When you think of Stoicism, you don't usually think of words like “rich” or “wealthy.”But you should.Before he founded Stoicism, Zeno was a wealthy and successful merchant from a family of wealthy and successful merchants. Seneca was so wealthy that when he called in some of his loans to the Roman colony in Britain, it crashed their economy and sparked a rebellion. Marcus Aurelius was born with ordinary bloodlines but–in part because of his serious study of philosophy–he became the richest and most powerful man in the Roman Empire.The point is most—not all, but most—of the Stoics, ancient or modern, built some kind of wealth.---And in today's Daily Stoic Journal excerpt reading, Ryan discusses how the Stoics handled the opinions of others, and why getting comfortable with being judged by others will help you maintain a healthy mindset.

Seneca tried to teach it to Nero but Nero couldn't grasp it. To be fair, most leaders, most powerful people, most governments and civilizations struggle with it. In fact, up until Seneca sat down to write De Clementia there wasn't even a word for what we have, ever since, called clemency.Clemency, as Seneca explains it, is basically how a powerful person treats a person they have power over–particularly when the less powerful person has done wrong.---And in today's Daily Stoic video excerpt, Ryan shares some of the most strongest examples that Cato The Younger set for living like a Stoic.

For six years Ashley and I coordinated the meeting of a group of young men who met weekly during the school year.  Some weeks there were four, and others there were sixteen.  All between 15 and 18 years of age and all at different stages of maturity.   We walked these young men through a variety of discussions, situations, and scenarios and even adapted a five stage growth pyramid for each to understand where they were at in their level of maturity.   For these young men we relayed the identification of those stages as  Boy Adolescent Man Mentor Patriarch Upon introduction many of the young men in our group presumed that age was the entry point to each stage.  Turn 13 and you become an adolescent.  Turn 18 and you become a man. One astute young man asked a resonating question around our communal fire pit, “at what age do you become a mentor?” It was akin to asking, “at what year do you become an expert in your field?” In 1964 US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart was providing an opinion on the use of obscenity in the public square  in the State of Ohio's  case vs. Jacobellis who had been reprimanded for showing what was considered by some to be an obscene movie.   Justice Stewart explains, “I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it…” We will certainly do our best to layout helpful marks of maturity within a civil society, and yet maturity can be validated in part under the mantra of “I know it when I see it.” My response to the young man asking at what age you scale the stages of manhood?  I asked, “have you ever seen a 19 year old boy walking around in a 54 year old body?” He understood a primary principle of maturity: Maturity equals maturity. Age equals age. You can have age without maturity. You can have some maturity without age. You cannot have full maturity without the combination of age and wisdom. Wisdom is a cocktail of time, understanding, trial, error, learning, teaching, consideration and circumspect, humility, confidence, and curiosity. Wisdom gone right is shrewd and helpful. Wisdom corrupted is deception and gaslighting. The secret to wisdom is this…GO PURSUE WISDOM! How do we know what to pursue, or what a wise person, a mature person even looks like? Here are NINE marks of maturation that we can pursue ourselves and begin looking for in others.  These marks do not prove full maturity, but simply a pursuit of maturity at some particular mile marker on the highway.   First, a maturing person is someone who has written and defined principles (mission, values) for their life. We all like to think that writing things down and defining “purpose” in our lives is good for the self-help section at Barnes and Noble, but in real life we can never find time for that. The maturing person makes time to articulate the things that drive them and the things they value.  Our family has a drive to create space and be a light through adventure, wisdom, and time around the table. One of the more sacred spots in our day to day is any table we find ourselves at together whether it be our dinner table in Bluffton, a bleacher seat in Winston-Salem, a tray table in row 31 seat C, D, and E somewhere over the Atlantic, or a restaurant table in Cinque Terre.  The table is an indicator for us to limit distractions, share peaks and pits, discuss a wide range of recent events and future plans, and to play 3 rounds of a twitchy card game. It's written, we talk about it, and it has become a habit at this point. If you don't write them down, they do not exist.  Second, the maturing person invests a bulk of time into a recurring “thing” (Reps):  Distraction has become chaos' tool of choice in our modern battle to fight.  Desire is rarely the enemy that keeps us from progressing to expert status.  We have a desire to fly planes, learn a language, love yoga, travel to Siberia, or hike the Cascades.   Distraction then hijacks desire in mid-flight rendering us aloof and frustrated not being able to achieve that thing we know would satisfy and re-energize.   While at the Chick Fil A mothership in Peachtree City, GA we heard a recurring idiom that for a while felt like classic corporate goofiness and then over time was sobered up to a well trained conviction; “Full Time…Best Effort”.   It's one thing to “be at work” all day vs. “working all day”.   While we are at work all day, distraction begins hovering like sand gnats on a warm May afternoon at a southern coastal ball field.  It nips, bites, frustrates, until we either leave, or take measures to battle against.   Three hours at work is not the same as working for three straight hours.  One gives the allusion of maturity.  The other implements boundaries which lead to maturity and exponential value to you and the people you impact. When you mature to give your full time…best effort, choosing not to work in a short series of fits and starts, you are setting the stage for a mass accrual of reps in a given task or skillset providing you a valuable path to expertise and value. Immaturity always welcomes distraction.   The third mark of a maturing person reveals a sober judgment and intuition spending time looking at a “thing” from multiple angles.   For most of my life I didn't “get” art.  People would sit and look, observe, think, contemplate, review, change angles and keep looking. “What are they looking at?”, I would think with disdain and arrogance. Perspective is a hallmark in appreciating great art.  Today I would accept an invitation into just about any display of artistic creation.  One of my favorite art displays is the small, dark Museo Leonardo Da Vinci.  A two minute walk from the infamous Duomo in Florence is a unique museum displaying recreations of da Vinci's drawings.   Da Vinci was a prolific illustrator drawing fine details of human anatomy, mechanical machinery, and novel tools.  Many of these drawings were never manufactured into tangible instruments.  The da Vinci museum displays actual (in some cases life size) creations of da Vinci's drawings like a tank, a flying machine and others.  These tools in essence jump off the page into real life and the museum gives you a unique opportunity to look at aa Vinci's mind and work from multiple angles and perspectives.  What might have seemed hideous or impractical on paper is now meaningful and unique when built in real life.   Maturity is making the time to walk around and see the various angles of a thing not in hopes of proving your opinion, but instead to reformulate your convictions with great understanding.   The fourth mark of a maturing person is situational awareness; the ability to “read the room” knowing who is in the room, when to act and how to act. Walk down a terminal in most major airports and he will be nearby, the guy with the bluetooth headset talking as if Nine Inch Nails are playing a live set at the next gate down and he's got to make sure the person on the other end can hear everything he has to say. Your response, “READ THE ROOM”. Solitude is helpful, isolation less so.  We (yes, even introverts) live in a communal society with shared spaces.  It serves us well to read the room and respond in kind to the dynamics of that room.   If people are tired, frustrated, jet lagged, in a hurry, delayed, short-fused and in need of space and peace, probably best not to add volume to that chaos.  Read the room. If people are energized, fired up, ready to storm the hill and score the winning touchdown, probably best not to reveal your inner Eeyore.  Read the room. There is a time and place for everything and the maturing person is willing to reveal their “true self” in moments where their true self will be invited and welcomed.   Read the room. A hallmark of situational awareness is the ALL important SELF-awareness.  Spending time discovering the inner workings of yourself will open up a world of insight and aha's as to why you are the way you are, do the things you do, and act the way you act. Maturity in self-awareness never uses what you have discovered as a crutch to excuse preference.  “Well, I'm an ‘S' on the DISC so you shouldn't ask me to do that.”  Or, “I have no Tenacity on the Working Genius so you can't expect me to have that done so quickly.” Profiles and enneagram numbers are helpful; these are third party tools that give us objective insight into the intangible parts of our personality.  As you learn, the mature person asks, “what are the things that I naturally love to contribute, and what are the things that I need to be aware that I am not as prone to so I can push through those areas when needed?” Maturing people realize that Jim Rohn was right, “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”  In fact, you are likely the average of the five books you read, the five foods you eat, the five songs you listen to, and the five things you spend your money on. A new rhetorical question that we are going to begin adding to our hiring process is this, “if I asked you to setup a dinner with the five people you spend the most time with, would you be excited for me to meet with them?” Life and business necessarily intersect.  Who you are out there, is who you will be in here.   Run with chaos out there, and you will want to burn the building down here.  Run with wisdom out there, and you will want to build up the culture in here.   Who are the five people you spend the most time with?  Would I enjoy dinner with them? The sixth element of a maturing person is they feel compelled by gratitude to reinvest the wisdom they have received into others.  This reinvestment is less about waiting until you have hit a threshold of wisdom to start giving that wisdom away, and more about immediately teaching the wisdom you have to the people you interact with immediately. Did you learn something today?  Use it today and teach it today. Seneca, the Roman Philosopher said, “while we teach, we learn”.   Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” In just a few minutes, I will involve you in an exercise that will help teach the things I'm learning so that we can all grow and perpetuate the wisdom to our co-workers, partners, families, and friends.   The maturing person is always teaching out of the gratitude they have for being taught.  The seventh mark of a maturing person are the stress-tests they've endured.   Our family loves to hike, to walk along trails in the woods with no distractions and to simply look around and take it all in…to see what is out there and allow our minds to voyage into peaceful places.   My son has a bazaar tradition when we are hiking in the woods, if he sees a tree he thinks is dead or dying he will work to “truck the tree”.  He'll give it a few pushes casually to see if the tree is vulnerable and off balance; to see if it has some “give”. After a few pushes he then makes a highly scientific judgment call to determine that tree's “truckability”.  Can he make that tree fall if he were to deliver a linebacker like form tackle to its trunk?  Mis-judge the tree and the tree wins whilst you get an Uber ride to the Orthopaedics office.  Judge correctly and you feel like a dominant predator of the woods knocking down trees with your bare shoulders.   The maturing person has been pushed, pressed, and had tested through a variety of trials and tests both personally and professionally.  It is unreasonable and naive to think that you will live life on Lake Placid, where your waters will always be smooth and your skies will always be blue. That testing is a gift because it breeds and develops endurance.  Endurance then works itself into hope, into a light at the end of a tunnel that is opportunity, life, conviction, belief, and satisfaction.  It is said that having hope will never disappoint.   The maturing person will be aware of their response when they are rejected, or when they win. Notice the maturing person may or may not respond perfectly to rejection or to winning, but they are aware of their response and the impact that response has on themselves and on others around them. Rejection is fertile ground for shame.  Brene Brown has been studying shame for decades and describes shame as an “intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.” Each of us has unique shame triggers, events that happen that open the door for that intensely painful feeling because our flaws have been revealed. You could have just received a stern response, a cross glance, a critique on your work, a roll of the eyes in response to your contribution, or a harsh pushback from a client.   Maybe your Dad only calls when he needs something or your Mom still treats you like you were 8 years old. Maturity is not never feeling rejection.  Maturity is being aware of how you feel when you are rejected and then intentionally using emotional tools to grow from that rejection instead of self-medicating with rage, anger, return shame, substances, or loneliness.  Victory and winning are equally as important.  When you win, how do you win?  Maturity will always lead with humility, joy, satisfaction, and gratitude.  Maturity will never thrive in an environment of arrogance, stand alone pride, gaslighting, and trash talking. Humility is the currency of the wise.  On par with self-awareness, Shakespeare “A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” We are told it is the “foolish things of the world that are used to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” A ninth mark of a maturing person is how they respond to authority, to coaching, and to the less fortunate. The coaches you remember are the coaches that were hard, the ones who demanded more, and who were convinced that you had more to give. Dr. David Crutchley was a professor of mine in graduate school.  I studied more for his classes than I did anyone else's in the history of my education.  I never scored above a B minus on any exam or paper I turned into him. Frustrated I tried to reason with him as to why I earned higher grades.  His response echoed, “I would rather you get a C in my class and walk away having truly learned, than for you to ace my class and to learn nothing.” A life of 5.0's and 10 out of 10's on everything is a life that is ultimately not helpful towards resilience.   Karen Arnold, a researcher who followed 81 High School Valedictorians came to an eye-opening conclusion: “Even though most (valedictorians) are strong occupational achievers, the great majority of former high school valedictorians do not appear headed for the very top of adult achievement arenas….Valedictorians aren't likely to be the future's visionaries . . . they typically settle into the system instead of shaking it up.” This is not license to not work hard, to not grow in diligence, and to not give great effort.  This is motivation to seek and appreciate hard coaching, serious feedback, and honest insight.   Remember, the launching point into a life of wisdom is to simply GO LOOKING FOR IT.  If you find someone willing to do the hard, emotionally taxing work of giving you honest feedback, GO SIT WITH THEM and go get wisdom.   Wisdom will be the road sign to maturity.

It seems obvious. If you want to be better at your job, work more. If you want to be more successful, focus on it entirely. Yet history doesn't actually bear this out.Overwork. A lack of balance…it ends in ruin. It's why Marcus Aurelius tried to remind himself to “not be all about business.” It's why Seneca advocated wandering walks and lots of time reading and thinking. It's why middle Stoics like Antipater spoke of the importance of cultivating a happy and healthy family–not just worldly accomplishments.---And in today's Daily Stoic video excerpt, Ryan outlines six Stoic-inspired changes that you can make in your life in order to turn your words into actions, to show the deeds of a philosopher. ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail

Are you a founder or business owner who's looking to scale your vision, develop high-level leadership skills, or transition from startup to corporate? Then you'll want to tune in to this lively discussion with our special guest, Seneca Smith, Senior Manager in the Human Capital Practice at Deloitte Consulting.  In her work at Deloitte, Seneca advises businesses on how to approach global transformation, specifically focusing on defining the future of work, designing adaptable organizations, and preparing leadership and the workforce for change.  In this episode of Off the Wall, hosts David Armstrong and Jessica Gibbs talk to Seneca about her experience working with leaders to scale their businesses, vision, and leadership skills. She provides key insights such as why all founders should hire a leadership coach, how to align your business and workforce strategies, and what to do if you're stuck in the ‘Norming' stage of business growth. Plus, Seneca shares tips and advice on how you can better delegate responsibilities, so you're not stuck wearing all the hats as a founder.  "One of the challenges of getting stuck at ‘norming' is you are now in a place that is comfortable: You are hitting your targets and doing work in a way that feels operationally efficient—but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're achieving innovative goals. You're not getting to that next stage of performing and really stretching. One of the reasons might be for that fear that you would fall back into ‘storming' phase because performing includes an element of risk.” - Seneca Smith  Please see important podcast disclosure information at https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/disclosures.      Episode Timeline/Key Highlights:  [00:52] Introducing Seneca Smith & the topic of today's episode.  [01:57] Forming, Storming, Norming, & Performing.  [02:52] What should founders be thinking about and doing when going from startup to formal business (from Forming to Storming)?  [04:36] Scaling your vision for your business.  [11:06] What to do if you're stuck in the Norming stage & How to break into the Performing stage.  [14:01] Wearing all the hats isn't sustainable for founders.

A grab bag of unique questions come at Mike, Paul, and Colleen this month, including whether to buy new or overhaul, how prop stops work, what happens when you reduce from wide open throttle, and avoiding tiedowns. Submit your question to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Full notes below: Dale has a Seneca and he's looking to the future and having to overhaul two engines. He's wondering how to decide between factory new, reman, or overhaul. Not surprisingly, they suggest flying your current engines as long as possible if they are treating you well. When the time comes that you have to change engines, Mike said his general rule is that if the engine has treated you well to consider a field overhaul. If there's a concern about the current engine, he said to consider a factory engine. More control over the process is another reason to do a field overhaul. Jim has a question about his L-3 with a Continental A65. He has an updated carburetor with a mixture control. A challenge with that engine is that you don't get an onset of roughness when leaning. It just tries to quit, and without an electrical system, an in-flight shutdown isn't ideal. He's worried that a big stumble is startling and he pushes it too far rich again, putting him in the red box. Mike said there's no need to go to roughness. You can lean only to the first indication of power reduction. Dubs has noticed that after leveling in cruise, when pulling the throttle back from wide open, it moves a significant amount before the manifold pressure changes. Yet in doing so he's reducing his fuel flow. He's wondering why this happens. Mike thinks it's possible Dubs has a carb with an enrichment circuit, which gives more fuel at wide open throttle, meaning fuel flow will come down as soon as throttle is reduced. The hosts discuss how Dubs' operating practice is how Cessna 182 pilots with 0-470 engines should operate to improve mixture distribution. The impact butterfly valves make is very non-linear, they say. The first 5 to 10 degrees of tilt won't make a big difference, for example. Phillip is a maintenance tech in a shop that adjusted the low pitch stop of a prop based on the recommendations of the prop shop. He's wondering why it was successful. Paul describes how a prop adjustment works, and why some airplanes don't make full rpm until they're down the runway a bit. Richard's Rotax ran rough on a run-up, and after some troubleshooting he still hasn't found the culprit. All winter it ran fine, but he's concerned it will happen again in warm weather. Since this happened on both magnetos it's likely not a spark plug. Colleen is wondering if the rpm range had an impact because the Bing carbs have three distinct operating ranges. If it happens again Colleen recommends isolating it and first checking the spark plugs, then maybe cleaning the carbs, and finally looking at the fuel delivery lines. Mike thinks it has to be a fuel system problem since it changes with temperature. Brennan has a nice Mooney M20J that he wants to continue to take good care of. He now lives in a very humid environment and can't find a hangar. He left the airplane in his old hangar and can barely get to the airplane to fly it. He's wondering what would be the least damaging practice—fly less or keep it outside. The hosts think it's better to get the airplane closer and fly it while doing his best to keep corrosion away with freshwater washes, corrosion treatments, and maybe covers.

My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Today we are going to be discussing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green for a couple reasons. The first one being that she called out the Biden family, along with the President of the United States for being involved in. Trafficking, human trafficking to be exact. And on top of that, she came out and called out another individual during a congressional hearing for having extra marital affairs with a Chinese spy. So we will discuss that. We will also discuss the Planned Parenthood communications Director committing suicide after police launched a child porn investigation into him and raided his apartment building. So, uh, very sad, um, to hear that that is still going on in the world, but obviously, uh, in this case, glad to hear that, you know, at least there was maybe a little bit of justice there, uh, rather that than him still going around the world and conducting the terrible things that he was doing. So, After that, we will watch a quick clip by the Senator John Federman Fu fu fu fumbling over every single word that was an on a sheet of paper in front of him during a committee hearing. Um, after, you know, he came back from, I guess a medical leave for depression or something like that. So we'll talk about that. After that, we will jump into, uh, a recent video that surfaced surrounding the views. Uh, Patty Le Lap, Patty Lape. That sounds like a early character from like a Tom and Jerry film.

Shop now. Help support your boy and let's jump into it.     The Adams archive. All right, very first on the agenda today. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green called out the Biden Crime family for participating in human trafficking by soliciting prostitutes from the United States and abroad in countries like Russia and Ukraine. So let's go ahead and watch this video by Marjorie Taylor Green and see what she has to say about it. Then I will talk about it because this is something that we have talked about before with the Hunter Biden laptop. I have done a complete deep dive, two separate episodes into the laptop of Hunter Biden. So go back and find those in the archives. But this is wild to hear. Come out of a congresswoman's mouth. So here she is calling out the President of the United States for participating and paying for human trafficking. This is a legitimate. Congresswoman calling out the president of the United States for human trafficking. Now, the world was up in arms about Donald Trump saying something about grabbing her by the pussy. But here we are with substantial evidence that the president of the United States, the current standing president of the United States, participated in human trafficking, including, and, and this is probably what she's alluding here, but something that we talked about with the Hunter Biden laptop is that he asked his father to wire him money Hunter Biden did so that he could pay a rust. A Russian prostitute asked Joe Biden to wire him money. So along the same exact time that he was not able to pay this prostitute, he was texting about the fact that she was asking for this money, how much, it was like a ridiculous amount. He didn't have it. He asked his dad to wire him money so that he could pay this Russian prostitute. And here is Marjorie Taylor Green talking about it. Finally, um,  For after a congressional hearing, and here we go, reviewing the financial records in the Treasury. Uh, what I saw was over 2000 pages of jaw-dropping information. Uh, there's basically an enterprise wrapped around Joe Biden, uh, involving not only multiple family members, more than we thought there were, but other people as well. Uh, just a complete conglomerate of LLC shell companies where money was passing through from foreign countries, China, Ukraine, but many more countries than just those. There's a lot of information the American people deserve to know of the Biden family and the crimes they've been involved in. And the oversight committee has a much bigger investigation to do than we ever thought was possible. Um, I just saw evidence of human trafficking. Uh, this involved prostitutes not only from here in the United States, but foreign countries like Russia and Ukraine. Uh, this is, this is unbelievable that a president and a former vice president, uh, not only his son Hunter Biden, but many more family members extending past Hunter Biden and his immediate family. Uh, we're going to have to really get to work. This is an investigation that needs to be revealed to the American people. And not only do we have questions about Hunter Biden himself, but this is going to extend into developing a web of, uh, corruption, a web of fake companies, uh, that's going to reveal money that came in from many foreign countries and went directly into the personal bank accounts of the Biden family, where they have financially benefited directly from Joe Biden's, uh, seats of power. And we look forward to investigating and exposing for this, this, for the American people. And, um, and we'll see where it goes from there.  All right, so we know what she's talking about, right? At least everything that she talked about there, I'm familiar with from doing these deep dives. And if you aren't familiar, go back and listen to those podcasts surrounding the Hunter Biden laptops. But I'll give you a brief synopsis. So Hunter Biden left his laptop at a laptop repair shop. Very stupid of him, but obviously, uh, that does not pale in comparison to the stupid amount of stuff that he had on that laptop, including all of these pictures with, uh, these prostitutes. I mean, literally, this man did not have sex with a woman ever without documenting it with pictures of him with a crack pipe in his mouth. Um, but what she's talking about here is all, obviously all of the webs from Ukraine, from China, from Barisma, the energy companies that Hunter Biden was on the board of, um, through his shell companies that she's talking about, which she's alluding to there, which is. Uh, I'm trying to remember the name of it. Um, but it was, uh, some something Seneca, um, I forget the name. I, I'm, I'm sure I can look it up here, but, um, Seneca Capital or some shit like that. So he basically had this, these shell companies set up. This is where the 10% to the big man came from, right? All of this money that was being poured into him within the emails that were leaked from Hunter Biden's laptop, we know for sure at least com from the documentation that was shown to us, that he had a relationship with these energy companies, with companies in China, with companies in Ukraine, with companies all over the countries in the, in the worlds that we are both enemies and allies. With, that he was doing business dealings with paddling, the influence of his father. Our current sitting president of the United States, we know this during the time that he was vice President with Barack Obama, there is all of this paper trails. You can go and find every one of these emails that I'm talking about online today. Okay? Now what we'll find out here is if Marjorie Taylor Green is not. Brought to court and brought on by a unbelievable litigation case as a result of this singular tweet that she just made. We know everything that she just said is accurate. Then if Joe Biden does not immediately take her to court and bring her to the cleaners, right, but just wash her out with millions of dollars in a defamation lawsuit, we know 100% that what she said there is true, right? Why would the sitting president allow a congresswoman to come out and say these things without having a rebuttal? Well, the reason that Joe Biden has not come out and said anything about this is because he does not want to draw any more attention to this factual conversation that is going on. Right. We know absolutely based on the emails, we know absolutely. Based on the documentation that came out from Hunter Biden's laptop, that there he was pedaling the influence of his father for money. As long as the big guy means what we believe it means, which obviously why would they have a code word for the person that they're paying if they're doing legitimate business dealings. Right. Does that make any sense to you? Right, so, so the things that she's talking about we're familiar with, but to know now that Congress is having hearings over this, that there's an oversight committee looking through 2000 pages of financial documents, tracing back the payments through the Biden family and tracing it back to companies like Barisma, tracing it back to companies like. Uh, like all of the Chinese Shell corporations that she's alluding to here, all of the, all of the, the things that are going on within the Hunter Biden laptop, we know 100% that these things are true. If she's not brought to court for this, right, you are not going to have a congresswoman who has 3.6 million views on a video calling out the president of the United States for human trafficking without a defamation lawsuit. So if she is not brought to court for this, we know it's, it's obviously something that he is scared of having come out right now. You even go, uh, you even go through the documentation like, and you, and you look at some of the replies that they have here, and it's just like, it's very apparent that Twitter is obviously, uh, very. Overwhelmed with l Liberal, uh, accounts or bo accounts that are just like tar and feathering her from the, the replies that she has in here, but 3.6 million views on the congresswoman coming out and saying these things. Um, and, and somebody, the very, very first comment on this, so we'll see if this has any, I haven't read through this yet, but it says something is up. Uh, somebody commented on this from, uh, yesterday and says, uh, what the very top comment says was Jordan's, Jim Jordan is who this is talking about. It says Jordan's team just got exactly what they are looking for. All right. Now this has a, a fair amount of, uh, traction. So let's see what this is about. Um, but it says, house Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan believes that there's a seismic shift regarding allegations against Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Jordan suggests something is up with the probe because of new interest in the story by many of the same media outlets that initially dismissed reports of corruption evidence stemming from materials and emails taped from a laptop he reportedly abandoned at a computer store in Delaware in 2019. Right, exactly. What's your boys say in here? Well, what happened to that is you have had 51 intelligence officers sign a letter saying that Hunter Biden's story was Russian misinformation when it wasn't. And that changed. I think anyone can make a credible argument that, um, that altered the outcome of the election and we no longer have Donald Trump in the White House because he was doing that. He was pushing back on China for the first time, and now we have Joe Biden there and it's exactly the opposite direction Jordan said. So that's what happened. That's why this is all connected because the influence of big media, big tech, and big government in impacting our election. I think we said this last week. Sean, my colleagues had this in the committee for a few weeks ago, Matt Gaetz. He said, when will the, when will the FBI stay out of elections and let us, the people decide. In 2016, they went after Trump's campaign, 2018. It was a Mueller investigation. 2020, they suppressed the Hunter Biden story. 20 22 91 days before the midterm election, they raid his home, and now just two weeks ago, three days after he announces his 2024 race. They name a special council and it's not just anybody, it's Jack Smith and the record that he has of weaponizing the government to go after the people. Um, so now what I find to be interesting about this is that what he's talking about there is the F B i going to Facebook, right? We were recall this from the Mark Zuckerberg, Joe, or, uh, Joe Rogan interview. Mark Zuckerberg went on Joe Rogan and said that the FBI came to all of the social media outlets and said that they should not run a story about Hunter Biden and that it was Russian misinformation, right? They said they were not gonna give you the specifics, but there's a story that's gonna come out about Hunter Biden and it's Russian disinformation. Now, what we found even more so from a, a different conversation that I don't exactly recall the, the, the source of, but I recall another podcast that came out from somebody that was on the inside that talked about the fact that they ran actual drills with social media. The FBI did. The FBI basically said we're going to have all of these large journalists, a part of these drills that we run. And one of the drills was Russian misinformation surrounding Hunter Biden. So they were priming the journalists, priming the outlets, priming the social media companies to know that when there was something that leaked about Hunter Biden, because they knew it was gonna come out, that it was going to be Russian disinformation. So this goes on to say from Jim Jordan, it sure looks like Joe Biden was involved. Jordan edited. So my, how this history has changed and now we find out these text messages and emails that linked lengthy entire family, not just Hunter and Joe, but also Uncle Joe's, brother James Biden is involved in this. Jordan also spoke over the weekend about how he believes Republican district attorneys will likely seek to prosecute Biden or members of his family after Manhattan. District Attorney Alvin Braggs weaponized prosecution of Donald Trump. One of my Republican cos has indicated that he has had some local das approach him and says that he's trying to do just that. Uh, he went on to say that I didn't wanna see what happened in the Manhattan DA's office, but now that we've crossed that line, that's where we're, it's likely to. Right. When you see these things happen to, to Donald Trump and that, that that's the problem that happens in all of these things, right? That's the problem with censorship online. That's the problem with weaponizing the da. That's the problem with weaponizing the fbi. That's the problem with going into a, a President's home address and searching his home for documents that you don't know whether or not they're there or whether or not it's prosecutable for the documents that he had there, because there was allegedly classified documents in Donald Trump's home, but there was also allegedly documents in Joe Biden's home. So the second that you start to cross these lines, right, the second everything becomes blurred, and the second you weaponize the f b I, now it's the pendulum always goes back, right? So, so as soon as, as soon as you are screaming from the rooftops for censorship against the opposite side of the political spectrum, you have to know eventually it's gonna come for you. Eventually it's going to come for something that you said it doesn't work one way. Right, and, and, and knowing the history of the United States and the way that our, our presidential elections work is that it's never democrat, democrat, democrat, democrat, democrat that gets elected. There's never 20 straight years where Democrat's getting elected. There's never 20 straight years where a Republican gets elected. So you have to know that the political, the, the pendulum is going to swing back the opposite direction. So when you go after Donald Trump, people are gonna go after Joe Biden and his family only. When we're talking about Joe Biden, it seems like there's so much legitimate, factual information that has come out that's prosecutable, that there's very likely that he and his family should actually go to jail compared to Donald Trump when the al they're doing is grasping for straws with the stormy Daniel. So I don't wanna bore you with the rest of this article, but there's just two more statements left. But obviously what he's alluding to and what Marjorie Taylor, Taylor Green is alluding to is that his uncle's involved with this, where he got payouts, hunter Biden got payouts right, all within that laptop situation, which it's unbelievable that it's taken three years for them to sift through that shit because I did it in a single podcast episode and knew exactly what was going on, including Hunter Biden, uh, engaging in some type of gross incestuous relationship, allegedly with his niece. Oh, and also, you know, fornicating with his dead brother's ex-wife. All of that. Right. Um, so Brad came under heavy fire in recent weeks since Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. The Manhattan grandeur jury indicted Trump on 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records related to the adult film Star Stormy Daniels. Yeah. Okay. But that's what you have to know. The pendulum always swings back. Right.  So here is the next statement that came from Marjorie Taylor Green. This was in a separate hearing, which I find to be quite hilarious. , but kind of a drop to mic moment from her. It's like if you had to have somebody on your team from politics, right? From, from the political sphere. Right now, I think Marjorie Taylor Green's kind of a boss right now. Uh, I'm sure there's,  , everybody wants to point to the Jewish space space lasers.  I, I've never actually seen that quote. , but every quote or or every video that I've seen of her talking, you know, her, her talking about the elites, her talking about, , all of the craziness that's been happening over the last several years does PR seems to be pretty on point. And this seems to be pretty on point for the mainstream media to, uh, try to deeg legitimize somebody who's in a position to actually change the narrative. So here is Marjorie Taylor Green. Being silenced in the committee after accusing Mayor, mayor, co mayor. Who the hell is this guy? Um, he's honorable mayor cause, um, but uh, of lying and that's the Hill article. So what I've found, I've talked about this already. The Hill has become biased, left wing media for a very long time. The Hill seemed to be straddling the line of center. And now ever since they got rid of their previous anchor who had anything to say that didn't align with their certain beliefs, all of the headlines seem to be pulling punches on the left and pushing and, and throwing haymakers at the right. The hill has been compromised if you used to get your information from the Hill, which, you know, I have. I've been watching videos from them for a, a very long time on this podcast, at least for the last year. There's been a shift in their journalism over the last, I would say, Five months, maybe ever since. Uh, I, I cannot recall the name of the anchor that they got rid of, but ever since that happened, it seems to me that there's been a fairly consistent amount of left wing headlines, um, on their part. So, uh, take this, the positioning of this article with a grain of salt, but know that it does come from the hill. All right. All right, so here is the article and it's titled Marjorie Taylor Green Silenced, um, during a hearing, um, after accusing mayors of lying, and she didn't accuse him of lying, Marjorie Taylor, Marjorie Taylor Green came out, and after this man tried to throw mud, she threw an entire, uh, hill of dirt on this man. She, she went after him. Um, so let's, let's watch this video and, and see what happened.   I gentleman yields, uh, I now recognize Mr. Swalwell from California for his five minutes Question Congress. Mr. Checker, do you wanna respond to the, can I take 20 seconds? Yep. To say that, okay. So it was actually with, uh, Swalwell. And what she does is Eric Swalwell and he thinks he's calling out Marjorie Taylor Green, Donald Trump and Jim Jordan over remarks about the F FBI saying, defund the F B I, which after what we've seen and the persecution of Donald Trump over what is seemingly a misdemeanor crime at best, even if he's guilty, which we're still yet to be seen, which is just silly to go after a former president for. But we've seen the weaponization of the F fbi, which led them to have some campaigning and some, you know, Marjorie Taylor Green, uh, talks about, you know, has this apparel where it's hats and t-shirts that is defund the F B I. So he brings up this big poster board, like he's in fifth grade with these, this hat and this shirt from Marjorie Taylor Green talking about defund the fbi. And here we go. They're doing nothing is an absolute falsehood. We are taking it to the cartels. Do I think that nearly 58,000 fentanyl overdose deaths in 2020 are quote unquote justifiable? This department has worked to stop the trafficking of narcotics since its very inception, and we both know very well that the drug problem in this country requires a two-pronged approach to address the supply and to address the demand. And this fight continues and we are taking it to the cartels in an unprecedented way. An operation Blue Lotus that we launch in the middle of March is one powerful example of what we are doing to only increase our effort to address this scourge that is killing so many Americans. But to say that we are doing nothing is unequivocally false. Uh, law enforcement officers are under tremendous invited, the author of this tweet, well, the gentleman yield, well, the gentleman yield. Well concerned about all here. He's people on this committee and their own anti-police rhetoric. This is a defund, the FBI campaign effort. Again, thousands of FBI agents who work hard every day to take bad guys off the streets. In fact, after the FBI rated Mar-a-Lago, someone armed the teeth, went to an FBI field office to try and kill FBI agents. I'm also concerned that the chairman of the Judiciary Committee invited a witness when you could have any person who walks this earth as a chairman of a committee to come in and testify. The chairman of the judiciary committee invited the author of this tweet. Well, the gentleman yield. Will the gentleman yield? Will the gentleman yield? Mr. Chairman? Mr. Chairman personal inquiry is interrupting. He's not yielding. The gentleman is rec recognized. So it concerns me that there is this anti-police rhetoric that's happening among some in the MAGA Republican party because. They vote against police funding that was included in the Covid relief package. They vote against police reform efforts that would put millions of dollars in community police officers on our street. They vote and are against the union protections that allow them to collectively bargain. And as we honor the hundreds of January 6th officers who, all right, so we're gonna have to find something different here because they only wanted to show one side of that conversation and not her response. So it's comical how difficult it is to navigate fucking YouTube to find basic Senate hearings. Um, let's see here. This is the Gentle Lady from Georgia, Ms. Green. That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, and everyone knows it, but thanks for I move to take our words down. Completely inappropriate. Yeah. Stand by just a second while we research the rule. Um, gimme just a second. Okay. All right, so let's go back. So, so we heard his remarks. Now let's hear her remarks because obviously they don't want you to hear this in secession. So here is Marjorie Taylor Green responding to Eric Sowell's res, uh, comments about the F B I situation. And here we. That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, and everyone knows it. But thanks for I move to take our words down. No, no. This how this man does not defend himself. He does not say that's not true. He doesn't say that he never did that. He says, I move to take her words down. That's inappropriate. Don't bring up my sexual relationship with a Chinese spy when I'm calling you out about your silly hats. I don't appreciate that was his response there. So let's, let's let this clip play on, but here we go. Completely inappropriate. Yes. Stand by just a second while we research the rule. Um, gimme just a second. Uh, gimme a second while I search the rule, um, whether or not we're going to allow Chinese spy sexual relationships within the committee here at this congressional hearing. Hold on one second. Let me check that rule. I, I wonder if there is a rule. Section four, uh, subsection three says that when somebody brings up a sexual relationship with the Chinese spy, that we must strike that from the record. Sir, I need to reclaim my, make sure I have my full five minutes. They're like, Hey, don't, don't, don't let her talk about me. In that Chinese spy. We had a great sexual relationship, but we don't need everybody talking about it. Everybody's just dead silent after her remark. That's hilarious. She just shut this whole place down. A motion has been made. The gentleman will, uh, the committee will suspend and the gentleman will state the words that he wishes, taken down everything that the gentle lady from Georgia has said, no, you need to be more specific Accusations of an affair with a Chinese spy. Those are engaging in personalities, and they sh those words should be taken down and the gentle lady should not be able to speak anymore in this hearing. That is, that is not an, the latter part of that is not an appropriate motion, but we will evaluate the striking of those words. So they, this man had to repeat the fact that he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy so that they would strike it. They needed him. I, I hope they didn't even need him to, to, to repeat that. And they just did it out of like sheer appreciation for what Marjorie Taylor Green just did there. Excuse me, sir, could you tell me one more time what you would like us to strike from the record? Is it the fact that you had sex with a Chinese spy? Because if it is, you need to say it out of your own mouth. You dirty man. Gimme just a second. No, I will not. Let's see, let's see. So Georgia, and asks if she would like to retract those words. No, I will not. Again, notice how this man doesn't argue against it, but he just wants them to strike it from the record as inappropriate. Well, maybe your relationship with the Chinese spy was inappropriate, sir. Not just the statement that came out of her mouth. Maybe it was just the action itself. Man, this is silent for a very long time. Nobody's talking at all. Uh, from day one, the gentleman, the gentleman from Mississippi is recognized. Um, I don't think there's any question. Uh, what the young lady said. I've been on this committee, uh, from day one. Uh, we've never had an accusation, uh, made of any member like that, and I'm appalled at it. We all ought to be embarrassed at it. We are better committed than, than what the general lady is trying to make of this committee. So I appeal the ruling of the chair. The ruling of the chair has been appealed. We will now gentleman moves.  Okay, there's the statement. She came out and called this man out for the things that he actually did, and sh they were mad about it. Um, so there you have it. Marjorie Taylor Green is an absolute boss. Um, this man was just mad that he got caught red handed having sex with a Chinese spy. Um, and during his marriage, Now there was an entire recorded hearing about it on a congressional committee where it was, you know, recorded for all to hear. So there is that. All right, now the next thing that we're gonna discuss, let's, let's go ahead and move on from that, that took a while. Um, but Planned Parenthood Communications Director committed suicide after police launched an investigation into him for participating in child pornography. Right? So they raided his apartment building, they'd launched an investigation into this communications director of Planned Parenthood, and as a result, this man took his own life. So, obviously it's sad, it's tragic when anybody takes their own life, but not generally when it's on the same day that somebody rates your house for child pornography. So this goes on to say that the former director of strategic communications at the Southern New England Branch of Planned Parenthood took his own life amid a child pornography investigation in Connecticut last week. Police have not named abortion advocate, Tim Yuu, 36 years old as the sub subject in the pro, but confirmed that the man who committed suicide in his apartment building was a subject, um, Juu, 36 years old, took his own life five days after an apparent botched attempt by police to take him into custody. Investigators broke down the door of his neighbor in New Haven, Connecticut and handcuffed her before realizing they had rated the wrong apartment. The person who died was definitely the suspect in the child pornography investigation and the person who committed SU suicide. New Haven Police Chief Carl Jacobson told. The New Haven Register was this man Urgo appeared to post regularly on social media until December of 2022. Pictures of his godchildren, family, friends, and work events lay bear his life in the months prior to his death. Now, what a coincidence that the very same man who delegitimizes the life of infants and babies and children within the womb of mothers also seemed to devalue that life later when they were actually children by taking advantage of them sexually through child pornography. Interesting how that subsection between far left liberalism, trans ideology, LGBTQ plus sae, whatever, however many letters you wanna put behind that. Always followed within the realm of what we're seeing with a high probability it when there's news articles coming out about, you know, these types of things that maybe they lie on that side of it. And here he is holding a pride flag, um, which again, there's no correlation to me between gay people, lesbians, and, uh, the ad taking advantage of children, but it seems to be a correlation between some of the other movements. Now, uh, ergo has been working as the marketing and communications director for the Long Wharf Theater and previously worked for Planned Parenthood.  That's all I'm gonna go into on that. But pretty wild. The police raid this apartment building and got the wrong house, put this woman in handcuffs, and just, a short period after that, this man ends up committing suicide. So, I'm sure he was very concerned about them getting the actual right building and, you know, We'll go from there. So, um, let's move on after that. Pretty terrible story overall, but she said that they literally came up the third to the third floor. If they had been watching him, they would have seen my son and I coming and going. She said, um, she had filed a complaint and said police tried to connect her with a mental health services, but she declined. I was planning on going down there and talking to him, talking about her neighbor before realizing he'd taken his own life. I just thought that maybe a small act of compassion might help. Yeah. Little did you know, right? Uh, safe to say that this man went to hell, some would say. Right. Took his own life. You know, hell is a good place. Somebody else said, thanks for saving us time and money.  So next up is John Federman, the Senator. And he is now coming back from a short time period where he was away for medical leave, for depression, and now here he is at his very first committee hearing seemingly, uh, losing his ability to read at a first grade level. Uh, when it comes to words that are sitting in front of. All right, so next up is John Federman, the senator who had his very first committee hearing, uh, after a short period of medical leave for depression. And here he is stumbling over a piece of paper in front of him that obviously somebody else wrote. What's a, what's, what I find to be more frustrating than almost anything about politics in politicians is that they don't even fake it anymore. They don't even pretend to be saying the words that they're speaking, right? That to have come up with these words that they're, they're, they're talking about, right? They don't even pretend to have written them themselves. They, even if they wanna put it on a piece of paper and write out your statements, that's fine, but this man. Write any of this either. Does Joe Biden when it comes to his speeches, none of it, all of it's a facade. All of it is puppeteering, all of it is somebody else writing these speeches and in these men and women of politics, just saying whatever is in front of them instead of what they actually feel. Which is more frustrating than anything. I don't, I don't know how a single person could back somebody like that, let alone somebody who can't even read the words that somebody else wrote for them. So that's what we see from John Federman here and Nutrition Specialty Crops, organics and Research to order Chairwoman Stephenk and Ranking Member Boozman. Thank you so much for coming. I thank you for your leadership on this committee and I look forward to working with you to pass a farm. A farm bill that works for small farm farmers, rural communities, and hungry Americans. I would also like to thank my raking member, Senator Braun, and I look forward to working closely with you. Snap is one of the most effective programs to fight hunger and pirate in the country. In my time and effort in iis as the mayor in I to lieutenant, this man couldn't even say in office in iis, and you hear the tonality coming out of his voice, right? He couldn't even say farm correctly. It's, it's almo. It's, it's so embarrassing that this man is representing our country, that is representing an entire state, an entire state, that this man is sitting here fumbling over his words that couldn't pass a first grade spelling bee. And he's sitting here insulting these people's ears by not even being able to read the words that are in front of him, like office and farm. Hey, governor, to now I have heard from Pennsylvanians about their support for a snap. Hunger is not a Republican or a Democrat issue. It's all of our issue that we have to take it on. We need to come together and stop playing political games with American. We need to come together and stop playing political games. Hunger is not an issue that is Republican or Democrat. It is an issue for all of us humans to tackle, to gather that the food Americans like Chair about glory. J from the now, the town of Northeast in Pennsylvania tells me that his victim was skimming, which was was somebody what? Fuck. Just came out of your mouth, sir. What? You cannot tell me that that was English. I wanna listen to that one more time. You can absolutely not tell me that. That right there was the English language to come together and stop playing political games. Listen to this, Americans access to food. Americans like Chair about Glory. J. From the now to the town of Northeast in Pennsylvania, Americans about town. AJ from the American Northeast about the pen. Pen. Pennsylvania tells me that his victim was skimming, which was when somebody stole money and he relied from its Snap, E b T. Mr. Joy is not the first Pennsylvanian I have heard this from. I fear he won't be the last. And I will work in this farm Bill to modernize snap to work to recipients in the 21st century. I look forward to from hearing from you your witness on this estrogen for assistance on the farm Bill and I will now turn to Senator Bra for any opening comments that he would like to make. Oh my God. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Thanks to our witnesses for being here today. Uh, this is the second Congress that I'm serving as a ranking member on this subcommittee. I'm excited to return to the subcommittee and I'm looking forward to working with Chairman Federer defined bipartisan solutions. Yeah, you are. We're meeting today as part of the committee's consideration of the 2023 Farm Bill, and the bill will cost us more than it ever has in history, and I wanna make. That if we're spending more, we do it efficiently. Earlier this year when Secretary Vilsack testified before the committee, this is like one of those situations where everybody knows what's going on. Like where you have the high school basketball team and they like all, let the kid with a mental handicap come out and pretend like he's playing against them and makes the basket, and then everybody runs into the court. Only it's politics and this man can't read. That's, that's exactly what's going on here. Right? Like you've seen the clips and, and obviously great that children do that in high school, but maybe we shouldn't have somebody.  Oh, he has depression. Oh, whatever. Right? But maybe you shouldn't be representing an entire state if you can't read basic first grade English. Maybe that's the case, right? If you can't sit in front of you and have a piece of paper and read off of it properly and convincingly, maybe I don't want you taking my tax hours and giving it to some stupid thing that you want to give it to, right? And you see just the, the, the vast difference between him and the person that follows up with him. Ready? I asked him as a former governor if he was concerned with runaway spending, and let's see what else we can get from this man. Bipartisan support, including betterman. Where you at with me really highlights ACEs are not incentivized to invest in the thank. Thank you Mr. Woodford. Chairman Federman, ranking member Braun and subcommittee members. Thank you for allowing me to testify today. Independent Senator, Senator Gillibrand for. Right. Emergency food assistance to low income individuals. And these individuals may not qualify for snap, but they might need additional support. Food banks like Phillip residents, and knowing personally they're the kind of quality of the work that you do. In my own state, they distribute 85% of TFA foods nationwide. As Americans struggle with high food costs, how have you been able to allow you to continue to provide food support? Yeah. Um, thank you for the question. Um, and the reality is that food banks like Phil Abundance our partners across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and really across the country, um, we, okay. Again, how embarrassing that we have somebody in a position of power in, in that was. Voted into office, right? And, and some people talked about the fact that this man basically got put into office because somebody else who was elected was actually dead when they were elected, which it wouldn't surprise me at this point because they probably would've still done a better job of reading this document in front of this man, even if they were incapacitated completely than what this man just tried to read off and insult our ears with. So again, I don't know when we got shifted from our timeline from a true reality into a comedy, but this is an exact example of what I'm talking about there, right there. There's no reason that anybody should be allowed in office if you cannot read a physical document in front of you. It's, it's, it's so silly to me that this is even has to become a conversation that maybe, maybe you should have to take a second grade reading test if you are put into a position of power in Congress, in Senate as a president. I dunno, maybe you should be able to read to the second grade level, but apparently that's not the case. All right, so let's go ahead and watch this clip here from The View. This is Patty Luon, um, comparing us Christians to the Taliban. But before we watch that, I need you to do one thing.

This before, and I'm gonna get in trouble, but I have said this before and it's been in print. I don't know what the difference between our Christian right and the Taliban is. I have no idea what the difference is. You're not the only person who's said that. I don't, I just don't know what the difference is. Yeah. What's happening in this country right now in the name of religion is so dangerous. So let's address that this woman. Just said she doesn't know what the difference is be between Christianity and the Taliban. Well, let's make some comparisons here. The Taliban reduces femininity down to the point where they're incapable of doing anything on their own. The conservative Christians just don't even identify what A can't even tell you what a woman is, right? Not only that, but they diminish the value of, of what a human life is to where, you know, just like the Taliban, they can kill you at ease. The, the, the Christian right doesn't even want you to survive as un until you're born as a human. Right? Oh, wait, that's not the Christian, right? That is the Democrats. This woman just came out and said that the Christian right is the same as the Taliban. Well, if that's the case, I would appreciate my 80 billion of military equipment because I think almost every Christian conservative would want that too. But it, it would only come from somebody with this type of haircut where they would make such a stupid statement like that. So this Karen in overalls and a collared dress shirt decided to call anybody who's a Christian conservative. Anybody who believes that, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't have abortion, maybe religion should, should be acceptable in de general public is now a part of the Taliban because we shouldn't end human life. From my experience, the Taliban. Definitely about ending human life, right? The, the, the Taliban is definitely all about, it's, it's okay to stop women from having rights. It's okay to stop women from, I don't know, going to school, having jobs, showing their face, showing their hair, right? The, the liberal left doesn't even want to give a definition to what women are, let alone actually give them rights. So, you know, I think this woman is a little, a little misguided in her perception of what it actually means, um, of, of what she's even saying. And Whoopy Goldberg coming in and saying, you know, you're not the first person to say that. You're not the first person to say that. Mm. I haven't heard any other clips like this one. So maybe you are the first person stupid enough to say those words out of your mouth on public television. Um, and Whoopy Goldberg just propping her up and giving her backup on this statement should, should be all of the, the leverage, uh, that you need to know that everything that's come out of this woman's mouth ever is just full of shit and just divisive and wants to further divide the left and the right from any type of community. This before, and I'm gonna get in trouble, but I have said this before and it's been imprint. I don't know what the difference between our Christian right and the Taliban is. I have no idea what the difference is. You're not the only person who has said that. I don't. And the award for the most ridiculous thing ever goes to her. All right, so that is all I have for you guys today. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart so much. All right, and that is all I have for you today.

One gets the sense that Seneca, like many smart and active people, was often frustrated by other people. It is inevitable that someone like him—someone creating art, actively participating in government, managing properties, etc—would have regularly found his interest and his will thwarted. Perhaps a neighbor opposed some changes he was making to his land. Or an intriguing enemy at the palace sought to undermine him with the emperor. Maybe his brother jostled for an inheritance. Maybe he bumped into a rude person in the street.These are timeless and common occurrences. And, quite naturally, they are prone to make us angry—especially if we impute the least charitable motivations on the other party.---And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan answers questions about Stoicism at Andrews Air Force Base, The topics he covers include how Stoicism can be applied to a wide variety of professions, using Stoicism to embrace your emotions, and the Stoic view on work/life balance.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail

Most teenagers' default setting is mimetic desire. Before online technologies were ubiquitous, teens would mimic the behavior of familial or social influences to shape their morality and conduct. During times of quiet reflection, they indulged in self-assessment. But with social media algorithms designed to manipulate the mind through wasted time, there are entire age groups that are becoming externally referenced. To discover ways to retain our individualism, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author and professor Dean Rickles PhD. Dean offers a philosophical and psychological look into the damaging effects of social media on social connections. He shares the core principles from his book Life is Short: An Appropriately Brief Guide to Making it More Meaningful as examples of how death can be a driver to embark on a richer, more meaningful life.  Dean Rickles PhD — Forging a Meaningful Life: Dean describes the focus of his Seneca-esque book Life is Short: An Appropriately Brief Guide to Making it More Meaningful and shares why he canceled his social media accounts.

Vitaliy Katsenelson is the CEO and Chief Investment Officer of IMA and the author of three books. His most recent book is “Soul in the Game: The Art of a Meaningful Life.” Vitaliy was born in Murmansk, Russia, and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1991. In this interview, Vitaliy contrasts his experience growing up in the Soviet Union with his experience in the United States, and how different his mindset was in each place. He also discusses how Stoic philosophy has been very helpful. He discusses how his essay about Tchaikovsky aims to help others who may be struggling with creativity. Listen in for a vibrant discussion on intention, communication, and vulnerability.   https://bit.ly/TLP-355   Key Takeaways   [1:53] Vitaliy's bio. (See at the end of the show notes.) [2:22] Vitaliy loves investing, writing, classical music, and spending time with his family, Vitaliy's father is a fantastic artist and Vitaliy has a small gallery of his work. [3:49] How Vitaliy sees the differences between Murmansk, Russia, and Denver, Colorado. Denver has lots of sunshine. In the winter, Murmansk has a few minutes of sunshine a day. When Vitaliy lived there, it was Soviet Russia. Freedom of speech and the free market did not exist in Russia. All businesses were owned by the government. Here we have an abundance of food and a lack of scarcity. [6:56] Vitaliy shares thoughts on how Russians and Americans communicate. He read How to Win Friends and Influence People when he was 18 in Russia. He hated the book and felt it was teaching him how to be fake. He read it again 20 years later and was shocked by how brilliant it is. He is re-reading it with his 17-year-old daughter and she loves it. She has an American mindset. [8:06] When Vitaliy came to the U.S. he found that  Americans are very indirect and smile all the time, contrasted with Russians who are sometimes painfully direct. Vitaly was fired from his first American job. The man firing him was smiling at him, which was a confusing signal. Vitaly fine-tuned himself to a balance between directness and indirectness. He tries not to criticize people so his message is clearly received. [9:10] If Vitaliy has a criticism, he first tries to make sure to tell the person positive things.  Then he structures the criticism as constructive feedback. He learned that from Dale Carnegie and living in the U.S. for 30 years. Vitaliy says if he had continued to communicate in the Soviet Russian style, he could not have achieved anything in the U.S. [10:43] Vitaliy's intentionality comes from the conscious choice to be mindful. To have a work/life balance you just have to be mindful about having the balance. Vitaliy knew he wanted to be a good father to his children. He made a mindful choice to spend more time with his children. He chooses to drive his children to school before going to work on a busy day. [12:38] Vitaliy has a value to be a good father. To live up to the value he has to be mindful about being with his children. If he just went on autopilot, he would just default to the easiest things to do which for him is working 10-hour and 12-hour days. To be mindful, he stops after eight hours. When he gets home and has dinner with his kids, he's not looking at his phone. He's present with them, giving them attention. [14:26] To live a meaningful life, figure out exactly what you value and spend your time according to your values. [15:32] Vitaliy sees value in simplicity. [16:50] As Vitaliy was working on the last chapter of his book, he put it on pause to study and write on Stoicism. He studied Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca. Epictetus taught a framework that some things are up to you and some things aren't. What is up to you are your values and how you behave. Everything else is external and is not up to you. Don't try to control what is out of your control. [19:03] Vitaliy's 17-year-old daughter just got her first job at a coffee shop. She finds a co-worker annoying. Vitaliy asked her if she expected every co-worker to be perfect. It's not up to you how other people are. Vitaliy finds this framework to be simple and elegant; if you embrace the Stoic philosophy it will reduce the volatility and negativity in your life. [20:27] When he learned Stoic philosophy, Vtaliy realized he had made choices in the past unconsciously that were aligned with Stoic philosophy. Adopting Stoic philosophy intentionally has changed his life. He wrote that section of the book as much for himself as for the reader. [21:51] Every three to four months, Vitaliy sends his clients a 30-page letter in a story-telling format. As an experiment, once he sent the letter in a condensed format of brief bullet points. Eighty percent of his clients preferred the long letter. It was easier for them to read in stories than in bullet points. [23:33] You want to be very careful on the receiving side of storytelling and people who are terrific speakers. They appeal to your emotions. Stoics break down the message to its bare bones, to the bullet points. There is a conflict between Stoics and Sophists. Vitaliy acknowledges he is a Sophist in storytelling. At the same time, his values are Stoic. Sophists hijack the message and they may not have good values. [24:56] When Vitaliy encounters terrific communicators, he is very cautious to make sure the way they communicate does not impact his decision-making. [26:17] Music is an incredibly important part of Vitaliy's life. He has written essays on the music that was important to him at any year of his life. Vitaly gets up every day at 4:30 or 5:00 and writes for two hours while listening to classical music in his headphones. Those two hours every day are very special to Vitaliy. Listening to classical music while he writes has helped his creativity tremendously. [28:07] Vitaliy's kids made him appreciate chess. It's one of the few games he likes playing with them. His daughter invited him to play after watching The Queen's Gambit. After a game, they review the moves, trying to find the solution for the best move possible at any point. It makes an intellectually honest discussion. Jan notes it's like a military after-action review (AAR). Both become better players. [30:34] Writing music is a very creative activity. When you listen to classical music, think about how difficult it was for the composer to write it. Tchaikovsky left behind many letters to his brother and his friends. His letters describe how he struggled to compose his music. Vitaliy's book came about because he had been writing an essay about one of Tchaikovsky's pieces of music. [31:45] Vitaliy read Tchaikovsky's letters and realized that the suffering the composer went through was so similar to the suffering Vitaliy goes through as a writer. He wrote an essay comparing the struggles of Tchaikovsky to the struggles a creative writer goes through. [32:11] When Vitaliy finished the essay, he realized other struggling writers could be helped by reading it. Over the years, he had written many essays that could help others. So he put them together in a book. [32:45] When you study the lives of composers, you listen to music very differently. You feel the pain they felt as they were writing. You realize that you will have some very difficult times creating, and as long as you love writing, pain is just part of the journey. The lives of the composers made Vitaliy appreciate classical music so much more. There is an incredible amount of hard work, pain, and struggle in creativity. [34:52] Vitaliy finds that parenting and leadership have parallels. But leadership mistakes don't haunt you for the rest of your life! Vitality exposes his kids to new things all the time. They watch YouTube videos on various subjects. He introduces them to new books all the time. They discuss different topics and he doesn't talk down to them. He is interested to know what they think. [35:56] As a parent and as a leader, it's important to be vulnerable. You admit that you don't have all the answers. When you communicate, spend most of the time in the scientist mode. Whatever you're looking at is a theory. You are trying to discover truth. [36:59] When you make a mistake you admit it. Then your employees will be more comfortable admitting they made mistakes as well. [37:45] Vitaliy shares a link where you can hear his podcasts and read his articles.  [38:23] Closing quote: Remember, “Do not act as if you had 10,000 years to throw away. Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power.” — Marcus Aurelius   Quotable Quotes “If you insult a person first and then you give them a message, that message will never arrive.” “My daughter and I are reading [How to Win Friends and Influence People] together … and she loves the book!” “Being around your kids while you are reading Financial Times on your iPhone is not being around your kids. Attention is a currency of time. So it's when I give them that attention, when I'm present, that's very, very important.” “There is so much value in simplicity.”  “If you waste your energy trying to control things that are not up to you, you're going to have one miserable life. You're going to have this emotional rollercoaster of being upset.” “I would argue that if you embraced Stoic philosophy, what it does, it would just reduce the volatility; it would reduce negativity in your life. And by reducing negativity, it's going to make your life calmer; more peaceful.” “Listening to classical music when I write has helped my creativity tremendously. Studies were done on the subject. And they … showed that when you listen to music, … it forces your left brain and right brain to work at the same time. It basically increases your creativity.” “I have found that there are a lot of parallels between being a parent and being a leader … [but] I guess if you screw up as a leader those mistakes don't haunt you for the rest of your life.” “When you study the lives of composers, … you're going to start listening to music very differently. You're going to feel the pain Tchaikovsky felt when he was writing. … You're going to appreciate as a creator that at times you're going to have a very difficult time creating.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

Marcus Aurelius certainly hoped his reign would be peaceful and prosperous–as the fates had blessed his mentor Antoninus for 23 years. Certainly, he dreamed of growing old with all his children around him. Never would Seneca have asked for exile and loss, for Nero's descent into cruelty. Epictetus, like every child, would have hoped for a life of fun and lightness. Stockdale, as he left his family for a tour in Vietnam, no doubt envisioned returning home unscathed as soon as it was over.But as the song goes…there are some dreams that cannot be.---And today, Ryan gives you 9 habits that you should stop doing in 2023.

Length: 23 minutes 35 secondsSynopsis: In this episode we examine the practice of making a vow to Hashem at a time of distress - one of the major themes in Tehilim 116, which we recite in Hallel. We compare and contrast this to Seneca's views on gratitude (which align with Judaism) and his attitude towards vows (which does not). We focus on the real-world example of R' Sinai Adler, who made such a vow to Hashem at the gates of the crematoria of the Mauthausen, which he devoted his life to fulfilling after being saved.
