Turkey's Erdogan turns away reform-minded challenger to win another term
"In Istanbul, residents are reacting to the news that Turkish president Recep Tayyip has won a third term in office over one secured more than 52% of the vote in Sunday's presidential runoff against kemal khali, two weeks after he falls short of securing an outright victory in the first round. We won, we won, says one resident. Erdoğan is a fighter, we finally won. But not everyone in the Turkish capital is celebrating. One resident says our expectation was to have new blood to have someone new come. However, this did not happen. I am disappointed. That is what I can tell you. Erdoğan is now tasked with confronting skyrocketing inflation that has fueled a cost of living crisis and rebuilding in the aftermath of February's devastating earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people.

"The United Nations is racing to extend a deal that allowed shipments of Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea to parts of the world struggling with hunger.

"I just want to make this point. Our country hasn't become a safe haven for criminals. Our government knew this man. They knew who he was and they knew where he was. It took him 5 seconds to figure out who he was. He was here because he was safe. And that's why he kept coming back here because he was safer in this country than he was in Mexico or Honduras. That's all on set. Four times is what you got to know. And some people have said 5, I saw Sean last night on Fox News. I've glimpsed in. I put my toe in the water with Fox News.

Intel Stops Producing Bitcoin-Mining Chips
"We start off with this Intel news Intel has now made it public that they're not going to continue producing the block scale asic chip. It first announced that they were going to produce Bitcoin a 6 chips in leave April of 2022. So about a year ago, calendar wise. And they've already closed up shop according to the sources I have who have been working on this or working with Intel. The reason is that they produce a ton of these chips. There was a glut of supply and now there's no reason to continue making them, no one is going to continue buying them. Hive is, of course, one of the purchasers of these chips and they have already made their hive minor that has been deployed. We don't have a lot of details on the efficiency of the machine or the tear ash output but we do know they have over 5000 of those deployed. So a few other miners who did purchase them, but I don't think anything really happened with it. So like grid or Argo, two firms that seemingly we did get a lot of updates on what happened with their allocations from Intel. But it looks like Intel is trimming up a little bit, focusing on other things. Doesn't necessarily mean they don't like Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining, but they're focusing on. Other stuff right now. I don't love this name. I mean, like potentially the greatest centralization point if you want to really go layers deep in Bitcoin in general is probably the market share breakdown a number of manufacturers. And geographically, there's we had one in the United States and Intel, it would have been kind of nice. I was kind of rooting for them. It seemed like they're still going to accept orders until October 23 is what the article claims. And they're still going to basically service shipments through April 24. So it's not like the minor stat or buying these rigs are just being cut cold turkey. So I mean, that's good for them to honoring all their contracts and et cetera. But for Bitcoin in general and for the mining space, I was hoping to have another prominent reliable professional manufacturing Intel. And I hope they come back.

China accounted for 92% of all new coal projects announced. The reports said that the increase comes at a time when the world needs to retire its coal fleet.

Russia: Ukrainian drone caused blast far from border, 3 hurt
"Ukraine's government on Sunday, called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council to counter what it is called the Kremlin's nuclear blackmail after Russian president Vladimir Putin revealed plans to station tactical atomic weapons in Belarus. One Ukrainian official said that Russia has taken Belarus as a nuclear hostage, but Moscow said it was making the move in response to the west's increasing military support for Ukraine. Putin announced the plan in a television interview that aired on Saturday, saying it was triggered by a UK decision this past week to provide Ukraine with armor piercing rounds containing depleted uranium, Putin argued that by deploying its tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Russia was following the lead of the United States. He noted that Washington has nuclear weapons based in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and turkey. Russia has stored its weapons at dedicated depots on its own territory and moving part of the arsenal to a storage facility in Belarus would effectively up the ante in the Ukrainian conflict in response, Ukraine's foreign ministry condemned the move, stating that the world must be united against someone who endangers the future of human civilization.

That's the only thing it says that Turkish ministry of culture and tourism places the data around three 80, which if it's in that century means that the oldest part of it, and the part you're seeing in the cliff is obviously not the oldest part, it's much more recent.

"And you know, when you're shooting with a bow, it's pretty hard to kill unless you hit him just in the right spot on the wings or take the head off or something. And I was shooting a big jackhammers. One reason the hunt was special. I mean, I've got like all hunters, and I had a lot of turkey kills that were really special. And the only reason this was so special was that that bird put on a big show. He was real close. But also, nobody was killing birds with a bow. Now, when I was off at a big bow shop, I ran into one guy that killed him pretty regularly. And one thing he told me and that's I used that a lot. He told me that if your cackle, real hard, they can be looking right at you. And you can kill them. So I didn't want to blind. I knew the blind would work better, but if I couldn't kill them, just looking at them straight in the eyes, I didn't want to kill one that way. So I never took anything. There were times when I might throw some camo cover out around if it was really out in the open, but almost never. I just, you know, I just like to sit in the Woods and see if I could get them in close. So there were guys doing it, but not around here. Scott Brown is just a few years older than me. We grew up in the same town and I've always looked up to him as a deer and turkey hunter. When I was in my early 20s, I'd spend hours listening to Scott till turkey and deer stories and describe and detail how game used mountain terrain. I've never forgot what he taught me. Here is when a Scott's favorite stories. A friend of mine, Randy Steph had called me and said, man, we ought to tell you what we ought to do on Wednesday and we're off. I said, why don't you just go turkey in? I said, well, I guess we could do that. I said, I don't know where we go. I hadn't been out. You know, I'd be going in the blind, but you could go to a place that pretty familiar with and we'd probably find a bird. He says, man, I'm game for whatever, so drove in here west of town, kind of access this mountain that I like to hunt from the south side. You know, when we got in here extra early because it's a good 30 minute pool from the time you get out of the truck to the top of the mountain probably. So we pulled it on top and there was kind of a big gap in there and we sat around in there till day lot and there was a turkey that started goblin on the south side of the mountain, cross a big hollow out there. Within the first couple hours a daylight Scott and Randy move in on a bird that was a long ways away. He was gobbling every breath, but by the time they made it to him, so did someone else in the bird got spooked. The boys were pretty down. I think we're both a little bit disappointed that that didn't work out. So we decided we were going to work our way back so we pulled back up, kind of headed east and I told brandy we let's walk up this ridge and we'll get out in this divide up here is a really good place and we'll spend some time. So we pulled this big ridge, just one of those places when you walk into it, you just know, you know, it's just a beautiful place. Everything ties together out there. I walked in and I said, Randy, you might not know what you're looking at right here, but I said, I know of a half a dozen big gobblers has been killed right here in this debate in my lifetime. I mean, this is the spot. We sat around there about 5 minutes, probably, and I thought I was going to call. And when I called a turkey, this gobbled above us on the mountain. Just like, like it's supposed to happen. And when he gobbled, Randy looked at me and I said, Randy, we're about to kill this turkey. And he said, all right, what do we need to do? And I just get right out there, but that big pine tree, face your gun towards the mountain, right there in those open Woods, and I said, we are aware of that turkey wants to be. Anyway, in a minute, the turkey hasn't said anything so if I'm calling one more time, see where he's at when I called that time that turkey gobbled and I mean, we should have been looking at it, you know? He's just right there in about that time, I looked past Randy looking towards the foot of the mountain and I see the bird fan out. And when I saw the fan come up, I saw Randy kind of get down on the shotgun. And it's a pretty good ways. It's 50 60 yards through the Woods to where this turkey's fanned out. Well, I'm looking at a bird over 50 yards away, probably, and all of a sudden not here. I mean bad close. I don't even have my shotgun. I've got to lay it across my lap, you know? Just kind of kick back to watch the show. Anyway, I said, Randy? Did you hear that? And Randy never said a word. He just, 'cause the whole time, he is looking at what he believes is the turkey that we're trying to kill here. And so am I in about that time? Just again, just close, really close. And I can't, I can't find this turkey, and I'm thinking there's no way that turkey I'm looking at is the one I'm here. There's a big old bull palm tree. When I'm talking to one of them, huge pines about ten steps in front of Randy. So this big gobbler just steps out behind this bull pine tree at about ten yards from Randy's gun barrel. What had happened he came in to us right behind that pond tree the whole time and we just never saw him. And he steps out from this pine tree, he's just right on top of us, and of course I panic. I'm sitting there with my shotgun, right across my lap, wishing I had it on my knee, 'cause Randy's out of position. He's aiming at these other turkeys. The turkey comes up hard to his right. Well, anyway, the turkey just kind of just kind of walks out behind that pond and he walks behind another big pine and when he does, rain, he's able to. He did perfect. He just stayed still until the turkey got behind the next pine, and he just swung the barrel over, got it up on his knee, turkey walks out from behind the pine, hasn't seen any of that go down in Randy just bam. He shoots. And when he shoots, he just kills the turkey, stone dead, which rarely ever happens, right? So you shoot probably 90% of turkeys you shoot flop for a little bit after you shoot them. He pulled the cord on this thing. When he shoots the thing just falls over stone dead. Of course there's a big commotion and these other turkeys blow up and fly off and all this other stuff. It's a range kind of standing there. And he goes, tail, he just had this little spice. He said, I don't know how I missed that turkey. Randy, you didn't miss that turkey. He's like, I didn't. I was like, now I think he's laying stone dead right there. He's like, oh man, he's, I thought I'd miss when I shot. He was nowhere to be found. I thought he was just gone, you know? And I'm like, no, man, he's laying right there. You killed him, you know? So we jump up and go out there and I mean, he's killed a dandy. I mean, you know, close to 20 pound turkey had good beard, inspires and all that. And he's like, what do you want to do now? I said, let's pull back up on the mountain, where we started out this morning, so we pulled back if I know the main mountain walked out across what we call big gap, we kind of got back around in there. We got in there and I busted Randy that turkey this morning was about halfway down the leg. I want to call right here and let's just see what happens. And man, I put my calm in my mouth. I called one time, that turkey just got big, right below us. This is about 11 o'clock in the morning. And I'm really wanting to gobble again without me calling him. So I'm just kind of sitting there waiting on the gobble. Well, he gobble. But when he did, he was half the distance. In fact, he wasn't much out of sight from us. And so we just had to take what we had right there. A Randy sit down right there..

"Is that it engulfed that mountain. Wind started to blow, tree started to shake, rain started to pound the ground, lighten and started to crack and what did I do? Man, I put my boots back on and I took off in almost a run. Straight for that turkey. I thought, holy cow, what an incredible cover to get close to this turkey. And as I'm moving through the Woods, I'm carrying my shotgun, am I right hand in a bolt of lightning strikes so close? I literally threw the shotgun and laid face first on the ground and was just praying that I didn't get struck by lightning. I laid on the ground and I promise you I threw that shotgun and laid there until the bulk of that storm passed by me. And you know how a thunderstorm is, you know, the peak of it passes and then it still raining behind it and it's a little bit less. Well, as soon as the peak passed and the thunder, the lightning was kind of a way for me. I went and found my shotgun and man, I just walked right up. This still black dark. It's still two hours before daylight. And I just walk right up to where I believe that turkey is and get set up and I am soaking wet. My gut is wet, but man, I am in the game. Well, daylight comes. Birds start chirping, crows, start crowing, and that turkey's there. I know it. I heard him goblin before the thunderstorm. He does not say a word. He doesn't say a word. Fly down time comes. And I don't dare Yelp at this turkey very much at all, but I put my diaphragm call in and I did a clock and probably a three note Yelp and I put the call up. I was done. Indirectly, man, I knew I was so close to that I would see this turkey fly down. I'd never saw the turkey flat down. Just right at about fly down time. I see that sucker is wet as a Labrador retriever that just jumped out of a river from retrieving a mallard duck. He comes walking up the hill, big old beard, just swinging, and he was kind of skirting around me going up the mountain, and I kind of wield to my right just a little bit, never gobbled and man he raised up his old neck. Boom. Killed that turkey. Man, I have rarely been so proud of a turkey. And I went and got him and it was just a big gobbler, and I hiked him out of there, put him in the truck, and I took him to bear John's school, and I got him out of school and a bunch of the kids from his class came out and I killed what I called the lightning bird. But I never would have done it without bears help of telling me right where that sucker was roosted. I'll never forget the a lot and bird. This next story, though, is from my dad, Gary newcombe. It's important to know going into this that when he killed this bird very few people were using bows to kill spring turkeys. And if they were, they were using blondes, which is something that he didn't want to do. Here's old Gary believer Newcomb. Well, you know, years ago, I don't know what ten 15. I had that black max Matthews bow. I'm pretty sure you had your old green truck. You were in high school and back then we had quite a few turkeys. And I killed, I'd usually kill a turkey, just about every year. And then I'd bow hunt. Bo hunt for turkeys. Bow hunt for turkey. So I went out and had my bow in that morning, nothing was goblin. It just looked like a dead morning. And so I went in an area that I knew how it was quite a few turkeys. And started climbing a mountain, got kind of tired and I thought, well, this looks pretty good right here. I think I'll just sit down, take a break and actually set up, you know, may not blinds or anything, but just sit on the ground and place where I could actually shoot. In some sitting there on the side of this mountain up against a good tree which gave me a little camo, had some brush out around me and so I just, I'd call just normal calling, I'd call and sit there and you know, 15, ten, 15 minutes later, it was real dry. And I heard what sounded to me like two turkeys. In one of them sounded like a big turkey. So in my mind I had a I had a gobbler, big goblin or Jake coming in. They came in about 20 yards above me, and they just kept walking, you know, they walked to the west, you know, I'm kind of looking to the north and they did it just by the textbook. That was what was so interesting to me. I mean, it's like, I figured this O gober was probably a professor. He was teaching his young guys what to do. Don't calm down hill to a call. You'll get shot. So they go down, you know, out of sight. I never did see them. I could just hear them. And they dropped down to my level. And then the big gobbler just came in. The other bird didn't come. I don't know what to do was. So I had my bow ready, had everything ready to shoot, but the birds coming straight at me. So I don't get a shot. Well, there's a log on the ground, you know, 18 inches tall or so. Foot and it ran about ten, 15 feet running down the mountain, and there was a brush at one end, but there was an opening at the top side up here. So I'm sitting there in this bird put on a show like I've seen very few times. And he came in and he got the strutting, but when he got to that log, he wouldn't cross it. Just like the textbooks say. So he started going up and down that log and I noticed as he on the log? No, no, he's not on the log. When you repeated it to me the other day, you said on the log. He wasn't on the law. He wouldn't come over the law. He was on the other side of the log. And he would strut up, which I didn't have a shot because he's looking at me. Then he had turned and he had strut down. And so when he, when he made his turn and started down, I had a shot. And so I watched him do this two or three times. And I mean, he's close. I mean, he's ten 15 feet away. So once I saw his pattern, then as soon as he came up and he made his turn, and I'm like this. I'm full draw. And then once he started down that log, I just shot his head off almost, you know? I mean, it was pretty simple. And so once I shot him, I shot him right at the base of the.

"Oral stories have always been important for humans. They operate using the Supernatural technology that replaces a moment that's been overran by Tom. The telling of the story allots it a Second Life resuscitating it to transcend time and geography in the mind of another human. You can't tell a story to a dog or a horse and expect them to get much out of it. But that's what makes us special. The words of others shape imagery in our minds and in many ways, it's better than actually being there. The storyteller has rendered out the impurities and the valuable details, information, and the takeaway of the experience is delivered to the listener in a neat, tidy package. That is, if the person is an efficient storyteller and stories always indicate the values of the teller. I'm always looking for where someone puts emphasis and shows what's important to them. Because it will show you something about their insides. Well, that was a fancy way to say that if you like a good turkey out in store, you're gonna love this podcast. Turkey stories are different than any other kind of story because there's always lots of action, hand gestures, ups and downs, and turkey sounds being replicated. Told by the right person at the right time in the right company of people, they're hard to beat. I don't recall a better lineup of turkey hunters and storytellers than in this here podcast. We got them stacked like turkey beards in the cigar box. I'd like to invite you to sit back and enjoy a campfire with some people from my world. Every one of them I respect in a unique way, but they've all got one thing in common. They live for hunting wild turkeys. This first story is told by none other than Yanis putis of meat eater. Since time immemorial, the south has been the cultural epicenter of turkey hunting, but the burgeoning gobbler populations of the west are spawning some great western turkey hunters and Giannis is one of them. The man can flat cover some ground and chases some turkey's hard. By my request, here's Yanis most memorable turkey hunt and his emphasis might surprise you. Clay? Here's my hunting story. My turkey hunting story isn't necessarily a story about me, it's more about my wife and when I got to see her experience through a turkey hunt. Takes place in Montana about 7 years ago and we had gone out, we had just moved to Montana and it was our first spring turkey hunting in Montana. I found a spot on a map that looked good. We drove in there, set up a camp, started hunting. I went out first one day, she stayed back with the kids. I might even got a gobbler the first day. It was good. And so when I got back, I said, you should go out for an afternoon and just see what you can do. And she'd maybe been out a couple days with me, but very, very early in her turkey hunting career. Little to no experience, I sent her out with a slate pot call in a peg. Some basic camouflage. And she was looking at it more like, I'm gonna go out and get away from kids and life in the craziness and just go out and enjoy the forest and the outdoors for a few hours. This is maybe 2 o'clock in the afternoon. She walks out of the camp. So, the girls and I, we go and hike a little mountain nearby. We glass, we go pick flowers, come back to camp, maybe it's four now. Mom's not back yet. We leave camp. There's a pond nearby. We go to the pond. Try to catch some frogs, look at turtles, throw rocks in the water. Come back to camp. No mom. Make dinner kind of postpone eating dinner, waiting, no mom. We eat dinner, still no mom, starting to get dark. Now this is probably May and Montana, so the days are long. It doesn't actually get dark until probably close to 9 p.m.. So she's been gone 6, 7 hours now. And soon enough, the kids are tired. So I put them to bed. Eventually it's like getting dusty. I have a beer, still no mom, no wife. And actually, I'm like, well, I'm gonna go to bed. She must have gone out for a really long hike, and she's just really enjoying herself, so I'm not too worried about it. I'm just gonna lay down next to the kids in the tent, close my eyes. It gets really dusty, and I'm just fading into some sleep. When all of a sudden, zip, that tent door zips open and I hear like, oh my gosh, there he was. There I was, and I was calling, and he was calling back. Was that you calling? I was calling and then he was calling, and then I think I spooked him, but then I went around the hill, and then I called some more. And he called back, and I was making these sounds, and I was doing this. And he was calling an unlike just waking up and I'm like, wow, wow, wow. Who are you? What have you done with my wife? What is going on here right now? And she experienced not only one but got into work two different gobblers in her whatever. 7, 8 hours that she had spent out there Roman the hills of Montana looking for Miriam's turkeys. And twice had gotten to experience the joy that we all find in turkey hunting that I especially love. And that's like the communication with that gobbler with that bird. And it just bit her so hard. Like I hadn't seen my wife so excited about a certain thing in who knows how long probably since the kids were born. But she was so fired up, just like asking all the questions, what did I do wrong? I should have done this and then she's hyper analyzing it in just the excitement of it all and of course I'm just like kind of coming out of just almost being asleep and it was all hard to comprehend for me at the moment, but in the end we saw that she had been working a bird that had actually roosted and it was on a nearby ridge from camp, it was only maybe three or 400 yards away. And she said, well, I thought he was there. I think he had roosted and I figured I should just back out and then come back, you can't, which is the right thing to do. But when she came out to the road that we used to access the hunting zone, so she says, I backed out of there, but I left a pile of flowers in the road, and if you take a left at that pile of flowers, if you go down the ridge, you'll run into this gobbler. So the next morning I get up nice and early, walk down the road. I see a pile of fresh, but wilted from being sitting out there overnight. Arrow leaf balsam root bright yellow, you could even in the dark you could see them from 50 60 yards away. The pile of flowers, I take a left, don't go too far, sit down, and as it cracks light, I can hear the gobbler start to gobble in the tree, and it was a classic hunt that morning. I worked in for probably whatever in the tree for 15, 20 minutes, and then on the ground for another 20, 30 minutes until he finally committed. Came over the hill, and I shot him. That's a story of how my wife got hooked on turkey honey and hooked on communicating with turkeys. I'll never forget being woken up by a excited energized near 40 year old woman after communicating with a couple gobblers in Montana. Good one, Giannis, and you'll have to wait till the end of the.

"That just sort of reinforced that. A limit because of the powerful secular forces running the country. But Erdoğan was not to be counted out so quickly. He staged a comeback and became prime minister in 2003. At first, the U.S. and Europe embraced Erdoğan as a pro democracy, moderate Islamic leader. Someone with conservative social value, sure, but would check off the right boxes on western economic policies, like privatizing state owned businesses and opening up to more foreign investment. There was even talk of turkey joining the EU. But over the last decade and especially after a coup attempt in 2016, Erdoğan has taken an authoritarian turn, cracking down on political dissenters and claiming really broad political powers. He even abolished the office of prime minister, an office he used to hold, getting rid of power sharing at the top. He now appoints judges, provincial governors, even the heads of public and private universities. Erdoğan has also muscled his way into basically running the economy. In 2018, he decreed that from now on he would choose the head of the Central Bank without any kind of confirmation process. And he put his son in law in charge of the finance ministry. So people who follow turkey, economists and investors were understandably on edge in May of 2018 when Erdoğan made a state visit to the United Kingdom. The president's Republican turkey and misses Erdoğan, your majesty. Anna's visit, Erdoğan went to Buckingham Palace to meet the queen. Good morning. Good morning. So we meet again. He gave a joint press conference with then prime minister Theresa May, pretty standard state visit stuff. And he also stopped by Bloomberg TV in London for an interview. Your excellency, thank you very much indeed for taking the time to join us here at Bloomberg. So many questions by this time, the lira had been losing value all year. And annual inflation was in double digits. The TV appearance was an opportunity to offer some reassurance that he had a plan to address turkey's economic problems. That maybe he would raise interest rates to get a handle on inflation. Instead, Erdoğan threw an interpreter double down on the opposite idea. First of all, when you look at the cause and effect relationship, the intest rate is the cause and inflation is the result. The lower the interest rate is, the lower inflation will be. This is something that Erdoğan has been saying for over a decade that raising interest rates fuels inflation. It is a completely unorthodox belief that's universally rejected by mainstream economists. Because it flies in the face of economic logic. Logic that says if you make it more expensive to borrow money by raising rates, that slows down the economy. So like a business owner might hold off on taking out a loan to expand their factory. Or a shopper might not put a random impulse purchase on their credit card. Because they're thinking about how much they'll have to pay an interest. These micro decisions add up across an economy over time. Eventually, demand goes down and prices follow. And this chain of events is what policymakers want to set in motion when inflation gets too high. It's why the U.S. bed is raising rates right now. But in turkey, even with its runaway inflation problem, Erdoğan was like, no way. After his television interview, the Turkish lira dropped to a new record low. Because if Erdoğan wasn't going to change his mind on interest rates, even with inflation spiking, markets calling for action and turkey facing a really bad economic future, then maybe nothing would bring him around. And when the president went back to Ankara the capital, the sell off in the lyra kept going. Investors holding Turkish stocks, bonds, and currency were like, we want to get off this ride. And emra, our expert who grew up selling jewelry in the Grand Bazaar, says the president was not sad to see them go. Erdoğan had characterized foreign investors as speculators. Outsiders just trying to make some quick lira on Turkish stocks and bonds. To maintain the investors in your economy, you had to add these to a semblance of orthodox monetary policies and provide some certainty. So more and more, foreign investors left turkey because the message to them from anchor was clear. We don't want you here. So what was Erdoğan doing? What was his logic and making these calls? Erdoğan is not an economist, but emre says he does have these very set ideas about how economies function based in part on his early years as an ambitious young leader in Istanbul. Erdoğan has from sort of hard knuckle neighborhood in Istanbul known for its tough guys and all of that. He would go out and talk to his constituents, like small business owners. He has a reputation as someone who would go door to door to mom and pop shops and be very humble and inquire about people's needs and promise solutions and listen to them. Emma says what Erdoğan gathered from these conversations was that high borrowing costs in the form of high interest rates were hard on these mom and pop shops because those small business owners told him they would pass higher expenses onto their customers in the form of higher prices, also known as inflation. So historic follows that if you cut lending costs, then reductions to inflation will follow. I miss there are some other factors at play too. There's an ugly and anti semitic undercurrent in some of the president's rhetoric. Erdoğan talks about something called the interest rate lobby. It's like a vague reference to a shadowy group of financial puppet masters trying to destabilize the Turkish economy. It conjures up this image of a bunch of people and pinstripes sitting in their room, smoking cigars laughing and seeing ha ha ha, look at turkey paying us very high interest rates. There's also a religious component to Erdoğan's stance. He's at about Muslim and Islamic law, according to a widely held interpretation forbids earning money or getting any kind of benefit from a loan, charging interest is considered exploitative. Emra, says he's heard the president will kind of quiz business leaders when he meets with them. Ask them, our interest rates allowed under Islamic law. They tap to answer to that no. And then he would say, well, there you have my answer about why I think we should have zero interest rates. So I think it's a bit of religious belief infused with populism infused with misguided conception of economics. So emra says, that's why Erdoğan is so dead set against raising interest rates. Even though Erdoğan has held these beliefs for a long time, they've only been put to the test recently. Because until recently, interest rates in the major global economies were low, inflation was under control and had been for decades, and Erdoğan presided over a flourishing Turkish economy that brought in foreign money. Construction boomed, luxury condos and skyscrapers went.

"turkey" Discussed on Gun Talk
"So there's no long extended waiting times happening right now. So now's the perfect time to jump over to silence or central dot com to learn more. All right, we're back with Thomas Allen, and we're talking turkey gear. We're talking the stuff that you're gonna make you successful. So we've already kind of gone over calls, which whether it's a pot call, a diaphragm or a box call. A blind, have a blind just on hand. Even if you don't plan on using it, I still would recommend having one in the truck. Because you never know when you will need to run and gun, whether you need to just sit there for a second. And just having a little bit of ability to move around is key and Thomas Allen mentioned the chair, having something comfortable to sit in because it might take longer than you think. Well, especially if you're ag country like where I live, you know, we've talked about land access in a previous part of this show. And you know, I have access to a lot of small properties and that doesn't necessarily allow for me to sit in a certain spot where there's cover and a blind actually, turkeys are if you drive your truck out in the field the night before and don't move it, like they're gonna walk around that. They don't particularly mind something that's not moving or making noise. So it allows you to sit and open country when you may not have the kind of cover necessary. Now, the Deep South, Alabama, Florida, you know, parts of Oklahoma that I've hunted, the run and gun approach is best. And we talk chairs, Kevin, you'll think back to our Oklahoma or sorry, our Iowa hunt. And when we were doing a lot of those run and gun type deer hunts, we took what Jeremy king introduced me to our turkey chairs. And it's basically like your camp chair, the fold out type, but it's really low to the ground. It keeps your butt off the dirt, which is that's a great way to get cold. There's snow. And they pack well, that is a necessary piece of gear for any turkey hunter. I don't care what kind of turkey hunting you're going to do. You will use that and use it often. So cabel is make some primos make some. There's a long list of chairs, but it's a fold out camp style chair that's real small. Yeah. And it makes it easy. You can deploy it quick. Just keeps you off the ground too, just remember to look before you sit. Especially if you're in the south where there might be a snake. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Or if you're in Oklahoma and you find a rattlesnake that or cactus, I've sat on those before too. Oh my gosh, this deer season was tough on me on cactus. I sat in a couple, then I went out coyote hunting, and I sat in some more, so I'm still picking. You told about how you rolled over in this brush pile deer hunting and face to face with a rattlesnake. Yeah, it was terrifying. I still don't think I've recovered from that one. Every time I get in a shinri bush, I'm thinking, there's going to be a rattlesnake in here crawling up. But another piece of gear, I know a lot of guys, you know, they carry a turkey vest, like a turkey vest, which will house your calls and anything you might need. And it'll have a pad on it typically. I've got like a, I was trying to do the math on it 'cause I know Ryan's gonna head on a turkey hunt. He's going down to Florida that lucky, lucky lucky guy. But he was like, I need a turkey vest. I was like, I got one for you, but I was trying to think of it. This vest is probably, now I'm thinking about, I think it's like 23 years old. And it's an old Tom. Yeah. Great job. That's funny. You know, a good vest is important and I think that fits both the run and gun style hunter or the blind hunter. You want to have your stuff centralized and if you are going to sit and wait a turkey out, a vest is going to give you the opportunity to have multiple calls handy. And a lot of times that will change a hunt, just pick up a different call, the birds may respond. If it's windy, a box calls super important for high wind. Or if you have a slate pot style call and aluminum call with like a carbon striker, man, that sucker reaches out for miles, but yes, invest in a good turkey vest, and one of my, this is my mandatory component to turkey vest. If it doesn't have a strap, right across here, I won't buy it because a lot of times you have the straps around your belly, maybe a little lower. When you're crawling on a bird, those straps fall off your shoulder. And that's activating. But if you have the chest strap, it's going to hold them tight and if I'm looking at a vest, that's one of the first things I look for. So I'm telling you, I still run my old vest. And now I used to run a tense pack. Actually, I gave it to you. I think this in my basement. It is. I remember giving it to you. I used to run that because it was super comfortable 'cause you didn't really need a chair to sit back because it has legs that actually kick out. And it was originally loved it. Yeah, it was originally designed for coyote hunters, but I was like, man, this would do really good for turkey hunting. And it did. It works well for that. So, you know, I think I have a decent vest is worth the investment. You kind of got to look around. There's a lot of options out there. And they're getting more and more expensive, what seems to be the norm with everything lately, but yet one that fits, get one that's going to fit your style of hunting and I don't think there's a oh, that little strap. If you're carrying something over your shoulder, it pulls that down like that. I've seen vests that don't have that strap on and I'm like, I don't care how nice it is. I don't care how good the zippers are. It doesn't have that. I don't care how expensive it is. It's not worth it. Because it's going to be a headache later on. And I've dealt with that too. I got to say this. This is gun talk, right? Right. A reliable shotgun, a turkey choke. That's where I was going to go next. And good both. We'll see great minds think alike. I don't give a rip. I have a 30 year old Remington 8 70 that you could drag behind a pickup. You could drop it in the creek and it's going to fire every single time. And I guess in years past Kevin, I kind of thought, you know, I've kind of graduated beyond this thing. I think I want a different gun. And I managed to get a hold of a benelli M two 20 gauge. Well, I don't blame you there. I like it. I feel like I've earned it, but did you know, did you ever hear about the benelli click? Have you ever not shotgun all the way? Well, I did that and I blew it on a gobbler that I called in for two hours. I went to click and I'm like, I don't know what happened. And the bird blew out of there long story. But long story short show. Shot my last three seasons of birds with a 20 gauge. And I think one of the most impressive improvements in turkey hunting today has been the shot. Yes. A 100%. I have used exclusively boss Tom turkey loads with 12 and 20 gauge on the last three years and so Jeremy and I will differ. Jeremy king, you've had him on your show a few times, a game warden from Iowa. He and I will differ on a couple aspects of turkey hunting. And one of which, and I've seen him stick to this. If he can't get a turkey inside of 35 to 40 yards, he won't shoot it. His prerogative. And he's good enough. I could learn a bunch from him, but me, on the other hand, if that bird hit puts total stubborn. Also stubborn. If that bird puts a toe over 50, I'll let him have it. And previously in the 20 gauge platform you weren't able to do that. With the right choke with the right shot, the heavy loads, and I'm sure you could probably name off several brands that have that heavy tungsten bismuth type stuff. It's impressive, but pattern it and make sure that it's shooting where it's supposed to. Yeah, that's the most important thing is patterning. Now, have you been, have you been running a red dot? Lately? The 8 70? No, that's just a straight barrel. But.

One one twenty-five proof one twenty five or below wild turkey specifically does less than that..

"Store boom so russell. Single barrel is the next one we got here. Jake you wanna everyone a little bit of that. One of the big differences. They've something something that we're gonna see here is. The single barrel is a non chill filtered bourbon versus the ten year which is chill filtered. Okay see you're you're going to get different notes. You're going to get you know. I'm a big fan of the non chill filtered. I i think most bourbon aficionados are. You just get a lot more of those oils that carry through things that the con- generators from from the process and whatnot. Yeah i saw just the filtration process differences. Such a such a unique thing leaves different different See this elements urban with the russell single barrel. This is new to me brandon territory. Yeah and it's such a unique difference from the ten year to the to the single barrel. The ten years would just picked up last week so that was my first. I experience the russell's reserve really. Yes this is all new territory so you may. You're going from a batching process to single barrel is. It's such a right situation single barrels but change. This is my first experience. I think the wild turkey. I've never bought a store pick her by any of that. So this is fantastic. Yeah i think so. So you're not gonna vary so. I can't really tell you what you're going to experience because it does vary from lot lot but i i will say for the allocation of this. We are now pushed out to twenty twenty two for these continues to develop douay. Wow so yeah so cova had really has just kind of pushed you out so far but will cove. It's changed the whole dynamic of the liquor. Industry i mean. Sales in general have increased but specifically Store liquor store sales have increased. And then of course on premise. What we call it in. The industry on premise are bar sales. Nevada veasley decrease But overall we're still trending trending upwards. That's i mean and and that's to be expected with covid. I think we talked a little bit about the the hospitality and tourism Last last week or it was the week before. I mean you. You gave so many tours in two thousand nineteen but the tours in two twenty twenty. I mean as they started opening backup. It's just been so negligible and that's really. They're really saddens me. Because that's one of my favorite parts of the seller is is that customer experience of going on tour and i would even loved to give those tours at some point. I you know you've been our visitor centre. It's a beautiful visitor center. We took a picture there and it was just actually yes right there on the wall just like a loved it. I call it bourbon church. Actually fedral feels. Like i mean big wide windows..

"I don't know anything about it to the top of my rows in a heartbeat and the funny thing is about that When we went to wild turkey in january Our tour guide. I don't know how right or wrong years. Maybe you could give me a little bit of insight on this said that you're not going to be seeing a whole lot of wild turkey. One zero one ri- because there they were currently experiencing like a rice shortage or something or something. That was two thousand nine twentieth january twentieth. Yeah yeah there. There was a little bit of a rice shortage during that time period. If i remember correctly and you've got to keep in mind like rye. Rye is grown in america but often. That's not as its european rides. It's from the from germany and regions like that. Is that where you're getting your wrong. We actually source ours from europe. Because america produces decent ride but european rise the contents just. Yeah yeah and that's a good point. You bring up to you because i wanna talk about the corn like wild. Turkey doesn't market this as well as as they probably should but all of our corn is sourced one hundred percent from kentucky. It's non gmo and it's from pretty well local farm and see i wouldn't expect it out of kentucky but maybe like the surrounding area like kentucky indiana missouri illinois but just straight kentucky cornets baghdad kentucky that i was like a like you said like i think that would be a really cool. Get nervous of this out of a bottle. One hundred percent corn from the state of kentucky. Yeah kentucky grown corn so what he pick up on this. You're gonna notice right off. The nose is more frigging day. Yeah and you'll pick that up but it's more of an ester type know that you'd see maybe in like belgian beers use which is the ri- which is interesting that ri- can even express some of those players but and then you'll taste it. It's warmer at spicier. You get a little bit smokiness and that's coming from the ri- as well. Let's see that's what it was those away from ryan's spicy food used to be my forte. That's what will mean jordan used to do we. We had a mall experienced. Dan was there was back with a hot sauce. And ever since then. I have shied away from spicy. So you say ri- drink ri-. May i try not to do a high proof i but that's what always drives me right from ryan just tongue burn. Hiller it's a good ri- i've seen as far as rise. Go this is probably. This is probably my favorite rise for that. I've tried because i'm not. I would has to be mad. Mapra like ninety five then. I've had rare-breed raw to breed rise a beast. I don't think i've ever travelled love really really like this one raw mike. It's a great balance. Gosh and if you're gonna make a cocktail a manhattan. Oh that this is exactly what yes. So what is your favorite while. Everybody's finishing their One on one raw favorite cotton like wild turkey cocktail. What what would you would. You go to I i really do like this lemonade. Cocktail on it..

"Such a fantastic Barrel proof product as well. But i love the masters keep series Each one of those each year is a fantastic rendition of what bourbon should be your hurricane. Be for that matter so main. It's hard to pick one. I know that didn't answer your question. No no you work with all of it. Yeah not just one but you see all of it every day. i can't i can't as a consumer. It's hard for me to pick a favorite listening there. I can't imagine you look at the house and go. I think it depends on my mood too. You know if if the in the wintertime. I'm gonna drink more ryan just because it's warmer sir. But if i if i had my kentucky hub right yup kentucky mineral water so I wanna ones my go-to though. I think it's what made while turkey what it is today. And it's a fantastic expression you can bring it straight on ice or make a damn good cocktail with. Yes and that's what we have a listener. Who is a big while turkey fan. And he one of his goto bourbons bald trek. You wanna one for the exact reason that you just said you can drink it straight on the rocks. Put it in a cocktail. No matter what you're gonna know you're drinking wild turkey one and it's been that way for years you know when we did the top five or five bottles episode wild turkey. One zero one was actually my daily drinker. yes And it's for that exact reason i mean i know we. We had the cheap mixer and everything else in that episode. But i mean if i could put while turkey one three of those categories i would. Yes because any with that i can't help. This is the guy who's like. I plan your game everytime pick five alright blends what other. But but i mean i. It's so true because walter. He wanted great straight. It's great on the rocks. It's great and a cocktail you can. You can put that bourbon through hell and back and it's still going to taste like wild turkey decanters here. That was the candidate in nineteen. Seventy two is when it was distilled and then in nineteen eighty. It was put in a bottle and it is as delicious now as what i would ever have picked it to be in nineteen eighty so just goes to show wild turkey. One one is one of those products that will hold up forever at it stands the test of time and speaking of expressions and bottles and everything. Jake i think you had the perfect segway earlier matt. I do you have anything else. You'd like to add at all. I think we should drink some water one. I think we should. let's go. let's matt was actually nice enough to to bring a few wild turkey expressions for us to try so if you have some wild turkey at home and would like to taste along with us We're just gonna go through a few expressions matt's going to lead us through this tasting and we're we'll go from there so matt. So let's start with laura's yours buddy where to start with. Walter you wanna one so one on as we've talked about you know an american classic and some something in general i want to talk about is what makes wild turkey unique And i think historically it's honestly it's been an underrated bourbon. And i think now it's finally coming into its heyday..

"If you don't mind how did working at saz iraq. And how does that compare to working for kampar and wild turkey. I mean you know. Campari allows wild turkey to do. Their thing is sas- iraq one of those overbearing companies. I mean i know you don't want to bad mouth anyone but at the same time you know what. What was your experience in the two companies. Yeah that's a. That's a great question as well. I mean i mean it. They are very different. Companies for one You know in. General if i had to sum it up Campari is more focused on their where. They're at in the market. The market presence being still kind of in the middle of pricing as but bringing quality products. psoriatic is. They have an interesting business model because they own the bottom shelf of the of any liquor store And they own the very top shelf So it's in and they're using the bottom shelf to feed the money for the top shelf so it's just it's a completely different business model Of course i'm not gonna say anything bad about him because we actually still do business with saz racks so we feel our our fifty. We used as a co packer. Essentially so the fifty male bottles of wild turkey and american. Honey are still filled At saz rak. But it's just a different philosophy. I think what it comes down to size rocks goal is is world domination essentially and that and in that. And that's fine if that's what suci it's just not me. It's not me. I you know my personal philosophy is make a re make fewer products but make them really damn good right. And i that that's what i wanna do now. It was interesting work in glenmore though. Glenmore is an absolute beast. So for those that don't know Glenmore as the second largest spirits bottling plant in the united states and it's located in owensboro. Thirteen high-speed bottling lines there and it says from a quality standpoint just managing the quality just out of that point. That's that scopes insane say. That's kind of a nightmare. It is remember many nights you coming into the story and so how work they will. Let's not talk about let's go. Let's not talk about us talking about work. I'll have a number six and i'll have a double plea exactly. Oh my goodness so jumping into one of the questions. That i kind of. I kind of thought up. What is one myth about your profession. That you know someone like me would have you would like to just totally debunk. And get out of our heads. I think maybe maybe. It's not just you but i think in general people thing what goes on a distillery. They just sat around shoot the shed drank some bourbon. And now i will say that is five percent of our jobs happy. I am happy about friday afternoon. That's right that's right but ninety five percent is some of the stuff we've already talked about it..

"I mean he's so well known worldwide. He could come into a room and just say hey. This is wild turkey bourbon but you know he comes in and he relates to you And that's that's the most amazing part. Because he he's human. He's not this this jaded superstar. That wants you to talk about him. He seems like he's the kind of person that wants to get to know you. He didn't talk about me at all. I mean he didn't talk about himself. And all our phrase that you know he'd he you're exactly right. He asked questions about me. He was like well where you live at now. What are you doing Things like that. How do you get to work every day. D- what roads take. That's that's all that was bad one. This one passes the catholics traffic. This way better view too so you said you worked for campaign. What what's the relationship like between wild turkey and the parent company. Campari i mean there's gotta be something there that that's a great question you know i i. I'm a big supporter in general like local businesses. And things like that so it makes me nervous when when you know any company is owned by this big corporate conglomerate. You know that that can go very bad as far as far as campari goes you know The relationships fantastic them You know camparis. An italian company And they have that global culture with them and it exudes through the company it's a very global centered company in general the mindset You know inclusion is big for them. and representation of quality quality spirit. Brands is a big deal for them. Hence why the wild turkeys the only bourbon..

"Fifty dollars bourbon went too much now. I looked at him. Like that's not bad. It's not bad so campbell. You got one of these. Nice google questions so yeah. So here's one. What is the strongest wild turkey. The strongest wild turkey so that that has to be anything. That's essentially barrel proof So that that gets into your rare-breed your rare-breed ri- strong's and interesting word Does does that mean proof are. Does that mean spiciness 'cause i i would argue that the rare-breed ri- brings brings the most bold of of any flavor that we have so last one. I guess i'll can. I do the honors okay. This one really made me laugh. The other night is wild turkey. Good whiskey damn right. it is and that's all. I need to know all you need to know so i want to keep going because i mean we're we're talking turkey today. I don't wanna get into the gimmicky stuff that we do. It's it's not what we're going to do today So matt what made you wanna get into the bourbon industry itself specifically quality. I mean i know you said you you kind of went came into it via soaps and lubes and other other things you can stick in random offices but what what made you want to go that route. Yeah that's a good question so for me. you know. Distilling has always been an interest. It really anything craft. I've also been a homer for twelve years now. Even though with kids i don't brew as much as i'd like to anymore but Really crafting anything from scratch. Interest me and really being being a chemist as well i i like the breakdown i i like everything that goes into. Making an indistinct is really taking bring to the next level right a lot of distillers will say burs just kind of stop half ass. That's true it is true. You know because to be a good distiller you have to be burr. And then you have to distill it and then you have to mature it and the the all really three separate sciences So i think that's what interested me the most from the quality aspect coming quality in manufacturing. I feel like it's kind of like a disease that you catch that you can't get rid of but You become very hierarchical after certain point which is interesting because the burnout rate in quality is intense. I mean you don't you don't have a good day and quality. It's like working in baggage claim. I mean nobody. Nobody drinks bourbon. And says you know what i'm gonna. I'm gonna write them and say that was just. That was a fantastic bottle. Nobody i'm sure..
