The biggest difference between winners and everyone else isn't talent. It's speed of action. Watch what just happened in 32 seconds. A speaker holds up a $1 bill. "I'm gonna sell it for $1." He counts down. 10 seconds. Out of a room of hundreds, two people start whispering... to each other. Deciding. Calculating. "Is this real? Is there a catch? What if I look stupid?" He warns them: "Be careful." One person steps up. Grabs it. "There you go." Everyone else? Still sitting there. This is the whole game in miniature. The opportunity was identical for every single person in that room. Same dollar. Same offer. Same 10 seconds. The only variable was who moved before the window closed. Most people don't lose because they lack ability. They lose because they spend the window analyzing instead of acting. By the time they've convinced themselves it's safe, someone faster already has the dollar. I see this every week with founders, executives, investors. The AI wave, the market shift, the next funding round, the offer is on the table for everyone. The dollar is real. But 95% of the room is still whispering to their neighbor, asking if it's a trick. It never was a trick. It was just a test of who moves first. 10 seconds. That's all you get. What are you doing with yours?show more

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew. And what that allowed them to do is change their relationship with the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn. And the thing about common knowledge in the social realm is that it's what props up our social relationships. And so when something is blurted out, then it can change everything. It changes the nature of your relationship with someone. Maher: And we do have sort of a modern version of the Emperor parable, which is Joe Biden. I mean, he was the Emperor who everyone wouldn't say had lost his marbles. I mean, is that not really the same story? Me: It is the same story, because opinion polls showed that after that disastrous debate with Trump, the number of people who thought that he was cognitively impaired didn't go up by that much. It went up by a few percentage points. But before, a majority of people thought that he was cognitively impaired. The difference is, when it's on TV, where you're watching it, you know that the rest of the country is watching it, you know the rest of the country knows the rest of the country, it's no longer private. It's common. And that's when he was challenged. That was the end. Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher

What you're looking at started as something that most people drive past without a second thought. - Industrial - boring - overlooked And someone looked at it and saw something no one else was seeing. That's the whole game here. You don't have to invent something brand new to make serious money. You just have to see potential where everyone else sees limitations. You have to look at what already exists and imagine it just a little differently. So when you turn something familiar into something unexpected, it becomes shareable and memorable. It becomes the thing that people can't stop talking about because it's different in a world where everything feels the same. People will literally travel hours just to stay somewhere like this because different is the experience now. Nobody cares about another cookie cutter hotel room that they've seen a thousand times, but this gets filmed and posted and sent to friends with the caption "you have to see this place" And suddenly you're booked out months in advance because you gave something people can't get anywhere else. I love that the raw materials here aren't special, it's just space that was sitting there unused and cheap to acquire The success of this is found in the willingness to look at what everyone else ignored and ask "what could this become?" Instead of just accepting what currently is. That's where the opportunity is. There are thousands of: - shipping containers rotting in fields - old grain silos sitting empty - warehouses no one's using - barns that haven't been touched in decades And every single one of them could become something people would pay to experience if someone just had the vision to see it through. You don't need to build it from scratch. You just need to reimagine what's already sitting in front of you. Because the world is full of overlooked things waiting for someone to look at them differently. And I don't care if AI generated the video because the inspiration you get from it is still the same.

This is one answer. 1/2 REPORTER: Mr. President, Tulsi Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. From your perspective, who should the DOJ target as part of their investigation? What specific figures in the Obama administration? TRUMP: Well, based on what I read, and I read pretty much what you read, it would be President Obama, he started it, and Biden was there with him, and Comey was there, and Clapper the whole whole group was there. Brennan, they were all there, in a room. Right here, this was the room. This is much more beautiful than it was then, but that's okay. I have nice pictures up, they came out of the vaults, they were in there for 100 years, this is much more beautiful. We have the Declaration of Independence now in the room, which wasn't here. I guess people didn't feel too good about putting it here, but I do. But you know what, if you look at those papers, they have a stone cold, and it was President Obama. It wasn't lots of people all over the place, it was them too. But the leader of the gang was President Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, have you heard of him? And except for the fact that he gets shielded by the press for his entire life, that's the one they, look, he's guilty. It's not a question. You know, I like to say, let's give it time. It's there, he's guilty. This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries. You've seen some pretty rough countries. This man has seen some pretty rough countries, but you've never seen anything like that. And we have all of the documents. And from what Tulsi told me, she's got thousands of additional documents coming. So President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he also got it from crooked Hillary Clinton. Crooked is a $3 bill. Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats, spent $12 million to Christopher Steele to write up a report that was a total fake report. Took two years to figure that out, but it came out that it was a total fake report. It was made up fiction. And they used that. The one thing they weren't able to do was to, and probably the only thing I respect about the press in years is the press refused to write it before the election. They refused to put it in. The Steele report was a disaster. All lies, all fabrication, all admitted, and admitted fraud. She paid $12 million and the Democrats for that report to a wise guy named Christopher Steele. He wrote a phony report, and they wanted to get that report in before the election. And I'll tell you what, I talk about all the time the fake news, how bad it is. But in this case, they wouldn't do it. They saw it. They read it. And they said, "We don't believe it." And it was only after, substantially, like a month and a half after the election that it got printed, and it was a big wisp, it was just like a bang, nothing, because the election had ended. If that report had gotten published by the New York Times or somebody, and I respect the Times for maybe only this, because they're crooked as you can be. They're a terrible paper, a crooked, corrupt paper. But for this one moment, they said, "This is bullshit. We can't put this in." And neither could any other paper. Wall Street Journal's a lousy paper, very, very dishonest paper. As you see, I'm suing them for a lot of money, because they do things very badly. It's a really, it's got a nice name, but it's really, in my opinion, it's a terrible paper, and it can be corrupt. But just so you know, they didn't take the steel report. It was the dossier. Remember the famous dossier? I called it the fake news dossier. The news wouldn't publish it. And I'm amazed.

Warren Buffett just warned that the US dollar could collapse and admitted he doesn't understand most of the stock market anymore. 95 years old, sitting on $380 billion in cash, and the first time watching from the sidelines instead of actively investing. And what he revealed at this weekend's Berkshire shareholder meeting is genuinely concerning: On the market, Buffett didn't hold back. He compared it to "a church with a casino attached" and said the casino has never been more packed. On one-day options: "That is not investing. It's not speculating. It's gambling. Totally." He pointed to the Avis short squeeze THIS WEEK. A rental car company that's been around for 50 years getting meme-squeezed in 2026. The same behavior that blew up retail traders with GameStop is back, except now it's hitting boring legacy companies with zero business being volatile. "We have lots more regulation now, but people spend their time figuring out how to get around the rules rather than follow the rules." That one sentence explains more about the current market than every CNBC segment combined. When asked why he's hoarding $380 billion instead of investing it, Buffett said something no one expected: "I understand fewer of the businesses as a percentage of the whole than I did 10 years ago. I have not learned new industries for some years. I'm not going to have an edge on a whole bunch of younger people that have actually grown up with it." Think about what he's actually saying... This is a man who made $140 billion by understanding businesses better than anyone alive. And he's telling you the current market is so detached from reality that even HE can't make sense of what's being valued and why. He quoted IBM's Tom Watson Sr.: "I'm smart in spots and I stay around those spots." In 60 years of managing money, he said MAYBE five were "really juicy." Five out of sixty. That means 92% of his career was spent WAITING while everyone else gambled. And he still ended up richer than all of them. Then the conversation turned to inflation and that's where it gets really interesting: Buffett said America is "not immune" from runaway inflation. He brought up countries that went bankrupt "six or seven times" in his lifetime. Compared today to right before Volcker had to rescue the dollar, when Americans were borrowing at 12% to buy farmland earning 6% because they believed the dollar would disappear. "Cash is trash" was the mentality. Nebraska farmers collapsed because of it. Entire communities wiped out not by a recession but by a BELIEF that the currency was dying. And Buffett sees that same energy building again. Then someone asked the question everyone wanted answered: Do you see a crash coming? "If you saw it coming, it wouldn't happen. The things people are talking about and thinking about? It's not going to happen. But there are things that can come out of the blue." He compared it to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 that triggered World War I. Nobody was discussing or anticipating it. But it changed the world overnight. "That's particularly true now because of the things that can come out of the sky." A 95yo man who has survived every crash, every war, every crisis of the last six decades just told you the market is a casino, the dollar isn't safe, and the real collapse will be something nobody sees coming. $380 billion in cash is his answer because he believes things are about to get much worse.

This happens all the time at a double lane drive through. Who has the right of way? Many people said it is the person who was there first. Others said it is the person who finishes ordering first. The POV driver was definitely there first but the other car could have pulled up, ordered a drink and was off or they could have ordered ahead. The SUV with the woman in it has the right of way. It is the person who FINISHES ordering first. 💯 Who do you think has the right of way? Do you run into this all the time like so many other people do?

Something that makes Daniel Suarez a fitting winner to the first race after Kyle Busch's passing: In Mexican culture, there is great reverence for the deceased. They are very family-oriented people, and Suarez gets to have his family with him each Coke 600 week. "Kyle, he wasn't my family. But he was someone that gave me a hand when I needed it most. And it wasn't just a hand. It was a hand of a legend, it was a hand of somebody with so much experience. So for that I will be forever grateful. Forever grateful. "Kyle was one of the few drivers out there that I never had an issue with. We always got along amazing. One time he got in trouble in Cancun, he called me, Samantha called me. I mean, some of you guys know what happened there. And then after the race in Mexico City, we partied together, he came to my party. "I just love the guy. He was an amazing person. And for me, one of my goals this weekend is for people to understand these stories of him. Because a lot of people didn't know who he was as a person. Many people, fans, they knew him as a racing driver. "But the person, the person that is behind the firesuit, behind that helmet - that's what counts the most. That family man. Every time that you talk to Kyle about Brexton, his eyes light up. He was a family man. And because of that, this race is so special. All the combination of these things. "And I want to make sure that the focus and the most important thing about this victory is not Spire Motorsports, it's not Daniel Suarez - it's Kyle Busch. Because he was a very, very important piece for me to be here and for Spire Motorsports to be where it is right now."

Hospice nurses say there is a quiet moment that happens in the minutes before someone dies, and most families sitting right there in the room do not recognize it until it has already passed. It is not dramatic, it is not loud, and it looks almost like nothing at all if you do not know what you are seeing or what to look for. Nurses who have sat with hundreds of patients at the end of life describe it as one of the most profound and tender things they witness in their entire careers. The hardest part is that most families only find out what that moment was after the fact, during grief, when it is too late to go back and be fully present for it. You deserve to know what to look for before you are sitting in that room, not after you have already left it. Share this with anyone who has a loved one in hospice care or who is walking alongside someone in their final days.

Bill Maher: "Diseases around the world, it's pennies on the dollar. [Trump] did this the first term... there was a small group of people in China that was there to keep an eye out if, you know, a pandemic might be brewing, and he disbanded them because it costs money. Pennies, we could've possible averted what happened."

Deion Sanders should be the next Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys. I was the first person to say it last year on the set of Monday Night Countdown when it wasn’t a popular opinion. Everyone wasn’t convinced at that time and THAT WAS OKAY. But I saw what Coach Prime was building at Colorado and when you know, you know. Now some of the same people who didn’t believe before, believe now. The difference is the Cowboys need Deion Sanders, but he doesn’t need them. Colorado is home and he built it. The only way they get him now, is if they Draft his sons Shedeur and Shilo Sanders.

Someone just stole from 37,000 $TAO holders and walked away clean. Not because they broke a rule. Because no rule existed to stop them. That changes today. Here is what happened. Covenant AI ran one of the most watched subnets on Bittensor. On April 10, the founder sold their entire position and disappeared. No warning. No announcement. No on-chain signal. By the time holders found out, the price had already moved against them. This was not a hack. This was not a bug. This was a founder legally exiting into their own community with zero accountability. Bittensor just closed that door permanently. The Conviction upgrade is live on mainnet today. Every emission a subnet owner earns now locks automatically the moment it arrives. They cannot touch it immediately. If they want to exit they must submit a public unlock transaction on-chain. Visible to every single person on the network the second it is submitted. Then the clock starts. 30 days before 63% of their position becomes spendable. 90 days before 95% is accessible. You now have a month of warning before the first dollar of sell pressure hits. A silent exit is no longer possible. The founder has to tell you they are leaving before they can leave. And it goes further. Any holder can now lock their tokens toward a different address they believe would run the subnet better. The address with the most locked support behind it becomes eligible to take over entirely. Bad owners can be replaced by the community before they do damage. Before today, subnet investing had one risk nobody could price. The person running it could vanish overnight, and you would never see it coming. That risk has been removed from the equation. Skin in the game used to be a promise. Now, it is a number on a block explorer that every holder can verify in real time. The people who understand what accountable infrastructure means for the value of $TAO will not need to explain themselves later. This is still early.

The people who understand what accountable infrastructure means for the value of $TAO will not need to explain themselves later. This is still early.

Mark Zuckerberg just described the obsolescence of every institution on Earth and delivered it like a product update. Zuckerberg: “I just think in the future almost everyone is gonna have the power of a 10,000-person organization.” He did not say better tools. He did not say smarter apps. He said the full cognitive output of ten thousand human beings. Packaged into a product. Handed to one person. That is not an upgrade. That is the end of the reason human beings organize at all. Companies exist because one brain is not enough. Governments exist because coordination requires hierarchy. Universities exist because knowledge demands infrastructure. Every institution ever built was a workaround for the same limitation. No single person could do it alone. Zuckerberg is telling you that limitation is about to disappear. The 500-person startup becomes one founder and an AI stack. The law firm becomes one attorney and a system that never sleeps. The hospital becomes one doctor carrying every specialist in their pocket. That is not speculation. That is a deployment schedule. And the man writing it runs a 70,000-person company. He employs 70,000 people and just told the world one person will soon need none of them. That is not a prediction. That is a confession from the man who will be first to act on it. But the part nobody is discussing matters more. This technology does not land on everyone equally. It lands first on the people who already command 10,000-person organizations. Zuckerberg does not get the power of 10,000 people. He already has that. He gets the power of 10,000 organizations. Every revolution in history was sold as liberation. The printing press was supposed to democratize knowledge. It built media empires. The internet was supposed to democratize commerce. It built trillion-dollar platforms. The tool always arrives as liberation. It always settles as leverage. And leverage always consolidates upward. Zuckerberg is not wrong about the capability. One person will do what ten thousand once did. But the question nobody is asking is the only one that matters. If everyone wields the output of 10,000 people, what is a single person actually worth? And then Zuckerberg answered his own question without realizing it. Zuckerberg: “If the intelligence of a 10,000-person company is not greater than the intelligence of a single person, then what are we doing here?” He meant it as a case for AI. That is the most brutal thing a CEO has ever said about the people who work for him.

The Buck Stops Here: Epstein Explains Rentier Oligarchy Plainly: The Dollar is a Debt That Will Never be Repaid Here Epstein very eloquently describes the power of finance capital through debt: for every dollar the bank has, it can lend out 10 in "our system". This is impossible for the average person to understand. You need Hudson to decode WHY this is the case, how the dollar operates as the world reserve (with the Euro as a silly lab experiment that is totally subservient and essentially 1:1) and why one dollar of real money equals 10 of speculative potential. It's because the dollar is where "the buck stops" - no one can claim to want anything else because there is nothing else. You either play with the arcades tokens or you do not play at all. The dollar is a Ponzi scheme that represents a debt to itself; one that will never be repaid. In this sense all dialectics becomes self referential and tautological and contained: the dollar hegemony is both it's own debtor and creditor. Epstein wasn't very smart, all he could understand was "I can make 10 with 1 real one." That's it, it's not hard, it simply requires a person to flush all reality down the toilet and ignore all common sense. At the end of the day in "our system" more debt = more asset value. If you told the average person on the street that you were 100 million in debt and this was your "asset", they would laugh. But you have to pay the bank. The financial oligarch and the US Government doesn't have to pay anyone. In a bizarre way, this is actually Communism. The structure of a system that can command the value multiplication of 1 to 10 must have all possible future trajectories planned, all possible outcomes weighed and measured, and all power and authority. Then they kind of calculation required to temporally move labor power from the future into the present succeeds; this is a time machine. But in the hands of a stunted pedophile rentier elite, futures are not planned, there is no guarantee, and the bounty of the future becomes a triangle on the top of the pyramid without anything but a volatile herd of feudal lords pecking away at it's basis. It cannot sustain what is necessary to access the future. Epstein is so dumb he doesn't realize his entire system was essentially explained to the US government by Hudson in the early 70's when they realized that "the buck stops here." It took the last intelligent Marxist to tell the Empire how it's own money worked. "Fractionalized reserves" as the gateway to unlimited debt.

Rick Rubin: "Make what you love, not what you think people will like" "If you want to live in a creative way, which will benefit everything in your life, be a better person in your family, do a better job starting a new business, it's all the same. I don't really know anything about music. It's more a way of looking at the world and wanting it to be the best it could possibly be. And doing whatever it takes to be the best it could possibly be." Rubin shares how his career happened: "From the beginning, I never thought any of the things I'm doing were possible or realistic. I just did things out of the love of them, thinking I would have real jobs. That my passion would be my hobby, and I'd have a job to support my hobby. And it just magically turned out different than that without me knowing it was possible." On why some things connect and others don't: "The stars line up at certain times for certain things to happen. Sometimes you can make something great, and it doesn't connect for whatever reason. Sometimes you make two things you think are the two best things you've ever made. One of them connects with the world. One of them doesn't. And it might not have anything to do with what's in the art. It might be that it came out the same day as something else. Or there was a bigger story at the time. There's so much to it that we don't understand." He continues: "All we can do is make something good and put it out and hope for the best. That's all there is. We never know why things work. Even if you make a piece of art and it works, you may not know why." On talent versus work ethic: "There are a lot of talented people who never make it because they don't have the work ethic. It's not just talent, talent's a piece. And you could argue for some people, the work ethic trumps the talent." Rubin explains what real collaboration is: "Having worked with a lot of bands, I see there's often this friction where people are trying to get their idea in. That's not a collaboration. A real collaboration is when everyone who's there is working together towards whatever is the best thing for the whole. Whether it's your idea or someone else's idea, it doesn't matter. If you're invested in the collaboration, you want the best idea to win. You don't want your idea to win." On what makes art great: "What makes it great is the personal. With all of its imperfections. With all of its quirkiness. That's what makes it great. How you see the world that's different from how everyone else sees the world. That's why you're an artist. That's your purpose in sharing your work with the world." He warns against being derivative: "There are these derivative voices where they're finding what they think other people want to hear, and they start saying it because they've heard other people say similar things that are now successful. Even if they have some short-term success doing that, it's not revolutionary. It doesn't change the world. It doesn't last. The people who you first see and you might not like that you come to like because you don't understand them at first, those are the ones that change the world. Those are the ones you dedicate your fandom to for life." Rubin shares his philosophy on taste: "You can't second-guess your own taste for what someone else is going to like. We're not smart enough to know what someone else is going to like. To make something thinking, 'Well, I don't really like it, but I think this group of people will like it,' it's a bad way to play the game of music or art. You have to do what's personal to you. Take it as far as you can go. Really push the boundaries. And people will resonate with it if they're supposed to resonate with it." He describes creativity as catching waves: "We're really talking about magic. The universe conspiring on our behalf if we let it. Being in this flow of catching these waves that anyone can catch. If you're trying to catch it, you're open to it, you see it coming, you take off on every chance you get. And sometimes the ride happens. It's remarkable how it happens. It doesn't come from preconception. It's not an idea. It's through the doing." Rubin explains how ideas exist in the universe: "Have you ever had that experience where you have an idea for something, you don't do it, and then six months later you see someone else has done it? It's not because they took your idea. It's that it's time for that, and you can act on it or not. The best artists are the ones who have the best antenna for this material that's available. It's coming through. The best comedians see the best jokes. They see them coming. We all live in the same world; the way you see it, you have the best joke because you see it best." He closes with how to stay open: "If we listen to what's going on around us, you can overhear a conversation in a coffee shop, and it is the setup for an idea you're working on. You hear a phrase you don't commonly use. My experience is: when you are open and looking for these clues in the world, they're happening all the time. And they're happening often right when you need them."

The morning Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on Fox and said break up Apple, I had the clip cut before she finished the sentence. Sit down. I'll show you how it gets made, because the people who make it will never tell you, and once you see the seams you cannot unsee them. I run a rapid-response shop. Offices pay me to turn what their member says on television into a donation. This week Apple handed me $300 of free raw material. The MacBook Pro went from $1,699 to $1,999 on Wednesday. DRAM is up 98% in a quarter, the data centers took the memory, a working person eats the $300. Tim Cook calls it unavoidable. AOC is right that the giants are too big. That part is true. I never have to invent the grievance. It walks in paid in full. First thing they don't tell you. She said pursue antitrust, and she said it on a Sunday show, and she did not file a bill. Antitrust is for a company that strangled its competition, not for a memory shortage, so the remedy doesn't even fit the wound. It doesn't have to. A bill takes 18 months and dies in committee. A clip takes me until 9am. Nobody in my trade works in the bill. We work in the clip. So I cut it. Vertical, her face and the number $1,999 in the first frame, because the number is the hook and the hook is the whole job. It lands at 11 seconds, because the second swipe is where you go if it runs to 12. We did not pay Fox for it, so in the report I file it under earned media. Earned. As if the man's $300 came to us on merit. By noon it had 6 million views. I did not make 6 million people angry. They were already angry. I stood where the anger was going to pass and put a frame around it. The frame is the product. The anger is the inventory. Now watch what I do with the man in Ohio. He quote-tweets the clip. He paid the $300 on Wednesday. I don't take his $300. Apple already has it. I take the 40 seconds of him being angry about it, and under his quote I put the ask. Rush $7, fight the corporations that raised your price. The box that says monthly is already checked. He won't uncheck it. Almost nobody does. His anger paid Apple, and now his anger pays me every month until he notices. Here is the part I shouldn't say out loud. The fight is funded by the wounded, on behalf of the wounded, and the wound has to stay open, because a closed wound stops giving. Nobody on the chain is lying. The $300 is real. The grievance is real. That is what makes it move. And here is the number I would lose the account for showing you. Apple spent $10 million lobbying Washington last year, up 30%. That buys the only room where break-up actually happens, the room with no camera in it. My $7 ask runs in the room with the camera. The $10 million runs in the other one. We were never in the same fight. The clip is how the loud room stays loud while the quiet room stays bought. You think this is a left thing. It isn't. Down the hall I cut the same clip for the office that wants to break up nobody, for the member who calls Cook a patriot weathering a hundred-year flood. Same vertical, same 11 seconds, same monthly box pre-checked, the villain swapped in the caption. I bill them both. The machine doesn't have a side. It has a list. You're still reading. That's the tell. You'll decide in a second whether to send this on, and that second is the deliverable. I don't need your money. I need the forward. You're item 6,000,001, and I logged you the moment you slowed down to feel something. So now you know how it's made. The laptop still costs $1,999. The $10 million still bought the room. Nobody got broken up. Tomorrow I open the shop at dawn, and the raw material walks in on its own, paid in full, asking to be cut.

“The Trump administration kept looking at a combination of three matters that needed to be addressed. The political, the security, and the economic while in some other people's minds it was just economic. You want a deal, you want money, you want minerals, please take it and save us from these troublemakers, even if it doesn't address the problem, depending on how they see it. So I'm sure that is what is still affecting, and maybe will affect, the implementation. Because what people had in mind is not necessarily 100% what they are getting. But in addressing any problem like this one, it's give and take. You don't get 100% what you want, because there are many parties concerned with the problem. Each one maybe gets a piece of what they wanted, another gets a piece of what they wanted, and together stability comes out of it. So for me, I think there is a chance.” President Kagame | #Kwibohora31

“I guess this is what they call a mid life crisis. But to me the crisis was the 9 years that I was really unhappy." Bookmark this video—it's long but worth watching. It's the personal story of an MIT educated neurosurgeon who dedicated his life to his profession... only to realize that he was sold a lie. He realized that for most of his patients surgery didn't help and in fact it often made their problems worse. Over time he observed that the patients who improved did it through lifestyle. This is true in every field of medicine. Our system is broken and has lost sight of a fundamental truth: For most illness (not all, but most) the best medicine is exercise, nutrition, belonging, sunshine, nature, peace. The video is also a powerful commentary on what it means to be "successful" and happy. His story is eerily similar to my own (see the link in the comments below for more). Like this guy, I made it to the top of my profession then walked away with no plan. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. It's a reminder to... Be careful what you chase, because you just might get it. But also... It's never too late to start over.

President Biden: The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed. Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself. It was a state case, not a federal case. And it was heard by a jury of 12 citizens. 12 Americans, 12 people like you. Like millions of Americans who served on juries, this jury is chosen the same way every jury in America is chosen. It was a process that Donald Trump's attorney was part of. The jury heard five weeks of evidence. After careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict. They found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts. Now he’ll be given the opportunity as he should to appeal that decision just like everyone else has that opportunity. That's how the American system of justice works. And it's reckless, it's dangerous, and it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years and it literally is the cornerstone of America. The justice system should be respected, and we should never allow anyone to tear it down. That's America. That's who we are. And that's who we will always be, God willing

.Nathaniel E Burleson: “Your parents were there, your husband was there, your daughter to support you on Saturday. What was it like being rushed off the stage? Being backstage while they were still out there and waiting?” Weijia Jiang: “Nate, it was terrible. You’re right. I was wearing many hats, chief among them, mother and daughter and wife, and so when I went in the back and I could see the monitors of the crowd, I immediately looked for them in their table, and I was asking, anybody who would hear me, what happened? Is anybody hurt? Is there a threat? Is there someone in the ballroom? And, you know, it was almost like I was just talking to myself, but begging for answers, not only for me, but for everyone in the room who I wanted to get answers for. But that was a very difficult additional layer, obviously, because my family was right there, and I wanted to make sure that they were safe. That’s how everybody felt in the room, and at the same time, I had a duty as head of the Association to try to provide a sense of calm, to make sure there wasn’t panic in the time.” Gayle King: “Weija, you did that very well. I know Frankie is only seven. How did you explain this to her? Briefly, what did you tell her? Because they must have been terrified watching you rush off the stage that way.” Major Garrett Garrett: Yes.” King: “Your mom is on her knees. Yes.” Jiang: “Yes, she was very scared. But, you know, we had a few conversations about how most of the people in this world, almost everybody in this world, are good people, and when there are bad people, there are also police and law enforcement and people there to keep us safe, which is exactly what happened, and we are deeply, deeply grateful for all of those men and women in uniform who did keep us safe and put their lives on the line to make sure almost 3,000 people in that ballroom went home that night.” Burleson: “Well said, Weijia.” Garrett: “Weijia, nobody could have done it better than you. Thank you.”
