"We do the doctors call. I'm doing it via facetime. My sister's doing it via facetime. The doctor comes to the house we find out. She doesn't have kobe hallelujah. Right and she gets treatment which is great and she really was on the mend about three or four days later. Okay so a few other things that i want to share about this is that i made decisions in advance about how i wanted to handle the situation. I think that's really important now. I would not have been able to make the same kinds of decisions if this was ten years ago. Because i would've been in total reactive mode where i was jumping through hoops for other people. Being being the the phrase in the biz is people pleaser right. That's that's what everyone calls this reactivity and you have to learn how to show up in your truth which doesn't mean abdicating responsibility which doesn't mean not being kind or compassionate. I was very kind and compassionate with my mother is very kind and compassionate with my sister. I showed up. I was articulate. I listened all of these. Things came. Because i was no longer in that reactivity mode of trying to please everyone but being able to step out and see what the situation required and made decisions from that perspective. So that's an important point Did not abdicate. Responsibility didn't stop. Didn't miss a beat. I still got up early still prepared. I was still able to focus I didn't freak out and this is something that again. I learned over time. Because there's there's a. There's a misunderstanding out there. Consciously you understand this. I think. I understood this consciously ten years ago but i didn't understand it in my body in the truth of who i was. Which is that in business and in life guys. The waves are going to keep coming. There are always going to be challenges and this is actually how spirit soars god all the energy that is helps you grow a it puts the next thing in front of you that you need to be challenged by an order to grow so that if you do ron raise yourself toback rise to the occasion right. If you do that you will become more and then you will have more. You'll be working at a higher level if you don't if you continue to react in the way you've always reacted which is freaking out or Being in tears or being notional or and. I'm not saying you don't grieve when you need to grieve. Okay please please. Don't take this as suppressing your emotions. But right now is that the the The true and honest response that you wanna have. Is that going to serve. The the situation at the highest level is not going to allow you to grow into the next level of woman that you want to be. Is this how you you wanna show up. Is this what the situation is calling forward in you crew. You're being so you have to look at all of that. And i learned long ago that that there will always be waves like there is. There are waves in the ocean. They just don't stop. How are you going.

"Treatment for the disorder instead of judgment blame. Yeah absolutely there. Are several studies toback. Laura up one of my favorites surveyed five hundred mental health providers after reading two versions of the same clinical vignette one version. A patient described as a substance abuser. And the other version of the vignette described him as having a substance use disorder the survey respondents. Were our colleagues. These were doctors. Social workers psychologists and those who read about the substance abuser were substantially more likely to blame the individual for their medical issues. They were less likely to offer treatment. They're more likely to recommend punishment and there are more likely to predict violent behaviors from vigna character and the last part of the words matter section worth mentioning is how refer to urine drug screens often. You'll hear words like clean or dirty when healthcare workers talk about a sample with drugs prisoner absent but there are some obvious problems with us. Framing patients bodies or bodily products. That way so to talk about someone who's been cleave amount of time meeting they're either emission or they have been using Whatever they're referring to and not really implied that somebody's after losing drugs is dirty.

What does mark milley ever done as useful overseeing the destruction of the greatest military in the history of the planet play cut thirty-three. It is clear it is obvious. The worn afghantistan did not end the terms. We wanted with the taliban now in power in kabul and we must remember that the taliban was and remains a terrorist organization and they still have not broken ties with al qaeda. I have no illusions who we are dealing with. It remains to be seen whether or not the taliban can consolidate power or if the country were further fracture into civil war. So why did you give them weapons. Then so why did you give them. Blackhawk helicopters mark. Milley mind. You give them rifles. Why did you give them grenades. Why did you give them eighty five billion dollars of our best weapons if they're an enemy and make no mistake. I know who they are.

"They actually looking to take the jeopardy hosting job or were they sort of put in there to sprinkle some diversity in the guest hosting lineup and give the sort of illusion that this was a meritocratic process considering people from lots of different groups. But they weren't actually real candidates and when you actually look at who alex. Rebecca wanted to be his successor. He named a black female lawyer as his successor. Somebody who had seen you know as a guest on tv and he thought that you know. She was very eloquent at her name. Was laura coats. She was not a guest host. And you know maybe she wasn't interested but it's you know it's interesting. That sort of chose these very famous women who maybe aren't really going for the job rather than genuine candidates And they chose these women who had very public in front of the camera job whereas mike richards is someone who'd never been in front of the camera and they didn't give any women who had never been in front of the camera a chance at the job will be bialik though. Obviously being in an actress has been in front of the camera before but obviously in this particular role as a host because it's being in the entertainment industry. It's a much different dynamic being an actress than being the host of a game show. That's right and you know that was another one of my points about this that you know when you're trying to find the person who's the best for the long term. This is actually a really hard job being the host of jeopardy right. I'm sure there's a lot of little subtle timing things you have to get right. There was a lot of things that i bet. Toback made look easy. But i'm sure he was extremely talented right to make it look that easy and so i'm also wondering. How much do they invest in candidates. Who might not have had the same opportunities for preparation so if we know that historically hiring decisions have sort of you know been the biased or certain groups have been historically excluded and certain groups have been historically included that you know the classic game show. Host is a white man. You know Then what are you doing to supplement that preparation so that you're really giving candidates who might be from an underrepresented background a fair shot and you know it would have been very possible to send them to you know a month long hosting boot camp. You know before you do that. I guest hosting stint. Or you know. Do one week of guest hosting then screen it for test. Audiences get the feedback and then go tell the candidates what the test audiences data didn't like and give them the chance to adjust for it. And that's the thing that i think is a real mess in sort of trying to make Trying to push for diversity and hiring the people think well we can't do anything about the pipeline. We can't do anything about what the candidates come in with. We just have to take it as it is and you know what you actually can. You can actually invest in the pipeline. And it's not very costly. You know i'm not talking about you. Have to have a years long host development program. I'm talking about. Why don't you send them to. You know a couple of weeks of boot camp and practice with executive producers so that they have some. They have more of a level playing field. By the time you're actually doing the guest hosting stint and you're screening it for test audiences. How prevalent then do you think. In general in terms of hiring for jobs and this is more of a broader scope. Question that this type of dynamic plays out where in this case you had. The executive producer ended up hiring himself or there there..

Toback press conferences where he read off a teleprompter and then turned around and turned his back on all the reporters and refuse to take a single question and no wonder when he sat down with. George stephanopoulos it was a disaster. This is a disaster. But it's not just joe biden's incompetence we don't even know how many people are in afghanistan. This this government has completely imploded. Listened to the pentagon press secretary john kirby being asked at a reporter by a reporter at the pentagon yesterday. Well how many people are there. How many americans american citizens remain in. And i don't know so so you. I mean you're planning for these operations and you should be some kind of account talk for. Many americans are whether in harm's way or needs to be evacuated. I think as you probably know first of all the state department would be a better place to go for. An estimate of how many americans are afghanistan or in and around kabul. That is not a figure that the united states military would would know. And i think you also know not every american citizen in another country th there's no obligation that they registered their presence and and that we and that you can have a perfect accurate count. We don't know we don't know how many americans were trapped and being held hostage by the taliban.

Okay so fuck jones james toback forget about it anyway but no. I like my directors a little mysterious. He played into that part. This movie though. And i said all that to say that i. This movie to me. Dripped of on the next building It this movie was because they came out they had invented. Some creature creature was going to be. The people are trapped in the village and the creature was going to be there so this was going to be the big. This is going to be the big solidifying movie right.

We're gonna win seven eight oscars. We gotta top-flight hassle when you go into it. Those expectations are really what made us look at the the movie as a slight failure. The fact that such a big deal was made about something that was that just classic im- night fair but just a little bit undo the level of some of the films we had just seen and we were like He didn't quite nail his big golden moment. And then the movie even though it's not that bad the actual film was ruined by the twists. If they would've actually been in a mystical world where there was some kind of demon. That actually would have been better. I agree that actually would have been. That would have made that movie significantly more interesting then what it was because what happened in the in actually rendered a lot of what we watched completely impotent. It rendered a lot of what we had. It was completely unnecessary. And i thought oh man. I didn't come here to watch these crazy. White people like i'll end. That's not what. I wanted to see some special shit and so i. I think that that was actually the point. The film itself is not as horrible as people remember. I think that's the point. Though that the celebrity and the reputation of 'em night started to become In a way at cross purposes with the filmmaker that.

"Because that doesn't actually tight. I mean in a way if people prepare for tightening because you're talking about it to a degree that's tightening but it doesn't impact the markets anywhere near as much as actually tightening would be and by the way just because wages are up four percent year over year. It doesn't mean that american workers are earning more money. they're not because even the official measures of consumer prices are way above four percent year over year. and of course the unofficial actual rate at which consumer prices are rising is far greater than what the government statistics. You will acknowledge but even with those governments statistics. Real wages are falling a nominal. Wage hike of four percent still means that after inflation. You're earning less money. So real wages are declining. They are not going up but again this report. This jobs report does not indicate some booming economy that is going to allow the federal reserve to remove all of the monetary supports that currently exists. In fact absent those monetary supports. The numbers would not be this good. The numbers would be a lot worse if we didn't have all the help from the fed and the fed knows that they remove that help. Then everything is going to implode that's been built on the foundation of artificially low interest rates and quantitative easing in fact more evidence of just how much the economy is depending on all this cheap money was revealed later in the day the same day we got the consumer credit numbers for june and the expectation was for a twenty point eight billion dollar rise in consumer credit and that followed the big jump in may was thirty five point three billion in may which i think at the time maybe it was an all time record and that was actually revised up to thirty six point seven billion so that broke the record but then the record was actually broken again when the june number was released because it wasn't twenty point eight billion. It was thirty seven point. Six billion not only much higher than had been expected but actually higher than the previous month so instead of a big drop we had an even bigger increase. So this is huge back. Toback increases in consumer credit. Where consumers are borrowing money on their credit cards their borrowing money to buy cars for student loans..

So defy allows people do things that banks and large institutions have been doing it forever so the vision for me is hybrid which means centralized orderbook decentralized everything so decentralize settlement decentralized clearing all that great stuff but centralized order books. I think to be honest. That's probably where most of the market's going ahead. And that's where that's our vision. Let's say for the future of of that centralized aspect so much of that is just anti the the Themes of crypto right that this decentralized and that there's freedom to it's the people's money and i know they're going to regulate they've started they're going to continue but there's certain components of the cripple world that they will rebel against that and they will not be regulated. How is that going to play out. What are you gonna prognosticate here. I think in so many aspects you're right but even in the core aspects of what you know that white paper said about twelve years ago. Thirteen years ago. Which was that. One of the as one of the ideas of bitcoin was essentially to create an even playing field for everyone. But it hasn't done that.

Just yell and say this is insane. We're going to lose. those people. A sanders was saying no private insurance at all. Every other country developed country in the world has universal healthcare. Some have single payer. They all have private insurance. And i thought this was nuts and no one would go. This is nuts. 'cause they were there was always this feeling and it started back in twenty seventeen with what i have in the buck. At the people who are rushing to in toback medicare for all them that sanders was somehow not going to be the nominee in the end and they wanted the support of his people for some of them. It was the belief that he was not going to run at all and so that they would be essentially warming to see who would get his supporters but then once the race started in sanders in then it's still thinking. Oh maybe we can try to appeal to folks but but this was the the key of what sanders did hear that. Look he believes in the policy of medicare for all he does but they also made a political calculation. Which is i think. Very smart one for their purposes that no one who signed onto medicare for all even if they were co-sponsoring the bill would ever be as good or pure on it as he was and so they were always saying. I'm with burning your. I agree with bernie with this tweet. And it was an to people who really cared about medicare for all. They were If you believe in that is the thing that's motivating you then you want to go to the person who's behind it. The architect of medicare for all bernie sanders. And even in no matter. What other attempt whether is harris or warrant or all the people who tried to play with it you even get any of it and the other thing that was going on that i think is interesting and then i get into the book a little bit. Is that buddha judge into the fall of two thousand nineteen. His campaign did some polling that ask people what they thought medicare for all was and they found out that a lot of people thought medicare for all was. The public option was the ability to get health insurance. No matter what right And so there was. It was not medicare for all is. That's the only program but medicare anybody can get healthcare. Right and that's buddha. Judge comes up with his various. A point in the book He's a mackenzie guy. Very mckinsey phrase medicare for all who want it but that is actually where the public was among the democratic primary voters this sense where we were as a except four joe lieberman.

Wimbledon Re-Lived 1985
"Hello, everyone and welcome to tennis relived Wimbledon relived day three. We've taken a trip back to nine hundred, seventy, eight and nineteen, eighty and today we're taking a trip back to nineteen eighty five. We are firmly now in the territory of David, laws voiced and cavernous memory I. Don't know if that's a good thing necessarily, but but it's where we are you doing David. I I'm enjoying trip down memory lane, and yeah, it's it's. It's very interesting. Watching scenes from my childhood that I have not watched since and trying to. Find out whether my twelve year old brain. Had any sort of accuracy in its its conclusions. You couldn't quite remember watching the one thousand nine hundred eighty book McEnroe final that we covered yesterday. The you were aware of it in your consciousness. Do you remember watching? Boris Becker Kevin Curren Nine, thousand, nine, hundred five. You remember where you were. Vividly. Are would typically do you remember what your head was like? It was appalling. It was it was probably quite similar to Kevin. Currency if I'm honest. All sort of curly and waffly. So I would have been twelve years of age I just got into the the senior school is as we used to call it and I was just watching Wimbledon back toback hour upon hour, and there was nothing else tennis wise to watch I didn't even know. Existed I was absolutely fascinated after that tournament to try to find. Opportunities to see a tennis match with Boris Becker playing somewhere else. To See. 'cause I couldn't understand how. How does Barsebaeck not win every tennis match that he plays given how hard he hits the ball, I knew nothing of clay coats and hardcourts and things that did as a twelve year old seeing seventeen year old win Wimbledon. Did it did it make you think oh? Crikey, I'd better start achieving some life goals I remember I remember watching the dull when the French Open realizing we the same age and thinking. Catherine! You've achieved nothing in your life. Salt. Out. The way couldn't it could inspire you or it could make you feel like enough to fight. Now on C., no, because twelve to me seventeen was really old, and seventeen was basically a man, and I was such a young child including my age, but I look back at it now, and it does make me shudder to think of what this we having just watched it to watch. This guy who seventeen who physically is easing credible presence, and he's muscular and strong and strapping, but he's got this really young. Young, face, and he you hear him. We've just had him interviewed after the match as well and and it does make me shudder to think my word this on his shoulders, and yet it was also very exciting at the same time. Not your formative Tennessee's will have been spent watching Boris Becker the pundit. Boris Becker the coach. I know obviously you'll have been very aware of know what he achieved in his career, but actually. Watching it back in seeing a seventeen year old Boris Becker wate struck by. Well. It's actually quite difficult to reconcile as you were saying the Boris Becker. I've always known with this Boris Becker. I actually think that this achievement of voice rose Becker winning Wimbledon seventeen oversee I've always been aware of it, but I and in many ways it's. It's become a more extraordinary achievement as time has passed, and as the sport has got kind of older, and it's hard to make those breakthrough so young, but also in a way. It's actually one of those achievements, which is so of its time that if you didn't live through it, it's really quite difficult to understand the impact that it had and the feeling that it gave people, so it's interesting to go back and read about it and walked in here David's memories of it. I mean what I'm struck by is the sense of belonging that he seems to have on that court. He is striding around the coal like he owns the place. He would go on to say that it was his living room. Denise and Toco famously, but and it's like that he's. He's walking with such confidence playing such. Tennis okay, it's one thing to have the game another thing to believe in the game and know that it's a game that you can win, and that just comes through on just as you watch all the match really. I didn't anywhere with confidence when I was seventeen I was just to a crippled bull of angst. And Self Doubt I. Mean I I just can't relate. Assholes, everyone, stop looking at me. Not Looking at you, you think everyone is looking at you any of that. Yeah I think my my mum describe. That is the peculiar phase when you didn't like taping taken.

ECB set to expand bond-buying to soak up debt
"Let's get an update now on some of the day's business stories with you in pots from Bloomberg you and welcome back to monocle twenty four the European Central. Bank is expected to take more action tomorrow, and they'll be new coronavirus virus measures from Christine Lagarde. And hopes of a swift recovery will be downplayed. Yes, of course, the issue be one of the world's central banks, which took very rapid action back in March to counter some of the terrible economic effects. We're seeing from the current arsenal around from the measures taken to counter the current of ours. They announced the pandemic emergency purchase, program or pet. Back in March which involved seven hundred and fifty billion euros of the bond buying? The idea that the central bank step into by that and keeping rates low, the government's the companies and also for Boris with mortgages, etc, that going until at least June twenty twenty one but the expectation. In the market is, the will be more announced tomorrow. Columnists seem pretty certain. ATP will wait in with more stimulus smart at its current pace, it could wait until it's July or September meeting before judging the programs big enough to soak up over debt, being issued by governments defy the recession, and of course there is a lot of depth baby shoot. At the moment since last meeting, we've heard from the European Union moving closer towards a Common Fiscal Response the commission saying he wanted to spend seven hundred fifty billion euros with its Recovery Fund, but as to the tomorrow reckon we'll get at least another two hundred fifty billion dollars of stimulus taking the program to at least not one trillion euros at so tell us a little bit more about economic picture around Europe given the fact that this huge amount of stimulus is needed unlikely. Yes I told him this morning. We're going to get the pay date. So the coaching index is the most timely economic survey we have. We get the figures the May This morning. I'm about nine o'clock, and we're expecting that number to jump to thirty point five. Not just explain what that means. Fifty is the guy is the between expansion and contraction iron, fifty expansion, obviously no economies and you're spending at a moment in April that was thirteen point six. The lowest reading with ever seen toback think in May will jump to about thirty, so that's a lot better than April's reading but he's still pretty terrible. It's actually puts us back in line. Awfully what we saw in March when economies shrank pretty badly around European Union still. About the shape of the recovery. In the beginning or passing my have a v-shaped recovery with the economy bouncing back very quickly. Not many people think that any more more likely will get You even less missing. l-shaped recovery or Nike swoosh or some other recovery which is uncertain and quite wobbly over the rest. Of this year, but it's a little bit of optimism. Coming back into commerce forecasts in the past couple of weeks, I'm certainly markets. Very Optimistic Sense Gotcha will be enough to rescue.

Chase Briscoe confirmed at Stewart-Haas Racing for 2020
"Risky brisky is in studio. What's happening what's up chase briscoe nothing? I'm busy busy busy whole big time over here. I'll know about that has re upped with Tony Stewart at Stewart House Racing Gene Haas to compete again in the expended series. And I could be more exciting. I thought you were awesome last year in the car. You know got win in Iowa and I think you should contend for a championship. Don't you think yeah I think yeah pretty good you know. We don't have a ton of changes. I mean roles wise. It's the same. We have a new body on the Mustang. But yeah I mean there's going to be the first time in my career I've been able to go back with the same team in the same crew chief so looking forward to what do you think of the new pitstop procedures that were just announced. Yeah I just saw literally about thirty minutes ago but I think you you know at Iowa. I don't really think it's going to change anything but I do feel like at the road courses. It's GonNa Change them completely because there's no more short pitting anymore. There's no more flipping stages so so for me. I think it's a little bit worse. Because now you're going to have awesome syndrome out front in maintaining track position the hallway. So it's going to make it harder. I think to win the road course races because it's GonNa take a lot of the strategy out of it but it's hard to say right now we haven't done it yet so it's hard to say what it's going to be like but yeah I think it's going to be easier to maintain track position on a road course so fast on a road course. I think it's definitely a positive for you for sure. The move really helps money-wise for some of these smaller teams but the cup series teams were flying people into standalone races to do the crew and some of them have their own crews. I guess but a lot of the Rian flying flown end so that costed everything kind of brings that cost down but I agree with you. The road course racing is going to change that totally but as far as the racing product on track. It's not going to change that very much. Yeah I think you know it's not going to change the especially at the Iowa and the places like that Barocco where the fast guys stay up front so yeah. I think that's GonNa be the only place where you really see a difference in this new. Whatever you WANNA call? It rule changed. But I think it's going to be just normal Iowa and you can still pit when you want to pay it or whatever or you're just GONNA lose positions on pit road which like you said it's a good thing and it does definitely say the teams a lot of money if anything. It might make the racing a little bit better just because so you know if you have a guy like Ryan SEGER Jeremy Clements. That doesn't necessarily have the pick crew caliber of a pin skier Stewart. Haas if they can get up to sixth seventh or eighth or whatever or you know they can stay there now so dropping back five or six spots in a pit road so it's probably GonNa make the racing better the short tracks but you know it's hard to say I was going to do of course is this for you is. Is this the first time that you've since you've stock cars. You'll be in the same car two years in a row saint team but like same actual type of car era xfinity car in two thousand eighteen. I gotta run up not full-time. This will be the first time I've ever in two seasons full-time back. toback Gotcha so there's something to be said for that. I think a full year under your belt is going to be going to be good. Yeah I think you know last year specifically you know the first half of the year to the second half of the year was day now to be able to start the first half of the year where we ended the second half. I think

Denny Hamlin wins at Phoenix to secure berth in NASCAR title finale
"Hamlin who wins at Raceway to advance to the championship round and joined his. Teammate Kyle Busch I. He made Mark Drake's junior and Kevin Harvick and I'm glad you're here stevie because it feels to me like Chris. Gabe Hart is the Steve Waugh Tart Denny. Hamlin that you were to orange junior in a way because downgrade the poor guy that no I mean I see pro series. Yeah Chris Gebhardt and any have found a way to do it on their own. Think you saw it with the swagger. I disagreed with the final pit. Call soon as it happened. He had a huge gap of lap cars. He could've put on four tires. I can't say he would have been the first off pit road. He could have been the first car. Pit Road maybe only beaten by the twenty one I would take that position every day. Gebhardt stood there made the call and and then and then kind of let his guard down victory lane after and said Yeah. My heart was pounding. I didn't know if that was right. Call but that's what we were going to do. And that's what I did and you know what. Listen I have no problem saying I disagree I I disagree and I have no problem raising my hand and saying you know what I apparently was wrong because two tires did work and it was impressive and toback to your original statement. Danny you know just believed in it and made it right and that's kind of been emblematic. I think of why this relationship is work so much. In the reason the gay part reminds me of you with Dell junior is gay bar comes in a and he has this accountability. He has this. We're going to do things differently. WE'RE GONNA hold everybody to higher standards not that. The team wasn't capable of winning or continue championship it before but there was something missing and then he talked about it a little bit yesterday that they're not best friends off the track but clearly the professional side works and Gabe. Gabe heart believes in him. I think the way you believed in Dale Jr. at a time when juniors conference was low I think Denny's confidence was a little bit low cut off last year and it's worked well between them completely. I think gave heart believes denny at times more than denny may believe in denny that's Not a placebo man. That's real. I mean. Sometimes people that are extremely skilled talented and whatever they do lose their way and forget why they're so good at something and it's hard for us that don't have that skill to explain it. I can't drive a race car I I can't. I'm not a professional athlete. So sometimes that lack of ability helps me appreciate their ability helps me remind the driver you you really damn good. Look at everything you've done and Denny Hamlin this year on the track off the track in the media on social media taught top to bottom inside and out is a different style driver. Then he wants was the one thing he didn't change which I actually like is. He has the superstar superstar swagger. Yes some don't like and pick on them and it's fine if you don't like it and he's okay if you don't like him which I think is great but you know sports heroes become heroes. Because they're not immortals they're they're bigger than the people cheering them on they act bigger than and Denny's that guy right he's got the Jordan man. He'll take a picture of his plane. He'll tell you how how good he can be not boastfully but confidently and I actually think in today's sports we need stars like that. There's GonNa be a group that don't like it they're GonNa like the Ryan Blaney kicked back. You know trucker hat and a cold beer and that's Great Cheer Ryan Blaney. But there's a group that I think you earn for some swagger and if you're looking for swagger you kind of have it

Bw Daily to five hundred five hundred from wondering I'm David Brown and this is business wars daily on this Tuesday September seventeenth. chipotle is struggling with mismatch between mean. It's branding and reality. At least that's how some observers might see it earlier. This month. chipotle launched a publicity stunt that poked fun at our thieving ways it turns out that customers especially college kids often steal certain things at chipotle particularly little bottles of Tabasco sauce which chipotle conveniently offers on the counter alongside. It's plastic forks the chain goes through five and a half million bottles of hot sauce every year enda tons of plastic forks to sure they could try to shrink the theft by reserving Tabasco only for those who requested but where would the fun be in and that instead they embraced are larceny to celebrate back to school. Season Chipotle is offering free delivery on Sundays through the end of September with with a cheeky bonus to the first fifty people who took them up on the offer that bonus the things you borrow kit meaning of course the things you steal it contain contain piles of Napkins extra forks and yeah two bottles of Tabasco Sauce. The kids came in plain brown boxes wrapped in tape marked property of chipotle's lake. You could even order them online for free but the limited supply disappeared as fast as a stash of hot sauce japodlay brands itself as the food with integrity chain. This stunned allowed them to play up at branding. I mean on the one hand advertise free hot sauce on another sustain the comic approach to marketing here's the problem to make purpose driven branding work all parts of your operation have to be in sync and on September tenth the city of New York supposedly for allegedly violating the the city's fair workweek law more than thirty workers from a handful of Brooklyn locations had filed complaints with the city sank japodlay had violated the city law demands predictable schedules bills for fast food workers. That's according to Mayor Bill De Blasio's office employee said japodlay managers often change their schedules at the last minute gave them no notice of those changes and failed to pay premiums for them. They also accused the company of demanding that employees close a store at night and then open it the next morning the law requires wires the employee's consent for those kinds of back toback shifts. Finally the city also accused the Brooklyn locations of having an illegal sick leave policy de Blasios administration is seeking more than a million dollars in penalties. The city is also investigating labor practices at eighteen chipotle's in other parts of Manhattan. Japodlay says it's cooperating with the city and that filing charges was unnecessary. The accusations however prompted the New York Daily News to call the chain burrito bullies. He's the stock market reacted quickly sending share prices down about five percent shares had been soaring because reportedly had grown. It's digital business at a sizzling pace hace sparked by funny tactics like the things you borrow campaign just last week chipotle was named as Americans favorite fast casual Mexican restaurant for the third year year in a row according to a New Restaurant Industry Survey Chipotle as biggest competitor as it has been for years is Cuba chipotle's latest flap could cause some customers customers to switch to Cuba although most people still choose their tacos and Burritos for flavor convenience and price the fine line that you police walking walking is by branding itself as both honest and healthy no matter whether chipotle is proven right or wrong in New York City's lawsuit the difficulty of balancing on that fine vine purpose driven line has become apparent used to be that it wasn't easy being green now. It seems it's not easy making a big deal about integrity less you.

Where is the Afghan peace process headed?
"Was is a big week for foreign policy news the president announced last weekend that there was a secret plan for a summit with Taliban leaders at Camp David but he was cancelling the secret summit because of Taliban bomb attack in in Kabul eighteen years after we invaded Afghanistan the country remains riven by fighting between a us-backed government and a revived Taliban control swath of the country the trump administration has been trying to reach a deal with the Taliban would allow us to withdraw troops. The president surely saw this potential summit is a great way to look like a peacemaker but according to news reports the Taliban was unwilling to come to Camp David without first receiving concessions to discuss that and also developments related to Iran were joined by jared blank. He's a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and and when he was at the State Department Jarrett worked on the Iran nuclear agreement before that he was the acting Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan focusing on Afghan security elections and peace hi jared. Thank you for joining us thank you so this was also a big issue at Thursday's democratic debate. We've been in Afghanistan for so long is their way to withdraw our troops. While ensuring that Afghanistan does not become become a haven for international terrorist organizations like it was before nine eleven. I think that there is certainly a better policy to pursue in Afghanistan any policy that is going to have risks associated does he hid inside. Get a little hesitant about the word insure but the idea that the United States needs to have fifteen thousand or eight thousand or frankly one thousand troops in Afghanistan in order to pursue what are fairly limited counterterrorism objectives. I think just doesn't hold water so what what do we look for in these as negotiations with the Taliban which had been going on obviously not at Camp David for a substantial period before trump was trying to have this high profile meeting. What are we looking for? Is there a productive conversation station for us to have their that would allow us to do what you describe and reduce that footprint so I think there's absolutely a productive conversation and I think in fact productive conversation was underway with the US a special envoy investors all my house odd until president trump decided to make a drama out of it last weekend the conversation sort of breaks breaks into two levels. They're they're multiple wars being fought enough Ghanistan. One of them is approaching twenty years old. It's war between the United States and the Taliban the second is forty years. It's a civil war between Afghan factions. What investor House has managed to do have bandaged do with to lay out a framework to resolve the core security purity issues of the war between the United States and the Taliban so they get what they want which is a timeline for withdrawal? We get what we want which is a commitment that they ah will police the territory they control against internationally focused terrorist groups and also commitment to start negotiations with the government of Afghan the sand and others to try to end that long civil war which is important to us for a variety of reasons. That's not exactly the sequence that we'd worked on the Obama Administration. It's not the ideal sequence but the concessions that the United States made to get to that sequence are perfectly sensible and are reasonable way to approach a bringing this thing to an end rich. What do you make of that well? I just a very skeptical this I understand the exhaustion and frustration with the the Afghan war but I think the promising to you with Taliban as soon as you get zero those commitments they've made MIS importantly to police their territory against terrorists completely. Go out the window there. There's no the way they're going to comply with that. A why would they and sort of the the clever a case for this deal within the administration among hawks kind of want to tiptoe around trump more than did national security adviser John Bolton did was to say give give trump is his deal and they'll be this annex to the deal that has always conditions and the Taliban has has to meet that they won't meet and that'll allow us to do an offramp before we get to zero and end up at eighty six hundred but the very fact of the the deal affects the situation on the ground and if everyone really thinks we're going to zero. That's a that's a huge benefit to the Taliban. I think we just go to the the monopoly effective troop level. A lot of people think it's eighty six hundred. I'm not an expert in this area and stick there because I don't think there's a good way to WHO police Afghanistan against international terrorists without having some presence there and there are Ansari Benefits of having a presence there which is that you can so you have an eye into Pakistan and you can raid Pakistan as necessarily which is why we got bin Laden. We wouldn't have gotten bin Laden. If we weren't Afghantistan journey. What are you? What do you say to that? How do you enforce the terms of this agreement? If we have taken most all of our footprint out of the country well I think I would make two points. The first is to respond to what which is described is kind out of the clever case that will will lay out this troop drawdown time line but whether or not we ever completed depend on conditions on the ground and what I would say that is of course that's the case and of course the Taliban everyone else news that's the case the United States has announced repeated withdrawal timelines and we haven't followed them through so US leverage just pure military leverage before you get into other forms of leverage remains until the very end us gets decision points all along the way away in terms of the broader case of can you eventually imagine going zero again. I think the answer there is clearly. Yes and you do it in one of two ways either either you do it because there's been a peace settlement amongst Afghans which is obviously the most desirable outcome both for us for the Afghans which creates kind of a a government where power is distributed officially more-or-less as it is right now unofficially that kind of balanced government government in Afghanistan would be heavily dependent on international financing and we would have again leverage to make sure that they abide by their commitments including a counterterrorism commitments which which we shouldn't exaggerate how difficult how complicated these would actually be for them. The other alternative is that the deal doesn't take place in which case the Afghan civil war tragically continues but it can continue from the US's perspective with a dramatically lower commitment commitment so with funds for partners and probably some offshore military resources that would be needed now and again in counter-terrorism circumstances but the idea idea that it is that the US has sufficient security interests in Afghanistan to demand eighty five hundred or frankly five thousand one thousand troops odd infinitum not to mention forty five or fifty billion dollars a year. It just isn't borne out Christine. What did you make of the discussion about this at the debate on Thursday because you you heard candidate saying that they want to get troops out of Afghanistan but but lots of people want to get troops out of Afghanistan and the president wanted to President Obama wanted to and and so this seems like something that a lot of politicians have have expressed as a goal or made a commitment but it is so far lewd people to find a way to actually get it done yeah? I think that's that's right. I thought that actually was with Warren made a really good point in the debate on Thursday night when she said that you know we're not going to bomb our way out of terrorism. We're not GONNA bomb our way out of Afghanistan or any of these conflicts in the Middle East. We've tried that for literally decades at this point and perhaps we need to try something new and I think you know experts. and intelligence experts and military professionals can debate the best way to draw down troops to do so effectively to broker peace in some way up but I really think that the majority of Americans are tired. This has been an endless conflict that we didn't necessarily sign up for and I think that there is a strong appetite for beginning to leave it hopefully in a way that ensures the safety of our troops on the way out and that ensures or helps to ensure because that yes is not guaranteed a more stable country but people are ready to go. Can we talk a little bit about what happened with Iran this week. I'm frankly confused by what has happened with Iran so I mean first of all president trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal he imposed sanctions on Iran. They're describing their policy on Iran a maximum pressure policy to squeeze Iran financially and bring it to the table but now we're concerned that Iran is violating the agreement that we have already withdrawn from the Europeans are even more concerned about this and now president trump is flirting with a French proposal Rosal to extend a fifteen billion dollar credit line to Iran the purpose of which would be to ease some of the financial difficulties they face under our so-called maximum pressure sanctions and and then if we gave him the credit line the the trade would be that they would have to stay in compliance with the deal that we have withdrawn from Jarrett can can you explain to me what the possible purpose of this approach could be well to the extent that I think we understand discussions that underway between Paris Washington in Toronto and I don't want to exaggerate how much which we do I think the French proposal is an effort to provide a safe face saving way for president trump toback down without acknowledging that he's backing down now so in addition to pulling out of the JCP way the Iran nuclear deal a president trump withdrew all of the waivers for Iranian Lonnie and oil sales the sanctions waivers for oil sales. He took those waivers all the way down to zero where previous administrations had left the waivers that sort of you know higher level some level of income for the comedy I think the friendship concluded our others concluded that trump is unlikely to reverse that policy an issue oil sales waivers again but maybe there's a way to get kind of an equivalent amount of revenue to Iran in the fifteen billion dollar line of credit is kind of equivalent to a period of oil revenue for the for for for the Iranian National Oil Company and so the idea would be they get that back that revenue it's a little bit of a return to new. JCP We kept on behalf of the United States done in a kind of backwards way and as you say in extreme new they resume their compliance with the deal. I think actually what trump wants. It's more even than their resumption of compliance with the deal is a meeting with President Ronnie Right. I mean as we saw again with the let's get ludicrous situation with the Taliban

Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
A special relationship?
"Among British diplomats few postings are more highly prized than that of the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States. The occupant of the role becomes a key component of what has become known as the special relationship the transatlantic mutual admiration society founded on a shared history a shared language and shared values even special relationships have their rocky patches however and this week the U._K.'s man in the U._S. found himself if we can extend the relationship metaphor to the verge of breaking point I in the Doghouse and then gathering his belongings from beneath the window succumbed Eric resigned after the leak of dispatchers shows he sent back to London which described the administration of President Donald Trump in terms unflattering. If unsurprising it is certainly a test for the special relationship but is the special relationship really as special as the U._k.. In particular likes to think and what might the special relationship look like the other side of Brexit if conducted by Donald Trump and Boris Johnson this is the foreign desk up up until now Britain had if you like to wings to fly on one of the European wing and the other was the American now it's only GonNa have Washington relations with Brussels again to be fatty sour after Britain has left the European Union apple the special relationship going to become even more rational as the knowledge and experience of the ambassador to put the information in context to synthesize it and to focus it on the things that really matter to the government government said he would have been sitting back to the government. Here's the rhetoric you're getting from Donald Trump by trade deal. Here's what the sector state for coal minister saying. Here's what the senators are saying. Here's the reality both countries are going through interesting times signed and at the end of the day to be frank every other country and I include the U._K.. In this every other country will spend more time thinking about the United States than the United States will ever be able to spend thinking about that country entree to the foreign desk on monocle twenty four with me Andrew Muller on today's show on joined by Mara Colin and Edward Loose. Mara Colin is Director of Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins University and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She joins us from Washington DC and Edward Lewis is the Financial Times U._S. National Editor and former DC bureau chief. He's also joining us from Washington. <hes> welcome both to the show. I want to start with the the affair that has got us here which I don't know if it actually quite qualifies for the full blown gate suffix but nevertheless let's call it Derek Gate Edward First of all how damaged do you think relations between the U._S. and the U._k.. have been by this reasonably damage. I wouldn't want to blow this particular incident out of proportion. I think what it sheds light on is the likely relationship between a prime minister. Boris Johnson led British government and the trump administration which is going to be quite different to the normal U._k.. U._S. government relationship and essentially Kim Derek's resignation as ambassador was carried out by Boris Johnson. Even though he's not yet prime minister I step because he refused toback Darach in the Conservative Party leadership debate he essentially made dykes job over it impossible and it was done essentially on the on the instructions of Donald Trump and if you have a the next British prime minister taking an internal suffering British decision at the behest of the current U._S. president you have if any walked British government before it's even been formed Mara we should probably bring some perspective to bear on this. We are talking and we'll talk further about the damage that may have been done to the the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom but obviously the last few years have been fairly rough going for most countries which thought of themselves elves as American allies before two thousand sixteen. Is this any better or any worse than any of the <hes> the ruptures between the United States and say we'll take you pick France or Germany or Australia Troglio or any of the many others Donald Trump has managed to upset. You know it's important that we put this ambassador gate into the larger context as you note the last few years have been bumpy. America is in anomalous period the U._K.. is in an anomalous period in so what's happening. Now is one bump among a very mountainous road. Both countries are going through in both countries are travelling through and it is in Dubai audibly affecting the special special relationship as each country tries to figure out who are we and what do we stand for. It can't help but influence how we think about one another it would we should look a bit at that phrase the special relationship. It's a phrase that gets bandied what about rob the more I think in the United Kingdom then in the United States. Is it fair to say that it's something that various British governments have placed rather more store in the various American governments yeah that that that to say I mean I think I think it's also fair to say that under the Obama Administration took name the second time Germany with the sort of key special relationship and it's also a phrase with some variation used in Germany but everybody's prime minister including Theresa may the Pros Johnson is obsessed with getting an Oval Office meeting the moment they're they're in office. Theresa May with the first part needed to visit Donald trump so she kept that batting average opposite well. I think it's going to become a lot more pronounced announced on the British side and a lot more asymmetric as well in terms of the emphasis once Britain's left the European Union because up until now Britain you know had if you like to wings to fly on a European wing and the other one's the American now it's taking to have Washington relations with Brussels again to be Fatty Fowler after Britain's left the European Union and death of the special relationship is going to become even more obsessional Mara. What's being your experiences? Somebody who has worked with a variety of American administrations about what the special relationship actually means to American administrations do they regard the relationship with the United Kingdom as any more or less special than they might regard the relationship with say France. The relationship with the U._k.. is just so special precisely because it is bureaucratized every single day there are meetings between Brits and Americans in in our governments in my decade in the Pentagon I spent more time meeting with British counterparts more time in London than anyone else and it is a relationship that really is deep textured and white that said both countries are going through interesting times and at the end of the day to be frank every other country and I include the U._K.. In this every other country will spend more time thinking about the United States than the United States will ever be able to spend thinking about that country in that relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. Where do you think the balance is between a purely practical functional arrangement between to approximate peers and a sort of sentimental friendship which is rooted in all the stuff that British prime ministers in particular enjoy banging on about that shed history in the shed values and so on I wouldn't overstate the shed history in Chad bodies? I mean if you look back on the postwar era. There were a lot of bumps. It wasn't so the plane failing till trump cable pretty power was ended at Suez by President Eisenhower who withdrew support from studying because Britain because of the anglo-french attempt to invade Egypt and and Britain didn't get involved in the Vietnam War I mean it wasn't always sort of hand in glove but there is an affinity between political cultures points out by going through interesting times. There is an affinity through history PA through language language and political culture between what happens in Brooklyn in America so even though Britain isn't as important in Washington as it might like to think Washington I think reads a lot more in its news pages about what happens in British politics than it does how's about gentlemen politics toddy and politics French politics pays more attention and pointed out there. Is that hard edge to it which is the interoperability of military systems. The five is intelligent sharing which you know uniquely Britain is the only country in Europe that has that kind of close relationship and I think that's probably immune to whatever antiques and <hes> Circus Act Spurs Johnson and Donald Trump trump dream out between themselves but you can't becoming competent of anything nowadays truth is change of infection at the moment Mara how does that that same equation look from the side of the from the American side of. The Atlantic do they regard Britain as a purely practical partner and we'll talk shortly about those defense and intelligence aspects of the relationship is the part of the relationship which is rooted in a basic even Atavistic sophisticate fullness does the United States just proceed from an assumption that Britain is a friend that Britain is an entity that liked some gets on with look. I couldn't agree more with Edward in his characterization of the relationship there there is this idea of shared values albeit. Both countries probably reassessing what those values look like there. Is this kind of deep technocratic bureaucratic collaboration that it that is meaningful when I worked in the Pentagon I had Brits rich who worked for me. <hes> as full full staff members like other Pentagon staff members <hes> so traditionally these bumps are seen as kind of fights within a family going forward as these bumps grow more into mountains. Perhaps the the family will will start to separate you know if we just look at the last two decades or so in our countries have gone to war together and these wars haven't necessarily gone as well as one might have liked and that no no doubt is causing reassessment inside London and potentially inside Washington as well would you raise things like the five is intelligence sharing setup and NATO of course another obvious area cooperation between the the U._S. and the U._K.. How important are they not just to the United States in the United Kingdom but to the the entire political architecture of the rest of the world well I think that the sort of stabilised and something solid foundation nation of what we call the West is NATO <hes> even the West you know don't belong to NATO and NATO was originally an Anglo American project which others were recruited to in the postwar? You're in the late nineteen forties so NATO is the hardest part of that special relationship. I think what makes things different. Now is although Boris Johnson is so the conventional NATO supporter Donald Trump very much isn't he's very skeptical about NATO if he sees it as a number of these and his eyes cartels terrip America off where partners and not spending as much as America on defense and that's got to end and it's not inconceivable it probably nightly but it's inconceivable where he be elected <hes> he could even put America out of me too. I'm not predicting that but I'm saying I wouldn't be. I wouldn't be totally shocked if he did Boris. Johnson has conventional views on areas where his personal personal interests hasn't clashed with them but he's very much beholden to donald trump in a way that you know in spite of all the rhetoric of Britain being America's poodle that you get from anti-americans in a way that no previous British prime minister within and that means this is a dynamic situation. It's going to be very very hard to predict what demands of him and how various response we'll talk a bit more in the second half of the program about the future of the special relationship and how special it might might look a few decades from now but before we do that I want to reflect a little bit on the past of it sort of look at some highs and lows of it. We'll start with the highs Marar and I'll ask you do you when you think of the the special relationship between in the U._S. and the U._k.. Working as it ideally should or at least as it should in the storybook version of it often presented by British prime ministers in particular which moments or which incidents or which periods do you think of you know. I have a great memory just after nine eleven of President Bush giving a speech in the first ally I remember him. Calling out was the U._K.. In was highlighting the special relationship and it was important as an American to know whatever chaos was going on in this international security landscape. There was a capable military that was there to be helpful under these kind of dire circumstances would if we think of absolute low points and probably we can take the war of eighteen twelve as read. How bad has it ever got was Su as the absolute low point yes because that was the ending somewhat say belated and I think very very skillfully and gently administed ending British imperial pretensions is now is like close to chill as close to ends meet British Prime Minister at the time and he was very much magnified being based in Britain of course for the D day operation during? The Second World War and that I think was probably the low point you had the old story imperial classes you know pats at a moment of peak anti-americanism at that point. I think the second point though <hes> I I loyd identify would be would be now well on that happy thought we will have more from both of you later in the show for the moment though Edward Loose on Mara Colin thank you both you're listening to the foreign desk

Spokesman: Iran to break stockpile limit set by nuclear deal
"Earlier today. Iran threatened to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium that would break the terms of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal. President Trump, of course withdrew the United States from that deal. But until now, Iran has said it would stick to its commitments, Iran insists it doesn't want to build a nuclear bomb. But these enrichment stockpiles would put it in the range of what it would need to build a weapon now all of this is happening. As the Trump administration insists that Iran is responsible for attacks onto oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman last week. Here's secretary of state Mike Pompeo on Fox News, Sunday, there's no doubt intelligence committee, has lots of data lots of evidence the world will come to see much of it, but the American people should rest assured. We have confidence with respect to who conducted these attacks as well as a half dozen other tax throughout the world of the past. Forty days are online with me. Now, former vice chief of staff of the US army retired general Jacquin, good morning, general. Good morning. Are you concerned at all with the news this morning that Iran says it will increase its enriched uranium stockpiles? Well, I, I actually thought they would do something like that what they're trying to do is put more pressure on international community, to entice the United States to toback down their strategy is, is pretty obvious because. Crippling sanctions certainly hurting their economy, which is contracted six percent. Inflation thirty seven percent. The currency is divided by the dramatically food shortages power outages, and growing civil unrest of the issues facing. And, and as we know now, our intelligence services, told us, they've had a pullback some of the funding for the proxies, which is their main foreign policy instrument that they used to control an influence to the Middle East. Let me ask you, if Iran wants to get the US is attention. And that's what they're doing with this announcement this morning. How how should the US respond? Well, I think what these activities at Iran is conducted in terms of disrupting commercial tankers in the Persian Gulf. That's also they're trying to put pressure on the international community because, you know, oil prices are going up disruption flow of oil this disrupted half the world's economy depends on that Audrey of oil coming out of the out of the Middle East. And I think what we're going to say here if the administration, I don't have inside information I don't I don't ever seek it. But just thinking through the issue is one inform our allies of the intelligence that we have, and also attempt to gain support for increased level of activity. And I think that's the phase win right now. The second thing I think we'll see is likely a coalition to support an escort tankers going to the Persian Gulf through the strait of moves in the Gulf of them on specifically, and Iran will likely react to that. And, and we will have to respond, but I do think. How let me ask you, you talk about a coalition. And I wanna ask you about our allies, Germany's foreign minister says the video that Centcom provided that said the shows evidence of Iranians removing a mind from the boat to the side of a boat. Termi says that's not sufficient, the Japanese government says they want more evidence. Is it normal for our allies to be so skeptical? And, and if they are as they appear to be what does that mean for the US? Well, I think the evidence is there secretary Pao's promised to provide additional evidence, our intelligence committee, have seen all the evidence, Adam Schiff, who certainly no supporter of this administration. He is the head of that committee. And he says the evidence is overwhelming and, and compelling. His words, not say that. So I think it's just a matter of what I'm saying we're gonna face here. We're going to get this information to our allies get support and began to Patel. Checked this commercial artery of oil. You know that the world so depends on and clearly by disrupting that Iran wants to put more pressure on the United States to back off on the citations, which is the first time that we have seen any democratic Republican ministration since the Iran began this campaign malign, aggressive behavior thirty nine years ago and has had significant success in the region with Lebanon Syria Yemen to be sure political influence in Iraq, and undermining the other countries in the region, not even speak of sponsoring world terrorism that I think we have an opportunity here, no guarantee of that. But to begin to curb their behavior. How combustible do you think this situation is in the last few seconds? We have left. I think it is, you know, Reagan doing the same thing and in and commercial shipping in the late nineteen eighties had to escalate. And how to take down to well, platforms and, and to station basis of naval shipping at the RG see used we'll probably on that path limited measured activity. Former vice chief of staff of the US army retired general Jackie general, thanks for your time this morning. Great

Why Should You Bring Ear Plugs to Music Festivals?
"Today's episode is brought to you by Oregon. You know, when something goes wrong at home, and you just freak out, I have definitely had my moments especially when it comes to pests ants in the mirror. Nara, cockroaches hanging out around your bubble bath and uninvited rat, a your daughter's birthday party. Don't let pests ruin the moment, get an architect out to your house tomorrow. Bill, protect your time and your temper. Visit organ dot com slash brain to save fifty dollars on your first general pest service with the promo code pod. Fifty that's peo- d five zero Oregon home is where the bugs aren't. Welcome to brain stuff. A production of iheartradio. Hey, brain stuff. I'm Lauren Vogel bomb. And as I record this we're in the throes of music festival season. These multi day concert art debauchery parties can be a blast but research shows that they can also be a bummer for your ears, the sheer length of some music festivals. For example, each weekend of Coachella runs three days with ten plus hours of Buzek every day, a, plus the widespread use of alcohol and drugs could inflict serious damage on your hearing with potentially permanent consequences. We spoke with Marshall Chason an audiologist from Toronto who specializes in hearing loss prevention for musicians. He says that there's nothing inherently bad about going to the occasional loud concert or cranking, your headphones up. Toback Salyan to listen to your favorite song, as long as you do it in moderation. That's where three day music festivals. Become a problem. There's a point at which all sounds above eighty five decibels equivalent to the dial tone. Telephone can inflict permanent hearing damage exposure, eighty five decibels of noise seems harmless enough? But if you listened to a dial tone forty hours a week for. A full year you'd suffer some level of permanent hearing loss. And if you turn up the volume to ninety four decibels, which is about halfway to full volume on an MP three player all it would take five hours a week to damage your hearing. Chason said, it's the total dose that matters much like a radiation dose, a single x Ray here. And there won't hurt you, but thirty seven x-rays in a short period could be problematic rock music at a live concert can easily reach a hundred and ten decibels at that volume. Your ears start sustained permanent damage after only two minutes of daily exposure, it's especially important to give your ears arrest. Once they've suffered some short term hearing loss that buzzing ringing or numbness in your ears after attending allowed concert. There's a recovery period of sixteen to eighteen hours during which your ears are particularly sensitive to further. Loud noises chasing said there's nothing wrong with going to a rock concert on Friday night. Just don't mow the lawn on Saturday morning in be careful about attending yet another rock concert on Saturday. If you don't let your ears rest, there are several ways that they can suffer lasting damage the inner ear smaller the tip of your pinkie finger in contains the cochlea a fluid filled. Snail shaped chamber lined with thousands of hair cells. Plumbed exposure to very loud noises. Disturb the fluid in the cochlea so violently that the hair cells bend, or break never to grow back, another source of permanent hearing damage says Chason lies deeper in the brain where nerve cells carry signals from the ear to nor on the process. Sounds growing research shows that overloading those neural pathways with loud noises can disrupt the connection creating situations where the neurons kit detect the signals coming from the ear. Luckily, the solution to noise, induced hearing loss for music festivals is simple. We're earplugs. Lots of concert goers, avoid wearing earplugs because they think it will muffle the music and ruin the experience. But that only applies to the cheap foamy disposable kind which to be fair. I've had perfectly fine experiences with however, there are excellent in obtrusive earplugs on the market. The protect the air from dangerous sound levels without distorting. The quality of the music professional musicians have been using them for decades. These are designed to evenly lower noise levels, somebody's much as twenty decibels across the hearing spectrum not just the high frequencies, you can find them for less than twenty dollars. And they're reusable. Oh forever. Weirdly drug and alcohol use at music. Festivals has also been shown to increase the risk of hearing loss. A study out of the Netherlands, tracked, fifty one participants with a mean age of twenty seven years who attended an outdoor music festival in two thousand fifteen half. We're given earplugs and half were not all were advised to refrain from drugs or alcohol so that they're hearing could be accurately tested after the four and a half hour show as to be expected, not everyone abstained. The resulting data showed the concert goers, who drank beer, or used drugs, like cannabis or MD, A, experienced, worse, short-term, hearing loss. And interestingly, so did male subjects whether on drugs or not? What's not clear from the data is whether the increased hearing loss linked to drugs, alcohol, and being male is biological or behavioral in origin Chason for one is convinced the drugs or male hormones, chemically altered, the inner ear to make it more susceptible to damage patterns of behavior are more likely at play. He said using alcohol or drugs, decreases, your ability to self monitor.

Mike D'Antoni contract extension: Coach ends talks with Rockets
"Gonna get to some very interesting reports out of Houston. Mike dantonio last, we heard they were working on a contract extension seemed like they were going to firm up a little deal where they had might Antoni as a head coach and the rockets for a few more years. Well, Mike dantonio has reportedly backed out of the negotiations and what they found really interesting is that he was being offered a performance based contract. Jalen? Why would Matt might Antoni back out and why would the rockets offer a performance base contract? And he's only got one more year on his contract. And also the other news is that the rockets have put up the entire roster available for trade. What is happening in Houston? Vesey's, too short trod to tell us it was all good. Just the winter we oh. Here's the deal. My then Tony cash proven to be a really good MBA coach. So many players have syndicate and put up big time numbers and achieve these, they probably would not have done if he was not their head coach when he had him, I'm thinking back to Steve Nash and his back. Toback MVP's. And how really in the modern day he was the first guy that would do the pick and roll, and then pro go underneath the basket and dribble, it back out to the other side. And then you had a guy like Shawn Marion who played a lot of small forward, and then my dad, Tony or to the four. And then you had a Marsh thought Yvonne at the five, and then it was seven seconds or less. That was his style of play. We've seen James harden. Excel go from really being shooting guard to not a primary ball handler. The most unique office of weapon that the game has seen, because he'll lead the Lee at different points of his career in three pointers me free throws me. Me. And so why has that now translated into championship productivity? So now than organization, you gotta sit back and say, Chris Paul has a big contract that we may or may not be able to you may or may not be able to move clinic. Pella is a young player that has shown promise, but he's come up small in a playoff, the last couple of years talkers asset I wanna keep him on my team. I love what he brings the nasty. Erik Gordon not down shooter. I could trust what he's going to bring, but we not meeting our goal brought all these guys in to continue with the Golden State Warriors. That's what a performance based part comes in. I'm seeing all of these individual accolades and all of these regular season wins. But when it matters the most we're not really able to diversify, what we do in order to get over the hump, and especially disappoint. Eating the way they lost it to go State Warriors without Kevin Durant. So you bring in my dad, Tony said, you got a long track record, and we believe in you as a coach.
Bloomberg Daybreak: Europe
Pressure On China To Agree To Trade Deal
"Radio. Even though we have a lot of liquidity offline from may happy made if you are taking today off there still some selected assets that are trading and some important events to look ahead to US equity futures advancing then he had apples upbeat forecasts. Traders expecting lower volumes throughout the day. Then bit of movement coming through in terms of US equity futures higher. You've got a bit of movement on the ASX two hundred straight up about eight tenths of one percent. Other than that. It's pretty quiet on the equity side in terms of the handover overnight. We did have course, they Tekere innings more generally with apple but also a little bit of a well, it was a weight on the shoulders from Google corporate earnings and develop the trade conflict between the US and China remain front and center, that's for sure I mean, running through some of the currency pairs here. You're looking here the Bloomberg dollar index. That's just barely about the flat line here quiet on the Major's front. So I mean, pretty much all of these pairs unchanged. Eurodollar one twelve twenty Donnie in one hundred and eleven fifty and cable is up less than a tenth of one percent. Short of one thirty fifty five commodities are on the pressure a little bit. Brent crude Coney down six tenths of one percent. We have higher inventories out of the US and the initial data overnight. Gold is lower by three tenths of one percent. So the metals on the pressure let me run through some of the news as well. In terms of the corporate earnings because we are getting of course, quite a few fast and furious start off with Sainsbury's fiscal year revenue at twenty nine point zero one billion pounds. You're looking here at fiscal year sales of thirty two point four one billion pounds to final dividend. Shares going to be seven point nine Pence. Few notes on guidance year Sainsbury saying the consumer outlook continues to be uncertain and that they are well-placed to navigate the external environment. So that's on the Sainsbury's front more retail input from next currently first quarter retail sales coming through a negative three point six percent. The market was looking for actually more of a contraction here down six point two one percents of slightly better than some of the analysts had pencilled in. I go to online sales eleven point eight percents the estimate heroes for twelve point eight percent. And so a little bit of a little bit better on the retail sales. But a little bit short of estimates on the online sales on guidance. They're still seeing fiscal year pre-tax at seven hundred and fifty million pounds and still see full price sales at up one point seven percent. And then also on the economic front. We've got some UK April house prices. They're up zero point four percent on the month. That's the nationwide. Up zero point nine percent on the years that is some economic input as well. So that's a bit of a flavor then on what's happening with these corporate earnings. Let's get now to some of the stories we're watching very carefully starting off with what's happening with the United States and China. The White House is ramping up pressure on China to reach a trade deal in the next two weeks. Bloomberg daybreak Asia anchor Bryan Curtis has more from Hong Kong, the US said once again, he would walk away from the talks if no deal, Mick Mulvaney, President Trump's acting chief of staff said negotiations would not go on forever. So the administration is making its impatience known a slight shift from the earlier more optimistic messaging still going into talks today. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the US side had a nice working dinner last night with vice-president Leo hub, two of the quick notes. The F T says the US is likely to accept a watered-down commitment from China on security that to speed up a deal and. And Chinese regulators said today, both Chinese and foreign banks will no longer be subject to ownership caps on local banks Kong, Bryan Curtis. Bloomberg daybreak Europe. That means on world financial markets away. Today's Federal Reserve announcement on the US interest rates. Bloomberg's Michael Mckee has a preview. This fed meeting is widely expected to be a nun event except for that little possibility of a rate cut. No, not a policy cut to the fence target. But an adjustment to the rate of interest. The central Bank pays banks on excess reserves the effective federal funds rate traded a record five basis points above the excess reserves rate Tuesday most traders blamed technical rather than policy issues such as a rise in repo rates on other securities that suggests the fed doesn't need to do anything others note, though, it's been an ongoing problem and forecast a slight cut in the rake in Washington, Michael Mckee, Bloomberg daybreak Europe. And as the central Bank meant to weigh monetary policy. Donald Trump sought to pressure the fed to make drastic moves to boost and already healthy US economy in a pair of tweets Tuesday. Trump criticized the fed for having incessantly lifted interest rates and wonderfully low inflation Colfer steep interest rate cut and the resumption of bond purchases as well. The thing with the theme. The president's comments came as another political drama swirled around the central Bank on Capitol Hill Trump's plan nomination. He recalls Stephen Moore to the fed sports looks increasingly uncertain as a third Republican Senator voices downs. The story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. A key ally of the president told reporters that Moore would be quote, a very problematic nomination, though, he has not made up his mind. Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa and Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama on Monday voice. Their own concerns about more a Heritage Foundation fellow and a former Trump campaign adviser Ernst the senate's fourth ranking Republican told reporters, quote, I am not enthused about what he has said in various articles later, Monday Shelby. The former chairman of the banking committee said he thought the proposed nomination, quote has some problems Charlie Pellett. Bloomberg daybreak Europe. That's something singing. Singapore where Mark Cranfield and markets live team joins us, Mark. Let's start off with the mlive question of the day. The fed odds in terms of the likelihood of a move very contradictory and not really in line with what we're seeing the job market. Yes. Good morning, certainly the market by some as strong as it's been since the nineteen sixties in the United States pretty healthy condition. We've also saying some pretty good wage growth as well. Even though it hasn't really fit injuring flation too much. So Fava certainly in the GDP data from Las week, as well already know the picture is pretty healthy economy. We go to started go to the payrolls not becoming up on Friday, and the fed will certainly be thinking about this as well because it probably reinforce this very strong picture of job market. So when you have that in the background certainly makes a bit curious as to why the mock is getting so excited about the polls. Not of the fed may take the opportunity to to try and rain the market back in a little bit and try and get them back more to a neutral territory because of that. Let's talk about the greenback. It's climbed against all but three of its group ten currency peers and twenty nineteen to folks at TD North America point out that any further strengthening any wheat test of some of those twenty eighteen is could mean trouble for stocks can be trouble for high your credit and currencies as well. More. Generally. You're seeing that dollar bears can return to hibernation after the FOMC run me through your thinking. Yeah. So we had a little bit of softness in the dollar towards the individual pro, and that's not unusual this month and maneuvering which goes on. And it's quite often the case where people are just have to tidy things up in the came off a little, but the fundamental case for is is pretty hard to ignore right now, particularly against the emerging market currencies. You've got short term rates in America, which are very high in comparison to other g ten currencies relatively high compared to the emerging market world. Plus as we were saying this pretty strong background of data from the United States. And they made it very. Clear it's on a long-term polls here. So he's not really going to be going anywhere. We've monetary policy at the same time. There's other countries that want to lower interest rates in in Asia. We've had India of moved already we've got to Malaysia looking at it, South Korea looking at it Philippines, Indonesia, they're all heading towards lower rates environment. So that certainly from an investor's point to you. They're probably thinking that the fed is beginning to look like a high yield currency here. So we could save it. If a rebound once the fed is out the way people start looking ahead to Friday's jobs report. It's always a pleasure catching up. Thank you for stopping buying. It's Mark Cranfield. Remember the for real time market commentary and analysis to markets. Lifelock. That's the only Bloomberg terminal.

The Big Story
Trudeaus Welcome To Canada: Three Years Later
"You supported it at the time, and the numbers would suggest you did you probably remember the first government plane of Syrian refugees arriving in Canada. This week. Canadian airports will be the sights of some first tentative steps in Canada refugees who have fled Syria are slowly beginning to arrive. Now, this is a wonderful night where we get to show not just a planeload of new Canadians. What Canada's all about we had to show the world how to open our hearts and welcome in people who are fleeing extraordinarily difficult situations. Justin Trudeau's brand made a virtue of Canadians welcoming accepting and supporting refugees from around the world and particularly from Syria in the months after Donald Trump when the two thousand sixteen American election with anti immigrant rhetoric Trudeau leaned further into this strategy. You may remember a famous hashtag welcome to Canada. And all the victory laps the liberal government. And to be fair, many of us took and reaction to the global praise. We received for our efforts that was a while ago. And as much as many of us might like to hold onto our image of goodhearted always welcoming world beloved Canada. It's time to ask some questions. Have we lived up to our promise to those refugees? We sponsored them and publicly welcomed them. We gave them jackets and a years worth of sponsorship. And how have they fair is that image of the welcoming Canadian really still who we are a recent survey found for the first time that forty percent of us believe there are too many visible minorities coming to Canada included in that forty percent are seventy one percent of conservatives. The conservatives are currently leading federal election polls by a healthy margin. So have we changed or has this sentiment always being here? And finally, what is it like for people fleeing their home for a better life to arrive in Canada today? And. Jordan, heath Rawlings. And this is the big story. Nncholas Kyung is the Toronto star's immigration. Reporter he's been in touch with many Syrian refugees since they arrived in this country. Do you remember back in January of twenty seventeen the hashtag welcome to Canada tweets from Justin Trudeau who can't? Yeah. What did that symbolize back then? And what kind of story did that spark about Canada immigration? And I think that was a different time and era. Trump was elected and his I think it put Trudeau in the very contrasting image. And I think he felt the need to distinguish himself from, you know, our leaders south of the border with all these regular what we call quote unquote, irregular migrants crossing the border. You know, I think he wanted to stick to his image of being an yell liberal leader progressive, you know, I think that's what behind, you know, his tack on on Twitter in the last couple of years has Candida in reality. Walked that talk. When it comes to welcoming, refugees, and emigrants definitely initially. We did right after the liberals were elected. I'm sure you remember the. Image of Ellen Kirti the Syrian child who lying face down. Dad, you know, on a beach in Turkey, and I think that image actually touched hearts of Canadians, and you know, and then we had a, you know, after ten years of the hopper government who whose government had always been criticized as being anti refugees and immigrants because of all these changes they made on immigration policies. So it was very refreshing the beginning to to have a new leader who's actually friendly to refugees and open your doors to refugees. And and and think you know, that actually received a Trudeau received a lot of accolades from, you know, a lot of Canadians, but then, you know, something out of his control, you know, no one anticipated that was the election of Trump, and the kind of implications of his travel bans, a his anti immigration immigrants, especially to do with the undocumented, including the dreamers that actually driven a lot of. Undocumented, you know, migrants south of the border to cross the border into the states. And I think you know, it started off being just trickling in you know, in in Manitoba and a little bit in Quebec. And then when the word God out and just you know, they just coming in in droves. Yeah. And I'm sure that liberal government also was caught off guard by it. And then, you know, I think the sentiment changed. I was actually talking to a friend this morning about how the idea of, you know, who is more deserving immigrants the idea the introduced in ten years by Jason Kenny, I think, you know, he was the first one who introduced you know, who is more deserving immigrants. You know ranking, you know, permanent residents skilled immigrants would be about, you know, try someone trying to be sponsored round under feminine family reunification, and then you have the real refugees and a bogus refugees. And I think that that concept actually was introduced. And then, you know, now, you know, we would hear, you know, even refugees criticizing the the regular migrants crossing from the states as jumper, and average is also criticizing I think, you know, it's very interesting to see how that legacy of dividing even amount migrant groups and advocates are we seeing a change in more than just perception have the liberals made any recent changes to that policy. I'll definitely and I think what is interesting last Monday. I'm sure you remember somewhere burried in their three hundred ninety two and ninety seven page a federal budget. Yeah. There were some changes about how to close that loophole in what we call the safe third country agreement for those, you know, audience who are not familiar with what the safe third country agreement is basically, then any asylum seekers from seeking protection in, you know, if they first arrived in the states that cannot, you know, just cross the border into Canada and make. An Silom claim and vice versa. Glad there's a provision in that agreement that actually if you know a migrant actually cross between of the official ports of entry. Meaning that if they manage to sneak in to the country than they're not down by that restrictions. So that's what we are seeing when the word got out, you know, a lot of people knowing that someone successfully managed to get through the border, you know, some would say irregularly or some, you know, conservatives with them illegally causing the different change in the policy in the last two years. You know, you've heard a lot of criticisms from advocates general public, you know, veering that, you know, all of a sudden we'd closing down a border like what the stays in a Trump has done between Mexico and the US like is it a demarcation of a new trend. You know, or is just you know, an election maneuver, you know, before the Tober election. We don't know we'll have to see I feel like there's kind of. Of a contradiction in terms of the way, we like to think of ourselves and hold up. I know I've done it myself. I've got many friends and acquaintances who do it who really treasure that idea of candidate being incredibly welcoming immigrants and refugees from all over the world. And then you start to see these signs that not only are the loopholes being closed, but public perception has shifted, and I wonder in your work have the people you talk to who are refugees or who work with refugees. Have they seen the same kind of welcoming that we like to talk about on the ground in practice. You know, as interesting, you know, when when we talk about public opinions, you know, the issues about discrimination and racism, you know, I think it has never gone away. But I just feel now with the issue over the irregular migration from the states with, you know, all the nationalist movements in we're seeing in Europe, South of the border in the states and. You know, we had last year we had a mayoral candidate. I'm not going to name her because I think as you know, I just don't want her name be heard, you know, running for mayor as the mayor of the city. I think you know, it's just a matter of you know, in all this public polls people just become more vocal. You know, we have always heard about Canadians being polite being nice in. I came as an immigrant myself when I was twenty three years old that was like longtime ago as a newcomer, you know, you always could feel it, you know, from body language from you know, it doesn't have to be verbally someone is being discriminatory, but you just being more sensitive more where an edge just feel though sentiments always there. But you know, it's just a matter of one I think the volume of than the volume meaning the number of immigrants coming the source country. They're coming from. Meaning, you know, they're more, you know migration. Global migration the move on movement always from developing country to develop country. These people are looking forward, you know, that alive. Not a worse life, right? Yeah. So the source country, meaning that, you know, the major source would be from Africa from the Middle East and from Asia, and I think that, you know, ratio combination and the volume definitely, you know, a contributing contributing factors to promote that kind of nationalist populist movement. Plas-, you know, you have you know, politicians playing contra and divide. My feeling is those sentiments just coming about surface. Now instead of being, you know, hidden, you know, you know, now, you, you know, you would hear you know, even politicians talking about the idea of political correctness. And I think, you know, even back in the nineties, you know, those would be considered like French opinions menaul, you you know, is publicly debate. I'm not all I'm like, you know, four for public dialogues on you know, how politically correct should Canadians b but I just feel the way, you know, you talk. About these issues. You know, you have to be really careful you don't want to see what's what has happened in Europe happening in Canada because we are way more diverse in our population. If we have die kind of divisive emotions among as we would be in bigger trouble than just, you know, one community against another because it would be like a chaos like many communities against many different communities and the two and some years since we really started welcoming a large amount of Syrian refugees. What have we seen in terms of what their lives are like what issues they faced how well they've settled in Canada because I feel like we heard a lot about them when they first arrived. And we welcome them. With open arms says we love to tout. And then obviously, there's a whole process that happens away from the cameras. Uh-huh. We actually at the the star. We actually did last year was the third year at a third verse ary of their Saruman of the first wave of Syrians arriving. And we did, you know, do, you know a series of stories to look at how well they have integrated. They have not integrated and one of the, you know, I in general like, I think my observation as, you know, just like any migrants, you know, you have the issues about adjustment to a couch her to new language about finding jobs finding housing it is no different from if you and I would move from Toronto to toback or two I think you back would be a better example because of the language difference. But the thing is, you know, we would have, you know, the, you know, already support social support network of friends and sometimes families to help us out. But I think for refugees under the big difference is they don't come here by choice. If you remember when you know initially when the series arrived. Which interview a lot of Syrians? And you know, they didn't you never heard of Canada before they didn't want to come. And if they had a choice some of them actually wanted to go back and six months when the war was over. Really? That's what they told me. But for a lot of immigrants, I think especially immigrants they come here by choice to come here with the skills. They wanted to make a bad alive if not for themselves, if as we heard about, you know, doctors driving cabs phenomenon before, but at least, you know, for the second joined they raised generations. They wanted them to succeed to have a good education. But you know, that's by choice. You know, they always have the choice to go back before refugees. They don't have that choice. What kinds of resources are available to them? And and one of the reasons we're talking to you today is because there's a a story out of Calgary of a nine year old hours that story. Yeah. Of a nine year old Syrian refugee girl who took her own life, and she was being bullied at school. Which is I mean on the one hand is something that not just refugee kids face. But I wonder what kind of resources are available for. For those folks who might be going through that because I can only imagine what that would be like in combination with trying to integrate, and, you know, a language barrier and everything else before we before you answer your questions. I just want to talk about little bit of the terminology the terminology of refugees. Okay. Because I think there's a lot of inner confusion among the public. You know, they think refugees refugees refugees, but they're actually different categories of of refugees. You know, what we talk about this Syrian refugees that, you know, a lot of community groups have sponsored in the last few years, we call those sponsored refugees, meaning that the regard the destination by UNHCR the UN United Nations refugee agency, so to find them as legit refugees. And they are being they had to go through medical clearances and security clearances by Canadian officials before they are being resettled as permanent residents in Canada. Meaning that when he arrived there already permanent residents, right? But I I think. Sometimes people confuse, you know, confuse them with refugees who come across the US border. We call those, you know, you know, technically illegally as asylum seekers because they are status still undecided. Meaning they still need to go before a refugee judge to get present their claims why they need Canada's protection, and you know, and then we'll be a positive or negative decision. So there are different surfaces afford to you know, though, the Syrians who are sponsor to Canada, and those asylum seekers who actually just come here for protection when we talk about, you know, two Syrians, they're known to kind of social and community services available available to them as no different from. You know, any, you know, if someone come as an architect or a lawyer they're eligible to any, you know, housing surfaces a counseling, including mental health counseling, employment counseling, and they get helped to rage. The kids go to school to enroll the kids in schools and. Everything that you can think of you know, and for your initial settlement. But when we talk about the asylum seekers because you know, their status in Canada, still uncertain. So there's actually very limited government surfaces actually available to them. Yes. The kids can go to school. They can apply for a work permit to work in Canada. But before or you know, you know, there's an outcome. You know, whether they've been acepted as refugee or not they would not be able to let's say to get, you know, housing support or you know, some of the other services. Yep. So, you know, it's so it depends on which group we're talking about, you know, there's, you know, again, you know, comes down to that different labellings of refugees and migrants when you talk to people who don't know much about your line of work and find out what are some of the biggest questions, you get or or myths that you have to tackle. Because I feel like this is an issue that everybody has an opinion on right now. And it's really nuanced. I can tell you that covering emmigration the right for prob probably the most polarizing beat and initial sperm. There's no gray area people either for it or against it. You know, for every story that you know, I've filed in the paper, you know, run into paper somehow people can find a way to criticize. No. And and you know, you have a bleeding liberal. You're you you have a bleeding hearts, and you know, about being a left wing propaganda all these stories, but some of the biggest may have is really interesting that has been going around for God to be like eighteen years now that refugees in a refugee claimants, they actually could get over three thousand dollars of government benefits a month, which is a myth because longtime ago eighteen years ago. I I did a story about government-sponsored refugees, and they receive a startup check of you know, for to cover the first month last month, rand and other benefits. But is only one time. You know, I forgot about the amount. And that each month they would from then on word they would receive a welfare check of. I think. At the time. It was five hundred seventy dollars, and then words Scott out, and you know, spread on the internet that these people were, you know, these people referring to Reggie claim is actually the God, you know, over three thousand dollars tax payers dollars from you. And I every month instead of like, you know, didn't say it was a huge portion of that was a one time when time benefits, and then, you know, even today, I still thought to see those Email not emails, but those inflammation recycled online, and your and other baked one would be how come, you know, the queue-jump queue-jumping thing as Sean? Yeah. But people don't realize that you know, these different programs being sponsored two candidates process. You know by different unit within immigration Canada. You know, the the asylum-seekers they are being dealt with by the immigration and refugee board immigration programs handled. I and again, you know, immigration units within immigration. So it's not like, you know, I cannot jump the keel because I'm not in the. Q? How can I jump the queue? This is just very interesting. But then, you know, you have all these, you know, the the for example, immigration applicants who got caught up in in the backlog, which I'm playing how come refugees the chewed have met with more respect than, you know, by the government and the who actually come here with my skills eager to contribute to the your economy. It's, you know, very fascinating, those kind of comments and criticisms when you talk to refugees on the Silom seekers of these days, how aware are they that they are the most divisive issue in the upcoming election potentially that there's this huge conversation going on around them. I think there is you know, not enough awareness. I think you know, one is a lot of them. They're just so occupied by getting the protection in the process, you know, talking to their lawyers trying to collect, you know, a police report from Hungary or from Czech Republic to prepare for the claims. Like, I'm talking about the the the more recent arrivals. And then, you know, the those who have been here but longer there ups, you know, they're occupy their occupied by, you know, the next step is the settlement housing, you know, how their kids are doing in school. Maybe some of them have to do with post traumatic stress disorder. You know with the mental health challenges, depression, you know, that was that in after, you know, the first twelve to eighteen months, and, you know, I've probably, you know, Canadian politics would be the last thing they have. In mind to be honest. But they do, you know, if you talk to any refugees, I think especially those already being granted status in Canada. They always praise them about how grateful they are here to be given a new life. How safe their kids would feel, you know, if you talk to, you know, refugees who are here, you know, GT keel, refugees, they'll talk about you know, how happy they are to be able to themselves. You know, they only have good things to talk about China. And they they don't take new lives for granted. I think that's the best part about, you know, sometimes, you know, no offense to Canadians khanate Canadian Canadians, but there are dissents of talking about the sense of entitlement. Sometimes I think, you know, maybe Canadians may have a stronger sense of entitlement than some of these refugees who don't take what they receive a granted easily. Do they feel the ground shifting? I mean, we've mentioned new polls in new campaigns that that show that Canadians in general are starting to take a harder. Line on immigration and refugees. Do they feel that that that's happening? Definitely for example, last last week the Ontario budget actually completely strip any funding for legal services for immigrants and refugees. So I went out to talk system advocates and talk to you refugee claimants who actually got caught a by the funding cuts. You definitely feel the ground shifted a little bit that you know, is not as open as friendly during the time when we opened the doors for the Syrians, especially when you talk to because during the the border crossing some people crisis from the states, we I did talk to a lot of people who cross the borders and why they're here and what their circumstances were the feeling towards Canada. And I I'm been in touch with some of them to what is interesting as you know, when they first arrive, you know, they were so grateful, but it's slowly slowly, you know, especially the the ones who are. English speaking, for example, a Nigerian family that I've kept in touch with because they they do look you to watch the media the TV, and they understand the language. So they are able to observe the transit the changes. They would tell me, you know, when they first got here, and you know, it's an open door policy, and they talked about that tweet by by Trudeau, right? And then now, you know with all this, you know, changes they do feel that you know, there's a shift in the they they don't see necessarily as Canadians attitudes immigrants shifted, but more like in terms of at least from the policy government policy perspective, it has shifted. How important is it for Canada to keep that image that Trudeau showed the rest of the world with that tweet weather or not? And I'm saying this whether or not we actually live up to it on the ground. But in the fact that that's what the rest of the world holds up Canada has and I think you would get a different response. If you talk to people in Berta versus you know somewhere into Perez. Versus the rest of Canada, or you know, incubating, and you know, we all heard about the the the Bill twenty one to the Bill to about secularism. Yup. I think you you get a different response. If you talk to, you know, different people from different provinces that image is out there. Like that is not I'm not outsiders. Yes. People just we know that which has more which provinces tend to be more insight candidates, quite divisive for sure. But like, I mean that is you see all those tweets and Facebook posts from Americans every time Trump does something horrible on immigration, or whatever that says, you know, what Canada's not like this. But is interesting. I think in the recent these two months I've seen in different American publications including newspapers, I think there was the story in New York Times as well about, you know, the the the shifts, you know, they mentioned all mentioned about Trudeau's tweet ragged at the, you know, what was happening recently, you know, in terms of his policies, and you know, they made a great big feature about the changes. We, you know, you know, burried in the but federal budget announcement and the close of the in the safe third countries and slowly and slowly, you know, because the star we do have like an immigration Facebook group like where we have members from you know, cross the border around the world. You started to see sometimes, you know, I see the tweets from people that I follow. They follow me about those sentiments like slowly, you know, I think people outside of Canada started to notice those changes as well as good is it bad. Like, I I don't know like I can't judge. But definitely I think people notice those policy changes. But what I would like personally would like to people to to see is the context the context of we are having an election coming those policy changes are driven by politics and just how ugly politics can be. And you know, and I hope hopefully, people would see that you know, what we could blame politicians, but just don't blame. Those people the vote Orebro people who need protection who was just wants a better life a safer life.

"Report Rudy Giuliani argues, President Trump did not obstruct Justice. When according to the report, the president asked former White House counsel, Don Mcgann to instruct the deputy attorney general to fire Mueller. President United States was an innocent man being charged with something he didn't do you have to grant that now when they say no proof of underlying crime. You got a grant that as a legal and factual matter. Democrats continue calling for the release of the full report congressman Adam Schiff, the chairman of the house intelligence committee stopped short of calling for impeachment is certainly the case that appeasement would be unsuccessful. If the Republican party continues to place a party above country continues it essentially toback the prison. No matter. How unethical dishonest conduct may be on Fox News Sunday.
