Podcasts about Green Army

The podcast that no one wanted but everyone was secretly expecting. How to dissect an encouraging, yet ultimately meaningless, win.Archie, Chris, Drew and Mark are joined — heroically — by Preston fan and pod host Josh McLoughlin in Part 1. Inevitably, the focus is on Luton's Laurel and Hardy-style 90th-minute winner, which had a huge impact on both teams just 30 minutes before kick-off.Argyle rode their luck, Preston ran out of ideas, and somehow dragged themselves back into relegation trouble. Is it worse to be pulled into the battle at the last minute, or to have been stuck in it for five months? What can a head coach realistically say when asked about his future?Either way, it's 2–1 to the League One Boys — as serenaded by the magnificent Green Army, who are rightly praised after a standout performance in the stands on such an unusual and ultimately disappointing day.Part 2 sees thoughts turn to League One and potential retained players. Who will stay, who will go, what will Muslic do — and will he even still be here? None of us have any real idea, of course, but it's good therapy.Finally, we look ahead to Leeds and one last game in the second tier.For now, anyway.COYGSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

If ever a game proved that football isn't just about winning, this was it. Alex, Archie, Chris, and Mark have the unusual task of celebrating a noble 3-1 defeat at the Etihad.Part One focuses on the match itself. A solid, organised first-half performance, crowned by a moment for the ages—scored by the magnificent Ukrainian—that even an equaliser couldn't diminish. Discussion covers the huge culture shift, resilience, the stellar performance of the 8,000-strong Green Army, and the fact that even in defeat, there was so much to admire. Pride doesn't even begin to cover it, without a sliver of tinpot.Part Two looks ahead to the final 12 games of the season and Tuesday's huge trip to Hull. Critical on paper—is it a must-win, a must-not-lose, or do recent performances against stronger sides make it just another cup final? Special praise goes to Pleggy's contract extension and what it means for us all, as well as a reminder that players are human beings too.We hope we've done it justice.To Hull and Beyond…Support the show Hosted on Acast.

“Oh Bobby, Bobby…”Winning promotion in your first game in charge isn't a bad way to introduce yourself to the Green Army. That is exactly what Bobby Williamson did in April 2004.His 504 days in charge of Argyle certainly were eventful. From that magical day against QPR, to beating Sunderland, Wigan and Reading in the Championship; signing Taribo West and then losing his job six days into a new season. Some of the stories of Bobby Williamson's career at Home Park are well worth a listen.Now out in Kenya, having stepped away from football he's had time to reflect on what has been a wholly successful career in the game.This is the story of Bobby Williamson.

We're joined by journalist, Takudzwa Pongweni to take us into this past week's The Gathering. Then, are local news publications suffering because of tech giants? Has X become a safe space for cyberbullies? One activist says: yes. Later, Nigeria comes down hard on plastic pollution, but is it the best solution? And Gauteng's Green Army is uplifting communities one veggie garden at a time.

Hey folks! Thanks for joining us again for Connecting the Dots! This week we have a special feature. I recently appeared on the show Geopolitical Trends with David Oualaalou and we wanted to share this conversation with you. We're sure you will love it. Next week we will be back with a normal installment of Connecting the Dots with me, Dr Wilmer Leon. Episode Summary: It is becoming more evident that the era of western global dominance is coming to an end. For the last few decades, the collective West succeeded in dividing the world into their “vassals” and those they call a “rogue country” or “authoritarian regime,”. Yet, reality on the ground demonstrates the Western collapse as inevitable. Join me live 2/23/24 @ 1900 (CST) for this fascinating conversation with Dr. Wilmer Leon as he deciphers for us what this collapse entails.   Dr. David Oualaalou: Dr. David Oualaalou is a geopolitical analyst, author, speaker. Award winning education, veteran, and a former international security analyst in Washington DC. In addition to analysis of security policy and intelligence, advice on security operations, leadership and managerial responsibilities, and successful advice on foreign military threats, economic trends, and security issues, David served high-profile U.S. military and civilian officials. He's the founder of Global Perspective Consulting. David consults with organizations on a range of issues such as regional tensions, ethnic and ideological hostilities, trade and economic conflicts, energy supplies, technology, food, as well as threats to human security, and activities of non-state actors.

And I'm Wilmer Leon. Here's the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they occur in a vacuum, failing to understand the broader historical context in which they occur. During each episode, my guests and I have probing, provocative, and in-depth discussions that connect the dots between current events in the broader historic context in which they occur. This enables you to better understand and analyze the events that impact the global village in which we live. Announcer (00:44): Connecting the dots with Dr. Wilmer Leon, where the analysis of politics, culture, and history converge. Dr David Ouallaalou (00:51): And welcome to geopolitical trends. Where to root matters. Let me bring in my guest, Dr. Wilmer. Leon. Good evening. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:01): Good evening, David. How are you? Dr David Ouallaalou (01:02): Good, sir. How are you? First of all, I want to say thank you for carving out time for me. You are a busy man during the week with all your talks around the country, and I am very grateful to you. I want you to know this on behalf of the entire community. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:17): Well, I'm incredibly humbled that you would invite me to this program, so it's my honor and pleasure. Thank you. Well, Dr David Ouallaalou (01:24): It's always my pleasure. Also, the reason guys just FYI. Here's one of the reasons why the moment I found out that Dr. Leon was available to this, I get so excited. Why? It's because I want you to know there are voices of reason inside the United States. There are voices of logic inside the United States, and I want you to hear it directly from someone whom I trust, first of all. And second, not only given his background as a political scientist, someone who understand the ins and outs of how foreign policy is structured and how the world operates. But I'm going to just give you a brief description about Dr. Weer Leon. Dr. Weer. Leon III is a political scientist for 11 years. He was a lecturer in the political science department at Howard University and has also taught at Morgan State University. He is also the host producer of Inside the Issues. It is also a nationally broadcast radio talk show on Cyrus SM Channel 1 26 for those who live in the United States, as well as he's also the co-host of the critical Hours with none other than Garland Nixon, by the way. So Dr. Leon is a nationally syndicated columnist with the Trace News wire and a regular contributor to over 200 newspapers and websites across the country. Dr. Leon can also be seen as a regular contributor and on international television news programs such as Press TV and RT tv. His latest book is Politics, another Perspective. Welcome, Dr. Leon. Dr Wilmer Leon (03:12): Thank you. Thank you. I greatly appreciate that. Dr David Ouallaalou (03:14): Alright, all you guys are in for a ride as far as understanding what's going on. Let's start with this weer, if I may. Sure. I would like you to give my audience here and the whole community your perspective about the state of affairs in the United States. I know Dr Wilmer Leon (03:40): The state of affairs in the United States at this point in time in the context of domestic politics is in a state of turmoil. And not only is it in a state of turmoil, but I think it is in an incredible state of decline. I say turmoil because if you look within the Republican Party, for example, they are in the midst of an incredible internal fight, internal struggle. For the last two days, I've been listening to as much as I could and as much as I can tolerate listening to the CPAC conference and what you seem to have going on right now at the CPAC Conference, the Conservative Political Action Committee is the Trump Wing of the party challenging what we'll call the established order of the Republican Party. And what I mean by that is Donald Trump and his acolytes are attacking people like Lindsey Graham and more importantly, what's his name from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell, and that ilk. (04:59) And they're not only really debating political ideology, they're not debating policy. These are becoming incredibly vehement, incredibly personal attacks. And they are, because for example, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy engaged in some negotiations with the Democrats according to the Maga. Trumpian folks, negotiation is off limits, and that's not hyperbole. These are the things that they're saying. These are some of the bases of the condemnations of the Republican party. And so when I listened to the CPA conference, when I listened to the rhetoric coming out of the CPAC conference, it's incredibly, incredibly dangerous. It's incredibly, incredibly concerning. On the other side of the aisle, I say that that's just as volatile as the Republicans. It's just not being articulated as clearly and as the Republicans are. And what I've seen, and I believe, I think what we are seeing is a move away from the stereotype of Democrats as being focused on peace, focused on the social welfare, focused on social programs. (06:41) They have moved so far to the right that the Democrats are now the ones that are championing more funding for Ukraine. The Democrats are the ones that are championing more money to back the genocide in Gaza. And so to a great degree, the Republicans and the Democrats are two wings just about on the same bird. It's incredibly, incredibly concerning. And finally, the Democrats are not listening to their constituents because when you look at the polling data, the polling data says that an overwhelming number of Americans and an overwhelming number of Democrats want an end to the conflict in Gaza, an overwhelming number of Americans, an overwhelming number of Democrats wanting an end to the conflict in Ukraine, and I could go on and on and on, but the policies that are being articulated by President Biden, by Kamala Harris, by some of the old guard like Nancy Pelosi, they are totally out of step with their constituents and they don't seem to care. Dr David Ouallaalou (08:04): Okay? And by the way, we're going to be addressing Ukraine as we move along with this. So it is just for my viewers who just joining me here, I'm having a conversation with Dr. Wilmer Leon. We're going to be addressing a host of foreign policy issues. I just want at least the audience to hear from someone domestically that they are voices of reason, as I mentioned earlier, someone who understand the ins and outs of how the American politics operates and to give us the perspective about the foreign policy that is emanating from that. So let's me just move into, first of all, I want to say thank you to CJ for your super sticker. Truly appreciate it. cj, thank you so much. And I will address your comment later on. So I want to know your input weer as far as American foreign policy that we have been noticing, at least as one who worked in Washington back then and even back then, I started to notice that there is no cohesiveness in our foreign policy. Why is that? Why are we losing sight of what's need to be done, what the right thing to do? Dr Wilmer Leon (09:20): Well, because I think the right thing to do, the definition of the right thing to do has shifted from a moral human base to an economic elite base and from the United States perspective, as the United States has been involved in the de-industrialization of the country in order to provide for pursue greater markets, to pursue lower labor rates, all for the interest of the elite in this country, that same mindset has also been very dominant in international politics. And I say that clearly understanding that economics, political economy, that economics has been driving the policy for an inordinate amount of time. I understand that. But even with that, there was at least an articulation of concern for human rights. There was an articulation of concern for the ecology, and now unfortunately, so much of that seems to now have taken a backseat and sheer greed is now dominating the policy. As an example, the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, the intentional de-industrialization of Germany, I almost said Republicans, the Democrats supporting genocide in Gaza, all of these, there was a time in the world when other countries would turn to the United States for leadership as it related to the social order. Now, the United States has abdicated that history. It has abdicated that mindset, and it's now just straight greed. Let's take as much as we can for as long as we can. Dr David Ouallaalou (11:47): Well, I look at it like yesterday, the vote at the United Nations Security Council. I mean to me as American, and I am sure, maybe I can't speak for you well here, but I was ashamed, I'll say it because it pained me to see how my country is behaving on the global stage by being the only country that vetoed humanitarian assistance, which to me was like, what the heck? What's going on? You can't do that just because the world has lost credibility in our ability to do the right thing. So to me, it's kind of like it's too late for that. So we can't, Dr Wilmer Leon (12:30): Lemme just quickly add to that because as part of that, you now have African-Americans becoming the face of the articulation of those policies. Linda Thomas Greenfield at the UN as an African-American woman backing genocide. You've got Kamala Harris as an African-American woman and the vice president of the United States going down to Racom, trying to convince Jamaica and some of the other Racom countries to be the face of the United States invasion or re invasion of Haiti, Lloyd Austin going to Kenya to create and foster this joint military security arrangement, convincing Kenya to be the forces on the ground going into Haiti. So the African-American faces that are being used as the cover of American imperialism is also incredibly disturbing. Dr David Ouallaalou (13:39): Well, that is the problem. That's why I put the title when the collapse of the Western liberal order, because this is almost not just at the United States. You look at the so-called democracies, all of them are behaving. I mean, we've seen what's going on in Europe. I have some viewers in some members of the community here from Europe, and they are sharing information with me as to they don't understand why their governments are behaving the way they are behaving. That defies logic what happened to the moral standing that at least the west was known for. We say one thing and do the opposite. That's to me problematic for us. Most of us Americans, they just don't understand the ins and outs of how Washington operates. And I found it very, very, very troubling. So I want to move the conversation to two main topics. One of them has to do with China. The one has to do with Russia. So let's start with China, shall we? Okay. I'd like to get your input weer as to how do you see American foreign policy towards China? What I mean by this is that on the paper we are recognizing one China policy, two systems, but in action we are doing the opposite. So why are we fermenting tensions into Taiwan straight to get to China? What for Dr Wilmer Leon (15:14): A couple of things. One is I believe since the end of World War ii, the United States has always felt that it needs a boogeyman in order to continue the perpetuation of the military industrial complex in order to continue directing limited American resources away from social spending to militarism so that the Raytheons of the world, the Lockheed Martins of the world, the Boeings of the world, can continue to generate incredible profit. Those that represent those interests have had to convince the American people that America is always under threat. So that's I think, an important factor in the equation. Another factor in the equation is the development and the very strong growth of the Chinese economy. And China was once just the manufacturing depot for the United States, and now China has taken the lead in terms of research and development in a number of areas. The Belt and Road initiative has enabled China to expand its reach and its influence all over the globe. (16:59) And the United States sees that economic threat in military terms. And so that's another reason why there's all this jingoistic and militaristic language, this anti-China language as in the west. And then I think there are just some hardcore straight up racists that have been anti-China for a very long time. In fact, there are those who will say that China is the real fear and the way to get to China is through Russia. There are a number of elite that have believed that for a very long time. So there are a number of factors that contribute to the militarism, the violation of the one China policy and this ongoing threat that the United States keeps engaging in as it relates to China. Dr David Ouallaalou (18:03): But is it the problem, if I understand it correctly, is it the problem that because we cannot compete with China is that while we are fermenting those kind of tensions is because we are realizing technologically China is moving ahead? I mean, I've been keeping my eyes on the chip industry. I'm aware that China is in the process of developing or sort of perfecting the four nano tech for the chips. I mean, is it the problem because we cannot compete with that. Dr Wilmer Leon (18:39): I've had this conversation with a number of guests on my shows, and I don't like to use the term that we cannot compete. I think it is a clearer, we chose, we didn't see the need to compete because of these warped concepts such as manifest destiny and American internationalism and American exceptionalism. America has always seen itself as the best and the brightest, and everybody else is just everybody else. Well, China made a conscious decision, I want to say it was probably coming out of the eighties, that they were no longer going to be viewed as the sick man of Asia, which is how they used to not only be referred, but in many instances that's how they saw themselves. And so they decided that that was no longer going to be their reality. And so they changed their self perception in changing their self perception. They decided that they were going to play a different role in international dynamics. And so with a government that plans their economy, they were able to chart for themselves courses of progress because they're not a strictly capitalist country. All of the profit that was made from the things that they did, they didn't just put those profits in the hands of investors, they reinvested those profits into the development of their country. They focused on abject poverty in China, bringing over how many millions of people. Actually Dr David Ouallaalou (20:44): It was about 800, Dr Wilmer Leon (20:46): About 800 million. Dr David Ouallaalou (20:47): That's what I read, yes, Dr Wilmer Leon (20:48): About 800 million. They have been able to bring about 800 million people out of abject poverty over, I want to say it's about the last 15 or 20 years. Whereas homelessness in the United States is on the rise. So China has made a conscious decision to change self perception, to change its world dynamics. The United States has been focused on, capitalism, has been focused on the rights of the individual, not really paying attention, not really being concerned about the value of the whole. And so that is why now you see the wealth disparity in the United States being what it is, it's on the rise, and that is contributing greatly to the demise of the United States. Dr David Ouallaalou (21:47): And that's probably why Washington is in sort of living in denial, does not one accept the reality that the geopolitical landscape has shifted. Dr Wilmer Leon (21:59): In fact, let me give you one very real simple example that everybody here that has a cell phone will understand about probably 15 years ago, China reached out to the United States as China was developing 5G technology, and they reached out to the United States and they said, we would like for this to be a collective collaborative effort. Will you work with us going to their win-win strategy? That's not just a worn trope, that is a stated, established policy of the Chinese government. And so they reached out to the United States and they asked the United States, will you work with us on this 5G technology? And the United States said, no, we're going to do it ourselves. China said, fine. And what did they do? They created 5G. As we move towards the internet of things and the interconnectivity between say your cell phone and your car and your cell phone and your refrigerator and all these other things, China moved that technology. China is now, I want to say into six G, and the United States is crying foul, trying to prevent China from introducing 5G technology around the world because the United States realizes not only from a consumer perspective, but from a military perspective, being able to communicate at that level puts the United States at an incredible disadvantage. So that's just one example of how the United States is digging its own grave. Dr David Ouallaalou (23:42): Well, you are spot on weer, because I was aware of two cases, one of them in Europe, the other one is in India. The one in Europe is that some governments, including the UK and Germany were behind closed doors, were forced not to even allow 5G in their network. India went ahead and said to China, no, we don't want 5G because we pressured India to do so. Dr Wilmer Leon (24:07): And just a final point there is that the United States has gone around the world and has persuaded a number of companies, countries to pull out their Huawei to pull out their huawe routers and replace their Huawei routers with I think Motorola and some other US-based routers to the disadvantage of those countries. And Britain, for one, lost billions of dollars replacing their Huawei technology. Dr David Ouallaalou (24:44): Well, the next thing that I'm seeing coming Wilmer is the electric vehicles that China dominates the markets both in the US and the eu, but the US most likely is going to put that ban. You know how it is? They're going to say, no, no, no, no, you cannot. It's because the cost. I read the characteristics of BYD electric vehicle in comparison to that of Tesla. And when it came out to the cost $75,000 for Tesla versus $28,000, which one are you going to pick? I mean, for us, every citizen can afford $75,000 electric car. It ain't going to work. Dr Wilmer Leon (25:26): Not only the cost, but the quality of the product is also better. And one of the reasons why the United States that Joe Biden is now changing the US position on EV also has to do with the labor issue. And the unions in this country are afraid of losing jobs if the United States increases the production of electric vehicles. That was all a big part of the fallout with the negotiation with the UAWA few months ago. So instead of the United States investing in the infrastructure to make electric vehicles not only profitable, but to make convenient if the United States invests in the, if the United States looks towards the future, understands the future, and stops trying to control the future, and were to invest in infrastructure, making electric vehicles not only profitable but convenient, that could change the whole dynamic and put the United States on a totally different trajectory. But the United States, we can look at things as simple as seat belts and vehicles. The United States fought tooth and nail to put seat belts in. There are a number of things when it comes to the auto industry that the United States auto industry had to be brought into the future kicking and screaming because they wanted to stay stuck in the past. Dr David Ouallaalou (27:17): Interesting. Before we move into another one, I want to go back to China again, and the reason being because I had a chance to read up the summary of the Pentagon strategic, what did they call it? Strategic policy for Asia. Of course, it's all geared towards China. I had a chance to look at also the one in Canada. What I found very interesting, weer, just to share this with you all, is that Canada, Germany, and Japan, in addition to the us but the US was separate. Those three countries all share a common terminology as far as their strategic Asia policy. They all aimed at China. And the reason I want to bring this back because I want to get your input for the viewers to also know something about it. Are we looking at a military confrontation between the US and China? Because apparently we're not willing to accept the reality that an ascending power, it's going to replace a sitting power. And this way it comes with the trap theory. I'm sure you're familiar with it. Are we looking at a conflict here? Military? Dr Wilmer Leon (28:34): I sure hope and pray that we don't because that is a conflict that the United States cannot win, and it could result in the end of the world as we know it. I think what the United States is trying to do is it'ss trying to flex its muscle. It's trying to bluff China into acquiescence, and that's just not going to happen. Hence, the United States has just announced that it's sending five of its 11 aircraft carrier groups into the Pacific, and the United States hasn't won a conflict since World War ii. Dr David Ouallaalou (29:21): That's Dr Wilmer Leon (29:21): True. Folks need for as much as the United States spends on its military, not only domestically, but power projection with its however many hundred of bases around the world and all that other kind of stuff that we have. You Dr David Ouallaalou (29:41): Want the exact number? Walmart, please. Dr Wilmer Leon (29:43): 756, 756 basis. We haven't won a conflict other than Grenada and Panama, the military giant called Panama. We haven't won a military conflict since World War ii. That's correct. And so the United States believes that by sending carrier groups into the South China Sea, that somehow China is going to quake in its boots and acquiesce and fall in line with the dictates and the demands of the United States. And I remember when the United States sent, I think it was the Gerald Ford Aircraft carrier group into the Mediterranean Sea President, this was just a month ago or a month and a half ago. President Putin said, president Biden, why did you send that aircraft carrier into the Mediterranean Sea? Don't you realize you're not scaring anybody? These people don't scare. And by the way, we can sink it with our kenza hypersonic missiles from here. So what are you doing? And I think that same thing applies to China because they have the hypersonic missile technology that has been tested and proven. I don't know that Iran has, if they've tested it, I don't know that the results of those tests have been made public. But I have read, I'm sure you have, that Iran has developed hypersonic missile technology. The United States is outgunned and doesn't even realize it. (31:58) The warfare now has changed to more asymmetrical than what the United States is used to. And I hope asymmetrical is the right term has it's no longer we're going to put the Green Army and the green uniforms and the blue Army and the blue uniforms and let them march across the turf. And no, that's old school stuff. But that's the mentality that a lot of people in the United States believe is a winning strategy. And what we're, look, the Ansar Allah has changed international shipping. Ansar Anah in Yemen has been able to change the dynamic of international shipping with missiles that cost $2,000. Dr David Ouallaalou (32:51): Yep, it's true. It is true. It is true. And this is where I see, I mean for me now, I'm observing what's going on in Asia. I will be going to Asia soon in a few months, and I intend to see things with my own eyes. One of the things that I am concerned about seeing how these tensions is being rat up, for example, you look at what Naro has announced about opening an office in Tokyo, and the first question that comes to mind is, what the heck what for you? Look at what the Philippines signed the military agreement with the US right after it is what I found very troubling. Right after Marco Jr's trip to almost, I felt like he was given a lip service to presidency, went back to Manila, signed an agreement with the US to allowing five bases. Actually, the truth were about nine bases, only five were declared and four were not. And I believe as a former military, those four is going to be hosting some advanced weapons that even Filipinos wouldn't even know. Then you look at Australia, it's being synced into that trap. Then you look at New Zealand going into that direction, and of course, Japan and South Korea. So all this gives me an idea or a science right on the wall that we really want to have a conflict with China one way or another. Dr Wilmer Leon (34:24): We think we do, but that's a fight that it is a bad idea logistically. How are we going to travel 3000 miles around the world and think that we're going to be able to support a conflict of that nature, even with the basis that we do have in the region? Those things have to be supported. The logistics of this would be a nightmare. Not to mention just the, in fact, I want to say that the Department of Defense has run simulated war games over the last eight or nine months, 25 times in the United States. Lost every time. Wow. I want to say that again. Simulated war games that our own Pentagon has run the numbers. They've entered all the data into the computers, and we lose every single time. And I mean, I'm not making that up, folks. You can look that up for yourselves. That's a fact. Dr David Ouallaalou (35:46): No, it is. It is. I was aware of one even back then when we ran about 18 of them, 17 out of the 18th, we lost. That was back then. So that just gives you an idea. And I think the whole thing about vis-a-vis just will finish up with this China and move to another topic is that the idea that you look at where China is investing its money in infrastructure. I mean, I drive around the country, I fly from state to state and so forth, and I'm looking at an infrastructure that is very crumbling in front of my eyes and asking myself, why is the government not taking care of this? I'm not talking about handout here. I'm talking about everybody benefits from it. We paying the taxes. Well, we ought to see the improvements on bridges and airports and high-speed trains, and we have none of that. Dr Wilmer Leon (36:41): You mentioned high-speed trains. I was talking to, I think it was the Jammu Baraka who, he was in China a couple of months ago, and he said to me that he was on a bullet train and the train was traveling 350 miles an hour, and he had a glass of water that he had sat on the floor and the glass of the cup wasn't even shaking. And folks, 350 miles an hour, the train is traveling. We have nothing thing, but we're the exceptional entity. We're the superpower. No, only in our own minds Dr David Ouallaalou (37:41): Sad. It is sad. I want just to make it clear, I know there are those detractors that they saying we criticize our country law, whatever this is, because we love our country. That's why we have to say what we have to say. We cannot, and I speak for myself, I cannot sugarcoat things because I am seeing where my country is headed. So to those who's saying why you hate America, you do this. You talk negative about America, it's nonsense. I just want to put that out for the record. Dr Wilmer Leon (38:12): I got an email yesterday from a listener to my Sirius XM show who said, why is it that you only have negative things to say about Joe Biden? And what you're doing is you're creating the environment for African-Americans to think it's okay to vote for Donald Trump. And my point is, to your point, I'm just telling you truth. It's all. And what you do with that information is your business. But I can't sit here and tell you I am a political scientist. I am not a political operative. So my training, my job, my obligation is to look at the data. What does the data say and tell you the truth, what you do with it or don't do with it. That's your business. Dr David Ouallaalou (39:03): Well, that is, it is, folks, this is what I said. I want you to be here to listen to what Dr. Leon has to say because there is a voice of reason from within the us. There are people like Dr. Leon that speaks the truth. Dr Wilmer Leon (39:18): There are a couple of us walking around. Dr David Ouallaalou (39:20): Yeah. Well, just because a lot of people think that all Americans, they don't think straight or No, no, no. They are with voices out there. Dr Wilmer Leon (39:28): In fact, to that, again, I'll go back to the point I made in the first part of the discussion about the polling. When you look at the data, 70% of Americans want an end to the Ukraine conflict. 80% of Americans want an end to the Gaza conflict. It's the leader. So-called leadership in this country that is not listening to the folks, the elected representatives are not representing the interests and the dictates of their constituents because there's an elite class in this country that are paying for the policies that they're receiving. Dr David Ouallaalou (40:16): Wow. Instead of having the politicians working for the benefit and welfare of their constituents for presenting Elsa. Folks, before I forget, make sure to prepare a question or two for Dr. Leon towards the end. He is willing to take few questions. So we will do this at the end. So let's turn our attention to another major conflict, which is the Ukraine, Russia. And I would like to have your input as to first of all, why the conflict was created to begin with. Why? Because it was created, right? Dr Wilmer Leon (40:56): It was the United States started this fight. Dr David Ouallaalou (40:59): Why? Dr Wilmer Leon (41:01): Because when you go back and you read BR New Brezinski and let, oh, here you go. The grand chess board. Dr David Ouallaalou (41:15): Oh, yeah. From Brzezinski. Yes, Dr Wilmer Leon (41:21): The Grand Chess board. And oh, this one doesn't happen between two ages. He was, Abe and Brozinsky as a phobe was very instrumental in helping to create the American foreign policy mindset. And so when you look at the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Margaret, not Margaret, the woman Dr David Ouallaalou (41:55): From which country? Dr Wilmer Leon (41:56): From this country before Hillary Clinton. I just draw the short woman think. Dr David Ouallaalou (42:01): Madeline Al Madeline. Yeah. Dr Wilmer Leon (42:04): Madeline Albright is a disciple of Brzezinski. Hillary Clinton is a disciple of Madeline Albright. So that's the ideological tree that a lot of these folks come from. It is said that Brzezinski is the one that discovered Barack Obama when Barack Obama was at Columbia University. So Barack Obama comes from that brozinsky mindset. So Russia has been a perceived enemy since the collapse of the Soviet Union. And once Vladimir Putin took control of the Russian economy, and meaning that the United States was no longer going to be able to control the Russian economy and extract the profit from it, that American business elites were anticipating and financiers were anticipating, then Russia became an even bigger threat. And so there's been this whole Russia phobia mentality within the United States, and that now makes its way into Tony Blinken and that whole crew. I mean, we can go back to the Cold War. So Russia is a convenient enemy coming out of the Cold War and all. So there's been this distant memory that has now been brought back to the forefront that Russia is an enemy, ignoring the fact Russia wanted to join nato. Dr David Ouallaalou (43:42): That's correct. Dr Wilmer Leon (43:43): Russia wanted to engage and work cooperatively with the West, but Russia was not going to be a puppet. Russia was not going to to allow the United States to use it as it has used so many of its other allies. And that was something that the, and then to the military industrial complex, Russia becomes a very convenient enemy. And that's of course 30,000 foot answer to your question. Dr David Ouallaalou (44:21): You're right. One more, I mean, the most troubling to me was after the end of the Cold War, Naro expanded threefold. He moved from 50 million to 31. Dr Wilmer Leon (44:38): What did Secretary of State, the guy from Texas, I drew a blank on his name. Dr David Ouallaalou (44:44): Oh, the Secretary of State was the James Baker. Dr Wilmer Leon (44:50): James Baker promised Gorbachev. Dr David Ouallaalou (44:54): That's true. Dr Wilmer Leon (44:57): Baker promised Gorbachev, if Gorbachev allowed for the reunification of East and West Germany, NATO would not move any further eastward. And not only did Baker sign onto that, France did, Germany did, and I think one other European country signed onto that as well. And when people want to know why is there this conflict now? Well, the United States violating that commitment that James Baker made goes a very long way. And to those listening who will say, well, that was never a treaty, that nothing was ever signed, therefore it is irrelevant and isn't tangible isn't real. I think it's the international law case of Greenland v Norway. That was back in the thirties where the international court said Any commitment made by a representative of a country is a binding commitment. And so James Baker promising Gorbachev, nato, that was as good as a, it was a verbal contract. It was a verbal agreement and has standing in international court. Dr David Ouallaalou (46:34): Well, of course, the bad part is that the optics of it internationally when we won back on our word as far as what we're doing. So this is why, I mean, a lot of us Americans do not understand as to what is at the heart of this conflict and who created it to begin with Dr Wilmer Leon (46:52): The United States Dr David Ouallaalou (46:53): Thinking what we just have nothing to do. We're going to go look for conflicts around the world. Well, we've been in conflicts for years. The Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, you name it. And what do you and I as Americans, what have we gained from that? What was our interest? Death, exactly. Dr Wilmer Leon (47:11): No debt, death and the decline in the American standard of living. My son will be 22 years old on Sunday. He has never known a day of peace in his entire life. Wow. Dr David Ouallaalou (47:28): Wow. That's very sad. And that's just one example. A lot of people that age will be, which is, but that becomes also on us weer as citizens. If we're not informed, how do we expect to influence change? Dr Wilmer Leon (47:49): Well, it's very difficult to influence change when journalism in the United States has become co-opted by the military industrial complex. So the New York Times is known as the paper of record. The invasion of Iraq was sold to the United States, to the citizens of the United States to a great degree through the New York Times. The CIA was filtering those lies and that disinformation and that misinformation to the American people through the New York Times, through the Washington Post, through M-S-N-B-C and other network outlets. So it becomes difficult for the American people to formulate any kind of rational, reasonable understanding of the geopolitical landscape when all they're being fed is narrative. When you turn on M-S-N-B-C and you look at who many of their paid contributors are, (49:02) Their retired generals, they're retired members of the intelligence apparatus, former directors of the CIA and all of these other organizations. They are former speech writers from the White House. All of the people that have spent their careers creating and articulating a narrative, they've left their positions in the government, they move into the private sector on the television, and they do what they do, what they've been trained to do, communicate the narrative. And anybody that comes that tries to break through with a contrary narrative fact-based contrary narrative is de platformed, is ignored, is called a conspiracy theorist. Which by the way, that term conspiracy theory was created by the CIA in response to those that were saying that John F. Kennedy was not murdered by a lone gunman. So anyway, I'm going off on a tangent. I know. Dr David Ouallaalou (50:08): I'm sorry. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. So yeah, it is, I couldn't agree more. And this is again, what concerns me the most about the narrative that I am really following closely emanating from Washington vis-a-vis China. That is my, concerns me the most because I can just see where this is going to go. Now. Dr Wilmer Leon (50:28): The spy balloon. Dr David Ouallaalou (50:29): The spy balloon, that's correct. The Dr Wilmer Leon (50:34): Spy balloon. Dr David Ouallaalou (50:35): What's next? Now, the AV is going to be spying if it's on the American roads. So now let me go back to the Russia aspect. Dr Wilmer Leon (50:46): Oh, don't forget the Chinese cranes. Now China's going to use the cranes at the American ports to disrupt our economy. That's the latest China story. Dr David Ouallaalou (50:59): It's pathetic. It is pathetic. So now for the Ukraine Russia conflict, by the way, I found out that President Biden is in Ukraine. He went to visit for Ukraine. Dr Wilmer Leon (51:14): Really? He's there now. Dr David Ouallaalou (51:15): I found out. And he met with the wife of Navalny, (51:22) But he called her a national hero. Well, most Americans do not know the background story of that's for another day as far as conversation. What I wanted to mention here, weer is now you and I know because you've been talking about it. I've been on your show so many times, we addressed this so many times and it became evident that Ukraine has lost, Ukraine is a failed state. Yes. So why, in your opinion, why is the EU and the United States still pushing through with more money and now they want to even send them more weapons? Dr Wilmer Leon (52:07): Because the eu, for the most part, is the lapdog of the United States and the leaders of the eu. And an example of that, if you go back to when Olaf Schultz came to the United States and he was standing in a press conference with Joe Biden, and a reporter asked Joe Biden about Nord Stream, when are you going to turn up Nord stream? And Biden said, that's not going to happen. The reporter said, with Olaf Schultz standing right next to him. The reporter said, well, Mr. President, how can you stand there and say that that's not going to happen when that's not our pipeline? And he just looked at the reporter and said, trust me, that's not going to happen. Wow. And then about a week after that, boom, Nord Stream blows up. So the United States, it's analogous to a mafia operation. These are gangsters. These are just gangsters. (53:11) And so there's now becoming an increased amount of unrest in France, in Germany, because the people, the farmers, the workers, they're watching their countries be watching the subsidies that their governments were providing. The farmers go away as billions of dollars are being sent to Ukraine and Ukraine, grain is coming on the market and lowering the price for French farmers and German farmers and whatnot. And so there's becoming an incredible amount of unrest in the street, and they can no longer, the French can no longer just say, let them eat cake because they don't have any cake to eat. As they look at the cost of their natural gas in the debt of winter, they're paying what, three and four times more to heat their homes in Britain, in Britain, in Germany, in France. And they're watching their standard of living decline as austerity measures are being imposed on these citizens at the behest of the United States. And people are saying, why? Why? Dr David Ouallaalou (54:43): Indeed? Indeed. Because I have family lives in Europe. So I kind of talk to them once in a while and they kind of baffled by the policies in both. I have the family lives in Germany and France. I talk with them kind of like, we don't get it. We don't get it. Dr Wilmer Leon (55:05): One of the objectives of the Ukrainian conflict was the de-industrialization of Germany, Dr David Ouallaalou (55:12): Germany. Dr Wilmer Leon (55:14): And now some of these German companies are moving to the United States, for example. Who would've thought that? Michelin, the French tire company, Michelin, that has, I think two factories in Germany, they've closed those tire factories. And I think they're looking to move those factories to the United States. And I think Porsche is looking to move the assembly of more Porsches to the United States. Dr David Ouallaalou (55:46): Wow. Wow. That's traveling for Europe. When I was in Poland last time, a few months ago, I had some conversation with some Polish people there, and they did made it clear to me that they don't understand what the policies of their governments. Well, of course I had to dig into some stuff only to find out who the US ambassador to Poland. You know who it is, right? Dr Wilmer Leon (56:09): The ambassador to Poland? No, Dr David Ouallaalou (56:11): Of the United States to Poland. Poland is the son of Brezinski. Dr Wilmer Leon (56:16): Oh, I did that. Okay. Dr David Ouallaalou (56:18): It's his son. His son. Dr Wilmer Leon (56:22): Mika's brother. Dr David Ouallaalou (56:23): Brother, yes. He is the US ambassador too. And that I put the two and two together and figured, now it makes sense to me as to why Poland is embarking on the people do not want any issues with Russia, but the government is pushing the policy because US Ambassador following the footsteps of his father. You're right. You are right. That's exactly. Now they got a little better. Well, maybe it's too late for all this. So now the idea of how it's going to end, how in your opinion, this conflict? Dr Wilmer Leon (57:01): Well, I wish I were able to empirically answer your question. Now you're asking me my opinion, and the only thing that I can see is that the United States is in this until the last Ukrainian dies. Because Russia is not going to stop. Russia has no reason to stop. The United States is doing everything it can do to continue to see to it that this conflict continues. And the folks that I've talked to about this that understand Russian strategy and Russian capabilities will say Russia hasn't even started that. Looking at the size of Russia's military and their ability to bring up forces, and this is the very kind of war that Russia has been preparing for 20 years an artillery battle. This is what they have been planning for and stockpiling and stockpiling and stockpiling. And that's why NATO is running out of ammunition. Russia just keeps sending shells. (58:31) So I think at the end of the day, if there is a Ukraine left, it's going to be, I don't know about the size of London because Russia is not going to relinquish any territory that is taken. And why should it? The United States has forced its hand didn't want to do. And when I say it didn't want to do this, and folks say, Wilmer, what do you mean? Well, look at the Maidan coup in 2014, and look at how long it took. It took I think eight years for Russia to get involved because as the ethnic Russians and the Donbass kept begging Putin, will you please step in and stop this? Kept saying, no, no, this is not my, and then finally, when he understood that he really was left with very little option, he went in and once he went in, I'm not leaving until I accomplish what I set out to accomplish Deify Demilitarize. And you are not going to become a part of nato. And so they're going to keep moving forward. And it doesn't look like the United States is trying to find any way out. So all I can say to that is they're going to go till it's over, till there's nothing left to claim. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:00:03): Till the last Ukrainian, Dr Wilmer Leon (01:00:04): Till the last Ukrainian dies. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:00:07): And before I forget, it used to be it was a secret memo that was released back in 2011. At that time, I was still in Washington. And the plan has already been in motion per se, because a lot of people do not know that this started from 2007 all the way through to 2014. Of course, when the co happened, then it keeps going to what it is. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:00:31): Was part of that the yet means yet Memo from, was that Burns? Dr David Ouallaalou (01:00:37): That is correct. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:00:38): Okay. From Dr David Ouallaalou (01:00:39): Williams. And it was another one that was, because that was in a reflection of the book that was written by none other than Michael McFall. You know who Michael McFall? What was the book about? A short version of it? The seventh Key Points of Taking down a regime. So this is Michael mc ambassador himself, which one day I remember he put something on Twitter and I kind of answered him straightforward, never heard back from him because I faced him with facts regarding this because I was aware of the issue on Dr Wilmer Leon (01:01:14): What's going on. And there's another book by Blinken Ally versus Ally, which talks about the conflict over pipelines. And so in fact, you can see here it is Ally versus Ally. Interesting. Tony Blinken wrote that years ago. It might've been, yeah, wrote that years ago. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:01:42): Yeah. Very interesting. And speaking of the pipeline, I dunno if you were aware that Sweden officially closed the investigation on pipeline. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:01:52): Yes. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:01:53): Well, how can we close an investigation without knowing who the corporate is? It doesn't make sense. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:01:59): That doesn't make sense. And that also goes to a comment that President Putin made in his interview where he said that the whole pipeline was not destroyed. There's one pipe that is still functional. He says, why don't you turn that up? He says, you can get Russian gas to Germany through Poland. Why won't you turn that up? You can get Russian gas to Germany through Ukraine. Why won't you turn that up? So it's not that these problems can't be solved. And you mentioning that Brzezinski's son is the ambassador to Poland. Now I understand part of that question, but all of that factors into, it's not that the problems can't be solved, they can be solved simply, but the United States does not want those solutions. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:02:53): Yeah, well I look at it like what the Chinese proposed, the 12 talking points regarding the piece, and we rejected it right out immediately. We kind of like, no, we don't want the Chinese to get involved into this. But I read that proposal. Well, it makes perfect, makes perfect sense to me. But again, it's because the US is not going to allow that one. So alright, let me see. Any question from you guys? Oh, by the way, I'm seeing someone here I didn't see for a long time. Usually good to see you as always. Let me see guys, if you have a question for Dr. Leon, it'll be happy to answer this one here for you. And I am hoping you guys, there was some super stickers earlier. I couldn't read it. I am so sorry, guys. Let me see if there is a question here. Well, here is first one. I want to say thank you to Nick. Nick h thank you very much for your supers sticker. Truly, truly appreciate it. It was another one with a question. I believe if this thing in the chat box weer gets overwhelmed with when you have almost 800 people, it gets overwhelmed. But I Dr Wilmer Leon (01:04:10): Understand. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:04:11): Yeah, the guys usually put cues. So I know it's a question for you, and I'm scrolling down quickly here to see if that pops up. And I hope you guys enjoy Dr. Leon. We're going to have him back here. Don't worry. He'll be back here. Well, thank you. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:04:29): Thank you, Dr David Ouallaalou (01:04:30): Thank you. So he'll be back here. And I'm very grateful that you were able to, yeah. Here is one here. One word. Dr. Leon, our Congress members, they want you run for Congress. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:04:42): No, they don't. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:04:43): Corrupt. Brian, you are right. Thank you so much, Stefan. Truly appreciate it. I appreciate it. Let me just see one more here. If there is question, and I'm just scrolling down quickly here to see, yeah, interesting where things are headed. I mean, it is saddens me to see what our country is becoming. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:05:11): I agree with you, a thousand percent. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:05:14): Really sad. And Dr Wilmer Leon (01:05:16): Also, Dr David Ouallaalou (01:05:17): Oh, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. I want to say thank you here to Stefan Hayes again. You put Chinese balloons delivered clean T-shirts and dog food like treats and Biden blaber about Ukraine, and people helped genocide in Palestine. Thank you very much for sharing this, Julie. Appreciate you. Super sticker. Yeah, go ahead. One more. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:05:40): No, just that a lot of the power projection and the violence, the war that the United States is engaging in on foreign soil also contributes greatly to the mindset of a lot of people in this country. And the violence that we see here, we can't really separate the two. And so in a lot of our urban centers, and we see a lot of these atrocious acts being engaged in by American citizens, some of that, what contributes to a lot of that is America is a violent country. It has always been a violent country. It was born out of conquest, it was born out of the United States, imposing its will on indigenous people, murdering those people and taking their land. And that's who America is. That's what our history tells us. And so you cannot separate the violence that we see at home on the domestic front with the violence that the United States is engaged in internationally. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:06:55): Indeed, indeed. There is a question from Army with harmony, and thank you so much for your super sticker. The question is how might the US respond to hi group? That is, we don't use the term here because you know how it is weller cutting submerged internet cable, in your opinion, if the us, Dr Wilmer Leon (01:07:19): I'm not familiar with the cutting of submerged internet cables, but what I'll say to you is that it was reported as far back as last month that the Saudis and Anah were about to engage in a peace plan. And the United States stepped in and told the Saudis, under no circumstance are we going to allow that to happen. And then it was just, I want to say about 10 days ago that the Saudis came out and said again, we've reached a peace agreement with Ansara, Allah. And the United States said, no, we're going to designate Ansara Allah as a terrorist organization. And so if you engage in that peace agreement, you will be sanctioned. And one of the big issues between the South had to do with the payment of Yemeni civil servants. They wanted to be paid and they wanted back pay. And they were negotiating that point. And the United States said, once we designate them as a terrorist organization, you'll not be able to engage in financial transactions with them. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:08:46): Interesting. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:08:46): So I'm not sure about the internet cable cut that. I'm not aware of that. But what I've just described is kind of the bigger picture on how the United States is why when peace is on the horizon, does the United States turn to darkness? Well, I mean that's rhetorical. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:09:12): Yeah. Yeah. Here is my last question here before we let Dr. Leon go from po. So thank you so much for being here. Question, not that it'll happen, but if war breaks out with China, with the United States, also fight with North Korea because North Korea will come to the China's aid. Dr Wilmer Leon (01:09:35): Unfortunately, I think the answer to that question is yes, and that will result in the end of South Korea and could possibly result in the end of Japan because the military support agreements, I believe are such that it's not just North Korea. South Korea would be the United States point of access there and Japan would be brought in as well. And I think Kim Jong-un is ready for that conflict. Dr David Ouallaalou (01:10:11): Yeah, that guy doesn't bluff. That's too much. That's too my ledge. He doesn't bluff. Well, Dr. Leon, I can't thank you enough for really carving out this time for me here. I truly appreciate it. Alright guys, I hope you all enjoyed this. And again, I wanted to bring someone from here, the United States, so you can hear it with your own sort of ears per se. It's because someone with the rationale thinking, logical reasoning, and there are voices of reason here in the United States. Not all are bad, but we all know if the government sometimes does things not on our name, whatever the government is doing in my name, I don't even agree with this government. I don't even recognize whatever. So that just, and this is the reason why I wanted to extended the invitation and I was very, very, or I am grateful that Dr. Leon agreed to come on on our show. We'll bring him over again. As always, guys, I hope you all enjoy this and I look forward to seeing you next time. As always, remember, geopolitics impacts your daily life in more ways than one.

Wembley memories.Only twice before has the Green Army descended on the home of English football, with two very different outcomes.The 1996 play-off victory is still fondly remembered today, whereas 2016 is being hurriedly forgotten.As we approach our third visit to Wembley, we look back on those previous trip with five men who featured in them.Ronnie Mauge, Neil Warnock and Mick Heathcote are three heroes from the class  of '96 and remember the joy of clinching promotion at Wembley. On the flip side Gary Sawyer and Jordan Houghton still bear the scars of that painful afternoon against AFC Wimbledon.On Sunday, 2 April, new memories will be made. Fingers crossed we'll be celebrating this trip in years to come.

To celebrate International Women's Day, we have a special EuroHockey Institute Podcast this month with Shirley McCay, Ireland's most capped sportsperson who is now making a major impact on the next generation. Her story is symbolic of the “Green Army” and their rise from nowhere to the top table in the world, reaching the 2018 World Cup final. She speaks to Jack Rolfe about growing up far from the hockey hubs of Ireland but how her background helped shape her, how her ‘stubbornness and steeliness' drove her to never wonder ‘what if'. Beyond her playing days, she has had a direct influence in guiding and inspiring the next generation. She has been involved for almost a decade as a talent coach with Ulster Hockey, the northern province in Ireland, overseeing programmes from primary school level up to Under-21 level. Her approach is very much a player-centred one, making sure to listen to athletes and observe the new evolutions in the sport rather than hark back to the elements which influenced her early career. Enjoy episode five of this fourth series of the EuroHockey Institute Podcast.

In 2005, during the days of confusion after Hurricane Katrina broke New Orleans's levees, the military needed someone to take charge. That happened once Russel Honoré, a Louisiana-born General with lots of swagger, stepped off the helicopter. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin would describe him as "that John Wayne type character." Honoré would be called again to defend a different city in 2021, after the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the general to conduct a security analysis. Honoré joins Errol Laborde, executive editor of Louisiana Life, along with podcast producer Kelly Massicot to discuss his battlefield career and his latest battle for equitable energy policies. Oh yes, we will also talk about his Green Army and how to go to battle.

Considering a change in employment? Apple/China/Green Army/Bitcoin seizure and Cybersecurity Jobs! Apple has upended a lot of industries over the years, and it is about to upend yet another one. Square is a company that has been making a lot of money and its run by same guy that ran Twitter. You know that Rasputen-looking guy? What's Apple doing to the finance industry? [Following is an automated transcript] This is a real big deal. Apple has been for a long time upending industries. [00:00:23] You might remember, of course, the music player. In fact, I still have an old MP3 player. You can't really see it very well from this angle, but it was right over there. And then. And it was a five gigabyte player. Just amazing thing was huge. It was actually designed by digital equipment corporation, licensed by this other manufacturer, put them together. [00:00:44] Great audio quality. They had these little costs, headphones that came along. I loved the thing. Absolutely loved it. And apple came along, they weren't the first and they introduced their own MP3 player. That was called an iPod. And it did very well. It just slaughtered everybody else. You might remember the Microsoft came out with their zoon and many others came out with their own little MP3 players. [00:01:12] No, nobody could touch our friends over at apple with their iPod. And then what happened? Around 2010, think for a minute. What new product did apple introduce around 2010? Of course it was this right. It was the I phone now the iPhone cut dramatically into Apple's market and for a good reason. It was a phone. [00:01:38] It was a smart phone. It could play all of your music. I still have and still use 120 gigabyte. I iPod. At the kind of the classic I think is what they had called it. And 120, it was just amazing. Just that much music. Of course, me, I have a lot of lectures, a lot of audio books and other things I listened to on that, on those iPods and what happened. [00:02:05] Of course. Now you can get these I-phones with a terabyte of memory in them, just incredible amount of space. And that's a pretty good thing, frankly, because you can store everything. But at the same time, our networks are getting faster. Aren't they? So our networks, like what we have for our cellular phones and stuff are faster than they have ever been. [00:02:29] So you don't really need as much storage do you, as you used to have. On your phone or your iPod or your MP3 player. So it's an interesting game. How much space do you need? And I'm asked that all of the time and the newest iPhone is coming out, have a lot more memory. I think they have eight gigabytes of Ram in them. [00:02:48] And as I said, a terabyte of storage. But what apple was doing is saying, Hey, we own this iPod market, the MP3 player market. And of course it's more than just MP3s, lot of other formats out there for the music or audio books, but they owned it. But they knew that if they were going to survive in the industry, they had to do something else. [00:03:13] Came out with a product that competed with their award winning and just top of the line product, the iPhone and your iPhone works every bit as well as an iPod ever did. And of course ever so much better because now you don't have to download the music on your iPhone to listen to it, to you. You can stream it over the internet, over wifi, right over the cellular data connection, those things we've gotten fast. [00:03:38] Two great option for. What Apple's doing now is saying we need to append another market. Have you ever had, again, like you, you got your phone, right? And let's say you're a small merchant, maybe your coffee shop, or maybe you're even smaller. Maybe you're just out at a flea market selling stuff that you might want to peddle. [00:03:59] You have to get an, a credit card. Don't you. And back in the day that credit card reader would plug right into the headphone Jack and with a headphone Jack, you'd be able to go online. No problem. Life is good. And once you're online, then you can take the credit. Now you didn't just have to go online with your iPhone, but you had to be able to go on line with your phone and the reader, because when they got rid of that wonderful little headphone port, you now had to use Bluetooth, didn't you and you still. [00:04:37] So you get that reader from square or that reader from PayPal or somewhere else it's acting as your merchant account. And that reader then uses Bluetooth to talk to the phone and then it can read the credit card or the chip. And of course, with the chip it's by directional, it has to get the information to, and from that trip, And then you've got the credit card that you can process all well, and good. [00:05:04] We're all happy about that, but here's your next problem? Bluetooth. Isn't always working. That reader has to be charged. Did you charge it before you brought it before you started using it? So apple said wait a minute. In our I-phones we have built in a few different things. Do you ever used apple pay? [00:05:25] It's probably the safest way to pay online bar? None. It doesn't actually give the merchant the credit card. And it gives them a code that they can read Dean in order to go ahead and get the money from the transaction so that transaction can then be redeemed by the merchant. And that's all stuff handled by your merchant account. [00:05:48] You don't have to worry about it makes life. However now what they've done is they've said let's reverse this. You can use your iPhone with apple pay in order to pay for things. And it has, what's called near field technology in it that allows it to act like those tap and go credit cards I've ever used. [00:06:08] One of those where you can just tap it and it makes the transaction happen. Pretty simple. So it has that in there, but it also has the ability. To read those tap and go transactions. So it's going to be interesting to see exactly what happens here. This is a very big industry. There is a whole lot of money in it, and there's an article this week from our friends over in ink magazine. [00:06:36] I got up on my screen for those who are watching a video here on rumble or YouTube. And it's talking about this feature that they introduced quite quietly. Because this new capability is going to change things. Now you are still going to have your merchant account. So you still might have to have a Stripe or a PayPal or direct merchant account with your bank. [00:07:02] But this is allowing contactless credit and debit cards and other digital wallets to be able to be read from any one's iPhone, which is really quite. Now there's things like Venmo and others out there that people use. My kids use a lot more than I do, but they use it to send money back and forth to each other. [00:07:23] It's a pretty good little thing that they've got going, but with something like this, you wouldn't even need to use a Venmo. So those are the guys that are going to get really nailed by it. And Stripe really is phenomenal. It's so easy to use and I use it as well. I use. For my courses. If you sign up, for course, to almost always going through Stripe, I know there's some other alternatives out there right now that are a little more friendly to the non-mainstream, but I haven't been able to integrate those yet in Vermont payment processors, but there's still going to need it. [00:08:01] You can use cash app, Venmo. It's not going to stop you from doing any of that, but it does stop you from having to have another. Piece of equipment with you, which is just something else to go bad, or dig to have, get dirty to, to not be able to work for you. So we'll see what happens. This is cutting out. [00:08:22] These companies like square. They'll no longer be able to. Have from the front to the back, they'll still have the back, frankly, but they'd be able to accept payments from pretty much anything that's contactless, which is I think a very good deal. We'll see what happens. But again, this is not apple going after Apple's existing customer base, like it did with the I Paul. [00:08:50] Transition to the I phone. This is apple going after another piece of the retail space. And remember what I said earlier, it's not even just that app. Has the ability to enter market, but we've seen time and again, where apple enters a market that's already established. It's not quite mature, right? You haven't had all of those acquisitions going where the companies are buying each other up, but it is going to make a huge difference because again, apple up. [00:09:23] And apple has ties in to a couple of banks that they use for processing their apple cards. Think it's Goldman Sachs, and they could potentially provide you with the merchant account stuff on the backend. So I think that's pretty cool. And it's going to allow us all to have a cashless. The yeah, if this was a political show, that's probably what we'd be talking about. [00:09:50] Wouldn't it? Because there's certain problems with doing that as well. Hey, I want to invite everybody to take a few minutes right now. I am making some changes. I've been working on some of these for weeks, but I've got a lot of clients. I've got two. Take care of first, right? I've been doing a lot of CSO work, CIS, so chief information security officer, just on a fractional or part-time basis as a contractor for a few different companies to try and keep them up-to-date with all of the latest in technology. [00:10:22] So it's been really fun, but I haven't been able to do everything I want to do yet on the radio show. So my wife and I are reaching into our pockets and we're going to be hopefully pulling out somebody to help us with some of this, because what I want to do is send. My show notes to you guys every week. [00:10:41] So you can see what I'm talking about. You have the direct links, as well as my newsletter, and I want to start doing my Wednesday wisdoms trainings more regularly. It's really hit or miss. So trying to do all of that, and I'd really appreciate it. If you would go right now to Craig peterson.com and make sure you sign up right there for my email list, Craig peterson.com. [00:11:07] Get it. All right. [00:11:10] We've been very worried about China for quite a few years, for more than one reason. But one of the biggest is they have dominated some of the most critical markets in the world, including some of these mineral resources that we need. [00:11:27] China has been a big worry for many countries around the world. [00:11:32] For a long time, I met with the ambassador from a couple of these African countries and had a great little chat about what was going on there. They wanted to become this one country in particular, the data processing center. For Africa and Africa, of course, very big country or continent, I should say with a lot of countries and a lot of financial transactions. [00:12:01] And they figured what we need is a good data center. We need data lines coming in. And so they got some of those data lines and they got the data center. The data center provided by our friends in China. And so this data center was being used for a few different things, but it sure was not being used for these financial transactions. [00:12:27] So they wanted it to be used for because China. Provided the equipment. And we know from a lot of articles, a lot of research and from the federal government, the China has been spying on us. And I have seen it personally with some of these DOD sub subcontractors. In other words, it's not necessarily directly contracting with the department of defense, but providing parts and things via subcontractor relationships. [00:12:59] And China is a problem. So what do they do? How is this small African countries supposed to become the data processing country for all of Africa, with Chinese equipment? How could they possibly do it without Chinese equipment? And that's what the ambassador was telling. We need this equipment this is it. [00:13:19] They had Chinese routers, switches processors. They had racks of equipment set up in virtual environments and they were all set to go. China's been doing similar things in other parts of the world where they come in, they might build a port for instance, which has happened many times, one in Indonesia, particularly I'm thinking of, and they financed the port. [00:13:45] If you don't make the payment on that data center or the payment on the port or the payment on the railroad system, et cetera, that China has installed in your country, guess what's in that contract, you forfeit them. So the data center now becomes absolutely. China's not just a lean on it, not just a lease from China. [00:14:11] It is China's data center. That port is China's port. In fact, they own the largest port. Now I think in all of Indonesia, maybe the whole Pacific rim over there, I'm not sure, but that's what they've been doing. Same thing with railroads, et cetera, et cetera. So China really has a lot of companies and countries over the. [00:14:35] That's something we didn't want to have happen here in president Trump, you might remember was very adamant about it. He did a whole lot of work to make sure that none of the Chinese interests would really be able to take over and control our us interest. It makes sense to me. So what has China been doing to us? [00:14:58] We know about the steel and remember China was dumping cheap steel into the us and world markets that hurts us. We have a need to make things here. If we ever haven't forbid got into a war. And we needed ships or boats or planes, or we needed armaments of some sort or another. We need to be able to make them in the United States or in an allied country. [00:15:29] You remember how many problems that Britain had during the war? Trying to ship stuff over. I have two kids that were merchant Mariners and the U S merchant Marine academy is the only. Of the military academies, that flies battle standards because they lost cadets who were there at the school during warfare. [00:15:53] Okay. It's a bad thing. We don't want that to happen. So not having to rely on other countries actually ends up being a bit of a positive thing, depending on what it is. China's sent us things like dog food, that's contaminated, baby food contaminated. Even those, green recyclable bags, people take to the grocery store. [00:16:16] Yeah, contaminated with lead. It goes on and on. They also had control of 99% of certain precious metals that are needed for some of our key manufacturing here in the U S so we put tariffs on China for steel. We did the same thing in 2021. In fact, they put a tariff of 23% in 2021 to protect the steel manufacturers here in the U S. [00:16:45] From these cheap Chinese imports, not just cheap, but low quality steel Weiwei, you know about them. They owned the smartphone business in many parts of the world. In fact, here in the United States, you could get cheap Walway phones. Now, Weiwei of course, if much about Canadian history, know about Northern telecomm, who did a little. [00:17:10] Pioneering in the whole phone business for many decades and the allegations. And there's some proof that I've seen that leads me to believe that these allegations are correct. Are that while always stolen? Northern telecoms designs, its plans, et cetera, and put all of that together to make Walway. [00:17:32] So they steal the plans, they steal the engineering, they steal the research and development, the intellectual property. They then start making it, of course, without having to worry about the investments into R and D and developing products. Now they just stole them and then they flood the markets worldwide with. [00:17:52] Equipment paid and manufactured in some cases by slave labor in almost every case by substantially low wages and. They then control of the market. So we said no way to Walway and that was something president Trump started. It's actually a really good thing. And Google apps are now no longer allowed on Huawei phones. [00:18:19] So China used to have a 99%, almost total monopoly on rare earth metals. I'm going to bring this article up on the screen from our friends over at American. But now they have fallen to less than 60% monopoly. So they've been trying to stop shipments of rare earth metals to countries all over the world to drive up the prices. [00:18:45] They did the same thing here to Japan because of the contesting in the south China sea of some of these islands of some of these mineral rights. But since then in the last decade, rare earth metal. Are being mined. In other parts of the world, we talked here about what California is doing. California is now going to be mining lithium and some of these other rare earth metals that we need to make batteries. [00:19:15] We need to make processes. We need to make cars. We need to make light bulbs right on. And. They used to have a near monopoly on foreign off shore investment because companies were going to China like crazy, because the cheap wages over there, 1.4 billion consumers has been leading companies that make movies like Disney to go over to China. [00:19:39] But things have really stopped in some of these growth areas for China. And in fact, have reversed in a very big way. They're clamped down on business, censoring of wealthy capitalists food, shortages, growth, centralized government corruption. Gross, excuse me, corruption, mismanagement, stagflation, plunging birth rate, all resulted in investments and opportunities. [00:20:04] Fleeing China. Great article in American thinker. Keep an eye out for it in the newsletter this week and stick around. But first check out Craig peterson.com. Make sure you're on my email list. And if you like watching video, Hey, I'd like to invite you to watch me and follow me on YouTube and rumble. [00:20:27] This is straight out of the, what were you thinking department? In fact, what are you thinking? Yeah, the us army is planning on going green. Yeah. They want electric vehicles in war. [00:20:44] This is a plan that you just are going to have to shake your head at a, again, it's a little bit of idiocy, but before we talk specifically about the plan, I want to talk about something related. [00:20:59] Now, remember this plan is from the U S army and they want some goals read Sean on climate change and electric vehicles here over the next 20, 30 years. So let's look at the science behind what they're talking about, and I'm going to show you the actual statement that came out from the military. And one of president Biden's appointees is just nuts, absolutely nuts, but I'm going to back up a little. [00:21:34] For those of you who are watching along at home. Let me pull this up for you. This is from slash. And it's quoting a report over on the wall street journal and pulling some stuff together. But what they're doing in this particular article is talking about how our friends who have come up with these super computer designed. [00:22:02] To model our weather have been be fuddled they've reworked 1.2 million lines of computer code in order to compensate for something that I don't know about you, but if I was writing the code, I probably would have compensated for it in the first place cloud. Clouds. Yeah. Yeah. It turns out this is just to me, absolutely boggling the mind, that great glowing orb that appears in the sky. [00:22:35] From time to time. Yeah. I'll give or take half of the day. That thing called the sun apparently has something to do with the earth warming up. And do you know what else does, the clouds that are up in the sky? Those clouds can reflect the sun's heat and they can also hold heat in on the ground side, who would have thought. [00:23:01] So all of these models that they've been using, cause remember by now, as of more than a decade ago, New York Manhattan is underwater. Remember? Yeah. Al gore with his scientific moon movie at this science. Is just cited. It's proven and Florida by now was underwater. And so as Manhattan, and of course neither is true because they had no idea what they were talking about. [00:23:27] This article in the wall street journal, Totally baffles me. And I'm just showing you the excerpt from slash.here on the screen because the wall street journal was paid. And I don't want to have to push you guys to paid stuff if I can avoid it. But they thought it was really strange cause they updated the simulation in 2018 and in 2018 it turned out that the earth was. [00:23:55] Way more sensitive to greenhouse gases than they thought. And, oh man, they had to think about that because, in Boulder, the national center for atmospheric research they said if that number was correct, that would be really bad news. Yeah. And at least 20 older climate models disagreed with the new one, but they were simpler and this new one is an open source model. [00:24:20] So anybody can look at the code and kind of figure it out. So I, then what ended up happening is. More than a dozen other models were released and it turns out wait a minute, now they're agreeing with us. Do you remember that spaghetti code that predicted the COVID 19 was going to kill? [00:24:40] It was a two and a half million people in the United States. Of course didn't get anywhere near. Close to that, because the way we kept the stats, right? W co dine with COVID versus because of COVID right. Remember that whole controversy. It turns out that the scientists concluded that their new calculations have been thrown off kilter by the physics of clouds in a warming world, which may amplify or. [00:25:08] Climate change. Isn't that what I had just said, that Kyle taken, they can block the sun and they can also keep heat in. A night with lots of moisture in the air, whether it's humidity or cloud is going to stay warmer than a night where there's no clouds. These are experts. So the fact that they left out clouds and the effect they might have, I must make a whole lot of sense, because this is a science and the science has settled. [00:25:34] Yeah. So Andrew Gettleman now physicist there in Boulder said that the old way is just wrong. We know that I think our higher sensitivity is wrong to it. It's probably a consequence of other things we did by making clouds better and more realistic to solve one problem and create another I, again, I got to point out science, mind. [00:25:59] Science is not settled on pretty much anything and it never has been. And until we are all knowing, it never will be. So keep that in mind and quit having your heads just be so inflated that you think that you're absolutely right, because I'm not absolutely right. They're not absolutely right. No, one's absolutely right. [00:26:23] So let's get into the army here. This is just so exciting. Cause Christine wor Muth is the secretary of the army now, and the army is going to lead by example. And we put this up on the screen. I just realized that I'll have this up on the screen for you guys. We will use our buying power to drive change in the industry and leverage best practices from. [00:26:47] Sources. There's another great quote here from the secretary of defense. W we face all kinds of threats in our line of work yet. Yeah. Secretary of defense army. Yeah. Okay. But a few of the threats truly deserve to be called existential. The climate crisis does climate change is making the world more unsafe and we need to act right. [00:27:14] That's what she's saying, that this thing goes on for pages, what the goals are. So I decided, okay, Craig, let's have a look at this. I'm going to do a search in this PDF for the word risk. What are the risks? If we're going to be messing with the military, with the electric vehicles, because in the middle of a war zone, it's great. [00:27:33] You just, you stop, you plug your electric vehicle and let it charge for half an hour. And then you're off and running. And particularly where tanks are right. Where we're trying to protect our personnel. Maybe have an offensive. They'll wait while we charge our tanks, right? Oh and a little tiny solar cell, or we cover it with solar cells. [00:27:51] That's going to be enough to charge it if we leave it sitting there for a week. So we're okay. So what are the risks associated with us being idiots and moving towards an electric army? Okay, so risks here. Okay. So this is a risk to the climate. This is climate risks. Oh, this is red mitigating climate risks, assertion of climate change risks impacting the army at all levels from how and where our units operate and train to how to service as a whole. [00:28:21] Okay. So that's risks of when the climate changes, as we know it will, because those guys wrote 1.2 million new lines of code. Okay. So we know it's going to change. Okay. So let me see risks, climate change, imposes, climate threats, and risks. Address the risks associated with these. Let's see here. [00:28:43] What else do we got? Climate change risks. Climate change risks. Oh, they're going to install micro grids on every installation. Okay. Climate change risks. This is nuts. And the New York post has a great article on this insanity. Oh my gosh. What are we going to do with these. Yeah, our military, we're going to stop and charge our vehicles. [00:29:10] Yeah. All right, everybody stick around and visit online. Craig Peter sohn.com. I'll keep you up to date. [00:29:24] We're going to talk about this Bitcoin laundering case that really turned the internet upside down. Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, how safe is it? How secure is it really? And what happened here? Because this Bonnie and Clyde failed. [00:29:41] This is an article from the New York times. [00:29:44] Now I know I don't like to, you guys know this show you stuff that you have to pay to go to a paid site and particularly something like the New York times. It's amazing to me how they have some really great journalists that do a good job on some of these stories. And then they just totally go political on so many of the other stories, and I'm not talking about the editorial page, knock yourself out. [00:30:11] But anyways, this is a fascinating story to me because so many of us think that using Bitcoin is going to be safe after. Cryptocurrency. And crypto means cryptography and cryptography means we're keeping ourselves safer. Isn't it? Isn't that? How that's all supposed to work kind of the bottom line while in reality, it doesn't always work out that way. [00:30:40] And when it comes to cryptocurrency, it definitely does. And I want to explain a little bit about cryptocurrency for people, if you don't understand it very well, just putting the very, very, basically the way it works is there are ledgers, just like the old ledgers you used to see at the banks or businesses, those big. [00:31:02] And they'd maybe do double entry ledgers, or maybe some other types. Nowadays. Of course, all of this stuff has done on computers, but the idea is you walk into your bank and you say, I want a hundred dollars from my account. So the bank opens up its ledgers and sees, okay. Your account has X dollars in it. [00:31:23] They give you a hundred dollars in that ledger. Now they marked down that your account now is a hundred dollars less because you just would do a hundred bucks. That's the simple way it works with the bank. It's actually very similar with the script old currencies, but what happens in cryptocurrencies is you're not dealing with one institution. [00:31:46] So it isn't just your retirement plan that fidelity friends. With it, when it comes to cryptocurrencies, these ledgers are maintained by hundreds of different businesses and people around the world. Thousands depends on the cryptocurrency itself. And the idea is when you go and you want to take your a hundred dollars for instance, from the bank, they look it up in their one ledger in that ledger is assumed to be correct. [00:32:15] But when it comes to cryptocurrencies, there have to be the majority of ledgers that agree about how much money. And those ledgers are all public ledgers. So it's like having a Swiss bank account in that your account is represented by a number that's actually where the cryptography comes in and the keys, public keys and everything else. [00:32:40] But your account is essentially represented by a number. So if you want to pay the a hundred dollars to. In cryptocurrency. So it's probably some fraction of some cryptocurrency what's going to happen is you are going to have half of the ledgers for that particular cryptocurrency agree that you're transferring a hundred dollars. [00:33:07] From account number 1, 2, 3, 4 to someone else's account, which is 5, 6, 7, 8, just as an example. Very simplified example. So now what happens is the people who are running the ledger that you're using the main ledger, check the other ledgers and push your transaction onto the ledgers. That's why it takes a while for cryptocurrency transactions to occur. [00:33:32] Because it has to push out to these ledgers. Half of them have to agree in order for it to be a reasonable and accepted transactions. That make sense. Good. So what we have here now because of public ledgers is public information. The amount of money you have in that number to count can be seen by anyone who cares to look. [00:34:00] It's really that simple. Anybody can see it. So why are people thinking that it's crypto it's safe? It can't be taken by the government or bad guys, et cetera. Those concepts are all insane. The. Sort of privacy or security you have is related to the ledger. So the security is half of the ledgers have to agree. [00:34:23] So someone hacks one ledger, that's not enough to get control of all of your cryptocurrency or whatever it might. If someone hacks your wallet, that's a different story entirely. Okay. But that's not what we're talking about right now, but everybody can see that you have a hundred dollars in account. [00:34:43] Number 1, 2, 3, 4, the pro the trick is, and the problem for law enforcement, they don't necessarily know who owns account 1, 2, 3. So what law enforcement does in order to get money back or to arrest people is they watch these accounts. So in this particular case, there's Bonnie and Clyde, if you will hack a cryptocurrency exchange. [00:35:09] So this is again, one of these ledgers sites and they'll often exchange us dollars for various cryptocurrencies. Back in 2016, Bitfinex was the name of it. And they store $71 million in Bitcoin from effectively wallets are there on that site. But because these trades are publicly. People on the internet knew that it happened. [00:35:39] In fact, people on the internet were watching that wallet waiting for money to move. And this couple that's alleged to have stolen it's Iliya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, that account could, they could see that $71 million was in it. But over time, six years later, the value of Bitcoin had gone up substantially. [00:36:06] And today is worth about $4 billion. Isn't that just amazing and a lot of money. So they moved it to another account and that's when the got in trouble. So if you have a Swiss bank account, 1, 2, 3, 4, and you transfer money to someone else that I know, I now can trace that account. I say, oh, I know who has that. [00:36:35] Yeah, that's 71 million worth of Bitcoin. Back in the day, that's now worth 4 billion was in this account and they just bought themselves a new Porsche cayenne at this dealership. And all law enforcement has to do is knock at the dealership, say who was it? And now they know who the people are, but in this particular case, The bad guys had left that money in that Bitcoin account, but that money did get transferred, but guess what? [00:37:05] It wasn't them, people on the internet were thinking that the hackers had emerged that they were transferring the money to other Bitcoin accounts, which you see fairly frequently for these illegal transactions, but it wasn't the hackers who move that stolen. Bitcoin. This is again from the New York times, it was the government which had seized it as part of investigation into two New York city entrepreneurs, one with a little known Russian emigre and techie investor who had just named the other, his wife, an American businesswoman, and would be social media influencer with an alter ego. [00:37:44] Is this a terrible rapper named razzle con. Yeah, amazing. You can't make this stuff up. Can you, so they're charged with conspiracy to launder billions of dollars in Bitcoin. Ilya is 34 and Heather's 31 accused of siphoned off chunks of the currency, trying to hide it in this complex network of digital wallets and personas. [00:38:07] And if they're convicted of it and a second. Spare seat count that has been put against them. They could be facing up to 25 years in prison. So as is always the case, oh, you asked the neighbor, he was a good boy. He was a very good boy. I love that. How we are, but he's that little bit all over the. [00:38:26] But the couple's neighbors said they're goofy, normal types of people never expected that. But these are part of a real change that we've been seeing over the last few years into investigations in the cryptocurrency field. Now, remember crypto isn't necessarily the best thing. [00:38:44] Own any, never have owned any. I played around with some mining stuff at one point, just on my regular computer to see what it was all about, but it is not anything that's worth anything to anyone. Frankly, what I did now, a lot of people have been buying it. Of course, part of the problem with it is in order for it to be truly useful, you have to convert it back into something like a us dollar or maybe some other type of currency. [00:39:11] And that's often when people get caught and nowadays on the tax forms, it even asked you about any sort of crypto holdings that you might have. So remember all of that. They don't know, by the way, this is again from the article, the New York times, if they were directly involved in this breach all those years ago, but this is really crypto culture and it really is the fringe. [00:39:40] And they went crazy online and started looking at the digital trail. Her videos suddenly shared widely. Yeah. They've become infamous, is the right way to put all of that. Hey, if you like the show, I would really encourage you to follow me. You can follow, listen to my podcast on tune in on any of the major, in fact stream. [00:40:09] Platforms out there SoundCloud you'll find me on apple, et cetera. And I just started videotaping the shows last week. And this week I've done little things before, but now I'm trying to do the whole. So you can watch me on the show as I'm recording it live and see a little bit behind the scenes, which I've always liked. [00:40:35] I've been watching how we Carr and grace Curley do their show. And I thought, it's well worth it this week. I did a little bit of editing on. Cut out some of the in between, cause I had some longer coffee and fit and had to stretch my legs a couple of times, but you get to see the whole thing behind the scenes. [00:40:54] And if you sign up for my newsletter, you're going to get my weekly trainings. You're going to find out about boot camps I'm doing and other things, but you have to. Go to Craig Peter sawn.com. You'll see a right there on any page, frankly, to scroll down a little bit. It'll pop up right at the top of the page. [00:41:14] Put in your name and email address, and I'm going to send you a few special reports, including my report on passwords. Craig peterson.com. [00:41:25] You obviously know about the great resignation. It has been a big problem for a lot of companies out there. Great. For job seekers. Great for you. If you're trying to maybe get a raise, et cetera, especially if you're in the tech industry. [00:41:42] This great resignation thing, man. Has it hit companies? And one of the biggest problems companies are having is with tech workers. [00:41:55] You might remember back in the day, we had a big shortage of some of the cybersecurity people, right? Where we couldn't find them. There were numbers saying that there's like a million and a half or more open jobs for cybersecurity people. Now I did a little investigation into that number because it sounded high to me. [00:42:18] Cause I, I was coding it. It was a number that came from some pretty reasonable sources. But I think this is one of those things where you had one news source stating it and then all of a sudden other people started quoting it. I don't think it was really a million and a half. And what I found was that the people that had put that number together were looking at it and saying, if you have a business. [00:42:46] Who you should, you have working for you when it comes to cybersecurity? So there's like the CSO, the chief information security officer, which is something I do on a fractional basis for businesses all of the time, helping them to up their security. So you had to have a CSO, you needed to have a team. [00:43:06] Looking at the logs that was paying attention to the networks. If something happened, they would know when they did investigate and maybe they would do patching close bugs. Which is a different person. One is the network operation center people. And if you're going to have a 24 7 network operation center, that means you need at least four people probably. [00:43:30] And so the added all of this stuff up right there, the desktop people that are making sure the end points are protected and kept up to date and upgraded. That's how they came up with that, one and a half, 2 million open jobs in the us for technology. The reality was different obviously. [00:43:50] And now with the great resignation where all of these people are. Out of the jobs. And part of the problem was already the beginning of the lockdowns. They had people suspended. They laid them off or they said, okay maybe we'll have you back. It's only two weeks to flatten the curve. [00:44:11] So yeah, take a couple of weeks off. And so that gave people the opportunity over that. Period, which actually was two years, right? A minute. Maybe it's just my imagination. I'm not sure. But did that whole flatten the curve period that lasted for two years, people said I don't like this job because Frank. [00:44:32] There is very few jobs. There are very few jobs that are as stressful as the cyber security jobs, because you're dealing all of the time with the senior executives saying I'm not going to double log in. I'm not going to carry a token around with me. I'm not going to have my screen time out after. [00:44:55] Dean minutes or five minutes? No, it has to be half an hour and I just can't get my work done otherwise. So you're fighting with senior management who approved the budget in the first place, to at least do the minimal stuff. You're fighting with senior management to. The budget you need in order to keep the company safe. [00:45:15] Because nowadays, if you're not keeping a company safe, you can go out of business like that, lose your reputation, lose your intellectual property. I've seen it before with companies, small companies, bigger companies. You've got to make sure all of your backups are in place there. You're using. 3, 2, 1 strategy nowadays, it's more of a 4, 3, 2, 2 1, 1 zeros hero strategy. [00:45:40] I'll have to do a webinar on that one or a little meeting. We'll get together and talk about it. But again, if you're interested in that you gotta go to my website and stamped for the email list. Craig peterson.com. Just trying to figure it all out is difficult. And then you get all of these false alerts from software and you got to figure out, was this a legitimate alert or was this a false alert? [00:46:04] What should I do about this? Or should I do about that? Who's really trying to break in. Why are they trying to break in? All of that sort of stuff gets to be difficult. So it's a stressful job. So a lot of people that were in cyber security at the beginning of the lockdown, I said I got to find something better. [00:46:21] I know a couple of listeners who decided at the age of 55 to 60 in both cases that they would go change their careers had enough of what they were doing and we're going to go and do cybersecurity, took some of these classes, got the basics together and found jobs. In cybersecurity now they're not going to be experts, but they certainly knew more than the other people at the business, including the I T directors. [00:46:53] And I say that with air quotes. So they both changed jobs during the. Now that's an interesting thing to me because I, and I'm not pointing my finger at either one of these guys, but the number one thing you have, if you are in cybersecurity, if you are a CSO is the top drawer of your desk. [00:47:14] Assuming you have a desk, there's two things. One is your resume. And the other is your resignation letter because. Ultimately any business can be hacked. Now, I don't want people to say I'm throwing my hands up because it doesn't matter. Any business can be hacked. I'm not going to deal with this, right? [00:47:31] Why would I spend any money on it all because you can control. Likely you are to be hacked and you can get like a 98 to a hundred percent effectiveness depending on how you measure things. And if something does happen, what matters is, how can you recover? So if you look at things like the sniffs to cybersecurity framework, you'll see, there's all kinds of provisions in there to make sure the business survives a hack. [00:48:01] Okay. Stuff you needed to do stuff you need to be concerned about. But the whole cyber security side of the business is. Still in high demand because businesses more and more are realizing they can't just get by with running antivirus software anymore. You can't just say, oh I've got wonderful. [00:48:24] A windows defender on my PC and that's working great. I don't need anything else. Now you have to have a much more advanced system. There's no two ways about it. So what we're finding is people in the it business right now can find a job if they were. Great article here. Let me show you a little bit. [00:48:45] If you're watching, you'll see this on the screen. Two articles this week that I thought were really great, and I want to run through a little bit, but one is from. Wired magazine. That's a magazine I've subscribed to for a long time. They got some crazy ideas, but they got some good stuff, dude. And it's talking about the shortage of qualified workers and the competition. [00:49:11] It's fascinating. And then another one here, I'll show you from the New York times magazine. And it's talking about the recruiters who are trying to recruit in the tech space. Now, in both of these cases, what we're talking about are job vacancies that are open in a minimum, hundreds of thousands in the U S right. [00:49:36] Yeah, it's hard to tell, but what you can tell and what we are seeing is that these are recruiters who used to be stocked quite literally, sometimes by people looking for a job are now lucky. If they get a return, email, or phone, That's how bad it's gotten for them. And the story goes through this one recruiters kind of background saying, yeah I had this one person who's looking for a job and they stalked me, found my picture on LinkedIn and then stood outside the building, waiting for me to come out and then basically shoved the resume in my face and talked me up. [00:50:21] Another one saying I had mentioned on the phone that I really liked tophi what shows up the next morning, this beautiful handmade toffee perfectly wrapped. So it has gone in just a few years from that where people will do anything in order to try and get a hold of the hiring manager, to where it is today, where people are just saying. [00:50:44] Forget about it, it just isn't worth my time. The other thing that the recruiters are fine. Is that people when, if they do get ahold of them are saying basically, Hey, I'm just burned out. No, I don't think I have the energy anymore to do this, which is an interesting response. People because of the lock down have just had their. [00:51:10] Their excitement, squashed, and ability to look forward to what my career is going to be if you're younger and if you're older, like I am, you're looking at it saying I've still got a lot of good years left and I'd love to do this and have my my wisdom, if you will, from all of these decades in the it world and in cybersecurity put to good use, which is why I said I'm doing the fractional. [00:51:36] Chief information security officer for businesses. But what we are finding is. People can get the jobs, even people who are already retired to semi retired. I read another article this week that I thought was rather interesting. And we'll talk about that a bit when we get back, because it's going to take a few, but. [00:51:59] The resume side of things. No, we heard the T of course the tophi trick the standing outside and stocking them tricky, et cetera. So what is happening right now? When you want a job, then maybe you've been in the market before for a lot of years and you're competing against the kids that are out there. [00:52:21] Things have changed stick around and visit me online. Craig Peterson dot. [00:52:28] We're going to finish up our discussion about jobs and open it, positions it in general. And also going to talk about some of the tips for older employees on the resume. I had a bit of a shocker this week.. [00:52:44] This article, and I'm going to pull up on my screen for those who are watching online is I think fascinating. [00:52:51] This is from the New York times, and it's talking about recruiters and it's from a recruiter's perspective, Frank. And it's saying here, this is by the way, the one that had that story about the lady that used to be just hunted down all of the time, but the same recruiters are in such a demand that they too are scarce, which means their fees have never been here. [00:53:17] In house tech recruiter, salaries are up about 30% organizations looking for help in cloud and cybersecurity positions have increased fees. They're offering two recruiting services to as high as 45% of the first year salary. Isn't that something that's a Robert half. I should have them on the show. They have been on a few times in the past, this particular lady who left her job, where she was always being courted and started freelance recruiting before the lockdown back in 2018. [00:53:55] But there are big challenges are frankly going beyond finding just regular humans. The New York times says is that people are talking to potential hires. The recruiters have a big picture view of just how quickly the market is moving. And they've got to course take that and translate it into something that hiring managers would understand. [00:54:17] And that's a fine line. Between, Hey, I'm trying to help you out here. You really should pay attention. And this is a hard sell right solely. It's a really interesting line. And we're also finding that of course of the candidates themselves are getting a lot of money. Salaries are way. Pop and for a good reason, people are in demand, especially if you have the skills. [00:54:44] And so many people just don't want to work anymore. I have a couple of ways. I've looked at this over the years. I have what I call the McDonald's test. I don't think I've been to McDonald's in more than a year and I was on a road trip at the time, but it's how good is the service at McDonald's? [00:55:02] Because if typically the service at whatever retail store you go to is pretty good. It usually means, wow. People are looking for jobs and it's hard to find a job. So you've got basically overqualified people working there on the other end. People who are working in the customer service retail space, which unfortunately, that's your face? That's your company. The people that answer the phone or the talk to your customers, those are the people who are out front. So in dealing with those people, w are they the best or the worst? If there are a lot of open positions while typically, and I hate to say this, but typically they're not your best employees. [00:55:49] So that's kinda my McDonald's test. Did I get great service at McDonald's or Wendy's or burger king or at the mall? Or did I not get great service? And right now, We're not getting great service, any of those sorts of places. It's actually been more than a little frustrating. And sometimes even at the local coffee shop, it's been a little frustrating. [00:56:10] The other thing, this is surprised me. Th this was this week right now. I've never been a. Another words, just in other words I, it doesn't matter to me if someone's younger or older certainly you can get to a age where there's senility. The other obvious problems with mental function look at president Biden, frankly, and some of the issues he has at least from time to time. [00:56:38] But other than that, I'd never have. So I was really surprised when I was reading an article that. And it was talking about your resume if you want to get hired. And I'm going to run through some tips here because I spent some time doing some more research on this. You guys know, I'm not a spring chicken. [00:56:58] I'm not an old man. The brain's obviously functioning just fine. And that's a good thing. Probably will be well into my eighties. Hopefully nineties that's been the history in my family. I at you're 60 years old, even 70 years old, you still got a lot of good years left in you. So when I'm looking at this and saying, okay, I, what I do is what's called a fractional Cecil, fractional chief information security officer for businesses. [00:57:28] So what I do is I go into a business part time because I limit myself to somewhere between three and four. Customers at a time. And I have a team behind me that helps with all of the paperwork, the documentation, for all the compliance and everything else. It's out there. And as I'm doing all of this stuff for the company I'm bringing them in compliance with the cybersecurity regulations and in a lot of industries, if you're not in compliant, you're in big trouble. [00:58:00] Okay. Then that makes sense. I think to most people. So I was thinking, okay, how can I promote my fractured? Chief information, security officer stuff. I tied it up a little bit of my LinkedIn page. I really got to get some stuff together on my Craig Peterson page and mainstream page as well, which is my company. [00:58:21] But I am, I've done what I've done. So I started doing a little research saying what sort of stuff should I have out there on LinkedIn or other places? And this is where I really got surprised. And this is where the aid just stuff comes. And that is. Everybody. And I did a whole bunch more research on this and everybody says if your older do not even put dates on the resume of when you did things, don't put anything on the resume. [00:58:51] That's more than 10 or 15 years old. And if you've got experience from back then, like I do, I could go in and be a cobalt programmer today. I did a lot of COBOL goading back in the seventies. IBM assembler. I did a lot of that. I even did 65 0 2 assembler for those that might remember that chip. [00:59:10] And I've done a lot of kernel work over the years. See is my language of choice and was for years as I maintained and developed code for the Unix kernels. So all of that. Out the window. And what you do is you put it under additional experience. And even if you're saying, Hey, listen I've been doing this. [00:59:30] Like I've mentioned to you guys before that I have what, over 35 years of cybersecurity experience and it's legit, right? You guys know I've been helping to develop the internet since the early 1980s, like 81 is when I got going a little bit in 83 is when I was into it pretty much full time. But apparently that's unknown nowadays. [00:59:55] So instead of saying, Hey, listen, I've got 40 years of actually I've got closer to 45. I started in 75. I think it was in networking. IBM, networking, the old RJE and stuff. That's a no. I should say 10 plus years of computer network experience, because apparently what's been happening is these machine learning tools that hiring managers are using our age just now businesses are using them because of this problem we just talked about here from the New York times, recruiters are even getting hard to find. [01:00:37] And employees are some in some towns, some cities wages are up 10% in the it area, just in general, let alone cyber secure. So you've got to go through automated systems now, as opposed to a person that's always been tough dealing with HR because HR, they, they don't know the business. They certainly don't know the jobs. [01:01:02] They just got some bullet points, outlines that they're working with. So w we'll talk about this more. When we get back, I'm going to go through some points here, Korn ferry, and others have a lot of good points. And as I said, we should probably try and get Robert half on at some point they're local here. [01:01:19] So anyways, visit me online, sign up right now, Craig Peter sohn.com and stick around. Cause we've got a lot more to go. [01:01:28] We talked a little bit about the jobs, what it looks like out there, what recruiters are doing. I'm going to review here now the resumes, really? What should you have on them? Particularly if you're a little. Older like me.  [01:01:44] New York times. Great article about this. And I am also going to show you this other little article from wired here. We're going to go full screen for those of you watching here online, but the tech companies are really getting desperate. This is a chief economist over Dorsha. Published in a report saying the people are resigning at the highest rates since 2009. [01:02:14] Huge numbers are leaving the labor market entirely and more than 80% do not want a job. The highest on record since 1993. That's absolutely amazing looking at these numbers. So this whole great resignation as it's called has really widened the gap. Let me make these, this text a little bigger for you guys. [01:02:39] And there have been some huge gaping holes. In the workforce out there. S I T in general is really looking for people big time, cybersecurity, also looking for people. And I'm in the process right now of hiring a couple more. And let me tell you, it's more difficult than it's ever been before. In it alone. [01:03:05] This, again, this is according to wired. 31% of workers actively sought out a new job between July and September last year. That's the highest amongst all industries, according to Gartner guys that make all this, these studies that they sell to businesses, data from global. Knowledge found 76% of global. [01:03:27] It decision-makers are dealing with critical skills gaps on their teams, multiply the problem across other tech roles. And it's clear that there's a massive skills shortage and it's just amazing. They have. Sign on bonuses on top of sign-on bonuses, they're trying to move. Hey, we've got better snacks. [01:03:49] And Facebook does out there in the bay area of California. They're having people working from home now. It's Hey, if you want to work from home, you can. Most people are w one of my sons just got a job. He. Performing kind of a CSO function. Like I do. He's worked with me for more than 10 years and that he is just working from home. [01:04:14] He's never actually stepped foot in the office and he has been doing everything virtual, including the whole interview in process. Absolutely amazing. So they're calling this stuff a golden. Hello. In the business already saying, Hey, I didn't get one of those. Yeah. Cause you've been working there for five years, but everyone internally recognizes it's an unusual situation. [01:04:40] And for us to continue to grow, we need to be. Competitive there's sign-on bonuses and they found those have not been effective in the it world because candidates are looking to maximize the opportunity to get much higher salaries elsewhere. Now, I did a proposal. I'm working with a company right now, and I did a proposal for them to provide some of these fractional chief information security officers. [01:05:08] Function. I'm helping to define where they need to go, how they need to get there. I'm doing all the documentation on everything I'm working on, the HR policies everything, including securing the networks, helping them get the hardware, running it, renting them stuff right off the bat so that they can secure themselves very quickly. [01:05:27] Whole bunch of stuff that I'm doing for. And it, frankly, I think it makes a lot of sense, but how could they possibly hire somebody like me? How could they hire someone like my son? So I went online to glass door. You might know about that website, glassdoor.com. It lets you check out businesses. What jobs might they have open and look at reviews from an employee's standpoint of. [01:05:57] Glassdoor is pretty good for that. And I looked at salaries right now. Somebody like me, that is a CSO makes between 250 and $900,000 a year, depending on the size of the county. Now that's real money. Last time I checked, even with the inflation that we're looking at right now, I don't know. Maybe I won't keep up with it. [01:06:23] I saw some inflation numbers. Of course, they move these out of the consumer price index because it would make it look bad. But some of these inflation numbers are over 20%. It's just not. So thank a salary, 250,000 to just shy of $900,000 a year. Salary. Plus load, which you have to add normally what about 30%? [01:06:48] And then plus all of the equipment, plus the CSO needs a team, everything else. This is a huge problem. And they need to be hiring people to fill those jobs they use. These are just amazing. Permanent remote positions in the us doubled from 9%, 18% during the last quarter of 2021 doubled in the last quarter of last year ladders. [01:07:18] And. All on jobs. This is according to the ladders. Okay. And it could increase to 25% by 2020 since making the transition to remote. First, we have been able to broaden our hiring options globally and not be restricted to a talent pool in one area. Now that's an interesting thing too, and that presents some interesting problems. [01:07:42] It's one thing to manage people who are out of the. Upbringing as you are that have the same standards that you are and hiring somebody from somewhere else in the world, they're going to have different expectations. And boy, have I found that by hiring teams in India, Russia, and the Philippines, as well as the us. [01:08:08] Big differences. So you gotta be, you gotta be careful with all that. Okay. So I promised I would get here into resumes for people like us, right? This is not what they say. And this is particularly interesting to me because again, I'm still working and I do it on a contract basis, obviously. I provide these services. [01:08:29] This is something I think that applies to me too. So I'm pulling up a page. You can see on the screen, this is from the muse.com and it's called smart moves, age proof resumes for older workers. Okay. And they have four of them set up and they've got a nice picture of a lady. Looks like she's working from home with age, comes, wisdom and experience. [01:08:51] That's why I was shocked. When I saw what was going hot and right. Where they were going ahead and saying, don't put anything on your resume. That makes it look like you're older. Okay. The quote here is age-ism is an unfortunate and very real part of the job search for older workers. And for some, it can start to creep into their experience as early as their forties. [01:09:17] Isn't that incredible? Absolutely incredible. It's, I kinda dealt with this way back when, in the eighties, because I was younger then obviously than I am now. And there's this impression, at least there was, and it seems just still be around. But somehow if you're working with newer technologies, you need young people to do. [01:09:40] That is not true. As I've said a million times, there's only a few ways that you can code something. So if you're a programmer and you want to solve a problem, there's really only a few ways to do it. In fact, there's books published with algorithms. That's the. Programmed stuff, right? The core of the programming that show you how to do things. [01:10:04] So w we'll be back in just a minute, take a minute. Visit me online. Craig peterson.com. I love to see you there. And when we get back, we're going to finish this discussion, but it's an important one for employers as well as employees here, because I think many businesses are making a huge mistake. Craig peterson.com. [01:10:32] We just talked some more about hiring. Age-ism the problems that come with that for both the employer and the employee. And we're going to get now more into this from the muse. We're going to talk about the four things you should be doing with your resume. [01:10:48] There's there's a lot to be said for having experience. I mentioned about how businesses who are hiring programmers should really rethink the idea of hiring the young guy that knows the latest programming languages. [01:11:07] Because again, There are so many things that you need to know besides how do you code this line? It's what Google did for many years. It probably still does. They don't want you to necessarily write a program in go, which is Google's latest, cool language, but they want you to solve a problem. They want to see your problem solving skills. [01:11:32] How are you going to do it? Nobody has more skills than someone that's been doing that for decades. Again, there's only so many ways to program something. I don't care what language you're using. We used to have a saying, you can write COBOL in any language, but it's true. That's all we used to say. [01:11:53] So when it comes to it in general, the older the person is the more experience they have in the field. The better off they're going to be with your company. Because again, there's only so many ways to break into a computer. Yeah. There's the latest, greatest virus out there, but managing people, managing expectations, working with senior staff, doing presentations for investors. [01:12:23] That's the sort of thing that takes experience. How do you get that experience? There's only one way and that's to get the experience. It takes time learning a new programming language for a programmer, not a big deal at all. Again, there's only so many ways to do something and a programmer like me. [01:12:41] That's done a lot written hundreds of thousands of lines of code, and at least a dozen computer languages. Pick it up. A new language is easy. I picked up Python and was able to be programming in it. Using API APIs online, all of the newest ways of programming and interfacing with other backend systems. [01:13:03] I was able to write something that was putting together a whole bunch of cybersecurity stuff from scratch in the matter of a couple of hours on a language I'd never used before. Okay. How do you deal with that? It's the question of the hour, right? So let's have a look at this article here from the muse. [01:13:24] They've got some suggestions for us. No. If you've been in the work case for workplace, excuse me, for decades, you've got a lot of experience, but putting it all down can be a real liability. I remember I used to have a a dossier. I had a resume, which was like a one pager. Then I had a dossier. The one on for 30 plus pages of all the things I had done. [01:13:51] I wrote some of the very first I designed and implemented and used for a customer, some of the very first firewalls ever made routers, load sharing. But do I want to put that all on the resume? Probably not, but I understand that technology extremely well. So the resumes don't have to be a single page, but it's saying, remember it doesn't have to be a memoir. [01:14:19] It doesn't have to be like my dossier going through everything to prove your worth. And what they're saying here specifically. This is a Gary Sussman. It's just a marketing tool whose sole purpose is to land you an interview. It doesn't have to be exhaustive and comprehensive just has to show that you can solve the problem. [01:14:40] The hiring manager is hiring someone to solve and the beauty right now, again, if you're in the it, if you're in cybersecurity is they need. People. So it's going to be easier to get through. And if you are an older person who has learned a bit about cyber security, maybe taken an online course or two, that you have a much better job or a chance of getting hired for job than you probably have ever had. [01:15:06] Okay. It goes on and on employers are most interested in how your recent work ties back to the job that you're applying for rather than your experience 15 years ago. Okay. That makes sense. So dedicate more resume space to detailing the positions you've held over the past to 10 to 15 years that are related to the job. [01:15:30] Number two, do not date yourself. No. I mentioned earlier in the show that most businesses now are using some form of machine learning call it artificial intelligence, whatever you might want to call it, but they are doing the initial cuts. So they're looking for buzzwords that's for sure. Okay. And. [01:15:53] What they're also looking for

We look at the Green Recovery stimulus in Europe v countries leading the recovery with more climate changing fossil fuels. The Europeans and NZ are leading the way with massive thermal retrofits for social and private  housing.https://www.vivideconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/200605-Green-Stimulus-Index-1.pdf The most exhilarating voice is a Year 9 student, Daisy Millpark, who tells us how the students are informing themselves beyond the classroom. She has talked  to First Nations people and Nurses Association members on the frontlines of climate change. Hearing their experiences she is confronted by the fact climate change is taking lives. She says that activism can be draining but they are not backing down because of COVID. There is an online rally phone jamming the government at every level.Please keep FRiday 25th September join in. The school students in Australia are calling on our Government to "Fund our Future not gas" You can join their actions on Friday September 25th wherever you are https://www.schoolstrike4climate.com/buildourfutureThe School Strike 4 Climate movement demands no new coal, oil and gas projects, including the Adani mine, 100 per cent renewable energy generation and exports by 2030 and funding to create new jobs for all fossil fuel workers and communities. Penny Howard tells us why the MUA is actually on the front foot even through many of their members are employed shipping coal , oil and gas or supplying off shoregas wells. They are proud of getting the ball rolling on the jobs of the future and making the transition. They want to look the students in the eye and say we support you. Also the climate movement need to know how the jobs of the future need to be good quality, well protected jobs not like Tony Abbot's Green Army paid less than the minimum wage.We talk about zero carbon ships on the horizon. Could we manufacture them here? Penny describes low carbon jobs that reduce emissions from our economy taking care of people instead of damaging them.

This week's Argyle Chat welcomes a very special guest to the show as departing player of the year Antoni Sarcevic kindly joined us to talk about his time with the Pilgrims and his decision to leave Home Park.Signed by Derek Adams in January 2017, the former Chester, Fleetwood and Shrewsbury midfielder has had a great time in the Westcountry, where he was able to revive his football career and become a firm fans' favourite as well. The 'Manchester Messi' talks candidly about his decision to leave,m his time with the Pilgrims and gives his view on the nickname handed him by the Green Army. Sarcevic also answers the many questions sent in to us, before giving an emotional farewell to the Green Army that lauded his performances in a green shirt... and I think it's safe to say you haven't heard or seen the last of the popular now former Pilgrim just yet. So sit back and enjoy your regular dose of Argyle Chat with the Manchester Messi!

After a few weeks away due to staff being on furlough, we are delighted to be back with Chris Errington and Jak Ball joining host Stuart James to talk all things Argyle.It looks as though the season will finish imminently, so what does that mean for Argyle? And is it fair they get promoted to League One in what has effectively become football's equivalent of Musical Chairs! What now for Argyle manager Ryan Lowe as he sorts out his retained list? And just when can the Green Army look forward to a return to Home Park?!All that and plenty more, so sit back, relax and enjoy 40 minutes of Argyle Chat...

Chance Burles (8 year Army veteran - Combat Engineer) Micheal Quinn (18 year Army veteran - Combat Engineer and CANSOFCOM) Mike and I talk about the tools used for the control of ones emotions and some of the differences between the Green Army vs Special Operations.

This is turning into a season to remember for Plymouth Argyle, who extended their recent fine run with a convincing 3-0 win at Carlisle United on Saturday. 'He's one of our own' sang the Green Army as 'that boy' Luke Jephcott added another brace to the one he got at Scunthorpe United seven days earlier, which led to Ryan Lowe calling him his 'Goal Machine!'We discuss Jephcott's impact and whether he has the attributes to go far and ask whether Ryan Lowe has finally got his chance converters after a goalscoring debut from fellow frontman Ryan Hardie. Or will he look to do further business this January?We look ahead to the return of Graham Coughlan to Home Park on Saturday (for what feels like the tenth time this season) and the clash with Mansfield Town.

You join us in the Emerald Isle for today’s episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. We’re taking a look at a historic afternoon for Irish football from 2001, alongside JOE’s Dion Fanning!The Netherlands arrived at Lansdowne Road with qualification for the 2002 World Cup on the line, while Mick McCarthy’s men had enjoyed a hugely successful qualifying campaign. Louis van Gaal had began to drift from his traditional 4-3-3 philosophy by this point, after a tough spell at Barcelona, and as this game slipped through their fingers he even finished the game playing four strikers.In contrast, Dion remembers how this game was perhaps “the last time Irish football felt united and moving in the same direction.” The Green Army were still the usual underdogs but, with a fantastic goal from Jason McAteer and a stalwart performance from captain Roy Keane, they secured World Cup qualification in front of 35,000 at Lansdowne Road.Fancy getting in touch?

Argyle Chat returns on a somewhat happier note this week. There was no Devon Derby disappointment to mull over, or time to fill following a postponement as the Pilgrims got back on track with a superb 1-0 win at Bolton| Wanderers in the FA Cup.It was the first time in 20 years that Argyle had beaten a team from a higher league, so the podcast's Chris Errington reliably informs us, and all eyes will be on Monday night's draw to see who Argyle get in round two.We also discuss Derek Adams' return to management at Morecambe (who Argyle face on December 14) and with a trip to the meat-free New Lawn this weekend, to take on Forest Green Rovers, it will be a case of mint tea, veggie burger and onion bhajis rather than piping hot Bovril, a Mars Bar and a chicken Balti pie for the Green Army!

That free kick, though...has there been any other topic of conversation among Torquay United fans this week? Armani Little announced his Plainmoor arrival by opening the gate for Argyle to take the lead in Tuesday night's friendly.But moments later he more than made amends with a free kick as good as you will see anywhere in the wide world of football. Even the Green Army took to social media to sing his praises after a night when Gary Johnson's Gulls won a football match and also won over a whole lot of new fans.

The wait is over for supporters of Plymouth Argyle with a new man in charge following the appointment of Ryan Lowe as first team manager last week. The 40-year-old Liverpudlian leaves Bury, who he guided to promotion from League Two last season, to take over the job at Home Park with the Pilgrims believed to have paid £150,000 to settle his contract at Gigg Lane. It is certainly a signal of Simon Hallett's intent after taking ownership of the Home Park boardroom, so Chris Errington and Jak Ball join Stuart James to discuss the appointment and what could happen next for Argyle For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

This week's ArgyleChat podcast looks back on a tempestuous few days for Plymouth Argyle which saw them crash to a shocking 5-1 defeat to Accrington Stanley, fall into the League One relegation zone, with one game remaining and then sack manager Derek Adams and his assistant Paul Wotton.

Kay hosts this special edition of Fan Reaction with Plymouth Argyle fan and Bayern Munich Correspondent for ESPN, Mark Lovell. While the game presented a frustrating evening for the reds, it was an evening of unrestrained joy for Plymouth's Green Army. We start, however, by discussing some things related to the Bundesliga including Klopp's stint at Dortmund, and what's happened at the club since he's left. Onto the game, and pod moves into the Plymouth defensive approach, the lack of LFC penetration and real clear chance creation, and perhaps a chance for Plymouth to take the win right at the end. We also discuss Plymouth and their exploits in League Two, and what this result and the replay will mean for them. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
