"I think it's much harder to ban it. Much, much, much harder than Bannon. No, I mean, I don't mean to interrupt you. But Ben and got fired from The White House in 2017. I mean, Mark Meadows. Some of the things that Mark Meadows could testify about, he does have a more than a colorable claim, and an absolute claim of privilege. I mean, some of what he does. I mean, not the crime fraud stuff, but no, not the crime fraud so I mean, there are things for which he absolutely has a claim of privilege. There's a lot of stuff that he doesn't have. I mean, there is nothing. There is a, there is a null set of information that Bannon could testify to, which could have a claim of privilege attached to it. So I mean, I disagree with you there. I mean, as Navarro also had a claim of privilege that he could have made, he just didn't, right? He just didn't show up. He just gave two fingers to the committee and said, you know, you have to work it out with Trump. And they were like, that's not how any of this goes. Yeah. No, I think that's right. And I don't disagree with you at all with respect to that. At a distance, I mean, you almost have to admire. I mean, but for the evil, the way in which Mark Meadows has really threaded the needle here, right? Like he went the entire January 6th committee. And as we pointed out on the show, the January 6th committee never once called him out the way you so eloquently called him out, you know, two minutes ago, right? They sort of talked about it and mentioned that he was undocumented, but that they didn't point their fingers at him the way they pointed their fingers at other people that were, you know, less good at it, like one Doctor John eastman. Yeah. I mean, I think that I don't think that Meadows played this particularly intelligently. I mean, he, look, he was cooperating. I mean, if you were playing this smart, would you give them your texts with half of Congress and the Supreme Court Justices? That wasn't a, that wasn't a strategic decision. That was him flailing around. So I don't think that he played it. I mean, I think he played it smart enough not to get indicted. Look, here's a comparable thing because actually Bannon and Navarro made reference to this because they tried to say, we're being unfairly prosecuted because Congress made referrals for both Meadows and scavino to be prosecuted for contempt of Congress and scavino is kind of a better parallel. Scavino didn't have all of this Hamlet and back and forth like I am going to cooperate. I'm not going to cooperate. He just kind of didn't, but he had his lawyer do it, and he engaged enough. He had enough of a colorable claim because he was Trump's comms manservant, basically. That he literally, I think, used to be Trump's golf caddy and he was, you know, he holds Trump's phone and sends out stupid tweets. But okay, he's there in the room all the time. So scavino, scavino had a colorable claim of privilege, and he engaged just enough with the committee to avoid being prosecuted for whatever reason by the Justice Department. So if you're talking about somebody who played it smart, scavino played it smart, Meadows, you know, flopped around and gave them all his texts. Like, that's not smart. I don't think that's smart at all, but you know, whatever. No, you've persuaded me on that as well. Okay, see? We're making progress here. So Meadows has been subpoenaed. What is not clear to me is if Meadows has been talking to the prosecutors leading up to this, and if this is like the culmination of that, and now he's going to say it for the grand jury so that they'll be able to put his information in a presentment or this is the beginning of a protracted fight. I mean, I expect it's the beginning of a protracted fight. I expected he's going to make some assertions of privilege and kind of try and string this out for another two years in hopes that Trump or God knows who Josh hawley is back in The White House. It's Ron DeSantis. He's like, whoever, whoever would happily put on this investigation. But, you know, there's a possibility that he's been talking to them this whole time. He's got representation. I think he has George tu willer. So I don't know, what do you think? I believe that's correct, yeah. I too would like to be an optimist on this, but given Meadows to date given the CPI, I still have him kind of strongly in the villain camp. And I think you're probably on. I would place my wager on the ladder of those two options. How about that? Girl, same. All right, let's talk about this in a little bit. We're going to go to add and we'll be right back. And if we are in for a protracted fight about these subpoenas, there's apparently a lot of fight going on already. CNN has another article about all the ongoing special counsel grand jury kerfuffle at the moment and apparently there's quite a lot. And I would just like to take a second to shout out CNN's Caitlin pollens and Casey gannon, who are the undisputed queens of the stakeout at the federal courthouse in D.C., like you're not getting in either one of those grand jury rooms without these ladies spotting you, so do not even try. Yeah, so yesterday, Holland's ganon and also a reporter Evan Perez had a long post about these pending legal fights. They broke some interesting news. According to their reporting, there are at least 8 secret battles going on at the U.S. district court and circuit court in D.C.. And remember, these filings are under seal because they're pertaining to grand juries and grand juries are secret. Whether secret from everyone but CNN who, by the way, spotted former national security adviser Robert O'Brien at the courthouse this morning as we are recording on Thursday. And he was set to testify before one or both of the special counsel's grand juries, the documents grand jury and the January 6th grand jury, both of which are in session today. And he could be at both because NSA. Yeah, he has to do with documents too. Yeah, although we seems more one thing, right? Like he was interviewed by the one 6 committee and stiff them. Jack Smith, I mean, seems to be making good on that. I'll have this wrapped up by summer promise. I mean, the nice thing is we had two years of, why is Merrick Garland arrested Donald Trump already in at least people have stopped asking that? Yeah, no, I'm good with it. I'm good with it.

There is a question. There is beyond sort of the european continental level. What's going on over the last number of years in the domestic league situation because it seems to me that that sort of separation is is sort of literally bubbling up and are trickling down.

"Know, look through your your plans. Make sure you have things documented. And then you can put it away when the when the weather gets warmer and forget about it, and, you know, live the next 2030 40 50 years, not even thinking about it, but I wanted to go over kind of the basics of an estate plan today and Give people an idea of what some documents doing what they don't do and kind of dispel the myth around the state planning that it's only for very larger states, and I don't really like the term estate planning. I've told you that before, because it sounds a little elitist, you know? And I think that turns some people with with modest estates and just regular amounts of assets off of actually doing anything. Do you have any stats on that or anything that you hear from? Talking to other attorneys, or just being in the business of how many what percentage of adults have either a Willer trust in place versus nothing at all? Well, I think it's easier to look at how many people do not in stats that I have seen over the years. It's more like a good 70 to 80% of people do not have any type of succession plan in place, whether it's the will of trust Any kind of documents so great majority of people do not have any kind of Ah ST plant protection s so that their succession on her transfer of assets upon death. Looking. Our own mortality in the eye is not fun. But I will be among the first to tell you that planning for the end of life does not hasten the actual event in May. I haven't seen that happen. No, you may not feel it. Maybe it will delay it because you don't have to think about it anymore. There you go. A little more peace of mind. I mean, it's hard to tell somebody that on January 30th when it's 12 degrees outside or whatever, but you know, the sun will come out tomorrow. That type of thing, but it is a state planning in just a general non lawyer definition. Is the process of passing on your stuff. It's It's not only your liquid assets and your cash and your bank accounts. But you know your baseball card collection or the guns, the jewelry, the dog dish, whatever it may be. And it's It's the process of passing on. Your stuff doesn't have to be a lot of stuff. The idea of avoiding probate is worthwhile. And so I wanted to. First off. Have you define Neil? What a living trust is and then we'll talk about what it'll do for in a state of what it won't do. You're living trust the document that Ah, it's identity. Our document in which you're the person who creates it is the referred to as a settler, among other terms, but it's a settler. And they are controlling the assets that go into the trust. They also would name their beneficiaries and how they want assets distributed. The nice thing about a living trust is that Any assets that are transferred into the trust. Avoid probate because the density the trust owns the assets rather than the individual. So upon death There's no need for probate because even though the individual who set it up maybe deceased, the trust continues to live. That's why it's called a living trust. And it could be a mandate could be changed over. You know your lifetime, but it certainly is. Ah. Very, um nimble, flexible type of document that certainly changes with your life circumstances. Well, it is. It is a set of iron clad instructions as to what is supposed to happen when you're going And when I say ironclad, let's talk about that. If if you have three kids, and you want to give the majority of your state to two of them because one of them, did you wrong or whatever. I mean, these are situations where we run across all the time. If the third one has a beef. How easy is it, Neil to contest a revokable trust a challenge it and get the results changed Well, The main issue is certainly anybody who As graduates not on who is not happy with the terms of the truck can always file a lawsuit. But the real issue is, is it going to be successful, and it's difficult to Successfully challenge Revokable living trust. Unless you couldn't determine improve that person is better that maybe wasn't didn't have the capacity to set it up. Wasn't mentally stable, um, was unduly influenced, Um things like that which are not easy to prove, so the terms of the trust are You know very, very difficult to successfully challenge. One of my favorite clauses, If not my favorite clause in the trust is the incontestable itty claws. And that one basically says, if someone doesn't like the provisions of the trust that have been made for them and launches a challenge, a formal challenge that an enquiry but Formal challenge, then any gift that may have been included in the trust for them. Is is considered Nolan void. Basically, if you want to challenge it in court, then you're out is that a is that I just love that is there Is that a standard provisions or do you have to ask for it? It's pretty standard. Yeah. It should be includes should be included in the revokable Trust you. I don't know anybody who wouldn't want that. You're right. Right? So now let's talk about something else That has been that has been the case far too many times, actually. When you have a revokable trust you set it up. It says, Who's going to get what and who's going to be in charge of making sure who gets what? And it doesn't have to be. If you have three kids, I'll go back to my three kid example. You don't have to have all three of them be the successor trustees, do you They can still split it three ways, with one person doing the bulk of the work. Right. I mean, beneficiary is just the person is going to receive the assets. The successor trustee is you're referring to the person who would be taking care of the instructions. Uh, usually you could name one person and then they have at least one alternate. And they have at least one alternate. But yeah, it doesn't. That's it's like the executor of her. Well, that's who gets to do the work. What about special needs provisions? If you have we have had a number of cases where you have a child and I use the word child. Loosely, maybe an adult child, You know, 40 50 years old in some cases. That is disabled, receiving state aid and so forth..

"Tell me if these hospital meetings that we're going to raise our price, 3.5 4%. I said nobody pays that price. Well, we know, but that's the way it works. And I I would say nobody other than my dad pays those prices. So Dick feels very fortunate to have learned ethical principles from his family and his dad and grandfather continue to teach him even after they've passed away. I have one other story about my grandfather. Hey, he used to buy a lot of corn. He used by a lot of cattle, corn, whatever. But there was never a contract and the story goes, and this is actually told by the man that had happened with This guy named Willard Cooper from Oakley. Kansas was just starting up in the elevator business. And what happens in the elevator businesses you buy from the farmer. You store it. You gotta cash toe store because you pay for the farmer then. And then after harvest is over. Prices go up because there is no harvest, and then you sell it Cattle theaters like us and Willard Cooper. You know, my my grandfather never met him that he'd always buy corn from him. And every year, Willard would call and say, instead of 10,000 bushels on the 20,000 bushels, and And this that and everything else. And so one year Willer does it. Call it so he calls Willard. And says, Willard, You know I didn't get our call. I I need to buy corn. I gotta have your corn and he said, Well, Mr Mumford, I'm sorry, but I I got a little sideways. I guy that I sold some corn,.

"Can you hear me? I got you a lot and clear what's going on with you. Okay, Well, I've got a piece of property that I was gonna put like 1/5 Willer camper on. But then I come across these things that are called, like mobile part. Uh, They're like an RV, but meant to beam or more permanent. You don't have to move him as much. Do you know anything about those? I mean, is there better plumbing in them or or what's the deal? Well there. There's a familiar in the Phoenix area. They call him Park models. Is that what you're thinking of Ed? Yeah. Yeah, that's it. The park models. They're kind of like RV type slash mobile homes. On. They're on, you know, foundations were there. They're not just sitting on the wheels. They put him on foundations, and then they have what they down in the down in Arizona. They have what they call in Arizona Room, which is kind of a screened in porch. Got a sun room kind of thing, And there's a lot of them in a senior citizens moved down there and you know on these, you could buy them. I think down there and some, of course, you have to pay a monthly lot rent. Um, I would think, And this isn't Fremont County down where you are now. Yeah. Yeah. I think you would have to check with the county county authorities to see if they would allow that. There. There is a you know, a tiny house movement. Have you been reading about that? Oh, yeah, I've heard about that. Yeah. So this is a similar kind of idea. Only these wouldn't be quite as expensive. But it is a way to Yeah, I mean, You say the plumbing and electrical I mean, just think of an RV, The plumbing and electrical is okay. But that's kind of what you're dealing with. Here. You might consider If the zoning allows it you might consider you out of the country you're talking about. Are you Ed on the city somewhere? Well, I have a I have a piece of property that out in the country. It's a pretty remote and I'm just gonna take this and kind of leave it there. I was thinking about like a fist will, but they're like three times the cost of his park models. Yeah, I'm trying to. I'm just trying to do a little research and I heard you on the radio and I won't wonderful. Yeah, well, I'm glad you called his air, water and sewer out there, or is it just a bare piece of ground? It's a septic and I've got water rights. I'm gonna drill a well out there. Oh, very good. Well, I would think that from a standpoint of getting some rent. And value. You might think about some kind of a mobile, a mobile home that should put on you know, some kind of a semi permanent foundation. There's lots of ways to do that is, you know, usually they're they're tied down on concrete blocks was skirting around them and and those air. Are you can get pretty good rent for those these days. That might be another posit doesn't have to be a brand new one. There's a you know you'll have to look around some, but I know there's a secondary market for used Mobile homes, depending on what kind of rent you think you'd get a single wide or a double wide. I think a double wide would be more desirable by most families. So that's another possibility for you. Those little park models. They're kind of smallish. And they're kind of made, you know they're very ideal for a senior citizen couple. But if you wanted to rent and get a family out there where you could make some decent rental income, I might think of some kind of a mobile home situation. So if you thought about that also Yeah. Yeah, I did. I just kind of curious because they're they're kind of gradual. You know, they're not as well built is like the double wide, you know? No, No, They're not factored home, So, Yeah, they're they're sort of it. They're sort of like an RV, but not really. If you get what I mean, Yeah, they're kind of a cross and and, you know, I guess I guess it would work. But I'm not sure I'd be worth all the effort based on Are you gonna assume you want to read whatever you put out there? You want to rent it out? Is that right? No, This is just a little getaway thing. And the reason I was parked models because it's a single deck. You don't have the stairs going up to the kitchen. Or just if it was just for you and your family. Yeah, I think that might work for you. I was, I thought I don't know what got in my head here about you wanted to actually get some rental income on this property. But no, I think that might be And if it's just a weekend getaway Um, yeah, I think it would be worth checking out. You could do your own version of an Arizona room for another. Summers are very pleasant down in Canyon City. Have a little porch off to the side. Yeah, I would. I would check that out. What kind of numbers that you're seeing in terms of investment for these things. Like for 1/5 will those you can't really get into for less than like 50,000 and she's 30 32 tow. 44 ft ones. They started 13,000. Yeah, And I'm wondering why. What's what's, uh, what's the construction difference, and it doesn't really look like there's much other than the park models are on like the flat deck where you don't have to walk upstairs all the time to either a bedroom or a kitchen. Well, it's the quality of construction is going to be similar. As I say, two to a cross between a mobile home and an RV, and I would I would be careful. You know, you have to do a lot of homework. But I would the first stop I would make is that the down the zoning department And see if they would even allow that and they would allow it. But under what conditions what they wanted to be, you know, on wheels with the allow you to put a foundation down because there are some some county standards. I know because they're concerned about when you know when the loading and And fire and that kind of thing, so I would stop down and just do do a little research with the zoning people. Because I I mean, you wouldn't want a situation Edward. They'd come in and say, You've got to get rid of it type thing. So, uh, if you're going to use it as a temporary thing, maybe it's going to be on wheels. That would be one thing. But if you're gonna permanently located on that property, you need to run it by them. Well, Yeah, I know Some of the manufacturers who make these They make it with the removable tongue. So all you gotta do it, but skirting around it if you need to call it permanent. So Yeah, there's there's there's little loopholes that they come up with to kind of get around some of the building codes. If you're not the laws If you were to jack it up and put in on Stan shins and concrete blocks and whatever it and was substantial tie downs, the county might be okay. With it. They're concerned about wind and the way you get the wind resistance is some real..
Beyond The Baseline
Longtime ATP Tour Insider Weller Evans
"Everyone John. With was were so streaming tennis podcast everyone twelve, our guest as we do Beller Evan any insider will recognize sellers name the consummate timoth insider he worked for the ATP Tour for many years his. Was Tour Manager for the most part, but he also was. A fixer, a pragmatists they council guidance counselor. One of the tour employees who work with the players week in week out was in the locker room and really knows that the mechanics of tennis mechanic of the tour better than anyone he also briefly served on the. Board, last year and part of this year. So this is a a wide ranging conversation with a crew tennis. Insider we talk a bit about tennis in twenty twenty the we talk about this more stories from. Welders career in also been about how to get into tennis There are roles into score even if. You do not hit a ball at a professional level and weller someone who spent his whole career in tennis and only a few of those as a player. So here's a wide ranging conversation with a true tennis insider. Here's Willer Evans first of all Weller Evans thank you for. Thank you for doing this I appreciate this. Model John It's It's a pleasure. I have to congratulate you in that You know it's to be quite Khuda get both Jerry. Seinfeld, and Weller Evans. As interviews within a month of one another. Low Bar just make a few jokes in Yiddish and everyone everyone goes home. Happy. No but we passed up no opportunity to talk tennis and I was saying in the Intro I feel like you are. You're the perfect person to help make some sense of these strange times because you are someone, it's always understood the mechanics and have the insider perspective. and. Our Voice of reason and I figured I wanNA hear a bit about your backstory in some sort of historic progressives. But but help us make sense of tennis in Twenty Twenty How How are you sensing? This is going and what's your take on sort of gray tennis in this work around year? Well I think we're fortunate to be playing tennis at all and to actually have had. Three of the four slams played. This year I think is a remarkable accomplishment. Don't you? Yep Absolutely. especially. Given the challenges of of tennis compared to other sports You know it's it's not it's not as simple as. You, you've got thirty teens in everyone's GonNa, lock themselves in a bubble together. To, two hundred and fifty six players from all over the world is is a big challenge. What do you make about the rest of it? I? Mean we have. Cologne one in Cologne to this week, which sounds like Competing. Hugo boss. Fragrance collection we have carry over points we have. To joke of, it's not playing Paris because he's disincentivize because of the point structure what's your take on? Tennis outside of outside of the three majors we were able to play. Well just. To sort of focus for a second on the ranking system. And and what we had to do and I apologize in advance for referring. To. The ATP as we but when you work for an Organization for twenty five years and you stay so closely connected to it it's inevitable that you end up referring to what they do as as we but. You know. The ranking system has to be addressed. Once we took such a long off from tournaments. and. You enter. That challenge you know with the premise that there's not going to be a perfect system. Heck. Probably, our current ranking system is not perfect. But realizing that there's probably not even an optimum way to accomplish all that needs to be accomplished. So is it? It really was a challenge for sure but You know I think the ATP's priority was always to. Try to continue to have a fair and accurate evaluation of. Player on court performance, which also has credibility with our fans and I think if you look at the rankings as they currently stand I, think the ADP has accomplished. You know accomplish that goal. With Roger. Not Be fit enough to play the world tour finals I would. Like to think that a a guy who's been really hot since we return to the court Andrei Rubel who actually was was. INFLA-. Go even before the suspension is going to make the world tour finals I'm sure there are people who? Are. Going ask. Why Medvedev? is going to be in there when he hasn't really. You. Duplicated. The success that he had last year an-and. CARNOT boost has. Left back into everybody's consciousness and. He may or may not make it to London. So I'm sure they'll be people who. You might question that but I think on the whole the ranking system and the rankings that we have currently even given the the cogut accommodations that were made. With with our fats.
How I Built This
How I Built Resilience With Brian Chesky of Airbnb
"Hey everyone and welcome to how I built. This resilience edition on these episodes were talking with entrepreneurs and business leaders about how they're adapting to these difficult economic times and today show we're going to hear from Brian Chess the CEO and Co founder of Airbnb back in twenty sixteen, we spoke with Brian's Co founder Joe Gebbie at, and he told the amazing story of how they founded and built the company, and if you haven't heard it, be sure to check it out. Now, of course, we are in a very different time and a few months ago Brian wrote a letter to the entire staff. AIRBNB letting them know that twenty five percent of the company was going to be laid off. This has been by far for us. The most difficult thing that we've experienced since we started the company a dozen years ago and I think join us to talk about how starting airbnb basically this idea that like strange who live each other live with each other like that was the hardest thing we were ever GonNa do it was like pushing a rock hill and it turned out that trying to run a company that does travel preparing to go public in the middle of pandemic is about as hard. And then doing all via Zoom Ios, even more difficult. I think that what people want right now just more fundamentally is connection is like the thing that we've always wanted we want connection to each other and now you have to fight for it. You know you have to make a conscious effort for it get on the one hand I'm closer to some people I've ever been in my life probably closer to my life co-founders donate we talk all the time and when you're going through crazy periods of time, it has a way of bringing you closer together but also has a way of making your bubble a little bit smaller and that's probably what's happened for me. Yeah. You you wrote a letter to your employees that is posted publicly that letter is was remarkable. It was so transparent. You had to lay off a quarter of your employees in May and you could see how painful it was for you to write that letter it was extremely transparent. You described the process for how you had to make the hard decision But also you know that every employee would receive fourteen weeks of of pay plus Severinsen insurance for a year and they keep their laptops and there were resources to help the employees Kind of walk me through how you how you came to to write that letter and How you kind of dealt with that just emotionally. Yeah there is no playbook. To lay people off in that's the kind of thing that if there was a playbook, you should never use it because the thing that people want more than anything. They want humanity they want compassion and that means that you need to treat people like like people like individually not robotically you know when the crisis happened, we felt in mid March it was pretty serious. We spent twelve years building airbnb in the we lost eighty percent of business in eight weeks. You know we're one of the success stories right and then suddenly eight weeks there's. All sorts of concerns articles willer survive never thought. I'd read an article like that. And we made a lot of hard decisions. We I cut enormous cost. We cut over a billion dollars plan marketing spend. We quickly raised two billion dollars. It's not easy to raise two billion dollars. It's more difficult to raise two billion dollars from your travel company. It's a pandemic and you've lost eighty percent business eight weeks. The people get nervous thankfully we had some great investors step up but we had to do that deal that was like over the course of seventy two hours still like get the deal done it was the. Fastest deal thing from have ever done and they've ever done. So before that layup even happened, I wrote a couple principals and I said, we have a hunt handful of stakeholders we have to I. Make sure that we act quickly in with all stakeholders. Remind we're going to be remembered probably for how he handled this crisis Andy Grove this famous entrepreneur said bad comes destroyed by crisis good company survive crisis in great companies thrive or are defined by crisis I said, we're not going to be the kind of company will be destroyed by this. We're GONNA try to take each of our stack holders and when we got to the employees, we basically had exhausted options having raised two billion dollars. We came to the conclusion that we would have to lay off when we confronted to hard truth the hard truth number one was this that we did not know when trouble would return nobody did and the second thing we knew is that when travel would return, it would look fundamentally different than the travel before the pandemic and so our business would have to look different and we'd have. To change the shape of our business that we focused on, and so then we just realized that we had to approach this with a sense of humanity said we should be as generous as we possibly could be in not less generous than that. Why would you do that until we came up with a handful of things that we did to try to help people in this very difficult time We did a fourteen sevens puts a week pre or service we felt like well, this is a health crisis people need health insurance, and so we made sure that everyone had at least one year of health insurance even after ever getting laid off one of the things that I'm most proud of that our team came up with Joe in the team came to me and they said, you know what? We have a recruiting team maybe we dedicate a percentage of the recruiting team to outplacement for the people

A Moment of Science
TESS Of The Exoplanets
"Willer site is finally going to find Ilian see patient on astronomers of compared finding evidence of aliens among the stars to finding a needle in a haystack. If they understand the haystack better their searches stand, a better chance planets circle other stars are called Exo planets. It's very important to learn more about them. That's why NASA launched the transiting Exo planet survey, satellite, or tests into eighteen but already searched for earth like exoplanets Kepler space telescope, they found that small rocket exit planets are fairly common some of these planets might be like earth tests is taking the next step beyond Kepler in some ways the two spacecraft are alike. Both detect planets using the transit method this measures the small dip in light intensity that happens. An extra planet passes in front of its parents star, but Kepler could only monitor one small patch of the sky and many of the planets at found were far away tests on the other hand has the ability to study the whole sky. And its mission is to search for planets around five hundred thousand bright nearby stars, the goal is to find nearby exit planets with conditions, potentially suitable for life resumed can resent spacecraft to those nearby exit planets now because they're still too far away to reach with current technology. What astronomers hope is that the next generation of space based telescopes will be able to tell the composition of the atmospheres of the relatively nearby Exo planets that tests fines, they'll be looking for atmosphere bio signatures combinations of gases. That might indicate that life is present moment of science come from Indiana University. I'm Don glass. I'm Yahya Cassandra.
