New FBI docs: Las Vegas mass shooter was angry at casinos
"A possible motive is being revealed for the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, which occurred on the Las Vegas Strip in 2017. The FBI has unveiled documents that say high stakes gambler Stephen paddock had been losing badly in Vegas, gambling, and in the days before the October 1st, 2017 mass killing. He had lost tens of thousands of dollars, and was upset about how casinos were treating him and other big rollers. Another gambler whose name was redacted, gave that information to the FBI. In a shooting attack that lasted ten minutes, he killed 60 people and wounded hundreds more. From his corner suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay bay resort. He was 64 years old and killed himself that night, too. I'm Jackie Quinn

Stories of Heroism Emerge From the Nashville School Shooting
"Stories are emerging of heroism, the headmaster, the woman who was the chief administrator at the school, reportedly ran towards the killer in an effort to try to shave her students lives, the janitor, the custodian Big Mike, he was trying to save kids lives, the body cam video shows the heroism of those officers. We set a record thousands and thousands of people have viewed the body cam video. It's graphic, it's tough to watch because you see the cops take the killer down. She's laying there sprawled sort of backwards because the impact of the gun, the bullets just, I guess, killed her instantly, but that body cam video has been widely viewed by members of our audience. All you have to do is check the keyword body cam. And again, I warn you it is a bit graphic to watch, but it's powerful because it shows the heroism and bravery of those Nashville police officers. It shows what police have to do all the time.

Civics Education Tells Children to Only Trust Left-Wing Sources
"Curious, often I'm confronted by sometimes donors and they say Charlie, we need to bring civics back into education. Ben, sometimes is it Republicans pushing for that? That actually is not a good idea is what you're saying. No, you're saying, wait, hold on. If you're going to agree with civics, you're actually might get critical race theory Marxist civics, right? Yeah, you know, this is how the left works when they take over institutions and let's note that, of course, of all the institutions for the future, obviously the public schools are probably the most imperative of them all, which is why you noted before the break. We have myriad threats and we're fighting, you know, a thousand front war, if not a 10,000 front war. But the schools are obvious where ground zero, one of the reasons, by the way, that I think the Biden administration went out and labeled critical parents domestic terrorists and sick counter terrorism authorities on them precisely to chill that opposition because this is the key point. This is ground zero. This is the core nerve center for perpetuating the regime's ideology and then ultimately it's power. So yes, civics, of course, while everyone likes the concept of civics. Everyone believes that schools should be about preparing citizens, to ultimately go out and contribute to their country. Obviously the left has a very different view of what that should look like. And they've actually pioneered a concept called action civics. And action civics, of which media literacy is a part because it's geared at the end of the day towards quote unquote democratic action. What action civics is about is ultimately shown to be agitation protesting, social justice activism. And the like. So it's looking at American history, our constitution, our core documents, our entire Republican system, through the favored lens of the left.

The Aaronic Blessing in Your Life
"These amazing words found in the book of numbers are the very ones that God gave to Aaron so that he could speak them over the people in Israel to be blessed. Thousands of years later, this blessing is still spoken to church congregations around the world. These words are an amazing reminder to us of what God wants to do in our lives each new day, and in each and every new season of our lives. The lord bless and keep you.

Just as the warmth of the sun's rays shine on your face, flooding you with warmth, so too, when the lord scientists face on you, it will warm you with his love, and you will be forever changed. And be gracious to you. This amazing phrase tells us that God is forgiving. Merciful, and compassionate. Our sin should put a distance between us and God, but through the death and resurrection of Jesus, our sins have been forgiven, and we can draw close and fellowship to God. God sees you right where you are. He forgives you. He has compassion for you and for the heartbreaking things that you are walking through today. The lord lift up his countenance upon you.

"A massive bankruptcy plan for the Boy Scouts has been upheld. I'm Lisa dwyer. A federal judge has upheld approval of the Boy Scouts $2.4 billion bankruptcy plan.

Opponents of the plan say it improperly strips insurers and survivors of the rights. The ruling rejected arguments that the bankruptcy plan was not proposed in good faith. I'm Lisa dwyer

Brandon Straka Walks Us Through His Post J6 Nightmare
"To us about the purgatory of the last two years as we've seen with almost every other case. Concerning January the 6th, this constant threat that if you don't, if you don't surrender, if you don't give in to the plea bargain, they will throw the book at you. You're going to get felonies. You're going to get multiple years of sentences from the judge. Walk us through what happened to you after the initial charges were presented. Sure. Yeah, I guess I'll just say, look, for every person at this point, it's about a thousand people, I believe, that have been charged with January 6th related charges. And I believe that they're going to go after at least a thousand more people probably more than that in the coming years, which is insane. But yeah, for the majority of people, we've all been kind of faced with two choices, either to go to a Washington D.C. court and go before a D.C. judge and a D.C. jury. All of whom, as far as I'm concerned, hate Donald Trump hate anybody who voted for Donald Trump or supported him. And don't have any clarity of thinking whatsoever in their ability to be neutral or unbiased when sitting on a jury trying to decide the guilt or innocence of somebody who supported Trump. So there's that option or you can take a plea deal, which is not a magical answer by any stretch of the imagination, but it does allow you to wrap things up and begin the process of trying to move forward with your life. I made the choice to take a plea deal. I pled guilty to one single class B misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. Now, along with that plea deal and this kind of goes back to the conversation you and I were having a few minutes ago, I signed the government written statement of offense. Which is essentially their version in narrative of what I did, what I said, what I smelled, what I thought, why I thought it, why I did what I did. So that narrative now lives in reality for the time being.

What Happened to Me on January 6th With Brandon Straka
"That the last two years, of course, have been very difficult for you personally for those who aren't aware with your story and what happened to you. After January 6th, let's quickly summarize, you came to D.C., you were here for January 6th. And again, correct me if I make any missteps here, you went to Congress. You never went inside the building. You filmed what was happening. You made a video, you posted it, and then things started to go bad for you. Explain what you did on January 6th and what the repercussions were you for for you personally. Yeah, no, you nailed all of those details. So I was actually invited to be a speaker on capital grounds at a permitted event that was supposed to follow president Trump speaking at the ellipse on January 6th. That's the reason why I went to Washington, D.C. to speak. And so as I was approaching the capital grounds after president Trump spoke to go to my speaking engagement, I started getting a lot of text messages and things like that on my phone from people around the country that I know who were watching on television saying, we're seeing or hearing on the news that people are going inside the building and something's going on. That sounded unusual to me, so I started shooting a video and I was approaching from the east side. So I wasn't even on the west side of the building where people were, you know, some people were breaking windows and fighting with police officers. So you were on the peaceful side of the Congress. Yeah. Absolutely. And I didn't witness any of that. I didn't see anyone breaking any Windows or in fact, I didn't even see any police officers. There were literally zero police officers, zero. On the east side grounds. And I got to the steps of the capitol and the east side were thousands of people were gathered, but facing away from the capitol, mind you, they weren't they weren't facing toward the capitol trying to charge inside. They were all standing facing away from the capitol holding signs and one man is visible in my video at the top of the stairs, calling down to the people blow shouting. They've opened the doors. They're letting us in. We're going inside. We're going inside. So I walked up to the top of the east side stairs and when I got there, the two large metal open doors of the capitol were wide open. And there was a crowd of several hundred people there, some were trying to get inside the majority were just kind of shooting a video like I was. And so I shot a video for 8 minutes outside of the building before a man came out of the capitol dot on a bullhorn and he said they've cleared Congress. Everybody move out, move out. They've cleared the building. You

Handmade blankets welcome refugees, immigrants to US
"Around the country, handmade blankets are being made to welcome people to the United States. The hand crochet blankets come with a note. Welcome to Brookline. Our family came from Eastern Europe to avoid prejudice and to live freely. Patti margolis and her granddaughter made a blanket in Brookline, Massachusetts. It was jaina's women's idea to make welcome blankets. Which are 40 inches by 40 inches, easy to care for, and they hurt to give away because the makers love them so much. And Faber has an image of the person who will use her blanket. Somebody basically covering themselves and feeling warm and that they're getting somebody holding them. And giving them a hug. Thousands of blankets and notes have been created. The project is geared toward refugees. People forced to leave their homes or country to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. I'm Ed Donahue

A Look Back at the Federal Reserve's Coffers
"I left off the last video, we started to talk about compound annual growth. What does it really mean? The Federal Reserve, when it opened its doors in 1914. They had 300 million or so. Dollars in total assets at the time, they did jump to a billion plus pretty soon after that after World War I and as World War I was ending. And then you go all the way out here a 108 nearly a 109 years out. And you see that as of last week's balance sheet 8.7 three $1 trillion, remember a thousand billion is a $1 trillion. How do we compare those numbers? Over such a long time frame. One way is to look at it on log scale, which we are doing, and we can start to see trends. We can see when it's gone up, down, just with our eyes. But there is, of course, a more scientific statistical way to look at this using trendlines is one, as well as percentile bands around the trendline, which I showed last video. But we can also measure the trendlines at different epochs, different periods. From here, obviously, in the Federal Reserve themselves have kind of said this, as I mentioned in the last video, Ben Bernanke told Milton Friedman that he thought they didn't do enough during The Great Depression he would never make that mistake. Again, he told Milton Friedman in the end of the 90s. Of course he did not make that mistake. He followed through with his word on certainly doing things. Once the markets were in trouble. Nonetheless, yes, the Federal Reserve balance sheet did plump here at the end of World War I. It pumped at the end of World War II. But still, we look at this period, what's called the great moderation, and then of course we have the global financial crisis, which it just goes, haywire. Trillions and trillions of dollars were printed. Again, it's not completely technically correct to say that the Federal Reserve's balance sheet equals the printing press. It's very close, but you have to look at the liability side.

Automation & Remote Management With Foreman and Daniel Lawrence
"Let's start off though for those who weren't around or didn't listen to the podcast last time just like your one O one intro on foreman. Yeah, yeah. So foreman, we are minor management and facility management. We like to consider ourselves to be more facility management software these days. So back when we started traditional minor management rebooting, configuring machines, high level we give you a central dashboard that you can go to where you can see all the machines you have deployed in your fleet. Could even be spread across multiple sites. So kind of one page where you can see it in control at all, was just rebooting pool changing, firmware upgrading, kind of maintenance of the machines, management of the machines, and then it's expanded a lot over the last year, where now we're more facility management. So we're integrating with network switches, integrating with PD us, integrating what as an example of somebody has a cooling tower, maybe they're running the new ant space, forgot what it's called the HK three or something like that. If you have a cooling tower and it has stats on the cooling tower, we can integrate with that, bring all the flow sensors, temperature, humidity, all that stuff in. So it's really more big, big picture now. Facility management. And then the other side within the last 8 months or so, we've been working pretty hard towards curtailment features, so helping people turn their minds off when they need to be turned off and turn them on when they need to be turned on. Okay, I think a great thing to go through would be what this looks like in practicality for anyone who's sort of outside scope, because I think most people come from and I'm going to plug in my minor. And it's going to talk to a pool, and then I get payouts to my wallet. They're not necessarily thinking about it from a different perspective. That middle way, wow. That middle where a layer. So walk me through maybe like a deployment. Yeah, the easy way to think why form in if you have one minor or two minors, you probably feel pretty personally connected with them. I know we did when we were hobby mining back in 2016 or so. You have two minors, you can pretty much give each one a name, and you know how to access each one. Every minor has a web page on it, and that's how you configure it traditionally. There but they get to be hard to scale. So when you go from one or two minors to hundred or a thousand and you're trying to track things that are maybe dead, where the scanning tool is not going to pick it up anymore, you need something that's a little more robust. It has a little more state to it also. So you want something that says, I found a hundred miners at some point. Now I'm only finding 98, and these two that I know existed are now offline. So that's the piece you're missing with. Scripts and BTC tools and stuff like that.

Israel tensions ease as Netanyahu pauses judicial overhaul
"Israel's political factions opposed to embattled prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had begun setting up negotiating teams after he paused a controversial overhaul plan on a pensions legislation. Netanyahu has acknowledged the division's roiling the nation, and has announced a month long delay for the legislation. He says he wants to avoid Civil War and would seek a compromise. He spoke after tens of thousands of people demonstrated outside the parliament building in Jerusalem, but compromise appears elusive as the standoff remains over the fundamental issue of what kind of country Israel should be and positions only appear to have hardened. Three months of demonstrations have intensified this week and Israel's main trade union declared a general strike, leading to chaos that shut down much of the country. I'm Charles De Ledesma

Protests Continue to Roil Across Israel and France
"Continue to roil across Israel and France all night long in this morning is Israel considers prime minister Netanyahu and his coalition. Our gathering to consider whether or not to pause the legislation, which is now reached the floor of the platinum session, the Connecticut can pass it, I believe, with one rating they've done all the amendments they worked all weekend. They're right up on the brink of winning. About hundreds of thousands of Israelis don't like it. Same people that voted against Netanyahu and the coalition, you know, a few months ago I don't like it. So they're out in the streets. They've closed Ben Gurion Airport this morning. Port is closed. In France, protesters who lost the election in Macron are now being joined by black clad anarchists and are burning down buildings in various parts in and has put out a story this morning. Is it safe to travel to France? The answer is yeah, but know what you're doing is going to be garbage on the street. So both countries have to decide whether or not their leaders who recently won, and I just remember when prime minister Liz truss, she's now a former prime minister Liz truss blinked when she won the election over Rishi sunak to replace Boris Johnson Great Britain last year, she put out a budget, the left wing exploded, a panicked financial elite, and she blinked and her government felt. And I think you have to consider that Netanyahu and Macron both look at what happened to trust. Indeed, they have to look a little bit at what happened to Donald Trump in 2017 when traps were laid for him by the outgoing Obama administration, and they have to consider, do I blink now if I blink, will it all fall apart?

Caller: Large Crowd Was Very Engaged for President Trump in Waco
"At the rally Saturday. I understand. Tell me about it, please. Yes, sir. I was at the rally and my mom got there about 5 a.m. and already there was about a hundred people in line and hundreds more coming in and it was just very enthusiastic crowd. We ended up being about 7 rows from the stage and just a great crowd of people and a good rally. What do you say to those supposed know it alls who say that mister Trump's popularity is lacking these days that the crowds are not as enthused, they're not as large. What would you say to them? I would say it was still a very, very large crowd and I would say that the poll numbers are fine. There was about, I would say 8, 8000, maybe 10,000 inside the gate and then however many thousands outside that were there. And again, it was 80°. And just very, you know, sports going on and I like him is primarily conservative, but it was in a more liberal part of town and so to bring that many people out, I mean, that was still incredible numbers. Based on your experience that day, are you even more of a supporter of president Trump than you were before? I mean, did this experience lead you to fight even harder for his election again? Oh yes, yes. I was already, I don't think I could get much more enthusiastic than I already am, but yeah, for sure. For sure. Benjamin. Go ahead, finish your thought, I'm sorry. It was just a very enthusiastic speech and I think one of his best ones yet and he was very got the crowd very engaged

Did the American Founders Warn Us About Dr. Fauci?
"Here is a question somebody has emailed us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Charlie, have you caught any part of the Fauci documentary? What are your thoughts? All right, I have not watched the Fauci documentary. I've watched little bits and pieces that I've seen out there. This guy is everything the founding fathers tried to warn us about. The framers the founders, the promise of the American founding, by the way, I think needs to be a constant rallying cry for the conservative movement. The framers got it right. It is a unifying principle that unites people of all different backgrounds and races and creeds and religions. The American founding is so beautiful. When it's properly understood, not understood through a liberal lens that can the American founding was illiberal in some ways. That's a separate topic if we want to cover that later. But the founders and the framers warned us about people like Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci is an evil person. I don't have delight in saying that. I don't say that lightly. And Anthony Fauci has done significant damp, not just significant damage. Generational damage. No one voted for Anthony Fauci? He is a violation of the consent to the governed Anthony Fauci is against every one of the core promises of the structure of the U.S. Constitution, consent to the governed, separation of power, checks and balances, he's against all of it. He stands against it. So Anthony Fauci has a new documentary out, let's first go to cut 25, a D.C. resident confronts Anthony Fauci and the vaccine play cut 25. People in America are not settled with the information that's been given to us right now. So I'm not going to be lining up taking a shot on a vaccination for something that wasn't clear in the first place. And then you all create a shot and miraculous time. If it allows thousands of people like you, don't get vaccinated, you're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world. Something like the common flu then, right? You gonna pass. Yeah, definitely. Because when you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, it's something else going on with that. That's okay, because y'all campaign is about fear. It's about inciting fear in people you all attack people with fear. That's what this pandemic is. He's confronting Anthony Fauci straight to his face. Why don't more Senate Republicans have as much courage as him?

"Since the taliban overtook kabul the united states has been evacuating tens of thousands of americans and afghan refugees. The white house says that since the end of july the successfully evacuated more than one hundred thousand people but now the next step in this process presents a big question one that has become a political flash point where we'll all these afghan refugees go and with such a high influx of refugees to process. How can we ensure that they've been properly. Vetted some republicans and democrats to worry that too. Many afghans who have helped the us in the past twenty years of war will be left behind others mostly conservatives from nativist anti immigrant factions of the country. Worry that too. Many refugees will be allowed to come to the us. The biden administration has been messaging that the influx of refugees will not lead to any unvetted afghans entering the country we're conducting thorough security screening and the intermediate stops. They're making for anyone who was not a us citizen or lawful permanent resident of the united states. Anyone arriving in the united states will have undergone a background check and and we must all work together to resettle thousands of afghans who ultimately qualify for refugee status. United states will do our part. We're already but they are in a tough spot as they try to help afghans who helped the us. While also ensuring each person undergoes significant vetting and security checks so how is the biden administration.

"Wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and a question that i would put to. Both of you is if we assume for the sake of this podcast that the biden administration is successful that they meet this august thirty first deadline and the evacuation phase of this is over. Are we then entering in sort of a refugee emergency phase of this crisis. What happens to these tens of thousands of people that have just been hastily removed from this country. Well you know. We've seen this in the past and afghanistan going way back to the soviet invasion in nineteen seventy nine. This touched off a huge refugee crisis. Millions of afghans fled to pakistan and to iran when the taliban took over a quarter century ago. You saw another big exodus over time. Some of these refugees have come back. But they're certainly the concern that if the taliban takeover you would see a big refugee outflow. It seems unlikely that they would that. They would be able to get out by plane but they could get across. Land borders and iran and pakistan are the two most likely countries and and i think that's one of many reasons why there has been such frustration and pushback from european allies about this. Despite the fact that you know president biden keeps insisting. That's not happening at all. It's been pretty clear it's been in public. You know Key officials in germany in great britain and other places have been very angry at how the us has handled itself over the past few weeks. I think one reason is that the syrian refugee crisis totally destabilized european politics. I mean that led to the rise of far wing parties among many other things. There's obviously a lot of things different between syria and afghanistan but the idea of another big refugee crisis is something said. Certainly a lot of european heads of government do not want to have to deal with again because it was an enormous challenge. Greg you were just talking about the taliban and how things have changed in afghanistan. I mean they are effectively ruling the country now but they're also trying to present a very different face to the world of more moderate face at least by taliban standards even though we should note that there has been reporting on the ground of them still Gathering people doing repressive regime type things. But how seriously are people taking the taliban in this sort of new more moderate presentation. They're putting forward to the world and how skeptical is the world of them well. There's very deep skepticism. And with good reason. I mean they were in power for five years and they developed a reputation for brutality for especially for limiting the rights of women so i think the burden of proof is on the taliban to show that they've changed now their leadership has been in places like qatar in the middle east. They know what the world is going to demand of them and therefore they know what they should say that will sound pleasing to western ears or two two other people around the world So yes they say. They'll allow women to work within the the norms of islamic society islamic law. But they're not defining any of these details and they had sort of a strange statement the other day of well. Some of our fighters are rank and file fighters may not quite know how to treat women in public so women should probably stay home and try to work from home for a little while 'til we sort that out and so already. You can see some potential cracks here where the leadership may be saying. One thing and the taliban fighters or taliban members on the streets may be doing something else. I think they're in a real contradiction here. The taliban want foreign embassies to stay open. They want assistance from the rest of the world. They know they need that but they do have some fundamental principles that they've never really compromised on and if they're pushing the us and its allies out the door They could very much find themselves in a position of isolation once again and i think it's it is worth pointing out that there is deep deep deep deep deep could keep going skepticism from the global community that the taliban is going to be significantly different than it was twenty years ago and and that it's going to run a more open and welcoming government. I think president biden would be delighted if that was the case. But i don't think anyone at the un is making plans for that to happen. All right. I think we'll leave it there. Greg mary.

"Podcast. I'm susan davis. I cover congress. I'm scott detro-. I covered the white house and in remarks at the white house on tuesday. President biden said the. Us is on track to soon complete airlifts out of afghanistan. We're currently on pace to finish by august. thirty first. the sooner we can finish the better. Each day of operations brings added restore troops our colleague. Greg covers national security for npr and he joins us now. Hi greg hey sue. So let's start with this. Is it possible for the us to evacuate all the people. It is promising to evacuate over the next six days. Well it's a fuzzy number. We don't know exactly what that figure is. We and others have been pressing for days and days. The us says it wants to get out. Every american who wants to get out and all afghans who worked with the americans and others. Now who are at risk. But what is that number of about as we speak forty four hundred americans have have come out but when you go to a country as an american citizen you don't have to register at the embassy and when you leave you don't have to deregister so therefore it's kind of hard to figure out exactly how many american citizens are in a country of the the. Us officials say they've been in contact via phone or email with with us citizens that they're aware of and try to get them out. We've heard now for a third time. The us military helicopter from the airport in kabul to pick up a us citizens and bring them back so they are going to some pretty extraordinary links to try to make it happen. The question is the numbers trying to figure out. Exactly how many are there and this tight tight deadline. Which is fast approaching. The white house has been pretty defensive about its inability to to provide. This number has really explained this point over and over again and it's worth pointing out that even as the white house has been increasingly proud to give two or three times a day. Updates of like the baseball stadiums worth of people a day. That it's airlifting out of afghanistan right. It wasn't actually until yesterday that the government said how many americans have been evacuated but than four thousand according to the pentagon which of course means a big chunk of the people who were evacuate or none of those airplanes we're afghans is obviously people from other countries where were evacuated as well though. That's my other question. Greg is what exactly or how much do we know about who is still there and how they're going to get out right so it's presumed to be a few thousand more americans but perhaps still tens of thousands of afghans and they've kind of expanded the categories Before the before the big crisis started just a couple of weeks ago it was people known as siv's people with special immigrant visas. These were the translators interpreters who'd worked with the us troops over the past twenty years. But now that we've we've seen this. This group expanded it again. It was their family members. So we're talking close baby up around twenty thousand of the siv's plus family members and you get up. Maybe seventy eighty ninety hundred thousand but we're also talking now about the category. They're calling just at risk and these might be a journalist or people who've worked in the afghan government and feel. They've been at risk where they've received threats in some fashion from the taliban so that that number is expanding all of these these huge bureaucratic requirements at the state department Had put in place have kind of fallen by the wayside not entirely but but it's getting much looser about who can who can get on a flight at the airport now. These people are still supposed to be vetted when they arrive at a at a way station at an airbase in qatar germany. But as we've seen everybody's had to scramble because this has become such a such a rush operation there's a lot of pressure right now on biden from lawmakers in both parties from world leaders saying don't stick to don't make a hard deadline scott. Why is the white house so insistent that they keep this hard deadline. Why not push it back. While i think first of all remember this all started because biden was anxious to get out of afghanistan. He didn't want any more soldiers there. He wanted to follow through on a promise. He wanted to be the president who actually delivered on the promise of leaving afghanistan and i the spring than early this summer. He said the united states is pushing through with this and when will be completely out of this country by september eleventh. The twentieth anniversary of the nine eleven attacks obviously a symbolic symbolic deadline but also kind of the after effects of some some loose agreements that the trump administration had had had agreed to with the taliban afghanistan's government last year. Biden is trying to walk a fine line here. the messaging from the white house is that the us is on pace to achieve. Its goals of airlifting. Americans and afghan allies out of the country by the thirty. First that it's going to happen by that deadline anyway. I think a lot of people on the ground are very skeptical that that deadline will be met so. I don't know if that talking point will have to change. The deadline gets closer. It's clear there are still people on the ground but right now you can clearly see. The president try to satisfy both sides by saying so far The thirty first is the deadline. And the other thing. I'd add is that he national security advisor jake sullivan. Other administration officials have been saying a lot more bluntly lately that they are worried. The longer that Thousands of troops are securing the airport perimeter the more vulnerable. They are to an attack from isis k. Which is a terror group in inside afghanistan among other groups. Great obviously the. The taliban is a factor here. There was a story reported earlier in the week that the cia director william burns actually went to afghanistan and met with leaders of the taliban on monday. What do we know about that meeting. So cia director. William burns flew to kabul and he had a meeting with the effectively. The top taliban political leader mulla abdul. Ghani bara dr. He has been a top taliban figure going way back. And he's got quite a history. We don't know where they met or what they discussed. Obviously there were short term issues like this august thirty first deadline. There's also the question of what sort of relationship the us. And the taliban might have after august thirty first and when the us is gone but quite striking. I think it really shows that the us and the taliban are being pretty pragmatic here..

"Look before you lock paid for by nitsa. Roosevelt biden talked to the nation. Again yesterday about the evacuation efforts in afghanistan and for summary. The in case you missed it boxes. Rachel sutherland joins us now. With the latest mourning rachel. Hey good morning yeah. This is a rare sunday address there the roosevelt room. The president said that look they're talking about possibly extending the evacuation operation and he alluded to some kind of almost covert operation to get americans out. He said that the state department is trying to contact. Americans still in afghanistan and The it gets them safely to the airport but he cited security reasons in not going into any kind of detail there as to how the operation will work. How about afghan supporters of america. Who need to get out. It sounds like they're not being allowed out anymore. Well the taliban has been having these checkpoints right so they are some people who are getting through. Some people who are not and the question is why because they agree to allow You know to have amnesty essentially letting people out who helped us. Forces and coalition forces And in american as well Having hard time getting to the airport but Without is on the ground. It's difficult to know exactly What the situation is. There was a reported firefight overnight At the airport one of the checkpoints. They're in which an afghan guard was killed. That's according to german. The german military There were us troops involved but The one casualty who was the Afghan guard so Things do not appear to be getting any better except for there. Are people getting out. The white house at eleven thousand flew out over the weekend. Yeah eleven thousand and we also have the story this morning. It's plans called for thirty three. Us air force c seventeen to head to hamid karzai international airport in the next twenty four hours. We also heard that there was some discussion about having a commercial aircraft. Get involved in all of this and we're just wondering why why wasn't there any. Why wasn't this plan for the There's been some confusion about the airline. They are going to be Going to third countries. So what's happening is. The afghan allies are being sitting third countries for screening. So they commercial airlines will go there to help them on with their journey And so yeah. The big question is why wasn't this. Plan for to get the americans out first and the allies out the first before The military would leave at. The white house is explanation for that. Is that it would It would destabilize the afghan government but it was already pretty unstable. It's folded within days So everything twenty twenty in hindsight here but certainly the administration is taking it on the chin. All over the place when it comes to this And you know compounding everything. Is that The president warned that now. Isis is a threat to americans there. And that's part of the reason for this You know almost secret. Operation to get americans out and i tried to ask the president as he was wrapping up his remarks about isis. But i i didn't get a response. This particular branch of isis butts heads with the taliban i mean they. They've been fighting in the past. That's right. It's called isis k. And they have thought in the past now In in the past being you know would say twenty fifteen in years like that where they would they. The president said there's one at a time like this you know i don't know that i would trust it. The the taliban wouldn't give You know a cover to some of the terror groups in the region and that just again ups the ante and the taliban saying that they don't wanna move the argus thirty first deadline for everybody to be out even though the president confirm yesterday that He's in discussion with military leaders about extending the evacuation operation. Also read that Only us citizens citizens of nato countries and there was a third category. I can't remember what it was but it did not include. These are the people who are being allowed access to the airport or eventual flights out but it does not include those afghans who have applied for special visas because they helped american troops while they were there. Who's who's keeping them out at a us forces or is it that Is that the taliban. Yeah that's a very good question. The taliban controls the checkpoint the us troops are in control of the karzai airport Is but the exact. It's just it's so chaotic to be able to say okay. Who is it. That's keeping who out Right now is is nearly impossible to determine but certainly the taliban is complicating things and begins to beg the question of and not to be alarmist. But at what point does this become almost a hostage situation for. Us citizens if they can't get out they can't get to where they need to go They may not be kept in a room somewhere all together. The they can't get out and that that is something that is a dire situation in as it continues as the days drag on When when do we say that That they are now you know captives and how about i. I would imagine the situation at the airport. They they getting food. They getting services and how about the kovic situation. Oh wow yeah. I mean as far as code. That i've seen some pictures where people are wearing now masks but you can just imagine with the kind of massive humidity there What that is like. I have seen also the military putting out pictures of Soldiers handing out water to dennis. Who were there and that was going to be another one of my questions yesterday. If i would have gotten one is we're going to drop you. Know food supplies through the people who were there. I mean they know. Mary may look at it like well. There's a bunch of people there at the airport who aren't weren't allies are just trying to escape. You want to you know. Try to encourage them to stick around or because it's it's part of the chaos would just atkins general wanting to flee all rut. Comes right back down to no planning no snow strategic planning even if even if the president was right and he really did not believe that this was going to happen you would think they would have planned for it all right.

"We could have staved off And it's going to be this. Tragedy is going to continue on fold for months and years on the point about a kinder in general gentler taliban There is a an anecdote from a may journal new story that jumped out at me and has stuck with me and i'll just read a couple lines. It starts saying though. The taliban support the practice of punishing theft by amputating a limb such amputations rarely occur in taliban territory today. And then it goes on to caveat that and says the movement spokesman said. Amputation should be reinstated. Once a sufficiently stable system is in place including health care to attend to cut off limbs unquote and and i mean another line from biden speech. Bill that jumped out at me was this. He said we'll continue to speak out for the basic rights of the afghan people of women and girls. And i just don't think speaking out is is going to be enough yet. He's going from commander in chief to community organizer right. We're going to speak out You know we did more than speak out in these past twenty years. we've We we actually helped create the conditions that allowed life to improve for afghan women in the afghan people. It that is one of the great ironies of this joe biden has pitted strategic interests. You know War strategies based on strategic interests against those based on you and writes in fact what afghanistan proves that their their hand in glove they worked together. Does anyone believe that the afghanistan we're going to see today's going to be more respectful of human rights than it was before that it's going to be any better than the last time. The taliban were an office so it's vanity. it allows them to feel good about themselves by saying we care. But that's not gonna help you know. Think think of these afghan women now hiding in hiding in their homes. I have three daughters. I think what. Would i be doing if i were a dad over there with three daughters hiding them in my house and There's no way out. What do you do so i i think this is again. Just going to add to a great deal of cynicism. I don't get the sense. The president has any understanding of the hit. His own reputation has taken the hit. The american people's Reputation has taken for standing by an ally and what the consequences of that will be for his own administration. Yeah on that point. There was a an interesting tweet from chinese state media on tuesday or monday. I think and here. It is from what happened in afghanistan. Those in taiwan should perceive that once a war breaks out of the straits the island's defense will collapse an hours and the us military won't come to help unquote and kim. That is a quite a stark message. From chinese state media. Coming out of this and one of the jokes of this is joe biden suggesting that by withdrawing Our forces here. We're going to able to to focus on more immediate threats..

"I think would've looked like what we had a residual force mostly rooted in air power. The one advantage that the afghan government had over the taliban There for a while. And maybe that is indefinite. But we're still in korea. We're still in japan With the i think it's forty thousand troops or something you know a seventy years after we defeated toho We're still in germany. You know after we defeated hitler and the collapse of the soviet union. And we're there for our own interests because it's a way of keeping Keeping you know. Law and order basically rule of law and safety. And i do not see how withdrawing from afghanistan you know we have no basis or anything in the six countries near how then increases our capability. It seems to me that it was a very small investment. The most of the combat fighting had had been done. And i think we could've kept the worst from happening. Kept it from having a government like before that is willing to shelter al qaeda and so forth and so i think for the bang for the buck for small residual force and that came up against one thing. Joe biden's predetermined Insistence that he's going to make a political announcement that he got us out of the forever war. That's the only reason all this happened. And then kim to your point about taking responsibility. I i mean i agree with that. It was only in july. I think that biden was saying that. the likelihood that the taliban we're going to overrun everything and own. The whole country is highly unlikely and even even former democratic aides are pointing at this and saying it's debacle. I mean here's leon panetta defense secretary. Under barack obama quote. He didn't really spend much time on the issue that i think really concerns the american people. Which is the execution of that decision. It just struck me that they were crossing their fingers and hoping chaos would not result. And it doesn't that way unquote. So kim i mean is there is there are going to be any any accountability for this well. It's interesting that you are hearing those statements. Here's another one Some of you may remember ryan crocker. The former ambassador to afghanistan during the obama administration also incredibly critical He was on an interview on bloomberg news. Recently and said this quote it is beyond disingenuous for the president to say now we've made all these inputs and it is up to them to fight for their own country when he president by embraced the process and he owns it lock stock and barrel president trump's process guaranteeing that the government would probably not survive He also pointed out that you know for those who are. I think just ridiculously thinking that. Well maybe this taliban is a better taliban and we're not going to see the regime that we have before he he pointed out. This is not a kinder gentler taliban if anything they are tougher and meaner And so that's why president biden's problems aren't over yet given we've had all of these horrible scenes in the last Few days but there's gonna be more because the taliban is going to go and we're going to start seeing a resumption of the beheadings and the executions and the abuse of human rights when it comes to women and Young girls and everyone else who doesn't do exactly what the taliban says And he's going to have to deal with those images as well and he can say well not my fault but look we could have maintained a presence there..

"From the opinion pages of the wall street journal. This is potomac watch. Welcome back on this point about a third option. What's also really striking in a lot of the reporting on this is this issue of maintenance on afghan air force planes helicopters and there were. Us contractors there. That were helping do that. They were removed when they're the troops that were supporting them in protecting them. Were removed and then there are these these remarkable stories of afghan People who are working on these planes or have an issue with these helicopters doing essentially zoom maintenance calls to us contractors who are no longer in the country. And so i mean the question becomes if if if i had gone with this third option of leaving a handful of troops there five thousand whatever it may be Do you think that would have been enough to prevent this kind of collapse that we've seen and then how do you answer the question that by asks then which is how long do they stay right. Well let me go back to one of the thing before before we finish up on joe biden accepting responsibility Again let me put in a plug for my old boss. George w bush. You know i i wrote with some colleagues to surge speech and if you compare the surge speech to biden speech yesterday you will see a stark comparison then is now. Everyone wanted us out of iraq even the conservatives. No one wanted to hear. Where more troops. But but george bush insisted himself on inserting align. That says the troops in iraq have done everything. I have asked of them. The fault is all mine that we haven't done better. I mean talk about taking the buck and saying it stops here was very clear. And then he outlined what what goes forward so there are examples of of leadership. I do think that it is possible. We could have had a small force and and remained. You know it's just it's just amazing to me. These kind of silly words like over the horizon capacity that mean that's like the wizard of oz somewhere over the rainbow. You know there's going to be a bomber or something that's going to keep afghanistan to the straight narrow. It's it's just absurd That you can substitute for having a footprint there. And i don't see why the us couldn't stay as it was. I i think maybe they would need a slightly bigger force in twenty five hundred. I mean i'm not an expert but What what a payoff. I mean sometimes The the test of afghanistan is not whether we saw it transitioned to become you know like belgium but whether we staved off the worst and You know gave them an umbrella to develop and so forth Over time you look at what we did. I think the best analogy is korea. Cre- was a nasty country at the korean war. We stuck through with the koreans through presidential coups. Assassinations all sorts of brutalities against their Their own people and we gave them kind of an umbrella and introduce him to the trading system and they eventually claim their own freedom but it was a it was a decades long process. So i do think we can do that. And i do think one of the tragedies is that no one has really a except i would say our editorial page has really tried to sell this vision of what is the middle ground between an endless war with eighty thousand americans fighting and a complete pullout..

"You know being fifty four thousand people in this fight over the years. It's it's the fault of everyone. But joe biden and i was. I was surprised at the degree to which he doubled down. And i think we got a glimpse of that. Joe biden like remember that this was all done for one reason so that on the twentieth anniversary of nine eleven he could stand before the american people and say i'm the one who has delivered us from america's longest war. It was a political Politically motivated decision. He didn't and then all the military Problems followed from that. Because that meant to do that we would have to start leaving during the fighting season. You know imagine trying to get your family out the back door while you're fighting an enemy at the front door so i don't think history is gonna look well on joe biden for what he said yesterday and i think it's not over. Also people don't realize the The mess of an operation. That this has become i mean. I'm sure that the military are imposing some order at the airport now and so forth but you send six thousand men into chaotic zone to stable to to stage a pullout of everyone. I mean there's all sorts of potential for example for for tragedy and forget. You know one could be the. The taliban could shoot something down. But even if they don't helicopters go down all the time. I do not think. This paints joe biden. Well as commander of chief. I think he put cheap politics ahead of Strategic interests and people's lives and i think the grim consequences that are playing out in afghanistan is the result the part that i found most frustrating about his remarks that He he sets up this choice without admitting that there was a middle option. I mean he said essentially that president trump negotiated a deal to withdraw american troops in may and then here was the line from by then he said. Let me find it here. quote there was only the cold reality of either following through on the agreement to withdraw forces or escalating the conflict and sending thousands more american troops back into combat in afghanistan unquote and cam. What's notable about that statement It's either a or b is that there was a choice in the middle of those and we know that all all the reporting suggests that binds own generals suggested leaving several thousand troops in afghanistan to support the government To essentially provide a backing and reconnaissance and intelligence and You know maintenance on some of the air force planes and at biden overrule that that Proposal from his own generals. Yeah i mean the idea that he is stuck with whatever. Donald trump of the que-. Tim this deal that donald trump may which by the way we were critical of But i have lost track of how many donald trump policies joe biden has overturned since he got into office it. It's mind boggling. It's dizzying and so to suggest that somehow he had to just follow the course here by what was given them Especially because the taliban had already violated its pledges under that deal so would have been very easy to say. Hey you folks aren't Abiding by the rules of the game And we're not going to actually Withdraw until conditions are met on the ground The in a way that allows us to get this was certainly what was recommended by as you said his advisors It was also what was recommended by the afghanistan study group. There were many alternatives like a ton of alternatives in between those two things that he presented as the only options as either We totally get out or we. Totally ramp up That was never never the actual reality facing joe biden and it also just ducked and i think this is very important It was a terrible speech and just an embarrassment..

"It was just yet charlie schalke. Marianne you've competed for australia. You've won medals. You've been on that world stage. Can you talk us through the precious and would be feeling. Yeah i mean like she said herself she has the weight of the world on our shoulders sometimes With all those labels that people put on our thing the best in the world all the greatest of all time. I can only imagine what she's going through. But the competition last night was a bit special in the fact that the team competitions actually three women competing and all of their scores count. So there's absolutely no room era and having competed in that environment myself at two championships. I can tell you that the pressure is so intense. And i think that that's something that the general public really struggling to understand right now from what i've been hearing. Yeah what do you think it is that people are struggling to understand that you know the the decision she made after she had the mental block. It's not continued. Was the right coal and i think people Thinking well she's a professional athlete. She should be able to continue but they don't understand that. Getting lost in the air can be really terrifying and have dire consequences. I mean if she continued competing than she could have potentially got an injured or performance which might have cost the us team the silver medal that they earned at the end of the day. Yeah and marianne. Can you talk us through the difficulty of some of the moves that she's doing you know she's done things that people have never done in history and gymnastics. I mean how much is at stake when she she used doing those moves. And what does it been like for you when you're doing that kind of thing on these kind of stage. Yeah well the you know you're seeing the best of the best of the olympics and world championships and the skills that these women and men in gymnastics doing are just insanely difficult and could cause really serious injury for example one of my teammates in two thousand seventeen She's an olympian. Emily little got lost in the air at on national championships doing a full twisting double out and she actually landed on a head and burke connect which ended her career. So you know he. If you're a person in the general public thinking that getting lost in the is in a good enough reason for someone to stop competing then. I think that's proof enough that what these women are doing is really serious stuff. Yeah it really is. two courtney. Walton is with us as well. So you're a sports psychologist. I mean what would samarn psychologists be telling her at the moment when she's trying to make these massive decisions about competing. Yeah thanks for having me. Look i think I would imagine that that the psychologist is going to be working with her to support. Whatever decision she thinks is best for at this time And kind of working with what are the values. And what are the things that that is really hoping to get out of the olympics I think we saw some of that. And how she responded working with the the teammates in the team after her decision supporting them And still being involved in in every way possible And hopefully she's going to have a lot of support for herself as well We know that peer support and support from the system is so important for athletes are experiencing difficulties with them into health And it looks from the outside Like that's there for her at this point. Could you work with young elite sports people. What is it like having that pressure. How does it affect your health. Even though these people are obviously trying to achieve the best in this sport yeah. I think it's something we're starting to understand a bit more and recognize I think in the pastas being the sense. That maybe those competing in these settings almost immune to experiencing difficulties with mental hilton was saying more and more that that's not the case and the research that we do shows that approximately one in three athletes have kinda pretty concerning symptoms of mental. Ill health And a lot of that we think is to do with some of the systems that are in place and some of the pressures that athletes face Which i think we in the public sometimes take for granted. Speaking of those systems. I mean gymnastics in particular has been so under scrutiny for these marianne moncton. Who's a former late gymnast. Talk to us about that. Culturing in gymnastics. We've seen it here in australia in the us. There's been a lot around nasa who has been found to have abused several young gymnasts and samoan balls is the lost remaining competitor who has survived that abuse. I mean tell us about that culture because it is just such a big pot of gymnastics at the moment. Yeah you're right. L. sport has been under the limelight in the last year or so suits through release of netflix documentary. Athlete a which highlighted some of that abusive Culture that you're speaking about. And i think some institution to stop competing last night actually shared. That does a bit of a shift happening in sports culture in that number one. She wasn't afraid to actually speak up when she was struggling. And number. two. Your coaches and support network actually listened to her and then the decision was made. And this is something that we're really not used to seeing in gymnastics so iheart thought the young generation watching and even the general public can be inspired by this and that can be brought about in the sport. Moving forward variant. How do we as people watching these olympics. Add to that pressure. Is that a thing i mean. Yeah for sure All of us athletes so usually on social media and we see what people saying Even the mainstream media sir. It's just really important to you. Know as athletes try to block it out. But there's only so much you can do. I mean somebody is one of the best gymnasts. We've ever seen sir. I imagine it would be to put that out of line when she's competing for sure and look just about to wrap up a very anura kirch. Now what are you hoping for the next generation of people you'll bringing through the sport as a coach myself. I really just tried to listen to the athletes and empower them to make decisions for themselves. And i just really try to help. Guide them through that and i believe that gymnastics is a fantastic sport. That can teach so many important lessons. That young people can take through the rest of their lives. So that's my Mentality yet it's amazing. Marianne moncton really appreciate you trying to us. thank you. And dr courtney walton sports psychologist. Thank you as well razz in melbourne. His texted if simone had pulled out due to a physical injury. No one would bat an eyelid. We should feel the same way her pulling out due to mental illness. She has formers named off to her. She's amazing and she knows what she's an easing opt to doing. Hashtag role model. I think we can all totally agree with that. Hack on triple j. This is a super hot breaking texts that we got during the show. One of my best friends was an incredible gymnast had an accident at training and injured his spine putting her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. If you aren't feeling one hundred percent it's definitely not a sport where you should take the risk. Anyway i stand behind simone all the way. It's great to see that. There is a lot of positivity in support for these young athletes who yeah protecting themselves and their own health before. Yeah getting ahead the olympics. And you thanks so much for listening to hack. I'll catch you on the next episode. This is an abc podcast..

"Buddy week thames and roy's with that story leaving queensland's texted. I've had to delayed instagram. Because of body image issues and seeing way too much plastic it was honestly starting to make me feel so unworthy. Inhaled my buddy. I'm feeling so much better without it. No one else to compare to someone else's texted there's an app. We basically teach young people that today. Pretty you need to have surgery yet. It's everywhere on social media at the moment. Love to hear from you call me. Have you had cosmetic surgery. I'd love to know why one three hundred triple five three six dr. Tony pico sees a psychologist she researches and traits people getting cosmetic procedures. Thank you so much for coming on the show so when people come to you and they say i'm thinking about cosmetic surgery or i've just got it. What kind of head space do they in. yeah. I think it's a little bit different for everyone for some older women. Sometimes it can be that they're noticing the signs of aging and they want to slow it down. They wanna look a bit more refreshed for younger people. I think the social media is making a huge impact an offense driven from a place of low confidence as well. It's driven by psychological raisins or having low self esteem. Maybe wanting to fit in more sometimes external raisins like wanting to make friends will find a new relationship Which can often. I think complicate the process. It's there's a lot of discussion that needs to go around realistic expectations. Yeah how is it that when you say something on on social media like i see all the baby l. stuff on to talk and then you know it's kinda just like a bit of fascination but then how does that translate to actually getting these procedures done. I think part of it is. There's possibly a bit of a predisposition in the sense that maybe off social media people might be struggling a little bit. Waste their self esteem. Possibly they might be seeking something more in their lives. Something that they're not particularly satisfied with and then suddenly they look on social media and are these people who might look like they have really perfect lives by the really happy they might have lots of friends around and sometimes social media can send the message that that's because they look a certain way which could be because they have the cosmetic surgery so it promotes these beliefs that. Hey maybe to get that life that. I want to feel happy to be more popular. This surgery or this procedure is going to be so for me. I'm came to hear about those really big procedures. We just heard from some young women who spent tens of thousands of dollars on these lifts and they sound so painful in terms of the recovery. As well i mean you. Would you advise people when they think you've getting those really full on procedures. Yeah i think it's really important. Firstly to as. I was mentioning expectations. I think to get really in touch with what the motivations office seeking that procedure. So is it something that they just dissatisfied with their bum. They want a bit of a big above. They know what the realistic changes are. That are going to happen. And their understanding of them okay. That's one part of it that they that that's all they're looking for if they're looking about looking to feel more confident about themselves. That's not necessarily gonna come just from a cosmetic procedure. There might be more work that needs to be done to build up that confidence but on the other side is about really understanding the risks. So something like the brazilian boatlift as you said comes with quite substantial risks substantial costs like for this go. We would just listen to she. She wants to have a follow up treatment done so it's not just the one surgery necessarily that she's paying for but it could be a longer term commitment so i think they need to really understand And then be able to make a critical decision about whether it's the right choice for them with all of the information in mind tonio training of the person that's going to be doing it. Yeah lots of dodgy. Doctors around came to get your thoughts on these texts. Someone says i had minorities done when i was twenty one. I'm so glad i did it. It changed how i felt about myself. But as for the butler. If this is something you can achieve by doing something like exercise but you know there are a lot of people who feel better. Once they do cosmetic surgery of any form other positives to it. Yeah absolutely and i think the the majority of people who do get cosmetic procedures done and cosmetic surgeries. I really satisfied with the results particularly when something like a nice job if it's really concentrated on the noise that's what they're unhappy with. They have reasons why they're unhappy with it. And they know what they might want it to look like. They've got quite realistic expectations. I think they can be pretty satisfied with those results in. It can make a big difference to them. I think sometimes people can come in having really vague expectations for cosmetic treatment just wanting to be more beautiful more popular and they don't actually know exactly what they want done. And that's where. I think it can be more challenging and also people who have preexisting body image issues i think tend to achieve less favorable results. Particularly things. Like body dismore victis disorder where they might not actually be seeing themselves from a completely accurate point of view and so then they don't really notice the change after a procedure diana i think for the majority of people. Yes sorry tony just to cut in. Diana has cooled in an came to you about your experience with plastic cosmetic surgery. What's happened in your case Yeah so i've seen essentially trying My career i. I guess now that game towards my thirties and i was sort of going next four or five years. I wanna put my career. I i think a lot of women are starting to feel that way but this feeling in the back of our heads i still want to be able to. You know. look good. When i get onto the dating scene and find someone so i guess in my head. I'm thinking i'll be dating my early mid thirties. I want to still look young and be able to find someone. So i guess we've that thinking that's lost out to get bartok's now because i as vein as it is and i hope a lot of go start share this thought process but it's the sort of i wanna stay looking how i look now so that i can. I turn my relationships and put my career says without you. Know reducing by i guess attractiveness when i'm older yet and i think that's something that a lot of people feel you know wanting to stay looking a lot younger and figuring out ways to do that. We all feel that pressure mean. How often are you getting very talks. Do you feel like it is a burden to be getting it. All the time I probably get it less than recommended. I get once every six months. But i yeah i guess i feel like maybe if i was already in a relationship with someone going to stay with full long-term i probably wouldn't be getting it but the fact that i hadn't heard that i'm putting my crisis relationships second i feel. I've talked to sort of the polls got on aging. Yeah fair enough. And diana do feel like social media has affected that in any way. Oh absolutely i noticed a lot of guys showing me bills that elected. You know like yeah. They look so good. I think men and women's expectation of how people look now. Is this a really a rice point to it. And i wish i wasn't but i feel like have to step up to. I feel like guys get used to seeing filters goes get used to sing.
