Linda Quinlan. I'm Ann Charles. Welcome to All Things LGBTQ. We're taping today in Montpelier, Vermont, which we recognize as unceded indigenous land. It's Tuesday, February 6th, and we're ready to go. Let's hear from Keith first. Well, and first, welcome back. Thank you. We had a lovely time in California. I was going to say you look rested, but not necessarily that tan. No, it was a little chilly, but it was fun. Well, it was chilly at night mostly. It was warm in the day and then cold at night. It was the desert. Well, welcome back to where cold is cold. Yes, exactly. It's all relative. So starting with trivia, front page out in the mountains, February 1999, and this was an immemorial tribute to an LGBTQ plus leader who had lived here in Vermont. This is someone who had established an ongoing organization connecting older lesbians with each other and dedicated to helping women overcome loneliness. And they received a lifetime achievement award from Sage and a hint. They might have been one of the primary speakers at the first statewide town hall meeting sponsored for the LGBTQ plus community. And Rachel, I'm counting on you to get this one. So I want to start with a brief immemorial current. And this is for Larry Kessler who passed over on February 1st. And Larry Kessler was the founder of AIDS Action of Massachusetts in Boston in 1983 and has a personal connection with us because when we were first forming Vermont Cares here in Vermont and putting together a service package and how to do outreach, work with our Department of Health, Larry Kessler provided us with counsel advice and would always show up to help do trainings and conferences to advance care and treatment for people living with HIV and AIDS. He was also one of the founding board members of the National AIDS Council and the Presidential Commission on AIDS. And in the notice, it acknowledged that it was his actions that started the first statewide AIDS hotline in Massachusetts, secured Medicaid funding for low income people with HIV, lobbied for safe needle exchange programs, instituted the annual AIDS walk. He was the one that went after the transit system in Boston when they refused to put up the condom ads and he won. So thank you and safe journey. So looking at events, because Orca may have something to do with that, you may want to put on your calendars the Green Mountain Film Festival March 14th through the 17th and what we have been told is that there may be a very queer look to some of the offerings.  But in our ongoing acknowledgement of events, typewriters, dollhouses, dogs, descendants, Diane Fitch, her paintings and drawings at the gallery at the Highland Center for the Arts, and this is through the 11th. So coming right up, you better get there. This will be our last promotion. And let me just say we were able to go to the opening and Diane gave a brilliant artist talk. It was wonderful.  So rainbow umbrella, we've got the women's discussion group, book discussion group, go on the Facebook page, find out what they're reading and get on to Ann's distribution list to find out what they're talking about. It's very interesting. Higher ground Saturday, the 17th, starting at 7.30, apoco lipstick. It could only be the house of LeMay's Wincher is a drag. Go on higher ground website for ticket information.  And then on Saturday, the 27th, starting at 7 p.m. as well is queer poetry reading. And it's open. Anyone can come. Pride center of Vermont on Monday, the 12th crown care. This is free haircuts, gender affirming for the queer BIPOC community. We had reported on the last show about the queer act, which is about non-discrimination based on hairstyles that may be cultural, ethnic, racially connected. And there's a bill going through in Vermont on that. All right. Social tinkering on Wednesday, the 28th is their monthly social gathering. And this is going to be starting at 6 p.m. at the Vermont Farmers Food Center on West Street. Also in Rutland, and we haven't talked about them for a while, but Merchants Hall, they're still doing their monthly drag shows. Wow. That's been a while.  Okay. So with that, I'll turn it over to you. All right. And then I'll come back and depress you with news. Yeah. There's a lot of it. Well, on the top of our list is, and not necessarily the most important, is a restaurant in Barn Philadelphia said, the quiet part out loud last week when they posted a Craigslist ad seeking a new bartender for a gay Berhude mainstay must be biologically male, read the ad, for a male bartender center city, Philadelphia at Moriades Restaurant in Bar. The listing was posted January 24th, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, but has since been taken down. Good. We've got to do better. From our own. We've got to do better. Yeah. Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, our favorite, one of our favorite people, recently appeared at a summit at the anti-LGBT group, a group alongside Jonathan Khan, a pastor who blames ancient gods and demons for furthering the LGBTQ rights movement. The man's appearance coincided with the report detailing Johnson's list to Christian dominionism, a movement that sees the US as a Christian nation that must be governed by biblical law. Johnson and Kane both attended the family research council's national gathering for prayer and representatives on Wednesday. The Southern Lovett Poverty Law Center reported FC FRC and SPLC designated hate groups. I can verify that from personal experience. Oh, God. The 10 Republican Oregon state senators who walked out of the legislature I love this story for six weeks last year can't run for reelection. And why? Because the Supreme Court ruled it this week. Senators have walked out to stall progress of hundreds of bills including ones on transgender healthcare, abortion, and firearm reform. This is the Oregon Supreme Court. Right. Excuse me. Last year Oregon Secretary of State ruled that the senators weren't allowed to run for reelection due to measure 113. A 2022 voter-approved law that disqualifies legislators with more than 10 absentees from being reelected after their current term ends. Isn't that nice? And I think only one is approving it. Yep. But they're going to say they're saying they're going to run again after, you know, the next term where they can't run. Well, you know, we'll see. You've got to get elected. A Pennsylvania man was arrested Tuesday in charge with murder after he posted a deranged rent including an attack on an LBGTQ community online while holding his father's severed head. I know. Oh my God. An NBC news reports 32-year-old Justin Moin is accused of killing his 68-year-old father, Michael Moin. The subject's mother, Dennis Moin, Denise Moin, called police after returning home Tuesday evening to find her husband's body in a blood-spreaded bathroom and her son missing.  I don't even know if his father was, I don't know. A New York Pizzeria has agreed to pay $25,000 to a transformer employee who says he was repeatedly harassed while working there. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued upstate New York, T.C. Willis Barr and Pizzeria on behalf of the trans man, Quinn Gambino, who was a cook at the restaurant. You know where that occurred? In Buffalo? In Tana Wanda. Tana Wanda? I know. My family has a history in Tana Wanda. Oh my gosh. Not with this company though. No, certainly not. Conservative, conservative podcaster and turning point USA founder Charlie Kirk discussed a hypothetical situation related to the January 6th insurrection. If the insurrection had started a gay orgy instead of vandalizing the Capitol, attempting to kill elected officials and beating police officers, none of them would have been prosecuted. Oh my God. Now I have an, Ann and I have been watching Truman Capote. The Swans. And I have a clip here of the series that's going on now on Hulu. And if you get a chance, give it a look. It's pretty fun and kind of twisted. Totally twisted. But you know, interesting. So here it is. Hello ladies. Why don't I sit down? Oh, I wish you could. But we're being joined in just a second. We made New York the capital of the world. The center of everything. And who is at the center of that center? Truman. Truman. Truman Capote. He's our great protector and our best friend. We tell him everything. Even the awful things we've all done to each other.  Yes, I think so. Oh my. Truman. These ladies. The Swans. Why are you worried about them? Because they are beautiful and predatory. Why can't it be everything all at once? Sex, money, and an endless invention.  The stories when he is with secrets and lies. It's the best thing I've written. You have to pull this. These are portraits of friends who have shared their deepest secrets with you. Why would you want to hurt them? This is what a writer does.  Those are your friends you splayed out on those magazine pages. His portrait of us hits everywhere. He's telling everyone about our secret life. You, Mr. Plum Little. What are you going to do? We destroy him. And is this what you wanted? To be vilified? Banished? He's finished. You told more lies. And they will let the truth get in the way of a good story. So you both give it a thumbs up. I'm enjoying it a lot. It's so twisted though. Yeah, it says it's so twisted. It's really hard to... Okay. But you know, I liked it a lot.  You know, it's true. It's what happened. And you know. Okay. It's not a good presentation of Truman. No, but we also didn't know he was a little snake in the grave. Moving on. So I have one more before we move on to Ann. After a well-received season of Feud, Beth and Joan FX is bringing back this Ryan Murphy anthology series. That's what we were just talking about. Right. Oh, yeah, this one. Yeah. Oh, this must be my synopsis of the movie, right? Yes. Okay. Never mind that. Anyway. Well, you could read the synopsis or not. So anyway, Beth... Oh, this... No, this was the one that was before this. It was called Feud. Right. The one that was before the new one that's on now. Which is also called Feud. But it's the Swans. Right. Right. So... So it's a well-time-honored theme. Yes. And you know... Somebody wrote it. Yeah. A book about it. Yep. Yep. And the Swans... I can't remember, but Jackie Kennedy's sister... We read as well. Yeah. And the governor... Mae Paley. Yes. She was the wife of the mayor of New York, right? The governor. Governor of New York. Rockefeller. Happy Rockefeller's wife. Yeah. This is... We're in the woods with this. But Happy Rockefeller slept with William Paley, who was the head of CBS, while he was married to this babe Paley, whom Truman Capote kind of romanced in a platonic way, and then betrayed. So betrayal is big in this series. Yeah, because you're really cared for him. And he wrote an expose. About all of them. Yeah. Okay. Okay. The campaign for Southern Equality has filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education and Justice, saying New... North Carolina laws are creating a hostile environment for LGBTQ students. The complaint addresses two laws passed last year through legislature... legislators override of Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's veto. Senate bill 49 characterized by its supporters as a parent's rights bill. We've all heard that. Limits instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools and forces staffers to go out, forces staffers and transgender students to out transgender students to their parents. House bill 574 bans trans girls and women from participating in female sports in public schools and some private ones, plus both police and private... in both public and private colleges. So, you know, it's really... because North Carolina is like a pretty 50-50 state and when they got to elect a governor, they elected a Democrat. But it's so gerrymandered that, you know, they can't get enough Democrats in their state legislature. So anyway... Well, I read that they're rolling back their anti-transgender bathroom bills and that sort of stuff. Yeah. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Shall I? Yes, please do. Let's talk about the world. No. Sort of. I'd like to show you a picture of transgender swimmer Leah Thomas who has mounted a legal challenge against world aquatics. She's been quietly mounting this legal battle against world aquatics to overturn the swimming governing body's effective ban on most trans women from competing in the highest levels of the sport. According to the new guidelines issued in June 2022, trans women are prohibited from competing in women's swimming events unless they transition before age 12, which is very few people. Details have not been made public because they're supposed to be kept confidential but before the court of arbitration for sport. So there was some backlash when Thomas made global headlines for her NCAA win and became the face and often conservative media's punching bag of the worldwide debate over whether trans women should compete in women's sports. In May 2022, she told ABC News this good morning America that it's been a lifelong goal of hers to compete in the Olympics. Her lawyer confirmed that the rules imposed by world aquatics are discriminatory and the lawyer said they caused profound harm to trans women. The legal challenge occurred. The court of arbitration for sport confirmed that the challenge has been filed and it also noted that cases are normally dealt with in private but that legal parties involved in Thomas's case agreed that general information concerning the procedure itself might be communicated by the court office. A hearing has not been scheduled but she's challenging that, which is good.  Now we know that democratic Taiwan is one of the most liberal societies in Asia and hailed as a bastion for LGBTQ rights as the region's first to legalized same-sex marriage in 2019. That must really be herself to Chinese, huh? I hope it does. I hope my election will bring courage to many people as I've demonstrated I've done it standing on the front line, she said, she can be sworn in on Thursday. She entered politics in 2018 when she was elected to the city council on a small new power party ticket. I'd like the sound of that group. She quit the party and successfully ran for reelection as an independent city council in 2022. After joining the progressive party last August, she enlisted to replace an incumbent lawmaker hide only 70 days to campaign. I was not running in my own constituency and there were questions about my young age and with the fact that I've only been in politics five years. Some political commentators thought she wouldn't win because of her sexual orientation as there are some church and anti-gay groups in her constituency. However, she did not emphasize her sexual orientation during the campaign. And notes that there have been a few openly gay politicians elected at municipal levels. Calling her win a positive outcome, she believes her election reflects certain progress in Taiwan. But it's not always been smooth sailing since she embarked on her political career at age 25. She was a target of constant attacks in 2021 but she managed to survive a vote to oust her from the city council. So they went after her. But the groups that launched the recall distributed flyers to vilify and mock me.  For her legislative campaign, criticism about her sexual identity remained largely in the internet echo chamber. So she's the youngest lawmaker elected to this parliament. Her priorities are promoting gender equality and human rights as well as speaking out about generational and distributional justice for young people who feel deprived due to low wages and a widening wealth gap. So that's good news. Now, that was my Asian news and now I have South American news. Which is usually very depressing. And this proves to be the case. It proves to be the case in this instance. Now I'd like to show you a picture of Brent Sikima who was stabbed in Rio. And robbery is the motive. He was a New York City art dealer and a 30 year old man has been arrested on January 18th for his alleged role in this drug and murder of Sikima. A prominent art dealer in New York who was found dead in Rio, his home in Rio on January 16th. Alejandro Triana Treves of Cuba was taken into custody by police at a gas station. Hundreds of miles northwest of Rio. Authorities are investigating the case as a robbery. Sikima 75 founded the Sikima Junkinson Company Art Gallery and was last seen on surveillance video when he arrived home shortly after 4.30 on January 13th. And then surveillance video has revealed that this alleged perpetrator waited in his car for half the day and then cased the neighborhood and then waited a few more hours. So finally broke into the house or entered the house at 3.30 in the morning. So they must have had surveillance cameras out there. Yeah.  Initial findings indicate that Treves came from Sao Paulo specifically to commit this crime, said the detective with the Rio State Polices Homicide Unit. He then returned to Sao Paulo leading investigators to believe he had some kind of privileged information. His business partners posted a note on Sikima and Jenkins website acknowledging his death is with great sadness that the gallery announced the passing of our beloved founder, Brent Sikima, states the note which the staff signed. Sikima was raised in Morrison, Illinois, graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute. He went on to work as the director of exhibitions at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester before heading to Boston in 1976 to service the Director of Vision Gallery. He moved to New York City in 1991 and launched Worcester Gardens, a Soho based contemporary art gallery. The gallery relocated to Chelsea in 1999 and several years later it was renamed to Sikima Jenkins and Company according to the partners. Multiple reports say Sikima is survived by his husband and 12 year old son but there are very few details about his personal life. Now I can go to Europe. You think they would have known there were security cameras? And why, you know, it doesn't reveal why this, why he was stalking this particular person, whether they had prior connection or what. There are times when security camera doesn't make a difference if you think your actions are justified and you will get away with it. He must have thought he would get away with it. Absolutely. So, shall I continue? Okay. One more story then we'll move on to Keith. Okay, this involves a clip and the Sundance Festival which just, the 2020-24 Sundance Festival just occurred and this is aired there and unfortunately I can't tell you where it's going to be shown but keep your eyes out for it. It's called Layla, a 2024 British romance film written and directed by Amru Al-Kadi in their feature directorial debut. The plot is short and the clip is going to be short while navigating their identity over on Friends and Family. Layla, a non-binary British Palestinian drag queen living in London falls in love with Max and advertising executive but there's more to it. So, let's look at a clip from Layla.  She's literally a noodle on noodle of my whole. Move, man. She's giving Layla a ball of eggs. Oh, yeah, she listened to me. Max, you're going to be looking good. Is she ready? Is that party invite still going? Hell yeah. You are just in time for the best part. Mm-hmm. Visit where you get to see by playing the curtain. And to Mr Darcy. Wow, that's what a production. Somebody's laying pipe tonight.  Hi. Hi. What do you think of this? It's unreal, babe. Yes, honey, this eats, but this devours. So, we're going to a sort of like an alien-themed party. Oh, yeah? And you couldn't look more human. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you thought that was a good thing. It's giving very corporate realness, honey. Yeah, perfect. Do you mind? What, stabbing me? No, I've never. All right, looks interesting. And staging for updates. Mm-hmm, yeah. Keith. So, on our next show, I'm going to be talking about some of the mischief going on in New Hampshire with a lot of anti-LGBTQ specifically anti-trans legislation going through. And also we'll be talking about Alberta, Canada and how it seems to be following Saskatchewan and New Brunswick with very hostile anti-trans policies. But first, I want to start with a follow-up on Maine. And on the last show, we talked about LD1735, which is a bill that would essentially create Maine as a sanctuary state for transgender youth, transgender people. What has been reported recently is that this bill was voted down unanimously in their House judiciary, but there are mixed media reports, such so that a quality Maine issued a statement saying, before you rush to judgment, this action was not the result of the alt-rights rabid campaign. This was not in response to their saying, the state of Maine wants to take your children away from you. What a quality Maine says is that this bill, as it was being debated in their House judiciary, was radically different than what had been introduced. It was radically different than what had been presented at public hearings. And that a quality Maine and our community activists had problems with this bill from the beginning. This bill was voted down because of a lack of transparency in the transitions of the bill. And because it wasn't following the due process, what they were voting on is not what people commented on in public hearing. So this actually is good governance, despite how it appears on the surface. But we will be following up because you're working already on a new bill. So looking at Vermont, and we've got a lot going on now. First thing I want to highlight is we've got another constitutional amendment. And this is Proposition 4. It is already in the Senate Judiciary. It has 23 Senate cosponsors. There's only 30 members of the Senate. So there's their two thirds to begin with. What this would do is to amend the Constitution to say the government must not deny equal treatment and respect under the law on account of a person's race, ethnicity, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or national origin. This would expand upon existing language within Chapter 1 that describes all people as being born equally free and independent. This is directly in response to the current trend happening on a national level and current U.S. Supreme Court rulings. The U.S. Constitution's 4th Amendment already includes an Equal Protection Clause, but Reverend Mark Hughes, who we know from the Vermont Racial Justice told the Judiciary, Proposal 4 is urgently needed to advance protections to every resident in Vermont given emerging federal challenges. Dick Sears, who is the chair of Senate Judiciary and would be the first hurdle to overcome, said, this is going to be a priority. There's a great deal of support, and in light of U.S. Supreme Court rulings regarding the 14th Amendment, I think it would be important to try and get a statement of equal rights into the Vermont Constitution. Vermont Law School Professor Peter Teichaut, who is a frequent consultant and constitutional law scholar, told the committee that an Equal Protection Clause is important for the simple reason there isn't one now. Thank you. To states, what if the Supreme Court says one thing? Does the state still have state rights, as far as that's concerned? You would have to work that out. The federal would always trump the state, but the state is putting a statement in place saying this is how we will govern. You can make something more liberal than the federal, but you couldn't make it more restrictive. There would be a balance, and they would be looking again. So what we're also looking at is the House Education Committee. They're doing a joint hearing with the Senate on education funding and thinking about what may be happening with property taxes and all of the other issues about changing how Vermont does education funding. This is going to be a huge issue, but they're also about to look at getting the work report about harassment in schools. And unfortunately, the report is not being presented until the day after we tape, so I could not read it in advance. But we will be looking to see how it talks about bullying, harassment of LGBTQ plus youth, and if there are specific recommendations they're making. But they're also going to be hearing from their general counsel. On how they approve independent schools and think about the lawsuits that have currently been happening where the Alliance Defending Freedom challenging what restriction that can be put in place. And associated with that, what was reported recently is the Woodstock School District reached a settlement with their snowboard instructor who had been fired for making a anti-trans athletes statement. The settlement doesn't mention a dollar amount, but the Alliance Defending Freedom is already saying this is a win because it upholds his freedom of speech. And this is a case that was a little different than the ordinary. They were at a tournament, they were competing with a team that had a transgender athlete on their women's team. In a private conversation, he made a comment that he didn't agree that it was his belief that biology at birth is set. That's it. It doesn't change. And it was reported to the school, to the superintendent. He was subsequently fired. What the suit alleged is it was a private conversation. It was freedom of speech. It wasn't a public conversation. And then the issue becomes he was a coach at a tournament. Was it really private conversation? He was a coach presenting an opinion in private conversation. It was still a public forum. But this is again one of those cases that the members of the school board said that the attorney representing their insurance company recommended the settlement because it would cost less than the cost of litigation, which means there's no decision. It isn't the actions they took were within the limits of the Vermont Principles Association or no, no, no, you went too far. It's we don't want to have to deal with this, so we're paying you to go away. So I'm going to turn it over to you. And oh, one brief before I forget, I'm sorry. Our House and Senate have issued a joint statement that was signed by 117 state and federal lawmakers identifying the increase in homophobic acts, saying that they are concerned about the surge in hate crimes. They specifically cited the incident in Isle-Lamont and in White River Junction with a bomb threat at dry Queen's Dory hours. They were saying these incidents are not isolated. They reflect a disturbing pattern of increasing LGBT plus hatred across the country. Mike P. Check went on to say, we'd like to believe that for Montes the sanctuary, we really need to acknowledge we're not. We're subject to, of note, all leadership, House and Senate signed on to this bill. There's representatives from all parties that are part of it. And every elected statewide official and our entire congressional delegation signed on to this. 117 is significant. So, go Vermont. Yep. LGBTQ advocates in Washington state are outraged after a string of inspections over a weekend included LGBTQ establishments that were cited for how patrons were dressed. Two popular gay leather bars in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood faced unexpected scrutiny from authorities on Friday and Saturday evening, leading to a wave of outrage within the LGBT community. The cuff complex and the Seattle Eagle were subjected to the owner's describe as rates, resulting in lewd conduct violations over patrons' clothing choices. Here's a picture. There was some like a nipple. Someone had a nipple showing or something. Yeah, I know. We're going to have to be careful. I know. Authorities in Georgia are investigating a national fire that happened last year as an LGBTQ hate crime. In three years, President Joe Biden's nomination of help to bring broader diversity to the federal judiciary, a body that has long been dominated by white cisgender men. Now Biden and Senate Democrats are poised to tie a record for confirmations of LGBTQ judges. If the state approves Judge Nicole Burner and Melissa Dubois, Biden will tie with former president Barack Obama's record for appointing 11 open LGBT lifetime judges to the federal bench. These confirmations would come at a time when more LGBTQ rights cases are being fought in courts across the country and even making their way to the U.S. Supreme Court. And here is a picture of the two judges who were nominated. And not to forget, our Beth Robinson is one of those appointed lifetime judges. Beth, a San Francisco man was convicted by a jury on Tuesday for a group. Oh, let me see. Oh, Gerald Rowe, 52, was convicted for a first degree murder, torture and poison and poisoning of George Russell, Sal Devine, Sal Devine, 23 in Market Street, February 3, 2019.  Oh, my God. I know. Your stories get just more in keeping with your horror film obsession. Well, Coleman Domenico, who just received an Oscar nomination for playing civil rights activist Baird Rustin, and the biopic Rustin has been announced for two more film roles as real life figures, iconic singer and actor Nat King Cole and Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson. Domenico will also direct and co-write the co-biopic He Told Variety. It will be the first feature film as a director. I think it's biopic. Is it biopic? All right. Well, I always pronounced it biopic, but I'm not getting in the middle of this one. Before Nick Pegano passed away from a fentanyl overdose in July 2021, he told his parents he wanted to become a social worker for LGBTQ people. Today, Rich Padago is honoring his son's legacy with a benefit concert that will help LGBTQ pay for additional treatment. Through the nonprofit Release Recovery Foundation proceeds from the show will go to fund Nick's name to be given back to those in need of assistance. That was good news, right? The campaign for Southern Equality Office in Asheville, North Carolina was broken into over the weekend with a burglar taking the LGBTQ non-profit safe. The incident occurred Saturday morning around 4.30 a.m. at the CSE's local office space in the basement of the first congregational church. The organization said that the church security camera footage showed one person take their safe, which included a small amount of cash and several undeposited checks. You know, so many people have video cameras now. I'm really surprised that. I'm going to miss a lot of stories, but I wanted to talk about Ann McGuire and she died. And she was a Massachusetts activist who co-hosted a gay radio show in the 1970s, advocated for LGBTQ rights and breast cancer research. She worked for groundbreaking political candidates and she died at age 80. She was well-known political organizer in 74. She managed lesbian Elaine Noble's first campaign for Massachusetts House and Noble One becoming the first LGBTQ person elected to any state legislature in the United States. She worked for straight allies as well, running Thomas Menino's first campaign for Boston Mayor in 93. He also won and then put her in charge of the city's health and human services. I remember talking to her at Women's Week in Provincetown a couple of years ago. She moved to Provincetown and she was most known to the Boston populace. She profried her an owner of somewhere and then became somewhere else. She was really a larger-than-life figure. I know and I remember going to somewhere else and everybody would say Ann McGuire. Ann McGuire. I can see her now. And I'm just going to say one more thing and then I'm going to pass it on to Ann about Roberta Kavelin, the lawyer who represented Eugene Carroll in her sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump as a lesbian who's a longtime champion of LGBT and women's rights, most notably as the attorney who brought down the main part of the Defense of Marriage Act. A jury in federal court in New York City reached a verdict in May in Carroll's sexual abuse suit, which stemmed from an incident in the mid-1990s. Carroll, a journalist, said that Trump raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan and that he defamed her by saying she was lying about it. So good for her. Good for both of them. Yes. Okay and I'm missing a lot of news but I'll have to get to them another time. Well let's start out on a bad note.  Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Radcliffe who were 15 at the time of the killing and are now 16 received sentences from Justin Amanda Yip Friday, the BBC reports. They were convicted of murder. December 20th they had pleaded not guilty each blame the other and of course I've told you all about this but a jury found them both responsible. Their names had not been released but now the confidentiality order has been lifted. Gay 16 died after being stabbed 28 times in a heart village. Jenkinson and Radcliffe were arrested a few days later. They committed a brutal and planned murder which was sadistic in nature the judge said sentencing them. They will be eligible for parole only if it's determined that they no longer pose a danger to society. Jenkinson had a deep desire to kill the judge said while Radcliffe was motivated by bigotry against trans people. He wrote transphobic and dehumanizing messages and undoubtedly displayed hostility to Breonna based on her transgender identity. Jenkinson as I reported in the past masterminded the crime but it would be wholly wrong to treat Radcliffe as being under Scarlett's control. Breonna's family read a victim impact statement before the sentencing. Esther Gay said Jenkinson and Radcliffe will always pose a danger to society adding I would never want them to have the opportunity to carry out their sadistic fantasies on another child. Everybody's families were there. Jenkinson's mother could be seen weeping at the end but her family gave a statement to the Warrington Guardian apologizing this is the family of Jenkinson to Breonna's loved ones and saying all of our thoughts are for Breonna and her family. They thanked Esther Gay for her selflessness and empathy and said they found the sentence appropriate along with the decision to identify Jenkinson and Radcliffe. So the families agreed. Upbeat note a new sculpture celebrates Alan Turing at the University of Cambridge and let's look at a picture of it. I saw that. It's been unveiled at King's College. Turing the Bletchley Park code breaker played a crucial role as I'm sure you all know in the Allies victory picture I mean sculpture. Yeah over so he played a crucial role in the Allies victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. He studied at King's College from 1931 to 34 and was elected a fellow there in 1935. The work by Sir Anthony Gormley best known for the Angel of the North stands at 12 feet 12.1 feet tall. He said the sculpture was not a memorialization of a death but about celebration of the opportunities that life allowed. Sculpture was made from a material that he often uses. It contains one percent of copper which means it will oxidize over time forming a rich red rust surface. The sculpture's relationship with time and weather is an integral part of its character. The provost of King's College praised the artwork for reflecting both Turing's brilliance and his vulnerability. At the same time the sculpture also embodies the transformation of the industrial into the information age. She said on August 2022 the historic England told Cambridge City Council's planning committee that the sculpture would be far more visible than the proposals implied and would cause some harm to the significance of the historic college. However it was approved and the college thanked the council for supporting the project as it would give food for thought and pleasure to countless generations to come. Its location meant it would be visible daily to staff and students but the college said it would make the work accessible to visitors and school groups through pre-arranged meetings. Sir Anthony said I want this work to be something that the life of the college lives with and that it will be a continual source of questioning, of projection, a marker of an elusive relationship to a person in our evolving time. Another good story is the gay French prime minister Gabriel Atal and let's look at a picture of him. He says his appointment shows the country's evolution. He just gave his first speech and he says he's enjoying how much the country has evolved. The nation was tearing itself apart just 10 years ago over same-sex marriage but being French in 2024 means being able to be prime minister and openly gay. He said in his first major address to parliament. This is proof of our country is our country is moving and mindsets are evolving. He told the national assembly which is the lower house of France's parliament. His orientation has caused barely a ripple in France according to a news report which notes that any criticism of the new prime minister has centered on him being a carbon copy of President Emmanuel Macron. Macron appointed Atal as prime minister three weeks ago after Elizabeth Bourne resigned. He had been education minister opposed in which he was the most popular politician in France and before that he was minister of public works and public accounts. At 34 he is the youngest prime minister in modern French history. His former civil partner Stefan Sejourne was recently named foreign minister as Macron reconfigured his cabinet. In a speech to the national assembly Atal pledged to support farmers who have been protesting over declining incomes. He promised financial limits on food imports. He also said his government would urge employers to increase workers pay and would tie unemployment benefits to requirements for job training and internships. Work should pay more than inactivity, he said. I don't know that I agree with that. I love inactivity. He additionally said he would seek to recruit more doctors to France, take steps to address bullying in schools, reduce government bureaucracy and try out a four-day work week. I could get behind that for his administration's employees. To be French in 2024 is to live in a country that is seeking stability, justice and peace, he said. Do you have any headlines? I have a couple of things with pictures that I just wanted to do briefly. I only have three more stories but I'll just give you the headlines.  You don't have to Yodel. Their first rehearsal occurred in a Yodeling club, only two of three singers Yodel. Everyone else sings just like in choirs. They don't want to make a statement. They just want to Yodel, they said. An Italian court convicts parents of abusing a gay son. This is in Turin. It's very interesting. They may not, they may just have to go to a diversity training session but what they did to their son was awful and finally a psychiatrist refused to see him saying that homosexuality isn't a disease and finally the child psychologist got when they wanted to force him to have sex with the woman to prove he was a man and the child psychologist stepped in and reported them and finally I have a picture before you of a retired priest 80 who paid men for sex oh I read about that and was found murdered in bed this was in Valencia and they say that the person who murdered him was his Peruvian lover and bad things you know he was strangled and so forth can I just do these two now yes okay I know very very quickly Amber Glenn is a U.S. women's figure skating champion here's a picture of her it's her sixth U.S. championship Glenn's victory makes her first openly LGBT skater to win the U.S. women's title and here is her picture and um let's see um I guess that's probably it I had some some um we got the trivia coming well I know trivia okay go the organization was golden threads the founder Christine Burton you know I'm really mad at myself that I didn't get that because I knew that who lived in Burlington for years and her comment is you're never too old to love and be loved oh very true on on that note does anybody have anything else to say we have 47 seconds no shall we just go on and say resist


Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to 31 Days of Halloween. Today we are talking about Bentley Little's The Mailman.  So I have over 3,000 horror novels on my Kindle. Well, novel, short story collection, novellas, novel, that's all that stuff. And I wanted to start taking, I wanted to start putting a dent in there. I opened it up and one of the most recent ones I saw was The Mailman. I think I got it on sale. I had to gotten it on sale because I wouldn't have bought the book otherwise. I read the book before when I was much, much younger. I believe it's Bentley Little's first book. Maybe it's University. I can't remember. But it definitely reads like an early Bentley Little, early, early, early. Maybe it's Dominion that was the first. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Let's get on with the review. So I picked this one.  So maybe you could say that I'm a little, maybe you could say I was swayed because I was reading the ebook. I don't know. I don't enjoy the process, but I've read some five star reads that were ebooks. So take that into account. I don't know. Very, very first thing. And after I was done with the book, I went back and tried. Well, I did this a lot while I was reading. Bentley Little has a very, very strict formula that he goes by. Every single scene opens up with a blow by blow description of what the character is either eating or whether or not the character is feeling well. And you might say, well, of course, you want to know what the character is. I don't need to know that they had frosted flakes. I don't need to know that, you know, I don't need a whole chapter, not a chapter. I don't need a whole paragraph or eight. And there is several that it's that long of just catching you up to speed on their day. Get into the content that I want to read. Once you build up the characters and everything, I just but a lot of a lot of older books, especially are like this older horror, because they had to hit a word count to be published to begin with. And I feel like Bentley Little has always written novel length novellas. You can cut out much of the description because it's always reiterated either in dialogue or later on after you actually get to the meat of the story. And that's another thing that you're going to see is you're going to see repetition constantly.  That character is then going to go and talk to somebody and rehash their entire story.  And he won't go into detail, but that's because he's already done it three or four times already. The horror in this one is outstanding. And that's why I'm going to give it two stars instead of one. I didn't enjoy this book whatsoever. I hated all of the characters. But the horror elements when you get right down to it, the horror elements Bentley Little is not an author that you give too much of a crap about his characters. That's not why you're there. This is the literature equivalent of a slasher novel. You're there for the body count.  And then this book has all of that stuff. But but as far as, you know, you're going to catch a lot of stuff, especially, and it's going it might even ruin you for Bentley Little when you go and you read these books. And you've watched this review, you're going to start seeing these things. And if I do that to you, I apologize. But it is what it is, man. And every single one of his books is like that. I think the only one that is not is the ignored. That is a very touching book. And I really love that main character. Just the idea behind it really, you know, really touched me. It really I resonated with with the idea of, you know, being ignored because I was bullied throughout.   I was 11 pounds when I was born, my poor mom. Anyways, I was a C-section. So ladies, don't cringe too hard. But yeah, I've always been big, always picked on. So the ignored is a highlight. Also the walking, those two concepts were just so good and original. I wouldn't cared for this. Now it's not to say that the male man is not original. Don't get me wrong. It's the issue I have here is the formula and the filler, the constant repetition of things that have happened earlier in the book at length. I'm not talking about a quick mention to keep you up to speed. I'm talking about at length. But the reason why I picked this is because I've been hard on Bentley a little in the past, especially when I really honed in on his formula is the same thing with Dean Coons. I don't read Dean Coons anymore. And I probably should have skipped this book. But it is what I read it and for the most part I enjoyed it. But here's something that I want you to try. And I mentioned it earlier, but well I was going to mention it and I got off on a tangent, like I normally do. Welcome to Edward Lawrence YouTube channel. Anyways, but you can open up this book and read the first couple of chapters. Okay, very first couple of chapters, two or three, maybe five. After that, all you need to know, all you need to read is the character's name at the beginning of the next chapter so that you know who's involved and then start reading the dialogue. Skim all of the paragraphs with narrative and you're not going to miss a damn thing. That's how repetitive it is. Because if you miss something in the narrative, it's going to be brought up later in dialogue. And I can't think of a single other author that you can only read the dialogue and be okay with the story. That's why I say he writes novel length novellas. But anyways, have you had this experience with Bentley Little? I'd love to hear from you. But main question today is, have you read an author that you can only read the dialogue? And it would be a compliment if the book didn't have brick after brick of needless information that you just don't need to know because later it's going to be talked about in the dialogue. Do you have an author like that? Have you ever tried that with a book? I do it from time to time, especially when I dislike the narrative so that I can get through the book quicker. And I knew what was going to happen. I forgot the ending. The ending is creepy as hell, which is another reason why I'm giving it two instead of a one. Because I really, I did not enjoy this experience except for the blasts of horror. And even at the end, you don't really need to see what has happened. You can literally read the dialogue and figure out what is going on. But anyways, that's been my review. Have you read this one? Let me know whether or not you liked it, loved it, hated it, knew about it, all that good stuff. But let me know why you felt that way so that we can have a discussion. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U. This has been another 31 days of Halloween episode. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now, toll-free at 1-877-927-6648. Hi everyone, Basil Chapman here on this Thursday, the 28th of September, just about to wrap up the month and let me just finish this here little notation. It takes just a moment, but I have to find the, there it is, Chapman Wave notation, Chapman Wave methodology says we've got a peak C1 and a peak C2 right there, oops, uppercase on the way up, C2 right there. I'm going to just finish that up and then I want to discuss a couple of things. So what I'm looking at here is, yes, there's an oversold condition. If you look at the volatility index, yeah, the volatility index acted as if, oh my goodness, what's happening to the market? But it hasn't broken above the 200 period moving average in the weekly chart of 20.43 to start trading above there for an entire couple of days during the week. And that just says to me, we're not done yet with the downside, that's number one. Number two on a very short-term basis, look at all the things that have happened here. If you go to the down, let's go through this one by one. I'll do this because I've got a whole bunch of stocks that I want to look at yesterday. I didn't look at and I'm going to try to do that today. So what we're looking at here is there was, I want to want to the downside. We were short, we're still short from the higher of August 1st. The high was 35,679, we're short. Just a little tad under that, we remain short.  But when you start to make the very large arch formation, then there are other things you've got to look at because in this case, there was a one to one. This is the A to B equal C to D. It has nothing to do with the Chapman Wave peaks and troughs, it just has the length of a move. We've been just a tad lower yesterday to 32,306. This morning I decided with many things going on that I would in fact have subscribers have an aggressively long position and we've got that, we've got a very tight stop and we'll raise that stop if market goes higher. But I'm treating it as a bounce. I've got a little ring that went ping ping and if the ping ping goes, I immediately go and see who's there and we've got Garo in your port beach. Garo, how are you? Very good, sir. How are you? I'm very good. What are you looking at? Today, I traded energy fuels.   And you traded, you bought it at what price? Today, I bought it on a pre-market chart on a 30 minute. It was at $8.53, about 3,000 shares. And I sold them at the open, the first candle at R1, at $8.90 cents.  Okay, so what I would do is this. So have you sold it all? No, no, no, no. Here I would ask you that please, please if you, if you would do that for me.  Okay. And if you look at April, April of 2023 was high, it was $11 and November of 2022 was $11. You think that that will get to that point or it's already overbought? No, there are a couple of things going on. I've got the chart here. It's called Energy Fuels Inc. Uranium. U-U-U-U is a symbol. I had a choice between, for my subscribers of U-U-U-U or UEC. At the time I said, I think UEC is a way better chart pattern and we've traded that, we still own it. We've taken a little bit off for really nice gains. Same area, UEC is a symbol, uranium energy corn and had a big spike up today. It's given some of that back. It actually had 568. So we're in at 368, that's a really nice gain. But at the same time looking out, I too am looking at the longer term charts. But let me, if I can do this, I want to use just an example. What I'd say it is, at a certain point UEC, what I say to subscribers is I would like to get to add U-U-U-U but I think U-U-U could play catch up to UEC but as a chart formation, I like that much better. So I'm going to show the two right here. So I've got it all notated with channel wave methodology. The last high in UEC was 6,060 cents. Today it's up 11 cents at 539 but it actually hit 568. On the week of, that is a weekly chart. Yeah, the week of the 14th of April, 2022, it had a high of 660. And then it made this big sort of bull double U formation went to a lot of 220 back on the 5th of April and it started its move to the upside. And then I had what I call the left side, right side, cup and hand, symmetry, number of bars on the left should equal the number of bars on the right. And it did that. At the same time, I had a pattern that I call the Chapman wave cup and ladle breakout pattern to see because it had a cup and ladle. You know how the ladle, when it hits the left side, it stalls and it makes a little handle and then it breaks. It's one of my least favorite patterns. Not that you can't use it.  So you've got to recognize it earlier. So I'm treating this and I'm saying that 660 is my target and more intermediate term target for UEC. Now I'm going to show exactly the same weekly chart but I'm using U, U, U, U. Now this one goes to a high of November of 2022 at 11.39. It made a cup formation, a beautiful, beautiful symmetry with a cup formation, number of bars on the left. It was one bar late and it went to a high of, so 11.39 was the high back in November of 2022. In April of 2022, it hit $11. So it was underneath that but it made that, and this is, I need to show this, and I'm pleased you brought it up because I meant to show this earlier on about a month or two ago and then I forgot. So what happened is U, U, U back in August, the week of the 20th of August is a weekly chart or 2021 made a law of 432 and then it broke out and it went to a peak G slash A and the Chapman wave methodology, there's no such thing as an H. There's never an H. You have to go back and see did I do something wrong was an instant restart. What is the notation? So what happened is it went to a higher high in the week of November the 19th of 2022 and that's where it went to 11.34 and that was a peak B. And then what happened is it dropped very sharp into the sevens and then it had another run and it had a peak A, B, C, D and that D was underneath the previous high of 11.39. It was $11 round number high. And now what happens is that negates that peak B which says that you should have gone to a C and D because it made the D underneath. Now we can start fresh and if you hold on, I'll go through where it is right now and tell you where I think my intermediate term is but on a very short term basis, I know what you're talking about. So we'll be back with Gary in a moment. That was up 59. If you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market, then Rocket Equities and Options Report is a newsletter you should try.

Hope all of you are back and we're back with Carol but I just wanted to show you our drew this end during the break. This is the chapwave methodology. We're into a peak C1, C2. That implies in the one-minute chart that there was an exact double top and the technical will start to weaken and our drew in left side writes out price time action. I said by 10, I think, let me just see what it is, by 10, 10, 20, 10, 10, 25, there should be a pullback that takes you to the 200-period moving average. Well, we just did that. So this is gonna be what I'm anticipating today, just a choppy day and if we can move fractionally high on each high, this is where you have to take something off if you are long. Now let's get back to it. So, Garo, I'm looking at all these different chart time frames, but actually normally you don't hold anything for a long time. You're in and you're out. You get your profit, right? Yes, sir. Every day I do that. Every day. I don't keep nothing overnight. So looking at the longer term, I'm saying to just as a, how can I put it? As a speculation on the projection based on all the activity that it's had over the last many weeks, my suspicion is Uranium, Energy Fuels Inc. Uranium company is getting a little bit tired. 120-minute chart, you did it perfectly. You made a peak D in the 120-minute chart. And now it's pulling back from the interday high, which is below the previous high. It's at a peak D in the daily chart. I don't know what the news was this morning, but there was this huge spike, which is, it's always nice to see. It's better than the spike down, the spike up. So, and you really see, you can see, made a new recovery. I'm calling this peak F for now. Leg D in the weekly chart. And it's done every single thing that I wanted it to do based on my weekly chart. And they two kind of go together. And I actually used the high that was, it was 2021, not 2022, that I was talking about that high that we were looking at in Uranium. I was 11, 30 something. So, on December, on November the week of the 12th of 2021, UEC went to 579, pulled back out on its rally. It went higher. It went to 660. You remember, you failed just 20 cents below at a peak D. This made a peak D the week of the 14th of April, 2022. And you can see how it sprung off the 200-period moving average. And the chart says, it really looks like it's attempting to go to 660. So, this is my favorite out of the two. That's not to say that you didn't do a great job this morning, but I'm just, you wanted to go back. I didn't want to go back in the dating because I would have to stretch my charts out. I haven't noted it, but the weekly chart does the same thing. So, I'm looking at it and there's definitely a bowl, a kind of a cup formation or a bowl formation in UEC and the U-U-U has a slightly different pattern. It's more flat, it's taking longer. And I still see it having an upside trajectory because the weekly chart technicals are still very strong. I hope that helps you, because it means that if this shows up on your trading chart, it's a great position to play. And also it's in uranium because CCJ is kind of the leader, it's the big boss there and that had a big spike to a leg seed today and pulling back leg G in the weekly chart making all-time highs. Oh, let me just see CCJ uranium fuel, chemical core, let me just get to this for one second. I think it's not an all-time high. Yeah, all-time high was way back in 2011, way back at a peak E at 44.81. So also beautiful cup formation, getting close to that left side high. So these are great trading vehicles and you chose a perfect one and you did exactly what you should do. Nice, congratulations. Thank you, sir. Thank you, I appreciate it so much for your time and listening to me. Have a nice day. Thank you, thank you too. Okay, so folks, 1,051 S&P is up six. You can see it's a real struggle. And as such, what we're all looking at here is if I need to just look, yes. So let me just do this. I don't think I finished, I did, I don't think I did gold. Gold, I think I did it in the update. Gold is down, down one and a half at 1889. After three horrible red candles taking out the left side low of August, now down under the 200 period moving average, we got another day and a half to go before the Friday close happens in gold. But right now it's under the 200 period moving average and it's changing that weekly. You can see I during this rectangle about a year ago, I said, I see a rectangle here forming that's the bulk of the trading range for gold between 20, just over 2000 and just under 1890. And here we are at 1889 right now. So it says that if you start to trade anytime next month on a weekly basis underneath, I would say 1850, something's terrible, something really is wrong with gold. Meantime though, you have to put into the perspective that the dollar, which by now should be giving back something, yeah, red candle minus 0.38 ticks at 106.34 at a possible peak D. And one look at this, he has the UUP, this is what we actually own for subscribers to my opening call. I can't count this at this particular point as anything else but the G slash C. So I'm watching this very closely because why the weekly chart has a different pattern to the actual gold, sorry, to the dollar index. And you'll see what I mean. Look, he has the dollar on the weekly chart, whoops, he has the dollar on the weekly chart. And let me just get to it, there it is. And look at the difference. This is stuck in a range. And I had said, oh, weeks and weeks ago, I said, I know that the dollar is breaking down and hitting the 200-period moving average. The next rally has to close two out of three weeks above the high of, I shouldn't have memorized by now, 106.88, I think it is. Yep, 106.105.88. That was the high of the 10th of March of 2023. And if it does that, it turns this whole midpoint of 103 to 104 into a really important support on the next big pullback. So we're watching it very closely. So as it stands right now, a dollar has pulled back. You've got EUR, USD, this is the euro-dollar currency pair. Nice green candle inside bar. It broke underneath the key support level. Sycastics at 9%, MACD is very weak. 9-period moving average is way under the 14th. It would take a move to 107.50, 107.5. For this to see the pink 9-period moving average even get close to turning up. So it's a work in progress. And if you look at the USDJPY, it's down 0.39. Also at a peak D with a slightly lower high today at 1.4925, down 0.39, with none of the technicals weakening at all, 96% in the stochastic. I think it's gonna take a few days going into early next week before we already see some kind of extremely oversold condition. What maybe we get next week? It's Thursday, Friday, that's ugly. And then Monday we make that big turnaround. I don't know, I'm getting close to seeing a pretty decent turnaround. We haven't got it yet. And so therefore, now I need to go to the questions that I had. Could you look at the SMHs? Yes, let me just see a couple of questions that came in as well. Okay, so I'll write that down. I'll put this down right here. Oh man, time to slide. All right, so what we're looking at is this is a leg A up in the SMHs.  It's exactly in the one to one to the downside. But look at that weekly, it's underneath what was the inside track. Broke Pellin's zone, now it's the Reef Pellin's zone. I'll be back in a moment. 1000 Chapters, $43, PSP 75, we'll be right back.

I had a question about this particular candle on ASPN Aspen Arrow Gel's ink. It showed up yesterday on my streamer list, but we have someone in the den who's been trading it beautifully. What is this long candle here? Well, this long candle, if it has no wicks, it's called in Japanese, candle stick notation, it's called a maribosa candle. And I'm prepared, even when it's that big, I'm actually prepared to call it the same thing, even if it has a tiny wick at one of the ends. In this case, it has a tiny little wick on both ends, but the principle is that I usually use is how it... Remember, a candle means absolutely nothing. You've got these people that talk about candles all the time, and I say to myself, really, I just see three or four candles that I use really extensively, like this way, Chapman Wave Roman candle. This one in this particular case is called the maribosa. That's the standard one. The ones I've made up, a long-legged doji and the Chapman Wave Roman candle, as well as I use a particular technique called a silent doji candle and ribbon on that. But in the meantime, so the candle here, what I usually expect is three outcomes. One is very obvious. The next one becomes very obvious very quickly. And the third one is an unfolding mechanism. So what I look at is this kind of candle very often gives back because the last hour of trading when it's really strong in the whatever chart you're looking at, very often that last hour gives back about 30% or so of that last hour gain. So this is kind of, that's the one scenario. The second scenario is it turns around immediately and gives back a huge chunk, sometimes the entire candle. That's not very often, but that's the other. The third one, let's say the first one. No, I usually do it the other way around. I say if there is an explosive move, the second bar, another bar like you had right here, and it leaves a gap and after the first 20 minutes or so, you've gapped up and you're holding very strong. That is a very, very, I wouldn't even think of shorting that. So that's for number one. Number two is just an immediate pullback and that immediate pullback can be just sharp going halfway into the candle or it could be a full pullback like that Eiffel Tower straight up straight down. And the third one is a series where it has an indecisive day, a little doji candle, and it's invariably followed by a red candle the next day. So that's a three bar sequence. So remember, candles mean nothing. They only mean something on the subsequent candle. You've got it, it's got to do what it normally does. Otherwise it means nothing. Okay, now the other thing I want to look at, yes I got interrupted because I was in the middle of what? And I'm always doing about three or four things. Oh, that's right. I looked at the estimators. So didn't MEU get earnings yesterday? Yeah, MEU got earnings yesterday, it's down almost three at 65, 27 had made a peak D. This is micron tech. That's the reason why we remain short there, the semis. I think a lot of them got extremely overboard and I'm including NVIDIA in that category. Look, NVIDIA hasn't done all that much. When you think about it on the weekly chart, it's just back to where it was a couple of months, about a month or so ago at 4.24 up 30 cents. But since it had that big spike, that very last big spike to 502.66 back in late August, it's given almost all of that back. That is the move that started from 403.11 back in August around the 14th. And that just says it's in a big digestive phase. I think in the next big move to the upside in the market, which I'm not ready to say that's going to happen just yet, I think you have to wait. I think there's going to be a lot more going on. And that's going to include the semis once again. They just having a huge digestive phase. The question in the den was a statement. Basil, your point of gold in trouble is spot on. Ha, spot on, very good. The general Newmont mining, he calls the general Newmont mining. It could be, I just, I don't really have a general in golds anymore. I used to consider Newmont very, very important, but there were others as well is bad. I think it was royal gold that I used to think that. That was the title because it was basically, it was an income stream that came from just a handful of people running like a fund and getting the profits on that. NEM is badly wounded and still in tailspin, thoughts on NEM. So Scabbles is what I'm looking at here. Look, NEM is Newmont mining. So Newmont is trading down today, 41 cents of 36.87. I discusses, I haven't updated this. Remember the Chapman waiver was looking for a buy signal to go to a buy mode that takes you to at least a P.D. And if the stochastic suddenly fails after that, that's the clue that you're going to be in trouble. And then if the 914 turns negative, that's another clue. Well, yeah, it goes to peak A, peak B, peak C, peak D. We're always expecting at least a D or an F and then other things can happen. There's your E and it goes plop and reverses really quickly and it's taking out the left side low. And now I've got a one to one measurement that says Newmont mining, the low that was made back in 2020, I think it was April, no, let me just check. March, March of 2020 is 33, round number low. Oh, I should put that in. 33, round number low, three, 20, 20, not 29. We haven't quite got to 20, 29, 20, 20. Okay. And here is a 36.83 and it says that by, is that? It's a monthly chart. So that says by November, there should be a test of 33 if this pattern is going to continue. And we won't know for a little while because we have to see how September closes then if October begins below 39 and by the first or second week of October, it hasn't gone above 39.  But I'm just saying, yes, you're absolutely correct. Scarborough, this is a very ugly chart, especially the last couple of days, getting a little oversold could have a bit of a balance, but that 38 level is going to be really important. Okay. Now, here we go. Questions that came in. Payax, P-A-Y-X. Payax is Payax payrolls, payments, et cetera, had a really interesting catalyst and it must have been earnings. I don't know, I wrote it in and I can't remember what the question was, but all I can say is that it doesn't look very good. And even though it had a really interesting candle yesterday going all the way down to about 110 and then hitting 117 and today the high is under 1865, I need to watch this because this is telling us this goes together with Sintas. Look, Sintas was looking almost the same. Look at this monthly chart, almost the same. With nice moves to the upside, higher highs, higher highs, actually made an all-time high, just about three weeks ago, it is 500 and I should have typed that in, right? 500 and 24.76 on the 15th. Five, 24.76 on this is nine, 15. So can you believe it, nine, 15, up at five, 24. Today it's at 483 and I want to spend time. It's not tomorrow's technical Friday. If someone wants to remind me, I'll do more on this huge move to the downside and what happens in the next three bars we'll deal with that tomorrow. But there it is, Sintas overall performs a monthly chart of still only in leg E. The peak chart has got it after the possible downside. The peak chart has got it after the possible down arrow tomorrow at the club. Down to 43 as a piece up, 3.36 we'll be right back. The Gold Report. As a precious metal, gold is still king.

Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. I'm just trying to do something here with the crude oil. Actually, no one, I'll just hold tight and see if it's for the moment. Crude oil does look like it wants to get to $0.92. $0.92.72, it might pull back another $0.70. We'll see what happens. Okay, in the meantime, I also want you to do this EES to see if I want to put something on right now. Okay, look at the rectangle formation. Our longer rectangle formation closes three o'clock yesterday afternoon. We've been basically trading between 43.30 in the E-mini, December, and 43.00. That is the tiniest range it's been in for quite a while. And now I think it's starting to move 10.20. Yep, we're past 10.20, it's 10.42. Now we should have a rally that attempts to get to the 43.25 level over the next day. It's either going to be very quickly or it's just going to be a struggle because today's the day you've got buyers and you've got the new buyers that say, hey, hey, I'm done with this downside. I've got to get some of this. I'm really attractive prices that are being met in some of these stocks. And then there's another one that says, no, no, no, we think this is a major selling. They're ready to sell everything. I think the winners are going to be just on the shorter term. The buyers, at least that's the way we're playing it in this particular move up. I should have taken that long right there when it flipped to the nine flip to a positive. All right, well, too late. Let's just get to the questions from yesterday. So Payex, I can't remember what the story was. I want you to put it together just kind of for information purposes with something like a CTS, C-T-A-S, Sintas, which is in everything. I mean, this is overalls, uniforms, you just name it, cleaning up toilets, everything, right?  And it's just telling me that on a shorter term basis, the weekly chart is being impacted because of that very sharp move that went to sell mode yesterday in the daily. But I have to wait for Friday's coach to see if I'm actually going to call this a sell signal because that nine is still way over the 14 in the weekly chart. And the monthly chart is still only in a leg E up. I'm suspecting that a huge chunk of the down moves that we've seen in the daily charts, which are only now as we're coming to this last week of September, impacting the weekly charts, says that either we've got a whole new, when the weekly charts start down, we've got a whole new slew of lower lows. I don't think so. I think a chunk of it has been done for now. Then there's going to be a balance. And then the retest will be this whole thing that I call the internal low and the residual low. And what does that mean? In this case, it'll be right here. Let me just pull this up right here. This is my chart of the Dow. I use this back in July, the 26th, I'd said DNCC. That is the ChapaWave dark news cloud cover using the daily Dow chart. I say, we've got a problem coming in. That's the reason why on August 1st, a few days later, we went short the Dow and we've been short ever since there's a lowercase h that goes to a lowercase m. I don't use those patterns here. I only use the 914. And look, that is still expanding. And it says we should be coming down to the whole area of 33,200 to 31,800. That's got to be the big cushion. Do we break it? And I'll only talk about that if by early next week, we take out 33,200. If we haven't, then we go back into the range, okay? Got that out the way. The reason why I mentioned it is because Sintas is either now only starting as downturn or it's just being impacted by something that's going to repair itself over the next couple of weeks or maybe a month and a half. I don't know. What I'm saying is that it's only a leg E. It's still in a leg E at an all-time high in the monthly chart. So that was the question there. Next thing is CHK, CHK, oops, where did it go? Oh, I always do that. Let me do this one more time. INDU to get that chart to stay with the Dow. And we'll go to this chart here with CHK. And see, oh, Chesapeake, here we go. CHK, yes. Come on, come on. Oh, Chesapeake Energy. I've had this notated over the years. I don't know why it's not. And in fact, it got taken over or something. That's why it changed. It's been around forever. So you went to a peak A, monthly peak B, peak C, remember the lower low, if you can do it visually, because obviously this is the low right here, right there, just under 40. And then he goes, first peak A, peak B, leg C, leg C, it's a floating letter until it makes a peak, makes a peak, two bars rest. Know my rule of 136, and then it makes a fractionally higher high. So let's just check that out. May of 2022 goes to 105 round number high, and then August, it goes to 105.55, I was right. So that's D, and then it goes to an E, and then it goes, and isn't this interesting? D, E, and I can now put it down arrow because it closed sharpie under the 914 negative crossover right there, and now it's having a leg. This is a leg A to, great leg A to the upside because the magnitude is still weak, stochastic is very weak at 38%. The weekly chart has gone from a buy signal to a buy mode right here, because look, the stochastic was holding over 80%, and it went peak A, peak B, peak C, and there's your D. How many D's did we get? D's and E's, wow, amazing in the chat, when I discovered that when I was hand charting back in the late 1970s, early 1980s, let me tell you, there was quite a discovery.  Yes, it can do that in a microsecond except for one little thing. You've got to be able to explain it in this very complicated sequence in a couple of, just in a mathematical formula, and that's a really difficult thing to do. I'm sure, I'm starting to work with AI finally. That's A, so I'm, it's a work in progress. It always works in progress. D, this is A, gray A, gray A, gray A, and this is either E or a B, but it goes to E slash B because an alternate count, but look what happened. Magdy turned down stochastic, only went up over for about five bars or so, and then went negative. That's the worst thing that you can see. And then the unbalanced volume pulled back. So look how far it pulled back, but it's still got a higher high than that. So this is a gray A right here. So okay, Chesapeake, where to start a position? I think the energy sector is becoming a little extended, but this is in its own world. I think this is electric. Am I not? I might be wrong if someone can just remind me. At this particular point, XLE is getting to the double top in the 94 area. It's a 92.52 right now. It could go a little higher, but this is where I would expect to see some kind of, and this is all fitting into us getting closer and closer to a dollar pullback, or maybe having a balance, and the market itself having a really nice move up. So that's the reason why we wanted to start a long position today, a little bit of aggressive long position, because I think some kind of a base. So I'll give an answer to that in a moment. It's the HK talk to start a position, see it's a new position. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball.

I'm going to suggest have three positions. Your first is just right here at 86.78, but the plan would be if it holds well and it actually moves to the 87.30 level and then pulls back, that pullback we might use as an add-on for a second position. But this first position has to have just for the moment a one and a half, I'd even say a two point stop. Right, we're getting a little toppy, but it's in an area. I forgot to look up in the break. Exactly which area? I think it's electric. And that makes it a little different. But if I see that it's in natural gas oil or something like that, I might have to have Chesapeake energy. I might have to make a change there. So in the meantime, back at the ranch, start a position right here at 86.78 and we'll handle the position by looking at it with a stop of about $1.05 right now. Make it $2.00. And if it can go to a higher high by the end of the day or early tomorrow, 87.19, so far if it can go to 87.22, then make the stop at $1.50 for the moment. I think that we're gonna be moving higher. I think that's slowly but surely just a little bit higher today, all together in the overall market. Now quickly, I wanted to look at, I did that, did that, yeah, triple M, one, two, three. There it is, triple M. I said be careful. It's a nice move up. Is this going to be one of those? Triple M, one, two, three. There it is, triple M. I said, is this going to be one of those that has just a pop and that makes a generation, takes out the left side low? Or is this something that in the next big move up, triple M becomes a leader? So far, it's coming back, all of those gains around 88 and 92 about it just the left side low. I'm just saying, be careful, cash is a good thing, but selectively start with a little bit of money to work and see what happens. Have a wonderful day. Check out more, we call more daily news there. See you tomorrow.


If you're in the mood for a unique horror comedy and you keep thinking to yourself, man, what happened to the found footage style films? Well, you're in luck. There's a movie called Deadstream that fulfills that need, that craving that you have. All you need is shudder. Let's talk about Deadstream. This movie review comes at the behest of Joseph Riello on Patreon at Patreon.com slash Adam does movies. He's a Mithril member, which means he gets to request a movie. I have to review it, give him a tip of the fictitious hat. So we're talking about Deadstream today. This movie came out in 2022. It's not rated. I don't know why it's not rated. IMDB says it's not. I would put it at an R though. There is some blood. There is some gore. No nudity that I recall. And the most important part for me, it's only an hour and 27 minutes long. Get seeing it gets out. Doesn't waste time. But is it a good hour and 27 minutes? Well, I think it is. I think it is. Is it great? No, no, but it is creative. It plays with the tropes and it has a hell of a lot of fun in the process. It also brought me back to my childhood days, filming with my buddies, these found footage style whoreflicks out in a cornfield or in a creepy basement, cameras shaking, people are freaking out. Now I will say this, the found footage genre can really turn people off due to the overwhelming amount of shaking. It seems like a director strapped a camera to a bird and let the thing loose. That's not the case here. This is actually found footage how it would be shot by a person that at least knows how to hold their arms straight when they have a camera in it. They're not just doing this the whole time. No, it's polished found footage. And the film is able to get away with creative shots, different camera angles because we're following an influencer, an obnoxious influencer. Joseph Winter plays Sean. He's basically the only character in this film. You're following him the entire time. Actress Melanie Stone shows up playing Chrissy a little bit later in the movie. It's a smaller role. She's solid. They're both really good at what they're doing here. Sean specifically does a fantastic job embodying the obnoxious creator on YouTube, on TikTok, wherever this person lives. They exist all over the place. He actually reminds me of a character I do called Khaleesi Grimes 82 on a show called The Cringe. Used to be on this channel. You can find some of them. Now it's a Patreon exclusive and a YouTube join exclusive. If you're at the $10 membership, you can watch those every single month. New episodes of The Cringe are coming out starting in just a few days. So I'm very excited. I'll have an announcement video on that separately. But for now, Joseph absolutely nails it as Sean. And that's going to come at a price for some viewers. Some people might not be able to stand Sean. He's very dramatic. He's very over the top. He screams at the top of his lungs constantly anytime he hears a noise. He's just freaking out. It can wear a person down for sure. All right, let's get the premise out of the way without ruining anything. Sean's one of those douchey content creators that goes around filming dead bodies in woods.  And now he's trying to revitalize his career, make his image a little better. And to do this, he does the only thing that a person of his stature would do. He breaks into a haunted house for the night where he's going to record everything. He has all these rules where he's going to throw his keys into the woods so he can't escape. Anytime he hears a creepy noise, he's going to investigate. He's going to go against normal people's instincts for the lulls, for the views, for the revenue. What a great time to be alive. This is very much comedy first, horror second. I found it scary maybe twice because of the atmosphere they built up just kind of like what's behind this door, what's behind this closet, sort of a thing. The lighting's very bright. It's pretty punchy. You're inside a very creepy house, but it doesn't feel that scary because the lights are always pretty bright in the rooms, even when it's dark. It's still pretty solidly light. And that's not a negative necessarily, but if you're looking for something that's going to scare you, probably not this. This one's going to make you laugh. It is going to entertain you. You'll get in, get out, and you'll be like, well, that was a fun little experience. Definitely something new and refreshing for a change. A few highlights for me in this thing. I like that they even incorporated the music to the found footage angle where Sean has made his own mixtape and he plays John Carpenter-esque songs when he goes into different rooms. I like that Sean's character is so phony that even when he's scared, he still comes off as disingenuous. This guy is so far gone from how a normal person responds to things that it's hard to really believe anything he's saying or take it seriously.  Is it all elaborate setup? My favorite thing about this is how he interacts with his fan base. He asks them questions. You have the live feed coming in once in a while where people are making fun of him. They're calling him dad. It's pretty damn funny. And they even submit videos telling him what they think is happening in the house. That stuff was really well done. It did add a little bit of eeriness to it all. They could have even gone further with that. As it stands, Deadstream, a very easy watch. Thank you again, Joseph, for the request. I enjoyed this one. And thank you to all Patreon members and YouTube join members for the support. If you somehow came here for a search result, feel free to subscribe to the channel as I post tons of movie content each and every week. Old films, new films, everything in between. I would love to have more people, more eyes on these videos. Like this, if you had a good time. And please comment if you saw this movie or didn't, and your thoughts. Let me know.
