Hi, I'm Linda Quinlan. I'm Keith Ghostland. I'm Ann Charles. It's July 2nd, Tuesday. Welcome to All Things LGBTQ. We have a lot of news in store for you. OK, I guess we'll start with national news. I have the names right. The Atlantic James Kirkland kind of trashes pride. And we'll have more about that. Chicago, trans couple, announced pregnancy. Why Stories of LGBTQ Elders Matters.  Let's cross that off my list.  Let's see. We have Victory Fund Endorses Mayor Pete for president. The staggering number of LGBT homeless youth demands action. Tiffany Caban, Trump's heaps praise on Brazil's disgraced anti-gay president. What? Tiffany Caban? Yeah. Who has just recently elected DA in Queens? Yes. The lesbian? Yes. OK, what did she do? What did she do? Oh, she's the queen's DA in the primary she won. OK, because you spoke of Jair Bolsonaro in that headline. That was a different one, sorry. I'm reading from the wrong line. It's a little confusing, these headlines. Sit back, put your feet up. It's going to be a bumpy night. We're just back from New York, or a little spacey. Kansas to allow gender marker change on birth certificates.  That should be good. And Alabama homophobe Roy Moore is again running. So running for what? Yeah, really, running for what? Cracker Barrel bans event by Pastor who urges the execution of gays. You know, Cracker Barrel used to have a terrible reputation. It's a big turnaround for them. I know. It's evolving, maybe. And now we have some pictures of Ann and I. We're lucky enough to be in New York for 10 days doing all these pride events. And Ann will tell you a little more about that. I do have some pictures.  And a librarian in Jacksonville cancels LGBTQ youth event after it came under attack from an online activist. So we'll tell you a little bit more of that. So on to you, Keith. So we're taping on July 2nd. Tomorrow is the third. Did you see us in the parade? Did you vote for us? And what number are we? 51. 51. 51. If you can still vote. You can. Vote early, vote often. Yes. Wednesday, July 10th, 1 o'clock, Waterbury State Office Complex. This is the public comment on the proposed Medicaid changes relative to coverage for gender affirmation procedures. We'll talk a little bit more about that. Out in the open used to be Green Mountain Crossroads. September 27th through the 29th is their summit at Green Mountain Camp in Dumberston. This is their fifth summit for community organizing. Drag Queen Story Hour. July 13th, 10 AM, Kellogg Hubbard Library. There have been a little controversy with some not nice emails going into the library that is subsided. But it would be nice to see your smiling face there. We're going. A show of support. Pride Theater Festival at the Chandler Center for the Arts in Randolph, July 26th through August 4th. And Anne might be doing an interview with them for our July 20th show. I believe July 16th. I will double check this. She's reaching for her accoutrements. There is a book launch at the Pride Center also on July 13th, 4 o'clock. And it's Chris Tebbets. And people who have been in the area for a while would know that Chris was involved without right Vermont, the Pride Center, and has been a phenomenal author for books for young adults and adolescents. May I interject? It is July 16th when we're taping and you're a little air on the 19th and the 20th and after. I was kind of right. There we are. So Vermont has a new director of racial equity. We'll talk a little bit about that. Federal judge reviewing a case. Person who identifies as a transgender woman who was assaulted after she was placed in a men's facility in Vermont. And in addition to New York banning the gay and transgender panic defense, it's already the law in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode Island, and Nevada. And the other big news is in Massachusetts. No, not Massachusetts. The other thing you were talking about is non-binary on state-issued IDs. New Hampshire didn't take any action on it and their legislature is adjourned. And as time permits, we'll talk a little bit about the Trevor Projects first survey, LGBTQ youth. I have some relatively short headlines, but much to follow.  Armenian transgender woman faces death threats after a parliament speech. Protests in Pakistan after a father is arrested for murdering his transgender daughter. Although David Davila, said to be Guatemala's first openly gay congressperson, and with a gay couple as stars, Mexico can tell a novella is set to make history. Those are my headlines. Those are them? Those are they. I'm not going to get a break. Oh, I'm not going to get a break today. And before I forget, the trivia question established over 25 years ago to help fund raise for HIV and AIDS. We didn't get it. And they're still at it. Who's they? OK. Now we know. Now it makes sense, but OK. So the first thing was James Kirkpatrick put this article in The Atlantic saying as black trans women are dying and LGBT rights are being stripped away, the Atlantic thinks it's a good idea to publish a neocon who says all our problems are behind us.  I don't understand.  No, we don't need to worry about it anymore. We're done. We have everything we need. We should be content. We have everything we want, yeah. And the Atlantic published that. Yes. When she said it's behind us, I thought we were being chased. We could be. Chicago trans power couple announced pregnancy. Precious and Miles Brandy Davis, who appeared on Say Yes to the Dress, will welcome their first child. Miles, who identifies as two-spirited and trans masculine, underwent fertility treatment with the support of precious, a queer, biracial trans woman of color. And why stories of LGBTQ elders matter 50 years after Stonewall? A new project preserves the memories of those who help shape our present and future. Mason Frank conceived the idea of a project that was simple in nature and yet has never been done. He crisscrossed America, interviewing LGBTQ elder pioneers. The project's name is Outwards. And the title of the book is The Book of Pride. And we saw that at the New York Historical Society exhibit. And just to plug my friend Carla, she's in it. Carla J, LGBT activist and member of the original Gay Liberation Front. Is Donna in here too? Pardon me? Donna? I don't know. I only looked up Carla. Looks like a great collection. It does. It looks very interesting. Somebody might have to do a book review. Well? And do we all know who Trump's new press secretary is? The one who elbowed her way through the Freedom House at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea? That new press secretary? No. No? No. John Deere, who defends Trump's refusal to support the Equality Act and his decision to be in trans people from the military. He states that to say Trump's administration is anti-LBG is a smear campaign, goes on to say that the administration opposes the Equality Act because it is filled with poison pills, such as preventing businesses from using the religious. Filled with poison pills. Huh? Filled with poison pills. Yes, filled with poison pills. OK. What are these poison pills? Well, she's about to tell us. It acts against religious freedom. Oh, a poison pill, oh my. And he said that he would be fine with a cake shop that didn't give him cake. He would just go to another place, and it would be fine. And he would just go somewhere else. Other policies the administration puts forth are simply conscience protections. Ew. Did he defend why 45 spoke at an anti-LGBT group on the anniversary of marriage equality? Yeah. He's in favor. He's in favor, probably. And Senator Cory Booker says there is a crisis of silence, and it is killing trans women of color. I heard the speech, it's pretty good and pretty riveting. And so if you get a chance, you might want to look up his whole speech about that. And for my last story of this segment, does everybody know Megan Rapinoe? Yes. Yes. Is she a lesbian? She is. Hello. Wonderful. And her game is on today. I'm sorry to have missed it, but they're playing England. World Cup soccer? I know. Says teams can't win without gays. Is it soccer? Yes, it's soccer. I guess England. And the US was up two to one when I came down. Really? Oh, wow. For me to be gay and fabulous during the Pride month at the World Cup is really nice. The US will be playing England, which we now know we're winning so far, the semifinal today.  And here's her picture. So with that, we'll move down the line. All right. How do you up flipping the bird at the White House? I know it. So Grimante is about to have a new director of racial equity. This is the position that was created both by legislative action and executive action. When they found out that there were some problems with how legislation had been passed, the governor issued an executive order last year. And then when they went back into special section, they quickly corrected the problem. So the person being hired is Susanna Davis. She is coming from the New York City Health Department. She is going to be in charge of making recommendations regarding fairness and diversity training. She's going to gather and analyze data, develop and conduct trainings to improve inclusion in state government. And there's a five person racial equity advisory panel that was established by the legislation. And the people who were on it were interesting. It was governor appointed. So it was going to be interesting to see where they go and the direction that they take. That's a disappointment. Well, and she starts July 29th. So we should be looking at making outreach. There is a queer community here. We have queer people of color. We're more than willing to work on those places where we intersect overlap with equity agendas. The other thing that was happening other than Linda's pocket talking to us, the Department of Corrections, and February of 2015 under then commissioner Lisa Menard who really did reach out to the LGBT community saying, please help us develop policies and directives.  Yeah. It was a review process to make that decision. I mean, because there could be some extenuating circumstances where a decision might not be quite as clear. The case that's currently being reviewed, it was someone who had been identified as a transgender woman. And for a reason that is not clear was put into a mail-based facility where she immediately was encountering, as she said in her case, ridiculed, threatened, harassed by male inmates and correctional officers subject to constant sexual harassment, comments, demands, and threats. And it was the physical altercation that occurred where she was injured. Both parties involved were charged in convicted of simple assault. So some of the dynamics were a little unclear. But she was then moved to a woman's facility in South Burlington. So you kind of wonder what was being played out. And this is another place where there is an advisory group that's in place to help with these decisions and looking at who's involved as the director of the correctional facilities, Health Services Director, Casework Director. So you've got an administrator, a doctor, a social worker, and here's the piece where I need a whole lot more definition. A DOC employee with the ability and knowledge needed to represent LGBTQI interests. And who is this person? I have no idea nor do I know how they are chosen. But this is the case that's going to be working through the federal judge who was reviewing it said that they would be issuing a decision soon. And this was mid-June. So we're going to be watching to see the follow-up. And then looking at what it is that DOC does in response to this. Is there a commitment to greater in-service training inside the facility and greater involvement in this decision-making process? More than likely. It'll fly under the radar and then we'll see. We'll keep talking about it. Because one of the things that's obviously missing is this is all a very internal process and I get it about confidential information, et cetera. But there needs to be, particularly with this, there needs to be some kind of external review of the decision. And transparency. So talking about transparency.  All right. Well, around the world, parades to celebrate gay pride were held around the world commemorating the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. It was a day to recognize gains and demand new ones. In Istanbul, starting with the bad news, several hundred activists and supporters showed up for the parade on Sunday despite being banned by the authorities for the fifth year in a row. I have a picture of them fleeing tear gas. They dispersed after the police began firing tear gas and rubber bullets on an Istanbul side street. But in North Macedonia, revelers gathered for the Balkan country's first pride parade. And I have a picture of that in downtown Skopje. Skopje. In North Macedonia, they held hands during Skopje pride, a first for the conservative Balkan country, which is awaiting talks to join the European Union. So, and in Paris, I don't have a picture of that. Brutal heat wave, yet marchers braved the sweltering heat to turn out for the annual festivities. Not the usual picture with everyone marching under the oxygen free-off? No. They looked hot. People in painted faces and colorful costumes marched down the streets of Milan on Saturday, waving flags and holding signs. In Mexico City, a forerunner for gay rights, tens of thousands of people joined Mexico City's pride parade, reveling underneath rainbow colored banners and umbrellas. The city was the first Latin American capital to legalize gay marriage in 2009. In Singapore, a pink dot demonstration occurred, and I have a picture of that. Protesters demanded the repeal of a statute that criminalizes sex between men in the country. The annual event, which promotes the acceptance of LGBT people, is the closest thing that Singapore has to a gay pride parade. In Barcelona, parade participants strode atop of a bus, waving rainbow colored flags during the pride parade. They didn't stride, they rode on top of the bus. In Quito, Ecuador, participants celebrated the same month that the highest court legalized same-sex marriage, which I reported last time, making Ecuador the latest country in the Americas to recognize marriage equality. In Portugal, people held signs and rainbow colored flags under a strand of balloons in Lisbon during the pride event. In India, a year to celebrate supporters of the LGBTQ community danced in the streets in Chennai. Last September, as we may recall, India's top court struck down a law criminalizing homosexuality. A discrimination persists in the country. Thousands march in Ukraine's pride parade amid tight security. I have a picture of an estimated 8,000 people attending Ukraine's biggest ever pride parade. They ignored far-right protesters who sought to disrupt the celebrations, and they prevailed. I have more. Nepal... I can see the pages. Nepal held its first pride parade in Kathmandu, and I have a picture of hundreds of people in Nepal taking to the streets in the first ever pride parade. The parade was organized by queer youth. Nepal has celebrated the LGBT-plus community with marches and parades since 2002. However, this event marks the first time such an occasion has been put on during pride season. And one more, a parade in Gulf Salo Paulo. Salo Paulo in Brazil, despite unease over Brazil's conservative turn. You have a picture before you of one of the world's largest LGBT parades that took center stage with carnival festivities. President Jair, most Bolsonaro, as we know, is deplorable. As many as 3 million people were expected to take part in the annual march. And this is... This is a message for our current time, I think. Many participants said they were turning out because they feel their liberties are increasingly under threat. Monique Barber, a 31-year-old, said, I came to fight against homophobia and disrespect. She said she faced verbal attacks at the start of the march. And I think that echoes the current divisions around the world. Is this going to be a celebration or is this going to be a political protest? And we'll talk more about that a little later. There was a recent survey here that said people wouldn't be surprised if the queer community started rioting again. Oh, really? It was one of those MSN online polls. It's like looking at how the 45 regime is just pushing us back. They wouldn't be surprised if we took to the streets and started rioting. Get ready. I'm ready. I have another important picture of penguins celebrating gay pride in the London Zoo. They have flags and everything. There's a picture before you of three penguins and the banner reads, some penguins are gay, get over it. And homage to the stone walls, get over it campaign against LGBT bullying. Reggie and Ronnie got together in 2014 and you see a picture of them and a third penguin who is unnamed. They adopted an egg. It was abandoned by another couple. They shared parenting duties of their chick, Kitan, who was fledged in the nest. Although their baby is now grown, Ronnie and Reggie are still going strong and are often found snuggling in their nest box. The zoo is home to 93 penguins. Total and Ronnie and Reggie are not the only same-sex couple the zoo said. So observe them with the banner. How cute is that? And that concludes my lesbian, my LGBT pride parade coverage from around the world. All right. And we have to talk a little bit about the time of the New York one. Country rap superstar. Little Nos X comes out 20-year-old. He's a 20-year-old that is behind the mega hit Old Town Road. Comes out on the last day of Pride Month. And here's his picture here. So... And let's see. Oh, they had this survey in LA and there's a staggering number of LGBTQ homeless youth. There is a 12% increase in the Los Angeles area. And homelessness is the biggest social crisis in Southern California today. But among the 9,000 young people under 24, 40% identify as LGBTQ. The Chicago Institute study found across the U.S. LGBT youth are more than double the risk of homelessness compared to their non-LGBTQ counterparts. So... And let's see if I got everything I wanted to say. Oh. You got lots of notes. I do. Okay. And I did crack up. Oh, and there's a library because you were talking about the... Drag Queen Story Hour. Drag Queen Story Hour. However, the one in Florida canceled it. Was it Drag Queen Story Hour or are they the ones that canceled the prom? It was a prom, but it was also... And it was an evangelical... Jacksonville, Florida canceled an LGBTQth event after it came under attack from online... Now, you'll like this. Elizabeth Mummy Johnston. And 100 students had signed up for the Story Book Pride Prom. So it is the prom. Yes, but it was like a Story Book prom because it was at the library. Oh, I get it. Literary Italian. Yeah. Professor Charles, you should be pleased. Not that it was canceled. I lament that. So what Elizabeth Mummy Johnston did was she put the library's phone number and email address on Facebook and told followers to call and show their disgust at this event. A familiar tactic. I was going to say, remember that tactic because that's what the catalog covered had endured for a while. If you really looked at the origin of the messages, very few were actually from Vermont. I don't think there were really any from Montpellier itself. The public forum that's happening relative to the Medicaid coverage, they are being slammed right now. Anti-trans, hate as emails. And it's the same kind of process. Somebody puts it out on Facebook. Our social media somewhere, yeah. And it goes out into that national network and you've got people from all over just spewing all kinds of venom. So you think attention has shifted from the Drag Queen Story Hour here in Montpellier to this? I really do. I think it's the same group. Looking at the sequence of events, first it was the response to Drag Queen Story Hour, then it was to the coverage that insurance would now cover gender affirmation procedures for minors. And then right on the tail of it was the change in the Medicaid coverage for procedures. So it's gone from sort of this community esoteric to, oh my goodness, our youth to the state we'll be paying for. So that just ignited it. Well, on a happier note. Okay. I've got to have some pictures of Ann and my trip to New York City Pride. And... You were just social butterflies. We have a picture of Reclaim Pride with Larry Kramer giving a talk about his life and the movement. And Reclaim Pride was the non-corporate grassroots organization. Which was political as opposed to corporate. And I mentioned it on the last show and gave directions and so forth. So that was there. And it echoes, I think, movements that Keith was talking about around the world where a lot of constituencies are saying, no, it's not time for a party, it's time for a political action. We still have a lot of work to do and we have a lot of work in the world to do. And 45,000 people, a march. Attended this one. And attended this Reclaim Pride. And next year will be even bigger. I think so. Just an afternoon with a few friends. And next you have the lovely Dykes on Bike. Dykes on Bikes, the three of us. And then there's Ann, me, and Donna Garchock. A former guest on the program, original member of Gay Liberation Front. Our first Dyke march, and it was fabulous. They were like, what, 30,000?  It was great. Very supportive. We were approached by the local news station, Donna and Linda and I. And it was a study in supportiveness. Donna spoke highly of our show. We commended her as an founding member of Gay Liberation Front. And her photography. And a photographer, yeah? Uh-huh. Yes. Anyway, those were those pictures. Yeah. So, the Trevor Project. Yeah. This is the national hotline for LGBTQ youth to reach out saying, I need some support. So you need to keep that in mind when I start talking about the results of their first survey. Okay. So, because I tried to compare it to our youth risk survey to see if there were some common trends. And I found that the first thing I was stumbling across is everyone in the Trevor Project is already identifying as LGBTQ, right? Behavior risk, it's all Vermont students. Entirely different target group. Trevor Project, I'm calling you because I want help. There is something happening versus this sort of global what's happening out there and really lacking the specifics of where to really look. But what the Trevor Project found and it's staggering, you know, 71% of LGBTQ youth reported feeling sad or hopeless for at least two weeks in the past year. 39% seriously considered attempting suicide in the preceding 12 months. More than half of transgender and non-binary youth had seriously considered it. So looking at all of that federal push, anti-trans, what's happening. Two in three youth reported someone tried to convince them to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. That's much higher than what we were seeing for other statistics. I wanted to find the particular... 87% of LGBTQ youth said it was important to them to reach out to a crisis intervention organization that focuses on LGBTQ youth. You have to have an understanding of who we are before. And they also found that youth aren't out to their adults and more youth are not out about their gender identity than they are their sexual orientation, which would explain why 58% of youth who identified as transgender or non-binary reported being discouraged from using a bathroom that corresponded with their gender identity. So this year is when Vermont will again be doing the behavior risk survey. It'll be all middle school and high school students, but we won't get the results until the spring of 2020. So we'll be looking for that.  He ran... It was interesting because he's HIV positive, he's 41, he lives with his partner and his dog, who's named Valentino. He's the dog that did it. But he wasn't named on the ballot. So his party won and he has ascended to power or gotten elected. But he wasn't specifically voted for although he plans to focus on LGBTQ rights. I'd also like to move to Armenia, which is the 47th most homophobic country in the world. You want to move to Armenia? Oh, I'd like to direct your attention to Armenia's transgender woman who her name is Lilit Marcheroson and I have a picture of her. She courageously spoke before parliament as a transgender person, the first person in Armenia to do so. She's gotten death threats. The police are doing nothing. It's a small ex-Soviet Caucasus country, one of the most virulently homophobic in the world along with Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Russia. I informed police that I was receiving death threats but they did nothing to protect me. So she's living at a friend's house, she can't go out, bad situation, another awful thing. I have a picture before you of Maya, a 19-year-old transgender woman who was found riddled with bullets by the river bank in Pakistan. She left her province and moved into a transgender enclave. Her father and uncle came to pick her up. Her father signed an affidavit that he wasn't going to harm her and then hours later she was found dead. He's been charged. What will he get, a slap of the wrist? I don't know. I can't tell you that. And this was Pakistan. Pakistan, which is at least legally fairly supportive of transgender people. In theory. And I guess... The government is not necessarily family and legislative change. It is not in and of itself brings social change and acceptance. Exactly. If I have time, I don't really, but I'd just like to mention that this Mexican telenovela is set to make history because it's called Together the Heart is Never Wrong. It's set to be the first with a gay couple as the leading characters. It centers on two teenagers who move to Mexico City to attend a university. So I'm going to tell you more about that in subsequent episodes. Is this something that we're going to be able to see on Netflix? I don't know. I hope so. With subtitles. That would be good. I do know that telenovelas are broadly socially influential in Mexico. And what have we been watching on cable? Watching Pose. Tales of the City. Tales of the City. But now, I think it would be... These are soap operas. Yes, of course! And I had a lengthy article about soap operas that I'm going to share with you in this subsequent episode. All right. But since we've been talking about Drag Queen Story Hour, I think it might be appropriate to introduce a wonderful interview that Keith conducted today. Let's look at it now. So, it's time again. You've been asking for it. Who? Their focus group. The focus group loved you. They were wondering when you were coming back. Never. And we were saving you for a special occasion. Well, this seems pretty special. And this is it. So girls, it's been a year. One full year. No, it's been a year and a half. Yeah, it's been over. So what have you been up to? And we might move into some specifics. Well, we've been performing across the state. We're trying to make it at large. Get out of Chittenden County. We have a hashtag. The other 13. The other 13 is 13 other counties in Vermont that need love. And we wondered when y'all were going to know this. Because we've been We've been missing you. Wow. We spend a lot more time in Washington County than most of the other Queens out there. That is. That was our first place to branch out to. Sweet Melissa's. And then, most recently, we went to the Northeast Queendom. It was a scary place, let me tell you. I went to the Queendom. I was one of the people who inaugurated it as the Queendom back in the 80s. Did you get some big ol' scissors for that? We can't talk about what I got. But it's nothing that a little penicillin couldn't cure. Yeah, we were up in Brighton in Essex County. We did drag bingo there, which was really fine. We sold out the American Legion on Memorial Day weekend. We did a very inappropriate version of the Pledge of Allegiance that did not go over too well. But they did. Neither did our political jokes. Our political jokes did not land on there. Something about it going red in the most recent election means they don't quite like our Trump jokes. So we may not be going back anytime soon, but we were there and it was great. We can check it off the list. We were actually invited to go to Newport next. I'm going to tell you, Newport used the same kind of caution in Brighton. But have a good time. Anything really like east of Morrisville we have to do that for, you know. Northeast of Morrisville. Okay, but the biggie that y'all have been doing the biggie I haven't had a biggie. Oh, this. Yes, this. Drag has a story hour. Look at this toe. Look at her. Might I be able to get one of these? I think you can get them at nightpain.com, you know, like nightmare, but then we put pain at the end. Pain like champagne. Not like pain like hurt out. Not campaign. No, someone did do that recently. It's P-A-G-N-P. Clearly, they have not come to a drag queen story hour where we teach literacy to children and adults across this state. Because you'll reach out and try and entertain and bring light into anyone's life. Just about anyone. There is a cost, but just about anyone. And the reason we're doing this now is because you're going to be at the Kellogg Hubbard Library on Saturday, July 27th. No, the 13th. The 13th? Yes.  Ooh, what are you wearing? Yeah. I'll have to coin it. 13th. We can work you into a book if you'd like to come in character. The 13th, 1030 in the morning and then you're at Williamstown in the afternoon. We are. In Orange County. Did the libraries reach out to you or did you approach them saying look at the fabulous thing that we have to offer you? Oh, they already heard about it. This is our second time going to both of those libraries. Really? Yes. We've gone a lot of places in a year and a half. Did you know that besides the very first time we did it in September of 2017 we have not had to ask a library? We've just we had to ask, obviously, that first one was just a nude for a month. Do you have fabulous things? And then we've just been waiting. They've just been coming in. It's amazing. That warms my heart. Yeah, it's the same. It's a lot less work for us. Okay, but I also want... It's one way or another. We're going to like one to two libraries per month. Yes. Because, girlfriend, you need to invest all of your time in looking as glorious as you do. I know. Because that takes so long. It does. This is not a casual. This is casual. Yeah, it's a caftan. I'm on vacation. Well, this is because it's a first night event versus representing a princess. I'm a queen. And I'm a clown. I'm not going there. You can't make me. Okay, but there's also been just a touch of controversy. A touch? A sprinkling. That where every now and then someone might be trolling Drag Queen Story hours and trying to call libraries in creating descent that isn't really there. Exactly. And I think anyone who has come to our Drag Queen Story hours and have seen really what goes on, the books we read, the songs we sing, the sign language we attempt. I didn't know. We teach sign language. I knew you did things with your hands. I didn't realize it was productive. Very productive. We speak languages with our hands. And swirling horizon. But anyway, anyone who comes to the Drag Queen Story hours and experiences firsthand what we do, there would be not a single reason to hate on it. When you started with approaching libraries about doing Drag Queen Story hours, what is it that you were hoping was going to happen? How do you... We would read books to children and be fabulous and be better than the other ones that do it on a regular basis. And be visible with your role models. That's the answer you were looking for. That's the real answer. Hi. Give us a leading question and that's what you want to hear. It goes back to that political agenda again. You really promote something on this show. If I could say so myself. Promoting social change. Just positive role models. Sort of an alternative to what it is that they may be encountering from other aspects of their lives. Just showing them what a little bit of humor. A little bit of glitter. Sometimes some feathers. And just being queer role models. It's really fun. We get to show up and we have every time we go to the libraries it's LGBTQ families that are showing up time and time again. And what we hear from every librarian is that they're seeing folks who have never come into the library before. Ever. And it's packed with all these people who are able to find all these fabulous, amazing, inclusive books and we're then reading and there's a surplus that they're able to go out and have a whole stack that we make them prepare ahead of time and we choose only five of them. I don't like the 30 books that they pull for us. So you're strengthening and creating community in places where it may not have existed before you went in? You want to say that? I think I just did that. Yeah, that was a good claim. You can quote me on that one. Darren's line there. You can quote me. Different programs, sister. I was on You Can Quote Me Before Darren Was Even Born, but we're not going Wow. There we go. In addition to Drag Queen Story Hour you've been doing performances. You did a benefit for the House of LeMay. We did. In St. Albans. In another distant county. Yeah. Great. This is our fourth show in Franklin County. In St. Albans? Yes. And we did a Drag Queen Story Hour in Fairfield. Have you performed at Babes yet? No. Not yet. Waiting for the book game. No, I would have gone down there but I've got a prior engagement and she's going to be out of town. A world prior. But Babes hasn't approached you yet. Back to what we did. We did a fundraiser. We raised over $2,000 We don't need them to call us. We can always call them. We'd love to go down there. Yes. Seriously? They're always listening. And talking to us. She didn't know it. For people who aren't aware Maggie is Margarita from the House of LeMay and she's a new of late and is gradually working her way back to being on the stage and just as trashy as ever. She was out the show. She came out for the party. I heard she came out for the party. She wore her camera on. She did. Camo for her is leopard skin. We were able to This is your camera. This is my camera. That's incredible to think of. A relatively small town in Rural Vermont. Being able to generate sales for a drag and burlesque show. That's incredible. Eventually you're going to reach that status where people are going to look at you and say you're the icon.  That is our goal. So, people have a real sense of Drag Queen Story Hour. I didn't get that. Sorry. We're going to ask you to treat Linda as the child, which, depending on the time of the day, could be, well, we have so many options here, but we're going to go with our greatest hit. It comes at every single Drag Queen Story Hour, and it's called A Big Eye Took My Fall. It's part of the Piggy and Elephant story. Yeah, it's our Dostoe believing. It's our vogue. You know, it's what we all want to hear. It's our personal empowerment story. And a good little zoom in here on the, oh my goodness, the merchandise. Sticker. More stickers also available online. Ow. Yeah, no. We did not write this book. We didn't write it. Nor did we steal it from the Jerick Furtale Library. They gave it to us. OK, come on. Are we ready? Would you like me to show the pictures to the child? Oh, OK. OK, here we go.  And then a big guy came, and, and, and. That is not right.  What about the little guys? What makes those big guys think that they're so big? Their size? Well, I'm big too. I will get your big ball from that big guy, my hero. Here I go. Let's see how big this big guy really is. Oh, OK, oh, OK. Did you get my ball back? That is a big guy. You did not say how big he was. He is very big. He is bigger than I am, much bigger. I am smaller than he is, much smaller. He is so big, big, Jarold. You didn't get my ball back, did you? I did not. And then we do a little. We have a character change. We have a character change. My little ball. That is your ball, and you think it's little. Big guy, would you like to play wheelball with us? We haven't made it up yet. With a little help, we can all have Julia trained in the School of Dory from Finding Nemo. She is the master class in Wales speak. And I did a weekend in Queens. And with that, we say July 17, 13, July 13. I promote it on every show. 1030 Kellogg-Hodgard Library, thank you. Thank you. Can't wait to be back on again. Well, that was fun. We were on site. It was great. Conducted at the Pride Center. It was totally out of control. I got the camera to work. So our trivia established over 25 years ago to help raise funds for HIV and AIDS. Still at it, who are they? They might have been the subject of a 2008 documentary, Sling Backs in Syrup, hailing from the hot damn trailer park in Beaver Pond. It could only be the House of LeMay. Can we see that documentary anywhere? I want to say it was posted on their Facebook. OK. I'll look. Research that. Yeah. So I think it's time for us to say farewell for the moment. But before we do, we want to urge everybody to resist.


The following is a presentation of TFNN The morning market kickoff with your host Tommy O'Brien Good Wednesday morning everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien company alive from TFNN 906 and Wednesday morning We got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading and quite a reversal from yesterday's action Markets green to start things off. We're up a solid 57 points right now in the S&Ps training at 46 24 I got a daily chart up here just for some context of the run we've had Excuse me you back things up to basically the beginning of the year in the S&Ps and you're talking about a price range of about 3700 we're currently trading 923 points above that level We're almost 100 points away from all-time highs this morning You get the S&Ps up one and a quarter percent Nasdaq 100 continuing to show strength You get the Nasdaq 100 up 1.3 percent up 211 points actually had Apple positive yesterday with everything else going on the market Dow pulling back a bit You got the Dow off almost 2,000 points off its highs 34,783 Dow up about nine tenths percent this morning and the Russell continuing to be volatile quite the pullback You're talking about 210 points from the highs of 2460. We're trading at 2250 You're back in the consolidation area that we were in for the better part of this year starting in about February This morning though the Russell up 2.4 percent at 2250 you're the Russell down I think four and a half percent on Friday's action after they've given so the Russell particularly volatile Bitcoin this morning Positive by about 500 bucks or 1% of 58,000 jumping around the commodities. We got crude up a buck 67 yes trading at 67 86. I'm coming alive from Isla Marata, Florida On location this week speaking of crude 67 bucks We'll be talking to our man Teddy cake stat at 40 past the hour as we do every Wednesday from 4x dash trading dash unlock calm We'll talk to Teddy for nine full minutes about the 4x market Maybe we'll get into some commodities as we usually do Interested to get his take on this crude market with a little bit of a pullback Since we talked to him last week a lot's happened since last Wednesday in the markets folks We jump down to keeping with commodities natural gas if I can find my cursor here Natural gas continuing the pullback. We're down to 441. You're down another 15 cents Which is 337 and you look at the acceleration that we've gotten you back things up to just October folks and we were trading at 646 you're now under $2 under that price level at 441 on natural gas We jumped down to the gold contract catching a bid up $13 after pulling back pretty harshly And again back it up to November 22nd. You had gold pushing 1850 we're trading at 1790 right now and we jump to the all-important notes and bonds Little bit of pullback of the action that we had yesterday quite the pop you look where we were November 26th you got the 10-year and that is I believe that is Friday. Let me make sure Yes, that is Friday when you get the first acceleration you were trading at 128 30 at that point we make it all the way up yesterday to a high of 131 10 right so look at the volatility here We've almost backed off a full point from the highs already at 130 17 You're technically down 10 points on the session right now on the tenure at 130 16 And we got to jump over to the volatility index this morning the Vicks Currently trading at 2355 you see the spike since Thanksgiving We've been oscillating between about the lower boundary line give it 22 or 24 up to all the way to a high of 2899 for the Friday after Thanksgiving on the Vicks and this morning pulling back a bit But still some elevated levels gonna be an interesting open in terms of where we open jumping into the news of the morning Stocks tumble as Powell's pivot Boosts hike wagers markets wrap as as they put it bottom line you had chairman Powell talking about Doing away with the word transitory yesterday quite a statement from the Fed chairman Seems like this is the first indication that he is starting the public messaging campaign Regarding a faster taper and faster inflation hikes Powell's pivot on inflation turns the trader pandemic playbook on its head Things are changing folks. There was a lot of estimation expectations that maybe chairman Powell would Sound guarded sound cautious as he usually does dealing with a new variant out there But no that was not the case at all as what ended up happening as he said inflation is here That may cause us to raise interest rates increase the taper pace that we have going on Not what you may have expected if you were really so worried about growth and the new variant Coming in to hit the economy so interesting as that plays out What we also have this morning giving stocks a lift is we got private payrolls posting a better than expected growth of 534,000 in November Market was looking for 506 so this ahead of the number that we get on Friday for non-farm payrolls from the month of November Leisure and hospitality saw a gain of a hundred and thirty six thousand Services sector big time. That's what you're looking for 424,000 in the services sector companies with 500 or more at a 277,000 for the month growth especially strong in those with 1,000 or more workers contributing 234,000 employees of the 534,000 total Big companies adding in a big way unfortunately You may see it that small companies are the ones that are going to come out of here and suffer the most We've already seen it right over the last year and a half But yes that headline number 534 mark was looking at 506 the biggest companies They're adding in the service sector putting up 424,000 jobs that number out this morning and with that Let's jump around to some of the stocks Let's start it off with the fang stocks. All right, we'll jump over the Nasdaq 100 up 208 points right now You're trading at 16,000 355 Nasdaq 100 been probably the strongest industry Of the four during this little pullback since Thanksgiving day. We were up at 16,767 You're talking about all-time highs as recently as November 22nd Today's the first day of December folks right near those all-time highs now We jump around we'll start it off with Apple Apple shares yesterday.   They're doing a deal with Goldman Sachs I believe Combining forces to offer some services on the cloud for the financial for their financial platform I'll bring that up in a moment, but Amazon trading higher by about 53 bucks Amazon behaving, okay You could say during this pullback still well off the highs that they had of about 37. What are we talking about 37 and change right? We're up to recently 3762 we're gonna open at 3560 this morning for Amazon. We jumped to Microsoft MSFT We're about $20 off the high you're gonna open this morning though Check out the pop $5 almost to the higher on Microsoft you close at 330 We got a bid ask of 335 check out the 15-minute action on Microsoft there You pop right on that four o'clock number. You had the markets bounce a little bit We even right after the close yesterday There's the sell-off of course with Microsoft and the market having to do with chairman Powell intraday We jump over to Google shares Google right now from 2849 we're trading up a bit Me see all the accelerations on these tech stocks man continued strength in a big way Google Looking to open up about 35 to 40 dollars higher this morning as well We jumped to Facebook shares Facebook shares up about four or five bucks Let's jump over to Twitter and see how they're handling a new CEO in that role.

Good morning? Good morning Tommy O'Brien. Yeah whiplash alert for traders out there today Tommy I mean this market is yourself because it's moving all over the place and You know today's no different and this should get interesting We got some good economic data this morning with the ADP payrolls drone pile is speaking again Let's see if he tempers some of his statements from yesterday. Remember he was you know, Tommy as you know We hang on just about every word the Fed chair says and yesterday He was probably as hawkish as I've ever heard him and so For him to do that Let's see what he says today in day two of his testimony see if he softened at all because yesterday was pretty hawkish and the market seems to think you know We still have a 10 year of 147, but that was pretty hawkish in terms of Accelerating the taper, you know Remember now he didn't say he's gonna accelerate the taper He said he's gonna talk about it at the next meeting with comes up in mid December So pretty interesting turn of events here this morning Tommy Man Kevin, you know, I was thinking this morning We're getting ready for you to come on the program and I said a lot has changed Since I last talked to you 24 hours ago, man Because we were just dealing with whether it was the variant concerns or whatever was going on I get off the program Kevin at about 10 o'clock. I'm in beautiful island Marata, Florida this week in a little Little vacation staycation workcation, you know while we're here But my dad's in the house as well So I'm in there chatting and he tells me what Paul just said what's all that that seems that seems like some pretty strong language Right and then I say to him and just like that the S&P's drop 40 points And he thought I was joking and about 12 seconds later. He said I think you and I said yeah That's the S&P's drop point, you know, and we were just sitting there watching the market So pretty pretty interesting wording and and it will be interesting the second day, man Because is he gonna if he softens it a little Kevin is he playing a little bit of like good cop back cop Where his bad cop yesterday is gonna be good cop today, right and come back to the market or is he gonna be Reiterate what he said which man those are some strong words because of what they carry with the stimulus along the way With that in mind like you said we still have a market Kevin I thought you know a search and out headlines this morning and I saw a headline That was attributed to Jim Kramer and it and it spoke to saying there's value Maybe in the sell-off yesterday It might be too late to sell and I said to myself too late to sell we're so close to these highs How do you look at something like that like even Apple yesterday Kevin if we could talk about you have Apple trading to new all-time Highs yesterday and sometimes you hear sentiment that it's like too late to sell in this market Where do you go when you look at a company like Apple pushing almost 170 and the resilience of this market even as we get A sell-off of about 3% off the highs Well, Tommy, that's a pretty good segue because Apple will lead off today's show We'll talk about it and discuss it and figure out how to trade it and really the topic is what the heck is going on with Apple How in a soft market where three of the four major indices are Have Apple in them how did that stock manage to rally so strongly in a down market because let's face it with Futures and the pressure that they put on individual names that are in that group It's very hard for a stock like that to rally on a day like this But wow that was impressive and that's why we'll cover it today Tommy in the first segment of today's show I love it man. You read in my mind And you jump over in terms of Apple Kevin because I have the same questions, man That's why you know I'm always hitting you up with what I'm thinking about getting your take on the markets Apple sixteen point five billion shares sixteen point four zero six I'm over in the analyzed tab and the fundamentals in the thickest one platform sixteen point four billion shares Outstanding I mean remarkable this morning alone Kevin that stock is up more than two dollars. You're talking about 32 plus billion dollars It's gonna add a market clap. That's after the close yesterday let alone that yesterday Kevin We were trading at almost coming at about 830 in the morning of 158 So you're talking about adding almost nine dollars Kevin and as it stock with sixteen point five billion shares And we'll we'll leave it at that and we'll let you guys break down the action coming up at 12 o'clock Well Kevin we appreciate the conversation the education as always We'll be tuning in at 12 o'clock today for the conversation and for that Apple take as well man. You have a great day Thanks for having me on Tommy. Have a great day. Always a pleasure you too Kevin folks You heard it there Apple. I mean remarkable when I pulled that up I had the same questions myself right trading from 158 and think about that think about that Apple yesterday from yesterday's open added 140 billion dollars in market capitalization versus where it is yesterday and I think Adding a little personal bias, okay that it speaks to what Kevin was talking about there that you know They are the biggest company out there people are looking for an area of somewhat safety The amount of cash that company has on a yearly basis is going to provide them the strength to Overcome whatever volatility in the short term this market may experience I'm very bullish Amazon on its own right, but they come to mind in the same way And they've been pretty resilient if you back things up to Friday's action Amazon is trading at 3562 you back it up to Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving we closed out the action of about 3578 so basically right in line with where you were now Microsoft You know you can almost lump them all together Microsoft not quite the same as Apple quite a sell-off, but man you almost got it all back as of this morning We're giving back some of that right now But Microsoft's up about $4 and you are seeing some of the biggest companies out there folks and my take would be is that this is a very short-term Volatility spike that could be a short-term pullback as in if the variant causes some travel Restrictions which it already is doing internationally in Europe Potentially in the US as well that is going to cause some economic pullback But in the long run this is nothing like when you're talking about you know 18 months ago going back to March of 2020 nothing like it at all now for some context there I referenced what I was talking about with our man Kevin Hanks and I had to pull up the headline folks And I don't watch Kramer. It's entertaining at times. I'm sure he has some good information out there occasionally But the headline just made me chuckle Kramer suggest putting some cash to work after Tuesday's decline Excuse me now here's the thing I can completely agree with this It might make sense to put some cash to work after Tuesday's decline In the long term it made me a buying opportunity But the fact that you think it's too late to sell folks if it if if selling is necessary it It will not be too late to sell it may not be too late to sell just putting that sentiment out there You have to consider the context folks of let's just look at what a chart of the S&P looks like and here we are and you have the most notable TV pundits out there in the financial arena saying that it's too late to sell That's a scary phenomenon folks. Okay, you're basically sitting at almost to the tick all-time highs Yes, you're 120 points off in the S&P. That's not to the tick. Okay But this chart goes back to the beginning of 2020 folks. We're not even two years out You started 2020 at 3200 we're trading 1400 points above there. You started 2021 at 36 and change 3700 basically when 900 points above we're at starting the year after the run we had during COVID after a low of 2174 and you have people telling you That it might be too late to sell now I appreciate it Fletcher. They're talking to me. He's talking about stocks. They're 30 to 40 percent off the highs Not the indices that would make more sense But boy these indices trade off those stocks are gonna get hit too and that's the thing to think about You know if you're going into like I'll even be more exaggerated, right a zoom at 211 You get a big market sell-off. It's gonna sell off as well. We'll be right back for the open folks.

We got markets open. We got the S&Ps up 54 points Nasdaq 100 up about 190 Dow up 320 Russell up about 2% up 44 points We jumped a crude crude up $2 and 11 cents right now trading at 68 26 We jump over to that gold contract this morning gold contract up about $12 trading at 17 88 Let's jump over the VIX with the markets open We got the volatility index sitting at 23 63 not back quite back to the lows We had on Monday, but actually just under the lows we had at the flash Sell-off when you had yesterday morning We reached a low in the VIX excuse me the acceleration before the market really sold off there We had a VIX of about 24 so kind of just right at those levels. All right, let's jump around to what else we have going on Salesforce out with their numbers last night disappointing the market you trade down to 261 We do have some sales force in my newsletter rocket equities and options You're popping this morning off those lows up to 274 You're still down about 3.7% on this equity this equity really selling off yesterday as well We were at 2.99 so you get back almost 40 bucks from where we were at 10 a.m Yesterday to where we were when they came out with their numbers after the bell for some context on the daily Break in below that channel line not what do you want to see you're up to 311 all-time highs You've pulled back now to 273 getting into the sales force numbers. So they miss on their guidance Never want to see that. I am a bull on sales force though. That's for sure Earnings per share for December quarter are going to be between 72 and 73 cents And that's where market was looking for 81 cents for that quarter in terms of the quarter They just reported they beat a buck 27 versus 92 cents revenue 6.86 versus 6.8 Sales up 27 percent from 5.42 billion in the same period a year earlier The company expects between 7.22 and 7.23 billion in the fifth quarter Raising its previous guidance and coming in on par but the earnings are where they miss 72 to 73 cents market was looking for 81 Sales cloud the company's core product that sales people use reported 1.54 billion in sales up 17 percent Their service cloud business up over 20 percent just staggering numbers in a big way But market making them pay for a little bit of a profitability miss this morning And uh, yeah, we're down about 4.6 percent right now on sales force All right and jump back to the s&p's so you can see given back a little bit of the action s&p's up about 45 points We were up about 56 to 50 a coming in you're still popping 1 percent Uh in this market and just back to that kramer piece real quick folks because I had to point out because you know This is the cnbc article. He airs on cnbc. This is the headline That they're getting looks for right putting some cash to work. He specifically talks about an s&p Um index fund given that it's a good idea to keep some money in an s&p index fund for your retirement You have my blessing tomorrow morning to commit some capital saying uh after the s&p fell 1.9 percent Dow dropped 1.8 too early to buy hand over fist. He talks about putting a quarter of his uh money at play And i'm not saying that's a bad idea folks especially Now I would go the other way like flech was saying, you know, you're talking about individual equities that have just been punished I talk about disney. We have disney in my newsletter folks disney is one that I would say is you know an area that you should begin thinking about buying and I would consider it too late to selling. I do have a stop in there But at this point you are back to levels that you've almost seen talking about may of 2019 disney pulling back from 203 to 146 Quite a different story when you say that you do a show and talking about an s&p index fund Say and invest the quarter of your free cash when you're trading at 46 10 the markets at 47 40 um There may be better buying opportunities in this market if you think this is the buying opportunity Then that is not a pullback folks. You know, I mean you go from Just the run we had last november when we started getting the vaccine numbers, okay And that's starting from a price point of 3200 not a price point of 2100. Okay You're talking about a 382 retracement That's a solid What do we 440 points? Below and that's a 382 and that's an area that we chopped around in from april to june And again, we started the year off folks at 3700. That's talking about only trading back to potentially 4100 Okay, that's still what a 12 acceleration for the year Even if you get that pullback the s&p would be up 12 for this calendar year Little on the returns we had in 2020 after trading down to 21 74 Just keep that in mind as you hear that because if that's the real sentiment that it's too late to sell Across the board and people should be thinking of adding to their index funds If you're a super long-term investor. Yes any pullback you could rationalize you can gain some Edge on the market as in you're buying 1 to 2 percent below where it was at just a day prior But boy be aware of the pullbacks that are possible and keeping some cash dry For the possibility of that is something I would consider folks when you're sitting basically at all time highs Okay jumping around to some of the equities they're making moves this morning. We talked about sales force You have hula packard enterprises. They're down a bit pre market will jump over to see where they are as the market opens Revenue just a miss of 7.35 versus 7.38. They have a profit though. That was 4 above hpe is their symbol Excuse me down about 2.4 percent So far for hula packard enterprises Let's see I wanted to get into yeah goldman sacks amazon.

Uh, welcome back folks Let's jump over to our man teddy keg stat as we do every wednesday at 40 past the hour from forex dash trading dash unlock dot com Teddy keg stat. Good morning Good morning. Tommy So last wednesday teddy. I was talking to you. You were on your beautiful balcony with the foliage Uh, and this week i'm on the balcony man talking to you for some beautiful backgrounds But quite a difference in the markets, man We have a lot to digest in terms of friday the action of course And then this week and yesterday's action with chairman powell. Where do you want to kick things off? Well, what a difference a week makes, huh? You know, um, well, why don't we why don't we start with the end? So, okay, uh, we can tie it all together So when we spoke last week on on wednesday I was telling all your viewers stay away from holiday markets probably good advice for most people after what happened So Yeah, so uh, well now it's kind of interesting, you know Thursday was the holiday obviously and then a thursday night into friday Was where everything happened. So let's digest what really happened now. Obviously, they were hot fin holiday markets Okay, we had a huge move in the interest rate market. Obviously. We had a ten dollar sell-off in oil So what did that do it knocked around? Well for one the interest rate move impacts the dollar to begin with Then the oil move also shook up all the you know, remember we had the oil trade on for like the yen the canada uncertain, uh Different currency crosses all of those were impacted huge. I mean you can tell by the chart the yen I mean it was kind of funny because thursday night.  It's a holiday. I'm just going to liquidate my arms and just put a couple Shorts on and just risk the high. I'm like it's a low-risk sell and we're right below my target, right? Wake up the next day catch a three dollar move. Whoa, what was that all about? You know, so And uh, so these moves don't happen, you know, typically unless there's like news, you know This was a holiday exacerbated move on a thin market short hours in the u.s And what have you going into a weekend now? Obviously monday what tuesday was the digestion period where we're at right now, you know now oil, you know It's the it's the covid scare. That's what's going on right now, you know So we haven't had you know when if we start to see lockdowns in the u.s Obviously and keep on pushing around the world. I mean germany and austria are not looking good right now, you know So that's where we we are definitely having the covid trade back on the table But I would be leery of this oil sell-off now. I know I've been a bull calling for a hundred dollars, you know It's not about right or wrong here. It's about what's the reality of things Um Unless we're going to have a slowdown in pace with everything especially globally Oil's just taken a nick. This is this is a knee jerk reaction to fear, you know So kind of like what would happen after months of what was going on during the covid trend we were bought when we were trading lower and stuff like that Um, the fact is that supplies of oil are not oil is not running out Oil's just not getting to where it needs to go. So the question of demand is there, you know So I think that's what you're really seeing with the end, you know, especially for as far as most of the currencies And let's start with that one So we had a nice correction. Okay. We're coming off of multi month highs You know a two three day sell-off does not a fair market make, you know And especially with the with the extent of the range that happened over friday and even the volatility on monday and tuesday You know, so at these levels, here's what i'm looking at, you know, you look at the dollar index, okay That peaked obviously last week going into the holiday It's coming off a high, you know, so i'm looking at all of these moves right now as a correction Not as a trend changer or anything like that because what's changed in the world Nothing, you know, except for the fear factor, you know, so I think that's what we're trading on right now Um, I'm still bullish the the u.s. Dollar yen overall. I think that was a good buying area Long term. I mean unless oil continues to get a slide But I don't really see oil getting below 60 bucks a barrel let alone into the 50s anytime soon You know, and even if it does I think that'll be an exacerbated spike And you'll have a balloon underwater rally So I'd be very careful getting caught with these What i'm saying are corrections right now. I think your counter trend trades you have to view it as that And manage it like that as well Yeah, I love the take man and even on on on crude which is remarkable I was just playing with some fubanachi numbers, uh, teddy And if you take the run it's a remarkable run and not even going from the covet lows, you know Where it's down at six bucks or negative, uh prices after you consolidated when you take the price Where you go from basically the breakout of the markets in november of 2020 you pull up a 3a2 folks of that entire run Okay, and that run starts at 35 dollars basically or even lower 33 64 I have on my chart up to 84 We've just touched teddy a 3a2 retracement, which is a pretty standard retracement Um on that pullback that we had from 84 bucks and it's a quick pullback I agree back to 68, but it's important for that context sometimes I'm not I don't know if you heard the start of the program I'm kind of trying to bring listeners into the same thing when you hear pundits like kramer saying You know, it's too late to sell no matter what you're talking about You got to look at a long-term chart here and see where we come see where we've gone Uh, you can't I wouldn't allow even a sentiment like that to come in my head teddy, right? Like i'm not sorry You start thinking it's too late to sell when you almost you have the biggest company in the world at all Time high as apple remarkable resilience. You have the s and p's within two or three percent You know, I don't know the exact number. It's two or three percent, you know, basically as we chop around here That's one day's move teddy, you know on the market action So in the crude sentiment, I kind of agree that listen if you don't think a 38 retracement It's capable when we were at negative prices up to over 80 dollars a barrel basically Of course a pullback. Uh, it's important folks Uh, okay, so good take on the end. Well, what other currencies are you looking at this week teddy with everything else? That's kind of in play I would I would definitely watch out for the pound, you know that we saw it I had a buy signal in the euro a couple days ago So that's that's why I think this is a correction when you when you look at the dollar index The major currencies are the euro and the pound the euro obviously is set a short term bottom It has is trying to have a nice little correction The pound is bobbling off the lows like it looks like it wants the bottom But it also looks like it wants to slam the lows again, you know now I am short term bullish the pound, you know, I'm not very bullish But I can see a nice little correction over the next I think the dollar is going to be under pressure for the next week or so You know, unless we have a big turnaround and oil and a big sell-off and rates now you mentioned pal We heard something out of his mouth now as over the past couple days that we haven't heard yet Inflation is here to stay That's huge, you know by the fed taking that stance That means now they're going to do or lean towards which I think is always the wrong thing in an inflationary environment is to raise interest rates Of course, we can't cut rates because there's nowhere you can go anymore, you know, so And I think you have to watch the bonds like the activity we've had in the forex market You had a three this is where we're especially going into thursday, you know after we spoke on wednesday You had a three dollar move into 30 year treasury bonds on a holiday market off of no news a rally Okay, so that's where you've that right there gives you weakness in the dollar that's set us up for weakness Then you had the sell-off of 10 dollars in the oil market on a friday holiday market So when you combine that level of of market action in those two variables Which the interest rate trade is always on the table on the table for the forex markets the oil trade We know we've been talking about it's been back on for a couple months. It's there So when you have that level of movement, you know what I'm saying It's sure to shake up the other ones. So now it as long as Like I'm saying as long as in the short run oil stabilizes kind of where it's at You don't see an interest rate move that I think you're going to see a bounce in the pound It's you get a rally in the pound is very likely to see a continuation in the euro Very likely but not very extended. Um, the u.s. Dollar swiss is the one where I think you're going to get the Tell me hang with us for one second. All right, because we're going to break.

We got the s and p is up 48 points right now We're talking to our man teddy cakes dad and teddy I just didn't want you to have to rush through that because I like the way you were working through each one towards the end They're just talking about whether it was you know the crude the pullback The the forex markets how they were reacting if you could just Continue with what you were saying there Yes, so the swiss light the end was it was one that got bad it down pretty hard I think it's an overdone break But I still think it's it's prodding the lows right now and like we have the oil numbers coming out today Oil's up a little bit right now on the day That's what's really dictating these trades as far as like I said, I think it's a correction So I think you're going to still see the u.s. Dollar swiss Tread I'm support for the next couple of sessions or so And then we get to we already spoke about the end Australian dollar New Zealand dollar those are two that are just in the gutter I would be very careful with any bounce in those markets period right now, especially with the lockdowns in australia On the u.s. Dollar canada. That's a touchy trade I It's it's been pressuring resistance right now And I think a lot of that has to do with With the with the current trend of what happened over the past couple sessions, you know I'd be very cautious buying the u.s. Dollar canada right now. That's a very touchy one It's in the middle of an area where long term. It's a bear still it's in an upside correction And there's just too many variables there. It's hard to lock in a trend on that one But the thing I think you really need to key off of is that Right now all these markets are in a short-term correction Or at least you should view it as a short-term correction and not a trend change never try and pick a top Okay, that's important and especially with the way the bonds and the oil market have moved these markets over the past week If you start to see a big sell-off the 30 year and the 10 year bond And if you see oil get another five six dollars higher back up into the 70 mid 70s or something like that We're back on the regular trade where we were a week and a half ago meaning that the dollar bulls will come raging back So and markets tend to go out like they come in So you've had an aggressive sell-off in the u.s. Dollar yen an aggressive sell-off in the u.s. Dollar swiss Don't think that if those other markets turn that we're not going to see the yen back up at 115 I mean you don't have a three dollar sell-off in the in the yen on a holiday, you know It's no I love the way you walk it through man understanding how the commodities are driving the currencies are driving the action Well, teddy, we appreciate the update man. We look forward to talking to you next week All right, have a great one man. We too. Thanks for tuning in folks. Stay tuned.

any wish you want. I wish I had fair come play too. Grape and watermelon, but you can choose any fruits you like. Be careful because the skewers are sharp on the top. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take one of the fruits and I'm going to poke it and hold the fruit and then slide it down just like that. Make sure you leave a bitter broom so you can hold to that again. My pattern is going to be a green grape. Then a red grape and then a strawberry. Mine's going to be a strawberry, a red grape, and then a green grape. What wishes would you want to grant? I would grant wishes for my family and friends and to make the world a better place. And for me to get a new puppy. I would wish for me to have some magical power like the invisible or something. You have a bitter broom and put your star watermelon on. Take your watermelon, you can ask me to help you and poke out your sheep. It should look like there's a star in the watermelon. Then take your watermelon star and place it at the end. And then just tie it to the bottom of your stick.
