A highlight from S13 E16: Oliver: Writer, Producer, and Novelist Spotlight
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, don't have regulars, because raisins, as always, unfortunately. As for our guest, he's from Portland, Oregon, currently living in Los Angeles, California, and he is a film producer. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Oliver Tutill Jr. Well, thank you, Peter. It's actually Ted Hill Jr. But thanks for having me on your show. I'm excited to be here. Anytime. So, how's life? It's good. It's really exciting. I love the film business. I've been in the business for quite a while. And it's very exciting meeting different people, talking to different producers, actors, filmmakers, editors, composers, business financing. It's all very exciting. You meet a lot of very interesting people that are very involved in their work and are very creative. Ah, very good. And have you been up to much recently? Yeah, we've been pretty busy. My company's name is Cinema Development and Writing Services. And my business partner is Tara Walker. And what we do is, when we started out, we've had our business about a year now. And anybody that's curious, they can just go to cinema wds .com. That's our website. And what we do is, we work with novelists, and we adapt their novels into screenplays. And then once we've adapted them into screenplays, we've been asked by our clients to, well, can you place this with Hollywood companies? And we said, well, yeah, we probably can, you know, we weren't doing that. We're primarily focused on writing, but we started packaging, which means that we started putting together like a deck of electronic brochure that shows the actors we thought might be good for the role, and what the director is. And then we present it to different production companies, different producers and finance companies in Los Angeles, and sometimes in New York as well. Okay, very nice. And what inspired you to start all that? Well, I think I started out in the business, and so did Tara, we were both actors. And we enjoyed that. But it's, it's very, very tough. Getting regular work as an actor, you go through good times, and then there's these long stretches where you don't have much work. And so we said, Well, how can we get more involved in business? And so we both decided, well, why don't we become producers? So Tara started her own production company years ago called Alpenfest films. And then I started, I started out making a production company called Autumn Tree Productions, where I, at that time, this was in the late 1980s, I pretty much focused on making educational films, and actually was pretty much on emotional child abuse. And I did that for 10 years, I had a lot of success. A lot of my films, educational films are used in universities and colleges and many institutions. And after doing that for 10 years, I wanted to segue over into doing commercial motion pictures and, and documentaries. So I started a company called Bluewood films. And under that name under that company, I produced quite a few films and documentaries and pleased to say that some of them are on streaming platforms now where people can can see them. I just have my newest release was just last month. It's called Crazy Horse of Life, featuring Russell Means, the late Nakoda actor who did very well. Right, then. Very good. And have you ever considered like, releasing any of your work on an international level? Yes, I mean, Crazy Horse of Life is available internationally. They can definitely time to be TV so anybody can go to to be TV and anywheres in the world basically and watch it for free. It's ad supported. And then we've got another film called the right to bear arms, which is a dramatic crime feature starring john savage. And that's available on Amazon Prime and Amazon freebie and also on to be TV. And we've got another film that's distributed internationally. It's also on to be TV. It's called the Loch Ness Monster of Seattle and it features Graham Green, the Academy Award nominated actor from Dances with Wolves. It's been doing very well. My distributor is very pleased. He just sent me a letter the other day and he said how happy is that how well it's doing. So those those three films are available now. We've got new ones that are going to be coming out later this year. We're excited about. Wow, fantastic. So where would you see yourself 20 years from now? Well, that's a good question. And 20 years is a long time. But I would say in 20 years, I'd probably see myself and Tara, my business partner, our own company now, but probably producing eight to 12 motion pictures a year. Also, I'm a composer too. So I probably, I haven't been doing my composing recently, but I've, I've scored a lot of motion pictures and documentaries. And it's a matter of fact, Crazy Horse of Life. The score I did that score and I did actually I wrote the score years ago, but it's used in this big feature now and I scored the movie right to bear arms as well. So but 20 years, I want to still be producing movies and helping actors and helping create jobs for people that work in the industry. You badly because they can't get work. Yes, of course. So I want to provide jobs for people. And also, I'm a novelist as well. And I hope to have a few more novels released. I just had my first novel released by awesome Achilles publishers, which is their home offices in London. So it's definitely an international release. And it's called when the sunlight goes down, goes dark, excuse me, when the sunlight goes dark. And it's about a young, young boxer living in Los Angeles, who has to deal with unscrupulous promoters. And one of the one of the supporting characters in the book is a man from England who who wins one of the heavyweight titles. It's also a book that it also covers worker exploitation, family dysfunction, spousal Okay, fantastic. Yeah, let me just mention, Peter, that people can look at it to go to the website for the book. It's when the sunlight goes dark .com. That's the website for the book. And it's also available on amazon .com and Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, any bookstore, you go into any reputable bookstore, and they can order it for you. All right, then very good. So in terms of your written work, besides what, besides the novels you've just written, are there any more novels you're yet to write or have released? I do have one novel. It's called primordial division. I'm searching for the right agent to rep it. It's kind of a crime horror novel. It's also set in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. And it's about a woman who has the ability to see the future. She's kind of one of these mind readers and the kid, the male protagonist is able to, he's got the power of telepathy. Very good. And it's set in the context of the entertainment industry. Oh, nice, nice. What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation? I'm sorry, say that again, Peter, a 14. What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation? Oh, a 40 minute presentation? I could give it on, definitely, I could probably give it on, I made educational films for 10 years. So I could do on an education, I could do one on the film business. They cover all the aspects of the film business from development to pre production to production to post production, exhibition and distribution. I could do that for you. I've been in the music business since I was a kid. So probably give you a one on that as well. So, okay, very good. What which recent news story have you found most interesting? That's a really great question. The recent most recent news story that I found the most interesting probably would be what's going on with our climate and what's happening to the earth in regards to the climate crisis that's happening in the world today. That's that's one of them, I guess I know it's a big topic, but it definitely stands out. I'm also fascinated by what's going on in American politics today, who's running for president and what's going on in Congress in the Senate. And I'm also very concerned with the state of our country, you know, and how divided people are and how unhappy so many people are. Yeah, absolutely. I was gonna also say to my friends who are very struggling because they have kids, and it's hard for them to get daycare for the kids. So I have one friend, she had to give up work because she, she couldn't afford to hire a babysitter or a nanny or daycare. So yeah, she had to give up her job. Oh, no, that's just sad. Very sad, very sad, the income inequality in this, in the United States. I'm not an expert in your country, but in the United States, it's very sad to see so many people that are divided by class. Wow, I thought the UK was bad. I didn't know that the US has got bigger problems given its size. Yeah, there's a lot of problems. Definitely. We've seen the erosion of the middle class here. You know, it's been kind of disappearing for years. And the income inequality that exists in this country, it's pretty bad. And as well as you know, there was a, I was watching, I was watching News Nation the other night and the big story presented by Chris Cuomo, who's an interesting newscaster, whose brother to his brother to the former governor. And he his top story was these kids that these babies, basically, the toddlers and daycare that died from fentanyl overdoses. And he's all over that. And I'm thinking, yeah, that's, that's tragic. But a lot of people don't want to address what's happening kids into this country, they have many kids suffer from abuse, and how they it's very difficult for them to thrive and survive become and constructive citizens. That that puts something into the country that helps it grow more. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I can share one thing with you, I used to be a teacher. And I taught drama at a film school and a college, as well as film production. And I had a class, this is in Seattle, Washington. And I had a class where I had a quite quite a number of kids that were African American. And I'll never forget this, Peter, because like, they would come to class, sometimes the girls would be crying and go, what's wrong? She go, Well, Joey got killed last night. He said, What are you talking about? She goes, Yeah, Joey, you know, he got on the top of he got on the roof of Dan's car and Dan shot him to death. I said, Oh, you don't read about that in the paper. And then then another day, a girl came into class, she was weeping. I said, What's the matter? And she's when my sister was killed last night. I said, Well, what happened? She said somebody shot to her living room window, and she was killed. You don't read about it in newspaper. Just people don't know about that. Exactly. Yes, indeed. It's the media these days, they only want to show what they really want to show. They don't show the important stuff that goes on like poverty, financial crisis or things that impact a lot of people in this world. Absolutely correct. Yes, you're right, Peter. They don't know it's funny, funny because Chris, it's not funny, but I found it interesting. Chris Como mentioned one night on his show on news nation, he, he mentioned that people don't want to talk about class warfare in this country, you know, what's going on between the classes between the wealthy and the poor, or the struggling lower middle class, you get an idea of it. And now with all the strikes that are going on, you get the writers Guild of America on strike. You've got the screen actors Guild that's going on strike. Now you've got the United Auto Workers going on strike, and it's getting bigger, that strikes growing. And if that strike goes all out, it's going to, it's going to play havoc on the economy here. Yeah, absolutely. What do you disagree with most frequently? What do I disagree with most frequently? Probably people that say everything's going to be great. You know, you just have to hang in there. And also, I find myself disagreeing a lot with financial advisors who say, just, you know, keep it where it is, you know, don't sell, just stay steady, keep your bonds, 40 % bonds or 60 % bonds, 40 % stock or 40 % bonds, 60 % stock. I disagree a lot with financial advisors. Not that I'm an expert in finance, but I'm fascinated by it. I read about it. Absolutely. How much time do you spend on the internet? How much time do I spend on the internet? A fair amount, because I do a lot of research on the internet. And while I'm something to do research on something particular, then then you find, wait a minute, I've got to have to research this more. Then you find yourself going to another page, finding more things to read about. And then you realize you're going to be searching even more on the internet. So and to be honest with you, I spend so much time on the internet as it is on zoom calls. I'm tired of looking at the internet. I prefer reading books. So I read a lot of books. But I've got to use the internet a lot to do research. You know, especially I work with a lot of people that I've got to find out what their background is, you know, in the film business, and the financial business. So I do spend an enormous amount of time on the internet. I imagine you, you do yourself, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Hours upon hours. Yeah, it's a it's a necessity. It's a necessity today without a without a cell phone or computer. It'd be very difficult to survive. I do know some folks in their 70s and 80s. They don't use computers, they don't use cell phones. I do know one young guy who doesn't use a cell phone, but that's very unusual. But it's very hard to survive. I couldn't stay in business if I couldn't use a computer and cell phone. Oh, yes. Sure. It's the same for you. Yeah, of course. The internet is such a necessity. It's part of our lives, in a way. Absolutely. Yes. It is. It's built in. And you read about these kids, you know, they get addicted to their cell phones and computers. And there's so many psychologists that predict they're gonna have trouble with their personal relationships in looking at a screen. They don't spend time in person a lot. I don't know how that'll play out, but it makes sense in a lot of ways. What a world filled with clones of you, what would a world populated by clones of you be like, a world populated by I'm sorry, what what would a world populated by clones of you be like? You mean point of view? And a world populated by clones of you? What would it be like? Oh, clones of me? Yes. Okay, what would I think it would probably be a pretty peaceful world. To be honest, I don't think there'd be any wars, I think war would end. I think children would, we'd set up some type of educational system and change some values in the government in the country so that kids don't get abused, that parents are afforded the education and the training, starting in high school. Probably actually, I take that back, starting in grammar school. How to parent, how to treat other human beings, learning about themselves, becoming self intelligent, learning emotional intelligence, understanding their emotions. And growing up to be citizens that are productive and have empathy for other people. And if this happened, we could, I believe we could end this may sound naive, but I do think we could end poverty in this country. But there's no will to do that. There's no will to help kids because children can't vote. And they're not members of political action committee. So I would, I would make sure that their political action committee is available for children. I would allow children at a certain age if they can show that they have some knowledge about the political system, to have a say in voting, to see who represents them. And I believe with education, and with treating people well, with respect and compassion, having people trained for the type of work that they want to do, that poverty could could be eliminated. And so there are a lot of clones to me, there would be no more wars. And there would be a lot less suffering in the world. Yeah, that sounds that sounds like a very good reason. Thank you. Welcome. What's Education is the key. Education is the key and law. The merging of law and education. And again, unfortunately, the people in power, the bureaucrats and politicians don't have the will or the desire to bring about the needed changes. Yeah, it's so sad. What is your favorite quote? Yes. And probably, I guess it's a quote that is on my mind a lot now, because it's a quote I used to open my novel when the sunlight goes dark about the boxing family in Los Angeles, and the quote is, Oh, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am so meek and gentle with these butchers. And it originally that quote is taken from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar when Mark Anthony is standing over the dead body of Julius Caesar and Caesar has been assassinated. by members of the Senate. And he's bemoaning the fact that he's so meek and gentle with these butchers because he's kind of going along with them at the time. And it's just a quote that just stands out to me because I've used it in my book because I my books about worker exploitation in one way because a lot of these boxers are exploited. And a lot of them end up in not very good shape. Because people aren't looking out for him. So I guess for today, that's my favorite quote. I mean, I have others too. But I guess for today, that's the one that would be my favorite. All right. Very good. And I could you could use that metaphorically, too. I mean, the sense that, you know, Oh, pardon me, you know, why aren't the people that are running the government trying to help the people? Yes, that's a very good question. I'm sure you've run into very similar situations in England. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. All the time. What's improved your wife quality so much? You wish you did it sooner? I'm sorry, Peter, you have to say that one more time. All right. What improved your life quality so much? You wish you did it sooner? well, Oh, I would I would say I spent a lot of time in therapy. I came from a very dysfunctional family. I suffered a lot of abuse, I was put into a private boarding school where kids got regularly beaten very badly. One of the lucky ones, really, I never suffered any permanent physical injury. But I think if I hadn't gone into therapy, and I was in therapy for decades, I'd say that probably the key to my being a functioning productive adult today, that in a book I read, called compassion and self hate, written by Theodore Isaac Rubin, that book changed my life. I never thought a book could change my life, but that one did. Yeah, of course. That and of course, if you're going to be successful, you have to you have to work hard, you have to know where to put your effort, you have to work hard and you have to think smart. I mean, that old saying about if you work hard, everything will fall into place is not necessarily true. I've known, I've had guy friends that have worked hard all their lives, and they've got nothing. Yeah, absolutely. So you got to work smart, as well as hard. Yes. But the more success you realize, it just adds to your happiness and your fulfillment. Yeah, of course. But people need the basic necessities have to be taken care of. You got to have clothes, you got to have proper shelter, you got to have decent physical health. I don't think I've ever met anyone that's happy if they haven't had good physical health. Yeah, of course. How did you spend your last birthday? Well, my last birthday, I had dinner with my business partner and my best friend, Tara Walker. We went to a really nice restaurant down on the beach, had a great dinner. And then went home and watched a really great movie. And it was a great day. And you know, I talked to a lot of friends and family too. I got a lot of calls. Okay. That's cool. It was fun. Oh, yes. It was quite a time. Yeah. You like birthdays? Yeah, I like birthdays. It's pretty cool, I guess. It's funny. I was just reading about Jimmy Carter, you know, the former President of the United States who is a president. And he's going to be turning 99 here in a couple days. And someone called him up, one of his family members said, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. And he said, that's, that's not real good. I'm not really excited about this birthday. I didn't know you even make this far in his life. Yeah, he's going to be 99 years old. And you know, he's been in hospice for seven months. Everyone thought he was going to pass in about two or three weeks and he's still going. Madness. Amazing man. Absolutely. We could use a young Jimmy Carter today. That's for sure. Uh huh. Yeah. That'll be something. It would be. Yeah. Yeah. What's the best way to start the morning? The best way to start the morning is to eat a good breakfast. I know so many people that don't eat breakfast. They have health problems, they're overweight. And I don't mean starting breakfast, you know, eating junk food. You gotta eat something healthy for you. Eat something healthy. Write down the things you need to do today if you have to make a list. Yeah, it helps me a lot before I go to bed to write it to do this. So when I wake up in the morning, I know exactly what I got to do. And I got to feel the body first. You got to take care of the body. I have a friend of mine who's, he had a stroke and he's in the hospital now. He can't barely move. And, you know, he, he didn't have the right diet and he's still a fairly young man. It's very tragic. So feel the body and feed it well. Yeah, absolutely. I'm sure you know, because I could tell you put a lot of hours on your show. Oh yeah. It's, it's quite a process, but it's definitely worth it. Yeah, it's enjoyable. Yeah, sure is. If you could travel back in time, what would decade you want to live in? There's so many decades I would love to live in. There's so many centuries I'd love to live in. It's really hard to pick one, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably say the early 1960s. Sixties? That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's when Muhammad Ali came on the scene and that's when the Beatles came on the scene. To me, that's, I think we'll never see the likes of the Beatles or Muhammad Ali again. Yeah. So one of a kind, they always say. Yeah, but I, believe me, Peter, I'd love to live, I could go back to ancient Rome and be fascinated. Of course, your life expectancy wasn't very long. Oh yeah. Cause Sanitary wasn't up there and the advancement technologies got in the way. Yeah. Everything's like, ugh. I would love to live the life of a Plains Indian in 1840. I think that would be fascinating. It's freedom that people can barely conceive of today. And what a great, got the kids, Indian children back in those days, man, talk about having a great childhood. Yeah, absolutely. And that is all we have for this episode. It was great having you on Oliver talking about your works. You're welcome. And until next time, stay tuned for more.

Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Good morning, Don Bay. Morning, Peter. Morning, Terrence. Welcome back, Tomer Strohle. How are you? Morning to Jacob. Hey, good morning. Took me a second to get the mic off, slow reflexes, got to exercise and back up. What did I miss? I really tried to tune out for like a solid 12 days. Absolutely nothing, Tomer. The price didn't change. And I guess no ETFs were approved and no charges were laid against anybody. And so it's just picked a good two week window to take a vacation, I suppose. Yeah, it's been much sideways crabbing. And, you know, everything that goes along with sideways crabbing. So I've been actually trying to tune out too. Like when I'm not doing the show, I try not to look at Twitter at all. So like my Twitter time is basically doing Cafe Bitcoin now. Well, and like prior to. Prior to Cafe Bitcoin, we also do show prep, which kind of gets me caught up, I hope, a little bit. Yeah, I wish there was an easier way to curate Twitter from all the truly psychotic stuff that's on it, because when I was away, I noticed myself relaxing. And then you come back to Twitter and every tweet seems to be. Some deeply concerning insinuation about something or other. So it just it's really it's really tough to take the constant barrage of the Twitter zeitgeist, which is it may be accurate in many regards, but it's also very impactful on your mental health. Yeah, your mental, spiritual health, emotional health, all that stuff. I wonder, like how much of it is actually encouraged, exacerbated, incentivized by the algorithms and social media? Like if you go and you watch certain interviews with like Ph .D. behavioral scientists who have done interviews with like one of the one I'm thinking of was. I think it was the chief engineer of Facebook who designed the algorithm and they literally said that we tune this thing to show people things that are going to make them upset. And the reason why is this has the highest level of stickiness, meaning like it gets the eyeballs looking at it, it gets people staying on, it holds people's attention. And we're living in the attention economy. Whoever is able to keep people's attention longest wins, so to speak. And it's essentially like constantly feeding people really dysfunctional stuff. It's like Jerry Springer 24 -7. Yeah, there's a couple of really good TED talks about this. And it's interesting now that AI is in the zeitgeist, everybody is focusing on AI, but AI algorithms, not ones that were writing perfectly grammatically correct English text for you or drawing images, but selecting what content to put in front of you have been around for a long time. And this is like the YouTube algorithm, the Facebook algorithm and the Twitter algorithm. And what's interesting about these TED talks that discuss this issue is they point out how you simply optimize for engagement. You tell the AI algorithm, learn what maximizes engagement and put that in front of people to continue to maximize engagement. The AI has no actual understanding of what content is in there, but what emerges is it is exactly, as you said, content that is radicalizing, emotionally aggravating, terrifying. If you're in terror, you keep coming back to the thing to see, is my terror justified? Has the next domino fallen in this disaster scenario that I'm coming? If everything's hunky dory, you don't have to go back and check. But if you're constantly in a state of fear, you are. And that's what ends up being game theoretically or algorithmically what these things put in front of people. So there's one really good scientist who says, you know, if you start to look at vegetarian dishes, it will turn you into a radical vegan by doing these things. Or if you start to look at meat dishes, it'll turn you into a radical carnivore. But it'll just continue to radicalize the content by finding something that's more extreme until it gets to the most extreme thing that it can to keep you on there. And I think that, and again, the AI algorithm isn't conscious. It doesn't know what's going on. It just knows what works and what works happens to be the stuff that is filling and fueling you with terror. And I don't think that there's a solution for that right now. The best solution is some solution that where your attention isn't the business model of the of the entity you're interacting with because you're dealing with something that has artificial and no sense of morality and no sense of understanding even what it means to suffer as a human being to be a human being. So it just does its thing. It's just a machine that does its thing. And the second that you engage with it, you're participating in something that doesn't understand anything about you other than it understands its world, that it's trying to maximize its engagement with these entities on the other end of it. Yeah, and I think we need to ask the question, like, what are the second and third order effects on human culture from this? Like, if you think about it, people are constantly staring at their phones like they're just sucked into them and they're being essentially programmed all day every day. The question is, with what? And, you know, you're starting to see this shift in the in the culture. Like I call, you know, I've talked about this kind of stuff a lot, probably to the point where many people are tired of me talking about it maybe. But like cluster B personality disorder type stuff is it's becoming super common. The behaviors are starting to become super common. Like you at least that's what you see all the time on social media. Like how many people are actually out there that are like this? I don't know what the percentage of the population is, but it seems like that's all you see on social media anymore is these cluster B disordered behaviors. And it's it's really mind blowing. And I wonder, can you take a normal person and expose them to those behaviors? Because that's what's getting the engagement. That's what they're being fed. That's what they're being programmed with. You take a normal person, expose them to those behaviors continuously over and over and over again. Will it turn somebody into somebody who behaves like that? I don't know, man. It's pretty freaky thing to me. And it concerns me a lot because you're starting to see the rise of this.

I'm not even sure because we got a lot of craziness going on right now. Our gas prices are up almost a full dollar here since last week, almost. And I was in California about a week ago. And I think are you guys hitting about six, almost $6 a gallon right now? Yeah, we are. Yeah, it's about five. How do you do it? I mean, honestly, Santa Barbara is a small town, so we don't drive a whole bunch. We don't feel it as much as probably like, you know, our Los Angeles friends. But I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, California is and actually this, this includes Arizona, Nevada, I believe, Washington and Oregon are considered the same sort of gas island. So they are as it has to do with where the oil comes from. It has to do with where they're getting refined. California has all these special additives and regulations that the refineries, these these benchmarks that refineries need to hit. So it can only come from certain refineries. So it limits the supply even more. It's a whole problem. So Charlie will be here in a little bit. He's at the Pastor Summit right now. He's dealing with some stuff. He's taking care of business on assignment, of course, for Turning Point USA, the faith coalition. But we're here. We're going to hold down the fort until Charlie returns. So shoot us your emails freedom at Charlie kirk .com. Let's get into the first topic here. This one, I think we've all talked about it, but we haven't all mentioned it together. This one, the the revenge or should we say the elegy for Willard Romney? Willard Mitt Romney has announced he's quitting the Senate total rage quit right before the 2024 election. So he's going to serve out the remainder of his term. And of course, as befits his character, he's riding off into the sunset by having the globalists at the Atlantic publish a completely obnoxious passive aggressive interview, trashing his colleagues, trashing Trump, trashing the GOP base. So what is the final word on the GOP 2012 standard bearer, the man who was the nominee for president in 2012? And, Blake, I think you actually have an excerpt from the from this article that's by McKay Coppins in the Atlantic. Oh, well, yeah, exactly, Jack. It's it's amazing. So, of course, he's everything about Romney is, you know, the supposed like, you know, politeness and decorum and all the damage that Trump does to our democracy by being always the last Boy Scout. Yeah, yeah, the last Boy Scout. So naturally, what he does is he announces he's retiring. And then, you know, in perfect timing with it, McKay Coppins has this biography that he's putting out that's, you know, all about Romney and has all these like data points in it. And he's basically just like Romney doing like a drive by shooting on other members of the Republican Party as he leaves. Let's see, like one of the lines from it. This is a summary as Axios summarizes it helpfully for us. Romney shares a unique disgust for senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas, who he thought were too smart to believe Trump won the 2020 election. But, quote, put politics above the interests of liberal democracy and the Constitution. And then the even wilder one is for Senator J .D. Vance of Ohio. He says, quote, I don't know that I can disrespect someone more than J .D. Vance. That is a direct quote from Senator Romney describing Senator Vance, who he still has to, you know, share a Senate chamber with for the next year before he actually quits. But, you know, J .D., I mean, can can someone explain what what what is J .D. Vance done in his time in the Senate that's been so ill reputable? It could. Does anyone have what when he went to East Palestine and it seems it seems his crime is that went on there? I'm trying to figure this out. It seems his crime is that, you know, J .D. Vance came out of Ohio. He went to Yale, I believe it was. And then he was in finance and was, you know, and then wrote his memoir, which was very well received. And he's this up and comer on the coast. And then I guess he moved back to Ohio, started doing too many appearances on Tucker Carlson tonight. And like, according to Romney, it was like the transformation was just was just too jarring, like it was too too much of a transformation for for Mr. Romney, who himself has basically transmuted into this like Democrat, I guess. But that doesn't count. This is an interesting this is an interesting take on on all of it. And Andrew, maybe you can give us a sense of it, because what I think that Romney is really upset about here is that he's considering J .D. Vance a class a class traitor. He's calling him a class traitor and saying, look, you're allowed to make money in finance. You're allowed to make go to Yale. You're allowed to go to the great schools. But the one thing and you're certainly allowed to run for the Senate. But the one thing you're not allowed to do is actually go out to the people of your state, listen to the their interests and listen to their issues and then grow and go and try to actually represent them in the United States Senate. This I is think class traitor. I think that's really smart framing, Jack, because at some level, a lot of this is much more about vibe. It's much more about what Mitt Romney thinks is classy versus gross or respectable versus, you know, essentially untoward and beyond the pale. Right. So it's all based on his own little framework of of class structure, of decorum, those sorts of things. So it says here in this, he says he was also highly critical of Senator J .D. Vance, Republican of Ohio, who reinvented his persona to become a Trump acolyte after publishing a bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy about the working class that Romney loved. So Romney loved the book. So at some level, I think it was just like, so I love this book. And how can this kind of become like a Trump bootlicker? Go ahead. Right. So I can there's there and just real quickly, it's kind of like because in the book, J .D. Vance's conclusions, I would say I don't offer this as criticism. I just say it's sort of it's an evolution on J .D. Vance's part because he sort of just says in the book, well, that that sort of that blase classic Republican line of, you know, and everybody just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I can do it. So can you. And we should cut taxes for big businesses and the one percent pays most of the income tax and that that's kind of it. And then when he went to actually run for office and started really engaging with people politically, that's when he shifted, not socially. Right. But he shifted economically to become more of a populist. Blake, what you're saying? Well, what's so telling in this article is like some of the just a little specific anecdotes that it does pick. And I almost wonder if Coppins is like subtly trolling Romney. Apparently Romney lives by himself and his family in D .C. It mentions let me get let me get the line here. It talks about his his his pad that he lives in. And it says the place had not been Romney's first choice for Washington residents when he was elected in twenty eighteen. He'd had his eye on a newly remodeled condo at the Watergate with glittering views of the Potomac. His wife, Ann, fell in love with the place, but his soon to be staffers and colleagues warned him about the commute, which, by the way, it's like a mile and a half to the Capitol. So he grudgingly chose practicality over luxury and settled for the two point four million dollar townhouse instead. And then, of course, this is not good enough for for Ann. So she never visits him when he's in D .C. So it turns into a gross bachelor pad that has it mentions there's crumbs everywhere.

A highlight from 1241. What Does It Mean When Your Favorite Drinking Buddy Is The Cat?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio featuring your dream team veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani and here are your hosts Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. I'm going to go ahead and set the scene right now. Dr. Debbie is chowing down or drinking a drink I guess it's kombucha is that what you call that? Kombucha, yeah! It's a fabulous fermented drink that's got a little bit of vinegar it. to Any alcohol in it? Technically there's a warning on there yeah so but it's not like you drink it to get you know lit it's just it's just a natural process of the fermentation releases alcohols. Can I just say it looks absolutely disgusting. It is there's a sludge at the bottom and so you have to stir it but that's where the good stuff's at. You want that. Are there any redeeming factors of kombucha for animals? Can animals drink kombucha? You know because of the alcohol in there I've never heard of it actually being safe for for dogs but you know if we could develop one for dogs that would be appropriate. I guess the first thing would be would they like it because most kombuchas are kind of citrusy flavored or they have like you know different kind of additives to them that may not be appealing on the canine palette so we might have to find ways to make that a doggy attractant. I don't know. So there's no beef or chicken kombucha? Heck no. I wouldn't drink that. Is it good? Do you drink it because it's good for you? Yeah it's got a lot of live bacterial cultures that are good for your digestive tract. So it's actually in my opinion is better than yogurt because you can't get this amount of active cultures from just eating yogurt without the calories. This is awesome stuff. It's like 50 to 60 calories for a bottle. What about probiotics for pets because there's lots of those out there. That's true yeah and I think that there's a lot of probiotics out there. We just don't really know what cultures are necessarily the best cultures for dogs or cats or people even. I think they're still really looking at that and saying plus there's the problem of getting the probiotic in through the digestive tract and not have it digested. So there's got to be this kind of gets past the stomach and can actually do its work in the digestive tract so not all probiotics are the same. So where do you get this? Do you make it or do you buy it? Some people make it and I just buy it at the health food store, the grocery store. You could buy it everywhere now but it's definitely good for the gut and you know part of your immune system. So it's good for everything. I'm thinking about six years ago when you first came on to animal radio you used to come in with a diet Pepsi one. Yeah I've kind of evolved I'd say. Things have changed. You know who we're going to have on the show today is a lady who makes cocktails for animals for dogs and cats. Okay. I know this it sounds a little strange to me. Alcoholic? Well it's a pet winery and I don't think there's any alcohol involved. No there's no alcohol in it. I have a Fetch Me Noir and it looks like a bottle of wine. It really does. I have a Meow Sling and that Meow Sling looks like one of those little shots that you'd get on the airplane. And I also have a purgandy, a Fetch Me Grigio, a dog teeny, a cat teeny. A dog teeny and a cat teeny. Yeah about everything. I don't understand. So you can include your pets if you're having a party and do it in a safe way. Exactly. So for the holidays you're coming up you can pour a little martini gliese with a little bit of the puppy liquor in there and it'd be a safe alternative. They even have a bark brew if you know if your dog likes prefers beer instead. This is Barktober right? There you go. We're going to talk to this lady who's invented this stuff is that correct? She's coming up in just a few minutes right here on Animal Radio. What are you working on over there in the newsroom Lori? Got a very interesting story. How you you could think you have food poisoning but it's really your puppy that's making you sick. Okay it's your turn to reach out to Dr. Debbie right now in this portion of Animal Radio brought to you by Fear Free Happy Homes. Helping your pets live their happiest, healthiest, fullest lives at home, at the vet, everywhere in between. Visit them at fearfreehappyhomes .com and thanks Fear Free for underwriting Animal Radio. Hey Ted how you doing? Hey fine how are you? Good where are you calling from today? I'm calling from Los Angeles. The LA area listening on coast. How can we help you? The whole team is here for you. Oh thank you so much. I've got the problem with my dog. I've got a pit bull that was left me uh that was somebody my dog was going to sell and she hasn't sold and I've had the dog for years now and I can't get him to stop digging the backyard up. Everything is a nightmare. Okay.

Rep. Chip Roy: How Are We Going to Fund the Government?
"To be on the floor this week and we don't have full agreement here's why because there's a block of conservatives in the in the house who are saying one we to need hold down our spending levels but two importantly we've got to use the power of the purse to force change out of the Biden administration we've got a border that's out of control we've got a DOJ that's out of control and weaponized against the president of the united states average american citizens and atf that's trying to turn out of gun owners we've got a department of defense that's woke it's more concerned about social engineering than the first mission to defend the country so we're trying to force change through the spending and process that's what's at stake right now and look some of us are just saying guys we're not going break we're going to hold the line and say that we've got to get changes out of the senate and the president and that's what's currently being debated as we speak what are the republicans in the senate they're useless utterly I mean look the house is having the debate that needs to be we don't always agree on it but we're having the debate that needs to be had the senate is being utterly useless other a than handful of champions they're obviously led by mike lee um who are trying to do the right thing are already pre -capitulating mitch mcconnell is trashing tommy tuppertill for daring to stare up stand up for life and holding up these nominations at d -o -d uh and he's already trying to preemptively surrender on the spending fight so the senate is not helping we're trying to hold the senate accountable and say guys we're gonna keep fighting in the house um and you know what mark you and i lived through 10 years ago when ted i was cruz's chief of staff to fight over Obamacare and i've had some of my
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Commemorating The 22nd Anniversary Of The Sept. 11th, 2001 Attacks
"It's funny how people lie about actual real world events, even as we witnessed them on video, like Trump's visit to the Iowa football game. And he just got a resounding welcome. And they were trying to pretend he was being booed. You know, because there might have been a smattering of boos or a few people that gave him the middle finger, they wanted to pretend that he didn't get an absolute hero's welcome at the football stadium. And the video showed he did. Even CNN acknowledged it. Screaming, USA! USA! Trump! Trump! Trump! Man, oh, man. Republicans need to focus on Iowa and New Hampshire to try to stop him. I guess that might be their firewall if you're Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley or one of the others. I don't know how they're going to stop him. We shall see. It's September 11th. We're broadcasting from lower Manhattan. It's been 22 years since the September 11th attacks changed our world forever, changed our way of life, changed the way we view, oh, things like freedom. Freedom is on my mind today a lot. And I want to start with a difficult question about 9 -11. You know, 9 -11 spurred the Patriot Act, where the government felt that steps needed to be taken in order to be able to thwart terrorism. And the Patriot Act essentially took away the freedom that many, many Americans had enjoyed. Now, I understand we've got to try to figure out how to battle terrorism. Totally get it. But what I'm not too clear on is when the door got cracked open, where today the government is criminalizing speech to such an extent that they want to lock up the 45th president of the United States. The New York Times did a huge piece. Trump's indictments, key players in the 2020 election effort, it is quite the quite the article. They call out just about everyone in Trump's orbit and essentially accused them of being co -conspirators in a crime to overturn the 2020 election. It's insane. It's insane to witness the absolute destruction of speech in this country. And I want to ask you a difficult question. I want to start with it. Did it begin with the Patriot Act? Did this begin with 9 -11? Because my hunch is it might have. And if so, then Republicans are culpable as well. I think the more immediate place we're at right now is due to COVID. COVID cracked open the door to say, hey, if you question anything about the vaccine or about masks or about lockdowns, we're going to destroy your life. We're going to get you fired. We're going to deplatform you. We might even put lock you up. If you dare, I know a guy who lost a job, a good job, because he expressed a belief on social media that he shouldn't have to wear a mask because his coworkers were triggered by him. Now, he has since sued the employer, and I hope he wins. That's still winding its way, I think, through the legal process. But that's just one example of many. Everybody has an example. Everybody knows an example of somebody who paid a heavy price for daring to open their mouth. It used to be that America is a place where you were allowed to open your mouth. You were allowed to question authority. You were allowed to question any narrative you wanted, and we weren't going to lock you up for it. Democrats in 2016 questioned the election. All of them did. I've played that montage for you 100 times. Hillary, John Lewis, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Jimmy Carter, they all said Trump didn't win. The New York Times isn't doing a big expose on them. The New York Times isn't calling them out. But now they're calling out, and I mean everybody, Ronna McDaniel, Ted Cruz, Mike Lindell, anybody within—in fact, I saw in the comments section of this shocking article in the New York Times, somebody said, well, shouldn't Fox News be next? What about talk radio? Yeah, that's right. The left wants to lock all of us up for daring to express opinions. When did this terrible, dark chapter begin? Was it COVID, or was it 9 -11 and the creation of the Patriot Act? Let's start there. I want to flood my phone lines here on this Monday in the Relief Factor studios with your phone calls. Right here in the Ph .D. weight loss and nutrition phone number, it's 800 -655 -MIKE. That's the way for you to join us. I want you to tell me where you think it began. Did it begin with 9 -11 and the Patriot Act? Because we're in a bad place right now. I just read that New York Times article three or four times in a sense of shock. Could not think they can get away with weaponizing and criminalizing free speech in America. And that's a bad place to be. Let's get your take on it. And again, you're smart. You got the smartest audience in the world. Where did it start? Did it begin with 9 -11? Did it begin with COVID? Did Republicans do enough to stop this? Give me your take on tyranny Democrat Party style 2023 America. 1 -800 -655 -MIKE. 800 -655 -6453. Press 1 to come on air with us. Press 2 to leave a voicemail.

A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 09/11/23
"There stars are in the southern sky and if ever you decide... If my research is correct, this was what the Madison Square Garden crowd heard to begin the show that Mike was in attendance for when he was in New York. I'm just watching guys play tennis, but this is what Mike did. I bet it was awesome. Mike and I were in New York City at the same time doing very different things. Wait a minute. Don't say Mike and I were in New York City. You created quite the drama by your refusal to spend even a second of time with me when you and your beautiful bride were celebrating your anniversary. Well, excuse me for not peeling away for schmooze time on an anniversary event. It took Peg Hudson to set Joe and me straight. Let me give you the backstory. Yes, there's always backstory. Your research is spot on. That was what they opened with. They all lined up across the front of the stage, including the great Vince Gill. Oh my God. That show was unbelievable. I mean, when's the last time you've gone to a concert and for two hours you hear the band just do hit after hit after hit after hit? Who can do that? It's not a long list. The Eagles can do it. And they did it. Opened up by Steely Dan. And in fairness, there's an example, three quarters of the songs, I don't remember it. I never heard of, but there's a couple of hits there for some of the great Steely Dan. And then of course, the Eagles with what was an incredible night at Madison Square Garden. But anyway, you're here, you're in town. I'm in town with Joey and Peg. We're seeing the Eagles and we saw a couple Broadway shows and I figured when Mark and Lisa go do stuff, it's Mark and Lisa time. And I should have known that. So I delicately said, hey, you want to get together for lunch or dinner while you're here? I mean, we don't see each other in person very much. And of course, as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, oh, we're slammed. Thank you. We're very busy. We're very busy. We're slammed. We're a little maxed out here. We're maxed out. And so Joey and I got all up in arms about it Saturday night. My man, my man, buddy card is being revoked. We went to dinner at a place called Centurion, New York, and I had a table set for you and Lisa. I mean, we were in a private room on the 55th floor of one Wondervelt. I'm not kidding you. It was unbelievable. It's this brand new dining experience. And we had a room with a table of six with three of us. And I kept saying, gosh, what, how perfect that would have been for Mark and Lisa to have joined us. And Joey and I started bellyaching about your rudeness. And then Peg says, it took a woman to point out, are you guys high? Right. Well, she says, do you think they want to spend their anniversary weekend with you talking shop? And I said, well, first of all, we're more than just shop. It's not just work. We're friends. Exactly. There's all kinds of commonalities and tastes and the culture in our lives. And we're intertwined, of course, it would have been lovely. But it wasn't because you didn't give us the time of day. I know my priorities. Well, you're right. Okay. I mean, good for you. And I hope you had a lovely weekend. So what exactly should I have given up? Should I have, well, here's a weird story because we thought that one night was going to be at the Arthur Ashe Stadium for tennis purposes. And the other one was going to be at Elio's in the Upper East Side, the restaurant where I proposed to her in March of 2002. So which of those should I have cashed in, you know, go hang out with y 'all as much as wonderful as that would have been. I mean, is the proposal restaurant all that significant? Come on. Yes, it is. But here's what's weird. Here's the weird thing that happened on tennis day. Do you know how weird tennis is trying to attend it? If you want to go to the Cowboys and the Eagles on December 10th, you can get a ticket right now for the Cowboys and the Eagles on December 10th. But if you want to go see Novak Djokovic, which is what my bride wanted to do, because from 10, 15 years ago, we're watching Nadal and Federer, and she just loves these guys. And we have loved watching tennis together on the TV box. And I said, for this anniversary, I'm taking you to the U .S. Open. It's like, great, we'll go see Djokovic or other great players, Daniel Medvedev, the young Carlos Alcaraz, who may be the next Nadal. But if you want to see Djokovic, you can't. He's not guaranteed to play on a particular day at a particular time. You can nail down the day. We did not know until hours ahead of time that Djokovic and Ben Shelton, the American, would be the early match. And silly me, I thought, there's no way. He's got to be the late match. So I bought tickets to the late match at no small expense. But then all of a sudden it's like, ding, ding, ding. Nope. That is Medvedev. He'll be playing Alcaraz at night and beat him, of course, because it was Djokovic and Medvedev. And Djokovic won in the final that we watched last night. It was great. So here's what I had to do. I've never done this before. I'm a big fan of the secondary market. So I had these tickets on Ticketmaster. In the old days. You tell me you sold tickets because I was desperately trying to get tickets to go. I'm going to kill you. What? No. I wanted to go so bad. To the open? I wanted to go to the open so badly I could taste it. And I went on the secondary market. You know, God's been good to me and I have a pretty good living. I ain't spending $14 ,000 a ticket. Okay. You want to talk real dollars? I'm going to do this. I am going to do this for my bride. She doesn't do mink coats or huge jewelry. You know, she's just one of the million reasons I love her. We were in unbelievable seats for the night, for the night one in the hundred level, the loge level. And they were $1 apiece. ,700 $1 ,700 apiece. So $3 ,400 to put my wife and me in these magnificent seats. Then we learned, guess what? Djokovic ain't playing at night. He's playing in the daytime. So now I got to go get seats to that. But here's the thing, since the world expected Djokovic to be at night, that's why those seats were $1 ,700. The moment it was announced, I flip immediately to the day session, got the exact same seats on the other side of Arthur Ashe Stadium for $600 apiece. Boom. Then I sold, with my phone still in my hand, sold the ones that I had bought. Obviously, their price went down a little bit. So I didn't make it all back. But I essentially paid for the other ones with the sale of the first ones. It is a crazy modern world, man. It is a crazy modern world. And heaven forbid you would have said to your talk show buddy, you want a couple tickets to the open because I would have bought them from you direct. I wouldn't even know. Funny, I don't know how to transfer them to another actual human being. Well, there's a way. There's got to be a way. All right. I think there's enough about that. Here's my proclamation. If I come to Dallas for a weekend, I'll make time to see you and Lisa, okay? And I will find a restaurant with a private room and a seat for anybody you want to bring. All right. We'll replicate it, Texas. Let me share with you the sights and sounds of what I experienced this morning walking into work here at 111 Broadway in lower Manhattan. All the police activity as the commemoration, the bell is ringing, observing the moment the flight hit the North Tower. Twenty -two years, Mark. The moment you know well. Boy. You were in the Empire State. Sure was. And we're going to relive that today on the show as we always do. We're also going to play that beautiful faith -filled tribute called Silent Night that our friends at KRLA in Los Angeles made many years ago where God, you just don't believe it, but he has a plan and he is always, always with us, even in our darkest hours. So, you know, Axios had an interesting piece this morning about how young men and women enlisting today and joining the military. They don't have that sense of understanding or recognition of 9 -11. So many people became members of the military because of 9 -11. It was such a movement in this country and it was beautiful and it continues to be. And they're in their mid -forties now. Correct. You know, ish. And you think about, I mean, there are people of legal adulthood, 21 years old now, who were not alive for 9 -11. Absolutely. For them, it's not like it's Pearl Harbor or anything, but it's just something that happened before I was born. I got to wrap my head around that. It's interesting that I heard, that's a second time today, though, I've heard somebody say, well, it's not like Pearl Harbor. I really feel it is. Just to me, it's, maybe it's because of our age and, you know, we run around. Here's the crazy thing. You and I were both born less than 20 years afterward. Correct. After Pearl Harbor. So it was just something that had recently happened. That's right. Had a certain stigma and, you know. So I think about the people who joined the military on behalf of those who died on 9 -11 and fighting for our freedoms, fighting against tyranny. And Mark, I am stunned at the rapid way tyranny has come to our own governance. I read an article the other day in the New York Times. It's an opinion piece, to be fair. Trump indict Trump's indictments, the key players in the 2020 election effort. And Mark, they did one of these and I read it online, one of these comprehensive articles about how everybody who questioned in any way, shape or form the outcome of the 2020 election is a co -conspirator in the election denialism that is traitorous, that is traitorous, that's treason. Now, attack on democracy. Right now, never mind all the Democrats, including Hillary on down, who lined up in question the outcome of 2016. I guess that doesn't count. I'm sure the New York Times didn't do, you know, an extensive piece on this, but they've got everybody ensnared in this, Mark. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley. We saw Lindsey Graham almost got indicted in Fulton County. And all they were doing was saying, what happened here? And exactly daring to inquire. And that has become a tactic of the left. And I think COVID, tell me if you agree with me, COVID broke the door open on this. If you dared question the vaccine or if you dared question the lockdowns, you were shut down. You lost your social media status. Some people lost their jobs. Look at the, look at all the airline pilots we lost because they wouldn't get vaccinated. And that kind of opened the door. And now it comes to the, to election integrity and the New York Times and people who think like them want to weaponize our free speech right to question anything. And criminalize it. And so your metaphor is apt. It absolutely is. And I hope it goes a similar way that the COVID extremism did. And that is that the pendulum swings. And now we have relative rationality, even though I did see in New York City, people walking around by themselves in Washington Square Park, wearing a mask outside. But not many, right? Not very many at all. Listen, I almost wanted a mask to keep away from the weed smell. I asked a New York City cop, what's with the weed? And he told me, he said, look, it's legal. You can't have enough where you're trying to sell it. You can't give it to kids, blah, blah, blah. But it's pretty, and I said, has it been a problem? He said, not really. He said, I don't like it either, but it's people doing, so, but not to divert. So your metaphor is apt. I hope that the pendulum swings, as it did with COVID, and I hope it does it maybe even quicker because the, because the Fauci's and the various other people who hit us with this have been proven so terribly, terribly wrong and corrupt so relatively quickly. I hope that can happen on weaponization of election. Well, Mark, there's reason to be optimistic. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling, huge win for free speech where this appeals court upheld the prohibiting government officials from communicating with social media companies. There was a preliminary junction. The defendants include Joe Biden, the U .S. Surgeon General, the Health and Human Services Secretary, and the courts are agreeing that it is absolutely unlawful for government officials to try to censor speech on social media. Of course it is. Well, it took a long time. Sure. Well, listen, justice delayed is justice denied. But that's the pendulum swinging. And I hope you, speaking of New York, I hope you saw the New York -based shrews over on The View Friday, Anna Navarro and the rest of them now complaining about the illegals in New York City saying they need to be resettled elsewhere. Anna Navarro and the rest of them on The View want to kick illegals out of New York. How unwelcoming. Oh, how well, how unchristian -like of them. But listen, I heard somebody say this somewhere else and it's true. People like Greg Abbott and others have called Eric Adams bluff. Yep. We've called their bluff. We've said, all right, you want to be a sanctuary city? Here's what it looks like. This is it. Welcome to Texas. Every day, the amount. Welcome to El Paso. And, you know, so golly, I hope the pendulum is swing. Great to have you back. It is wonderful to be back. Great to kick off a big, big week. I'll be in Philly tonight for a big event with Dennis Prager and Pastor Robert Jeffers. Faith and Freedom Coalition event. And then back here on in New York Tuesday and then back to Florida. So, OK, this is crazy. Mr. Acela corridor. You're in Philadelphia for an event tonight. I'm on the 115 Acela. I love that train. In the morning? 115 this afternoon. To get there. But where are you doing the show tomorrow morning? From Philly, from AM 990. And then taking the Acela back. And I have to admit, I'm not a big train travel fan. Yep. I like that Acela. Yep. Pretty cool. And, you know, I think I've got to be in first class just so I can, as an observer, experience what that first class experience must be like. If you're going to do it, do it. You might as well go up front, you know, and or actually in the back. Sometimes the first class on the Acela is on the way in the back. But I still like walking over to the cafe car and getting a hot dog. Kicking it old school. Absolutely. Yeah. Love it. Love it. Big week. All right. Happy Monday, my friend. Happy Monday.

Mark Levin: Remove Any Republican Who Is Against Biden Impeachment
"Show hosts refused to involved get in campaigns. I changed all that with a tea party over ten ago years and even before where I got involved in a lot of campaigns. Ted Cruz, Rubio, Marco Mike Lee I can begin to remember everybody. Although Rubio doesn't talk to me anymore. I have no idea why these people do what they do. I don't know. I'm Maybe too hot. I don't mean that way I mean this way. Alright but that's not what I want to get into by and the way in Florida I mean the Gulf Coast got whacked not long ago getting whacked again starting tomorrow morning. It's so nerve I understand that and so you're going to see the leadership capabilities yet again of DeSantis. Not talking, not the gift of gap.

A highlight from Faith in the Great Outdoors: Pete Rogers Inspirational Journey
"This episode of RadCast Outdoors is brought to you by P .K. Lures, Bow Spider, and High Mountain Seasonings. Fish on! Hey, RadCast is on! Hunting, fishing, and everything in between. This is RadCast Outdoor. Here are David Merrill and Patrick Edwards. Well, hello and welcome, guys, to another episode of RadCast Outdoors. I'm super excited. We have Patrick fresh off the road. He's in the studio once again. Whirlwind of a life, huh? Yep, back in the hot seat, ready to do some more podcasting, though. We have full -time lives and jobs and families, so it's still awesome to get to sit down, do these episodes, get into topics that, and meet people we'd never get to meet. Right, exactly, that's the best part, is meeting people you would never otherwise run into, so today is no exception. So it's a privilege to introduce a true Renaissance outdoorsman, a passionate advocate of faith and nature, Pete Rogers, with a background that seamlessly blends education, spirituality, and a deep love for the great outdoors. Pete is synonymous with storytelling, inspiration, and connection. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, a holder of a master's degree in divinity, Pete's journey is a testament to the power of determination. He's not only found his voice, but has become an acclaimed keynote speaker, outdoor writer, author, and host of the Christian Outdoor Podcast.

It resonates with over 1 .5 million subscribers worldwide, reflecting Pete's unique ability to guide us in enjoying God in every day. From hunting, fishing, and hiking, and camping, Pete immerses himself in the marvels of God's creation. Today, we're honored to have Pete Rogers join us, ready to share his journey and passion. Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show, yeah. Hey guys, thank you for having me very much. What an introduction, man. I feel like I got a lot to live up to after reading that. Good, you should. Very humbling, very humbling. Really great to be here, though. If you weren't nervous beforehand, you are now, right? Oh, very much so, yeah, very much so. You'd think after doing this so long, you wouldn't get nervous, but you still do a little bit. It is a little harder to sit in that seat than it is this one, I will say that. It really is, it is, it is, yes, it is. Why don't you start by just telling us a little bit about your background and your journey, and kinda how you got to where you are now. That would be awesome. Okay, well, this is an hour podcast, right? So how much time do I have? Cliff Notes version, Cliff Notes. It's been quite a ride. God has really led me in ways I never anticipated going from years ago. And one of the things I like to share when asked that question is, when I was a developing young man, puberty and teenager and so forth, I have very severe speech impediment, and to the point I couldn't speak at all out loud. And I definitely couldn't read out loud. I could read, but I couldn't read out loud. And it was very debilitating to the point where, you know, you stutter so badly that no one wants to have conversation with you, so you're kinda ostracized. This is bad before we labeled bullying, bullying, right? This is just what it was. And it was so bad, just a little funny sidebar here, is I played football in high school and I was a quarterback, but I couldn't call the plays in the huddle. So our coach would send in players after every play, and they would call the play in the huddle. And then one of the running backs would do the, I couldn't even do down set hut or any of that, because there was a lot going on, I was nervous. And so all that would happen and I would just run the play. It's been interesting that I started there and now I make my living as a podcaster and a keynote speaker and how God has brought me there and all the things that he has done to enable me to get there is really just a testament of his grace and his power. It's not anything that Pete has done. Yeah, I went to speech therapist and I learned techniques and learned certain ways of not overcoming more of masking and being able to do things. Obviously I'm speaking now without, y 'all don't hear the stutter, but I feel it. And I hear it in myself and I feel it. When I'm editing my shows, I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe it. It takes me forever to edit my shows, trying to cut all that out so people don't hear it. But yeah, so that's part of that. And then a lot of people, I wish I could point to, this was what made me decide I wanted to do it, but I didn't. I didn't grow up in an outdoor household. My dad didn't hunt, he played golf. He, I mean, never went hunting or fishing with my dad and my grandfathers were both deceased before I was born. So I didn't have an outdoor mentor. It was Ted Carasote and Jim Zumbo and Terry Madewell and Jim Casada. And reading these guys in these magazines are the ones that instilled the fire in me to want to, oh man, I want to go do that. I want to go chase that critter. I want to go fly in and fish on these Canadian lakes. But the fish have never seen a lure before. It lit just a fire in me to, you know, I had a friend tell me one time that he said, Pete, the good Lord blessed you with too much drive and ambition. My wife says I'm bullheaded and a workaholic, but I'm gonna go with too much drive and ambition. I like that better.

Riley Gaines and Keith Olbermann Hurl Insults on Twitter
"So low you can't trip over them. Right. And for him to just so. Oh. Just perfectly deliver on that expectation that is so low. I couldn't have guessed. I wouldn't have known the specificity, but he did not disappoint. But actually, because I was looking at the Riley Gaines thing, I really realized quickly I was going to have to go to her platform to see what actually happened. And very quickly I did. The Ooperman reply was to a Riley Gaines saying, post and this was Riley's post, defining women or defining woman equals ridiculous to state Senator Megan Hunt. Remember that next election Nebraskans. Megan Hunt is a Nebraska state senator and issued that statement in opposition to the governor's executive action enacting the Women's Bill of Rights, which defines a person's sex as male or female at birth. Oh, of the audacity of Nebraska's governor affirming not gender one's fluidity, but affirming actually ideology, affirming science, that crazy Nebraska governor and that crazy Riley Gaines. There's people. So anyway, the Ooperman replied to Riley when she posted that message, quoting him. Can you just address that? reality and move past it. You sucked at swimming. That's why you lost. Now, it's about at this point where also contrasted with what he had most about the Ted Cruz comment, I actually just kind of felt sorry for the guy. And this happens a lot

What Bitcoin Did
A highlight from The Growing Culture War with Konstantin Kisin
"Yes, freedom has trade -offs. Freedom will mean you're less safe, and freedom will mean that some people say things you don't like. I'm okay with that, because I don't want to live in totalitarian China, and I don't want to live in Soviet Russia. If you do, that's fine. Go there and live there. Hello there. How are you all? I am on my final day of my holiday in Ibiza. It's been nice to have a break. It's been very sunny, but it's been eventful. I've lost my passport and it's stolen from my car, which has been an absolute nightmare. I've had to go to the consulate to get a temporary one. Now I've got to head up to Peterborough tomorrow to get an emergency passport ready for me to head out to Australia in a week. Speaking of which, are you coming? Are you in Australia? We've got our event on September the 9th. We've got Nick Bartier, Willy Woo, Checkmate, Russell Russell, and Dan Roberts all on stage. If you want to get a ticket to come to that, please head over to WhatBitcoinDid .com and click on WBD Live. Anyway, welcome to the WhatBitcoinDid podcast, which is brought to you by the legends of Iris Energy, the largest NASDAQ listed Bitcoin miner using 100 % renewable energy. I'm your host, Peter McCormack, and today I've got a show I've been trying to make for a long time. Konstantin Kissin is a British Russian satirist and one of the best commentators we have over here in England. You may have seen him online. He did a very, very cool speech. I think it was at the Oxford Union. I may have that wrong, but definitely worth checking out. Now, Konstantin likes to challenge narratives and talks a lot about wokeism, climate change, politics, and any kind of societal issue, really, and I've wanted to talk to him. Although this isn't strictly a Bitcoin show, it does cover a number of the topics which I feel are kind of siddle alongside the things that Bitcoins worry or think about. So, yeah, we had this chance to sit down for an hour and shoot the shit, and we got into all kinds of things this interview, and honestly, I feel like we only just scratched the surface, so I will definitely try and sit down with Konstantin again in the future. Now, if you've got any questions about this or anything else, please do drop me an email. It's hello at whatbitcoindid .com. Good to see you, Konstantin. Good to be with you. Yeah, thanks for letting us use your studio for this. Oh, it's a pleasure, man. Thanks for coming over. No, beautiful drive. I've been really keen to talk to you for a while, firstly because I mainly talk to Americans. But I'm Russian, so it's a bit different. You've gone to the other end. Yeah, I know you're Russian, but you're basically in the UK. You understand? Yeah, I'm British as well, yeah. But I'm going to praise you a little bit here. You've become kind of one of my favorite commentators in the UK, because I think, one, you recognize the issues. Two, you're not a crazy right wing. Three, I don't feel like you are trying to stoke a culture war to grift people, and I think your observations are excellent. I thought you were great on Rogan. I really enjoyed your interview there at Weinstein recently. And so I've just been keen to talk to you for a while. If we don't bring up Bitcoin, that doesn't matter. OK, well, that's a relief, because I know very little about Bitcoin. I always tell the story whenever people ask me about Bitcoin that I bought, you know, everyone's banging on about Bitcoin. This would have been probably 15 years ago or something. And I was like, you know what, let's put some money into it, see what happens. So I think I bought about $400 worth of Bitcoin. And when the value doubled, you know, with any investment, if like the value doubles on something as volatile as a cryptocurrency, you're going, well, you know, I've done well here. So I sold it 400. I had half a Bitcoin, half a Bitcoin for $400, and I sold it for $800. Well, so the point of that story is I know fuck all about Bitcoin. Well, I sold a lot of Bitcoin for a lot less than that at different times. Yeah, it's everyone's got a Bitcoin storyline. Yeah, we might get into it. But you know, it's interesting you mentioned that I'm not crazy right wing. I actually don't think of myself as right wing at all. And I'll tell you why. Because all of the things that people might now say make you right wing. I don't know how old you are. I suspect we're probably similar age. I think a bit older. I'm 44. I'm 40. So when I was growing up, and in fact, when I was a young man and a young adult, you know, thinking that there's a difference between men and words, or that countries, of course, should welcome immigrants like me, but we should have borders that are enforced. Right? These were all things that Barack Obama and I agreed on, you know what I mean? And so unless Barack Obama has become right wing, I don't really think of myself right wing as right wing. And of course, the issue that I principally started talking about when I used to be a stand up comedian was freedom of expression. And I always thought of that as an extremely liberal value that is what we protect in the West. And that's kind of one of the things that makes the West unique and special. So I don't think of myself as right wing because none of my views are right wing. It's just what's happened is a bunch of crazy people have taken the left off the deep end. Whereas I've stayed exactly where I've been. Do you know what I mean? So I'm very relieved because to hear you say you don't think of me that way, because quite a lot of people would like to think of me as on that side of the political spectrum. And many of them are on that side. Conservatives want, they keep thinking that I am one of them. And look, I've got wonderful conservative friends, but I always kind of have to put that disclaimer in because I really believe in creative destruction quite a lot. Conservatives often want to keep things exactly as they are. I think creative destruction is important. Coming from a comedy background, I think having a sense of humor is important and conservatives can do, but not always. So I'm relieved about that because that's a big frustration of mine, the way that the political climate's changed, where like having some very normal common sense opinions has become controversial. So in many ways, it's not that I'm grifting, it's that the world around me has put me in a position where it's like saying some really obvious and normal things makes you controversial. Well, if that's the situation we're in, fine, I'll say those controversial things. Yeah, but I also think you're framing things in a rational and reasonable way. And I don't think you're trying to inflame situations where some people are discussing the same issues that you're discussing. I think they are trying to inflame the issues and they're being provocative. And I don't think you are being provocative. And I think that's why I've enjoyed following you and regularly just having to look through your feed on Twitter, see what you're, I mean, I look today, I forgot the comedian, the Scottish comedian's name, but in relation to Rosanna? Yeah, Graham Linham, he's Irish, but he's one of the best comedy writers we've had. He wrote The IT Crowd, Father Ted, all sorts of things. And yeah, the show that he was part of has been canceled in Edinburgh, that's what we've been. But you wrote a long and very kind and well -structured response to her. And that's what I think has been missing in the discourse is that I don't think anyone who's done that has actually managed to break through. All that's managed to break through is people who maybe are inflammatory, who are overly provocative, who are trying to stoke a culture war. And you may say it exists, but it's, you go to America law, I go to America law. It's certainly not like it is in America. I would hate that to come here. Well, I think it has come here, unfortunately. I think that we are in a place, I always say this when I'm in America, whatever you guys flush down the toilet in the UK, we get served for breakfast the next day. And I do feel that that's happened. I mean, obviously you mentioned Graham Linham is controversial because of his views about transgender ideology and various things to do with that. And we've had that issue. Now I actually think on that particular issue, we're doing much better now because the Tavistock clinic where a lot of these surgeries were happening has been shut down as a result of various investigations into it. We have an interview with Hannah Barnes coming out, who's a Newsnight journalist who wrote a book about what was happening there. Um, so in, in many ways, I don't think we can avoid the reality that we now live in a kind of almost shared media space with the U S and we inevitably get caught up in many of the conversations. I don't know if you've noticed, but abortion, for example, I think when you and I would have been growing up here, it wasn't really an issue that anyone debated or talked about. It was kind of a settled issue. Um, it's increasingly not. And I think that's partly because we're downloading a lot of our sort of memes from America. Yeah. I don't think people fully understood though that we, we have pretty established abortion laws here in the UK. And so I'm, I've not seen that becoming a, an issue of debate. Am I missing something? Yeah, it will definitely, you will see that coming through increasingly. Yeah, for sure. Interesting. Well, um, well let's like say, I mean, it is great to talk to you. Um, I know you focus a lot on the issues of woke ism, um, and the kind of pervasive effect it has been having on society. Um, but my hope is here in the UK, we can be a bit more civilized, rational, reasonable about dealing with these issues because my, my thoughts on when I see everything in America is everything seems to be a binary argument and that nuance middle ground where issues are discussed tend to be missed. And I think I found that that's where even if you hold a firm position, you are also diving into the nuance a bit and having a rational argument. Yeah. Well, look, I believe in persuading people. I think that's how you change the culture. Um, you, you have to meet people where they are and persuade them. And one of the great things about trigonometry over the last five and a half years, we've had people on the show who've persuaded us and have changed our minds about issues. So I know from personal experience that people when exposed to rational argument that's made without cruelty or without malice, uh, many people, if they give it the time to actually think it through will change their perspective if they're presented with a coherent argument. Um, you know, and so I've always tried to combine that with a bit of humor and a bit of levity, um, and some facts, you know, which I think is important. And that to me is the way that if there is such a thing as a culture war, which in my opinion we are in, uh, then the way that gets one is by persuading most people who've got, you know, people have got families and jobs and sick parents and kids that need to be taken to football or whatever. Most people don't have time to delve deeply into obscure some issue that affects, you know, 1 % of the public. However, I think there are some issues on which it becomes important to win the debate, to win, to win the argument. And in my opinion, the way to do that is by coming across as reasonable and rational. But look, I understand as well, you know, on some of the stuff that we talk about, you know, for me, for example, uh, my family, uh, fled the Soviet Union because they were punished for speaking their mind. I have a bit of a sensitivity when it comes to seeing people shut down for expressing opinions that some people don't like. To me that I, do you see what I mean? That's like a bit of a trauma spot almost for me. Well, I'm in a five year lawsuit for a number of tweets. Oh yeah. Yeah. So, uh, you know, I, I, that's my biggest envy of America is their first amendment protection. I'm the same. So when I see stuff like that, it sends me up the wall. And so I do understand people who are outraged about things. My feeling though, is that that is an unproductive way of being for you as an individual, first and foremost, it doesn't make you feel good. It doesn't make you a constructive person in the world. It doesn't make you a good parent or a good husband or a good anything. And so more than anything, my journey personally has been to kind of, uh, be more, more relaxed and more understanding of different perspectives and whatever. And then I think you're much more able to persuade people who don't already agree with you. So for example, after my, uh, speech at the Oxford union, which did very well, I had, you know, Hollywood love is reaching out to me going, you know what? I really liked what you said about this people that you, you know, no one listening or watching to this, uh, listen to this or watching this would have thought would have anything to do with me or what I'm saying. Um, and that to me is really gratifying because look, sometimes you have to rile up your base and there are people who will do that very well. For me, I think we have to win the argument. We have to remind people how valuable it is that we have what we have in the West and that in our desire to perfect our society, we don't throw the baby away with the bathwater. So when you mentioned early, you've had some people on who've changed your mind on things like what stands out for you? So we had a very controversial, um, women's rights campaigner called Posey Parker, uh, early on in the history of show, this is 2018. Uh, I know it feels like we're banging on about trans all episodes, but since you asked me, I'm just telling you one of the most, it's also one, it's probably the most of one of the most watched into, I think it is the most watched interview on our channel as well, because what you see is Francis and I, my cohost, two comedians wading into an issue, which at the time nobody was really talking about. And we are coming at it with a set of, you know, ideas about being compassionate and not offending people and whatever. And you see this woman come on and be very clear and basically win the argument against us on our own show and change our minds. And what was her argument? What was the competing argument? Well, I think people should go and watch the interview. Uh, but her argument, the title of the episode is trans women aren't women. Okay. Which for us two comedians at the time operating on an extremely progressive comedy circuit was like, I remember we were like strategizing is like, what happens? I mean, I'm guessing that we were thinking, well, you know, this video will probably get taken down. Our channel might get taken down. What are we going to do? And we were thinking about that ahead of time. Cause we knew it was controversial, but we also felt a duty to the truth. And the truth was that she made sense. And most of the arguments that we put forward to her as devil's advocate or counterarguments didn't stack up to the reality of what she was saying. Right. Uh, and I think that is it. And that is probably why it's one of our most, most watched of episodes because you're seeing good faith engagement between people trying to get to the truth in which they actually get closer to the truth, you know, and you don't see a lot of that happening because in most of our public discourse, public conversations, it's like, you've got two people with rigid positions coming together to have a bitch fight. And it wasn't that at all. And, and, you know, for that reason, I think it was very transformative, but then, you know, you, you talked to all sorts of people, um, uh, many of our guests have really opened our eyes to different things. So, uh, that's really one example that I would give. Yeah. And it's interesting because you say there, you were worried about, uh, on the comedy circuit, the, uh, reactions to people you're worried about your channel. And so there's almost that, that, that fear that puts you in a position to, we need to self -censor. Yes. Which itself is a horrible form of censorship, uh, censorship. I self -censor, uh, self -censor all the time on Twitter. I always think I, you know, I think I'll probably just discuss that in private with my friends. There's certain discussions, debates that you want to have that you just aren't willing to have in public because it's not that I don't believe my points of view. It's almost like I don't, I haven't fully formed them. You have to almost debate them to get to the point where you formed them, but if you can't debate them in public, you have to debate them privately. And this is why I think free speech is so important. And I think it's, it's such a, it's so sad that we don't have it here because we're not allowing people to, to find that truth. That is such a profound point. And I'm really glad you made it. I actually have a whole chapter in my, in my book about language. And this is one of the things that people are not willing to recognize quite often, particularly the people who are more on the side of preventing certain conversations from being had, which is you have to speak to think, and therefore not everything you're going to say is going to come out as a fully formed, perfectly phrased, exactly carefully calibrated thing, particularly in text where you miss most of the communication that's happening between human beings, which is visual and your tone of voice and the way your face looks when you say it and all of that. And it's condensed into a very short message for which for any nuanced issue is not enough characters. Um, but I agree with you, man. We have to be able to have conversations, particularly about contentious issues because they're contentious for a reason, which is that people do not agree, right? And so how do you get to a position where everyone's views are properly formed and taken into account when it comes to making government policy or public opinion about things and whatever. The only way that happens really is if you have honest discussion and conversation. Now, social media is not the best platform for it necessarily in the sense that it's conducted in public and that creates a set of perverse incentives for people to look good at the expense of others. Uh, but I, I think we're in the early stages of social media. We as human beings haven't really, it's kind of like cars, but without seat belts yet, you know, uh, I think over time we will hopefully work out ways of communicating online that are more conducive to healthy conversation. And part of that comes from, uh, you know, all of us working out, well, what is it that I really want to say? You know, mentioned it was kind of you to say that reply I had to Rosanna this morning. I have to be honest and say that three years ago, I would have phrased that very differently. I would have just been like, look, how do I make her look stupid? Blah, blah, blah. Cause that's how, that's how you get attention online. And then it's the perverse incentives that it creates. But I think as you will know, as your audience grows and your platform grows, you do feel a sense of, you know, it's important to say the truth, but it's also important to be responsible with what you're saying, which makes it easier for people to hear. Well, I sometimes feel like that, um, making someone look stupid on online, it's a bit like smoking. Yeah. It might feel good instantly, but after you feel that kind of dirtiness afterwards and you know, I'm a hypocrite. I do it sometimes. Yeah. Other times I, you know, try and do a, uh, uh, you know, more like you try and have a constructive discussion with somebody, but just back to that point of fully forming your arguments is it makes me think to my children, right? I mean, mine have been older than yours. I've got a 19 year old and 13 year old, but I still consider the 19 year old a child. And even though he's an adult legally, you know, we don't cancel our children from a very young age. I mean, the first time your child swears is hilarious. And then you teach them not to swear and, you know, they start to form ideas about the world and you help shape them. If you think they're going in the wrong direction, I don't think that should stop when we become an adult. I think that should carry through the entirety of your life is trying to figure these things out. And I think one of my biggest problems we have in the UK is we don't have enough high quality public debate. This can happen. It can happen on your show, but it's still kind of in the shadows. I, you know, I could watch something like question time on newsnight and I still feel like people are holding back. Yeah. Well, they are holding back as someone who's done those shows. I can tell you. Well, look, I also think, you know, um, I'm increasingly moving away from the perspective on this that I had probably for the first three to four years of us doing trigonometry, which was about, look, all the mainstream institutions are corrupt and captured by this worldview, whether you want to call it radical progressivism or whatever. And I'm not saying that as someone as an outsider, I used to go into the BBC and still do. I used to do, and this was before I had any profile, which made it easier. So, you know, I've got dark skin, first -generation immigrant, foreign name, blah, blah, blah. And they would automatically assume that I was one of them. I thought like them, you know, diversity, inclusion, and equity. Right. And when they speak openly behind the scenes about how they see the world, you're going, this institution is completely captured, right? It is riddled with a particular mindset.

The Republican Establishment Is Mostly Flatfooted
"More over unlike the Democrat Party the Republican establishment would rather betray its own base conservatives and try marginalize to it than battle the Democrat Party preferring to make appeals to the Democrat Party media demonstrate their supposed bipartisan common sense in pursuit of temporary political power and positive media coverage Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and the likes of Mitt Romney Susan Collins Lisa Murkowski Chris Nunes Hutchison Asa and Chris Christie are but a few contemporary examples of this defeatist mindset it is also one reason why and they Republicans like them constantly target Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Cruz, Ted Mike Lee and others who understand the nature of the threat and are willing to confront it takes uncommon fortitude, principles and foresight to recognize and engage the Democrat Party its surrogates and the American Marxist movements in addition to literally putting your career and freedom on the line you must deal with a rear guard action from the Party Republican even with all this I don't believe it can be said that the the Republican Party as an institution hates America or exists to again fundamentally transform America . it's not the home of the various Marxist movements that plot daily and in a thousand The Democrat Party seeks to effectively sideline the Republican party with repeated efforts to
Lets Be Frank Podcast - Men's Mental Health
A highlight from Eddy Smits - Finding The Inner Clown
"So that's where I, that's what I'm, that's what I do with my, the people that I work with and see the gift in things, try to see the gift. And I work with that and it is, it's staggering how people really very soon see gifts in things. But you have to point them out, right? They won't find them for themselves. You have to say, calm them down and say, okay, let's talk about this. Where's the gift in this? And in the beginning you say, you're crazy, there's no gift. At this, this, they are even angry, they are really angry. And at some points they change. And after the conversation they say, okay, I'm, I'm, this is actually, this is good, this is maybe not that strong. But they say, okay, now I'm, I'm, I can move on, I can move on. It's that tunnel vision we get when we, when we talk to someone. So for example, for, for myself, if I'm having a really bad day, it could take me a while to realize what the trigger is or what's going on. Because within myself I get very tunnel visioned. Whereas if I'm talking to someone like a guest or Ryan or someone else, I instantly see it because I'm allowed to sit back and look at the whole situation. And that's what we don't do as individuals. We don't look at the whole situation. We just focus on the, the here, the now, the one thing. And before we come on to what you're doing now with the TED Talks and the, or the leadership and the development and that for people, I want to throw a bit of a curve ball. And I want to ask, with regards to your younger years when you started, was, was there any times you used your profession as a clown or the thoughts of being a clown to kind of hide any of your own inner demons, inner emotions, what was going on? Was that like a mask for you, say, or, or not? Constantly. I did it constantly. I did it constantly. I used humor to talk myself out of everything. I had a, I had a, I actually had a very pleasant childhood. But trouble started with me around 16, 17 years old. Then, then I started to be really troubled, really dark, blaming people. And that lasted, actually my clowning helped me out of that. But still, until this day, I sometimes hide my feelings by laughing about them. So people say something about you and you're not really in a good mood or you have some problems or whatever. But still, until this day, that's my defense mechanism. And, and that's also say people, what I hear very often is, oh, we can't read you. You seem to be always happy, but we can't read you. So that is, until today, still a defense mechanism from me. I'm trying to, I'm getting better and better at it in, in, in being who I am also in, I don't like people actually also. Don't get me wrong. I'm not, I'm very unhappy going to, yeah, very unhappy. This is great. This talk, this is great. But I'm very unhappy going to network events, going to where people are, going to the movies, going to all these things, parties, yeah, with a little, with a few glasses of wine, it's better. But actually I don't, I don't like people. I love to be on stage and I love to entertain people and I love to get really close to people also. But, but generally I have a problem with, with like, like, yeah, like network events. That's not my, that's really not my thing. I can't be myself. Let's, let's put it that way. I can't be myself at network events. I am exactly the same. Um, it's, it, it's strange because I do this podcast, I chat with people and if I'm, if I'm talking about like mental health, talk about my story, I'm quite open. I could talk about it because I've got a passion. I've got an understanding. There's no kind of fear there about that, about this topic. But within day to day life, for me to go up to someone and say, hello, how are you? Or, you know, but someone bump into me and ask me a question. I, my social anxiety is, is, was really bad and recently has got really, really bad to the point where we went to a networking event, myself and Ryan again to push what we do and to learn what other people do it. And I had a kind of an, a mini a panic attack and I was on the verge to like, this is not right here. And for me, now I'm talking more about mental health, learning more about it. When I come away from that situation, I can kind of look back and go, right. I nearly had a panic attack. Why is that? Well, okay. Part of me as a person, I'm, I'm not interested as I say in bullshit conversations. I'm not interested in the hello, how are you's. I'm not, I know that sounds bad as a person, but that's just me. That's just what I learned from my counseling. And it's like, yeah, it is how you, how it is in that. And again, people got stories, this sort of stuff I love, but then you look at the aspect of right. So what is that fear with the social anxiety when you go into that kind of motion? So, so for yourself, Eddie, if you're like, right, tonight, I'm going to the movies instantly. If you're having them faults already of like, I don't want to go, I know it is. I'm not, I'm not great in them situations. Then them faults are going to have effects on like your feelings. And then the feeling is going to have effects on your behavior, which is what then show as like, I really fucking don't want to be here right now. This is not my place. But also, do you feel at the same time that the reason you'd love to be on stage, love to do the reason you love to be a clown is because you then have control of that situation. You are at the center and do you have control of where it's going? Is that does that play an effect on it? And then, because that's what I'm looking at from both sides. If you're going to a cinema and it's kind of like socializing, it's a bit difficult. But when you're on stage, it's like, I know what's going to happen. Does that play effect or? It's a few things. I think it's, it's, it's having some kind of control. I know having control is an illusion, but still you have some kind of control. And also I want to, I want to make people happy. I want to make them laugh. I want to make, I want to touch them hearts, their hearts. So that's actually what I want to do.
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
A highlight from The Violent Bear It Away
"Welcome to Gospel in Life. Jesus was a great teacher, but he had a lot of things to say that were challenging or difficult to understand. In the Bible we see a number of places where his disciples say, Jesus, this is a hard saying. Today Tim Keller is preaching through one of the hard sayings of Jesus and how we can rest in the fact that while Jesus' teachings aren't always comfortable, he is always good. As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John. What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in king's palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet, this is the one about whom it is written, I will send my messenger ahead of you who will prepare your way before you. I tell you the truth, among those born of women, there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist, yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing and forceful men lay hold of it. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He who has ears, let him hear. To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to others, we played the flute for you and you did not dance. We sang a dirge and you did not mourn. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he has a demon. The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners, but wisdom is proved right by her actions. This is the word of the Lord. We're looking at the hard sayings of Jesus this month and the new international translation from which Scott just read gives us as nice a translation of verse 12 as you could possibly get. In verse 12, Jesus says, the kingdom of heaven from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing and the forceful take it, the forceful receive it, the forceful lay hold of it. In the older translation, in the authorized version, the older translation, it brings out the harshness and the strangeness of the verse. In the authorized version, Jesus is translated as saying, from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent bear it away. Flannery O 'Connor's only novel, I think it was her only novel, was called The Violent Bear It Away. It's taken from this verse. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven advances through violence. That's what the Greek word means. That's what it means. There's no way around it. The kingdom of heaven has always moved forward since the days of John the Baptist through violence and the violent are the ones who lay hold of it. What does that mean? What does that mean? Let's think about it. The context is Jesus telling us about John the Baptist. See in the beginning, John the Baptist came preaching a message and the message was this, the Messiah is coming to bring in the kingdom of heaven. Now that's not as esoteric as you might think. Bottom line, the kingdom of heaven means someone is coming to put everything straight, to make the world right again, to right all wrongs. Our fiction is full of talking about some golden age of the past or some future age of the future in which all problems are put straight, all the psychological and social and physical problems are put straight and everyone is happy. And of course, our fiction is full of talking about an age like that. What John the Baptist's message was this, the kingdom of heaven is not fiction. It is real and it's coming and there is one coming to bring it and he is not fiction, he is real, it's Jesus of Nazareth. That was the message of John the Baptist. Now, Jesus turns around, that's what John said about Jesus. What does Jesus say about John? Jesus, in this passage, is talking to the people about John the Baptist. He says, John the Baptist understood that the kingdom of heaven, this power coming to set the world straight again, is not a fiction, it's real. And once John the Baptist got a hold of it, what did it do to him? It radicalized him. It turned him into someone crying out in the wilderness, wearing a hairy shirt. It turned him into someone who became, you see, it meant everything to him, it radicalized him, it also put him outside of the power structures of the day. Jesus says, you do not go out when you see him, you don't see a person who's a nobleman, he's not someone from the king's palaces, he's been marginalized, he's been radicalized, he's spiritually intense. Once he realized the kingdom of heaven was real and it was coming, it meant everything to him. It dominated his life. Then Jesus says, look at yourselves, look at how you listen to the message of the kingdom. Some of you say, hey, that's very interesting, thought -provoking. Some of you find it inspirational, and yet the status quo in your life has not been challenged. Basically, you want to hear about the kingdom of God and go on with business as usual, that's impossible. And then he turns around and says, from John the Baptist until now, anyone who understands the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of heaven comes in to your life with a spiritual force, it comes into your life with a kind of violence, and only violent people lay hold of it. And this bothers a lot of folks. It's one of the reasons probably why the translation that we read from takes away the word violent. It bothers us. Isn't this Jesus? Isn't this the one that said, blessed are the peacemakers? Isn't this the one that said, turn the other cheek? Yes. And that's the reason why Jesus uses this term. Jesus is a communicator, he's a preacher, and he knows by saying this, you're going to start the puzzle. You're going to be startled. You're going to say, what does that mean? And that's just exactly what he wants. Let's cooperate with him. He wants to surprise you. He wants to startle you. He wants you to ask, what in the world does that mean? Because he wants you to understand what he's getting across. My purpose this morning is to explain this spiritual violence to you, and by God's grace, to arouse it in those of you who do not have it. And by God's grace, to stimulate it in those of you in whom it's burned low. What is this violence that only is the only way to receive the kingdom of God? The only way to enter the kingdom of God and advance in the kingdom of God, he says, is through forcefulness, is through violence. What is it? Well, it's always helpful if you're defining something to go by way of negation. So let's, right off the bat, say what we can eliminate, what we can say it is not. First of all, he's not talking about physical violence. He's not talking about physical violence. The Bible is so against physical violence. You know the place in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus says, you've heard it said, thou shalt not kill, but I say unto you, don't even resent somebody. Why does Jesus forbid you even holding a grudge? Why does he forbid you even resenting somebody? You know why? Because it can lead to violence. Human life is so sacred. Human life is so valuable that anything that even could lead to the abuse, to the weakening, or to the destruction of human life is not permitted. Even resentment is rolled out. And the reason why is because every human being is built in the image of God. God sees an assault on a human being as an assault on himself. If for some strange reason somebody built a statue of you somewhere in New York and you saw people pulling it down and stamping on it, and shooting it, wouldn't you take that personally? I mean, if Lennon was around, shouldn't he have taken it personally? What people did to his statues? Yeah. And the Bible tells us that because we are built in the image of God, God takes it as a personal assault on his own being when you assault someone else. No, the Bible is completely against physical violence. That's not what he's talking about. And not only that, it's not even talking about the formerly violent. There are people who hear Ted Bundy about to be executed. Before he's executed, he says, I found Christ. I'm born again. The guy who was just hanged in Washington last week. Did anybody hear that? Before he was hanged, he said, I found peace in Christ. And a lot of people say, well, that makes sense. These guys were so violent, and their crimes were so heinous, and their guilt is so great, I guess they need that kind of Hallelujah born again stuff just to deal with their own consciences. That's fine for them, not for us, not for average decent people. No way. If there's one thing that the Bible and history and personal experience proves, is the Christian conversion is not for one type of personality. Yes, of course. History proves that people of every conceivable class of psychological and social class, every conceivable type of personality have claimed to be born again. You must not say the kingdom of heaven and all that born again stuff is really just for the people who used to be violent, desperate sinners. Not at all. Yes, people from the dregs of society have found Christ and said, I'm born again, but people from the cream, people who are simple, people with towering intellects, every region, every race. You can't say that Jesus is talking about the formerly violent or the physically violent, but here's what he's saying. Jesus is saying that Christians are not passive people, that Christianity cannot be received passively. Christianity is a proactive stance toward the universe. Christianity makes you someone who is characterized by a holy violence, by a spiritual aggressiveness, listen carefully, by a sweet, humble spiritual ferocity, by a vehement spiritual sincerity. Now, I know, see modern people stare at such terminology the way a cow stares at a new gate. We've got no framework for it. A spiritual ferocity, a radical spiritual aggressiveness and intensity, and here's why, because the world believes the only people who are radical and intense and zealous and spiritually aggressive about faith and beliefs are arrogant people. The world believes the...and I'll show you in a minute why. The world in its prejudice believes the only people that can be spiritually intense and aggressive, spiritually ferocious, are arrogant people. But you see, when Jesus was preaching, one thing that he must have seen in my guess is that this is where he got his idea, his metaphor. He would attract tremendous crowds, and there was only a certain kind of person that actually got in to hear him. The kind of people that got in to hear him were the people who came early, the people who stood in line, the people who scrambled, the people who were relentless, who were aggressive, who were creative, who climbed and scrambled and ran and tore through the roof, remember that one, to get in. And the people who showed up on time, the people who expected normal conditions in order to hear Jesus Christ, the people who thought that a normal effort was all it was going to take, the people who were casual, couldn't even hear him. My family and I went to the Paul Simon concert last summer, 750 ,000 people, and one of the things we discovered, if you try to get into the Great Lawn, you know, around the Great Lawn were the pathways, the paved pathways. So you get onto the Great Lawn, on the pathway, and you start to follow the crowd, so you realized that the crowd was going away from the Great Lawn, that the crowds were being diverted away, and if you wanted to get into the center to get any kind of decent seat, you had to buck the crowd. You had to dart. You had to think for yourself. You had to pin your ears back and not care where everybody else was going and not care what everybody else said either. And you had to go. And Jesus says there's a certain kind of relentlessness, a certain kind of hard pursuit, a kind of striving, a spiritual intensity that must characterize anyone who will lay hold of the kingdom of heaven. For many in our culture today, biblical Christianity is a dangerous idea challenging some of their deepest beliefs. In her book, Confronting Christianity, 12 hard questions for the world's largest religion, Dr. Rebecca McLaughlin explores the hard questions that keep many people from considering faith in Christ, tackling issues including gender and sexuality, science and faith, and the problem of suffering. McLaughlin shows that what seems like roadblocks to faith in Jesus can become signposts to a relationship with him.

Game of Crimes
A highlight from 110: Part 2: Ryan Steck is a Spy - The Real Book Spy
"Navy SEALs are so played out. The Delta boys are so played out. I'm looking for good reason. I'm not putting them down. I mean, come on. There's a reason why we all know about them. But I thought, you know, who's left? And the more research I was doing, the more people I talked to, like, who's the biggest bad that's -ass not a SEAL or a Delta boy? And it was like, finally, someone said to me, what do you know about the Marine Raiders? And I was like, you know, not much. So the more I looked into them, the more I thought, this is more Red's brew of coffee right here. Yeah. My character, Matthew Red, I just saw it instantly, man. It just clicked. And I kind of just ran with it. Yeah. Cause the Raiders, I mean, there's been some variations of stuff. So one of my friends came out of Naval Academy, FBI agent, but was a captain in the Marines. He was force recon. And there's this great picture of him. It used to be on his Twitter page. He's doing a halo jump in white. It's wintertime, but he's doing a halo jump in white. You know, and it's like, you know, that's some cool shit. But when I first started reading about Matthew Red, like you say, he almost, it reminded me of what you would get if you kind of put together like a Mitch Rapp and a Jack Reacher, you know, and a couple other folks, you know, somebody got some street smart as well as smart knows how to operate tactically. But I like the fact that you set it out in States that tend to be flyover countries. You know, I came from Kansas flyover country. Now I do have to ask one thing. Will Matthew Red ever work with the Dutton Ranch at Yellowstone to drive off the other people? Well, you know, it's interesting. When I first wrote about Montana, I kind of think a lot of people I was talking to was like, no one cares about Montana. Like, no one wants to read about that. And then like two years later, Yellowstone came out. And then 1823, 1883, then 1923. I think they care about Montana now, you know? And so, so that was, I won't lie to you. That was another reason why John Talbot was like, Hey, the timing's good. Let's get this thing out the door. Let's go shop it. You know, Yellowstone's huge. I don't think that hurt for sure. But you know, Red's got his own cattle ranch that he's worried about right now. And in book two, he's facing a very real threat of losing it. And I mean, that is just one of, put that farther down the list of problems he's got in book two. Well, we want to tie this back to our Game of Crimes theme, because it has to relate somehow to crime. So what happens is, he's kind of, kind of tell a little bit too, Matthew is set up in the beginning, team, something happens to his team, obviously, and then he's got the choice between getting court -martialed, you know, or taking a less than honorable discharge and getting out of the Marines, which kind of, that's the inciting incident. That's what sets him on the path coming back to Montana. So how did you come up with the, because you, like you said, you originally talked about human trafficking. How did you come up with the idea though, for Fields of Fire, in terms of the manipulation of the food supply? Yeah, I mean, I'll touch on it a little, I don't want to spoil it, but one day I was sitting around, I won't name names, but there was a billionaire who looks like a really nice dude, a friendly face, round glasses, just looked super nice, but was making headlines because he's buying up all this farmland. And I just was sitting there one day going, why? Is that Ted Turner? Why are they buying up all this, why are they buying up all this farmland? Well, that's the Chinese too. They've been doing a lot of that out there. Well, I couldn't let it go. And I just thought, okay, let's say that this nice looking billionaire is actually not, what might they be doing? And so in my fictional universe, there's a billionaire who comes from the tech world. His name is Anton Gage and he looks very nice.

Surely like 18 grand into a ten X freaking out Ted Ted, what are you doing, buddy? You're aping. So yeah, on bybit, it's like 9 four two three. Actually much cheaper than. Yeah, no, this trading view is actually pretty accurate. I'll be honest. Like, look at this pre accurate cheaper on cheaper on binance, but binance is swinging like a freak. Like crazy. Yeah, the amount of open interest here is nuts so we're getting crazy wicks, so just be careful. Don't trade too high leverage or you get stopped. You'll get stopped. KuCoin as well. I think this is the spot market so perp's market. We'll be slightly different. 200 K yeah, that's total position, so it's probably 20 K on ten X, but it's still crazy. It's a lot of money.

Such an easy thing to start doing. And for me like it's distracting as well. And I don't think it's healthy just to watch that on the screen the way it is. Yeah, it's a complete split as well. You know, like, there's a beauty in embracing your sexual energy and there's a complete split in that it's not real. You're actually not really connected to yourself at all.

Supposedly normal bringing normal life, you know, sort of popular school, like nothing, nothing standing out as significant as it goes with why he would kill all the people he did in the way that he did. And at the end of his life, when he finally admitted that he did all the stuff that he did, because the night for all that time was to be honest, it was just it was looking a lot of pawn and a lot of stuff and I got to a point where it wasn't enough. And you know he had to go out and do what he did. He would go to schools into dorms and castrate I'm paraphrasing what I read, but castrate women and raped them and stuff.

And then I want to talk about the insulated glass unit People called the I G U I'd like to know. And I'm trying to get not trying. I'm getting honest Opinions from okay from Ted Ted role and just hear the owner. I want to know what is, for example, Um, the best is Double better than single is triple better than double Are they? The more you add? The better? It gets talk about we we know we don't want single. Yeah, you don't want single. What's the difference between double and triple? And do you really need a triple? Well, triple triple pane is going to give you veterans elation value because you've got to air pockets. So the big question is, Is it going to give you enough better to to justify the cost? And what do you think so most cases unless you have, uh, an area of your house where you get a lot of sun, a lot of heat like a Southwest exposure. Probably isn't going to make that much of a difference in all honesty. Okay? The other thing you have is double strength class and and single strength class. And surprisingly enough. I thought that all glass that comes into Colorado was double strength. And I found out several years ago that it isn't And that's the question that nobody really asks. So that really is an important question in whether you get double pane or triple pane is the glass, single strength or double strength? Because single strength class is gonna tend to blow out a lot a lot quicker. Because the pressure changes because most classes this built that you know, down at the sea level or close to what is double strength Last considered what how thick is the pain so double strength classes? Roughly an eighth of an inch thick and single strength is half that 1/16 of an inch thick. Okay, so that is really important to me. Yeah. Okay. So you want double pane minimum with it suffices. Let's say double pane, double a double strength. What else then you're looking at. Is there going to be a Gassville in there and I see I don't think gas is all what it's cracked up to be. Personally, Because don't you lose that gas over time? You do lose that cast over time, and I can't really tell you how long that takes. I think years. Maybe you know, 5 10 years before but sleep south. Yeah, but you're paying a lot more for it. You're being a little more for it. The difference between Gassville and no, no, Gassville. Isn't that Substantial. Do you sell gas filled? Yeah, we We actually sell both ways. Um, if you don't have gas fill there is a product that that goes on one of the panes of glass. Known as I 85 which basically substitutes for the gas. Is that what they used to call like E something? What was that low Eat mirror or Louie? Louie? Yeah, Well, what is this? Some kind of film that goes on the glass? Uh, yeah. Lowy is a film that is coated on the inside of the glass was inside between the, But what do you What do you call it? It's not Lowy. You haven't. What are you're just calling this other one. You see, the I 85 is a form of Lowy and you know, it gets pretty had to call Lot of 85 a brand as I 85 It's just a different type of low either. Okay, so basically low e coating is what we're blowing coding Now that works. Yeah, Yeah, there really isn't. But I don't think you need gas filled, and I don't know if I'm killing against your salespeople. But I'm saying I don't really have And I've never seen the need for it. What do you What do you think? I mean, you sell both you don't you know, Obviously you make more money on gas filled right? Because if we do the the I 85 okay. Uh, you know you're charged. I think you're trying to go for gas. I think I 85 is better than gas. In my opinion. What do you think? I think they're in at this altitude. Yeah, it'll last longer.

Why is that even being discussed and much more, including what's happening in our country like right now, like AOC, suggesting she somehow has not been to war because of January six. Ted Ted Poe takes her to task on that. I'm glad that he does. Also Jim Hagedorn. He is a U. S representative District one Republican, the great State of Minnesota. First time we've had him on. He went to El Paso went to the border recently and check to see What's going on there. And what he found wasn't great. What he found actually was was big time negative, So we'll talk to him about that as well. We do have this mass murder now in California in San Jose, and carry you don't mind if you get updated sundown. What happen there? A lot of people at work today might not have heard about this yet. Yeah, this is from Fox News. They're shooting at a rail yard in San Jose, California early Wednesday left eight people dead, not including the suspect. Was also declared deceased after taking his own life. Authorities confirmed the suspect was identified. A Samuel Cassidy was an employee at the Valley Transportation Authority where the incident took place, according to authorities. No motive is known for the shooting At this time, Senate Clary County Sheriff spokesman Deputy Russell Davis and several explosive devices were found inside a building at the V to control center. A bomb squad is at the scene and there is no present danger to the community, he said, and investigations also underway of an arson fire. What's believed to be the nearby home of the suspect? FBI agents in the San Jose Fire Department, where the second scene authorities say the House caught fire before the shooting at the V T. A. In Washington, D C principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean Pierre said the White House will continue to stay in close contact with local officials in San Jose before using the shooting as an opportunity to call for Congress to strengthen background checks. Immediately the by the administration talked about another deadly shooting, and we have to do something about gun violence and so on and so forth. I don't know why you can't wait five minutes. Don't know why. I don't know why. You couldn't wait five minutes. I just don't Can't you at least let's figure out what happened here. Let's figure out why this person did. This is figure out what the story was just figure out what the motive was to figure out why it wasn't known to somebody somewhere that he's buying bomb making materials allegedly and why he's buying guns to go kill people. Ted Cruz, the U. S senator. Great State of Texas went back and forth with this guy, David Shipman. Has he been confirmed? By the way nobody's in the hearing has been confirmed as the 80 FBI. I don't think so. They were having the hearings. I don't know. I don't believe they've confirmed to me up. This guy seems like a real weasel. I mean, if you go back and see some of stuff Tucker's uncovered about him, he just seems to be an anti gun guy as long as he and his and his fellow feds have guns, he's fine with that. But there was a question about whether he supports a ban on Air 15th, which is the most popular rifle in America. Air. 15 is not something that jumps up on its own and kills people. And I don't know what gun was used in San Jose. I just know a bad guy killed innocent people because he was a bad guy, and we have to. We have to start identify who these people are and stop them from doing it before they do it. That's what we have to do. We have to make a better Better push. Had to beam or intentional about finding out who it is. That's buying the guns, whether they should have them whether there's a history of mental illness where there is a lot of that A lot of these people went abusing guns and killing people. But of course, um, in his back and forth with Ted Cruz, and this is what lefties do. They immediately was. It's a very lethal weapon. Right, They said he's also for further regulations on other Potentially lethal weapons, and my response to that is very simple. Like what? Cars, knives, Ice picks, rocks, broomsticks. Two by fours.

"Wake Up. Everybody by Harold, Melvin & the Bluenotes, the system ocracy now democracynow.org, the quarantine report. I'm Amy Goodman with Juan Gonzalez Philadelphia, district attorney, Larry krasner is now fighting to stay in office. Next week, is a challenge in the Democratic primary by Carlos. Vega a former homicide prosecutor, who is one of the three dozen veteran prosecutors fired by krasner when he took office wage. 2018 during a debate last week, they could criticize krasner's record and blamed him for a spike and murders and shootings in Philadelphia. We don't need to make a choice between where former safety package need both. We deserve both Mister krasner. You have blood on your hands Milan alone. Car, a young man walking his dog Trevon register. Six year old boy beaten to death. Some are Jones. Seven year old boy killed on his porch. Corporal O'Connor killed in the line of duty Gladys koreano. A domestic violence victim shot in front of our house. Dominic Bila young man, shot in the Franklin Mills Mall. He's just a few of the victims that we can directly put on the incompetence of Larry krasner in response to Carlos. Vega incumbents, Larry krasner defended, his first term saying he's followed through on his promise to reform, Philadelphia's Criminal Justice System. First of all, we have a crisis with shootings, it is with fatal and non-fatal shootings. And the truth is that we have a nearly 85% conviction rate with those girls. So that is among the very highest and five years, it is comparable to other cities in a very favorable way. It's a very high rate compared to other cities and we did it without cheating. Part of the reason we've had, twenty exonerations long as we were dealing with an office. When my opponent was, there were the truth, didn't matter. And so if you could convict someone, you convicted them, it might be the wrong person. They might sit in jail for twenty years or twenty five years that did not get us anywhere. What we have to do is we have to bring things that work and we've done that for more, we're joined in Philadelphia by investigative journalist Lynn. Washington is covered the city's criminal justice system. For decades, recently wrote a column for WHYY headlined krasner stance on mumia, won't cost him re-election but it will stain. His reputation as a reformer still with us, in the past and co-creator and director of the PBS series, Philly. D, A, we welcome you both to democracy. Now, Lynn, if you can talk about the scope of this race game, Looks like of course, his opponent in the Democratic primary is supported by the fop, the Fraternal Order of Police. And I think that endorsement by the fop for the Challenger of Larry krasner I'm Mister Vega is very telling the echo key represents the very worst of regressive approach to the criminal justice system. The very elements that mr. Krasner trying to reform and here is Mister Vega off claiming that he's different. Aligning himself with the very ideology as well as individuals who have created the promise that we now have in the city Mazda where we have a justice system that is not operating in a just manner. Prime, ethical mandate for prosecutors is to see Justice not convictions and this has been a part of Pennsylvania case law since 1889, when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision came down that way. Enunciated the role for prosecutors his Justice. And Lionel. First of all, Greenies, we haven't spoken in quite a while. We are former colleagues at the Philadelphia Daily News. Many years ago, I wanted to ask you this whole approach that some people are saying, well off their crime has written and has risen and violence has risen during Chrysler's time in office. When the reality is all across the nation, there has been there. Been spikes in crime, in many situations and some people myself included, believe that we're, we're actually witnessing a police. National Police slow down. That is occurring across the country as police are chasing at the, the attempts to control the way that they meet out, abuse of citizens. I'm wondering your sense of will this stick on krasner that? I'm responsible for the rise in crime and shootings in Philadelphia. but the reality is, yes, he's been Assigned that label and assign a label falsely from the day. He stepped into office, the Fraternal Order of Police in persons like his Challenger mr. Vain have said that Larry krasner crime is going to be off the charts. You have to watch out for a mystery form, it's going to make people unsafe, not true. As you indicated their crime, has gone down across the country and as crime has gone up, there's been an appreciable decrease in policing in Philadelphia. A vast majority of the crimes particularly homicides are unsolved and if the police are not making any arrests, then prosecutors can't prosecute the cases. So it is God intellectually improper to say you're not Prosecuting homicide cases. When in fact the police are not bringing the cases to them and according Mr. Crabs near the cases that are brought to him are fraught with black of evidence. And if krasner is trying to do something different from, what was the policy and practice, say, they office for decades where they would just go in irrespective of incongruence incongruities and evidence. They would just put people in prison for people in prison last their jobs. That's wrong and that's what Larry krasner has been been fighting against yet. He has been quite frankly spent hard by not only the fop but concern politicians and even during the his time in office, be then us attorney in Philadelphia was very critical of the reforms. And this is a person who's the chief enforcement officer, for the federal government should not have been taking that kind of a posture. Yet, you have to understand the context. He was with the Trump Administration that were happening on currently endorse brutality in the name of Law & Order. And then, I did want to ask you about a criticism that you had of krasner his handling of the Mamiya abu-jamal case. Arguably the most famous prisoner, worldwide us prisoner worldwide. And you conducted more than ten years ago, a, a ballistics tests and I think Ted Ted passing actually filmed that way. In terms of raising real questions about what happened again, with the evidence, and the Mamiya abu-jamal case, you talk about your criticism of krasner and his failure to act on this case. Well, the column laid out that Mr. Krasner has done, what his predecessors have not done and that's seek Justice. The song he has, reversed the convictions of about 20 people so far. There's a vast number more, that that should be, but you have to give you credit for what he did in each of those instances. There have been very clear and compelling evidence of misconduct, not only by police in the initial investigation but prosecutors and how in many instances, they often persecuted the cases. Now, how does that apply to the Apple? Jamal case the evidence, that led krasner's office to seek reversal of convictions for 25 people. So far commendably is far less than the evidence of misconduct by police prosecutors and judges in the Apple Jamal case dog. So if you are a reformer as krasner is.

Woof, not good, just a little bit above the Oscars, and they hit a record blow. As many of you probably guessed is well on now we're joined by Howard Lawrence Carr. Thank you very much for joining the show, Howie. Thank you. You know, the difference is the Oscars were only on one network. I mean, this was this was like a road block as they used to say in TV land, do you? No, No. I mean, where? Where did where did 320 million people go last night for their entertainment? It's pretty amazing. No, no, it was. I guess I looked at the numbers. They say that the Trump's first speech he had almost 50 million viewers. Yeah, that's astonishing. I and I know TV habits change are changing rapidly, You know, even from year to year, but but still That's amazing. Well, Howie. I think part of I think part of it, too, is that as far as the media is concerned, They've always been hypocritical. And during the Trump administration, I think the American trust in the media really plummeted, but at least it was entertaining. You know, at least Trump brought a little bit of bravado to the to the podium. But with this, it's just It's really boring. It's a mixture. If you understand it, like conservatives do. It is disheartening and scary. But if you're just kind of a regular middle of the road voter, it's just boring. I mean, I would watch it either. If it wasn't You know if if I didn't think the situation was so dire, I don't think I would tune in. No, I didn't tune and I must admit, But, you know, I'm just looking at the cut sheet here and Ted Ted Cruz had a good description of it boring but radical. That's true. That's a that's a good way to describe it. From what I can say how he described it. That was his prediction that I think that was actually before the day is prediction was a spot on wasn't it exactly know exactly on how there is one stumble here. We didn't get to salt plate for you. This is cut too. Please. Immigration has always been essential to America. Let's end our exhaustion. Moreover, immigration I, our existing more were and are exhausting War immigration. Yeah, I think probably the most outrageous thing that was Nicole Wallace afterwards. Basically trying to say that Trump doesn't deserve any credit for Operation Warp speed. I mean, how these people can even take themselves seriously is kind of beyond me. Like the fact that the you know people were tweeting out her comment, And then they put in. You know, when he said that, she said he didn't get that Trump didn't get the needles into the arms, And then they showed Biden getting a needle in December. In December. By the way, grace you know, Jared just played a A country Bible song. Yes, I have. I have one that I think they're really applies to the Biden Family Bible. It's by Kitty Wells. Who is that Dad? That's a little tease for the audience to hang on till Howie show. Well, we can with the dust on the Bible. Oh, dust on the Bible. I knowing that Hunter is in the room. I don't know what kind of dust that might be that might that might not just be regular. Thus, that might be like Angel Dust Bible. I was a little upset that the two lane, the new Tulane teacher, Under biding can get one shout out during last night's speech. What gives? He's the smartest man Joe knows He's the smartest man Joe knows, by the way, how he I think something that a lot of people picked up on was just the optics of the whole night. Everybody had mass on there was all sorts of elbow bump, fist bump things. And it just was very depressing. It wasn't a full audience, obviously, and it just was. I don't know it was the hunger games. This is what Molly Hemingway said she said from the military ring Citizens Band from Attendants Hunger Game style inauguration. To this protect Biden from the people's Representatives. Country and Decline join address to Congress, The Biden administration has been an optics catastrophe. I don't disagree. But again, it was the according to the mainstream media Grace. It was a Zay said yesterday. We could all predict this. It was the greatest speech. Of all time. How long's the Earth been here? Four billion years. This was the greatest speech in the last four billion years. It was better than the sermon on the Mount. It was better than the Gettysburg Address. It was better than Winston Churchill. Blood, sweat and tears. Martin Luther King, I have a dream. Any speech. You've ever heard. This was better. Yeah, but this is from CNN. The audience of speech watchers was a friendly one for Biden, as is typical of presidential addresses to Congress. Over all the pool of people who watched the speech was about 13 points more democratic than the general public in about two points less Republican. Now, keep that in mind. CNN on Lee came up with Joe getting a positive pole of 51%. That's less than Donald Trump got for his speech, and that's CNN. I'm I'm gratified.

They're all next year on the edge. Truth what we deal with here when I deal with political correctness, By the way, Ted Ted Cruz just wants off. Just went. Cruz just went south. Now listen to this. First of all, when you hear somebody say there is fraud, and we've got to get to the bottom of it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What else you got? That's that's rhetoric. That's right. A red if you're saying the fraud that is the Biden presidency Now you're telling the truth. And there is fraud in other areas. Absolutely. So what? The issue at hand is that a fraudulent election brought about a fraudulent president. That's not really a president at all. And his Brock listen, Obama's third term tell the truth. Listen to this. Ted Cruz. Trump's election rhetoric was reckless and irresponsible. This Ted Cruz Trump's election rhetoric was reckless and irresponsible. No evidence of massive fraud. This is Ted Frick and Cruz. You know, I go back to I don't want to say I told you so. But some of my dearest friends Remember when Donald Trump came down escalator at Trump Tower and myself and my lovely wife said, That's the guy. It's him and ain't Ted Cruz. Man. Some of our friends just went ballistic. How dare you turn your your back on it. Real true. Constitutionalist trumps a fraud. Remember? They came around the came around. They came around. I can't think of one of the didn't but Came around begrudgingly. And now Ted Cruz has shown himself for what he is straight a politician. Ted Cruz Monday on his podcast verdict with Ted Cruz criticized former President Donald Trump for his rhetoric about the election. Cruz said. We've seen overheated rhetoric like crazy on both sides of the political aisle. Not here. You're starting to sound like Trey Gowdy. Democrats in the news media and, sadly, the news media is just part of Democrats. They are one. They're talking point that there's no voter fraud. It doesn't exist. This is Ted Cruz speaking. On the other hand, President Trump's rhetoric, I think what way too far over the line. I think was both reckless and irresponsible because, he said repeatedly, he said over and over, he won by a landslide. It was massive fraud. It was all stolen everywhere that evidence the campaign did not prove that in any court To make a determination about an election. It has to be based on the evidence. Here is the lawyers less debater Ted Cruz. He says, So simply saying the result you want. That's not responsible. You've never heard me use language like that is gross talking. No, Ted, we've never heard you use language like that. He had it. What I said is voter fraud is real. There you go. There's the safe 10. Yeah, There's the safe space right there. Politically correct, Say Spade. This place and we need to examine the evidence and look at the actual facts. In particular. What is the evidence and how much voter fraud occurred. And did it occur in sufficient quantities and significant states to alter the outcome of the election? That would have been the mandate of the Election Commission. Yes, it did. Ted visited, the evidence has been wholly cast aside and ignored. It's not like it doesn't exist. I mean, case in pointed vision point. When you take a piece of paper and you fold it. Papers made from fiber when you fold it, it hasn't just indelible fold mark on it. You can't ever unfold it even if you iron it, Even if you lay it out, you got lines where it was folded. So if you did a mail in ballot And it was folded and put into an envelope. You can't take the fold out. So, Ted, how do you explain massive quantities of votes that never had folds in them? They're physically there. How to explain that dead? I think this fraud Yeah. How do you explain Ted? How do you explain that, just statistically speaking statistical evidence that the voting number in Detroit it came in at three o'clock in the morning was analogous to flipping a coin and having Atlanta's heads 158,000 times in a row. I explain that, Ted. Anyway, the list goes on and on and on. So here's what Ted's bought into. Ted Cruz has a campaign coming after his ass. I want him out of office. They being the psychotic left. They hated him in the first place. I wanna beta Roric, and they're okay. So the same people coming after Ted. Now they have billboards in Texas. Giant billboards. That said it says Ted Cruz Cone resigned there after Ted. They've targeted him. And he sees it coming, and he wants to stay a senator. He wants to stay. It's a sweet job. Best job I ever had asked Rick Perry s quick period. Best job I ever had. Yeah. Uh, best damn job I ever had. So that's where I'm It's frustrating and disgusting. What's happening in America Now it really is, And you could also make the case as I'm making. It's it's over now. We may pull it back out of the fire at some point, but it's in the fire now, baby. Uh, it's not on the edges of the fire. It's in the fire. We can't forget what we actually accomplished over four years..

Donald Trump officially lost the election on January 6th win. Congress certified the electors until and expense, and since then he's been. David just asked a very good question, Answering his first question, he's been either he lied about voter fraud or Ted Cruz. Also. So now the collar convicted when answer what questions I can answer. Brian is that I think you don't think he has to get questioned. Think yesterday During his first he asked me to question was answered us. First your your little long winded, But go ahead, Go ahead and finish answering his first question. Okay, well, the situation and with with Ted Cruz in 2016 was totally different. It wasn't 2020. There wasn't there wasn't a pandemic there. There were not there. We're not laws changed by the wrong people to change the laws. None of those things took place. There was an excess mail in ballots votes. None of that. None of those things happen in 2016 that happened. Accused him of voter front. Ted Cruz commit voter front. Was was Donald Trump lives? I don't know. I don't remember. I don't remember Donald Trump refusing Ted Cruz of voter fraud. He did I know that I know that. I know that Ted Cruz was Donald was Donald Trump's opponent in 2016. I know that I know that they they've mended their relationships. Since then. They worked together has nothing to do with what he said. I have no idea. But you know what you're saying? No. So what? You're what you're trying to do is you're saying Okay. Since he accused you doing Brian does a lot since he accused of logic, Dawson since he accused Ted Ted Cruz of voter fraud in 2016. Therefore, he can't make that same statement in 2020 just didn't happen in 26. Okay, well, in my opinion, there was no voter fraud in 2016 My feeling there was a lot of orders. So don't trouble under complete under completely different situations, But but forcibly. Thank you. Something about it. I don't think there was voter fraud in 2016 Simple is that he was wrong. He falsely accused Senator voter fraud a felony. You falsely accuse the city Center of felony. I don't Think there was voter fraud in 2016. I do believe there was voter fraud in 2020. But what you're saying you're saying one statement made in 2016 invalidates the entire situation? 2020. That's not how it works. Someone accuses someone. Someone says Hey, JD raped me. Then you find out that that person falsely accuse someone else of rape, you might say, Hey, this person falsely accuse someone else over. Wouldn't you say that j d as a legitimate defense would not be a reasonable counterpoint for you to make it would totally it would totally variable based on the circumstances Like like, for example, someone said JD raped me and I and I was not in the same broom. It's them or not been keeping in communication with them for months is trying to make no but then in 2020, I was actually I was actually at a party. I was actually seen at a party given this person a track giving first of the truck. Let me respond in the morning and photographs. That would be different. If you change until you're saying you're saying that getting in the weeds here is getting in the way you're getting. Actually, he makes a very valid, you know, he doesn't I'm saying is, the circumstance are totally different. Okay in 2020 2016. So, David, I'd like you to chime in, but he's not. Can I chime in? Can I chime in hours? David? David David a guest. Is he a guest? No, He's a good collar. And I would like to talk because you've done all the talking and you haven't given him or me an opportunity to talk. So now I would like to talk if that's okay with you. J. D. So, David, I totally understand your point there four years ago. If you accuse somebody of a felony, and in JD's estimation, voter fraud didn't happen in 2016, so it's a false flag or a false attack on Ted Cruz. But four years later, all of a sudden, Donald Trump is credible when it comes to the same argument. It's absurd, David, I just want to say yes, I understand not. It's not the same argument their stances. Okay how you had election and you're not letting that be fact. David. Reshape the call. Let's move on to the next caller. Now let's go to Marcus.

And what better way to do it than watch TV? Although I'm not sure what we have tonight is the way most of us want to do. We've been dreading this night of your fan of jeopardy. Yeah, This is the last episode that airs tonight that Alex Trebek tape before his untimely but not surprised, surprising passing. He takes his last episodes just a few weeks before he passed away. He loved what he did. We loved what he did. We still love jeopardy and we hope for its future, But this is the last episode do not turn away. If you're a fan after final jeopardy there. They've planned some sort of a tribute in this final show to his life and career on this So and that will be special as these last episodes have been. If you've been watching this week, you know that he's been making references to Christmas. Because these were supposed to air that week because nobody knew this would be his last episodes. But because of the preemptions that happened on local channels during the holiday week, they decided to air them this week. So anyway, it's been a It was an amazing run for him on under best quiz show of its type. It's ever aired on television, and it's going to continue next week. Ken Jennings, who so associated with the show, having won the greatest of all time tournament, he's now a producer on the show and introduces categories. He'll be of the interim host for the next week. Somewhere down the pike. It's been reported that Katie Couric is one of the interim guest host still be doing there will be many Maura's this season continues. I doubt they'll name a permanent host until next season begins in the fall, and they, you know they haven't leaked anything about that. I think they really have one of these last episodes to belong to Alex Trebek and his memory and we'll see what happens in jeopardy going forward, But it is a significant TV show. It's been around forever, and it's really one of the best of its kind. And whatever happens to it. Whoever takes over the host job has a has big big shoes to fill. This will live on in syndication, won't it? Oh, yeah, no, no question. That's still the highest rated that and will fortune. But this is in many ways. It's not just highly rated. It's highly regarded. If you need a laugh over the next few days, surely the way to do it. It's gonna be with Ted Ted Danson. I love them. The promo for NBC's new Mr Mayor, comedy. Yeah, premiered tonight. You know the show itself, I think has some some work to do in terms of like, really nailing down the premise, And it isn't the most inspired show And compared to veep. I mean, it's toothless is political satire. But having Ted Danson back on TV so quickly after last year's the Good place, playing sort of a cluelessly benign mayor, he's the mayor of L. A. He was a businessman who sort of got into politics is a large, but he's not He, You know, he's not vino. He's just He's just Ted Danson, and he's surrounded by pretty funny people. Boy Bob, demonic money, hand steals all his scenes. The guy from starting night live playing sort of his affable, sandal wearing communications guy, and there's just so many things that it's from Tina Fey. So you know it's got that sort of 30 rock absurd sensibility. Um, And I think that in that regard yes, it's of the new wave of sitcom comedy is built around big stars like Miami, Olic and next week. Kira Sedgwick. Ted Danson's got the one that's worth watching. Let's close it out with this something If you miss season one season two is getting ready to start on Tuesday..

"ted ted" Discussed on ESPN Chicago 1000 - WMVP
"It was kind of like, Oh, What is this? When the team starts off that hot, they gotta finish the deal because we talked about the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Kansas City Chiefs. Ad nauseam about playing each other in a F C championship game or American football conference, depending on how you want to let her the lock. Read it, Uh, It is now all of a sudden. It looks like it could be Baltimore Buffalo. In the NFC championship game facing the Kansas City Chiefs. Thank you. I don't know. Man it feels like the Steelers have are kind of like hobbling their way into the playoffs is in the last four or five games, and they're really not having a run game. It did feel like they start up really high, but it feels like they're just kind of fizzling out. When when did things that I get really bothered about? I don't understand. At the beginning of the year, Jeff Darlington, who was really good at his job, came on our show and was comparing Patrick Mahomes to Michael Jordan. Steam at full strength. Has only lost one game like I don't count the last game where guys didn't play you have guys like Travis Kelsey, who finished top five and receiving yards and receiving touchdowns is a tight in people were raving about him. You have Tyree kill will finish. Top two and receiving TDs. Like all these weapons getting lay beyond Bill, people will talk about this team going undefeated. Why does it feel like this team gets a pass? Why isn't there pressure on the scene when people talk about them going undefeated? I don't understand how they just kind of roll underneath the radar. We don't give them pressure for considered to be a team that people would talk about winning multiple multiple, several Championships World championship. I don't think there's no, I don't think there's major pressure on them because well, because it's it's almost like a given. That they're going to be in a F C championship game and from there They'll probably get to the Super Bowl. It's there's no The Pittsburgh Steelers. Came out of nowhere was big being got back to 11 and old. And then all of a sudden they got real tight and started losing games in Cleveland and Baltimore started closing the gap in the division, and it felt like they was getting ready to lose the division because they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals. And then all of a sudden it became one of those. Oh, watch out moments. And so because of how was built up Put them in a position where We just decided. Okay. This team is the one team that can challenge The Kansas City Chiefs. It's all of that pressure. I understand that you could Say that patch Mahomes is Michael Jordan or whatever you wanna call him. Yes, he's won a Super Bowl and he's won an M V P and could have won two of each, but When you look at it from last year. They almost didn't even win the Super Bowl. But he had a catch. What have we wouldn't be talking about? If you marry in Sanders if Garoppolo connects with the Million Sanders, we're probably not even talking about Kansas City winning the Super Bowl, and I know it's so what if it didn't happen? I get all of that super But if it would have We wouldn't be having this conversation. But if the Steelers lose to them, I mean, they're still is losing the bills of the Colts, or you're gonna be you're gonna be shocked. We should be shot. No, I'm not. No, I would not would not be shocked. Exactly. Okay, but if the cheese lost it a Ravens that Italians would you be shocked? Not based on the way to Ravens or playing right now, I wouldn't be shocked. Okay, last two things, I would say. Conversely, if the Steelers have the most pressure, considering what's going on with the Browns, you could actually argue they have the least amount of pressures. That's an interesting little Ted Ted there and answer Jay's point, Obviously, with the chief's having the by Jay I do believe next week when the Chiefs play somebody. Those story lines you're talking about will creep up all the one possession wins all of that stuff. It's just that they're not playing this weekend. So there probably isn't a ton of attention exactly on them. Just my thoughts on the way. But a 25 year old quarterback. Thank you. We'll get to the national football Conference a little bit later. On the way could a 25 year old quarterback that's just entering his prime? Actually be on the trade block and available will dig into that after J has this from straight talk. It's time for some straight talk soup in Look, we all drop our phones..
