It's like, I love this thing. It makes me feel good. I get passion from, I get creativity from it and that was my motivation. That was it. It's like having the next conversation.Lesley Logan 0:13  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:56  Hi, Be It babe. Okay, this was such a fun interview to do. I had the pleasure of meeting our guest and his wife when Brad and I were at this, we're invited to this thing that I'm gonna not, I'm not gonna lie, we're invited to this thing. You probably heard us talk about it back around the April, May time, and we're like, how do we get invited to do this? Like, what are we doing here? We're not even experts in this area, and we had to Be It Till We See It in that space in the moment, and that's when we met Jose and Britt and they're the podcast hosts of Finding Arizona. Brad and I had the pleasure of being on their podcast. Yes, Brad, that our Brad was on a podcast. You guys, he is a performer, and we hide him behind a camera, but we really shouldn't, because he's so amazing. So anyways, I am super excited for you to hear Jose and I talk about podcasting, about starting something new, so you don't have to, even you don't turn this off if you're like, I never run a podcast. I think it's really cool to hear how people come up with ideas and then see yourself in that story. So we talk about starting a podcast, what it's like to start something that we have no accountability around, we have to create it ourselves. So if you're someone who has a hard time with that, like, hearing the story, and then also, we talk a lot about goal setting and working with your partner and kiddos and what's next. So this is just a really, I feel like you probably are gonna feel like you're having coffee with Jose and I. So here is the host of Finding Arizona, Jose Acevedo. Lesley Logan 2:21  All right, Be It babe. This is fun. It's always fun for me when I get to talk to a fellow podcaster, but it's really fun when I really know that podcaster and we have a great story and we have a great vibe. Jose Acevedo, you are our guest today. You are the host of Finding Arizona. And, you guys, don't worry if you don't know where Arizona is, we're gonna talk more of than just Arizona today. But can you tell us who you are and what you rock at?Jose Acevedo 2:44  Yeah, my name is Jose Acevedo. I am a podcaster, and I'm also, like, a fan of you, Lesley. Thank you so much for having me, and I'm just again, I'm a true cheerleader for the locals here who are doing what they love to do their passion projects, everything in between, from nonprofit to high CEOs in the corporate areas. We want to get to know them, their story and how they come into the world, and how they journey across and make an effort to be a community member here in Arizona. Lesley Logan 3:14  So I feel like you are the greatest cheerleader, like you have curiosity. You're excited about what people are doing, and you want to share their stories, is that something that you went to school for, is that something you've always done? You don't even do in a podcast but everybody else's stuff, like, where did that come from? Jose Acevedo 3:29  Yeah, so I spent a bit of my life on the East Coast, and that's where my father and my mother took me to go really early on in my childhood to really kind of give me an opportunity. A. they wanted to get out of the heat of Arizona, but B. they wanted to move to other places where their children could learn and grow and kind of get a unique sense of the world. And then when I moved again for the second time, and this was a very significant point in my life, I was going away from being an adolescent to a kind of a teenager and into the kind of adulthood. And we moved back to my mom's Indian Reservation, and that is near the four corners here in Arizona. It's the Hopi Reservation, and I knew very little, to almost nothing, about my heritage and my Hopi culture. And so that was a very big, pivotal learning point about who I am as an individual, who I want to be as a man in the future. And the biggest kind of teacher in that was my grandfather, who was an elder in the community, who held a lot of stories, and who also really loved storytelling. And that was really kind of that moment of like, really crux of getting to understand what storytelling meant and what its importance was, what it can do for a society and a culture that has been on this earth for so long and has thrived just from hearing these stories and using that as a religion. And so for me, I had to very much dive deep into, you know, these different types of elements of storytelling, but how they also relate to my own life. And it was hard. It was definitely something very significant where I pushed back on it at points. I definitely had my moments of, like, teen angst and those types of things, but I also learned a lot about who I am and who my people are and what I want to give back into this world and give back into society and culture. So that was a really big point in my life, of like, learning about who I am and who my culture was. Then I came down to Phoenix and went to college, and really kind of stumbled upon podcasting as kind of this new wave of having a dialog and having conversation and actually storytelling to the masses, but also having these intimate conversations with individuals. So really, how it turned out to be what it is today is I was having conversations with business owners about their business through screen printing. I was screen printing T-shirts for these different owners, and I would just have a really fun time having these conversations and really getting to, like, go back and forth with them, getting to know them and what they're about and all these things. And they seem to really enjoy it. I'd get comments like, Oh, I really love this conversation. Thank you for having with me. Thank you for showing interest. Oh, you should be a news reporter, or you should be on the radio. All these types of compliments. And really, it dawned on me, when I was screen printing their shirts and listening to other podcasts that I'm like, really enjoying of like, oh, I should just do this. This has always been fun for me to listen to. I should at least attempt to do these conversations, to record them. So that that kind of snowballed into had to learn how to record, had to learn how to edit, had to learn how to do a website, how to like, upload them and just create this thing that I thought was cool that now has now become a big part of my life and a big part of my family's life. My wife got involved by meeting me, and I had to tell her, can't really go out on dates on weekends, because I'm doing this thing, recording and editing and all these things. And she was like, oh, I love podcasts. Let me listen to it. And so that has now turned into her becoming my producer. And now my son has just been born three years ago during the pandemic, and we were doing a lot of zoom calls, and now he knows that when Dada goes to work, it's like a lot of the times it's podcasting. So he's like, Dada, you go do podcasts? And it's just been really that thing that has affected me on a personal level, but me on a grander scale of legacy.Lesley Logan 7:45  I mean, and you've been doing this for 10 years, Finding Arizona, so like, y'all, we've been only podcasting for about three and a half years at this point. Podcasting has been around for a really long time, but so few people knew how to find the app on their phone and knew what it was and what I just, thank you for sharing the journey, because it's so cool you were already doing something, and then people were like, this is really cool you do this. And so you took it, and I, so many people are like, how did you come with this idea? How did you come with this idea? Y'all listen to what people are saying you're really great at, or complimenting you on, because that's what they think you're great at. And it becomes, it's so easy and natural for you, you don't see it as an opportunity or something that's unique, because it's natural to you. But what a cool gig. I love it. And also, the people are already coming to you. So you're like, what is this shirt for this automobile thing? How did they do it? I love that also, thank you for sharing your show about your grandfather. I think there's a book called Sapiens, and I didn't read the whole thing, you guys, it's really long. I kept it. I haven't given it away because I swear to pick it up. But what they say is that humans actually stayed in existence because of storytelling, and I do think that, you know, the Native Americans have really shown us that storytelling is really how we keep, we understand what happened in our past. We understand we're going to like, we understand things on a bigger level than just us as humans and I think it's so beautiful. So thank you for sharing all of that. Jose Acevedo 9:10  Of course.Lesley Logan 9:10  Okay, you had to learn all these things to be a podcaster. You all who are trying to make something new happen your life, whenever we say podcast and you can insert what you are doing, trying to be. What was it like having the first interview? Because you already were good at it, because you'd ask people question, but then you had to, like, hit record. Were you shaking in your boots? Did it feel easy? Did you re-record it? Tell us about it.Jose Acevedo 9:32  So I think you're absolutely right when it comes to these very, we had this conversation on my podcast and just off air, where I feel sometimes I'm like, I'm so nervous and flustered because I'm such a fan of people who come on our show, because we do research about these people, and we're like, oh, they're so cool. They're like, this and that. And so I get nervous just because I have this excitement about me. So yes, my very first episode where I said to myself, yes, I want to record. I want to do this. I want to make it a thing. I actually did it with my boss, like of the screen printing shop, because I felt like A. we had a great dynamic. We were just really fun and chit-chatty with each other. And B. I felt like all of his stories were so funny and so like, dynamic and filled with all of these intrigue and just the way he said things was just so funny to me. And it was, yeah, it was exciting to me to share what he was about. But again, it was like, so nerve wracking, because I didn't know if this was gonna work, or I didn't know if any of my equipment was done right, or if I was like, I'm just shooting myself in the foot. We might have to record and other things, and I was so nervous, and really I just wanted it to be a fun situation, which it was. It was so much fun, and I really look back on it, and was like, oh my gosh, so he was barely paying attention to he's working on other shirts. And I was like, having this conversation while we're interviewing. He was so great, though, because he could do that, and then still have the conversation and throw in the quits, throw in the bits, throw in the funny. Lesley Logan 11:05  It probably made him feel even more comfortable, because he wasn't like, sitting down and professionally recording.Jose Acevedo 11:10  Yeah, his thing. And it was just me saying, hey, can I record this? And then it turned into, I like the way that this felt. I like the feeling of it. I love, was it so great? That was like, did I think it was going to be this Pulitzer Prize winning interview thing? No, but I love the way it felt. I love the way it turned out. And I was like, maybe let's try it again, but let's sit down with someone who's not so busy. It's like someone who's like, a little bit more attentive and paying attention to me in my conversation with them, and it would just go from one client to the next, and I was like, oh, there's a way to like, then you start to pick out like, oh, there's a way to ask this question, or there's a way to steer them into this one area, or they draw their guard down when after the half hour mark. So I should get more personal questions towards the end there. And so if you really learn the dynamics of a conversation and through so much of doing it repetitively and doing the work over and over again.Lesley Logan 12:13  You, you know, that is true. It's also like you're never going to be 10 years version of you versus one year, like, you can't learn the 100 times experience until you've done it 100 times. Like, it's just got to happen. We have to have grace with ourselves. And also, it is true, the more you do it, the more you realize who are fun people to interview. What are the qualities? That person has a great story, but they're not a really good interview. So if we're having a hard time having a conversation, it's not going to go well. Versus, when do I ask the questions that are more personal, that do take more vulnerability? Some people, you know, when you podcast, a lot like we do, I can get vulnerable on an episode pretty early on, because I know what. I know that I can share. I know how it usually goes. But not everyone's like that. Some people are amazing experts, and they do a few podcasts. And so we have to kind of understand when the best time is to to bring things out. I want to know because you started this on your own, and you were also like, let me see how this goes. So how did you hold yourself accountable to releasing the episodes? Because the thing about anything is you have to be consistent, and especially at the time when podcasting wasn't really big, you know, how did you choose to be consistent with something you didn't know what it would be yet?Jose Acevedo 13:27  So, yeah, I, again, I think it goes back to, I think one of the early s tarts in my beginning was like goal setting, like, how do I want this to be a thing, or how do I want this to come out. And so one of the very first conversations that I had was, do I want this to be a weekly? Do I want this to be monthly? Do I want this to be a series? And, you know, how do I want to put out this series? And so I just really kind of more approached it from, uh, that kind of goal setting. Let's start off slow. Let's do it a monthly or let's, you know, I think it was monthly, in the very first beginning of, like, I'm going to have these deep conversations for more than an hour or an hour long, and really hone in on the individual and have those deep realm conversations. And then once I had a few underneath my belt, I really started to say, okay, I think I can push this even further. And, like, really, after the first year, I was like, okay, let's go to every two weeks, like a biweekly. Then it came to like, oh, I am really getting emails from a lot of places that wanted to be on the show or was showing interest. And I was like, okay, well, now I have a lot of interest. And I also, at that point, I started, you know, having someone follow, do the pictures and help me out a little bit. And so I was like, okay, I can do this. I can make this a weekly thing. And so I pushed myself even further to make it a weekly podcast and have these really fun conversations. And also, then we got to some really fun goal setting there, it was like, there was a month that was just filled with farmers, and when we started to really push the envelope on some of these ideas, and had some fun throughout the years that we've been doing it, what, how does this podcast work? Or how does it look like? What do people find interest in? Or what are some of the things that are really pushing the envelope of like how this community works here in Arizona or here in Phoenix particularly, so, it was really kind of listening to the audience, and also goal setting for myself is really what kept me going. And because I had such an intrigue on not only the people who were coming onto the podcast, but an intrigue in making this a business, I think it was kind of easier to say, okay, these are the goals. This is how I want to approach it. This is how I want it to come out. This is how I want it to be seen. And how do I make sure that I get these? Well, it's baby steps. Okay, first you get the yes from the person, then you schedule them, and then do the conversation, and then you set a date of, like, when they're going to come out. And then you make sure you edit in that time frame. It's those little baby steps that'll move you forward and move the the needle here and there. And so it was just, again, one part my my end of like, goal setting and listening to the audience. But two, make sure that you write down your goals and push yourself to reach those goals and make sure that it comes out. Lesley Logan 13:28  Yeah, I love that you mentioned the baby steps, because I think that's where people get a goal set. Then they don't break it down, the baby actions, and then it just feels overwhelming to do. And then they think they need motivation, which is the biggest lie, because that's inconsistent, so. Jose Acevedo 16:24  Yeah, my motivation was the podcast. I love this thing. It makes me feel good. I get passion from, I get creativity from it. And that was my motivation. That was it. It was like having the next conversation. Lesley Logan 16:55  So, do you podcast full time? This is your job now, or do you have other things to do? Jose Acevedo 16:59  I'll be honest. No, this isn't my full time gig, but it feels like a second job or more, but I'll be honest, I, when the pandemic hit, I was working with a landscape architecture firm, and that's what I went to school for, is landscape architecture, and I had a real choice, because we were getting a lot of intrigue in the podcast. But what happened was Brittany got pregnant, and it was the pandemic. She was actually coming out of a job in the healthcare system, and we were really worried, because she would hear horror stories from the healthcare about the pandemic and about people suffering through this thing. Lesley Logan 17:40  Or our healthcare workers were on the front line, and we didn't really have a lot of support for them. We still don't. That didn't change. Jose Acevedo 17:48  And so for me, I was like, oh man, I'm bringing this new life into the world. I need to figure out a way to make sure that he's healthy. And so I took a job at a bigger firm that would allow me to work from home and be with him, but also give me health insurance. And really, I like to say it's I'm not afraid to let go of that job right now to move into podcasting full time. But for the time being, my son is safe, my family's healthy, and we are still working consistently on this podcast, and I have, it hasn't worn on me. It hasn't made me feel tired. I just love what I do, and if I can do this continuously, the way that we have been, I'm okay with that. We're at that pivotal point too. It's like, which one of us is going to let go of their job to go full time with this podcast? And I don't know, we still have this conversation, and I'll be honest, like, all the time, like, who's going to do it? What are we going to do? And we just kind of look at each other and we're like, it's a good problem to have, yeah, but we're still at a standstill. We're still waiting. I think we have a goal set. I think that we have clientele, and once we reach that number of clientele that will allow us to let go of one of the jobs that we work, then we'll move into more full time. And I think that's a good, again, goal setting. Types of things where it's like baby steps, we have an actual number, and once we hit that, then that'll be the key to unlock the door of full time work. And working that podcast full time. Lesley Logan 19:22  Thank you. And also it's, here's the thing. These are all things we have to think about. It's really funny when people know that I'm on YouTube, they're like, oh, you must make so much on YouTube. I'm like, not everyone's it, a full time YouTuber. The amount of money I spend on the payroll to edit the YouTube is not how much I get paid from YouTube. I get paid. I get paid monthly. And I'm so grateful thank you for watching those views. Keep watching, but we glamorize things, and we think, oh, they're doing this. So it must be doing so. And yes, the ads you have, or content fees, or all the different appearances that could all bring an income, but you and I live currently in a place where healthcare isn't a given, and so unfortunately, someone has to have it. And, two, I'll just be really honest guys, someone has to have a W2 in a relationship, because if you both, like our, Brad and I, and you work for the company, no one wants to give you a loan. Like, the hoops. It took us 18 months to get our mortgage, 18 months we could to pay the bill we're already paying, you know. So I share that because it's frustrating. And if you're in that situation, we see you and we hear you, and it's the other thing that we talked about on your podcast, Finding Arizona, is putting pressure on something before it's ready can actually destroy it. Or Big Magic, have you read the book Big Magic? Jose Acevedo 20:36  No. I'm going to write this down. Lesley Logan 20:37  Oh, put it on your list, Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love girl. So her book, Big Magic, I have read multiple times, and she says, ideas want to be born. So if you have an idea and you don't act on it, someone else will do it, which is why you're like, oh, I had that idea. Like, you didn't do anything about that, right? So there's that. But also, she says, if your idea is artistic, if it's creative and you try to live off of it before it is ready. You will filter, change, correct, make. You might even lower standards or make decisions based on the income you need at the time versus what the art was, the creativity, the vision, the goal was in the first place. So she shares she did not quit her job as a professor, even after she sold Eat, Pray, Love to movies. She really waited until she knew I can live off of me being Elizabeth Gilbert, the writer, and it's really awesome. And I really love that vulnerability, because there is a dream I have where I just get to interview people and go on retreats and, you know, teach my mentorship. But also got a mortgage to pay. I got retirement. Jose Acevedo 20:37  Yeah, you got to work towards it. Lesley Logan 20:37  Yeah. And we got retirement accounts we want to make sure, there's a lot going on. So you have to kind of balance like, am I playing small or am I playing it wise? It's a game of life. Am I making the right decision in this moment for where we want to go? Jose Acevedo 22:08  Yeah, and I feel the exact same way of you bring up this, this idea of baby steps, and I feel like that's where we kind of refocus a lot of the times on and not like we don't want it. It is about putting effort into everyday tasks or everyday things that allow us to move forward and move that needle to the point where we were like, yes, this is everything's pointing to. We can do this now, and we can transition and not feel like again the pressure is come solely on the creative part, the thing that we love doing, and now it has to hold us financially up. It's one of those things where it's like, and I brought this up on our party, it's like, that's what brings me most fears, because I've always loved doing this, and I don't want it to be like this martyr of like, it has to feed me, it has to, you know, pay my bills and all these things where that, when it was in the beginning, was just this fun conversation, this, this fun, light-hearted thing of like, tell me about yourself, tell me why, and to put pressure on it so much to the point where it's like the people ask us, why do you put yourself in a corner by just focusing on Arizona? Well, it's not putting yourself in a corner. It's actually this ever evolving thing that always changes, that always has newcomers, that always has someone. Lesley Logan 23:25  You are never gonna run out of content. Jose Acevedo 23:27  Yeah, never gonna run out of content. And so no, it's not that it's having passion for something that is ever evolving, and wanting to show light on that and give people a chance at the table and give them the mic to recruit for themselves, like advocate for themselves, and have joy for what they created, and all of these things. And I. Lesley Logan 23:45  I mean, you wouldn't run out of content if it was just finding Phoenix like you just wouldn't. And there's like, how many millions of people live in Arizona and then moving to Arizona and leave it like, there's always going to be new options for listeners. And I think don't ever let anyone tell you you niche down too much, because that's not even true. But I think what you guys could challenge yourself is like, what are the fears, and what would it look like if it did work? And then we'll set from there, because that's how, I like to work backwards. When the pandemic hit and we actually had to start from scratch-ish, we already had OPC. It was already in existence, but it wasn't paying our bills. What paid our bills was me touring the world and teaching in real life. So I was like, okay, if this has to pay our bills, how does that look like? What is it? What is it looking to put pressure on this, and how do we do it so we're not making compromises that are not, because what most people want is they want a Netflix option. They want to do Pilates whenever they want to do it. They want to have access to their old class whenever they want. But they don't, because they actually don't use it then. How long have you got whether you don't check one of your streaming accounts? And so there were values that I was like, no, this is hell. I'm going to die on this, because that's what makes us unique. Like you're like, no, we're Finding Arizona. We're not finding the US, like we're, or the southwest, or whatever the Sun Belt is, whatever they like to call us. You're not that. So, you know, I think there's things where like this is for sure never gonna change. We're never gonna do that. But what does that look like if it works? And what does working look like? And sometimes you're afraid to dream big because it is possible. It's so scary. So I don't wanna discount that. Brad and I, the only reason I can say that we lucked out is that we were forced in a pandemic to make it work, because it was like we had to pay our bills. We don't, we don't we work for ourselves. There is no one sending me any money for a paycheck to work from home. We have a great couple that we know, and seeing them thrive today is like really fun. We watched these two people doing the dream like they were performers. They both were headliners on The Strip. They had their dream home, and in the same week, both of their shows closed, and we were like, I'm so sorry, and they said this to us, and there was something that always sticks with me. They're like they were velvet handcuffs. And the idea of me going out and audition again, I just don't even want to do it. I'm most grateful that this happened, and he has, he went back to school. He changed his life. They're having a baby like they both have changed, transformed what their resume is and what they do on this planet. And it's cool how it can change, but it also, when you have a consistent paychecks coming in, it can, it's hard. It's hard. So. Jose Acevedo 24:00  I've heard this one individual. I can't even, I'm bad with names, but I'm always so invested in what people say and what their beliefs are. But it's like, I heard this saying, Do your life the nine to five, so that the five to nine is your, you know.Lesley Logan 26:32  Oh yeah. You work to live, not live to work. So you're like, your nine to five is only there to make sure that your five to nine is super cool.Jose Acevedo 26:39  Yeah and so that's where I'm at right now in life, and it's just really been great. And it's, I cannot tell you that it makes me feel good that A. I still have a passion for it, and B. it's building this legacy, not just for me, but for the little guy. In all honesty, fatherhood has changed a lot about how I see the world, how I perceive the world, and how I, you know, go about the world and it's joy when he says that I have fun doing a podcast is the best thing that I can say about what this means to me now, because it's just again, I want him to know that I'm a good dad, but I also want him to know that I'm a good person as well, because I care enough that I have these conversations with the people, because I don't want to feel like I don't love the world. I don't want to, I don't want him to think that you can't, you, you're, you need to be afraid of everyone. I want him to know that there are good people out there, and there's a community that will back him, and so hopefully down the road, he'll see a couple of the episodes and be like, my dad, I love him. He did a great job doing this.Lesley Logan 27:49  That's so beautiful. That's amazing, and it is interesting. We can see our life through the lens of someone else, because there's a lot of things that can weigh on us that actually have nothing to do with the big picture, but they feel very important. There are certain things that really make sure that they're like, I want to be heard and I want to be seen, that actually are not that big of a deal, and they're not part of the goals. But when the obstacle happens or the mess happens, they can feel like they're priority. And then you have this guy, his name's Atlas, right? Jose Acevedo 28:18  Yeah, his name's Atlas, yeah. Lesley Logan 28:19  Atlas go, did you have fun doing this thing that you love? And it's like, yeah, thank you for bringing me back down to earth and remind me what I do. That's so, it's so fun. It's so cute. Jose Acevedo 28:27  Yeah, it's just something about his joy of the world and life itself, it just brings me back to like, calm and steady. And again, it's like, fatherhood has changed me 100% from this, you know, I always felt like I was like, I'm so selfish. I'm like, I want so much for myself. Then he came into my world, and he's changed so much about me, and I want so much for him, and so much for him to see everything and give him a lot of the things that I didn't have as a child. But I understood, I understand now as an adult, my parents did the best that they could with everything that they had, and that is all I want to do for him. And if that means, you know, keep podcasting because it makes you happy, dad, then I'm going to keep doing that. And you know, there's a lot of things that it's just, again, they're not as important in hindsight right now, because I'm just really so glad that he's given me the opportunity to see the world and through his eyes and through his perspective, and want to just make it the happiest, joyous childhood ever. Lesley Logan 28:51  Oh, my goodness. And also, you're not sacrificing something you love because you think it will make that you're showing your son, you and Britt are both showing your child, like, you can do things that make you happy and you don't have to sacrifice the things you love to do that. I think it's really cool for them to grow up in a household where, like, yes, you have a nine to five, but also this other thing that makes you really happy, and you're dedicated to it, and you see it through. We had a guest on Episode Five, everyone. She said actions are caught, not taught. She's very aware that her kids are watching what she says about herself and what she does. I want to ask we don't have Britt here today, so unfortunately, we'll have to hang out with her another moment. But you work with your spouse on this podcast. Brad and I work together, and I'm sure you guys get all the time,. I don't know, I don't want to assume, but people are like, oh my God, tell me how you and Brad work together because I think I want to work with my partner. I find myself going, maybe don't do it. And I love working with my husband. But also, I'm particularly aware that it's not unicorn and glitter all the time. Jose Acevedo 30:38  Yeah, absolutely, yeah. Lesley Logan 30:39  So tell us how it came to be that Britt started working on the show and like, how do you two each share this incredible podcast together? How do you guys make it work?Jose Acevedo 30:50  Yeah, so we had this conversation too. It's like on my podcast, where it's I told you about how I met her through work and through working in a co-working office, and just again, being intimidated by someone of her stature at the time, she had her own business, and I was just working my first big boy job out of college, and really it was like I was interested in her, and she asked me for my WiFi password. We had these conversations. We were getting to know each other. And then I was like, I want to take you out on a date. I don't think I have the time during the weekend, and I'm kind of worried to tell you why. And she's like, why are you embarrassed? I'm like, I'm embarrassed because I have this podcast that keeps me very busy when I'm not working here on my job and she's like, oh, I love podcasts. So she binged the entirety of all my podcasts that weekend, and she was like, look, I love what you do. I think it's so interesting. Can I help you somehow? Is there some way I can help you take photos or something? I was like, that would be really great. That would be really awesome. And I would thank you so much. And if I pay you, like, let me. She's like, no, no, no. Just let me help you and you can teach me. And so I was like, she was interested in photography at the time. So she was like, okay, let's go do this first episode. And then actually turned into a date. It was really her way of showing interest in me and wanting to do this together. And she took photos the very first time as a date. And we, you know, had, it was luckily, at an ice cream shop, and it was this, like shaved ice. So she took photos. We ate and had dessert afterwards. And then it evolved into dating a lot. And she was being involved. She was helping me produce. She was helping me get clients, get people on the show. And then she came up with ideas on how to actually make this a business. And I took it to heart because she owned her own business. And we had these conversations before about like, how does Finding Arizona become more than just a podcast? How do we approach it in a business aspect? And I very much, I think, what is the best part about our relationship is I'm very open to her having a conversation with me. Communication, I think, is our best ability between the two of us. I think one, her vulnerability and empathetic nature to connect with me and wanting to share her ideas was the biggest part of how we grew together and how we emotionally stayed connected, but also really move forward in hard times, having being communicative and just communicating how we feel, how we think we should go about, you know, moving forward through a struggle or anything like that. I think that is the best way that we kind of came together and said, okay, this is how the business work. I showed her everything. I was like, this is how I do everything. Where do I go from here? Like, how do I go and move this forward? How do I make this a business? How do I, you know, do my taxes through this and all these things. And so she sat down with me. We've had this conversations on more than one occasion of these are the things that you need to have this business thrive. And so she was kind of teaching me and being my coach. And now we're, I'd like to say we're on the same page a lot of the times when it comes to what we should be providing. What we should be doing next. What are should be the next goal, baby step forward and communication. I think having those points in our relationship to A. talk about ourselves and talk about how we feel about each other, but B. talk about the business. So typically, we'll have, and this is kind of looking into the our relationship, at the end of the year, we'll have kind of this business conversation, but throughout the year we'll have personal conversations, go on dates, really try our best to talk about leave the business side and talk about A. our goals as parents and our goals as a couple, and really put that towards our date life, and then leave the business aspect for, you know, the quarterly stuff, the quarterly meetings and having those really hard conversations, like, how are we going to make money off of this? Or, how are we going to, you know, move forward into the next quarter of like business and how we, what events are we going to go to? Who are we connecting with? How are we even teaching ourselves new things so that we can add it to our repertoire of things that we provide for the podcast? So I think having a point of conversation with your significant other, and making sure you also separate some of those things, because it can get really murky if you bring in and she's trying to have a conversation about relationships, but you're trying to talk about the business. It's really separating those two entities, and I like to say Church and State sort of thing. But you know that sort of idea of like, we really try our best to have those date nights throughout the year and talk about our relationship, talk about who we are, talk about things that aren't, don't do anything with the podcast or business, and then leaving scheduled appointment dates of businessy talk and things like that. So it can be however you want to retrofit that, whether, if you want to talk more about the business, you know you want to have more dates, whatever it may be, but I think having those scheduled items is very vital to checking in, not only for yourself, but for your significant other, if you are working with them and making sure that you're what we say on the same page and moving forward together.Lesley Logan 36:46  Yeah, I think that's really, I love that you prioritize the relationship. Because I think if we prioritize the business goals, then it's really easy to forget why you're doing it and what it's for. And if you are someone who works for yourself, the business has to work for you, and otherwise you just created yourself a boss that's very demanding. So when we bought this house in Vegas, we sat down in April of 2020, we're like, well, what do we want for our lives? Forget the business. What do we want for our lives? Where do we want to live? Where do we want to work? What does our schedule look like? How much money do we make? How much does it cost to live the life we want to live? And then we went to the business and go, okay, the business has to support this life, as opposed to us supporting the business. And I think that that's really important. And so, yeah, you're right. However you want to retrofit that y'all is up to you, but make sure your personal goals are the priority. Because whether you work for yourself or you have a job, the job is there because it's helping. It gives you access to the things that you want. You know, there's this amazing book that I read so many years ago, and it's called, I want to say it's called sunny, it's like, not sunny side up, but it was like something like that. And it was not about whether you saw the glass half full or the glass half empty. You saw something in the glass. But one of the things that she said in there was about parking or driving away. The story was like, she's at brunch, and it was outdoors, and a car drove up, and the car was idling. It was pulled up to park, but it didn't turn off. It just idled, and over, she watched how, she stopped her conversation, and then how the whole area of the brunch stopped their conversation to look at like, what is this car doing? Because it makes everyone uneasy. What is this, what does this car do? Is it gonna go? Is it gonna stay? What's going on? And so the idea was, like, you need to park or drive away. And then she went into a story about a person who didn't love their job. It wasn't awesome when they actually looked for other jobs that they realized was, well, this job allows me to pay for the private school my kids are in. I get off work at a time that lets me spend time with them, lets me do this. And so she reframed the job that she had to this job may not be my dream job, but it provides me with the dream life I have. And we can get a little confused, and so I just want to go back to know what your goals are for your relationship or for your family or for yourself, if you're by yourself, and then the business goals have to reflect that.Jose Acevedo 39:05  I think I look back on the early part of our relationship, and I say to myself, I was embarrassed at the time because of the podcast just taking up so much time in my life. I look back at it now, I'm like, I was sort of embarrassed too, and I didn't address this personally because I didn't want it to take over her life as well, because I really wanted this thing to really be something, but I also didn't want it to take over her life and be, but she has shown me that it can provide us with an opportunity to, like, you, said, live the life that we want, and share so much of our own world of like she's made up these things of like the blog wouldn't be what it is today without her. The vlog is a combination of all of our videos, but it's like this way of sharing our family life with our fans, but also it's like this other thing, of like, it's home movies for our family who live far away from us that don't get a chance to see us a lot. So it's like this beautiful thing of sharing that with them, but also with our fans as well, and she's shown so much of how much she cares about this podcast and how much she cares about others that I'm still amazed by her. I'm still intimidated by her on so many of those factors. Because without her being in my corner, I don't think that I would be the person that I am today, but I also don't think the business would be where it's at today. And I thank her all the time, and I hope she knows this, but I think she is the cornerstone of what makes this podcast have a heart, and I think she's the best part of me. She's the best part of our family, and she's really, truly, this entity that I cannot describe any more than she is the heart of this business. Lesley Logan 41:07  Oh my gosh. Well, we have to let Britt, when she listens to this, have a moment to enjoy that lovely speech for her. So wanna take a brief break, and then we're gonna find out how people can find you and Finding Arizona, and all the things that you guys are doing together. Lesley Logan 41:19  Okay, Jose, you are like one of the most beautiful humans in the world. And I think everyone is hoping that their husband is telling someone that exact same speech that you just said about them, Finding Arizona, they can find it anywhere that they're listening to this podcast. But do they have to live in Arizona? Is this something they can enjoy if they're visiting Arizona? And also, what else do you and Britt have for our listeners?Jose Acevedo 41:41  Yeah. So this is available on all podcast platforms, of course, but we also have now video format to a lot of these episodes that we provide on YouTube. And on top of that, like I was discussing earlier in the podcast, we have a vlog that's a little bit of this family life. And what we do for the business, we go to events as well, meeting new people, networking, and we share that along with on the YouTube, we have a website that is available for a blog that gets a little bit more of what we've learned and found through the community and what we're passionate about, what we're intrigued by, that's a little bit more of the inside of our minds being put out into this, like, blog form, so that Britt puts that together. But it's, again, it's all of these things could be found at our website, findingarizonapodcast.com but also on our YouTube page, Finding Arizona podcast, you'll just search it, and you'll find us. You'll see us. We're big smiley people, and we always try our best to make sure that it's routinely updated and that you're constantly getting new items every week. And on top of that, I mean other events that we're going to on a very routine basis. You can catch us a lot of the community events throughout Phoenix. And we are also trying to do a little bit more of in-person 101 classes, teaching the kind of 101 of podcasting, Britt has done an event where she's speaking about it at a Phoenix Design Week. There are a couple of other events that I don't have it in front of me, but I wish I could give you some more information on, and I will actually send an email to you so you can provide that to the individuals. But there are a lot more events that we're going to be in-person for that you can catch us at, say hi and get a little bit more one-to-one action with us. And you will get to see Atlas, too. Atlas loves going on these little adventure excursions, and you'll see him in his little Finding Arizona shirt, and he's always down the clown, and he's a fun time.Lesley Logan 43:34  Oh my gosh, so fun. Yes, you guys should absolutely be teaching people about podcast and getting started, because you've been doing it for 10 years.Jose Acevedo 43:42  Yes and on top of all of those things that we do in person and all that, we actually just started this. And this is something of the service arm of what we provide in video production, audio production. We're calling it The Found House. And you can find it under our web page, The Found House over at findingarizonapodcast.com where you can actually, if you want to work with us, one-to-one and start your own podcast, we provide that option as well.Lesley Logan 44:08  Awesome. That is what we need. Thank you for doing that. Jose Acevedo 44:11  Yes, absolutely. Lesley Logan 44:12  Okay. You guys, all those links are, of course, in the show notes. And if you are wondering about how Finding Arizona podcast is, I was on it with Brad. Brad made an appearance. Holy moly, it's rare. So go listen. You get to hear the inside of his brain on all the things. Jose Acevedo 44:28  I love Brad, by the way. Lesley Logan 44:29  We love Brad. You know what? Here's the thing, everyone loves Brad. And whenever I go anywhere without Brad, they're just like, where's Brad? Where's Brad? So that's why he's not actually allowed to not be there. Because I'm like, am I chopped liver? So. Jose Acevedo 44:41  He's right over there. Go look. And that's sometimes how I feel about Britt and this is the crux of having parenthood be a part of what we do is should some of these events are late at night, and Atlas can't go to those. So one of us has to stay behind to do bedtime story time, and one of us has to go. And then it's if one of us goes, like, where's the other person? Lesley Logan 45:02  Yeah, where are they? What's going on? Well, I love that. It's like, okay, hi, but I'm right here. So you know, you have been such a gem already, but we love to end the episode with, Be It Action Items. Bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us? Jose Acevedo 45:17  I think it goes back to what we were talking about those baby goal routines set for yourselves. I think you should always try your best to set a big goal, but also make sure that you're taking those routine steps, or those small steps forward to allow yourself and your what your goal is to move to approach that. Take those tiny steps that you know are digestible, edible that you can do and make sure that you're reaching closer and closer, because if you look back on those little steps, you will actually see that you were providing yourself the opportunity to move forward. And one of the big things that I keep going back to, or at least what in our conversations, like life responds to effort. That's something that I heard, is life responds to effort. And you're not making an effort, you're not moving anywhere, you're stagnant. You have to make an effort. And whatever, it's those little things that matter and those little things that count to your goals. Lesley Logan 45:18  Oh, my God. Mic drop on that. That is brilliant. That is, rewind everyone, listen to that last, that was freaking amazing. Jose, Finding Arizona. Thank you for being you. Thank you for sharing your story. Give Britt some love from us. We're hopefully gonna see you guys, when we're in person in Arizona soon. Y'all, how are you gonna use these tips in your life? Tag Finding Arizona. Tag the Be It Pod. Share this with a friend. Share this with an Arizonian but also share this with someone who needs to hear that 10 years ago, it was baby steps and just showing up and being consistent, like we all need these inspirations in our lives and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 46:52  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Tovey is an enrolled member of the CTUIR, and he had been serving as the interim executive director since last May.         An urban planner by training, Tovey was appointed by Gov. Kotek as co-chair of the Housing Production Advisory Council in March 2023. The council finished its work with a report released last year containing recommendations on how to meet the state’s target of building 36,000 new homes a year over the next decade.   Tovey joins us to talk about his work on the council and his priorities for the CTUIR, including the development of the Nixyáawii neighborhood within the Umatilla Indian Reservation to ease the housing shortage for tribal members. He also shares how the Trump administration’s policies and directives could affect tribal relations with the federal government.

How much do the proposed USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans reflect what industries want to promote as opposed to what Native Americans consider nutritious? When the new version of the guidelines is released, it has implications for the food that makes its way into school lunches, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, and SNAP. Former President Donald Trump won't back away from promoting a false rumor about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating cats and dogs. The Haitian residents now fear for their safety and say Trump is dehumanizing them for political gain. The same tactic has been used against Native Americans as well, and food is one means to do it.

Hundreds of low-income Native families who depend on the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations are enduring delays and other system management problems. The heads of the agency that oversees the program are having to answer tough questions from lawmakers. In an unrelated dispute, those same lawmakers are squabbling over costs of a tribally run food distribution pilot program. It's one of the reasons they can't come to agreement on the current Farm Bill that has major implications for Indian Country.

Join us this week on Hidden Heritage as we embark on RezRide 2010, a motorcycle ride exploring the Lower Brule Sioux Reservation and surrounding area. This year's journey starts from the small LaRoche house near the Missouri River in an area known as Little Bend, where our host, Paul LaRoche, his nephew Chris Estes and cameraman Shane Summers set off to retrace the steps of their ancestors. The first leg takes us to the Narrows, a stunning stretch along the Missouri River, recently voted one of the ten most beautiful spots in South Dakota. We then visit the Holy Name Chapel, a place rich with family and tribal history, where LaRoche shares his personal connection to this sacred ground. Next, we arrive at the Buffalo Interpretive Center, located on the Native American Scenic Byway. Here, we delve into the cultural significance of the buffalo to the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and other Native American nations, witnessing hands-on exhibits and learning about the vital role bison played in their survival. Our journey continues through the state capital of Pierre, highlighting the importance of reconciliation and unity. The final leg takes us through Crow Creek and then on to the Akta Lakota Museum in Chamberlain, South Dakota. This museum offers a unique glimpse into the rich heritage and contemporary life of the Lakota people, featuring a renowned collection of art and cultural displays. RezRide 2010 may have concluded, but the profound spiritual experience and the deep connection to the past leave an indelible mark. Join us as we honor and celebrate the enduring legacy of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Sooner or later you knew we would get back to 1971. It is high time we went back before it's too late! Wild horses couldn't keep us away because in reality, we never can say goodbye for good. Maybe it wasn't as obvious as a request in the want ads, but there were certainly signs that our audience wanted it. So join us for some escape-ism into the Billboard top 40 for the week ending July 10th, 1971. We promise to treat her like a lady, even if she is not so sweet and innocent.   Link to a listing of the songs in this week's episode: https://top40weekly.com/1971-all-charts/#US_Top_40_Singles_Week_Ending_10th_July_1971 Data Sources: Billboard Magazine, where the charts came from and on what the countdown was based.

Our borders are broken. The crisis has gotten far worse over the past three years and the impact - sometimes deadly - is felt throughout the nation. Has it hit your community or maybe your own home?And if things don't change soon, the lives of many more Americans will be in danger. That's the message Sara received from National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto while she was reporting on the border invasion in Arizona.Today, Sara brings you her conversation with Del Cueto as they drove near the border. Just in their time together, Sara and Del Cueto evaded police from the nearby Indian reservation, witnessed arrests, saw illegals leaving bags of narcotics as they fled from authorities in the desert, and much more.It's out of control and there's only one way to stop it - at the ballot box this year.Thanks for being a part of the Sara Carter Show.Time Stamps:0:05 Inside a BRUTAL Border Trip6:29 At the Border in Arizona10:05 This is a gottaway hub13:07 My ride along with Art Del Cueto15:09 The cartels love this17:35 This is a massive issue20:47 It is an if not when23:29 Cartel drones are a major issuePlease visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.comUse code CARTER at checkout for an additional 15% off your order.

The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation held a groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 9 for the new Owyhee Combined School.

In Part Two, O And Zee continued discussing the impact of human trafficking on Indian Reservations, and how this will affect elections in Michigan where voter registration will be fed to the Secretary of State. Citing the clear risk of low data integrity, Zee expresses his concern that elections could be affected by what is brought into systems with little or no oversight. In Part Three O and Zee introduce Elon Musk's Twitter AI called Grok. Sadly a Twitter user is asking the AI advice on how to increase his exposure and gain followers by improving his behavior on his Twitter timeline. Grok supplies many answers that the user then enacts, and then he returns for further advice on language, and whether he should write tweets about Elon himself. The answer Grok supplies will startle you as we see a text case example of behavior modification driven by Artificial Intelligence.The original video broadcast for this episode can be found here: https://rumble.com/v48kht9-oz-fest-morning-mission-dominion-and-watching-eye-for-the-ai-guy.htmlWe have been manipulated.

In Part One, O and Zee examined the current trend of political manipulation on social media regarding elections. Inconsistent testimony from cyber security expert Alex Halderman dismissed clear violations of computer network security in the 2020 presidential election in Michigan. While concerned in 2017 and 2024, magically in 2020 Halderman testified to the secure nature of Michigan election procedures. O raised the concern of a law in Michigan that automatically registers released prisoners and Indian Reservation residents with little oversight and no proof of signatures, leaving doors open for potential voter and demographic manipulation. Finally a report regarding human trafficking from Arizona was reviewed, demonstrating how ascertaining population and residency was difficult to track.In Part Two, O And Zee continue discussing the impact of human trafficking on Indian Reservations, and how this will affect elections in Michigan where voter registration will be fed to the Secretary of State. Will Illegal aliens released from Michigan prisons be automatically registered to vote? What about illegal aliens who could be counted among the Indian population on reservations. The demographics of the reservations in Michigan point to a large number of people who could affect the outcome of an election. Will systems that accept data from areas not under US jurisdiction be validated?The original video broadcast for this episode can be found here: https://rumble.com/v48kht9-oz-fest-morning-mission-dominion-and-watching-eye-for-the-ai-guy.htmlWe have been manipulated.

Welcome to G220 Radio! In this episode, we talk with Nace Howell a pastor on an Indian Reservation in the Rocky Mountains where many different faiths are found: Baha'i, Buddhism, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Age, Atheism, Traditional Religions, and Mormonism to name a few. Nace is also the author of Mormonism: Refuting a Fundamental Mormon Doctrine and Using Apologetics to Reach the Latter-Day Saints. So join us as we talk about evangelizing Mormons.

At its core Severed Conscience is about the manipulation of the human mind by technology and coercion. Demographics are studied to create silos and digital reservations, and we are presented with a pale imitation of the truth couched in expert lingo-ease. Since we are beckoned away from the real world, there is an attempt to change fundamental liberties while we are entertained. We are also habituated to seeking approval online and many now turn to AI to alter their behavior in order to gain popularity and promote themselves. O and Zee debate whether this indicative of Severed Conscience or a limit of access to freedom of expression as discussed in their earlier documentary Rationed State.In this first part, O and Zee examine the current trend of political manipulation on social media regarding elections. Alex Halderman has sounded the alarm regarding Dominion voting machines and recently was touted as an expert when he proved the vulnerability of Dominion voting machines in court. Yet he used his expertise to dismiss clear violations of computer network security in the 2020 presidential election in Michigan. Magically in 2020 there was no need for concern, yet in 2017 and 2024 there is. Another concern that O raises is a new law in Michigan that will automatically register released prisoners and Indian Reservation residents with little oversight and no proof of signatures, leaving doors open for potential voter and demographic manipulation. This destroys liberty, and Severed Conscience is a state of mind where you cease to care.The original video broadcast for this episode can be found here: https://rumble.com/v48kht9-oz-fest-morning-mission-dominion-and-watching-eye-for-the-ai-guy.htmlWe have been manipulated.

Shownotes and Transcript Ben Bergquam is familiar to the WarRoom posse as he has been RAV's border expert for years now.  His Law & Border show regularly exposes the continual failure of Capitol Hill to deal with this avalanche of illegal aliens.  We welcome him to Hearts of Oak to discuss his experiences.  Where is this never ending stream of illegal immigration coming from?  Why do Congress refuse to even acknowledge the problem, never mind stop the flow?  And when will Americans learn that they cannot get away from the problem by fleeing California and New York?  Once these people are within the borders of America, they are free to go anywhere and do what they like.  It's time for Americans to become so 'pissed off' at this injustice that they demand action.  Ben Bergquam is a well-known Texas-born conservative Christian correspondent. He is the host of “Law & Border “ on RAV-TV News. His experience includes working in the state government and the private sector and engaging in political activism in California and America. He travels the country and Mexico, exposing the massive corruption of the left and the never ending crisis at the border. Ben is out there every single day fighting for values and country. Ben also founded Frontline America, a national organization to restore USA identity: "One Nation Under God!" - exposing the left and mobilizing the Christian conservative remnant. Connect with Ben...

Thanks so much for giving us your time today. (Ben Bergquam) It's great to be with you, sir.  Great to have you, and obviously seeing you many times on War Room. Obviously, you're doing a lot with Real America Voice. Many of your pieces on the border, people can find you @BenBergquam, is your Twitter handle. You're the host of Law & Border on Real America Voice News, founder of Frontline America, Christian conservative, husband and father, all ticks the right boxes. So great to have you. Maybe, Ben, you can touch on your, how did you fall in, I guess, to being a journalist? And I think most of what I saw, you put out a lot of stuff, but a lot is a focus on the border, on that immigration issue. How did you end up kind of being a journalist and covering that specific area? You know, it's an interesting backstory. I didn't plan on it. In college, I was an undergrad kinesiology exercise science major, so I was a fitness major, ended up getting my MBA. Before that, I was in architecture and art, and so a whole bunch of kind of background. I played football and, you know, I was just a sports guy. But in college, I saw the direction. I went to high school and college in California. Parents were missionaries in Africa when when I was a kid, we ended up in California and I saw the direction the state was going. I saw how evil things were getting and I saw nobody standing up to fight back for the most part, you know, even the Republicans in California, they just seemed comfortable losing. And so I, it was about the same time that Facebook Live had come out. And in college, I'd started a conservative values organization. I kind of, I got burned out in politics and then I got into drugs and alcohol for a while, I was actually a crack addict for a while. And God turned my life back around in 2015 and right into the 2016 campaign. And I was full on. And so I just took my phone out and started filming and going up and confronting the left in Sacramento. And mostly at the beginning, it's really always been God, family, country are the three pillars of what I focus on. And wherever they fall into that, those one of those categories. In California, obviously it's godlessness, it's evil, It's the far left is taken over to the point now where we can't even define what a woman is. I mean who would have thought 10 years ago even that that would be a subject we'd be having. And but this was this was one of the issues in California in college though what what I noticed was I'm struggling to even get through college. I'm paying my own way. My parents weren't wealthy and so they they couldn't pay me or pay my way through college and we made just enough money to where I didn't qualify for any of the the freebies that the government gives out in California but all of a sudden I noticed several of my classes had illegal aliens in them that were getting full scholarships, and I thought what the hell is going on here and then what really turned me on to the border and made me passionate about it was I met an angel mom named Agnes Gibney whose son she was a legal immigrant. My wife's a legal immigrant. My wife's family escaped communism from Laos to come here. Agnes Gibney, she escaped communism her family fled after World War two and they ended up first in Brazil and then in in California, her son was murdered by an illegal alien. And I started getting story after story after story of these families whose family members had been murdered by illegal aliens. And this was about the same time that this whole argument conversation about sanctuary cities and sanctuary states was coming up. And so I just couldn't believe it. I thought, how the hell could we be in a state that would protect illegal aliens, people that have no right to be here in the first place, above American citizens, and in some cases, above American citizens who had come here legally to escape communism, socialism, the despots of the world. And so that, it just pissed me off, honestly, I just thought, there's no way, this just can't be happening. So I got heavily involved with the Fight Sanctuary State movement, and then that kind of led me down the path of illegal immigration, was on, had a show on the Salem Radio Network for a year, and it was everything but a heavy focus on immigration. And then about that same time, Real America's Voice News had started. They saw the work I was doing. They came and said, we need a border guy. Are you interested? And that's been about four, four and a half years, five years now, been on with Real America's Voice. So it's really been a progression. God's plan is not necessarily our timing, but it's been a pretty amazing ride as well. So now I do the show Law & Border, travel all over North America, down into South America, we're even over in Europe this summer, showing the connections between the United Nations, the globalists, the Great Reset, everything that's happening in Europe, and the connections between the invasion we have on our southern border in America. So it's all of that. Even the border is not just the border. The border is the fight of freedom, liberty versus communism, socialism, it's the fight against the new world order, the globalist leftist, the you know the great reset, Klaus Schwab, WEF, all of this. And it you know it all ties together, it's all in some ways it's all one. I would love to pick up on missionary family in Africa, God turn your life around, trust me I'll come back to you on a full story on that because to me that's extremely exciting. But onto the border which will stay on all today but that there will be a part two definitely if Ben has the time. I think it's the mass of people I mean here's just a a video just put up just for 15 seconds and it shows the amount of people you'd posted from someone else this was probably maybe two weeks ago. Let me just put just 10 seconds of this up for people to see. Yeah, this is actually a video shot by Alden Cabello. He actually lives in Acuna, Mexico. This is in Eagle Pass, Texas, coming across from Piedras Negas. And these are the lines that you see now. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people, thousands per day, just marching on into America. Where do you go because it's, people find it hard to believe the amount of individuals and we in the UK have a much smaller level of immigration with 50,000 coming across illegally on boats and the English Channel from France to UK is our southern border in effect. And that's what we see, that pays a significance on what you have. And how do you actually portray to the public the amount, because it's the amount that makes people think, no, this can't be real, it's just, this is a story you're trying to spin, go away. The scale of it, touch on that. Well, all you have to do is look at the federal government's numbers, and these are conservative numbers, so I'll break them into two. It's the known apprehensions, and we're up around 8 million since Joe Biden took office, and then the unknowns, and they admit to around 1.8 million of what they call the got-aways. Just taking the 8 million, if you take that, if you just took away the go-taways and say, okay, we're going to take the federal government at its own numbers, and we're going to say that 8 million people have come into our country, that is the population of more than 35 states in the United States. That's, you know, so you take an entire state, I'm in the state of Arkansas right now. Our population is under 4 million people, right around 4 million people. That's double our state's population. So, you know, if you compare that in quantity, and again, these are conservative numbers. Now you add in the got-aways, and this is the number that actually really pisses me off. And I'm gonna show you, I actually have a couple little illustrations here. That'll help tell the story. Every time I go down to the border, I look for, I call them souvenirs, but they're really more of evidence. I get IDs from all over the world. I get passports from all over the world. I get little booklets. This is a little Chinese Proverbs booklet that was left there. And you would ask, well, why would anybody dump these IDs? Why would you ever, why? Like, if I lost my passport, I would freak out. I travel all over the world. You know, that's one of your big concerns when you're traveling. Don't lose your passport. They're dumping. They're not losing their passports, they're dumping their passports. And we've asked them, I've actually interviewed people, I was on the Mexico side, and I saw this family from Africa. And they were taking all of their documents, I've actually filmed them doing this. And they were burning them on the shore, they were taking out their IDs, they were taking and trying to burn them before they went across. And we've asked multiple people, why would you do that? And they said, they've actually been coached on this, that they have an easier time coming into America if the government doesn't know who they are. So they can make up any back story they want. They can say they are whoever they want. As long as they don't show up on Interpol or one of our terror watch lists, or they haven't been previously deported or have a criminal record with a country that we share information with, we have zero way of vetting them or verifying. So they can make up any story. And the sad reality is, this is one of the parts that the left doesn't want to talk about. There's many parts that the left doesn't want to talk about. The children are actually used simply as pawns. So if you come across as a single adult male. It used to be you had a harder time getting in. Now, we're just letting everybody in. But it used to be you had a harder time getting in. So what they do is in Mexico and in Central America, they have black markets for children. Families will sell their children. People will steal children. And the men will come across, sometimes the women as well. And they'll bring a child with them. They'll say, this is my daughter. We have no way of verifying that. We let you in as a family. And then they will send those children back. Border Patrol calls it recycling. So they actually recycle these kids. And they'll filter them through. And if you came through with a passport and that child had a birth certificate and they were from two different countries and there was no connection, well, it would be a lot harder to spin that story. But if you come across with nothing and you say, this is my child, this is my son, this is my daughter, this is my wife, we have no way of verifying that. So that's part of it. But the big concern that I have, it's both. I mean, the known 8 million people, we can't afford that. We're in a country that's $33 trillion in debt. We are going more in debt every single day. We're paying off other countries. We're paying for their wars. We're paying for them to secure their borders, but we're going bankrupt. And while we're doing that, we're inviting in millions of more people who are all going to end up on our government dole at some point, whether that's through welfare, the asylum process, they're all paid a monthly stipend to be here if they end up being granted asylum, through our education system, through our healthcare networks. So we are literally slitting our own country's throat. with what's going on, just on the ones we're inviting in, then you take the millions more that are coming through, and again, I'll give you a little illustration of that. My last trip down to Luke, there's some areas right now that are being really heavily hit, and most of it, Texas is really bad, Arizona is really bad, California is as well, but it's not talked about as much. But I was down in Arizona, I was filming an area, the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation, I was down there showing these massive groups, 1,500 people coming across at a time. And just to put that in perspective, imagine you're out in the middle of nowhere, you're three hours from civilization, you're out in the desert, we call it no man's land, and all of a sudden, 1,500 people show up. I mean, it's like they're showing up for a football game. You know, they're gonna just march on in. They've got some of the bags of luggage. You know, they've travelled around the world to get here. And now they're marching through the desert, walking up to you saying, let us in, or just demanding that they be let in. That's happening day after day after day. And that's one point, one point on a 2,000 mile long border. And it's happening at hundreds of points along our southern border. Well, while that's happening, while you have these people that are turning themselves in that want to get caught, that are gaming the system, because the United Nations and Catholic charities and Lutheran social services and Jewish family services, all of these communist NGOs that are getting paid off to do this are inviting them in. A mile up the road, I went to a little place called Sasabe, Arizona. They're turning themselves in there as well. I go a mile past where they're turning themselves in, and I catch a group of cartel members that are running drugs across our border. Literally, I drive up. I'm the only one there. There's no border patrol because border patrol is all being used on processing these fake asylum seekers. And I look across the wall. I'm 20 feet away from the wall. And I see this backpack, so I back up to it, jump out of the car. I'm armed because we're dealing with cartels. They walk around with AK-47s on the Mexico side and on the US side. And so I look down, all of a sudden I'm like, oh man, this is bad. I've got seven guys all in full camouflage about to cross over. They'd actually already been in the US side. They ran back across when I backed up to them. And I start filming. And thank God I was filming because I actually heard in the camera, the coyote, the cartel coyote say, let's go, let's go, let's go back. He's filming in Spanish, he says this. Well, while they ran away, one of the guys actually dropped their hat. So this is an official cartel camouflage hat that was dropped on our Southern border simply because I was there. But as soon as I left, guaranteed that group with their drugs and their full backpacks came across and there was no border patrol for hundreds of miles to stop them. And that's the state of our border right now. We are spending all of our border patrol resources, the vast majority of it on processing fake asylum seekers and the areas in between are completely wide open for drug smugglers, for sex traffickers, and for potential terrorists. So we are, we are destroying our country as we speak by the very people that have sworn an oath to protect our country. I mean it, so you know, where people say well it couldn't be that bad, imagine the worst you can think it could be and it's worse. Can I ask you because in the UK we talk about immigration affecting services, so schools and hospitals and transport. But in the US, when you look at the drugs problem coming across the border, the fentanyl problem you have in the US, and it seems to be that, as much as I would love to say, well this is the Democrats' fault, actually it seems to be that no one wants to deal with this. Surely a drugs problem would make people wake up, especially with many of the politicians having families, having children. How does that not hit home and that to be a reason to shut the border? Yeah, it's a great question. We had over 100,000 young people die of fentanyl overdoses last year. It's the number one killer for people 18 to 45 in America. It is a weapon of mass destruction. The precursors to fentanyl were originally created in China. Most of them still come from China. They're shipped to the cartels in Mexico. And then the Mexican terrorist drug cartels smuggled them across our southern border to kill American citizens. There's no question about it. If we considered this, if this was the Taliban, that had killed 100,000 Americans, we went to war for 20 years over a fraction of that. 3000 people dying on 9-11, we spent 20 years in the Middle East, supposedly fighting terrorists. We have 100,000 plus people die every single year and both sides seem to not care at all. I mean, we're having this idiotic discussion in Washington DC right now about the federal government shutting down while our country is bleeding out. We don't even, as you mentioned, the Democrats to me, I mean, in some ways they're terrible, they're evil, they're inviting this, but some ways they're not as bad. At least they're stabbing me in the front. It's the people that claim to be on my side, the people that claim to care about these issues that end up stabbing you in the back. You look at guys like Kevin McCarthy who was in there as speaker, did absolutely nothing to stop this. We look at most politicians in America will talk about issues, but they do absolutely nothing. And I think the message should be very simple. Shut the government down until we can shut this invasion on our southern border down. And if you don't have the balls to do that, then get out of Congress. We need that. And again, as you mentioned, it's been on both sides. Historically, if we back up just a little bit. Up until President Trump, you had Democrats and Republicans. They both loved illegal immigration. Republicans loved it for the cheap labour. The chambers of commerce love cheap labour. They love people working under the table because it makes more money for them. You also had the Democrats that love it because they love holding people under their thumb. They love having easy votes. And ultimately, it's a win for slavery. I mean, you talk about, you know, we ended slavery in the United States. We ended in UK over a hundred years ago, but there are more slaves today in America than there ever have been because of what we have going on our southern border. So all of that. Then President Trump came in and said, wait a second, this isn't good. This isn't good for America. This isn't good for the people that this is happening to. This isn't good for the countries that they're leaving. And ultimately, if this continues, the world will be affected by this. This will be bad for everyone because if America falls, the world falls. And so President Trump was the first one that came in and said, we're actually going to do something to stop this. And he did. We saw the lowest numbers. When President Trump took office, they were some of the highest numbers we'd seen. When President Trump left office when the election was stolen, I don't know if I can say that on your show, but I absolutely believe it. Oh, you can. We're not on YouTube. Say it's stolen. 100%.  It was. It was 100% stolen. The Democrats have perfected election fraud. When that happened, we had some of the lowest numbers we'd seen on the southern border. And it was simply because President Trump prioritized it and said, you will not break into our country, you will not get freebies. And the one big policy that he put into place was the remain in Mexico policy that said, if you're coming here requesting asylum, you're gonna wait on the Mexico side of the border until your case is adjudicated. And then we will let you in if you qualify. Well, the 95% of the people that are coming that are claiming asylum now, don't qualify for asylum. They got the message, we're not gonna get in. So they stayed home. Then you have Joe Biden come in and say, everybody's welcome, come on in, and now the floodgates are open. And you're right. So Democrats have invited this, but the Republicans have done almost nothing to stop it. And that's, you know, the Democrats need to be held. They need to be arrested and charged with treason. Joe Biden, Secretary Marcos, everybody who's inviting this, the NGOs like Catholic Charities need to be defunded immediately. The House has the control over the purse strings. They could do that today. And the United Nations needs to be defunded. And ultimately, when we take back control in 2024, which I pray and I believe we will, we need investigations into every single politician that has supported open borders to find out how many of them are bought off by the cartels. That's what we need in America, but right now we have none of that. Can I ask about the people coming over? I mean you put up a tweet, immigrants from 23 Islamic countries in Europe. It's actually the clash between people coming from Islamic countries and that cultural clash between the traditional Christian freedoms that we've had in Europe and then you come with a push on Islam and that's the almighty clash that we're having here. You haven't got it to quite that level but where is the push coming from? Obviously everyone, you can't blame people in theory if it's economic migrants wanting to be in a richer country. Everyone wants to be richer, everyone wants to have a better life, that's fair enough. But you don't necessarily have that right to just cross over and pick a nation. And where, where is the people groups coming from? And how is that the clash between US culture? Well, that's the rub in America. It's not one it's we're getting, it's the death by a million cuts. So you have the people coming across that simply want a job and are taking it. You know, it's ironic too. We had four years with president Trump, some of the best job numbers for almost every single demographic, lowest unemployment for black, lowest unemployment for Hispanic, lowest unemployment for women until the China virus, until China unleashed COVID on the world. And then the election theft. Now you have some of the worst job numbers for the black community. Even the Hispanic community in America, the legal Hispanic community in America is being crushed by this. So you have the part of it that are just the economic migrants that are coming over for jobs. And I wish they were all just, I mean, honestly, I wish they were coming for jobs. But now you have this other side of it where you have illegal aliens that have been taught, you have generations now that have been taught that you can game the welfare system. You don't even have to work. And so now you have millions that are coming across simply to game the welfare system and they get it and they take it out of our kids' pockets as we continue to go further and further into debt. They take it from our kids' education. They take it from our healthcare system. Coming from California, used to live there, escaped a couple of years ago. And we had in our local area in the Central Valley, we've had three hospitals shut down in the last five years because of illegal aliens. They come in, they use the services, they don't pay the bills, and then the hospitals end up going bankrupt. And that's an epidemic happening across America. But then you have, as you guys see, and in some ways, it's better, it's worse for Europe, what's going on. By the way, if you haven't read a book, it's called The Sword in the Scimitar by Raymond Ibrahim. It's the thousand years of the war on Islam and Christendom. It is a extremely good book to read, to learn the history behind this from Mohammed up to until the Spain kicked the Moors out for good. You know, there was history to that about the same time as Christopher Columbus. This isn't new for Europe. You know, there's been a war. Muslims have been attacking Europe, trying to take over Europe for hundreds of years ever since Muhammad really, and after his death. Well, Spain actually got to the point right around 1400, end of 1400, where they said no more. They tried, they tried, they tried, and they said no more. And they ended up kicking the Moors all out of Spain, back to Northern Africa. Well, now you have these woke leftists saying, come on in guys, come on in. We've got, no, it's all compassion. We are, you know, and you have these, you have these brain dead, supposedly religious organizations that are saying, well, we want to be compassionate. We don't want to be mean people. So these, you know, we're going to look at people through the best lens possible. We're going to say, they just want a better life. We're going to invite them in. And not knowing that you're committing national suicide. And that's happening all across Europe. As I mentioned, I was in Sweden, I was in Europe this past summer. I started in Sweden, then went down through Denmark, into France. Actually, you mentioned the English Channel. I wish the Rio Grande River was as wide as the English Channel. We'd have a lot more control of it. But in Calais, Oscar Blue, one of my co-workers or compadres on Real America's Voice News, they were down there, and they were showing these houses, derelict houses with these Africans. It's interesting because you have the Christian Africans escaping the Muslims, leaving Africa, and then you have right behind them, the jihadists that are blending in and coming right up with them. And so that's what's happening. So you have Europe that has that, they have that, but in some ways it's better because you can say, okay, this is bad, we can isolate the enemy and we can say, nope, we're not gonna allow this anymore. If you can take back control from the woke, brain dead leftists. In America, now we have those other issues. We have the welfare state being overrun. We have the job takers coming in and then you have the jihadist as well being invited up by Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. And AOC who same way they just want the destruction of our country. So you have we have it on from all fronts. Takes a little bit longer to get here, a little bit harder for somebody to leave the Middle East to come to the United States, a little bit easier to go up into Europe. But in the end, it's the same enemy. So all of that's happening. But the tip of the spear on all of that, whether it's the jihadists coming up to Europe or the jihadists coming up through America, or the job killers or job takers or welfare takers coming up through both sides, it's the United Nations, it's the leftist, it's the World Economic Forum, it's this Klaus Schwab global reset, redistribution of wealth that is driving all of this and all of these fake godless communist non-governmental organizations, charities, that are at the front edge of this that are getting paid off by every government in the world to help enable the invasion of the West. That's what's happening. Can I just pick up on California just for our last five minutes or so because I know you're non-stop media so I do appreciate your time, Ben. But you touched on California. Obviously we've seen the crazy debate between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom, legitimising Gavin Newsom and obviously many are pushing for him to run because Biden doesn't know what time the day it is, never mind that he's president. But let me just play this clip of you showing the tent cities, which I saw actually in LA April time last year, for the first time ever, was on the West Coast and the last time I ever want to be there. Let me just play this and just talk us through kind of what we're seeing and what you've seen in California, which obviously is the state you know well. Yeah, this is a tent city on the American River in Sacramento, California, and the capital of Sacramento. This was actually the day before Gavin Newsom did that pathetic debate with Ron DeSantis. He leaves California. This was actually two weeks after we had Xi Jinping come to town to San Francisco, and they cleaned up the streets of San Francisco. And right now, they've spent billions of dollars in California. They just last year spent hundreds of millions of dollars to supposedly clean up the streets. And if you go to downtown Sacramento, the streets are clean. But if you go to any of the exterior areas, you go to any of the the peripheral neighbourhoods, the suburbs of Sacramento. This is what it looks like. It is absolute filth. It's hell on earth. It's a cesspool, it's drugs, it's crime. And really it's just, it's human misery. I actually interviewed several of the people down there and they don't wanna be there. You know, some of them do. Some of them are addicts that just don't wanna be held accountable. Some of them are criminals. But it's, you know, a lot of these people simply can't afford to live in California anymore because of the economic policies by the left. We have some of the highest cost of living in the country. I say that as a guy who lives in Arkansas now who has gas for under $2 and 50 cents a gallon. In California, when I left there, it was $6 a gallon. In San Francisco, the median single bedroom apartment is $3,500 a month. So you look at, and Sacramento is not much below that. You look at LA is the same. So you have this disparity between the extremely rich who look up, you know, like Gavin Newsom and lives in his multi-million dollar mansion and says, well, it's not so bad. While he's destroying the energy sector, he's destroying every industry that he doesn't like, he's destroying agriculture in the Central Valley, which is, you know, California produces the majority of some staple food products that the world eats, and in particular, the United States eats. They're destroying that at the altar of climate change and radical environmentalism, and they're destroying lives along the way. So the bottom line is very simple. If you like misery, if you like poverty, if you like homelessness, drug addiction, if you like BLM thugs being able of rob at will and not being penalized by leftist DAs, Soros backed DAs, then keep voting for Democrats. But if you're sick of living that way, then you can't vote for these guys. They're not in it for your best interest. They may say all the right things, but they lie. Gavin Newsom is one of the worst liars I know. He's one of the slickest guys I know, but he's an absolute disgusting liar. And it's time that we fire every single person like that. And we start saying, what's in the best interest for Americans. What's in the best interest for my citizens, if you're in the UK, It should be what's in the best interest for the citizens of the UK and every country should take that model and then take it all the way down to your local level to your local community and say if we come from that perspective. Like I'm not a mean-hearted person. I'm a Christian. I give to my church. I give to the needy, in fact I gave, I interviewed one lady there and I gave to her, and I usually don't, I usually don't give to homeless people because usually you're just feeding an addiction. But I did, and I judge it at one person at a time. But the last thing we need to do is keep pumping money into the federal government that then pumps it out to their friendlies that basically are funded by the continuation of homelessness, or they are funded by the continuation of the invasion on our southern border. We have entire industries now based around the destruction of America that we are paying for, the American citizens are paying for. And if you're sick of it, like I'm sick of it, We have to get these people out of office ultimately. I think we have to prosecute the ones that are traitors to our country and take back this country and stop saying we're gonna compromise, stop apologizing for being right and say, you know, if these ideas are better, we're gonna win in the arena of ideas. We're not going to compromise. We're going to defeat the enemy and again come from the perspective. That's why I support President Trump so much. He came from the perspective of winning not compromising, now I didn't agree with him on everything. I think you know, you look now back at the vaccines and all of that I think we need to you know, there's some some things he needs to change. I think one thing he needs to change is who he puts around himself. But ultimately, President Trump was the best thing for America and really for the world. And I pray that he wins in 2024 and really that ultimately will decide the trajectory of not just America, but the rest of the world. If they steal it again in 2024. I have a hard time seeing how we save not just America, but the rest of the planet as well. Ben, thanks for coming.

In commemoration of Native American Heritage Month, Indian Country Executive Michael Garrow joins the OneHaas podcast to talk about his cultural heritage, his career, and his time at the Haas School of Business. Michael is a member of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe in upstate New York and grew up on the reservation. After spending some time in an aviation career, he applied to Haas to get his MBA so he could give back to his community. Michael and host Sean Li discuss what it was like growing up on a reservation, the current challenges facing Native American communities, and how Michael has been able to use his MBA to help his tribe economically. *OneHaas Alumni Podcast is a production of Haas School of Business and is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why he decided to change careers and get his MBA“I just started wanting to learn more about the finance and operations side and help the tribes. That really was my passion was to be able to give back to the community. When I applied to Berkeley, that's what I said I was going to do. And that's what I had always done with the reservation is helping youth and trying to develop the economy of the tribe because there's nothing really here. It's economically depressed.”How gaming changed the economic landscape for tribes“It gave our parents jobs, or in my case, us jobs, so our children had somebody to guide. Meaning like, they could see like a career path… You can get a job in a casino, and you can go get your education. But what's interesting with the Mohawks is a lot of people went to Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, back in the 1800s. So we are one of the most educated tribes, like reservations, where people have education. It's a big part of our culture is getting your education. So growing up was tough because there was not much opportunity.”How his generation keeps the next generation involved and connected to their culture“I think a  lot of that responsibility lies in the home with the parents and making sure they get out. For the Mohawks, a big part of our culture is the sports, you know, unplugging them and they're involved in sports and they have a positive outlet rather than drugs, alcohol. So I think doing things with your children as they're growing up. So when they're teenagers, you have a relationship with them, so they'll listen to you better.” His advice to young Native Americans about the value of college “I've talked to a lot of tribal youth and said, ‘Oh, I don't want to get in debt.' And I would, almost like a spreadsheet, explain to them how it makes sense to get in debt for a university. How you would be better off. I always say, ‘Well, you can get your sneaker at Walmart or you can get a Nike sneaker. Which one has more perceived value? Well, the Nike does.' And then go, ‘Well, that's about education. You go to a top university, the top employers hire there. And so that's why you need to work hard to get into these universities.'”Show Links:LinkedIn ProfileSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations

Christopher joins us to share his story as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) and to give some fascinating insight into his mission. Christopher talks about his formative years in the church and how he came across anti-Mormon material on YouTube very early in his life. He quickly learned some things that made him truly question his beliefs. But with a firm desire to serve a mission, he continued going to church and was called to serve in Farmington, New Mexico, much of which was on an Indian Reservation. He talks about his experience with the Navajo people -- their goodness, their light, and their belief in spirituality. Christopher's experience is one-of-a-kind and we're so grateful to have learned from him!!

In this haunting new book, LAWYER, JAILER, ALLY, FOE, Eric L. Muller brings into vivid color a world that is largely forgotten paper records. It's no wonder that his book caught the attention of novelist John Grisham whose praise appears on the cover: “A fascinating and detailed account of one of America's darkest chapters.” Eric's accomplishments with this work cannot be overstated. He made a complex topic emotionally moving by unearthing the stories of three men who worked as lawyers inside of the concentration camps in Wyoming, Arizona, and on an Indian Reservation where Japanese-Americans were held as prisoners during World War II. Like Eric, I choose to use the terms “concentration camps” and “prisoners” to describe what the officials euphemistically referred to then as “relocation centers” and “evacuees.”  Today, you may be more familiar with them referred to as Japanese internment camps. Eric is the Dan K. Moore Distinguished Professor of Law in Jurisprudence and Ethics at the University of North Carolina School of Law. It won't surprise you to learn that he is one of the leading scholars of the removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans in World War II. He also focuses his research and writing in the areas of constitutional criminal procedure, the law of slavery, and the Nazi legal system.  Contact Booked Up: You can email Jen & the Booked Up team at: BOOKEDUP@POLITICON.COM or by writing to:  BOOKED UP  P.O.

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODES Dallas is celebrated for creating a "Smart City" neighborhood. Whether you want to call it Agenda21, Agenda47, Agenda 2030, or "Freedom City" they are high tech implementations of the Indian Reservations of the 19th Century. Here's what they're doing in Dallas… (2:07) EU & USA open their borders, then use chaos to require legal tourists to get visas. EU will require Americans to get visas for travel, and vice versa. They're ramping up the permission-society (23:43) Shoplifter get a whooping from store employees. So the city of Stockton comes after store employees protecting themselves from shoplifter (28:59) Letters from listeners (31:51)Billionaires and the OccultTranshumanism, UFOs, poltergeist, cyborgs, AI, brain-computer interfaces, UBI (Universal Basic Income), etc — what do these billionaires who manipulate our society and elections want? (44:35) Biden's 2nd attempt at buying voters with student loan forgiveness shut down by court (54:54) Company given $700 MILLION by Trump goes into bankruptcy (1:02:35) Musk gets $280 MILLION for brain-computer interface (BCI) research.

Hasn't got his BIC yet, but he's already in our heads (1:05:38) Trump and DOJ in a "Hegelian Two-Step" DanceIs this election a professional wrestling narrative, a Hegelian dance of death for America? Trump has his own plans, not just for SMART Cities (his so-called "Freedom Cities") on federal land, but also MORE SUBSIDIES for BigPharma, another part of his "Agenda47" (1:16:38) Do you find it suspicious that BOTH the Mayor and Police Commissioner of NYC on 9/11, who BOTH participated in the 9/11 cover-up — BOTH worked with Trump to "investigate" the 2020 election. Former Police Commissioner, Bernie Kerik, was convicted of 8 felonies and later pardoned by Trump. He refuses to give up 300 documents as part of his election "investigation". Bernie & Rudy, 9/11 cover-up twins, so maybe Jan6 WAS an "Inside Job" but not in the way Trump's fans think. (1:48:40)Electroceuticals: Modifying Human DNA with Electromagnetic Forces (EMF) Desc: It's not just what I called for years the GCI (Genetic Code Injection) mRNA vaccines. Swiss scientists brag that they can turn human parts (in their "mouse models") on and off with electrical signals — and also modify DNA with electrical signals.

If you've wondered what you can do to help save wild horses from slaughter, then this episode is for you. I'm interviewing Susan Wagner about the 2021 SAFE (Save America's Forgotten Equines) Act.   Susan Wagner founded Equine Advocates after discovering the horse-meat slaughter industry for horses, ponies, donkeys and mules. As you'll hear, this is a very complex issue that affects all horses. From banning horse meat consumption for humans and pets to intrastate transport to slaughterhouses on Indian Reservation land, the urgency of the matter cannot be understated and it truly deserves your support.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/12

Many native students go to class in schools that are old – and deteriorating, but one tribe in our region fought hard to improve a school plagued by a bat infestation and other problems. They secured $65 million from the state of Nevada to build a new school that would serve more than 300 students living on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Idaho and Nevada.

What would you do if you knew you could do anything? When do you start living? Our minds can trick us into thinking that when we fail that life stops. What if failing propelled you to your greatest triumph. Terri lost it all and in her late 30s decided it was time to live. How did she do it at almost 74 years old she still in the gym, encouraging others, writing books, and living life on her own terms and without fear.

She has been in the field of education most of her adult life as a teacher of all grades, a Sociology Professor for twenty years, and director of an Independent Study Program, helping adults earn their diplomas. She won many awards, including being recognized for initiating a girl power group, developing innovative career strategies, and working for United Way, helping parolees find employment. She has worked with various Indian Reservations, homeless shelters, and the Cal-Works program at a local college.Her biggest passion is helping women achieve their passion for life, to break free of all the doubts they cling to that stop them from recognizing their worth. She didn't return to school until she was forty, and with the help of the counselors and professors, she could graduate valedictorian in her master's Program. She went on to get her teaching degree and a certificate in special education training. She had adopted two teenage boys with fetal alcohol syndrome, so she could understand what the students in her classes needed.After the Camp Fire in 2018, which took everything from her, she worked in Medford, Oregon, with special needs until the pandemic................................As always you can find me on socials as Toitimeblog and on the blog

Show Notes: Rachel Berger and Will Bachman talk about Rachel's journey since graduating from Harvard. Rachel graduated with a degree in biochemistry and moved to New York City to attend Columbia medical school. She moved to Pittsburgh for her residency and ended up staying for 27 years. After completing her residency, she did a fellowship in general academic pediatrics in Braddock, Pennsylvania.  Rachel took  a job at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in a new division for child advocacy as a child abuse pediatrician.  She eventually became board certified in the field when it became a subspecialty.  Rachel then advanced in her career to become a tenured professor in 2016. After nine years as the leader of the division of child advocacy, Rachel stepped down in September of 2022 and is now focusing on clinical research and advocacy for children.  Establishing the Child Advocacy Centre Child abuse work in the United States has been around since the mid-1970s, when laws were passed which mandated reporting of child abuse but it wasn't a subspecialty until 2009. Establishing this subspecialty and law to report was in response to the number of children who were abused and sent back into a situation that was often fatal. The Child Advocacy Center was set up at the hospital and  employed physicians, nurses, social workers and forensic interviewers to ensure that this would not happen again. The subspecialty combines expertise in pediatric and orthopedic medicine, as well as knowledge in communicating with criminal courts and family courts to help keep children safe. Unfortunately, it is the most underfunded and understaffed of any pediatric subspecialty in the country. However, there are fellowships and other resources available for medical students and residents interested in this field. Recognising and Reporting Child Abuse Rachel explains that there are several different paths a child may take to get to see a child abuse pediatrician. These may include being referred by a hospital, Child Protective Services (CPS) if the child turns up at the Emergency room. Schools are a major source of reports, as teachers often have a close relationship with the children they are supervising, and can be more likely to spot possible abuse. Sometimes a family member may reach out. If abuse is suspected, the school or other responsible body can call the child abuse pediatrician to access their expertise. Rachel talks about how the specialists determine if abuse is taking or has taken place but they put support and services in place that, hopefully, help the children and family. To help recognise whether a child is the victim of abuse, Rachel suggests checking the TEN-4 FACES P mnemonic to identify any signs of abuse that may be serious.  The Prevalence of Child Abuse While it is difficult to determine the number of abuse cases since most children don't or won't talk about it until they are adults, the official data states that around one in seven girls say they have been victim of sexual abuse before they reached the age of 18. She also states that there is a myth that you can “tell” the perpetrators of abuse, and that parents who abuse their children don't love them. Sometimes, it's anger control issues, or even discipline gone awry. Rachel also reflects on the importance of communication between medical experts and child protective services, social workers, attorneys, and police. This can be difficult because they don't understand the medical information.  She talks about how  the subspecialty of child abuse pediatrics had developed to advocate for children in court. It was seen as a combination of different elements, such as the increasing evidence base and the need for experts to advocate for children. However, there was a concern that other pediatrician reporters may become less involved if the subspecialty was created.  There is concern that this could lead to a dangerous precedent where the responsibility for reporting child abuse cases is removed from other pediatricians because they don't think it's their job to do so.  The advantages of having a child abuse pediatrics subspecialty is that there has been a growth in high quality research, and that the NIH has now funded a child abuse pediatric research network. However, Rachel is concerned that there are not enough people going into this field and that this could lead to a lack of access to people with expertise in this field. She suggests that the high bar of board certification might be discouraging people from people covering a small area of child abuse. Overall, they believe that the subspecialty has been a benefit to children and research, but that there is still a need for more people in this field. Rachel has focused her research on how to better identify physical abuse in its early and mildest forms to prevent catastrophic injury. She mentions the Child Abuse Pediatric Research Network (CAP-NET) as a resource for research and noted that it has numerous projects looking into better ways to identify risk, concerning injury,  and intervene in cases of physical abuse. Rachel explains how electronic records and machine learning can help track and identify cases of abuse across different hospitals, locations, systems, and services.  Socio Economic Factors in Child Abuse Rachel discusses policy surrounding child protection and laws established to do so. Research has proven that fatalities from child abuse are far higher than expected and this has led to the need for protective laws to be passed. She goes on to talk about the difficulty of creating laws that protect both the child and the family from maltreatment or misjudgement, and what she offers suggestions on how the systems could be improved.  She cites decreasing childhood poverty as the major factor in reducing abuse. She explains that 30% of kids in the United States are supported by Medicaid, but 70-80% of children involved in child welfare rely on it. While abuse does occur in wealthier families, it is much more common in lower socioeconomic classes, and neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment. To decrease child abuse, Rachel suggests using the earned income tax credit and housing vouchers as two ways to reduce the impacts of childhood poverty. Rachel shares examples of neglect, such as supervisory neglect, malnourishment, educational neglect, and medical neglect. She discusses physical abuse and sexual abuse, explaining that physical abuse often results in the child being admitted to the hospital for treatment, whereas sexual abuse is seen more often in an outpatient setting. Rachel also noted that sexual abuse often involves someone the child knows and trusts. Overall, the conversation highlighted the prevalence of different forms of child abuse and the need for society to address the issue. Working on The Obama Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities Rachel talks about her position as a research lead on the Obama Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities and why she was selected for the commission. The commission traveled to 17 places in the United States, including at least one Indian Reservation, and talked to different child welfare agencies, hospitals, police, and child advocacy centers. The commission's report focused on different types of child abuse and how communities respond to these situations. She was shocked to discover that communities were not seeking out information from other communities on how they were dealing with situations of abuse despite reports sent out from newspapers around the country about children who had died or nearly died of abuse.  The commission put together a public report at the end, but it wasn't implemented due to the change in presidential administrations. Some of the recommendations from the commission have been implemented by the Casey Family Programs.  Rachel reflects on how powerful the experience was, how it shaped the next step of her career, and how she learned a lot about politics and how it is involved in an area that should be beyond political machinations of the day.  Courses and Professors of Influence Professors mentioned by Rachel include Doug Melton.  Timestamps: 07:42 Child Abuse Referrals and Prevalence  15:15 Myths Surrounding Child Abuse and Navigating External Systems  15:39 The Challenges of Communicating Medical Information to Non-Medical Professionals  17:51 The Evolution of Subspecialty in Child Abuse Pediatrics  24:41 Research in the Field of Child Abuse Pediatrics  28:46 Potential for Machine Learning to Identify High Risk Kids in Medical Records  31:07 Exploring the Benefits of Electronic Health Records in Clinical Practice  34:28 Policy Changes to Better Protect Children from Abuse  39:19 Socioeconomic Distribution of Child Abuse  45:15 Child Maltreatment and Presidential Commissions  CONTACT INFO: rachel.berger@chp.edu Rachelpberger@gmail.com  

Melissa, Leah, and Kate preview three Supreme Court cases up for argument this week. The cases focus on water rights on Indian reservations, the constitutionality of a federal law that prohibits people from encouraging unlawful immigration, and Jack Daniels (yes, the alcohol company) suing a dog toy company over a poop-related joke.

Unlike many states in the Midwest, including Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, Illinois doesn't have any federally recognized Indian reservations. Yet all around the state, in the names of cities, rivers, streets and sports teams, there are reminders that we are living on land where Native Americans once farmed, traded and made their home. So why doesn't Illinois have any reservations? The answer requires a look back at the region's history beginning in the 1700s.

The foster care system in the United States is broken, and American Indians live on desolate reservations, reminiscing of the lands their ancestors rode around on horseback; these groups have more in common than you might think. In this episode, Sebas discusses how two distinct groups forgotten by the American majority live the life we all experience with similar attitudes while facing significantly different challenges. The biggest question that rests on the mind of those who pay attention is how it is possible to solve the issues that challenge these two groups daily. It all starts by clicking the play button.

Today we're joined by Naomi Schaefer Riley, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of "The New Trail of Tears: How Washington Is Destroying American Indians," to discuss what's really happening on Native American reservations. Many of us have heard of the disproportionate rates of violence and crime on reservations, but there's little information on why this is happening. One of the biggest problems isn't lack of funds, as many on the Left would have you believe – it's mismanagement of funds. We talk about how the cycle of throwing money at the problem never fixes it and discuss the horror of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, which prioritizes keeping Native American children on reservations over putting them in safe homes. We also discuss poor education rates on reservations and look intro why Native Americans don't seem to have the same protections from crime and violence that the rest of the country does, even though they are U.S. citizens just like anyone else. Then, we ask what we can do to help. --- Timecodes: [01:44] Interview with Naomi begins [05:15] Why do Native Americans stay on reservations?
