Welcome back to ThinkDoc. This is Global Connections. I'm Jay Fidel and I'm with Rupemati Kandakar. She joins us from New York. She is our global reporter and we are talking today about what is going on in Israel today. It's very awful, worse yet every single day. Rupemati, tell us what's going on today in Israel with Hamas. Aloha Jay and it's my pleasure to join you and today we speak about such an important event happening. It's just not an event. It's a catastrophe that is brought in by Hamas and as India stands with Israel, I think I too stand by Israel firmly after seeing this. So let's go to the October 7th attack day, the 710, which happened and it was a surprise assault by Hamas to land, air and sea. Unexpected 5000 terrorists infiltrating Jerusalem, Israel and from the Gaza Strip and taking 900 people dead in a matter of moments and several hundreds hostages, 5000 missiles fired in the early hours of the day. I mean it was an attack which even stunned the iron dome system of Israel and that was the Israeli intelligence failure or you can say it was an attack which stunned the Israel forces because even it took two days for the IDF Israeli defense forces to take control of the ground situation. Now Hamas calls it as Operation Al-Asqa. So Jay if you know about the Al-Asqa mosque it is situated in Jerusalem and it is a holy place for the three religions Judaism, Islam and Christianity. So these three hold it holy but a few days before National Security Advisor Ben Kav said that we would open the gates of the Al-Asqa mosque for all people because it is known as the Temple Mount for the Jews and it's known as the Al-Asqa mosque for the Muslims. So he said that they could come at will. Now Hamas conveniently puts it that this series of events triggered the October 7th attack but Jay that's not true. This is a very concerted well thought planned strategically executed attack which had a foreign hand and we are talking about that Iran being the foreign hand involved in this this Intifat or the uprising that they have is not a meager one. It is a huge one because not only did the target military establishment the targeted civilians and brutally so that kind of brings on the point that this cannot go unanswered. Yes well we thought it was pretty brutal when they were shooting these kids at a music festival people who offered who could not offer any resistance who were unarmed civilians and they shot them in cold blood. It was something out of the Second World War and you know the Nazi pogroms it was brutal mass murder is what it was and then walking through these middle class towns and villages near the Gaza border just shooting people on the street at will who were unarmed who could offer no resistance and going into their homes and holding them hostage in their own homes and you imagine anything more terrifying and then taking them hostage on the street and we saw we saw some videos of that it was very troubling to see it's it's embossed in my mind and memory those videos people being taken hostage being jammed into Israeli jeeps that have been stolen so it was bad enough but now killing 40 children 40 infants is unforgivable and unforgettable and no no country no civilization no society in the world can support that it must be globally condemned by everyone is it every time you think that they have gone to the edge of brutality and they go further and this is really history in the making that they would do this this is beyond ISIS ISIS was really shocking when they would behead people adults at random in orange suits it was just gross and it shook us all up but this is worse much much much worse so the Israelis now will show no corner and they shouldn't they shouldn't they should exactly they should not because see this is not for a cause or a aim this is losing humanity when you go to children you know women also you can accept to a point but children today beheading of babies was the final straw I think they should get a complete vengeance into this because Jay it's not just the legitimate interests of the Palestine people like Iran called it that is the Hamas attack was autonomous and just completely aligned for the legitimate interests of the Palestine people is this legitimate enough to kill babies and to take hostages and to rape rape women march women naked in the street that's really beyond you know let's war crimes beyond war crimes so undoubtedly this will contribute to Islamophobia I mean they they say that you know you call it a religion of peace and everything jihad is violent Islam has a violent streak in it and till when are you going to play the psychiatric game and say no no it is it is mild and everything no it is brutal it is it is does not have empathy and Islam has always spread with the sword it has never had mercy so you know you have to accept the fact that Islamophobia is going to be real now you cannot disguise a religion on the basis of make believe things when they in reality are creating such a ruckus that we don't we don't know what is humanity right now we have come to the question of are you human enough you know even israeli forces have called them animals that's the reason why electricity food water has been cut it is not it is not because of cornering them or anything it is because of the brutality that they have infected that they need to be dealt with brutality you cannot call the israeli forces harsh they are dealing with animals human animals in their courts so they have bought it down to this everybody was peacefully coexisted this thing till october 6 they did not need to do this and they did not need to elevate it to another level and another level shows you what their leadership is like and it shows you their leadership is solidly entrenched and doing what it has decided to do you know a day or two ago we saw a video of people who were in Gaza who were injured and taken to hospital because of Israeli bombings apparently they didn't get the word that the Israelis were going to bomb they stayed at home this happened before in the last Gaza war they stayed at home because Hamas told them to stay at home despite the fact that we're going to get on and then they wind up being killed and injured and we have all these these video shots of these people you know on stretchers and hospitals and all that it's very hard to feel sympathy for those videos and those people now if they think that anyone is going to care about the people who are being wounded in Hamas in you know in in Hamas they're not they're not going to find any sympathy anywhere so let's let's talk about Iran because that was you know the issue on which we posited this show and we're going to talk about Iran as a as a as a factor and at first there was a we don't know kind of response if Iran is involved and I don't know if there's more hard evidence about that but there's certainly deductive evidence so logistic evidence that demonstrates that Iran must be involved you want to talk about that so when this attack happened Tehran put his hands up and said we are not involved in it and that Iran Iran mission to the United Nations said that it is a fiercely autonomous and unwaveringly committed maneuver for the legitimate interests of the Palestine so they give weapons training and financial support to Hamas now Israel estimates this support of Iran to be to the tune of hundred million dollars a year now that is huge money and we have spoken in our previous programs how we talked about the drone now Shaheen is a drone which Iran has developed and selling it by the bulk to Russia that is where they're getting their funding from big time so they have got something to sell and purchase everything and Jay Hamas is very well supported by Iran Hamas is a Sunni militant organizer now Iran is a Shia country Iran and Hamas did not see eye to eye now the Sunni Shia divide in Islam is a big thing because when Assad President Assad Aspar Assad Bashar al-Assad of Syria came into power against his Sunni counterparts Hamas did not side with Iran they had a conflict of interest you know the Shia Sunni divide has created havoc within Iraq Yemen so Shia Sunni don't see eye to eye but overturning these considerations Iran still supports Hamas why they have an enmity with Israel their president Ahmadinejad had said that we want to wipe Israel off the map I mean you have such a direct confrontational attitude towards the country how they refuse to recognize Israel as a state I mean that is the aggressive so you have them not coming face to face they know they cannot face Israel because of Shia power so they will train these terrorist units Hamas within Israel and Hisbulla in Lebanon now Hisbulla is a Shia outfit Shia militant outfit that is that is the one which on the second day itself started firing missiles into Israel now Israel imagine on the first thing you are sorting out things on your home ground and you have Lebanon Hisbulla backed by Iran throwing out missiles towards you so you have a country to face on your side I mean Israel is facing a difficult task with Hisbulla and Hamas these two are Shia militant organizations and they have representation on the governments they have representation on platforms like the United Nations they have they come on conferences what are you trying to present these are legitimate causes served with violent means to grab these causes so it is I mean the logistical support that Iran gives to these people is not overt but it is definitely not covert you can easily say this is Iran who is involved in this kind of funding and the param param gliders who came in Israel today I mean that was a sight we had never seen before it needs somebody to operate beyond the lines over there and Jay when we see the USS aircraft carrier Gerald Ford come into the seas it is not for Hamas it is to deter Hisbulla Lebanon and Iran if you come in we will we are here so you know US knows how to deal with Iran and US knows how to keep Iran within its limits and Jay Iran is religiously dictated society and for them this hijab and the Muslim thing is happening domestically so they need this kind of jingoism that we are supporting the Palestine cause and we are doing this to keep the nationalistic sentiments or Islamic sentiments of their domestic population and create diversion to the hijab thing and the killings and all that so that is another aspect of Iran how why they support Islam and Jay UAE the United Arab Emirates has who is one of the first Muslim countries to come in support of Israel Saudi Arabia has just come in support of Palestine but Saudi Arabia has signed a deal with Israel for the economic corridor which is a alternative to the belt route of China so and you see Salman of Saudi Arabia is very competitive in seeing that who's the most developing country India or Saudi in the in Asia for the G20 so he is concentrating on economic considerations rather than religious affiliations and he doesn't want to spoil his relations with Israel economic considerations are a notch above religious considerations for these progressive countries right now you know the starving the bankrupt countries came out within hours and said we stand with Palestine okay but the countries who are economically oriented who are thinking of progress rather than you know these religious inclinations have taken days to make their stand clear and they have thought about it very well so Jay you understand that religious considerations are important but not to such an extent that they override humanity and this is where we have to leave Israel to make sure that they protect their citizens and the world unites for the right cause legitimate cause everything is now not making any sense because humanity is lost we need to understand that this is not a war for terror is a war for humanity now yeah well it's it's hard to see it as a war for ideology I mean I think it's a war for hatred and as you said it's a war for you know for a scapegoat you know Iran's government has had some issues and some protests and people are rising up against the the what do you call it religious government there this is a way to change the subject so and boy are they changing the subject so the other the other logic parts that strike me is that both Iran and Hamas have a fundamental point of view that Israel must be destroyed and every last Jew must be killed and driven into the ocean and that's that's that's the common denominator so it's a they're good natural friends now um so that they override the Islamic Sunni Shia are like enemies but they forget that conveniently just to be against Israel so that is so dangerous yeah so then is this these logic points about what is it five thousand missiles and still going the missiles are still going incredible um and where exactly would a very poor community like Gaza which has been isolated which has been blockaded from the sea anyway and to a large extent from the land how how could they get their hands on five thousand missiles do they have the money for that you know some countries have been giving the money just money so maybe they could actually buy things like that but more likely Iran you know who has the technology for missiles gave them the missiles five thousand missiles where else would it come from Brooklyn um you know it had to come from Iran and I think we can all conclude on a logical basis it came from Iran and then you have those those flying you know flying machines that probably came from Iran it just makes all the sense in the world they had to be funded uh also and there has to be as you said hundred million dollars a year maybe a special boost this year coming from Iran so I think Iran is largely responsible here and ultimately history will show that they were responsible for the planning the organization the leadership of this attack um although I think they will deny it because it's not good for them to be associated with killing um infants um it's not good for them in the eyes of the world they're pariah enough already this will this will make them further pariah I don't know how you can be more of a pariah um but this this will this will make them even more of a pariah um so you know we thought okay everybody back less what is it Friday or so we uh or Saturday we we thought that things had changed in the world that history had taken a a sharp turn and certainly for Israel um it has taken a sharp turn um politically and um you know in the eyes of the world in the eyes of the US even though Joe Biden you know um you know uh it keeps on saying that he will support Israel it's a different Israel now it's different Israel and and Israel sees a different future for itself um you know for years and years Israel thought that it could it was resisting all of these hostile neighbors and somehow it couldn't survive but now that's not entirely clear when you have a a two front war and then Palestinians on the west bank that it's more to come so um it's living in a world of hostility and frankly hatred it's much more hatred than it is religion um so I think we've had it we've had an inflection point in history in the Middle East and it's going to be very hard to put things back together again very hard to reorganize the relationships the geopolitical and diplomatic relationships that Israel has forged with various countries that progress is really in question right now including with Saudi Arabia I guess um um there's there's connections between what happened here and Mr Putin uh with uh Ukraine with Russia's attack on Ukraine I mean we're talking about the um the liberal world order at great risk at great risk where one party can attack and attempt to destroy its neighbor that's what we're talking about and somehow I feel there's a connection between Russia's attack on Ukraine and Iran's attack uh Hamas attack on Israel what do you think yeah Jay war can never be distinguished as a good war and a bad war a just war an unjust war it is war is war because it inflicts a loss of humanity and loss of human lives which cannot be reclaimed again ever I mean it's it's finality that is involved in it and Jay when we see these countries which are on the receiving end of a war war we see that uh tolerance has to take a backseat and aggressiveness does does not is kind of justified because these countries are now defending they're just right they're just trying to claim or you know they're just trying to defend themselves now there is not one person in the world who can stand up and say that Israel is in the wrong right now because it has just done defending in this case everything was smooth until October 6th we did not know anything was going to happen now you tell me how can you say that this is wrong or they have done wrong because they have just reacted and every action has an equal and opposite reaction we know that so it's I think it should be amplified reaction that they give because lesson taught once and for all because this would be a repetitive it's become a habit Jay it's become a habit to get back to involve in conflict and get back to normalcy involve in conflict again get back to normalcy give a few conferences give a few speeches pass a few resolutions again come back to the same point but there is no there has to be a permanent solution this time isn't it Jay well you say there has to be but that doesn't mean there will be let me let me ask you about Putin Putin you know he benefits by all this why he he distracts the world's attention from Ukraine it's not on the headlines and Joe Biden and the American government such as it is is looking at and focused on the Israel attack rather than Ukraine and there'll be issues about money and weapons going to Israel instead of Ukraine so this obvious that all of this distraction helps Putin so much so that you really wonder whether Putin was involved in the cabal with Iran what do you think or the conspiracy theories are so far fetched there's even one that China funded because they were alternated with the Belt Road we had the economic corridor with Israel and Saudi coming together it was a shocker for the world so China has also funded this it is there but put in being put in is busy in his war Iran is the one who is the rogue nation as Obama had pointed out in his list of rogue nations they want to hire largest state in Middle East politics and they always lose out that whole position to Saudi Arabia that hurts them Jay so how do you get into the thick of things in geopolitics is this way rogue Iran has done that they have funded Hamas and Hezbollah just to trouble Israel now Hamas and Hezbollah are just targeting their energies to Israel they don't target themselves anywhere else so the first thing that the Israeli forces did was to bomb the Gaza National Bank so that the funding stops first and foremost internet cut water cut I mean these were things which had to be taken care of to remove the outside influence once the outside influence was removed they could tackle these otherwise with continuous funding and continuous directions they had a very hard time dealing with these rogues well I tell you the truth I personally I expected that they would do a siege it's the logical thing to do and granted that it really is painful to put your you know put the hostages at risk which which a siege does do but I think Israel is looking to you know find and destroy the Hamas leadership and in order to do that they have got to do a siege a land siege they did it today the tankers were on on ground today did the Israeli troops go into Hamas yes yes they are going they are going in land siege siege by air siege by by by water completely isolate you know the the Hamas community there and then what though what happens then and if somebody comes out with a white flag and says stop because before you thought well if Israel did this then you know Gaza would turn the hostages back but that's a different that's a different formulation right now you can't believe them about turning the hostages back God knows how many other hostages they killed or abused and so Israel I'm not sure Israel would be you know sympathetic to a white flag I think they're going to be they're going to satisfy themselves that Hamas has been destroyed and cannot they're not going to trust now it's not possible to trust now what about Israel so we saw that Netanyahu did damage to the democratic process in Israel and people argue that she was he's kind of responsible because he he made Israel vulnerable to an attack like this because all people you know protesting in the street and the government was you know fighting with itself it's just like in the US by the way there's a real parallel there and so Israel is going to change first thing that happens is Netanyahu galvanizes the various factions and now he forms a new coalition I don't know if it's formed yet but but you know this gives him political additional political influence and so you know that Israel will change the protests in the street will change the parties who might have argued with each other a couple weeks ago will change you have a you have a sense of what the new Israel will look like Netanyahu has mobilized and garnered coalition support for his cause but the rightist the nationalist leaders are what Israel needs right now I mean however however hard or tough it may sound taking a tough stance against this immediately he came out and said Israel is at war it's not a it's not a movement it's not you know it's not a small thing it's a war if you declare that and to mobilize troops he's called back all the troops from all over the world the Israeli forces and Jay having a strongly I mean I may not agree with Netanyahu on so many policies but when it comes to defending his country I think he's the right man for the job right now because the kind of action that he takes or I mean if they would have been a new leader without this much experience in his place right now maybe we would have had a very cushioned attack or you know they would have been a little bit of trembling but this person is a hard liner he knows how to defend Israel I mean criticize me if you want but I feel a nationalist leader is always an asset to a country and I speak that in for Israel because you see Jay having love for the country means you have hate for the people who hurt the country it is as simple as that if you're sympathetic to them if you give them your hand they will catch your neck and they will strangle it like we are seeing for all these hostages what is happening if they had a sense of right they would have kept the hostages in human conditions and negotiate but they are not human well another funny thing is there are some countries in the world that are not humane the autocratic countries the countries that engage in this sort of thing themselves not to this extent but who engage in brutality themselves they're not going to be sympathetic to Israel they're more likely to be sympathetic to the Palestinians and Hamas so let's take China for one moment we don't have a whole lot of time left but let me let me ask you when Chuck Schumer was in China talking to one of the foreign policy people there he was trying to get he was trying to extract the commitment that they would support Israel and they didn't they didn't provide it so China is on the fence on this issue just the way it's on the fence on Ukraine and I suggest it may stay on the fence which is not a moral answer it's not even an answer that recognizes the you know the slaughter of children um but that's that's China uh self-interested do you think that that China will make an exception to that you know general approach because of the children because of this gross attack or will China stay on the fence China will sit on the fence in a zen mode as always they will they will maybe be uh you know in in between the conflict but they will pretend to have a zen mode so that is the kind of uh Chinese stance we have never heard China take a stand on any of the issues that we have seen yet but J Israel is in such a unique position because I'll tell you the hatred that the countries have for Israel if there's a conflict in Israel you have countries which come in group up gang up and want to defeat Israel Israel has been defeating minimum of six countries every every time it goes into conflict you have Lebanon come in you have Jordan join in the party you have Iran always there you have every Yemen you know this is Palestine itself countries who come into hurt Israel and Israel has friends all over the world who say we stand with Israel but how many countries jump into the war now the jumping in of these countries against Israel is only because of religious affirmations this is my brother of my religion so I will come into defend him but Israel is fighting alone six countries I mean you have to give it a thought that this is uh personal vendetta uh gang gang uh war against one country how many times does it have to face the same situation again and again against minimum of six countries for the same issue of being in their own homeland and you know Islam was came at a later date and their way of propagating the religion was to destroy the previous place of worship and build their place of worship it's happened in India in the temples they used to destroy the temples and build their mosque and say this is the island it might have been the birthplace of our main gods Krishna Ram but they don't have any point and then we will have a conflict for decades and uh eons that this is my land and this is not your land so the same thing is with Israel that was the promised land as before that doesn't mean you came at a later date if you want to stay in alignment with each other yes but if you want to remove us from that that doesn't happen much so they both the Jews and the Islam people have a legitimate cause stay in harmony but if you're thinking of hurting and destroying you will get an answer and then you think that that answer is wrong so there you have a problem when you point fingers at Israel that is Israel's right to self-defense period on that I hear saying these things and I remember the last war with Gaza between Israel and Gaza Hamas started it from Gaza they attacked out of you know across the border into Israel same thing with those settlements in the southern part of Israel unprovoked attack and so this you know it's a pattern and I also remember that Israel you know used to control Gaza but they gave it up to Hamas gave it up to the Gazans and then Hamas took over Gaza and now you have a a terror organization running a running Gaza it's very tragic and what do you do with those people what do you do with the border what do you do for Israel's defense all these questions well anyway we'll come back and discuss it more group money because it's a moving target literally and maybe in a week or two we can catch up on the events that have taken place because we're we're in a changing world right now and it's very troubling thank you so much root money kandikar our global reporter here on our global connections on think tank thank you so much thank you very much aloha aloha


Ooh, dominion voting machines. They are sneaky little things that sway elections towards Democrats and Fox News was in on it and they were constantly hyping this idea that dominion voting machines were responsible for Trump's loss and they were all rigged in this corruption, it's insane. Well, if you remember, dominion sued over this. They sued in, let me just find this, sorry, yeah, they sued in I think it was March of 2021. They sued Fox basically for defamation, right? Let me just see here, yeah, they sued them for, you know, for the fact that they defamed the company with these fabricated lies and they sued them for 1.6 billion dollars, billion dollars, right? So it's going to go to court and we're going to see everything and it's all going to be revealed and the interesting thing is that dominion in order to prove defamation actually has to show that the company knew that what they were doing was false. They actually have to show that this was intentional, that there was not a mistake, it wasn't bad reporting, that they knew that the dominion machines had nothing to do with fraud, that there was no fraud actually committed and, you know, in order to win the case, 1.6 billion dollars. And anyway, yesterday dominion filed this motion for summary judgment, which is to help with the trial, look at all the evidence, there's no point in a trial, we win. And the company laid out in granular detail its case, as they say it to quote, literally dozens of people with editorial responsibility from the top of Fox organization to the producers of specific shows that host themselves acted with actual malice, acted with actual malice. And you know, they provide emails, what do you call it, text messages, for example, John Hannity and Tucker Carlson tried to get Fox News reporter Jackie Henrik fired for fact checking a Trump tweet about dominion and noting that there was no evidence of voting being destroyed, right? And here's the text that Tucker Carlson said to Laura Ingram, please get it fired, seriously, what the fuck, Carlson texted Ingram and Hannity on November 12, 2020. It's measurably hurting the company, the stock price is down, not a joke. Now, this would be fine if Tucker Carlson actually thought that the dominion machines were actually fraudulent, right? That there was actually fraud that had been committed or that Tucker Carlson or any of these guys thought this, but this is indeed clearly not the case, right? For example, Tucker Carlson writes this producer, Alex Pfeiffer, about Sidney Powell, one of Trump's campaign lawyers, Powell is lying, this is November 16th, host Laura Ingram to Carlson and fellow host Sean Hannity, quote, Sidney Powell is a bit nuts, sorry, but she is November 15th. Carlson to Ingram, Sidney Powell is lying, by the way, I caught her, it's insane, Ingram replied, Sidney is a complete nut, no one will walk with her, did her for Rudy, that's Rudy Giuliani. Carlson replied, it's unbelievably offensive to me, our viewers are good people and they believe it. Fox Copa chairman Rudolph Murdoch, quote, really crazy stuff with regard to the whole conspiracy around the elections, that was on the 19th of November, Murdoch after watching Giuliani and Powell on November 19, 2020, quote, terrible stuff damaging everyone, I fear. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott replied, yeah, she had indeed even Jeanine Pirro agrees. Fox reporter Lucas Thomason to Anchor Brett Bair, it's dangerous, insane, these conspiracy theories. Fox political editor Chris Steywald on whatever the allegations that Dominion rigged the election was true, quote, no reasonable person would have thought that. This is all from Fox Tweets and Fox Emails, this is not anybody's not making this up. Fox CEO, Fox News CEO, Suzanne Scott responded, quote, yes, I believe that, that no reasonable person would have thought that to the question. You believe, since at least the time that Fox News called the election on November 7th, that Joe Biden was legitimately elected the president of the United States, correct? And CEO of Fox News says, yes, I believe that, Carlson texted a redacted name, quote, that it was shockingly reckless to claim the Dominion rigged the election. If there's one, if there's no one inside the company willing to talk, or internal Dominion documents or copies of the software showing that they did it, and as you know, there isn't. Fox's internal fact checks about Dominion allegations reported they were incorrect and, quote, not evidence of widespread fraud. Anyway, you can find these articles, they were published this morning coming out of the data dump, data dump that occurred, all this happened in the November, yeah, all of this is November, November 18th, November 20th. Some of it then in early December, December 12th. You know, this is Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Simmons to Fox political editor to Chris Starwood on the network's coverage of quote, supposed election fraud. He writes, it's remarkable how weak ratings make good journalists do bad things. That was in December 2nd.  I mean, there's long lists of this. I mean, I don't know what Dominion, what Fox could do for Dominion not to win the case. They would have to lose it on some kind of technicality related to the issues. But there's absolutely no question that senior people at Fox News, including people like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingram all knew that there was no fraud committed during the 2020 election, and certainly no fraud committed by the so-called Dominion machines. They knew that in spite of that they continued reporting on it. They continued giving Powell airtime. They continue giving Giuliani airtime without questioning their accounts of what was going on. They perpetuated a conspiracy theory in spite of Tucker Carlson saying that people who believe this are good people kind of his audience, they perpetuated a lie to that audience. This is this is horrific behavior. I hope they lose. I hope they have to pay 1.6 billion or more punitive damages would be. I don't think there are punitive damage in this kind of case. But it's just horrific because these conspiracy theories are stuck. They're not part of the Republican base's set of beliefs. I don't think anything that is published will change anybody's mind. But these were lies from the beginning. They were constructed by certain people within the Trump campaign or administration, Powell and Giuliani and others. And they were then spread out by right-wing media, in particular Fox, but also all the other alt-right media that still continues to report these other falsehoods. And that people still believe them, and that people still, I don't know, share this stuff and repeat it and advocate for it is just mind-boggling and it shows the mentality of conspiracy theories. It doesn't matter how much evidence you show. It doesn't matter how much facts show that they're wrong. Facts are not the issue. They never work. Conspiracy theories are never based on facts. It's all about emotion. It's all about belief. Ultimately, it's all about faith and to see people who typically are semi-rational by anti-conspiracy theories and embrace them completely mind-boggling in one of the areas where you're really seeing this, I think, is with the COVID vaccines right now.

So you don't understand polyloops and polygroup, not a problem. This is the exact same thing as polyloop with a polygroup constraint. So it's going to apply your action to a polyloop, but only to faces that are the same color as the one you clicked. So you can see here we have a cube, it's got two red faces and two green faces. So if we left click on red, it's going to extrude a loop, but the loop stops when there's no more red faces. Same thing if we go to the green side, if we left click it's going to extrude a loop, but only as long as there are green faces. So, hope that helps and as always I hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


tations Which is replacing four that were damaged and then also kind of putting one more in our back pocket in case it happens again And turning them around I think they're pulling batteries now I believe sergeant Evans told me that they found by pulling batteries before the There's batteries inside the pay stations and that's what's getting wet when the storms come in and cause them the damage Pull everything out Or we could turn them around and then they wouldn't get hit dramatically, but um, that's just a thought uh The lights that we just talked about On our previous item. Do we need to include that here? budget-wise for what we have left in the budget and what the The bill does. Yeah I don't know what the lights cost, but we'll Okay, um, and then generally we kind of get the the um in our report Our original goals and then we always kind of have like the if we have money During mid-year we could add things on in terms of our goals and that wasn't in today's packet Or not today's but in our in our council packet Um, and I don't have those all in my brain. I'm just wondering if we have those available So, you know, when we do our priorities every year We have like this is how much money we have and then there's like some extra projects that council would like to initiate but We usually talk about those during this time mid-year budget Um, do you have that slide? Do we split that up a couple years ago? If you remember we used to do the mid-year and the goal setting kind of as one hearing and we broke it up starting three It was a couple years ago into two separate hearings So we did a mid-year and then we're doing the goal setting where we can look at All the projects from last year you guys are going to talk about your goals for next year. That's coming up on Yeah, she I think she's she's not asking about the goal setting for next year typically We do have I know what you're talking about that we've changed goal setting as a separate thing But we've always in mid-year Said this is where we're at and then that gave us an opportunity for like, you know In the last six months if I called you and said hey, can we do this and can we do that? It was usually like yeah at mid-year. We'll talk about that Yeah, well just from my and you can jump in if you want from the fact that our community centers so far underfunded And the unknowns that were going into the work about I was I thought I was going to be sitting up here saying that we're below our $500,000 target And we're at 430. So that's 70,000 Now 1.1.6 includes 500,000 of reserves, right? Yeah, so we can't touch like an operating budget Okay, so I'm hearing you say you didn't bring that forward because we have no money to spend Would it be possible at the next budget hearing can you show the um Timeline again of the next budget of the budget And I only ask because it is between when we modify our budget when we create our budget And the next time we create a budget we have people call us all year that are like Can you work on this? Can you work on that? And so I'm thinking jamie that I had called you a couple months ago about hard escaping in the medians and that there was questions about Why some of our medians aren't looking so good and I I thought that this was the time to say hey Any chance we can throw 50 grand at some hard escaping and some medians or however much it may cost So even if that's not tonight, would it be possible on what? March 6th. Yeah, sure. What would be oh, so that is our goal We'll be reviewing the goals that For next year haven't finished yet. Yeah still carrying forward and then start talking about next year So I'm okay with with that being talking about next year's goals But will we at that meeting have the opportunity to look at our current fund balance and say can we pull some money here and there for projects Before next year's budget We can do that. Okay. I mean, I think at the end of the day getting through as jim said getting through Warf and understanding that picture because as of 24 hours ago, we were looking at like As jim said dropping low 100. Yeah 100%. Yeah. No, I understand we're we're very low We're not gonna have a lot of pet projects that we're gonna be able to fund but I do want to keep The opportunity for us to look at where we're at and see if there's any Places that we can move things around or address things that cost less than we thought or you know, whatever the case may be Okay More questions. Okay, uh any public comment on this item Seeing none.  Uh, and that was just receiving. Oh, uh, can we adopt a resolution amending the fiscal year 23 24 budget. Do we have a motion? I moved to make a motion I will second We have a motion in a second all in favor say aye. Hi any opposed any abstentions motion passes unanimously Move on to our final item 8f the 2023 24 cdbg grant application Authorizing staff to prepare and submit an application under the 23 24 community development block grant program for the jade street community center Good evening, mayor and council. Um tonight before you is Part of our cdbg grant application process is to make sure we have a public hearing I'm going to keep my presentation short Knowing that there's no public here. So cdbg is um a way in which the federal government funnels money down to local governance And we have an opportunity to apply for a grant Next friday And this is fulfilling our requirement of a public hearing. We did this earlier in anticipation of this happening Late last year it didn't happen. So we're actually going through this exercise one more time just to give the public an opportunity to To come forth with comments The project is for 3.3 million dollars to fund our community center at jade street and um With that i'd like to suggest that That you open up public hearing tonight receive public comment on the grant Application and then we'll move forward with an application next friday So, thank you that concludes my presentation. Thank you Uh questions No questions. No, all right. We will open up the public hearing on this item Seeing no one in the room Aside from staff, of course um We'll bring it back to council I'm sorry. I actually do have a question. Sorry I'm not sorry. Um Do you need any other letters of support from agencies or To make our applications shine through in order to get the funding. So we're um, this First round is very unique. There's 19 million dollars available and it will be awarded on a first come first serve basis. So I am training with paul ashby on how to Press the buttons really fast and get our application in but it's really uh first come first serve It's 19 million dollars. We're asking for 3 million The likelihood is very low CDBG there's going to be another round in they say in the fall Of 2024 where if we don't get this award this round, we'll um Then apply and it'll be a the typical process where A letter would help but in this circumstance. I don't think it's necessary and we're requesting more than we need No, we could utilize all of these funds. This would um Fund the whole interior remodel of the building I know I said I had no questions, but I wonder if it's worth Putting a flat number like five million in and they say you get three out of it or something like that 3.3 is the the Um, the most you can apply for oh, so we're maxing it out. Okay Is there anything we can do to make our grant more competitive than it already is there's no competition other Oh, it's literally first time first serve like put it in and they will give you money Wow. Yeah You have to be one of the first probably seven applicants and multi departments submit like could you I I believe I'm gonna have a login as capitol and Yeah, we need a bot All right. Thank you. Okay. Thanks. Uh, all right. I'll bring it back to council for a vote I'll go ahead and adopt the resolution authorizing staff to prepare and submit an application under the 23 24 community development block grant for the jade street community center All second We have a motion and a second all in favor say aye. Hi. Hi any opposed any abstentions motion passes unanimously Thank you With that we are ending tonight's meeting. We are adjourning to a special city council meeting Uh march 6th next no not next week, but march 6th Uh at four o'clock Take note different time Different date different time same place special meeting Tuesday march no, no, that's a wednesday This says adjourn to a special meeting on march 6th Okay, we're adjourning this one anyways. Good night


So, I think this is a very important point that you've just made in that we do have a very unique position now in history where we have the capability to do some of the things I think that we've all been thinking of, which is to create, I guess what I'd call a health revolution. We certainly need one here in the United States. And I'm just… you talked earlier about a culture of health and I'm just wondering what you think might be ways that we in the United States can take advantage of some of the wisdom of traditional Indian culture to help create a health revolution here. I think one fundamental thing that we have to fix about this wisdom business is, wherever I go, people say ancient wisdom, no, wisdom has to be contemporary. Ancient wisdom will not work. There are some aspects of wisdom which are timeless, any time they're relevant. But many things which were very relevant a thousand years ago are not relevant today. There are certain fundamentals which are always relevant. So let's look at only that. For that, the first and foremost thing, because you're talking essentially about health, a little bit of… we have to produce a user's manual for this most sophisticated gadget that we have, a user's manual. What is the nature, how does it function, when I… when I talk about this, see if you as much turn your hands around, the way you breathe will change. Most human beings have not noticed it. If you simply turn it around, the way you're breathing will alter itself. So this is because it is like you've been given a super sophisticated computer, but you are in still caveman's mindset. You want to beat it into action somehow. So this is the essential problem. The reason why, let's say taking United States as an example, this is not going to be the problem of only United States. United States has come first in the race. Okay? Others will get it because they're all going the same way. Right now US is a stock example. One thing is we go on raising the bar for survival. We must define, this is survival. This means you're good enough. After this, it must be exploration of what you really wish to do. But we keep on raising the bar of survival in such a way, now even after becoming the most effluent nation, a whole lot of people are just struggling for survival. This is senseless. And effluence, effluence means your survival is done thing, isn't it? But like you just mentioned, they're working three jobs to survive. This is not effluence, this is horrible poverty, at least in India we can sit back and enjoy. See, the way we have structured the society right now is people have a thirty-five year house mortgage. I mean, if you have a thirty-five year economic commitment to something, tomorrow even if God popped up here, you can't change the direction of your life because the bank is here. What will you do? Because largely you're all from Christian community, so I'm saying if Jesus popped up tomorrow and he says, come follow me, you're not going… Because no, not busy, you have to… We've got monthly payment time. You've got bills to pay, insurance to pay. You can't change. This is a silly way of organizing our lives. The question… The very reason why we want to become effluent is so that depending upon what life offers us, we can change the direction of our life whenever we want, isn't it? Isn't it very important? This is one thing that has to sink into the American people. Being the most effluent nation means you are not battling for survival. This is happening because you are raising the bar of survival endlessly. No matter what you do, you're still only fighting for survival. If this one thing we change, then we can do lot of things about health and well-being and beyond that.


QuickBooks Online 2024, Budgeted Balance Sheet Export to Excel. Get ready and some coffee because we get things done on time with QuickBooks Online 2024. First, a quick budgeted balance sheet disclaimer. It looks like at this time QuickBooks Online does not have the capacity to run budgeted balance sheet reports. Let's go over a quick history of budgets from QuickBooks to get an idea of the progression over time. I believe that the desktop version of QuickBooks has had the capacity for some time to run budgets for both the profit and loss, otherwise known as the income statement as well as the balance sheet. However, QuickBooks Online has not had the capacity prior to recently to even do the data input for the budgeted balance sheet, only having the capacity for the budgeted income statement, otherwise known as the budgeted profit and loss reports. So recently, we now have this option to be able to do the data input for the budgeted balance sheet, but it doesn't look like we have the related reports that you would think would be generated from that data input, such as the budget overview for the balance sheet and the budget versus actual for the balance sheet. Now I would expect or I would think going forward that hopefully QuickBooks would be able to use that data input to then create those reports, but I don't believe they are there as of the time of this recording. First, a word from our sponsor. Yeah, actually we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers, they don't want to be seen with us.  Like this CPA thinking cap, for example. CPA thinking, CAP, you see what we did with the letters? And this CPA thinking cap is not just for CPAs either. Anyone can and should have at least one possibly multiple CPA thinking caps. Why? Because based on our scientific survey of five people, all of whom directly profit from the sale of these CPA thinking caps, wearing this CPA thinking cap without a doubt, according to the survey, increases accounting productivity tenfold. Yeah, at least. Apparently the hat actually channels like accounting energy from the quantum field ether directly into your head. Allowing you to navigate spreadsheets faster. It's kind of like how in like the matrix when Neo learns kung fu. Or at least that's what the scientific survey is saying. So get one because the scientific survey participants could really use some extra cash. We're in our get great guitars. 2024 QuickBooks Online sample company file. We set up in a prior presentation, opening the major financial statement reports like we do every time. The reports are still on that left hand side. We're in the favorites. We're going to be right-clicking on that balance sheet and open a link in a new tab. Right-click on the profit and loss. Otherwise, no one has the income statement. Open link in a new tab. We'll do the same thing for the trustee TB. We'll tab to the right. We're going to close that hamburger bun on the meat of the balance sheet. And then let's change the range. We're going from 010124 tab, 022924 tab. Selecting the dropdown. We want the months to see them side by side. Let's run the report. Let's tab to the right. Do the same thing. We're closing the hamburger bun on the meat of the income statement. And then we're not quite done with it. We put the hamburger bun on top, but we're still picking out the lettuce and whatnot, even though the hamburgers closed now. We're going to go from 010124 to 022924. And then we'll change this to months again. And then we'll run it. Now we can finally eat the hamburger. We've got the lettuce situated. We're going to go to the tab to the right. And we'll close the hamburger on the meat of the trial balance. Change the range. We're going from 010124 tab, 022924 tab. Once again, selecting the dropdown months and run it. OK, so in the prior section, we've been thinking about the budgets. And the first budget that comes to mind when you're thinking about a basic budget is, of course, the income statement. Otherwise, no one has the profit and loss. That being the performance report. So when I'm thinking it's kind of like running a track and field or something, we're trying to say, you know, how far did we go? Instead of seeing how fast it took us, we're thinking how far did we go within a certain time frame like an hour. And then we're going to try to beat that record next time. That's what the income statement is. How far did we go month by month, year by year? Can we do better next year by possibly making good decisions, hiring good marketers and whatnot that are going to have advertising that doesn't totally alienate everyone that used to buy our stuff and actually might make them like it more? That would be nice. And then that'll increase our revenue. That's the idea. But if we're getting more detailed on the budget, we would want to do a more comprehensive budget to say, well, where will we be after the next month, after the next year? That's the balance sheet. So the balance sheet is the double-entry accounting system. You will recall the balance sheet has assets, liabilities, and equity. That is the double-entry accounting system. Assets are what we have. Liabilities and equity, who has claim to the assets. We can adjust this by thinking of it as assets minus liabilities equals the book value of the business, which is equity, ownership, the owner's claim to the assets of the business. So that's kind of like the bottom line from a finance perspective of the business at any given time, in essence. So the income statement gives us information about time that has passed to get us to the bottom line of the balance sheet, equity, and owner's claim to the assets of the business. So when we're budgeting, the income statement's going to be the primary mover that's going to be basically telling us where we will get to by the end, which will be a new balance sheet perspective of equity, because the income statement is part of the equity. Net income rolls into the income statement. However, the budget's a little bit more complex than that because you also have other things that could happen which we're concerned about, such as, for example, the cash. We want to make sure that we have the cash flow. So if we were doing a full budget process, which we have other course and sections on, we'd probably want a cash flow budget as well, as well as budgets based on purchasing, which might include like inventory purchases and stuff, especially for making things, as well as the budget for the capital expenditures. What kind of fixed assets do we plan to be purchasing, and that those are going to have an impact on our cash flow budget and our revenue budget because we might be purchasing more fixed assets in an attempt to, of course, increase revenue not only in the next year, but in future years and months and so on into the future. So the balance sheet can be a little bit tricky as well because note that the balance sheet, of course, has to be in balance. When we're entering transactions into the balance sheet, I'm trying to, what am I doing? I don't know. I'm trying to just see assets and then I want to see the liabilities and equity. So liabilities and equity. So when I enter things into the balance sheet, usually that, when our normal data input happens with us entering forms, which then QuickBooks forces us to use a double-entry accounting system so that at least two accounts who are affected all the time are ending result being in balance. That may not necessarily be the case when we're entering a budget because when we enter the budget, QuickBooks might not force us to be in balance. So we're going to have to use our own conception of a better understanding in order to properly calculate the balance sheet based on the income statement. So if I'm going to say this is our performance on the income statement, that's going to be part of telling us how we get to the next point, the end result on the balance sheet is the general idea. Okay, so the starting point could be similar on the balance sheet in that I might start with a balance sheet format from the prior period and then basically make adjustments to the balance sheet. So I'm going to start with a balance sheet basically where we are at a certain given time and that's going to be the end of February. Now we have the same kind of thing that I could use this balance sheet but it has a bunch of subtotals in it and whatnot and it might be easier for our budget to exclude all of these subtotals so it might actually be easier to once again use the trial balance because it doesn't have all the subtotals. So if I go to the trial balance over here, I can run this. Let's run it for the totals as my starting point and now I just have my balance sheet on top of my income statement, the balance sheet being the assets which are from cash down to the machinery and equipment. Those are mostly debits and then we have the liabilities and equity being the other side. We have the accounts payable credits of the liability and then we have the liabilities down to the equity here. Here's where equity starts and this is where it gets a little bit messy in that the income statement is part of equity. So there's a couple different, I don't really want the income statement, I would like to remove the income statement and have it just roll into owner's equity but I could just squish all these numbers into one number as owner's equity. I could do this a couple different ways like I could start for example by just taking this up a year to 010125, 010125 and run it. So then now everything's been squished into equity, same numbers but what if I had transactions in January of 2025? So let me just do it this way. I'm going to say 010124 to 022924 and so there's our two months. I'm going to export this and then I'll just delete the income statement and roll the income statement into equity. I'll show you how to do that. It sounds complicated but it's not difficult. So let's go ahead and check it out. So I'm going to say export this to Excel. Now I've already done the income statement in Excel over here so we already have a worksheet open. So if you don't have a worksheet then you don't have to use that one but I'm going to so I'm going to enable the editing and I would like to move this over to the other worksheet where we already have the income statement budget stuff. So I'm going to right click on the trial balance here and I'm going to say copy or move and then I'd like to put it over in another in my other workbook which is the budget workbook and then I'll just say move it there poor five or please if you would and then I'm going to grab it and drag it to the right. So the first two tabs are income statements so I'll double click on them and I'll just say let's say P and L for short P and L one and then this was the P and L worksheet P and L worksheet or something like that and this one's going to be the balance sheet we'll say one. Okay so now I can just clean it up. I'm going to hold control and scroll up and I'm just going to clean this up to get to get just to all I want is just one line of numbers possibly having not debits and credits but rather assets being positive liabilities and equities being negative or in other words I'll represent the credits with negative numbers so I can put them in one column and prove that I'm in balance not by having two columns that match each other but rather by having to sum up the negatives and the positives debits positive credits negative and it'll map out to zero. That's a little bit easier to see because then I can easily make my adjustments on one column instead of two columns. So let me show you what I mean. There's not really a whole. You could try to do this with an accounting equation format and not use debits and credits but in my opinion this area is where the debits and credits are going to become more useful and so it's a lot easier to do I think although if you don't understand debits and credits you'll still be able to see what I'm doing here pretty clearly I believe. So let's go ahead and do this. I'm going to format the whole worksheet to be the normal format first. So I'm going to go to the home tab and paint brush just a cell over here and then I'm going to paint brush the entire worksheet on the triangle so that's my default formatting. Then I'm going to right click on it and format the cells to what I would like so it's all uniform formatting to start out with. I'm going to go currency, negative numbers bracketed I don't really need, I don't want the dollar sign and I don't need the decimals because it's a budget right. So it's going to be rounded. Okay and then I'm going to make it all bold home tab, font group bold you don't have to make it bold yourself but I think that shows up a little bit better possibly on a screen recording. And then I'm just going to delete all the stuff. So let's just delete from I don't need the header from row one to five I'm selecting actually on the numbers row one to five, right click delete and then I'm going to scroll down and say I don't need the totals down here I'll go ahead and delete that I'll be able to use my balancing concept hopefully to figure out if I messed anything up so I'm going to delete this stuff and then I'm going to go up and say okay now the credits these are the credits what I'd like to do is put them in here but have them be negative so the trick to do that here's a little trick we can use we can pull this I'm going to take this whole column or I could take the whole column this way like here's the column right click copy it I'm going to paste it over here first right click pasting it special but subtract so it's going to subtract nothings in these cells therefore it should just give me negative numbers flipping the sign boom they're all negative then I'm going to copy that and put that back over here right click and paste I want to paste it just like one two three because I don't want any any format formulas notice that these still have these funny formulas even though it's just a number so I'm going to do the same thing over here just to get rid of those equal signs I'm going to select the whole thing right click and copy and then right click and paste one two three and now there's no equal signs it's just what we call a hard coded number I no longer need this cell so it has served its purpose and now it will be deleted so I don't know why that's we're going to take it out because it's served its purpose you're going to delete that okay I'm trying to mess with my sound board apologies for that it's going to be good once I get it so I'm going to pull this over so now I can just drag these into the same column it's easier to use this and then control X which is the same as cutting right click and cut and then hold on a sec control X and control V pasting so I'm just going to do this all the way down control X control V cut and paste control X control V control X control V and control X control V control X and control V boom and then we have it in one column so now if I sum up this column this is the total debits debits and credits should come out to zero equals the sum of those let's go all the way up here up to the top and it adds up to zero so that's my check figure that everything looks good we could do a fancy formatting down here and say as long as this is if it's greater than well let's just I'll leave it like that I won't do fancy formatting right now let's put let's make it a different color just for now so I'll make it green and actually I don't know which color I want let's make it black and white let's make it for now let's make it black and white to see that that's my total column okay so then let's go down now I don't really need anything see this gives me the drop down and in the subcategories so I don't really need those subcategories so that if I go to my worksheet over here you can see the balance sheet has these bank accounts and then the subcategory or where we went on property planting equipment I have a furniture and a fixture as a parent and then a subcategory I just want the accumulated depreciation I don't need the parent here so what I'm going to do is say is just delete all of the ones that have a colon in it just so I have the actual account not including the parent so I'm going to delete that so let's see if there's any more of those here's one so I'm going to delete everything from the colon on before this one is just California is just a super long payable account and then this one let's delete everything here to do and then this one let's do the same and then I could do everything for all these liability accounts payroll liability I might have to combine these into one account actually might be the better way to go and by the way that could be another method that you might you might start with a summary balance sheet but that could cause you problems because when you import it into into QuickBooks it's going to go account by account rather than the summary so I think this is the safer way to go to actually see all of the accounts so that's what we'll do and then everything so now I'm going to go into the income statement so everything from down to here the balance sheet stops right here now here's where we get here's where I'm going to make the adjustment so this whole thing right here if I sum this up should be the equity section because it's the income statement right so boom and so that comes out to 79 270 for total equity or that's what when the income statement is rolled out into it in other words if I look at the balance sheet over here and I pull out a trustee calculator and we said and we just say okay here's the equity section and so here's let's do this for February so here's the whole income statement that's the bottom line of the income statement which was<PHONE_NUMBER>47 so that's going to close out so 77896 plus the 1324 .47 gives us the 79 27047 that should give us the 79220 47 sorry I said it wrong I think and then the income statement here the income statement is just credits minus the debits on the income statement so here's the income statement which is 13 1324 that's what the income was 1324 and then 1324 plus what's in owner's equity gives us this 79220 so I'm just going to delete this whole thing and just put 79220 in there so I'm going to say I'm just going to close out the income statement negative 79220 I can also see down here that's what I need to be in balance and then I can delete the entire income statement I'm just going to go from here the billable and then 31 down to 49 right click and delete so then this still a good formula so now I'm still in balance because my debits equal the credits I just have my balance sheet starting balance sheet so this is my starting point balance sheet so then we can budget out what's going to happen on a monthly basis or we might do the budget like on a quarterly basis right we might not do like a budget after each month because it's kind of tedious to do that maybe we do a budget a budgeted balance sheet where we will be at the end of the quarter or the end of the half a year end of a year but we'll do months we'll start to do months right now so where will we be at the end of each month this isn't a performance thing it's where are we going to end at at the end of each month so I'm going to add a column a row by selecting row one right clicking and insert and then I'm going to make a skinny over here and then I'm going to say Jan and then Feb and then I should be able to select those two put my cursor on the fill handle drag it to the right till we get to December and then I'll make that a header by going home tab font group black white let's center it I'm also going to make a little bit smaller because the only reason it's long is because of this and I don't even need that one I don't even need that one man I should just delete you right here right now this long account let's get rid of that okay so now we have everything kind of on one page so this is where we stand what we're going to imagine to be our starting point we're kind of going to imagine even though this was for January and February we'll imagine this is where we were at at the end of December of the prior year and then we'll make some assumptions to see okay how can we get from there to see what's going to happen and then where will we be at the end of January which in part in large part is the performance of the profit and loss report but again it gets a little bit more complicated than that because of everything else that's going on if you have accounts receivable then how much is in accounts receivable versus you know the cash or the checking account for the revenue that we generated you know there's cash flow issues what if we purchase equipment and so on and so forth so it's actually a bit more complex to give you an idea of the budgeting processes that you could apply but again we have other courses and sections on this this borders into basically getting into like finance and managerial accounting concepts and we have courses on that if you wanted to dive into those topics in more detail


Good morning. Boeing, the airplane builder, has risen to an all-time high after they said that they want to build less 777, but they also said that they want to pay out more dividend and have more buybacks and that has driven the stock to an all-time high. Right now, the Dow Jones industrial average is so overboard as it has only been four other times in the past 100 years. If you look at the relative strength index, it's just shot up into the overbought area with the Trump rally. Friday, we will have a quad-witching day, which is the quarterly-witching day with options and futures contracts expiring. The normal range from the low to the high of the week will be 2.98% or have been 2.98% on average for the S&P 500 in the past decade. So, price for more volatility, the Federal Reserve will meet today and it will be very interesting to hear the opinion of Fed Chair Yellen in her press conference, which will be 30 minutes after the Fed announcement this evening. It will be very interesting to hear what she will have to say about inflation spiking over the Fed targets. Will she tolerate it or will she do something against it? Everybody in the market expects that she will hike rates by 25 basis points, so why not do a 50 basis point hike? That's a big topic. Everybody or at least most of the traders are somewhat ignoring that there will be a Fed meeting where the Fed is hiking rates this evening. Everybody's really talking about that. Everybody's talking about the rally. Everybody's talking about stocks that go up. Everybody's talking about Trump and the forecast on his economic policies. So that is dangerous because as I said in the past it has just spiked some meaningful volatility. The AD line, that's the advanced decline line in the S&P 500 is showing a divergence. The S&P 500 for standard equities in the United States, so that's the broad market, broad Wall Street, has made higher highs. It's gone to all time highs as we know, but the number of stocks and equities actually participating from that advance are going down. So that is a divergence. That's a bearish signal from technical analysis standpoint. Gallup on that is from the real economy. Some numbers has seldom seen such a spike in economic confidence where are at a nine year high in economic confidence in the United States. So yes, it might very well be that Trump has changed the behavior of consumers and has changed the behaviors, especially of companies. The missing piece of the puzzle that central banks are trying or have tried to stimulate in the past decade or so was investments from companies, corporate investments. And if Trump really, at least for the United States, has achieved with a change in sentiment that corporations invest again, that would be a big, big win for the US economy and could also stimulate world growth.


Hey Virgo, welcome back, welcome back. This is Kelly from House of Virgo. You guys, how's everybody doing? All right, let's get into your reading. Just remember, as I always say, some of the messages may or may not resonate, take with fits. I'll try to force it. All right, let's get into this. See what these messages are going forward from the time you're listening to this reading going into August. Okay, love messages for Virgo. And if you are a member of my channel, or if you haven't become a member yet, please consider joining. One of the perks you will receive is you will get early access to my readings here on YouTube before they go live to the public. And also, you can join my Facebook group. It's a private group where you can connect with everybody. All right, let's see. Okay, healthy choices, lovely. Making healthy choices in love and in life, self care, self love, being happier. Good. Well, that's a good way to start. Good way to start for you, Virgo. Okay, you got the hammer. Rebuilding, being persistent, working on healthy lifestyle, working on self love, self care, making a decision every day to be happy, no matter how hard it is. It's really hard. I know for some of you to be present and mindful in the moment when the moment feels awful. So it's really up to you to try to find something in your day or in your present moment that you can be grateful for no matter what it is. And that will really help lift you just a bit, just a matter of practicing gratitude. Rather than I'm hearing looking at the negatives, rather focusing on what you don't have, focus on what you do have and what you can work with. Okay, so you're rebuilding something here. Heart with a key, welcoming love, meeting the one, opening your heart, getting together and perfect. Okay, so you're definitely rebuilding your heart, rebuilding, meeting yourself. That's what I feel like this is. The one, meeting the one. Who is the one? The one is you. Who is the one? The one is you, Virgo. Okay, getting together with self, seeing yourself as a perfect, lovely, wonderful human being. Okay, and taking that hammer and, you know, nailing that to the wall, like, I am amazing. I am awesome. I am good. I am wonderful, because that's true about yourself. And this is just a term.  So that key, heart with a key, that's an energy of like, you have the key to unlock your heart, opening up your own heart. This feels like a very healthy healing reading for you, Virgo. So if you're going through something very difficult, this is a time to get together with self and shut off those outside, the outside interference from people, places and things that give you messages that you are not worthy or you are not good enough. Because that, those are lies. Those are lies. Okay, let's take a look and see what. Okay, past position, death. So something ended in the past. Okay. Transform, transitioned, changed. This is a Scorpio card. So some of you might have had a connection with this, someone with Scorpio in their chart somewhere. An ending could have been sudden or unexpected upheaval. And there was a release. And for some of you, it might have been a spiritual transformation or change. Okay, so that's the past energy presently. Okay, here you are. There you are. That's the Virgo card. The Eight of Pentacles is building. And this is what we're talking about here, starting the process of building, creating, using that hammer. Like I said, because you have the hammer for some of you, this is like you're starting a new job. Oh, I hope this gets clear. Give me a second. My camera just, all right, bear with me. Just listen to the audio. Starting a new job, self employment, building, business, trade, your reputation, rebuilding your reputation, craftsmanship, quality, becoming a master, an expert at something, working hard, committing to self, dedicating to self, concentration, and success. Okay, what is, what is crossing you here, Virgo presently? Okay. Hmm. Well, there's some information. Now this is typically with the Eight of Ones regarded as good news. Okay, but I feel like because you're so focused maybe on what you're doing in your life at this time or what's going on. You may miss this. Okay. Or you may not be ready to receive something here from someone or external to you. It would be good for you, Virgo, to look up from what it is you're doing and take a small little break to maybe do some traveling or get away for a little while, go on a vacation, or it could just be like, take a break, Virgo, get out of the house, go for a hike, go for a walk, do something other than because as long as you're consistent with your building and you keep doing that, that's good. But I feel like there's some news coming in about movement or taking some action. Let me see, something exciting, freedom. For some of you, it could also be somebody coming in here meeting the one. You may not be ready to open your heart to someone. Let me see. Holiday romance possibly. Let's see, something taking off. Okay, let me get a little more clarity. Um, actually, no, I just feel like it would be good for you to just take a break from work or whatever you're creating, you're doing and take some kind of a trip or if there's an opportunity, which I see coming in here, it might be a challenge for you, but you need to do this. Okay. Because that's part of your healing, you know, um, the, the rebuilding process, the growth happens when we're at rest, right? It's kind of like when we're lifting weights, you know, when we're lifting weights, the growth happens after we lift, after we rest, that's where the most, most growth occurs because when we're working, we're, you know, we're getting in there and we're, we're messing about with things. But when we take that break, that's when we begin, that's when things really build during the break time, not during the work time, the work you, the work and the energy that you put into something today shows later. So yeah, there's some news coming in for you. Okay, it's positive, might be an invitation. It's going to come in quick and fast for you to free yourself up. Go do something, do some traveling, maybe connect with someone. Let's see what's driving you at this time. Okay. So you've got the five pinnacles. So yeah, some of you might just be really working for financial reasons, like working extra hard. Maybe you're facing some financial hardship or you're trying to prevent that from happening. You've had a negative change in circumstances or you're feeling, you might be feeling kind of like alone or left out in the cold. Some of you are keeping busy with your work as a form of maybe therapy, it's therapeutic or some social connection.  So some of you, I feel like, or no, I can't take this break. I can't, I have to keep working. I have to keep working and I can't stop. I can't take a break.  Remember, making healthy choices in love and in life, you have to self care as well. Okay, so you're definitely trying to keep yourself from a struggle here. All right, whether this is in love or just, you know, for some of you, it could be just along the lines of you're working very hard because of some sudden, some sudden or unexpected change that happened in the past. You're diving into your work. I feel like people are like, no, no, no, come on, come out with us.  Maybe there was someone passed away in your past, there might be a sense of guilt or an energy of like, you know, you just burying yourself in your work. Because you feel lost. Some of you just feel lost, whether it was an actual someone passed away, or when it was or it was just an ending of a very loving relationship or something fell apart. Yeah, look, you have this, what they're saying, you have the nine of one. So this is like the wounded warrior here, your ongoing battle, your battle weary, drained of energy.  And you have a very strong backbone. I feel like you're learning from some type of past situation and gathering your strength, but you're, you're not quite there yet. We have Sagittarius, Taurus, energy, Scorpio, Virgo.  It's still affecting you. And I think that's just part of some kind of grieving process that you're going through right now.  You're bandaged up your battle, you have battle scars. Okay.  You're just staying very focused on getting in the day today, the day today. Okay. Just make sure you know, I think some of you might be sabotaging yourselves also. So be careful that you don't close up too, too much. Okay. Yeah, needing to open your heart, needing to get together with people, with people who love you or people who are close to you. But I feel like your persistence to just avoid relationships or opening your heart. Maybe you're not avoiding relationships. Some of you could just be like fearful to open your heart again, because these cards are really speaking to me about you feeling like in a poverty mindset and your boundaries are up and you're, you're still healing, you're still wounded. Okay. Let's see what's coming forward in your future here for you. So you have the Four of Swords. So there's rest. Yep, this is it Virgo. Coming up in August, you're going to need to take a time out. Okay. And if you don't do it, it's going to be forced on you. Maybe you have a vacation or something coming out. Solitude, rest, relaxation. That's what I said. If you stay constantly pushing and pushing and pushing, you're going to deplete yourself and you will be forced to rest or you can make the decision. You're going to get some kind of invite. Cupid's arrows, perhaps, or someone rushing in, take a trip with us or me go on a holiday. Let's just take off. Let's just go. Let's depart. Go somewhere. You need to recuperate. You need to regroup. You need sanctuary.  Okay. Very important that you not get into workaholic mode Virgo, where you get to the place where you're like completely detached from any social experiences with other people like joyous. All right. So let's take a look and see what your advice is right now. Parts are falling. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay. You have the lovers and then you have the four cups. All right. Your advice here is don't refuse any offers. Okay. But think about anything that comes in. There's love here. This is connection. This is vulnerability. This is opening up. Okay. The lovers is soulmate kindred spirits, perfect unions, partnerships, relationships, romance, sexual connections, shared values, major love decision. And with that four of cups, it feels like there's apathy. You might feel a little bit depressed about love at this time in your life. Maybe you're bored. Okay. Your advice here, I feel like is when someone comes in and makes, you know, when love walks in here, an offer. Okay. This doesn't have to be well, any kind of love offer. The ace of cups is like a blessing. The ace of cups is like something that comes in and makes you feel enjoyable, happy. It's like a key emotional development or change or plan or something like that comes in as they do. Okay. Don't deny it. Make a decision to connect and lovers could be with a lover could be a romantic, you know, it could even be for some of you like a date just to, I feel like there's a need here to balance out your, your self love and your work and the things you're doing, your healing, your rebuilding also with social connections, you know, even if you don't want to connect with somebody right now or you feel like you would be a kind of a Debbie Downer. Go anyway, have a couple of drinks, just throw your cares to the wind. You don't have to have drinks, whatever, have a meal, do something, throw your cares to the wind and just rest, relax and just focus on letting go. Just focus on letting go. Make a plan. Even if you don't get an invite, make a plan and invite someone to go with you for some R&R. I don't care if it's down the street. I don't care if it's just at the beach or at a resort. Maybe it could just be a spa or a massage, whatever it is, connect, make a decision because that apathy and that feigned disinterest will actually become embedded in your soul where it like the tapes will play over and over. Okay. I don't have hope for love. I don't feel like I feel like whoever I'm with is going to left me because you're kind of you're wounded from something in the past. Don't let that overtake you.  Okay. Let me see what's external to you. Here we go. Okay. So you've got, wow, nine pentacles. Independence, success, financial stability, rewards, thriving, high status. Okay. Let's see. What is this? You could be meeting another, could be connecting with another Virgo or something. It could be a Gemini or a Cancer. Let's see. Someone who's single could be a friend. It could be a love interest. Let me see. Nine of Swords. Oh, that's interesting. And the three of wands. This feels to me like two people here. Okay. You and this person. This person sits here with a lot of unhappiness. I feel like Virgo, I feel like in August, you're going to get an invitation from a friend. This doesn't really feel it could be it doesn't feel romantic, but but it could turn to that later. But this feels like somebody saying, let's go away. Yeah, let's go somewhere in where it's sunny and nice. Good weather. This person is single. Okay, we've got Leo energy here. Aries, this person is coming through. I feel like it's an invitation. I'm stressed. You're stressed Virgo. Let's get together. Let's do something. Let's make some travel plans. You might be traveling going somewhere. It could be a foreign land. Okay, somewhere where the weather is beautiful. There's positive energy, freedom, fun. There's like a refreshing sense, getting some confidence, feeling joyful, vitality, place where you can express yourself and feel happy. There's an openness here. Okay. Okay. Now you might get some communication from someone where they tell you they think they might be pregnant. They're not sure. They're really stressed. Let's go away. Let's just get out of dodge. Let's do something that's let's connect. Yeah, that's what I feel like is happening here. You might be kind of like, Oh, I don't know if I can get away. I'm not sure, but your advice here is to do it because I feel like somebody here is going to keep inviting you. Now, could this be a lover? Let's see. Could this be a lover? Could this be someone? Okay. All right. For some of you, this could be new love. Okay. This is someone who's an admirer. You might get a message from an admirer, you know, and this tower energy for some of you, it's an orgasmic kind of getaway. I laugh like I'm 13. I'm so silly.  All right.  Someone's pursuing you here. Again, Pisces could be Aries or Scorpio. Let's see. Okay. Oh, there's judgment. Yeah, for some of you, this is for some of you, this is a reconnection with someone. And for others, it's just like a renewal. This person, I feel like, you know, if it's not a love connection, if it's just a friend, you could be reconnecting with a friend, you know, who is just kind of like, oh my goodness. So I must have a spirit from like the 80s or something. They just gave me an image of Thelma and Louise. Please don't go on a crime spree. Please don't kill people. Okay, but there's this needing to get away and just go wild and just go crazy, whether this is with a lover or a new love connection or somebody. Yeah, there you go. Six of Swords. This is travel. Getting into calmer waters, healing. This is going to be a very healing thing for you. This is going to kind of, if you feel numb or you feel like unhappy, this is a little bit of a dopamine hit. And it's something that I feel like is just going to, it's something you needed. It's, it's going to give those feel good feelings for two people here. And I just feel like some of you need to escape and run away. And this person definitely, okay, this is a travel card. Let me see what your, your hopes and wishes are here. Your hopes and wishes. Okay, I need a pentacles.  This is Capricorn.  I feel like you fear that you're, that might be all what your life is about. There might be comfort and routine for you, Virgo, but I'm feeling like you need to be spontaneous and just break out of that shell for a minute and go have some R and R with someone, a friend or a lover, okay, or a possible date or someone who admires you. There's a, like a sweet text message of some sort coming in or you get an invite to go somewhere, you know, keep it's arrows can be the crush card, you know, the eight of one. So let me see how things are going to turn out here. Possibly turn out. Okay. Wow. Let's see. Page of swords. I don't know why that's there. Oh, okay. All right. So they're just telling me that I feel like Virgo, I feel like if you deny this, somebody's going to be very persistent with you. If you say, no, I'm not going. I can't go. Somebody's going to be very persistent and to get you to go. Okay. They're going to be persistent to get you to meet, to connect, to get together with them. Okay. Because they want it as much as you do. And I do feel like you'll, you'll be hesitant, right? You'll be hesitant because I feel like you're kind of going to be like, well, you know, you're going to be very practical. Virgo, enough, like you just need to break out of this. Just make the plan and go and just connect with somebody. Okay. Even listen, Virgo, some of you are like, I'm not getting back with my ex, but some of you are going to do it. And some of you are like, I'm not getting back with my ex, but somebody new is, or somebody that I know or I've been talking to is reaching out and and just go, just do it. Throw your cares to the wind. You need to be spontaneous at this time because I worry that you're going to get too into like this routine, too rigid because of something that happened in the past. All right. So I feel like, there you go, ace of cups. So I feel like August is going to be a time. And I know August, it's summer, and I know, well, at least in the north, northern hemisphere. And I know a lot of you, some of you might have kids or you're planning for getting ready for the fall, but August is like the end of the summer. Do something before the summer ends. That's just going to give you that make a memory, spontaneous memory with a person in place or a thing or friend or something. You know, even if it involves you know, I know I'm not even going to say it because some of you are like, well, I don't do that. Well, I'm not telling you to go have a one night stand with someone. I'm, I don't like, I'm not giving you my personal opinion. That's up to you. But I feel like even if it doesn't include that, just having some because you're stressed here, you're too focused on your work and your wounds and work can be therapeutic. But like I said, you need some R and R. There's potential here for a beautiful, like I said, that ace of cups. Remember here it comes in and somebody's going to be persistent with giving their cup to you. Here it is one after the other after the other and your arms are cross. You're kind of like, you know, either you're blocking and defensive or you're just trying to self-sooth because you feel uncomfortable with love or even maybe having a new love start. You want it. But then when it comes, you're like, Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you're or some kind of hurt or something happened in the past, some kind of hurt that happened in the past. All right, let me see. Let's take a look and see. I'll get a couple of messages here and see what other messages. Okay, look at things differently. Sometimes you have to let go of old notions. Even though you may feel stuck, it's just an illusion. Try seeing the situation from a positive perspective. There's a silver lining to everything. A slight change in view can and will make this predicament easier. All right, that's very much hanged man energy. Okay. What else do you have? Okay. Yeah. Hitting rock bottom. So Virgo, I feel like for you, this is something you're going to have to surrender like surrender to the spontaneity and just say what the effort just go do it whatever it is. Okay. Love, trip, travel, new love, start. There you go. Just go do it. Virgo, just break out of the monotonous, rigid routine of your life. I know there might be comfort in that. I know you have to work. I know you have to do.  Go do that thing. And if you get invited somewhere, go. I don't care. Virgo, I don't care. Just go do what you need to do. Make a memory. Let me see what the Chinese sign is here for this person. Are you okay? Year of the dog year of the snake year of the tiger pig dragon horse rat and dragon twice snake twice. Okay, ox. All right. So if that's you, that's specifically a message for you should hit home even more. Or it could be you or it could be the other person. Okay, which if you know who they are, or it could be both of you, right? Let me see what you are. Oh, there you go. Leap of faith. It's safe to make the move you're considering. Okay, that showed up right away. And that's what I was saying. Be spontaneous. Okay, children are important to this partnership. And I feel like this is more about like you getting in a position of embracing your inner child and going to the playground being playful.  You need that refreshing new look, refresh your spirit. Okay, be patient. Everything will unfold in the divine timing and have acceptance.  Okay, so and also all right, this is somebody new coming in or someone connecting to reconcile or a friend or a lover, go slow with them, just have fun, take the time to get to know each other, don't rush anything and do one more. Okay, soulmate. All right, this is this is a soulmate connection. This is someone coming in here who you are going to gel with on all levels. This is like part of this is someone part of your soul tribe. This is like your person, right soulmate relationships are so awesome. They're so much fun. They're easy. They're relaxing with soulmates. And this is a soulmate connection right here. And this person is going to pursue and push you and and you know, entice you to go to meet up to connect with them. And I feel like your message here is you should embrace this. All right, Virgo, I'm going to leave your reading there. Hope you enjoy that.
