What's happening here? Why should we be worried and how worried should we be about the global economy?

Effectively, you've got these long-dated bond rates continuing to increase.

Think of them effectively as the signals for interest rates on everything else that we pay.

So the official cash rate looks at interest rates in the short term over a couple of days, couple of months, has a much greater influence.

Your bond rates influence what you pay for mortgage rates of one, two, three, four plus years.

And so the fact that they're all increasing across the world does start to raise that borrowing cost that not only households will have to pay, but also, of course, what government has to pay on its pretty large stock of debt.

What you're seeing across the world, I think, is quite a few things coming together all at once.

Are we headed for an economic collapse of that scale?

What do you say to consumers about the longer view that you and farmers are taking?

Well, I think, you know, short-term is good.

I mean, we would...

You know, all of us as consumers would like to see the prices go down some, but I think you could look at that across all sectors of our industry or of every industry and say the consumer would like the prices to go down.

And at the end of the day, the prices are up on the farm, but they're up considerably more in the grocery store than they are on the farm.

And so as I said earlier, this is the one and really only bright spot in agriculture now.

And I would say that as we continue to lose more farms, it has been said by multiple secretary of agricultures across both party lines that food security is national security.

What kind of policies would you like to see?

So Brad, what did you find when you looked across this region as to what teachers are doing or how they're involved in this process of sort of ed tech adoption?

Right.

I think that's a really important piece.

I'm one of those who believes that teachers might be the most important system lever in the entire education ecosystem.

One thing that we found is that very rarely are teachers included in the work of designing and developing the education innovations.

And maybe that's something that we'll come back to.

It seems that there are innovators who are really focused on doing cool stuff and having their idea come to life.

But I think we won't reach the last mile unless we, you know, the quote unquote last mile, unless we prioritize reaching the last mile.

And then this map came out 300 years before the official discovery, correct?

Correct.

Yeah, even 300 years, over 300 years.

So 1821, the first whalers and sealers arrived on the Palmer Peninsula, the finger that sticks out towards South America.

And then the age of discovery began.

But interestingly enough, there are all these other maps around that time.

This one, the Monte Urbano map of 1587.

Sponsored by Chumba Casino.

Because isn't there trouble with the government wanting to regulate them?

Well, yes, they've got in a fight a couple of months back, of course, with Donald Trump's administration in the wider Pentagon.

They wanted to, the US government wanted to use Anthropic and a bunch of other AI tools as part of their sort of defence and military operations.

There was quite a disagreement over just what controls might need to be incorporated there.

Depending on sort of which court you go to, it's either totally fine or totally not fine.

And so, again, as is usual in the American system, they're going through the legal processes.

But the fact is, Anthropix AI tools have become very much market leading.

How much is a share, do you think? How much is it going to cost?

And let me show you what that looks like.

Well, first, the British were also spying on the Nazis moving in down there.

And these are some photos that I took at two of the spy stations on the right, Port Lockroy and also down there at the Vernansky base, which is a Ukrainian base, believe it or not.

The Ukrainians have a base that the British gave them.

And both of these bases are museums.

You walk in there and it's just like, Time stood still there just as they were even old cans of food on the shelves and their old radio equipment.

So they were spying on the Germans the whole time during World Two, and they knew that they were bringing down huge amounts of material and personnel.

El Pollo Loco.

And then this map came out 300 years before the official discovery, correct?

Correct.

Yeah.

Even 300 years, over 300 years.

So 1821, the first whalers and sealers, uh, arrived on the Palmer peninsula, the, the finger that sticks out towards South America.

And then, uh, the age of discovery began.

But interestingly enough, there are all these other maps around that time.

right

right

and so yeah this new schwabenland expedition um And I just saw recently that the flag for the Kriegsmarine, you see those stars on the lower flag? Well, that's the Southern Cross.

That is only visible in the Southern Hemisphere.

So why would they have a flag for their...

U-boat core with the Southern hemisphere, Southern cross on it.

Just like in Australia, they also have the Southern cross or New Zealand.

It's a, it's, is prominent of a constellation in the Southern hemisphere is our big dipper is in our night sky.

I think it's like a nod to that, maybe.

And then this map came out 300 years before the official discovery, correct?

Correct.

Yeah.

Even 300 years, over 300 years.

So 1821, the first whalers and sealers arrived on the Palmer Peninsula, the finger that sticks out towards South America.

And then the age of discovery began.

But interestingly enough, there are all these other maps around that time.

And let me show you what that looks like.

I know there was... an operation before operation high jump that admiral bird was involved in that also he may have came across these non-humans as well is that right

well that's what he writes about in his diary and of course there's a whole chapter on admiral bird as well as um operation high jump in the book But in Bird's diary, where he goes into a secret expedition and journey to a paradise inside the earth, this is the cover of his diary, which is still in print.

Still pick it up on Amazon and elsewhere.

And so I quote from it and basically paraphrase the entirety of the diary.

It's not very long of a book.

So it's easy to kind of tell you some of the highlights.

And that is, he was the very first pilot to fly over the South Pole in 1929.

Talk a little bit about what you focus on on black goo.

Yeah,

life is still pretty expensive.

The good news is as we head into summer, you're seeing some areas of relief.

The likes of fruit and vegetables becoming a bit cheaper as we get into that better growing season.

But look, as you're thinking of Christmas sort of lunch or dinner, I don't think you're going to be wanting to put the likes of mince patties or steak on the barbie or anything given that those have increased.

In fact, a couple of months ago, right, we were talking a lot about butter.

Mint's now the new butter, in a sense, given that that's increased.

Well,

I don't know.

...

Elvis was super into UFOs and so was, uh, Richard Nixon who made him, he gave him some kind of ambassadorship or he, he nominated him for something, whatever.

The day before, uh......

Elvis dies 1977, they find that there is this Wow! Signal, which is a strong radio signal detected on August 15th, 1977 by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope.

Avi Loeb says its origin was inferred to be extraterrestrial, but the new explanation suggests it may have come from a burst of hydrogen emission from an interstellar cloud triggered by something like a magnetar, which is a very magnetic neutron star.

Avi Loeb points out that the signal came from the sky coordinates very close to those of the interstellar object 3I Atlas.

Wow.
