A highlight from Lexy Boudreau | EFM jobs in PEPFAR, USAID and OIG
"This is Lauren with the Available Worldwide Podcast, and I'm here today with a friend who I met at post, I think my second post, I don't know what it was for her, so I'll have to ask, but I'm here with Lexi Boudreau, who has had, you know, a classic EFM career with a little bit of work with several different agencies and businesses and self and family and all sorts of things pasted together. Lexi, we usually start with a few questions, kind of to get to know you a little bit, so I'm going to ask you, where are you currently located and who do you live with? So, we just PCS'd, or I just PCS'd back to the US with my oldest son who just graduated from college and my youngest son who is going to start his junior year for the first time going to school in the US as a junior, and my husband is starting in Pakistan, so this is my first unaccompanied tour. So, everybody's got new things going for them this year? Every single one of us. I have four children and we're all doing something new. My daughter is a freshman in college and my son is a senior in college, so all six of us have something exciting going on. So, I know that we live together in South Korea. What other countries have you lived in? So, that was our third post. Our first post was, I always say it was our hardest, our hardship post was Bermuda. It was very fun but a little challenging living on a very tiny island, but it was great and our kids were the youngest and then we were in Ukraine and then we were in South Korea and then we were in Uganda and most recently we were in Jordan. With all those different countries, you must have some ultimate comfort foods. Are they country specific or is it a memory from home? My comfort food is crab cakes, which is a traditional comfort food, but that's my favorite food from growing up and it's what I miss most when I'm overseas because not it's something you normally get. So, it's honestly the first thing I try to find when I'm back in the U .S. Are you from Maryland? Sort of. I grew up in South Carolina and Maryland, but Maryland is where my heart is, yeah. Okay. I mean, I feel like crab cakes are pretty regional, though they are also one of my mom's favorite foods. Yeah, it's a Maryland thing. Yeah. So, I have a kind of complicated growing up.
Crypto Altruism Podcast
A highlight from Episode 117 - Gitcoin Grants 18 Special!
"Welcome to the Crypto Altruism Podcast, the podcast dedicated to elevating the stories of those using Web3 for good. I'm your host Drew Simon from CryptoAltruism .org. Now before we get started, a quick disclaimer. While we may discuss specific Web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice and please make sure to do your own research on investment opportunities or any opportunity, including its legality. And now, let's get on to the show. Welcome, welcome to episode 117 of the Crypto Altruism Podcast. We have a special one in store for you today because it is Gitcoin season. It is the 18th Gitcoin Granting Round which is unbelievable, so in this episode we are going to focus exclusively on Gitcoin and the current Granting Round. It will be a Gitcoin variety show in a sense, so I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed producing it. We're going to start off with a short overview of Gitcoin for those who aren't as familiar with it as well as an accessible introduction to quadratic funding, the super innovative matching funds mechanism behind Gitcoin grants. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds. We're then going to highlight 10 incredible projects in this round with short clips from a member of their teams, introducing their project and the inspiration behind it. For more information on each of the projects, definitely make sure to check out the show notes for links to their grants. I've personally supported each of these projects with a small donation and certainly encourage you to do the same. And I of course have to take a quick moment to shill our project as well, because that's what Gitcoin season is all about. For our project, which is in the Web3 Communion Education Round, we have an ambitious plan to grow crypto altruism into an important tool for onboarding nonprofits and changemakers to Web3, and we need your help. We are developing a Web3 changemaker toolkit that will give nonprofits everything they need to leverage Web3 tools, whether it's accepting crypto donations, engaging in an NFT fundraising campaign, tracking impact with blockchain, or developing a DAO to grow their movement at the grassroots level. We'll also be publishing a special 10 -part podcast series, with the first episode coming out only a couple days after this episode. In this podcast series, we'll focus on case studies of nonprofits who have successfully used Web3 to advance their mission. I won't go into all the details right now, but make sure to check out our show notes for a link to the full proposal. We'd be honored to earn your support. Anyways, let's jump right into the episode. For those who don't know, Gitcoin Grants is an incredible platform that allows individuals to propose Web3 public goods projects for funding, and allows community members to donate to projects they care about. But what is truly amazing about Gitcoin Grants is that it uses a cool matching mechanism called quadratic funding, which means that projects with the most widespread community support get the most matching funds as opposed to a straight dollar for dollar amount. In essence, by making a small donation, you're placing a vote for the projects that you feel deserve the most matching funds. To explain it a bit better than I am, I can't think of anyone better than Connor O 'Day, Grant Ops at Gitcoin. So I'm going to share a short clip from episode 94, where we had the pleasure of chatting with Connor and learning about quadratic funding. Quadratic funding is a way for individuals to express their interests and allocate funding within their communities in a more democratic and pluralistic way, which amplifies donations made by a large community rather than which essentially weights donations from a large amount of people over a small group with, you know, that were wealthier can make big donations. Right. I guess the way we like to phrase it is quadratic funding is a mathematically optimal way to fund public goods in a democratic community to kind of take a step back. The way it works is we'll raise a matching pool of funds and then run these donation rounds for a fixed time period where anyone can donate to a project they want to support and that donation hurts matching. But the signal from 100 people donating one dollar to a certain project is much stronger than the signal of, you know, one or two or three people donating like a thousand dollars. So it sort of weights the community preferences of the majority higher than, you know, the preferences of like the most wealthy. A big thank you to Connor for that excellent explanation. Now that we've got a bit of an understanding of the Gitcoin Grants process and quadratic funding, let's dive into some of the incredible projects participating in this round. To kick things off, we're going to start with Solar Foundation, whose mission is to accelerate access to off -grid solar energy for underserved communities in emerging markets. To introduce her project, we have a short clip from Colleen Chase, who is actually an OG in the Gitcoin community as well. Take it away, Colleen. Hi, I'm Colleen Chase, co -founder of the Solar Foundation. Did you know that according to the IEA, over 600 million people in Africa lack access to electricity? Imagine a world where everyone has access to clean, renewable power, especially those in traditionally underserved climate vulnerable communities in Africa. That's the mission of the Solar Foundation, to harness the power of the sun plus the power of blockchain to accelerate access to off -grid solar power and work towards achieving SDG number seven, universal and clean energy access by 2030. At the Solar Foundation, we believe that decentralized clean energy is a public good. Through our work in Uganda, Nigeria, and Puerto Rico, we've seen how off -grid solar solutions have a profound impact on people's quality of life. Are you looking for meaningful climate action you can take today? Help us fund access to more solar energy. Donate to the Solar Foundation's grant in the GG18 Climate Solutions Round. Thank you to Crypto Altruism for featuring our project, and please check out our partners too, Iowaca Uganda and Helpers Social Development Foundation. Together, we can bring light, power, and climate resilience to those who need it most. Wow, what an incredible project. Next up, I'm excited to introduce a project that has a very important mission of increasing indigenous people's agency within Web3, and that project is Micellia.
Elevation with Steven Furtick
A highlight from The God Of A Way
"Hey, this is Steven Furtick. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. Let's praise the name of Jesus together. Come on. Lift up every voice to the great I am. If you know God is great and greatly to be praised, come on, lift your voice right now. That's it. That's it. A great God deserves a great praise. Let's give him a great praise. That's an okay praise, but he's not an okay God. Let's give a great God a great praise. Open your mouth and give him praise. If he walks you through, give him praise. If he's been good to you, give him praise. If he kept you, if he blessed you, if he led you, if he fed you, if he's been by your side, give him a great praise. A great I am. Let's lift up one more shout. Come on, corporately. Let's lift up one more shout. For the King is among us. It is such a powerful thing to call him the Great I Am. It means there is nothing you need in your life right now that he cannot provide. Nothing. We have come together today to worship his great name all over the world. We're joining now as a global church family. Let's welcome our eFam all over the world right now. Where are you joining from? Put it in the chat and let me know. Turn to your neighbor and tell them where you came from today to come to church. Do that in the room too. Tell them, I drove four miles. This gas is expensive. I'm checking on YouTube. Y 'all stay standing. God is going to speak a word to us today. Do you believe that? Do you believe it? This is fun to do every once in a while just to put it in perspective. I just told them in the chat, let us know where you're joining from. If you don't believe this is a global ministry, listen to some of this. South Africa? West Virginia? Well, those are different. Don't you feel sorry for me I have to preach a message that applies to South Africa and West Virginia? Thank God that the Word of God can travel through time zones, accents, backgrounds. All right. Slow down. Slow down. Slow down. How do you make it stop? I can't stop it. I'm trying to put my thumb on it. It won't stop. God is unstoppable. Phoenix, Arizona. Alabama. Dubai. Buffalo. Brazil? Did you say Brazil or Rock Hill? Welcome, Brazil. I was watching some UFC this morning getting ready for church. I recorded it so I could get a good night's sleep, then I played it so the Lord would fire me up to fight his battles when I was praying this morning. It was a good one too. Barbados, Uganda. If you would have told me… I'm just trying to put this in context. Just 20 years ago, one day you'll be preaching, and you'll be standing a few miles from your home looking in the camera, touching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. I would have said, no way, but God, who is amazing and incredible and superfluous. You know how we call people extra, but we mean it like we're kind of putting them down. We're like, man, she's kind of extra. God is extra in a good way. He does exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all we can ask or imagine, and he has made a way for me. In fact, that's what I want to preach to you about today. I'm going to go to Isaiah 43, 16 through 19. Holly was trying to do a spoiler, but I wouldn't let her. She said, are you giving us another installment in this series, this God of series? We talked about how God is the Great I Am. We spend the rest of our lives filling in the blank, because when God told Moses his name, he said, My name is Yahweh, which is I Am. That's what the name means.
America First with Sebastian Gorka Podcast
Victor Davis Hanson on the Significance of Trump's Arraignment
"Victor Davis Hanson, welcome back to America first. Thank you. I'm just going to allow you free reign. I want to discuss this amazing article about the new American Revolution or the jacobin revolution later on with our discussion. But the events of Tuesday and after this is just part of a fact pattern we've seen from impeachment one impeachment to crossfire hurricane, the radon Mar-a-Lago, the Mueller probe. This is just another instance. However, it is historic insignificance given the fact that it's never happened again. Just how significant is it historically professor? Well, we've never had it, and it comes in a long line as you detail and unfortunately, it's not the end. It's not an end of itself. It's the beginning because there's going to be further efforts to do what mister Bragg is doing in Georgia and the special counsel. But historically, it kind of says to us Americans that we don't have we've lost the moral right to lecture Asia or Africa or Latin America about their inefficiencies and insecurities and anti democratic failings. And so I don't know, I don't think a present today can give a lecture to an even Nicaragua or Venezuela or Uganda and say, you know what? Democracy is the only path for your future given what we're doing. We're destroying it before our eyes. The other thing is that there's a lot of dimensions, one is this lawfare, the weaponization of politics, and by that I mean they're interfering in the electoral process of the opposition party. And I think everybody understands that mister Bragg is not acting alone, but he's acting with consultation with his advisers, many of whom are pretty hard loud.
Made For This with Jennie Allen
"uganda" Discussed on Made For This with Jennie Allen
"Greetings to you from Uganda. I'm currently standing in nagara slum. They're very community that I grew up as a child, very, very desperate for hope. It was in this community that compassion intervened and rescued me from tremendous hunger that my family was dealing with. I am very, very honored to join this call that's talking about the global food crisis that's affecting thousands and millions of people, particularly in Uganda, so many vulnerable people, especially children and mothers are being affected. Remembering the hunger that I went through as a child, seeing the kind of hunger that many children are facing right now, it affects me in a particular way. That's why I'm very honored to come to you and just share what's currently happening in Uganda. Three perfect stones have come together and have just led us into where we are right now. The global food crisis. The first storm was the COVID pandemic. When the COVID pandemic came through our government overspend, it just did whatever it could to keep people alive. And having utilized almost all its budget, the president recently came up and said, look, I can see the starving of the people, but we are out of budget to intervene. And so a lot of people who lost their jobs, people who lost their small businesses. Their sources of income are still in that place. While we thought things could not get any worse, a conflict erupted that has now affected us as a nation, and especially the vulnerable within our nation. Between Russian and Ukraine, this conflict has affected the supply of fertilizer, the supply of food, the supply of wheat, the supply of oil, the supply of many, many things. The prices of things have gone up. People are struggling. People scrambling. People don't know what to do. And guess what? In the midst of all of this, the people that are affected the most are children. But there's another storm that came through and that is climate. The massive dry wave that came from Kenya. Swept through eastern Uganda across the center and now it's also affecting western Uganda. Families are starving. When I went to eastern Uganda, I visited the lady called Jane. When I visited Jane jenn said, look, I have never slept in my garden before. But now I am forced to. Because I planted cassava and that's the single crop that has weathered this massive dry spell. And in order to keep people away, I have to stay in my garden with machetes. And when I go back into the house when I need to rest, then my son has to come out and stay in the garden. When you see a situation like this, you realize that within this, the people who are voiceless, it's the children who are not hearing, we're not hearing their stories. But when I visit communities and I see their faces, it reminds me of my own background but just tells me that the situation is very dire. Now something else came up as a result of families going to a place where they don't have food, but not only not have food pressing through this massive famine that's currently being experienced in Uganda, lots of families are now considering the impossible. Families which would never have thought about giving their children for marriage are now thinking about doing that. Any family that can afford to bring a cow and family that can afford to pay any form of bright price. This is the right time for families to consider that. And this is affecting an erasing children's futures and destinies. But more than just that we are seeing some girls at a certain age who, because they are very desperate, it's not even their parents that are making that decision for them. Because they want to survive and from 5 some bases provided for themselves, they are giving in and so teenage pregnancies up through the roof. Alec child marriages is up through the roof and our government is crumbling. We don't know what to do. But in the midst of this, as we are facing this global food crisis, there is a massive situation going on as the charge we are now praying. We're now praying we're seeing God help us. You know, one of the things that got enabled me to do is to establish pastors this network, which is a minister of trains and the creeps pastas and encourages the charge across sub Saharan Africa. And as a result, I have been given the opportunity to travel from place to place and just see what the church is dealing with and what the church is facing and what communities are facing. And what my eyes have seen is beyond description. I'm using the word. This is a God sized problem, because I don't know an individual that can solve this problem. I don't know a single government the consultant is probably. This requires a collective, requires people to come together to solve this problem. And that's why this call is extremely important when it comes to restoring hope and bringing a solution to the current food crisis. And as we think about these as a God sized problem, we have to consider the aspect of Christianity and the aspect of faith that has simply the idea that the beautiful thing about having faith in Jesus is that you don't have to deny reality. When things get bad like this, when things get worse when things become such so critical like this, we can still keep our eyes on Christ. And yet not deny this, but only that as we keep our eyes to Christ and as we worship him and as we lift him up, our eyes begin to see the world as he says, our hearts begin to break for the things that break his heart and then our actions follow in the same way that he would if he was here today. From Uganda and from nagoro community, I want to bring migrating to you and wish you well. This coming Thursday, you will hear even more from Richmond. If you guys missed his story a couple seasons back now, it was just an unforgettable episode. So if you missed it, you're going to get to hear Richmond story this coming Thursday. Jenny and I so deeply respect Richmond and the work that he does in Uganda with the local church with pastors, his connection with compassion and compassion's way of holistically supporting people on the ground through the church is incredibly powerful and we just considered a privilege to get to partner with them. So if you want to get on board, here's how you can do it. We are aiming in 2023 to help 1000 kids in Uganda through sponsorship and so we need your help and I would not be at all surprised if we got a thousand kids sponsored in the next couple episodes. So you ready?

What would you do differently if you were to do this trip again knowing what you know now? I would do that picnic lunch at the same falls and I was able to stretch my seminar 8 days as much as I could, but I would try and stay one night in the shasha sector. I mentioned that earlier. And of course, if people have more time, the three things I did not get to do is side trips would be a post guerrilla tracking is common to spend a day or two in Lake bononi for rest and relaxation, the opportunity to swim in the Lake and taking a beautiful views. For it, adventurous folks in the water, this class four 5 rapids in the Nile at Ginger, which is closer to Kampala. Okay. And hiking. So the opportunities for hiking in the volcanic mountains near Ganga, national park is another. So these are things that I would consider that I didn't have time for. Okay. Excellent. Are we ready for our wrap up questions? Yeah, I'm ready. Anything else we need to know before we go to Uganda? I would say don't get intimidated about the gorilla tracking permit. I put my trip together in two weeks before my travel. Oh, really? Yeah, so don't get intimidated by it. The two doctors are very resourceful to help secure that elusive permit. So let them work their magic, so that's one. So they don't feel that you have to plan the 6 months out of one year out, which I was anticipating. So that's good to know. And the other one is don't forget your flashlight because it's very dark.

"With wildlife, Uganda is most famous, as you might know for primate viewing, especially the endangered mountain gorillas. In the rainforest, where you can see the big 5 in Uganda. So to summarize, the big reason to go is really the variety of safari experiences, game drives, walking safaris, forest tracks, boats, safaris, hiking, I describe it as in terms of your experiences per dollar or your experiences per day. Uganda is very compelling. Excellent. And we're going to get into this, but you say per dollar, I think we've talked often about the high end safari experience. Sounded like you were going for something a little more affordable. Yes, so I'm mid range. So definitely not campsites, but definitely budget lodging and a mix of both cottages, as well as candle camps. And yeah, so driving versus flying makes it more affordable, but I was not slumming it by enemies. Some of the lodges were very comfortable. Excellent. And what kind of itinerary are you going to recommend for us? Yeah, so I would start at the capital Kampala and the reason for that is I made a few people at the mountain gorilla tracking who landed in koga in Rwanda and made their way across the border for the guerrilla tracking and really didn't experience the rest of Uganda. So I would recommend landing in Kampala. The airport is based in a town called entebbe. I remember raid on antibiotic. I've seen that movie. Yeah. It's a good-looking rival town. It's on the shores of Lake Victoria, which, as you might know, is the largest Lake in Africa. And then a good book in town where visitors spend the right of a variable and the day before departure. However, the IPA I'm recommending is getting a head start here adventure by heading out right after your land. So what had happened was I worked with my tour operator home to Africa.

"And then he ended up cashing out a few billion and they had to pay billions of dollars in taxes, but for the most part, the government, you can create your wealth over a long period of time and the government don't have access to that money. So in theory, they won't access to billions of dollars that people have in the stock market, that's not circulating in the economy in theory. I don't know if I'm going to be saying it right financially, but that's pretty much what they want to do. Let me get some calls here in a four four 9 zero zero 7 two four three 8 four four 9 zero zero 7 two four three. Let me go with Joe from Chicago. Joe, welcome to the off state of show. Hello. Noah was the only man left that you got back in the lane of king. You know, and you were talking about this earlier, who is left in modern day America. You know? Right. Are you getting it? I don't know. It's just. I'm not getting it. I'm being honest. I'm not getting it. I'm trying to think, so you talking about down the lineage, Noah was the last to know God or you said he's in the land of cane. Yeah, he was the only man that new guy, you know, and that's why God destroyed the land of king. Right. I think I'm starting to get what you're saying. So you're saying who's the modern day Noah, which means the one person is doing the right thing and everybody else is, you know, going off of a cliff, who's that one person that's willing to stand and do what's right. Even when everybody else is not, I'd love to know who it is. I don't think you and me. I don't even know if I can. I don't even know if I'm gonna know her, man.

Joe, thank you so much for calling me and God bless you. I mean, that's a good question, man. I mean, how many of us would be Noah? You know, that wasn't easy, bro you know, you know how in the world we say, as a conservative, you've kind of feel like Noah esque, right? You feel like you're the only person that makes sense. Everybody else is nutty, especially if you live in California and you're around a bunch of liberals. Or leftists.

"But that's red meat to these prosecutors that hate Trump. So hey, if you give me less time, I'm cooperating. I'll cooperate. I cooperate. Hey, here's this. He's probably leading him down a rabbit hole. Because he's hoping that in theory, they look at him as being a cooperative person, and they may give him less time. But cooperating gets to the media, then Trump gets it and blasted, and they really don't have any evidence. This was rumors that they were funneling around about him getting indicted. Trump made it, I think he made the ace move. By saying, oh, I'm gonna put it out there. And expose them. And now they're in a hot seat. Now they have to eat the produce what they're doing or what they're not doing right away, because the public is now have interest in the media is going to look into it. It's no more of a secret indictment that we're going to concoct behind the scenes. Now, Trump has made it readily available. And now people can look into it, right? There's thing called for you request, the freedom of information act. You can start looking into evidence you can start communicating with certain people. And I think that it very well could be that Cohen was a rat and his lawyers didn't want to represent him anymore. Or the lawyers looking for the money, yet they represented Cohen. As far as they can go with him, now he can't pay them to do nothing. What are they going to do? Be unemployed? They are Swiss teams go to the man that got the money. And now they represent Trump. You know, I don't think that that's at all counter to the way law firms work. They're going with the money. You can't pay a person money from jail, a house arrest. Cohen is probably broke right now. He probably exhausted all of his savings to try to pay for these lawyers to defend him and they realized they probably knew all along that there's no defending him. But somebody got to do it, so we'll do it. That's like defending the serial killer. Who would defend a serial killer, they admitted that he did it. Or, you know, that made some emissions and evidence that he did it, but want to fight it in trial. Well, let him pay you the money and he gonna go to Jeffrey Richard's life. Who cares? Same thing with Cohen. They soak co into death, took all his money and now they own the Trump team. Now they're in the headlines. Now they make it, I want to know how much Trump is paying in retainer. He probably paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars to represent him like this. And at the end of the day, I don't care. I he need to be the president of the United States so we can get out of this hole. And then we can find somebody later on. But I think that we could do the same. I could believe that he is in the stuff he shouldn't be doing and messing up and he still can be the president. I don't have to pick a side because I like Trump. Hold a phone. I'll be back after the break. This is the

But anyway, let me finish his point and then I'm going to move on. But I really do believe that we can walk into gum at the same time. I could acknowledge that Donald Trump is probably wrong for what he did. I know that I know the system. His lawyer paid stormy Danes and they paid him back. And they did it in a roundabout way. He took out this loan that's undetectable, paid her with it. And then Donald Trump paid him back. Therefore, if nobody was digging into Trump's business, they would not know that he did this. Because he paid him back, they didn't know that he was payment that went out because it was private. So that's how they do the cycle. I'm pretty sure Donald Trump has done this with Michael Cohen a thousand times already. But let's not be naive. I still don't care if it's criminal and he has to get indicted for it and that's it is what it is. But I can still believe in support Donald Trump and think he's the best president and I vote for him again in spite of what he had done that may have been illegal. It's that simple. Let's see. Let me go to a couple college got a couple people calling in. Sorry to miss your calls. I didn't see him on the board. Let's see, let me go to Steve from Atlanta, GA. Steve, welcome to the show. Thanks for taking my call. Thanks for taking my call. Hey. Are you aware that Cohen went to jail? Yep. He went to jail for lying in Congress under oath. Yes, sir. And the first 7 indictments when he went to jail for other things. The first 7 indictments were before you ever met Trump. And did you know that there was another lady who tried the exact same thing? It was there at the hotel that same day. I think Cohen was trying to hide it from his life. And so did you know that his lawyer Cohen's lawyers are now lawyers for Trump against Cohen and that his lawyers went to go testify, the lawyers for Cohen went to go testify for Trump. Trump never paid the $130,000 back. So you don't know all these things. Trump never came. So you were telling me. The guy who I know all is Stephen. Hold on a second. Well, now we got to go to break.

But I do not believe that Donald Trump is going to go to jail the way they expect him to go to jail. You know, I really believe that Donald Trump pulled the okey doke on people, right? Because I don't think they were anywhere near prepared to indict Donald Trump at all. And I think some liberties he had kind of told him that they were thinking about doing it. And that they may attempt to indict him. And so he put it out there ahead of everything. So the outrage could continue. According to some polls that Donald Trump's ratings went up after he was allegedly going to be indicted. Now, I'm still on the perspective that, you know, it's going to be a competitive run between him and his answers if desantis get in the race, but right now I think that the momentum has shifted almost exclusively to Donald Trump. Especially after they claim they were going to arrest him. You know, at the end of the day, I'm going to say this and I'm going to say it every time I get on the radio and talk about this, I just really wish we could have the best of both worlds, right?

You know, I really wish we could have both the senses. I think it's a little closer to Trump than both to having both, but I'm just, I'm biased. And this is just my own personal preference. I know it's a fairytale. Of a situation because they don't make me in like that no more. And the men like that that God has made don't want to run for office.

Our Country Deserves a Moralistic Standard
"I honestly believe in our country we should have a standard. I don't think that, you know, you should be mad at somebody if they want to identify with a certain way and be gay or whatever. But I do think that there should be things put in place to keep a moralistic standard, which means that marriage is between a man and woman and that's it. If you want to have some type of government, recognition, then you can call it a civil union with benefits and all other stuff that come with what they call government sanctioned marriages or government related marriages. You could do that, but just don't call it marriage. Because then when you call it marriage, then you start encroaching on all kinds of other things that are morally inconsistent. I believe with the foundation of this country. And the same thing with like trans and stuff. Okay, you can be trans, but you have to be an adult. It is against the law, the transition your kids outside of the age of 18. That's what I think should happen. Give them kids a chance to grow up, give them a chance to figure out what they're doing in life. It's a young girl, jazzy, what's her name, Jennings? Jazzy Jennings I made a video about her, her mama. The other day. It got almost a million views. This young girl, they transitioned her at four years old. And this is my biggest problem, and I feel like people are probably mad at Uganda and some of these African nations for Bannon and stuff because I think they see the writing on the wall and they're fearful of their society being taken over like ours have been in some of these cases. They transition this year at four years old.

How vaccine inequality is endangering the world
"With that anniversary one year ago today when the World Health Organization officially declared the covert 19 outbreak, a worldwide pandemic when a year on and 2.6 million people have died worldwide, and the economy is in tatters. There is also hope, because Kobe vaccination drives under way more than 100 countries with more than 300 million doses of ministered, but who gets vaccinated, for example, there around 80 million refugees, asylum seekers and displaced people worldwide. Will they be included in vaccination plans where they live? Filippo Grandi is the U. N High Commissioner for Refugees and his current in Uganda. When I spoke to him, he started by telling me what impact the pandemic and lockdowns have had on refugees. Where I think the impact is severe and will be even more severe is more on the economic side and in lockdowns, which prevail all over the world. We've seen an escalation off poverty if you wish in refugee and displaced community all over the world from Lebanon, Toe black in America, the Venezuelans toe Afghans in South Asia and so forth, So this is really the key challenge that we have to face now. We know that the key to getting out of the pandemic. His vaccination aren't refugees at the end of the list of people who are going to get vaccinated or too often, well, that was very much our concern, especially refugees. Refugees are not nationals off the country's they're in, and we were worried that because of that they would be marginalized. You know, there's been some good developments. I am in Uganda is speaking to you from Kampala and here, for example, today the vaccination begins. I was with the acting prime minister this morning He was going to be vaccinated and he was keen to tell me refugees will be included. There's no question about that. You can the host 1.5 million refugees. Almost the pandemic has the underlying the inequalities that disparities Throughout the world on one of those is that the richer Western countries of vaccinating at a much higher rate than poorer countries, and yet so many of the world's refugees, Aaron places Like where you are right now, you can do that slower roll out in places like Uganda is undoubtedly going to effect refugees, isn't it? You're absolutely right. George. Vaccination programs have to exist and to be rolled out to include refugees, and this is where really the enormous inequality of the international system has appeared. Very carries. The tent of March is the first day that you can to a nation of more than 40 Million people is receiving its first vaccine when in rich countries. This has been going on for several months. So this inequality is blatant. This needs to be corrected. We are active as an organization in those initiatives that aimed at securing a minimum amount of doses. For poor countries and our role there is to ensure that some of those does is go to the refugees as well. But frankly speaking, that effort is not enough to correct that huge imbalance which is really short sighted. It's not only wrong, it's shortsighted. It's a bit like refugees and nationals in the country if people in poor countries do not get vaccination. This is a global issue. It will backfire everywhere else so then more vaccines and needed and more needs to be done to deal with, as you say, the social impact of the pandemic on Refugees in particular. He's a difficult questions, and there aren't presumably easy solutions to them. But what are a couple of things that could should be done to make progress in this sense from the very beginning off the pandemic? I've reached out personally to the leadership of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. These institutions have led The establishment off economic rescue packages for countries impacted by Corbett and lockdowns, and my message to them has bean first of all to accelerate. The disbursement of those packages so that this country's are more protected, but also to ensure that vulnerable groups are included actually are considered as a factor to increase those packages. In other words, take Uganda again. Uganda is negotiating. If I understand with the I m F one such package and the message that I will pass through the eye, meth and other similar institutions is remembered. Uganda has what 40 45 million people. It's national population. It has almost 1.5 million refugees. These needs to be factored in, especially in countries like you can that that are very inclusive that include refugees in education programs in health programs that extend to them efforts to create livelihoods. This additional burden that these countries have needs to be considered when this economic packages are rolled out. This is not always the case. Look at Lebanon, for example, where one in four people is a refugee. This huge political tension in Lebanon over this refugee issue. I'm very worried that rescue packages being rolled out and Lebanon has many challenges may not include refugees, and this would be catastrophic for this huge, vulnerable population in that particular country, And this example is valid in other countries as well. So yes, More complex, I would say even then the vaccination inclusion.
