Secretary of State Antony Blinken is reaffirming the U .S. commitment to the delivery of life -saving humanitarian assistance in war -torn Gaza. A State Department spokesman said Blinken conveyed that message to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during the Secretary's unannounced visit to the West Bank today. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders emphatically supports Israel's right to defend itself but also says the bombing in Gaza must stop. Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Sanders said Israel's right to defend itself does not give it the right to kill thousands and thousands of innocent men, women and children. Sanders, who is Jewish, called Hamas an awful terrorist organization and he condemned the group's October 7th attacks on Israelis that led to the Israel -Hamas war. Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is defending a House bill that provides more than $14 billion in aid to Israel by cutting an equal amount of funding to the IRS. That money from this giant fund, over $67 billion that's sitting there to build up the IRS, it's more important to protect Israel right now than it is to hire more IRS agents. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, the Louisiana Republican talked about a new way of doing business in Congress. He said he wants Congress to find ways to pay for spending measures instead of adding to the national debt, the bill that was passed in the House.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized a Republican -led bill that passed this week and provides $14 billion in aid to Israel while cutting funding for the IRS. He slammed Republicans for unnecessarily conditioning aid to Israel and leaving out funding for humanitarian assistance for Palestinian civilians. The bill passed the House with the help of a dozen Democrats, despite veto threats issued by President Biden.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on Friday and called for a pause in the fighting to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

A highlight from What Is Trump Coin? - Safemoon Tacos - Hundred Coin - Degen Dungeon
"What's up, Discover Crypto? I'm Jackie Dutton, mother of degens, first of her name, and queen of the shitcoin kingdom. It's been a glorious week of green candles and great news for crypto, and I know that you little degenerates are just itching to throw some profits into a potential 1000x dumpster fire. So I'm going to break down a couple for you, some of them that you so kindly recommended in the comments last week. I will add some of my own colorful commentary of course, and we will see if these deserve a pump or a dump. Good? Good. Let's get into it. First up, this token is the greatest token, much better than any other tokens. I saw this token and I thought, wow, this is a great token. A token hoping to make Ethereum great and not the mega token, which also exists, but it's trash. Let's not talk about them. No, this glorious token is named after 45 himself, the Trump token, with the ticker actually being Trump. Of course, his name is on it. His name is on more things than lawsuits right now, if that's possible. If you're looking to own a based token that also does some good, this is one of the ways is the tokenomics use half of their 1 % buy and sell tax to donate to Operation Underground Railroad to help stop human trafficking of children and disabled American veterans. I'm not sure how protecting children and helping veterans became causes of the far right, but welcome to 20 and 23. I hate it here. On their website, megatrumpeth .com is also President Trump's real Ethereum address if you would like to donate to his campaign directly. I am sure that he would say thank you if he wasn't currently being fined for violating a gag order every time he opens his mouth. The heads of the project are Sean Farish and Steven Steele, and they host weekly Trump Twitter spaces on Tuesdays at 8 p .m. $100 buys you over 2 ,500 tokens and currently the 30 -day chart of this token is looking a lot better than Biden's approval ratings. So let's make crypto great again, guys. I would pump this. I will also pump cyanide into my veins if we have to deal with four more years of this shit. Next up, thanks to samsung -jn55 in the comments of last week's video is our next token. Do you ever feel like the only thing that would make Bitcoin better is if it were truly anonymous? Because nothing assures skeptics and the government that you are not using crypto for a sketchy purpose like privacy coins. Truthfully, I feel bad for even talking about this coin here. For starters, it's not a token, it's an actual coin. It is proof of work instead of the typical DJIN POS. And no, that doesn't stand for proof of stake with the tokens I usually talk about. Bitcoin -Z is a proof of work coin that you can mine that is like anonymized Bitcoin. It was launched by an anonymous developer and it is completely decentralized. Its all -time chart shows that it's currently down 99 % from its former all -time high, so either it's a really good buy or a really dumb one. Honestly, this looks like one of those projects that did really well before the 2021 meme coin NFT metaverse hype took over. So let me know in the comments if you think that proof of work will see a resurgence in the next bull run, especially since Bitcoin received so much Greta Thunberg backlash for being bad for the environment. Which is a lie, by the way. You know what sucks way more fossil fuels for its usage than Bitcoin's entire blockchain? YouTube. You're on it. You're killing the earth. But also, smash that like button. We now interrupt this episode of DJIN Stensions to bring you a special segment from our Weather Girl. Yes, as you can see, we have some strong winds developing in a system delivering a major red flag warning for all SafeMoon holders. The official Clusterfuck system began forming a few weeks back when their CEO issued a public statement in their Discord that the LP does not belong to the holders, stating that they are also not investors in the company products. Since this system began forming, it has caused a massive drought, leaving the Treasury wallet bone dry. In an effort to ease the drought, it has been raining nothing but merch on this moon, though. Merch that you must use fiat to purchase or anything other than SafeMoon. But it won't be used to restore the liquidity. So a voluntary evacuation has begun on the chart, as the climate is simply unsustainable for life. Any word from their CEO about why the liquidity pool wouldn't belong to the holders? So far, no. Just a post about Taco Tuesday and spending the equivalent of 381 ,000 tokens to eat on one meal. There has been an update from their former Chief Marketing Officer, though, in which he is posting excerpts from an upcoming book he's writing about his experience working at SafeMoon. 381 ,000 tokens for tacos. SafeMoon, fighting to be the next Venezuelan Boulevard.

Francis said war is only a defeat, and he urged people to pray for peace in Israel and Palestine. GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley says Saturday's Hamas attack on Israel is something that could happen here in the U .S. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Iranian backers, they hate us.

If you did a motion to vacate, you would have to a handful of Republicans work with Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Ehan Omar to remove the speaker. And it would be exactly what the president wants.

McCarthy also brought up what it took for him to secure the speaker's gavel in January. He was elected after a historic 15th ballot.

Brett Eagleson's father was killed in the World Trade Center and doesn't feel victims' family members have all the details of who was responsible for the attacks. It's been 22 years and it's shameful that we have yet to have an administration or a president that has had the courage to hold the kingdom of Saudi Arabia accountable for what they did.

Polyester, I buy them on in bay, I spend $30 for them. I buy them four sizes bigger than my normal size. And they're my own look. They exist. They return. It's an object of size. So for me, designing an eternally perfect object is the goal. And for the world, I think consuming less, but better is the answer. I think we'll always need to cover our bodies and perhaps one day it would be in futuristic garments that will speak back to us and help us to navigate through the world. But at the moment in my time, it's just being responsible about the energy that you consume. And I mean that spiritually as well. I don't just mean the physical energy that puts gases into the atmosphere. I mean, also emotionally and intellectually putting out the right kind of energy that takes us towards to take cliche more sustainable life. When you think about those eternal objects, is there something within the aspects of the products that you are working on and designing that you feel has that? Potential. The brand has deep roots in technical outerwear, nylon products, and within those products there's a lot of very interesting research, Japanese materials that are breathable ultralight that protect you from the cold as much as something padded and down feeling. There is a kind of usage of that, which is very protective, but it's also become an actual garment. You can make a jacket or a shirt out of it. So it becomes multi purposed to a degree, so you can wear it on your moped buzzing through Rome or you can wear it under your jacket or you can wear it in place of the jacket. It has this kind of universal utility. There are objects that are already there that are in terms of a manufacturing and utility space age if you want. And I don't see why not.

"Now we return to our conversation between Lawrence Steele, creative director at Milanese clothing label as bessie, and Monaco's fashion editor, Natalie. Let's hear how the news and a lifetime of traveling and working across the globe enriches this designer's approach to creativity. I come from another country I live in a country that's not my own. I've traveled and lived in different countries on my way to coming to Italy. So I'm an outsider looking. And so things come to my attention. I'm very curious about what's going on everywhere. And I'm an avid reader and a voyeur to some degree. So I'm interested in what people have to say and things that are in the newspapers, what's going on. I've been creativity is really about communicating concrete ideas through the abstract and the metaphor is the great way. It's interesting also that you say you look at the world or even the news, for inspiration rather than what some artists are creatives are tend to do, which is leave more than a bubble or look at more obvious sources of inspiration, whether it's a piece of art or a film, those kind of areas. I studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, and we were taught to look inward and at the world for what artists were inspired by to begin with from the beginning of history to know. It's human culture that really inspires artists. And culture is something that's intangible. It exists as a fragrance around things. And if you're actually living your real life, you know, it's happening to you, you know? And so it's a question of picking up those things and turning them into art. There's also a layer of if I say the word pop, I know that I can dig into an ocean of inspiration I can go pop art and think of Warhol or I can think of Jeff Koons. And then you think, well, those are two different versions of pop and then there's the art itself. And it becomes a universe. That always exists there as a sort of paintbrush. But the real idea is that make you want to paint something or to build a brand because for me bran ding is like painting. You think of Coca-Cola, right? And you think, wasn't there that advertising where who had kissed a can of Coke and they had Elvis and Marilyn and all these people in the romance that became the Coca-Cola bottle or the can or then there's an image that I have of a Coke can on the moon and you think, well, that's the human footprint. When you think of branding, that's sugar water at the end of the day. But there's a spirit that's gone into talking about what it represents, which is freedom, which is the new world, which is pleasure, which is maybe something radical. Like I want to be radical so I drink Coke instead of something else. And you can say this about beer or champagne or clothing or stuff like that. But being authentic, you want to not just talk about some abstract thing that doesn't really resonate with what you're doing, artistic means talking about something and it being mirrored in the object that you make. I love how you, that your comparison to Coca-Cola and beer and champagne, but we can look at the same product in some cases, sugar water, but create stories around the product and keep renewing those stories because in fashion, I think we do have an obsession to change and to keep looking for the new, but maybe sometimes that's not what the answer really is. I always think that fashion is something that you can never see in the moment. Fashion to me, you can only see in retrospect. You can look back and say, that was the fashion of that period, right? You can say the 60s were that. And the 70s were that. And the 80s were that. But while we were in those years, it wasn't so clear what you actually saw was the culture of a specific time being expressed instinctively. You have to learn how to step away and hear the words that are repeated and people's mouths. When they become a sort of mantra, sustainability, sustainability, identity, identity, sexuality, sexuality, consumerism, walls, nations, immigration, all these things come together and you say, well, what do I think about these things? You know, this is the culture that I'm in. And how does integration and identity and fluidity mean something to me. I am this person that's the outsider. I am living this thing. I am without a nation. I don't identify necessarily with one culture, but I am the generation that saw globalism as a chance to visit the world and be on a singular spaceship traveling through the unit verse. And so my point of view and what I can dig in when I'm looking inside to create these metaphors that I'm sharing with MIT comes from what I'm hearing and what I'm reading and what I'm seeing. And only when we look back in ten years time or 15, will we be able to say it was valid and it was fashion because it was of that time. Dressing, living here now and also having lived all this other lives and experienced other cultures. How has it all come together in this moment in your life? That's a very long story to tell. When I arrived in Italy, of course, the impact was how incredibly beautiful this country is how beautiful the Italians are, the language of love, the care of making food and living quality of life, where they took time to share the importance of family, all these things were the first things that I perceived obviously when I came. And it was a very different country. I arrived in the mid 80s, and Italy has been full of immigrants since the ancient Romans, right? But the time that I came, it was like a new moment where the world was opening up. And I learned a lot about my own country and learned about America by having this experience. And I'm American who's lived in Spain, Germany, Japan, Italy, traveled the world, but I'm creative director of a very Italian very Milanese brand. What I try to bring is my rationalism, but to not lose the authenticity of the care that there was given in creating the ethos for the brand. But there's the future and I'm moving the brand towards alongside that future. And it's a mission that I'm best cut out for. Exactly because I happen at the right place at the right time. And when you think about the future for the brand and your personal work, but also the industry we work in and how we are navigating the world and all these shifts that's happening. What do you foresee again a big question, but I'm sure you have interesting insights. My ideal for the brand would be to come up with a hundred objects that I never have to touch again, that are so perfectly authentic. So iconic. So archetypical, that they don't mean to be designed ever again. And so that energy is not wasted. And perhaps they

"He returned to a specie as creative director of the entire brand in 2020, and has gone on to refine the labels demure medley of timeless Italian basics. Monocles fashion editor Natalie caught up with Lawrence at the lively aspect showroom during Milan fashion week. She began by asking how the brand has evolved since his appointment. There are several different levels of working as a creative director as opposed to as a designer on the collection. The main thing is finding new ways to communicate in a sort of viral way to the team. And the team is built of creatives, but it's also built of commercial people, what you want is that everybody has a holistic idea of what the brand is about. So creating a language, terminology, that brings to mind the same way to everyone an ideal is the first goal. And so in that sense, in the language that I've been using, I've been speaking about Aspen as a wardrobe. A wardrobe as opposed to a collection because you can imagine that someone has chosen the pieces and that each piece has been chosen because it's been necessary and that those pieces may be worked together in order to make an identity. It's the first way of going about it so that we're kind of removed from the idea of like making a look for each season and a more honed in on adding something to the collection of pieces that wasn't there before needs to be there or needs to be updated. The language is the first thing. For me, it was essential to recuperate the codes. I've been in love with Ryan for such a long time. I feel that it was in the Vanguard already 30 years ago when the idea was to focus on product and kind of evergreens. There are lots of companies that do that. I mean, you think of, I don't know, Levi is a car hard or barber. Brands that kind of do these very specific things. The idea of doing it on a vast conception of pieces was very forward thinking. And I think that fashion has kind of caught up with that idea. Now there's this whole thing of how society has changed how we're contemplating gender, how we're contemplating consumerism to a degree. And the fact that you can buy an object that you invest in and that you want to keep for more time puts focus on function and on a sense of reality and quality that I think is another interesting challenge. So putting that forward as part of the language that we're speaking in the offices and a way that we're understanding the garments that are standing in front of us has been the main focus. There's also a photographic representation of the idea and kind of choosing a way to reiterate that same concept. I chosen the metaphor of the family, which is in my mind an Italian thing, right? A very essential part of Italian life, where you have a common culture. There's a spirit that has been ingrained in people from generation to generation from parents to children. The fact is that that culture is interpreted in different ways by the different members of the family. So you have the brother that might want to express himself against the grain of those ideas or towards those and a sister or an older brother or mother or father, and eventually how objects in this household can be worn or passed from one to the other and take on different meanings. In that sense, when we're looking at an object that's an evergreen in the collection, we're also looking to bring it to someone new. And figuring out is that in the fabrication, is it in the color? Is it in the way we put it together with something else? Is it taking away a sizing system that defines it as masculine or feminine and start using a new sizing system one, two, three, four, 5, then opens the choice and the interpretation of what the object is. Which simultaneously maybe helps production reduce the volume of pieces being manufactured and concentrate the volume being produced to get a better cost quality ratio. The work that I'm doing is sort of like honing in on a concept that is common for all of us to look at and then from which each side of the business can kind of relate to then send out outwards as a message. It's great that you speak about approaching this as a wardrobe rather than changing a look or creating a look every 6 months is part of that formula really thinking a lot more about the fabrics that you use and the quality of materials who's making them these are conversations that everyone is starting to have a lot more. But I imagine that in a brand like us PC, it's even more of a priority. I will definitely fabrics have been a major part of building the work that we do. And it's the easiest way to transform an object from one thing into another through fabrication. But I would say that asphalt is more focused on the authentic. And so when we do research in fabric, it's more about creating something that has an authentic quality. So if we're working with a wool, it's like where we're sourcing that wolf from, if it's a Shetland, maybe it comes from a particular fabric manufacturer. If it's for nylons, maybe there's a technical quality. So it's more about creating an authentic garment more than defining the look and feel of a PC. We want the object to feel like it's almost always existed. It doesn't have to seem necessarily new. But it has to seem desirable in your wardrobe. This particular season, I started from a desire to communicate to the team since we're quite known for a lived in natural kind of comfortable thing ust cotton and Warren in jackets and stuff like that. I wanted to remind people that I see is also about rigorous dressing. The idea was, what can I do to kind of bring in an emphasis on that? And I kind of invented this very abstract idea of punk'd monks getting down and meditating. And it's absurd as a phrase. For me, it's urban solemn because we're speaking about a wardrobe and not really about literal monks, but it's this kind of like worn wash comfortable, honest earnest clothing. And the idea of being punked monks means they kind of contrasting them with something more industrial, more hard, more pop in a certain kind of way. The juxtaposition of maybe are more conventional clothing with something less conventional, but still quite industrial meant finding rubber max and bringing them into the language and maybe it's something that we hadn't done before. But it's still a classic or finding nylons that have been rubberized that are ultra light and still have a technical feature of being breathable, but giving you a finish that is something different than the nylon taft is that we've been using or chin sing a nylon so that it's lacquered and suddenly becomes very brilliant. And working those things in contrast to the more humble Harris tweeds or chambres, even mohair, mixing it with metallics. The idea of how these things talk to each other and the personality that comes out of a garment or a juxtaposition of two or three garments that come

"Chain problems and shipping log jams And we heard all about it from Union Pacific CEO Lance Fritz And he tells Bloomberg's Alex Steele and guy Johnson the railroad is fighting the log jams by trying to be more efficient So let's start with the good news The good news is the reason why we're in this kind of supply chain constraint is that the economy's good and strong consumers are buying and there's demand So that's a great place to start COVID has definitely had an impact on the supply chains All across the supply chains whether you're at factories in Asia or other parts of the world coming across the water in our ports or on the middle miles in the final miles getting it into a warehouse Our perspective is it's going to take a while to dig out of the hole we're in And it's mostly about getting labor into jobs We need we need more truckers We need more warehouse workers We just need to be more fluid so that we can match supply of capacity with demand from consumers So there's lots to unpack there Lance and I echo guys thanks for joining us I just want to focus on some of the specific recent action that you guys have taken especially to help clear the port position and we'll get to labor in a second But you're looking at things like supply chains working 24 7 on the West Coast offering incentives to inga containers on weekends improving the driver experience on some ramps and some apps et cetera What has been the tangible result of these initiatives Yeah great question Alex and thank you So we play the middle mile and we take boxes from port facilities get it onto the railroad get it into an intermodal ramp inland so that a truck driver can get it off of us and into a warehouse What we've done in all across that network we're at 24 by 7 company all the time In the LA basin we had one intermodal ramp that was serving the ports that didn't work about 20 hours a week 20 hours out of all the hours in the week And so we opened it up for those hours and we also put on an incentive for anyone to use us during those new hours You got as a shipper you got an extra $60 for that box for bringing it to us during that time frame Now we haven't seen a lot of demand for that but I think the most important aspect is we're taking things off the table We're showing up and we're demonstrating that we're part of the solution And then you talked about technology One of the ways we can help tangibly is to help truckers get on and off our ramps quickly So we're using our UP go app so they're paperless onto the ramp We're getting them to their destination in the ramp The parking spot with excellent signage and our truck partners are now getting through us much more quickly Alex mentioned labor Are you experiencing shortage of anything you need to keep your infrastructure running What's the picture in terms of operating Union Pacific right now Yeah guy we're the middle miles And so if there's congestion on a port facility or of truckers and people can't take boxes off of our ramps in Chicago say we start getting bound up with inventory Right now we're fluid Ports look like they're about normal in terms of getting a box from a ship onto a railroad And on the other end we're not having an excess amount of inventory on our ramps We do see in certain parts of our network that COVID's having an impact on our crew availability First in terms of cruise that have to quarantine because of exposure Second because we're part of a vaccine mandate as a federal contractor And so we give time off to our employees to get vaccinated And then because we have a little bit of mismatch imbalance in some of our resources we're not using our cruise terribly effectively at this point in a couple of pockets in our network But all in I wouldn't say labor is a deep concern So when does that revolve resolve itself And I'm wondering about the mandates too because there was a narrative that was debunked by some of the CEOs from airlines that the vaccine mandate for airliners led to less crew Have you seen that Is that a thing Does that happen And what is it on COVID If we don't ever really end COVID how do you manage this Yeah that's a great question Alex It's a frustration for all of us as CEOs certainly for me personally that there's no clear articulation of an endgame You know so right now because we're a federal contractor we're demanding that our employees get vaccinated or have an accommodation either religious or medical And that's hard We've got a lot of independent thinkers in our workforce Rightfully so they're excellent And some of them really don't like being told what to do They'd like to be able to continue to go through the process and make these decisions for themselves And that's largely being taken off the table Now I have no idea if that turns into a labor issue for us at the end I sincerely hope not And I anticipate it won't But right now as they are getting vaccinated we're giving them time off you know in order to go get the shot as well as if there's any side effects to the shot and that's costing us a little bit of availability And it's real It's marginal But on the margin of matters Lance should America be investing in railroads The president has an infrastructure Bill He's about to spend a few bucks here and there on improving America's infrastructure What role do you think the railway should play in that Guy the coolest thing about American freight railroads is we fund ourselves Union Pacific generates about 20 billion in revenue a year and we invest about 3 billion in capital year So we really do not need to look to the government to get our infrastructure and really good shape The last report card put out on American infrastructure by the civil engineering association basically said.

Anything bad one hundred percent But so joseph says man digs makes that interception at the end of the game we would have a different discussion. And if and that was so close i mean literally touched almost alternatives his fingertips. I don't know how well you saw that they're even with your super hawkeye vision. Sorry thom But if he does make that pick then. I do think the conversation is dan. Quayle did it. You know what. I mean like this defense win. The super bowl trayvon two interceptions. It is truly a game of inches in that particular sense. I mean you still have to give it to digs like being there in. Like almost getting it. I i know i hate. We hate to almost arrogant so hurts but like last year you couldn't walk up to us and like hit us with the football in the helmet and be like take this and like have created like i know it's an almost but he also had what he had and pick earlier in the game. Is that right. yeah again. Don't have hawkeye vision like tom. So i did have hard time. Seeing that burns wants to note that hawkeye is the worst avenger. So tom. That was my point. Oh so it's like a self deprecating things time. Well i thought you were really passionate. I didn't know if you know if you were like an archer of spare time. That didn't know what was going on here. Seen something flowing flying around. And i'm a guy with the boa an arrow come on interesting. That was We'll try to get this back on track. Tony let's talk briefly about the washington football team who plays two days from now on thursday night. Against the new york giants super pumped to watch these two pedestrians. Tell you But quarterback ryan fitzpatrick will six to eight weeks with a hip injury that he suffered early in the game last week during their loss against the los angeles chargers. I am not somebody who believed in ryan fitzpatrick this season. Call me by comma home or whatever I did not think that that was the like magic answer to this team. I was thrilled when it was chicago. Traded up to draft fields and not washington but the next eight weeks for the washington. Football team tony. Our new york on thursday night at buffalo who will probably get right by then at atlanta. Who did us no favours falcons. You suck then the saints and chiefs at home before. They travelled green bay and denver before thereby they do host. The buccaneers after that by Is washington in the mix at all if they were in the mixed this impact them like how do you see. They're standing in the division at this point in time and burns asks do they sign camp so you know. I think this is deeply impacts. They rate i mean if you look at the start of the season. We're only one game in so you can still kind of have those. You don't want to get too high or too low based on one week of action I washington is perceived to be our biggest threat in the division and they just lost their starting quarterback for six day weeks for a guy who has taken grad glasses So so now. So he's out there and you look at it and it's yes they have you know equality defense and they have probably the best collection of front seven you know at least eline guys in believe deeply impacts the way that you look at it. 'cause six day weeks they could be. What two four. Two one five in that strategy one game. Do they win here. Because i fancy graphics tony look down but right now i'm looking at it. Look at it right. You look at the giants i mean. I mean that's iceberg slim. Says they will be right off the bat. So and i would love that. I mean i could see them. You know i guess the only game looking at it is new york and maybe denver. They give him a run. I mean i. I smoke in washington easily at mile. Stadium earth all right. Whatever suits right. So yeah i mean washington. By the time he gets back it could be you know tank season. Not really you know what i mean facetiously but you know. We're looking at a different a different way if you're sitting there at seven So tom what's washington's record. Going to be their own one here. These are their next seven games and thereby meg. I'm coming to you nick. So none of this like. I'll put me on the spot. But tom tom. We'll go through one by one winner. Lauch four washington new york on thursday. I think they've got a good chance of warning that because they are going up against jason garrett's offense. So best best possible great so one one at buffalo all right cool one to atlanta. I think atlanta wall pull themselves together after they let us down so badly. And so i say that is likely loss atlanta this tom all right so one and three new orleans and kc back to back. Oh boy that's a tough tough pair games man. I can't see them. It looks like jimmy. Us will winston. I actually have found coats that can get him to the operate efficiently. So i don't see them wanting that. And jesus still the cheese patrick mahomes. They're they're good. And then at lambeau well depends. O- at that point has aaron. Rogers succeeded in what appears to be an attempt to get them to been kim or not because performance in the opening week was almost deliberately to not go out and play a good game. I mean i don't know how to describe it Green bay looked horrible. So that i'm not sure but yeah that one that one could be a surprise because a rebate me about to be come really off the rails and then and then at denver after that i think denver can probably be so may at best i think they could be two than six but now since he wanted seven out of the realm of possibility at all. If you're with us live by the way on youtube please let us know what you think. Washington's record will be at the break their own one now they have seven games between now and then no Six games between already lost three four. Five six seventy seven games between that. So what will their record. They will have played eight games at the by very embarrassing. Moment for me Right there tom. You have them at two and six. Maybe and yeah. I think though they'll look into something. Maybe it's the falcons game. Maybe the saints game like maybe something weird like again. It is football but to be very clear we are talking about. It seem that we all believe is extraordinarily bad. We all beyond a shadow of doubt believed that they will beat the giants which is embarrassing for the giants. Make what do you think Dot says one and seven here Christopher summers says one in seven category where wanna see these baked goods maquette one in seven dallas. Theon arrays with tom.

And that's why when people get rid of my anxiety. If you want to terrify yourself so you're getting renewing zaidi your anxieties like watch. You need me are you kidding. And i don't wanna get rid of anyone. I want to train it just like the dog. We want the dog in the dog. Bed sleeping nicely so you can have a life and then when you really need it then. The dog comes out. See i see. That dog is comedy. Sometimes because one hand getting on stage can allow you to vent this stuff and feel better about it on the other side is. We tend to dramatize much on stage that that a friend my friend said you're i never heard this term ed knows catastrophes sharon so we're happens you do is when you when you're a comic comic i was you don't go to hawaii ear mexico for weeklong vacation and come back and get on stage and talk about everything that went. Well there's no there's very little money in there you gotta go down there. My wife got steamer trunk with forty eight swimsuits. Where we go. You know so. That's what you do. So sometimes i think i carry that a catastrophe ising other little things partly because i've been rewarded financially and some laughter by getting on stage and making mountains out of molehills and whatnot. And so that's something that i think. Oh boy another thing. Having zygi about is whether or not for the last thirty years. I've made a living in part by you. Know exaggerating the importance or the danger of things and this is the same is true with self-deprecation from from my point of view. You know my whole my whole personality has been formed on self-deprecation. Now the thing is if you believe those things that you're saying about yourself and other people laughing there's a problem sure because you're not that person and and the messages that you're giving yourself or that you're not worthy. What ed is saying is a lot of comics like me. We perform i on stage and say i saw this thing. This a stupid kind of moron believes this and self deprecation are self effacing humorous when you mostly make fun of yourself down your own shortcomings. And that's what ed did. Well ed was very good at it and a lot of times. He wasn't so good at so we picked up the slack and then made fun of him as well. Yeah and that's what was so great. Is you get the community helping which thing and confirming your suspicion. But what i'll say about you. Know an and jennifer can speak to this. But what i'll say is that johnny lists this litany of things that would bury most people okay. It's a litany of things that have gone horribly..

Welcome to the show. you know. We're the show that talks about mental health. We talk with comics. Talk with entertainers. We talk with visual and performing artists from all over the world and we not only talk about it but we practice skills. We practice resilient skills because unbeknownst to many people mental health is a practice. It's a topic. It's a great topic. A lot of people are talking about it. Which is wonderful. Erasing the stigma of mental health around mental health. But it's really a practice. We practice everything in life. We practice knitting. Why don't we practiced how we relate to our thoughts and feelings on. Why don't we learn about how our brain works. Well that's what this show is about. And that's why we have jennifer kalari. Jennifer has a wonderful organization called connected. Parenting dot com. She teaches resilient skills. There are books. There's media podcast. There's all kinds of classes that you can take.

It's very hard to be apparent without self parenting and i can speak from personal experience. My daughter's tell all book will be coming out shortly. Yes so we're learning. We're learning these kinds of things. There's no perfection in it. It's just practicing. Its rehearsing the moments in life. That gives us a trouble and now of course there's a huge This is a huge transitional time when people are trying to figure out how to reenter the world. It's almost like people are trying to reenter the world without realizing that. We've just been through a year of armageddon. How do you deal with.

I know a lot of people are the people who run high with anxiety. This if you've been lucky enough to be well and safe and have basic needs met. You're actually doing okay. Because you're you're familiar with being anxious but if you're not somebody like that you've been thrown into hell so now that we're going back into life.

"I think it's a healthy thing for both his administration in the country. So let's talk about a couple of these policies. And i'd like to to start with the whole. Hr one discussion in washington right. It does appear that the republicans philosophy is do whatever you can to win. Voters suppress fine gerrymander. Change the look and feel of the local voter so that you can win. Fine lie fine. The biden administration is butting up against that philosophy. So let's first talk about in this congress especially with the senate in the condition that it's in with the filibuster still alive. How do you navigate from here to you know maybe getting. Hr one past making sure that the voter has a say as opposed to. They have no way to vote under the circumstances. Yeah so hr one is more than just voting and that's the problem with hr one. If i were the leadership what i would do at this point is i will pull the voting provision out as a standalone and put that package before the congress now you put the republicans in a spot because it's easy for me to go back and criticized. Hr one by saying it's put does all these other things that we can't afford and it has nothing to do with voting. You know the environmental provisions in there all sort of christmas tree. Stop the you know. We tend to do as as a democratic member of the said. Yeah the problem with anything. That's that's labeled. Hr one is that it just becomes a a stalking horse for people to attack. And because it's loaded up with everything what about gerrymandering and campaign finance. How do you think the democrats controlled the house of representatives. That's been a part of the national platform for a long time but at least the democrats are willing to reform it now. Yeah and that's fine. Then put it in a separate bill. You think you could get a past probably not why while the same. You can't get responsible gun. Legislation passed whereas the will for the will with the voters there but the will with the politicians that are supported by the nra is not and who the voters vote for. You think that the politicians right now on gun. Rules are reflecting the voters. Can you ask you this. What was sandy hook. When when do we watch twenty six little babies. Get up in their classrooms. What year was that. And how many elections have we had since then and this is a ninety percent issue with the american people. It becomes a chicken and egg because to the extent. You have gerrymander districts. No it doesn't it does. So what's the answer to that. Michael you vote them out it. It's harder with gerrymandered districts. And i'm not talking about Let's talk about the past. You say let's talk about. How do you fix it today. Actually you know what jane he's right you have said elections have consequences. This is one of the consequences. Yes i understand that whether the gerrymandered or not ninety seven percent of the members of congress get reelected that's democrats and republicans so at the end of the day if these issues are that important to us as citizens as voters why do we keep electing individuals who don't support us on those issues. We keep reelecting them and irrespective. You're now into the second gerrymandering. The second redistricting period. We're in twenty twenty that occur during the period. Twenty ten to twenty twenty. So you can change that. I know that first hand. Because i live in a state where am outnumbered two to one by democrats all right but i fought to change the system in my state to give to give single member districts to black voters who are being represented by white politicians and to give republicans a little. Bit more opportunity to compete. I live in a county of eight hundred thousand people in which they're only registered fifty thousand republicans. So don't talk to me about the impact gerrymander. And i know that first hand and i'm not talking about gerrymandering from party perspective..

"Introductory note sir. Richard steele sixteen. Seventy two to seventeen twenty. Nine addison's chief collaborator. In the tatler and the spectator was born in dublin of an english father and an irish mother. He made addison's acquaintance at school and they were at oxford together. Steel left the university to enter the army and opened his literary career while still a soldier with christian hero. In seventeen o two. He began to write for the stage. And was of notable influence in redeeming the english drama from the indecency which had marked much of it. Since the restoration like addison he combined politics with literature and in seventeen fifteen was knighted as a reward for his services to the hanoverian party. The chief glory of spectator is of course the club and it was in the essay which follows that steel. I sketched the characters. Composing the spectator himself was addison's creation. And addison also elaborated sir. Roger though steel originated him with ever- may be the respective claims of addison and steele to the credit. For the success of the spectator. It is to steal that the honor belongs of having founded its predecessor the tatler and silver originating the periodical say steel was a warm hearted impulsive man full of sentiment improvident and somewhat weak of will. These qualities are reflected in his writings which are inferior to addison's in grace and finish but are marked by greater spontaneity and invention probably know piece of writing of equal length has added so many portraits to the gallery of our literature as the first sketch of the spectator club.

"Know. I've been doing this long enough. That most of what we offer to our clients as very structured. You know it's very almost productized if we're going to do a final campaign it's not like we're starting from scratch and saying okay. Well what's this photo golic lake. And what are these emails going to be. I don't know we have a structured approach to it So it's not that. I'm needing the time to sit down and think of a brand new strategy. It's really just kind of taking okay. What are the building blocks. We always use in these kinds of projects. And how are we gonna put it together for this specific need. Thank you for that. I want to be mindful of your time here so well for the gift of it. No i not saying that to be rude to i do. I do mean it Your your time as a gift to us dr listener. So thank you for that. And now i will ask you questions. And it's about success. And i wonder how do you define success that a personal definition of professional definition. Maybe you mix the two. How do you define success. It's definitely a mix of the two I'll be completely transparent that i'm very profit oriented when it comes to my business. I feel like that's a good indicator of success for me as you know especially as i have a child that's going to need me for the rest of my life will need fulltime support for the rest of his so making sure that every minute that i put into my business pays back over and over and over again is super important so i consider that to be something that is very closely tied to my personal success. i also really just love influencing and helping others to get to a point where they feel confident in their business and so anytime that i am able to share an experience or give advice or chair something that i did horribly wrong so that someone can do it differently. I felt that's also a piece of my success anytime that someone tells me that something is cheered or helped them with has helped them feel more confident in what they're doing in their business That's the other half of it for me. You know what. I find very fascinating interesting. Inspiring is the combination of profit driven business with the desire to be helpful and kind and good. And i think a lot of times when you are driven by profit. It's assumed that you are cold and that you are not also altruistic as you're describing that you are i know that you are So i'm wondering how that comes back around and how those things work together. 'cause sometimes i feel like if i want to be helpful and good. I'm not making any money right. I'm offering. I'm offering to help. And i'm not charging for that or i'm not charging as much so. Can you talk a little bit about that balance and how you work that out in your mind in your business. Yeah definitely so. I used to be very bad about just giving give give give all the time. We would do workshops and webinars and give away our templates and evokes every every bit of knowledge was just given away and it became really apparent that when we did that just gave engage engage dave. That people didn't really appreciate or even understand the value of what we're giving. And so i had to kind of real that back in and take more control over it so i kind of consider now given like a bite. Size format is appropriate for me. You know if it's gonna take ten minutes show you how i did something or i'm going to write a block goes during or share something like on on Podcasts like this. But if it's i'm going to complete a project for you or i'm gonna take on workload that's not the right fit for me. So if i'm i'm never going to be the person that says. Hey nonprofit. I like what you come in and build you a website. It's just not that's not what's right for me but those kind of more bite size pieces That i can give to be ball and and hopefully help them in that way. That fits really well with my schedule. You know. it's a good break. When i can take that little moment and then it feels good and usually it comes back around. You know people people like people that are nice and so i get lots of referrals and help from the community. I think because. I'm willing to jump in and helpful where i can so Yeah to me. It's not giving away the whole farm because people won't find value in that they typically won't appreciate it but giving just small pieces here and there were eye qian and making it as meaningful as i can and not really expecting much out of it does come back around. Us spoke volumes. There and i won't try to recap is a great job on that. Thank you and and one thing. I just want to go back to. You shared that your profit driven and then you went right into explaining your family situation in your your son and that his needs are the drive behind the prophet and i i see that very much as passionate or compassionate Side of money. It's not. I need money so that i can live a lifestyle or be able to say i made acts or made y this year but it's it fulfilling very real need that a parent has to want to provide for their child. And that's pretty pretty impressive. And i and i love that you just putting it out there that you know. I have to make money. And therefore i don't give away a website to a nonprofit because you know you're no i didn't mean it out but i i. I really liked the way that you qualified the why behind profit. Because money's just a tool and though the way that you described it made it made it very clear that you are a very loving parent. And i respect a lot about you for that and i know you know. Go get me wrong like that and go to the beach a few times here than like nothing wrong. Ain't nothing wrong. Making money to enjoy your life is is perfectly fine and i think i think i mentioned this terror before but there's not a whole lot of role models of people who have been uber successful but even just living a comfortable life with someone that they are going to care for forever. That requires a different lifestyle. Mike what my husband. And i have with my son..

"See people make this transition and it didn't always go well. It was difficult. It was something that they really struggled with. Because you had people that were top performers. That had always done really well and then all of a sudden things aren't working very well for them. And i would see that. There was other marketing companies. Who would kind of come in and at vultures and take advantage of these people and charge them outrageous fees to give them very tempted. You know cookie cutter. Solutions didn't actually do anything to help them. Other business and so now. These people felt like well. I've never marketing budget. And still not getting anywhere with this business. And i'm starting to feel really like i just don't know what i'm doing and maybe i'm not as good at this whole running a business. I thought i would be and so that was really what i was driven by when i started. This company was to provide not only great services to help those people to see that. It's not that they're doing something necessarily wrong with their business or they're not great at what they do. They're not necessarily great at communicating their unique value. And so that that became the cornerstone kind of everything that we do. Everything starts with messaging great content. That makes people really wanna learn more. That says i think you can solve my problems. And i need to learn more about that. And we build out from there for websites landing pages email campaigns nor everything that's going to help them generate more leads for their business. It's so thorough. What you've described. I love your approach and and your enthusiasm about getting messaging out there Can you talk a little bit about how your business has grown. And how you have transitioned into working with different types of clients and how they find you. Yeah definitely so. I think i started like everybody does where it was. You know. outsource your marketing department to me. I will figure out a way to do everything and most of it'll be done pretty well. Maybe not all of it but it'll get done And over the years like everyone does i kind of every year. Try to stop and look at. Okay what am i delivering. That's helping my clients grow their business. You know what's really standing out as something. That's actually helping them. And where can i be profitable and efficient with how i'm delivering those things And also where do i feel really confident right when i sit down to write the proposal from feeling really anxious if i'm feeling nervous feeling like maybe my pricing isn't right. Maybe i don't really know enough about this approach to the solution. Those are things that need to take out of my offering so every year. You know it's it's gotten more and more and more narrow as i look at those things and take away different offerings for example. For a long time we did. Seo part of it in house part of it with an agency that we outsource to and every single time that i wrote one of those proposals i felt really anxious. Because i didn't quite feel like that was our best area that we were really strong there and so we took it away and we're able to focus more on things that we do really well and then let the other work. Go to the people that specialize in those things. I feel like i could talk proposals all day long. But that's not really the focus of our show. I wanna ask you one question about taking. Seo out in not necessarily that. It's seo but you're taking out a service and an freelancers growing their own businesses into businesses and small businesses. You know those little services can be the hook that that may be you know you make a couple hundred bucks on a on an thousands of dollars project on on whatever that little service hook is the decision making well if i can get it all at once. Yeah i'll go. I'll go with heather. I'll go with tara go with liam. it's all in one. How did you approach. How do you approach that. Psychologically when you know you're risking those little you're risking sales and and no k. Probably in retrospect in you're gonna do better because you're not gonna stress about seo in your case But but how do you approach that. How does what does that decision process. Look like for you for me. It's one thing that makes it easier. As i do have a great network so over the years you know you meet other people in this space especially in wordpress community. I mean it's it's kind of like no other business community where everyone really does want to help. Each other and there can be really great positive relationships and so anything that i'm not able to do. I can feel pretty comfortable. That i could go to my network and find someone that can help. Fill that gap and we can do a really good job of integrating with and working well together in at the end of the day if that's not the right fit for a client they really want everything under one roof. Then i'm okay with letting that go At a point now where definitely there were hard times to do that but overtime as you grow and build a reputation and it just becomes easier to to get leads into getting customers. It became something that i was just really comfortable with saying. If if if the way i do business isn't a fit for you. Then i'm not a good fit for you and that's fine and i hope you even find someone who is a good fit but i'm not gonna.
