Marketing effectiveness has fallen by nearly a quarter since 2020. Ian Baer, Founder & Chief Soothsayer at Sooth, offers his insights on how healthcare organizations can respond, with Jim Cagliostro.   Episode Introduction Ian shares how 90% of today's marketing decisions are emotional, and 80% are made on impulse, and the challenges of ‘'marketing by the pound.'' He also explains why a regulatory environment means healthcare often stays in the shallow end of the marketing pool, how data unlocks empathy between brands and audiences, and advises everyone to ‘'bring your soul to work every day.''   Show Topics   Making emotional connections in marketing Sooth helps brands to understand the truth Healthcare has unique marketing challenges ‘'Marketing by the pound'' The roadmap of healthcare marketing is the most complicated The power of patient stories Leadership tip: Bring your soul to work every day     08:13 Making emotional connections in marketing  Ian said 90% of the decisions people make when spending money are emotional.  ‘'AI, it's very buzzwordy, but what it does for us is it allows me to take what used to require one or two years of custom research that might cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, into a methodology that we can execute in a few weeks to give a brand a very clear understanding of the emotional journey of the individual that they're trying to reach. Now of course, the impact in healthcare is huge because look, 90% of all the decisions people make when it comes to spending their money are emotional. It's a big mistake marketers made for decades upon decades in thinking there's a balance between the rational and their emotional. No, there isn't. People make emotional decisions, and then they seek rationale to back up where their heart has already gone. And Harvard did some brilliant work that they published in 2016, an article I recommend to anybody and everybody get their hands on, called The New Science of Customer Emotion. .. And what they found was, of the thousands of different emotions we all experience, it's been estimated that people experience 34,000 different emotions. … But what they found is there are actually only 10 things that we feel as humans that have a positive correlation to the way we spend our money.''   14:54 Sooth helps brands to understand the truth  Ian explained the background to his company name, and its purpose.   ‘'So, I went looking through my LinkedIn profile, just going through all my experience and, "How can I describe what I do?" And I found a LinkedIn recommendation from a former client in which he referred to me as, "Soothsayer." And it reminded me that very often, when we were at a time of crisis for his brand, he would pick up the phone and call me and say, "Oh, soothsayer." And that would very often start our conversations. I thought, "Well, that's a really interesting word." I always thought a soothsayer was somebody who predicts the future. It's not. Soothsayer is somebody who tells the truth. The word sooth literally means truth. It just went obsolete in the English language about 400 years ago when Shakespeare got done with it, which is what enabled me to actually trademark it as the name of a business. It's pretty hard to get a vernacular word as the name of your company. So, when we decided to name the business Sooth, because in reality that is exactly what we're doing is helping brands understand the truth, then it just followed suit that I should be the soothsayer, that we actually have two practices at the company. We have the soothsaying practice, which is determining what the truths are, and then our client partnership practice, we call those people ‘'soothsolvers'' because what they do is actually take the truth and put it to work in really smart marketing recommendations, and work in partnership with senior leaders on the client side.''   17:23 Healthcare has unique marketing challenges Ian said the regulatory environment means that healthcare is averse to taking marketing risks.  ‘'Because of the regulatory environment, healthcare marketers have learned to play it extremely safe, and it's understandable. The last thing you want is a slap on the wrist, or much worse, from the FDA when you've spent countless millions of dollars, let's say, bringing a drug to market. But the result is most healthcare marketers have become conditioned to stay in the very shallow end of the swimming pool. And where that becomes unfortunate, we spoke earlier about no industry really needing empathy in their marketing more than healthcare. Well, we now have the ability through use of data, through use of technology, through one-to-one connection and interaction, through experience design, to create a really special personal experience. And yet, data privacy is a scary thing. Engaging with someone, one-on-one, whether it's through social media or other, that's a scary thing because you may wind up having to capture adverse reaction information that you then have to report to the FDA, that a lot of people would prefer not to get their hands up. So, the result is you have too many brands that don't say enough to really be helpful to people, and they're holding back way too much. And one of the biggest challenges there is the unregulated side of the healthcare space, the area that a lot of healthcare marketers might not want to acknowledge as legitimate, companies selling nutritional supplements, companies selling devices that don't really have any medical benefit, but they're claiming, "Just put this on your wrist. Just put this on your knee. Just sit up against this thing." They're not operating under the auspices of the FDA. They're making outrageous claims, and almost daring consumers and competitors to sue them. And because we live in a world now, where it's very hard for anyone to find one truth in any area of marketing or the news, consumers are somewhat in the crosshairs here. So, if healthcare marketers play it too safe and continue to stay in the shallow end, the ones who lose are the very patients and families that they're trying to help, because they'll chase false promises that really are leading healthcare marketers can fulfill in a much more meaningful way.''   21:35 ‘'Marketing by the pound'' Ian said marketing effectiveness is down by nearly a quarter since 2020 and 80% of people make decisions on impulse.  ‘'Yeah, marketing effectiveness overall is down 23% since 2020, as a global practice, across all industries. Marketing is significantly less effective than it was 20 years ago. So, we have more data than ever, more technology than ever, more access to people than ever. And we're getting so bad at this that most brands have now shifted much more to managing the economics of marketing, how much they're spending. It's become somewhat of a marketing by the pound model because if we can't get it to produce more, then we just have to spend less on it. And everyone has gotten to settle for this reduced level of performance. How did we get here? Well, impulse is a huge issue. The extent to which people make purchase decisions, and a decision to seek out a certain medication, that falls into the category of purchase decisions. The extent to which people do this on impulse has doubled in the last 10 years, and the amount of money people spend on impulse purchases like that, "I'm going to click twice on this Facebook ad and get those gummies and throw out my metformin." That's happening faster than ever. So, when 90% of decisions are emotional, when 80% of people are making decisions on impulse, which means they're not gathering the facts, they're not gathering information, they're not calling their doctor, they're not asking other people who are suffering with the same condition. They're just saying, "Yep, that's for me." That's how we got here.   26:33 The roadmap of healthcare marketing is the most complicated Ian explained why patients and professionals walk one path, with multiple points of view at every step.  ‘'Here, every step of the way, there's an advisory relationship going on. There are certain things the consumer can do without the professional. There are certain things they cannot do without the profession, and it really is a pathway that needs to be curated. We need to understand where they come together and the information they need to reach the right decisions, and where they're going to be off on their own, exposed to different information. So, I think starting with the fact that there is no differentiated journey between the patient and the professional, but actually it's one journey, it's one path, and they're both walking it. They just enter and exit at different times. I think that's the most critical truth to understand, to start to do this thing the right way and to see every one of the decision points through multiple sets of eyes: the patient, the professional, often caregivers are involved. Sometimes you have primary and specialist professionals, institutions, payers. There are multiple points of view at every stage that need to be considered. It is the most complicated roadmap of marketing that exists.''   30:32 The power of patient stories  Ian said there's no substitute for hearing people's ‘'data-rich'' real stories.  ‘'There's a lot of things a drug company can't say, that a patient can. And I think the more drug companies get comfortable giving voice to the people who are actually on the journey with that disease or that illness, it's really going to help bridge the gap between this kind of odd mix of old school branding and clinical detail. But within all of that, I have a hard time finding the humanity, and I think the more brands get comfortable, letting people tell the story of what it's really like to experience the uncertainty of disease, the hope that comes with treatments. I had a heart attack six months ago, a massive heart attack, the type that has a 96% fatality rate. It was the first cardiac event of my life. It changed my perspective on everything. I've learned a lot about my body, about my health, about what it's going to take to live a good healthy life for as long as I can. I've got a story to tell. There's millions of people like me who have stories to tell, and I would love to see more healthcare marketers be brave enough to let people tell their own stories. I think that would make a dramatic difference. Through the work we do here, we try to approximate that. We do a very good job of creating data-rich stories that represent people's beliefs and fears and tendencies. There is no substitute for hearing people's real stories. And when I see healthcare brands step up and tell real stories, I applaud them…… People retain information 30 times more when they hear it in a story.''   34:41 Leadership tip: Bring your soul to work every day  Ian shared an encounter with journalist Jimmy Breslin.  ‘'If you've never heard of Jimmy Breslin, you should find out who Jimmy Breslin was, because in New York in the 1970s and '80s, he was the most important voice in journalism. He told the stories of this city. And I got to meet him. And in a conversation in which he talked me out of a career in journalism, which is a story for another day, the advice he left me with was... the last thing he said as I walked out of the room, "Hey kid, don't be a suit. Whatever you do, don't be a suit." Now, nothing wrong with suits. I own a few. I wear them occasionally, but what it really meant to me and what I internalized and have carried as a mission is, "Don't ever give up who you are in the pursuit of business success. Don't ever give up your integrity. Don't ever give up your identity. Don't ever let a company tell you what you're really about as a human being." That has never let me down. It has defined both my good and bad career choices, but I think as much as you can stay true to yourself, that's what the world needs from you. AI is going to move in and automate a lot of the things that we don't need humans to do for themselves. So, more than ever, really bring your soul to work every day, and everyone that surrounds you will benefit from that.''   Connect with Lisa Miller on LinkedIn Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Connect with Ian Baer on LinkedIn    Check out VIE Healthcare and SpendMend    You'll also hear:    Ian's mission at Sooth: ‘'There's nothing more we can do as marketers, as a noble mission, than to help people live better, longer, healthier lives, protect families against the economic crisis that healthcare represents in our country right now. And that endless money pit, and homes and savings being lost, chasing solutions….. Our mission at Sooth is really all about being able to quantify and leverage a very deep level of understanding and empathy to solve people's problems. And gosh, doesn't healthcare need that?''   Disease is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US: ‘'People don't talk about that enough. It is more than just selling drugs. So much more than that. When you talk to people whose lives are being impacted by these diseases, it changes everything.''   What Soothsayer offers to healthcare organizations: ‘'What we do as a practice is give brands a highly robust understanding of all of that intricate emotional decision-making that they can literally wire their brand's marketing into. There is no category where empathy matters more than healthcare because everyone's journey with an illness is unique. …we're able to see all the way through, see where those emotions collide, see where they might cause people to sort of go into their own camps and how the brands can bring them back together.''   Why brand equity is occupying the wrong place in the timeline: ‘'Most brands still are too focused on the moment of truth, whether that truth is a click, whether that truth is a purchase, whether it's making an appointment, whether it's a visit, whether it's an order, whether it's a script. And what they're not focusing on is understanding who that person is before those transactional moments take place, and solving their problems, or at least giving them a pathway to a solution before they ever reach the moment of impulse. Because once you let them get to that moment of impulse, it is Dodge City.''   Data unlocks empathy: ‘'…my whole business is about using data to unlock empathy between brands and audiences. So, there's a huge role for data to play, but data is not just about targeting and segmentation and managing the numbers side of things. We are all, really, walking data vaults. Our data includes experiences, our data includes our emotions, our impulses. These are data points too, and they're every bit as valid and important, and drive 90% of the impact of marketing effectiveness.''

Few people have had more of an impact on modern journalism than Jimmy Breslin. Breslin was a Pulitzer Prize Award-winning New York journalist and author who rose to fame in the 1960s, with columns that attracted millions of readers. Breslin displayed an unrivaled mastery at deadline journalism, whether he was covering John Lennon's murder, the assassination of Malcolm X or the man who dug John F. Kennedy's grave. His influential style has resonated long after his six-decade career came to an end and continues to this day. One person who was influenced by Breslin's writing is New York Times columnist Dan Barry. Barry is the editor of a brand new anthology of Breslin's best work, titled “Jimmy Breslin: Essential Works.” Barry joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss their shared love of Breslin's columns, as well as how he changed journalism. They also discussed the way he wrote about the people who rarely made the headlines. Finally, they touched on the current state of the New York Times, where he continues to work.

2023 marks 40 years since Mario Cuomo was sworn in as governor of New York for the first time. Cuomo was one of the most unlikely politicians the state had seen in a long time. The child of illiterate working-class immigrants who owned a grocery store in South Jamaica, Cuomo was a public-school genius who found himself graduating at the top of his class at St. John's Law School. After taking a few pro-bono cases representing homeowners in Queens, Cuomo found himself encouraged to enter politics by legendary journalists Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill, as well as NYC Mayor John Lindsay. What followed was a wild rise up the ranks, one that included a highly publicized run for mayor, as well as turns as lieutenant governor and New York secretary of state before finally being elected governor. From the perspective of his advisers and the reporters that covered him – some of them speaking about their experiences with Cuomo for the first time – we'll find out how Cuomo managed to become a major political figure in the Democratic Party despite having a background that differed from most elected officials.  See more on our Mario Cuomo series at ny1.com/mariocuomo.

Dan Barry paid his dues on his journey to becoming an acclaimed author and writer and columnist for The New York Times. There was a first job at a small paper in Connecticut where he covered the murder of one of his newspaper colleagues. There was a disastrous first job interview at the Times, having nothing to do with Dan or actually anyone at the Times either.  And there is the priceless story of Dan walking to a cancer procedure in the early 2000s, accompanied by his newspaper writing hero, Jimmy Breslin.  Enjoy part two of my conversation with Dan Barry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Son of Sam Chronicles: The reimagining of The Jimmy Breslin letters part 2 With special guest Kris David Berkowitz, also known as the "Son of Sam" killer, wrote several letters to New York Daily News reporter Jimmy Breslin during his infamous murder spree in the summer of 1977. One of these letters, known as the "Son of Sam" letter, contained a series of bizarre confessions, rambling thoughts, and cryptic messages. Here is a breakdown of some of the key elements of this letter: 1. Opening: The letter begins with the salutation "Hello from the gutters of N.Y.C." and includes various nonsense phrases like "666," "Woe is us," and "Blood and Family." This sets the tone for the erratic and unsettling content that follows. 2. Confession: Berkowitz confesses to several murders and attempted murders, but claims that he is not acting alone. He refers to himself as a "member of the prototypical 'huddled masses'" and implies that he is part of a greater movement. 3. Justification: Berkowitz states that he is on a mission from a group that he refers to as "the Wicked King Wicker" to kill "young bloods." He insists that his actions are not his own, but rather part of a larger plan. 4. Barrage of names: The letter includes a long list of names of people who Berkowitz claims are also part of the group he is working with. He refers to these individuals as "commanders" and "your brothers in the kingdom." 5. Threats: The letter concludes with threats against Jimmy Breslin and his family. Berkowitz writes, "And now to death. Specifically yours!...I am the Monster. Beelzebub. The chubby behemouth." Overall, Berkowitz's letter to Jimmy Breslin is a disturbing and unsettling mix of confessions, justifications, delusions, and threats. It provides a glimpse into the mind of a killer who was both trying to communicate his message and intimidate those who were trying to stop him. https://carldenaro.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1952225531/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_glt_fabc_S1YN7GGNME77MK7GB6ZC Carl Denaro, Blog at WordPress.com. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/the-sons-of-sam-reviewed-a-netflix-docuseries-confronts-a-true-crime-legend/amp https://people.com/crime/son-of-sam-survivor-carl-denaro-interview/?amp=true https://nypost.com/2021/05/01/son-of-sam-survivor-claims-shooter-was-satanic-cult-priestess/amp/ #sonofsam #DavidBerkowitz #SerialKiller #TrueCrime #SonOfSamCase #Berkowitz #SummerOfSam #1970sCrime #NYCcrime #CrimeHistory #InfamousKillers #SonOfSamStory #UnsolvedMysteries #SerialKillerProfiles #Murderinos #CrimeBuffs #DarkHistory #ChillingCrimes #ColdCaseFiles #TrueCrimeCommunity @sonofsam @CarlDenaro @mystery @cults @ProcessChurch @Themagicalchilde @warlock @wick @magik @witch #witch #magic #JimmyBreslin #DavidBerkowitz #SonOfSam #SerialKiller #TrueCrime #LettersFromKillers #NewYorkDailyNews #Journalism Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ https://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80 https://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net https://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by ·Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708 https://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup

It provides a glimpse into the mind of a killer who was both trying to communicate his message and intimidate those who were trying to stop him. https://carldenaro.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1952225531/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_glt_fabc_S1YN7GGNME77MK7GB6ZC Carl Denaro, Blog at WordPress.com. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/the-sons-of-sam-reviewed-a-netflix-docuseries-confronts-a-true-crime-legend/amp https://people.com/crime/son-of-sam-survivor-carl-denaro-interview/?amp=true https://nypost.com/2021/05/01/son-of-sam-survivor-claims-shooter-was-satanic-cult-priestess/amp/ #sonofsam #DavidBerkowitz #SerialKiller #TrueCrime #SonOfSamCase #Berkowitz #SummerOfSam #1970sCrime #NYCcrime #CrimeHistory #InfamousKillers #SonOfSamStory #UnsolvedMysteries #SerialKillerProfiles #Murderinos #CrimeBuffs #DarkHistory #ChillingCrimes #ColdCaseFiles #TrueCrimeCommunity @sonofsam @CarlDenaro @mystery @cults @ProcessChurch @Themagicalchilde @warlock @wick @magik @witch #witch #magic #JimmyBreslin #DavidBerkowitz #SonOfSam #SerialKiller #TrueCrime #LettersFromKillers #NewYorkDailyNews #Journalism Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ https://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80 https://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net https://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by ·Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708 https://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup

Max Scherzer was ejected from the Mets' final game in Los Angeles for having on his right hand what the pitcher said was perfectly legal sweat and rosin. Perhaps next time he'll see if spit and vinegar meets with the umpires' approval. Whatever substances were involved, the Mets got their California adventure off to an excellent start, running up a 17-6 score in Oakland, which is something you don't see every day (even if you can't help but see that horrible uniform advertising patch). In case 2023 isn't eventful enough for you, National League Town introduces the "It Happens in Threes" anniversary segment that this week will take you back 60 years to the days of banners, placards and Jimmy Breslin.

Rob is back again with Bubbawheat of Flights, Tights and Movie Nights as Sally tries really hard to understand Jess' diatribe about Jimmy Breslin.

It's a long ways from the Big Apple to the Little Orange, but the issues and the personalities that shape them are remarkably similar. One key advantage New York had that Ojai didn't was an epic chronicler and columnist with the street smarts and monumental charisma of Jimmy Breslin. He was the perfect fit for his beat — with its charlatans, wiseguys, politicians and police — and the connections that brought them all together to create the vivid world of New York City from the early 1960s onward. Breslin's son Kevin joins the podcast to talk about his singular father, his connections to Ojai and his own brilliant career. The winner of every distinction and honor the world of journalism has to offer, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1986, Breslin got his start as a humble beat reporter for the New York Herald who was thrust into the melee surrounding the assassination of JFK. Without having the sources, campaign and government insiders or connections, Breslin found a way into the story that made his mark: Interviewing Clifton Pollard, an unassuming man with the painful task of burying the president. Breslin's gravedigger story announced the arrival of a singular talent who, as much or more than anyone else, created New York City's image as a blue-collar, take-no-bullshit town with a cast of colorful characters including the famous and infamous, the charming rogues and hard-working Everymen for whom he wrote his three-times-a-week column for decades. Breslin has himself made news, as when Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz wrote him letters about his coverage, and when he was savagely beaten by organized crime figures at a restaurant owned by Henry Hill of "Wiseguys" fame. Breslin was also a celebrity — besides his column (which included plenty of investigative and breaking news reporting — he also wrote popular novels, was a regular on the talk-show circuit, had his own talk show, ran for public office and starred in TV commercials. Along with his compatriot and competitor Pete Hamill, his beat was the sprawling, noisy and good-hearted metropolis. Kevin Breslin has had his own brilliant career as an actor and filmmaker. His documentary "Living for 32" about the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings was shortlisted for an Academy Award, and he has also written feature films, including "Blowtorch."

“Hello from the gutters of N.Y.C. which are filled with dog manure, vomit, stale wine, urine and blood. Hello from the sewers of N.Y.C. which swallow up these delicacies when they are washed away by the sweeper trucks. Hello from the cracks in the sidewalks of N.Y.C. and from the ants that dwell in these cracks and feed in the dried blood of the dead that has settled into the cracks.” Across 13 months of 1976 and 1977, NYC was the location of a series of murders that held the city hostage. Nowhere it seemed was safe, as he stalked the streets whenever he chose, striking it seemed with impunity. The words read in the beginning of this introduction is an excerpt of a letter that was mailed to Jimmy Breslin of the New York daily news in may of 1977, Written by the perpetrator of the murders, the son of sam. But did he act alone? Or were there many sons and daughters out there who were never caught? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thoughtrebellion/support

In this week's episode, we take a deep dive into the VERY dark side of Baby Formula. What the scientific evidence says, the exact side effects of the most common ingredients according to medical research, and the long-term side effects of long-term usage; which include a lower average IQ and an overall 50% INCREASE in morbidity. The sad reality is that much of our nation has been convinced through malicious marketing that this convenient pharmaceutical product is a replacement for the miracle of a Mothers body, and they are DEAD wrong. We also discuss Jen Psaki's farewell to the White House Press secretary position as she eyes a 7-figure contract with Blackrock and Vanguard owned Comcast company MSNBC and take a listen in on the terrible first day on the job her replacement had.

My name is Austin Adams. Red pill revolution started out with me realizing every thing that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpret about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoonfed as a child, religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it, everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. Now I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome to the rebel. Hello, and welcome to red pill revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Thank you so much for listening today. I am very, very interested to get into this discussion with you guys today. Again, this is episode number 28, and we're going to be tackling some interesting topics. There's been some really interesting happenings over the last few, I guess, week or so since we discussed the 2000 mules documentary. So I'm very interested to get into some of these discussions a little bit. That last episode that we did was kind of a really deep dive into a singular topic, whereas we'll kind of get back to some more current events some more interesting things that have been going on over the last couple of weeks, including the change of the white house, press secretary. And where our last, most beloved pisarski went. I guess that's how you pronounce her name. Maybe I get it right now that she's left office, but that will be one of the topics that we discuss is where did she go? Why did she go there in who is replacing her? And we'll actually listen into some of the clips from the very first white house press briefing that she did. We're also going to go into a deeper discussion surrounding the baby formula shortage. That is right there is allegedly a shortage of baby formula. And meanwhile, Joe Biden is shutting down and the FDA is shutting down some of the largest plants in the country. And we'll discuss if you should even be giving your baby formula, we'll talk about who made the formula. What's in the form of. And maybe some of the side effects and the actual statistical outcomes of using baby formula, which is quite terrifying. So we're going to discuss all of that and more today. So thank you so much for listening. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, really, truly. I love doing this. It means so much to me. So thank you so much for being a part of it. Every single week, I plan on getting better. I plan on taking a deeper dive into some of these topics and doing everything I can to put out the best content possible. If there's anything at all that you can think of that I can do to make this podcast better, please let me know, send me a message wherever you can find me at. He'll revolt. All right. While you're doing that. Well, maybe if you're not doing that even go ahead and hit that subscribe button right now, whether you're on apple podcasts, whether you're on Spotify, Google podcasts, wherever the hell, you get your podcasts, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. For me, it would mean the world. That means that you're just going to follow along on this journey of us diving deeper into each one of these topics, right? And today I think is a really important discussion, whether you have kids or not, your ass was a baby at one point or another. And the likelihood of you having children, just like every single ancestor that you've had before you having children is generally quite high. So this is a really important discussion, whether you have children now, whether you don't have children, whether you've already had children and you're you're in a later stage of life, this is something that we should really be advocating for them. It's a really a. Interesting topic discussing the history of even these things. But anyways, I'm, I'm going too far off topic. Go ahead and hit that subscribe button. It takes two seconds. It gives you a, a very beautiful, good feeling. Know that you've done something for somebody else today to join me on this journey. I appreciate you so much. Then when you're done with that, go ahead and hit that five star review. Some jerk left, a four star review. What is that about? This is a five star podcast. If you think there's anything less, you need to send me a message and tell me what I can do to make it better. No need to leave a review that does not. What will help is if you send me a message, truly, honestly, if there's anything I can do to make this better, go ahead and send me a message. I would love to do that for you, but if you think this is a five-star podcast and only if you think this is a pie, five star podcast, leave a five-star review, write something nice in the reviews for me, tell me your favorite episode. Tell me whatever it is that you learned from this podcast. Whatever it is. Go ahead and leave that five star review. Alright, done. Written, done rambling. That's all I got. All right, so let's go ahead and dive deep into this topic. The first one we're going to be looking at, I think is a little interesting. There's been some, some recent clips of Kamala Harris that have come out where she is just going on and babbling can barely put together an entire sentence, repeating herself over and over again. And just kind of like this weird, I don't know if somebody did this in a conversation with you, you would probably be a little puzzled, right? So let's go ahead and watch our first clip today, which is going to become a Harris. Now this is a clip from a month. Where she discusses the passage of time, speaking of passages of time during the time that she repeats herself in this, you know, probably a minute and a half, two minutes goes by just over and over again. So really just kind of, you know, we, we always talk about the difficulty that Joe Biden has speaking, but we need to put more attention on the vice-president and how much of an idiot she is as well, because this is really I don't know, I've just never, I've never really seen somebody talk in this manner. That's being serious, especially on a political platform, let alone the second to the world leader of basically the most powerful country allegedly in the world. So here is our vice-president Eleanor and I, and we were all doing a tour of the library here. And I'm talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is a great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of, oh my gosh. So, so just over and over again, when you think about the passage of time and, and you, you wonder about how time really does pass now, during the time that I've been speaking about this, there has been such a passage of time that you and I both perceive said passage through the timeframe in which we are passing. And in that timeframe, we shall pass this passage together in time. What is this really the best that we can do as a nation, right? Like there's some real, like, I don't claim to be the smartest guy in the room in most rooms. Then some I'll claim to be the smartest guy, but a lot of rooms, I don't claim to be the smartest guy. Right. The same goes, if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room, right. You should probably find a more, more intelligent people to be around if you're the smartest guy. So I don't claim to be the smartest guy in the room, but what I know is I can finish a sentence, right? I, I it's, it's crazy to me that out of everybody in our country, there's Harvard professors, there's, you know, unbelievable political you know, powerful individuals who have, who are profound speeches in, in, in the ability to move mountains with their words. And this is who we pay. This is what you have for me. This is, this is who we voted for with the passage of time or who we didn't vote for. If you watched the last episode. And if he didn't listen to the last episode, you should go watch it. Cause that's crazy. Because apparently we didn't actually vote these people in office, according to this documentary and some of the statistics that true the vote came out with. Anyways, but I digress. It's unbelievable to me that this is the best and brightest that the United States could find. This is both in an 87 year old geriatric blubbering dementia written, you know, and I don't even feel like insulting Joe Biden that much. Like it really is just kind of sad. Right? It's it's, it's, it's sad to see, you know, it's like you could put your grandpa or your, I guess even your great grandpa in some instances in the position of Joe Biden and. And start to feel bad for this guy. The fact that his wife like pushes him up there and then HESTA hold his hand to show him where to go and when to answer questions. And it's, it's almost sad now, now what's not sad about it is this man has been in politics for 45 years and that he has taken all sorts of money from, you know, the China's and the rushes in the funnel, it through Ukraine. And now he's pushing hundreds of bits. So it definitely plays a part. But to me, it's mostly just sad, right? Because anybody could put their blubbering dementia written grandpa in the office and then see the effects of this. Now Kamala Harris is a different story. This woman is fully capable. She's what I don't know. 48 something, I don't know, 55 in that 48 to 55 range, probably she should be capable of completing a sentence in a coherent manner, right. Without all the ums and the AHS and the, this and the, that, and the, the repeating of sentences, w like she should be able to use her consciousness to come up with a full thought and be able to like, imagine your teacher rambling on like that in high school, you'd be like, what the fuck is this person even saying? So anyways, that was the first clip that was about a month ago. Now the most recent clip is the one that we're about to watch here. And this one is just as bad, just as bad as that last one only, I think it's even a little bit longer. So let's go ahead and watch this clip and see what our vice vice-president has to say this time. I often note, and I've talked with many of you about our shared belief that our world is increasingly more interconnected and interdependent. That is especially true when it comes to the climate crisis, which is why we will work together and continue to work together to address these issues, to tackle these challenges and to work together. As we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements that we will convene to work together on to galvanize global action, we will, we will work together and we will continue working together to work towards the same goal together in our togetherness towards this goal together. Again, I just, I don't get it. How can you not, how can you not complete a sentence? How can you not fully finish a thought? Right. Like in any situation, like I think the white house press secretary probably has a much more difficult job than the president in this situation to actually have to verbalize and answered in a long form format. Some of the questions that these people have to deal with now, now the she's literally reading from something, right. It's almost like, you know, she, they, they put a topic into a Google or something and it just spit out words onto a word document. And then she said you know, th what are the key words that we want to hit here? Well, working together. Okay. Well, and then it just started repeating itself over and over and over again. And she just started like, it's, it reminds me of a, what is it? The exact elephant academic. Where I'm pretty sure there's a scene where he has like a teleprompter in front of him. Is that a pretty sure it's that one where he has inside of Zack alpha that cause her welfare where there's a teleprompter in front of him and no, it's, it's it's Ron burgundy, anchorman, Ron burgundy, anchorman, where he has the teleprompter in front of him. And he's reading off this speech and it's like all wrong and it's like, hilarious. I'll have to find the clip and I'll post it. Cause it's, it's so funny, but who in the world are these speech writers? Like they need to be demoted, right? And again, how is this the best and the brightest that we can find for speech writers, then she's sitting there reading a piece of paper and still cannot form a coherent thoughts around surrounding this topic. It's it's so baffling to me that these, this is our leadership, right? Like at least give me somebody competent, right? Oh, Barack Obama. For all of his corruption and all of the shitty policies that were passed, had the ability to form a sentence. It's literally a comedy. The United States is a comedy right now with the people that we have in office. You could literally put together a set, the satire season of shows, showing how ridiculous it is that this is who we chose for our world leadership. And you would only have to turn the knob by like 15%, like literally just a little bit 15% would get you to a point where it would be a legitimate satirical comedy from where it is right now today. And right now it's just sad. It's just a little sad to me that this is who we have representing our great names. Like, again, I'll always fall back to this. I'm a Patriot. I believe in what our constitution stands for. I believe in what the American flag stands for. I believe that we are the greatest nation of people. In the world. I do believe that when a hundred percent, I believe we're a great nation full of great culture. And it's been hijacked by a bunch of, multibillionaires who have put puppets into office. And in this case they just did it with the wrong, like incoherent, blubbering, idiots, like, and so again, I don't want to sound like I'm just crushing or speaking negatively consistently about the United States, I believe in the United States and what we stand for. I don't believe in this government, I don't believe in these, these individuals who are running our country. And to me, it's just sad that, that this is who is facing us, are facing out, who is representing us on the world stage, who is going to these meetings, who is meeting with the, you know, world leaders at these global meetings. Like the, you know, Davos, which is coming up. If you don't know what data. I did a deep dive episode onto the world economic forum in Davos and what their agenda is, their 20, 30 agenda should look into that is a really interesting topic. But, but the leadership that they've put into office to me is just unbelievably stupid. And, and the fact that neither of them, neither of them could pass a sixth grade public speaking class with the way that they speak to the entire world on the biggest world platform, that there is, how is this the best that we have? It's not, obviously we all know that this is not the best that we have, but why are we not finding the best that we is this a legitimate, purposeful attempt to run our nation into the ground? Like what, what, what are we doing here? Why, why has it turned into this? You know, like what, why, why are we so, humiliated on this stage right now? Why, why are. Why is everybody not looking at these conversations and being just completely demoralized with who is representing us to the public and maybe they are, maybe the left has gotten to a point now where they are a little fed up with the, the, the, you know, at least the inability to form a coherent sentence, hopefully. But I don't know. It's really sad to me that this is who's representing us on the world stage. Now, speaking of who was representing us or representing these people, at least who was supposed to be the people who could actually speak on their behalf and form a coherent sentence in, in circle back to the actual answers. Eventually let's talk about Jen  and again, every time I say that word, I literally have no idea how to say her stupid name.  Said her final goodbyes as the white house press secretary and oh, so sad. Just like shit. I had to cry. That she had to leave the office and be ridiculed by everybody the entire time for the way that she approached these questions. So here is, is pisarski saying her final goodbye as the white house press secretary. And as we'll find out later, as she leaves for a horrible, very sad transition to a multimillion dollar deal with MSNBC. Hm. More on that in the. But before we do that, I do have an announcement to make. All right. I have found a way to start to be able to put some more time, energy, and effort into this, and I hope you guys enjoy it. I hope it's something that works out for you guys as well. What I am talking about. So as I've, hadn't been having this conversation surrounding, you know, trying to figure out ways to monetize this podcast, also not implementing like, you know, men's depends, underwear where, you know, go to this website and use this code. I just it's it's a little, I don't know. It doesn't sit right with me now from one side of it, it doesn't sit right with me as a consumer. I know most of the time I'll just press the fast forward button. Right? It's like, it doesn't do much for you now on the other side of. I also know it doesn't do much for the podcast, right. It doesn't make any sense for a podcast to basically sell time on their podcast, to the profitability of another corporation. And so I was trying to think through some ways in which it would be both easier for you guys and easier for me to make this a mutually beneficial relationship. And this is how I've done it. So I come from an insurance background prior to this, I had an insurance agent. Built train, help all people with sales and that type of thing had a sales consulting agency after that. But prior to that, I had my health and life license. And so what I've decided to do is to just put an online platform for you guys, to be able to protect yourself, protect your family, protect your assets through life insurance. And now you don't have to talk on the phone with anybody. Usually what you'll get is you'll put your phone number online, you'll get a hundred different calls from a hundred different agents who are all trying to sell you some shitty policy that probably has a, you know, Universal life and all this crazy shit that you don't actually need. And so the hands-off way that I found to do it is you can go to my website right now, red pill, revolution dot C O, and there is a link on there right now that you can click and it will take you to a landing page. That is my landing page with my life insurance license on there for you guys, you can go apply, run a quote for yourself, just to give you an idea. I ran a call for myself a little bit earlier. It was like 60 bucks for a $2 million policy for myself. And when the things that that does for my family, if I pass away, right. Now with all the crazy shit that's been going. And all the preparation that you're doing in your life, whether it's food shortages, baby formula, shortages, whatever it is, protect your family, because you w you know, some of that stuff might happen, right? That's the idea, some of that might happen, but what's definitely gonna happen is you're gonna die. Whether it's today, whether it's tomorrow, whether it's next year, I hope it's a hundred years from now, but it's gonna fucking happen to all of us. You're going to die. It's going to happen to you. So protect yourself, protect your family, red pill, revolution.co, go, run a quote for yourself, and then run through the application process. There's a 95% approval rating on these life insurance products. So what I recommend is a term life policy that doesn't have to do with any of the investing BS that comes along with it. Just, just save your family from being broken when you die. Just do that. But as of right now, there's about eight or nine states specifically to sign up for that life insurance policy. And here they are. Let me go ahead and give you what those states are. They are Tennessee. Arizona Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, West Virginia. Those are the first states right now. As time goes on and I get a couple of you guys to get the signed up, I will buy all of the other states. Right. So if you have a state that you want me to get in and you want to sign up, let me know, send me a message. Austin at red pill, revolution.co, and I will get the appointments specifically just so that you can sign up. So let me know, send me an email. All right. So now we're going to go ahead and watch this clip with Jen Pasek singer, really sad, emotional goodbye, to all the people who have been ridiculing her and backing her into a corner on every single topic without her ever answering a single question as to what this administration absolutely actually believes. So here is her sad. I last briefing and it is Brian. And I wanted to start with a series of thank yous. I promised myself I wasn't gonna get emotional. Okay. Thank you. I want to say thank you to the president and the first lady. They entrusted me in serving this role for the last 15 months. And I talked about this a little bit before, but during my first conversation with them, which was in November of 2020 after the election I was very nervous when I went to see them in Delaware. And really what we talked about for the majority of our conversation was the, the, the importance of returning integrity, respect and civility to the white house. The small sliver of, of my job here in, in engaging with all of you that doesn't not mean that we haven't let our Irish side show mine and the presidents as well from time to time. I recognize that, but on my best days, and as I look back I hope I followed the example of integrity. That they have set for all of us and do set for all of us every day. And I'm incredibly grateful to them. I have, I'm not going to get everyone here, but I want to thank there's a Biden family that has extended and expanded far beyond the Biden named family. And that includes people who have worked with the president and for the president for many years, Ron Anita, Bruce, Cedric, Kate, Jodie, Donald, and machete, Susan DCE, Jake, Evan, Annie Elizabeth Alexander. There's so many others. And the reason I mention them is because part of my job or that anyone's job in this role is to represent and talk about the policies of in the work of any administration. They have integrity, grit, commitment to trying, even on the hardest days and worst days to make the world better for the American people. And I am very grateful to them. Now I'm not going to cry about the press team. Okay. Thank you to the prestige. Many of them are here. Some of them are not here because they're taking much needed days off. It has nothing to do with me personally. I promise. But. You all know a lot of them, for those who don't know them they are incredibly tough, smart, hardworking, and deeply, deeply good human beings, deeply good public servants. And you know, people always ask me and I'm sure you guys get asked this too about whether Washington is rotten. You know, whether everybody is corrupt here and you know, nothing good happens. And we all argue with each other. And I having done this job believe the opposite is true because I have worked with and engaged with all of these incredible people across the administration and this amazing. Many of whom are here that I get to work with every day. And I S, as I said about Korean last week these people are already the stars of the team, but they're going to be shining stars in the future and I'll miss them a lot. Okay. Whew. I promised myself I was going to keep it together. I'm not, this is the last part of this. I want to thank all of you in this room. You have challenged me. You have pushed me. You have to baited me. And at times we have disagreed that is democracy in action. That is it working without accountability, without debate, government is not as strong and you all play an incredibly pivotal role. Thank you for what, without accountability, without debate, democracy will not live. And that is why we silence all of our enemies and we make sure they cannot speak on any platform without being silenced, because we don't have a legitimate argument. Okay. I promised myself I wouldn't cry. It's unbelievable that she wasn't sit up there and say, politicians are not corrupt. That she believes in a free speech debate based democracy. Like, you know, you don't Jen. No, you don't. You wish every single one, all the Peter doosies of the world were silenced and you never had to speak to them again. That is your one wish. And we all know it. You can't backpedal now about showing your Irish side. Like I said, it's funny to me how none of there's never a positive spin on being Irish. According to this to this administration, every time being Irish has been brought up has been a negative connotation. So to me, it's, it's so disingenuous her sitting up there about to be in tears over seven figure contract with MSNBC. I promise I'm done with the. I'm quite good at it though. You know, you gotta, you gotta admit, I could definitely be. I posted this today on truth social. So I would like to formally send in my application for white house press secretary. If all I have to do is lie to the people I represent. All I have to do is never answer a single question that I'm asked directly. I would. And then at the end of it, I get a seven figure contract. I'm, I'm fairly confident I could complete that job very well, but we all know I couldn't lie like that. And we all know I'm not fit to be in a political position where all I have to spout is baseless arguments and the, the silencing of every person that I ever come in, contact being the only argument that I properly can follow through on. So anyways, I guess I won't be the white house press secretary after all, but I think the interesting conversation here is, is why MSN. Right. Why is she able to seamlessly move from white house, press secretary into a news media position so easily. And not only that, but a news media position where she's making millions of dollars, millions of dollars. And so I did a little digging here. I tried to figure out, you know, why with the head scratch, why would MSNBC offer her a seven figure contract? And it has nothing to do with her ability to speak has nothing to do. Her ability to bring a new taste and flavor to MSNBC and know, you know, what it has to do with is all of the money that was shoveled in to the white house, where she defended all the bullshit for these large corporations, that own MSNBC. It has nothing to do with her ability to speak, because we all know she can't answer a single question directly. What we do know is that the people who own MSNBC is BlackRock and Vanguard. Those are the two biggest corporations in the following that here I'll even pull up this little article for us surrounding who actually I had it up, I guess maybe up here it is. All right. So there's this article that I heard is the MSNBC is not your friend follow the money. That was a fairly long read. So I'm going to skip through a little bit of it, but I do think it's quite interesting. Now they have this little infographic and it shows who owns. Okay. And then it goes on to show who owns MSNBC. So here are the largest, so-so the top institutional shareholders of Comcast, Comcast owns MSNBC. So the question is who owns Comcast, right? Who are the biggest shareholders in Comcast? Now these names might be familiar because they own everything and including you, right. So here are the names, van guard Vanguard. Okay. Vanguard's the number one stakeholder in Comcast. BlackRock is the second largest stakeholder in Comcast, which owns MSNBC. Okay. So it goes on to show that other organizations is JP Morgan chase. Hm. Interesting bank of America. Interesting. Now let's go find out who owns a portion, right? Let's see what BlackRock and Vanguard stake is in Pfizer percentage. All right. Now, forgive me. I don't have a Joe Rogan, young Jamie here. I'm Googling everything on my behalf. So I have to kind of keep it flowing while we're going. It didn't have that one plan. So this says BlackRock's Madonna and Pfizer shares increased by more than 2.5 billion in the week after the announcement of the Omicron variant. Okay. Vanguard group made a $2.7 billion up from 1 billion with Madonna and 1.7 billion from Pfizer. The shocking, shocking amount of money that Vanguard and BlackRock actually controls a large stake of that goes into these pharmaceutical companies who she has been shoving down your throat, shoving down your throat, your children's throat, your pregnant wife's throat, you your throat, so that you get their products. That's what she's been doing. She's been playing this game where she's been paddling, the disinformation campaigns of everybody who opposes Pfizer and BlackRock and Vanguard and all of these corporations that own these entities with the idea that eventually it just give it a year. Jen, just give it a year. I need you to argue with Peter Doocy for one year, and we'll give you a multimillion dollar contract with one of our organizations. Oh. And you probably don't even have to show your face very often for it. Quid pro quo. It's how it all works. All of these organizations own these smaller organizations and they put these people into positions or they incentivize them to give the information that they want and silence the opposing viewpoints to the point where they can't even speak in a conversation with these individuals all while on the backs of her farewell speech, she's going to come and tell us that she believes in a fair democracy where debate leads the way. Fuck you. Fuck you, Vanguard. Fuck you BlackRock. Fuck you, Jen.  all of you. You grow. Like, Ugh, disgusting. Like all of this shit. If you're not seeing this yet, how all of this is intertwined? Every little piece of it, right? Vanguard has a big stake in Pfizer. They have a big stake in Comcast. They have a big stake. They funded the Oscars. They put all of this money into all of these little spider webs of disgusting, gross NIS so that they can push their products in jab you in the side of your fucking body with an experimental drug, shut you down in your home, shut down your business. So you can't even make money all for profit, all for profit. And now I have an idea, right? I have this idea about corporations and I've got to a point where, like I was a very pro. Conglomerate, you know, like I had this idea that like, you know, generally corporations we're good right now. I have an idea that kind of counter poses that, and if you don't know my political viewpoints, I'm kind of like a mixture between a conservative, libertarian hippie, like, oh, I guess that's the best way to describe me as like a conservative, libertarian ish hippie ask you know, I, that's kind of the mixture that I have and, and I, and then some social issues like access to drugs and, and the way that you go about, you know, legalizing certain drugs in, in, in some certain social programs, you know, I, I have some left leaning social positions, but for the most part, I'm a conservative ish, libertarian ish hippie. I believe that the government should probably only have their hands in, in very little places in, mostly in, in the portions, which have to do with crime and have to do with protecting our. Those are probably where I draw the line for the most part. And even that kind of counter counters, the, the hippie portion of me, which is the fact that, you know, the war machine and all of the war pigs out there siphoning money off the backs of the blood of our children, going to war on their behalf for reasons we'll never actually fully know. I dunno, there's my, there's my political beliefs. If you had to put it in a box and I guess, well, I guess the biggest thing is constitutionalist too. So I'm a conservative ish libertarian this. Hippy constitutionalist. If I had to put it all in the box. All right. There's there. I put it all on the table for you guys. That's where I'm at. All right. So, I don't know how we got there, I guess BlackRock Vanguard. Okay. So, so the idea to me is with corporations is that they're this, this, this organism, right? When, when, when a company goes from being held and operated by a singular individual as a CEO that runs it, that has a vision for where the company's going and the morality behind that individual directs the morality of that company. Okay. Now, when you take away the individual, when, when you only have shareholders, stockholders, whose only investment in that company has nothing to do with the morality and its impact on the world. It only has to do on their profitability. Okay. So I have this idea that the, the, the organism that is a corporation thrives off of only profit. Once it's been turned into a public company, once there are shareholders, once there are stockholders, once there's board members and there's a CEO who's positioned only there to, to, to maintain profitability for the organization. Okay. Now, to me, everything that comes from that organization, that organism that lives in breathes in the only way it survives is off of profit, that is it's food. That is its consciousness. That is its morality is all based on profit and Vanguard and BlackRock are the worst and the worst and the worst of them. And so the only thing that they do is they, they literally they literally deteriorate countries. They, they profit off the backs of the poor and the unintelligent in, in the, the imposed political authoritarianism that was vaccines and lockdowns and all this shit that they pushed. It all comes down to profitability, right? They found these ways to move and shift the entire world, the entire world. Now, if you don't think the origins of this, this of this sickness was not man-made to this point where you see how much profit has been made, how much billions, how, what percentage the billionaires of the world have made. They've literally almost doubled their profits. They've almost doubled their, their net worth during the same time that the, the, the use in the eyes and the Veys and the thems of the world lost everything. They lost their businesses. They lost their personal bodily sovereignty. They lost, they lost everything. And, and, and these corporations are profiting off of the back of this. And so they positioned people like Jen  to bring it around, to circle back. They positioned the gen Pesach is of the world. The Joe Biden's, the Camila Harris is in a position where they have either blackmail. They have either incentives, incentivize incentives. They position them with incentives like this, where they say, Hey, Jen, if you push the narratives that we give you and you don't speak up about these things that are coming up from these opposing viewpoints, then we'll make sure you and your family are taken care of forever. Now, the only thing, and this is selling your soul to the devil, it's literally selling your soul to the devil, because that is the devil. The devil is the organism, the organism that is, is only living and breathing off of profitability. Right? So, so that is who we're dealing with here. And, and, and that is who, you know, they're, they're. They're literally only P putting themselves in a position where they can profit off of these conversations. So if you own the press secretary, you own every legitimate piece of, of, of truth, right? You own truth, especially when they come out with a disinformation governance board, like you own the truth because that individual gets to speak about every topic and tell the entire world what the president believes. Even though he's a blubbering dementia written elderly, like he should be in an old folks home. We know this, that all of us know this, but they positioned her there. So she could be the talking mouth of BlackRock and Vanguard. And then eventually they give her a multi-million dollar contract with MSNBC owned by Comcast, which is owned by Vanguard and owned by BlackRock. There you go. There's the fucking pieces to the puzzle. And this is, this is everywhere. It's not just in the white house. It's an academic. It's not just an academia it's in your schools. Like it's, it's in the public eye. It's in, it's in our local state governments. It's, it's everywhere. It's in the CEOs of conglomerate organizations. It's in the CEOs of the apples and the Facebooks and the everywhere everywhere has to do with this, this, this like gross organism that only it only has the morality that is compass based on profitability and profitability is always based on the idea that you're siphoning that money from somewhere. And who are you siphoning that money from? You're siphoning that money from the individuals who you can, who you can take, what little they have from their 401ks. As we see the stock markets plummeting over the last, I don't know, month and a half all while gas prices are skyrocketing, gas prices are sky SkyRide. Housing costs are skyrocketing APR percentages. Your, your, your percentage on your loans are skyrocketing. Everything is skyrocketing. Meanwhile, inflation is up food costs are up and in your 401ks down. And Jenn Pesach is getting a multi-million dollar deal with Vanguard through MSNBC so that she can peddle their little lies to you so that they can profit and siphon your money away from you. It's sickening. It's, it's, it's gross, it's sickening. It's frustrating. And it pumps a lot of disbelief in our government government for me. And I think that's happening all over the country. And when you start to connect these dots and you start to see that the Harvard professors get moved into the Pfizer CEOs and the Pfizer CEOs get moved into. The head of the DIH and then how did the DIH gets moved into the head of the NIH who gets moved back to a Harvard position in, in moves into the, the head of the newest next whatever company they can find for them. It all is a circle of disgusting newness. All right. So on the backs of that conversation, let's go ahead and look at the actual new press secretary. I think let's go ahead and get see if we can get a feel for who she is. And maybe if she'll be better, I don't know. Maybe she'll be better than Jen. Maybe she'll answer questions. I hope she does. I think that's what our country needs. If our president's an idiot and doesn't know how to finish a sentence. If our vice-president can't talk herself out of a cardboard box without repeating herself 10 times, maybe this woman can do it. So let's see what she has to say in her opening statements about her newest position. Right. I just want to say a few words about how honored I am to be here with all of you today. In this role, in this room, standing behind this podium, I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a black gate immigrant woman. The first of all, three of those to hold this position, I would not be here today. If it were not for generations of barriers, barrier breaking people before me, I stand on their shoulders. If, if it were not for generations of barrier, barrier, breaking people before me, I would not be here. But I benefit from their sacrifices. I have learned from their expects excellence, and I am forever grateful to them. Representation does matter. You hear us, you hear us say this often in this administration and no one understands this better than presence. Which is why his administration is not only the most diverse in history. It is filled with barrier breaking women and men from the vice-president to the cabinet secretaries to his Supreme court nominee to senior staff throughout this administration. When I did my first briefing as principal. Okay. That's enough. So we know exactly how she opened. That was, I am the first black gay immigrant to ever have this position. Okay. So maybe you should start with your qualifications, not your skin color, who your sexual preferences are for in a bedroom setting and your immigration status. If that's how you start your opening sentence of your press secretary career, and then continuing it with representation matters. I only have this position because of these three things. I don't know, that's down the good start. I don't know if that's the only reason that she's in the office. It's kind of sounds like it from that statement, right. Maybe you should lead with the fact that here's your education, here's your background. Here's what I believe in, you know, whatever this is, you know, maybe the opening statement shouldn't be. Racial divide, sexuality and immigration status. I don't know who am I? Just a guy, but that, to me says a lot about where this is going to go. Now to me, I don't know. It's, it's, it's just, it's, it's crazy to me that this is going to be the person who is who's following up on gen Pataki and we know why they did this right there. They're like insulating themselves from criticism. They're like, oh shit, we shouldn't have put the red headed white girl in there. We, we gotta, we gotta put, you know, a gay black immigrant in there to, to so that we can't be questioned, but so harshly by Peter Doocy without him being a racist homophobe. And it seems to me like it's insulation against Peter Doocy. So that now he has to tread a little bit later so that the, and when he does not, he's going to be severely lashed by the left for, for not treading lightly with, with the minority crowd. So here is her take on the baby formula, short his conversation, and then we'll dive into that. And start that, that topic here. So here it is. Go ahead. I was on a separate topic. The president told my colleague Jeremy diamond on Friday when he asked that the administration should have acted sooner on baby formula shortage. If we'd been better mind readers, I guess we could have this doesn't seem like a situation that would have required mind reading. As you know, the recall state back to February, I believe political reported months ago that the FDA was forced warned about the suspected bacteria issue as early as September. Are there any specific actions that this administration took meetings, phone calls of briefings in February or any earlier to begin addressing this potential shortage of, I mean, you've heard us talk about this. You've seen my colleagues on, on. Talking about what we have done since you know, since February we've been, we've been working on this 24 7, but I do want to give you a little bit of an update on where we are. So getting more safe and fit formula onto shelves across the country is one of the president's top priorities, right? This is something that he is focusing on very acutely. And again, I said 24 7, we have been working on this since we have since we learned about this back in February, it's important to remember this shortage exists because Abbott closed the facility closed the facility because of safety concerns from the FDA, the FDA is working closely with avid to bring the facility back online safely. That's the. All of the us, all of the all of the, you knows all of the, and, and this entire time she's looking at a piece of paper. She's literally looking at what she should be saying. If you watch the press secretary, they flip, flip, flip, flip, they find the topic, they look at their response and then they try to give some eye contact. Every, I dunno, know every few periods that they find themselves in. They try to give some eye contact, a little bit of hand motion really goes a long way. And she, she has finds herself even with a piece of paper in front of her. I'm going completely off the cuff. So you'll probably hear some ums. You probably hear some Oz, you know, is kind of a part of my, my vernacular, right. Is a part, you know, there's all these filler words that I get here, but I'm completely just talking with you guys. Like we're sitting at the bar, right? Like I'm not sitting there with a pen and a pad and a notepad, and I'm also not paid an exorbitant amount of money to speak to the entire general public on behalf of the most. The most powerful individuals in the world and it just is, it's so crazy to me to continue that original conversation from before. Well, let, let's continue and see what she says about this baby formula shortage. Yeah. Safely. We want to make sure that this is done in a safe way. We are very, we are very close to having a path forward to safely reopening of the facility. We can, you can expect a an announcement from FDA later today on that, that we'll go into more details. We're also moving as quickly as possible to safely bring in additional product from other countries as soon as today. We will be able to make an announcement on the expedited process to bring additional safe conduct product to the American stores, shell, to American store shelves. And throughout the weekend we've been working closely with manufacturers and retailers to identify transportation and logistical needs to increase the amount and spread of FDA approved formula, being shipped into the country and ensure that formula is quickly moving from factories to retailers. The president understands he gets this. He gets how stressful it is for parents trying to feed their children, which is why we're, we're leaving no stone unturned to make more safe formula available. If parents need help finding formula I encourage them to consult their pediatrician or visit HHS gov Ford slash formula. But we have been working on this from the, from, from February, our, our administration has. Just curious, whether there are specific meetings, briefings, you know, phone calls and you can point us to, I don't have anything specific for you to point to I'm I'm, I'm happy to, to go back and get that, you know, make sure that we are fully transparent on what we've been doing, but this has been this is an important you know, this is an important priority a top priority for the president. He's his team has been working overtime to make sure that we get formula back on the shelves and we want to do this in a safe way. And I, and again, we cannot forget how we got here. Abbott calls a facility because of safety concerns from the FDA. The FDA wanted to make sure that we formerly was going out in a safe way. And that is the job of the FDA. And that is the job of this administration as well, very quickly on added a secretary of the Sarah said today, in terms of when things will be back to normal, that. All right. I really don't care about the rest of that. The point of that is there's this there's a baby formula shortage, and they want everybody to be terrified about this baby formula shortage. And they called it before the shelves were empty. And then in the midst of the baby formula shortage, the, they shut down two of the biggest plants in the world for baby formula, which is Abbott pharmaceuticals. Now, if you don't know anything about baby formula and most people don't, I really haven't done much research into this until it was an interesting topic for me when I had children. And when my wife kind of came to me, you know, it didn't really come to me, but just had the ongoing conversations about breastfeeding and, and, and the amazingness that is breastfeeding. So let's, let's jump into this conversation a little bit. They are trying to inflate this sense of scarcity. The sense of you should be fearful. And everybody that you know, that has children should be fearful, right? They, they need to keep you in a fearful state. If it's. COVID it's Ukraine and Russia. And if it's not Ukrainian Russia, it's food shortages. And if it's not food shortages, when that's not working enough, it's baby formula shortages. And if it's not baby formula shortages, this is whatever the next thing is going to be. There's always going to be that next fear mongering step for these companies. Now, I bet you, if we go and look at who has a large stake in these Abbott pharmaceuticals in Nestle in all of these large corporations that produce baby formula, I think we probably have some familiar names in there just like we were discussing earlier. So baby formula, baby formula was formulated back in 1846. I believe by a chemist. Now the original idea with baby formula, a lot of times you had to get a prescription for it up until I don't know. I don't know the year, but you had to get a prescription for baby formula. The idea was to be supplementing your child's nutritional intake. So. What would I teach my children about nutrition is usually if it doesn't, if it's not made by mother nature, if there's all the 46 ingredients, like my daughter asked me, what's in, she, she was eating the thing of chicken biscuits and she's like, well, well, how do they make, what, what, how are chicken biscuits made? And I read her the 45 ingredients that were on the back of chicken baskets. None of which was chicken and none of which was biscuits. So it's the same thing with baby formula is, is they had to, for, for thousands of years, 20, for whatever, for whatever history you follow of how long the human population has been around Neanderthals whatever osteopathic, whatever personal hood humanoid individual you've had, baby formulas been around for less than 200 years. Less than two, 180 years, this has been around. And all of a sudden it's like the gold standard for nutrition, for our children, even though every little bit of what your child needs is built in to the mother, it's truly incredible. The miracle that is a woman. And, and we're seeing this being stripped from them by saying, men can get pregnant and, oh, you don't need to breastfeed because the, the, the, the trans men who are pregnant, wouldn't even have that ability anyways, you know, it's like, they're, they're trying to D they're trying to take away the super powers that is femininity and, and, and diminish it to. Baby formula and men getting pregnant and bursting people and all this ugly gross what's that show the Handmaid's tale bullshit, like women are our literal superhumans. They have everything your child needs to survive within their own bodies to create, to literally take a. Seed and turn it into a, whatever is the complexity of a human that is more, it's literally an organic 3d printer that, that creates the most unbelievable organism that the, the, the craziest technology that we have today could never duplicate your neurons, your brain, your consciousness, your ability to move your there's. None of that, none of that comes from us. That is, that is the, the mother nature. That is God. That is the universe. That is the rift. We are a reflection of the universe and the women are the most powerful of us. Sorry. Men, women have everything that we need within them. Or within them, sorry, I'm not a woman. I know that's a crazy statement to make these days, but I am not a woman. I can not to birth a child and I do not have Milka ducks. So, all then you're like, I've literally seen my wife do some unbill like my, my son had a baby acne, right? Every baby gets these little bumps on their face and my wife put breast milk on it. It was a little bit gone the next day, the next day it was gone. They got Stein in his eye and breast milk gone, gone. Unbelievable. So this baby formula idea is taking away the power of the woman. And I understand that there's, you know, I don't want this to be like, don't, don't take this as me looking at women who have formula fed their child's in, in like B rating, you are like trying to diminish what you did for your child. You did what you needed to do. And what you were told was right for your child. And oftentimes, maybe that was giving them some pharmaceuticals forty-five ingredient bullshit that. I don't know, but I, I don't want you to take this as me diminishing your decisions and what this, what I'm going to show you here in the articles that I'm going to pull up in the, in the scientific studies I'm going to pull up are going to show you the malicious intent of the marketing behind this machine that is big pharma and, and, and the fact that they, they took it upon themselves to make you believe that your children in you don't have everything that you need within your own household, in your own body to give your child where they need to grow into a healthy individual. Okay. So let's go ahead and let's, let's discuss this shortly. There's actually an interesting, I was listening to this. I posted on. A few things about baby formula. The first thing that came to my mind when baby formula shortage rep is why the fuck are we giving our babies pharmaceutical 45 ingredient, Abbott, pharmaceuticals, Nestle, all of this BS, pharmaceutical crap to our children from birth. And so you start diving deeper into the marketing aspects of these, of these companies, these pharmaceutical companies, and the, the, the, the gross Snus that came with how they pushed this there's this idea of baby formula. Now, now there's two ways that you can do this. You can push this this type of mass movement of, of money. And one way is through fear. And we saw that with COVID and we saw that with the vaccine. And the other way is is, well, I guess there's three there's there's fear. There is addiction. And then there's what's the word I'm looking for? Ease of use it is like taking away the, the difficulties of life, right? Like, so I've watched breastfeeding with my wife and my children, and then I've seen them. It's very difficult. Sometimes there's a lot of things that can come up. A lot of soreness in, in, in some women don't produce enough and, and all of these difficulties that can happen with breastfeeding. And so what the pharmaceutical companies did is said, they said, we are, we have the solution to your difficulty, right? We, we are the ones who solved this problem, not God. Right. I posted on truth. Two is like on the seventh day of, on the seventh day, God had created on the seventh day, God appointed the CEO of Abbott pharmaceuticals because he knew the first six days weren't enough to give them nutrition to the children. So it was like, no, the first six days were correct. There is no seventh day. He rested because he deserved it. Right. Everything that we need is within the body of the individual. And so what we'll see is that it was the, it was the presentation of a solution of, of a, a solution to your problem of that difficulty in breastfeeding is hard, is like, I've, I've watched it, right. I'm not just coming from like, oh, the you're a man. You don't get to discuss this. No, I've seen it. I've seen the difficulties of it. I know what women go through. I I've, I've watched some, some very difficult times that my wife's gone through breastfeeding. She didn't breastfeed all of our children when we were young, when we had our first and, and it wasn't completely, you know, the formula was used in, on all this stuff. So we were, I was a part of that. I'm a I'm in that group. Right? So again, don't, don't take this as me diminishing anybody who decided to do that. So let's go ahead and watch this clip. Joe Rogan discussed it a few days after I discussed it on my. Social account about, you know, the, the evils of the breastfeeding machine. All right. In here it is. I keep hearing there's a formula shortage, which is terrible. The baby formula. Yeah. I saw that recently. How was that? What's going on? What's going on there? I don't know. I mean, how the fuck do you not have enough, baby? I I'm happy. They don't first of all. And I'll tell you, he why please do baby formula. Ain't no good for babies. It's not, not most, most of them are not, but some women can't pump. Right. Right. For whatever reason, their milk ducts. Absolutely. Absolutely. And there's alternative formulas out there. Like there's really good. Some of them are like soy based. I'm like, I don't get your child, but like when you talk about, I don't want to name companies, cause that could get me legal issues, but. The formula that's on the market has a lot of toxic ingredients in it and it ain't good for babies. What, what kind of toxic ingredients? I don't know. I haven't studied this stuff in years, but let people do their own research. Right. And let and let people go. And there's a lot of people that have done this research. Let's see if we could find it, find out what. So the first thing that he says there is that I'm happy that there's a shortage. I'm happy that it brings up this conversation surrounding why women should know that breastfeeding is, is literally the biggest and most unbelievable miracle of life. It's it's it's like right behind actually giving birth to a child. Breastfeeding is right there. The fact that you have all the nutrition in your body, the things that your body's creates, the antibodies that you give your child is unbelievable. And he talks about some of the negative things that are within breastfeeding and within this within the actual Within the actual ingredients of some of these baby formulas. So I did a little bit of research on that and they was like, Hey, let's pull this up. I, he did not do enough research. I did. So here we go. Let's go ahead and talk about some of the ingredients that are actually negative within baby formula. So some of the things that are within baby foremost, I pulled up a few different things. Now, if we go through the, the ingredients, this is from M Enfamil and that's one of the most commonly used baby formulas. Now, here is the ingredients for you guys and I'm going to read them off. Okay. Non-fat milk. Lactose vegetable oil, Palm oil, coconut soy. Hi, Alessa, sunflower oils, whey protein concentrates galactose glass. So charades, poly dextrose, Marta. Sorelli a L peanut oil. Grip the condemn Liam Cohain oil, calcium carbonate, potassium, citrate, pharaohs, sulfate, potassium, chloride, magnesium oxide, sodium chloride, zinc, sulfate culprit, sulfate, magnesium, sulfate, potassium, oxide, Sophia sodium, Selah, date, soy lecithin, Coleen chloride sorbic acid. And  calcium. Okay. That's half the list that you get the point. Okay. Now what I did is I took some of those ingredients and tried to figure out what the hell they are and what some of the side effects of those are. And here's some of my research. So one of those things that I went over was galactic tool ego, no saccharine. Okay. Now, one of the things that, that ingredient specifically causes auto immune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or other conditions galacto oligosaccharides might cause the immune system to become more active. This might increase the symptoms of auto immune disorders and diseases. If you have an autoimmune disease or condition, it's best to avoid this medicine until more is known. Now, the next thing is poly dextrose. Poly dextro says for pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough available information to know if poly dextrose is safe to use as a medicine when pregnant or breastfeeding, stay on the safe side and stick to food amounts. Children, poly dextrose is possibly safe for them. When added to formula at concentrates of 2.4 grams per liter, a formula, it is also possibly safe for children four to eight years old at doses of four grams daily. Okay. I like that possibly safe. Just, just a nice legal term to say we have no idea what we're doing. Just shove it down your kid's throat and don't Sue us. And here's how you can't because we said it's possibly safe. Soy soy is co commonly consumed in foods. However, soy is possibly unsafe when used in larger amounts found in medicine. And when pregnant, you know, maybe you shouldn't do it when you're pregnant, but you should definitely shove concentrated amounts of this stuff into your child's body directly. Okay. So here are some of the things, so he's commonly consumed talks about breastfeeding. There isn't enough reliable information to know if it is safe to consume in large amounts. And then it says that soy is possibly unsafe when used as an alternative to cow's milk and children who are allergic to cow's milk. Oh, that makes sense. But it also shows that there's a relation to breast. There is a relation to underactive thyroids, kidney failure, kidney stones, milk allergies, and bladder cancer all from soy. And that's within your baby's formula. Morda Barela Alpina oil. Now what this is, is an extracted oil that comes from mushrooms and other like algae and, and they take this to try and basically super impose something called DH a and DHA is, is a Large portion of what's positive for your child. One of the, one of the many things that's positive for your child from breast milk. And they tried to duplicate that by putting it from this, you know, cause they can't actually do it any other way because the miracle of life and the miracle of a woman's body, they took algae and they took mushrooms and extracted it through this oil solvent. And so it says that and this was a study that I, I researched about this mortar mortar irrele L peanut oil, which showed that rats had an organ weight determinations carried out which showed statistically significant differences in absolute liver weights in males, relative brain lung, and adrenal weight weights in females, as well as absolute and relative spleen weights in females. So there was a variation in the Oregon weights based on just this one specific product alone. Okay. That's one thing. That's just one thing. Okay. There's, there's three pieces of the 45 ingredients that we just talked about. Okay. Now let's go ahead and continue this Joe Rogan clip. I think it's important to give it its due. Cause they go over some, some pretty good stuff here. Let me go ahead and we'll continue that conversation right now. Bad about baby formula, pull up the ingredients. Just Google. What's bad about baby formula. Okay. You might have to use, it might be an alternative that would give you a bad what'd you say bad blog results. Like that's going to give you oh, goofy shit that people are trying to sell stuff. How about toxic ingredients in baby formula that might, that might work? What are you doing over there? Jimmy Breslin with that microphone. But I don't know. It's definitely better to have breast milk. Yes. Yes. I think for some women that's an impossibility. Right? So then maybe you got to have. That formula. Right. But I think a lot of women also can't afford the breast milk because breast milk is expensive. You know, if you can't nurse, but you mean buying breasts. Yeah. It's very expensive. Yeah. That stuff is very expensive. So it's hard to get alternatives, blah, blah, blah. And the thing is that there are people that are making babies. There's so many times I'm going, I want to interject on this. So, so, so here's the position that I held when it comes to the Roe V Wade position. You know, I do talk about pro choice is like, you know, I'm pro choice. I believe in adoption. I believe in parenthood. I believe in contraception. I believe in abstinence, you have many choices. One of those choices should not be having double. Right. Okay. There's one position to hold right now. My belief system, when it comes to breastfeeding is that there are other options. The only other option is not giving your child a 45 ingredient, pharmaceutical powder made by Abbott pharmaceuticals, right? There is other options. And we're, we're just, just by closing your eyes and not looking at them doesn't mean they don't exist. Right. There's literally a M

Ramadan in 2022 is not only a time of fasting, prayer and reflection. Today's generation of Muslims decorate for Ramadan, put up Ramadan trees and exchange presents. It's a joyous time of family togetherness and celebration. Talha and Rahama Alvi have created a children's book, The Ramadan Tree, that demystifies Ramadan and Islamic culture for kids, with adults along for the ride. Talha did most of the writing while Rahama, a graphic artist, did the many gorgeous illustrations. She's also a public school art teacher and encountered questions about Ramadan from her students.  Both are passionate about spreading the word that Muslim families are part of our community and their cultural and religious traditions are part of what Jimmy Breslin called "the great melting pot."Support the show

1966 Texans dead--RIP--from COVID-19 with >85000 cases in Texas, >2 million cases in USA w/ 117031 PREVENTABLE deaths. God help us all. David Corn wrote such an excellent article in Mother Jones magazine--detailing the "Graft, grift, & greed" of the reality TV show host parading as POTUS#45 & some of his fellow greedheads/cohorts/co-criminals--that your podcaster was compelled to read it into episode 78. "Happy listening". All kidding aside. It's the bottom of the bottom, the epitome of what Jimmy Breslin summarized as "craps games in Queens", what he called Trump's operations before he moved out of NYC, what a fiction writer couldn't imagine or paint a picture of such a bottom dweller.

Jarett Liotta is our local incarnation of Jimmy Breslin, Robert Mapplethorpe and Martin Scorcese. A smart, funny creative guy who makes feature films on a shoe string, and sometimes on a camera.

At a time when journalism is under siege when the attacks sometimes result in too much caution when the goal of politicians is to attack journalist like they are working the refs, it’s worth thinking about times when we’ve seen full-throated, muscular and sometimes participatory journalism. The kind practiced by the likes of Jimmy Breslin, or H.L. Menken, George Plimpton, Truman Capote, Norman Mailer or Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson had the opportunity to be present for many world-changing moments. How he saw them, and how he reported them, may have shaped a generation of readers and it may still be in the very DNA of how we consume news today. Timothy Denevi captures the zeitgeist of the Thompson moment in Freak Kingdom: Hunter S. Thompson's Manic Ten-Year Crusade Against American Fascism My conversation with Tim Denevi:

At first glance you might think they’d just stepped out of a time machine… Clad in denim and bellowing in three-part harmony, Thunder Bay ON’s Greenbank produce a sound that appears to come straight out of Laurel Canyon circa 1968. Equipped with smiling faces, socially conscious lyrics and some great stories from the road, these northern troubadours deliver a performance you won’t want to miss! Featuring mainstays Jimmy Breslin (guitar, vocals) and Craig Smyth (keyboards, vocals) with support from Jean Paul De Roover, and Alex Cummins and Chad Kirvan (when the gig calls for a five piece), they put on a superb live show. Jimmy, Craig and Jean-Paul joined us in the Folk Roots Radio mobile studio at the 2016 Folk Music Ontario conference for a fun conversation about their music, and a few live tunes. Greenbank released their first long player “Money Machine” in 2015. They are now working on the follow-up, “Glory Days”. For more information, visit http://greenbankband.com.

Chuck Berry, Rock and Roll legend, just arrived in the Next World. He put on a spontaneous mini-concert for the crowd that greeted him and made a major announcement. We'll tell you what it was. Long time veteran of the New York City newspaper wars, reporter Jimmy Breslin, is now a resident of the Afterlife. It seems that the beer-drinking, cigar-smoking Breslin is ready to get back on the best in his new existence. He's already got his eye on a prospective employer. It's a name you may recognize. Edith Tolson, the former J. Edgar Hoover, has yet another show biz offer dangling in front of her. With her new courtroom show and her recurring spot on "The Girls," will Edith have time for a third job? Lastly, we have some hot rumors about what may be happening soon to what was known as Trump City and they concern someone who was involved with the community in the past. Wait til you hear who it is and what they apparently have planned for the troubled town.

Although this storied NY neighborhood has seen significant gentrification, there are still landmarks of its grittier past, if you know where to look.

For more than 25 years as a reporter with the Philadelphia Inquirer George Anastasia has made tracking the American Mafia his regular beat, writing investigates pieces, profiles and slices of underworld life. Mobfiles is a compilation of his best work -- stories told from street level and often based on insights and access provided by investigators, prosecutors and the mobsters themselves. Mobfiles provides the true stories around which classics like The Godfather and The Sopranos have been built. George Anastasia, a veteran reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, is the grandson of Sicilian immigrants who settle in South Philadelphia. He is the author of five books of nonfiction, including Blood and Honor, which Jimmy Breslin called the "best gangster book ever written." He has won many awards for investigative journalism and magazine writing.

The Friedkin Connection (Harper) With such seminal movies as The Exorcist and The French Connection, Academy Award–winning director William Friedkin earned his place in the pantheon of great filmmakers. A maverick from the start, Friedkin joined other young directors such as Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich in ushering in Hollywood's second Golden Age in the 1970s. His long-awaited memoir, The Friedkin Connection, provides a candid portrait of an extraordinary life and career, offers a window into the rarified world of Hollywood and reveals all of the decisions—technical, artistic, and business—he confronted in crafting his distinctive and landmark films. The Friedkin Connection takes readers on a journey through the numerous chance encounters and unplanned occurrences that led a young man from a poor urban neighborhood to success in one of the most competitive industries and art forms in the world. With keen wit and intellect, Friedkin proves as gifted a storyteller on the page as he is on the screen, taking readers from the streets of Chicago to the executive suites of Hollywood, from star-studded movie sets to the precision of the editing room. Readers get delicious behind-the-scenes accounts of the making of all of Friedkin's film, from the casting of The French Connection (Friedkin considered everyone from Jackie Gleason to journalist Jimmy Breslin for the role of Popeye, before settling on Gene Hackman) and the painstaking process of filming the famous chase scene on the subway and on the streets of New York City, to the dramas that ensued during the filming of The Exorcist (how Friedkin happened upon the now-famous “Tubular Bells” score after firing two composers; how Mercedes McCambridge went about creating the voice of the demon—and how she probably ruined Linda Blair's chances at winning the Oscar). These accounts read like page-turners, but they also reveal a filmmaker at the height of his craft, a true artist who learned as he went along and wasn't afraid of taking risks. Still an influential filmmaker—his acclaimed 2011 movie, Killer Joe, starred Matthew McConaughey—William Friedkin has much to say about the world of movie making and his place in it. As fast-paced and thrilling as his acclaimed movies, The Friedkin Connection is a wonderfully cinematic look at an artist and an industry that has transformed who we are—and how we see ourselves. “Friedkin's book does the unthinkable: It relates the behind-the-scenes stories of his triumphs like The French Connection andThe Exorcist, but also sees Friedkin take responsibility (brutally so) for his wrong calls, like Sorcerer and Cruising. In doing so, he captures the gut-wrenching shifts of a filmmaker's life — the bizarre whipsaw from success to disaster.” —Peter Bart, Variety “Enthralling. . . . Hardcore film geeks will salivate over this time capsule from a grateful and still-brilliant legend.” —Booklist “For aspiring directors, a glimpse into the school of hard knocks, but there's plenty of good stuff, lean and well-written, for civilian film fans, too.” —Kirkus Reviews

DESCARGAAsesinaba porque un perro poseído se lo decía, según una declaración que luego cambió. Así es el Hijo de Sam, un tipo que pegabó tiros en Nueva York entre 1976 y 1977 y que ahora oficia misas en la cárcel. Escucha aquí su historia.No olvidéis que podéis suscribiros a este podcast mediante iTunes y escribirnos lo que queráis a nuestro e-mail.Esta es la carta que Berkowitz envió al capitán Joseph Borrelli, del NYPD:I am deeply hurt by your calling me a women hater. I am not. But I am a monster. I am the "Son of Sam." I am a little "brat". When father Sam gets drunk he gets mean. He beats his family. Sometimes he ties me up to the back of the house. Other times he locks me in the garage. Sam loves to drink blood. "Go out and kill" commands father Sam. Behind our house some rest. Mostly young — raped and slaughtered — their blood drained — just bones now. Papa Sam keeps me locked in the attic, too. I can't get out but I look out the attic window and watch the world go by. I feel like an outsider. I am on a different wave length then everybody else — programmed too kill. However, to stop me you must kill me. Attention all police: Shoot me first — shoot to kill or else. Keep out of my way or you will die! Papa Sam is old now. He needs some blood to preserve his youth. He has had too many heart attacks. Too many heart attacks. "Ugh, me hoot it urts sonny boy." I miss my pretty princess most of all. She's resting in our ladies house but I'll see her soon. I am the "Monster" — "Beelzebub" — the "Chubby Behemouth." I love to hunt. Prowling the streets looking for fair game — tasty meat. The wemon of Queens are z prettyist of all. I must be the water they drink. I live for the hunt — my life. Blood for papa. Mr. Borrelli, sir, I dont want to kill anymore no sir, no more but I must, "honour thy father." I want to make love to the world. I love people. I don't belong on Earth. Return me to yahoos. To the people of Queens, I love you. And I wa want to wish all of you a happy Easter. May God bless you in this life and in the next and for now I say goodbye and goodnight. Police — Let me haunt you with these words; I'll be back! I'll be back! To be interrpreted as — bang, bang, bang, bank, bang — ugh!! Yours in murder Mr. Monster.Y esta la que envió al periodista Jimmy Breslin, del New York Daily News:Hello from the gutters of N.Y.C. which are filled with dog manure, vomit, stale wine, urine and blood. Hello from the sewers of N.Y.C. which swallow up these delicacies when they are washed away by the sweeper trucks. Hello from the cracks in the sidewalks of N.Y.C. and from the ants that dwell in these cracks and feed in the dried blood of the dead that has settled into the cracks. J.B., I'm just dropping you a line to let you know that I appreciate your interest in those recent and horrendous .44 killings. I also want to tell you that I read your column daily and I find it quite informative. Tell me Jim, what will you have for July twenty-ninth? You can forget about me if you like because I don't care for publicity. However you must not forget Donna Lauria and you cannot let the people forget her either. She was a very, very sweet girl but Sam's a thirsty lad and he won't let me stop killing until he gets his fill of blood. Mr. Breslin, sir, don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. No, rather, I am still here. Like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest; anxious to please Sam. I love my work. Now, the void has been filled. Perhaps we shall meet face to face someday or perhaps I will be blown away by cops with smoking .38's. Whatever, if I shall be fortunate enough to meet you I will tell you all about Sam if you like and I will introduce you to him. His name is "Sam the terrible." Not knowing the what the future holds I shall say farewell and I will see you at the next job. Or should I say you will see my handiwork at the next job? Remember Ms. Lauria. Thank you. In their blood and from the gutter "Sam's creation" .44 Here are some names to help you along. Forward them to the inspector for use by N.C.I.C: [sic] "The Duke of Death" "The Wicked King Wicker" "The Twenty Two Disciples of Hell" "John 'Wheaties' – Rapist and Suffocator of Young Girls. PS: Please inform all the detectives working the slaying to remain. P.S: [sic] JB, Please inform all the detectives working the case that I wish them the best of luck. "Keep 'em digging, drive on, think positive, get off your butts, knock on coffins, etc." Upon my capture I promise to buy all the guys working the case a new pair of shoes if I can get up the money.
