Welcome to the Bull and Bear Show episode number 26. I'm here with Nash Cowboy, King Earl and Blaze. How you guys doing today? Doing great, bro. Thank you. Doing well. Great to have you guys on the show and the big news right now that's breaking that we're going to talk about is the new presidential candidate in Argentina. The pro-Bitcoin new presidential candidate has just been elected in Argentina, Javier Mele, and this is huge news for Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is rallying on this news. We can take a look at the price of Bitcoin right now, sitting at $37,288, and Ethereum also breaking $2,000 now at $2,004. So my question is, I'm going to start with you, Earl. What do you think about this big breaking news, Earl? I love this guy. I've been waiting. They've had too many re-elections, and I've been waiting for this guy to get actually put in. I first learned of this guy on Twitter Spaces with a Tucker Carlson interview. I completely love the guy. I love his brain thoughts. He's an economic guy. I believe that he might actually help bring communism to a stop in Argentina and help the markets rally over there whenever they get done. I completely have faith in this guy, and I hope that he does a good job, and I have faith. As far as Bitcoin rallying, I mean, yeah, Bitcoin is going to have a rally because he's pro Bitcoin. I mean, I've been seeing it all over South America, not just Argentina in the news today. And like I said, I've been waiting since last month for the re-election, because down there you have to win by a quarter of the votes to actually gain it. And then I just love this guy because of the way that he talks and what he talks about and the amount of passion that he has for what he believes in. Well, great to hear your feedback, and I know that the fans that are watching all over the world love hearing from King Earl, and I want to hear about Nash Cowboy. Nash Cowboy, what do you think about Argentina's new president being pro Bitcoin? Is this going to be a huge boost for Bitcoin? Clearly it is right now because Bitcoin's up. Nash Cowboy, is she working for it? Yeah, I can hear you. All right, so we're talking about the president liking Bitcoin, correct? I think that it's great for the country. It could potentially just, I mean, who knows? I know some other countries have tried like the whole solid crypto thing and not done very well at start, but then it seems to be progressing. The more countries that start being pro Bitcoin, I think we're going to evolve into all kinds of things, not just Bitcoin though, some other coins as well. I think it could be a great thing. All right, Nash Cowboy, I'd love to hear your feedback. And Blaze, what do you think the Argentinian president just elected is pro Bitcoin? Is this a boom for Bitcoin? Anything like that's a boom for Bitcoin, just like the Sanctez in Florida. It's a boom for Bitcoin, right? He's running for president, boom, boom. So any good news is like, you know, crypto runs off of good news, right? So this guy's a firecracker. This guy means business. And this guy's over here ready to try and make this economy for them a lot better over there, so which way to go? Bitcoin. So yeah, I think him taking over will help Bitcoin spike at least 10, 15% extra than what we always already thought. So it's good news to go with all good news, right? I love it. I agree with you 100%. Now let's talk about the next big news here and the next big news. And this is huge news for Ethereum and I'm an Ethereum holder and full disclosure. I want to let everyone know that Rich TV live is strictly for information and education purposes. We are not licensed advisors.  All of us are investors like you guys at home. We're not trying to tell you what to buy. I do own Bitcoin and Ethereum. Everyone on here owns crypto. Okay. We're not telling you to buy crypto, but we're letting you know that Bitcoin this year and Ethereum and a lot of cryptos have been on fire and we've been talking about it and we've been right about what's going to happen in the market and the market is going exactly as planned. And everything is falling into place and Ethereum right now. The big news for Ethereum is that BlackRock just filed for a spot Ethereum ETF after registering entities in Delaware. Huge news in my opinion for Ethereum. I'd love to know what you think about this news, Earl. It's great news. Limemar is now 44% for the day. But, you know, it's great news. I mean, I told you guys two weeks ago that this was going to happen. Of course it is happening. You know, it's just a smart thing for them to do. They're going to make much more money by staking their Ethereum and selling it out for custody rather while maintaining custody rather than the staking percentage they're going to get off of Bitcoin. I mean, it was the smartest move to make and I'm glad they listened to me on RichTV.com, you know, and, you know, it's just great news. It's going to be great for the market. It's going to be great for the rally and I do, you know, in a non-financial advisor kind of way view that, you know, we will potentially see Ethereum break that $10,000 per token mark this bull market, not only due to the ETFs but the Shanghai merger and the burning ratio set to the GUI for the transactions and the amount of transactions going through. So I think it's going to be a great step in the right direction. It's going to be great for them. It's going to be great for the whole entire crypto market. Yeah, I agree with you. I think it's huge and we saw what happened with Bitcoin. Bitcoin did its huge run after BlackRock announced that they were going to do a Bitcoin ETF and then 12. Well, I think there's 10 or 12 companies now that have registered for Bitcoin ETFs. So now Ethereum is being started with BlackRock as well. So you have to assume there's going to be at least five or 10 Ethereum ETFs that are going to start ripping off. So Nash Cowboy, what do you think about this news? Are you a buyer of Ethereum after this news? I think for Ethereum it's great but not just Ethereum. I've always been a buyer of Ethereum. I don't hold a lot of it right now because I've put it into NFTs and then traded around, traded back to Ethereum and now I'm back into some NFTs. But it's basically the same thing and it's holding Ethereum in my opinion because I can always just trade it right back. I think it's great. I'm actually kind of hoping this even goes a step farther and there's some other spot ETFs filed on some other coins. But we'll see. We'll see what happens. I'm with her. Oh, I think Ethereum could possibly break a 10,000 mark there. Oh baby, from your list to God's ears, I'd love to see a 10,000 but I can't wait to see where it goes. We're in an unprecedented territory in crypto and we really don't know. We got so much going on that could send a lot of coins straight to the moon. So let's grab the bull by the horns. That's all I can say. Blaze, what do you think about this news? Ethereum now looking to get actually a spot ETF through BlackRock. Do you think this is big news for Ethereum and for crypto? So Ethereum's trying to get one through BlackRock rather than BlackRock trying to make them an ETF. Well, I mean BlackRock's making an ETF. Okay. It's not through Ethereum. They're doing a similar thing like they're doing with Bitcoin, they just want to now do on Ethereum. So essentially you're going to be able to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum in the stock market through BlackRock. I think it's going to create some major green lines. It's definitely got to reflect on Ethereum and Ethereum's going to reflect on all the other tokens off of Ethereum. So if you have anything Ethereum based, hold on to it. Does it reflect a price of Ethereum if it's sold on the stock market? Absolutely, because when BlackRock goes in, they go big. You can't put it on the stock market unless you buy a good percentage of the whole entire entity, right? So at that price, BlackRock can chop up quite a bit of that Ethereum off the market. And I think, I'm not an advisor, but for my own good and all the people out there that study, I think that will give a 5X to Ethereum. I think that's very possible. And you can see, we just showed the charts, Bitcoin and Ethereum are doing extremely well on this news. And I believe that this is the reason. I believe this is the catalyst. We've got Bitcoin that just got a presidential candidate in an entire country that's pro Bitcoin that can be huge for Bitcoin depending on what they do with that. And now we've got BlackRock who started the momentum with Bitcoin this year with Bitcoin ETFs now saying that they wanna get a Ethereum ETF, which means investors will be able to buy Ethereum through the stock market, which means you're not gonna have to worry about holding coins on an exchange and your exchange going bankrupt. You're not gonna have to worry about your money disappearing through hacking. You're not gonna have to worry about remembering your password for your crypto account. You can now buy Bitcoin and Ethereum through the stock market. I mean, this is how most people do it. So this is gonna give that average investor that doesn't like crypto, doesn't understand crypto, doesn't want crypto, it's gonna give them a chance to still get exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum. And I think that's gonna take the prices higher. I can't see how it would it. And that leads me to my next question. Let's get into the next topic here. All right, so Fidelity wants to create an Ether ETF. So it's not just BlackRock, now Fidelity wants an Ethereum ETF joining BlackRock and doubling down on crypto. So do you guys see the trend here? It's kind of like a trend, right? It's like, oh, one does it, now they all wanna do it. It happened with Bitcoin and now it's happening with Ethereum, interesting. What do you think about this, King Earl? I mean, they're gonna continue to do this. Don't be surprised when it's gonna be more of them continuing to come into the Ethereum spotlight. I mean, Chase, JP, Morgan, we already know they want it, right? We already know they want in and they already cash in and for it. And the whole thing is, like I said, they wanna make money. It's gonna be the best move to make money. And they say, hey, well, BlackRock's gonna do it. Why are they doing it? We want a piece of the action too. You know, it's a great time to get in before they buy, that's all I know. It's a great time to get in and all go on. Yeah, I mean, it was a great time to get in at the beginning of the year. I don't know what now, but I mean, yeah, I still believe we're going much higher, but- I can only preach the bottom so much. You know. No, I know. When we were telling everyone to get in when it was under 20,000, that's when we were screaming for everyone to get in. Now when people ask me, is it too late to get in? I'm like, man, well, it's not too late. I think we're going higher, but it's a much tougher buy for me right now at these levels than it was six months ago. That's for sure. Bitcoin was at 16,000, now it's at 37,000. Ethereum was at like 900, you know, now it's at 2,000. So we've seen a lot of coins make big moves, which is fantastic, but is it really a good time to buy right now? That's tough. I mean, that's difficult. So Nash, what do you think about this news? Fidelity now wanting to create an Ethereum ETF. So it looks like there's going to be a whole run on Ethereum now. Are you looking to buy Ethereum because of this news? I probably will. I'll stock up a little bit. Again, I'm not a huge Ethereum holder, although I definitely believe in the whole project there. But my main focus on Ethereum is just trading the FTs. But I think, like Earl said, you're going to see more and more of this. There's a lot going on. I mean, it is not too late to get in on Ethereum or Bitcoin or my personal favor in finance because we're still technically in an accumulation here for another month and a half. It's not too late. But like I said in our last show, I expect a little dip here and there until the Bitcoin having. So as long as you're okay with riding through, if there's a dip right after you buy, don't get scared. The full-fledged bull market has not started yet. It is, we are on a bull run here, but wait and see what happens on the bull market really starts after the Bitcoin having cycle. I mean, again, we're in unprecedented territory and we could see crazy heights. We don't know where it's going. We don't have a crystal ball, but it's definitely in my opinion, going way up from here. I agree with you on that. Blaze, what do you think about this? Everyone wants to get into Ethereum ETF now. Sounds familiar, right? Well, yeah, it does. I think Earl mentioned a little bit early in his comments about JP Morgan, Chase Bank and stuff like that. I've been hearing, I've been getting letters and notifications about what we think and, you know, I think if Bank of America, JP Morgan, BlackRock, Fidelity gets involved. Look it, Ethereum has the ability to hit 20, 30 grand eventually. It's a long-term token. 20, 30 grand would be silly. Yeah, it's a long-term token. It does have possibility within the market cap, you know, with the amount of tokens will have to be picked up by those big agencies. That token can skyrocket. Like, I love it. I love hearing about all this. Ethereum is a major play in a lot of my minis, you know? Oh, I agree. I think it has huge, huge, huge potential. And obviously- Good news is always the best, right? Of course. And, you know, I've been an Ethereum holder for a long time and I really love it. And I've seen this go from a hundred bucks to 2,000 and do a 20X. I've seen Bitcoin go from 1,000 to 37,000. At one point. I've seen it go as high as 69,000. I've seen Ethereum go as high as 4,800. So, you know, for me, I think crypto's one of those things you can really dream about prices and sometimes those dreams turn into realities. So it's just nice to be able to be in it, to win it and know that things are only gonna get better. So it's exciting. It's an exciting time. And I'm excited to be a part of it and for you guys to be a part of it. And hopefully for those of you guys that are watching at home, you're part of it too. So important Ripple announcement for XRPL projects. Ripple developer arm is awarding 1.3 million to support innovative projects from AI, DeFi and more. So, Earl, you brought me this news. What do you think about this news? I think it's a great turn, you know, that they're actually using some of the funding to do other things of non-self-interest. But, you know, at the same time, just to build the blockchain itself.  This is the sixth wave of loans or donations, charitable ways they've given out. You know, it's a tax break for them as far as the project. But not only that, you're looking at the fact that, you know, they're gonna be building the project and led your technology. I mean, you know, it doesn't get any better than that. You know, introducing more stuff into your ecosystem to build the ecosystem. While you're being still fighting in a court case, you're still just giving out money. It's awesome. And it's, you know, what crypto was meant to be. And it helps develop the technological side of crypto technology and technology, future technologies of the world. And I'm all about that. You know, it's awesome news. And I'm glad to hear it. And I hope they continue to keep on striding forward, even though, you know, the token itself is still lacking sideways trading, moving and false promises and court cases. But, you know, we'll get past it in the end and see where all the chips lie. You know, it has a rally when it pumps, it pumps and we'll go from there. All right. Thank you. I appreciate your feedback, Earl. And Nash, what do you think about this money being used now for AI and Ripple projects, $1.3 million? Does this make you a buyer for Ripple? Well, I've always been a buyer for Ripple. I don't own a lot of it, but I'm all for the project. I think AI is the next generation of just about everything. So it's really smart on their half to get into it, I think. I think there's a lot of pros and cons to the whole AI world. But I think Ripple already had a lot of potential. So, I mean, a lot of people don't know it. They've been around for quite some time now. It's not like it's a new thing, but bringing AI into it, the possibilities are endless. We haven't seen what all AI is even capable of, you know, and it just keeps progressing at such a fast rate. You know, technology is an amazing thing in our world as long as we keep tabs on it and just don't let it get too far. But yeah, I think it's a great thing. And I think Ripple's gonna do great things. So, I mean, I'm just not in gum hole. I mean, that's not my number one coin for one thing. But I do think it has a lot of potential to do a lot of things. All right, Nash Cowboy. Now, Earl, I love what you said. Earl and Nash Cowboy, I love what you guys said about Ripple and the potential blaze. What do you think about the potential now here with Ripple and announcing more projects and AI, $1.3 million invested? What do you think this means for Ripple and does this make you a buyer of Ripple? No, it don't make me a buyer of Ripple. AI will never influence me to buy any crypto. I don't think AI is tuned up big enough yet. I've tried major AI programs and I actually told them they were wrong. They re-corrected us up with the wrong answer again. So, there's a lot of projects going out there with AI and I think $1.3 million into a project like that is like peanuts, actually, to be honest, but yeah, it's probably just gonna buy a couple little microchips that go with the program. They're far away from it. I think Ripple blasts through the sailing with or without AI right now. AI is just like the eight track of the CDs right now, you know what I mean? Okay. But I do love the news Earl brings to the table because when I was snooping a couple of things, that's what actually made me make that decision when I decided, will it actually influence me to buy any crypto? You know what influences me to buy crypto is those graphs. When they show something and you fail it, you go for it. That's what I feel, you know? Yeah, you gotta trust your gut. Yeah, your gut. All right. Because once you let artificial intelligence take over your gut, you're doomed. Oh, for sure. I mean, as a trader, you have to trust yourself. Yeah, you have to be the key player to any trade. AI introduced to any program creates more capital per program and more money out of your pocket. When you can do it yourself and we've been doing it for years, there's no cheat to crypto. AI, you can't cheat with it. It's not gonna teach you much. You know what I mean? I'd rather listen to you guys learn more about crypto. I'm gonna get way more information out of the person that's buying it like humans, not robots. You know what I mean? To all the bought users out there, God bless you. Eventually those things will be blocked out too. So that's how it goes in my book. I like the human idea. Yes, speaking on that, our next topic here is Binance. So Binance takes security measures to delist 15 trading pairs. This is another piece of news that Earl shared with me. Earl, what do you think about this news? That's a good one. It's awesome news.  So they're getting more in line with what the world is requiring. As far as money flow and moving away with the sanctions that's actually on them, they're moving away from the Russian markets. Of course it was the tokens that they delisted were negatively affected due to the change. But I mean, I view that the tokens that were delisted that were just Russian pairs have the potential to go way more higher as it seeks a new market. Now that it wasn't actually controlled by Russia. Lighting issue. Now that it actually isn't controlled by Russia and it's not gonna have as much influence or market manipulation going on due to incidences or communism. So it's a great step away from making free money free and giving the power back to the people and allowing people to feel safer when they're investing into something rather than it having an outside input into it. So I view it's a great thing on Binance. It's the only thing I can remember that Binance has done good in the past three years. So besides hiring an SEC guy, but more power to him. But I mean, this is one for them. Many other people take part of the recognition and congratulate him on the back for doing the right thing. And maybe there'll be a stepping stone for the rest of the exchanges do the same thing. Okay. Nash, what do you think about this? Binance delisting, taking 15 different trading pairs off of their system. What do you think about this? You think it's the right move? I think it's right for them. However, who knows? Obviously they did it for a reason and they are the biggest exchange out there.    But I don't know. I think it'll be good for them. I'm not a Binance fan myself, but I think it'll be good for them to just like Earl said, I wasn't aware that they only delisted coins that were associated with Russia or whatever. However, it is going to hurt some people's investments. I don't like that. So they'll be probably selling off. I think it was Solana one of them, I believe. So there's a lot of people that are hardcore on Solana and it could very well hurt them in the long run. So I don't know. We'll see where it goes. Maybe they'll just choose a different exchange or just see where it goes, you know? Blaze, what do you think about this? 15 pairs, trading pairs delisted from Binance? Not one thumbs up, not two, but three. Here's the reason why. Because the control, okay? So it's a Russian based idea, right? And pairs can be very dangerous. Where you can control pairs. So I mean, this is not going to hurt the investor. So we have Binance USA, then we have Binance World, right? So that doesn't have nothing to do with us on Binance World but has something to do with reflections on our investments through Binance. So I think it's gonna create more confidence for people knowing and nothing against the people of Russia, but the government over there, the reason why crypto is fluctuating quite a bit is because they're playing with crypto, okay? So the less power they have with it, the less people are gonna get burned. And that's what I believe. I think things are gonna get better. Nobody's investment's gonna be hurt. I think they're gonna make more money out of it. Great, I love it. And I love your guys' opinions and that's why we do this show. So this is the next topic here and we're gonna change tunes a little bit away from crypto. Obviously crypto is doing it very well. We spent half the show so far talking about it. But I wanna talk about what's going on on the global scale. So Biden hails productive talks with Xi Jinping, the president of China as agreements reached on fentanyl and military charges. So I wanna know what you guys think about this. We had Xi Jinping, the president of China in San Francisco this week to sit down with Biden. He came to America and they're obviously talking about a lot of different things. One of the things they're talking about is the fact that there is fentanyl products being made in China. Products that are going into fentanyl that are being made in China. They wanna talk about reducing some of those products. And they also talked about military communication. They talked about, there was some weird conversations because after their meeting, Biden actually called Xi a dictator. I thought that was odd. I'm like, you guys just shook hands and you're sitting down and apparently having good positive talks, but Biden goes and calls Xi a dictator. So what did you guys think about these meetings? King Earl, I'd love to hear your opinion.   Okay, he got nothing and did nothing while talking to the most important guy in all of Asia for the most part that's been running attack strategies against Taiwan, wanting to take over, has communistic power, talking about bricks, and the guy walks out calling Xi Jinping a dictator. I'm more interested in what Xi Jinping and Elon Musk talked about than what Xi Jinping and this freaking goofball who sits in the White House said. Because this goofball here did nothing for freaking communications as far as actual Pelosi flying over, the damage done from that, did nothing for repairing anything going on with Taiwan, did nothing as far as communications with securities in the UN and NATO or anything that's left up for them violating air spaces or them sending freaking balloons into American airspace. You got this cockamamie guy here more worried about the American people being poisoned while they're being bombed. I mean, give for real, you know, Elon Musk came directly out of the meeting and immediately said freedom and free speech, it's amazing. So I don't even, you know, that could mean one of two things.  All right, King Earl's not holding back. Nash Cowboy, what do you think about Mr. President of the biggest, most powerful country in the world, Joe Biden meeting the biggest other president on the other side of the world, Xi Jinping, the president of China was in San Francisco and Joe Biden wanted to talk about fentanyl and called him a dictator. What do you think about this? Whoo, well, this, I'm 100% with Earl on that.  I wouldn't even call him a president. It makes me sad that he's sitting in the office in our country, like the whole world's laughing at us. The guy is, it doesn't even make sense that he would even bring this up. Like, yeah, we have a huge fentanyl problem. Yeah, the stuff is made in China, all right? But where's it coming through? It's coming right through the Mexican border, all right? That he has wide open. As a matter of fact, assisting them over here. Like, it's nuts. The whole thing is, it's all smoke and mirrors. Just, again, it just makes me sick, the whole thing. The guy needs to grow a set of coronas downstairs and actually do something productive for our country rather than tear it apart. If you ask me, the only reason he met with him is to collect another check to funnel through a shell corporations that's already been proven and bring our country down even farther. That's my personal opinion. FJV. Wow, okay, that's Cabo and I'm holding back. And Blaze, what do you think, Mr. President? Did you have a successful meeting with Xi Jinping, the president of China, the two biggest world powers met this week? Well, Franco is a touchy situation and military communication as well. I don't think it was the biggest one between both countries, but I think it was just a cop out plea that they were talking about, you know, because I don't think Biden's even interested in even pleading with these people, even doing anything with them. So I just think it was a played out thing. It wasn't his call, it was all his advisors. And at this point I got to stick up to Joe Biden on this one because he's a puppet. So not FJV, it's F his advisors because he is being led by his strings. And if he can't see his arms go up with a little fishing line over there when he's doing his thing on the podium, I mean, come on, man, he's not doing it. It's the people around him that are controlling him.   That's my opinion. Okay, very good, very good. Everybody being very, very opinionated on Joe Biden and nobody really on this panel really likes him. That's what we can tell for sure. And the question now is how much does America like him and how much does America like Donald Trump? So let's talk about Donald Trump. So Donald Trump and the judge has temporarily lift the gag order in Trump's civil fraud trial. So Trump's obviously going through, it seems like he's going through trials every day. It's like the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Like I've never seen a witch hunt for a president like this ever, anywhere. I don't even know how it's legal, but this is what's happening in America right now. The president seems like he's on a really bad trajectory because he's constantly in court and that's taking away his ability to focus on his presidency. So what do you guys think about the fact that the judge temporarily lifts the gag order in Trump's civil fraud trial, which essentially means he can talk. And they're actually giving freedom of speech back. Weird, freedom of speech in a democracy. What do you think about this Earl? I think the judge finally pulled his head from his rear dairy air and figured out that he was breaking the man's rights. I mean, how can you tell someone not to speak?  Really slapping fines on someone because they're choosing to talk. But you know, it might be from manipulative purposes that he might be trying to get him to hang himself with his own words again and continue to find him because he knows he ain't gonna win the case. So he might as well get as much money as he can, right? With whatever he says. But, you know, it's just a freaking dog and pony show and I'm tired of it. Just let the man go, let the man make America great again and, you know, quit with the fricking posturing, you know, and trying to divide the country on it. You know, it's, oh, it's embarrassing at this point. That's what it is. I mean, you know, the next topic as well, you know, it's just retaliation for what went on while he was in office and it wasn't even what he did, but what the people in this party did. But, you know, it's just fricking embarrassing at this point. Yeah, it definitely is very embarrassing. Nash Cowboy, what do you think about this? The judge removing the gag order in the Trump trial? Well, I'm mother-old again on that one. I do believe that maybe the judges here in the whole fricking world, because it's everywhere talking about, they're trying to silence this freedom of speech, you know, this and that. I think any kind of gag order in a case like this should be illegal. And to my opinion, it is illegal because it is a violation of speech, freedom of speech. No, I don't, they need to just give up. They know they don't have anything on them. They're trying to do all kinds of things. They're just don't- Trying to bankrupt him. Yeah, they're trying to bring him to his knees and get him to just tap out. And Donald Trump was not that kind of person.  Even if they did take all his money, he still wouldn't tap up. It's just, it's despicable what they're doing to try and keep him going on in this presidential race because he is leading in every fricking poll out there. They know that if it's a fair election and there's no tampering with the whole Dominion system there, the, they know they don't have a shot. They don't. It's not even possible.  I think it's election fraud. I think that's a big one. I think they should be tried for tampering with the 2024 election. All right, those are big statements. Blaze, what do you think about this? Judge temporarily lives gag order in the Trump trial, giving him the ability to essentially have freedom of speech. So the judge went home, put his ego in the bag and realized your first amendment, your very first amendment, freedom of speech. How will you a judge if you don't know what the first amendment is? I don't get it. You know, he knows his jobs in the ropes.  Maybe Trump gets in and says, hey, I appreciate you let me talk again, but you're still fired. So at the end of the day, look at Trump's election. He said, it's hard for him to focus on election. He's in court every day. What are you talking about? He's in court every day. That is benefiting Trump. He's getting more votes in the end because more people support him now because of what they're doing to him.  So, you know, at the end of the day, Trump's in a solid position in his life right now and this is benefiting him.  Salute, end of story. That's an interesting take. And I kind of, I like some of your points. You definitely brought up some good points there. Now, I wanna talk about this, there's the next topic. This to me is even more crazy. So now, they just wanna keep him in court forever, clearly. So the Georgia prosecutor proposes starting Trump's criminal trial in August 2024, which means he will be on trial while he's running for president in November. What do you guys think about this? Like pretty odd timing, would you think? That they're trying to time it exactly when he's gonna be running?  So why are they putting him on trial while he's running? Like it doesn't get any more crazier than this. Like this guy is literally must-see TV. What do you think about this, Earl? They're trying to do the same thing that he did to Hillary Clinton or that they did to Hillary Clinton during her trial when she was running up for her presidential candidacy instead of them pushing it forward or speeding it up, they're trying to pull it back and keep it right before the election and it's apparent what they're doing. And like I said, it's a dog and pony show and it's just retaliatory acts for what happened while he was in presidency and it's fricking deplorable of them. All right. And Nash Cowboy, what do you think about this news? I think you're right. I think it was perfect timing to try and destroy him even more.  It's crazy. I'm about right now. I'm about right now. Georgia has one of the crookedest state governments that there is. It's already been proven in a smaller election that again, the Dominion machines were way off. There was a senator or governor or something there that brought to their attention that she demanded a recount because there was no votes in her county which her and her husband voted for herself. So there was obvious for us that she demanded a recount and I believe she won. But they will do whatever it takes for August right before the election, come on. You can't get any more obvious than that. They should also be tried for trying to tamper with the election. As far as I'm concerned, Trump would be a better president behind bars than anything we have right now. Anything in the current administration. So Trump 2024. All right, Blaise, what do you think about this? Don't you think, and I agree with everything that Nash Annerles said, I think it's just crazy that they're trying to bury him in legal fees and legal focus, which is never good if anyone's been in court. It's stressful, it's expensive. It's, there's nothing good that comes out of it. And at the same time, he's trying to run for president. So obviously that is a huge ordeal trying to run America, trying to win an election to run the most powerful country in the world that's being run essentially poorly by Joe Biden. And people have had enough, but yet he's being thrown into court constantly and the timing is terrible. So Blaise, what do you think about this? I mean, I'm gonna go back to the other question, it was similar. Like this is a benefit for Trump. It is in no means ever gonna happen. It's not gonna hurt his wallet.  And there's about 80% of America right there. So Trump, 80 to 20 in the end, boom, end of story. Wow, even with the cheating and the polls. Well, that's the whole thing. You know what I mean? If you go up to people in New York city and you ask 10 people, Trump or Biden, I'm almost willing to bet every set of 10, nine Trump, one Biden, if you're lucky because they feel bad for them. Come down to Florida, ask the same question. It will be all Trump go to the West Coast. It's still gonna be the same way. That's how it goes. All right, so we all agree on that. Let's talk about this war in the Ukraine, which nobody's even talking about anymore. Everyone's forgot about it, despite the fact that the United States has sent over $100 billion there. Putin's brutal war on Ukraine vanishes from the news coverage amid raging conflict in Gaza. That means Zelensky isn't gonna get any more money and there's no more news coverage. What do you think about this, Earl? What's going on? Is there even a war in the Ukraine anymore? Well, we already know there is. There's been certain strategical movements going on between Russia, Germany, and other parts of the globe over there around the Baltic area that has been realized and movements have been done. So there's still strategical movements going on. There's still war going on just because it's not being talked about. I mean, let's look at the Hawaii fires. Those still happen and they're still recovering from that, but where's all the news coverage? Just because it's there doesn't mean it's not getting funded. It's just not in the limelight. I view we're still gonna continue to fund it. And if it's not in the limelight, maybe America won't care how much we're actually sending them without them telling us because they'll just wrap it into a supply package for war, for Israel. It's just gonna be behind the scenes. Another way for Biden to collect another paycheck.  Well, I'm to the first day when he was supposed to be on the front line with his troops, the people who are rallying. Where the frick is his army? Because they weren't run out. I think more people, civilians are protecting Ukraine these days than the frickin' military is.  Nashka, what do you think about this? Since this thing started, I've seen too many fallacies in it. You asked, is there still a war going on? My question is, was there ever one? I'm definitely on the conspiracy side of this. It's, to me, the whole thing is about embezzling money. And that's just it. This guy cuts, this guy check, this guy cuts, this guy check. Somehow $40 million ends up backing Biden's pocket. Yeah, I think it's all a scam myself. The focus on Israel is gonna take away from that media cause that's what's currently hot and selling. And it's all about selling. Selling makes money. They will definitely continue funding it. Like Earl said, they're gonna wrap it in some Israel bill. I get $50 billion more, they get $50 billion. Before you know it, every person has to work for nothing. The government provides everything for us. And that's the whole plan, in my opinion. So poverty brings power, brings down taxes to death and then various in the end. Prophets over people, baby. This is what the big governments do. This is what big corporations do. It's profits over people. Now, let's go to Blaze. Blaze, what do you think about this situation? It seems like the war in Ukraine is not getting any coverage anymore. Zelensky's frustrated. He's not getting the coverage he desires when he watches CNN. They're not talking about it enough. What do you think about this? Well, we got Florida for about four million. Looks like we're getting a quarter of the Ukraine for a hundred billion. I mean, inflation, right? Honestly, we're just prepaying for a base, a couple of bases over there for protection of our soldiers. And yeah, we're just buying some real estate, guys. That's all it is. They're not gonna tell us. Because Russia is actually right down there in Cuba below Florida. They got a nice position to move on the chessboard. So the pawns all over there. Now, America is coming back with, well, we'll help the Ukraine because they're right on your border and we're gonna be on your doorstep in case you try and knock on us. That's all what it's all about, guys. They're playing chess. A hundred billion dollars is nothing, honestly, for what they're gonna get out of it in the end. So yeah, they're gonna get paid gracefully in land and military base over there. That's my call. All right, now, those are great perspectives. I love hearing from you guys. Now, this is the next question. Joe Biden says Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under Palestinian authority. So this is touchy because Israel is pretty much controlling those areas. But Joe Biden is suggesting that Gaza and West Bank should be reunited under Palestinian authority and reiterates a call for a two-state solution, which was the solution that we had before and obviously it wasn't working. What do you guys think about this? Do you agree with Joe Biden, King Earl? I can actually say yes, I agree with Joe Biden on this situation only because I've been freaking saying it since day one. But the thing is, is that there's things that need to happen so that this can actually take place, right?   I mean, if somebody in communism, California was launching freaking rockets into the center of the US, I wouldn't expect Arizona to have to go freaking take care of it or Mexico to have to freaking go take care of it. I would expect the United States to step up and go in there and police its own people. And the same thing should be happening over there. I mean, it's just simple. I mean, the thing is that Israel has the capability of blowing Gaza straight off the map and just leaving it as an inland water fountain, right? And they have the capability of doing it and they don't. But if you give those same capabilities to the other side, it's apparent what they would do in the situation. But the problem is, is that Palestine needs to be responsible for Palestine and quit freaking cowering away from Hamas and quit trying to start wars just to win a freaking election because that is what started this entire freaking thing. It's what started in the 80s.  And it's just step movement by them because they're scared of Hamas as going to win the election for the cabinet. And then it was rigged anyway so they didn't win and they canceled the freaking election and then blamed it on a church fire just to launch support for freaking Palestine when are you supporting Palestine or are you supporting Hamas in the situation? And then the whole Middle Eastern world is in a tundrum because of Iran can't get their stockpile through because the US decided they was gonna put a bunch of battleships into the sea and keep the stockpiles of missiles and rockets and changing stockpiles of stuff coming from Iran to help Hamas because that's where the funding was coming from and we all know it. And that's why we put a freaking battleship there. Paid goods and they can't do it.  But Palestine needs to clean its own crap up and police its own people up and they need to talk with Israel about getting passage back and forth even if it's monitored because Palestine can't be trusted either. But they need to go in and take care of it or they need to give Gaza to Israel while Israel gives the West Bank to freaking Palestine or a little bit more territory. That way it's not separated.  All right, King Earl, we appreciate your opinion there and I can tell you're very emotional about it and passionate about it. And I know you've served for America and you've served your country. So you know a thing or two about war because you've been in these wars. Nash Cowboy, what's your perspective on this? My personal opinion is a two-state solution didn't work when Britain came up with it. And I don't think it will ever work letting them control everything. In my opinion, Gaza will always be the case of doing what happened. And you can't have part of Palestine here and part of Palestine here. There needs to be a complete separation. I say give Israel Gaza.  So I'm sure Israel will probably be graceful again and let them keep it again.  But I think it would be a lot better if Israel just took control of Gaza and left it that way, give them land somewhere else or something, even set them up somewhere, be graceful and set them up somewhere else, give them another little chuckle land whatever it takes. But what we do know is something's gotta be done because this has been going on for thousands of years. I mean, it's not something new. And I just pray that something, some kind of solution does happen soon because there's definitely a lot of innocent people dying on both sides and something's gotta be done about that. But you can't blame Israel for retaliating. Just like Earl said, if that happened here, I would expect our military to go balls deep and on attacking the, opposition there. So, I mean, I can't blame them, although there's definitely a lot going on that needs to stop just for the sake of the innocent. All right, Nash Cowboy, what do you gotta say about this place? I completely agree with Earl, police your own people. I definitely agree with Nash. There's a lot of bloodshed on innocent people. But in the end, guys, look, if that was the United States of America, in Mexico, came over to border and started slaying people would probably have half a Mexico blown right off the map. So, it's a tough situation, but in this case, man, you know, Israel gotta do what they gotta do.  I'm surprised they didn't blow them out the map already. So, unless Palestine starts policing their own neighborhood and gets rid of these people, it looks like they're going along with them, unfortunately. So, yeah, you gotta police your own people. You gotta clean your own neighborhood up. Everybody's got their own neighborhood and if I see something wrong outside my door, I'm gonna do something about it. But down the street, John and Joe out there are gonna take care of that, unless something happens, what's going on out there. But at the end, just make sure you take care of your own and keep them in line. Lay the law down. There's more than there is Hamas, you know what I mean? I agree 100%. Hamas is really the ones destroying Palestine. It's not Israel. I got one more topic and we only got a couple minutes left. So, this last topic is, if you guys can see the screen, the first ever flying car. Check it out, the first ever flying car took its flight. What do you guys think about flying cars? Would you guys be for this? Do you like this? Do you think it's a good idea? I don't understand how it would work. Like our airspace, like if there was flying cars everywhere, like if there was an accident, they'd be falling on top of us. How does that work? How does this even really work? Love to know what you guys think. Are you guys for this, against this? Are you into flying cars? Would you buy one? What do you think, Earl? Start with you. It's our last question. I think this is old news. I mean, Mr. Beast has already flown in one. It ain't the first flight. I mean, it's been around already for over 10 years.  I mean, it's already been out there. It's non-relevant to what's going on in the world. Do I agree that the skyways are less bumpy than the freeway? Well, not when you hit turbulence, but we'll have to see on that and work with FAA regulations and airspace regulations. And who knows when a flying car would be flying over the United States and monitoring our military bases like a Chinese space balloon.  Okay. Nash Cowboy, what do you think about this? You into this? You think this is a good idea? Nah, like Earl said, I mean, they're claiming that's the first one, but there's actually been others. Actually watching YouTube videos on some others that were years ago. And to me, that's just a plan. Like, let's face the facts there. It's got wings that are definitely bigger than our road lanes. So I wouldn't classify it as a car. It's just a different shape plane than me. And they're just trying to say it's a car. They seem pretty happy about it, but I think it's the dumbest idea in the world. Until you get to where something, I'm not against the thought of technology progressing to an airborne craft of some sort. But let's face the facts, people can't drive right now, let alone plot. So maybe something that you can get in that might lift you up magnetically or whatever and take you directly to your destination and no sensor-wise where you're going and I have to even control it. Maybe? I don't know. But that plane car is not the answer. All right, Blaze, the last comment of the evening, what do you think about this flying car? Is it for it? You against it? You think it's a good idea? Would you like to have one? What's your opinion? It's a low-flying compact airplane. So that's not a car. It's got wings, okay?  That might make more sense a hundred years from now. But the way technology is going probably 50, but that is not a car. That is garbage. I wouldn't drive that if you gave me one. And it's hard enough to get a license to drive on the street than it is to get one of those airplane licenses. Not to mention the fact, Earl's always driving around the country and he's got wind that's blowing a huge 18-wheeler at times.  It's going to crash into a building and it's going to be, no, that's a mess. They got to get rid of that thing.  Gavage. Okay, thank you guys for your opinions. We are finally done with our show, the 26th episode of the Bull and Bear Show. Wish everyone a great week. Let's continue the momentum in crypto. Bitcoin is still doing well as we are live. Ethereum is sitting at 2005. Bitcoin is sitting at $37,289. So wishing everyone a great week. Nash Cowboy, King Earl, Blaze, guys go and subscribe to all three of their channels. Follow them all over social media. Thank you for joining us and thank you for watching. Happy Thanksgiving, USA. Boom. Yes, happy Thanksgiving everyone in America. Wish everyone a great week and we'll be back next week and next week we're going to have a one-on-one with Nash Cowboy. Uh-oh, uh-oh.  All right guys, have a great day. Thank you for joining us. We'll see you guys next week. Peace. Much love guys.


One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes. One woman dies of breast cancer every six minutes. While breast cancer is more common in older women, in recent years the number of cases are increasing in younger women too. One in every 28 women is likely to develop breast cancer during her lifetime. For every two women detected with breast cancer, one woman succumbs to it.  Routine screenings help to detect breast cancer early. This early detection leads to better chances of survival with lesser treatment costs. Every day more than 2000 women die unnecessarily because of late detection of breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer can save so many lives because it improves the treatment efficacy and also reduces the treatment cost and the person can be very healthy even after a surgery. Unfortunately, in a country like India we lose half of the women detected with breast cancer, 50% mortality rate. How can we reduce this? This can only be reduced if we can enable regular screening with a device that can detect early cancer. Regular screening may be every year at every alternate year for every person. But that's very expensive because a mammography which is the default standard for breast cancer can be as high as 80 lakh rupees. How many villages can afford this device? Secondly, it cannot work on women under 45 years of age and unfortunately in India many, many women less than 40 years, less than 45 years are getting detected with breast cancer. This problem is definitely serious and needed to be addressed. Geeta Manjunath, founder of Niramai took it upon herself to do the needful. So in order to address this problem at Niramai we have developed a new method of detecting breast cancer where we just measure the temperature variations on the chest using an infrared imaging device. It measures four lakh temperature points per person and we have developed an artificial intelligence-based solution which analyzes these four lakh temperature points and generates a report which says whether there's an abnormality. If there is an abnormality, what is the probability that it is actually cancer and where is it so that a follow-up diagnostic workup can be done at that particular area. All this is done completely automatically using computer aided analysis of temperature maps. The screening process is completed in three simple steps. Step one, obtain patient's details. A trained female technician will explain you the process. The test is initiated after you give your consent to perform the screening. The technician will request you to share your relevant medical history and any complaints. Step two, cooling down. You will be required to undress your upper body in a private screening room. You will be seated on a rotating stool in front of an AC or a cooler for about 10 minutes. Step three, capturing thermal images. A thermal sensing device will be placed about three feet in front of you. The technician will be outside the screening room to maintain your privacy. The technician will capture your thermal images in these five positions. Please follow the instructions given by the technician to help her take the images. Imaging will just take two to three minutes. After that, you can dress up and come out. At any point during the screening procedure, feel free to ask the technician for assistance. You will receive your breast health report within one working day. This method is completely unique. Nobody in this world has it. This is a Made in India product and it's making a huge difference in the world as well. It's very simple. The lady just enters into a room. She closes the door and then removes her clothes. Nobody sees her without clothes. Just measuring temperature. There is no radiation, no pain, no compression. She sits there inside the room for about 10 minutes and comes out her report will be ready. This test can be conducted by even simple health workers. Don't need doctors to do the initial screening. Only when somebody is found to have an abnormality, then they can be brought to a hospital. Think about it. There are so many women in the villages. Can we get everyone to a hospital to do this high expensive screening every year? Impossible. So we have developed this portable method which can be put into a backpack. You can take it out and do rural screening camps in villages and even at places like temples or houses itself. And without touching the person or seeing the person, you can detect whether she has an abnormality. The benefits of this method are many fold. It can be used on women of all ages and also for women having dense breasts. It detects abnormal areas in the breast at a very early stage. It is radiation free. It just measures your temperature. This is no touch, no see private screening procedure. The cost per screening is significantly lower as compared to existing screening tests. Thermalytics has higher sensitivity than X-ray based tests. The test can be used by any person above the age of 18 years with or without the symptoms. It enables post surgery follow-ups and monitoring during treatment procedures. In Kalburgi district of Karnataka, we did a screening for 4,000 women. Only 76 had to be brought to a hospital. How much money you have saved, how much effort you have saved, how much discomfort you have saved, right? Because every day matters for the villages because every day they are earning money. We cannot simply bring everybody. And out of this 70, so many women had cancer and they have been treated. Same thing in Punjab. We did about 8,000 women. So like this, in many, many villages we have done this screening. It is available in 200 plus hospitals, diagnostic centers in 30 cities of India and we have made an impact for more than 1 lakh women so far. It is a very unique solution made in India. We have 31 granted international patents. To prove that something is unique, you have to file a patent and there will be lots of people reviewing it, experts reviewing it to grant the patent. Now we have 12 granted Indian patents, 11 granted US patents, and other patents in China, Japan, Singapore, Canada, Germany and recently in Europe also we got a patent. So all of these patents show that it is a unique solution developed in India for the world. With this smallest of the small cancers can be detected, again without touching the person, without seeing the person. So many women have loved taking this test and we have been able to save thousands of women from getting detected with late breast cancer and by treating them early, we have really saved many, many lives. Innovators like Geeta Manjunath are coming up with innovative solutions to problems which persist for a very long time and thus contributing their bit in making the world a better place to live.


Patriarchy is a word that can be used in different ways to mean different things. The normal sense of it or the sense that I usually use is a system in which women are objectified and become objects or even property, either fully or partially. So patriarchy is part of a larger movement, a larger historical movement, toward the progressive objectification and propertization of more and more things. So land, for example, ideas, animals and plants, I mentioned intellectual property already, and then other people. Once the idea of property is born, then it's under the impetus of a monetizing economy. More and more things enter the realm of property. So I think it's kind of a natural historical development. It happened all over the place, independently. It arose independently in pretty much every culture that took the road of civilization, any culture that developed social classes and division of labor and a mass society. Kind of the same things happened everywhere. They began building pyramids and monuments. They began having slavery. They had patriarchy. I mean, it happened in China. It happened in India. It happened in Greece. It happened in the Americas, everywhere. So on the one hand, I see it as a part of a larger process that is hopefully, I believe, is in a moment of metamorphosis, transitioning to a post-patriarchal world, and at the same time, ultimately a world where not just women, but all of the things that we've objectified are brought back into the realm of the sacred. And so that's kind of one way to understand patriarchy. But maybe you might understand that as a shadow of patriarchy. I'd like to think about, whenever I think about any of the sick, dysfunctional institutions of our culture, whether it's something like patriarchy or the police or lawyers or the military or something like that, I like to think, what is their next incarnation? What about them could have a place in a more beautiful world? So is there something valid and beautiful about patriarchy that could exist alongside matriarchy, that seeks the elevation of the male principle to its highest expressions in a way that people would look up to it with so much respect that it would exercise the archical function, the ordering function onto the world? So it would be no longer about exerting dominance over lesser subjects that are accorded a lesser degree of humanity, and it would be no longer about doing the same to the world and exerting dominance over everything. What would it be then? And this gets into very, very sensitive territory, because after thousands of years of toxic, brutal patriarchy, any hint that there is such a thing as a masculine principle is met with great suspicion, because it seems that once you start saying that men are different from women, then you're setting the stage for male domination over women. Different in what way? Better, stronger, smarter, whatever, like more suited to something and not something else, like you're setting the stage for domination. So right now we're in a stage where any enunciation of a essential gender difference is decried as essentialism. And the understanding in vogue today is that gender, masculinity, femininity are cultural constructs and not real. And maybe that is a necessary stage as we deprogram from the old story of gender and have not yet entered into a new story of gender. Maybe we need to be in a place where we say, oh yeah, yeah, it's not even real and to be suspicious of any attempt to essentialize masculinity or femininity or any attempt to say, here's what it is and here's what it isn't for fear that that will just lend itself to the continuation of this toxic patriarchy that we've been living in. So yeah, maybe that's a stage and maybe I shouldn't even try to question that. But I guess from what I've said, it's pretty clear that I do think that the archetypes of masculine and feminine are more than just cultural constructs, that these archetypes are beings in and of themselves that are translated through different cultures in different ways, but are not human inventions. Just like all of our stories, indigenous people often have confirmed this or resonated with this in my conversations with them about gender. They're like, yeah, we don't make our stories. We didn't invent gender. So in that view, the question then becomes, what does gender want to become as our civilization changes? What is a new story of masculinity or a new story of femininity? And it's maybe premature to really venture there too much, or maybe I'll just say that I'm nervous to do that just because all of a sudden here I am, the white male proclaiming that I am different because I'm male or something like that. And maybe it's not quite time for that. But I feel like a lot of men, speaking from my own gender, that a lot of men are really seeking some kind of positive expression of masculinity that isn't just an abandonment of masculinity, and it isn't the feminization of masculinity, but that embraces and develops qualities that feel core to who they are, not only as human beings, but as men. So that I could go on and say, I could add a lot of disclaimers. For example, that men and women both carry masculine and feminine principles, that there are exceptions to the binary division, that any binary actually admits to exceptions that do not necessarily invalidate the binary, and that the exceptions can illuminate the binary itself, and can remind us not to turn it into yet another totalizing paradigm, totalizing categorization of the world, to hold our categories lightly, but to be able to use them where they are useful. But right now, there's just so much pain and trauma and grief and rage that needs to come out, that some of this theorizing about a healthy masculine and a next incarnation of patriarchy that's alongside matriarchy and so on and so forth, like a lot of times that can just become an escape valve from really facing the rage and pain and hurt and grief and trauma that women have been experiencing and are still experiencing. So a lot of this is not about an intellectual understanding of things. It's about allowing healing to happen, allowing the stories to be heard. I think that's the first priority. Once the stories have been heard, once some of that rage and grief has been cleared, then the field will be clear for the emergence of a healthy story of a man. Right now, maybe kind of premature. There's really important work to be done. So I think that the Me Too movement has a really, there's something really healthy about it because it's allowing hidden things to come to light. And then it can also be turned toward perpetuating the status quo, like so many other healing movements. It can become about find the bad guy, attack the bad guy, tear them down, arouse rage against the perpetrators and destroy those people, dehumanizing the perpetrator in the same way that patriarchy has dehumanized women. My friend Pat McCabe, who's a DNA woman, AKA Navajo and student of the Lakota Way, she shared this vision with me that I've heard to speak on it publicly. So I'll share it here that many men and women have found very powerful.   And their faces are like masks. They're like their stone. They have no expression. They're not even coming with enmity and hatred.  And she asked in this vision, she asked the spirit, what happened? How did this happen? And she got taken back to the witch hunts, where an archetypal wound was inflicted on women for sure when they were dragged off, dragged off all the herbalists and storytellers and so forth and burned them at the stake. And she said, it also inflicted an archetypal wound on men, because in her view, a core imperative for men is to protect the precious women. That a man, this is something I've noticed too, that it's in men's nature, maybe with some generalization here, to give your life to protect the mother of your children, because they can get along without you, maybe, but they can't get along without their mom. And so you had the Aurora theater shooting, where four of the people who died there were boyfriends who stepped in front of their girlfriends to take the bullet. Like this is something that is second nature to a healthy masculine. And so here in the witch hunts you have, and that was my addition to it. Pat didn't talk about the Aurora shootings, but I'm just kind of fleshing this out a little bit. So you have, during the witch hunts, for every woman who was dragged off and burned at the stake, you had their fathers, their husbands, their sons, who were helpless to stop it, and who were even made to watch. And she says that that wound to the masculine has been passed down, generation after generation after generation. So what I take from this, there's a lot of healing to be done. In fact, nobody has benefited from the patriarchy. Sometimes I think that men have been hurt even more than women. Women, at least, can still cry. They're still allowed to cry. But for men, the cutoff, like the cutoff that has to happen to survive that archetypal wound, and it wasn't just the witch hunts. This has been happening everywhere where so-called civilization has reigned in one form or another. The cutoff that's necessary to survive that is profound. This is not to play into what Lauren called the victim Olympics and to claim, well, men have suffered just as much as women, so therefore, nothing needs to be done. Therefore, there's no injustice to repair. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying that if you are realistic about healing the world, serving the next step of healing, you got to understand the situation. The situation is that everybody is living in a legacy of trauma that's been transmitted culturally, transmitted genetically. And we're not going to have real healing if anybody goes unhealed, perpetrators and victims, both. So what do you want to do? Do you want to be right?  Or do you want to heal? Heal the world.


Inflammation of central nervous system, CNS, is usually associated with trauma and infection. Neuro inflammation occurs in close relation to trauma, infection, and neurodegenerative diseases. Low-level neuro inflammation is considered to have beneficial effects whereas chronic neuro inflammation can be harmful. In an immune system consisting of pattern recognition receptors, macrophages, and complement system plays a key role in CNS homeostasis following injury and inflection. Here we discuss how innate immune components can also contribute to neuro inflammation and neurodegeneration. This article was authored by Apishek Shostri, Domenico Marco Bonafati and Eide Kishore.


Welcome back to news on I'm going to welcome back our panel joining us once again the CEO of stocks who's Melissa Armo also with us Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Mike Murphy. Thank you both for sticking around so Right before the break I was talking about Republican lawmakers kind of taking matters into their own hands writing this letter to go fund me This after that crowdfunding Platform took down and kind of froze those donations if you will that were going to the freedom Convoy citing that they were violent And then they received some threats of lawsuits and they decided to unfreeze those But will this letter make any difference in your opinion, Melissa? I Don't know if it's going to make a difference because they're going to do what they're going to do And I think that there was some scubble But last week when they said that they were not going to automatically refund the money after they froze that they were Going to require people to request it and if they didn't they were going to give it to you other Things of their choice I think that is one of the reasons that they came back and said no no will refund the money but again I have very little faith and in the Republican caucus to do anything because they just seem to be so weak When anything happens and really never stand up to and his people look at what Trump's used to say about Social media and then what happened going into the 2020 election and then fast forward here We are a year and a half from now so do I think anything's going to come of it Do I think you're going to do anything with it? Absolutely not well, there was a threat and it was by you know the governor of Florida also the governor of Texas saying that's fraud that you Can't do that make people have to fill out paperwork In order to get a refund They were going to freeze those and then allow supposedly that the people organizing freedom convoy to pick another charity And that's what was going to happen and then they decided to get involved these attorneys and threaten legal action And that's when they switched everything, but what do you think is going to happen Mike anything? From the Republican side. No, this this entire party has been weak We've we've lost our way as conservatives and we're caving into the woke mob That's out there and we're letting the media control our lives with their narratives that the Democrats are pushing We have to have strong leaders elected into these positions that are willing to do the bold things that are needed And I'm really happy that governor DeSantis and governor Abbott Took a step and had their attorney generals draft these letters to investigate these organizations like go fund me Because let's talk about all the money that BLM and Antifa raised through these organizations that just magically disappeared without any trace Where is that at? Where are those investigations? But instead we're going after freedom-loving Canadians and freedom-loving Americans Who are standing up to these mandates and the tyranny that the government is creating? Joe Biden is clueless his administration's lost We have no direction from them at all where they're going and I feel like the country is running in a million different directions with no real leadership whatsoever Yeah, the difference between BLM and the difference between the freedom convoy is so far today The freedom convoy has not committed any acts of violence BLM organizations and Antifa committed acts of violence in the city of New York I saw it myself and I saw other cities Where they committed acts of violence on TV, but I saw it live myself in New York City. So that is a fact It is and it all stemmed here in Minneapolis under the failures of governor Tim walls He let them burn our cities down 1500 buildings and in a billion dollars worth of damage and 700 police officers injured But yet he kowtows to him and when the Reverend Al Sharpton shows up in the town He rolls out the red carpet for him Minnesotans are sick and tired of it and so are Americans across the country. They're tired of the nonsense of the left And one more update to that also an Ontario cord has a freeze access to give Senko That's the other crowdfunding platform where all the donations kind of switched Although they're fighting that saying look we're an American company and you have no right to do that So we're going to continue to follow that story But I do want to switch gears now and talk about Ukraine because that is continuing to make headlines So you a secretary of state Anthony Blinken Warning Americans and Ukraine to get out and to get out now While meeting with his counterparts from India Japan Australia Just this morning America's top diplomat laid out just essentially a timeline for potential Russian evasion on the Western Neighbor and they say a picture, you know is worth a thousand words. We've all heard that expression Well, there's new satellite images you can see them right there on your screen showing that Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't appear to be merely just bluffing here You can actually see those forces moving towards Ukraine This image in particular shows several significant new military deployments across the region including the arrival of more than 550 troop tents and equipment and hundreds of vehicles in Crimea and If that were to happen A lot of Americans are on edge on whether US troops will actually go into Ukraine that has been the focus of our question Here is what the president told Lester Holt What are your plans toward American citizens who are in Ukraine and might be there during an invasion? What scenarios would you put American troops to rescue and get Americans out? There's not that's a world war when Americans and Russians start shooting at one another We're in a very different world than we've ever been not even on behalf of simply evacuating Americans. No, how do you do that? How do you even find them? So you may recall that's a very different message What the president said when it came to the situation in Afghanistan take a listen. How about our Afghan allies? We have about 80,000 That's not too high. That's too high. How many we're giving us somewhere between 50 to 65,000 folks So you may recall back then he said, you know, I don't care about the deadline. We're gonna continue to go in there and go after You know our allies and Americans that are stranded there. He's not saying that here again The situation is different. We were trying to leave a war now He's trying to avoid a war at least according to his words and he believes that sending us troops there would basically be provocation How concerned are you Mike that we could be headed towards another world war? And what do you think about the president's decision to say right there in front of all to see that he will not send? American forces in there, even if it means risking the lives of other Americans Look, I don't think we're going to war with Russia But I mean Biden gave Russia his pipeline. He gave Vladimir Putin his pipeline the first week. He was in office We're not going to go to war with Russia. This is all posturing You know, the economy here is failing in the United States So we have to have something that distracts the current situation that's going on with inflation supply chains Covet everything you name it that Joe Biden Kamala Harris, they're not equipped to handle a war with with with Russia whatsoever Our material our military is feeling the strain. There is no trust in Joe Biden's administration It would be a botched attempt to even defend Ukraine We know that he's not going to go save Americans whatsoever They have a hundred thousand Russian troops on the border and yesterday they were performing military exercises with 30,000 troops There is no way that we're going to be able to compete with this situation That's going on with Russia whatsoever and do it effectively and safely without an all out world war But it doesn't surprise me that Joe Biden is not going to go rescue Americans when he left thousands of Americans still stranded in Afghanistan today Melissa your thoughts Well, I disagree with Mike that there's no chance that we go to war with Russia. I think it's a huge possibility and You know, obviously China would side with Russia and any type of world war and that would be really bad I think it would be bad for the entire world as far as the ground war We wouldn't win a ground war in Russia during the middle of winter over there And again, they'd get China's help. So all of this is really really scary times for them to even Even be Discussing this in any way or even hinting that this is a possibility. I think is problematic After what happened in Afghanistan when they didn't get all the Americans out of there If someone was an American and they're in Ukraine, I'd get out of there because they're not going to come get you and they're not going to come save you So I think it's a problem I think the market has already had different sell off reactions to that when we've heard news on Russia Over the course of the last few weeks and I think that the market is also taking into account the fact that we could have a problem And an escalation over there and that's why we're nowhere near the highs. It's not just the inflation numbers as well I think that it would be a terrible thing to be in any type of war with biden at the helm and I I don't know What's going to happen. I really really don't I don't know why they're they're not trying to de-escalate it They're almost trying to escalate it because they're egging Putin on I Curious to know what you our viewers at home think about that that is the focus of our question today You heard what our panel had to say about that and just want to mention again The white house now assigning the vice president to leave the charge if you will To handle the situation in Ukraine Do you mind if I make one more quick comment? Real quick because we got five seconds. The only reason why I can see us going to war is getting the war machine going for the The economy boosting aspect of it and that's it, but there's no way america could could ever get through it Alrighty, thank you so much. We'll have to leave it there. It's a burning question Everyone wants to know who's keeping track of a legal immigrants. We'll be right back


So the measurement of long-run household wealth is extremely important for us as researchers but it is difficult to do and what people have tried to do so far is to construct asset indices based on durable goods ownership from household surveys and although a range of different indices exist the underlying theory connected with the different indices are somewhat informal and this is this is problematic because it doesn't help us decide how to choose between the different indices when they give us different results in terms of identifying which households are poor, the levels of poverty and how poverty has changed over time. So in my work I basically propose an alternative asset index which is based directly on economic theory. I estimate my index using data from Malawi and show how it compares to some of the existing indices and then I argue that it offers an improvement because it's structurally estimated based on demand for durable goods and is therefore able to incorporate information on prices, household demographics and location. So the model is fairly simple, households are going to be maximizing utility subject to their budget constraint and they're going to be choosing over some consumption good as well as a set of discrete assets and what they will do ultimately is compare the utility that they would get from the different bundles that are available to them and end up purchasing whichever bundle gives them the most utility. So this is illustrated in this figure here and this is the case where there's two discrete bundles so you can imagine having a television and a radio and in that case there's four potential bundles you can have. The first is the bundle with neither the television or the radio, the second is the bundle with the radio but not the television, the third is the bundle with the television but not the radio and the fourth is the bundle with both and each of these bundles has a utility function, an indirect utility function associated with it and households will just compare the different functions and choose which is optimal for them. So we see that at very low levels of income it's optimal to purchase neither good at very high levels it's optimal to purchase both of the goods and so on and so forth. So from this model what we're interested in is estimating the marginal utility associated with each of the discrete goods and I can do so by writing down the likelihood function of seeing the data that we observe and then going ahead and using maximum likelihood estimation methods. One additional assumption that I make is that we'd like to incorporate things like housing quality which don't often have prices associated with them so I assume a link between marginal utility and price and that that is increasing in price. So I go ahead and estimate this using two rounds of data from the Malawi integrated household surveys using seven durable goods as well as three types of housing quality and what I find is in the bold column for the utility index which is what I term my proposed index. We find that the marginal utility is broadly increasing in price with the exception of CD players which don't seem to provide much of a utility boost and then in terms of housing quality we see that the marginal utilities are relatively low. What I show in the latter two columns is what we get from some of the existing indices. So these are factor analysis which is very similar to principal components analysis and this is based on statistical estimation of weights and often people argue it doesn't really have that much meaning and then the last column shows the inverse frequency index which basically weights the different goods depending on the inverse of the population ownership level and the main thing that we see is that the weights that we get are very different depending on the method and again I argue that my method offers an improvement because it's based on economic theory. In terms of the different weights how much do they matter for the conclusions that we get and I argue that they matter a lot so this first bar graph shows what happens when we're trying to classify households into different wealth deciles and what we see is that the decile that you get depends very much on the index that you use and for instance using the factor analysis index over 40 percent of the sample is classified in a wealth decile that differs from my benchmark by two or more groups. Again when we're thinking about poverty headcounts it really matters the index that you use and this shows the poverty headcount using a 10 percent relative poverty line from 2004 and what we see is that the level of poverty really matters depending on the index that you use particularly for the equal weights index which is just the asset count and the inverse frequency index and these show relatively high levels of poverty mainly because the indices create somewhat lumpy classifications so you can't distinguish between large groups at the bottom of the distribution. Again when we think about how poverty has changed we see that it again this matters depending on the index that you choose and we see that the first three indices show that poverty has increased slightly while using factor analysis you see that the factor analysis index shows that poverty has decreased over time so in light of the substantial discrepancies between the different indices I argue that we should really be using economic theory to choose between the indices and my method is just one way that we can do this I argue that it offers some improvement over the existing indices because it's structurally estimated and again therefore is able to incorporate price household demographics and location because of that the interpretation of the weights is more meaningful it generates smoother distributions of household income and ultimately can be used for policy simulations.


Hi, I'm Geoff Watts and welcome to another lightbulb talk. This lightbulb talk is about the definition of DUN. One of the hardest aspects of agile delivery frameworks like Scrum to get people's head around is this concept of DUN. The easiest way that I've got to explain it is through the story really from my own experience. I was working in a client quite a few years ago. They started doing Scrum because in their words not mine, things couldn't get any worse. So, what the hell? Things were pretty demoralised at this client, shall we say.  The team were pretty excited looking forward to the sprint review. Come the sprint review, the team got to demonstrate everything that they'd done over the last month and we're talking about six, seven features and the prototype note was sort of blown away and she said, wow, you guys are amazing. Scrum is amazing. Geoff, you're amazing. I know. I've had nothing from you for like a year and now just because we've started doing Scrum, in a month I've got six or seven features. This is brilliant.  They're going to love it. Suddenly, the development team's faces looked, I'll say panic. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who said anything about giving this to your users? When we said we were done, we're not done done. And the product owner said, well, what do you mean by done, done? And the development team explained, well, it kind of works on our machines, but this stuff over here, that's not really there. We've just sort of pretended that's there to just show you what we've done. You can't actually go and deploy this yet. And the product owner looked absolutely crestfallen. She said, well, that's no use to me. I mean, don't bother showing me stuff unless it's done, done. And she's got a point. You know, unless something is potentially deployable, it's really no use to our product owner, to our customers. They can't use it, which is one of the reasons why this concept of done is so important. So there are a couple of aspects to the term done, really. But the first thing to bear in mind is that as far as scrum is concerned, it's got to be potentially deployable, potentially ship, potentially usable. You can push the button and on Monday morning, your users could start using it. If the product owner wanted to do so, they don't have to, but you could. So the first thing really is that done should encompass the whole life cycle of the product. So if our product was software, then done should include some design. We don't have a design sprint. OK, so design is included in the sprint analysis. If we need some analysis, some front end works and back end work, any kind of integrations, different levels of testing to make sure that it, you know, the components fit together, it's not going to break anything that's already there. All of that stuff should be contained within done for the development team to be able to say the end of the sprint, we're done. If my product was a book, for example, then my definition of done would be different. I'd have to first think, well, what's my life cycle? You know, what's value? What's potentially deployable at the end of my iteration? If my product is a book, an increment of my product would be a chapter. So my definition of done for a chapter would include some content, obviously. It would include possibly some illustrations. It would include some pagination. It would include spell checking, grammar checking, a consistent type face, all that kind of stuff that would be that would make it potentially deployable. The point of getting your whole life cycle within your definition of done and doing that every sprint is that we can find out where any potential problems are. So if we've got a problem in our testing process or we're not very good at testing and we don't test for six months, we're not going to find that out for six months. We're going to be building up lots and lots of work in progress, not tested stuff. Then we do a big batch of testing, find those problems and we have to go back and redo everything. Whereas if we test a little bit in Sprint One, we'll know where our problems are. The second aspect of the definition of done, really, is our level of quality. This could be the depth of testing, how many levels of testing we're doing. Perhaps it's levels of performance or speed or perhaps the number of browsers that we're compatible with. We can define done now for those can those constraints, those boundaries, deliver to that. And then maybe if we need to expand our definition of done over time. If my products instead of being software or a book was landscape garden, then my definition of done might include the number of weeds visible, the quality of the edging of the lawn. For example, it could be the evenness of the lawn or it could be the directionality of the stripes that I cut through the turf. These lightbulb talks have a definition of done. They all need a title. They should all have a script that's reviewed and edited. They should have a consistent introduction, audio with low ambient noise, a time limit of somewhere between three to five minutes, animation and making sure the audio and the video are lying. It's been published to YouTube, added to the relevant playlist. The automated notification goes out to subscribers. Regardless of what product you're building, whether it's software, whether it's landscape garden, whether it's a book, whether it's a video, bring together the people that are needed to make value happen. Talk through the life cycle, find out everything that's involved in getting from start to finish and capture that in a definition of done. It doesn't have to be perfect. Once you've got an idea of what done might be, start and see what happens. If you've missed anything, we can expand our definition of done over time. If you haven't got all the capabilities to get things done within a sprint, then just note that and make a plan to incrementally bring that stuff in over time. Your definition of done is not a static definition. It changes as the team evolves, as the product evolves. So keep it up to date, keep reviewing it, keep it fresh. As much as you can, try and avoid the differential of done and done done. I hope you enjoyed this light bulb talk. If you did, please like and subscribe. And if there's a topic that you would like me to cover in the future, just add it to the comments. I'll see you next time.
