Joe Heschmeyer addresses one of the most common verses cited in arguments against the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery; I’m Joe Heschmeyer. At the end of the Bread of Life Discourse. Jesus says, it is the spirit that gives life. The flesh is of no avail. The words that I’ve spoken to you are spirit and life. Okay? Does that mean that everything Jesus had just said about eating his flesh and drinking his blood is just a metaphor? In this episode, I’m going to show that reading John six in that way doesn̵…

Joe Heschmeyer addresses Christ’s use of parables in the Gospels and the contention around apparent biblical ambiguities as they relate to Protestants, Catholics, and non-Christians. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. I was recently asked a really interesting question, why wasn’t Jesus clearer? And the person who asked me, I don’t actually know their faith background. So I can imagine two versions of this question. One would be the non-Christian or the non-believer of whatever Stripe who says, why doesn’t God manifest himself a …

Joe Heschmeyer goes toe to toe with Chat-GPT, rebutting the internet’s best large language model’s arguments against Catholicism. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. I want to do something different today and specifically I wanted to try out chat GPT-4o. Now there’s a lot of different ways you can do this and I in particular want to look at arguments against Catholicism. So I have not done this yet. I actually, I’m not sure I’ve ever used chat GPT for, so this is a brand new one. I actually had to pay $20 to get a month subsc…

Some representatives of the Southern Baptist Convention announced that they’re going to push for the SBC to officially adopt the Nicene Creed. Creeds are necessary but can Baptists actually affirm the Nicene Creed in good faith? Joe Heschmeyer addresses this question and more in today’s episode of Shameless Popery. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and I want to explore a fascinating thing going on in the world of Southern Baptist. The Southern Baptist Convention is coming up and there’s a push to change what’s called the Baptist…

Joe Heschmeyer picks apart a popular 101 video on Martin Luther’s revolt, pointing out many painfully common factual inaccuracies. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. So we’re talking about the reformation, particularly the beginning of the Reformation with Martin Luther. I think a lot of people feel like they have a pretty good grip on the basic story, and the basic story tends to go something like this. On October the 31st of 1517, a Catholic monk and priest named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, German…

In this episode, Joe Heschmeyer explores the historical evidence surrounding 2 Kings 19 and the mysterious destruction of the Assyrian armies. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Hess Meyer. So I want to start with a strange passage from the Old Testament. It’s Isaiah 37, verse 36, and it says that the angel of the Lord went forth and slew 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when men arose early in the morning, behold these were all dead bodies. Then Rab King of Assyria departed and went home and dwelt at Nineveh. So this is a strange passage for a number…

Protestants sometimes object that we shouldn’t (or at least don’t need to) ask the Saints and angels for their prayers, since we can go directly to God. After all, they argue, the Temple veil that once impeded our access to God is now torn… right? That argument, which is also used against the Catholic priesthood, misinterprets this critical moment in the New Testament (and ignores the quite different way that the Epistle to the Hebrews interprets the same event). So what does it mean to say that the veil is now torn? Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m …

AI could help video game companies boost engagement and consumer spending, but could also introduce competition by making it easier for new companies to enter the industry.----- Transcription -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Matt Cost from the Morgan Stanley US Internet Team. Along with my colleagues, bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll discuss how A.I could change the video game industry. It's Tuesday, November 7th at 10 a.m. in New York. New A.I tools are starting to transform multiple industries, and it's hardly a surprise that the game industry could see a major impact as well. As manual tasks become more automated and the user experience becomes increasingly personalized, A.I. tools are starting to change the way that games are made and operated. Building video games involves many different disciplines, including software development, art and writing, among others. Many of these processes could become more automated over time, reducing the cost and complexity of making games and likely reducing barriers to entry. And since we expect the industry to spend over $100 billion this year building and operating games, there's a significant profit opportunity for the industry to become more efficient. Automated content creation could also offer more tailored experiences and purchase options to consumers in real time, potentially boosting engagement and consumer spending. Consider, for example, a game that not only makes offers when a consumer is most likely to spend money, but also generates in-game items designed to appeal to that specific person's preferences in real time. Beyond A.I generated content, we also need to consider the impact of user generated content. Some popular titles already depend on the users to shape the game around them, and this is another core area that could be transformed by A.I.. Faster and easier to use content creation tools could make it easier for games to tap into the creativity of their users. And as we've seen with major social platforms, relying on users to create content can be a big opportunity. With all that said, these transformational opportunities create downside risk as well. Today's large game publishers rely on their scale and domain expertise to differentiate their products from competitors. But while new A.I. tools could make game development more efficient, they could also lower barriers to entry for new competitors to jump into the fray and put pressure on the incumbents. Another risk is that A.I. tools could fail to drive the hope for efficiencies and cost savings in the first place. Not all technology breakthroughs in the past have helped the industry become more profitable. In some cases, industry leaders have decided to reinvest cost savings back into their products to make sure that they deliver bigger and better games to stay ahead of the competition. With that in mind, the biggest challenge for today's industry leaders could be making sure that they find ways to differentiate their products as A.I. tools make it easier for new firms to compete. Where does all of that leave us? Although a number of A.I. tools are already being used in the game industry today, adoption is just beginning to tick up and there's a lot of room for the tools to improve. With that in mind, we think we're just on the cusp of this A.I. driven revolution, and we may have to get through a few more castles to find the princess. Thanks for listening.

Investors anticipate new legislation on tech regulation, AI and defense, amid speculation about a potential government shutdown.-----Transcription -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income and Thematic Research for Morgan Stanley. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, I'll be talking about Congress coming back in the session and its impact on markets. It's Wednesday, September 6th, at 10 a.m. in New York. Congress returns from summer break this week with a full agenda. Expect to see tons of headlines on various policies that markets care about. Tech regulation, artificial intelligence regulation, defense spending, disaster relief aid and the risk of a government shutdown, are just some of the issues that should be tackled. It can be a bit overwhelming, so here's our cheat sheet for September in D.C. to help cut through the noise and understand why this could be a good set up for U.S bonds. On tech regulation and A.I, don't expect any meaningful movement here. New versions of legislative proposals on data privacy and liability for spreading misinformation may come, but there's still no comprehensive bipartisan agreement that could turn proposals into law. So we continue to expect that this only becomes possible after the 2024 election delivers a new government makeup. On defense spending, we expect that aid to Ukraine will continue and the Congress will approve overall defense spending levels in excess of the cap set by the agreement put in place alongside the hike of the debt ceiling. There's bipartisan agreement here, with the exception of House Republicans. Resolving issues with those holdouts will likely take brinkmanship over a government shutdown and perhaps even an actual government shutdown, but ultimately we see a deal that should be positive for a defense sector which has benefited recently by elevated spending by Western governments. The biggest story to track, though, is that risk of a government shutdown. As we previously discussed on this podcast, a shutdown is a real risk because House Republicans are not in sync with the rest of the House of Representatives and Senate on spending levels for fiscal 2024. Further, there's the sense that both sides may rightly or wrongly perceive political value in a shutdown. So there's both motive and opportunity here. And while a shutdown on its own is not sufficient to ruin our economists' expectation of a soft landing for the U.S. economy, it does add some fresh downside risk to growth in the 4th quarter, which economists already expect would be challenged. Major entertainment events in the U.S. boosted consumption above expectations this summer, and those effects should start to wane at the same time that the student loan moratorium rolls off, meaning many households will again have to direct some level of their income away from consumption toward servicing loans come October 1st. Put it all together, and it's a strong rationale for our view that high grade bonds have value here. U.S. government bond yields should be near their peak, with the market moving beyond the notion that the Fed may have to hike substantially more this economic cycle. Thanks for listening.

I'm Martijn Rats, Morgan Stanley's Global Commodity Strategist. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll discuss how the 2023 global oil market story is changing. It's Tuesday, May the 9th at 4 p.m. in London. Over the last several months, the dominant narrative in the oil market was one of expected tightening in the second half. Although supply outstripped demand in the first quarter, the assumption was that the market would start to tighten from the second quarter onwards and be in deficit once again by the second half, which would lead to a rise in price. At the start of the year, this was also our thesis for how 2023 would play out. However, as of early May, it seems this narrative needs to change. The expectation of second half tightness was largely based on two key assumptions. One, that China's reopening would boost demand, and two, the Russian oil production would start to decline. By now, however, it seems that these assumptions have run their course and are in fact behind us. On China, both the country's crude imports and its refinery runs were already back at all time highs in March, leaving little room for further improvement. On Russia, oil production has fallen from recent peaks, but probably only about 400,000 barrels a day. From here, we would argue that it's becoming increasingly unlikely it will fall much further. The EU's crude and product embargoes have been in place for some time now. Russian oil that flows now will probably continue to flow. That raises the question whether the second half tightening thesis can still be sustained. After OPEC announced production cuts at the start of April, we argued that OPEC was mostly responding to a weakening in the supply demand outlook. Perhaps counterintuitive, but we lowered oil price forecasts already significantly at the time those cuts were announced. Still, with those cuts, we thought that the second half balances would be about 600,000 barrels per day undersupplied, and that that would be enough to keep Brent in the mid-to-upper $80 per barrel range. New data from this past month, however, has further chiseled away at this deficit, which we now project at just 300,000 barrels a day. This is in effect getting very close to a balanced market, and that limits upside to oil prices, at least in the near term. Even this modest undersupply now mostly depends on seasonality in demand and OPEC production cuts. However, when the second half arrives, oil prices will start to reflect expected balances for early 2024. In the first half of '24, seasonality may turn the other way and OPEC production cuts are scheduled to come to an end. Our initial estimate of 2024 balances showed the market in a small surplus, especially in the first half. Looking beyond the next 12 months, oil prices still have long term supportive factors. Demand is likely to continue to grow over the rest of the decade, while investment levels have been low for some time now. However, the structural and the cyclical don't always align, and this is one of those moments. The second half tightness thesis does not appear to be playing out, and we don't see much tightness in the period just beyond that either. We expect Brent oil prices to stay in their recent $75 to $85 per barrel range, probably skewed towards the bottom end of that range later this year when the market enters a period of seasonal softness again and OPEC's voluntary cuts come to an end.

Did you know that connecting to your doctor is literally just a text away? On this episode of the Highmark Health Care Reinvented Podcast Series, Benjamin Edelshain, MD , Vice President, Clinical Engagement & Digital Innovation at Highmark Health, gives us the whole story on how a secure mobile text messaging platform is building better patient-doctor connections for healthier outcomes.  The platform was deployed at the height of COVID-19, immediately proving its effectiveness in a world where people could not easily meet with health care providers. Ben shares some encouraging and surprising stats on how many patients are using the platform and how text messaging has improved customer engagement. Discover how a simple text message is part of an ever-growing ecosystem of engagement tools to ensure access to care.  Transcription: Welcome to Healthcare reinvented, exploring the intersection of healthcare and technology brought to you by Highmark, here are your hosts, the Pittsburgh technology Council's Audrey Russo and Jonathan Kersting. This is Jonathan Kersting. With the Pittsburgh Technology Council. This is the next episode of healthcare Reinvented, where we explore the intersections of technology and healthcare. Today's interview will be a lot of fun. It's a follow up from our previous season and today we are going to be talking to Dr. Ben Edelshain, and he's with Highmark Health. And I love the fact that that Highmark is finding ways for its patients and doctors to better connect and using technology where it makes sense. And in our first interview that we had was, I can't believe it's, I think, more than 18 months ago, and I'm so excited to follow up on this. It's all about just using the simple concept of using texting to talk back and forth with your doctor. And it sounds easier than you think, especially in the medical setting.  So I'm excited to learn a the progress of it and some new things they might be working on and get some numbers around this as well, too, just to see how effective it's been. So Ben, welcome to the show today. We're so glad to have you. And it's great to reconnect.   Yeah, Jonathan, thank you very much for having me. I'm honestly super excited to share some updates. And it's always great talking to you. And just coming back again, is a privilege and an honor. very humbled. Yeah. Looking forward to sharing some exciting stuff. And you know, following up from where we left off,. A year and a half ago, just flown by and you had a child. Congratulations.    Thank you so much. Yes, we we had our second little Clara, and she's turning one soon. So very cool. Very cool. You got to be stoked about that. Absolutely. Very cool. So before we get things kids, I'm just refreshing our listeners, maybe are they forgotten or there's the first time listening, could you give us your background and what you do with Highmark Health. Very happy to do so. So I am Ben Edelshain. I've been with Highmark, for about four years now, I'm a vice president in our enterprise clinical organization. I'm originally from the UK, hence the accent and used to be a national health service doctor back in London, but been stateside for about 10 years. And so my responsibilities at Highmark Health include kind of trying to push us to be more tech driven, more consumer focused. And then operationally I run a department to telephonic nurses who support our customers, as well as care navigate navigation as well, helping members find the best possible care. That is interesting, that's gonna be a very rewarding job, because you're actually seeing the work that you do improves the quality of patients lives. It just, I think that's going to be so much fun. I say this without any sort of sarcasm, and I love working. And I see a lot of similar missions to, you know, socialized care where I came from our country, slightly different by country and in the US. And but I think in Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, we're doing something special to try and change the paradigm. And I'm very excited to be part of that journey. So that's why I love having these conversations, because I think you said the right word. I think Highmark is doing so much to change the paradigm. I mean, the idea is using technology to empower people. And it's not just about the technology, because there's technology all over the place. But how you can apply it in a way that people can actually use it, and use it to actually make the experience better make their health better. That's why I thought it was so much fun when we first talked to you know, just detailing how using something as simple as text messaging, as a really effective way of being able to keep that connection going between doctor and patient, which is just so vital. Tell us more about how that kind of started up. And then really how this has been now it's up and running for more than a year and a half now. Yeah, so just if we rewind the clock, you know, even beyond, gosh, that year and a half ago, and you know, when COVID first broke out, right, and patients were rightly scared to go and see their doctors to engage in person with that health care. You know, what we discussed last time was we we challenged ourselves and said, Hey, look, we have this texting capability that traditionally use, you know, primarily for marketing purposes, right? We have adoption, why don't we try to juice it up and and use that one way messaging system and flip it to two way and then as people respond to us at Highmark, you know, let's have a nurse on the other end who's part of the benefit structure that I have or receives, and let's enable that nurse who's on the Highmark side, but to also be kind of that augmentative support for the doctor's practice. And, you know, for us that's, you know, really supporting our colleagues a lot to get Allegheny Health Network. But it's not it's not just a job.  So that's, that's like I didn't think about is the whole point that this is actually a way to kind of help the doctor out as well too. Because if you have a nurse that's helping out, they're able to, you know, it frees up their time to put it where it's more important, and being able to then you but still give the care to the patient at the same time. So that to me, I think is really interesting. So the docs are probably saying, Okay, this is great, it's like a little relief valve that we can talk, we can learn about something going on before it becomes a serious problem that would require someone to come in to the doctor or something like that.   I agree. And I think part of the strategy moving forward is, you know, as a former physician myself, I empathize with, you know, those still in practice where they're forced to have really short consultation time. Right, right. I'm sure as patients, we experienced that, where it feels like, you know, you have 15 minutes, and that's it. And so, you know, perhaps this evolves into what those other topics that you maybe can't fit into 15 minutes, and then, you know, take it offline, or actually take it online, right, and have it in a more digitally enabled manner, and at the convenience of the customer, right at the convenience when they want to talk about it. And so, I mean, we've so a year and a half has passed, we have had, you know, specific to these, what I would call like health conversations or clinical conversations, say, a nurse or other kind of professional, like a pharmacist or behavioral health specialist. Since going live, we've had 30,000 interactions.   Wow. Yeah, that's, that's a lot. That's awesome. Wow. You know, and to put that into context, that's just one year that was lost. And, you know, we use texting for other purposes, primarily, one way, we send about 4 million texts. You know, it's starting to become a decent chunk of Yeah. So, you know, again, changing the paradigm so that the conversation you have with your healthcare insurer, but you know, really, we're an integrated system, but the conversation you're having is more about your health and wellness, and less about your benefits and your right cetera. Exactly. Just the fact that it just keeps you in closer touch with your caregivers, I think is just so important. And you can do it in a way that's not eating into the system and just wasting people's time. But it's like, no, this is a great way that you know, something's not right, you're concerned about something you're able to easily address it before becomes that bigger problem. It just makes me sick, more convenient. And it just, I'm curious, I think this is going to keep growing. Because I mean, the first year, I mean, 30,000 interactions. That's, that's pretty amazing. To me, I'm thinking this is gonna continue to keep building, and you'll probably find more use cases for it as well.    I hope so. And we certainly have plans. And you know what? I like the elegance of the simplicity. Yeah, definitely. Text is essentially free. Right? And, you know, maybe your conversation starts with a text then goes into a secure channel where you're drinking bidirectionally. And maybe you decide, hey, I do want to talk to you, and then you set up a mutually convenient time. Exactly. My dream, my aspiration by the end of next year, is to eliminate any cold calling, that's not expected. That comes from a nurse for my health plan to okay, just like there is no reason why we can't achieve that. So, you know, part of where we're headed is okay. We think texting works. Well, we know texting works, right? I'll throw you out of fun facts. So you're familiar, obviously, as a technologist, kind of the click through rate terminology, right? industry average for texting, click throughs, about 15%, one, five. But when you start due to doing two way and having a healthcare professional on the other side, and picking the moments that matter to the customer, we're at about 30% click rate. Wow, you're doubling that. That's impressive. I mean, yeah, he's looking at a 30% engagement rate like that, click and through that you're having real conversations that I mean, this is something that people are in there. And the cool thing is when they have this good experience with it, they're gonna continue to rely on it, they're gonna see it as something that they can they can use. And I just think it builds a better relationship with your caregiver and makes you sometimes like less afraid. There's always that little bit that fear factor, the more you kind of start talking about something and the more you have to get the back and forth. I know for me, like just personally, I remember like, I've never liked going to the doctor, I remember being like, oh, I can do my virtual visits. And as I started virtual visits, I wasn't so free to actually go in and see the doctor. So I think it's it's a great way to kind of step things up as well to to get those of us who maybe have a little bit of the white coat phobia, I guess. You need an actual person that professional and, you know, maybe that comes into the a little nudge that says, you should really go see your doc. And, you know, the other added beauty over time is that, you know, with the customer, the patient's consent, like maybe we can prep the doctor right for the visit. So we know what's going to be top of mind. And what's the point? Yeah, that makes so much sense. Because like, yeah, if you're working with a nurse, and you had a, say, like a couple days of back and forth, and like, hey, why don't you come in next week, then that nurse can then provide that conversation, there's probably some detail in there that the Doc can look into, and really informs what he or she is able to, you know, do when it comes to treat the patient, and they're gonna, you're gonna get all that better care, when you're there seeing the doctor have a better experience? Well, and then, you know, as a blue plan that has a hospital system, right? So that interaction with the nurse can be transitioned into, okay. Why can't I just book you in right now? Because I have access to a very cool, true one call resolution, right? True, nice. This is all based on a very simple technology, which I think is just so awesome. Like, it's something that we're all very familiar with at this point. So Ben, tell me more about the engagement rate on this. I mean, especially across different age groups. I'm wondering, is there a difference between like younger people and older people using texting to talk with their doctors and nurses? Jonathan, that's a great question. You might actually be surprised on this. I think, you know, in our society, we have this somewhat unfair perspective, sometimes that older folks don't use technology. And what we found actually, is that when you have a healthcare professional on the other end of the phone, and you're doing two way texting, the highest engagement rate we're seeing is amongst the senior population. Interesting. I'm so happy to hear that. I think that we shouldn't underestimate kind of smartphone adoption amongst those 65 and older. And look, if you make the tech simple. And it works, and it drives again, drives value to the customer, we're seeing that senior, customers are engaging nearly double the rates that from folks who are under 65. Well, that is just fascinating. I'm curious, are there any extra security concerns around this being being that there's probably HIPAA stuff at some point, depending upon what the conversation is? Yeah, that's an excellent question, Jonathan. And I do want to make sure that it is clear to your listeners. So for us the text message, what you would see in like, iOS is the initial primer. And so it says, hey, you've got a message waiting for you. This is why it's also elegant, no download needed, it just opens up a secure browser. Gotcha. Which is like all sort of safe for the patient or the member opts in to say, Yep, I'm happy to keep going. And then, you know, we have very little security concerns at that point.   Very cool. And he had the idea that like, yeah, you're not downloading something, or it's like, I can't do that right now. It just opens up the secure browser. And there you go, and you know that everything is safe. And there's there's nothing to worry about. Very cool. I mean, makes it sound simple. I'm sure it's very hard to implement. But obviously, the user experience is easy. And that's what it's all about using technology to make things easy, not complicated.   We have a great partner, the company we work with is called Relay, and they have made our life very easy. I mean, I might have mentioned this before, but we went from one way texting to fully implementing two way and 12 weeks, which for any kind of tech project is like a backup. That's just 12 weeks. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's, that's very cool. Very cool. And also some added benefits. I think that, you know, we I think about a lot, maybe consumers don't is, you know, the amount of satisfaction this brings to the health care professionals as well, that are being more efficient with their time, it's more meaningful, you know, they can have, you know, multiple chats open, if that's the way they want to work, and then, but then kind of, again, not be cold calling necessarily and actively engaging folks, and just the scale at which you can help people kind of grows exponentially in a very low fidelity manner. I did. I didn't want to share one interesting thing with you. We did. This is a exclusive for your podcast. I like exclusive that's what it's all about. Come on, man. Lay it on me.   So once we had the sort of texting apparatus if he would. We started thinking a bit about like, the words we use in that initial text, and we how we approach our customers, as well. Actually in in a world where unfortunately, you know people who scam innocent customers yes are doing more texting right and phishing, etc. So we decided it was it was after we last spoke it was kind of in the works, but we decided just after we spoke last time to partner with CMU, CMU. Sorry, Carnegie Mellon University. Absolutely, yeah. In our backyard. We partnered with Professor George Lowenstein, as well as Samantha Hall and Sammy, who's a PhD candidate. And they are both world renowned experts in behavioral economics. So as applied to healthcare, so the field being, you know, what are the words? What are what are the words, what are the kind of nudge tactics that you can use in a healthcare setting, to really empower an individual to be more engaged in their self care? Okay, you know, nudge tactics, for example, being kind of things like loss aversion, like, you know, you're missing out on benefits that are at no cost to you, people like you are taking advantage of this, why not engage with us? So we partnered on a project to start kind of seeing how we could tailor the words in our messages. And in two months, we increased our initial phone pickup rate by 16%. Just yeah, just by saying, hey, the nurse is going to call this customer this member, patient. Let's send a text an hour ahead of time, saying hello. says Hi, Mark. I'm calling from your healthcare team. I'm going to call you in an hour. Very interesting, huh? Okay. Alone, the telephonic pick up rate by 16%. That makes perfect sense. You're giving that little bit that warning. So And plus if you feel like you know that someone's caring for you, right, yeah, I mean, you know, that, like you're, you're being looked after, and then you got the warning that like there will be a call coming. And it's a legit call. It's not gonna it's not a telemarketer trying to like, upgrade you on something, and it's just never heard of. Yeah, that's awesome. So we've, I mean, again, like you send the text set an hour ahead of time, maybe the person that's the beauty of a two way system is they text back saying, Hey, I'm busy in an hour. Can you do 6pm This evening and say, Yeah, sure. But we're very excited about this collaboration with CMU. We're sort of working on some other plans. And with a view to publish in the academic literature. We think this is a joint partnership between Highmark and CMU. And we think, you know, again, it makes me sound silly to say groundbreaking and texting in the same sentence. But I think we might be onto something.  No, I would call it groundbreaking because you're using a very simple and established and safe technology and using it to empower people to better take care of themselves. That's awesome. To me, I think that's something that the team should be super proud of. And that's why it's so much fun having these conversations, because, you know, over the years, we've been doing these with Highmark, looking at how Highmark works with the Carnegie Mellon with outside vendors that are taught that their games, taking that technology, and focusing it down to where it actually helps the patient. That's just tremendous. And that's why it's so much fun to explore these conversations. That's why I'm so glad I got to have an update with you, Ben about what you guys are up to because it's like, wow, you're getting people there actually 30,000 people using this, your great open rates, click through rates and people picking up the phone because they got a text message an hour before the call was going to help it.   Let me leave you with three kinds of additional teasers. Definitely. You know, one is we're working, in fact, the technology is live, we're just piloting that, to take it one step further, which is kind of the texting, that leads to a conversation that leads to a scheduling module, schedule the time just like you would with a doctor, just like with Open Table, right, like, but with your nurse. Right. So that's going live this year. The second is, you know, this, we're seeing good kind of engagement with employers, right people who provide health insurance and sort of, you know, they see the value, they see the values, encouraging their employees to update their contact information to consent to interactions of this nature with their health plan, because there is value here. And then the third part is just is about kind of value in general, I think. I think small wins like this forced us in the healthcare industry to continue to evolve into a b2c industry. And you can only become b2c if you deliver value to your customers. And that starts with trust. And I think this technology have a simple it is is an enabler towards building a more trust acknowledge the customer, the member and their health insurance provider, which is traditionally not the case, right. But at least by sort of driving home, the fact that we're giving value to our customers really, I think gives a new spin on the term value based care.   Absolutely. I think you summed it up perfectly. It's so much fun talking with you to tape and because this just goes to show you technology can really improve people's lives and watching Highmark use it in a thoughtful way. It's pretty amazing stuff. And we just love being able to tell these stories. Very, very cool. Dr. Ben Edelshain, you're the best. Get back to work. I know you're having a good time. I'll let you go. Always a pleasure to spend time with you.   Absolutely. Just remind everybody This has been Jonathan Kersting with the Pittsburgh Technology Council, and of course tech vibe radio, having awesome conversations like this each and every day. Thanks for listening to healthcare reinvented, exploring the intersection of healthcare and technology brought to you by Highmark. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

Did you know that connecting to your doctor is literally just a text away? On this episode of the Highmark Health Care Reinvented Podcast Series, Benjamin Edelshain, MD , Vice President, Clinical Engagement & Digital Innovation at Highmark Health, gives us the whole story on how a secure mobile text messaging platform is building better patient-doctor connections for healthier outcomes.  The platform was deployed at the height of COVID-19, immediately proving its effectiveness in a world where people could not easily meet with health care providers. Ben shares some encouraging and surprising stats on how many patients are using the platform and how text messaging has improved customer engagement. Discover how a simple text message is part of an ever-growing ecosystem of engagement tools to ensure access to care.  Transcription: Welcome to Healthcare reinvented, exploring the intersection of healthcare and technology brought to you by Highmark, here are your hosts, the Pittsburgh technology Council's Audrey Russo and Jonathan Kersting. This is Jonathan Kersting. With the Pittsburgh Technology Council. This is the next episode of healthcare Reinvented, where we explore the intersections of technology and healthcare. Today's interview will be a lot of fun. It's a follow up from our previous season and today we are going to be talking to Dr. Ben Edelshain, and he's with Highmark Health. And I love the fact that that Highmark is finding ways for its patients and doctors to better connect and using technology where it makes sense. And in our first interview that we had was, I can't believe it's, I think, more than 18 months ago, and I'm so excited to follow up on this. It's all about just using the simple concept of using texting to talk back and forth with your doctor. And it sounds easier than you think, especially in the medical setting.  So I'm excited to learn a the progress of it and some new things they might be working on and get some numbers around this as well, too, just to see how effective it's been. So Ben, welcome to the show today. We're so glad to have you. And it's great to reconnect.   Yeah, Jonathan, thank you very much for having me. I'm honestly super excited to share some updates. And it's always great talking to you. And just coming back again, is a privilege and an honor. very humbled. Yeah. Looking forward to sharing some exciting stuff. And you know, following up from where we left off,. A year and a half ago, just flown by and you had a child. Congratulations.    Thank you so much. Yes, we we had our second little Clara, and she's turning one soon. So very cool. Very cool. You got to be stoked about that. Absolutely. Very cool. So before we get things kids, I'm just refreshing our listeners, maybe are they forgotten or there's the first time listening, could you give us your background and what you do with Highmark Health. Very happy to do so. So I am Ben Edelshain. I've been with Highmark, for about four years now, I'm a vice president in our enterprise clinical organization. I'm originally from the UK, hence the accent and used to be a national health service doctor back in London, but been stateside for about 10 years. And so my responsibilities at Highmark Health include kind of trying to push us to be more tech driven, more consumer focused. And then operationally I run a department to telephonic nurses who support our customers, as well as care navigate navigation as well, helping members find the best possible care. That is interesting, that's gonna be a very rewarding job, because you're actually seeing the work that you do improves the quality of patients lives. It just, I think that's going to be so much fun. I say this without any sort of sarcasm, and I love working. And I see a lot of similar missions to, you know, socialized care where I came from our country, slightly different by country and in the US. And but I think in Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, we're doing something special to try and change the paradigm. And I'm very excited to be part of that journey. So that's why I love having these conversations, because I think you said the right word. I think Highmark is doing so much to change the paradigm. I mean, the idea is using technology to empower people. And it's not just about the technology, because there's technology all over the place. But how you can apply it in a way that people can actually use it, and use it to actually make the experience better make their health better. That's why I thought it was so much fun when we first talked to you know, just detailing how using something as simple as text messaging, as a really effective way of being able to keep that connection going between doctor and patient, which is just so vital. Tell us more about how that kind of started up. And then really how this has been now it's up and running for more than a year and a half now. Yeah, so just if we rewind the clock, you know, even beyond, gosh, that year and a half ago, and you know, when COVID first broke out, right, and patients were rightly scared to go and see their doctors to engage in person with that health care. You know, what we discussed last time was we we challenged ourselves and said, Hey, look, we have this texting capability that traditionally use, you know, primarily for marketing purposes, right? We have adoption, why don't we try to juice it up and and use that one way messaging system and flip it to two way and then as people respond to us at Highmark, you know, let's have a nurse on the other end who's part of the benefit structure that I have or receives, and let's enable that nurse who's on the Highmark side, but to also be kind of that augmentative support for the doctor's practice. And, you know, for us that's, you know, really supporting our colleagues a lot to get Allegheny Health Network. But it's not it's not just a job.  So that's, that's like I didn't think about is the whole point that this is actually a way to kind of help the doctor out as well too. Because if you have a nurse that's helping out, they're able to, you know, it frees up their time to put it where it's more important, and being able to then you but still give the care to the patient at the same time. So that to me, I think is really interesting. So the docs are probably saying, Okay, this is great, it's like a little relief valve that we can talk, we can learn about something going on before it becomes a serious problem that would require someone to come in to the doctor or something like that.   I agree. And I think part of the strategy moving forward is, you know, as a former physician myself, I empathize with, you know, those still in practice where they're forced to have really short consultation time. Right, right. I'm sure as patients, we experienced that, where it feels like, you know, you have 15 minutes, and that's it. And so, you know, perhaps this evolves into what those other topics that you maybe can't fit into 15 minutes, and then, you know, take it offline, or actually take it online, right, and have it in a more digitally enabled manner, and at the convenience of the customer, right at the convenience when they want to talk about it. And so, I mean, we've so a year and a half has passed, we have had, you know, specific to these, what I would call like health conversations or clinical conversations, say, a nurse or other kind of professional, like a pharmacist or behavioral health specialist. Since going live, we've had 30,000 interactions.   Wow. Yeah, that's, that's a lot. That's awesome. Wow. You know, and to put that into context, that's just one year that was lost. And, you know, we use texting for other purposes, primarily, one way, we send about 4 million texts. You know, it's starting to become a decent chunk of Yeah. So, you know, again, changing the paradigm so that the conversation you have with your healthcare insurer, but you know, really, we're an integrated system, but the conversation you're having is more about your health and wellness, and less about your benefits and your right cetera. Exactly. Just the fact that it just keeps you in closer touch with your caregivers, I think is just so important. And you can do it in a way that's not eating into the system and just wasting people's time. But it's like, no, this is a great way that you know, something's not right, you're concerned about something you're able to easily address it before becomes that bigger problem. It just makes me sick, more convenient. And it just, I'm curious, I think this is going to keep growing. Because I mean, the first year, I mean, 30,000 interactions. That's, that's pretty amazing. To me, I'm thinking this is gonna continue to keep building, and you'll probably find more use cases for it as well.    I hope so. And we certainly have plans. And you know what? I like the elegance of the simplicity. Yeah, definitely. Text is essentially free. Right? And, you know, maybe your conversation starts with a text then goes into a secure channel where you're drinking bidirectionally. And maybe you decide, hey, I do want to talk to you, and then you set up a mutually convenient time. Exactly. My dream, my aspiration by the end of next year, is to eliminate any cold calling, that's not expected. That comes from a nurse for my health plan to okay, just like there is no reason why we can't achieve that. So, you know, part of where we're headed is okay. We think texting works. Well, we know texting works, right? I'll throw you out of fun facts. So you're familiar, obviously, as a technologist, kind of the click through rate terminology, right? industry average for texting, click throughs, about 15%, one, five. But when you start due to doing two way and having a healthcare professional on the other side, and picking the moments that matter to the customer, we're at about 30% click rate. Wow, you're doubling that. That's impressive. I mean, yeah, he's looking at a 30% engagement rate like that, click and through that you're having real conversations that I mean, this is something that people are in there. And the cool thing is when they have this good experience with it, they're gonna continue to rely on it, they're gonna see it as something that they can they can use. And I just think it builds a better relationship with your caregiver and makes you sometimes like less afraid. There's always that little bit that fear factor, the more you kind of start talking about something and the more you have to get the back and forth. I know for me, like just personally, I remember like, I've never liked going to the doctor, I remember being like, oh, I can do my virtual visits. And as I started virtual visits, I wasn't so free to actually go in and see the doctor. So I think it's it's a great way to kind of step things up as well to to get those of us who maybe have a little bit of the white coat phobia, I guess. You need an actual person that professional and, you know, maybe that comes into the a little nudge that says, you should really go see your doc. And, you know, the other added beauty over time is that, you know, with the customer, the patient's consent, like maybe we can prep the doctor right for the visit. So we know what's going to be top of mind. And what's the point? Yeah, that makes so much sense. Because like, yeah, if you're working with a nurse, and you had a, say, like a couple days of back and forth, and like, hey, why don't you come in next week, then that nurse can then provide that conversation, there's probably some detail in there that the Doc can look into, and really informs what he or she is able to, you know, do when it comes to treat the patient, and they're gonna, you're gonna get all that better care, when you're there seeing the doctor have a better experience? Well, and then, you know, as a blue plan that has a hospital system, right? So that interaction with the nurse can be transitioned into, okay. Why can't I just book you in right now? Because I have access to a very cool, true one call resolution, right? True, nice. This is all based on a very simple technology, which I think is just so awesome. Like, it's something that we're all very familiar with at this point. So Ben, tell me more about the engagement rate on this. I mean, especially across different age groups. I'm wondering, is there a difference between like younger people and older people using texting to talk with their doctors and nurses? Jonathan, that's a great question. You might actually be surprised on this. I think, you know, in our society, we have this somewhat unfair perspective, sometimes that older folks don't use technology. And what we found actually, is that when you have a healthcare professional on the other end of the phone, and you're doing two way texting, the highest engagement rate we're seeing is amongst the senior population. Interesting. I'm so happy to hear that. I think that we shouldn't underestimate kind of smartphone adoption amongst those 65 and older. And look, if you make the tech simple. And it works, and it drives again, drives value to the customer, we're seeing that senior, customers are engaging nearly double the rates that from folks who are under 65. Well, that is just fascinating. I'm curious, are there any extra security concerns around this being being that there's probably HIPAA stuff at some point, depending upon what the conversation is? Yeah, that's an excellent question, Jonathan. And I do want to make sure that it is clear to your listeners. So for us the text message, what you would see in like, iOS is the initial primer. And so it says, hey, you've got a message waiting for you. This is why it's also elegant, no download needed, it just opens up a secure browser. Gotcha. Which is like all sort of safe for the patient or the member opts in to say, Yep, I'm happy to keep going. And then, you know, we have very little security concerns at that point.   Very cool. And he had the idea that like, yeah, you're not downloading something, or it's like, I can't do that right now. It just opens up the secure browser. And there you go, and you know that everything is safe. And there's there's nothing to worry about. Very cool. I mean, makes it sound simple. I'm sure it's very hard to implement. But obviously, the user experience is easy. And that's what it's all about using technology to make things easy, not complicated.   We have a great partner, the company we work with is called Relay, and they have made our life very easy. I mean, I might have mentioned this before, but we went from one way texting to fully implementing two way and 12 weeks, which for any kind of tech project is like a backup. That's just 12 weeks. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's, that's very cool. Very cool. And also some added benefits. I think that, you know, we I think about a lot, maybe consumers don't is, you know, the amount of satisfaction this brings to the health care professionals as well, that are being more efficient with their time, it's more meaningful, you know, they can have, you know, multiple chats open, if that's the way they want to work, and then, but then kind of, again, not be cold calling necessarily and actively engaging folks, and just the scale at which you can help people kind of grows exponentially in a very low fidelity manner. I did. I didn't want to share one interesting thing with you. We did. This is a exclusive for your podcast. I like exclusive that's what it's all about. Come on, man. Lay it on me.   So once we had the sort of texting apparatus if he would. We started thinking a bit about like, the words we use in that initial text, and we how we approach our customers, as well. Actually in in a world where unfortunately, you know people who scam innocent customers yes are doing more texting right and phishing, etc. So we decided it was it was after we last spoke it was kind of in the works, but we decided just after we spoke last time to partner with CMU, CMU. Sorry, Carnegie Mellon University. Absolutely, yeah. In our backyard. We partnered with Professor George Lowenstein, as well as Samantha Hall and Sammy, who's a PhD candidate. And they are both world renowned experts in behavioral economics. So as applied to healthcare, so the field being, you know, what are the words? What are what are the words, what are the kind of nudge tactics that you can use in a healthcare setting, to really empower an individual to be more engaged in their self care? Okay, you know, nudge tactics, for example, being kind of things like loss aversion, like, you know, you're missing out on benefits that are at no cost to you, people like you are taking advantage of this, why not engage with us? So we partnered on a project to start kind of seeing how we could tailor the words in our messages. And in two months, we increased our initial phone pickup rate by 16%. Just yeah, just by saying, hey, the nurse is going to call this customer this member, patient. Let's send a text an hour ahead of time, saying hello. says Hi, Mark. I'm calling from your healthcare team. I'm going to call you in an hour. Very interesting, huh? Okay. Alone, the telephonic pick up rate by 16%. That makes perfect sense. You're giving that little bit that warning. So And plus if you feel like you know that someone's caring for you, right, yeah, I mean, you know, that, like you're, you're being looked after, and then you got the warning that like there will be a call coming. And it's a legit call. It's not gonna it's not a telemarketer trying to like, upgrade you on something, and it's just never heard of. Yeah, that's awesome. So we've, I mean, again, like you send the text set an hour ahead of time, maybe the person that's the beauty of a two way system is they text back saying, Hey, I'm busy in an hour. Can you do 6pm This evening and say, Yeah, sure. But we're very excited about this collaboration with CMU. We're sort of working on some other plans.

Audrey, I'm very excited to the new season of healthcare reinvented has begun. Yes, it does. We have a great cast of people here today and I'm gonna be excited to my am excited to dive in and understand all that they're working on. So there's a lot going on. I mean, we're kicking off the new season with this episode, and we're gonna be exploring how Highmark Health is creating a digital front door for a truly holistic experience. And it's all powered by some really cutting edge technology. We got a great set of guests hanging out with us today we have Mick Malec, who's the CEO of ENGN, and he's awesome, the enterprise technology Operations Officer at Highmark Health, and we have Tracy Saula hanging out with us who is senior vice president of product and health experience. And we have Naomi Adams, who's a senior vice president of customer strategy and Solutions Engineering at League, a partner that Highmark Health is working with in this conversation today. So everyone, welcome to the podcast. We're excited to explore this topic, Adrienne, I love it, when technology and healthcare come right at each other and create cool stuff. And that's what it's all about today. Where should we start? Should maybe Mick you want to just set the stage in terms of, you know, why, what, and start to frame it for us? Sure. The Highmark had a very distinct, crisp vision on how we should utilize our provider assets or plan assets to deliver better health care, more assertive health care, more follow up health care, more directed healthcare, using technology and the digital assets. And, you know, using everything that's in the cloud and the right partner, so it is basically saying, how do we scale our patient care using technology. And it's been an exciting ride so far. So in that, you know, like any big company, Highmark was going after the right partners and the right players, to help us get there as fast as possible. And one of our partners, we went from contracting in May, to live in January. So anybody who's used to working with a big company realize that does take changes time space continuum, yes. That so it's a very tight, tight coupling between business that Tracy represents very well technology, which is, of course, as we all know, landed the geeks, which I'm in charge of, and then our partner for league that Naomi represents as the that technology that puts all those pieces together and representing that experience. For our very valuable members. When I tell the story, you have to kind of go back to 2020 when Highmark first introduced its living health strategy, and at the time that we first introduced living health, it was really with our recognition that health care is broken. And you know, the costs continue to increase, the people are not getting healthier, despite the increases in cost. And the two most important people in the health care equation, people who are trying to care for their health, and the clinicians who serve them, are probably the most disenfranchised in the system. So it just fundamentally is broken. And we set out to fix that that was really our ambitious living health strategy. And it really was grounded in our version of the Quadruple Aim, which is really starting with a better experience for both people and the clinicians, leading to a higher level of engagement, which leads to better outcome health outcomes, which then leads to sustainable cost, right. So it was that that equation. And within experience, it really is three things simple, personalized, and proactive. And like that was sort of the backdrop for our digital strategy. And then the timing of it's kind of interesting, because remember, 2020 here, we were, right in the middle of COVID. And all of a sudden, we got a little bit of help from a crisis, right? Because people that weren't using virtual care, people that maybe weren't engaging digitally, all of a sudden the world had a real curve, right of where both healthcare and just people in general created much more reliance on digital interactions, and at the same time, became much more astute at what they expect from digital experiences. And I would argue that the work that we're intending to do with with our partner League and and Google Cloud as well, is really riding that wave and saying, if we are going to create a better experience more simple Personalized and proactive. It's really through how do we extend the traditional legacy way that we all engage in health where everything's fragmented. You have different payers, providers, vendors, nobody talks to each other data's in all these silos everywhere, to bring it together in a way that, you know, the same way that we all do shopping digitally, we do banking digitally. And it was designed in a way that we like it, and it works for us. How do we bring that same spirit to healthcare, and Naomi can certainly tell this story is that league always says it's a perfect marriage of care, cloud and CX customer experience, and bring that together in the service of better health. And that's really the partnership that we have with like, yeah, Naomi,talk about how that integrated this is fast and furious, right? Yeah. It's fast and furious. And we like fast and furious. I mean, fundamentally, maybe, maybe I can just paint a little bit of a picture of who league is for folks who don't know, yeah, give us the background, the league we need to do. Yeah, so we're an eight year old company. Seriously, we've raised around $200 million. So well, well funded organization, really with a mission to empower people with their health, we've been always focused on that consumer experience in health care. And really what we spend time on these days is building technology that we can partner with major healthcare organizations like Highmark Health, to power experiences for their end users. And we really come at it from the lens of the consumer, our founders come from a sort of consumer background, they previously launched, companies in the ebooks space. So they used to, you know, launching products and technologies for for millions and even billions of individuals actually. So that's really the ethos, we think about the member every single day and the individual every single day, and in the experience that we want them to have that is consumer grade that is like, you know, watching Netflix or banking or whatever else, that you know, healthcare has been a little bit behind the curve. So it's actually fantastic to be able to partner with Highmark bring our technology to bear to what they're trying to accomplish. And the living health model, you know, and see that that vision come come to life is, is really exciting. So yeah, hopefully that helps explain a little bit about it's wonderful to think, and this is to any of you, do you think that COVID just exacerbated this, the need for this. Do you think that that was was the impetus for this change, Naomi, from your perspective on League, as well, as as from Highmark?   I think, you know, I think the change was probably coming. But it definitely accelerated it. There's always that inflection point, my actually prior to working in, in health technology, I worked in financial services, and, you know, kind of came into some of that during the financial crisis and 2000 2008. And, you know, that also kind of pushed, you know, financial services into where it is today. And so, yeah, from my vantage point, absolutely, I think people really understood that there's other ways to manage their health. And actually, that kind of omni channel experience that you can enable, is also really powerful digital has a super important role to play. But it needs to be useful for the individual, you know, there has been a lot of proliferation of point solutions in the market, to help individuals manage their health, but it's always a little bit more siloed in terms of a particular condition area, or solving a particular problem. And, you know, I think what high marks vision, which we've helped to bring to life is, you know, kind of taking that more holistic approach to making sure that, you know, it's easy for an individual to navigate and manage their health digitally. And you know, how that touches into the real world as well. I don't know, Tracy, and Mick, how are you? I mean, I can add, and then Mickey can certainly give your point of view, if you look at the trends, digital and virtual health existed, you know, not many years before the pandemic. But it really wasn't until the pandemic that you saw this surge in usage, right, it was it was, you know, when people's clinicians said, Hey, trust me, we can care for you virtually. And we can, you know, we can do this, it'll work. And, you know, in many ways, even with seniors, you know, when you think about seniors, and digital, you know, seniors actually have more time to engage digitally through the pandemic, you know, many seniors didn't want to leave their houses. So they became much, much more savvy. So it really did take something that was a crisis. And as it relates to digital health allowed us to really accelerate progress in a way that I don't know that we would have been able to accelerate progress. Otherwise, I know that's Mick to weigh in on this because he thinks about it more from the vendor perspective. But because people expect more from their digital experiences, they expect it to be easy. See, they expect it to be something that doesn't make their life harder, if you will, pre pandemic, all these vendors that were providing digital health point solutions, you know, I only care for diabetes, I only care for weight management. If you're trying to manage your health digitally, you might have been talking to 12 different apps, 12 different companies. And they were able to, I don't want to say get away with that. But in a post pandemic, world, people aren't having that. Right. And I think, you know, MIT, the thing that I find interesting is, that means those vendors have to engage with us and transact with us digitally differently so that we can create a consistent experience. And we've seen a shift in how they're willing to work with us, and their enablement of those experiences. So I think maybe you can probably speak to that more than anybody. Yeah, I can say we have made up for lost time. We, you know, the COVID was a catalyst for us to have to deliver differently, communicate differently, as an organization, like any big, long standing health plan, a lot of legacy systems, a lot of legacy data. And it's not an easy path to digitize all that enabled another way. So the best I can say it in supporting the organization, we have quickly become very data oriented in the cloud, very data oriented digitally. Also, there's been some tough lessons with some vendors. You know, as I always say, there's these wonderful brochures that we all get about very handsome men and women with best scopes, and, you know, beautiful little lab coats. And when you start to talk to them, they're like, rubbing two sticks together to make technology fire. So we've gotten a lot of that to that, you know, the vetting process is critical. Because, you know, we all know this, everybody stuff works great in PowerPoint. Oh, it's his executing just fine. And when he get here, it's like, well, I didn't mean right now, right now, like the guy that comes to paint your house. A lot of lessons on solid criteria, solid vendors. And, you know, one thing about high mark is, once we have a good idea, we stick to it. Now, we might have bumps in the road, but sticking to it. If you don't, you'll never have anything in the end. So we stuck to it, and we're better for it. So, you know, to me, it's we've made up for lost time. And we are much more astute on the pieces and parts that make up the cloud. Mick, I love your your brutal honesty on that, because I'm glad you brought that up because it because it goes to show these are not easy things to do that, yes, the surfaces seem like it's, you know, PowerPoint works seamlessly when you see it. But of course, in real life, it takes a lot more to make it happen. I'm just I think Audrey and I have always admired how Highmark has really engaged with technology and use an outside vendors like League and like Google, as you mentioned, just curious more about your thoughts on working with with with League and what's made them such a good partner, in order to get this my Highmark app, you know, I'll take a crack at it and turn it to say, Tracy, that's a great question. That's the best question I've had all day. All right, I'm hitting it now I'm feeling good, that the word I'm going to use is seamless. They are as committed to customer success as Highmark is. So when you're in the thick of battle, and you're putting up two new digital properties from scratch, you know, it's gonna have its moments and so no one cared about the badge, what company do you have a chart center or the dog ate my homework when most of us don't even have a dog. So it was all one team pulling together. So in the middle of it, all we cared about was giving value to the company, and getting that stuff out there for the member. So it was seamless from a delivery standpoint, a business standpoint, and IT support standpoint. And once again, it got down to we as a collective team needed to deliver. That being said, I'll turn it over to my most awesome business partner, Tracy. So clearly, you know, cultural alignment between partners. And I would argue, just we had such we had and have such an aligned point of view of what a good digital experience and health needs to be. And we aren't willing to waver from that. And I think that you know, and I'm very culturally aligned on what that vision is that we're striving for. And what that honestly means is that there are many, many, many players in the healthcare ecosystem. But there's a small group of players who are like minded, like us who want to be part of the kind of thing that we're doing, right? Because it's very integrated. It isn't about any one vendor, it's about the customer. And it's about how all of that how all of that comes together and service of the customer. And I think you know, how we work together. And the fact that we have the shared vision is what enabled us to go very quickly. Together as we've kind of moved towards delivery of our first product. We obviously have a I got more to do on that product as we advanced the ball going forward. But it is a shared commitment to, we aren't willing to settle for something less, because the people that engage in health are only ever going to engage the way that will benefit them in the way that we hope they will if we put them at the center and design around them, not around us and our business interests, or the interests around every partner. And when it comes to when it comes to administrative parts of health, like finding a doctor, or paying a bill, or what does something cost, you know, those are some of the just basic problems, we're trying to solve the plague all of us and health. But when you go to how we deliver health, and you think about this model, that kind of interplays between, I engage sometimes in person and I engage sometimes virtually and digitally. It's really about trying to think about and leveraging all of our clinician advisors and partners in this work, when you go in to see your doctor, and he's your primary care doc, or He's a specialist or she's a specialist, they look at you as the whole person, they don't look at you and say, I'm just looking at your ear because you have an earache, or I'm just looking at your knee because you're you have knee pain, they have your whole health picture. The only way that digital health succeeds, is if we look at a purse at person digitally the same way that we would, which means it isn't just you in the moment that you're a diabetic or you in the moment that you have knee pain, you have all of those things as a human. So digital health done, right starts to think about the person the same way that their clinician does when they're sitting in front of them office. And that's kind of a guiding principle for that the clinical part of what we're working. So Mick in terms of the technology piece, just at the high level, are you leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence in terms of cumulatively working towards individualizing this experience for each person?   I would say yes, you know, as we all know, very soon, data will be the currency of the realm. So yes, we have some study, there are tools from our partners, things called next best action, which is simulate saying, you know, if you cut yourself or you sliced off your foot, we should probably deal with your foot first. So we should probably take care of that. So there, that's one of the engines that we're using along a many others. But to keep that nuclear reactor going, it's going to be data, data data. So there's the excitement about standing up something new in it, but frankly, it is exciting. But to keep it going is more and more data for more and more use cases to do more and more diagnostics. And that's where rom were on the quest for data like that movie back quest for fire. So, you know, it's all about the data and how we can use it in much different ways. So hey, man, can I so one of the things I want to add, so even going live with our very first iteration, and what seven months of this product, it was super important that we bring a level of personalization. So you know, Mick talked about the cloud data, and the advanced analytics, you know, the artificial intelligence and machine learning being more predictive. Even when we went live, we had about 20 different use cases where we were personalizing nudges for people based on their health needs. So you know, kind of understanding that as you're in this digital experience, we understand a health need that you might have, and how do we provide personalized nudges, information, things that, you know, we might want to point you to? Or how do we get you engaged in a certain thing that you don't typically see in a health plan member portal like that is that is kind of novel for a health plan member portal. And I would argue, with a lot of the work we're doing to continue to improve our analytic capabilities. In the future, it won't just be We understand your health needs, your existing and emerging health needs, but we also understand your preferences. And how do we bring together your preferences and your needs to really curate kind of recommendations for you, or journeys for you or suggestions for you that that work? Good for you. So that's a lot of the work that we're doing leveraging our data with advanced analytics. So do you imagine that at some point, I'm just taking it out all the way to the to beyond what you're doing now? Do you imagine that biometric real time information about Jonathan is going to be available in this? Is that part of future? Yeah, already from the lens of like, wearable devices? That's, that's already part of what we're working on. And you know, all of the data that we collect from a member as they interact with the experience is mapped to a fire data record. So that's kind of have aligned to, you know, interoperable healthcare standards. And, you know, can be combined with all of the data that Highmark obviously has already on a member in terms of the claims that they have, which is really where a lot of that kind of ml comes in to have that entire picture of an individual to drive those personalizations and recommendations that then, you know, show up in the experience for an individual. But yeah, you know, devices absolutely important. Already, we have wearables, I think, I'm not sure exactly where, you know, Tracy in the future, but there's, you know, there's the possibility, add in, or to consume that data in real time, and then play back to the individual in real time as well, you know, nudges are important in the moment, right? It's not so you know, it's it's not important if you get it kind of later, and you know, by the time you get a nudge about something to do with your health that that thing has passed, especially if you're thinking about it, like an acute situation, for example. So I don't know, Tracy, I'll make if you'd add anything on there,   I'll just add an example of a use case that we would have right now is, so if somebody has a wearable, and it's tied to a health solution that, you know, we're offering, you know, not only do are we able to say to the person, hey, you're eligible for this digital health solution based on information we know about you. And let's enroll you into that health solution, let's create a single sign on experience. So you can engage in that health solution right through my hierarchy, instead of having to go somewhere else. And then we get the data feedback, right? We can even say, hey, you've got this wearable device, and you haven't paired it for two weeks, we're going to remind you that you should pair the wearable device. So even out of the gate, we're starting to do more of that kind of connecting you see the data kind of going back and forth between the experiences in a way that even our early use cases are leveraging.    And I think that timing is interesting, particularly for those people that have adopted biometrics early as early adopters, that that there. Were waiting for that, right? I mean, we don't know it, but as I listened to you, I say, Oh, I'm really wait, I'm ready for that. Right. That's both predictive and preventative, and infrastructure.    Yeah, for sure. And preventative is like a really important word there, right, you know, knowing and anticipating what does someone need to do to manage their health and kind of getting that in front of them before? You know, it kind of turns into a chronic condition down the line is like, it's just so important. For all of us, you know, when I think it's Yeah, and data's data is extremely helpful to, you know, to support and making sure people understand, you know, what are the things I can be doing for myself, you know, my age, in my situation with my family health, with my specific, you know, biometric data, you know, to prevent, you know, future health issues down the line.   As Mick said, it's all about the data and more data and more data, keep feeding that machine. Are there any customers that are they get worried about the amount of data that's being collected? And obviously, you know, there's such care that's put around maintaining the integrity of the data and keeping it, you know, completely confidential? Can we talk about some of those issues, that'd be I think, kind of fascinating to explore.   So data, so this, this is kind of like Fight Club. The first rule of security is you don't talk about security. That's the way I can put it. So I would say that Highmark, like any responsible organization is very, very attuned to all the compliance. Our major partners are also tuned to itself things like high trust and a sock verifications, we take very seriously. So if anything, Highmark will always err on the side of extreme caution. So you know, we have sandbox environments that don't have any data. We have other environments that have de identified data, then we have the sacrosanct, None shall pass picture of Monty Python, Holy Grail, None shall pass that lockstep production data. So you know, we have all these different areas, and we in all sincerity, no kidding, we obsess around all that. So yeah, there is I would say, there is an acknowledgement from our partners that we have it and they validate that we have the right controls for it, and we do the right things with it.   Yeah, and I would say as a as, you know, a smaller company, but you know, growing quickly in the space, we take it extremely seriously as league as well, because it is like, you know, it could be company ending if there was a, you know, a security incident. It's just like, it is so important. And it's important to ensure that, you know, we're working with, you know, amazing organizations like Highmark Health who do have really high standards. We love that. We love that because it pushes us to make sure that we're you know, operating With the highest level of standards as well, from a security perspective, I mean, there is nothing more important than making sure someone's personal health information is secure. I think it's like critical to, you know, to being in this space, because no one else makes me excited, my mind is just spinning because I'm thinking of all the applications here. And we talked about preventative, predictive, etc. But I think about all the social determinants, right of health and maternal health, and, you know, all the things that really came to light during COVID, you know, in terms of successful interventions and access, etc. That piece is exciting to me as well, because I would imagine that you could really harness some of your tools in a preventative mode, as well as tracking in tandem, to help and understand what those interventions are. part of your strategy. Yes, it most definitely is, you know, one of the things that we're doing, you know, out of the gate is we have a, an a social determinant assessment that Highmark has developed that, you know, obviously, the, the world through looking at zip codes and demographics can infer social determinant needs of a population. But if you want a more precise level of social determinant needs Highmark, a number of years ago developed an assessment, where you know, if a person is engaging with a clinician, or there's a variety of channels through which we can collect this data, and then leverage it to help connect people to the right kinds of support services, solutions, interventions that they may need or find benefit for. And one of the ways that we are using our new, you know, app and web experience, my high mark is as a collection mechanism for that data. So for example, we have a diabetes solution, I was talking about that earlier, as part of that Diabetes Solution, we are running that assessment and collecting that information on the people who are engaging. So it allows us to take that data and use it to help connect those people to the right, the right solutions, the right places, so very much. So that is part of our because we our strategy is very much so that health is physical, and mental and social. And you can't care for a person's physical health without thinking of their mental and their social health. So all of that is very balanced in our model that we continue to evolve.   So this will be push as what as well as pull, right? Okay. And so and this will be MC, this will be on my iPhone, it will be on my Android. It'll be, you know, ubiquitous that way. Yeah, Tracy and Naomi can speak volumes of, you know, understanding what a patient care what it would take care of a patient needs. And having him go do that care is critically different. So, you know, this is all about, hey, we have determined this or you went and got an appointment. And this has been determined. Now we need to guide you, where do you go? What do you ask for? What do you do when he come back? So we got to get you from where you're at back to healthy? And so this is that full engagement model? If you have multiple conditions? Well, let's manage that for you. Let's make sure that you understand. So it really is exciting as heck. I mean, we're all humans. And, you know, unless something really starts to get hurting or bad, we're like, oh, I'll just rub some dirt on it. It'll be fine tomorrow, you know, that doesn't really work with kidney diseases I found out so you know, there's a limit here on how much dirt you can rub. So this is really saying, we're not just here to you know, watch things, we're here to help things and that's a fundamental difference.    On the on the on the data part of this show, if you think about health, right, digital health, and we're spending a lot of time talking about that digital engagement vehicle, but we still have very traditional care management, you know, programs that tend to be very telephonic, you know, programs, who also have people engaging with their clinicians, a lot of the data that we are ingesting and collecting through the My Highmark experience, we are looking at sharing with providers, we are looking at sharing with our care management and our customer service teams so that no matter how a person engages, even if they're not engaging digitally, when they go to their provider, our hope is that we've taken data that was previously siloed we've ingested it through a better mousetrap, generated insights out of it and provided it to people's clinician so that when they show up there, they have a better picture of the person whose health they are trying to care for because people care for their health through a variety of channels. And all of that data, historically wasn't always available to the clinician who was caring for them at the time, as well as care managers. You know that at Highmark or other customer service reps, so there's a lot of work that MC and team are doing on the back end as they if we collect all of this data into the centralized store, and we create insights from it, how does it go to all of these different places, whether it is epic, whether it is our care management platform, you know, and then that's a lot of the back end, Mickey, you certainly can talk about the technical complexities of doing that. But that is also a big part of the work that we're doing.   Yeah, that's, that's a great point. And since we have such a heavy partnership with Allegheny, of course, you know, it's a matter of, you have to be able to place information in the EMR that is useful to the physician, not a distraction, not a commercial. And it because they can get overwhelmed with it, and every physician will tell you, you know, gosh, I'm more time on epic than I am doing what I went to school for. So we have to be very careful that while we are excited, and we talk about data, we have to be very careful in how to orchestrate that data and tour. It's useful. And so Tracy brings a good point, as much it is about digital. Eventually, it all gets to the doctor and the patient having a conversation. So how do we empower that physician to have the best information? They can make sense of it? And so that is an art form? That's not a science yet. Would you not agree Naomi? And Tracy, that's kind of an art. I agree. Yeah, same thing, in terms of the patient, right? Because you're educating me as a patient, to start to think about things very differently so that when I come in, or I have a telehealth appointment, I'm armed better, right I have, I have a better understanding. And if you keep reinforcing that with me, that'll be part of my persona, in terms of how I interact.   And let me give you a great example of how this all connects. I'm going to use diabetes. Again, just because I've been on a roll of diabetes, it's easy to stick with the same example. If you would go back two years, and you would say there's a digital Diabetes Solution that a person is engaging in, chances are it's a standalone app, it might be something that's covered by their plan, but it's a standalone app, the doctor that they might see their primary care physician wouldn't have no idea that that that that person was eligible for that solution, it was part of their insurance benefits, they certainly didn't know how to sign them up for it. And they got no but data back. So you know, what we're doing now. And some of this is still being introduced throughout this calendar year is, you know, for Diabetes Solution, not only do we have that available through our my Highmark experience where the person has a single sign on, but we have built a smart on fire app that goes right into the clinicians workflow in epic, that was designed by clinicians, for clinicians, that at the point of care, says, hey, this person sitting in front of you is eligible for this Diabetes Solution, hit this button, and you have an easy button to enroll them right in their workflow. So they don't have to leave their workflow. They don't have to go somewhere else. It isn't hard from before them, they can hit that. But they hit that button, it all comes back and the person gets enrolled. And then guess what else we do on the back end? Once the person is engaging, we are now building the data feedback loop to those clinicians. So not only did I as a clinician hit that button and enroll my patient, I'm also getting data feedback to say, hey, they're using this solution, here's what they're doing. Here's how their a one C levels look. So creating that closed loop. So in all, it's the heart, it's the my Highmark experience, it's the data. It's the analytics, it's sharing the data back to the clinicians and building those interoperable tools that enable us to do that. So it's, it's a variety of things that all kind of culminate with that experience. But it's all of that technology coming together in a pretty cool way. That breaks down the barriers and the silos. You guys have to be having just a ton of fun. And I mean to simplify, but the idea that you're working on these things that are so powerful, and can do so possibly impact someone's care and their quality of life. And you're using some bleeding edge technology with companies like weed out there to make this happen. It kind of It blows my mind a little bit. I'm just thinking you gotta be having a good time. Am I right? When I say that? Well, I'll start. Yes, we are because up until a couple of weeks ago, I thought smart on fire was a heavy metal band. So I'm learning very quickly here. We're adapting we're growing as individuals. I tried to look it up online and couldn't find it to go take more more technology. We are having fun. I mean, honest to goodness, because this is just so different than anything else we've done culturally for high markets embracing a new way. We're working in Sprint's working very rapidly where a lot of the the paperwork and bureaucracy has been knocked out of the way so it's a difference in how we go We're about delivering these things we're doing that's as exciting as anything else you know any big company of course will have its processes and you know much like some movies badges Jonathan We don't need no stinking badges!

As reports that the White House may be considering more impactful approaches to Chinese investment restrictions reach investors, how much should they be reading into these policy deliberations?----- Transcription -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. Michael Zezas, Head of Global Thematic and Public Policy Research for Morgan Stanley. Along with my colleagues, bringing you a variety of perspectives, I'll be talking about the intersection between public policy and financial markets. It's Wednesday, February 1st at 10 a.m. in New York. The influence of U.S. policy deliberations on financial markets was once again on display this week. Fresh reports that the White House continues to consider implementing rules that would restrict some investments in China, shouldn't surprise regular listeners of this podcast. After all, the U.S. government has been quite public about its intention to keep U.S. resources from supporting the development of key technologies in China deemed critical to U.S. economic and national security. But what might be a bit surprising was a report suggesting that one approach to achieving this goal could be quite different than many anticipated. In particular, the White House is reportedly considering blanket bans on investing in certain sectors of concern, rather than a tailored investment by investment review. Following the news, China equity markets have moved lower and many of our clients see a link. However, we think investors shouldn't read too much into one media report. We emphasize that the media reports on this topic are full of hedged and subjective language. While it could very well be true that the administration is considering this more severe approach, policy deliberations of all kinds typically consider multiple options. So, the consideration of this approach doesn't inherently mean it's the most likely outcome. But we do think one reliable read through from this report is that the U.S. is likely to enact some form of investment restrictions with regard to China. So investors do need to grapple with what this could mean. It could drive concern among investors around impacts to tech concentrated and R&D heavy sectors of the China equity markets. But also consider that such actions underscore emerging opportunities in geographies our colleagues have become quite positive on, like Mexico and India, markets that could benefit from U.S. multinationals having to shift new tech sensitive production away from China. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague, or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. It helps more people find the show.

(Transcription)Welcome to the first episode of Shifting Privacy Left. To kick off the show, I'm joined by Kavya Pearlman, Exec Director of The eXtended Reality Safety Initiative (XRSI) to discuss  current challenges associated with extended reality (XR), the XRSI Privacy & Safety Framework, and the importance of embedding privacy into today's technology.---------**Thank you to our sponsor, Privado, the developer friendly privacy platform**---------In our conversation, Kavya describes her vision for bridging the gap between government & technologists. While consulting  Facebook back in 2016, she's witnessed 1st-hand the impacts on society when technology risks are ignored or misunderstood. As XR technology develops, there's a dire need for human-centered safeguarding and designing for privacy & ethics. We also discuss what it's been like to create standards while the XR industry is still evolving, and why it's crucial to influence standards at the foundational code-level. Kavya also shares her advice for builders of immersive products (developers, architects, designers, engineers, etc.) and what she urges regulators to consider when making laws for web3 tech. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:The story behind XRSI, its mission & overview of key programs.The differences between the "XR" & "metaverse."XRSI's definitions for new subsets of "personal data" w/in immersive experiences: biometrically-inferred data & psychographically-inferred data.Safety, privacy & ethical implications of XR data collection & use. Kavya explains the importance of the human in the loop.Check out XRSI:XRSI Privacy & Safety Framework - XRSI PSF1Metaverse Safety WeekGuest Info (Kavya Pearlman):Follow on Twitter: @KavyaPearlmanConnect on LinkedIn: Kavya PearlmanEmail Kavya: kavya@xrsi.org Privado.ai Privacy assurance at the speed of product development.

In this podcast we discuss how Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) pages rank in Google's three pack, also known as the "local pack". Recent, good reviews, organic rankings and user proximity are major factors. Of course, there is a bit more to it than that.

Transcription: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. When someone searches personal injury attorney near me, there are a few types of results that pop up. You have the ads at the top. Below that is a map with a few firms' names. Lots of users click those and are directed to a nearby attorney. Getting listed in that spot is a huge benefit, but it can be a challenge. Today's podcast is all about getting your Google Business Page to show up there. Len, the founder of Optimize My Firm, is joining us today to talk about how to boost your odds of showing up in the Local Pack. What's your experience with Google My Business, now Google Business Page? Len: Google Local started around 2004. It was about the same time I had opened my IT firm/computer repair store that was sold in 2012, and it helped drive a ton of business to our business. I remember, in about 2008, they went to the Local 10-Pack. It used to be A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K lists, so it was really easy to game. Back then, all somebody had to do was be in the center of the city. The big trick then was to just rent a UPS Store mailbox which would give you a full address, and people would show up at the top there. It was really frustrating to see certain people there, and Google was really bad about removing spam, so I was personally affected by all of Google Local's results for many years before we started doing it for other lawyers. Len: As for other experience,  I occasionally participate in the Google Business Page product forum. I'm not there a lot, but I recently became a bronze member there. After you help enough people, it keeps you sharp staying on top of everybody's problems. If I were to spend another 500 hours there, they'd make me an expert. They call it a silver expert or something like that. Lindsey: We all have to have goals. Len: Yeah. I do lurk it from time to time and stay on top of everything that's impacting Google My Business. I'm going to actually call it Google My Business several times because it recently became Google Business Page. I don't know why they keep renaming it. It's like the seventh time they've renamed it. By the time everybody gets used to one, they change it again, but I stay on top of there. Locksmith, air-conditioning people, electricians, garage door repairmen, lawyers, they all have their own challenges, and it's just good to stay sharp. Lindsey: Absolutely. They're all competing for those positions in the Local Pack, that section that's right below the ads and next to the map. Does the Local Pack drive a lot of calls? Len: Yes. It's amazing how many calls it can drive. It's funny. For personal injury lawyers specifically, we've got a couple of different case studies. We have somebody in Southern California. They're not in Los Angeles, but they're in a city near it, in Los Angeles County. Even though they rank really well, they probably only get about 20 calls a month out of it. We have other lawyers in other areas. Maybe they're in a city of about 500,000 people and there's not nearly as much competition. In Southern California, there's a lawyer in every block. They might have less competition. They might get 200 calls a month out of it. It's always really surprised me that people call right from the Local Pack. I mean, I know if you're looking for pizza or coffee, you might call the first thing that pops up, but I was always surprised that people didn't do more researc...

Transcription: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsay Busfield. In some markets, it can feel almost impossible to compete against all of the other law firms. Unless you have millions of dollars at your disposal for marketing, you just can't win going toe-to-toe with the Goliaths using strictly conventional techniques. So you have to get creative. Some get creative in their branding, others niche down and throw their whole budget at one target demographic. Both are great options. But James Grant has taken the traditional legal marketing model and flipped it on its head. Rather than marketing directly to consumers like everyone else is doing, Jimmy has built his law firm using B2B marketing principles, creating his own market space and dominating it. Thanks for joining us, James. Jimmy: Thanks, Lindsey, for having me. I'm super pumped to be on today. Lindsey: Oh great. We're excited to have you here. So tell us a little bit about your background and how you got into practicing law in the first place. Jimmy: That's always a funny story, because everyone looks at my degree and they're like, "You went to Georgia Tech? You're a civil engineer? How did you get into law?" And I look at them and say, "I don't really know, but it just kind of happened." You think you want to go one way and you end up on another direction entirely. Lindsey: You just stumble into greatness. Jimmy: I mean, some would say that, others would say I'm crazy, but you know what, it's been a fun ride. I thought I was going to be patent law. And now I own my own personal injury law firm. So weird things happen. Lindsey: That's fantastic. You have one life, you may as well do everything you can in it. Jimmy: I mean, in my eyes, it gives me a little exposure to a couple different sides of things. I've got the analytical side of my brain. Of course, I have no idea how to do math anymore. If I can't do it in an Excel or on a calculator, it doesn't happen. But that's one side of things. And then be creative on the other side. How Georgia Trial Law was started: Lindsey: They automate that. Right. Well, you've got tools for that, you've got people for that, and you figure out how to make it work. So talk to me about your first practice and kind of how you ventured into the legal side of things. Jimmy: So when I first graduated law school, the number one priority's obviously passing the bar. So you put every ounce of everything into that. Luckily I was one of the lucky ones that passed the bar the first time. And then from there immediately started working at a local prosecutor's office. Georgia's a little bit different than most states. Most states, the district attorney handles everything. In Georgia, we split things up where the District Attorney handles felonies and the Solicitor General handles misdemeanors. I was working at the Solicitor General's office and got a whole lot of exposure to a whole lot of stuff really fast. I mean, I probably had, I think, 20-something trials in the 18 months that I was there just because it's churning and burning. Lindsey: Wow. Yeah. Jimmy: So then after my public service, I was like, "All right,

Transcription: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. Living in a world that is so focused on what we do and how we do it, it is important to sit back and reflect on why we do it. As children, we all had a grand idea of what we wanted to be when we grew up. Firemen, lawyers, SEO podcast hosts. Well, maybe that was a later dream. Nonetheless, we saw ourselves as the heroes and heroines of our adulthood. Many of you probably dreamed of becoming lawyers when you grew up. To do so, you traversed law schools, student loans, fierce competition, regulations, and naysayers. You sacrificed time and money into becoming a lawyer most likely because you wanted to help people and contribute to the greater good. And while the day-to-day operations of lawyer life probably don't make you feel like donning your red cape and flying about town, it is important to listen to that calling that is still inside, cheering you on, summoning your inner hero. Mark Bello knows legal heroes. In fact, he wrote one into existence with the Zachary Blake legal thriller series. In this novel series, Zachary Blake is a lawyer who combats social justice issues that are prevalent in our government, churches, and society today. Thank you for joining us, Mark. Mark: Thanks for having me, Lindsey. Lindsey: Well, for starters, give us a little more information on the series as a whole. Mark: On the series as a whole. Well, I've written eight novels starting with Betrayal of Faith and the eighth and most recent novel is You Have The Right to Remain Silent. It is a departure from the prior novels, because as you mentioned in your intro, most of them have been based on newsworthy topics or what the press likes to call, "ripped from the headlines." The last one is a straight whodunit. It's not a "ripped from the headlines" novel. So, I took off after seven novels from my political, legal soapbox and created a different type of novel. But the topics, as we'll probably discuss, have gone from clergy abuse to white supremacy, to school shootings, to police on minority shootings, to the Me-Too movement in the Supreme Court, to a bigoted president, a businessman who gets elected and does bad things to the country. Sound familiar? To the immigration crisis. So, I've written about topics that are related to the news. The first book, unlike all the rest, was based on a case out of my practice and that remains the only one that I took from my practices. Lindsey: So all of these cases that you're talking about, they all feel very new, they all feel like they are very relevant today, but you've actually been writing for quite a while. So, when did you start writing the series and what exactly prompted you to do so? Mark: Well, it took me probably 25 years or so to write the first novel. I had a law practice to run. I had family, I had four children and nine grandchildren, although I didn't have them back then, all of them. But I was one of the first lawyers back in the '80s, that's the 1980s,

Transcription: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. Between social media, SEO, paid advertising, video ads, commercials, and so on, it can feel like there are endless ways to spend marketing dollars. In some markets, you can bring in a full caseload through a well-placed TV ad. In other more saturated markets, it seems as if you can spend thousands of dollars a month and only see a case or two trickle in. We will be focusing on those frustrating situations today. Danny Decker knows how to cut through the noise and saturated markets. Danny literally wrote the book on simple marketing strategies at work. Thank you so much for joining us. Danny: Thank you, Lindsey. It is great to be here. I'm a big fan. Lindsey: Oh, thanks. Well, tell us a little bit about your background and what you do. Danny: Yeah, so the short version is I actually started a marketing agency back in 2011 and worked with small law firms all over the country in kind of a wide variety of practice areas, family law, immigration, some personal injury, broad range of practice areas, but grew that business with a partner. We grew it to a seven-figure business, and in 2018, I sold my ownership to him because I really saw a need for strategy and education for law firm owners and business owners in general. There are lots of really great marketing agencies out there who can handle a lot of the execution, but I saw a gap, not only for lawyers, but for most small business owners of not really understanding kind of the strategy and the principles behind marketing, and so the results weren't as good as they could be. So, now, I do a lot of speaking, workshops, podcasts, wrote a book back in 2019, and then I just wrote a second book and released that called The Automatic Marketing Machine just a few months ago. So, I'm really passionate about helping law firm owners and small business owners understand marketing, know how to work with their marketing agencies, know how to make a marketing plan, track their return on investment, and all that good stuff. Lindsey: Well, congratulations on a couple of successful book launches, and education in marketing, especially for lawyers, is a huge deal and there is a need there, and whether a very small solopreneur law firm is attempting to take on their own marketing, or if they've grown a little bit beyond then and have hired a marketing agency, it's important to be able to ask the right questions and get the traction and to be able to look at the right metrics to see if your marketing dollars are paying off, and there is an educational gap there because great lawyers are out there doing great lawyer things and not necessarily up to speed on the ever changing marketing initiatives that are going on. Danny: Yeah, they don't teach marketing in law school, right? Lindsey: That's exactly right. Danny: That's not one of the things that law schools conquer. Where should lawyers start when they're making marketing plan? Lindsey: That's exactly right. Well,

understand I hope you enjoy this episode so without further ado episode number 15 rental revolution let's get into it so first thing to talk about today is medicine cost or medicine Copthorne is a congressman he's a very quite young Congressman one of the honest ones I've ever seen that believe is 2627 years old maybe even younger 25 and are very well spoken you may have seen some of his very passionate speeches, and rants to our president and to Congress surrounding some very touchy subjects but he has found the crosshairs of the cancel culture this last week or so as a result of some conversations that he had surrounding January 6 so here's a speech watch this real quick just in the giving idea of who he is if you don't know already this is a very recent speech that he gave there were some funny spots in here talking about basically you know are 70 flipping off Joe Biden's mother thinks let's go out and watch this and see what you think in them will kinda talk through why he is being put in the crosshairs of cancel culture the sons and daughters of America are not foot soldiers for your parties and that geriatric despot they are not expendable pawns we dispatch to the whims of an idiot tossed carelessly around the world to godforsaken Kay's employee sandboxes they are Americans or the worthy of honor and dignity the only salute from them Joe Biden deserves involves one finger American blood is not the currency of the world it cannot be borrowed exchanged our link to any man or any nation it's worth is immeasurable American patriots in uniform all signed a blank check to their nation and already under this administration Afghanistan Joe Biden Castro for 13 patriots through his reckless incompetence the path to American national security does not line American international interventionism it lies in securing our southern border not the Russia Ukraine border our greatness is forging a resistance to interference the war lobby has no ally in the America first Republicans we will preserve our strength or nationalism will champion America first today in America first forever we earned our greatness what others are in theirs and of Joe Biden as a prostitute or our preeminence to the military-industrial complex by the time Donald Trump returns will preserve this great city on a hill for the descendents of our grandchildren so I can get down with any congressman who uses the word medical or am sorry military-industrial complex have been talking a lot about the medical industrial complex but I can get down with any congressman any politician who wants to talk about wars has the balls to talk about the military-industrial complex so I'm kudos to you Madison Hawthorne so medicine Cothran has recently been there in the crosshairs of the cancel culture and they're coming after them basically try to make sure that he can't even run again and when he's what 2625 cannot run for Congress again or hold a spot in office as a result of taking part in an insurrection so there's a long article here I read it the first time on the spare you up at this time because I think that you know it come just perpetuates this idea you know if stupidity surrounding you know give tries to give legitimacy to their being baseless claims of election fraud and you know the January 6 insurrection is him so on the spare you but basically the idea is that somebody's filing a frivolous lawsuit or some type of frivolous you know motion to make sure that he can't run again based on the fact that he partook in a speech leading up to January 6 and had some type of conversation back and forth with the people who help to organize the event that led to the speech that he gave outside in January 6 so nothing on him and he literally is in a wheelchair is not like he was in of lead in the way in the up the stairs to the through the halls and on January 6 you know it and so is that the fact that they're trying to go after him based off of a congressman speaking at a very heightened state political rally and you're trying to make sure that he you know I'm pretty sure we want our politicians actually being a part of the boots on the ground movements that are happening within society we shouldn't be punishing people for partaking within the very thing that politicians are designed to have conversation surrounding and you want to strip him have his ability moving forward to it to maintain office seems crazy to me especially when you understand that Nancy Pelosi was wearing African you know like what was it like a garb or something around her head on the floor of the put the capital building you know saluting the black lives matter movement while they were rioting in the streets literally violently and you know saying that you know this is okay basically and so for them to be going after him you know it is is unbelievable to me over something as it is simple as speaking outside of a rally so that was the first thing now the biggest probably the biggest in this miserable transition probably the biggest person that got there at the crosshairs of cancel culture this week was Joe Rogan Joe Rogan had a few different apology videos that came out this week one was for him having guests on the show industry experts on his show he was basically apologizing for because some you know with Neil Young pulled his music from Spot if I and Neil Young is some artist from the 1970s simply relevant today and doesn't even own half his book of business you know when it comes to his royalties that he makes pulled his music office modified because he disagrees with the misinformation being pushed by Joe Rogan so Joe Rogan responded to that and basically gave a very generic type of apology video stating that you know I Inc. I can do better at having opposing viewpoints in but you know so let's let's go ahead and watch a little bit of that apology video here from Joe Rogan to make a video to address some of the controversy that's been going on over the past few days and first of all to say thank you to everyone that sent love and support I truly truly appreciate it and it's been very nice to hear from you I want to make this video first will because I think there's a lot of people that have a distorted perception of what I do may be based on sound bites or based on headlines of articles that are disparaging the podcast is been accused of spreading dangerous misinformation specifically about two episodes a little bit about some other ones but specifically about 21 with Dr. Peter McCullough and one with Dr. Robert Malone Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist and he is the most published physician in his field in history Dr. Robert Malone owns nine patents on the creation of mRNA vx technology and is at least partially responsible for the creation of the technology that led to mRNA vxs both these people are very highly credentialed very intelligent very accomplished people and they have an opinion that's different from the mainstream narrative I wanted to hear what their opinion is I had them on and because of that those episodes in particular that those episodes were labeled as being dangerous they had dangerous misinformation in them the problem I have with the term misinformation especially today is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact like for instance eight months ago if you said if you get vaccinated you can still catch coded and you can still spread covert you be removed from social media they would they would ban you from certain platforms now that's accepted as fact if you said I don't think cloth masks work you would be banned from social media now that's openly repeatedly stated on CNN if you said I think it's possible that Kovic 19 came from a lab you'd be banned from many social media platforms now that's on the cover of Newsweek all of those theories that a one point time were banned were openly discussed by those two men that have my podcasts that have been accused of dangerous misinformation I do not know if the right I don't know because I'm no doctor I'm not a scientist I'm just a person sits down talks to people in his conversations with them do I get things wrong absolutely I get things wrong but I try to correct them when ever I get something wrong to try to correct it because I'm interested in telling the truth I'm interested in finding out what the truth is I'm interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions I'm not interested in only talking to people that you have one perspective that's one of the reasons why had Sanjay goofed on Dr. Sanjay Gupta who ours respect very much and I really enjoyed our conversation together he has a different opinion than those men do I had Dr. Dr. Michael Auster home on at the very beginning of the pandemic he is on Pres. Biden's Kovic 19 advisory board I had Dr. Peter hotel is on who is vx expert I'm interested in finding out what is correct and fight I'm also finding out how people come to these conclusions and what the facts are now because of this controversy in there I'm sure there's a lot of other things going on behind the scenes of these controversies but Neil Young has removed his music from the the platform must modify and Joni Mitchell and apparently some other people want to as well I'm very sorry that they feel that way I most certainly don't want that you Neil Young fan of always been a Neil Young fan I'll tell you story the end of this about that one of things that spot if I want to do that I agree with is at the beginning of these controversial podcasts like specifically wants about Cove it is to put a disclaimer and say that you should speak with your physician and that these people and the opinions they express are contrary to the opinions of the consensus of experts which I think is very important sure have been on there I'm very happy with that also I think if there's anything that I've done that I could do better is have more experts with differing opinions right after I have the controversial ones I would most certainly be open to doing that and I would like to talk to some people that have the differing opinions on those podcasts in the future we'll see yield I do all the scheduling myself and that I don't always get it right this these podcasts are very strange because they're just conversations and oftentimes have no idea what to talk about until I sit down to talk to people and that's why some of my ideas are not that prepared or flushed out because I'm literally having them in real time but I do my best and they're just conversations and I think that's also the appeal of the show it's one of things that makes it interesting so I want to thanks bonfire for being so supportive during this time and I'm very sorry that this is happening to them and that there taken so much heat from it and so now the the Neil Young story so if you haven't watched the whole video you can go watch the new youngster it's kinda cool to hear a story about him being a security guard back in the day and Neil Young be in there in the response brawls breaking out and he brought up you don't go listen to the stories on his Instagram and yeah sure he can find his government so so that was the first one the first one he's just talking about basically these couple guys basely pulled her music nobody cares about and they pulled her music and so spot if I was getting some you know they made some uprising about it probably on Twitter or something and so Joe Rogan apologizes for that and that's not really know that wasn't the one this week that that was difficult for him to navigate that was fairly easy know you can just brush it off like a there's a reason I have these people on an in in into that point you know the people he was having a number industry experts is not like he was having on some homeless man off the street to talk about covert the 16 million people and even if he was yet to take that into consideration for every individual person who listens to a podcast gets to take that podcast like some of this things laminate Outlook I'm not an expert on most of the things that were talking about here right and you know that you should understand that what I'm talking about these things right on more of like you know that if I'm comity on I'm a color commentator here compact that I'm not the technical analyst so I'm you know just like him I'm going off the cuff the right things are to be said that are probably not very extremely well thought out every single time so you should give some grace on that but the people that he had on were industry experts these people were literally created the mRNA vx and so to to be if Neil Young thinks that he knows better than Dr. Malone: he's probably sadly mistaken right for for him that the try to hold that authority and so it was interesting to see him navigate this one and that was the first controversy and then came the second one and the second was a little bit more difficult for him to navigate because the second one has to do with surrounding race and and specifically surrounding kind of the N-word and a specific story that he got into and so you'll see that there is a compilation basically of him using the N word and in the ways that he was using it within these conversations was generally either speaking about it linguistically and kind of talking about how the word itself in the power fullness and the usefulness of that term within these cultures it is used in so many different ways right he says it within his apology video like it can be a punchline that can be as you know a term of endearment it can be you know an affirmation that can be you know some he's in all of these videos at least from the ones I understand I've seen the clips of he's either referencing somebody else saying the word he's either explaining how weird linguistically the word's usefulness is comparative to other words or I think that's it right so he's either talking about the word specifically in a technically linguistic way or he's referring to somebody else who use the word specifically in Joe Rogan you know in this video is gay like it's kind of like that that the N-word is like that you know Lord folder more in Harry Potter using the word folder Mart and Harry Potter is like using that the N-word hidden in English language you know and Joe Rogan is the the Harry Potter of the N-word you know trying that you know Harry would go on and say Lord Baltimore to everybody that he met and they'll be like super surprised and Joe Rogan's basically you know trying to devalue the word I guess not that you know never a single time in any of these clips can you ever find a single reference of him being specifically racist or using it to the manner that would be perceived as racist individually or sociologically speaking about a group so any of these situations that he's using this word was not specifically under the context of him being a racist he was speaking about the word itself are talking about somebody who use the word so let's go ahead and watch this video where he apologizes after discussing his use of this term but first let's go ahead and see if we can actually find the video where this woman uses it rational at him to spare you that I did that on the first round of this one where it didn't work correctly so let's miscarry that actually because you know it's just if D says them were 22 times in a row there's really not he gives no context rounded and I don't see a point of putting that on here but what I will show you is his response which is I think that's going to know that the woman who posted that was India Re: and she's at in the RE on Instagram IN DIA a RIE and within her videos she's talking about Joe Rogan and basically saying that while I decided to pull my and my music from Joe Rogan is well on the backs of all this controversy not because I don't like his covert misinformation but because he use these words or you knows gave the story that he talked about surrounding Joe Rogan so let me see if this is the video and if it is will go ahead and watch it for a second so here it is when I asked my people to modify the you know the negative thing you saying the word are you ready said that he is just like mega cooling these call you an interest like this boy that henag start call them their breadmaker that's on I thank the people who are leaving for the covert disinformation reasons and I think that they should I think that Joe Rogan has the right to say what he wants to say I think I have the right thing when I want to say so as an artist fields finalize built on the back of the music streaming so they take this money to build streaming in a pages and I hundred million dollars but they pay us .003% of the pain just take me off I don't want to generate money that is just take me off that's where on that and I know that I'm actually to be honest with you surprised that my statements were picked up because I thought people really not a listening example I'm the kind of thing whose two from the industry I am being heard and for that reason I want to clarify my statement again this is why what's this no white people we walked into Africa. When we walked in the door and there was no white people is okay take filling the hospital many things can be Dr. people are taken out of context is happened to me many times however only clear in no uncertain terms where I stand on this is that he shouldn't even be uttering the word don't even say under it is that Re: so there was her take specifically now what she says and there you know nobody really ever cares what I say I've never heard of this woman before India Re: but I do like the she says you know I didn't I get he gets to say whatever he wants I also get to pull my music because I don't want my music on that platform if there and allow him to be on the platform so I like that she said that at least you know II think that taking that word out of context and blowing it up specifically in using that you know as we've seen it's not Drake pulling his music off of specify it's usually these people who are making that .003% of a penny on every download and they get you know 30 of them a month with the probably not sacrificing very much for this you know stand on this hill so it is there merited to the things that she showed there and in should he be apologizing for you you probably don't want to say that in today's world you know I think if you understand the context of a podcast you know even this podcast like I just said what we just talked about is complete the off-the-cuff right now imagine the hits like imagine imagine your uncle having a podcast and he gets to talk to 16 million people a week for three hours for three episodes a week 1800 episodes into it do you think there is some share your uncle would say that would probably get him canceled laughing is probably something every single person would say in this situation that would get them canceled now that's not a justification for Joe Rogan saying the word of the story that ends up coming up here that he talks about but II think it is important to note that people say stupid things you know especially under the care of the context we not reading up at the Teleprompter everything that comes out of our mouth is just me talking to you is if her friends basically you know it is I'm just having a conversation and and I was a situations here and in and I think what he was try to do like I said being the Harry Potter book of the N-word is easy was trying to like strip power away from that word by saying it and saying how weird is this for Mike stepping aside from the way that our society looks at this sound that we make with our mouths or are allowed to make with her mouth unless you're a part of this specific certain section of society which is such a like a man-made cultivated even like thought process to be able to have that we first of all have a word that we give so many meetings to and then specifically the only one culture can use that word and every other culture can use up and especially if this you culture is that it's really bad like it is is a very interesting linguistic situation that that really is is not founded and on the other part of our language so you looking at it from that perspective you can get why you know he would try to maybe try and pull some take away some of the venom of that word I guess I don't know so let's let's go ahead and watch his response to him using that in that video that I did kinda skip through a couple of parts regardless like I said it was literally just over and over again that words and I just don't see it the reason for that on this show but let's go had a much his response to the office hello friends I'm making this video talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had a talk about publicly there's a video that's out it's a compilation of me saying the and word it's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast and Saul swooshed together and it looks like an horrible even to me now I know that to most people there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word nevermind publicly on a podcast and I agree with that now I haven't setting years but for a long time when I would bring that word up like even come up in conversation and stain is that of saying the N-word I would just say the word I thought as long as it was in context people would understand what I was doing like that context was pour the clipper talk about red fox how red Fox said that word on television in the 1970s and how times have changed so much since then or about how Richard Pryor use it as one of the titles of one of his albums or I was quoting a Lenny Bruce bid Oro's cloak quoting Paul Mooney bad aura I was talking to Quentin Tarantino using repeatedly in Pulp Fiction Orosz talking about how an Netflix executive ironically used it because he was trying to compare it to another offensive word he said out loud and they fired him not calling anybody were just saying the word out loud I was also talking about how there's not another word like it in the entire English language because it's a world where only one group of people is allowed to use and they can use in so many different ways like of a white person says that word it's racist and toxic but a black person can use it and it could be a punchline it could be a term of endearment it could be lyrics to a rap song can be a positive affirmation the very unusual word but it's not my word to use am well aware that now but for years I used it in that manner I never use it to be racist because I'm not racist but whenever you're in a situation where you have to say I'm not racist you flocked up and I clearly have flocked up and that's my intention to express myself in this video to say there's nothing I can do to take that back the I wish I could obviously that's not possible I do hope that if anything that this can be a teachable moment so in the first half that we just saw there was basically him saying yeah that was probably not the right move in in any kind of reiterated what I just talked about there was what she was like trying to take away some power from that word right by by instead of cowering away from the sound with your mouth because of the you know societal meanings behind it to try and identify kind of the weirdness of that situation so have a little bit of an issue with the second half loading here so let's see if we can get that to come up but I did find it interesting there you know what you'll see towards the end of this video if it comes up for us is that he does apologize right knee comes on says I messed up anytime you're in a situation with you trying to say I'm not racist you probably messed up right especially on this platform so you know in this particular situation and I think what he goes on to explain is a story that he talks about he says something about the planet of the apes and going to see a movie and he was dropped off in this like kind of you know predominantly black community and so he he says some kind of joke surrounding it and they they found that to be insensitive and he says it was is bad joke and it was clunky and everything I'm saying is off the cuff and I was stupid and that shouldn't of set it and I apologize if I find you apologize I didn't mean it that way I'm not racist and so you know what I think were seeing as them grabbing for straws when you have to sift through hundred platelike tens of thousands of hours of everybody's speech to find very small one set not even a you can even find a sentence to pace people off you had to find a word you had to find a word word word word word to put back to back to back because if you gave the whole sentence surrounding the contact people would be upset at him you know at least as much as they are now again and this is not defending the use of that word he probably shouldn't say you hit in today's society you know but it's an interesting predicament that he found himself in here and it kudos to spot a fire for holding their ground and all of these little controversies between if you don't remember the their employees at one point were protesting and doing like walkouts and probably like starving themselves from their vegan lunches head at some point because of Joe Rogan and then after that Neil Young pulls himself off the spot if I which probably loses you know $10 of market share total off of their company and then you know this one comes up so kudos to them for kind of sticking to their guns a little bit and you know backing him up and not pulling it and obviously they have a very very large investment into hidden Joe Rogan but he's probably also grown their base of users by mean I don't know about you but the only reason I have spot fire my phone is because I listen to some Joe Rogan episodes and so from their perspective you know it's probably money and it's probably you know obviously they could've pulled them very easily to if they look at it for you know from woke perspective so it would've been very easy for them to do so so good on them now the next thing to see here which is quite ironic is Whoopi Goldberg who at one point literally ahead of clip up of Whoopi Goldberg from the view making light of the fact that Joe Rogan was being you know put in the crosshairs of cancel culture in here she is six days after she is talk and shed about Joe Rogan getting canceled because a spot afire from the Neil Young situation she is to have suspended from her work for say in some stupid ship and I think this is a lesson that we can all learn about this you know cancel click cancel culture or society in situations like nobody's perfect everybody says stupid ship at some point even if your link you know you're gifted to it speaking right and you and you can think the things through before your essay them you're going to say something stupid eventually right like all your friends that from your high school note the stupid ship that came out of your mouth because I hung out with you enough right if you're around somebody long enough you're going to hear something that they said that's stupid and this is the case with with Whoopi Goldberg here it's like not like of the things that she said it's dangerous misinformation she's just a falcon idiot and she said something that was stupid that was might offend some people so that small minority of people will have you know a big enough Twitter presence to tip us off the company enough to make them think that they're going to you know lose money so they go after the person so in this situation will be Goldberg gets canceled this conversation that she has right here and then will move on from this this part of it so let's go ahead and watch will be covered but before we do that I

from schools and in this is why she get suspended for saying some stupid ship so her shoes schools books after one and wants of the state pulled to kill a Mockingbird off the required reading list after complaints from students and parents including a formal black student who said it made her uncomfortable and a Tennessee school put the graphic novel mouse out of their lessons on the Holocaust because it contains some immunity and some bad language personally I'm shocked because you know even the story of the mouse I'm I'm surprised that that's what that's what made you uncomfortable the fact that there was some nudity and having its it's about the Holocaust the killing of 6 million people went back didn't bother you what the domain I am not sure that they know what use they make a point as a kind of AI cannot yeah throw you off for night they made my history that makes my made me look bad well like this is why people doing it politely this is the jungle fight amongst yourselves but lacks behavior music they listen to and to say that when proving our or showing in the work of history or art or something happened that is bad language or nudity turn off reality TV turn off the radio turned everything they're doing these kids are exposed to the staff namely early inappropriate situations not ones where you're learning or teaching anonymity is that his is a drawing of his mom who died during the Holocaust contaminated and mouse which is the other listing saying what was going on in story it's about it's about the words about them and that I am not yet in one class but weren't because if you are sitting amongst lots of students and you reading it out loud comes up a lot and makes people uncomfortable and especially if you're the only yeah Black Canyon in the database on that list went there to talk about the check out another pension stop people from having it as reading but is stopping is required to meet and inspire the whale moving through the Florida legislature has now about banning any conversation in schools that make people feel uncomfortable because of their race or gender there is also in Florida bail Banning talking about LGBT Q conversations is being referred to as don't say go know what's happening with all of this banning going on you know we talked about the beloved being bad miles to kill a Mockingbird conversations I think of making it very difficult to teach kids what T-Mobile talk about and complain about people being snowflake phrases no-fly to the viewing is the greatest plan with the anti-history laws that started being passed the CRT allege CRT mother started being passed I don't think people saw far enough into the future you start banning discussions about race when you start banning discussions about the Holocaust and you start banning discussions about the LGBT Q community that's where it started and this was all very planned in and in my view and what bothers me the most is people saying I don't want my children to be uncomfortable well how about your children being uncomfortable in being in a a way of learning empathy and a way of of of learning sorrow in a way of of of lurking up being able to empathize with other people's plight I've always had of my children are subjected to racism at there's only three minutes left in the part where Whoopi Goldberg said some stupid stuff is coming right up so until I I don't want to listen to the view either I promise this is the most I've ever listen to it in my entire life so were in a move on theirs like two minutes left in this club for 2 1/2 minutes so stay with me here at a very early age which they are then your child should be okay with being having a little bit of discomfort and learning I ran as a medic that I am serve that young children are naturally empathetic yet removed and that the empathy is kind of drained out of them by their parents and things that they hear advance that song this is not a blog really has light South Pacific yeah my grandson I remember when he was around faithfully as though there was a kid was in trouble for some reason I Amicus Mattel to put my plans and put it on around them in right on with you when you talk about and I think that's what the children are naturally like that… You don't like what happened to his his friend who happens to be what he might feel terrible about what happened that doesn't mean he feels bad that he did something exactly because of the confusion that they're creating I believe what the faded college is this all started in colleges and universities and not wanting to make kids uncomfortable and we type that went to Michelle and actually Van Jones when he said if I send my kids to school I want them to be uncomfortable I want people to push back on their beliefs because otherwise were not parent kids glad to the real world were preparing them for a world that doesn't exist outside of their own house will also if you going to do this and let's be truthful about because the Holocaust isn't about race no it's not about emancipating that it's it's not about race it's not about what it is about because it it's about man's inhumanity to man that's what it's about credit to buy white supremacy and yet rated file number but these are two filmlike groups of people the brightly. Ms. White missing appointee missing the point now when you turn it into race goes down this alley let's talk about it for what it is it's how people treat each other it's a problem it doesn't matter if you're black or white because black white use it to everybody each each other so is it if you are uncomfortable if you hear about mouse should you be willing to change a child sell my God I wonder if that's me know that's not what they gonna save you say I don't want to be like hopefully so there was that that was the part she's had the Holocaust wasn't about race can and you even see the young comfortability like spread across this room and by the way I never really noticed this but the women in the view basically look like with you go to your iPhone and find the woman the Moji and hold it down you see all the different races like they like check the box like they had like a focus group me to hang around making sure they checked every single box of of nationality and race so it's funny to see valve laid out like that but so what she what she said there is the Holocaust was not about race and so you know you see that I don't even know her name in churches one of the more well-known ones there but the redhaired one saying I think I think it was him and she's will that was white on white so it's not about race it's about like man's inhumanity towards Mandan and so you even see there like without the context of the entire situation you use I saw great I hope you guys feeling I gave you the context you give you probably too much of the view in terms of contacts but you see it there that like you know if you just click that were she says the Holocaust wasn't about race and then you kind of just pull that out yeah it sounds it's a stupid statement is that is not a racist statement shouldn't have underlying like racism beliefs regarding the Holocaust and she's not a Holocaust denier she was like trying to make a more like philosophical point really poorly I think no so even in this case I get is so funny to see that cancer culture comes around to cancel the people who make a living off of canceling people and that's what you see here with Whoopi Goldberg sing some stupid ship she still probably shouldn't be canceled for should be suspended for saying something stupid what should've happened is and what you sought kind of there was her panel of people making her uncomfortable and you saw her kinda try to go on a rant there to cover up her tracks saying something stupid but even that you don't need to be canceled for that right and you saw that before that she said the N word in this clip right during the same week that she's going after Joe Rogan and she in them and was even on the show with the timer that after that happened which I'm sure she would've loved to be but then they like blurred her mouth and lights of super weird but so that was Whoopi Goldberg getting canceled for saying that the Holocaust was about race which is always a very stupid but no reason you should be losing your job maybe some should come to you and like debate you or at least make you feel stupid about it enough to where you go home and you're about to go to sleep and you can't really go to sleep because remember that one conversation where you said the Holocaust wasn't about race and everybody at the lunch table with you was like yeah I did was you dumb ass and you feel stupid for when you second-guess yourself before going to sleep about you you know I shouldn't said that and I feel stupid now I know you know sure that's how you make change right if you make somebody uncomfortable enough people to like being uncomfortable so that a change that their ways and probably not say something as stupid as that but that doesn't mean you lose your job doesn't mean that she should be pushed off the show even though she makes her living off of canceling people problem but basically so the next conversation here is around the the go fund me account so what happened here was the go fund me cancels freedom convoy and will be donating the 9 million to charity so there's an update roundness they decided that they're in a refund everybody but this says they go for me officially canceled the freedom convoy fundraiser on Friday and plans to distribute the remaining 9 million of donated funds to a credible and established charity the crowdfunding platform clean the fundraiser which raise $10 million in Canadian while in Canadian dollars and 8 million in USD in support of truckers protesting against Cove in 19 the vx mandates violating the terms of service which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment funny supports Pete's full protest and will put we believe that the was the intention of the freedom come by fundraiser when it was first created the company send the statement released Friday morning we now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity hit they go on the say from there go fund me account this is good for me supports people of peaceful protests and just reiterates religious others of the decision came after one day after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a military response to the protests was not in the cards right now in the House of Commons public safety and national security committee called fungal fund me to detail how it would ensure donations were being used to promote extremism and hate meanwhile freedom kindly Oregon organizer Tamara Leach announced Friday night that they have teamed up with give it send go another online platform to continue raising funds for truckers give him go or give Sango is going to enable us to get donations into the hands of truckers much much quicker she said if you can donate and help us keep the strikers going we plan to be here for a long time as long as it takes to ensure that your rights and freedoms are restored to go find me suspended the freedom convoys fundraiser to internal review on Wednesday after had accrued more than 10 million in donations the company had previously released 1 million to organizers after they provided a clear distribution plan and confirm funds will be used only for participants who travel to Ottawa to her to participate in a peaceful protest the organizers claimed that the funds will be used for expenses such as fuel gas what fuel and gas in the fuel of food and lodging with any leftover donations being gifted to a credible veterans organization which will be chosen by the donors go for me announced Friday they will no longer be releasing funds to the organizations because of how this situation has evolved no look no further funds will be directly distributed to freedom calmly organizers a company statement said we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the freedom convoy 22 organizers and verified by co-funding the company said donors have until February 19 to request a refund Trudeau and some of his liberal party allies have accused the convoy demonstrated of extremism and racism a charge that Leach strongly denied on Thursday we are here out of love for our families our communities and our nation these past two years the coven mandates have divided us she said in a statement this protest began because of the federal government's restrictions on truckers freedoms our movement has grown in Canada and across the world because, people are tired of the mandates and restrictions in their own lives that now seem to be doing more harm in good so sounds a lot like the government pressed go fund me to shut down the donations of the people literally metal refining here is like the linchpin of all these movements are being shut down in in all of the corporate governors right were finding that you know what was it in in this situation was go fund me you know in in the dirt looking to spot if I as being that linchpin for Joe Rogan and there you note that there any way or in any way that they can find somebody who they can utilize money to manipulate people there doing so go fund me as just another another piece of that right so so what were going to see here is that they actually moved over to a website called gifts and go Marina pull that website up here in a second and watch the video by the leader of the freedom convoy bullets talk about the freedom convoys are not familiar with what's going on now to worry now is basically there was some some mandates that came out between the United States government and the Canadian government is that if you are a trucker you have to coming up through the United States to Canada or from Canada to the United States I believe it's at least one of those I know that's at least one of those maybe both of them that you have to show your vx passport you have to show that your vaccinated to get in the door of a country that you have passport to so that was one of the mandates that they were basically going to Ottawa to shut down the streets over and over these mandates and this is this this grew over. – Very short and quick. Of time hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Ottawa and have been showing under I like the amount of love and peace that your seeing from that the leaders of this organization saying that were going to be peaceful everything were gonna do is out of love and were going to have fun and you watch these videos of them in the end are all just like hugging each other and listening to music and dancing and waving flags and it looks nothing like the protest that we've seen in the United States over the last two years nothing like the black lives matter protest nothing like these violent protests that we see and hear it looks like people there specifically to make a change and do it in a peaceful manner and there's been no footage nobody can find footage note you can't find a single clip right now somebody literally there was a there was bit of the picture being circulated of somebody with like a Nazi flag or Confederate flag and in within minutes of that flag being walked around with by these two guys they got the ship kicked out of them by four people Samaritans also there protesting and they took the flag and ripped away from them like that that's like, that's how it should be right so many wants to act up you might get your ass kicked right if you want to do some stupid like area Nazi flag you should probably get the Schick kicked out of you and get the flag from you that's what happened in the situation can lessen the most violent thing we've ever heard somebody beat up a Nazi like oh that's the worst thing that happened that the freedom convoy somebody beat up somebody with a Nazi flag Inverness strip them of their money literally the only violent thing I've ever heard of coming out of the fruit of company nickel funnies in a strip them of $10 million that people handed to them that they were to take a service charge from we'll need you we can literally send a falcon envelope to a PO Box we don't need go fund me we don't need Facebook we don't need Instagram we don't need any of these platforms that are going to be the Lynchburg linchpin of freedom we do not need you we will find a way whether that's sending an envelope to an auto PO Box with money in it to support these truckers fighting for our freedoms over that's moving off of social media right or whether it's moving over from go fund me to give some go Christian giving website that has not shut down anybody in this type of situation that I'm aware of we need to cut out the linchpins it needs to be a movement and what will find is there's going to be and when that biggest linchpin that we've seen happen as soon as possible what was it can even remember it now right as soon as that the social media app that was coming out got shut down by Amazon right what was it like twitter replacement I can't believe I can't members I had an account I was super excited about it and they cut it off at the knees I know you guys are thinking how stupid in my parlor Jesus man I can't believe I missed that for so long parlor did you find as I found it on my own I don't be mad at me parlor right during covert parlor was coming out this post replace Twitter supposed replace your social media is to be free speech it was like ran by a preacher like and Benigno and then they literally took they couldn't stop them anywhere else so they went to the servers the people that held the servers like Amazon servers the light cut off them from any sort using any server basically legitimately cut them off from the Internet we need to get away from these linchpins we need to stop paying for our own slavery under these corporations that want nothing about your best interest in mind it's all about corporatism it's all about government is all about totalitarianism we need to find a way to migrate away from them I'm glad that they did that with the freedom convoy bring that full circle for you guys I am I'm really glad that they moved over to give Sango and what I think they should do is find the damn PO Box that people can just send money to that's a great solution to old-fashioned will need you we do not need you give Sango I'll take a 20 and walk it to Ottawa before we need to use give her we do not before use go fund me again but thank God there's gifts and the go and the situation speaking of gifts and go let's go ahead and watch this video were gifts and go it is at this is their pay to give Sango.com/freedom convoy CONVOY 2022 freedom convoy 2022 giveSendgo.com?freedomconvoy2022 and here's the video by one of the organizers of the freedom cowboy to merrily check from beautiful downtown Ottawa on this lovely Friday afternoon we are here today to give you an update on the situation you find me as well as how you can continue to help the trekkers that we have on the ground here so as you know Tammy is only released a million of the over $10 million donated as far and they frozen the rest of it for now I wanted to date and accurate information on how you can support contractors that are on the ground here at the moment we decided to team up with an organization called caves and go and wishes that enable us to get donations into

In this week's episode of Red Pill Revolution, we look at the origin of many social norms found within the United States surrounding our children. Including the dark, torturous history of circumcision within the United States; the racist, self-proclaimed Eugenicist behind planned parenthood, and we even explore the morality of abortion through the lens of String Theory and the Multi-verse. We also touch on Natural Birth along with the profitable biotech and pharmaceutical industry that deals in the tissue taken from babies during this elective procedure.

jar there were you can just pay there or you can go to gifts and go into that directly there but that's I got right about I am truly excited to talk about this topic and I will talk about where it kind of started from so Candace Owens has been putting out a story on Instagram so if you don't follow her stories that she just think how on it with this and she's on a lot of it on vaccines she start to talk briefly about circumcision into the recent mother I guess shoes she recently had a child so this is something she is passion about some is near and dear to her heart to and you can see that in her videos she has been diving so deep in the individual vaccination such as rubella, and in the finding out that a lot of the some of the statistics that they actually had on the CDC website were completely fabricated had no statistical basis no actual real value, and they tried to hide the studies for the rubella so what what I'll give you a quick breakdown of what that looked like basically the CDC on the Web server now shows that if you view your child that you know there is 12.6 million cases of rubella of those hundreds of thousands of children died and as a result of that you know you need to get this vaccination and that once you dove deeper into that and she looked at the study that they were pulling from she found that the numbers were highly inflated there was actually only like 200,000 cases as opposed to 12 million and there was far far far 277 best total that caused them to just massively give these vaccines out to all children before they're even allowed to go to school so if they did upset me off on a tangent here and set me off to kind of dive deeper and this is this is a go to be a huge episode on vaccines that were really not even a touch on that much but it did Dick my interest in Bergen to talk about that briefly here because there was a recent Veritas video that was released that was showing that there was some botched administration is what is called here regarding the Cova 19 vaccinations that were being administered to children so what it was was that there was that there's a solution that you are required to mix the vaccine in before you administer it in the solution that year's mixing it with the matters it matters a lot and if you mix it with the wrong solution what they believe will happen at the very least will negate the actual effects of the vaccination itself and that most could cause really severe side effects which is obvious to the biggest concern here now with the project Veritas videos every single one of their videos come out are so hyped her so much hype around them that you expect there to be vicious like earth shattering revelations regarding vaccines and you just hope that anyone of these is actually to be the one that takes down the establishment I don't think that that's what this one was but I do think it's important to to to know about and understand the different ways that people are being affected by this and not just people now children are being affected by the something when I watch a quick portion of this video of the nurse who is coming out the whistleblower and she came out and said that she witness that she has the videos she has a video of this nurse talking about how they have no idea whether or not they had the correct solution and they found out that it was the wrong solution and that it had been administered to children and then she kind of discusses the way that was handled improperly how there was no warning signals for people what were these children and they were never really notified or anything like that so let's go ahead and watch us briefly on Morgan watch a few minutes of another entire video with a full 10 minute video will be on the subs that for you and number to move on into more of the historical weirdness of some of these things like circumcision and all that stuff to stick around for that but forcing me to touch on is this project Veritas video that was recently released and here is that wanted to without ever will like it and I could easily administer the vaccine and walked off these at little cadence damn damn babies at the end of day that little kids as a parent it's our job to protect children right you covered a lot of stories about big government run amok over the years but this one is truly shocking people nationwide are going to be outraged after watching the story but especially parents mind you this is not an anti-vaccine story and those you are about to witness are seemingly all good people trying their best to help others in a broken system for you and bacteria know I say he's very serious rated AAA patient will in the rush to get everyone vaccinated New York contracted with doc go and their subsidiary ambulance to provide covert vaccine clinics in schools homeless shelters and street corners throughout New York however it appears their poor recruitment process and training were severely lacking and may have jeopardize the safety of potentially thousands of people including young children analyze center's how long have you been administering vaccines for I had been up/felt since 2006 and I applied for a job to minister back. The first day I started the work I felt very unusual appellate panel support please say she will so you may first stay the vaccines must for ages between final and I call the supervisor and he said how do I look the factual was mutual that would have a definite service meaning vicious that every owner says that a game that fills any clinician getting an axle living in a class that is guidelines to abide by as a nurse administering any vaccines or any medications there's protocol follow nanoparticles you will and is there I there he will there will network a solar a story and I'll I lightbulb dispatch sale was to get I'll yeah yeah no allow whatever there is no rule insert in the box on the vaccinations so I can't educate parents on the next school what bothers me because that is my job as an current so what we just saw there was them kind of talking and I'm sorry if that you couldn't hear them discussing every well there were subtitles on that for a reason but the what what was happening as there is a subsidiary company that this state had hired to come in and administer vaccines and from the subsidiary company which was called ambulance a.m. BU owl is the L and Z ambulance that is not who I want injecting me with anything but this company called ambulance that was basically hiring people off the street based on their in the dad which said you just needed some form of medical experience and didn't have really any of the requirements for so when I get there it's all chaotic and they believe that they received up as they mixed it with bio static water or bacteriostatic water instead of saline solution which they don't know how it's been a mix or of how this can interact with these children's bodies and they were stored directly intended for people who are 5 to 11 years old and this just tells you what's happening across the country because of this is just one small area in it because all they're trying to do with these you see the way that that this company is hiring the way that this company was better than the first place to be hired by the city or the state it just all looks like a complete ship show nobody knows what they're doing because they don't no one knows what they're doing is throwing everything they can to get as many people injected with us as they can regardless of even if it's the correct formula right so from a parent's perspective how frustrating if if you are somebody who but believes that your child needs this vaccine to be safe and they're not even taking the proper precautions to make sure that's the case right so if you do take this seriously and if you do believe that your children neither this vaccine then you our trusting within the system but the people are doing the correct thing and at the very least mixing it correctly right that's crazy to me crazy that that the you know the difference between the bottles was a light green and a dark green and that's the way of organization here so it you know it was just a complete ship shower knew nobody knew what they were doing and as a result these children could have potentially life altering side effects because of this and mauled little mistake within this crazy unbelievable disorganized organization administering gene therapy to children between the ages of 5 to 11 with this type of disorganization so that's why think this is important to know is space specially if you are so many was going to get your child vaccinated maybe go through a company that spells ambulance right maybe that's a good place to start and then on the other side of it more than likely are 5 to 11-year-old has no statistical reason to get vaccinated in the first place but even if you believe you believe that they should which is okay for you and your children then make sure you go is obviously reasonable place who can actually spell the name of of their company correctly so let's move on and in this kind of started me into this deep dive between Candace Owens with her story going and all this vaccine stuff where she found all these statistics to be just completely inflated and wrong and then hidden and then the project Veritas video or they were specifically showing that children were affected by these type of disorganization within these pop up organizations that are hiring people off the street to inject your children with probably not even a background check so that inspired this this next part of this episode here so if you saw my post a little while ago I talked about I did and I are you and I told you when we first started this episode that I did actually have a son I recently my sons know about a little over a month old and super excited browned on my family I had two daughters before my son and he means the world to me my family means the world to me and something that my wife first first brought to my attention and in the know my wife had decided this is ours this is our second home birth that might my wife gave birth at home naturally come up with no chemicals no you know blockers nothing you know that that the medical intervention the medical industrial complex wants to profit off of so and that you know and I will will talk about that real quick is it's just so interesting to me that birth has been moved to this such a sterile way of of being at the you know if birth becoming this you know white gloved situation and in a in a hospital setting that literally the only time you ever go to the hospital with out having something going wrong where everything is going exactly as it should his birth raise the only time you go there and so it it's really it was really interesting to me because the you know we had a completely different flip-flop from our first child which was a elective C-section specifically for no other reason than just be Reno she was pretty young and did didn't really have enough confidence to do it there with the way that she did the next two times but found through that situation that she wanted to do it in a natural way the second and third time and about homebirth specifically was the coolest thing I've ever been a part of absolutely hands down the coolest thing I've ever been a part of and so one thing that she brought to my attention is very common in this no community of people who give birth at home which is a very tight knit community of people is very cool to see was the idea of circumcision and this wasn't a problem we had to address prior to this because I have two daughters right so she comes to me and being a man and being a circumcised man myself you know this is the way it is in the United States it seems it was a weird concept to me like the idea Allview everybody every guy I know for the most part was generally released on the if I may be just didn't know I sound like I asked him to show me are circumcised generally not state so this is a common thing within the United States and and so it what we don't realize it is that there is literally no reason for it there's no reason to circumcise your child other than religious reasons like the faith you know of Islam or Judaism is the only two people who generally circumcise their children out of religious faith and the only country that does it first year a static social social reasons is the eye states for the most part was for my understanding and so I went here and found some interesting conversations regarding circumcision because it is really interesting to know because if you asked anybody why why do we circumcise our children generally the answer you're going to get is because that's what we do because of normal write Oracle tell you some some crack a ship like you know it's going to cause infection or you know that what are the Reeve and other arguments as to cause bacteria or that you know it's gonna be too sensitive or that you know even more so the Kellogg argument which will get into in a minute which is pretty weird but this talks about some of the common myths opponents appears like everyone circumcise as well no it's at approximately a believe 70% of the world are uncircumcised and then on top of that within the United States there's fewer than 60% of babies in the US are circumcised and so if it if you even ask a physician why they circumcise children it's generally the answer that the video is it while it's easier to clean and that's it another way they used to tell you was that you know that other common mess with that is that it's safe and is harmless so the size the reality is that claiming circumcision essays safe is a dubious claim to say it's harmless is just flat wrong removing the foreskin can have many complications such as life-threatening bleeding infection meet Allstate and mediate all stenosis disfigurement excessive scarring and severe skin bridge adhesions some circumcised boys need more than one surgery to attempt to fix these man-made mutilations or as they say problems as bad as that sounds things can get even worse studies have reported that 117 babies die every year from circumcision or complications arising from wow additionally the trauma know the true the trauma and the stress from circumcision impacts the baby's developing brain inflicting's physiological trauma the strong pain signals impact the newly forming neural connections in the brain babies and during this pain also suffer from PTSD physicals physically circumcision destroys the functions that have that the foreskin performs during sex is one of the most touch sensitive parts of the penis removing address the changes the dynamics of sex people claim that circumcision is safe and harmless it is an allusion now one piece to know about that and this is one thing that Candace always brought up was the fact that they administer all babies vitamin K and the reason they administer all babies vitamin K is because they say that babies don't want blood won't clap properly but what was really happening is there saying that when your baby is circumcised they will bleed out if they don't have vitamin K likely but they administer the vitamin K shock to all babies regardless of sex so even female babies female babies get vitamin K just to specifically smooth over the fact that the only reason that there get administering vitamin K to children is because your child is going to be caught with a blade around their penis specifically for aesthetic reasons and the only reason they administer vitamin K to the women are that the female babies is because they want to just kind of hide that and muddy the waters a little bit is that you don't know that's the specific reason administer vitamin K because other than that why are we making an infant bleed well the only reason you're making an infant bleed is because you're circumcising them purely for aesthetic reasons right so let's let's go back one by the way mom my wife came to me and said hey you know we have this conversation around and it was hard for me to kind of wrestle with initially because just being an American man that's what we do and you don't want your son to be ostracized or thought of you know when I went to high school there is like we knew who the uncircumcised people were generally the site the girlfriend or the girl that the guy hooked up with is always going to you know it's it was a conversation that that they thought was funny to have and so even you know these things you remember these things from when you were a kid right now whether or not you should make this purely a static surgical decisions for your baby within the very few first days of their lives based on the potential reality of how they're going to be treated in high school from their sexual counterparts is a bit weird to begin with just outright but other than that you know that the whole idea surrounding it for from my perspective was like you know will uncircumcised my son to be circumcised this is how I look this is how she he should look you know it obviously don't want him to be the one person is talked about in school but luckily no it seems to be like to me that this is becoming a more mainstream conversation our parents just did whatever the hell the doctors told us to right and that's kind of it what this is going to be another you know red pill type of idea surrounding the medical industrial complex is every single one of these circumcisions costs $1500 and sometimes even added into the package when you when you're giving birth to the hospital it's so even if you don't aspirate it's added in there for $1500 in insurance coverage on medically billing that getting paid that earn them in obviously the medical and trees getting paid that so every single time and that goes back to like the initial reason surrounding you know natural birth and I think I'm obviously my and my wife's experience were to have a whole at all do a whole episode on the actual medical industrial complex changing birth into something that is now so commercialized and sterilized when it should be such a spiritual event with you and your partner that they've just taken taken completely taken away that that idea of that come in and I think that's so important when you realize how it we know when that when I was the first child that we had she had the elective C-section I was put into a corner was put in scrubs I had a mask on my face and I was put into a corner rack to Beirut barely even see anything of just sitting next to my wife not partaking in anything not having any such any any part of this my wife is completely doped up you know by drugs at this point to the point where she threw up on me before she even had our daughter because she had so many drugs pumped through her system so she didn't have to partake in the birthing process which her body was designed to do right because do you have to think medical industrial complex only commercialized birth 8590 years within the last 90 years like the 1920s and 30s it became a thing that were you went to the hospital to give birth prior to that it was almost always a midwife and almost always a homebirth and now within the last 90 years of of humanity's existence we decided that that's not the way to do it the way to do it is the way that makes them the most profit because the whole body is designed for each stage of it and when you experience a natural birth you see that you know the way that my wife was dealing with her pain was through tools that she innately was given at birth that the through her own you know feminine power in the when the where she had to channel when she was going through this process of bringing our children into the world was this completely like primal instinctual interaction that she had and to completely strip that away because when when me and my wife is giving birth to our second two children it was me and her the whole time I wasn't sitting somewhere in a corner shutting up and not being a part of the conversation I was sitting next to her I was pushing on her back I was pushing on her hips I was helping her I was talking her through is helping her figure catch her breath when she there were grabbing water before she even knew she needed they were doing all of it was me and her the midwife sits back basically and just coaches when things need to be progressed in a different way and other than that it's mostly just you and your partner in-house spiritual hike house spiritual that journey is and how important is that to a relationship like if you're new if you're in a new relationship especially when you haven't gone through the hardships of life together the whole it one of the most difficult situations will ever encounter together in in them the one of the ones will be able to draw back on throughout your entire relationship is the birth of your children and the interaction that you have with your partner on that in that way is is so deeply seated and so animalistic and in all of the chemicals that are being released not only by the female in the in the partnership and also the mail in the partnership so much of birth is instinctual and animalistic not sterile and medical and so the that the tools that you pull from that experience were were not just sitting in the corner the whole time and shutting up while she's giving birth and going through this process will she's on a bunch of basically comparable drugs to heroin but you're there with each other the whole time every minute coaching each other working with each other through that and then and having that that the greatest moment of your life at the peak of that you know togetherness and teamwork where you have your child and you have that experience and then the ability to draw back on that that moment together that you accomplish that thing together is it is a tool that you carry into the rest of your relationship I wholeheartedly believe and in the maybe there's you know there's that there's so much data that that could be muddied that throughout this time looking back further than those 90 years but I wholeheartedly believe if natural home births were more common that divorce would be less common because of the difficulty of the situation that you're dealing with a hand and so this comes back around to all of the reasons that they found the commercialized birth all of the money that they make it literally there's two ways that you can make money off of every single person in this world and it's when they enter this world and one is when they exit this world with commercialized both of them right in birth specifically only last 90 years this this medical intervention has become so common instant circumcision is no different $1500 that they make off of every single penis that they given elective surgery for aesthetic reasons to honor children with in their first several days of life so much so that it's a concern that they have to administer a vet of vitamin K shot to help with blood clotting routes as it stated here hundred and 17 male babies every single year die of circumcision or complications that doesn't even talk about that 10% which 10% of all of those circumcisions result in a botched circumcision which results in them having to go back and have it additional surgeries or can even affect them for their entire life with things like erectile dysfunction were doing this to a baby who's entered the world and in 45% 45% of circumcisions there administered some type of anesthesia or anesthetic 55% which is complete the on regular regulated part of the medical tech industry was is what type of you know industry-standard there are for anesthesia or in a static surrounding circumcisions and newborn infants within the first several days of their life 55% are done without any anesthetic in all the studies that were done regarding circumcision were halted because of the amount of pain in the control group which was not using an anesthetic so they had to halt the scientific studies that were done to see if they should be administering because the date they knew so much that they show that they could not continue to run the study with how much pain these babies were in without anesthetic so this goes on to say that baby know a myth about this is that babies can't feel or remember pain says that circumcision is extremely painful to the baby there taking out a literal scalpel to your babies private parts to to rip skin off of their with no anesthetic at all only 45% of doctors use any anesthesia at all there is no mandatory anesthesia or pain relief policy in force in hospitals for this procedure this is an important item to consider when discussing circumcision facts and that's so in this comes down to about the abortion conversation to this as fact number one my guess this is not what I was thinking so it's of this as fact number one the only person making such an important decision for their own body at at at an purely a static surgery the only person who should be deciding whether or not they want that aesthetic surgery is the child itself imagine this when it was industry standard in America when your daughter was born to give her breast implants purely aesthetic no reasoning at all funded if unfounded and in actual medical science to do so just purely aesthetic would say that that's the most crazy thing you've ever heard of in your life we are taking a scalpel around your your son or any child's privates for the purpose of anesthetic is acceptable find this really was the thing that got me away from from any type of argument any type of argument at all against circumcision firm for my child and is because he can always make that decision himself solid now or never thing you don't have to circumcise your child within the first two days or can ever happen they just say that because it is so painful that the only time they would like to do it is within those first two days put the pain is many different all you're doing is completely taking those first several days of their life and in causing more pain than there ever going to experience in the entirety of her life within the first several days without using any anesthetic for this if at any time your son decides that he wants to go get this purely elective and aesthetic surgery Don he can always do so but maybe you shouldn't be making purely aesthetic decisions for your son with an elective surgery within the first several days of his life especially because you're concerned about his sex life right if you believe the bushes surrounding you know that the better cleanliness or sensitivity or whatever that is do your research because you're wrong in any other argument is purely an aesthetic and about aesthetics and if you're so concerned about your child sex life that your you know willing to cut their deck with a knife maybe you should be reflecting on your beliefs how they should be looking with their potential sexual partner down the road maybe you thought in fact in America this is true circumcision started in America to save boys from masturbating that's right this fact it says is extensively documented in the historical literature the idea started in the 1890s that masturbation was a dirty file have pit that needed to be stopped the war on masturbation medical experts from across America began promoting circumcision to parents as a way to prevent masturbation the experts led parents to believe that masturbation would cause mental insanity it was also the root cause of many diseases notable people of the day like John Harvey Kellogg who is famous for his beliefs on circumcision Rowe in his book plain facts for young and old about curing masturbation a remedy which is almost always successful Kellogg says in small boys is circumcision the operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering anesthetic as the brief pain attending the app operation will have a solid solitary effect upon the mind especially if he is connected with the idea of punishment wow I had not even read that part yet so it wasn't even that there was some physical way that it would stop you from attempting to to masturbate later in your life or that it would be uncomfortable or that you would second-guess yourself because you know the whole idea was surrounding the psychology the psychology not even the physical aspects was not even like his argument was that hey you know it's gonna be uncomfortable if they masturbate it was that note they're going to have such pain he said they're going to endure such trauma from the circumcision itself that they're not even going to want to go near their Dick because because of the solitary effect upon the mind is specially if it is connected with the idea of punishment so he wanted and believed in you falcon thought it that you should circumcise your son because you're gonna rip his genitals with a knife's and make him in so much pain that the deep seated pain from cutting it with a knife specifically without administering anesthetic which 55% of doctors still hold true today will cause such psychological trauma surrounding that sexual organ that they won't even want to go near it for fear of punishment again that was his reasoning wow that is crazy wow that's crazy so goes on to say that circumcision is $1 billion industry when it comes to circumcision facts and myths this is a fact hospitals and doctors earn income by performing circumcisions since performing the procedure as part of their livelihood the medical community tends to be biased in favor of circumcision hospitals also get paid a facility fee for each circumcision the average amount invoiced to insurance carriers can be as much as $1500 per circumcision some hospitals bundle in the cost of the overall price for the delivery reducing circumcisions may prompt insurance carriers to lower the reimbursement rate since circumcision has a 11% complication rate these batches and complications called revision surgery must be repaired by pediatric urologist for even more money you have a one in 10% chance during the time that you decide to give a purely elective aesthetic surgery to your child's genitals that it will be mutilated as a result so much so that you will need a second surgery on their genitals while other hospitals may even use the free infant foreskin tissue in the revenue-generating clinical trials and they also may sell the infants for skin tissue to biotech and cosmetic companies for further profit which is where the real money is not only are they doing this completely negligently Ryan this should wake you up to the idea that that the medical farm at the medical industrial complex is not on your side they are not on your side they're doing this for purely profit there is no scientific reasoning for this and then there selling your child's mutilated skin two biotech companies and cosmetic companies for further profit so let's dive into that because this goes even deeper and crazier there is seven surprising things that circumcised foreskins are actually used for so when the hospital mutilates your child's genitals for no other reason other than profit for them in purely aesthetic reasons from the parents perspective unless you believe wrong science or articles that have no funding founding basis because there's no actual articles that will explain it scientifically there are selling that to these companies your child's my foreskins floating around somewhere with some hair growth product how horrifying how horrifying to think that stimulating hair growth is is the top one here is the basic functions of neonatal fibroblasts which is the term that they use for cells taken from infant foreskins after they a certain size is to keep things together in certain ends stimulate cell growth fibroblast taken from any human create strong bonds but fibroblasts taken from human infants are much stronger in 2012 company Hall histidine announced they will be creating an injectable hair growth stimulant from cells derived from neonatal foreskins or baby skin in other words for creating stem cells for facial cream and facial cream is one that came up in the pop-culture recent not recently but a few years ago that will watch the video of in a second it's disgusting when watching this video that the reactions of the crowd the reactions of Steve Harvey whose putting the stuff on his face and super weird restoring aging or damage skin and then this goes even deeper if you're talking about the you know baby cells you know being used to for revitalization of old ass people's skin so much so that they're willing to mutilate their genitals in in pursuit of it maybe there are some fundamental founding to some of these conspiracies surrounding people harvesting the blood of children for the same purpose and reasoning right maybe dive deeper and that later on the show later today but will get down the rabbit hole eventually is the Adrina Combe rabbit rabbit hole is truly a concerning one especially given the history founded you know within the Kings of Great Britain nerds and other things of the time you know with Vlad the inhaler literally historical accounts of him drinking the blood of his enemies after torturing them significantly to insight you know this type of frenzy that he would go into after taking this drug like frenzy and then the bloodlines of you know what Prince which one is it who's the anyways coming out and saying that he's basically related to flood the inhaler specifically I'll look that up again desired by mama do a deep dive on that eventually to is that the royal bloodlines in the actual you know Adrina chrome type you know because literally you can go online right now and find Adrina from being sold across the world you do it England dark web and find legitimate drink from you can find I'm sure on the regular web to you can find it there this is the real thing – this is not it's not crazy conspiracy ideas you know so I'm sure there's some layers of that deeply found within some of these conversations but the idea itself of of that it is not so so with you drawing back to the original conversation restoring aging and damage skin with something that they're using these foreskins for product testing treating bedsores and diabetic ulcers and crating bioengineered skin for burn victims ones are super concerning obvious either all concerning what the of the one that I found that I found the video on for you guys is this restoring aging or damage skin so in this video you are going to watch Steve Harvey right Steve Harvey administering this liquid on his face from this woman who eventually tells him it's from the blood and foreskins of babies go ahead and watch this video magic wrinkle and one at a birthday rat she said a numerical fountain of beer in her magic wrinkle sure hello on your hand due to an overdue yeah only Nanette Wright and Michael Ms. Ray which I shall eat and is made from growth hormones as human wrinkles is just distant. Even Ballmer. Bill May from human foreskin I users should appeal no you are a visual time omission from an open flame open although it is also no Mary felt the baby for oh baby. You also grow okay does it work human foreskin had actually been using growth factor there's a lot everything on it been shown to increase collagen production for another line the wrinkle help great mentoring will be looking over the that's going to be the creepiest most ominous video that I've seen in a very long time literally sitting there sadistically laughing joking and then making light of the fact that it's better because it's a baby for skin then grown-up foreskin how weird is that they're all sitting there laughing if not watching the video you should go see yourself this is titled did she just put liquid foreskin in my hand she says it Oprah's favorite which makes complete sense but he he left so that the audience lasted a right how if somebody's if you knew what went into that going on to your hand if you knew all of the pain in endorphins and and in the horrific experiences that were had by these infants in the first days of their life just so you could laugh it off in front of an entire crowd of people and make light of the fact of this why is it road all because it was ripped off of children with a scalpel in the first days of their life in agony without any anesthetic you falcon creep all of you what in the world the audience sitting there laughing at that how is that funny if you believe anything at all about you know energy your you know it it's any deeper spirituality around the world the world may be the lot of it which we don't understand right in the things that you're interacting with many cultures you know believe that there is there is innate energy that's passed through things you know especially like human interaction is even the cannibalistic cultures from that that is like the forte culture within the small island would basically cannibalize there are family members when they died and they kept doing it until basically they started to get these terrible brain diseases that cause them to die and so no modern experts flew into the small tribe of you know Third World country people and try to study and figure out why these people were dying and they found out because they were cannibalizing their family members on the discount a weird thing to do when you're saying cannibalizing health even had utensils Simon sorry we didn't see that I was using like a fork motion don't know why you would do that when you talk about cannibalism on so anyways there is this small tribe would you do in the until they found out that basically it was causing this terrible brain disease that cause them to die because anyways so is within cultures that they would do this because they believe the spirit was within that flesh that they consumed right and by consuming it they were allowing the Reeve reincarnations like spirit of their elders or their family members to to live on through them right okay now that we've fundamentally structured our conversation around the spirituality of this foreskin juice that he was just had on his hand we can understand how people believe you know maybe not in Western culture people believe that things can hold energy or spirits or Reno spirit or life force whatever you want to call it an innately when you you know carve off the skin of somebody and somehow create this facial oil from it and that what came with that action of treating a child that way and all the rest of the horrific emotions that came with that and in that the pain of this baby was in the first days of their life and now you're taking that energy write that that foreskin juice in this case and rubbing it on your face what kind of karma do you think that gives you health like if you're not even going to have a conversation surrounding you know thinking that's terrible new act except it you know what what type of energy are you bring into your life by by pulling in of using a facial or a hand cream that was made from the tier literally the tears agony and pain of babies and you're using it to get rid of those wrinkles kinda weird to me so is super weird use of of this force can be just an example of that that's one example and in how culture looks at this situation not as one of the that the babies are just like these inanimate objects right that have no existence to them in this you know packaged facial oil how far removed are we from that process right to only Minot would leave and let the parent in the room when they're doing this with how much pain these babies must be and I don't know but God I can imagine ever being somebody who utilizes a product that is built literally on the pain of infants and then laughing about it putting them on a TV show to promote it and talking about all will Oprah loves it so you should to talk you that's disgusting so then where can I go next in this conversation where this kind of takes a little turn here and I'll try to do this in a different way than you've herby some sure you've heard these arguments before and and I wanted to take it from a purely philosophical perspective not in almost like scientific perspective than one of like the way the normal conversations have surround this topic because I know it's a very touching topic for some people and I understand that for sure I get it 100% so the way that will approach a so is aware where I start with this topic and before we do that before we do that was to go ahead and do

misinformation Mafia sweaters which I think are pretty cool to be adding and updating those things as time goes on so I appreciate let's jump into this topic so what when the wind I've heard people talk about this would like what are the two most horrific things that we do today that were to look back on the hundred 5200 years from now and be like what Duff Falk were these barbarians doing in 2022 and there's two things that a lot of people will point to when you have those conversations or you asked that question in the first thing is circumcision there is no fundamental scientific reasoning for it other than the statics and when you realize that the pain and agony and suffering that goes into it is not justifiable in the second one that people bring up is the conversation of abortion and again I know this is a tough conversation have so I'm going to try to it in a way that you know were not having the same argument you've heard hundreds of times on this topic and it will be a unique perspective I hope for you and so the way that I look at abortion in the way that kind of crowded into this idea of this topic is from is I actually had like almost like a revelation on and what what got me I'm you I earlier in my life I was very pro-non-any decision on the I didn't take a stand so you know I did I took a knife six sisters I understand that there there's obviously situations people put on that are terribly difficult right I get it but where I start to look at the spur from this perspective it is if you understand this is where the so give us a ticket attorney apart and expect if you understand the way that string theory operates if you understand how time is non-linear right in the same way that I exist right now here at 28 years old with this podcast is the same way and currently existing on another plane and in my infancy which is the same time I'm also you know experiencing a life on a different multi-verse at the age of 90 or another when I Artie died I so there's all these different you know and don't look to me to explain string theory to you I barely understand it myself but I do understand is the idea of time being nonlinear right you are not born and then you live in this you know this progression of of time in which we call it which is simply just a measurement of movement around us if you think the way that we just measure the sun and the movement are that we see around us in the cosmos is how many days we have is how many weeks we have is the buyer based on the cycles that we see that's what time is but time really is nonlinear and time is and even existing and besides the measurements that we make of it right so you understand that in the way the string theory operates is that there is multiple things going on in any time a decision is made multiple branches branch off of other opportunities for other existences on other planes and so when a baby is consists at the con the when the baby when the sperm and egg meet each other that causes a ripple effect of hundreds of millions of potential realities hundreds of millions of potential life set that baby lives ages I and in these are all happening simultaneously in other in an different realities right and this is just the one that we occupy here today but as soon as the egg and that sperm meet millions of branches of life opportunity time existence already exist that baby in some other existence is already 55 years old with the family as a grandchild on the way the second the agonist for me excuse me so the second that that happens a a a branch of life in a branch of existence immediately flickers off in a million different directions so the second that that baby is conceived they have a life they have children they have a job somewhere they have a reality they have love they have passion they have hobbies they have friends they have experiences they have all of these things already exist the second that sperm and egg meet each other in the viable viable meaning they meet each other and they actually connect and become an embryo right so the second they touch each other branches off into a million different directions and in this idea of reality and this idea of time in simply taking a sip scissors to one of those branches right that the branch being our reality in this space and this time that we occupy on this plane of the multi-verse the idea of simply taking scissors to that and cutting it does not take away that embryo in sperm's existence on the other branches which already exist all you're doing is killing that baby's existence here today your killing to all of the branches of life that exists down the road as a result of the sperm meeting the egg and the realities that are created as a result there Hope you follow that because nothing that's unique perspective on on abortion if you understand the idea that time is nonlinear and that baby begins to exist already the second that the interaction happens and they connect it already is in existence the Artie has children started eating cereal somewhere on a different plane of time and reality and all you're doing is stripping it of that right to exist in this reality today right so it's an interesting perspective to me because it made me start to question that any of the arguments that are had surrounding no time of conception viability age whatever because all you're doing is choosing a different time to sniff that branch and whether you snipped that branch by putting a gun to a person's head at 50 years old and pulling the trigger and killing them then are you doing sniffing that branch and the possibilities of of of them existing further in this reality no you doing by doing of beginning is is taking away the opportunity for them to exist here but they still exist there still somewhere on another plane of existence that still happened it's Artie is already happen you cannot take that away simply by taking scissors to that branch and I think that that that perspective can can start to make your belief in in whether you know is this existing here today and if so do I wanted to if it hasn't already it already has it already happened you already in the decisions Artie been made on your behalf right you don't get to take scissors to that now right just the same way that you won't to point a gun to the guys had a 50 years old and pulled the trigger the legal this murder so is taking scissors to that branch at six weeks 10 weeks whatever disgusting you know eight months whatever they do right obviously you know there's always the argument of what if some is raped or whether if there do you know 12 years old or what if this one is that the reality is that's not 99% of abortions and 99% of abortions are happen out of convenience not out of necessity for medical reasons that's a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people in this a really emotional conversation for women and then I get it because in any they don't even want Illinois some women to say you know your manual can the pinion right I get that because I can I physically cannot have this experience however when I can understand is that the women that the woman is the victim this was a highly cyst systematic way of developing eugenics within our society were in a dive deeper into that and in just a moment with who basically started Planned Parenthood which was Margit Margaret Sanger a self-proclaimed eugenicists in the self-proclaimed racist who wanted to terminate you know specific subcultures of the United States and so the women are the victims in and when you make a decision that so difficult to make like having an abortion is you have to protect yourself from that decision you have to you know you have to make it so that you cute cute you can't be consciously capable of ending some of his life and in you weren't you were coerced into believing that it was acceptable in the societal structure that we hold today so with the woman that's had this happen is not that the person that were accusing of doing these things and saying that they're egregious that the person who did that is is just as much the victim who is made to believe that these things were acceptable and socially positioned in a way that it was so easy to do so out of convenience is a let's start with the beginning with Margaret Sanger and realize where did abortion begin and went to the become such a commonplace thing because this has not know people want you to believe that abortions have been cooked recurring dislike across the board for millennia and that's not specifically the case at least not in the numbers that were seen today at such high alarming rates this all starts to make sense when you see that Planned Parenthood is funded by the Bill and Melinda and Melinda Gates foundation also self-proclaimed eugenicists as shown by no specific seminars and in statements that Bill Gates is made interestingly enough Bill Gates father actually was the president of Planned Parenthood very close to the time and with connection to Margaret Sanger when she came out in the end was a big proponent of it so there's this video there were no watch real quick I think it's important to understand the background of Margaret Sanger meant to see what type of person she was in some of the beliefs that she held number and have a quick conversation surrounding a little bit about you know the beginning of Planned Parenthood which was originally called this the the will will will see and hear someone go ahead and start this begin this quick video for us or the Idaho song Margaret Sanger has been a harrowing in the eyes of others is been a destructive force in her own words finger pushed for a society that limited burst to those she deemed fit to have children lacking innovation and where is my mechanic and an event that happened to see how my parents had no chance in the world can be a human being practically delinquent also getting mop and handling in 1916 Sager open the country's first birth control clinic as a member of the American eugenics Society she advocated improving the genetic composition of humans controlled reproduction of different races and classes she often wrote about the issue in the journal she found it call the birth control review in 1919 writing I personally believe in the sterilization of the feebleminded the insane and the syphilitic the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over fertility of the mentally and physically defective many point to a 1923 New York Times interview as proof of same as racist motives in which she referred to people as we saying it means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society and the gradual suppression elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization Hayden Ludwick and investigative researcher has extensively studied fingers life and writings she talked about the need for race parents route to controlling these lease basically undesirable people in 1939 after opening another clinic in Harlem the birth-control activist launched the Negro project an initiative supported by black leaders such as civil rights activist WPB do boys critics claim the program used the pretense of better health and family planning for poor Blacks in the South as an attempt to limit the black race Ludvig says some on the left grapple with fingers past and how to interpret her legacy they know when she writes about human release they know that extended-stay circles they know us discussing is the last will never abandon Margaret Sanger because if they do need you she's the foundation show many of their views single word shared her vision for preferred race women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan writing in her autobiography always to me any aroused group was a good group despite those views liberals praise fingers work while ignoring her history I admire Margaret Sanger enormously your tenacity this is horribly I am really in all of her Ryan Bamberger founder of the radiance foundation says abortion proponents are working to clean up singers past and what she stood for they have to reinvent her every time they talk about her in order to justify dear celebration of her former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson says those inside the abortion industry are trying to overlook fingers racist views to give you an answer like Leon action yes Margaret Sanger was was a racist but free body was a racist back then you expect it because she is your hero and she has to be here here well you cannot question Planned Parenthood 1997 Stephen Mosher of the population research Institute wrote about the push to repackage Margaret Sanger in the Wall Street Journal the reason I call it the repackaging of Margaret Sanger is because after the Nazi regime destroyed the legitimacy of eugenics forever they then went back and said all she was just an early feminist she was just an early supporter of of family planning no she wasn't now she was a supporter of giving IQ tests the people she was in favor of using those IQ tests to determine should be sterilized and who should have filled children in her response title the demonization of Margaret Sanger Alexander's finger her grandson and president of Planned Parenthood at the time called Mother's editorial unfair in the same piece Esther Katz director of NYU's Margaret Sanger papers project claimed evidence revealing Sandra did not rationalize or support for birth control on racist grounds that she never advocated genocidal policies aimed at racial ethnic or religious groups and that she in fact believed access to birth control would benefit not eliminate minority populations Dr. Katz turned down our request for an interview although in this article the editor is public authority interpreting Margaret Sankar she wrote by our current highly sensitized standards some of her attitudes and statements can be construed as racist elitist ethnocentric and not political so it looks like Bill Gates dad Bill Senior was president between possibly the time that her grandson was even president so he's like in the middle of the Singer sandwich and this woman is a part of the eugenicists group or foundation right which tells you her belief systems and if you understand the time that this was done you understand who she is speaking about specifically when she says syphilitic right she's a racist she gave rallies at the KKK the female KKK rallies and then she pushed these these Planned Parenthood's 80% of Planned Parenthood's are in low socioeconomic areas 80% of them and disproportionately affect minorities which they try to give you the right as freedom right you all we would want to mess with your freedom bluntly put Planned Parenthood at every corner of your your area of this you know your location where most people within that racial group live and you understand that you know the time the studies that I was reading that basically 13% of people within United States were black or African American and they made up 30% of all abortions disproportionately affected their generational tree branch of of their children 30% of all abortions are done to women and were African American a black and Hispanics are out of the absolutely disproportionally effective as well because they did position them in places where that there those people are more likely to be within these racial socioeconomic positions of society and they do that intentionally you think that's all you think is unintentional you think it's because you know the Bill Gates daughter is got knocked up and you know she needs to go to get an abortion no now they're trying to stop specific sections of our culture from reproducing and are doing it under the guise of your personal liberty and freedom just like you're doing right now with everything else it's crazy it's crazy and to think how much that has disproportionately affected our history any one of those kids that had had had been aborted murdered is the better term because abortion is just a term used in lieu of murder because they try to instill the idea of linguistically that is is not when it is the end of a life your putting a period at the end of that life doesn't in the sentence never existed so you know it took to me at you have to be there the cause and the reason behind it and the person who founded Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger the person who found it who actually got the name I pulled out this little piece from this book that I was reading called cold blue inside the medical industrial complex by Mike McGee MA GE page 76 talks about Margaret Singer of the birth control Federation of America sources for marrying allow reaching out for financial support she turned to the dynamic advertising man Albert Lasker Albert Lasker was the one who was a big piece one of the most infamous marketers of all time who is in a basically assisted with the marketing of cigarettes through doctors and all of that deal did back in the day when marketing was like this just like guerrilla warfare Albert Laster is a very very famous marketer and who would launch some of America's most recognizable consumer brands including Lucky strike cigarettes Wrigley's chewing gum pep this pep so wouldn't toothpaste in sun-kissed oranges known as the father of modern advertising Lasker was also politically connected having helped engineered Warren Harding successful presidential campaign in 1920 20 years and Lasker admired her intensity is talking about Mary Mary Lasker in Florence Mahoney but Mary's Senior Lasker admired her intensity and a Mary ended up actually marrying Albert and took on his last name of Lasker who it was a part of Margaret Singer was doing Margaret Sanger time so basically what what Albert Lasker ended up doing was is basically helping them reposition the idea and re-advertise the way that the birth control Federation of America because that's

movement is interested social Set up plans in coming this wow that sounds like a party I want to be there that you compared to what were about to watch with Biden talking that seemed they were all hike the only sound like they had some beers before they went home for home but you know every every seal time is unlike the real reason the glass when he gave a new restriction that was relieved and those are like people who are a part of the of their you know government system so that's pretty funny how they were just reacting but you heard it is there that you know England is now going away from any mass mandates are going away from any mandatory vaccination you know showing your vaccine card to be able to work throwing away from working from home the going away from you school restrictions or mandates for children anything at all that they're going away from all these things into me that that the part of that that's so alarming when you know you will you think about the I states that sound it feels like we you know that a country forever right it feels like the world has never existed without the America has had especially with the way that you know Western culture is influence the world but this is the case with the world of fear where we are one of the fairly as newest countries in the world write what were what 300 years old or so right in 1776 2022 we don't do the math where a very new country and into see that you know within several of you know several hundred years few hundred years not even several right we completely lost away right we are now you know that that that we are what we so feared right we are our government now has become one that is more totalitarian than the one that hundreds of thousands if not millions of people from all over the world fleet from fleeing from you know that the The Queens monarchy and the totalitarian ways that they had it in the UK and in Great Britain and you know the area so it's crazy to me and into think about what what what our founding fathers think what what would they think right now they were real George Washington's rose up from the dead and you know was sitting here watching the discussion of Joe Biden talking about other than a key keep restrictions and how you need 1/3 booster and you know all of these restrictions are remaining in place and yet England the Queen of England and parliament and in this prime minister decided to completely relieve their citizens of any you know of their totalitarian you know decisions for them I couldn't I can imagine what they would think I absolutely cannot fathom how they would feel knowing that while you know that today's Great Britain is is completely mandate free United States still is imposing vaccine mandates for healthcare workers which is a whole another conversation that we really should get into the fact that that's you know that that the healthcare workers that that the individuals that that the single sector of the country who is educated specifically on making medical decisions is no longer able to make medical decisions not only you know further patients but but specifically for themselves for their own medical decisions for the for their body and I know a lot of people were affected by this you know nurses doctors and surgeons there's a will that is so many people who are who are going to affect this and in and truly with us to come down to you know talking about the chain of events that connect happen with this in a come down to us is healthcare workers no longer being employee who hold that belief to be true and in art manipulated bolt based on your finances or or job position there can if they're not at work for the hospital settings and in order to have a shortage of 11 if talking there and there to complain about that shortage in an opinion on the people were unvaccinated will know it was because your dumb ass decided to let people who are vaccinated and covert positive still work but you won't even let the people who had covert and have immunity and have antibodies you are unvaccinated not work who aren't sick it it actually makes no sense so crazy to me the fact that were sitting here watching you know the Prime Minister Boris Johnson talk about their done with any mandates done with any restrictions and you on that same day are president of the United States right now is sitting in front of a group of reporters and saying how you know you need to get boosted right it it's crazy so let's go ahead and will dive into that conversational quick let's go ahead and him and watch some of the videos of the Biden you know kind of compare and contrast you know that party in the pub with Boris Johnson to what were going to see here with Biden because it is kind of a stark difference and when we go into these you know this these questions and answers with Joe Biden it is truly you know it's it's it's all concerning to me is no other way to put it so concerning to me that somebody will with that what little mental capacity and capabilities of this man has left to even finish a sentence let alone make world changing decisions in a time of were more on the cusp of of potential war between Russia and Ukraine and the effects of this can have on NATO and the effect this can I have on the United States and you know the fact that this man is in power mid in the IBCs nonpower righties be manipulated in and he couldn't you know it if you didn't have these cue cards in front of a maneuver to see that on his video you're in a see if everything the time he has a list of people that he supposed to call on for questions in the he obviously it probably is a probably because he Artie has it in front of him and you can tell is looking at this piece of paper to answer these questions so but what you know what's jumping to well at present Biden on the coronavirus we are tragically approaching nearly 1 million Americans who died and I'd like to ask you why it is during your three and half hour virtual summit in November with the Chinese president he didn't press for transparency and also whether that has anything to do with your sons involvement in an investment firm controlled by Chinese state owned entities the answer is that we did did reach the question of transparency I spent a lot of time with she the fact is that they're just not just not being transparent transparency on the coronavirus origins yes so Biden just said no that the original question asked by this guy wasn't in fact a soft focus towards the end we didn't wasn't calling specific young people they were kind of taken a Mike but he said to him you know why why did you not push for transparency and he wasn't very specific in the initial question obviously but that's why he elaborated mid response by Joe Biden to make sure that he is sure that he wants to answer this question this way so what this reporter said was why did you not push for transparency regarding the origins of coven 19 and does it have to do with the fact that your son is taking millions of dollars from Chinese corporations which are directly attracted attached to the Chinese communist party why did you push for transparency regarding this leaking from a lab is what he just asked is it because your son is taking millions of dollars from this countries government and he says I did push for transparency and then will wash this year and he and he asked him again right hey can you clarify I mean on coalbed the origins and he says yes I asked for transparency and they didn't give it to us so even Joe Biden and as he just showed in the way that he answer this question Joe Biden the president of the United States is now admitted to questioning the origins of coven 19 and believes enough to ask China Chinese officials if it came from a lab in Wuhan is what he just admitted to all while every a single person is still being censored for talking about this on social media all while you know people within Senate and Congress are being ridiculed for even mentioning the idea of a coming from a lab fee all while media outlets are key-wording you know pod casters injured Joe Rogan's and in imminent sub stack writers and who are talking about these things honestly are the president of the states just said that he believes it enough to ask the leader of the Chinese communist party whether or not it leaked from the lab and he said they won't give us transparency and then says not should about Hunter Biden obviously but let's let's watch it through transparency on the coronavirus origins yes and you did do have virtual summit is the reason your press staff was unaware of that and what did you say to the Chinese president and they weren't with me the entire time look I made it clear I thought that China had an obligation to be more forthcoming exactly what the source of the virus was in working yes so there's a full answer he just admitted to specifically questioning the Chinese Communist Party regarding the origins of covert 19 now where do we go from here what is that mean for all of the censorship all of the narrative enforcers all of the fact checkers that have come in and say that this is a unfounded conspiracy theory right are we going to fact check those people do they have to tell the truth down to they have to redact that information and correct your information say hey the president of EI states actually looking at this seriously maybe we should two or were they also look at the whole time and because their narrative has broke down so much and because of those military documents that were released by project Veritas recently have they had the step back and say yes we are investigating this and were investigating a very seriously because you know when you guys said it you know it must've been wrong but until we say it's truth is not truth that's why you can't do those things in Avon still doubt in people sold much by doing that right that you know the media companies that have me know that that the fact checkers the narrative enforcers have have lost the people they've lost the people over pushing these narratives that they knew the entire time were incorrect or factually incorrect and then beat you with you no censorship stick if you said shut about it where do we go from here write what is this me and if he gets the coal it in a product in a in a and in front of reporters of every single media outlet every single media major media outlet that's allowed to be in their right is in their and he's answering this question talking about the origins of covert 19 this should be everywhere and I guarantee you this from what I saw this is not a specific question that everybody was raising answer questions about so far and then maybe they will and hopefully that will but I haven't seen this clip anywhere you I seen a few clips, I had to watch this entire thing an hour and 10 minutes this is an hour and 10 minutes and and 30 you know 34 seconds now is the end of it but I'm B was on minute he was answering a question so you want to watch the whole thing but none of this information is anywhere and nobody's mention the fact that the president of the United States just admitted to questioning the Chinese communist party regarding the origins of covert 19 that coming from a lab in Wuhan but if I put this spoke about Instagram tomorrow or wherever tomorrow you know that is can I get no views to them to get shadow band for even using those words right even still today after a present address the situation in front of all of the major media companies but you can't talk about right you're not allowed to say those words right you're not allowed to question her narrative it's unbelievable so the Nexium wanted to show you here is a little bit of a Freudian slip I think with Biden IIII do think that there was a little bit more to what the statement is him him will talk about what it could been here so so watch this clip and in and see if you see what I see let's let's look at 12 if you don't mind you counted the number of Americans who are now fully vaccinated with two shots but some of your own medical advisor say if people aren't fully protected unless they had that third shot a booster why hasn't this White House changed the definition of fully vaccinated to include that third booster shot is it because the numbers of fully vaccinated Americans would suddenly look a lot less know that all is this this this this is because this is become clear clear and every time I speak of I say if you've been vaccinated get your booster shot everybody get the booster shot it's the envelope the optimum protection you could have protected very well with two shots if the supplies are anyway protected did you see it to see what he just said there was a parent a parenting of the interview with the Pfizer CEOs directly who said if you have two shots you have virtually no immunity but if you have three shots you you got a good chance and that's why he said Pfizer there make no mistake about it this man just did that this man being the president of the art students just had a Freudian slip a subconscious slip from him at some point seeing that clip Joe Biden at some point saw the president the CEO of Pfizer talking about how two shots makes you not very immune and in three shots that booster really does it for you but then he backtracks on it that's why he is soon as he said Pfizer he realizes that he messes up and he immediately starts to backtrack because you know in and in the you have to kind of you know understand that what he is going on in his brain is not generally what going on to me and yours is not this continual train of thought and all this that you hear from him is him you know this the same way that you know I forget the name of word and you know somebody has to interject and tell it to me because I'm you know have a you know a brain far this man's entire life is a brain for everything that comes out of his mouth he has no idea what he's gonna say next that's why you see there was there were some slip-ups between his is conversation about Russia there were some slip-ups about his conversation regarding obviously in this case the Pfizer and the boosters and I truly do believe I truly do believe that Joe Biden saw the clip saw the clip of the CEO of Pfizer stating that two vaccines were are now ineffective and that there is a need for 1/3 for any effectiveness because the Pfizer CEO said the rubric gives it very little protection if if any at all about two vaccines but three vaccines that booster is really going to get you there although what we found out now is the third vaccine the boost that the boost as they're calling it which is the stupidest marketing ploy in the in history the boost it really gives you immunity right now that this one until it doesn't and then we cavalrymen have another one for you and you better take that one to routes are not fully vaccinated and in now year you're on the team of the conspiracy theorists so let's look at that again the number and actually watch that Pfizer quit because I think this is important I are truly 100% believe that you know kind of breaking down the way that this man's monkey brain is working over there or not lack there of working with it what he just did was reference that video with the Pfizer CEO and you'll see why in a second if you haven't seen the video ready to watch us again make note of his speech pattern here make note of how he uses the word Pfizer specifically and make note of the sentence structure because he almost directly parrots the Pfizer CEO so watch it one more time and then we'll watch the Pfizer CEO specifically talking about it and then we'll talk about that it's the level of the optimum and every time I speak of I say if you been vaccinated get your booster shot everybody get the booster shot this the envelope the optimum protection you could have your protected very well with two shots if the supervisor anyway checked but you are better protected with the Bush definition right now five and if you didn't just hear that that was the reporter reminding him the actual question because he went off in a tangent referencing this this Pfizer CEO statement regarding two boosters he and he tries to correct this Pfizer statement because obviously there was some conversation around how this is you know fueling the disbelief within the vaccine in in his war room with his constituents with his advisers so you see him trying to you know subconsciously you know I don't know if this was his doing or someone else's but he either had a Freudian slip and he is mentioning this Pfizer CEOs conversation where he says that to vaccines do nothing and that you need 1/3 and he tries to combat the CEO of this company while mentioning this company's name and save is incorrect so he's directly and I don't know whether it was a Freudian slip and he was just trying to me was parroting the CEO statement just in a way that he thought was positive instead of negative or if he was directly trying to combat that no I don't think that he is smart enough to do that I think that he was spit in and you know it's it's hard with Joe Biden that you know he he's it it's hard to look at him and not have a little bit of empathy for this old man who has no right being in this position who is obviously severely declining mentally and it you know is dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever it is that he has is going to progress as a result of all the stress and knowing all these things and I truly do default in of the fact that his wife is allowing him to go through all this is is horrible because you anyways back back to it let's let's go ahead and watch that the Pfizer CEOs statement here and then I did actually have to go to I had to go to rumble for this and into to get this video because you obviously cannot find on YouTube with the and although the three doses of optional for very limited production equipment the city does the the author reasonable protection against hospitalization and best in a given phase is a very good thank less protection against infection now we are working on their own new exertion for version 1.1 with the Doppler thought that would cover all is well and the gifts we are waiting to get the final results deliver suit will be ready in March so we know we know the first two didn't work but this third one is going to work and didn't know we know that one's going to work so were coming out with another one so just adjust or talk again about that speech pattern with Joe Biden in and how this was subconsciously or consciously that's less believable to me I was subconsciously referenced by our president let's look at that first name again them go back and look at your Bidens I think this is is is it you have to kind of break it down this way because it was you know 10 seconds of a statement so real quick we know the three different doses of optional for very limited production in Frederick three though he didn't the authors reasonable protection against hospitalization and best leaving engineers is very and less protection against ear infections now if you go back and listen to Joe Biden talk about it one last time here check did very well with two shuffle of the year booster shot everybody get the booster shot this the envelope the optimum protection you could have protected very well with two shots if the supplies are annually protected but you are better protected with the bush and and so you see it that's exactly what is happened there he was in his mind trying to kind of is wires were cross but he was referencing this Pfizer CEO statement that's been via you pusher on the Internet with millions and millions of you that by now I guarantee it where he is saying that you know two shots looking to do it for you what will building with a will Pfizer in a neutralizer in there because Ito has his wires are crossed here but I found that to be really interesting that there was this little Freudian slip and you see him immediately backtrack and immediately stop us to a sentence and immediately change the topic once he says the word Pfizer because he realized what he was doing interesting don't know exactly what to make of it like I said it could have been the subconscious thing could've been a conscious thing but either way that's exactly what just happened there alright so the next thing to look at is going to be one of the statements that he made regarding you know whether or not he's outperformed him it what his expectations are so it was watch this clip here inflation is up to your signature domestic legislation is stalled in Congress if you hours from now the Senate never consented to deal with voting rights and voting of buddy before much later going to fail color 19 is still taking the lives of 1500 Americans every day and the nations divisions are just as wrong as they were a year ago did you overpromise to the American public what you can achieve in your first year in office and how you plan to course correct going forward are you such a look I didn't overpromise food but I have probably enough outperform what anybody thought would happen the fact of the matter is that Ruth situation where we have the conflict so he says I have not come I've actually outperformed what anybody thought it yet because we thought you'd be dead by now Joe we thought you'd be dead by now and in that we thought Pamela Harris was good to be part of the power you're right you absolutely outperformed all expectations because we absolutely thought you had much less time on the clock than you showed us with the last 365 day but other than that he doesn't even go into it into why he believes that he's outperformed you know his expectations are to be the only way that that's true because he has of is it you know they they pull it up on on disclosure run the 4110 that was watching earlier that his approval ratings at 40% which a 40% approval rating for president basically means you know that the widely accepted you know in the political science widely accepted percentage for for basically a completely ineffective president is like 41% is generous and 43% is like yet you're not can anything past nobody believes in you you don't have this way no you see it later on when he's talking about Russia that that everything that this man says is just you know pillows day that he's throwing in a in a gunfight the fact that he wants to sit there and smugly say they know I've outperformed everybody's expectations. Yeah maybe your right hip but not in the way that you think no so I just thought that was funny they that he thought that you know he's done so incredible of a job at this point that you know we we don't even have to talk about it because he doesn't talk about it in this entire interview did the whole time he shows you how bad he is tactfully at answering questions and this is the reason he's been hidden away and in the video some probably some you know scientific institution whether you know testing all sorts of you know chemicals on him to see if they can bring back his livelihood or his liveliness and ability to speak or actually maintain a sentence structure but there's a reason they bring keeping us away from him for so long throughout this entire year because this is probably one of the only times I've seen him outright stand and answer questions or knowing all of his his poor operator tries at being funny like oh you're an optimist highlight no I get it but still need it it's it's sad to see it in and it's crazy to me that you know he did the part of the best thing when you when you read about leadership and you read about the qualities of a leader in anything you you have to have read about leadership and if you do if you read about any books about leadership you know any books Jaco will link you know he has it in the title for you extreme ownership right if things aren't going the way that you want them to taking extreme ownership for those things that have not gone the ways that you want them to tends to put you in a better light in the public eye right but sitting here and acting like there's no problem saying you outperformed all expectations when you have a 40% approval rating one of the lowest of any president ever especially one who got more votes than any other president in the entire history of America doesn't look good right so in note to me it is it's really telling it's really telling how you know it his is his poor ability to to lead and in his terrible way of of trying to you know in insight some kind of like confidence in the public I don't know what he was trying to do here you know is that the public would've what you know in anything he does a certain percentage of the right is going to disagree and say that he's doing terrible and no but if you would came out here and said I know things are going great I know you know inflation as is unbelievably high I know were on the cusp of watching Russia just obliterate Ukraine and working to do nothing about it I know that you're paying more in gas than you have since I was in office last you know I know these things I understand these things I'm doing the best that I can today to try and make the situation better for you better for our country and better for your family but doesn't do that he says I know everything's great everything is great don't don't look at those numbers to look at the statistics unless they come from my website no don't don't look at those those are real what's real is what I'm telling you and everything is great right the people are smarter than that people don't appreciate being gas lit by the president of the United States we know things are going great were well aware of this Joe Biden where were we very clearly no you are not doing a great job we very clearly that we leave in the polls the polls that they put up in this video say that you have a 40% approval rating how is that exceeding all expectations what what was your expectation for your approval rating especially after beginning more votes than any president history imagine that one year one year into getting more votes than any president in history 80 whatever million votes that he got and you have one of the lowest approval ratings of any president ever how does that work how does it work how how does that even happen right and then for you to sit here stare at a camera securities people asking real people asking you these questions real Americans concerned about the on the job you're losing because they're they're not willing to you know bend on their moral compass for what they inject into their body real people were concerned about how to pay it for five dollars a gallon especially if Russia invades Ukraine the gastric prices may skyrocket how are you gonna stand in front of a group of people it did not even just a group of people obvious is hundred people this is the entire world is watching us and pollutants watching us earnestly in front of everybody all of the government leaders of the entire world and say I am doing great close your eyes don't pay attention all the stuff is happening I'm doing wonderful all you have to do is believe me in in in it so amazing to me that what he ran on was unity what he ran on was you know the divisiveness of the Trump presidency and you know America has been divided for the last four years and I'm the one to bring them together but all he's done every speech every every quote that I've seen from him regarding you know when he is talked about the January 6 Museum to her right when when he discussed that no when he discussed president from calling him a loser this was recently this is like a month ago is not even a month ago to three weeks ago and then cut comes on here in the inns even still pointing fingers to to to trump today saying that he is the reason that he can't get anything past no ownership at all and in a night I gotta take this philosophy in the Sabia site engine for you but I cannot take this philosophy that you know it even if it's not 100% my fault even if there's there's there's things that I credit it couldn't have changed about a situation and things that were out of my control in in in things that you know happened that I couldn't have corrected an inmate a better outcome with used it to me a full philosophically you know at least in the way that I need to live my life or at least are in the framework that I need to operate in went when I'm you know in a day-to-day basis to try to move the needle of my life towards a better direction instead of a worse direction is always taking ownership always taking ownership of the things that you do even if it is specially for the pricing I state the people are asking you policy questions but even if not even if it's about parenting or even if it's about you know work or even ask about you know your business or you know whenever you know passions that you're trying to grow whatever that is if things are going your way you will have to take ownership 100% have to take ownership for those things because if you don't that is out of your control there's nothing you can do even if there is there is things that are out of your control within that situation the outcome always has to be your fault because it is not your fault when things go wrong it's not your fault when things go right and you can never take ownership for the good things so in order to take ownership for the good things that happen you in or in order to be able to actually celebrate when things go right in your life you have to absolutely take ownership when things go bad in your life and if you don't you can always use that scapegoat you always have a scapegoat you never have to look deep into yourself and then kind of take a in a fine tooth comb to your personality or or or to your belief systems or to your work ethic or or to your you know whatever it is that you need to work on your never going to be able to work on those things if you don't address that there there right and this is from my coparenting perspective this is from an individual perspective this is from a no but but but even more so if you're the President of the United States you have to take ownership when things don't go right and if you don't people are to believe in you because when are you to tell me that you're doing a bad job would you ever tell me if you're doing a bad job right if if inflations up whatever percentage of this right now and gas is up you know to four dollars and you know the cost of me and then literally everything else within the eye states are skyrocketing and shelves are empty but the price in the eye states sitting or saying everything's going great okay if every if you're doing your job and everything is going right then what is wrong what what what could be the problem then if it's not you the present United States who is at the helm who is who has the reins of the country or Lisa supposed to it is not you than what is it because if it's a systematic flaw within the way that our country is being operated outside of the presidency which as you know obviously with whether governments run and how many layers there are is probably more likely that there's obviously a some systematic problems but the only variable that changed between when things were going well with our economy and are in a worldwide no buy-in and in our relationships with Russia and China were going well was it was not that long ago almost approximately to the day 360 with exactly 365 days ago and if you think that is a coincidence that less than you know 300 or so day 365 days within the did the presidency changing that Russia has for the last however many months I'm sure it's been at least 6 to 8 to 10 probably since the day he took office been planning this attack because they know that the president Biden doesn't have the balls to do anything about it he said to send troops there is a disease but you know this Sunday is probably drew a beautiful bowl should ask picture of it in no a stick figure for Vladimir Putin that sitting above his desk you know he can't do anything right he can't do these things because the people that are controlling and will allow it rights of the SSA here in Goa were going to give sanctions and you'll see that when we look at the very next topic which is going to be the Russia situation because in I'm rushing to take a little bit deeper of a look into the Russia situation because it's not something I'm super familiar with why these things are happening why they're going to war allegedly no obviously allegedly because is not generally the reason that are given the public whether going to war, in the last week they said there was there was some proposal or some CIA document or governmental agency that said they were concerned about Russia committing a false flag and using it as an excuse to go after Ukraine I'm that was last week and now they're saying it's a for sure thing we believe is going to go into Ukraine sorted a dive into that and in just a moment here but you know to me watching this you know the President of the United States sit here and in the and push off any responsibility any responsibility all for the things that happen within our country specifically in the last year is terrifying to me not terrifying because obviously you know to to me at it's more so just shows his you know it is terrifying I guess because Russia is about to go to war with Ukraine for after the just that it's almost a for sure thing they believe is in a good war and whether they go into war a little bit or a lot of it is independent our reaction not don't go to war right so the fact that he's pushing off any and all responsibility any responsibility for things that have gone wrong over the last year should be concerning because at what point will you take response building if you're not taking response ability publicly are you taking response ability privately at least do you believe that you can change the way that were the direction of our country is going because if you don't leave leave office goal it let somebody come in office was actually to make a change in the change for the better with the right intentions not the intentions are to make third drug addict pedophile disgusting son the most money with so many who's gonna come in and do what's right for the country some who's gonna come in with beliefs for where they actually want to see our country go police or where they want to see their their their children lives and in the direction of their children's lives go and in education systems and in it and the problems that are really within our country it be be push in a better direction in a factual item he shown that he's been an officer's benefit in some form of politics for hundred and 65 years at this point no most of you know since the Jesus was president it it's it's crazy to me that that that nobody in and again I'm note and nothing anybody push back on this tea took no responsibility for any of the negative things and you can sit here and look at charts you can sit here and use math statistics real science data on facts to figure out that what he's done so far has been not good every major plan he promised to pass including the bill back better plan which is basically just Trojan horse to siphon money to to directly to the Chinese communist party by a getting out of Afghanistan in allowing the the Chinese government to make a deal with the Taliban to have the rights to all of the lithium deposits in Afghanistan one of the most lithium rich countries in the world and then in the same two months that you left Afghanistan submit a bill to allow for a $6000 tax grant to people working up by those lithium batteries from the Chinese, his party through electronic vehicles I wholeheartedly believe that's what the Afghanistan retreat was about the Afghanistan failure was about was relieving our duty to protect Afghanistan and allowing China to because they did that they they they made a deal with and what was it weeks not even of us leaving Afghanistan and not only did we do that but we left them how many billions of dollars worth of military equipment and then the China came in and specifically made a deal for all the lithium deposits and within two months the bill back but are planning to build back better plan it includes believe it $6000 grant federal grant tax money that you earned and paid our government they are basically just siphoning back to China so not only did they give them the lithium on the backs of the deaths of every military soldier who fought against Al Qaeda who fought against the Taliban who fought against ISIS in those areas on that that that that the the coffins of those who fought against the that the terrorists were over there there are now going to not only give them billions of dollars of the most advanced military equipment in the world then there going to spoonfeed China all of the lithium in Afghanistan and then they're going to buy it back from them at a $6000 per person grant of a yield or money that you paid the government for through taxes I don't know where that sentence started but I know this bill back but her stuff is bull ship crazy crazy to me that that was included in that bill and not written immediately within two months two months of the bill of of us leaving Afghanistan that build back better plan had that within the within so let's let's let's go into this a little bit let's find out why may be Russia is actually considering going to war or is going to go to war with Ukraine look at could possibly mean for NATO relationships what that could mean the United States and me and you and why Russia is even doing that in the first place so first were to watch the quick video of Biden talking about it them were in a read an article that I found that hopefully gives us some good and for information on so go ahead and watch it they in June you said was about Pres. Putin I think the last thing he wants now is a Cold War that since then of course you see them gather these troops hundred thousand troops around Ukraine the Secretary of State said today he thought he could invade it at any moment you seen the cyber attacks and you see the demand of the of a sphere of influence in which you would withdraw all American troops in nuclear weapons from what used to be the Soviet bloc so I'm wondering if you still think that the last thing he wants is a Cold War and has your view of him changed in the past few months and if it has and he does invade what would your posture be to really move back to the kind of containment policy that use also often when you were still in the Senate the answer is that I think he still does not want it is number two do I think you've test West test United States and NATO as significantly secure yes I think you will but I think will pay serious and dear price for that he doesn't think now cost ones can cost and I think you regret having done now whether or not I think that the how can I say this public for I think that he is dealing with what I believe he thinks is the most tragic thing that's happened to mother Russia and that Berlin wall came down the Empire has been lost near Broadus John Tschetter Soviet Union has been split home but think about what he had is it time zones burning 200 and will not freeze again naturally a situation where he has a lot of oil and gas but he is trying to find his place in the world between China and the West and so I'm not so sure that he has David I'm not so sure he has certain what is my guess is she will move in he has to do something and by the way I've indicated to the two things he said to me that he wants guarantees one is Ukraine 11 report NATO in two that NATO or the there will not be strategic weapon station in decree we can work out something in the second case attend and what he does long Russian line is well Russian border in the European area on the first piece we have a number of treaties international in Newark suggest that you get to choose who you want to be with but the likelihood that Ukraine is going to join NATO in the near term is not very likely based on watch for work they have to do in terms of democracy and a few other things going on and whether or not major allies in the West vote to bring Ukraine in right now so there's room to work if he wants to do the but I think as usual he's going to I probably should garnish I think it will hurt too bad Fayetteville so IA just kind of gave us why at least a roundabout way or maybe a snippet of what why this is happening and it sounds you know that that the things that he dissected and what Biden just said was well we may veto he wants to things from us in only we were knocking at give him everything he wants will make maybe will give him the second one the second one being you know not having NATO weapon eyes military or weapons in Ukraine specifically obviously because it may be a threat to Russia and then you know he says it was a week maybe we can sit down work that went out but but you know the first one he wants is that Ukraine will be a part of NATO and I think I think that were probably not to do that either so what he just said this reporter is working to give them everything that he wants to ensure no maybe not even to ensure that but just to give them everything he wants when I can fight back when I can do any thing about this were to give him everything he wants he decided he has to demands and working to fill them all like way to go so buddy buddy did kind of outline may be why this this is happening a little bit sounds like Hooton feels threatened by the idea of NATO having weapons in Ukraine or Ukraine being used two position weapons closer to Russia and Ukraine specifically having the opportunity to join NATO and I hopefully will find out in this article that I'm reading right after this that will read together why a specifically it's a problem if Ukraine goes to NATO and forgive me if you are you know much more educated on this topic I'm I'm glad you are but is not one that I've been following super close down even know where to find out hopefully how long this is even going on for this to be an issue but my very educated on so hopefully if you are educated on it was get educated together and if you are educated on it awesome let's see if we find out something that you don't already know so let's go ahead and read this article I think you should go go listen to majority of that that Joe Biden questioning I do think it's interesting I think it's interesting insight into why you know there are maybe why he was So far away from us for so long and also kind of the dissent structure and where his mental capacity is at right now and in kind of you know there was some interesting questions that were asked and he danced around virtually all of them without you know any day doesn't even Nestlé dancer on these things you just like kind of babbles because he forgot the question and then never actually answers it and then gets confused and then call some deals and it was basically the theme of what happened through this questioning but there there was one more portion of that that I thought maybe we could listen real quick there was a female reporter who it basically question him and in pride a little bit further because she was thought it was interesting how he said it's good to our our response is going to depend widely on what they do so let's see maybe what let's pull this question up here and then will go ahead and read that article on what is actually going on in Russia so here is this part and then maybe we'll talk a bit more about that and dive in the article sanction they I wanted to follow up briefly on a question asked by Bloomberg you said that Russia would be held accountable if it invades and it depends on what it does it's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and what not to do are you saying that a minor incursion by Russia into Ukrainian territory would not lead to the sanctions that you have threatened writing effectively giving prudent permission to make a small incursion into the country question so to most important thing to do regulations coupons number two the ideas that we would do anything to split data which would be a profound impact on one of I think, in fact one subject we can would be a big mistake so the question is if it's a something significantly short of a significant invasion were not significant major military forces coming across for example okay it's one thing to determine that if they continue to to use cyber will we we can respond so well but outside they have FSP people is now writing down outlandish visa undermine solidarity in Ukraine about Russian trying to promote Russian interest but it's very important that we keep everyone in NATO that's what I'm spending a lot of time doing and there are different for differences NATO what countries are willing to do depending on what happens the degree to which I will be cleared the serious imposition of sanctions relative to dollar transactions the things are things that are going to have a negative impact on the United States as well as the negative impact in the economies of Europe as well a devastating impact on rush and so I got to make sure everybody's in the same page as immovable I think we will if there's something that is Werther's Russian forces crossing the border killing Ukrainian fighters etc. the that changes everything but it depends on what he does is take action when extent invariably get total unity rush on the new from quick went on Iran alright so as though he had a few things therewith always interesting to me and hit the heat did I'm proud of him Joe Biden if you're listening to this podcast and now the likelihood is probably very great that you are good job I'm am very impressed that you will start of a sentence and at one point you even came back to the original point of the question and and finish your thought there that was very impressive to me I applaud you and it's it's prayer is always a game raise like in the every time he starts a sentence as it can alike go off on this crazy tangent and then we do have no idea where he's going or how he got to this point and in the what question he's really thinks he's answering her mother is actually answer the question and I think I was probably the only time where he actually payments back and said you know it depends on what he dies them to what extent were to be able to have total unity within NATO and you know what response what I have so we actually did finish that when I'm very impressed Joe Mr. Pres. but so to me in on the next thing that he talks about there the first thing I should do with the way he open that is big when they say powerful the most powerful countries in the world cannot bluff so to me if you ever played poker maybe I'm wrong when it comes to international relations in war but usually it's the biggest countries who can bluff the most if you have all of the chips usually is much easier for you to block people out because you know how little chips they have right from Aveeno analogy standpoint right if you have all the chips and then you have more chips than anybody and there's two of you who have the chips right you know the and there's six people who don't have very many chips you can throw in three chips and affects everybody out you might have 30 of them write this now it is going to farm sorry that the basis is if you have all dam chips you get the bluff all you want right they did that you don't get the you know if you're not generally bluffing if you're very low on ships and I don't know if that run through with you I'm sorry but I did to me made sense the lease when I started that thought and Lisa came back around to it right but to me if I get you note what if you if you're the largest when can you bluff then in knowing and why does it have to be a bluff why do we have to be bluffing that if you go in the no obliterate a country that has very very little means to defend themselves without us supporting them and giving them weapons and troops in Indo black ops military to help them complete real missions and train them which is what will and that happening like always ends up happening when these things happen it it if you know if you can't bluff white what you have to bluff buys that a problem lies the problem if someone is going to invade another country and they shouldn't do that morally you know that maybe that gets into the multinational way that we dip our hands and all these you know wars so made may be we shouldn't be but but but again you know I I found that statement to be interesting you know we can't block for America America's been bluffing for a very long time and a lot of different situations this would be the first time so that was interesting and then the last thing that he said you know was kind of dance around the question eventually came to a point where you know maybe he realized what the actual question was so let's dive a little bit deeper into what is actually going on in Russia memo to read this article to you and then we'll talk about it so just a few minutes left here so steer it stay with me you're doing great I hope you learning something real quick we are just hitting our here you been listening to me for a while and in the you heard me the very beginning I asked you to subscribe and if you did I think you

the deep dive articles that were to be putting out every week now it is only for pates drivers so this article was one that I found I just typed into… Why is Russia invading Ukraine and in I thought it might be a good idea using specific subs that myself to find some in the panic creators who had an independent opinion that was maybe tied to a large media organization and see what they had to say about it so I typed in sub stack why is Russia invading Ukraine this is what comes up so is an article by Henry Bolton Henry Bolton according to his own self is the BRI T PAC chairman British pack German former national politician political leader Amber exit campaigner previous a British Army Capt. and some other things that he says about himself so this was written on January 18 yesterday at the height on Tuesday of the situation so to start off this article is named the likelihood is that Russia will invade Ukraine here's why and what the objectives are likely to be Russia has deployed an estimated 100,000 to 125,000 troops around 75% of Russia's total ground combat power to Ukraine's eastern border Pres. Putin has issued demands and threats to Ukraine and NATO has launched's waving cyber attacks against Ukraine and has increased the rhetoric aimed at his domestic audience all the signs are that the Kremlin is poised to strike but will day and if so at what and why in addition to the Black Sea deposits in the Caribbean waters Ukraine has massive gas reserves in the east of the country I know I said that what that east of the country in particular the huge use a method or pronounce it why use the IVS KE use the avast ski field with these deposits Ukraine holds 5,400,000,000,000 m³ of gas the third largest reserves in Europe when Russia occupied the Crimea in 2014 Ukraine lost in Russia gained the huge gas deposits under the Scythian section of the Black Sea shelf the Black Sea shelf deposits had been under exploration for several years and Ukraine finally awarded the licenses of for their expert exploration in August 2012 Ukraine did not possess the technology or expertise to exploit the deposit itself they are very deep into the contracts were inevitably going to go abroad given the very close association between the Ukrainian Pres. Victor Jan new show Vic and Pres. Putin the Kremlin expected the contracts will be issued to the Russian energy giant gas broom but the Kremlin should have foreseen a problem until the Russian occupation of Crimea in the down buzz in eastern Ukraine Ukraine imported almost all of its gas from Gasper gas from had in turn impose numerous price hikes in Ukraine Ukraine's gas distributor NAFTA gas has struggled to pay the bills but 2014 NAFTA gas owned gas from old gas from $4.5 billion in US currency because of the repeated price hikes and resulting tensions between gas perm and NAFTA gas Ukraine had been trying to establish order other non-Russian supplies return to Europe for them and when the contract licenses were issued for the expectation of Ukrainians gas they went not to gasp Rome and Russia but to the group that led by American Exxon Mobil but to a group led by American Exxon Mobil but in including Dutch British Royal Dutch Shell and Romanian OMD Pro pressroom working with Ukrainian state company natural I'm sorry for all the pronunciation that there was a lot of Ukrainian words and companies in the meantime as I say Ukraine was looking to diversify its gas supply here enters the Europe European Union and one of the causes of Russian anger towards the UV Europe at the time in 2013 import about 39% of its gas from Russia in 2019 it was 41% was going up the last seven years nine years and much of the gas to Ukraine wanted to import from the EU was in fact redirected Russian gas gastro contracts new energy importing companies forbade such redirection and resell it in 2006 the clauses were removed because they infringed are in article 81 of the European community treaty and restrictive business practices legally this meant that your company's had every right to reexport gas no matter where they got it from indeed the Ukraine that now imports most of its gas from Hungary and Poland but can anyone really see Pres. Putin accepting such things passively so it sounds like there's been this kind of gas for this like resource a mineral war you know it's interesting talking on the backs of the idea of Afghanistan being left for China with lithium deposits to B passes the bill back that a plan which is to give them the 6000 diagram per person and with millions and millions people buying electric cars that would mean when millions and billions and trillions of dollars to China from your tax dollars that we gave up Afghanistan for interesting but I digress as an aside as an aside I know how I feel about the skies writing as an aside maybe it's because he's from Britain you know the UK or something member is from where you from is the brick picture so whatever that culture shimmies British so maybe they say that Britain given the very close association let's see if we can find where we were at as an aside consider the Russian involvement in resisting the pro-EU made in protests and KE of 2013 the context of access Ukrainian gas access the Ukrainian gas fields is a large part of the reason that the Kremlin was and is still so sensitive our Ukraine closing up to the European Union so it sounds like I got mineral war between the Eno European Union Russia and you know even the United states being in on it with Exxon so wind when in 2014 Russia occupied commedia Ukraine lost the Black Sea hydrocarbon fields that some list of names there in a minute butcher in that were under the promising exploration and if we look at the fighting in the East the country thousand 14 you carry nearly lost the town of slope and ask him backed rebels the so-called republics so let's go on low before more here so says the let's look briefly at what happened if Russia had not occupy Korea let's move on don't care about that so I might rush initiate hostilities again Ukraine in fact hostilities between Ukraine and Russia backed rebels in the East have never quite ceased but if we assume based on the above that the crime was objective in 2014 and 15 was to secure Ukraine's gas deposits in the Black Sea and east of the country so as to extend the maintain economic and political leverage over EU economies and if we assume that those objectives were not fully reached pro-Russian rebels failed to retain their occupation and therefore control over the massive use it Visco Ashfield use zip sky gas-filled and then yes hostilities at some point are likely combat indications so what is pointing us to the fact that this could happen right why do people believe it is going to be up for sur

There’s just something about betrayal that cuts extra deep. Most of the time, we get caught up in the trauma too much that we’re left wondering what happens next.  Is there a way out of it? Is this something that we should just learn to accept and live with? Why do the effects of betrayal seem to stay with us even after a significant amount of time has passed? I am Dr. Debi Silber, and I am excited to take you on this new weekly journey of healing and learning called A Dose of Dr. Debi. In This Episode  A brief recollection of my experiences with betrayals An overview of the three discoveries I made when studying betrayal A brief introduction on what to expect from A Dose of Dr. Debi   Transcription Welcome to a whole brand new series we're calling this A Dose of Dr. Debi. I'm Dr. Debi Silber and what I'm going to be doing is share with you, every Friday, tips, tools, strategies and solutions to help you heal physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually from the trauma of betrayal from a family member, partner, friend, co-worker, self.  Now you may be saying, Why am I sharing this, and how am I an expert in this. Well I'll tell you nobody studies betrayal that I know of, because they just liked the topic, you kind of need to, and that was the case with me. This is my 30th year in business and I've been a health, mindset, personal development speaker, author, mentor, coach for years, and it was only because of my own betrayals; first from my family, and then years later from my husband, that everything changed. And if you've been betrayed by someone close to you, you know how painful it is. This was the person, or these were the people who gave you a sense of safety and security. So, when this is the person, or these are the people to shatter that sense of safety and security, it's devastating. And that was the case with me.  So when it came to the betrayal of my husband, I got him out of the house, and I was like okay I have four kids, six dogs, a thriving business. What am I going to do, and I looked at those two experiences and I said you know what's common to those two experiences? I realized I never took my own needs seriously, and boundaries were always getting crossed. I said, now it's my turn. I have no idea how I'm going to do this, but it's time. And I enrolled in a PhD program in transpersonal psychology, (the psychology of transformation in human potential) because I was changing and I didn't quite understand what was happening. He was changing on his own too but I wasn't ready to look at that. I was so interested in this type of study, I was so desperate to understand how the mind work. Why do people do these things, and most importantly, how can I heal from this?  While I was there I did a study. I studied betrayal; what holds us back, what helps us heal, and what happens to us (physically, mentally and emotionally) when the people closest to us lie, cheat and deceive. Well, I had no idea at the time, but that study led to three groundbreaking discoveries. I'm going to go over them, just briefly, and in the coming episodes I'll dive into them much deeper along with solutions and tips and strategies to heal.  So the first discovery was, originally I was setting something called Posttraumatic growth -betrayal and posttraumatic growth. Posttraumatic growth is- if you can imagine kind of an upside of trauma, how that trauma, regardless of what it is (death of a loved one, disease, natural disaster, etc.) how it leaves you with a new insight, perspective, or awareness that you didn't have beforehand. Like maybe you realize when you lose someone you love, life is short, or the little things matter, things like that. And I was like, well, I've been through death of a loved one and I've been through disease, but this is different, betrayal is different.  I didn't want to assume that was the same for everyone, so I asked all my study participants and I said: “If you've been through other traumas besides betrayal does it feel different for you?” Hands down unanimously they said:  “Oh my gosh it's so different!” Here's why. Let's say you lose a loved one. You grieve, you’re sad, you mourn the loss, life will never be the same, but you don't necessarily take it personally. Betrayal feels personal. It feels so intentional, so we take it so personally. So the whole self has to be rebuilt. Belonging, confidence, worthiness, trust, rejection, abandonment are all huge topics that all have to be rebuilt. We have to rebuild the self. So, this type of healing needed its own name, so I coined a new term Post Betrayal Transformation and that is the complete and total rebuild of you after a traumatic experience with betrayal. So that was the first discovery.  The second one was, while we can stay stuck for years, decades, a lifetime (and so many of us do), if we're going to fully heal, (I'll talk about how to know when we're fully healed, in another episode), if we are to fully heal, we will move through 5 proven and predictable stages. Now, what's even more exciting about that is, now we know what happens at every stage, (physically, mentally and emotionally), and we know what it takes to move from one stage to the next. Why is that good? Because that means healing is predictable. That means, if you know what Stage you're in you're in Stage two, you're in Stage three, whatever the Stage is, we know what you need to do to move from that one Stage to the next!  So there's a roadmap now that that we never had. Now, it's predictable. That was the second discovery.  The third discovery was that there's actually this collection of symptoms, (physical, mental and emotional) so common to betrayal, it's now known as Post Betrayal Syndrome. So we actually have a quiz on our site: https://thepbtinstitute.com/quiz/. It's the Post Betrayal Syndrome quiz. You take that to see to what extent, you're still struggling. Here's what's so interesting about it. We've had easily at the time of this recording, over 18,000 people take the Post Betrayal Syndrome quiz and you know how you may have heard: “Time heals all wounds?” I have the proof, that's not true, because there's a question that reads, “is there anything else you'd like to share,” and people write things like: “My betrayal happened 40 years ago, and I can still feel the pain,” “my betrayal happened 35 years ago, I'm unwilling to trust again,” “my betrayal happened 10 years ago, I feel gutted.” So, we know that when it comes to betrayal, time does not heal all wounds, not when it comes to betrayal. With betrayal, we heal when we “face it, feel it heal it.” I'm going to teach you how to do that in upcoming episodes. I want to I want to leave you with this. Betrayal, it follows you around like shadow until, and until and unless you take the time to actually heal it, but I want to give you an example of how to know if you have an unhealed betrayal because you may be thinking; “Oh my gosh, that happened years ago.” It doesn't matter. I'll show you how it's showing up.  It shows up in your health, your work, your relationships. So let's take relationships we see it in one of two ways. The first way is you have repeat betrayals, and you go from boss to boss to boss. Or, co worker to co worker to co worker. Friend to friend to friend. Partner to partner to partner and you're like; “What the heck! The faces are changing but it's the same thing all the time?! Is it me?” Yes it is. There's a profound lesson you need to learn. I'm not saying you caused the betrayal. I'm saying these people are coming into your world, to give you an opportunity for you to learn that boundaries are constantly getting crossed, or to finally show you you're lovable, worthy, deserving-whatever the lesson is for you. You will keep finding “opportunities” to learn those lessons until you do. When you do, it doesn’t need to keep repeating itself. So if you have a repeat betrayal. That's how we know it's an unhealed betrayal, that's the first way.  The second way is, we will see it in people who say, and maybe this is you, you put that big wall up; “Been there, done that I'm not letting anybody get close to me again!” And we think it's coming from a place of strength. No, it's coming from a place of fear. That's an unhealed betrayal.  We see it in health, where people go to the most incredible doctors, healers, coaches and therapists to manage a stress related symptom, illness, condition or disease. At the root of all that stress- and unhealed betrayal.  We see it at work too in so many ways. Here are just two. You want to ask for that raise or promotion, you deserve it. But your confidence was shattered in the betrayal so you don't have the confidence to ask and you're bitter and resentful instead. And that's the energy you're bringing to work with you every day. Or, you want to be that team player, that collaborative partner, but the person who trusted the most proved untrustworthy, how can you trust that boss, that co worker, that JV partner or that collaborative person who wants to work with you?  It shows up everywhere. Now, you may be thinking; “Oh, I can never heal from this, it's way too big.” Yes you can, you can heal from all of it, I'm living proof and so are the people within the PBT Institute. Now, rebuilding is always a choice whether you rebuild yourself and move on (that's what I did with my family, it wasn't an option to rebuild with them.) Or, and we teach you how to do this in the community how to know if it's safe in your and in your best interest to heal and rebuild with that person, how to know if it's safe and in your best interest just to heal and move on. Or, if the situation lends itself, if you're willing, if you want to, you may have the opportunity, if you choose to rebuild something entirely new with the person who hurt you. That's what I did with my husband. As to completely transformed people, not long ago, we married each other again.  New rings, new vows, new dress and this time, our four kids is our bridal party.  So, lots of healing, lots to learn, lots to share and I am so excited to share with you. Be on the lookout for these Friday doses of A Dose of Dr. Debi. They’ll be coming to you with healing tips, tools and solutions. What I know for sure is that even if you have to say it a million times to yourself, it's worth it ready? “Even though it happened to you, it's not about you.” It's not about you. The good news is that betrayal lends itself to being the perfect opportunity for transformation. I'll be talking about that so much more. But you've been through the hardest part already, so if you're going to be going through the hardest part, why not give yourself the opportunity to create the strongest and most healthy, healed, whole, version of you possible? It's entirely possible. And I'm going to show you how to do that. So check back next time and I'll see you soon. Bye.

How are you doing well? Thank you. Thank you so much for joining us on brokerage insider. Oh, of course. I'm happy to be here. Thank you for inviting me. I, I think I was able to provide a little bit of an introduction, but, uh, if you would, for our listeners, just kind of talk about, uh, talk about who you are and where you're at and what your kind of specialty is right now. Yeah. So I am a real estate broker with Mile High Modern. I started in the real estate business a few years ago after a very tumultuous first-time home buying experience of my own on a personal level. and I'm also a Denver native. My family has owned properties in the Denver area since the 1970s. And. we've, you know, everybody is here in different pockets of the Denver Metro. You know, and we've been here for multiple generations now. So I like to think that I'm an expert in the Denver Metro area, because we've lived here for so long , but yeah, I, I really focus on most of my energy on properties of architectural merit, specifically mid century modern homes. I've found a lot of success in. Niching out within that particular architecture type. especially because our market just has a lot of them. but also because I have a passion for the design itself and yeah. Does that answer your question? That's perfect. Let's talk about how you got into real estate and kind of what you were doing before and your journey into this as a career choice. I know a little bit of it, but I'd love to hear it from you. Yeah. So, okay. Well, I mean, I did a bunch of different things. you know, within my entire professional career, but I, my background is in marketing. I got a business marketing degree from CU Boulder and my first like big time job was out in LA. I worked for Hulu for a few years, in marketing and an ad operations. And, my experience in Los Angeles was great, but I was like, I could only handle it for so long and I really miss Denver. So I ended up coming back about two years later. And when I did that, I was kind of like getting my hands into some other marketing jobs. And I specifically took on a job working for, a string of different event venues and marketing or sorry, music. Sorry. Wow. Music venues in the golden triangle. And, just, I was the marketing director for them was pretty much tasked with really revamping the entire marketing department there because what I had walked into, I didn't have a whole lot to work with and they really didn't have a lot of like preexisting systems or anything like that. And so I kind of had to build a team to support all of their venues. And in doing that, I was, not only exposed to a lot of the different partners on the golden triangle board of directors, like the Denver art muse and sort of Cerner Conservancy, but then also, one of the venues that we worked with was the church. And I just was like, so fascinated by, as I was doing all this historic research on

Kris spent a decade in TV news before starting Tight Line Media in 2006. Her first book, My Place Among Men, is available now and her most recent film Ocean to Idaho capturing the migration of thousands of salmon on their return from the Oregon coast to the Idaho wilderness premieres this Summer and you can see the trailer at tightlinemedia.com. Facebook Twitter Instagram   The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Please give us a rating and review HERE Show Notes Tightline Media Ocean to Idaho My Place Among Men OWAA Intro to Outdoors I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Wasatch mountains were my playground and I always felt comfortable outside. I didn't grow up hunting with my dad. I didn't grow up fishing with my dad. I grew up hiking with my dad. And my dad is forever lost. He doesn't have an internal compass. My mom says I don't have a danger gene, which is probably true, but my dad doesn't have an internal compass. And so we would wander endlessly and he would never admit he was lost. But, I found that by following his dusty frame down a little trail forever and ever, that I learned patience, persistence, resilience, and all those things helped me do my job today. I would just follow him when I was little. I didn't question if we were lost, but I knew darn well we were, and as I got older, I figured that out, but I still knew lost or not that I was comfortable outside. That's where I feel at home. Advice All right. So when it comes to the outdoor business, I have a pretty interesting take on it. And it comes from two and a half decades of watching our industry shift. And I'm just so impressed by what I see within our industry as things shift and what matters now, and the way to come at this business. If I were coming at it now would be to look at it from the user's perspective in every way. And that is because the way we value our natural resources has made a dramatic shift in the last century. And you can see it in the way that outdoor users lay out their expectations and those users are your customers. So a century ago we were, we were mining, logging. Resources to us were, what do we get out of them? What can they do for us with a dollar sign? Now, look at where we're at today. They're still mining, logging, drilling, developing a little bit of damming and all that still going on, but you know what? Now there's a seat at the table for that natural resource as it is. Natural resources hold a value for what they offer us as they are. Or in many cases that you see today as they will be, as they're put back together, that has a value. Now our natural resources hold, hold value beyond the dollar. And when your customers start realizing natural resources, hold value beyond the dollar, The way to connect to them is to also value those natural resources beyond the dollar. Favorite Book Oh the Places you'll Go by Dr. Seuss Favorite Outdoor Gear My favorite piece of outdoor gear pushes the hundred dollars mark, pretty hard, but I think it's still worth it. It's trail running shoes. So, I've tried different brands. And it just kind of depends on what kind. I think it all comes down to cushion. I used to run barefoot, so I'm a minimalist. Kris' Ask Stick your feet in the river, any river, the closest one you can get to. People say they don't have the access to the outdoors, but you know, don't you drink water and that water is coming from somewhere. It's fine. Find flowing water and stick your feet in it. It just makes that connection to our outdoor world.

Chris Milkie brought to you this month by audible crisp in a decade and TV news before starting Tightline media in 2006. [00:00:50] Her first book, my place among men is available now at her most recent film ocean to Idaho capturing the migration of thousands of salmon on their return from the Oregon coast to the Idaho wilderness premieres. This summer, you can see the trailer@tightlinemedia.com. Welcome to the show, Chris. Thanks for having me. [00:01:06] Yeah. Good to chat with you this morning. What's happening in your world today? Uh, today the sun's out. We have snow on the ground, but, um, and it as we should, this time of year in Idaho, so yeah. We like that. That's a good thing. Yeah. That's a good thing. That means is there's a little moisture to fill the rivers again, as the cycle goes. [00:01:25] Yes. As it goes, we want those rivers full. Yeah. We need that hair too. I'm in Bishop and it's a pretty dry land of little rain as Mary Austin dubbed it. What, uh, what triggered your love for the outdoors and adventure that started at a young age? From what I can tell through your bio? I grew up in salt Lake city, Utah, the Wasatch mountains were my playground and I always felt comfortable outside. [00:01:53] And I recognized that at an early age and I, I didn't grow up hunting with my dad. I didn't grow up fishing with my dad. I grew up hiking with my dad. And my dad is forever lost. So when you like, yeah, that's a direction a right. Yeah. He doesn't have an internal compass. My mom says I don't have a danger gene, which is probably true, but my dad doesn't have an internal compass. [00:02:17] And so we would wander endlessly and he would never admit he was lost. But, uh, I found that by following his dusty frame down a little trail forever and ever. That I learned patience, persistence and resilience and resilience and all those things helped me do my job today. Yeah. But yeah, I would just follow them when I was little. [00:02:41] I did question if we were lost, but I knew darn well, we were, and I, as I got older, I figured that out, but I still. New last or not that I was comfortable outside. That's where I feel home. That's very cool. Do you have any, what did you get in any really major, uh, lost events like you had to spend the night or, you know, it took you all night to get home any of that kind of stuff? [00:03:02] Um, I think, well, as far as last goes, I kept, I don't remember. I was like needing a rescue now, uh, on a trail race recently they pulled the flags ahead of me and yes, I did get legitimately lost and it took. Uh, some, some people on the ground coming to find me, cause I went in the wrong direction, but when I was little and there was nothing serious like that, I do remember. [00:03:27] Hiking in the high you winters. And there was nobody there. And we came across in one day during one hike, um, this metal with about five bull moose laying down in it. And I've always remembered that thinking, this is it. This is like what you're going to see every time you hike. And that's not the case. [00:03:46] Right. But, you know, thank goodness he was lost. We saw amazing things and I have no idea of how to get to that spot now. And he probably doesn't either, but yeah, because we kind of wandered, we found some amazing places and in that same trip, we also got stuck in the pouring rain. And I remember throwing everything. [00:04:06] Into the truck soaking wet and leaving in the middle of the night because we were drowning lost you, you find some pretty cool stuff it's getting lost is not always a bad thing. Yeah. And so your bio also says, uh, you had a fear of men and beards talk a little bit about that. So I spent a lot of time hiking with my dad without that danger deem that my mom says I don't want to have. [00:04:35] My dad did not have a beard growing up. It was a clean shaven household, but I, uh, as long as I've been comfortable outside, I've always also been afraid of beards. It's just like being born left-handed I was born and as I got older, I kind of figured out why I was painfully shy and I didn't want to talk to anybody, but with a beard. [00:04:57] For sure. It was out of the question. Yeah. And now that I'm older and I've had time to kind of think through it, I've figured out what it is when I was younger, I studied people. I wanted to know what made them tick. What, what worked in there. Speaking of style. What did it do? You know? I knew I was going to be a storyteller and as a storyteller, I needed to be able to ask questions and get over being shy. [00:05:21] So I would study people. So when I was shy and I would look away because I didn't want you to look at me, I would still study you. And if you had a beard, I couldn't see your facial expressions. And so, uh, as a child, you have to realize what that means. Just like the kids that are dealing with faces that have masks over them. [00:05:39] Now, a beer to me was kind of like a mask and I couldn't read that person's character. I felt like they had something to hide because they were hiding under hair. And so that made me think that there was something hippy. No, no. I run around with beards in the woods all the time, and I realized that the beard does not determine the character, but when I was little, I thought they were hiding something with all that hair. [00:06:03] Yeah. When you're a little kid, it's interesting how you respond to some of the different, you know, looks or facial expressions too. Sometimes it just doesn't mean what you think it means. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. And so much of that is lost, you know, if we get into this pandemic and like, okay, we can make these adjustments, but. [00:06:19] Much lost in our face when we can not see half of it when we have a discussion. Yeah. Yeah. So much is lost. You see a lot in the eyes, but not all of it. You got to eat that whole face. Yeah. Have you tested how much you have to smile with a mask on before your eyes? It's ridiculous. Yeah. I find myself smiling a lot more to just a guy getting my eyes sparkle, you know, so people know I'm not mad at them. [00:06:42] Right. If you were to take that mask off, it's a goofy grin. Right. Fully showing exactly what it to meet your eyes. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You have to put a big old smile on that's, right? Yeah. Yeah. How did your writing career get started? Did that start at a young age? Yes, I started writing. Um, yeah, I remember even in elementary school I could always write, I like English. [00:07:03] I understood sentence structure. I understood what worked and how to break it apart and make it work even better. And then through junior high and high school that kind of carried through and you take that test in high school that says here's what you should be when you grow up. Right. And of course, mine said communicator, and of course, Everyone laughed at that. [00:07:20] How was the shy girl going to be a reporter? That's ridiculous. Yeah, but I knew what I was going to be. And I was going to figure out how to get over all my quirks and had to be a storyteller. So I knew my major when I went to college, it was broadcast journalism. I was going to tell you stories on TV and the 10 o'clock news. [00:07:41] And I never, I never wavered from that. I could always write. And that was my strong point. I learned to shoot. I learned to read script in a voice that sounds like we're talking and not reading or there's all these little nuances to it. Yeah. And then I worked for TV stations for a decade, one TV station, another around the country. [00:08:00] And the whole point was to get to a bigger market. And, you know, I came from salt Lake city. That's a big TV market. I wanted to get back there. Yeah. And then as I moved around, well, you know, my job was great, but my lifestyle sucked and I worked at 11 o'clock at night and yeah. You know, my husband didn't like in us, some of the places that we live. [00:08:18] And so right about the time that the internet was, you know, born, I realized all the mediums were going to mesh. And so after 10 years of TV contracts, I went freelance. And what that did for me was instead of just working for one TV station, I could work for all of them. And I could work for newspaper magazine, radio, web. [00:08:42] I could work for all of them. Because I could always write, I could write for any medium and because I could shoot, I knew how to frame up a shot for video ads for photo and what needed. I understood the specs for laying it out in paper versus on screen. And so everything kind of translated really well for me. [00:09:03] But the basic was, I always knew how to write. I have an obsession with words I'm terrible with numbers. Don't make me do math, but I can write you an essay all day long. And I'm always playing with words in my head. And so, uh, my brother and sister always teach me that I have my own alphabet and I have, since I was little. [00:09:24] So that's kind of been my saving grace, where I could always write about anything for any medium. And that has kind of evolved into where I'm at now with Tightline media as a freelancer fortunate too, that you you'd recognize that early on. I mean, that's huge too, to know that. Yeah. What inspired you to pick up a camera? [00:09:43] The inspiration for picking up the camera came. When I realized that while I had all of these words and I could put them in perfect order, there was a visual component. I wanted to see what went with those words. And that's why I chose the video TV medium. When I did right from the get-go video is my base. [00:10:00] That's my primary world. And when you see nowadays, there's a lot of films with a lot of slow-mo in them. I think the reason we're seeing that slow Mo happen in film is because you have a lot of still photographers shooting videos, and they're shooting those videos with a still camera. And they're used to thinking in a single frame of still interesting. [00:10:22] And I come from the brain, that's used to seeing action and I want things to happen in real time. And we don't move in slow mode. So rarely will I put Mo in my videos. Right. And then. Having that base of video be my world. It was a pretty easy transition to learn how to shoot photo I've shot video for twenty-five years, I've shot photo for 15. [00:10:47] And I had, I had no problem taking a class from a professional pre-talk photographer to teach me how to use my camera in manual mode versus auto mode and the class wasn't about framing. I already knew how to frame up subjects and what, how to tell that story. It was about how to use the. Different apertures and shutter speeds. [00:11:07] Yeah. You know, some of that translates between a video camera photo, but not everything. Yeah. Yeah. So I picked that up, but I've always wanted to see what you were showing me and what that means in a story is on video. You know, that the guy that I'm in the fishing boat with is wearing a blue jacket. When I write that for a newspaper or magazine, I have to tell you he's in a blue jacket. [00:11:28] Right? So the writing style is a little different. That's interesting that you picked up on that visual. Where do you think, what do you think triggered that? Is it just the actual experience you had it in telecom? I think that I chose the visual medium right out of the gate, because I've always been. [00:11:46] Obscenely aware of what's going on around me. And I knew at a young age back clear back when I was studying faces that I had that visual, a desire to see what's going on versus spell it out. I've always liked to write, but I didn't want to have to always spell out everything. I wanted you to see it right. [00:12:06] And I can see that in my own kids. Now, you know, when our, when our boys turned 12, they each get a trip with me when they turn 18, they get a trip with my husband. So. When the oldest one turned 12, he chose San Francisco because our boys play hockey and he wanted it to see the black Hawks play the sharks and San Jose. [00:12:26] And we stayed, we stayed in downtown San Francisco in the financial district and he looked just like you and I was little, we walked around downtown. And when you're in a big city, people put on blinders. They don't look at the time. He was probably gobsmacked by all that. It blew him away. And I think that's one of the reasons we do these trips. [00:12:44] We live in Idaho falls. It's pretty small. I want them to be exposed to all different kinds of lifestyles. Right. And you have to go to a different city to get that. And so he was blown away by what he saw. And he said on the first day he said, mom, There's no one looks at each other. There's cement everywhere. [00:13:06] And the only bird I've seen as a pigeon. And so he, I can see that that was totally me. When I was little. I was really aware of how people were not connected with each other and not connected with the world around them. Yeah. Yeah. Still, still to this day, even more so maybe in some places. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's, that's how I was when I was a little and it's really neat to see that in my kids. [00:13:29] That's very cool. Yeah. Where does your entrepreneurial spirit come from? Are there entrepreneurs in your family that I don't have a danger gene, but I might have a crazy gene. What it is. I will say this. Um, my father is. By far the proudest workaholic I've ever known. And I pick up my workaholic, workaholic tendencies from him. [00:13:56] What did he do? Um, he is, uh, you'll love this. My father is an architect, but of a very specific genre. If you walk into a building with my father, he will always look up. And he always looks up because he's looking for the sprinkler heads. Okay. Gotcha. My dad makes sure your building doesn't burn down. [00:14:17] That's good. Yes. And, um, there were several times growing up, we had it, he had a dad in our basement and time and time again, he would start businesses on his own and try to have his own business of sprinkled fire, sprinkler design over and over and over again. And I remember growing up with that. And so when I decided to go freelance, I honestly, I was really hesitant to start tightlining media because my dad had tried so many times to start and I did not want my family relying on me and then me not being able to really start. [00:14:56] And so to be at the, be at the Mark where Tightline media is turning 16 years old. Yeah, I had made it through the recession and the pandemic by the skin of my teeth sometimes, but, but, um, that's significant to me and I also think it's significant to my father. Uh, but I'll bet. Yeah, you started then you're and you're, you know, you haven't finished yet, but you're still going there. [00:15:20] I mean, you got it off the ground. That's I can relate to that with, we talked about this before we turned the mic on about the podcast. I mean, it's in my, I get mine from my grandfather. Same thing. He started, he was always Twinkie, you know? Tinkering with ideas and started this and started that so I can totally relate. [00:15:36] Yep. That's where it is. Interesting. And so tell our listeners about what we've talked a little bit about your TV news career. What did you like most about that? Oh, the storytelling, what I like most about TB was the storytelling, but in TV news, um, I had to learn, I had to learn early on that I needed to create an instant rapport with strangers. [00:15:59] Yeah. You have to have a rapport with somebody before they will talk to you. And if you don't know them, I mean, I'm meeting people, new people every day, and I've got to do a story for live, live story for the five o'clock six o'clock, 10 o'clock, and there's gotta be at least two interviews in that story. [00:16:15] That's six new people a day that I had to develop an instant rapport with and get them to tell me their secret, that easy, you know? And so I liked, uh, I can, I'm intrigued by challenge. I think. That's something that becomes pretty obvious in me. When you talk to me about my work, when you look at my stories, I'm pretty obsessive about what I do and I can, are you out with my, uh, overeager sense of being when it comes to covering the outdoors and doing it in a proper, proper storytelling manner? [00:16:50] And so the idea that I could tell a story. And frankly, tell that story in two minutes, because of a newscast it's gotta be within two minutes, pretty phenomenal. So you don't waste words, you get right to the point. Yeah. That's a great skill. So even when a magazine will say, we need you to write a thousand words, that's a lot. [00:17:10] And a book, 50,000 words, that's a lifetime to me. And when I come from a world of two minutes news, I'm not going to waste any words. So even if you put me on a thousand word magazine story or a 50,000 word book, every single word has purpose in there. There's no fluff because I come from two minutes of news where you did an add any extra fluff. [00:17:35] So do you think it's harder for you to write, like in those big, long magazine articles and books and stuff because of that, or you just have to work harder to, you know, make it a detailed story? I find that writing, um, length longer than 500 words is harder for me. And I know why it's harder. It's because I come from where you did quick, fast turns. [00:17:58] Yeah. You shot at wrote edited the same day, probably within a two to four hour timeframe. And I'm used to that pace. It's hard to get me to slow down and work at a longer pace. Uh, even while magazines that might have, like, you know, they're planning a year out right now. Yeah. If you give me an assignment right now, I want to work on it right now. [00:18:20] I don't want to work on it in may or an August issue. Right. So I've had to learn to pace myself a little better. And I think that's been a good thing to learn because as I've learned to pace myself, I've also learned to tolerate the pieces. And there is no doubt that was in a lengthy piece. You are a stronger writer because you add to it things that you can not fit into many [00:18:47] Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say, yeah, the story is more important because you put more detail in it. You don't just put fluff in it. It's, it's relevant, very relevant to the story. Whereas a lot of people write these things. It's like, well, you could have said that in three words, you know? So when I wrote my place upon bed, I sent him my first draft and it was 15 one, five, 15,000 words. [00:19:10] Oh, I'm spent, that's like the most I've ever written because the Austin, my editor cut that in half, sent me back. 8,000 words said not good enough. Dig deeper. Yeah. And I had no idea that I had deeper in me, but I did. And it strengthened my writing to a whole new level. That was so obvious that the year my book came out, which was last year, um, all the outlets that I was working for, we said, wow, Your writing has advanced so much. [00:19:43] And I knew exactly why it's because I had to push to reach 50,000 words and make every single word count. And then your writing goals to a whole new level, when you have to meet that type of challenge, and it shows up in all your other work. Yeah, boy, it sticks with it. Yeah. Once you do that, I'll bet he wrote everything. [00:20:01] You're right. Yeah. Well, good on the editor. That was awesome. [00:20:06] So I can take a criticism and then I just suck it up and move on with it, but we'll do it dig in. Yeah, I hear you. Yeah. We're willing to do that in the show notes. That's I look forward to getting that book. Sounds like a great story. Is your time in TV? The inspiration behind Tightline media is that where that came from? [00:20:23] My timing TB was. In a roundabout way and inspiration for Tightline media working, um, you know, about two years at a time under contract for one station or another, I worked for every station, but CBS that's kinda just how it worked out. And so, um, you, you learn a lot about the industry. You work in small markets where you have to do every job from running the teleprompter to editing your own stories, to whatever happens. [00:20:50] It has to happen up by you because small markets, that's how it goes in bigger markets. Everyone fights about who has to do what, because no one wants to do anything. And so that was weird to me. I just wanted to work. I just wanted to tell stories and yeah. And TV. I had to cover crops and crime and whatever else was on the police scanner for the day or down at city hall. [00:21:10] And, uh, I would, I know that from the very beginning, I was always shoving outdoor stories into people's TVs. There was not an outdoor beat, but I wanted there to be. And I know that those stories mattered. It doesn't matter if you hike, bike, hunt, fish, whatever it is you do outside. The reason that opportunity exists is because something's going on, that's conserving our natural resources to the lab to make it so that you can recreate. [00:21:37] And so those stories really matter to me. So I would shove them in your TV anyway, under, and I'd figure out how to make them the top story of the night. It was some kind of news hitch. So by the time I decided to go freelance, Yes. I knew video was going to be my base, but instead of being general assignment, I niched out 95% of what I do is outdoor related. [00:21:59] And that's a conscious decision when I went freelance. It was because I didn't want to cover crops in crime anymore. Yeah. Those still come into my stories. You know, if we've got crime, it's used to poaching wildlife trafficking crops, certainly that matters. We've got deer running through corn fields, right. [00:22:15] So. Those elements still matter. And I liked having to learn how to cover every possible beat. But I wanted to really hit the outdoors. So I, I niched down to that when I started testing. That's pretty smart. That's pretty smart. Yeah. That's uh, they say the riches are in the niches, so it's, you know, I haven't experienced that yet, but it's coming. [00:22:37] I don't think I've experienced it either, but if I wanted to make a lot of money, I would, I had a fatter wallet if I'd had done something else. Well, yeah, we're, we're on the outdoors because we love it. That's for sure. [00:22:51] The flexibility of my lifestyle. Yeah. The opportunity for fresh air that, that you can't be placed with just a fatter wallet. If I have a bad day and I start to gripe, my husband will just quickly say, you know what? We can shove you back in a cubicle. Do you want to do that? Find that there's problems. [00:23:11] Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's a, that's a good thing about the outdoors. We can just go out and blow off some steam and. See everything and anything we want to see. Yeah. And I, but I do think there's a, on the flip side of that, everyone thinks it's just fun and glamorous to work outside. I'm telling you right now, a 15 hour day in a wildfire where my nose bleeds all day and hundreds of miles from decent food and a bathroom. [00:23:35] Those are not glamorous days. Right. And there's a lot of work that goes into those shots. You know, the guy that's fishing, he's having a great day of play. Me trying to shoot footage of him. Fishing is not play. It is work. Yeah, no, it is. It's all work. I think that's the thing that we all, whatever you chose choose to do as a vocation, there are going to be parts of it that are work. [00:23:55] I don't care how much fun most of it is. You know, I, I have two degrees in recreation and, you know, made a choice early on to make the outdoors, my vocation. But there are days when is your sales guy or you're a product guy or whatever that they're, it's work and just the nature of the beast, I think. Yeah. [00:24:13] And I think that there's a real tendency by people that want to especially get into the outdoor work that will do it for nothing. And I worry about that because this isn't a hobby for me. This is how I feed my family. And I have to make money or I have to do something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a lot of that. [00:24:32] People are selling their services for lower amounts and I think that they are doing it, the service through a lot, a lot of the outdoor pros. And eventually they're going to find out that, you know, there. There is they're going to come to a point where they're not going to go to that lowest bidder because they want to make some money too. [00:24:47] So it's you muzzle start out making a decent, you know, charging a decent amount so you can continue, but that could be a whole nother. Maybe that should be a whole nother episode. Actually. That's a good one. That leaves a good one. Then I think a lot of the reason you'll see that under cutting of. Value across the industry is people are doing this on the side of some off of other office jobs. [00:25:08] Yeah. Or they just want to break into it and they think that's the way to do it. Yeah. Yes, yes. You know, I helped mentor my neighbor's grandson. She came over to the day and she was so excited and she's like, he graduated, he's out of college and he's writing for this newspaper and I'm so glad you helped him. [00:25:23] And I said, Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. I'd love it. And she said, yeah, he's getting paid in beer. I said, Oh no, that's not how this goes down. He is not going to be able to feed his family on beer and the beer is going to wear out, you know, pretty quickly. Yup. Yup. Beer and gear. You can't, you can't make, make a living and feed your face beard gear. [00:25:44] So yeah, you need dollars in there somewhere. Folks. We're going to take a little break, give some love to our sponsor. Hey, do you love to read, but don't always have the time to sit down with a good book on the same.

I saw the trailer this morning. That looks pretty cool. Oh, I'm glad you saw the trailer. I it's very likely you're the first person to see it because I just finished it. It's kind of coming. Like everyone is going to learn soon that it's out. [00:26:45] So I'd love that you got to see it. Um, okay. So the, that comes out in 2021 is ocean to Idaho and it follows salmon migration from the Oregon coast to the Idaho wilderness and the magic behind all that actually started. In early 2020 when I went on the road to follow that migration route. So it's a multi-year project and that's an unusual for me to spread something out like this. [00:27:12] But I wanted one year where I actually shocked that migration is how it had to be done. And then the next year is when it comes out. Because by the time the migration is done, we're into snow and people don't want to watch. Something like that. And they want, I want them to watch this story when the salmon are moving through the area again, and it's the longest piece I've ever edited for videos. [00:27:35] So it's, it's quite a crunch on time, but the reason so many people know about ocean to Idaho already a year in advance is because I let them follow me virtually on the road trip. Smart. Good, good. Yeah. And so everybody was at home. You know, I knew this was what I was going to do. I said, I'm going to follow salmon migration from the ocean to Idaho. [00:27:57] I said that October, 2019, by March of 2020, my plans were down the drain. And I said, I'm going to follow the salmon migration from the ocean to Idaho. That Dennett be damned. And so what I had to do was dump all my plans and figure out how to follow these fish because we were not moving, but the fish still work. [00:28:18] Right. And I wanted to follow them safely and responsibly. And that meant living out of a truck and a camper all summer, following the migration route through Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Did you do that? Solo solo all by myself, I had masks. I had a temperature chart. I had to take my temperatures for several weeks in advance before I even stepped foot in Oregon. [00:28:44] And. Um, I started following the migration in June and I've finished with the last few dozen Chinook salmon that make it to mile 850 in central Idaho wilderness in September. Wow, very cool. And it was, it was, uh, alone. There is one stretch within that 850 miles. That is all wilderness and there's no road. [00:29:07] The only way to navigate that as a raft. And I, I navigated on a raft because somebody that I know in Idaho picked up a permit because everyone from out of town could come use the tags they drawn. Yeah. And so there was that 80 mile stretch of the 850 mile route when I wasn't alone because my family was with me and we run a raft with other families on their rafts and we did whitewater rafting through that wilderness stretch. [00:29:33] Well, that's cool. Other than that I was alone. And, um, I shoot with five cameras and I shot the five cameras by myself. I lived out of a Toyota Tundra and a four wheel camper on top of that. I had to learn how to run everything in one day and when everything kind of fell into place and I said, I'm going, and I'm going to have to do it in a way that isolates me. [00:29:58] Toyota stepped in with, with wheels, but will camper stepped in with the house on top of the wheels? And I knew I was going to go and I just, yeah. Needed somewhere safe to keep me and my gear and to isolate no one was allowed inside my camper or my truck and I wasn't with anybody unless I was interviewing them. [00:30:19] And then they were six feet away. I was totally self-contained. I didn't go into any, that's a story right there. And it's in and of itself. Are you going to tell her how you're going to tell that story or is that part of the film? That's that's a great question. Is that, do I tell that story in the film or not? [00:30:34] And right now, Here's where I'm at, letting people virtually follow me while they were stuck at home. During the pandemic really caught fire people really liked seeing what was going on in the world. Through someone who has to cover it accurately and fairly. And yeah, I don't, I don't paint it pretty. This is what's happening. [00:30:59] Yeah. Yeah. Well, we all like to live vicariously through others sometimes. So that was, yeah, I think during the pandemic that people really attached to that. And so I quickly took that road trip and morphed it into what became a kind of its own standing identity. There's this whole library of episodes and they came out twice a week. [00:31:20] People watched. I had a biomarker for miles zero to eight 50. And I'd say we're at this mile. Marker. Here's why we're here. This is the first of eight down. That's why we're right here. And then that would be on Thursday and on Tuesday it was behind the scenes. Here's my temperature chart. Here's my masks. [00:31:39] Here's what happens with my camera breaks. Here's what happens when I fall out of my camper and. You know, here's what happened. This is why my face is taped up on camera at the end. It's cause I have stitches in my face and know that got to like live all that with me. That you can't plan that. No, that's, that's, that's a story too. [00:31:57] That's a film too. That's I think my thing. So, so I've made all those episodes and people kind of seem to like the idea of binge-watching those now that they're all together. So that's fun. Yeah. But when I started to edit the film and I had 25 hours of footage, And I needed to fit it into a 26 minutes show. [00:32:15] It takes some serious prioritizing. And as a journalist in the truest sense of the word, there is no I story  perspective. Yeah. Yeah. And it's all about every person I have. Every person along that migration route and what that water means to them. And what's going on here that helps fish what's going on here. [00:32:38] That hurts fish. You have to involve all looks perspectives. I wanted everyone's perspective in this issue and I took it as my responsibility to cover it fairly accurately balanced. You know, you start talking about dams, should they stay or should they go, you damn well, better get both sides of that story. [00:32:59] So I decided in the film itself, I pulled myself out of it as a personality. And it's strictly coming from the perspective of everyone that lives along the migration route. And then I'm going to create a director's cut that, pulls it out and says, Oh yeah, here's the spot where. I broke my camera. This is what happened that day. [00:33:22] Right. And here, Oh, let me tell you about these, you know, this part here I showed up. At mile eight 50 was stitches Haggard. Yeah. God, I can't imagine. Yeah. Yeah. I think that'd be a good story right there too though. I think there's a lot of people that like to know, you know, the behind the scenes and that just got verified validated by all the people that followed you. [00:33:42] Yeah. And I think, you know, it's pretty uncomfortable to watch yourself fall apart as you're watching this fall apart. And at the end, the fish died and I didn't. And so now I have to decide how all that gets to roll out. The film itself won't have me in it, but the director's cut. Well, the road trip episodes definitely have in them. [00:34:03] Wait to see it. We'll link to that in the show notes too. It's called ocean to Idaho and there's a trailer there. That sounds super fun. I'm looking forward to that. Yeah. I got to go to the bank film festival a few times, um, back when I was with Eagle Creek and it just, all those kinds of films that you're talking about, and I really was inspired. [00:34:20] Not only by the film, but then some of the backstories when you got to go back and talk to the, the director and the filmmaker. And so I think there's, there's an opportunity to do both of those things. Yeah. Yeah. I'd agree. And I think even more so now the one thing that social media has done is it has changed the expectations on the audience's side. [00:34:38] Yeah. Yeah. You know what I was in news, I could do a live shot at 10 o'clock and tell you what happened on the TV screen. And you would watch me in your living room, but you couldn't tell me anything. You could call the district. If you wanted to complain or say, I need to know something else about this, but with social media, you can actually connect with that person more. [00:34:57] And so your expectation grows. You want a more personal connection with that journalist. Yeah. And I realize now that that, you know, halfway through my career, That was a significant shift and I needed to be open to the idea that people wanted to know what it was like to cover this story and not just know the story. [00:35:15] They're more advanced now. They want more than just the story they want the backstory. Yeah. I think they've realized they can get it now. Right back in the day they couldn't get it. They had no way. Well, I shouldn't say no way, but very few ways to reach out to the producers and the filmmakers. But now, like you say, it's just, it's right there. [00:35:32] It's on social media. Just call them up, you know, send him an email, you know, whatever it might be. Yeah. Do you have any desire to make a feature length film? Do I have any desire to make a feature length film? I thought hard about this question for a long time. Uh, you know what I mean? When I say I come from two-minute news, the longer things get. [00:35:54] The more of a lifetime, they feel, but they also, the challenge intrigues me. Uh, of adding lanes. I honestly didn't think I could pull off a book. I do not have the attention span to sit down that long, but honestly, I broke my leg in three places, coaching kid hockey, and I was on the couch for four months growing bone around a rod. [00:36:22] And I had to sit down, I was on drugs that made my muscles hold still. And so. You can crank out a pretty decent chunk of word count when you have to do that. Yes, you can. Now I don't want to do that to create a feature film, but, uh, 26 minutes for ocean to Idaho will be the longest. I have ever produced. [00:36:43] When I produce shows Freido public TV, they are for a half hour format, which is 26 minutes. Most of my other films have hovered around the 10 minute Mark, you know, uh, on the internet. Shoot. I still turn out two minutes movies. Yeah. That's what people want to watch then all the time. Yeah. But you know, as we talked about the audience expectation growing, I think that when someone says that they're going to make a feature film. [00:37:08] Your first instinct is to think, well, no, one's going to watch that it's too long. But think of the other side of that, our audiences education level and expectation level is growing. You know, they will sit down for it. Even if it's long is good enough. Well, they will. And they do. I mean, look at the explosion of Netflix and Amazon prime video and all these places, YouTube, where we watch all these things, especially now in the pandemic. [00:37:31] But even before the pandemic people, I think they liked the story part of it. Like I was saying about the, the backstory, the director's cut, if you will, of, of ocean to Idaho, that's going to be a phenomenal story. That could be an interesting film. Yeah. And I think that there's the, the intrigue of a feature film. [00:37:51] But I think it's only there for me now because I've grown into it. Yeah. There was no way back when I was doing two-minute news that I could have seriously considered a feature film. And now I've cranked out 50,000 words for a book. So Hey, maybe feature film might be the next lane. There you go, folks. [00:38:11] You heard it here? Well, let's sit with the 26 minutes. I haven't come out yet. Yeah. Let's see how that goes. Yeah. And one thing at a time. Yeah. Okay. Let's get back to some other questions. Um, so you, you do a lot of outdoor activities. Do you have a favorite, favorite outdoor activity? Something that you, and when you're not filming, when you just need to go out with the kids or just blow off some steam, do you go fishing to go hiking? [00:38:37] What do you do? Fly Fisher. I am a trail runner. I am a rafter, a hiker, a biker. I'm all those do it all. Yeah. Yeah. If I get a day off and um, I want to get out, it's not so much about what I'm doing. It's where I'm doing it. That's what matters to me. The farther away, the more rewrote mode it is, the more enticing it is to me. [00:39:05] And I think you. Even if I'm there like a high mountain Lake, you're not going to catch a big five-pound lunker and you're going to work your butt off to get up there and you're going to catch maybe something as long as your hands. Yeah. But that fishing to me is so much more rewarding because I worked so hard to get to it. [00:39:21] And there's nobody else around. Yeah. I tend to do okay. Farther away. And Trevor means the same way. I'm an ultra. So I run distance. And man, you get me back in there on the continental divide, which is deep wilderness in the Idaho Montana borders. Uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna really feel like I'm in my element because no one's around me. [00:39:42] Whereas other runners, particularly women, they feel more comfortable running where there's people. Well, I feel better running my there's no people. Yeah, I'm the same way. I, I, I do better when there's, I mean, I've been this way. My parents have, since I was a kid, I don't talk to anybody. I don't always play by myself. [00:39:59] I still do that. I still find that I would much like Bishop. There's a bunch of places that I can go fishing, but I don't like to go there cause there's, you know, you gotta find an open piece of water. I want to go somewhere where I can just go fish and, uh, or hike or whatever it is. So it's interesting. I never heard it put that way though, but that's. [00:40:17] Crystallizes it for me too. Yeah. Yeah. You'll see. You'll see me doing any of those activities. Yeah. Uh, I, I work in the hike and bike world and the hook and bullet world. So I've got to be pretty versatile for all of it. Um, and my kids have been exposed to all of us. They're little river rats. They, the ones that heck of a runner, he is so much faster than me now, but I can go farther than him. [00:40:40] So there you go. That's good. Yeah. So, uh, let's shift gears a little bit here. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor biz or grow their career or the filmmaking biz? Ooh, which one do you want to hit? Outdoor? Um, let's do outdoor height. Let's stick with outdoor. [00:40:58] Cause that's pretty much what I ask everybody. And do you want to get into outdoor outdoor as a business? Well, yeah, outdoors of business. I mean, I think outdoor, I think a lot of folks, you know, that listen to this show, they listened for the stories, but they also either are in the business or looking to get in the business and, yeah. [00:41:18] All right. So when it comes to the outdoor business, I have a pretty interesting take on it. And it comes from two and a half decades of watching our industry shift. And I'm just so impressed by what I see within our industry as things shift and what matters now, and the way to come at this business. If I were coming at it now would be to look at it from the user's perspective in every. [00:41:51] And every way, and that is because the way we value our natural resources has made a dramatic shift in the last century. And you can see it in the way that outdoor users lay out their expectations and those users are your customers. So a century ago we were, we were mining, logging. It's really pretty cavalier about the other space. [00:42:20] Yeah. Sources to us were, what do we get out of them? What can they do for us with a dollar sign? Now, look at where we're at today. Yes. They're still mining, logging, drilling, developing a little bit of damning and all that still going on, but you know what? Now there's a seat at the table for that natural resource as it is. [00:42:40] Yeah. Natural resources hold a value for what they offer us as they are. Or in many cases that you see today as they will be, as they're put back together, that has a value. Now our natural resources hold, hold value beyond dollar. And when your customers start realizing natural resources, hold value beyond dollar. [00:43:03] The way to connect to them is to also value those natural resources beyond dollar. I like it. Yeah. That's a good point. And that's a good thing. As we, as the world gets more populated and you know, these places get more crowded, it becomes more important to think about those things. I think. Yeah. You know, it was amazing to me. [00:43:23] I don't live very far from the DMV in Idaho falls, Idaho, and, um, It's downtown. Everyone passes by downtown, but it was amazing to me to see how many out-of-state plates were in the parking lot of the DMB, getting licenses for Idaho during the pandemic, California, Texas, Colorado. Plates from everywhere coming here. [00:43:44] And I live about an hour and a half from Yellowstone. So we already get an influx of travelers, but the people, the, the travel, you see the people on the river and they're usually tourists and they stop and they visit, and then they moved to Yellowstone. But the people in the parking lot at the division of motor vehicles, all those out-of-state plates were coming to stay. [00:44:03] Yeah. And so, yeah, you're starting to see that push there's that, you know, the animals. Start to shift with climate change. There's that whole shift in the migration routes is the temperature shifts. But you're also seeing with humanity, they're pushing into places that have space to have resources. Yeah. [00:44:23] You're starting to see that. And even if people don't realize that's what's going on and that's what it is, they're pushing them to safer places to be. Yeah. Yeah. With more space. Yeah. I think you're right. And people are leaving in the country too. Yeah, that's a, we see it up here. In Bishop, but more from a recreation perspective because the land is all pretty much owned. [00:44:41] You can't, there's no, you know, they're not going to build more. The city and Bishop can't get a lot bigger because the land is around them as already owned by department of water, power and, and other folks. So that can't happen. But, um, you see them out here recreating. That's interesting though. I never thought of that. [00:44:57] I never, you know, I haven't been to a small town. Like Idaho falls. So that makes sense though, because you've read about it in the news and people are talking about it all over. People are looking to leave the country, leave the state. I mean, they're itching to get out of California because it's crowded and you know, the, whether you believe or support the politics or not, it's just weird. [00:45:15] So yeah. You know, you see all those, the devastating wildfires in California, you may want to run away from that. Right. Well, when you get a fire of that size in Idaho, wilderness, no one lives there, right? Yeah. It's it's it's, uh, I mean, it's fired a grand scale and I happen to more places in California. The problem in California is that people live there and hopefully it won't, it won't impact. [00:45:40] I'd hope people will not miss more people go there. We gotta make sure that we don't let them live there. They shouldn't live there in my opinion, because it's a tricky thing. Yeah. It's tough. So, but, but, so he's got to call it right. Someone's got to say, no, we can't do this. You know, and we let him, we have these big fires in California and then. [00:45:58] The burns all these places now that we rebuild them right. Where they were. And it happens again, it's like same thing on Florida with flooding, same thing. You're not supposed to build in this zone. Don't rebuild in this. Don't you think that would make sense, but you know what, someone's home. It gets crazy. [00:46:14] I get it. It's their home. Yeah, you're right. And some of these places in these, in these, you know, remote towns and stuff, people have lived there for hundreds of years. So it's in their ancestors home, you know, I saw a bumper sticker the other day, uh, you know, the whole, it was the shape of Idaho, the state with the pan handle. [00:46:34] And it said fr we're full. A lot of folks are saying that, yeah, a lot of folks are saying that as California. And so, you know, I mean, the world said that the U S and the pandemic, they don't want us, you know, coming in. So they. Wouldn't accept passports. And I'm sure States are saying that to you for the same reason, similar reasons. [00:46:53] Anyway. Yeah. It's definitely going to make things interesting. And there's so much that has shifted lifestyle wise because there's a lot that people aren't seeing yet. And that's one of the things I think people aren't really quite seeing. Yeah. Not just visiting the river and the trails as they pass through there at the DMV getting a license, they're staying right. [00:47:16] That's going to be a different farm. Yeah. Um, how about favorite books? Do you have any favorite books or do you have a book? You give us gifts, your book? Of course, I give my book a lot. I find that writing a book puts you in this whole new realm. My place in my man is decades of the most dynamic. News stories I've covered with my perspective added to it. [00:47:39] And so I know that people like to read that. So when you read my place among men, you're reading a legitimate news story with the perspective put into it, that shows you what it's like to be in that moment. Right. And that can apply to every age, race, gender. And so people are really, I mean, I've got 12 year old, little hockey kids reading it, and I've got my neighbor that's 85 reading it. [00:47:58] So it's cool that, that matters. And if you can make a book like that, I'm drawn to those, but you know, an editor's going to tell you that that's not the best way to write if you niche down and it sells better, I'm already in it's down. Cause I'm in the outdoors. So there's some of that. If I have to pick, you know, if I'm going to pick a book that I want to give to someone, honestly, it's not a classic novel style book. [00:48:25] It's a book that fits more to my two minute attention span. And that's all the places you'll go by Dr. Seuss. Oh, cool. I love it. That's a good one. Yeah. I loved the way he plays with words. I love the way he breaks all the rules on what we think, things look like and sound like, and that he does it in about two minutes. [00:48:46] He was an amazing writer. I mean, you know, to a P to get a little kid, to sit down and write a book like that. And then even adults, like you say, some of those books, you read them as adults. Like, ah, never S I never read that before. You know, I never interpreted that way before. That's cool. How about your favorite piece of outdoor gear? [00:49:03] Under a hundred dollars. My favorite piece of outdoor gear pushes the a hundred dollars Mark, pretty hard, but I think it's still worth it. It's trail running shoes. So, um, I've tried different brands. And so there, it just to kind of depends on what kind of, I think it all comes down to cushion. Yeah. I used to run barefoot, so I'm a minimalist. [00:49:22] I want as little as I can get on the bottom of my feet. I like to feel the ground and, uh, I don't run barefoot anymore. I think after 15 miles, that's not a smart idea. It's be hard on the knees, but here's what I find about trail running shoes. I wore hiking boots forever. And when I, my leg in three places, one of the breaks was the hockey puck hit my shin and then just kind of shattered the bone in every direction from there. [00:49:49] And so where a hiking boot rides up higher on your shin, that's a total no-go for that seam where rods and screws are inside my rebuilt Lake. Yeah, I can do it, but I don't like it. So I stopped wearing a high rise, hiking boot. And I had trout runners in my closet because I run trail. I started wearing that instead, and now I wear my trail runners when I'm not running. [00:50:14] My old pairs are my mowing shoes. I go through several pairs a year. And so, uh, the bottom wears out before the top. So I just following them. But I find that I'm also. Uh, we went scouting for elk a few weeks ago and I wore trail runners and we weren't, we weren't even on a trail and we were bushwhacking and I found a hole, the hole, I found like a moose graveyard. [00:50:38] It was like the whole remains of a moose and it's racking, everything. Wow. Totally undisturbed. And so we were way off trail and I was only in trail runners. So. A trail runner with a Gator guard to keep up the gravel. Yeah, I find is so versatile and works in so many situations. If I need to get in the river, they dry out quick. [00:51:00] So I picked trail running shoes because they. Are versatile way beyond trail. Yeah, no, I agree with you. I don't wear hiking boots, either stiff souls or any of that stuff. Nope. I wear lightweight and oftentimes trail running shoes just because I have really bad knees, but I agree with you. I mean, it's lighter. [00:51:16] It's, it's, you know, less work on your leg and if you can get a good trail running shoe, you get the support you need. So I totally agree with you. Yeah. And I would say that maybe with a heavy pack, you know, a multi-day backpacking trip where you've got your house and your back, or my camera pack on my back for extended time. [00:51:32] Maybe that's not the best idea with powered ankle support, but by and large, I'm doing fine without wearing a big, heavy, stiff, clunky hiking boots. My mother hit mom the same. Yep. Um, as we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say to our audience or ask our audience? I would ask you to do this. [00:51:52] Stick your feet in the river, any river, the closest one you can get to people say they don't have the access to the outdoors, but you know, don't you drink water and that water is coming from somewhere. It's fine. Flowing water and stick your feet in it. It just makes that connection to our outdoor world. [00:52:10] That much more important to you if you can connect with it. And that's a simple way to do it, you don't need a lot of expensive gear. You don't have to drive far. Yeah. But just find a way to connect. And for me, that's the sticking your feet in the water. Perfect. I love it. That's a good one. That should be a t-shirt. [00:52:24] Maybe I'll make a t-shirt and if people want to reach out to you, where's the best way. Where's the best place for them to find you the best way to reach willing to all your social? Yeah. We'll link to all your social feeds. Yeah. So the best way to find me would be to go through my company website, Tate line, media.com. [00:52:44] Okay, cool. We'll link to that in the show notes too. Well, it's been great talking to you. I look forward to seeing you at one of the OWA events soon, and whenever we, whenever we get back together, we will. That's coming. And if, and if there's an Orr, we got to do that, we should for sure. Make sure that there's an in-person event where we can actually see people we got to meet. [00:53:05] Yeah, we will connect. Definitely. Well, thanks, Chris. I look forward to letting you know when this goes live and, uh, talking to you next week on the webinar, maybe your next month, I guess he was on that webinar. Yeah, thank you. All right, thanks. Have a good day. Have a good holiday. Thank you for joining us.

In this second video in the series A Christian Guide to Beauty & Design I talk about the objectivity of beauty.Video 1 - Introduction (https://youtu.be/xDe5X6Yl-WI)Support the Channel: https://www.patreon.com/thebibleisartWebsite: https://www.thebibleisart.comEmail: thisdivineart@gmail.comTwitter: @johnbhigginsImages: Paweł Czerwiński (https://unsplash.com/@pawel_czerwinski)| Transcription |Welcome back to The Bible is Art. We are currently in a series where I bring you along with me as I write a book on a Christian Guide to Beauty and Design. This week we're talking about the objectivity of beauty. Beauty is objective. That is, when I say that poster or a painting is beautiful or well designed, I am saying something about the work, not something about how I feel about it. I'm not offering a preference. I am saying something about the work's nature or essence, it's structure and the relations between its parts. You certainly should feel a preference toward beautiful things, but that has nothing to do with whether it is or is not beautiful. Whether you have good feelings toward a well designed painting is predicated upon your aesthetic development, a topic I shall discuss later when we talk about the Fall and Aesthetic Discipleship. No all this is confused by our language. When we point to a poster, a painting, or album cover and say that it's “good” or “beautiful”, that could mean three things. First, it could mean that I am saying something objective about it, that it is well designed, that is, it has the properties of a beautiful design. Second, It could mean a subjective preference. That is, I am saying something about myself and my internal state that may or may not relate to objective features of the object. Or third, both. That is, I am saying that I do think the object is objectively well designed and I subjectively enjoy it. Unfortunately, this linguistic confusion has caused a lot of confusion in aesthetics. It has contributed one more brick in the house of relativism. But there is no need to conclude that beauty is subjective because of an opaqueness in our language. Let me pause here. While there are subjective aesthetic preferences (for instance, cultural or individual preferences for certain colors or patterns), this has no effect on the objectivity of beauty and its properties. Just as people have preferences for different types of food, there are foundational properties of what makes good food for humans. Arsenic, for example, would not be good food. But the existence or culinary preferences in no way affects the necessary properties to make something good food. Okay, back to the argument. Beauty, good design is objective. It is a feature of objects and we know this for a number of reasons.Intuition. Most people naturally believe that beauty exists and that when we identify something as beautiful we are saying something about that thing and not something about ourselves. And if that's a natural intuition, we would need to have a really good reason to disbelieve.Individual Practice. Every wife assumes that when you tell her she is beautiful that you are saying something about her, not you. And the same goes for the Grand Canyon, iPhones, and stories. And if this is our common practice, the way we live. And there is intelligence in our actions. And, once again, we only need to change our assumption if we have reasons to do so. And I don't think we do.Commercial Practice. When you read standard graphic design texts the rules for good design are universal and widely agreed upon. And when you...

I'm starting a new series on a Christian Guide to Beauty and Design and I introduce it in this videoSupport the Channel: https://www.patreon.com/thebibleisartWebsite: https://www.thebibleisart.comEmail: thisdivineart@gmail.comTwitter: @johnbhiggins| Transcription |Welcome back to the Bible is Art and this week we're starting a new series on A Christian Guide to Beauty and Design.For awhile now I've been writing a book. And I've been writing a book because it didn't exist. You see, years ago I was teaching a high school course on Christian Worldview where we had sections on every main area of knowledge. So we had a Christian view of economics, science, ethics, mathematics and aesthetics, the study of beauty and design. And as I looked for material on Christian aesthetics I found that the books that were available were too broad, that is, books talking about the general importance of beauty in the Bible or theology. There wasn't anything that talked about what makes something beautiful, visually beautiful for a Christian. So life went on and my professional life moved into design and photography. So while my undergraduate and graduate training was in Biblical Studies, Philosophy, and Theology, my professional work was and is in an aesthetic discipline. And as I lived in the worlds of design and theology, some very obvious connections became clear to me. But in discussions with people and reading books on beauty, these simple insights were missing. It was for these reasons that I started to write a book on A Christian Guide to Beauty and Design. But as I was writing, I also started this YouTube channel and decided to just release videos on it as I write the book. That way I can get feedback and the book can be truer, better, and I hope more beautiful. So the goal of these videos and the book is simply this: to explain what makes something beautiful and why.And with that let me leave you with these words from the poet Francis Thompson:“The Church, which was once the mother of poets no less than of saints, during the last two centuries has relinquished to aliens the chief glories of poetry, she has retained the palm, but forgone the laurel. Fathers of the Church (we should say), pastors of the Church, pious laics of the Church: you are taking from its walls the panoply of Aquinas; take also from its walls the psaltery of Alighieri. Unroll the precedents of the Church's past; recall in your minds that Francis of Assisi was among the precursors of Dante, that sworn to poverty he forswore not Beauty, but discerned through the lamp Beauty the Light God. What you theoretically know vividly realize: that with many the religion of beauty must always be a passion and a power, that is only evil when divorced from the worship of Primal Beauty.”

Transcription Welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. I'm Lauren Davis, and joining me today is Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching, a medical oncologist who serves as the clinical program director of genitourinary cancers at Inova Schar Cancer Center in Fairfax, Virginia. She treats patients with genitourinary cancers. Dr. Aragon-Ching, welcome to the podcast. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Thank you very much, Lauren, glad to be here. We're glad you're here. Today we're talking about new treatment options for patients with prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma. There are new therapies available, but I wonder how do you decide which combination of drugs to use for a particular patient? Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yes, Lauren, so there has been a lot of exciting challenges and changes actually in both prostate and advanced kidney cancer treatment, so let me first start off with advanced kidney cancers. There has been several recent approvals with a combination of immuno-oncology drugs-- so that's what they're called, I-O drugs-- and VEGF TKIs, which have paved the way for better treatment outcomes. But it is very crucial to pay attention to potential side effects, as we decide to choose between different treatment options. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So for first-line metastatic kidney cancer treatment, the options have always included TKIs alone. So for instance, we've always had sunitinib and pazopanib, although cabozantinib soon joined the first-line TKI therapy, since about late December 2017. So more recently, combination I-Os using nivolumab and ipilimumab, as well as I-O plus TKI combinations, such as pembrolizumab and axitinib, or avelumab and axitinib, have been approved and are currently available commercially. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So one way to distinguish these different regimens would be to evaluate what to call the IMDC criteria. So that stands for international Metastatic RCC Database Consortium criteria. So these are six different factors that the clinician can evaluate for each of their patients. So any time they have presence of anemia, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, hypercalcemia, and a poor performance status, and if their time from diagnosis to systemic treatment is less than a year, they get a point for each. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So if a patient has none of these factors, they would be considered to have favorable risk disease. And if they have one to two factors, then they are considered to have intermediate risk disease. If they have three or more of these, they're considered poor risk. And that's important because we want to be able to distinguish between these different categories of patients. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So for instance, if we think about intermediate or a poor-risk disease patient, they benefit a lot from the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab. And this is based on what you call the CheckMate 214 trial. And they reported the 30-month update at ASCO GU earlier this year. So the results showed 11.3% complete response rate compared to sunitinib, which only yielded 1.2% complete response rate. So if we look at the overall response rates for all the patients, 42% versus only 29% in the sunitinib arm. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, on the other hand, pembrolizumab and axitinib with the KEYNOTE-426 Trial, also showed remarkable objective responses at around 59% versus only 35% for the sunitinib arm. And the complete responses was also impressive, occurring in about 5.8% in the combination arm. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, if we look at the risk of death, it was 47% lower in the pembro/axitinib group compared to the sunitinib group. And the 18-month overall survival was 82% compared to 72% in the sunitinib arm. Now, there's another trial that looked at combination of avelumab and axitinib. This was called the JAVELIN Renal 101 Trial. And it also showed an impressive objective response rate of 55% in the PD-L1 positive population. And that's compared to sunitinib which only yielded like a 25% response rate. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: However, the concern was a primary endpoint for the JAVELIN Trial was a dual PFS, so that's Progression Free Survival, and overall survival endpoints. But the overall survival data is not yet mature at this time. And so preliminary results may be really inadequate to draw definitive conclusions as to which one is really the best. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So regardless, the combination I-O and axitinib yielded a good response regardless of these IMVC risk groups. However, if we think about patients who have favorable risk, they really did not benefit as much from the combination pure I-O therapy, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab. And if we look further at the CheckMate 214 Trial that looked at Nivo/Ipi it showed that sunitinib actually had better responses than Nivo/Ipi in that population of favorable risk patients. So it was around 50% versus 39% in those who got Nivo/Ipi. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: However, for patients who have intermediate or poor-risk disease, I think it's very important to have shared decision-making between the provider and the patient so that they can both determine if the dual immunotherapy, I-O, I-O therapy, versus let's say, an I-O plus TKI would be the best treatment option. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, it's very important to also note that beyond the discussion of efficacy, which is defined by what I mentioned earlier about CR aids and objective response rates, toxicity is very important to think about with regard to choice of treatments. So for instance, the I-O combination, the Nivo/Ipi in the in the CheckMate 214 Trial resulted in 35% of patients who required high dose prednisone. So for us, we defined this as using prednisone of 40 milligram doses or more. So that's certainly a high number, 35%. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: However, there seems to be less in the combination I-O plus TKI, only, let's say, 11% in the JAVELIN Trial. So I would say if a patient has strict contraindications and can't safely receive high dose steroids, these different regimens would have to be weighed carefully by the clinician. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, on the other hand, there are certain toxicities that are far more frequent in the combination I-O/TKI, for instance, the grade 3 or 4 elevations in liver enzyme levels. So in the pembro/axitinib group, it was certainly higher than previously observed when each agent was used alone as monotherapy. So for instance, in the pembro/axi arm, it was 27% versus only 16% in the sunitinib arm. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: I would like to switch gears now for prostate cancer. So treatment for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer has undergone dramatic changes, also this far. So ADT has been what we've been using for men with metastatic disease. So ADT is short for Androgen Deprivation Therapy, that is until data on CHAARTED and STAMPEDE and LATITUDE showed that adding early docetaxel chemo or abiraterone, respectively, are better in improving overall survival outcomes. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So recent FDA approvals of apalutamide, which is a novel anti-androgen drug, based on the TITAN Trial in the metastatic hormone-sensitive space, is really the newest addition. And it shows improved outcomes. So similarly, another trial that adds enzalutamide to ADT plus docetaxel was presented at ASCO during the plenary session, and this is called the ENZAMET trial, and it showed improvement in outcomes, with 80% of the men surviving in three years, compared to only 72% in those who got ADT plus other non-steroidal anti-androgens, like old generation drugs, like bicalutamide or nilutamide. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: However, in the pre-specified subgroup analysis of this trial, it was shown that the effects of enzalutamide was actually smaller among patients who are pre-specified to have planned early docetaxel or in those who have high-volume disease. In addition, we also are aware that while more drugs may mean better efficacy, it actually may also mean more toxicity. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So, for instance, in the enzalutamide arm, where patients also received early docetaxel, there were more grade 2 neuropathy, like 9%, compared to 3% in the other arm. Fatigue was also far higher, at 20% versus only 14.5%, as well as other toxicities, like nail discoloration. Most importantly, 16% of patients in the enzalutamide arm, in addition to the chemo arm, had to stop because of an adverse event, compared to 4% in the non-steroidal arm. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So this tells us that we have to really think about what to give patients with high-volume disease who are otherwise fit for chemotherapy. Since docetaxel appears to be still the most important optimal treatment option, I think adding enzalutamide to ADT and docetaxel may not confer additional benefits, and we would still better serve patients by offering ADT plus docetaxel alone for those who are otherwise fit for chemotherapy. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: In contrast, there is no direct evidence of benefit for early docetaxel in patients with low-volume disease and those who are already deemed to have good prognosis. As such, for patients with high-volume disease and not fit for chemotherapy, as well as patients with low-volume disease, we now have direct evidence that overall survival benefit is seen from using abiraterone, apalutamide, and enzalutamide when it is added to ADT. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, another phase of prostate cancer that has undergone revolutionary change is what we call the non0metastatic CRPC, Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer space. So in this area, we now have three novel anti-antrogens that have been approved in the past year alone that can be added with ADT. So that includes apalutamide, enzalutamide, as well as darolutamide, all of which were approved just in the last year and a half alone. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, they do have different side effect profiles, including CNS effects, patients can have more risk of falls, hypertension, fatigue, cardiovascular disorders. Therefore, the ultimate choice for an individual patient really depends on the physician detailing the risks and benefits of each approach and considering the patient's other health care issues. So if they have hypertension, diabetes, certainly assessing access to the care, as well as costs, and most importantly, patient preference. ASCO Daily News: That sounds very exciting. It sounds like you're really helping to move the field forward. So one of the goals is to improve the patient experience when they're undergoing treatment. What are some ways to reduce toxicity while maintaining efficacy? I know you touched on this a little bit earlier. I Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching:  really think the answer to that question is patient selection. Different regimens, we know, result in varying efficacy but also different side effects. So for kidney cancer, for instance, that combination I-O therapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab has the highest potential complete response rates in the order of 11% based on that 30-month follow up that I mentioned of the CheckMate 214 Trial compared to about 5.6% in the KEYNOTE pembro and axitinib study. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: However, there was also a higher incidence of patients requiring high dose steroids, that's 35%. On the other hand, when we look at the combination I-O and TKI with pembrolizumab and axitinib or avelumab and axitinib, they have good objective response rates but less CR rates, though I would certainly caution against cross-comparison between trials. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, I think it's also important to know that toxicities that pertain to both I-O drug and TKI may not also be easily discernible when they're used together. So, for instance, in liver toxicities, whenever a patient manifests with liver enzyme elevation, the clinician has to determine is this autoimmune in nature versus just transaminitis from a VEGF toxicity so that treatment discontinuation for both would actually have to be undertaken. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: On the other hand, treatment side effects that led to discontinuation of any treatment was seen in about 25%. So that's a quarter of patients who received the combination pembro and axitinib. It was about 22% in those who got Nivo/Ipi, and only 4% of those who got avelumab and axitinib. So very different. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So other things to consider, I think, would be the peculiar side effects that occur for each agent, such as perhaps, let's say, higher infusion reactions with avelumab is about 12%. And there's a need to premedicate patients. And the infusion frequency also for avelumab is every two weeks compared to, say, every three weeks for those who got pembro and every four weeks for those who are on maintenance phase of nivolumab. So it's very different in terms of convenience as well for patients. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: However, more importantly, patients and physicians alike look at overall survival as well, with both nivolumab and ipilimumab, as well as pembro and axitinib achieving overall survival hazard ratios of 0.71, and 0.53, let's say, for the pembro/axi trial, while the avelumab/axitinib had a hazard ratio of 0.78 that was not statistically significant. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, if we look at prostate cancer, we look at similar issues. In order to minimize toxicity, patient selection, I think, is still key as well. So for the non-metastatic CRPC, where we can now add three potential anti-androgens, either apalutamide, enzalutamide, or darolutamide to ADT, we have to be very mindful of the possible additive side effects with hypertension, cardiovascular effects, fractures, seizures, or CNS effects. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So one way of mitigating these side effects is just being attuned to the possible increased risk. And we have to engage our partners, the internists, cardiologists, in monitoring for metabolic syndrome side effects, for instance. So it's very important to be vigilant in watching out for any neurologic effects and frailty for our patients who may be at risk. ASCO Daily News: That's good to know. What about patients who have comorbidities? How does that affect prescribing certain therapies? Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Lauren, I think this is a very relevant question. There are certain prostate cancer patients, for instance, who are at high risk of developing toxicities, especially because of their cardiovascular, hypertension, diabetes, or even stroke. So if they already have pre-existing morbidity risks, like let's say, poorly controlled blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, they have very high blood sugar, we know that any ADT, as well as all these newer, even newer anti-androgens, have potential added risk. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: And there is, unfortunately, no additional guidelines that we can really follow, for the clinicians to follow. So awareness, I think, is very important so that we can mitigate these side effects, and we can partner with their primary care doctors so that we can immediately address emerging issues as they come. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: And this encompasses not just seizures, which really make up a very small number of the risks, but rather the mental impairment, memory loss, and a lot of these patients, remember, are elderly and also the patients we see. So they are at particularly higher risk. So it's important to take all of these into consideration. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, for kidney cancers, as I alluded to earlier, given the possible autoimmune side effects from the use of I/O drugs, patients who have a pre-existing autoimmune disorders were typically excluded from a lot of those trials. However, it's also important to note that given the high potential risk to require steroids, especially for patients getting the combination nivolumab and ipilimumab, the I-O/I-O combination, it's really an important discussion to have with patients who may have a strong contraindication to receive high dose corticosteroids. So, for instance, those with uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension. ASCO Daily News: That's great to know. So what's in the pipeline for new FDA approvals? Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So yes, I think, I mean, the recent FDA approvals, for instance, in prostate cancer, the FDA has granted a breakthrough therapy designation to a PARP inhibitor called niraparib. So this is now indicated for patients with BRCA1 and 2 mutant metastatic CRPC. But they have to have failed prior toxin-based these chemo and AR, Androgen Receptor inhibitor. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Now, for bladder cancer, I would say treatment beyond immunotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors have really left a big void because this is an area of increased unmet need. So recent accelerated approval was granted to a drug called erdafitinib for those patients who have progressed on or at least one prior chemotherapy and had certain FGFR3 gene mutations or FGFR2 or three gene fusions after an FDA approved test. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Another drug that's very promising, not get approved, but was submitted to the FDA for a biologic license application is a drug called enfortumab. And this is for patients who have locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have previously received an immune checkpoint inhibitor and has received a palladium containing chemotherapy and has failed in the metastatic setting. So I think those are the recent FDA approvals that are really relevant for GU cancers. ASCO Daily News: That's great. So my last question, I'm just curious about are there recent political trials with practice-changing results that you've seen? Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yeah, so I think that the two most influential trials would be in prostate cancer, and I've actually alluded to both of them earlier in our discussion. So one of them is the TITAN Trial which looked at apalutamide in the metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. So recall that apalutamide was initially approved actually by the FDA in February of 2018 initially for treatment of non-metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: But more recently, in September 2019, apalutamide was approved for the hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer. So this was the TITAN Trial, which was also updated and presented at ASCO GU and published at the New England Journal of Medicine at the same time. It was combined with ADT and was found to be significantly important to extend overall survival in those patients who received it. It was a 33% reduction in the risk of death. So it also improved radiographic progression free survival compared to placebo plus ADT and resulted in a 52% lower risk of radiographic progression or death. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Another trial that I think is relevant and is practice-changing is the ENZAMET Trial. So this trial enrolled 1,125 men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and they were combined with ADT and enzalutamide. And again, compared to older generation drugs, non-steroidal drugs, like bicalutamide or nilutamide or flutamide, and those patients also were allowed to receive docetaxel. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So this was a positive trial, as I mentioned earlier. 80% of the men treated with the enzalutamide with or without docetaxel were alive compared to 72% of the men who had received just standard non-steroidal anti-androgens. So this translated to a reduction in the rate of death by 33%. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: And again, as I alluded to earlier, the subgroup analysis showed that the men who had a high-disease burden, 71% of the enzalutamide my group versus 64% of the comparator group were alive at three years. On the other hand, of the 537 men with low-disease burden, 90% in the enza group, versus 82%, were alive at three years. Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: So therefore, the interpretation of this trial is really survival is only improved more markedly with enzalutamide in men who did not receive early docetaxel. Therefore, men with high-volume disease who are fit for chemotherapy are probably the most appropriate patients to receive ADT with docetaxel because additional enzalutamide also brings about seemingly more toxicity.

In this video I look at why Mary's birth looks like infidelity and why Joseph's righteousness is strange.Support the Channel: https://www.patreon.com/thebibleisartWebsite: https://www.thebibleisart.comEmail: thisdivineart@gmail.comTwitter: @johnbhiggins| Transcription |Welcome back to the Bible is Art where we explore the literary artistry of the Bible. And this week we're talking about some strange and lovely things about Jesus' birth.Matthew begins his gospel with an expansive, and exhaustive genealogy. Where Jesus is identified with the highest members of the Israelite family. Kings, priests, prophets, and psalmists. And in all this Jesus is this climactic cumulative character encompassing all of humanity in his body. This is the king about whom this gospel will be about.And in line with this grand backstory Matthew announces to us that he will now give us the story of this King's birth. But as will become a theme in Matthew's gospel this opening story does not unfold as we are expecting.Here's what the text says, Matthew 1:18–21:Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” With Jesus' pedigree we are expecting a parade. But instead, King Jesus' birth almost divides a family, causing a divorce. Furthermore, his birth will look like infidelity, adultery. Mary is pregnant without being with a man.Now why did this climactic king's birth take place in this strange way? Matthew could have easily left it out and he did not include it just for its drama or to give the story texture. So why did he include it? And why did God design his son's birth in this manner?Well first, as we saw in the video about women in Matthew's genealogy, there is an appearance of infidelity, impurity, but in reality, it is the exact opposite. Mary appears to have been impure, sleeping with another man and becoming pregnant, but in reality she has the purity of soul to accept the savior into her body.You see, Jesus' whole ministry will have this same shape. He will constantly be accused of violating the law, of sinning, but in reality he is doing the opposite. He is accused of sin because he is healing on the Sabbath when in reality he was doing what the Sabbath was designed for, the restoration of life. And this is the same shape of Jesus‘s greatest act. It will appear to be the opposite of what it is. It will appear to be defeat when in reality it is victory. Second, this strange birth will show us the first example of the different kind of righteousness that Jesus describes. Remember, he will say that we need to have a righteousness that surpasses the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees. But he is not talking about in quantity, just more righteous acts, but in quality. There is a new kind of righteousness that is needed.Notice, our narrator, for the first time in the Gospel has evaluated a character as righteous. In verse 19 it says, “And Joseph, being a righteous man…” And given how uncommon it is for biblical narrators to give explicit evaluation of characters, why here?You see, Joseph exemplifies the...

In this video I look at the fascinating things that Matthew is doing when he quotes Jesus in another language than the rest of the gospel, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani", "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46).The Bible is the greatest work of literary genius. And The Bible is Art is a YouTube Channel devoted to explaining this literary art in all its sophistication, elegance, and design.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebibleisartwebsite: https://www.thebibleisart.comemail: thisdivineart@gmail.comtwitter: @johnbhigginsmusic: Kai Engel, "Coelum" (https://www.kai-engel.com)| Transcription |Welcome back to the Bible is art where we explore the literary artistry of the Bible and this week we're looking at why Matthew has Jesus speak in a foreign language from the cross and then translates it. And I know that doesn't sound interesting but I promise it is super fascinating.When Jesus is on the cross Matthew tells us that he “cried out with a loud voice, saying, "ey-li, ey-li, lema, sabachth-ani? That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" That is, Matthew is giving the original words that Jesus spoke. Now this is strange. Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek and Jesus' normal everyday language was Aramaic. Nowhere else in his Gospel does Matthew give us the original Aramaic words of Jesus. All the rest of the words of Jesus were originally in Aramaic but Matthew chose to translate them into Greek for the Gospel. So why have them foreign only here?You might think it's because it's important, and while that's certainly true that can't be the only reason because other places like sermon on the mount or resurrection don't have a different language. So there has to be something about its differentness, it's foreignness. Matthew uses a foreign language to the text, a different language from the rest of the Gospel, because what is happening is so foreign. The form matches the content. God's anointed king is killed, forsaken by his Father. This is the most unknown foreign event conceivable. It is fitting, therefore, that the language used to communicate it equally foreign and strange.But Matthew goes one step further. He interprets it. After he quotes Jesus' Aramaic, Matthew said, “That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Why does Matthew translate what he had made foreign? I mean, if he was going to translate it anyway, why go to the trouble to include the original, untranslated language in the first place? Think about what we just saw about Matthew's reason for making it foreign. He made the language foreign because the content, the thing it was describing, Jesus being forsaken by his Father, was so foreign. So if Matthew translates it, that means that the foreignness won't remain foreign. And if the language mirrors reality, perhaps the death, the Father abandoning, that is so foreign to Jesus' life will also be interpreted, translated into something intelligible. Perhaps this capital punishment will become a sacrifice, an entombed carcass a seed.

In this video we look at the literary parallel of Jesus and Samson in the annunciation in Matthew 1:18-25.Support the Channel: https://www.patreon.com/thebibleisartWebsite: https://www.thebibleisart.comEmail: thisdivineart@gmail.comTwitter: @johnbhiggins| Transcription |Welcome back to the Bible is Art where we explore the literary artistry of the Bible and this week we're talking about the riddles of Jesus and Samson.Let me read for you the annunciation scene from Matthew's Gospel:“Now the birth of Jesus took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.' All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and they shall call his name Immanuel' (which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus”There are many parallels in the OT to Jesus' annunciation, where the angels come and announce that a woman will have a son. For instance, Sarah and Hannah both have angels visit them with this news. But the closest parallel is to Samson's mother. So why make the strongest connection to Samson, what connection does Matthew want us to make between Samson and Jesus?Samson is a strange judge and he's different from the 11 other judges. His is the longest narrative and it is also the most puzzling. Samson was a nazirite from birth. A nazirite was someone who specially devoted themselves to God for some period of time, in Samson's case, his whole life. And there were some rules for being a nazirite, one of them being no touching dead animals and no eating or drinking anything from the vine. Another law that will be important for understanding Samson is that the Israelites were not to marry wives of some foreign places. And finally, we have to remember that the author of Hebrews places Samson in the hall of faith among the men and women of greatest faith.With this as the background we can start puzzling over Samson. The first thing that Samson does in the story is demand a Philistine wife. His parents protest but Samson insists. Seems like not an ideal first action for the climactic judge.Next, when he goes down to get his wife he stops in the vineyards of the city of Timnah. Strike two, why would he stop in a vineyard when he couldn't partake of anything there?While he's there a lion attacks him and he kills it, presumably touching a dead animal, then later he will scoop out honey that is in that dead animal. Strike three.Now if Samson is so great, as the author of Hebrews tells us, if he's the climactic Judge, which he is, and if his birth is the closest parallel to Jesus, and it is, why all the disobedience? Why all the strangeness? And we haven't even talked about all the weird things. Not only does he kill a lion and eat honey out of it but he presents puzzles to his enemies, has strength in his hair, and ties foxes tails together, lighting them on fire to destroy crops, and, this might be the craziest thing, in the end commits suicide. I mean, what's...

The podcast of Nature sounds. The Earth is singing. Waves of sound move around the Earth in conjunction with the sun. The birds of the morning and these grasshoppers of night. These are the sounds of Earth spinning in space. These are the sounds that we are designed to hear. The sounds that connect us to being part of all Life. The sounds that awaken within us the memory that we are Earth. We are part of one Life. Everyone, everything, every animal and every plant, every mountain and every stream, every cloud and every breath. All made of the same elements being recycled again, and again, and again. Each atom on its own incredible journey of transformation. Anything that ever has been here on Earth is still here in the form of changing atoms and everything and everyone whoever will be here is already here now in the form of changing atoms. I love to think of this. Life somehow is less personal and more universal when I think these things, I feel in a very real and physical way, that I am a part of you, part of this planet. Like the tiny hairs growing on my arm, we are all grown from Earth. This knowing means that we belong. We are part of all Life. We are home. The atoms of Earth, winds, water and fire are intrinsically parts of us. As is all past and all future. Embodying this knowing, changes how Life looks, how other people appear. It shifts perspective into an entirely different understanding of who we are, and I love it. For me it gives me the ability to see with joy. To look at another person with awe. And to feel immense gratitude for the experience of experiencing as a human being for a moment. My prayer is that the vibrations of these grasshoppers warp our minds, so we can see with gratitude and awe. And think and feel, speak and act, and interact with the deep knowing that we are part of each other. And in all the small actions that we do through the day, from this perspective that we contribute to creating a world where everybody, everybody has enough.

In this video I look at the symbolism of 10 in the literary structure of genesis, the plagues, and the ten commandments.email: thebibleisart@gmail.comtwitter: @johnbhiggins| Transcription |Welcome back to the Bible is art where we look at the literary artistry of the Bible and in this week we are looking at the symbolism in the structure of Genesis. The biblical authors make heavy use of number symbolism but not in this sort of weird number symbolism of like the books like the Bible code where you know in 2012 Saddam Hussein blabbity blah. No, no, no. They use number symbolism in a similar way to how colour symbolism is used in literature that is it may have its own symbolic nature. So red can symbolize love or lust or passion or white could symbolize purity and sometimes it can allude back to other situations where that color is used. We're gonna look at the symbolism of the number 10 and we're gonna do this because last week we saw that the book of Genesis is organized into ten sections and there's a symbolic reason for that. But before we understand that we have to look at how the Bible uses the number ten. The first time it uses the symbolism of number ten it's actually the place where it sets up this symbolism is in Genesis chapter one. And in Genesis chapter 1 this symbolic use is subtle it's not as if the author says and God did something ten times. You have to look a little bit more carefully.In Genesis chapter 1 God creates the heavens and the earth. And it's fascinating to see whatspecifically about creation our narrator wants to point our attention. He wants to point our attention to the means, how God creates the world. And he creates it by speech, by speaking. 10 times the narrator tells us God said, so God said "let there be light" and God said "letthere be an expanse" etc. So in Genesis chapter 1 this symbolic connection is established between the number 10 and creation. Now you may be thinking that's a sort of slim connection right just counting up 10 verbs and I would agree with you if this were the only time but time and time again the biblical authors will layer on examples of the number 10 symbolismThe next time the number 10 symbolism is used is in the plagues of Egypt. There are, of course, 10 plagues, but the numerical connection is not the only connection. There's a creationalconnection. If you remember back to Genesis 1, the way that God designs the universe is that he designs it into three parts: heaven, earth/land and sea.
