I'm moving to Louisiana for an internship and want to meet new people and hopefully my husband know other than being yourself and getting acclimated and and Showing up don't just go somewhere and be in the house Make sure you have a routine. I realized a lot of people don't have a gym routine. Don't have a outing routine But if you do that, you'll you'll jump off the page Question talking nine months Talking nine months live nine hours apart Never met communication dwindling and I answered this question last time, but see you was too busy reading comments I Answer your question last time you asked this Yesterday I answered this this here question So you got to go back to the videos yesterday And watch the two lives I did two lives yesterday whichever one you was on I answered your question So see y'all need to stay out of reading all these comments and Then be getting on your phone and be taking phone calls after you ask a question and Then be missing it See our shades God bless you. God bless you Tony. I'm gonna kick it off. I do not trust my man is Where he says he's gonna be I don't know what to do this eats me up when we're not together You got to ask why don't you trust him? Why don't you trust him? And if you Have a real reason not to trust him then that's when he needs to be building trust And you got to look a little deeper So if you really truly don't trust him then that's a red flag because if there is no trust There is no relationship. That's one thing you got to understand if there is no trust There is no relationship So you may have to dig a little deeper to make sure he is where he says he's going to be to put your mind at ease What are your thoughts on the Hypergamy message I always hear about You talking to the wrong one that ain't in my vocabulary, let me put let me Let me Google that because I keep seeing that word but like I told y'all y'all get on this hill line y'all get on this hill line and Then all these people with all these words making up all this stuff and then y'all sitting here Racking your brain About all these new terms when if you just get out here love yourself Walk with confidence take care your mind your body your spirit then You won't have to worry about anything Hypergamy is the thought that people want to marry up women especially. Let me Google this now because all y'all need different definitions So if that's what the case is the action of marrying a person of a superior caste or class now The caste system come from India so now think about this a Come up so didn't make this heart behind word hypergamy what we call a come up, you know, so And that is true. That is true. And like I say like somebody said especially women I'll be honest with you now a lot of women want to do that a Real woman is not trying to do that It's see when you trying to Marry up See a real man and woman they're gonna elevate to the level that they want to attract They're not gonna be down here Broke busted and disgusted looking like a three dollar bill who shot Johnny forgot to kill him And then trying to get somebody with some money and I do recall several women saying to me Oh, I want a man that make at least two million I'm like, do you know how hard it is to make two million and a man making two million? He probably gonna be able to make that for long And I'm like two million and I asked some of these women. Well, how much you make? A thousand So I'm like, you made forty thousand and you want a man who make two million What make you think a man who make two million? Won't you you see what I mean?  He married her for her to be a house slave That's what he married her for because a man who is worth his weight and gold He won a woman that he feels is his equal. He's not trying to rescue no one You know, he didn't he not worry. No, he's not worrying about your income level But he's looking at your character your integrity and your ambition So you might not earn what he earns, but if you looking like you want to come up He's not attracted I've been with my kids dad for 10 plus years. We have been through We have been through anything you can think of I'm 27. He's 28 I feel like I've outgrew him because I'm ready for a real man. He proposed to me twice Yep, you have outgrown him and that's what you have to realize. So You 27 so 10 years that means 17 a Lot of time those relationships, they're gonna fail just off rip They're gonna fail just because when y'all got together, you didn't know what you want You were so young y'all didn't even know what love was you should have been focusing on your school work But y'all was flipping and tossing and so by the time you wake up and realize who you are and what you want You realize that this was puppy love. This was childhood. This was high school love and It don't go together. Hey y'all put that hashtag cue Before your question so I see what you're talking about So I am a single mom daughter's father lives out of state. I don't have much support and I'm not able to get out Much to meet guys. I'm usually at church or at a church related activity at the store I Men in all of those places men in all of those places don't force it.  God bless you. What in the life Lord? Tony would it be tacky to have a gmail email address for my coaching business? I don't want to change my email address if I switch web hosts. No, it wouldn't be tacky It'll hurt you a little bit But it wouldn't be tacky, but it is you know gmail can attach to your domain So gmail you can connect your gmail with your domain to where you still using the gmail Interface, but it's at your comm Having your comm is it's gonna earn you more money because you're just gonna appear more trustworthy and more professional But it's it's not a deal-breaker How to get over a guy I've known for four years and been dating Addressed an issue and he hasn't spoke spoken to me for over three weeks Well, that ought to let you know something right there that he doesn't want you that you're not his wife He doesn't see you as a fit and he doesn't deserve you.  After he gets himself together because he doesn't feel he can give you 100% of himself at this time It's his it's a man's way of letting you down easy That's how see one thing that men nine out of ten men most men hate to Hurt a woman's feelings So a man will tell a woman who looked like the back of a 67 Chevy that she's the most beautiful thing He's ever seen and ask her did it hurt when she fell from heaven That's just how a lot of men are and so a man will tell you Oh, i'm gonna come back. I got to get myself together And the reason why he's saying that is because truthfully he just doesn't want to say listen You're not the one for me.  So what i'm telling you is that i'm gonna come back when I work on myself and i'm 100% that's not A man just isn't gonna say that and what you got to realize is that If a man sees you as his wife or his woman He could feel like a bomb on on the street corner like he could feel like a homeless guy He's not gonna let you get away. He's not gonna tell you you should leave me because you're better than me Because he wants a woman that He doesn't deserve like he's gonna want a woman That you know, he feels can make him look better make him feel better about himself If a man says he wants to take it slow because he rushed into His last relationship and it failed Is that game or could he truly be interested in taking it slow? He is consistent with his courting he could be It could be real but What it means is more so is that he's not sure That he doesn't feel like he doesn't feel strongly um That's your his wife like he's like, uh, maybe maybe not so let's take it slow But if a man is convinced that you look like the wife He's envision sound like a top liker y'all connect like he envisioned connecting With his wife and he's not gonna be talking about let's take it slow.  But is it really their business? um You do need to hide some things because it's not really his business and he can use that against you remember When you're dating anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of love So that's the that's your Toning rights. That's what you know them around the rights where the police this what I'm calling the toning rights Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of love so you got to understand that and Just tell him what he needs to know. So Around about the same reason all marriages fail Irreconcilable differences. Well, what do you mean? Just wanted different things in life Well, what do you well? What do you mean one of different things in life just all across the board? You name it. We just was on two separate pages. We was in two different books And so that's what you got to hit them with Michelle god bless you pull out in a life lord I'm so thankful for your material. I'm on my third book and fifth course.    Hey tony. Thank you for walking in your purpose You've helped me to walk in mine as well. Be blessed. Hey bless you little toy God bless you dominique Bless you pull out in our life or should I date a guy that was married five years but together nine Divorce under one year pays 1800 a year stays with homegirl No, keep it moving keep it moving. That's that's just that's low hanging fruit. That's low hanging fruit, you know That really ain't low hanging fruit. That's the that's the fruit that the rotten fruit that can fail And you got that brown spot on it and you touch that brown spot is real soft Like something slid up in there like it might be a maggot in there That's what that is right there because For one, he got a soul tie with that nine years two. He was married couldn't even hold that together for a year And then three he lived with his homegirl Which he probably Nailing her to the headboard And ain't gonna tell you that because she know her place So she okay with him dating but he missed the fix it. Okay, splack of valley. He huss splack of valley That's how he paying rent Going in there and then here you are you coming over there.  It's two it's two minute men out there for that Yeah, 1800 year in child support. I'm that really don't matter. That's neither here nor there But it just his old all life or all together. You got to keep going Uh key Sean God bless you. Thank you Tony. You're so much help to me in my everyday struggles with understanding men You rock man.  Won't a man go after any woman he wants? He is fine as a glass of chocolate milk Yep, that's again. That's main leash What he really means by out of his league is that you in the g-league And he in the nba. Let me help you understand this. Okay, the g-league they make 25,000 to 125,000 The nba they can make up the 40 million a year 45 million a year. You see what I mean?   Let me keep it moving Because that that's really what he's trying to tell you though Marquia Dickson. God bless you. God bless you And now see this the thing Y'all be asking me a question now these answers you got to make sure you ask these questions You want to hear the truth Because because a lot of times the truth is strange and in fiction and Like the man said on the movie you can't handle the truth. That's to be honest with you It's some it's some real stuff out here Will it work seven months together? No, s wants me to be his wife At month five reveals lives with x i'm hurt stop talking to him three days Just felt he wasn't moving out fast enough miss him um No, I mean you could force it to work But that's not a situation you want to make work Because see that type of man what he is looking for he's looking for a lily pad See he want to be able to hop over here Because he living with her that's how he getting his bills paid She helped him pay them bills And he also touching them And so what he want to be able to do is make a clean break But he don't he doesn't want to have that in between to where he got a stand on his own two feet Get his own place in his own name. He want to be able to jump right into another apartment With you and so that's what that is. That's what that is She she key to Harris. God bless you.  She key to you showed up yesterday Blessing me. I pray the lord bless you in the name of jesus Mr. Gaskin spelt my name wrong now Thanks, mr. Gaskin. I ditched the guy who is not interested, but now what? I don't want online. How do I attract someone truly interested? You just got to keep doing what you're doing. It's just like it's the way to Mop flops and the cookie crumbles You just got to keep doing what you're doing because it's just the law of averages in this world What what you have to realize is Understand this I had to go through over 100 women before I met my wife Like this real dates On dates you talking on the phone you all it is You creating soul ties. I did it the wrong way because I didn't have anybody teaching the way I'm teaching So I could teach from my mistakes because I did it the wrong way But listen, it took me over 100 women before I met my wife So you got to understand that is you might have to like they say We ain't gonna say kiss, but you might have to turn down 100 frogs before you meet Prince Charming. So that's what you're gonna have to realize Jacqueline God bless you. Hey Tony. Thank you for the Easter message this morning Hey, God bless you all notice on that Easter message this morning I turned the ads off because the ads be on on the video the ads, you know the commercials I turned it off Because I want this morning. I want you to be able to get that whole word It was on for the first few views and then I realized I turned it off. So what that mean? I don't earn anything from that video, but I turned it off so you could get That whole word uninterrupted. So if you got interrupted with an ad that mean you saw it Quickly go back and watch it. They got no ads in it. And so thank you for watching that It's physical appearance a big part of whether a man approaches or not Um, yes, it is a big part.  Is she gonna curse me out? Is she gonna give me a stare that could melt me in the salt?  You're gonna track the type of man that he's looking for a do-girl So you got to find your comfort zone to where you're comfortable To where you're comfortable.   My kid's dad proposed the second time in february But breaks up with me when we disagree. He has broken up with me But still is staying here with me. I'm not sure why he's still here and we don't have Yes Well, I'll tell you what Um That is a form Of control and manipulation that he's using Where you got somebody just hanging on and you break up with him every time you get upset What is really saying is that? He doesn't really love you.  I am Wq unit and then you sent me that blessing. You didn't have to worry about that now Thank you. I will keep trying. Sorry. I misspelled your name. Hey, god bless you. Now you showing that Okay, now this he'll say gtq, but now that's something else down Now that's gtq now that's 70 that's okay. That's 17 us that's that's interesting the other night I'm seeing that gtq Now now where are you at? gtq God bless you surely boy, I don't know like 12 years of marriage 15 together One daughter left me seven months ago Wanted different things. He apologized today has done his work in both grew and mature Should we try I don't feel he's afraid to lose me That's a personal choice if you want to try that me personally I'll be going about my business because it's been 15 years don't nobody leave after 15 years When you leave after 15 years you saying you done like that you leave in the first five years when Things rocky you getting to know each other like you ego in the way, but 15 years That's like y'all siblings that by that time almost so it's like okay, guatemolo gtq God bless you. Okay. You either been there. You got a quick google search. Okay, guatemolo. God bless you So yeah now It's a personal choice if you want to try and what I would say if you're gonna try it give it about Give it about six months to see where he's at if he's truly changing if he's gonna be consistent Give it about six months because he married you want to fight for marriage But you got to still pay attention to the size Royal arches. God bless you. Why are men so And I hold on It's a typo in here Why are men so? Maybe this categorically that you meant and consistently slimy uses their uses their time and energy to go the long way And lie opposed to just saying or doing what they need to So much so that you pegged them 100% each and every time You know, that's a that's a the eighth wonder of the world that we're wondering about not for its beauty But just for its mysteriousness and trying to understand why men are that way But I've been there and I'll be honest with you In this world most men are wired in a relationship to compete instead of to be teammates most men treat a woman like an opponent instead of like a teammate and It's just how men are wired just feeling operating from fear and insecurity And so men feel like the world is out to get them the world is against them That's why a lot of your conspiracy theories are men Because men are always paranoid like everything out here to get me everything against me They they chasing me they doing this, you know, they out about my wife She's like, I don't know what I'm gonna do with you when you 70 because I'd be swearing my phone tap And she's I don't know what I'm gonna do with you when you hit seven I'm gonna have to put you in a home because you around here already at 36 Be thinking somebody looking at you through the phone and but that's just how we are as men So if I'm until a man matures in the relationship space He'll keep acting a fool like that and you got to check them and move on Um, wave it black queen. Hold on. I see your question right there. I'm gonna try to get it after that I get the lab VIP out the way up here What time frame would you put on a long distance relationship? We have been together one and a half years. He's 40 I'm 43. He's 27 Um, um You're 43. He's 27 I'm 43. He's 27 Okay You're 43. He's 27. Okay.  I'll be honest with you It just it's just not possible for a 27 year old to be into a 43 year old It's just it's just not possible. It's no offense to women in their 40s or anything like that I want y'all to understand that but men like young younger Not older because you got to think of this thing like Men like coca-cola not red wine when it comes to women and that's what you have to understand It's like always date a man in your age range. No no less no more than five years younger than you No more than five years younger than you And and typically no no more than 10 years older than you The other thing is it's hard to trust a devout man or god in a long-distance relationship That is mature Trust in a 27 year old in a long-distance relationship That's almost That's like dating a man on the moon. What the man on the moon doing right now That's what your man doing your man. That's 27 long distance doing the same thing the man on the moon doing right now You ain't got a clue You ain't got a clue. And so that right there you got to let that go.   Lord a good man Pursued me He told me he'd wait He'd wait for physical I exposed past pain and gave myself to him. He says he's interested, but i'm not ready I call he doesn't respond. He will hit me after 45 days. Can I fix it? No, can't fix it.  He says he's interested, but you say i'm not ready So that's so many mixed signals.   How do I share your previous video today? God is real on my ig I need to get that message out. I don't Think you could share it on ig The only way is You're only on facebook because with the link the only way is if you put the link in your bio And then you make a post that click the link in my bio to see that video Or if you just screenshot the video and post it in your story and say go watch this video from today But it may not allow you to add a link in your story I think you have to have a certain amount of followers or Certain type of account to be able to add a link to where it hits wipe up God is faithful God is faithful. God bless you. What does a man mean when he says you are Definitely a keeper. He don't mean anything He don't mean anything unless he treats you like a keeper See a lot of men a lot of men want to say you a keeper They don't want to do the keeping a lot of men want to kill a woman But don't want to do the keeping see it don't mean anything So what you have to do it? I tell people all the time You got the a lot of time you're gonna have to date like Helen Keller You know Helen Keller. She got some really deep quote. She was a philosopher But Helen Keller was was deaf and blind So what I mean by that is you got to be able to feel You got to be able to feel with your heart What what is going on in this situation? Y'all hold on real quick Let me get waving black queen because I've seen that pop up meantime right here. Hold on How come sometimes as women we feel like we're missing out on someone who left us? Is that a self-esteem issue? No, I see you asking me about women And I see I'm a man. I really don't understand y'all See I can answer questions about men I really don't understand y'all. Okay So anything I say about y'all is just a guess. I'm just pulling just a guess out the air When I answer a question about a man, I bet every dime to my name and every dime on my earn in the future When I answer a question about a man But y'all I really don't fully understand y'all so, um What I say is to that Is it is a self-worth issue? You don't realize that you're the prize You don't realize that a man got to get on one knee for you For a reason a man get on one knee because you the prize So what you don't realize is that when a man leaves you it's truly because He doesn't deserve you and when you got to understand you just dodged Ahead a you just dodged a divorce.  He does text and call But it's nothing like when we are face-to-face the interaction is more face-to-face That's totally fine as long as he trying to make that face-to-face often And y'all seeing each other going on a date every week and as long as he calling every day So even if he won't face-to-face, he still need to call every day now He'll get he'll get off the hook now And you say he calling text. So, you know It's different, but you need to be on the phone with him. Don't talk it not texting Alasha, God bless you What are your thoughts when a man lets you meet his family on thanksgiving? Does that have any meaning as to how serious he is? By the way, I have finished reading your book and it was amazing on audible. God bless you Now leave me five stars on that now leave me five stars on there now It depends on How long y'all been dating now if y'all been dating closer to a year and he take you over there It means something if y'all just been dating less than six months and he take you over there It don't mean anything It just mean that his family is open and cool and and they all right with you know Just meeting women, you know some families is used to meeting women my family my mom and them they met different girls When I was through our high school they met all of them and they realized it didn't mean nothing And that's one of the things that a lot of times see with women y'all fantasize so much That y'all get caught up in stuff and y'all think stuff means stuff that don't mean anything So y'all think a man opening the door means something y'all think a man pulling out your chair means something Y'all think a man paying for your dinner means something Y'all think a man talking to his mama nice and sweet means something Y'all think a man talking rude to his mama means something a lot of stuff you think means something Don't mean anything, but it all come from movies when you think about it It all come from movies and people always say well Pay attention to how a man treat his mama his mama could have been a drug addict They used to beat the brakes off of him So if he talking to her a certain type of way That's just because he have absolutely no respect to her because of the pain that she put him through And he just not in a place to where he feel like you know Bowing down and and he may not be a man or god or he may not read the bible where say You know honored our mother and father, but that don't mean that he's gonna treat his wife like that He still could treat his wife like a queen because she's more so like a Savior like saving grace and that's what I see sometimes and women to get that confused And then a woman will see a man treat his mama like a queen And then think like Oh, he's gonna be amazing. He's gonna be amazing But really it's because his mama clothed and fed him His mama Carried him for 10 months. His mama was there for him when he needed when nobody else was there That's why he treat his mama like that, but that don't mean you ain't finna get dogged out So a lot of time women y'all read in the stuff that don't mean nothing So what you got to do is pay attention to solely how he treats you Just pay attention to how he treats you. How does he talk to you? How does he treat you?  I'm poor. He tells me about all the money he spends on frivolous things and I'm struggling Daily to have the necessities. It makes me feel bad. Am I wrong? Uh You wrong for remaining poor So what is it why you worrying about a man why you focus on this man for the last three years?  You need to be blogging.   He see you as a gold digger Waiting for a come up.      I met a guy two and a half months ago Said that he doesn't want to settle down right now once sex before marriage My beliefs are opposite. I've stood firm on my beliefs. He now says we can be friends. He still calls every day. Why?   Don't believe a woman when she says she's waiting till marriage Don't believe one when she says she don't do that. Just stay there. Just waiting the wings.  Hello, Tony after reading the woman's influence. I felt like I had been scraped inside and out with a cheese grater It hurt so good. This book was the icing on the cake.  It's real now. It's real Just like George said god bless you joy bought the book and sent my blessing Poor little life lord Kim soo god bless Kim soo now you back in here now Kim soo so you might need to be thinking about a session Kim soo Thank you for the work you do in the darkest time of my life your wisdom shed light and saved me May god bless you press down shaking together and running over Pour them to your life. Hey, thank you. God bless you.  I thank you for letting them use you Deep roots god bless you recently met a guy and we've been talking and video messaging every day Okay, that's good. It's only been two weeks. He is ready to be exclusive. Is this a red flag?  It's okay to say. Yeah, okay. Let's be exclusive Let's be exclusive That's totally fine because exclusive don't mean you getting on your bike. Just understand that exclusive don't mean You getting on your bike. Okay. Now the next thing what you got to realize is what does he have? What does he bring into the table? Does he have a job? Does he have a place to stay? Does he have transportation or money for transportation if y'all live in a city where y'all take the bus in the subway? Does he have transportation a job in a place to stay? and Then when I say a place to stay his own place that he paid the bills If he has all of those things Then it could be he feels you're his wife and he don't want to let you get away And not another thing now does he have citizenship? That's another thing. Does he have citizenship? The other thing is is he fresh out of relationship? Because sometimes a man a move fast when he fresh out of relationship because he need a rebound Because he want to post that rebound online to get back At his ex to get at his ex that he planned on going back and he know that if he could use you as a pawn She'll get jealous drop her guards lower her standards and then he could go back and get hurt So that's what you're going to have to realize and understand now. So pay attention pay attention Jay pretty god bless you. What should you say to someone you just started talking to online? Hinge or match okay the okay the old online dating sites When they ask you the question. So what is a pretty girl like you doing on here? Okay Answer the question answer the question j pretty answer the question. What is a pretty girl like you doing on here? That right there that question lets you know that men know that you're not supposed to be online dating Listen to what i'm telling y'all Men do not respect women. That's online dating and the men that's on there don't respect themselves They don't take themselves serious because guess what?  I am far from desperate That's why they made online dating for desperate people because You if you felt confident in meeting someone in real life you wouldn't go online dating So that's what you have to address You got to be able to look yourself in the mirror and say you know what?  Oh, okay. You sign up on self love you. Okay, okay The membership site god bless you just off the strength of a woman's influence I will get started after this live.  Yeah, I think that's the highest level on self love you Well, sometimes y'all see me that that shirt that says self dash love dash in the letter you calm That's a site with different courses from tony gas and academy. Some of them got the same title But I filmed it totally separate. So some of the stuff is different and so it's for people who Rather do a monthly membership versus You know Paying one fee up front um Y'all stay off that line Are you on the james?  They fleshly lust and desires And who have fully mature do not get online dating a man was not going to get on the line dating I remember being on black planet, you know the meat women on black planet You know and stuff like that so It just ain't real it just ain't well the way they have it set up today.

As companies are being asked to by their investors, by their employees, by government, to actually go through their entire wage systems and see if there are any wage differentials for a woman of the same education, the same occupation, obviously working in the same firm, are their differences. And they discover, yeah, there are differences. And then a number of firms having found out there are differences have now taken some action to eliminate them. But the fact that there were differences after you already counted for all these other variables suggested that there was a discriminatory or bias practice. So let's go now to some other areas. Women choose different occupations from men, and that's true around the world. And occupations like teachers pay less than occupations like engineers or lawyers in general. So occupational choice is part of it. And then you can ask questions about well why do women choose the occupations they choose? Are there not enough role models for women in higher paying occupations? Do women feel there are barriers to their advancement in those occupations? Women around the world are much more likely to do part-time work than men. And part-time work for the same kind of job, the same kind of occupation, the same sector, a part-time job does not pay as well as a full-time job. So if you are choosing part-time work, choosing a male occupation, choosing a male sector, but choosing a part-time job, you're more likely to see a woman's compensation wage be lower than a full-time man. Another thing that is remarkable, I think, around the world is that there's evidence of what you would call a motherhood penalty. So if you're in the workforce, let's take advanced industrial economies where actually now the education gap is largely gone. If you look at any part of the job market at the beginning of men and women entering the job market, you're not going to see much of a differential within an occupation or a differential within a sector. Men and women for the same level of education in the same occupation in the same sector working full-time, that wage difference has largely disappeared, same wage. If you then project forward five years, ten years, you see the arrival of children. You see very much a significant growth in what was no wage gap into a growing wage gap. Now that could be because, again, women decide that they're going to move to a part-time status. They're going to basically be removed from the sort of the career pathway so they can have more career acceleration pathways so they can have more time for care. Indeed, in some societies there's evidence of a male premium, so basically if you start out with no differential, you're in a family, the woman then sees a wage penalty over time. Her wage doesn't grow as much as she has a family. For the male, frequently the wage goes a little faster. This is really quite remarkable. A parenthood premium for males, a motherhood cost for females. We have unreported in the world of work the fact that there is a significant amount of work associated with parenthood with running a household and raising children. That work exists and right now, not just in advanced industrial countries but around the world, that work is disproportionately done by women and it's not paid. One policy area we can now see actually begins to distribute the burden more equally across parents is paternity leave. So lots of societies were doing maternity leave and what was happening was women were leaving the workforce, taking the maternity leave. By the time they went back into the workforce, they were already at a wage differential and they stayed there. What if you actually give fathers a paternity leave? What if you actually say to them, you must take this leave, otherwise you're not going to get parenthood leave, there's no discrimination, men and women take this leave. What we've discovered in societies that have that, that actually it's one of a whole set of policies which together, you can't pick out any single one, but which together seem to really address these wage differentials.


We talked about Amazon last few days and they were coming for aggressive 106 107 right 109 calls right today They're coming to the 112 calls guys watch Amazon for tomorrow This thing is literally you know could be a day away from getting above You know that last run into the linear regression line and this thing looks really really great


All right. Well, the markets are on hold ahead of Friday's jobs report and next month's Fed meeting here now is Jeremy Ratio, a VBS asset management. So Jeremy, record highs in the S&P 500, how would you characterize how investors are feeling right now? Scott, good morning. It's great to be here. I think they're feeling pretty bullish. I mean, for sure, what we're seeing in the markets, right? But you know, anytime we're at a record high, it always, you know, the sound of a bear kind of comes into play. Yeah, I think, well, we just got the numbers, the PCE numbers just came out and I think that they were in line, but that's good because they're showing that the consumer is growing. Obviously, for the U.S. markets, strong consumer growth is very important. And in Friday's numbers and the revised GDP numbers, which went up, they weren't great, but they're still good. But in some of the underlying numbers there, we saw the consumer spending revised up there as well from 0.3 to 0.6. So I think that's good as well. So more positive signs from the consumer. And all this data kind of puts the Fed on track to raise interest rates. In June, obviously, we're also watching Friday's Drives Report assuming there are no surprises in Friday's Drives Report, which there were a year ago in the May Drives Report. I mean, the Fed should be on track for June. It certainly seems that way. Yeah, I think June and my personal belief is June and probably a pause in September and then we probably again in December. But the key part of this June meeting is not necessarily interest rates, but the talk about the balance sheet, right? Because the Fed has to be very careful to avoid disturbing markets when it starts to unwind. It's $4.5 trillion balance sheet. Yeah, I think they're just starting to start to communicate about what they're going to do there. And I think they'll hopefully give us a bit more guidance with how they're going to manage that. But I think when they start, it's going to be baby steps as far as the unwind. And with earnings season over, though, and it was a strong one, I mean, what are the drivers of the market as the Fed back in the driver's seat book? Because we know earnings, the strong earnings kind of made up for the fact that the Trump policy, the market-friendly policy was stalled. Yeah, well, I think the first really good thing about earnings was it was strong and it beat. And it's really allowed earnings to catch up to valuations, which we saw running ahead of earnings probably for the past few quarters. So any sort of catch-up there, I think, was a good thing. I think some of the drivers, I think you might see that shifting a bit more to the corporate side. I think we've seen M&A in the first quarter was strong. The dollar value of deals was up 9% from the first quarter of last year. And in some of the survey data, it seems like we're getting expectations for a pickup in CapEx and R&D. So maybe some of the leadership or what's driving some of this maybe is coming from the corporate side. All right, well, we'll certainly watch how it all plays out.

help too at some point in this story there are parts and I need help so why don't we back up a little bit and see if we can make a big wide circle hey everybody good morning have any of you ever told stories around a campfire yeah what kinds of stories go spooky stories go spooky stories our story this morning is not a spooky story because I didn't want to scare the grown ups so we're going to keep it non-spooky and it is a pretend campfire because I would get in trouble if I started a real one right here so this is our pretend campfire so our story this morning those are real sticks aren't they that's the one real part is the real sticks I am allowed, yep I'm okay with the real sticks it was just the real fire that would get me in trouble yeah and we don't want that yeah there's a lot of wood in here yeah that's right well our story today is about a farm that was practically perfect in every way except it was missing one thing it had no rooster what's a rooster's job on the farm to crow and to wake people up so without a rooster the dog never woke up in time to fetch the newspaper for the farmer so the farmer didn't wake up in time to milk the cows before the sun rose and the cows never woke up in time to eat the grass when it was still wet with morning dew which if you didn't know is when grass is the tastiest so in case you ever need to know that I hope not so everybody was always late on this farm and everybody was always cranky in the morning and sometimes the crankiness lasted all day long until one day a chicken arrived at the farm and everyone was excited because walking behind the chicken were four little yellow balls of fluff and pardon me said the pig who was always very polite would one of those chicks happen to be would one of them happen to be a he why yes answered Mrs. Chicken and she pointed with the tip of her wing to the last one in line and said that's my son a rooster chicken squealed the lambs we're not going to be late anymore we have a rooster on the farm but they didn't well not yet because they had to wait yeah but they had to wait for these little chicks to grow up and they did grow up from little yellow balls of fluff with legs to bigger yellow balls of fluff with legs and the days passed and the young chickens grew and they had fine white feathers and bright yellow feet and then finally Mr. Rooster Chicken began to grow long swooping feathers on his tail squealed the lambs a tail soon you'll be old enough to crow well you look very handsome today Mr. Rooster said the pig a very fine looking foul if I may say thank you said Mr. Rooster but he walked away and his tail feathers were drooping what's wrong asked his friend the cat ah nothing well something's wrong said the yellow duck who swam in the pond and the pig came over to listen well said the young rooster everybody's waiting for me to grow up and learn how to crow now I'm doing the growing up part just fine but but what asked the cat well I don't know how to crow I've never heard a rooster how am I supposed to know what to do well we will help you said the pig who was not only exceedingly polite he was also very helpful we will ask the cat how are we gonna do that um yeah how asked the duck well we'll teach him said the pig haven't you ever heard a rooster crow Mrs. Duck well I have she said let me show you she flew to the top of the chicken coop and she folded her wings back are you ready everybody fold your wings back tilt your bill way up high to the sky and crow like a duck quack quack quack the cat covered his ears the pig said well thank you Mrs. Duck though that's not perhaps quite what we're looking for I hope not rooster let me demonstrate said the pig first you've got to climb to a high point so everybody climb up we're climbing to the top of the manure pile ugh and then tilt your snout high up into the air and everybody crow like a pig quack quack the cat closed his eyes and shook his head huh said Mrs. Duck not impressed well said the pig that's not quite how it works but you understand with a real rooster oh let me show you said the cat so the cat jumped up on the top of the fence curled his tail around his toes washed with one paw everybody washed with one paw look up at the sky and crow like a cat meow ah said the pig oh dear said the rooster he looked really alarmed at this point maybe another chicken so they ran and grabbed one of the little chicks and the chicken said how do we do it like a chicken quack quack quack quack that's getting closer so the dog tried what does the dog say woof woof the lambs came and what did the lambs say so the rooster shook his head and he said I'm never gonna learn how to crow I'm not gonna be good at waking people up and nobody's gonna like me anymore sure we will said the cat I like you right now you've never crowed a day in your life besides I like to sleep in late I wonder said the pig have you ever tried to crow me said the rooster but yeah well you are more of a rooster than any of us said mrs duck and will like you no matter what you sound like said the pig even if you don't make any sound at all so the rooster decided to try he flew up to the top of the chicken coop are you ready to be a rooster folded his wings back folded your wings back tilted his head in the air folded him back folded those wings back and he tried to make those noises that his friends make but what came out be a rooster what came out and after that nobody had any doubt that mr rooster could crow not even mr rooster himself so now there's a farm in a valley that's practically perfect in every way it even has a fine young rooster who crows at the crack of dawn and everyone gets out of bed exactly on time the dog wakes up to fetch the newspaper for the farmer the farmer wakes up to milk the cows the cows go out to eat the grass when it's still wet because it is the the tastiest in the morning do everyone is wide awake on that farm because they have a rooster whose friends helped him learn how to crow just like this give it your best rooster cockatoodle do do thank you for being such good thanks for sitting around our campfire we are going to rise in spirit and sing you out to your classes thanks everybody please be seated this morning a poem called the bugs of childhood don't you remember them the furred legs of a caterpillar moving along your arm each follicle prickling beneath their touch the crumpling of the ladybug's under wings as it tucked them back beneath its glossy shell the butterfly on your finger unfurling its long spiral tongue rows and rows of ants hefting their white eggs the flies head bowed antennae bent under the careful work of four legs as it bathed its large composite eye one no bigger than a speck left tufts of foam in your palm another a pool of green some rolled themselves into a pill shaped ball at the slightest touch while others no matter how you tried refused what was it about the workings of their small bodies the click of the mandibles or the steady pulse of the thorax so nipped at the center it seemed tied with a string almost electric the way they zipped through the grass sunlight caught in iridescence remember how the dirt glinted and shimmered how the blind earth once writhed alive in your hands and this second a memory from Manish Nandi I never felt closer to my dad than when our family was on vacation we always stayed with his sister who lived and taught school in a small town in central India there was nothing to see there and nothing to do except to walk so that is what he and I did each day before the sun rose and the streets became busy with bicycles bullet carts and buses dad would bend down next to my bed and touch my hand to wake me not wanting to disturb the other sleep by speaking once we were outside he would let me choose which road to take there were only two sometimes he'd confirm my choice by saying well done this side of town seems much quieter today we would pass by the vegetable vendors and the newspaper seller on his decrepit bicycle and the tiny farmers cooperative once we were outside of town the air was fresher dad and I would walk briskly by the light of the rising sun a few huts the occasional stream and an emaciated cow or two were the only scenery but dad would always find something of interest look he might whisper and draw my attention with a forefinger to a blue fly catcher perched on a twig or a modest garden with a flaming red teak in full bloom we would walk three miles to the river and along the scraggly shoreline a bit then turn around and go back by the time we return the town would be waking and dad would say as if the idea had suddenly struck him for the very first time do you think we should stop for some tea I would nod and we'd visit a street side stall where an old man served tea to passing laborers we would sit on a rough bench on a rickety table and the man would place two steaming cups of over sweetened Darjeeling before us I love dad's expression of satisfaction as he took that first sip after the third sip he would turn convivial so he might ask what do you think of this town unlike our conversations at home our discussions made me feel as if we were equals dad has been gone some 30 years I live on the other side of the world I have nothing to remind me of him except a handful of old photographs but in the Washington D.C. suburb where I live I walk every morning with my aging husky and I remember the quiet loving man who walked with me made me feel like his equal thank you for bringing so much beauty this morning and Jess is even playing all the hymns so I think he gets extra points for that on my honor I will try to serve God and my country to help people at all times and to live by the Girl Scout Law these words the Girl Scout promise were committed to memory and childhood I believe helped shape me into the person I am today I grew up proud to be a Girl Scout earning badges learning new skills giving back to my community earning the highest award for a Girl Scout the gold award and selling and consuming a lot of cookies I always imagined my transition into leadership as an adult troop leader as I worked with my own daughters in scouting never did I imagine that I would now spend two Monday evenings a month saying this instead on my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law to help other people at all times to keep myself physically strong mentally awake and morally straight a Scout is trustworthy, loyal helpful, friendly, courteous kind, obedient, cheerful thrifty, brave, clean and reverent can you tell that the mom stressed one of those words two Mondays a month I know many of you could and did join me in saying those words the oath and the law of the Boy Scouts of America when Brent and Dale Haglund who won the sermon of their choice at last year's cabaret auction suggested the theme of scouting I immediately thought of my many years as a Girl Scout and of all the wonderful experiences my own son is currently having in Cub Scouts and thanks to Brent for providing the beautiful photos outside the auditorium and this one up here is Brent earning his Eagle Award meeting President Johnson in Washington so please after the service come up and take a look I will admit that when sons were born I did worry over what I call the scouting question I know some of you with boys share this question and maybe ambivalent about whether or not your own children would ever join the history of the Boy Scouts of America has been rife with moral concerns over their discriminatory policies against gay scouts and leaders transgender scouts and those who struggle professing a duty to God having spent my growing up with the Girl Scouts an organization that has been welcoming and non discriminatory from the beginning that has an asterisk next to serve God which lets you know that the word God interpreted according to one's own spiritual beliefs having grown up with this inclusivity I worried about what I would do if and when my boys became interested in scouting so I did my homework I talked to many parents both those who chose to involve their children and those who did not there were many reasons to say yes the skills taught in meetings or campouts stay with kids forever from life saving to citizenship scouts gain a deeper understanding of skills that will affect them for the rest of their lives and in the case of some skills like first aid and emergency preparedness scouting is a unique opportunity to gain knowledge that could save their own life or someone else's from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts stories abound of those who saved the lives of family or friends simply because they knew how to be prepared scouting places of very high value on civic engagement and community involvement scouts take that commitment very seriously volunteering for a wide range of projects improving public lands and properties serving food banks learning environmental responsibility all of this adding up to nearly a hundred million service hours across the United States every year Peter Appelbaum an editor of the New York Times wrote that as an adult volunteer involved with his son scouting he observed that scouting's core values are wonderful building blocks for a movement and a life scouting's genuinely egalitarian goals and instincts are more important now than ever it's one of the only things that kids do that is genuinely cooperative not competitive when my son decided he wanted to try Cub Scouts I reluctantly agreed I watched as he put on his uniform and instantly felt a part of something larger than himself he loves being outside experiencing things he doesn't find anywhere else he enjoys the friendship and earning the pins the sense of accomplishment that comes with racing a car that you carved out of nothing but a block of wood I visited the website of Scouts for Equality an organization created in 2012 by current scouts and lifelong Eagle Scouts who wish to see a change in these policies and want to create a stronger and more inclusive Boy Scouts of America they offer an inclusive scouting award for packs and troops who welcome all they have run multiple campaigns to end the discriminatory bans and they have been the champion of Scouts and parents who were removed from Scouting on their website they ask should I enroll my child in Scouts is their answer absolutely all of us can point to Scouting as instrumental in shaping who we are Scouting combines leadership survival teamwork with basic skills such as time management first aid and planning it is up to all of us to get involved to help ensure that the pro equality voice within Scouting is heard this alone is the best way to pave the path toward an even brighter and more inclusive future we encourage you to enroll your child, speak up and lead by example and this brings me to what I believe is the first lesson in Scouting change comes from within several major councils openly defied the national policy with the prospect of a number of others following in their steps technically their charters could have been revoked but the national organization stated that they would not revoke charters because it would deny the lifelong benefits of Scouting to tens of thousands of boys and young men and countless more in the future the 37 year battle for the inclusion of lesbian, gay and bisexual Scouts employees and troop leaders ended with the inclusion of Scouts in 2014 and the inclusion of LGBT adult leaders in 2015 because of the work of those who were involved speaking up and out and bringing about change this past January the Boy Scouts of America began accepting members based on their gender identity not on what's listed on their birth certificates opening the door for transgender youth to join now this occurred not over 37 years but in a matter of months because of an 8 year old transgender boy from New Jersey whose expulsion ignited the controversy and whose courage helped the organization to see in their own words the harm that was being caused to this child and his family and the distraction it caused from doing what we do best supporting and honoring and respecting the worth and individuality of all children now in their words is what I see as the second lesson the importance of creating relationships of equality and mutual respect across the generations Lord Robert Baden Powell founder of the Boy Scouts once said a boy is supremely confident of his own power and dislikes being treated as a child when a boy finds someone who takes an interest in him he responds the sport in scouting is to find the good in every child and develop it the spirit is there in everyone it has to be discovered and brought to light Baden Powell created Boy Scouts out of his empathy for children and his belief that childhood is a time of adventure self development and good clean fun Juliet Lowe founder of the Girl Scouts learned about scouting from Baden Powell at the age of 51 a widowed woman from an estranged marriage she was trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life Baden Powell shared the idea of getting young people into a different environment where they could learn resourcefulness and self-reliance had I had a bigger view she later wrote a different view a larger view of the world from the narrow upper class life I was given in Savannah, Georgia would I have used those first 51 years in a way that would have made me feel more effective Lowe returned to the United States and threw herself into the creation and leadership of the Girl Scouts now we got to say Girl Scouts has always been a bit edgy they were part of the women's liberation movement Lowe founded a troop for girls with disabilities they dove early into the movement for racial integration today their slogan is Discover, Connect and Take Action Instructing girls to learn about a problem connect to other people and learn how to help the ambassador handbook states Girl Scouts exists so you and millions of others can make a commitment to change the world save the earth and create a more peaceful planet which brings me to the third lesson instilling a love of nature and a sense of reverence and responsibility for its care by and large our society has come to regard nature as separate from normal daily life as little more than a passing dream on the other side of the windshield visits to natural parks have dropped and we recognize a growing disconnect between children and nature study after study indicates that time outdoors in a natural setting is a vital element for healthy childhood development more than a hundred studies of adults and children show that spending time in nature reduces stress while others show that contact with the natural world significantly reduces symptoms of childhood depression and attention deficit disorder along with the personal benefits of being in nature comes the growth of reverence a scout is reverent reverence is a feeling inside us that we are part of something greater than ourselves and not only are we a part of it we depend on it and it depends on us whether you call it God or the starry heavens or the creator or family or humanity we stand in awe before something that is larger than we are and therefore we offer it and everything around us respect we are all part of this so everything deserves our consideration and thoughtfulness in his final speech as Boy Scouts of America president Robert Gates said that America needs scouting because what other organization takes boys into the wilderness to find adventure to learn about our priceless natural heritage to develop the inner strength and confidence to overcome challenges and adversity listen to the words of supreme court justice William O. Douglas if throughout time the youth of our nation accept the challenge the mountains offer they will help keep alive in our people the spirit of adventure that spirit is a measure of the vitality of a nation a people who climb the ridges and sleep under the stars and high mountain meadows who enter the forest and scale the peaks who explore glaciers and walk ridges buried deep in snow these people will give their country some of the indomitable spirit of the mountains and this spirit of the mountains gives us the ability to seek out and find the good it takes no special talent to look around our world and point out things that are numbing depressing but becoming consistently and keenly aware of what is good true what is beautiful demands a discipline we must open our eyes, minds and hearts and keep them open as we open up we will begin to see that beauty is everywhere in nature and in human nature in the face of a lot of bad news these days we need ways to remember that there is as well as we hear in this poem by Mary Oliver every day I see or hear something that more or less kills me with delight that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light it is what I was born for to look to listen to lose myself inside this soft world to instruct myself over and over in joy I am not talking about the exceptional the fearful the dreadful the very extravagant but of the ordinary the common the very drab the daily presentations oh good scholar I say to myself how can you help but grow wise with such teachings as these the untrimmable light of the world the oceans shine the prayers that are made out of grass the final lesson I'll mention has been one of the most remarkable aspects of scouting for my family and that is find your pack in a world that separates compares and divides scouting has brought this community friendships and connection at Sam's first den meeting his leader told the boys here in scouts we're going to really think about how we are together who we are together here we support one another we lift each other up we stick together there are no heroes because heroes work out there on their own and in this den no one will ever be left on their own starhawk once wrote that we are all longing to go home to some place we have never been a place half remembered and half envisioned that we only catch glimpses of from time to time community somewhere people to whom we can speak without having the words catching our throats somewhere where there's a circle of hands to open and receive us eyes that light up as we enter voices who celebrate whenever we come into our own power community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that must be done arms to hold us when we falter a circle of healing a circle of friends someplace where we can be free so whether or not you or a loved one chooses to be involved in any kind of scouting organization these lessons still apply fight for change in organizations and communities that matter to you speak your truth and help bring them to their unimaginable heights our world today needs the spirit of the mountains it needs your spirit and your vision create relationships across the generations be a mentor help someone else discover the spirit and light within help them shine get outside into nature remember the goodness see the beauty feel the reverence and finally find your pack find those who bring you healing and strength for no one can get through this life alone so I'll leave you with the words that ended many of my days as a girl scout day is done gone the sun from the lake from the hills from the sky all is well safely rest God is nigh and I now invite you into the giving and receiving of today's offering it is an outreach offering to be shared with sale you can find out more about them in your order of service and we thank you for your generosity playing together each week a community who gathers joys and sorrows written on our hearts in this place we come together to find strength and common purpose turning our minds and hearts toward one another seeking to bring into our circle of concern all who need our love and support this week we send our prayers and thoughts to Rose Marie a friend of Marty Hollis visiting after surgery for pancreatic cancer we also send our love and our prayers for healing to Neil Launey father of Robin Launey Langton he had a stroke on Tuesday and is recovering at home in the Twin Cities we also lift up the joys and the sorrows that are too tender to share that live in the fullness of our hearts may we remember that we are part of a web of life that makes us one with all humanity and one with all the universe may we be grateful for the miracle of life that we share and the hope that gives us the power to care to remember and to love blessed be and I now invite you to rise in body your spirit for our closing hymn for 1064 may the peace of the flowing waters be with us may the beauty of the starry skies be with us may the blessings of companionship give us strength for the work that must be done and may the miracle of this world and this life together continue to amaze us each and every day blessed be and go in peace and please be seated for the postlude

Meanwhile, enough in political pressure, Group R1U Agenda, ANA has emphasized the need for healing and inclusivity and national cohesion in the upcoming election of the 10th National Assembly's presiding officers. Chairman of the Group, Senator Ahmed Abubakar, Maul Aliidi, made a call at a press briefing in Abuja. ANA said it aims to promote social harmony and peaceful coexistence in the country. The Group expressed concerns about the current political landscape where the President, Vice President, Chief Justice of Nigeria and a front-runner for the Senate President in the 10th Assembly are all Muslims. A grand scale of patriotic and informed leaders have in recent times spoken of the iterative feat of someone from the South-South geopolitical zone to lead the 10th Senate. This being the only zone never to have to head the position of Senate President in this era of a democratic expression that is 1999 to date. The current dispensation requires leaders with character and tenacity. Senator Goswina Papio comes across as a gifted leader in an uncommon grace to navigate the treacherous and difficult political landscape, having built enduring bridges across the political, ethnic and religious landscape of a multifaceted country like Nigeria. His political sagacity and accommodating win-win ethos will be the highly needed skills required to head the 10th Senate. For the APC as a political party, it is time to reward Nigerians who put their faith in the hands of the party despite the clamor by pandits who vehemently oppose the choice of two Muslims as President and Vice President. It is therefore critical to reduce the usual acrimony that characterizes struggle for power among the geopolitical zones in a manner that will reduce unnecessary distractions and foster a peaceful and smooth takeover of the new dispensation under President
