the rosen. That will also patty mills and it was really gay. They get anything for any of those guys absolutely not. I mean they got nothing. So sorry for your loss there. But he ended up acquiring doug mcdermott mic. Buckets is young and you got dot collins. Now i'm not gonna lie. You mentioned the questionable off season when you introduce the pelicans I thought you were introducing the spurs just to be honest because you can say the same thing about both these teams san antonio's off season was just enough minus awful. I mean there's really no other way around it especially when you have a low teen pick and you take primo kind of ironic because it was a horrible pick despite the last name. I just think that they could have won so many other directions. Primos a guy who people viewed as being potentially good but a little bit of a project where might take maybe two years before. He finds his footing. Now the back court for san antonio is also pretty crowded zhantar. Marie i like derek whites pretty good at times. Lonnie walkers never healthy. But when he is healthy he's decent. I can understand your point. This.

"Going back to the point that you had stan van gundy on this team would really wanna preach defense. But it didn't happen for the for the pelicans last season right. And then you can say that lonzo ball and steven adams sure probably the best defensive players. Can we say that. Yeah yeah and now. You're replacing them with yona's valentinus and devante grams. Or i think. I mean does defense is going to be even worse. I mean how we're gonna be. But they're going to be even worse right as far as your point that you talked about with zaire on and Brandon ingram. I think with the nail on the head that brandon ingram is not gonna be a robin tuzon williamson. Right and you're going to have to find a trade for brandon ingram ingram's great offensive player. Right again defense and being in and out of the lineup with knickknack injuries. As as kind of altered him but I think that if he gets on a team where that just kind of need a bona fide score. I think brandon ingram would fit right in. I don't think he can be a batman on any team. I don't know what are your thoughts on that. He can be a batman on a team. That will win twenty games. Yeah for sure. I mean but not on a contender right. So no yeah. And that's something that he's going to have to mature about it and realized that if you want to win the wwl wnba the nba That he's going to have to kind of embrace that role of being maybe the second guy or even a third guy on a contending team so obviously that the marketability of zion is far bigger than that of brandon ingram. And then that's why everybody wants to see superstar like zion or that that name in new york in a big market where they can just posture him on the four letter network. So i don't agree with you that that is not right for zion and brandon ingram. Because these guys are both guys. I'd probably want the ball down the stretch In the fourth quarter and clutch time i agree with you because zion has a higher fuel percentage in a guy that can just get to the basket..

"Course jon. Touchable think untouchable. But in general i think brooks a solid wire especially defensively. Because he he hustles a law makes people work for it and anderson's a guy who moves in swarm ocean but he somehow effective. I do think that you're going to see. Potentially one of them be moved if the team struggles. So that's also why. I kinda like the no for the playoffs. Because i do think there's a chance that might sell at the trade deadline but that's kinda just speculation on my part of you have any opinions on if they might trade somebody midseason but i think they're more likely to trade away players during the season then trading four players during the regular season. Yeah agree because there's a lot of expiring contracts on this roster that they might wanna trade away process to keep in mind that you're eventually gonna have you think you're half to pay triple j if you wanna keep him there. Also eventually you're going to have to pay job. Ran also right so like you mentioned that if this team is maybe really not in contention they're going to unload those contracts and create some cap space into next summer where they're going to have to sign some players and you know there's there's some guys on this roster that are due for extension so Definitely something to keep in mind as we get closer not only to the season but eventually the trade deadline and keep your eye out for the memphis grizzlies. Now the also offer this team scott. Now let's pretty much of. Let's move on to maybe one of the biggest head-scratching off season moves in trade. So far is the new orleans. Pelicans and their regular season winter right now is set at thirty nine and a half to make the playoffs. They are plus one seventy on the yes minus to ten on the no conference title. Odds forty five to one in nba championship odds at ninety two one scott. I'll kick it off to you. Start this man What did you think of that trade with the acquisition of devante graham giving up a first round. Pick for devante. Graham i thought was ridiculous at the end of the day you lonzo for basically nothing i mean i know technically was signing trade but you basically got nothing form. They panicked and tried to find a replacement point guard of the issue. I have with that fact. That graham is a shoot i point guard yep and when he shoots is not always the most efficient shots in the world. He's the kinda guy who has argued with the same field. Goal percentage as three-point percentage. Because that's basically the only shot that he takes so i do question how he's going to look when he's going to be kind of a catch and shoot guy if i could even say that because i'm assuming that zion and ingram are going to have the ball in their hands pretty much the entire time now. We would agree. Van gundy was terrible..

"And we know how good he is defensively so yes. I do agree that all fence. They might look worse. Because the fact that valentinus is no longer on the team. Def- pensively though with a healthy jaren jackson and stephen adams yeah they might have one of the best defense in the league is going to be the best of course not but i think it will be top ten. So then defensively they shuttle glow sharper. I like the over. Because is a meringue can stay healthy. This team proved that has the supporting pieces to be competitive in the western conference. And i'm sure a lot of people didn't expect them to beat golden state in the play in game last year and they did especially on you know in that thrilling overtime game but if meringue can stay healthy and this team defensively is as good as i think it might be. I'm they should win. Forty four games. I think it'll be a sweat one way or another. But i haven't that does win. Totals about low. Considering the fact that this team made the playoffs last year has some experience and mirant is still really really good. Yeah i think. I really liked the depth outside of Mirant and triple j on this team right. You take a look at brandon. Clark you take a look at Desmond bain who was really good in summer league for for the memphis. Grizzlies exhibited tillman another guy. That can really maybe take that next. Step four for this team. Nelson drafted zaire williams at stanford With their draft. Pick so i think that even though offensively that they lost valent jews. I think there's enough to maybe compensate for that loss grayson allen. Pretty good shooter breath that we'll be able to replace him with with desmond. Bane i think maybe the plan is to for bain to kind of take over that role that grayson allen had There was another name that i d. anthony. Milton is another guy. That's going to be really good for them. So i really liked the depth on the bench for this team They also what added. Patrick beverley onto this roster not. He got traded to minnesota any to minnesota state. I know the grizzlies technically have rondo. He's probably not going to be there in about a day or two. But he's on the roster. Yeah so. I really liked the depth on his team and I think we've got to give a lot of credit to their head coach. Also right. he's been really good for this team when they hired him That blue collar mentality that we talked about with with memphis in and they're they're grittiness. I think that plays really well with inventive minds. So that you talked about right. His team could be great. Defensively like you mentioned not tops in the league. But i think they could be easily top. Ten defense in the league Again with a lot of teams that we talked about.

"Winning coming off the break Like i mentioned will break down the southwest division today Scotland get right into. It may not wanna start with the dow's mavericks here I did see a book. Put up some odds for regular season. Win totals jaw quickly battle off. What i see for the dallas mavericks or the regular season win totals forty eight and a half wins over under to make the playoffs. Yes is at minus six fifty. The no is at plus four fifty to win the western conference. They are at fourteen to one and to win the nba title next season. Twenty five to one of the big news. The dallas mavericks in this off season was the hiring of jason kidd as the head coach and luca danni signing the five year. Two hundred million dollar deal. Stay what the dallas mavericks scott al qaeda. You man would do think this i guess. Let's start with the luke in the jason kidd a news story on your general thoughts there while i have some experience for as jason kidd being the head coach of my favorite team because i am a nets fan through and through yet before they were good so keep that in mind but anyway i didn't think he was that great of a coach now was he a bad coach now. I thought it was kind of neutral is any anywhere near the same quality as riccar. Lyle no so. I think we would agree. That dials downgraded at head coach. Now when it comes to the actual roster. They resign hardaway junior. They resigned bowl on which is always funny for the meme Ended up signing reggie bullock as another shooter in this on sterling brown now sterling. Brown guy who. I've never really thought that highly of. I think he's okay. Meanwhile you have. The likes of bullock thing will help with a three and d philosophy by the seemed to go as far as lucan can carry them because we already know. Porzingas has either one of the worst contracts in the league. Or he's one of the worst fits in the league. Potentially both what that overall roster so when total of forty eight and a half even of carlisle was coach. I'd still like the under with icing kid with a new system. Which failed with the honest. And milwaukee i can't take the over on his win total. I mean it's forty eight and a half. I think the wind forty five game. Something like that. I think they'll make the playoffs. I think if you want to make an argument for them to miss the playoffs it has to do with the four-game playing series stuff going on. Because i think dallas could be anywhere from seven to ten.

"The heart of the nation's manufacturing sector is shifting according to data from the bureau of labor statistics. Five states in the south west arizona new mexico texas oklahoma and nevada added one hundred thousand manufacturing jobs between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty making up thirty percent of the nation's job growth in that sector the wall street journal found that companies producing a wide array of products from steel. To electric cars are getting involved in the boom joining me. Now with more on what's bringing them to the southwest wall street journal reporter ben foley. Hi ben thanks for being here. Thanks for having me so then what is behind this shift. What are the southwest's major draws for manufacturers right now most of the manufacturers. I talked to had a couple kind of core considerations in mind one is labor and southwest is outpacing the nation and a lot of ways in terms of population growth and people wanting to live their lower costs in some ways is always kind of drive in manufacturing so that factors into the equation. Few different ways one is that you know. If you have more labor you can probably have lower costs. You can have more affordable places to live than you might in places like california where a lot of these businesses might otherwise be considering and then tax is regulations things like that tend to lower their than in some of the competing areas. So we're going to break some of those out here but you mentioned california and this does signal in some ways a shift from that state right. Yeah i don't want to overstate the case across the companies that i spoke with and kind of the broader data trends. It does seem that if there's a place that's kind of losing out for lack of a better word on some of these jobs it's california. I spoke to somebody from the governor's office and they made it clear. They're like you know we'll never be the cheapest place to do business. And we know that we think we have these other things offered. But you know if there's one thing that kind of characterizes manufacturing it's reducing costs in any way shape and form and so if that's a matter of wanting to build a new factory in a place where you workers dollar goes a lot further because housing isn't so expensive and utility costs are lower tax burden is lower manufacturers that have looked at california have ended up looking at some of the nearby states instead. So what did you hear from the companies that have recently relocated to the south west or are planning to. What kind of manufacturers are moving there. So i think one of the things is interesting here is that it is kind of a wide range and also some. This is the nature of the area right so in texas. I mean you've always had a fair amount of manufacturing. It's a huge economy. You've already had of car makers there but now you have touched the building at second plant there you have you know one of the first new big steel mill going up in texas in decades and then you also have kind of traditional petrochemical manufacturing downstream. So not like the actual production of the oil and gas but kind of the various things that it gets turned into. You have that down there. Arizona's becoming really notable. Because it's getting a lot of investment from semiconductor manufacturing and texas to actually so you know very advanced manufacturing and ottawa's tell us about some of the things these states are doing to attract companies to the region in terms of incentives and then also on the flip side how the local municipality stand to benefit from companies moving to their areas. Texas doesn't have a lot of state level taxes so they ended up working a lot at the municipality level and nevada has some very large tax incentives. They gave tesla up to one point. Three billion in tax breaks when they built their gigafactory there. It varies across the board. But you know they do try to be competitive on tax abatements and the like. But there's also a lot of i guess projects support would maybe be the way to terminate so in arizona. One thing i heard a lot was that local authorities would island rezone. It extend all the kind of things that you need for a factory. You know your power your sewer hookup all these things and the localities. There were really kind of engaged in that process from the start at the same time. There are kind of resource constraints over the long run. There's a lot of times. These new plants have growing pains whether it be kind of unintended impacts on the housing market. You know in the southwest think one consideration over the long haul is water and drought manufacturing can be pretty water-intensive. Sometimes so i think a lot of the localities as kind of an unmitigated good. But i think also there. There's some kind of this careful planning that has to go into kind of managing the resources that they have been. What about hiring. We know there is a tight labor market right now in companies or competing for workers. How are companies going about this especially in the south west. South west has natural population growth relative to other parts of the country. So that's one markets favor another american interior. That i heard from a couple of companies is that they actually see the location as draw for our talent. They see it being easier to convince people to move to the southwest. You know depending on where you are you more sun and the folks at the steel on texas said we have a lot of counting and fishing types and this is really good place for that and in the case of the senate conductor folks really deep development of engineers coming out of arizona so a lot of the kind of jobs that semiconductor manufacturing isn't kind of your traditional manufacturing job. You don't necessarily need someone you know screwing on a bolt what you need. Are these kind of highly trained technicians and engineers and you know monitoring extraordinarily expensive equipment and arizona has kind of build up a talent pipeline for that in texas has had that as well longtime speaking of semiconductors. The pandemic brought a lot of disruptions to supply chains across industries. Ben how has that changed the thinking around. Us manufacturing especially as we're seeing this sort of boom in the southwest. Now one thing we heard from a lot of site selectors and businesses like was that you know there is a real sense that the pandemic trade policy before that you know there were all these kind of impetuses for shortening your supply chain and and making sure you had some domestic sourcing because i normally cover the auto industry and one thing we've seen is that a shortage of chips largely from taiwan. Has kind of crushed. The industry's ability that keep producing all the cards at once. So it's billions and billions and billions going into new capacity to kind of try to bolster. The us is ability to compete on these kind of core technologies and supply chains and at least in the case of semiconductor is a lot of that is going the south west but you know steal is is another thing that there was a lot of trade tension on over the last couple of years and if new steel mills are any indication those types of inputs are also kind of heading to the southwest as well wall street journal reporter ben foley ben. Thanks so much for joining me today. Thanks for having me.

"And somebody else. Language for two members of late is josh Last three games he's caught fire averaging around twenty points a game and i have to say look for the math lou. Move up the standings and I do look for them to be forced in the west and look for a couple. I might even expect them. You know to try to get a little bit more toughness at the trade deadline. So we'll see what do exciting stuff to see. These teams possibly turn a corner going to move on to a team of the rockets that while discuss injuries before these teams. There's are a little bit more severe and will and we're gonna take a little longer to come back from. I'm what do you think that they could still do to make a run. It's following the all-star break. Yeah i played. I got get off their losing streak On the fifteen losing streak right now hopefully Christie would come back and they can get off of it but they just got on where to get off of it you know. They recently lost a lot of guys and eric gordon. He's gonna be out four to six week with a groin injury. They still have a daniel house. Who's out with knee contusion coach said. He's day to day alarm christy woods on they basically provocation returning any given game. They're filling the game and You'd have People he missed last game. Find injury and john law day today with a knee injuries. So they're never going to need all those guys back if they want to drop this losing streak and honestly the rocket. This year headed Moment probably You know top five six pick this year in the draft. I don't even know if the ham that matter of fact because all stuff they were doing for james hard traded away draft pick. So it'd be interesting to see what they do up how they progress through the rest of this year. Another thing to look at. I did mention on andrew reporters out he j. tucker he's wanting out of houston looking to go to another team and Alad for him honestly probably be fought out. I don't think iraq would be able to trade him without taking. Maybe some bad salary cap space back from another player so live for and get bought out some of the teams. I have on my list of who i think. Should probably pursue him from the playoff run. He's veterans blazer defense. He plays are and a teamed up picked. Art milwaukee bucks. I think he would provide them when extra layer of toughness one along with Jaanus honestly i think you can move. Pj is physician lewis basketball. Now on thinking mo- pj five spot or two four. But janas out there. And i think they could excel whale with Drew holiday Chris middleton and then you have. Pj took brook lopez out there. So after that..

"Jimmy butler twenty points eleven assists eight rebounds next game against chicago. Eleven point victory other twenty eight and drive at twenty five off the bench. So miami's still doing the thing where you know just by committee in butler in a bunch of guys in somebody else is gonna step up. And that's what they've been doing. One game tyler hero. The next game was born. Drawbridge ban out of biogas comes back. That's how miami is gonna go about. They'd been doing very well there in trade rumors for everybody though Pj tucker specifically early depot in before day trades of the rockets. It was known he wants to go to miami and now lamarcus aldridge as well even other names. It's always you know it's always being said right now. The pat riley in the miami heat are keeping their eyes on everybody. And so it's gonna be interesting to see what miami does especially after struggling early in the year even though they picked up the pace and a broken into the top four with injuries. And everything you definitely want to improve your talent. There are definitely in the position to do so next eber. Landau cleveland in memphis. I don't see them dropping. Any of those games. Maybe memphis memphis has been decent lately by miami could make a move come destroyed deadline and if they do Which i think they will. I think they'll be more revamped. So one of those games you mentioned was remind me beat orlando and they're gonna play them in their next game. How do you think orlando is looking at. What could they do to kind of. Try to survive these games against your hot miami team. I mean the only bright spot for the magic so far this season as the nikola to he participated all-star game over the break thirteen minutes. Five point seven rebounds and he wasn't a skill challenges well where he lost in the final to demonise bonus from the pacers But he's been really the only bright spot even earlier in the season with markelle folds breaking out yacht injured coins having decent. He got injured They're now on a seven game losing streak and they lost the miami one or three to one eleven. Like i said boots division bacon dwayne bake and combined for forty five points and gordon finally returned played. Thirteen minutes nine point. Three eight shooting but their next game against the spurs was horrible. One oh five to seventy seven twenty six points. He had a decent game. Dwayne bacon fifteenpoints twenty bacon.

What are you really saying there. Yeah i mean they've won They want to game before the break and they wonder two game since the break they'd be toronto by one. One twenty one to one twenty trae young at thirty seven in the game. He's really been stepping. Up and gallon are who's been struggling. All year had twenty off the bench with the big story of the game. Was tony snow hitting a game winner. I only a second made shot of the game. It's interesting because tony someone has a very good contract right now. Expiring twelve million dollars. He could be a very good piece. The match in a trade for the hawks are coming up the deadline. And so we'll see if the hawks wanna keep him around and not because his his play is improved a lot and then two days later they play the kings and they won by fifteen cappella double double twenty four points and fourteen rebounds abba. The story for that game was the bench. Cagliari was a plus twenty four in solomon. Who was a plus twenty two. So the hawks they've been doing these are now the aid seed. Eighteen twenty the big thing for them moving forward. There's rumors about john collins. He's been linked to minnesota. Minnesota's al bent over him Charlotte boston houston had also been in the rumors for john collins and so we'll see if they if they make any moves they stick stick with the young core The next three games at cleveland.

"Welcome to gen hoops today. Would you are southwest division expert. Curtis johnson Down the past week of nba action for the grizzlies. Maverick spurs pelicans and rockets. Courtesy grizzly with the injury bug a little bit over the last few days on. Have you seen them able to maintain their the the high level play. They had in the in the weeks prior continued their high level of play Obviously injuries arc learn to fart. They would finish the week one in. Today's snap their lose against the charlotte. Hornets joss playing. Good he finished. Fifth all-star voting for the second. Release that they just released. The jumped backfired. Donald mitchell lead them deaths behind. He still shouldn't well from three. Forty eight percent from three yoenis has been planned. Extremely wilson's come back from the health and safety protocols Last regains man. Y'all recorded to double doubles yet. A twenty twenty game against the raptors and grace announced implant of good as well since he's come back from health and safety protocols Last regains he's averaging eighteen points while shooting fifty percent from three. Gotta start against the lakers on. Espn play whale right now. The last regains An eighteen point. So if you're looking for fantasy pickup crazy may be especially with the injury bug ending the grizzlies until someone other gods get back in the lineup. Race may be a solid thick and but the grizzlies. They notably basketball avenue. No nonsense employers healthy vailable right now but I expect special. Everybody gets back to going long. They think they will maintain. I think they're gonna continue to level of play. Everton puertas healthy nonsense players long as they can continue this level of play and You know they you know long as they continue their level of play You know they only have. Tim healthy players at the moment. So nonsense players healthy available to go on the game days I think they're going to continue level of plate at their plan. Be able to stay up middle of the pack. You know not twenty like eight to ten seed right now. But i do believe once they get their roster back they're gonna make competitive push a go straight up on rankings in the conference exciting stuff over there for the grizzlies and moving over to the mavericks there on a four game win streak but early in the season we also. I'm struggling offensive. Rating was way lower than it was last year where they were the best offensive all time in terms of offensive rating. I'm sorry It looks back to playing winning basketball. Would you say that's true. Definitely talent is my favorite thing that i'm excited about. Cover seem since that. A golden state game on a four game win streak. They're playing winning basketball again..
