It's just about everything that's happened this week. I'm Eric Hanson, and we begin with President Trump, who made some controversial statements about abortion this week and called Ron DeSantis's six week abortion ban a terrible mistake. We might as well get this out of the way. We got President Trump with an answer to Kristen Welker on NBC's Meet the Press and her debut as the new host, which gave a lot of ammunition to Trump haters who want to hurt him and try to wreck his chances of becoming the nominee in 2024. This is an interesting dilemma that Republicans have. Here's the dilemma. Pro -life fighting for the sanctity of those unborn babies, the sanctity of their lives, the sacredness of the innocent. That's a centerpiece that's foundational for the Republican Party. And whether we like it or not, this particular debate that we're having in America over abortion is crushing us at the ballot box. And Donald Trump, I believe, was trying to address that with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Let's get it out of the way. I've been dreading this all weekend. Well, it wasn't all weekend. I mean, this first broke, I think, Saturday. They gave a little preview of his answer. I don't love his answer, but I also don't love the way Trump critics are pouncing on him, claiming he's not pro -life. I got into a big knockdown drag out, as I expected I would with my friend Mark Davis in Dallas, because Mark is now hell bent on proclaiming that Donald Trump is not pro -life. And he's saying that because of this exchange with Kristen Welker yesterday on Meet the Press. If a federal ban landed on your desk, if you were re -elected, would you sign it at 15 weeks? Are you talking about a complete ban? A ban at 15 weeks? Well, people are starting to think of 15 weeks. That seems to be a number that people are talking about right now. Would you sign that? I would I would sit down with both sides and I negotiate something and we'll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years. I'm not going to say I would or I wouldn't. I mean, the sanctus would really design a five week and six week ban. Would you support that? I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. But we'll come up with a number. But at the same time, Democrats won't be able to go out in six months, seven months, eight months and allow an abortion. Now, there are people who took that answer and proclaimed that Donald Trump is not pro -life, like it's important to proclaim or make some kind of declaration that he is not pro -life. I believe it's ridiculous to claim that a guy who's the only president to ever attend the March for Life, the guy who promised to get Roe v. Wade overturned because that was terrible federal. That was a terrible federal ruling and appointed Supreme Court justices who did just that to claim that Donald Trump is not pro -life is preposterous. It's absurd. It's virtue signaling. And perhaps it's just. The opportunistic way you chalk up some points for Ron DeSantis, because clearly Team DeSantis is pouncing on Donald Trump over this remark. I believe two things can be true at the same time. You can be pro -life and you can acknowledge that this issue is killing us at the ballot box. And we're losing elections. So President Trump has some campaign trouble to manage. Meanwhile, our current president can barely navigate a simple speech. If you miss Joe Biden at the U .N. this week, well, buckle up. Remember when Trump went to the United Nations and gave a really good speech and the media freaked out and said how goofy and wild and unpresidential and unprecedented it was, they had a complete meltdown and he gave a really decent speech. Compare that to the appearance of Joe Biden yesterday at the U .N. Now, even as we have all our institutions and drive creative new partnerships. Let me be clear. Certain principles of our international system are sacrosanct. Both Biden and Kamala Harris do the same thing when they say, let me be clear, run for the hills, because when they say, let me be clear, you're going to see nothing but mud and gibberish. I mean, babbling incoherently in front of the United Nations. And if that wasn't wild enough, you've got the Ukrainian President Zelensky. He marches in with his entourage. You know, I used to say I was torn about Ukraine. People that I respect insist that we have got to continue to fund the Ukrainian battle with Russia, that the American people have to help Ukraine with its border. We dare not have a wall for our own border, but we better, by God, help Ukraine with theirs. We better fund them. We better give them the missiles they want. We got to give them the ammunition they need. We need to. We got to stop Vladimir Putin. And if you push back against that, you're a stooge for Vladimir Putin. You're a Putin puppet. Just ask Tucker Carlson. When Tucker dared to express the belief that the American people have bigger fish to fry than funding Ukraine, he was thoroughly denounced and renounced as a stooge of Vladimir Putin. So there goes Zelensky marching into the UN yesterday with his bodyguards and his entourage, and he gets up to that podium. And what he said was pretty stunning. I expected he would stand at that giant podium in front of that ugly green background at the UN and talk about the need to fund his military. Talk about Russia's aggression against the Ukrainian people. Talk about Ukraine's place in the whole worldview of things instead. We got this. Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives, this means that extreme weather will still impact the normal global life and some evil state will also weaponize its outcomes. And then people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest. We all have seen them and when people in Morocco and Libya and other countries die as a result of natural disasters and when islands and countries disappear underwater and when tornadoes and deserts are spreading into into new territories and when all of this is happening, one unnatural disaster in Moscow decided to launch a big war and killed the tens of thousands of people. No wonder loony leftists have the Ukrainian flag in their front yard. You would think the Ukrainian president had bigger problems than climate change. Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers hit the picket lines this week. They made a few modest demands like a 40 % pay raise in a four day work week. Speaking of the UAW strike, I watched Sean Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers Union on the Sunday morning news shows. And you know, I admit I'm not a real big fan of unions. In fact, quite the opposite. I kind of think that unions have helped destroy many aspects of our economic system. In fact, it's a commonly held view that pension plans that used to be in place contributed to the decline of the U S automakers. Well, now the UAW is demanding pensions come back. They want the old fashioned defined benefit plan. And as Bloomberg points out, pensions are not worth striking over. You know what I find interesting about the UAW dispute? I heard all the talking points about how the corporate executives at the big three automakers make too much money. That's a Bernie Sanders mantra. That's an Elizabeth Warren trope. The executives make too much. You know, a company can be producing billions of dollars of revenue, but the Bernie Sanders of the world want to cap what an executive at one of those companies earns, which I always find so fascinating. It's as if they want to equate the guy or gal on the assembly line with the big automakers. Well, they're not the same. I mean it'd be nice if everybody made the same amount of money in life hate to break it to your life doesn't work that way. Some people make more than others and admittedly a lot of it is luck. I don't deserve the living that I make, but I'm very blessed to make a good living. There are people make a lot more than I do and I don't begrudge them anything, but simply because somebody that might have a show on television might make 10 times what I make. I don't think I should make what they make simply because we do the same essentially same thing. I mean, and Democrats always have such hypocrisy on this issue. Like somebody just texted me, how many homes does Bernie Sanders have again? It's more than one. But here's something that I noticed when I heard Sean Fain, the president of the UAW talk about executives compensation and how we're not making enough and we're taking steps backwards. I mean, the fact of the matter is the union gave up the defined benefit pension plan in a previous negotiation. Now they want it back. When you give up a benefit like that, you're not going to get it back. That's not realistic. And here's what I'm interested in. You know what was missing from all the coverage of the UAW strike? They never talk about what auto make auto workers make. Now I kept hearing how somebody on the assembly line can't feed their family. Really? What do they make? I kept hearing that Sean Fain kept saying the auto workers have taken three steps backwards. Really? How much do they earn? I know what they want to make. They want a 40 % pay increase and they want to only work four days a week. Now that's a pretty good deal.
Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from Europe's Anti-Bitcoin Bill Reveals Plan to Stop Adoption | EP 829
"It's all going to zero against bitcoin it's going up for ever more you're against bitcoin you're against freedom yo welcome to simp with bitcoin live we're the number one source for the peaceful bitcoin revolution we will be your guide through the separation of money and state speaking of the separation of money and state interesting news coming out of Europe kind of not as bad as the proposed bill by Elizabeth Warren that we covered on one of simply bitcoins simply bitcoin lives episode this week but it's something very similar right this idea that every single transaction needs to be KY seed right and then I think that will inevitably lead to the any host unhosted wallet needs to be KY seed all right the the wording specifically in the Elizabeth Warren bill included any minor any validator any software wallet so you know it's just of course the powers that be that tremendously benefit from having a monopoly on the creation of money having controls on money of course to benefit themselves of course they're not going to be okay with this and this was the theory that was originally you know put out back in the 90s in the book the sovereign individual I'm going to read you guys a passage from that book because I think it correctly predicted exactly the reactions from governments I don't think governments have been able to they're not used to this environment where they have competition and most importantly not only do they have competition but they can't shut down the competition right because we remember we saw Facebook try to launch their own you know digital currency and they got shut down real quick the thing with Bitcoin right and Bitcoin only right because aetherium is inherently centralized meaning it will inevitably be co -opted so they have no choice but to ally with the state and they were in order to survive but with Bitcoin can't be stopped and because it can't be stopped it creates a forcing function in the long term as more and more individuals choose to opt out of inflationary money into deflationary money so yes of course times are changing but it's not only on the money front right we're not only living through the disintermediation of money but we're also living through the disintermediation of information and yesterday was a historic day I've never seen this in my life the UK Parliament sent Russell Brand an extremely popular independent content creator a letter to rumble we love rumble by the way we're on there subscribe to us on there and shout out to our rumble audience as well it's been growing by the day so we appreciate you all they sent a letter to rumble asking rumble to demonetize Russell Brand like YouTube did so we have governments that are directly asking platforms to demonetize content creators of which they don't did they don't agree with that is absolutely absurd and these are the same governments that want you to trust them with central bank digital currencies if they had central bank digital currencies in place they wouldn't even have to ask the platforms they could just flick the switch themselves so when we say Bitcoin or slavery or how beauty on said it and I'm starting to lean this way to Bitcoin or death we are not exaggerating and you have to choose what world do you want to live in in the future and most importantly what world do you want the future generations your children your children's children to live in so it's gonna be a great episode I'm really looking forward to it you have to stay on top of what's going on anyways we also we also have a very special treat for you guys we have the head of customer experience from foundation devices the maker of the passport hardware wallet and he's gonna do a live demo for us during the culture cement segment so I'm really really pumped about that let me bring up let me bring him up on stage Bitcoin Q &A you're quite well known on Bitcoin Twitter as well how you doing buddy yeah doing very well thank you very much for having me I'm psyched to shoot the shit with you guys this evening well even in my time but yeah certainly some interesting goings on especially around the Russell brand thing so I'm sure we'll be able to share some insights on that one but not a good look yeah I completely agree man it's it's some some interesting times we are living through people some people call it the fourth turning I don't know man but the phrase that sticks with me the most is weak men create hard times hard times create strong men strong strong men create good times we're definitely going through this era and then I think it was actually Vladimir Lenin that said the very very famous quote right where there are decades that nothing happened and then there are weeks that decades happen I think we're definitely living through this moment of time anyways no more delay let's bring up my legendary co -host not optimistic today no smile oh there's this smile sorry I was caught reading the channels optimistic fields how you doing bro well I am doing wonderful and I'm actually really excited for this culture segment today guys I got a sneak peek of the demo that we're going to see and I think there's gonna be awesome this might be a simply Bitcoin first for the live show but to the news stories and stuff it really just goes to show that if you speak the truth you are the enemy of the state and I think more and more and more people are waking up to this because they either continue to de -platform you from your banks or de -platform you from social media for saying what they don't want to be said you know for saying the quiet part out loud and you know this is why we do our show in a very particular way so that we can survive on YouTube but man it really just goes to show that the powers that be are completely terrified of people talking about the truth hence why you guys need to talk about it more and continue to spread that signal but it just goes to show that this is the the last I don't know the last gasp of the great Leviathan you know what's them saying like darker before the dawn like this is their last grasping at straws to control the truth and and I mean I've been saying for a while I think the monopoly on truth is slowly and dwindling they're going to try to make examples of this so you know just be prepared we know what's coming so protect yourselves protect your family and continue to spread the Bitcoin truth the Bitcoin signal actually just truth with a capital T I suppose anyways Niko let's let's get into this one let's get into this one let's get into the show man I'm really really excited alright guys let's get to the numbers we have a lot to talk about today and I'm super is your Bitcoin in cold storage really secure is your seed phrase really secure stamp seeds do -it -yourself kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on paper don't store your generational wealth on paper papers prone to water damage fire damage you want to put your generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet earth titanium your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps and once your words are in they aren't going anywhere no risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling everywhere titanium stamped seeds will survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire they're also crush proof waterproof non -corrosive and time proof all things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with peace of mind for the long haul stamp your seed on stamp seed alright guys I literally made it super easy for you guys you can scan the QR code on your screen it will take you directly to stamp seed website you can get you could store your generational wealth on titanium so you don't have to explain to your children why you lost your Bitcoin because you stored it on paper you can use promo code simply get 15 % off anything on the stamp seed website at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is twenty six thousand five hundred and seventy sats per dollar three thousand seven hundred sixty four block height eight hundred eight thousand seven hundred twenty nine blocks to having thirty one thousand two hundred seventy one having estimate April 21st 2024 total lightning network capacity four thousand eight hundred fifty five Bitcoin capacity value one hundred twenty nine million US dollars realized monetary inflation one point seven five percent the market capitalization of Bitcoin currently sitting at five hundred and seventeen billion dollars Bitcoin versus gold market cap four point zero one percent in the grand scheme of things Bitcoin is still a baby if Bitcoin reaches not if when Bitcoin reaches the gold market cap that is five hundred thousand dollars per coin and I think that's just getting started anyways we played you guys a video yesterday of a member of the United Nations talking about how we are in an information war we played you guys the video and she was basically recommending that that that they no longer have people to call on on Twitter to censor information she was also saying how there's an army of people that are propagating United Nations approved information well you know she's she's talking about as if the information that's coming out of the United Nations is a matter of fact right she's talking about the problem of disinformation disinformation well my question to you guys is who gets to decide what is disinformation and what is information right well we advocate for on simply Bitcoin is individuals not central planners not governments using their own critical thinking abilities right to dictate okay this is a good idea this is a bad idea right this is how the American this how the American Constitution it's literally written like that that there's a reason that the First Amendment is the way it is right the government or Congress should make no law you know basically censoring or stopping the freedom of the speech of people right and they made it that way for a reason because if there is a central authority if there's a government that gets to dictate what information is true what information is not true history has shown that they'll use that power to protect their own political mode right so thank God for the internet thank God for technologies like Bitcoin thank God for technologies like Noster for example they can't do this anymore and because they're not able to do that they're freaking out number one and number two and number two it becomes a forcing function over a long period of time but that doesn't stop them from trying here is the former New Zealand Prime Minister at the United Nations saying that that words are weapons of war right weapons of war if so if you say something against the government that all of a sudden becomes a weapon of war and again this has escalated it is escalated to the point where the UK Parliament has asked rumble to demonetize Russell Brand who's a very popular content creator who goes against the legacy corporate media's narratives right and it kind of embarrasses them so what are they doing they're attacking his money they're saying rumble okay they can't they've tried to deplatform people before they've gotten a lot of pushback so what they do instead is that they attack his pocketbook obviously YouTube complied they demonetize Russell Brand's content but rumble said no we're not doing that so love that of rumble we're on rumble we support rumble that's awesome but another thing that I want to say is that the allegations against rubble Russell Brand are just that they are allegations they have not been proven so something that has not been proven is a justification to shut off someone's living that is insane anyways let's check out this letter and this is a letter by part by the UK Parliament the specifically the cultural culture media and sport committee to the CEO of rumble Chris Palavoski who says dear Chris I'm writing concerning the serious allegations regarding Russell Brand in the context of of his being a content provider on rumble for more than 1 .4 million followers the cultural the culture media and sports committee is raising questions with the broadcasters and production companies who previously employed mr. brand to examine both the culture of the industry in the past and whether that culture still prevails today however we are also looking at his use of social media including on rumble where he issued his preemptive response to the accusations made against him by the Sunday Times and Channel 4 his dispatches while we recognize that rumble is not the creator of the content published published by mr. brand we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform did you hear what they said the government is concerned that Russell Brand might be able to profit from his content because there was some allegations made against him conveniently a lot of Russell Brand's content is criticisms of the government so I mean big coincidence I guess you would you could say we would be grateful if you could confirm whether mr. brand is able to monetize his content including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him is so we would like to know whether rumble intends to join ryu tube in suspending mr. brand's ability to earn money on the platform we would also like to know what rumble is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potential potentially illegal behavior so they asked rumble to demonetize a content creator an independent content creator that's the key word when we had Parker Lewis on the show and I was talking about the legacy corporate media he didn't say no Nico it's not the legacy corporate media it's the legacy government media so anyways why is this happening I think Jeff Booth said this perfectly we read this to you guys the other day and this all boils down to the money this is why we say as Bitcoiners fix the money fix the world here's Jeff Booth he says because broken money Elon Musk said how did most of the legacy media go from superheroes of free speech to supervillains of speech suppression and Jeff Booth says because broken money ensures the centralization of power by stealing the productivity through inflation that should flow to society in the form of lower prices then those enriched by that theft and subsequent power must control the messaging to keep it but it all it wasn't only Jeff Booth that said this here's an article from our friends over at Bitcoin magazine of nine Bukele the president of the country shining on the hill the Savior El Salvador the first country that made Bitcoin legal tender the beachhead for the Bitcoin movement around the world he goes on to say the most vocal detractors the ones who are afraid and pressuring us to reverse our decision are the world's most powerful elites and the people who work or benefit from them they used to own everything and in a way they still do the media the banks the NGOs international organizations and almost all the governments and corporations in the world and with that of course they own the armies the loans the money supply the credit ratings the narrative the propaganda the factories of food supply they control international trade and international law but their most powerful weapon is their control of the truth and they're willing to fight lie smear destroy confiscate print and do whatever it takes to maintain and increase their control over the truth and everything and everyone I think come from Nico or simply Bitcoin that came from the president of El Salvador name Bukele so what is happening here two things are happening here thing number one the internet has empowered individuals and those individuals can now use the internet to uh to grow these massive platforms themselves and because they're individuals they're a lot harder to co -opt and at the same time we are witnessing the distance remediation of money that internet has allowed Bitcoin and Bitcoin has empowered individuals to choose their own money too so government states NGOs international institutions right that have had this privilege of having not only having the monopoly in the control over money but also the monopoly in the control over information it's quickly diminishing in front of their eyes and of course that system is fighting back they can't take that they've been used to operating in a system where they've been able to control the narrative they've been able to control the truth and that is slipping through their fingers and they don't know what to do and that's why they're short -circuiting the way they are that's why we've gotten to a point where the UK Parliament is literally asking a platform to D monetize an independent content creator not to mention all the stuff that was revealed during the Twitter files where it was exposed that the US government even though that is explicitly against the US Constitution the government should not be censoring speech was asking Twitter to D platform D boost and censor certain speech and these are the same governments that also want you to trust them with central bank digital currencies and they expect you to believe that they're not going to use central bank digital currencies as a weapon as a forcing function in order to control your actions as a individual and this was all predicted I might add in the book the sovereign individual which we'll get to during the new segment but this is some crazy times now what can you do to protect yourself in this particular situation do your own research pick what information sources you choose you you want to choose I love Twitter because it's like a news aggregator and the the news that you know pops up pops up Noster is a great platform rumbles a great platform YouTube is is good to do your own research don't rely on a single information source and then most importantly the most empowering thing you could do is to opt out of state money opt into Bitcoin I think that's the most powerful thing you could do look the most important the most important vote you can make that voting for a Democrat or Republican it's not to say that it's not important to vote but the most powerful vote that you can do that will actually change things is voting with your wallet opt out and the way that you do that is you buy Bitcoin earn Bitcoin mine Bitcoin and take that said Bitcoin into self custody the moment you do that you're part of the peaceful Bitcoin revolution whether you are aware of it or not and that is how we win if enough people take self custody we win and there's nothing they could do about it speaking of self custody we have the head of customer experience with us today Bitcoin QA and you guys make it super fucking easy to take self custody with the hardware wallet that you guys make and not to mention the awesome application that you guys make so Bitcoin QA what's your take on this whole Russell brand stuff I can't believe we've reached this point if I would have been told this five five six years ago I would have said that's impossible there's no way that's that that's so ridiculous what's your take on all this yeah before I enter you I've just got to say that was one hell of a fucking monologue I take my half to you that was fantastic yeah kudos and yeah the whole Russell brand thing man just completely shocking another example yet another example of government overreach Russell brands been a thorn in the side of the UK government if you can't tell by the action by the way to anybody's listening that I'm from the UK and he's been a thorn in their side for years and he's a very well educated man he's very well spoken and he has drawn a lot of following by speaking out against money printing against government policy he was rabid about the whole covert thing pharmaceuticals getting rich because of you know yeah you know all of the corruption that went on over those couple of years and I see this recent letter as that them seeing the opportunity as they're into trying you know get one back on him you've touched on earlier that the fact that all of these are just allegations at the moment and the fact that they're going around trying to take money off him from you know he's not been convicted of anything at all that's not see won't be but right now they're just allegations and they're trying to take his money off him it's just completely shocking and they're just trying to lash out because he's been a pain in their ass royally for years so yeah I mean they're just they're just overreaching and leveraging their powers wherever they can just to kind of deep platform and then hurt his wallet as well unfortunately yeah 100 % they attack his money they attack and again like they attack his money and they're also like hey guys these CBDCs like we'll respect your privacy you could trust us what are you talking about anyways Opti what's your take well I actually I kind of want to ask Q &A question because there is some talk about this in the chat what's your thoughts on Russell Brand being like controlled demolition Q &A whoo how do you mean like basically that this is like an orchestrated attack you know once everyone's talking about this maybe Russell Brand isn't necessarily as much of a truth speaker as people are making him out to be like does he actually believe what he's saying or is this just kind of one of those things where you know you create a figure and then you kind of tear him down to discredit the whole movement in general the whole truth movement yeah possibly I think I think most of what he says is genuine he before he started doing all of the YouTube stuff like he was he was a you know some form of a celebrity he had a big following and could have monetized himself as a product in many many other ways by coming out and being as outspoken as he has against the the prickly topics of like money printing and you know COVID etc he must have known you know he's smart enough to know that would have been incredibly divisive to people that followed him so I lean towards the fact that he's genuine and the fact that they're probably gonna try and use him as a scapegoat to warn ward off other people that kind of speak out against any government policy etc etc yeah I'd agree I mean like especially considering what his status was it's hard to follow the incentives and be like yeah he's got a lot to gain from this when in reality he's on the verge of losing everything so I'd agree with you and then just kind of going back to the beginning of this rant and and people are saying epic daily Nico Jones rant today so good job Nico I like when Nico gets get animated remember growing up guys when I grew up I had a saying and I'm sure your mother told it to you as well and we all probably said it in kindergarten you know sticks and stones but words may never hurt me and now we grow up in a world where words are violence like what is going on guys and that's a convenient it's a convenient way I know Nico I was getting there I'm asking rhetorical questions on the show now okay I'm learning some Nico Jones tactics but as we know guys as we know guys you know if you can stop words from being said then you can stop thought and if you can stop thought then you can ultimately stop behavior and this is where they're going they want to ensure that you guys sell censors so that you guys don't lose everything and this is where we are guys that they are absolutely afraid of people speaking the truth they're absolutely afraid of the average person waking up and exposing all of their lives because that's all they have they have lies and favors and they have the monopoly on truth as we think now is more important than ever to speak your minds to make sure you're having these conversations to as the saying goes you know speak truth to power and all that good stuff because there's been a constant theme throughout 2023 or actually rather since 2020 basically is that if your voice is too big and you talk against the establishment then the powers that be will do anything they can to put you back in line and whether that means you know breaking your reputation taking all your money dragging you through the court of public opinion we know what their tactics are and if you're following along closely then you know what the playbook is and it's almost like they're doing the same thing over and over and over again but I think the silver lining of this is that it seems like their playbook isn't working as well as it used to which in some sense should be absolutely terrifying because then they're going to go to even more extremes and you know I'm not gonna say what everyone's thinking but it's gonna get crazy guys and so I think it's just becoming very very clear that as an individual just even a normal person that doesn't have a platform like you want to do whatever you can in your power to protect yourself and hence why we always say that it always boils down to the money guys so protect your money protect your livelihood by taking your Bitcoin into self -custody by saving in Bitcoin and because remember guys this is always about theft they want to take your wealth and put you back in your place and then distribute it and make everyone feel good and we're seeing this happen in real time and it isn't lost on me that this is done via a letter you know it's just like hey how nefarious can a letter be but if you're reading in between the lines then you know how nefarious this letter actually is and that this is a coordinated attack on someone that's talking against the establishment and if people like Russell Brand you know say what you want about him but if people like him can't speak about the truth and they also get run through the grinder like imagine what would happen to an average individual like there's no hope for us if people of that stature can't talk about what's actually going on in the world and hence why it's so important to continue to double down on independent content creation spreading the truth talking about all this stuff because this is all we have we have the truth on our side and as the saying goes you know the truth will set us free so just just don't be afraid you know be brave but also be smart out there and the best thing you can do is just protect yourself and protect your money protect your family and I think as more people do this then the world will slowly but surely start to fix itself anyways you know amen we'll see what happens amen preach brother all right everybody let's get to the news we got a lot to talk about today let's check it out no no no no no no before we do that before we do that I have to give a shout out to our awesome sponsor Bitcoin 2024 it's gonna be the largest Bitcoin conference on planet earth it's gonna be in Nashville Tennessee it's not gonna

The Financial Guys
A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.

The Corporate Shadow
A highlight from 54. Navigating Conflict: Turning Disagreements into Opportunities for Growth
"This is the corporate shadow. I'm Dr. Ryan Giffen, a professor and people operations expert helping employees and bosses build stronger, meaningful, productive relationships. Conflict is like a constant companion in the realm of human interaction, and it's never more apparent than in the bustling corridors of our workplaces. It's a natural consequence of diverse perspectives, personalities, and ideas converging under one roof. But here's the catch. Conflict, if handled effectively, can actually be a catalyst for growth, innovation, and stronger relationships. However, when it's mismanaged, it can leave behind a trail of broken connections and irreparable damage. So buckle up and get ready to explore the transformative power of conflict resolution. By the end of this episode, you'll be armed with practical tools and stories of success that will help you harmonize your workplace and make conflicts work for you, not against you. Conflict is an inherent part of human interaction, especially in the workplace where those diverse perspectives and personalities converge. And so let's explore some of these techniques and provide real world examples of organizations that have successfully turned conflicts into opportunities for growth and collaboration. First, one of the techniques we can use is active listening, or I call this listen to learn. It's really one of the fundamental aspects of effective conflict resolution. Leaders and employees need to strive to understand the other party's perspective thoroughly. Encouraging opened and honest communication is vital. By active listening, individuals can gain insights into the underlying causes of conflict, identify common ground, and build empathy. If you want to take it a step further, Brene Brown tells us to have courage over comfort. And to do that, we need to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable is being able to get in the arena with the individual and wrestle with the conflict together. Here's a real world example, and it's at Microsoft. At Microsoft, CEO Satya Nadella has actively promoted a culture of listening and empathy. When faced with internal conflicts and disagreements, he encourages his team to engage in active listening sessions. That approach is what helped Microsoft resolve disputes and foster a more inclusive work environment. Another way in which we could tackle conflict is through empathy and perspective taking. Empathy and perspective taking. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person by putting themselves in the shoes of the other party and considering their feelings and motivations. Doing this is going to help leaders and employees bridge the gap between conflicting viewpoints. This will then lead to more constructive, empathetic conversations that help resolve disagreements. The online shoe and clothing retailer Zappos is known for its empathetic approach to conflict resolution. Employees are encouraged to take the perspective of customers when resolving issues. This is what resulted in improved customer satisfaction and loyalty. So apply that to your internal customer. Take an empathetic approach. Look through the perspective of the other individual. This will help you increase that relationship and perhaps even more productivity. Third is quite simple, and that is effective communication. Effective communication is really the key to resolving conflicts. And so leaders and employees need to express themselves clearly and assertively, focusing on the issues at hand rather than resorting to personal attacks. Additionally, by setting ground rules, setting ground rules allows you to come from a place of care for respective communication as this will create a safe space for resolving conflict. IBM has a long history of effective conflict resolution techniques. At IBM, the company encourages employees to use the I language rather than you language. For example, I would say, I feel instead of you always, or I would say I've noticed XYZ behavior rather than you're doing this behavior. By using the I language, this will be a more effective way to communicate that doesn't attack the other person. It fosters a more constructive conversation and minimizes defensiveness. Collaborative problem solving. Collaborative problem solving is the next technique we could use. And so rather than viewing conflict as a win lose situation, leaders and employees should approach them as opportunities for collaborative problem solving. Working together to find mutual beneficial solutions can lead to stronger relationships and innovative outcomes. Google is renowned for its approach to conflict resolution through collaboration. In fact, the company promotes a culture of experimentation and encourages employees to view conflicts as opportunities to brainstorm new ideas and solutions. This has really led to the development of many groundbreaking products and services in which Google has provided to the marketplace. And lastly, mediation and third party involvement can often be an effective technique. In some cases, conflicts can escalate to the point where an intervention of that neutral third party is necessary. And a mediator can help facilitate such conversations, ensuring that both parties have a chance to express their views and work toward a resolution. It doesn't have to be a fancy mediator that you spend thousands of dollars on. In fact, look inwards, look towards your human resources department. When all else fails between a manager and a coworker, perhaps HR could help act as a mediator so that all sides are heard. The United Nations regularly employs mediation techniques to address international conflicts. Skilled diplomats and mediators help conflicting parties find common ground and negotiate peace agreements, preventing further escalation. And so at the end of the day, you all, conflict is an inevitable part of life. Embrace it. Don't run away from it. It's how it's handled that can make or break relationships both in your personal and professional lives. Effective conflict resolution techniques such as what we discussed today, active listening, empathy, effective communication, collaborative problem solving, and third party mediation are the essential tools for both leaders and employees alike. By embracing these techniques, organizations can transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and collaboration, ultimately fostering a more harmonious and productive work environment. The real world examples provided today demonstrate that successful conflict resolution can in fact lead to innovation, improved customer satisfaction, and heck even global peace. That's a wrap for today's episode. Remember embrace conflict. This will be a catalyst for personal and collective growth. When you can transform disagreements into powerful opportunities for understanding, collaboration, and positive change in your life. The Corporate Shadow is produced by InnoSpire Inc.

It's happening right now in China and and the reason no one says anything about it It's because they're too scared of China and that's the problem But the Uighurs had been mistreated for for many years when I was at the United Nations I I not noticed what was happening. And so when we were having some sort of hearing on human rights I actually called out China on what they were doing with the Uighurs and At a an event where all of the Security Council was there the Chinese ambassador asked me if I would Step away for a bit and talk to him and I did and he said I know you mentioned those people Today and I said what people and he said those people That we have in China and I said you mean the Uighurs?

Humanitarian group MSF calls for support for refugees in Kenya affected by cholera crisis
"Refugees in Kenya's dadaab camps are believed to have been hit by a cholera outbreak as the population in the facilities grows rapidly. Doctors Without Borders says 2786 refugees have been affected so far, and that there's an imminent risk of outbreaks of other gastrointestinal diseases that adapt camps, host more than 300,000 people and with a biting drought in neighboring Somalia, the numbers are on the rise, straining water and sanitation services. In 2016, the Kenyan government had announced plans to shut the camps over concerns that extremists from Somalia's Al shabab group were hiding there making the camps a conduit for smuggling weapons, but the United Nations had urged Kenya to reconsider the plan and continue to offer refuge to victims of violence and trauma. There are plans to open another camp in the complex to accommodate new arrivals and ease overcrowding. I'm Lawrence Brooks

UN's weather agency: 2022 was nasty, deadly, costly and hot
"If you think last year was a bad year for climate and weather, you'd be in line with United Nations scientists. 2022 was pummeled with killer floods droughts and heat waves around the world. According to the UN's world meteorological organization, global ocean heat and acidity levels hit record highs. Key glaciers used to track climate health shrank more than 51 inches last year, while all the snow melted on Switzerland's glaciers for the first time in history. 2022 was the 5th or 6th taught year ever recorded, depending on which measure is used. And the head of the UN climate agency says negative trends in weather patterns could continue through the 2060s because of pollution already released regardless of what future steps might be taken to reduce greenhouse gases.

"Associated Press. The United Nations is ready to take the heartbreaking decision to pull out of Afghanistan in May if it can't persuade the Taliban to let local women work for the organization, the head of the UN development program said. UN officials are negotiating with the Afghan government in the hope that it will make exceptions to an edict this month barring local women from UN work. UNDP administrator akim Steiner told The Associated Press. It is fair to say that where we are right now is the entire United Nations system having to take a step back and reevaluating its ability to operate there. Steiner said. But it's not about negotiating fundamental principles. Human rights. The UNDP said Tuesday that it reaffirms its long-standing commitment to stay and deliver for the people of Afghanistan. Secretary general Antonio Guterres spokesman Stefan sijaric said that the United Nations continues to push back on this counterproductive to say the least edict by the authorities. The Taliban have allowed Afghan women to engage in some work, Steiner said, and a UN report released Tuesday shows that the country desperately needs more women working, with its economy flailing. The Taliban takeover has been accompanied by some very modest signs of economic recovery. There has been some increase in exports, some exchange rate stabilization and less inflation. But gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced within Afghanistan's borders is expected to be outstripped by population growth, meaning that per CAPiTA income will decline from $359 in 2022 to $345 in 2024, the report says. Some of those economic problems are due to Taliban policies keeping most women out of the workplace, Steiner said. Those economic problems mean more need in the country, but the UN has decided that human rights are non negotiable, and it will reduce its presence in May if the Taliban do not relent. I think there is no other way of putting it than heartbreaking. Steiner has said in Monday's interview, I mean, if I were to imagine the UN family not being in Afghanistan today, I have before me these images of millions of young girls, young boys, fathers, mothers, who essentially will not have enough to eat. A source of faint optimism is the Taliban's allowing women to work in specific circumstances and health, education, and some small businesses. In one sense, the de facto authorities have enabled the UN to roll out a significant humanitarian and also emergency development assistance set of activities, Steiner said. But they also continuously are shifting the goalposts, issuing new edicts. Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule than during their previous stent and power in the 1990s, the Taliban have imposed harsh measures since taking over the country in 2021 as U.S. and NATO forces were pulling out of Afghanistan after two decades of war. A spokesman for the Afghan economy ministry, Abdul Rahman Habib, told the AP that international banking restrictions, the halt in humanitarian assistance and climate change, explained the country's poverty rate and poor economy. However, he cited lower inflation and dependence on imports improved regional trade and business relations and the eradication of poppy cultivation as signs of economic progress and good governance. Our future plans and priorities are developing the agricultural and industrial sectors, as well as mining extraction, supporting domestic business and domestic products, more focus on exports, attracting domestic and foreign investors, creating special economic zones and much more Habib said. This month, the Taliban took a step further in the restrictive measures. They have imposed on women and said that female Afghan staffers employed with the UN mission can no longer report for work. This is a very fundamental moment that we're approaching Steiner said. And obviously, our hope and expectation is that there will be some common sense prevailing. 8 agencies have been providing food, education, and healthcare support to Afghans, since the Taliban takeover, and the economic collapse that followed it. No country has recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, and the country's seat at the UN is held by the former government of president Ashraf Ghani. The 3300 Afghans employed by the UN 2700 men and 600 women have stayed home since April 12th, but continue to work and will be paid. The UN's 600 international staff, including 200 women, is not affected by the Taliban ban. We are reviewing how we can do our work, and how we can do it while respecting international human rights law, he said Tuesday. We are doing everything we can to see how we can continue to do that..

Now, that Bill has to be supported right now last time I checked, there were about 20 co sponsors. We need a lot more co sponsors, and we need a matching bill in the Senate to get us out of WHO and the United Nations the way it's done is a bill, a joint resolution would be nice, but a bill in the house and a bill in the Senate, which is then sent to the desk of the president or whoever happens to be sitting in the Oval Office chair behind the desk. And that person writes a letter, says to the secretary general of each of those organizations, we're not there anymore, we're out, and then we're out. Now, that can be done.

It's known this year as cop 27 because it's the 27th one since the first one back in 1995. The idea, of course, to try to slow the warming of the world. And that is a tall challenge at the moment with inflation and energy prices soaring some countries are putting climate promises on hold. And leaning back into dirty fuel like coal and gas. One of the country's hardest hit by rising temperatures is Egypt. It's getting hotter at twice the pace of some other nations. My colleague, Laura Rowe Milan, in Madrid, joins me.

Can you give us just a little refresher course exactly what is cop and what are they going to try to accomplish there? 27 is the most important climate gathering of the year. It's sponsored by the United Nations and during this meeting, climate negotiators from all the countries in the world meet the ultimate goal for all of them is to avoid catastrophic climate change. So at the moment, the planet is warming at a very fast pace, and if it continues like that, at the end of the century, we will have reached a level of warming of 3°C compared to pre industrial times, so that will make some parts of the world unlivable. The mission of these negotiators is to find measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions in order to lower the level of warming. So in 2015, when the Paris climate treaty was signed, which said big ambitious goals for all the world to follow to do exactly what you're saying and slow the rate of climate change. They said this goal of 2°C. They were going to try to keep the warming to that rate. And yet we're seeing it kind of creep above that already in some countries. Is it cynical of me to ask every year they come together, politicians and scientists and activists all have this conversation with all their serious and they come forward with pledges that they sign and there's big photos taken and not a lot really happens after that.

Well, I have to say this year, the meeting is and there's a new vibe to this meeting this year because the past two years, a lot of people were virtual. This does feel like actually one U.S. official said to me this feels like the old school UN General Assembly because really everyone is here in town. And it's really becoming two big stories. One is, of course, what is going on in the war in Ukraine, especially after we have food to announce in the sham reference. Nuclear weapons. On the other side, it's almost also becoming an oil and gas conference on its sidelines because Europeans are heading into the winter. And they are scouring the world to try to find supplies. And re to borrow a Tom Keene phrase. I suspect that President Biden and his team in the last 24 hours have had to rip up the script for his remarks this morning given what we heard from president Putin about the partial call up of reserves. It seems to be ratcheting up or doubling down whatever your phrase in Ukraine, what is the expectation there in the halls of the United Nations about how the U.S. were responding in President Biden's remarks this morning. Well, you're right, because I just saw John Lemire of Politico. There's chief White House hero chief tweet that aids are tweaking the speech because they have to make these last minute additions given what has happened overnight coming out of Russia. What Biden is going to say though is going to be really obviously a condemnation about what is going on. But he always talks about how the world is really divided between these democracies and on top machines. And he's going to force those or say to those, if you're on the sidelines, how am I going to say now is enough? What more do you need to do to be on the sidelines? You should join our block. Will the Russians walk out of his speech? I mean, the tension seems so tangible. I mean, I know it's out of the movies or Robert Ludlum novel, but do they walk out? We've seen, we've seen delegations walk out, I think there's a huge walk out when up to the mayor Jade was representing Iran and he gave a speech here years ago. It's a good question. I do not care. Representing them is Sergey Lavrov. Mister yes. She's known as some of the foreign policy circles. He may he may walk out or he might just sit there and probably Smurf and give his thoughts to the press later. Emery reported, thank you so much. Greatly greatly appreciate that this morning at the United Nations here in New York. Paul, the markets, I guess they get ready for the fed meeting. I want to look at equities Dow up 200 points except there's so much more information in foreign exchange and bonds. There is the DXY index higher yet again today. I'm looking at the also on the treasury side, we have the treasury's off. Beth three ticks here putting or putting the yield down to 3.53%, but the two year Tom, we're still in that 4% watch there three spot 9 7. We'll call it around one up a little bit. So we still have that inverted yield curve here. So it'll be interesting to see. I mean, there is a narrative out there over the last day or so that things are so dire in terms of expectations that maybe there's a little short term relief rally if mister Powell doesn't drop a something unusual or unexpected on the bear side. So we'll have to see how the markets react to afternoon, which I know you guys will have full live coverage. Michael McKee down in Washington, D.C.. Yeah, Mike's down there and he'll be ready for the press conference. I really want to note here and I guess it's a global sense and certainly a European sense. Swiss franc drives down to new Swiss francs strength. It's not something we keep score on in America. 1.00 parity between the Euro and this was Frank. We've had stronger Swiss franc down to 0.96 and in the last 7 hours we plunged right back to a zero .9 5 5 and if I bring up the daily chart, yeah, that's down to new recent strength and Swiss and that really shows attentions. That are out there. You know, I'm surprised. We haven't seen a move higher even in crude oil. Brent crude is only up 1% today and when you get that news coming out of Ukraine and the rhetoric from Russia. I would have expected a higher spike here, but a 100% correct. Yeah. So we'll see. Keep keep an eye on that gasoline, ended its 98 day consecutive decline. So ticked up a little bit, the price of a gallon of gasoline, just a smidge, still $3 and 68 cents to fill up the Bentley Tom. We'll see. I had to park the belly. I went out. I tried to get here. I said, oh, I said, do you know who I am?

"Tim Steven on Bloomberg radio It was United Nations world oceans day this past week many countries celebrating the occasion for the past 30 years looking to raise global awareness of all the benefits we get from the ocean and really our collective duty to protect it and ensure its sustainability Here with the sobering impact of climate change on our oceans and how it's not actually too late to change course is doctor Deborah Brosnan marine scientist environmentalist and president of Deborah Brosnan and associates and it's an international scientific consulting firm I think the clock is ticking for our oceans Carl you've talked about the changes you've seen when diving I've seen a lot of those changes too And it's tragic It is very upsetting to go back to these areas and see the loss of coral reefs philosophy And the emptiness and the sea I think a lot of people don't go underwater unaware of how drastic and how rapid these changes have been in the last ten years we have lost so much biodiversity half of the coral reefs are pretty much gone 70% of fish stocks either overexploited or exploited So it is the alarm bells have been ringing and people are finally taking notice We really do have to step up the moment as now We have not a second to lose What can we anticipate when it comes to oceans which feed so many and are such a key part of the food chain you know what can we anticipate in the next coming years because I think it's going to be very difficult in terms of keeping temperatures in the rise is to a couple of degrees or even that is going to continue to have a pretty significant impact So what can we as global citizens anticipate when it comes to our oceans and the impact of that Yeah I think you're absolutely right If these changes are already underway and that we're seeing parts of the ocean get warmer we're seeing other parts of the ocean the acidity and the ocean increase And the currents are now beginning to change So for many of us what we can expect is to see a distribution that change in distribution of many of the species that we're used to seeing So for instance both on the east and West Coast we're seeing a lot of the salmon move north And for fishermen who traditionally depended on famine in these areas those stocks are declining So we can expect to see drastic changes in the ocean both in the distribution and abundance of species And that in turn affects us directly not just in fisheries but take for instance coral reefs So coral reefs are off the coast of Florida they're in all the tropical areas of the world A healthy breaks 90% of the waves action And what that means is that when you get a storm or a storm surge that these reefs prevent the waves from coming in coming in ashore they protect people they protect property and they keep sound on the beach So they protect us they make sure we have nice features to walk on As we're seeing the decline in reefs and these reefs are collapsing what we've seen happening in the ocean is that the value of the services that these colonies used to provide us are now disappearing Added to that these reefs provide habitat for fish species and turtles And that habitat is declining as well So our oceans right now are not on a good trajectory Doctor Brosnan what do you hear from the ESG community which we repeatedly often say it is Tim two it's going through a reckoning There's so much money going into the ESG space and yet you know it does feel like investors are saying wait we want more clarity about what these investments are could more clarity when it comes to ESG investing help certainly the pursuit of what you guys are doing And what people are doing to protect the oceans Yes definitely I agree with that ESG is a catch all right now And for a lot of businesses a lot of companies it's very hard to understand exactly what are the metrics and do these metrics make any difference to the environment And also to the bottom line how do those two fit together I think we urgently need more clarity in the ESG world For instance if we look at the ocean as a sector and we can break down into shop sectors being able to identify clear metrics in ESG that are relevant to the particular industry whether it's fishing whether it's transportation would provide clarity It would provide standards that people could look at on a tier two and a way for people to really be able to distinguish between what's real and what's greenwashing In our lifetimes has it I'm trying to figure out the right way to ask this doctor Brosnan Has it reversed and started to get better Are we at a worse place now than ever before For the whole ocean I am sorry to say I think it's gotten worse in our lifetime You know obviously that's really distressing to me because it's not like we're just learning about this No it's not These alarm bells have been ringing for a long time And the rate of decline is accelerating On the other hand if you take areas of the world both in the U.S. Australia around the world there are pockets where we're seeing a really big shift in basically trying to recover these oceans And we're actually seeing success whether it's a marine protected area of changing fishing practices we are literally seeing things get better It's the race which it'll get better and the scale of the improvement that we have to pay attention to

"So it is pretty clear at this point that Joe Biden is less interested in America's interest and more interested in what can foreign policy do for him. Domestically, they are now pursuing that they're pursuing an anti American policy. It's an anti American foreign policy. I don't know how else to describe this tweet from Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Now I've given blinking credit in the past for, for example, saying some relatively decent things about the Israel Gaza conflict, for example. Given Blinken and the foreign policy team, some credit for the things that Joe Biden said with regards to Vladimir Putin, But this is truly egregious. And the fact that it's been largely overlooked by the media is insane to me. So he tweeted this. I I completely missed this. And so one of my producers made me aware of it this morning. It's wild Secretary of State Blinken tweeted this quote. Responsible nations must not shrink from scrutiny of their human rights record. Rather, they should be transparent with the intent to grow and do better. That is why I'm announcing a formal invitation for the U. N special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism to visit the United States. This is patently mad. I mean, it's crazy. The United Nations is a is most Eiseley of international politics. It is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. The the notion that we should have Auditors from Sudan and China and Russia and Malaysia and all of these other countries. They can't hold a candle glass in terms of human rights, come and audit domestic American racism. It's a political tool. By Antony Blinken. Which so often foreign policy is the Democrats. And this is why Barack Obama in his very early days before he was even president did a European tour you? A lot of people in United States were saying themselves. Why is Barack Obama a senator in the United States running for the American presidency, attempting to go abroad and do speeches in like Berlin and Paris, and the answer is because what Democrats really wish to do? It suggests that other countries Their opinions ought to matter with regard to domestic American politics. The rest of the world is judging us. Sort of Greta Twinsburg syndrome large They're judging you the drug. And so Antony Blinken literally wants to have members of the U. N common Judge American Racism. It's pathetic, and it's anti American. No one has the moral stature to come into the United States, the most racially diverse place on earth, most racially diverse democracy on planet Earth and most racially tolerant, diverse democracy on planet Earth, by the way, And then started lecturing us on how racist we are, and the fact that this administration is welcoming them in their welcoming them in in the same way that the Department of Justice under America, Ireland is going to go into police departments and simply make up reports about how police departments are racist and then cram down consent decrees. The idea here will be the U. N issues report and how terrible and racist America is and There it is Magically. The only way to alleviate this deep and brutal and abiding racism is to do all the things that Joe Biden wants to do so Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken can't convince you that America is racist and terrible. So it will bring in international institutions to call America racist and terrible and derive the United States on the international stage, so they can say we need to do all the things we already wanted to do. Because after all the world expects it of us. It's not who we are. It's so shameless and it's so yucky. The reality is it as I talked about on the show yesterday and the day before? Most people are seeking freedom on planet Earth. The United States is the place you go. United States is the place you go for racial tolerance. The United States has a higher household income for Nigerian Americans and does for white Americans has a higher household income for Asian Americans than for white Americans. Or for a supposedly white supremacist country. We're doing a horrible job of it here in the United States, and yet the continuous push from the Democrats that America's deeply racist and the whole goal here is to mobilize minority voters who supposedly are going to fight. Revenge is Republican racism that inevitably will fall. Despite the fact that again it does not exist, and it is very silly. All of this is part and parcel of treating American foreign policy is basically domestic political weapon. It's not about spreading American values abroad. It's not about liberating people. It's not about ensuring a safer and more secure world for American interest. It's not about any of those things is about forwarding, democratic domestic political interest. It's all wagged the dog crap. It is all about doing things that benefits. Democrats politically domestically, And that is why Joe Biden is pulling out of Afghanistan. Make no mistake that is not about forging American interest. It's not about making America more safe, and it is not about protecting American troops. It is about Joe Biden wanting to be able to say that he withdrew from Afghanistan, unlike all of his predecessors. And then thinking that the American people are going to cheer even as women are stuff back into burqas and stuff back into basements and the Taliban take over the country and continue to foster terrorism in the region. Because Joe Biden wants the political win. It is that simple. Now when Secretary Blinken is welcoming in U. N special reporters to talk about American racism, you know how much I care about what the U. N has to say about anything having to do with morality? This this turd bucket of an organization? I could not care less. What the U. N has to say about anything. The U N is A is a is a Despicable dumpster fire of an organization where we're supposed to take seriously countries like Yemen on human rights. No, the answer should be by any patriotic president and any patriotic administration. No, But instead we're actively seeking out the opinions of U N on American racism, which of course, is designed solely to create pressure domestically. Meanwhile, speaking of people we apparently refused to judge Iranians, right. The Biden administration has been desperate to make a nuclear deal with the Iranians again, not because the United States under Biden believes that it's in our best interest to make a nuclear deal with Iran. No, it's all about domestic political consumption is about the idea that he gets a win for something, putting his name on a piece of paper, even if he's Neville Chamberlain and the Mullah's are Hilarion. Put his name on piece paper and he gets the diplomatic win is what Barack Obama did, and he signed an Iran nuclear deal, and then it was told by the media as big win, even though it actually fostered Iranian terrorist regime. Power in the region. Now we have a story and you notice the discrepancy between how the media cover this story and how the media covered. For example, the Saudi killing of democracy. Shaggy was a Muslim Brotherhood Associated Journalists who would write for the Washington Post. Remember.

So we've had the conversations about how important it is community policing. And also Trust within the community is something that a lot of emphasis is placed on with our law enforcement agencies, especially Miami Dade City in Miami Police know that it has been increasingly moving in that direction with BSO. We take a look now, though, at how much progress we might be making generally, Dr Alex del Carmen criminologists and professor Darlington State University, Dr del Carmen. Are we doing any better? When it comes to having police agencies reflected communities they're serving Good morning, Brian. Thanks for having me again. Look, I think that police departments are keenly aware of the fact that most of their departments do not reflect the community that they serve, and this is obviously has been. It's not a new phenomenon is something that's been going on. For years now, But I think that there's more pressuring police departments now that they, in fact, go out there and do a better job in recruiting, particularly minority candidates that are eligible and and ready to join the forces of police and we're doing a little better. We're more aware of it, but I think we have Ah, Long way to go. In hearing lies, right? I mean, this is one of the Real frustrations I have, but at the same time, you know there's a path forward then. Great. You know, I always want when it comes to people in important positions of places. I want the best people. I'm not interested in necessarily the demographics. I want the best people period. And if you have people that aren't stepping up in that want to be part of it. Then isn't necessarily a good trade off to have people that you're having to kind of lure into it that weren't necessarily desirous of that career path to begin with. Yeah. You know, I think that there are plenty of eligible, interested in engaging and academically prepared minorities to join the ranks of law enforcement where you don't have to lower the standards. Recruit minority candidates. I think it's a matter of making the profession more enticing, and quite frankly, with the negativity that's going around the country these days about law enforcement. You know, one of the things that we often see is we ask ourselves. Why would anybody want to join? Local law enforcement, you know entity, given the fact that their pay is not great theory, lack of appreciation by the communities, evidence and the risks are pretty significant. So at the end of the day You know what a lot of these young folks are doing? And I can tell you this having lived in Miami and being raised in Miami. Well, at the same time, I've lived in Texas now for 23 years, the same pattern. Which is young. People are looking for alternatives, you know, in other jobs that pay better are safer and, quite frankly, don't have the negativity that law enforcement has these days with social media. You're articulating my my greatest concern Here is that one day we don't have good people who want to engage the law enforcement anymore. How close are we to being in that place? Well, you know, I think that you know there's there's been a massive exodus of law enforcement in the past few years, and I think we're seeing more of that now combination of factors. Negativity, as I mentioned earlier added to the fact that we've got folks that are just simply eligible and ready to retire. Some of them are seeing the writing on the wall on their retiring early earlier than before, So we're losing a lot of experience police officers and we're having young folks that are coming in the ranks. We found the maturity factor and without the proper mentoring, which is in fact very, very concerning, you know, 5 10 years down the road. We're gonna We're gonna pay the price for all of this. Wow. Okay. Well, I That's a dose of reality. But it's a really does reality that I think is needed. And I appreciate the information the perspective. Dr Alex del Carmen darling to the State University criminal criminologist. Thanks, Alex. Thanks. All right now. Whites so important We keep perspective and That we let law enforcement know how much we appreciate. They do every day. They have an opportunity and for their families to please don't forgive their families. That support is so critical. All right. Today's top three takeaways. Bill Bar is like, Well, the real bill bar. Please stand up. I think he's back. Anyway and on the most important topic that we currently have in our society education. So just yesterday in my top three takeaways, I said this, I said none of this absurdity stops until we retake control of our Children's education. Florida continues to head in the right direction with expanded school choice, the eradication of common core mandatory civics education, But the absurdity presented to us undermining our constitution, our freedoms and our values. That's happening right now. Okay, so almost right on cue in Naples. Will bar had this to say yesterday. The real issue of systemic racism is our public school system in the inner cities.

That is The left is obsessed with one of the things that they're obsessed with is boys competing with girls in high school sports. The Nominee to be secretary of Education is a guy out of Connecticut named Miguel Cardona. He actually has a little bit of experience and education. He's more He's a lefty. He's obsessed with race and gender. But yesterday at his confirmation hearing, this could be cut to Rand. Paul Was asking him about what about boys competing against girls in high school? Sports? Isn't that kind of a problem that you know? His boys are on average, faster, stronger than girls. Just biologically. It's not. I didn't do it. Don't get mad at me. It's just science. There are 99 women for every man asking that a man open that someone else open a jar. Just just for an example. Well, listen to this cut here. The this exchange Rand. Paul really hammers the point and the nominee just doesn't doesn't want to answer because to answer it honestly, is His political suicides, career suicide on the left cut to go ahead. If you think it's fair that have always running in the girl's track me I think it's appropriate because I think it's the legal responsibility of schools to provide opportunities for students to participate in activities, and this includes students who are transgender, so you don't have a problem. Then we're always running in the girl's track, meet swimming maid's name, and you're okay then with always competing with respectfully, Senator, I think I answered the question. I believe schools should offer the opportunity for students to engage in extracurricular activity. Is even if they're transgender. I think that's the right. Right, right? Yeah. No, it should be just anybody. So if you want trophies, boys Go for it. Just declare yours. You don't even have to say that you're a woman. You can say that your gender fluid, so it at any given moment, you could be either or both. Or some third made up option and everybody in the Going to the left is supposed to just go yet. Well, there you go. Makes perfect sense. We shall adjust our pronoun use accordingly. Rand. Paul wasn't done. He wasn't having any. Of it. He pointed out some inconvenient truths and That's why it's largely being ignored by the left is there is no counter To this cut three. Go ahead. A lot of us think that that's bizarre. And I'm not very fair. You know, I come from a family that has a lot of girls who have been completed in college athletics have been state champions. And, frankly, you know, some boy that 6 ft two competing against my 5 ft. Four knees didn't sound very fair. I think most people in the country think it's bizarre. You know, that is just Completely bizarre and unfair that evil and you're going to run the department of Education. You've got no problem with it. That concerns me. And I think this kind of thing is gonna lead to really just the vast majority of America. Just wondering Who are these people that think it's okay from what planet are you from? I mean to think it's okay. That quiz we compete with girls on a track meet that that somehow would be fair. I wonder where feminists are on this. I wonder where the people who supported women's sports are on this. I mean, we all gonna be okay with hooking 6 ft. Four guys, you know, wrestling against girls do it. You know, it just makes no sense whatsoever. And so I think the fact that you seem to be afraid to answer the question or you have basically do answer the question by saying it's okay without saying it's okay. Really is a statement to a real problem we have and disconnect between what Middle America and what most Americans actually believe. Yeah, you think Absolutely can't answer the question. You can't answer this question. And when they do this while you know Sometimes they biological girls to win. Okay? Yeah, absolutely. On average. Men are stronger and faster than women. But there are women who are stronger and faster than some men. Okay, but the strongest Woman. Ever read measured is not nearly as strong as the strongest man ever measured..
