The Breakdown
A highlight from ETH Futures ETFs Get Set to Trade as Government Shut Down Looms
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, N .L .W. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Friday, September 29th, and today we are talking ETF approvals. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us in the Breakers Discord. You can find the link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. All right, friends, lots of action to wrap up your week. We're going to talk a little bit of ETF announcements and then we're going to get into the government shutdown and, of course, give you all of the information that you need. Now we start with the SEC in the world of ETFs. That organization has been busy over the past few days making decisions on a variety of different crypto applications. Now, there are currently three major batches of crypto ETF applications that are being considered. On Thursday, four Spot Bitcoin ETFs were delayed, including the BlackRock application. Two additional Spot Bitcoin ETFs were already delayed on Tuesday. Announcements delaying the rest of the similar applications are expected to follow today and are likely to be published by the time the show is released. The next deadline for the SEC to consider approving Spot Bitcoin ETFs is on January 10th. That's an important one because it's the final deadline for the ARK21 shares application, so it will require an explanation from the SEC rather than just a simple delay. The second batch are the Ethereum Spot ETFs, which were also delayed. On Wednesday, the SEC deferred their decision on products from VanEck and ARK21 shares. The next deadline for regulatory consideration falls on December 26th. The SEC can delay further on these products with the final deadline falling in May. Now, overall, the delay of Spot crypto ETFs has not been particularly surprising. As much as people have wanted the legal decision from the Grayscale suit to force the SEC's hand, that court order is still able to be appealed, and there is nothing really compelling the SEC to move forward with Spot ETFs for the time being. Now, the more interesting developments surround Ethereum futures -based ETFs. Throughout August, at least 24 applications were filed, including some products offering short Ethereum exposure and combined long exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum within a single fund. Throughout the week, there have been rumblings that the SEC was preparing to approve futures -based Ethereum products, asking investment firms to update their documents by Friday afternoon. The rumor was that ETFs could begin trading as soon as Tuesday. On Thursday morning, VanEck debuted two 30 -second advertisements for their Ethereum futures product, which would trade under the ticker eFute. VanEck are going with the tagline Enter the Ether and commenting on the ad, Eric Valkunas, the senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg said, Now, later in the day, VanEck updated their prospectus for the fund. The ETF will only charge 66 basis points in fees. This is below the dominant pro -shares Bitcoin futures ETF, which is ticker symbol BITO, which charges 95 basis points. The lowest fee product seems to be Roundhill at just 19 basis points. Also on Thursday, Valkyrie announced that they would begin buying Ethereum futures on Friday in anticipation of altering the strategy of their existing Bitcoin futures ETF. The fund will now hold half Bitcoin futures and half Ethereum futures. The new strategy will be formally adopted on Monday under the existing ticker symbol BTF. Later yesterday as well, Valkyrie's chief investment officer, Stephen McClurg, said that both VanEck and pro -shares had been given the green light to launch their dedicated Ethereum futures ETFs on Monday. A pro -shares spokesperson said no one is in a position to launch ahead of us but declined to elaborate further on timing. Now, part of the reason that the SEC may be trying to move up all these delays and announcements is the looming threat of a government shutdown. Indeed, a government shutdown is at this point all but certain to begin on Sunday after House Republicans failed to come to a suitable agreement during a tense closed -door meeting on Thursday night. The House passed several versions of an appropriations bill that would authorize government spending on Thursday, but reportedly none have any chance of passing the Senate. The Senate are working on a bipartisan proposal for short -term funding, but this measure is unlikely to be passed by House Republicans. Tensions have flared between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Freedom Caucus member Matt Gaetz, who is playing a major role in pushing the government into a shutdown. The dispute is around demands to slash government spending with a more specific demand that war efforts in Ukraine are defunded. Now, a government shutdown would end all funding of non -essential government programs until an appropriations bill can be passed. The length of a shutdown would be unknown. However, most government agencies are making plans to shutter for multiple weeks if not well into November. The impact of a shutdown will be largely felt by government workers who will not receive paychecks, as well as the recipients of government benefits. Social Security and Medicare continue to operate as usual during a shutdown, but the patchwork of other social programs will be paused. Now, when it comes to the macro environment, one of the other implications is that a shutdown would halt the collection of economic data. The next Fed meeting isn't until the end of October, but if the shutdown stretches out for a substantial period, the Fed could be faced with making a decision without key economic reports gauging inflation, employment, and growth. That would, of course, leave the Fed flying blind as they attempt to bring the economy in for a soft landing.

Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Ether Futures ETFs Emerge as SEC Extends Bitcoin ETF Decision Window
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It's Friday, September 29th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Crypto is Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about inflation, crypto ETFs and more. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice. Just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Bitcoin's price jumped again yesterday, accelerating the upward trend. Since the jump, it has been oscillating around $27 ,000. At 10 a .m. Eastern Time, it was at 26 ,895, up 1 .2 % over the past 24 hours. Ether has been doing even better as the first Ether futures ETF starts trading today. I'll have more on this in a moment. Earlier today, Ether was trading at $1 ,669, up twice as much as Bitcoin, at 2 .4%. The boost to crypto market is most likely partly due to accelerated launch of Ether -linked ETFs. These put a convenient wrapper around Ether exposure for retail and institutional investors. It also coincides with a drop in U .S. yields, which suggests that macro considerations are still very relevant. Let's dive into these for a moment. The U .S. 10 -year Treasury yield reached a multi -year peak yesterday of almost 4 .7%, its highest since 2007. We also saw the German bond benchmark yield reach its highest since 2011. The U .K. 10 -year gilts hit levels last seen a year ago during the country's bond crisis. And even Japan's 20 -year government bond yield rose to its highest level since 2014. In the latter half of the U .S. trading day yesterday, however, sentiment seemed to turn. Bond prices started to recover, bringing yields down. This coincided with yesterday's jump in the Bitcoin and Ether prices I mentioned above. Yields in Europe today continued the trend. And then early this morning, we got good news on the inflation front. The U .S. Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, known as the PCE, came in slightly better than expected. This is significant, as the PCE is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge as it measures goods and services bought by all U .S. households and nonprofits. The CPI, in contrast, only measures purchases by urban households. The Core PCE Index, which strips out energy and food, grew by 3 .9 % year -on -year in August. This is still above the Fed's target 2%, but it is lower than July's 4 .3 % year -on -year growth. So far, this has been achieved without a strong spike in unemployment. The downward direction of core PCE growth suggests that the Fed might be able to avoid another rate hike this year. It's too soon to tell, obviously, and the tea leaves are going to get more complicated to read given the government shut down that, barring a last -minute save, starts tomorrow. Next Friday would have given us the latest official employment data, a key factor in the Fed's thinking and in investors trying to with a private sector proxy out on Wednesday. This is useful, but the two data points are not always correlated. Moving over to stock markets, on the back of this good news, U .S. stocks seem to be determined to claw back some of their September losses before the month ends. Yesterday, the S &P 500 was up almost 0 .6%, and so far today is continuing its upward trend another 0 .6%. The Nasdaq, which in theory is even more sensitive to interest rate expectations, is up double that. The more industrial Dow Jones is up only 0 .2%. This is starting to look like a risk -on rally. However, today is the last trading day of the quarter for traditional markets, so there could be some repositioning as well as options expiry manoeuvring going on. Europe also got some good news this morning on the inflation front. The Eurozone CPI came in better than expected, with a 4 .3 % year -on -year increase for September. This is its lowest level in two years and is notably down from August's 5 .2 % increase. Stripping out energy and food, the Core Index grew by 4 .5%, down from 5 .3 % in August. Good news there. This has been Boosting Equities. Earlier this morning, the German DAX was up over 1 .1%. A similar story is playing out in Japan, where the Tokyo Core CPI index increased by 2 .5 % year -on -year in September, lower than expected, and lower than August's 2 .8%. A sell -off in the country's bonds continued, however, and the government resorted to unscheduled bond buying overnight to support the market. The intervention was small and could just make traders even more nervous. The Nikkei stock index was down slightly on the day. In commodities, the oil price is retreating from yesterday's highs in response to the respite in bond yields. The Brent crude benchmark is down over 0 .6%, trading at $93 .5 per barrel. Gold was also weaker today as markets adopted a more risk -on mood. Earlier it was trading at $1 ,860 per ounce, down 0 .25%. Over the past month, gold is down just over 4%. Stay tuned, after the break we'll take a look at more moves on the ETF front.

Next Friday would have given us the latest official employment data, a key factor in the Fed's thinking and in investors trying to with a private sector proxy out on Wednesday. This is useful, but the two data points are not always correlated. Moving over to stock markets, on the back of this good news, U .S. stocks seem to be determined to claw back some of their September losses before the month ends. Yesterday, the S &P 500 was up almost 0 .6%, and so far today is continuing its upward trend another 0 .6%. The Nasdaq, which in theory is even more sensitive to interest rate expectations, is up double that. The more industrial Dow Jones is up only 0 .2%. This is starting to look like a risk -on rally. However, today is the last trading day of the quarter for traditional markets, so there could be some repositioning as well as options expiry manoeuvring going on. Europe also got some good news this morning on the inflation front. The Eurozone CPI came in better than expected, with a 4 .3 % year -on -year increase for September. This is its lowest level in two years and is notably down from August's 5 .2 % increase. Stripping out energy and food, the Core Index grew by 4 .5%, down from 5 .3 % in August. Good news there. This has been Boosting Equities. Earlier this morning, the German DAX was up over 1 .1%. A similar story is playing out in Japan, where the Tokyo Core CPI index increased by 2 .5 % year -on -year in September, lower than expected, and lower than August's 2 .8%. A sell -off in the country's bonds continued, however, and the government resorted to unscheduled bond buying overnight to support the market. The intervention was small and could just make traders even more nervous. The Nikkei stock index was down slightly on the day. In commodities, the oil price is retreating from yesterday's highs in response to the respite in bond yields. The Brent crude benchmark is down over 0 .6%, trading at $93 .5 per barrel. Gold was also weaker today as markets adopted a more risk -on mood. Earlier it was trading at $1 ,860 per ounce, down 0 .25%. Over the past month, gold is down just over 4%. Stay tuned, after the break we'll take a look at more moves on the ETF front.

Learn more at meta .com slash metaverse impact. Despite all these losses this month, I'll mention is if we see that reset, because there's been a lot of talk about how valuations have come down those multiples, if you will here, but they still are sort of camped out above those historical averages. And of course, right now, a lot of the key technical indicators are in play as well here. Let's walk through the numbers here. We have a lot to parse here. The Dow Jones Industrial Average down on the day here by roughly about half a percent as we wait for these numbers to settle. That's going to give it a loss on the month of about three and a half percent and a loss in the quarter of about 2 .6 percent. The S &P 500 down 11 points on the day or three tenths of a percent, nursing a five percent loss on the month and four percent for the quarter. The NASDAQ composite actually holding into the green here on this Friday afternoon, only about a tenth of a percent here. But that's not good enough to raise some of the losses that it had earlier. Six percent down on the month for September, four percent for the quarter. And the Russell 2000 also going to close out on a down note. A half a percent on the day, Carol, and six percent on both the month and the quarter. All right. A great check right on the month, on the quarter in terms of where we're ending up. I am pulling up the S &P 500 and taking a look at the individual names for the third quarter. And it is at the top of the list, largely, Katie, those energy names, Marathon Petroleum up almost actually about 30 percent in the third quarter. But there's a lot of energy names. At the top of the pack, you're looking at names like Dollar General, Insulate Corporation, Solar Edge. They are some of your laggards for the third quarter. Well, to your point on energy, it had a great quarter, but it had a terrible Friday today. Energy, that industry group off by nearly two percent. And of course, that has been the outperformer of the week of the past three months. Not so high.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1272. BlackRock CEO Hints at DeFi & Bull-Run! | FULL BREAKDOWN
"All right, so let's drill down into Larry Fink's brain today. We're going to do this. He did a big interview at a Bloomberg event, and it breaks down a lot of not only his ideas of where the markets is going, but also some of the technologies within crypto that are going to affect all of this. I'll break it down for you guys today. My name is Paul Bearer. Welcome back into Tech Path. All right, let's get into our first clip. And this first clip is breaking down interest rates over the next few years, what it looks like from the man himself. Larry Fink, listen it. You have Jamie Dimon, for example, saying rates in the U .S. could go to 7%, and we're not ready for it. Is he right? Look, we all have opinions. I mean, I've been saying for over a year - I want to know your opinion. My opinion is we're going to have 10 -year rates at least at 5 % or higher. All right, so you heard it, higher, longer 10 -year rates holding on to that, but yet still very optimistic in terms of the overall position, so a little bit more hopeful. Rick Ryder, who is one of the key investment guys there at BlackRock, who manages like almost $3 trillion in assets, he also came in on this clip. Listen in to what he had to say. So I think there's a couple of things that are going to happen. I think when the Fed starts, and I think they'll start cutting rates in the second half of the year. I don't think they're in any rush that they need to do it. Second half of this year? Second half next year. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you for that clarification. I would have been buying stocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so he's looking toward the third quarter next year. We talked about that before, is that that most likely will be the case with this higher for longer approach that goes into this. Now, the key here is, is what is causing this? Now, what are we seeing this in terms of the market disarray, the pushback, the consumer spending that's been holding inflation high? They get into it a little bit here around wages being too high. Listen in. The whole idea about restricting immigration. And in the United States, we've had close to a trillion dollars of fiscal stimulus just beginning its J curve. These are huge job creators and at the same time we have restricted immigration and as a result of it, you know, we see more wage pressure. So at what cost? We have in the United States, a very protracted strike between the auto workers and the auto companies. It has been reported that the union is asking for a 40 % increase. So at what cost? What do you do with a problem like that? Right now, I think in our mega trends, right now we are under invested in China. Under invested in China. That's interesting. OK, so a couple of points here to make and also to kind of references the framework of why these strikes are occurring, especially with the United Auto Workers strike. You look at it and it really boils down to corporate greed. I mean, at the essence, you've got all these car companies who have been feasting on American consumers for quite some time, for the last couple of years. Here's Stellantis as an example all the way back to 2016 when they were kind of flat and then right there 2018 blows up. Obviously, we saw the impact on the markets and then just this continued climb of Stellantis stock price. Now, part of that has been just because obviously car sales have continued. So his point of that wages are too high, that this is causing a lot of disarray within the market, there's an alternative to that as well. Let's go to this next clip, because Biden, actually, it's an article here, Biden actually responded to a little bit of this issue around the UAW. Remember, he's very pro -union, but his statement was he asked if he supported the 40 percent increase on the union and asked for it. He said, hey, listen, it's it's really more of a bargaining chip, really, than anything. And I would agree, you know, because it's kind of you ask for the highest amount you can and then you settle in with where it may end up. And I think that's what Stellantis is going to end up doing here as we go further. Remember, the key here with think is if you are very pro and I'm pro capitalist guys, don't get me wrong, but if you're a super capitalist, meaning you are absolutely just wanting to run amok within corporate greed, then you do want a lot of immigrants coming into the country and you want these kinds of mainly from just an optics standpoint, because it does start to put pressure on American workers. And I think that's the thing that everybody is looking at is how do we keep job wages low? And when I say everyone, meaning these capitalists that are really pushing at this. So this gets into some pretty big issues right here, even though he's asking for more immigration. I want to play this next clip to show you just kind of where immigration currently is. Let's listen in. In just one week, they came by the thousands, group after group after group of migrants streaming into Eagle Pass, Texas, prompting the border town to declare a state of emergency and straining the nation's immigration system. Again, the Border Patrol encountered a record two point two million people crossing the border illegally. The numbers went down a bit in the fiscal year ending this month, but are still high. Anybody that thinks this is a secure border is delusional. And this is something you see every day. All right. So as you can see there, does it look like we're restricting immigration at all? I think his point is really, really more toward the whole idea of, you know, higher wages being pressured, getting into that side of it. All right. So let's get into this next clip that talks about the recession and whether or not it's going to be bad, good, all that good stuff. Listen to what he had to say. Does that mean we are headed for a recession right now? I think we're going to see some economies enter recessions early. Which ones would that be? Well, I think Europe is more sensitive to the ones that are more sensitive to this elevated interest rates. Whatever the recessions we're going to have, they're going to be quite modest. So I'm not even that fearful. In many areas, you may need a recession to bring down labor demand. All right, so again, back to the point he's talking about, that's profitability and a lot of companies, once you bring down labor demand, that's one of the biggest issues there. He also gets into the point of what could be the catalyst to cause longer, a longer recession play into this. Here's what he had to say. So throughout history of U .S. growth slowdowns, we have underestimated every single one of them. Are you confident we're not making that same mistake again? If fear becomes worse, then consumers pull back and the recessions are going to become more protracted. We have elections in so many places in the world. We are going to have many political candidates who are going to provide a lot of fear. I think the political winner is the one who provides the most hope for the future or what people believe with the hope of the future. Do you see that, though? Do you see anyone projecting hope? I dearly hope so. I'm projecting hope. Larry for president? I don't know. No, I'm too young. I love that. All right, so I want to get into an area around reimagining bank lending, and this is where it starts to get into crypto or at least the underlying efforts of what he's thinking about crypto, because this is going to be kind of that format of how crypto will start to integrate into the banking system. Let's know what he had to say. We need to reimagine finance because of Dodd -Frank in the United States. Banks can't lend. And more of that, you know, the world doesn't want to get to the developing countries. They lend well, but clearly. All right, so obviously that's where, you know, stablecoins, DeFi, this starts to solve all those problems that we're going to be looking at around tokenized assets. I want to go to a clip here from Bankless asking really what's holding this back. Listen in to what they had to say in this interview. What you're buying today when you buy a stablecoin on the back end, it's cash and cash equivalents. That's an accounting term to say treasuries, repos and some cash in banks. The thing that is not like flowing through is the yield component. So you're getting a zero percent yield on your stablecoins today. So I started looking at someone has to have built something that solves this problem and no one had. The big challenge here is how do you bridge these two worlds, giving clarity on the real world asset side? So someone has to hold a treasury, a treasury bill, and that person was buying those treasury bills. At small scale, you can buy, but if you're starting to buy anything at meaningful scale, you have to show where the money came from and that where the money came from, the compliance AMLKYC component was hard to do. So we said, OK, if we want to offer this, you have to be regulated to do this at scale. And that is the biggest challenge that everyone in this industry faces is how do you answer that regulatory or legal structure in question? It sounds like what you're trying to build is the largest pipe possible between the government, United States government, risk free rate and DeFi. And right now you're saying that this pipe is actually constrained by our current stablecoin paradigm, the current meta of stablecoins, because you go through it vanilla dollars first when really you can just go more, let's get right to the punchline of this whole thing, which is like, let's take the yield of the risk free rate and get it into DeFi.
Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1271. Government Shutdown Countdown | Crypto Market Crash Incoming?
"All right, so we have to talk about the government shutdown looming in the wings right now, 48 hours and counting, what this might have in terms of impact on the market. Also just a little bit of framework to get you guys kind of into it, but really the outlook of what this might do to investing and just in general, the tech markets, crypto, all that good stuff. We're going to break it down for you. My name is Paul Baron. Welcome back into Tech Path. All right. So let's go to this first clip. This, of course, is Matt Gaetz and McCarthy kind of going at it to the frame of what is happening from a shutdown stance because this is really boiling down to a negotiation between the Dems and the Republicans. And also, I think in general, a certain faction of the Republicans. But let's go to this first clip and play this out for you guys listening and is looking more likely as the clock runs out on Capitol Hill. No foreign enemy has ever been able to shut down the government of the United States, but now mega Republicans are about to do just that. The Senate striking a bipartisan compromise deal to fund the government through November 17th, but Speaker Kevin McCarthy giving it no hope in the House. Will I accept and surrender to what Senate decides? The answer is no. The issue, according to McCarthy, is the Democratic led Senate left out additional border funding. McCarthy has another hurdle, five hardline House conservatives that critics have dubbed the Chaos Caucus. I've got members who will not vote to have a stopgap manager to continue to fund government. I've got members who say they'll never vote for a nominee. Well, if you won't do any of that, it's hard to govern. We spoke with the group's de facto leader, Florida Representative Matt Gaetz. Where America's lawmakers gather and take one up or down vote on funding the entire government, that is crazy. Do you worry that voters will blame Republicans for any negative effects of a shutdown? People hundreds of thousands of people having to work without pay? It's a great question. And honestly, that fear of shutdown politics is what has led us to sit atop a 33 trillion dollar debt. Well, I certainly hope we can get this resolved before anyone misses a paycheck. That's my goal. I am not a cheerleader for a shutdown. Gaetz sending a letter to the House's chief administrative officer requesting his pay be withheld. All right, so I'm going to pause it there, but as you can see, there's a little bit of a rub here. Obviously, this has a little bit of history under it as well as why the shutdowns are occurring. And mostly it's funding of certain certain areas of the government that are at odds with each other. We'll get into some of that here in a second. This, of course, is President Biden comes in and says this May McCarthy and I reached the deal. This is the deal that Gaetz is talking about. Let me zoom in on that tweet right there. Deal that would fund the essential priorities and cut the deficit over one trillion. Now there's a group of extreme House Republicans rather shut it down than live up to the deal because there was a deal in place. There are some things within that deal that has caused this. But really what this boils down to is what kind of impact is going to have on the markets and where does that play? Here was the Kobe Easey letter coming in. U .S. government now 48 hours a week, comes with three months less, the largest debt ceiling crisis since 2011.

Crypto Banter
A highlight from Experts FLIP BULLISH on Bitcoin [Why?]
"In the beginning of September, when everyone said that this market was going to end September in the red, because that's what history had showed us, I turned around and said, no, this market's actually going to end in the green. And the reason why I said that was because too many people were believing that the market would follow the previous pattern. So let's take some stock of where we're at. Right now, as we stand, the market is 4 .34 % up in September. Today is the second last day of September. There's one more day for this market to stay above where it is today to actually remain in the green. And the good news is that if the market remains green in September, and we work on previous pre -harving years where the market was green in September, so we go back to 2015, we can see that the rest of the year was absolutely unbelievable. So I guess that's what today's going to be about. Today's going to be about whether the rest of the year is going to be bullish or bearish, and how you should be preparing your portfolios for the rest of the year, given the fact that in one day, we may actually get a government shutdown. So remember, today's Friday. It's a big banter. I've got amazing, amazing, amazing guests here. I've got Hasib. I've got Malcolm. I've got my good friend, Eli. I can't wait to hear what they've said. These are some of the smartest minds in the industry. Let's get the show on the road, guys. We've got a lot of things to do today.
Telecom Reseller
A highlight from World Data Products Int. (WDPI) achieves ITAD certification, Podcast
"This is Doug Green, and I'm the publisher of Telecom Reseller, and this is a special podcast for the ASCDI, and I'm very pleased to have with us today Neil Vild of WDPI. Neil, thank you for joining us today. Thanks, Doug. Great to be with you. Well, it's really wonderful to be able to do this podcast on behalf of the ASCDI. You're a very long -term, very active member of this association, a very prominent person and company within this industry and within this organization, so it's really a pleasure to have you here today. We're going to be talking about your recent certification, or really certifications, with ITAD and how that changes the game and why that's important to ASCDI members, to the community and to many technology companies, enterprise companies that might be just happy to be listening or watching. So we're going to dive into that in a second, but Neil, first of all, what is WDPI? So WDPI stands for World Data Products Incorporated. We've been in business since 1987 in the Minneapolis suburbs, currently in Plymouth, Minnesota. We started off as an independent hardware reseller, selling brands originally manufactured by companies such as Cisco, HP, Dell, and IBM. We're also an authorized reseller of Dell. Along the way, over those last number of years, we developed an internal repair business, which we can offer to clients as well, where we repair all of those items I mentioned that we can go down to the board level, repair power supplies, other devices such as laptops and Chromebooks. And then about 10 years ago, we acquired a company in the certified tape media business that basically goes out and acquires used tape media, those cartridges that everybody remembers, and we bring those back to our facility, fully eradicate the data and resell them. And that's the business that really got us into ITAT services about 10 years ago. That company, and we still do that, has a team of people that goes onsite and does IT hardware decommissioning, onsite audits, data sanitization, secure transport, and a host of other ITAT related services. So in fact, you guys had really been sort of in the ITAT market already, and this sort of solidifies that position. It does. And we decided to pursue these certifications for a number of reasons. One, our customers started to ask for them, both on the end user side and the wholesale side. We deal direct with end users, we also go through other resellers, and we work with other ITATs as a subcontractor. And as a number of them have been paying more attention to data security and the environment, they've been asking us about these certifications. So one of the reasons we pursued these was to really be responsive to our customer requests. Another is we view it as a differentiator. Those are really confirmation of the standards that we have. Not everybody has that certification out there. More people are getting it, which is great for business and for the environment. And thirdly, it really helped us improve our processes in certain areas and kind of raised the bar. So it was a win -win among all three of those elements. Let's dive a little deeper into ITAT. So first of all, can you explain to me what ITAT is? What does that mean? ITAT, IT Asset Disposition. It's a whole host of offerings and processes where, you know, starting if a company is looking to, you know, upgrade or refresh its data center or close something down, it needs to really find a responsible home for the used equipment, whether that's in a resale environment or in a recycling environment. Part of that involves onsite services, such as I mentioned, you know, data center decommissioning, data sanitization, whether that's onsite or at our site, the commitment to either resell these devices, which could be economically beneficial to the seller and to the purchaser, also making sure that the data is fully eradicated. But then in some cases, the data bearing devices have to be destroyed either logically or physically. And that leads us into working with responsible recyclers who can track these devices, provide certificates that they've been disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. So it's a whole host of services and processes. We don't have the time to go through that. That'd be a several day podcast, Doug, but I know we're a little bit time constrained today. Well, you know, as you can see behind me, it looks like beams of light are coming off my head, I think, but I'm actually reporting live from Las Vegas at the Mobile World Congress. Lots of carriers here, lots of enterprises, lots of interests. You know, this is a good example for this question. Why does it matter to the outside world? Why does ITAD matter to really everybody? Well, it matters, it's the biggest issue is really sustainability and protecting the environment. But there are also other elements within these certifications that are more internally oriented for the welfare of businesses and our employees. You know, if you go down the list, the R2 -V3 is really a phenomenal standard. You know, really stands for responsible recycling and reuse. Some really strict requirements on data sanitization and eradication and data security, which is a real differentiator. Part of these certifications involve several ISO standards, ISO 9001, which is a quality management standard, your world data had been ISO 9001 certified for about the last 10 years. So we renewed that one. ISO 14001 is environmental management. ISO 45001 is employee health and safety. And we're very proud of world data. We've been have a track record of over three years of accident free operation in our facility in Plymouth. And we intend to keep that going, God willing. And then the ASCDI ITED certified certification is also very important where, you know, in addition to the processes and the operational aspects that those other standards focus on, ASCDI adds to it the commitment to a code of ethics, which is unique in the industry. And every ASCDI member has to adhere to that. You know, we have stringent membership requirements for that association. And so as a long time member, as our company, a long time board member and former chairman of ASCDI, I am very proud to see our association going in that direction as well. So, you know, Neil, it sounds like this is also a great opportunity for the channels to go out there and sell a really amazing value added service. It is, Doug, you know, it helps the channel in a number of ways. One, you know, given and also end users in terms of the resale value that we can achieve for the equipment that is, you know, coming through the ITED process, you know, the highest and best use of a piece of equipment is to keep it in use. And, you know, the origin of our business was hardware resale. So our wholesalers or equipment traders know how to maximize the value of that equipment for the client, whether that's an end user client or a wholesaler or another ITED who has the end user relationship. So that is a huge advantage, I think, that World Data can deliver, given our history of being in that resale market. We're not just turning it around and flipping it on eBay or somewhere else. We can really maximize value. So, you know, Neil, it also sounds like, you know, channels should be really alert to this because if you're working with customers and you're in the course of sales and working with them, you're pulling out equipment, you are really not doing them a service if you're disposing of it incorrectly. That's correct. And so by virtue of the processes we've always had, plus now with the new certifications, you know, we're disposing of everything appropriately. You know, items that can be reused will be reused and resold at the maximum value we can get. Items that are no longer suitable for reuse will be recycled in a proper manner. And so, you know, channel partners can trust us as they've trusted us with, you know, other areas of business since 1987 to do the right thing and to uphold, you know, the environmentally sound and business sound practices. Another advantage we can offer is additional resources and feed on the street. You know, some of these ITAT opportunities are, you know, to use a technical term, lumpy. You know, they're not necessarily regular. And if a project comes up where a channel partner needs additional resources, whether that's feed on the street or processing capability, warehousing or logistics, we can offer that through our facility in Plymouth, Minnesota, from a facilities perspective. But we can also send our team, you know, anywhere in the country to help with onsite projects. You know, Neil, with regard to the end users of the enterprises, we're living at a time of great transition, hybrid companies getting rid of whole floors of office space and all the equipment on those floors. Sounds like enterprises need to be alert to this too. They do. And hopefully, you know, with the movement toward ESG and environments, you know, social aspects, governance, I think more enterprises are becoming aware of this. In fact, they're adopting goals along these lines. So we're here to help in terms of achieving those particular goals. And again, it's the right thing for the business. There are certain business objectives that can be met and environmental objectives that can be met. Does – you said when we were preparing for a podcast today that it even has some opportunities for the other ITAT companies. The benefit we could offer to other ITAT companies is, as a subcontractor, we can facilitate your broader reach, the processing capability that we have, the resale capability that we have to maximize value, relationships we have with responsible recycling partners, and also logistics. We have a facility in the upper Midwest that is very convenient to several major cities, can help reduce costs of transportation for this equipment. You know, we can't – if we can ship it via ground versus air, for example, or the closer it is, we can go pick it up with our own people on secure trucks and that sort of things. We can help reduce costs and increase their reach and provide a better service to the end -user enterprise customers that the other ITATs have. So Neil, you were telling me something very interesting that is unique about WTPI amongst the companies in the ASCDI, maybe in the – really most of the ICAT industry as well. Well, we were fortunate, Doug, to actually buy back the company from a private equity investor about 18 months ago. And now we are 100 % owned by nine employees and we're not an ESOP. You know, these ESOPs have different kinds of restrictions. But I think it's unique in our industry that we're a fully employee -owned company of that nature. You know, many times it's founders, founder and spouse, sort of an inner circle of owners. And I'm really proud that we've been able to offer this common equity ownership to a broader range of employees. And it is unique, I believe, in our industry. And certainly our people are very revved up about that. And I'm very happy to see that. Well, Neil, you know, we've talked in our conversation today about enterprises, about channels, about different types of companies. How does everyone do business? How can we learn more about your company and these services? Well, we have our website, which has extensive content on that and contact information. Feel free to email me, neil .ville at wdpi .com. That might be on the screen later, maybe not. But I'm in the ASCDI directory. I'm on LinkedIn. We have a great team of people, too, who I could direct anybody to for particular, more detailed advice on resale, valuation of products and that sort of thing. But certainly please contact us in whatever is easiest method for you out there. And we'd be happy to help. Well, Neil, I really want to thank you for joining me today. This has been really interesting. I hope you get to do one in a few more months and find out how everything's going. Update us on what you guys are doing. But for now, thanks very much. Thank you, Doug. Look forward to that. Appreciate the time. Thanks very much.

The trial for former FTX CEO Sam Bankman -Fried starts next Tuesday, October 3rd. There's been a lot happening pre -trial. For instance, Sam has requested release from jail multiple times and repeatedly been denied, including as recently as Thursday morning. My personal thought was that it seemed like all these requests that the defense was putting in at this critical juncture right before the trial was supposed to begin was maybe not the best use of their time, but that's just my personal opinion. I'm not a lawyer. Why do you think they made this such a point of focus in the last few days? Yeah. So I'm actually coming, you know, I was in the courthouse just a few hours ago where this very issue was brought up and the, you know, defense's arguments were, well, the first time we asked it was for pre -trial release. You know, this was right after Bankman -Fried was remanded into custody in mid -August. The second time was, you know, they were asking an appeals court to overrule the judge's decision to remand him and they lost that as well. In court today, the defense said, well, you know, now we want to ask for during trial, which is why we waited until this week to make that request. And they say that they want to, you know, the circumstances are different. They're not asking for Bankman -Fried to be released from jail in the weeks leading up to trial. Now they're saying, well, you know, during the trial, we're going to have to talk to him and check with him about defense witness testimony and cross -examination and things like that. So that's why we're making this request. And the judge didn't really find that compelling. And why do you think the judge has stuck to this position of keeping Bankman -Fried in jail? So in the judge's words, there's a couple of different reasons. One being that Bankman -Fried has had ample time to look at the defense materials. You know, one of the arguments was there are something like 1300 exhibits expected over the course of the trial. And the judge asked today, you know, were these all prepared and shared with you before, I think he said September 8th, so earlier this month. And the defense, they said, yes, we've seen all of this. We've had access to all of this. Bankman -Fried was out on bail for about seven and a half months. And so the judge's argument is, well, he's had time to look at this. You know, there's no surprises here. And he said that the defense has the chance to talk with Bankman -Fried in the Metropolitan Detention Center where he's currently being housed weekends during days that there are no trials. So, you know, the trial is not every weekday. It's going to be most weekdays. And he said, you know, you have the time, you have the opportunity, you are able to talk to your client. You're not really losing a whole lot. But he added kind of a, you know, made this ruling where Bankman -Fried will even be presented to the courthouse early on trial days where there's certain witness testimony that has to be discussed and let the attorneys just talk to him before the trial begins on those days. So he's saying basically, you know, you have opportunities to talk to your client and I'm going to give you more time to do so, but I'm not going to let Bankman -Fried out of jail. So the main focus next week as the trial begins will be jury selection. Tell us what you think that process will be like. It definitely will be interesting. I think it's probably going to be very boring from just kind of an observer perspective because it's a long process and we're going to be just sitting there watching this judge ask each individual, have you heard of FTX? Have you heard of Bankman -Fried? What do you think about cryptocurrencies? But it's going to be very interesting because this is the part where we're really going to get a sense of, okay, you know, these are the 12 or so people who are going to determine whether or not Bankman -Fried spends the next, you know, 10 to 20 years of his life behind bars and so I'm expecting to see maybe as mixed selection. I think if you pluck a random group of New Yorkers off the streets, some of them may have heard of cryptocurrency. Most of them probably will not have and they're going to be tasked with deciding whether or not one of the biggest figures in crypto committed fraud on the way up and on the way down. Something that was interesting to me was the prosecution said that they expected jury selection to take the better part of a day. I've seen some legal opinions that it will take longer than that. What do you think could potentially happen there and why do you think some analysts are saying that it would take longer? Yeah, no, I've spoken to a number of lawyers as well ahead of the trial, you know, where at Coindes we're trying to do a lot of kind of preview coverage, basically saying here's how it might go down. Everyone I spoke to said it will probably take a couple days. Part of that is because this is a fairly notorious case. A lot of people will have heard about Bankman -Fried and presumably formed some kind of opinion that would, you know, disqualify them from being a juror on the trial. I'm not sure where the DOJ is getting their estimate from. It's very possible that, you know, through the questionnaires that the jury pool is sent through the, you know, the kind of the mass selection process or deselection process that the judge engages in. Maybe that streamlines a big part of it by kind of, you know, reducing or like immediately filtering out the people who are most blatantly, you know, either knowledgeable or biased or otherwise have their own preformed viewpoints about the case. And so the jury selection might just be focused on, you know, those individuals who have made it through those initial filtering processes. But that's speculation on my part. I honestly am not sure if it is a better part of the day that we could see opening statements as soon as next Wednesday, October 4th, which would be a pretty rapid start to the trial. And Coindesk did some work to try to suss out what it is that Lower Manhattan New Yorkers might say if they were randomly picked for a jury. What did you discover there? Yeah, no. So Coindesk's Dylan and Victor went to Manhattan, downtown Manhattan to the financial district, and literally just went up to people and said, hey, we're with Coindesk. Have you heard of FTX? Have you heard of Sam Bankman Fried? And a fairly large part of this group just hadn't heard about it. You know, they weren't familiar with it. They weren't comfortable talking about crypto. They weren't familiar with crypto. And of those who were, you know, I think they found a fairly even mix. There were some individuals who had heard about Bankman Fried, some individuals who had only heard about crypto, some individuals who were very knowledgeable. They actually found a, you know, a Yahoo anchor who was the most knowledgeable about it, naturally, as you know, a reporter covering the financial space. But they also found people who were looking for jobs in crypto, people who were investors in the space. By and large, it seems to, you know, a lot of the people they spoke to just weren't interested or talking, interested in talking about crypto or in, you know, being part of this, being part of crypto. So if that is a representative sample of who we'll see next week at the jury pool, it'll be interesting because we'll see a large, potentially large, jury pool of people who aren't familiar with crypto. Again, on one of the biggest, you know, bang in on one of the biggest figures in the space. Recently, the defense proposed certain questions that it would ask the jurors and the government said that they felt these were quote unquote intrusive. What were some of the questions that were proposed and what was the government's response? Yeah. So, you know, the background here is both the DOJ and the defense team filed their proposed jury questions to help filter potential jurors. The defense team in particular had a number of questions about, you know, how these potential jurors felt about things like effective altruism, about political donations, about ADHD and people who have ADHD. And the DOJ response was really, you know, they felt that some of these questions, for example, about effective altruism and about political donations seemed kind of primed to or designed to prime the potential jurors to think, oh, well, Bankman Fried was trying to do all of this in service of this effective altruism philosophy. Therefore, he was trying to raise money to donate to better the world or designed to try and prime the jury to think, okay, well, you know, political donations is fine. So these allegations about breaking the law in the way he tried to donate funds maybe is, you know, overreach or whatever. And then the intrusive part, you know, treating just kind of this question of ADHD and whether or not people were, you know, involved with individuals who had it or the DOJ just felt that these questions were really designed to try and shape how the jury would see Bankman Fried as opposed to just kind of gauge their existing biases. And so the DOJ opposed these questions. And I think we're still waiting to see for sure if there's any public response on the judge prior to jury selection on Tuesday. All right.

And so now people are thinking, now people are thinking with these things like extraterrestrial and if they were, why are we shooting these things down? That seems kind of provocative. No. Then he finally came out and said, no, no, no, no. They're not, they're not UFOs. They know exactly where they are. Like, honest to God. They know exactly what they are. It's just their spies. Absolutely. Think about this though. What if they float that balloon over? Now it's obviously steerable. It's what they said. They could navigate this thing. What if that had some sort of electronic device that wiped out the electrical system in a heartland of America? What if they did something like that? I mean, you had a cyberattack. What if they're lining up to do that? Right. What does test run? See what happens? Yeah. Test run. How do they react? They let us float it across the whole damn country. Look at that. Look at that. There we go. That was easy. Next time. Keep setting them. And of course, China goes, it was an accident that flew off course. If it was an accident and flew off course China, you know what you should be doing is calling us and saying, hey, look, this balloon is going in the wrong direction. Heads up. Our bad. How do you want to handle this? And then the Biden administration comes out and says, hey, we had a conversation with the Chinese. They had a weather balloon. It's going off course. We don't want anybody to free. Full and fair disclosure, right? You get it all out there. Bullshit. They had no idea what was going on. Total income. And then they let the thing fly across the country. And now we know there's more of it. Think about this. We had a cyberattack on, I don't know if it was continental resources. One of the major pipeline oil pipeline companies. And it crippled the mid Atlantic states. I mean, there was a gas shortages. That was somebody the underwear, Lithuania somewhere, hacking a system, right? What if they did something like that? And they wiped out the electrical grid in a huge chunk of the country, you would cripple this country in a millisecond, right? We just had a country that economically paralyzed, paralyzed the world. That's what they did. The result of negative GDP, the result of people starving from COVID. That was batched up and manufactured in a Wuhan lab, shaken up, and then spread across the world.

But oil is natural to the ocean. You can go down a thousand feet in the oil and there's oil spilling out. In fact, there is this what do we call it? Amoeba or whatever, that eats the oil.

By the way, that just concocted the COVID thing. They could just pop that balloon and release some sort of crazy virus across the states. Why would you allow that to float across this country? And they just did that. They literally just did that. They just did that. They just did. They let it out in the lab. They said, you know what? No Chinese people are allowed to leave Wuhan unless you want to fly to the United States of America. So to say that these people aren't crazy enough to do this, it's beyond stupid. Well, they figured it out. Like, oh man, maybe instead of infecting our people and then studying it over, we'll just turn it over to balloon. Now you find out this morning, by the way, you find out this morning that the U.S. Military actually tracked that balloon from the shores of China. Right, now they're telling us they couldn't shoot it down across the country because it might have fallen on somebody. Meanwhile, Montana, Montana, which has a population of 6, right?

I think Montana actually is the least populated state of the country, right? But even still, you had the entire Pacific Ocean to shoot it down over. What were you thinking? Incompetence. You know what you're thinking? Do you think you got a general milley? Who's working for the Chinese Communist Party, right? You got a general milley who literally said if Trump does something, I'll let the Chinese know first. He should have been court martialed right there and then. And he should have been hung. If he was found guilty, of course he's innocent, so perfect guilty. Bullshit. These people are these people are what is it? Vinyl chloride. Vinyl. There's something even worse now than that. There's something worse they found this morning. It's even worse than vinyl chloride, whatever that sounds horrible, but anyway. There's other stuff I came from. Craziness. Just craziness.

In your 24, peak physical condition could run circle around me right now. How did doctor describe what happened to you? That's how I'm going to stay away from. Stay away from. That's the weirdest person. What did he think he was coming in for? What? What interview did you think you were coming in for? Did you think that Michael Strahan was going to talk to you about the defensive setup of the Buffalo Bills? Probably. You've never been invited to an interview like that. But probably though, again, sometimes you get these interviews like, don't worry, he's not going to ask about that. This is a second string player. He was in there because other people were hurt. They don't give a shit about his defensive makeup. Clearly he's going in there to talk about what happened to him on that Monday night, right? Right. So to go in there, I don't know. Who paint you off? That's just the weirdest everything is so like you can't talk about it. Tell you about what happened to you. I'd rather not go into that. Why? Because think about this. Another lady was just out, right? Had heart issues. Find out why or can I just caused by a cold? Remember that? We just talked about that. Are you serious? Caused by cold. How many people do you know? Over the years. Athletes do you know that went in to have a cold and came out with heart problems? And such a hide up. And this is, I mean, how to me it's disgusting. The listen to him just sort of deny this question. Answer the damn question. Don't go on if you want to play that game and just stay away from all interviews.

"Like I really like the books of Sarah McLean, for example, she only writes heterosexual romance, but she has great ensembles. She has great queer background characters and supporting characters. And I think in her case, that is not coming from, I must appeal to a fan base as I'm acknowledging the diversity that exists in the world. And I think that is the best platform to come from. So I'm not sure if I've ever answered that in the way that you wanted, but I think it's something that because I exist so heavily within that space. I can't think about it as an outsider, I think about it. There are no right or wrong ways to answer. I'm just scattered, I haven't managed to think of a way to really shoehorn Yuri on ice references in here. So I was thinking that. The new Star Trek either. Yeah, no, I'm just really struggling to make the Yuri on ice connection. So instead I'm just going to say, so Yuri on ice huh? Okay, let's talk about that. Look, I am always down to talk about Yuri on ice. No excuses, no segues needed. Right, right? Yeah, so listeners, if you're interested, one of the things that I love about just following fire on social media is also because she's a figure skater and has a figure skater and also fantasy sci-fi genre nerd. It's just nice to see someone else out there who has my weird hobby as well. And so then I'm just like, well, we must talk about Yuri on ice because ice kidding and clear romance. And wonderful anime and all the wonderful things. So yeah, that's all I really have to say other than wonderful. Yeah. I have never read a historical sports romance, but there is something so compelling about sports romances. And obviously we're coming from the background of knowing something about figure skating and being our sport, but I think it really said something that it became this immensely popular anime story of the sports anime is a very strong genre and anime has managed to get me to watch things that I would never have watched for like I watched three seasons of haikyu despite knowing and caring nothing about volleyball when I started. And there's something about the sports situation that just is so good for driving a romance because you can have rivalries which are rife with intense emotion and you know I have to know everything about this person I have to know what they do so that I can pit myself against them and they take up so much space in your brain. I think a rivalry is a really great background for a romance and then in Yuri you're nice you have this semi rivalry that's got this big helping of idle worship that means you can start a romance where people go into it with preconceptions about who someone is because part of being a sports celebrity means you have this public persona. And one of the things I like about that kind of romance is that the story of the romance is the story of somebody being vulnerable and showing somebody who they are behind the public persona. And Yuri and I as a robots has just so many tropes just thrown in by the handful. You've got the hero worship to finding out who your idol actually is. You have an element of unreliable narration because Yuri is a very unreliable narrator and his head for most of the anime. You have the element of rivalry. You have the shared passion. The shared passion for something.

"And hadn't come out earlier, I probably wouldn't have written my stuff, but at the time it wasn't out. That was initially it was just detective work. How did we get from 1905 to 1931? And also like, you know, did I find the one example of a disabled guy losing his job or rhythm more? And so for a long time, I just was digging to see what, in fact, happened. And then as I got to writing, that was the dissertation, it was just kind of institutional detective story. And then with the writing the book, you know, I got to the end of the dissertation, and I was like, there aren't really any people in here. There's some stuff on economists and markets and insurance and policy, but I'm the first person in my family to go to college. My family, my extended family, are all in construction. A lot of people in so high injury kind of jobs. And every member of my family growing up had been hurt and work like my mom got hurt at UPS. And I would kind of like hit me, and I was like, you know, that wasn't why I wrote this stuff. But it was like, oh, you know, none of the humanity is in here. So then when I was really writing the book, the move from dissertation in the book was like interpretive and being like, you know, this should make us uneasy. This should not be a palatable thing to sit with. And the dissertation, I think, was I think it was good, but it was much more palatable over read, I think, in the dissertation and the book was kind of like, you know, reading about someone who loses their fingers should be really unsettling. And then I was also teaching in this legal studies department and trying to think in thinking a lot about what the law does. And the law represents these injuries in ways that are kind of boring, actually. And the idea that people suffer these terrible tragedies and then that's depicted in a boring way. I think is notable. So talk more about that. You know, I think you're right. It is represented in this, as you put a boring way, but the fact that it's in this boring way, right? That does work in its own right for in many cases the companies, right? So how are these things represented? Why is it boring and why does that matter? Yeah, that's a great point. So this is something that I would like. So this is, I'm an empiricist. There's a lot of theory theory in the book of one, but I really am going to prepare a system. So I can't prove the reception. But, you know, people get hurt and it shows up in dollar amounts. People get people die and it's a cost. And so what businesses get are the decision makers and businesses, what they get are dollar amounts and liabilities. And there's this sort of framing of you don't want to pay extra money, do you? And someone who's next to the in the labor process, someone sees their coworker get hurt. Or a foreman or supervisor sees the person right under them get hurt. They have all these experiences, but those experiences are not institutionally relevant. They fall out of the decision making process. So the fact that the coworkers and foreman are traumatized, like nobody's happy about that, but businesses are not making choices about like, hey, let's avoid the experience of trauma. Let's have that horrible experience for the family. Let's steer by that. They steer by dollar amounts and numbers..

Like i was working for park Day obviously had a restaurant and kind of got to see some of the a little bit of doubt behind the scenes though. I never knew it was going to be difficult. I actually when we got into it. This is what i bugged for. But i asked a couple of people around that were in the industry. Kinda like it kinda help. I didn't really have aspirations. I wanted to open up a club. Some on one side got got got muscle situated. But the opportunity was too too hard to pasa- resolves like shit. I'm going to think about restaurant but my like say my partners in new york We're gonna open up a restaurant in delaware. It can't be down once we did. I was like you're like oh you got a restaurant before me out. No i like. But i thought like the hard part was taking over and in china retain some of the people that was our own but or changing. Because we knew it. Because i think. I didn't think we was not at the retooling kind of rehire. Everybody because they had a show had bartenders. Everything china in place where he took over the idea was everybody was going to stay but then the pandemic kind of way too long people had other things that they had to do. This is understandable So ended up avenue by. I think june add. Start interviewing watson at chef Eric jackson lee came kinda fell him hockey one of my employees up and down so me about him told him i told him. Come in He told me what he can do. Show me some of the stuff that you can do. He showed fire his or her instagram. As i do. Let's do a tasting so once we did the tasting.

Everybody's so with that alone is so you can improvise oregon gotta move on on on a fly. So that was. That was a key that was number. One thing that i looked at then i had a bunch of my close friends. Neurons close friends. Come in to kind of do the tasting like yo. When he had his food. It was like the officiant. Let's see ya yes we don't talk about. It was debt la and so during the so mind. You only started doing the carry outs for like the first couple of months. When we've over back up so just so happen digs you. Went to bar was an open gays so we didn't have no bartender. Anything we weren't doing drinks anything And then digs came in to pick up a guei order just so happy. He's like yo aren't you to own of an offshoot. I'm a member. We talking is actually bought into okay. Cool w. handlebars and let me see what you can do. Kinda did it off the flop. He's like way back. The did up drinks me ryan within their right where he came in to pick up his food. Food sat down. He's waiting for his food. He saw me with up and down hat. Oh you look familiar. Oh yeah. I'm actually the owner now. He's like oh. I kind of a day next. You know like we got talking. Ibadan are really. Are you a bartender. You mix like manhattan. Make anything i told you. Do not even know what he's doing but he does he like it's just that hot like about that was that was the thing is i was like i jump back there. Let's see was going what you can do. We had a couple of bottles age of side together. Like like we know what that is. But that's good as hell. I won't take all but then like you have one or two dying. But ronnie case she was with me. The last time i was there she was like. Yeah this is it. I'm ready for brunch. Asthma mayor happened to explain to his girl because he came home with a cold but baby split them right right so it cool. 'cause like that's how i kind of kind of brought people on and the thing is like these guys are not necessarily rough a rough day. They're trying to learn the business. Learn the entrepreneurial side and my thing is like me being in a position. I mean right now. I want to give back by so y'all how to do this position. Put to get into second position catching to me the biggest flex for me. I don't care about making all this money on care about doing this. Other opening on these bizet's. I care about what i'm doing to help younger guys coming up. Got chieveley like Cook he was opening a restaurant sooner or later. Where you gotta learn what. I'm doing right now. So you can understand the biggest flex again to me is instead of making like all great making all this money and great but the flex for me is how many other millionaires i make ya on that. That came up. yeah I could care. Less about oughta money is great. Don't get me wrong fact. Got a nice. 'cause got nice place. that nature but at the same time like Giving back to even with like.

"Don't a listen. I work word. Got out the guy when actually is how difficult is it a little back so why that question so i sam out of la for awhile right. And while i was out there a childhood friend of mine. I learned opened up one. Now he was a music industry for a while and He kind of broke the way early when when it started when he first got legalize but he went out early. Like two thousand seven two thousand eight and and he had built his relationships up and he's already like an finance out of this team of business and then he got his partners together. And then i'll la was doing like. Are you familiar. They'd be doing like seminars. Nine is show you how to get in growth so he broke in the industry on the business very very early in a game i'll l. a. And at the scene in the see how he was able to transform his life. Ma male or a number homeboy child. From which is his best friend moved out day he they would live in a best life. I started looking into it by the time i started looking into. I was obviously stupid late to the party. Like the closed priority county honestly considered going out of kelly kind of get more gates with a mobile the actual brick and mortar brick and mortar side. But i was like at that point. I was like why go out there. When hooper saturate saturated. Like crazy out there so i was like why not beat it. Be the cookies over the east coast. Facto be the jungle boys of the east coast. And how hard was it. How hard was it to break the reason. Why accidents right so on netflix On youtube you can watch his show. On narrow site is called netflix's the joke. The host of that is a hassan manashe min hodge and he had a joint called. He did a video like eleven months ago. It's called the legal marijuana industry. Is it rigging your pain. I honestly think well if you have the right people involved with on your team. Yeah i don't think it's rigged so like it is rigged to a certain extent because like for instance Our speaker maryland at first when maryland for us open up their legal dispensaries and legalize marijuana maryland. A lot of people would apply photo the applications and things of that nature for the licensing. Yeah i would say about. I think out of the twenty one. Only one was a minority. Yeah and that was the reason why they had to go back to reissue. Licensing to more minorities so is it's hard to break into the business as far as getting into this misery but the thing was in dc. They weren't offering any dispensers licenses. So what i did was i sort is what they call the. I seventy one complying law where. We're not allowed to sell marijuana. Gosh lsu dispensary. Gotcha so intern. We give your Times a lot of people. Just come in. This is this is support by a t shirt hat. Whatever sticker a whenever may just just a support the business so at that point we just give so. That's how we broke into the business because we found a loophole. Okay so everybody a lot like a lot of people say oh woe is more competition out there. I'm like i welcome at any day. It's just gonna make the industry stronger but the same time you've got to do it the right way. Is it hard. Because you're going that route. Do you run into problems because you definitely have to source you still have the source about at the same time like we try to source from here by its local. Growers are local growers but The only issue with that is that. I'm not knocking. The grows over here. They need a they need is 'cause they all indoor indoor some of some of them are outdoor but it saints. I'm like a lot of. It is what it would've early down to is that kelly's the game if you're going to try to compete with them. When likes really be on that type of level. You really have to go out there to get the the growers or get the professionals that know what they're doing to come over here to either at teach people here more you the partner with somebody. From out there you see a lot of these cultivations or dispensaries partnering with earner year correct. Correct a lot of them because they have the knowledge to be able to grow. Probably because we've had complaints from clients where they've gone to this. Misery gone to the maryland was receiving the ones in dc. You're getting product that is not that great l. They're wasting a lot of money. Corralling them and spending real money light. 'cause like the dispensary is like grand. Don't like our prices are very competitive. dispensaries but at the same time The differences is that the dispensaries are very their quality control. Quality control is decorate yet but like a lot of the clients. That i see you on my mind fleecy. They complained because it got one. You've got to pay for a license to go incident as every year. Got to renew it every year. So that's anywhere between two two hundred dollars every year just to go into a store like why they needed to be honest. That's that's a regulation that's a regulation so the federal government honestly to me just needs to like bake recreational all the way possible. I'm so happy because these are like a lot of people get switzer. Where like marijuana's a recreational drug. No is that it is. It is medicine so some people are people. I dated just before recreational actual purposes. But some people is kind of funny because some people smoke by any. We realized they have a mental mental mental it brings them down resumed down it just calms him calms it. Nerves like it kind of goes into the incident that realm of mental health. Yes how does this help is helping a lot of people because think about it. You got people I got i suffer anxiety. I you can't sleep a nakata's no no no just can't sleep. I can't sleep this insomniacs so the ghost in the room. My my my girl actually witness. I went to a family family. Member's house we would. Travel is the. I didn't wanna smoke weed years in light.

I think Anthony hopkins says even had to release a statement apologizing to the family of chadwick. Well has been for winning an award. He what he did was. I am assured this was at the behest of his publicist. He gave a like an award. Like i guess it's an award speech. He he recorded one from his house and released it this morning and maids special care to mention the family of chadwick boseman and like shout. Shout out his career and the tragic loss but you have to. You know that the like his age his people probably like got together.

I mean if not from cova from life jamie noticed for the first time ever not the first time ever but she noticed that an animator had passed away. I was like oh no. That's going to start happening more and more because animation so huge now like they're going to be really like big animators passing away in spades. Pretty soon i mean that's absolutely going to be true a lot of faces that we see watching through old disney imagineering documentaries unfortunately Will be passing. Well you know what no one does anymore and is totally within their rights to do and maybe would have been a stronger move politically for anthony. Hopkins is refusing an oscar. I know in history only like three people or five people have done it. But like i think that if you were anthony hopkins if you refused the oscar and put out a statement saying that you truly genuinely believe the chadwick boseman deserved that would have been the better move. Has anthony hopkins has had arguably the most lauded career in acting Maybe in history or at least as far as living actors go pull the marlon brando. Refused the oskar because of lake. Native american rights like refuse it. Who cares it would it yet. You know he probably didn't think anything of even being nominated because again he's been nominated like six times one one time years ago decades ago also. We can't stress this enough. He's like ninety like he doesn't care that much about two things but it you know if he had the forethought maybe he could have said like like if i win refused the i'm not going to be there but You know fears..

"Supposed to be going back to how what happened at the capitol viewed and. How will our grandchildren. When they're studying it an have to do a report on it and they have to ask someone who was there or at least their time time. Yeah how do you reflect back on yourself and how if you sanjay. You were shocked. Reading about this in the history books will be like reading about. How did the germans not know this was going to happen. and it. It'll be frankly. It's embarrassing for you. To not know this was going to happen interested in thought to though. So let's say you're interviewing someone who was alive in germany during that time and you're the child in the interview what your questions might be. What did you do that too. I know i felt what you were thinking. And because i'm so articulate. Came out of my mouth are so well spoken. Well thank ya just so you know. There are actually a number of movies specifically about the people who were germans who fought on the side of the hitler youth and sort of the coming to terms that had to happen between both sides after the war occurred. Because it's not like all of the germans who fought in world war two can suddenly easily convert back to. Oh wait yeah. Nazis or wrong but given that it was mostly the entire population of germany. And they were trying to rebuild. It's kind of an interesting dichotomy when you look at the films that have been made on that topic and it's something that keeps coming to my head lately thinking about. How do we rebuild as a nation. I have several thoughts about that. Yeah thank you for asking so step number one was gonna okay. But speaking of germany i was on a virtual tour of germany and one. I noticed about that the tour out with civic toward that i was on. I don't remember the name of the tour everywhere. You turn pretty much end. Maybe just the area. But there were monuments reputational monuments like this is a this is a lake upon full of the tears of the people in the that we murdered this is the wall that represents tau we kept people from going over to safety like he was recognition everywhere of the past. And it. i'm not on your. I've never been to. Germany am not having spoken to anyone. From germany's i don't know the actual perspective. But what i saw was that there was a lot of except i accept my shame. I'm going to do better. That is what we are missing. Here i am a huge advocate of human beings. But i think four black people. Well this goes back to january six uttering to that wasn't that's not all white people all like that and the other thing that was happening for white people and then her for black people on the other side saying don't do that. Don't do that if you're white and your implicit or you don't do anything. Okay i get that too. But then we now apply a label onto people and the people are throwing out things like spicy white or off white. And i'm gonna say this but we don't build up from there and i. I understand the hates anger from black people. But i also know nothing grows from hates. So if you're tell everybody to shut up. I don't wanna hear you to say is what is different than you asking white people to accept the fact that the history has happened. Everything that you are in this country is because of black indigenous indigenous. People have died everything. This country was one hundred brown. One hundred percent whole continent was full of brown people. Now it's mostly white. If you can't see that that what i came here my ancestors came here and everything that i am even. If you're poor and living in shanty somewhere in america everything you are is because black people indigenous people have died. I think until that acknowledgement takes place. And it's not like you know you don't have to shameful because your answer. I never only sleaze. That's you're not listening and you're not learning everything you are standing in front of me. Right now is because of what happened. To black and indigenous people. The read in your. I'm not responsible. My family just came over in the forties while. Why did you want to come here. This country is because of black indigenous people. It is so we're talking about how we change. How do we heal. Yes the monuments in germany were nice. We're not even close with monuments. Here would i have those conversations because quite frankly there's little humility on little with little knowledge because we're also indoctrinated by american history but at this point there's so little humility the people cannot accept the fact that may be black people are right maybe history is rights and i need to look around and see what my life is because of black indigenous people. So that's step number. One acknowledgement recognition number. Two was reparations. I don't think we could get anywhere until their reparations and preparations are completely possible. People have done the math year after year after year. You either killed off. Ninety nine percents of native americans and then saying you can't give them anything. Native americans still living reservations in houses that are falling down around them. That's not okay. No that's not okay and you not you white people sitting in your living any kind of life where you're not living that life that's sinful. The other part of needs to happen is the constitution needs to be changed. The constitution needs to be changed some waiting for that to happen in that constitution change representing the recognition taking out the the biblical rhetoric. That told everyone that this is the promised land. That was just waiting for them right because there was people living here. So let's take that language in that mentality out and then let's monica's answer breakdown. Monica emission reparations and change the constitution areas. Really right now.

I think the overwhelming feeling that i had was sadness because to watch those people that committed insurrection. Right now i'm not saying. Those people say people who committed the insurrection and to see people who are so. And i'm saying this based on the random interviews at happened by offering reporters on social media Journalists to be so uninformed uneducated and so angry and so hurt and not even knowing how to resolve that and so the resorting to violence. I mean it made me sad to see people who were so desperate and so dumb and this was even before we saw footage of what happened inside I didn't maybe you all saw that.

Exactly how you feel and way to make everybody's point four them very take video are saying that and yarded on social media. I'm kind of jumping around here. No it's okay. It's okay but you're jumping around because it's it's hard to process this in one linear fashion and it's wrong to call them all rednecks and to dismiss them as being. Oh they're the uneducated poor people. Some of them do know very well. Oh and a lot of them are actually have money. They're educated with money and a lot of military training sometimes elite military training. Yeah it's not really an easy situation to parse because it does seem like there is a very specific manipulation of image that is happening on january six to have the capital attack the way that it played out and to have what looks like collusion from the capitol police in a lot of ways and to have the differential of who seemed to be in that crowd where you have people who are very tactical and then you have people who seem like quote unquote true believers. We saw trying to climb. That wall wasn't working out for a lot of them. Yeah they were at but then you have the guys with with the headsets who clearly knew what they were doing. You know talking about it on that day and even moving forward and even why. I hesitated here. It's so hard to label went into that. Yeah it's so hard to label them because you don't want to say okay. We'll white people no it wasn't that rednecks plenty of rednecks at home or in rednecks. Anybody knows the history of the word is i. Compliment wouldn't call them that white supremacist. Then that kinda let off the hook all the other people who were white Go you know. So it's really hard to label you shouldn't be labeling anyone especially when you know that day anti-american rhetoric right. These are yeah so anti-american do stuff like that. It's like god you know so real. It is so complicated complicated emotions complicated vocabulary right to explain what happened that day. So we'll be really interesting to see how i guess from whose perspective is going to be explained. Yeah it would be a different perspective if it had worked for them aweso me. Why are so many. I don't know if it's so many maybe it is used say that uae are so many republicans against an impeachment trial. I think it's because even if they were not involved and they know it was bad they were complicit or they know they know how many of their colleagues it'll bring down and that will destroy party and goodness knows. Party is more important than country but even more important than party is money. Yeah you know you can trace the money find out where all these answers are By throwing wanna do this. Why don't wanna do that because people are making billions. It's all about the corporations that own the politics. You've heard yeah. I was first learning about standing rock back in but every year. That was and i was like. Why is it so important. Why can't go around the land. The people fighting for their land. And i was like oh. People have stocks in whether or not. They're going to be able to go this way. It go this way he we're gonna take their money out of stocks. Where's the money. That's all not to make a huge station. But it's capitalism it is we are democrats. republicans are just the tool of capitalism. Imperial capitalism is what i've heard labeled makes the most sense to me with the most money. Make the most rules. And that's just the way it is. I keep going back to. There's a a latin phrase for who's good more the.
