Have you ever had a goal that seemed so ambitious that you weren't sure it was achievable? When our minds conceive a dream, we typically try to determine whether it is possible before taking steps to pursue it. However, this may lead to prematurely letting go of dreams that not only make you feel alive and inspired, but that also may in fact be possible with sufficient courage, clarity, and determination.  As a pioneering, combat-proven leader, inspiring speaker, and celebrated author, Colonel Martha McSally is a compelling example of overcoming adversity and fear to achieve extraordinary feats, including becoming the first woman in U.S. history to fly an Air Force fighter jet and command a fighter squadron in combat. Martha deployed six times to the Middle East and Afghanistan, flying 325 combat hours in the A-10 attack plane, for which she earned the Bronze Star and six Air Medals. Her book, “Dare to Fly: Simple Lessons in Never Giving Up,” inspires readers to follow their hearts and live the lives they were meant to live, fully aligned with their divine essence. In Episode 213 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Martha shares incredible stories from her life experiences, as well as the following insights: The importance of getting clear on the vision you have for your future self, embodying it in the present, and taking inspired action toward that vision, rather than getting stuck on how you will achieve it Specific tips for connecting with the true essence of who you are, which can help you identify expansive opportunities that align with your higher calling How to differentiate between the types of goals will enable you to truly expand and grow, versus those that may be rooted in less empowering motivations To learn more about Martha McSally and to sign up for her email list, visit https://marthamcsally.com.  To learn more about The Mindset Game podcast, visit www.TheMindsetGame.com.

Retired Air Force Colonel Martha McSally made history as the first woman in the United States to become a Top Gun fighter pilot. Her impressive military career was marked by incredible achievements, honors and awards, but she also endured harassment, abuse and assault by a senior officer. In this episode, Martha shares her journey of overcoming trauma and adversity by rising above all of her fears, facing them head on, and proving the Air Force wrong. When she was told no she couldn't be a fighter pilot because she was a woman, that ignited a fire in her belly to make it happen. “...They told me, ‘You can't do this because you're a girl, and it is against the law.' I never had been told that in my life….It was like, ‘Nope, I am a fighter pilot and I am going to will this into existence'…I kept the dream in my heart…I wouldn't take ‘No' for an answer. I refused to give up...”Martha was deployed six times to the Middle East, and Afghanistan, flying more than 350 combat hours in an A-10 Warthog and earned the Bronze Star.

Flying an airplane is a challenging activity, even in clear skies and perfect weather… Now imagine you are flying a plane in combat. The enemy on the ground is trying to kill you by shooting down your plane. All while you are trying to save the lives of YOUR TEAM on the ground who are under attack. That's exactly what Martha McSally did as an A-10 fighter pilot in the Air Force.  Martha's life has been spent overcoming things like fear, self-doubt, trauma, adversity, and obstacles.  After arriving at the U.S. Air Force Academy for basic training at 18, she was told that it was against the law for women to become fighter pilots.  So what did she do? She decided that's exactly what she would do and became the first woman in U.S. history to fly a fighter jet in combat!  Plus, she later became the 1st woman in U.S. history to command a fighter squadron….which meant, in combat, she was the first one in and the last one out! She deployed 6 times to the Middle East and Afghanistan, flying 325 combat hours, earning the bronze star and six air metals.  After serving our country for 26 years in the Air Force and retiring as a full Colonel, Martha was elected to Congress. She served 2 terms in the U.S. House of Representative and was appointed to the U.S. Senate after Senator John McCain's passing. As you can imagine, she has had a front row seat, and been an active participant, in shaping the world we live in… always in service to others. Now, Martha continues to serve by sharing her hard-learned life and leadership lessons through keynote speaking, online courses, and beyond.  In this episode, Martha and Cindra talk about the: The ways fear holds you back from your dreams  How you can “Drop the Drag” How to intentionally shape your identity And, she openly shares how she has worked through trauma in her own life to help us understand how we can work through ours.   HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE  LEARN MORE ABOUT THE YOU 3.0 RETREAT MARTHA IS HOSTING MARTHA'S WEEKLY COACHING ON FACEBOOK FOLLOW SIGN UP FOR THE FREE MENTAL BREAKTHROUGH CALL WITH CINDRA'S TEAM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE MENTALLY STRONG INSTITUTE Love the show?

Martha Elizabeth McSally is an American politician and former military pilot (A-10 Warthog). During her 26-year military career, McSally deployed six times to the Middle East and Afghanistan, flying 325 combat hours and earning the Bronze Star and six Air Medals. She served as U.S. Representative for (AZ-R 2nd Congressional District) 2015-2019 proceeded by time as United States Senator (AZ-R) 2019 to 2020. In her speeches, Martha McSally has the ability to take her lessons learned from combat, life, and extreme athletic endeavors and enthusiastically apply them in practical, memorable experiences propelling teams to excellence. Through humor, transparency, emotional connection, and powerful storytelling, she brings the audience into the cockpit, behind the scenes of high-stakes leadership moments in our nation's history, and captures hearts along the way, all while imparting actionable take-aways that can immediately empower individuals and teams. As a commander of her A-10 squadron, she oversaw $500M in assets and $40M in annual resources and was responsible to deploy her unit worldwide with just 24-hours' notice. McSally was deployed to Saudi Arabia on 9/11 and became a key leader in planning and executing initial air operations in Afghanistan. As a Colonel, she was hand-picked as initial cadre to stand up U.S. Africa Command from scratch, building a complex organization with limited time and resources. She then led oversight of all African continent operations, including counterterrorism and disaster relief. This experience built on her expertise in strategic planning, process creation/improvement, knowledge management, logistics, and operations. Colonel McSally is a values-driven trailblazer who demonstrates courage and integrity in her leadership, even when coming at a personal cost. She bravely took on the Pentagon in an 8-year battle to overturn discriminatory policies towards servicewomen deployed to Saudi Arabia—and won. McSally holds a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University's JFK School of Government, . As a continuation of her service to our country and others and commitment to not walk by a problem, she served four years in the U.S. House of Representatives and two years as a U.S. Senator, which is not the focus of her speeches unless asked. (She often quips it was the least interesting thing she has done in her life!)

McSally lives in Tucson, AZ where she enjoys hiking with her rescue Golden Retriever Boomer, running, and paragliding.

AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports on Former Senator Assaulted-McSally.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. CT: LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammy nominations have been announced and SZA leads the way with nine nominations. The R&B star earned record, album and song of the year nominations for her album “SOS” and her hit song “Kill Bill.” The Recording Academy announced the nominations Friday. Phoebe Bridgers and Victoria Monét closely followed with seven nominations apiece. That includes six nominations for Bridgers' band boygenius. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Brandy Clark, Jon Batiste and Jack Antonoff also have six nods each. The 2024 Grammy Awards will air Feb. 4 live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Fans have pushed the Fisher-Price Corn Popper into the National Toy Hall of Fame. It joins baseball cards, Cabbage Patch Kids and NERF foam toys in the class of 2023, announced Friday. The Fisher-Price push toy was voted in by fans as part of the Toy Hall of Fame's 25th anniversary celebration. Baseball cards, Cabbage Patch Kids and NERF toys were chosen in the usual way, with input from a panel of national experts. Each year, the Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York, recognizes a group of toys that have inspired creative play and enjoyed long-lasting popularity. WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Florida has declined for now to postpone former President Donald Trump's classified documents trial. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon pushed back several pretrial deadlines in a ruling Friday but left the May 2024 trial date intact. Trump faces four criminal cases unfolding in different cities as he seeks to reclaim the White House next year. The Florida felony charges accuse the Republican ex-president of illegally retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and hiding them from government investigators. Trump denies wrongdoing. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A man has been arrested in the alleged assault of former U.S. Sen. Martha McSally who says she was molested as she jogged along the Missouri River in Iowa. Council Bluffs police said in a statement that the 25-year-old suspect from Papillion, Nebraska, was spotted by officers in Omaha, Nebraska, at 3:23 a.m. Friday and arrested. Police say the man will be extradited back to Council Bluffs. McSally is a former senator from Arizona. She was in the area for a speaking engagement and was jogging Wednesday morning. She told police a man came up from behind and grabbed and molested her until she fought him off. Police say video surveillance helped lead them to the suspect. MADISON, Wis. (AP) — In Wisconsin, the old fashioned cocktail comes with brandy, not bourbon. Now, state lawmakers have made it somewhat official. A resolution declaring the brandy old fashioned as the official Wisconsin state cocktail cleared the state Assembly on a bipartisan voice vote. It's a resolution, not a bill, so even if it also clears the Senate, the brandy old fashioned won't make it onto the list of other official state symbols that include milk as the official beverage, kringle as the official pastry, and corn as the official grain. For the unfamiliar, the old fashioned cocktail in just about every place other than Wisconsin is traditionally made with a whiskey, like bourbon, sugar and bitters. NEW YORK (AP) — The proportion of U.S. kindergartners exempted from school attendance vaccination requirements has hit its highest level ever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday released a report detailing the trends. Nationally, 3% of kindergartners got exemptions. Hawaii saw the largest jump, with the statistic nearly doubling from the year before. Idaho was highest overall, with 12%. Experts say more parents are questioning routine childhood vaccinations that they used to automatically accept. It's an effect of the political schism that emerged during the pandemic around COVID-19 vaccines. It also raises the chances of outbreaks of measles, polio and other diseases. MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Justice says Alabama cannot use conspiracy laws to prosecute people and groups who help women leave the state to obtain an abortion. The department filed a statement of interest in consolidated lawsuits brought by an abortion fund and others against Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. Marshall has suggested his office would “look at” groups who provide abortion assistance. Alabama bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape and incest. The only exemption is if a pregnancy seriously threatens the pregnant patient's health. Marshall's office said he is prepared to defend state law. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

Former Arizona U.S. Senator Martha McSally says she was sexually assaulted while running yesterday. In a video on Instagram she detailed the incident, saying she chose to fight instead of run. 

The courage that former U.S. Sen. Martha McSally displayed during and after a sexual assault is something Jim Sharpe hopes his girls emulate — with one notable exception.

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show has overcome incredible obstacles in her life to achieve some truly remarkable things. This guest boasts a 26-year military career, she served 4 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and 2 years as a U.S. Senator. Colonel Martha McSally is a pioneering combat-proven leader, inspiring speaker, and celebrated author. Growing up in Rhode Island, Martha was the youngest of 5 children and grew up in a humble household. However, losing her father at the age of 12 altered her life dramatically. “It shifted the trajectory of my life in profound ways,” Martha tells me, “It can be a tough mantel to carry and can sometimes be taken too far.” In Martha's pursuit to make her father proud, she found herself at the doorstep of the U.S. military. While in basic training, the door to her future presented itself. “I thought I was going to be a doctor. I had zero desire to be a pilot but I got there and found out it was against the law for women to be fighter pilots.” Martha put it simply, “It just pissed me off”. From there, Martha became the 1st woman in U.S. history to fly a fighter jet in combat and command a fighter squadron in combat. She has flown 325 combat hours, earning the Bronze Star and six Air Medals for her service. As we continued our conversation, Martha tells me plainly, “Every failure, every tragedy, every diagnosis, all of it is an opportunity for growth.”

Stolen Republic: Ron Paul WON Arizona in 2012..!! That's just one example...DEMAND DANIEL is the call that inspired so many of us Arizonans in the summer of 2020 to get out and Vote for a REAL Human Being who stood to lose more than he would ever gain by serving the People. I, and many others showed up and voted for Daniel McCarthy for Special Senate Elections. It was between him and Trump's anointed-one, Martha McSally. Prior to running himself, Mr McCarthy was a supporter of the 2008 Ron Paul campaign, and followed closely what happened to Ron Paul again in 2012. Ron Paul WON Arizona. In fact, courts were forced to admit so much, but of course the verdict came late, and Obama was already inaugurated for his second appointed (not elected) term. Did you read what I just said?? The Will of the American People was cast to the side, disregarded, and the President of the United States was SELECTED, Not Elected. Could you imagine how different the country would be if we had Ron Paul instead of Obama in 2008? In 2012?Daniel McCarthy fought and continues to push back on the dark forces of deep corruption and sabotage. He and his team of common heroes pushed back on Ducy's attempt to impose Red Flag Laws in Arizona. They successfully limited the amount of pandemic-related tyranny that was planned for our children, our businesses and daily lives. Most people have no idea why our lives were better in Arizona in comparison to other states throughout the country. It was Daniel McCarthy, Steve Daniels, and a lot of heroes in the background that did what was right and virtuous under the laws of God and our country's founding documents. Daniel McCarthy should be a household name. He should be an inspiration to us all, and a role model for your children. If you don't know Daniel, this is your lucky day. This is that opportunity. Carpe Diem, my friends. Stay vigilant of the mind, awaken your American Spirit of Defiance to Tyranny. It is all our duty.See More on Daniel: https://www.demanddaniel.com/Find him on Twitter and Instagram.

In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I interview Martha McSally. Martha is a compelling example of overcoming adversity and fear to achieve extraordinary feats. Losing her dad at the age of 12 and surviving sexual abuse and assault, she persevered to become the 1st woman in U.S. history to fly a fighter jet in combat and command a fighter squadron in combat. Martha deployed six times to the Middle East and Afghanistan, flying 325 combat hours in the A-10 attack plane, earning the Bronze Star and six air medals. She's the author of the book — Dare to Fly: Simple Lessons in Never Giving Up.

[As always, this little blog/newsletter is how I pay my bills, and I would be so grateful if you support my writing with a paid subscription.]Four months is a long time these days. At least for me, it used to be that four months was a bit of a jog but easily contextualized in the brain's aerial view. I could look backwards and easily spot that marker. Now, it seems, the space-time continuum has been cruelly mocked and warped by current events in such a way that a month in 2022 honestly feels legitimately equal to a quarter in 2011 and looking backward that far, even that much, is a fool's errand, only bound to disappoint.Whatever you were doing four months ago, the world continues to indifferently spin into spun-up difference from what it once was. Four months ago was before 19 children and two teachers were murdered in Uvalde, TX. Four months ago was before a white supremacist murdered ten innocents, targeting the Black community in Buffalo, NY. Four months ago was before—wait, be honest with me: without looking it up, how easily can you recall the details of that horrific mass shooting on the New York City Subway in April?That wasn't even four months ago.Exactly four months ago yesterday, I was at SXSW watching the world premiere of “Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down”, a documentary about the former Arizona congresswoman who survived a brutal assassination attempt in 2011 that left six others murdered and has since been on a journey of remarkable advocacy, both in her medical rehabilitation after being shot in the head at point-blank range and the widely-praised leadership role she has undertaken in the gun reform movement. The documentary is superb, and we'll get to that in a second. I want to further underline that four months ago was a completely different world, especially for the families in Highland Park and Tulsa and Uvalde and Buffalo and Pittsburgh and Sacramento and I wouldn't blame you at all for missing details on a few of these. In America in 2022, it's hard for even the most news-centric among us to keep up with the mass shootings that make national news, let alone the unending cascade of underreported mass shootings that tear through communities across the country.Since March 12th, 2022—the date of the world premiere at SXSW—there have been 250 mass shootings, according to The Gun Violence Archive.In other words, there has been an average of more than two mass shootings per day since Gabby Giffords premiered her deeply moving and galvanizing documentary in Austin. More than twice daily has there been a mass shooting in the United States over the past four months. More than twice daily. Think about that.This past Monday, July 11th, was a good day for America but particularly meaningful for Gabby Giffords and every other survivor and advocate in the gun reform movement. Just before noon, President Biden presided over a ceremony on the White House South Lawn to celebrate the signing of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first gun reform legislation signed into law in three decades.Brilliantly shepherded through the notoriously inept upper chamber by Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), the law does a hell of a lot more than we've seen in recent memory and yet has also drawn criticism for falling well short of what our lawmakers should be doing to curb gun violence in America.That's an observation which, forgive me, seems pretty goddamn redundant. Of course it doesn't do enough. No bill short of taking every single common sense measure would be enough in this crisis. Universal background checks are common sense. Registration of every firearm is common sense. Proper licensing for every gun owner is common sense. Banning civilian ownership of assault weapons is common sense. The absence of any of these in a bill would make the legislation inherently flawed, even if they were the sole absence. That must be the good faith reading of any rational adult in government.But our government is not flush to the gills with rational adults, and so, the most rational adults must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Let me state resolutely: this new law is substantial progress and deserves celebration, and I personally don't need more than a moment's thought to understand that many thousands of lives will be saved because of it. That is worth celebrating.Of course it's not enough. Why would it ever be enough? Eighteen years from now, thousands of children will have just graduated from high school who would have otherwise been brutally murdered in a mass shooting or by an abusive relative or by themselves with an unsecured firearm in their home after being purchased by a domestic abuser.I was there on Monday with hundreds of other attendees. I saw Manuel Oliver stand up in the middle of the President's remarks, not far in front of me, and let the world know this isn't enough. That's true. It's not enough. He has every right to be angry at the pace of all this. The man lost his child. That is a pain I can't begin to fathom. I also saw numerous advocates carrying full-size photographs of their slain loved ones, far too many of those being a child's school portrait, coming up to President Biden and other elected officials to thank them for taking a few steps forward, saving a few more thousand lives, giving a few more million people a bit more hope for the future.It seemed like just about every single gun reform advocate in the country was at this ceremony and almost all were willing to express two thoughts simultaneously: that this bill is a good thing, won through dogged advocacy, and it's also not nearly enough.This new legislation wouldn't have been possible without countless advocates doing the labor for so many years, and even so, Gabby Giffords' story is one of those that stands out among that extraordinary crowd. A few hours after the ceremony, many of us made our way downtown to the U.S. Navy Memorial Plaza for the D.C. premiere of her documentary.Four months is a long time, as we've now established, and I could feel the difference between the screenings. I didn't feel as depressed or worn out in Austin. Maybe it was the lack of national reporting on mass shootings in the first quarter of this year, but the whole situation seemed to significantly lessen in its incessant horror for a bit, certainly nothing like the gauntlet of terror to which we've all been witness since April.And yet, there was hope. Had we not all just been at the White House to observe some significant steps forward? The documentary seemed to match this balanced tone of grounded optimism and brutal honesty perfectly, beat for beat. The filmmakers, Julie Cohen and Betsy West, previously won widespread critical claim for their documentaries on the late Justice Ginsburg (2018), Pauli Murray (2021), and Julia Child (2021), public figures navigating the exceedingly thorny intersection of power, influence, and gender.“Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down” is firmly within that tradition of excellence while also capturing a potent urgency that confronts the violent uncertainty of this hellish era in which we live. For a long time, there has existed a muted paranoia throughout the nation, a feeling that any of us could be next in a mass shooting. But the decline of our institutions and a corresponding decline of faith in our institutions and the ripped stitches of January 6th, raw and festering and wholly unclean, have added an additional and formidable layer of desperation to our national mood. How the hell are we gonna fix this when the tools required to fix it need fixing themselves?The documentary doesn't blow smoke but it also refuses to back down from the claim that we can get through this together, if only we had the faith in each other to do so. Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly have that kind of faith in each other, and it shows.So… the story.It was 2006, and Gabrielle Dee Giffords, a 36 year-old former CEO of her grandfather's local tire company, had seemingly come out of nowhere to win a congressional seat covering an area the GOP had held for more than 20 years. She had sold the business in 2000, did two years in the state house, two years in the state senate, and then launched a long shot bid to win in a district where the Republican incumbent had trounced both of the Democratic challengers in the two previous election cycles by more than 24 points. Well, the GOP incumbent, Jim Kolbe, decided not to run for reelection and the more moderate GOP candidate most likely to succeed him was plunged into scandal and GOP voters chose a far more conservative successor and Democrats nationwide had one hell of a year in effective political messaging (on their way to taking back the House), and suddenly, this seat seemed very much up for grabs.But that all still fails to account for the magnitude of the pendulum rebound that occurred in Arizona's 8th congressional district that year. Giffords didn't win a nail-biter. She didn't simply take the edge in a photo finish.She won by more than 12 points, a swing of 36 points among voters from Republican to Democrat in only two years. It wasn't just that she won in a landslide but that she did so in a district that was overwhelmingly Republican-supporting.And she did this while being unapologetically pro-choice, supporting a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and refusing to agree that marriage should be restricted to one man and one woman (remember: this is 2006).How?The documentary highlights Giffords' extraordinary interpersonal intelligence, at once empathetic and authentic and confident and completely disarming to even some of her most conservative constituents who didn't support her, a dynamic on the recipient that's described by admirers as being “gabbyfied”. That's not an exaggeration. Go look up interviews that Giffords did before the shooting. She sounds like a real person. She sounds like the most evolved form of a kind and well informed neighbor who truly wants to make the world a better place. I have been a student of politics for a long time and I've heard countless anecdotes about Clinton and Biden and a handful of others making someone in a crowded room briefly feel like they're the only person in the world. But even that effect carries something of a conceit that we all seem to accept: this is their job and they're the best in the country at it and the Greats are meant to suspend reality for a few moments. It's almost like a magic trick and we understand it's not real and the vast majority of us are okay with that.The thing about Gabby Giffords, what seems abundantly clear, is that she never needed the benefit of reality being suspended in order to reach someone. It wasn't magic. It was just her. The opening scenes of the documentary point to Giffords' most likely trajectory back in the early aughts: a handful of terms in the House, then probably some time in the Senate, and down the road, it is implied (and quite rightly), a truly competitive candidacy for the White House from a notable swing state, probably sooner rather than later.It was the first week of January in 2011 when Giffords and her advisors had made plans to huddle in D.C. and start prepping for a likely run against then-Sen. Jeff Flake in 2012. (By the way, can you imagine that race? She would have cleaned his clock.)Before they could do that, there was a constituent event to attend, “Congress on Your Corner”, a feature of her district outreach that had become a high priority for Giffords. It was supposed to be 90 minutes of greeting folks and talking out their concerns in front of the Safeway in La Toscana Village. Just past 10am, as Giffords and her staff engaged with constituents, a coward whom I refuse to name, armed with a Glock 19 pistol and several magazines he had purchased at a sporting goods store just a 12 minute drive away, walked up to the Congresswoman, shot her in the head at point blank range, and then began firing at everyone else. Gabriel Zimmerman, 30, Gifford's community outreach director; Dorwan Stoddard, 76, retired construction worker; Phyllis Schneck, 79, homemaker; John Roll, 63, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for Arizona; Dorothy “Dot” Morris, 76, retired secretary; and nine year-old Christina-Taylor Green, who was getting interested in civics and wanted to meet the Congresswoman.Six deaths, 14 injured, including Giffords, in less than 60 seconds of shooting. Daniel Hernández, Jr., an intern in her office, had the wherewithal to slow Giffords' bleeding and ensure she didn't choke on her own blood, long enough for paramedics to arrive five minutes after the shooting started. This would save her life at a critical moment.Gabby Giffords was pronounced dead to most of the country for at least an hour that Saturday afternoon. NPR ran with what they thought was a critical scoop, based on two unconfirmed sources, and the rest of national media did the bulk of the work in pushing it out. At one point, every major network was reporting that Giffords had been assassinated. By the way, as much as I love NPR and certainly support their journalism, the close of their explanation and apology over this incident, more than a decade ago, is ludicrous: “While NPR made a significant mistake that dinged its credibility, it should be commended for quickly apologizing and being transparent. Rather than hurting NPR's credibility, taking responsibility for the mistake should enhance it.”What?Mark Kelly, Gifford's husband, a seasoned NASA astronaut who was then prepping for an upcoming shuttle mission, listened to a news broadcast informing him that his wife had been murdered and broke down.As much as this documentary is about gun reform and Giffords' journey of recovery and her love story with Kelly, that particular scene over NPR's callous approach at the time, the normalized rush for media to be first rather than be right, is especially potent. The problem with clumsy media going for clicks and listeners rather than accuracy is one that very much persists to this day.Did I mention that Giffords and her family have a hell of a sense of humor? I certainly didn't expect to laugh as much as I did while watching a documentary on an assassination attempt. Throughout her recovery, Giffords, even through the dense fog of recalibrating her brain, sparks scenes with her wit and warmth. Her chemistry with Kelly—it almost feels underwhelming to describe it that way—is the engine of the movie. During the Q&A after the D.C. screening, CNN's Kate Bolduan asked Giffords and filmmakers Cohen and West about the undeniable theme of a “feminist marriage” between them — a true partnership between Giffords and Kelly that tracks a balanced but nuanced inverse of their public roles before and after the shooting.Giffords eventually returned to the House in the midst of her recovery for critical votes but declined to run again, the health complications being too much to surmount at the time. Kelly, having completed his fourth shuttle mission, retired from NASA, pissed as could be about the lackluster response from Congress following the attempted assassination on his wife and gun violence generally, particularly in the wake of Sandy Hook, and launched a bid for John McCain's old seat in the Senate.Kelly, whom the documentary lovingly describes as far more of an engineer than a politician, is guided through his campaign by Giffords. One notable and hilarious scene shows Giffords tutoring Kelly on the maiden speech he's scheduled to deliver following his victory against Martha McSally. “Slow down, head up”, Giffords playfully urges Kelly, who demonstrates an impressive adaptation to a skill set he's never needed.For his part, Kelly's predominant role is caregiver, tending to Giffords throughout her recovery process, keeping the family steady and optimistic, doing the emotional labor typically expected of women, and, all the while, continuing his demanding work as a literal NASA astronaut.Cohen and West depict an ideal marriage of equals, simply two human beings who love each other and bring out the best qualities in one another's hearts during the worst of times.Their relationships, with each other and their kids and their close circle of friends and family, emphasize the importance of community.I met Gabby Giffords in Austin after that screening back in March and couldn't help but get a picture with her after the D.C. screening on Tuesday. She didn't know me from Jane, just another admirer in the crowd, and yet, she took the time in both moments to thank me for attending, gave me a big hug, and said some encouraging words. I was most certainly gabbyfied.Four months is a long time these days, and the world is already very, very different from March, as it will be in November, four months from now. The speed of change has become so quick, seemingly everything in flux, that we are forced, for our own sense of stability, to grab things that are steady and hold on for dear life.It is in uncertain times that leaders who can offer us a sense of certainty shine the brightest. The Gabby Giffords who was once discussed as a likely future presidential candidate more than a decade ago is the same Gabby Giffords who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, last week.Folks will point to her example of recovery and resilience or the work that's been done by her organization, eponymously named “Giffords”, to educate the public on gun violence and push for common sense reform, or her general leadership in the public arena, which is more respected and influential than ever.With humility, I would offer that none of these are the greatest achievements of Gabby Giffords. Her greatest achievement is reminding us all of the importance of community in an era through which our country has never demonstrated a greater need for it. Four months is a long time and the world is changing quick on its own axis but Gabby Giffords, more than a decade on, even in her most vulnerable moments, hasn't changed much at all. She's always been right there, in the community, doing the work. If leadership means empathetic continuity, she's among the greatest to ever take that walk.God bless her for it.—[“Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down” enters nationwide release in theaters this Friday, July 15th.

One of Martha's favorite sayings is "do things afraid". And her book opens up with the perfect example as she climbs into the seat of an A-10 attack plane. It is a single seat plane and it was her first flight. There were no simulators and no one could teach her how to fly it. She simply had to do it. "Courage is not the absence of fear. It's choosing to do things afraid." From being the first woman to fly in combat in an A-10 to being a Congressperson and Senator, Martha McSally has made it a point to "do things afraid." As a result, she's been an agent of change and a force of nature who is living a most remarkable life. Come meet Col. (ret.) Martha McSally.   #BumpInTheRoad #Aviation

Today on Sojourner Truth, our post-election special. Reaction, analysis and a view from poll watchers in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, November 3, millions of people across the United States headed to the polls and cast their ballots as part of the 2020 elections. Along with over 100 million people who did early voting, this election is reported to be the largest turnout in 100 years. In a race that turned out to be much closer than had been predicted, Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris faced off against Donald Trump and Mike Pence. As of the time we go on the air, it remains still to early to project a winner in the presidential race. Votes are still being counted in Alaska, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Georgia and Pennsylvania, according to CNN. Biden holds the lead in the Electoral College at this stage, with 224 votes compared to Trump's 213. A total of 270 Electoral College votes are needed to become President. On Election Night, Trump won a tight race in Florida, bumped up by the Latino vote in Miami Dade County, where large Cuban and Venezuelan exile communities live. There, Trump won 51.2 percent of votes compared to Biden's 47.8. In Florida, Latinos make up 19 percent of all of the state's voters, according to Al Jazeera. In contrast, in Arizona, Latino voters favored Biden by nearly 2-1, with Trump barely making a dent. In Wisconsin, with more than 90 percent of votes counted, Biden holds a narrow lead over Trump. In Nevada, with 85 percent of the votes counted, Biden leads by less than a percentage point. Now, all eyes are on Michigan, where the clerk of Wayne County (a key suburb) says they are counting votes, with no foreseeable end in sight. Pennsylvania, a state which Trump falsely claimed he had won, is just beginning to count hundreds of thousands of early votes mailed in that are expected to be heavily in favor of Biden. Aside from the presidential race, a number of important developments have taken place. In the Senate race, as of Wednesday morning, Republicans are in the lead with 47 seats compared with the Democrats 45 seats. 51 seats are needed to form a majority. Republicans appear poised to maintain a narrow Senate majority after winning a number of tight races and with others remaining too close to call. The Republicans currently hold a 53-47 seat majority. Democrats need to win four seats to flip the Senate after Alabama Sen. Doug Jones lost to Republican Tommy Tuberville. Democrats have picked up a seat in Colorado, with John Hickenlooper defeating Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, and one in Arizona, with Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, beating GOP Sen. Martha McSally. Meanwhile, all four progressive congresswomen referred to as The Squad have all won reelection in the House of Representatives. They include Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Our guests are Dr. Robin Kelley, Bill Gallegos, Phoebe Jones Schellenberg and Tara Galatt. Dr. Robin Kelley is the Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA.

As of the time we go on the air, it remains still to early to project a winner in the presidential race. Votes are still being counted in Alaska, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Georgia and Pennsylvania, according to CNN. Biden holds the lead in the Electoral College at this stage, with 224 votes compared to Trump's 213. A total of 270 Electoral College votes are needed to become President. On Election Night, Trump won a tight race in Florida, bumped up by the Latino vote in Miami Dade County, where large Cuban and Venezuelan exile communities live. There, Trump won 51.2 percent of votes compared to Biden's 47.8. In Florida, Latinos make up 19 percent of all of the state's voters, according to Al Jazeera. In contrast, in Arizona, Latino voters favored Biden by nearly 2-1, with Trump barely making a dent. In Wisconsin, with more than 90 percent of votes counted, Biden holds a narrow lead over Trump. In Nevada, with 85 percent of the votes counted, Biden leads by less than a percentage point. Now, all eyes are on Michigan, where the clerk of Wayne County (a key suburb) says they are counting votes, with no foreseeable end in sight. Pennsylvania, a state which Trump falsely claimed he had won, is just beginning to count hundreds of thousands of early votes mailed in that are expected to be heavily in favor of Biden. Aside from the presidential race, a number of important developments have taken place. In the Senate race, as of Wednesday morning, Republicans are in the lead with 47 seats compared with the Democrats 45 seats. 51 seats are needed to form a majority. Republicans appear poised to maintain a narrow Senate majority after winning a number of tight races and with others remaining too close to call. The Republicans currently hold a 53-47 seat majority. Democrats need to win four seats to flip the Senate after Alabama Sen. Doug Jones lost to Republican Tommy Tuberville. Democrats have picked up a seat in Colorado, with John Hickenlooper defeating Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, and one in Arizona, with Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, beating GOP Sen. Martha McSally. Meanwhile, all four progressive congresswomen referred to as The Squad have all won reelection in the House of Representatives. They include Reps.

Act IThe Creation of the FedThe Federal Reserve System, often referred to as the Federal Reserve or simply "the Fed," is the central bank of the United States. It was created by the Congress to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The Federal Reserve was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. Today, the Federal Reserve's responsibilities fall into four general areas.Conducting the nation's monetary policy by influencing money and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of full employment and stable prices.Supervising and regulating banks and other important financial institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation's banking and financial system and to protect the credit rights of consumers.Maintaining the stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.Providing certain financial services to the U.S. government, U.S. financial institutions, and foreign official institutions, and playing a major role in operating and overseeing the nation's payments systems.Upon its creation in 1913, twelve central banks all act as a lender of last resort for their regions. Federal Reserve Board is above these central banks that act as a regulatory agency. Originally FRB was only allowed to veto decisions not make them. This caused paralysis in the original system as they all couldn't agree further fuel for the beginnings of the great depression. The Great DepressionWorld War 1 had only ended 10 years after the start of the Great Depression in 1929. All of Europe bankrupted themselves after WW1 because they financed it by borrowing. Their Debt to GDP levels were something like 200-300%. They paid for it by inflating the debt away. The Allies demanded reparations to Germany because they owed the U.S. The U.S. refused to forgive these debts. The Germans thought this was completely unfair and never wanted to pay. Debt to GDP Ratio: Most countries around the world rely on sovereign debt to finance their government and economy. When this debt is used in moderation, it can position an economy to grow more quickly. This is much like using debt to finance a business.The debt-to-GDP ratio is a financial measurement for a country, similar to a business' debt to equity ratio. Both ratios are designed to help interested parties determine if a country has too much debt. It is a measurement of financial health.There is no set ideal ratio for a country to have to indicate it's financial health. However, when the ratio is used with other information, it can help you develop a working concept of a country's health. This can help you decide whether a country's economy is worth investing in.U.S.'s debt-to-GDP ratio is expected to eclipse 120% this year. To put these figures into perspective, the U.S.'s highest debt-to-GDP ratio was 121.7% at the end of World War II, in 1946. Debt levels gradually fell from their post-World War II peak, before plateauing between 31% and 40% in the 1970's—ultimately hitting a historic 31.7% low, in 1974. Ratios have steadily risen since 1980 and then jumped sharply, following 2007's subprime housing crisis and the subsequent financial meltdown.One of the consequences of WW1 was massive inflation which caused hyper inflation in the early 1920's. Central Bankers spent most of the mid to late 1920's trying save the British pound from collapsing. They actually went back to the Gold Standard because they thought it was the cure for hyper-inflation. They were wrong. The world suffered from the shortage of gold in the 1920's as there was not enough to go around (2/3 of the Gold was with the U.S. because of WW1, capital flights, payments etc...) Main problem was Britain went back to the old exchange rate for XAU/GBP (Gold / British pound.) Which caused the British pound to be over valued. In 1927 the central banks got together to discuss a way out of the mess they created. They decided to lower interest rates for European countries to pay back the debt at a lower cost. It was in July 1927 which also happens to be the start of the stock market bubble (within 3 months the stock market was up 21% and never looked back thereafter.) then burst October 1929. What occurred afterwards is what they teach you in school about how there was a run on the banks. (A banking crisis started in 1931, eerily quite the opposite of what we saw in 2020. With the Fed injecting liquidity to central banks and repo markets in 2019.) Eventually through the 1930's Britain, Italy and Germany all defaulted on its war debts and going off the gold standard…which then started the recovery.It is interesting that the ideology of "the gold standard" is that somehow if everyone uses gold everything is resolved. The historical data shows that what actually happens is people simply hoard and/or stop spending money in the economy, therefore no economic progress, then all you have is one or two piles of gold in the world and nothing to show for it, oh except war, famine and depression.....but at least you have your pile of gold.Act IISlow & Steady Transition to ChinaBoiling a Frog: 2008 through 2020The boiling frog is a fable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to or be aware of threats that arise gradually rather than suddenly.During the 2007–2009 recession, US real GDP fell $650 billion (4.3%) and did not recover its $15 trillion pre-recession level for three years. That recession didn't have the psychological impacts unique to today's current pandemic.Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen recently said some startling things. On April 6, 2020, Yellen told CNBC's Sara Eisen on Squawk on the Street, “The Fed…is far more restricted than most other central banks….” (So far, so good. That's why the U.S. has had one of the least-bad paper currencies. It's “only” lost 90% of its purchasing power since 1950. Most paper currencies have fared much worse.) “It would be a substantial change to give the Federal Reserve the ability to buy stock….” “I frankly don't think it's necessary at this point. I think intervention to support the credit markets is more important, but longer term it wouldn't be a bad thing for Congress to reconsider the powers that the Fed has with respect to assets it can own.”When did junk bonds and unfunded municipal pension liabilities become good collateral for the U.S. Dollar? Equities…whaa?Black Rock Standing by to Exit Scam AmericaWith some $7 trillion under management, Larry Fink's mutual and exchange-traded fund specialist is by far the largest such group on the planet. Its funds typically own 5% or more of listed U.S. companies, often making the BlackRock complex the largest shareholder. The expertise it gleans from its global presence made it the go-to place for the Federal Reserve to get urgent help with parts of its multi-trillion-dollar coronavirus rescue package. In March, the U.S. central bank handed BlackRock's financial markets advisory unit its bailout mandate without a competitive process. Questioned by Senator Martha McSally last month, Fed Chair Jay Powell said speed dictated the choice and the Fed would eventually rebid the contract. Looking further you find a strong conflict of interest with Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao very much benefiting from the FED handing trillions to BlackRock.China knows that Wall Street is the gateway to America's central nervous system. Finance controls capital. Wall Street is the conduit of highly valuable information about all sectors of the economy. It has privileged access in the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. And Wall Street can be bought.BlackRock's emerging markets ETF holds only about $300 million, a small fraction of the $7.4 trillion in assets under management that it held at its last year-end. But BlackRock is playing a bigger game. At the 2018 BlackRock investor day, the company identified China as a large and fast-growing market with $3.6 trillion of assets under management and limited foreign access. This year is meant to see the elimination of restrictions on foreign ownership of fund-management firms. BlackRock's 2018 annual report highlights China as one of its largest growth opportunities, with Asia expected to drive 50% of the firm's organic growth of assets under management. “China is a market BlackRock has long coveted,” the Wall Street Journal reported last year.We're not bad people, we just come from a bad place. - Steve McQueenAct IIIWhat The Future Holds for Bitcoin Buy Bitcoin and Save the World…

Voters in Arizona have a critical choice before them this November when they consider who to send to the United States Senate. On the one hand, there’s liberal Kyrsten Sinema. For this campaign, she’s pretended to be a moderate who will consider all points of view. But her record belies the facts. She once proclaimed herself a “Prada Socialist” who supported higher taxes, government-run health care, and lobbied to shut down Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix. And then there’s Martha McSally. She was the first American woman to fly in combat and has served our country with honor and distinction. She’s been a tireless advocate for Arizona families in Congress, supporting tax cuts, more affordable health care, and a balanced budget. In Arizona and across the country, voters face important choices that will profoundly impact our future success. On November 6, don’t forget to make your voice heard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
