a little bit more like it. Oh yeah, um, for like, uh, we executed a lot better. Um, a lot of plays together for season, a good job. I feel like Ryan, Ryan did a great job, you know, getting a tone line and did a great job blocking. We decided to put it together and it worked for us.   What's Ryan like in the huddle?   So, you know, he speaks volumes, you know, for us as a team and as an offense and him as a player.  So, y'all just happy, you know, the defense, you know, they did a great job, you know, holding that for us at the end.  Yeah, you know, I talked to the offense earlier this week. I just told him, don't lose their confidence.  You know, just ride together with each other, you know, just take one play at a time, and I feel like, you know, the receivers did that, executing on third down and running the great job getting the ball. We just had to go out there and, you know, extend drives to make plays. Oh yeah.  I was getting a feel, you know, and everything was just rolling. I feel like we had great chemistry, you know, and it played off today. This is a game you guys pretty much had to have. What kind of win like this, the way you guys wanted to kind of boost the team?  But, you know, this is a positive thing for us, a good win for us. It's a good team. You know, you got some playmakers on the offense, man.  So, you know, this is a good win. It's a good team and build off of it and heading into Tampa. What coach say to you guys on that fourth and short where Ryan tried to sneak it, you guys didn't make it as far as calling that play and what was the discussion there? You know, you just got to be confident in the play and it felt like Ryan can get it.  But, you know, I feel like it was a good play.  It was a huge turnover. That's defense, baby. So, you know, credit to those guys, credit to our defense.


Hi, my name is Laura and I'm the proud recipient of the 2020 Global Impact Scholarship. I'd like to thank Dr. Mayne, the entire Awards and Scholarships Committee, and everyone else involved in the decision-making process. I'm honor and humbled not only to receiving this award, but to know that an award like this exists at all. It validates my own altruistic nature, which made me want to become a librarian in the first place, and shows that what information professionals do matters and they can make an impact and they can make a global impact. I'm so excited to further my education so I can be a part of that, and I'm so happy to have a scholarship so it can help me do that. I'd also like to say a special thank you to all of the information professionals out there who are doing so much more for this world than just recommending books, even though that's an amazing thing that they're doing as well. So I'm so appreciative, I'm so grateful, and thank you.


Suspense! Autolight and its 96,000 dealers present Miss Lucille Ball and Mr. Desi Arnais in The Red-Headed Woman. A suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Well, Hap, are you over your cold? Oh, no, Harlow, I still feel run down. Hey, watch your words. We're on for Autolight's Stay Full Batteries, remember? And Autolight has done everything to keep these brawny bundles of endless energy from running down. Why, Autolight's Stay Full Batteries have extra water reserve above the plates to foil failure from lack of liquid. Need water only three times a year in normal car use? They've even got fiberglass retaining mats at every positive plate for longer battery life.  So friends, see your Autolight battery dealer and get an Autolight's Stay Full Battery for your car. You're always right with Autolight. And now, with The Red-Headed Woman and with the performance of Desi-Hones and Lucille Ball, Autolight hopes once again to keep you in suspense. Jensen Corporation. Hello. Hello, Linda. Yes. Hello, Frank. Well, look, darling, I thought I told you not to come. I know. I shouldn't call you at the office. I'm sorry, Red-Head, but I had to talk to you. You see, I... Darling, you sound so grim. Is there anything wrong? I... Oh, this is going to be tough, Linda, but you see, I... Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but... Well, go on, dear. You can tell me anything. You know that. Oh, you're sure swell, Linda. That's why it's so hard to tell you. I... Frank, you haven't committed a murder or anything, have you? No. No, of course not. Well, what is it then? Linda, please, I tried to tell you last night. I... I know it's hard to justify, but... But what? Frank, you've met someone else. Is that it? Yes, Linda. I'm sorry. Oh, it's quite all right. Is she blonde or brunette? Oh, honestly, honey, I... Linda, I couldn't help it. It was one of these things. It... it just happens. Sometimes things do. Well, you don't have to explain, Frank. I'll send your ring back this afternoon. I hope it fits her. Good luck.  And then I felt myself getting good and mad.  For two years, my every thought, my every move, had been patterned toward Frank's wishes and welfare. Other girls, the selfish type, were holding their men. It was... well, I made up my mind that the future would be different. From that minute on, I'd think of myself first, last, and always. Suddenly, I wanted to get away, do things, have beautiful clothes, money. Especially money. I suppose it's a kind of independence any woman wants to grab for in a moment like that. When she's found out, you can't depend on a man. Oh, good morning, Linda. Oh, good morning, Mr. Jensen. Feeling all right? Of course. Why shouldn't I? I don't know you. It seemed a little despondent. No, I'm fine. Good, good, good. Oh, uh, will you put this away for me? What? Payroll money? What's only the fifth, isn't it? I'm going to Florida for a couple of weeks, Linda. Oh! I drew the payroll money today because I'm leaving tomorrow. Oh, that sounds wonderful. Yes, doesn't it? I've been thinking about it for years. Say, why don't you take a few days off while I'm gone, Linda? What? Why don't you, Linda? It's a good idea. Certainly I won't be needing you. Well, I could come in on the 14th and handle the payroll.  I can get Walters to... Well, he's pretty busy, Mr. Jensen. I'll come back and handle it. I'll just be in the country somewhere close by. Thank you, Mr. Jensen. Looking back, I suppose I thought of stealing the payroll right then. I must have. For a few minutes after Mr. Jensen left, I visualized how easy it would be. Only he and I had the combination to the safe. He'd be far away in Florida for two whole weeks. I could leave the next day. I could have at least ten days before anyone could find out anything was wrong. I thought about Frank and that brush off he'd given me. How easily I might forget him in new surroundings. Well, when I closed the office that evening, I took the envelope with $21,000 in bills and stuffed it into my handbag. Then, I don't know why, I took the gun Mr. Jensen always kept in the safe. Next morning, I left Kansas City and began driving west. By the next afternoon, I was well into Texas on the inland route. I knew vaguely that I had to get across the border, but the actual fact that I was a criminal hadn't quite percolated yet. A few miles out of Big Spring, the weather changed and dark gray clouds replaced the blue skies. Then I came to a roadblock and I had to detour. It was a winding makeshift road of dirt that stretched on and on for miles. I hated going so slow, but there wasn't anything I could do about it, so I switched on the radio and tried to feel comfortable and forget what I had done. And a few drops of rain splashed against the windshield and I hoped that I'd make the main highway before it really let loose. It was then that I heard the announcement. This afternoon, in one of the most daring daylight hold-ups in Texas history, the Seventh Bank of Abilene was robbed of $40,000. As far as his known only two persons participated, a tall dark complexion young man wearing a light gray suit and hat and an attractive red-haired woman dressed in a green suit. In effecting their successful getaway, one of them shot and critically wounded an elderly bank guard, a veteran of World War I. The couple left in a green panel truck and are believed headed in the general direction of El Paso. More news after our next music. Well, these were worse criminals than I was by far and they'd made a getaway.  To my right, black letters loomed suddenly against the yellow background of a sign. Midland, Odessa, Pecos. I slowed down to 30, rounding a series of blind curves. Coming around the last one, I saw a man standing in the middle of the road. I jammed down my brakes to keep from hitting him. He started walking toward me. I'm very sorry to bother you this way, but my car is out of gas and I was wondering could you perhaps let me siphon a little from your tank? Well, sorry, but I'm low myself.  I've been waiting here for hours. You're the first car I've seen, I would just take a little. Well, I can't. Honestly, I... All right, all right. Then perhaps you would be so kind as to give me a little lift to the next gas station? Oh, come on now, don't you believe in the good neighbor policy? Well, all right. Get in. Thanks. Thanks a lot. We'll find a gas station right on here someplace. I won't even take you out of your way. Oh, that's all right. I'm going in the general direction of... El Paso? El Paso. It all came together suddenly. The radio announcement and this man who was just sitting down beside me. He fitted perfect, dark complexion, like gray suit. I glanced at the car parked by the side of the road. Yes, it was a green panel truck. Well, senorita... Look, I'm terribly sorry, but I don't think I can take you after all. You see, I... Oh, now please, I have been marooning here for two hours. It's very important that I get to Pecos in the next two hours. Oh, and where are you going after that? Me? I'm going to travel all over. After Pecos, I'm going to beat it down to Juarez. That's across the border. From there we go... Yeah, that's what I thought. Look, I would like to pay you for helping me. He grew a sheaf with new bills from his pocket and dropped a fresh 20 into my lap. I opened my handbag and my fingers closed around Mr. Jensen's gun. He looked down at it. Hey, what? I said I've changed my mind. Okay, okay. That's the way you feel. I don't argue with a girl who's got a gun. I didn't even wait for him to close the door. I let out the clutch, stepped on the gas and got away fast. When I finally reached the highway, I speeded up still more. I'd had a bad scare. I'd talk to someone about anything and forget that man. Maybe that was why I was so relieved when I came to the little town of Pecos and saw the carnival a short distance ahead and why I stopped to look at it. Even from the car, the bright lights and the people and the carousel, gaily painted horses going round and round made me feel less lonely. I wanted to get out and mingle with the people and drink some pink lemonade and buy a red candied apple. Go in one of the midway tents and see Tortoro the sword swallower and Lopez the ventriloquist. But instead I ate a hot dog in the car and bought a silver ashtray from a little Indian crow. Then a sudden burst of thunder reminded me of the approaching storm. I started the car and left the carnival behind me. Soon afterwards it began to rain. Then a cloud burst hit. Fifteen minutes later I spotted an autocorner. As I came to a stop, a gray mustached man and a rubber hat and raincoat came out to meet me. Hello there. Hello, how far to El Paso, please? I'm not planning to go there tonight, are you? Well, I... Well, you never make it. A lot of bad spots on the road. I know because in rainy nights I always pick up a lot of money and pull in the stall cars out of mud. Well, maybe I'd better spend the night here then if you have a vacancy. I've got more vacancies than anything else. I'll fix you up with the best cabin on the place just to live in it myself. Come on, I'll show you. It's number three. Sounds fine. Do you mind if I use your phone first? No, go ahead. Go ahead. I'll be right next to the office. Thank you. I'll open the cabin door and neither kill the trash or you can put your car in the sh... I was going to phone the El Paso police and tell them where I'd last seen the man answering the description of the Abilene bank, Robert. I dialed and waited for her to answer. And then I remembered something. There should have been a woman, too. A woman with red hair, but the man had been alone. Operator. After all, there was more than one green truck in the world. More than one dark young man. Operator. Besides, I fought with a shock. I'm in no position to risk there maybe tracing the call and finding out my name and investigating me. I hung up the receiver. I went out and weedled a cup of coffee and a doughnut out of my host. And then I went up to my cabin and went to bed. I woke up about ten o'clock. A car had driven up and stopped right outside my window. The headlights were shining in. When I got up to pull down the shade, I saw the car. It was the green panel truck I'd seen on the road.  Then the proprietor and the other man came out of the cabin next to mine. I lowered my shade and then listened. I'll wait till the storm is over and then I'll go on to El Paso. Is it all right if I leave my truck out here? Sure. There's a guy rising back if you want to use it. No, thanks. I'll just park it here near to the door. I heard him enter his cabin. I locked my door and sat down in the bed. It was very quiet next door.  But then, all of a sudden, I was awake again. Voices, a man's and a woman's were coming from the cabin next door. I got up, opened my window very quietly and listened. You are wrong, Carmencita. It would not be me who is sorry. What do you mean? It shouldn't be difficult for you to figure that out. You mean? I would not laugh if I were you, Carmen. After that, everything was quiet. I was stunned and frozen. Then I heard his door open. I hurried to my window and carefully raised the shade a few inches. It was quite dark and at first I could only hear his footsteps. And then I saw him. He snapped on a flashlight, looked around with it. He was carrying a roll of blankets and he put it down carefully in the wet grass. Then he opened the rear door of the green panel truck. There was a long oblong box on the floor. He stooped over and lifted what I thought was the roll of blankets. But I was wrong. From one end, a head was visible.  I must have thrown up my hands and hit the window shade. It clattered to the top. In the tense silence of the night, it sounded like a machine gun. The man outside spun around. He trained his flashlight on me. He took a long look. Then he turned around and dropped his gruesome bundle into the long box. I turned away. I couldn't look anymore. Finally I heard him walk toward his cabin.  Then I took a chance. I threw on my raincoat and shoes and hurried to the proprietor's office. I were not knocked on his door and called to him. There was no answer. So I wrote a quick note and slipped it under his door and hurried back to my cabin. I closed my door and was just fumbling with the key when the lights went on. No use to lock it now, senorita, and don't make a noise. He was sitting in a chair, smiling. Casually pointing a gun at me. My gun that I'd foolishly left on the dresser. You were not so very smart, were you, sweetheart? This gun, it looks nice. I think you handle it good, too. I almost found out this afternoon on the road, didn't I? Now, look, I wasn't going to use it, honestly. But, well, you know, you read a lot in the papers about the trouble people get into picking up strangers. Yes, yes, sure, sure. You're always careful. Stay out of trouble. Mind your own business. That is very good to remember, senorita. That's all I was doing. Well, what do you want with me? It's just too bad you looked out on me just now. I wouldn't have known you were here. I didn't mean to spy on you. I was awake and when I heard a noise outside, I looked out. That's all. That was natural, wasn't it? Maybe, but it didn't turn out so good for you, did it? Come on now, we got an arrow here and you are coming with me. But where, where are we going? Just places, senorita, just places. Come on now. But what do you want with me? You, you don't want me. Don't want you? Well, I am crazy for you. I've been looking for you. I've been looking for somebody just like you. Decided where you'll go? Not yet. Well, how about the Atlantic Ocean? Or the Great Lakes? Or the Mississippi River? Say, that's a lot of water. Right. It'll remind you of auto lights stay full batteries. That they have longer and larger liquid reserve above the plates as compared to ordinary batteries. Need water only three times a year in normal car use? Or, hey, better still have. Visit the zoo. See the camels. Tell them Wilcox sent you. What? And get tossed out on my ear for suggesting that auto lights stay full batteries can go without water longer than camels can? Well, tell them about those fiberglass retaining mats protecting every positive plate for longer battery life. Tell them that in recent tests based on SAE life cycle standards auto lights stay full batteries gave 70% longer average life than batteries without stay full features. Well, wherever you go, Hap, take along an auto lights stay full battery. You're always right with auto light. And now auto light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage our stars Desi Arnais and Lucille Ball in The Red-Headed Woman a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. It was quite a moment. Jose motioned with a gun for me to pick up my suitcase. And right then the door opened and the proprietor came in. I got your note, Miss. Well, that's all-ish. What's the gun for, mister? Oh, what belongs to the lady? She was just showing it to me. Oh, yeah? Well, yes. Yes, that's right. I'll take it back now. This man bothering you, Miss. Is that why you left the note? I thought of the 21,000 in my handbag. I wanted this murderer locked up, but I didn't want to risk too much investigation. I wasn't bothering her. No, no. I just thought I heard someone at the window. And when I couldn't find you, I went next door and this gentleman was kind enough to... Yeah, I guess I owe you an apology, mister. But when I saw you with a gun... It's okay. It's okay. Forget it. Forget it, amigo. Sure. Well, good night. All right, you. You stand over there. Well, I guess you must be crazy for me, eh?  No, I'm just fond of myself. Things have kind of changed, haven't they, Jose? Oh, you know my name, too. I know all about you. Really? Yes, I guess things have changed. All right, now. That was a good idea you had before about leaving here.  Yes, ma'am. Where are we going? Like you said, places, Jose. Just places. Now walk quietly. My car's right outside. Anything you say, senorita. He drove while I held the gun. After we'd gone about five miles, we came to a side road. I told him to turn. It's a pretty deserted neighborhood, no? Yes. Please, tell me, where are we going? Oh, you're not going very far.  Oh, you're worried about what's in that pile of blankets, huh? Yes, that's right. Somebody might find her. Senorita, please. Not a chance. Oh, look, now, why don't we talk this thing over? I think maybe we could. Uh-uh, uh-uh. I'm not buying a thing. Well, I certainly hope you know what you're doing. Uh-uh. I'm sorry, but we're stuck in the mud. Oh, well, that's a very fancy trick, but it won't work. You don't believe me? No. Well, then get out and see for yourself. And have you drive off and leave me? Oh, no thanks. Come on, start the car. But I'm telling you the truth. We're stuck in this ditch. You better start the car, mister. Okay, okay. Anything you say. You see? Try it again. All right, but it only got us in deeper. What do we do next? You're running the show. You tell me. Okay, I'll tell you. Get out of the car. What do I do now? Pick up some broken branches and put them under the wheels. Like I said, you are running the show. No, no, never mind. It's too dark. I can't see you. Get back in the car here. Well, you give up too easy. Why don't you think of using a flashlight? I don't have one. Well, maybe if you ask me real nice, I will let you use mine. Where is it? It's here. In my coat pocket. All right, Senorita, drop the gun. Quickly. It was over in a second. Before I knew it, he'd reached in his pocket and jumped behind me. I'd forgotten the most important thing of all. I hadn't searched him. I could feel the gun against my back. Now you're going to get into the car. Hurry. Yes, sir. Now you will drive for a while, no? But I thought we were stuck. That is exactly what I wanted you to think. Good, eh? Start the car. Do you know, Senorita? You should have searched me before we started. Yes, I've already figured that out. But this whole thing is kind of new to me. Oh, come on. Let's quit the kidding. You know, I think you would have been very surprised if you would have searched me. You know why? Nothing would surprise me. Oh, I think so. Because you wouldn't have found any gun. Only this. A flashlight. It feels very much like a gun against your back, doesn't it? Especially when you're very frightened. Look, let me go. I swear I'll never bother you again. You won't bother me. Not where you're going. You won't bother anyone. Drive a little faster, please. I drove for several miles without saying a word. Then I took a chance. I speeded up to 60, then jammed the brake to the floor. His head banged against the windshield. He dropped the gun. I grabbed it almost before it hit the floorboard. Now, out again, Mr. Finnegan. We're going to change seats. Oh, my head. That was very smart, baby. Very smart. Almost as good as your flashlight gun trick. It's better. Your trick wins. Oh, well. What goes now? We're heading straight into El Paso Police Department. But, but, but, baby, you can't do that. Why can't I? Because it's too foolish.  No, the Senorita isn't. That's why you're driving straight to El Paso and the police. Yes, ma'am. Whatever you say. I certainly hope you know what you're doing. The Senorita has learned a lot in the last few hours. Drive carefully. He shrugged his shoulders and settled back behind the wheel. I decided I'd been needlessly concerned about the police. After all, no one knew I had the $21,000 in my handbag. No one even knew it was missing. When I handed the police the man they were looking for, they wouldn't bother about me. They would accept my statement that I was just a secretary on my way to Mexico for a vacation. As we entered the outskirts of El Paso, I switched on the radio and settled back to enjoy it. And now our Texas roundup of the latest Texas news. Texans who expect quick and speedy action when it comes to law breakers in our state won't be disappointed when they hear the outcome of the bank hold-up and killing of a guard in Abilene two days ago. What? What's that? Be quiet. Be quiet. Listen. Manowell Milani, a non-Texan, and Betty Murphy, a red-haired Californian, were apprehended today in Big Spring, only 61 hours after their spectacular hold-up of the 7th Bank of Abilene, both freely confessed to the crime, the bravery of our Texas... Hey, wait a minute. You wait a minute. Stop the car. Now, I don't believe it. Neither do I. You don't? All right, then.  Me?  Oh, stop it. It was your accomplice.  Oh, you're crazy. What do you mean I'm crazy? Right this minute, there's a red-haired woman dead in the back of your trunk. What the... Oh, boy, that's a good one. You know you're right. You did hear an argument, and you did see me put a red-haired woman in the trunk. She was dead. Yes, that's right.  She's... The argument, as you say, you heard when something like this... After the money? It is mine, Jose. I don't think you had better forget that. If you do, you will be sorry. Very sorry. You are wrong, Carmencita. I will not be me that is sorry. You couldn't get by without me. No, not even for one week. For heaven's sake. A ventriloquist. What do you mean a ventriloquist? I am the best. Jose Lopez, the great.  You're relieved. What about me? I thought the whole time, here I am traveling with a criminal. Me? How could you think that I was a... Why not? You got the red hair, you're wearing the green suit, just like the description. Oh. Oh. Listen, there's only one other thing that is confusing me. What's that?  All these thousands of dollars in your purse. Well, I... Yes? Well, you... Oh, what's the use? I might as well tell you the whole story. And you know I found myself doing it.  And then it struck us that it was still only the 13th of the month. So we drove back to Kansas City together. I put the money back and the payroll went off just like it always does. And, oh, that Jose, he's so cute and so wonderful. Hey, baby, come on. Hurry up with that dinner, will you? Yes, Jose, dear. Hey, what are we going to eat tonight, baby? And he better be something good. You know, a husband can testify against his wife. Same as usual, amigo baby. And chilladas with tacos and hot sauce. Yum, yum, yum. Chili with tomahawk. Suspense presented by Auto Light. Tonight's stars, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Lucille, I heard your radio show last Friday night. Like it? Sure, a swell show.

They they will not hold back They will lay in the kicks lay in the slaps sometimes lay in the punches. It's it's a different world over there Definitely a lot dangerous a lot more dangerous. They don't play that over there It's kind of a a respect thing to really lay into your opponent to let people know you are out there legitimately trying to Send someone to the gulag. So we're gonna check out some of these The shoot style moments in Japanese wrestling appreciate all love and support you guys have shown on the channel Let's get right into this one man Vinnie's professional wrestling or paro resu is renowned for its captivating blend of athleticism drama and hard-hitting action But every now and then the world of paro resu takes an unexpected turn Blowing the lines between scripted entertainment and genuine combat in this video will delve into the intriguing phenomenon Japanese wrestling occasionally crossing into real fights or Why is the cool kids say into a shoot brother? Yeah, so join us today on this journey through the unpredictable world of paro Storytelling sometimes gives way to real-life intensity. These are the shoots of Japanese resting Our first incident is to do with the dirt by kid and the great sasuke in the summer of 1999 A Japanese professional wrestling promotion called Michinoku pro invited dirt by kid to participate in a mass tournament Where all the competitors had to wear masks One of the first matches on the bracket was the dirt by kid versus the great sasuke for the dirt by kid This was an important match for him because not only was he facing one of Japan's goats But he was also going up against the owner of Michinoku pro wrestling Okay, the dirt by kid He found it odd that he was selected to wrestle in this tournament because he didn't consider himself a mass wrestler He also seemed to be rather upset that his match was projected to be quick with sasuke winning by submission In an act of rebellion when dirt by kid entered the ring He immediately took off the mask making the great sasuke super heated before the match The match started out normally but about a minute or so into it The dirt by kid is hitting all the offense doing many many over-the-top high spots After a few moves sasuke starts to get a little bit annoyed half-assing it but still selling Eventually the great sasuke snaps and he stops taking offense and starts kicking the hell out of dirt by kid in the legs and in the torso This was especially painful because the dirt by kid was nursing an injury on his ribs After kicking the crap out of dirt by kid sasuke picks him up and puts him in a standing choke hold The dirt by kid starts flailing his arms around like crazy and the ref calls for the bell off this match You could tell that the dirt by kid was messed up Sasuke lingered around the ring staring at the dirt by kid as the dirt by kid stood up Sasuke put his hands up in a boxing stance ready to throw down The dirt by kids put his hands up for mercy and extended his hand for a handshake But sasuke just puts his guard down and denies the handshake And the next shoot on this list is He was choking him bro. He was like legit choking this guy. He's tapping Hi, bro. Hi, man. Let me go Versus Akira Maeda right next to Brock Lesnar on the list of people a Resta wouldn't want to be in a shoot with would be Andre the Giant Yeah, especially a drunker than usual Andre like the one that turned up to face Akira Maeda for New Japan in 1986 drunk Andre didn't play nice But neither did Maeda a man with a reputation for being difficult to do business with if things didn't go his way Before the match neither man would agree to lose But they went into the ring with an understanding that the eighth wonder of the world Andre the Giant Would have his hand raised at the end of the night According to legend, New Japan boss Antonio Inoki who had had issues with Maeda in the past Let Andre know that his opponent that night could use a little straightening out come Ball time the two didn't have a plan or a proper finish in place and was apparent from the beginning that they weren't on the same page Hell they weren't even reading the same book Andre lumbered around and tried to swat this smaller opponent away Well, Maeda successfully completed a couple of takedowns and tried to wear the giant down with some very real leg kicks It went on for an eternity much of the bewilderment of the crowd Eventually Andre either got bored or realized he needed another pint or 12 and lay down on the mat before singing for Akira to cover him Inoki stormed out and tried to get things going the way they should but his presence Infuriated Maeda who decided to walk out instead whoa match was officially declared and no contest The next shoot on this list Maeda and it is the shoot that he had with Ricky Choshu in 1997 Ricky Choshu and Akira Maeda were both prominent figures in the world of Japanese wrestling and in New Japan pro wrestling During this scheduled match tensions between the two escalated and the match began to develop into a real fight While Choshu was putting another wrestler in a submission hold Maeda came up around him and kicked him in the face Making his eye bleed and breaking his orbital bones But after this after realizing what had just happened he flipped the exact cause of the altercation isn't definitively known But it is believed that it stemmed from a combination of personal and professional rivalries differing wrestling philosophies and possibly disagreements over the match's outcome The brawl between Choshu and Maeda in the ring was unscripted and intense It spilled outside the ring and other wrestlers and staff had to intervene to separate the two This incident had significant concussions in the world of Japanese professional wrestling as Akira Maeda was subsequently fired from New Japan Pro Wrestling the next incident is He literally went over there and kicked him in his face, bro Now you would have to have the whole roster stop me because fuck this match.  He gonna have to leave Hey, y'all gonna have to make sure I don't follow him cuz I Nah, that's I don't know what they personal beef is but don't Mid-match just kick me in my face, bro. Ah nah, bro Between Akya Sukawa and Yoshiko it happened in stardom in 2015 Basically what happened was Yoshiko was apparently jealous of the younger acts growing popularity And this caused him to have the most brutal shoot of all time in the ring where Yoshiko absolutely Obliterated act despite act trying to fight back I guess I was left with a broken cheekbone Fractured orbital bones a broken nose and a concussion Damn surgery for these injuries and spent a few days in the hospital This incident even caused actor attire from wrestling all together Well, it was Yoshiko and other wrestlers from stardom to get fired because of their involvement That's how serious it was. Whoa, the next incident is between John Tenta.  Hold on. I'm hopping out that ring and getting a steel chair. I bet what do it hit me hit me Hit me Patrick right across the dome piece CTE Like what? No, and Koji Katow Japanese bad boy Koji Katow and the man better known as WWE's earthquake Got into a scrap at SW S's Wrestle Dream in Kobe in 1991 The pair of sumo wrestlers had worked against one another two nights earlier on a co-promoted Tokyo Dome event between the WWE and super world of sports Supposedly without incident was obvious from the off that the two are not cooperating We tend to using his massive frame to immobilize his opponent grabbing a waste lock before taking him to the mat Katow didn't take too kindly to this running outside for a breather before attempting to hold a chair into the ring Oh, that's a test of strength spot. If y'all saw that table. That's one of them stiff stiff tables that It's it's gonna take a couple tries to break that unless you like someone his side You may be able to break it on the first try you may not those those tables Yeah, they don't give no they don't give no way at all But when Katow tried to slap an armlock Tenters swatted him away like a grizzly bear damn Referee tried to get things back on track But neither man was having any of it things were breaking down at a very fast pace Koji Katow who had caused issues both in the sumo and wrestling world before due to his behavior and pension for tantrums Then lashed out and kicked the referee Not content with simply ruining the match Koji Katow then grabbed the microphone and told the crowd that resting was fake that he refused to lose to Tenta as scripted suggesting that if it were a real fight, there would only be one winner He was then escorted away and subsequently left resting for a while our next incident is beta versus Stan Hansen In February of 1990 in New Japan pro wrestling two of the top guys and wrestlers were set to clash in a match with Slava Naka written all over it IWGP heavyweight champion big van vader and all Japan triple crown champion Stan Hansen both former New Japan heavyweight champions Were the only Western stars at the time and two out of a handful of people to dominate the Japanese legend Antonio Enoki in the ring Stan would come down to the ring swinging his signature ball rope The ball rope had a cowbell at the end while Veda was getting in the ring Hansen took a swipe at him with the ball rope Accidentally breaking his nose this sent Veda into a rage and the two men began to hammer each other with real strikes Oh shit first five minutes of the match were extremely stiff due to Veda's frustration and Stan having to defend himself This is how it went until a stray thumb of sorts caught Veda and popped his eyeball out of the socket even hanging out slightly Yeah, I think I did Watch a clip of this on here. I forgot what video it was This makes me cringe. Oh My god to his cheek Veda then popped his eye back in and he took his mask off And his eye began to visibly and horrifically swell shut the two behemoths would then battle it out for another 10 plus minutes Until the match would be ruled a double count out with the IWGP heavyweight championship staying with Veda Not only that but he was also able to hang on to his eye and the next incident is well He's wrestling with one eye his eye literally Almost popped out his damn skull and he had to push it back in and he's wrestling with one eye Holy that's fucking and ah Jesus Christ I Was a Hiko Kimura and Ricky doze Masa Hiko Kimura was a world famous judoka who not only blaze a trail for the creation of MMA in Japan But his love for pro wrestling was evident in the 1950s He created the Japanese Pro Wrestling Association and extended a personal invitation to one of the pre-eminent wrestling legends Ricky dozan He's widely regarded as the father of modern Japanese professional wrestling played a pivotal role in shaping the wrestling industry in Japan There's no other man who had an impact on Japanese wrestling as much as Ricky dozan in the first 15 minutes of the match Kimura aims a kick at Ricky dozan's midsection and accidentally catches him in the groin Normally, this would be grounds for disqualification But the match is not meant to end that way So the referee waves off the infraction, but it's too late because Ricky dozan has seen red because of this low blow Ricky dozan unleashes his brutality striking Kimura again and again The Kimura slumps against the ropes and Ricky dozan kicks him twice in the face with all of his force He pulls Kimura into the center of the ring and then stomps his head viciously Ricky dozan then moves in for the kill as the crowd roars its approval Another strike is followed by a clubbing blow to the back of Kimura's head And a final strike hits Kimura in the neck, square in an artery and he drops like a fouled oak He tries to get up to his feet but is unable The referee counts to 10 The bow sounds and the bow that was scheduled to go 60 minutes only lost it less than 15 And the next incident is between Antonio and Ricky He started beating him up for real He was catching some real punches, real strikes, real kicks Noki and the great Antonio Antonio and Noki was the founder of New Japan Pro Wrestling and the company was brought on a real sports presentation that emphasized fighting spirit The organization in its early days was not averse to bringing in somebody who didn't fit the typical mold to serve as an attraction Enter the great Antonio, a ginormous Canadian strongman who dabbled in wrestling for Calgary's stampede promotion But was more famous for his stunts and feats of strength like dragging cars by his hair or eating 25 chickens in one sitting The great Antonio was brought into New Japan Pro Wrestling in December of 1977 to wrestle Antonio Inoki The bow rang and there was a stare down between Inoki and the large out of shape great Antonio Following the stare down, great Antonio put Inoki in a series of incredibly weak headlocks Three minutes in, Inoki hit great Antonio with a seemingly big drop kick But great Antonio decided to no salad The great Antonio then got in Inoki into striking his raw rubber walk gut Which Inoki did but it had no effect on the monster Inoki was now getting visibly upset Just shy of five minutes in, the great Antonio began clubbing Inoki's back and neck And Inoki had now had enough Inoki snapped and went right off to the great Antonio, brutally striking in the face The great Antonio tried to shield himself But Inoki executed a perfect single leg takedown And began unloading hard kicks to the great Antonio Inoki was going so crazy on him that he straight up just stomped him out As the great Antonio was knocked out and couldn't get up His face was also bloody The lesson, don't mess with a legitimate tough guy like Antonio Inoki Especially in his early 20s Thanks for watching this video, if you enjoyed this video, please check it out Oh my god, bro Oh my, my man's face was just a crimson mask Oh my god, bro Yeah, uh, much respect to those guys over there Them guys and girls, man But some of that shit, I ain't gonna lie to you Kicking someone in the face mid-match Yeah, it sounds about right Everyone in that locker room's gonna have to hold you back, bro Come on, bro, I don't care what the issue is Go according to what we planned for the match Boys going off scripts and fuck it This is wild That's definitely wild, man Comment down below, let me know What was the wildest thing from this video that you've seen Or if you know some any shoot style moments from Japanese wrestling That wasn't mentioned in this video Comment them down below, let me know But I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on channel Road to 150K And I'm still here and speaking to the rest of the championship But I appreciate y'all kicking in me See y'all on the next one, peace


Your breakthrough is on the way. I want to encourage you today with a simple message, and that is that faith and persistence in God's eyes are synonymous. The scripture tells us that if we will persist, if we will continue to do what is good, that it is inevitable that we will reap the harvest of good that is coming our way.  I am here to declare to you that breakthrough is on the way, that you are closer to the goal than you think that God has big plans for you and I want you to begin to pray big prayers to serve the purposes that God has for your life. I'm telling you persist, do not quit, do not give up. I'm telling you, the law of persistence is real. So I'm talking about here today on Spirit Church here on EncounterTV, the law of persistence in this message, persistent faith. Stephen Maktezuma is here with me as usual. He's going to lead you in worship and then we're going to get right into this lesson. Here is Stephen Maktezuma. I want you to believe this, something good is going to happen to you. I want you to expect a miracle. I want you to believe big. I want you to think big. The scripture says he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or even imagine. If you can ask it, God can do more. No matter what you are asking, no matter what your request is of God, he can do more than what you are asking for. He can do more than what you are imagining. He can do more than the vision that you see.  God wants to bless you. God wants to expand you. I want to simply stretch your faith. I want to simply expand your horizon. I want you to stop thinking little. You serve a big God. You don't serve a little God. You serve a big God. It's time to stop praying little prayers. It's time to stop thinking small. People are afraid to think big because they're afraid of failure. They're afraid of what others might say about them as they pursue the largeness of the call of God upon their lives. When you begin to seek everything that God has for you, when you begin to truly pursue the destiny that you have in Christ, people will mock you. People will tell you, all be practical, all be realistic. You know what you need to do to those people? Just ignore them. You have my permission to ignore them. Listen to what I'm telling you. God wants to do something big time with you. God wants to do something great with your life. Now, the standards by which we measure greatness vary from what the Bible teaches, and we need to adapt our standards of greatness to what the Scripture teaches. But the truth is that if there is something that God has placed in your heart to do, then you need to be persistent. If there's something for which you are believing, no matter how far off it may seem, you may be praying for someone to give their heart to the Lord, and you've been praying for them for years, and you've been witnessing to them, and you've been preaching the gospel to them, and you've been reasoning with them, and you've been going through Scripture with them, and you've been advising them, and it seems that their heart is hard. Don't worry. Instead, believe. Only believe. All things are possible. Only believe. Think big. Think grand. Think divine. God is on the throne. He's in control. And when you have faith, when you have persistent faith, things have to happen. They have to change. Listen. One thing is going to change. It's either your circumstance or your faith. And so long as you hold to the faith, so long as you keep believing, so long as you persist, it will break. Look at me.  I want you to believe this because it's based on the Word of God. If you will continue to do what is good, if you will continue to do what is right, if you will continue to believe, if you'll press and if you'll hang in there, then the breakthrough is right there. The Scripture says in Galatians chapter six, verse number nine, so let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. That's the difficult part, isn't it? Waiting until the right time. And people who are cynical will say, well, Brother David, you know, you're talking about waiting. You're talking about hanging in there. You're talking about breakthrough. And I've heard all this prosperity preaching before. I've heard all this talk about God coming through. I've heard all this talk about miracles. And some will even criticize and say, well, Brother David, you're talking about miracles. You should be talking about the gospel. I agree that the gospel message is the priority. It's the primary message that we are to be speaking. But every so often, we also have to talk to the church. We also have to encourage our fellow brothers and sisters. Just because one of my messages may be about miracles doesn't mean that that's the focus of the entire ministry. No, the focus of the entire ministry is Jesus, the gospel, His cross, salvation. But we also have to edify believers. And that's what this channel is primarily for. At least our YouTube version of this channel is to edify the believer, is to build you up. It's to encourage you. And then you may be someone who's saying, well, I've heard all that preaching before. And I've believed and I've persisted, but nothing has ever happened for me. Listen, persistence is not just about continuing in whatever it is that you're doing. It's about continuing in whatever it is that you're doing with the right perspective, with the right attitude, with patience, with endurance, with faith. I can go through 10 years of a struggle without faith. And I can go through 10 years of a struggle with faith. That same struggle will produce two different results with and without faith. So you may say, well, I keep going through the same thing again and again and again. Well, I just want to be blunt with you so we can shake you out of it today. It's because you keep failing the test again and again and again. If you find yourself repeating through cycles of life and struggle, it's because you've not passed the test that will cause you to be promoted. Instead of saying, God, get me out of this struggle or God, when is this going to end? You should be asking Him to in that season mold you, to shape you, to teach you what it is that He wants to show you. God honors persistent faith. Luke chapter 18 verses one through eight say, One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show them that they should always pray and never give up. There was a judge in a certain city, he said, who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly saying, Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy. The judge ignored her for a while. But finally he said to himself, I don't fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she gets justice because she is wearing me out with her constant requests. Then the Lord said, learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don't you think God will surely give justice to His chosen people who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off? I tell you, He will grant justice to them quickly, but when the Son of Man returns, how many will He find on the earth who have faith? Jesus equated her persistence with her faith. When we continually seek God, when we continually do what is right, when we continually sow our spiritual seeds, we can be encouraged that the law of persistence tells us that no matter who you are, no matter what it is you are doing, if you will do what is right, if you will continue to do as God leads, if you will continue to walk in obedience and walk close with the Lord, you will reap a harvest. It's inevitable. It has to happen. Listen, either we believe the Word of God or we don't. Either we believe the Bible or we don't. This is why most will not receive the blessing. This is why most will not enter into the Promised Land.  Most people miss the blessing because most people can't handle the process, and that's just the truth. Most people miss the blessing because most people can't handle the process. They will not allow themselves to go through the necessary struggles to get to the place that God has for them. Instead they'll get halfway through, or maybe even mostly through the struggle, and quit right before God is about to bless them. And again there will always be those who say, well I tried that, well no you didn't, because the Bible says if you did you would reap the harvest. We cannot just go through the motions, we cannot just say I'm here, I'm doing something, we have to do and we have to act and we have to live in faith. That is the key, that's the only difference. Worldly persistence is just persistence, but godly persistence is persistence with faith in the promises of God. Persistence with faith in the character and the nature of God. When I persist, when I push through, when I continue to do what God has called me to do, with faith I can rest assured that the seeds that I have planted will grow a harvest. Matthew chapter 7 verses 7 through 11 say, keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be open to you for everyone who asks receives. Everyone who seeks finds and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened. You parents, if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not, so if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give good gifts to those who ask him? Jesus said, keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Isn't it amazing that we go through life and we give all that we have to do something? We exhaust ourselves with emotion and effort and resource and we seem to push through as much as we possibly can only to find ourselves coming up short. It seems that God is distant, that God is not moving, but it is in that moment. It is in that season where you feel most like quitting, that you must persist in faith. The scripture tells us in James that patience ultimately builds faith. Faith and patience, faith and persistence, they are one and the same. They come hand in hand. They're almost synonymous in the eyes of God. I remember when I first started in ministry, there seemed to be no fruit coming from what our efforts were. Nowadays I can say this because it's not my ministry, I'm not bragging on me, this is the Lord's doing, but nowadays we're very fruitful. We're reaching a lot of people. We have resources coming in. We are in the middle of expanding many things that we want to do for the Lord so that we can reach more souls. But at the beginning, I didn't have all of this. I remember I would put out a video every single Monday night and there are people, again I'm blessed to have people who stuck by me from the very beginning. I have with me here, behind one of the cameras is a man named Jeremy Marquez and Jeremy remembers Monday nights, we would go live. Stephen Moctezuma, you all know Stephen Moctezuma, he plays guitar. He just texted me the other day. He said, you know, I was there from the beginning and I'm going to see this all the way through to the end. But he was there as a camera guy, when we were reaching, get this, every single week, now we're reaching maybe, we're in the tens of thousands on television and the reach is very large. During that season, every single week, our peak audience, this is when we would reach, I'm telling you, this is the highest it would go. We had a great successful night when our audience skyrocketed to 35 people and that was our big audience.  I studied with all my heart. I came to be in front of the camera. I presented the best that I could. I dressed the best that I could and I gave all my heart, all my soul, everything I had. I poured into those videos that 35 people saw. I treated those 35 people as if they were 10,000 and the Lord blessed it. I remember I used to write articles, now I write articles, they get featured in some of the major Christian media outlets, the magazines and whatnot. When I first started writing, I believe I wrote for almost three years, quite regularly, almost weekly, for three years, with, get this, zero readers. Absolutely nobody read what I wrote, but I wrote them because I was doing it unto the Lord. And we have to rid ourselves of selfishness. I'm not talking about ambition. I'm not talking about wanting to succeed for self. I'm talking about our desires to see things come to pass that are godly, to see things come to pass that expand the kingdom, to see things come to pass that impact other people's lives. I want to see more souls say, I am not satisfied. I'm thankful, but I'm not satisfied. I want to see millions coming to Jesus. That's my heart. Everything in me, when I wake up in the morning, when we, everything that we do for the ministry, when I wake up in the morning, I'm asking myself, how can we grow this ministry? I'm expanding, I'm working, I'm edifying the body of Christ. Why? So that they can be blessed by the ministry, come alongside of us and help us with our main goal, which is to win souls. Everything in me says, God, I just want to win more souls. And I want to win millions to Jesus because there are people dying every day, many of them without Christ. And I want to reach those people. But before I started expanding in that area, I had to be persistent. I have to be consistent. I had to push through the discouragement. I've been discouraged. If I'm being honest with you, there were times I felt like quitting the ministry. There were times I felt like, Lord, I'm not impacting anybody's life. Lord, there's nothing coming of this. And I would get frustrated. I would even say, Lord, this is all for your glory anyway. Why won't you bless it? Maybe you're believing for the salvation of a loved one. Maybe you're believing for breakthrough in your ministry. Maybe you're believing for breakthrough in your finances. Maybe you're believing for spiritual growth or breakthrough in your emotions, or freedom from a sickness, or freedom from depression or anxiety, whatever it may be, whatever it is for which you are believing, no matter how big, no matter how small, I'm telling you right now. Persist. Don't grow weary in well-doing. You will reap a harvest. The scripture says in Matthew chapter 15, verses 21 through 28. Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tur and Sidon. A Gentile woman who lived there came to him pleading, Have mercy on me, O Lord, son of David, for my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely. But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Now stop there for a second. Jesus ignored this woman. Listen, you can try to spin it any which way, but Jesus was ignoring this lady. Now I don't think that Jesus was being cruel. I don't think that he was trying to be mean or hurt this woman. I think he was testing her faith. God does not ignore us out of cruelty. God does not ignore us, period. His attention is always on us. God instead will wait not to hurt us, but to process us. There are some things that can only be developed in our character through persistence, patience, and endurance. And persistence, patience, and endurance can only come through seasons. You cannot develop a pure faith. You cannot develop faith that will get you to the next level in a matter of days or in a matter of weeks or in a matter of months. Faithfulness takes a long time to have. That's why it's called faithfulness. You can't do something for three weeks and say, there I was faithful. Lord bless me. No, you have to persist. You have to continue. I'm telling you, I know people who started in ministry around the same time I did. And they're not in the ministry today because they quit because it got too hard because things didn't work out the way they wanted it to right away. I've been in the ministry now for 15 years and I've seen, when I was at my halfway point, maybe seven, eight years in, I've seen other ministries come along and they start out of nowhere and they skyrocket, but then they fizzle out. The Lord told me this morning, not word for word, but he planted this idea in my heart. He told me, he said, listen, this is not a sprint. It's a marathon. This is not something you need to be quick to do. This is something you need to pace yourself for. And so I said, okay, Lord, and this is just something he told me today in my own prayer time. But the truth is we need more patience.  Verse 23 says, but Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. Now you've got to imagine from this woman's perspective, here she is. She's probably already terrified to speak with Jesus. She's probably already nervous. And here Jesus is and she's trembling.  They tell Jesus about her in front of her. Lord, send this woman away. Now how would that feel? How would you feel in that moment? All the pressure, everything would be against you to just say, okay, I quit. I'm done with my request. I've been around men of God who I've learned I have to be very persistent with them, very forceful with them. Some of them like it. That's how they, I guess they're modeling it after Jesus. And I found that doors open for me when I'm persistent, when I pursue, when I don't accept no for an answer. Now I'm not saying try to open doors that God has not opened, but you don't know if God has locked that door. If you don't at least try to open it. So I checked doors. And then once I get through a door, my philosophy, my perspective on it is whatever door God opens for me, I will hold open for others. So other ministries that come along me, my friends, my family, my goal is to take the doors that God has opened to me and hold it open for those who know me, for those who are connected. So my persistence not only pays off for me, but for others. But this woman right in the middle of this, here she is with Jesus. He's ignoring her. The disciples are urging, Lord, send this woman away. She's irritating us. And she begins to feel the pressure, tell her to go away. They said, she is bothering us with all her begging. Then Jesus said to the woman, and he's actually turning her away, guys. This is probably one of the only instances in scripture where Jesus turned someone away who came to him. In the other instances, the people reject him. But look at this. Then Jesus said to the woman, I was sent only to help God's lost sheep, the people of Israel. But she came and worshiped him pleading again. Lord, help me. Jesus responded, it isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs. Now, again, you can try to explain this away, but this is the Bible, guys. This is something that people appreciate about the ministry. I don't try to twist the scripture into what I wanted to say. I just take it for what it says and present it. Sometimes you may agree with it. Sometimes you may disagree. I can do no other thing other than present what the Bible says. Jesus called this woman a dog. It's right there. And so let's read it again. Verse 26, Jesus responded, it isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs. Verse 27, she replied, that's true, Lord. But even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their master's table. And then verse 28, this is the turning point. He says, dear woman, Jesus said to her, your faith is great. Your request is granted. And her daughter was instantly healed. Now think about this. Jesus, for whatever reason, is treating the woman this way. Again, I don't think he was doing it to be cruel. I think he knew that this would be a narrative in the Bible and that we would receive something of it, not just the idea of the connection between salvation and Jews and Gentiles, but also this concept of persistence. He said she had faith. Why? Because she was persistent. Let faith work persistence in you. Keep knocking. Keep asking. Keep seeking. Don't quit. Don't stop. Maybe you were looking for confirmation. Maybe you were looking for encouragement. Here it is. Don't quit. Keep going. The breakthrough is coming. The law of persistence, it has to, listen, it absolutely has to because it's the Bible. It has to happen. That wall will come down. That sea will open. The miracle will manifest. Just hang on. Just persist. Don't allow faith to wane. Don't allow cynicism or doubt to take over your heart. Break free from that today and say, Lord, I'm going to persist. I'm going to keep asking. I'm going to keep seeking. I'm going to keep knocking. As I do that, you're going to process me into one who can receive the answer. That's why God will wait. God doesn't wait. Again, God does not wait to be cruel.  It's not a waste of time. You may be saying, I could be doing more. I could have more if only I had this now. Listen, if you had it now, you'd crumble. You couldn't handle it.  Time is not being wasted. You're not behind. You may be telling yourself, I should be here by now. I should be there by now. I feel like I'm falling behind. Listen, that's not how it works in the kingdom of God. God is perfect timing. He's processing you. Don't rush it. He is waiting to make you into one who can handle what he wants to put on you. He will not give a weighty thing to one who cannot stand under the pressure of that blessing. God is processing you right now. The season you are in, let him do his work. Persist, and when the processing is done, he will grant it. He will take you. He will promote you. He will bless you. Your breakthrough is on the way. I feel faith right now, and I want to pray with you. I'm going to stretch my hands toward you. Stretch your hands toward mine in faith, and let's believe that God will give you the faith and the persistence to endure the process so that you can handle the blessing. Father, in Jesus' name, I pray for that one watching right now, and I ask Lord for a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit. Father, I pray you would confirm your word as only you can. I ask precious Jesus that you would strengthen that one watching, that you would encourage that one watching, that you would let this word, this revelation, this breath of life settle within their spirit. Cause them to be people who embrace your process, Lord. I thank you, Father, for your Holy Spirit, your presence and your power. Now moving in Jesus' name, there's a gentleman watching me. You've been, you're in business, and you've been trying to get your business to go, and it seems that it's not, and your heart is that you would fund the kingdom of God. Let me tell you something. Keep going. Don't grow weary and well-doing. There's going to be a day where you write a million-dollar check to a ministry. I want you to receive that. You'll know if this word is for you because it'll bear witness. You're going to write a million-dollar check to ministries.  Do not quit. Well, I don't even know how to transition from that. I know I often say that, but it's, you can, I can really feel the anointing and it's hard to go from the prayer to welcoming the new members of Spirit Church. There you are up on the screen. We love you. We are praying for you, and we thank you for joining us from all around the world. If you'd like information on how you could join the Spirit Family or Spirit Church, then go ahead and click on the link that's just about to appear over my head. If you're not watching this on YouTube or the YouTube version of this video, then that link will not appear. Instead, use the information at the bottom of the screen to find out how you can become a member of Spirit Church. It's free. Every week, you'll get an email straight to your inbox, a brand new teaching. You can reply for prayer support, and you're joining in with people from all around the world, over a thousand members now from all around the world. And we really do gather in spirit. Usually at this point, I would read your comments on last week's teaching, but we're going to do something a little bit different. Instead, I have comments from Stephen Maktuzuma's worship playlist. Now, Stephen Maktuzuma has been working on other things, but he is now coming back this year with some more songs. He's been working on songs. We've also been talking about that album. So I know some of you have been writing to us wondering where his new music is. Listen, he's with us long term. Don't worry. He's also going to be coming out very soon with more songs, and then he'll be back on regular rotation. And so these are some comments from his playlist, just to get you guys reminded about that ministry. Ursula writes, beautiful song and voice, God bless you. Melanie Marquez, who's one of our regular ETV viewers writes, so beautiful. It reminds me of the day Jesus set me free and became my Lord and Savior. Brian Alice, I felt the Holy Spirit through this song. Jesus saves, right?  You too, Nick, and Nick is the guitar player. May God use you in his great work and touch more souls through your ministries. Hannah writes, Stephen, it's been such a blessing to watch your growth on this channel and to see how God is using you, praying for your ministry and in counter TV. Now, Hannah, you've not seen anything yet. I'm telling you, we got some big things planned for this ministry, as you guys have been hearing about the expansion, but also with Stephen Moctezuma's ministry. So stay tuned. Mark WN writes, wonderfully anointed and zero ego when worshiping. Thank you for sharing your gift. Well, we certainly do love the worship ministry of Stephen Moctezuma. Go ahead and check out that worship playlist. You will not regret it. Now I'm going to talk to you about something real quick. Don't turn off this video. If you notice, this video is actually some of you may have picked up on it. This video was filmed right after last week's teaching. We released them a week apart, but because of the Christmas season and how things just get during the season, we had to film two on one night. So there won't be any comments from the last week's teaching because there wasn't any time that lapsed between now and then. And also there won't be any update on the fundraiser because, again, it was only just about half hour or so that we filmed the last teaching, but by the time you watch this there a week apart, you got what I'm saying. So the update is still as we know it. We're about 475 partners away from our goal. We started with a goal of 1,000 new $30 a month partners. Now we got 475 new $30 a month partners. The goal is simple, guys. We want to win souls. We do it through worldwide television, international events, and global discipleship media, such as Spirit Church. Worldwide television is Encounter TV. International events is the Encounter Service. And global discipleship media is Spirit Church, the blog, the podcast, and all the media that we put out for the church to edify the believer. Now we want to win souls. We want to expand the kingdom. We want to keep raising an army of believers who will go out in the power of the Holy Spirit and preach Jesus. So this is where we need your help. We want to expand. And so this next phase of expansion will include a brand new facility where we will have Sunday night meetings, where we will do studio audiences, and we'll be able to minister to you in person at both the Sunday night meetings and the studio audiences. I got some real awesome guests lined up for 2017, and I want to bring people in to be there in person with them when we film that. We're also able to do live broadcasts from the studio on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter. That's basically what's happening right now. That's one of the new ways to reach people. We want to make sure we take advantage of that for the gospel. On top of that, we want to open up a 24-7 prayer room. We want to begin doing more miracle services in more locations all across the United States and the world. I'm receiving your invites. We're getting your invites from all around the world. I want to come. We just need the resources to be able to do so. So with that expansion, that new building, all those things plus those events, more often and on larger scales, I'm telling you, it's going to be big. You're going to see a day we're going to be winning millions to Jesus. We're going to see thousands packing in the stadiums to hear the gospel. You mark my words. It's going to happen. You can be a part of it. Get on with it right now. Get on board with the ministry. Partner today. Become a $30 a month supporter. If you can't do $30 a month, do something monthly. If you don't want to do something monthly, do something one time. We have some people who will give $5,000, $10,000, $1,000 one time. And we have people who give $30, $60, $100 monthly. Whatever you can do, whether it's one time or monthly, do it right now. Help us win souls. Help us preach Jesus all around the world. Well, that is it for this edition of Spirit Church. Until next time, remember, nothing is impossible with God. Hey, what's up, guys? Thank you so much for watching Encounter TV.

Milk production. What really drives the price of milk? More milk, fewer farmers and a sinking demand. So why has the price of milk been falling? And why are we still producing more milk each year? In 2019, the global milk industry was worth a staggering 570 billion euros. With more than 172 million tonnes of raw milk produced in 2018, the EU is collectively responsible for around a fifth of global milk production. Although the number of cows and milk producing farms has been decreasing in recent years, we're still seeing an overproduction of raw milk. In the last three decades alone, worldwide milk production has increased by more than 59%, from 530 million tonnes in 1988 to 843 million tonnes in 2018. Consumer demand, however, did not increase at the same rate. Instead, milk consumption in major consuming nations like the US alone fell by 4% since 1975. But if we're already producing too much milk, why are we producing even more each year? Setting the context. Milk farmer income. To address this question, we need to first understand the issue surrounding milk farmers and their income. But who is it that actually keeps the profits in the milk industry? Take the price of one litre of milk produced in Germany as an example. 15% stays with the milk processors, 6% to storage and transport, 14% to packaging and disposal, and 17% stays with the supermarkets. But while the farmers retain the biggest cut, keeping 43% of the revenue, they also have to carry most of the costs. Farmers often claim that the money they earn from selling their milk doesn't cover their costs. Things like electricity, veterinary bills, credits or other financial loans, their own cost of living and most of all, food for the animals. While one kilo of German milk sold for just over 50 cents in 2018, it actually costs an average of 64 cents to produce, meaning any revenues made barely cover 79% of the farmers' costs. Another issue lies between producers and those further down the chain, retailers. Retailers who are competing to offer the cheapest products to their consumers hold the most negotiating power and will pressure farmers to sell their products for an overly cheap price while retaining most of the revenue from the sales in their own shops, sometimes up to half of the price paid by the consumers. Why dairy farmers produce too much milk? Then how do lower revenues lead to an overproduction of raw milk? To keep producers afloat, milk processors might offer milk farmers financial loans. However, these loans and their interest rate often pressure milk farmers to produce more milk to make a profit, sometimes even more milk than the market demands. While more raw milk production benefits milk processors, this is in many ways a problem rather than a solution. Pressure to increase milk production creates an overstock of milk flooding the market, resulting in a lower price for milk farmers. It's basic economics. If there's too much milk supply and too little demand, you end up with lower prices. The issue with government subsidies. Simultaneously, national governments and the EU have been providing agricultural subsidies to milk farmers. Income support for farmers was launched back in the 1950s when the EU initiated a series of market interventions like the Common Agricultural Policy, also known as CAP, to boost agricultural production. Under CAP, EU countries started subsidizing dairy products, which meant that farmers had a portion of their production costs covered. In addition to subsidizing milk farmers to keep milk prices from rising too high, the EU also buys surplus milk to keep milk prices from falling too low. Historically, the EU purchased surplus agricultural goods to minimize impacts on retail prices. In 1986, for example, the EU bought 1.23 million tonnes of unwanted butter, then exported it at cheap prices. And they still continue with this practice today. Starting in 2014, the EU bought 400,000 tonnes of milk powder and stored it. Most of it has been sold with a financial loss estimated at 24 million euros. Where the milk powder ended up, it's not clear. Incentivised upscaling. But staying afloat as a farmer still seems to be challenging. As it stands, the subsidies issued under CAP incentivizes larger milk farms, put simply farmers receive direct payments, income support, for every hectare of land they own. With a sinking milk price and lower profit margins, small scale farmers are pressured to grow, literally, increasing the size of their land so that they can receive more income support. However, growing is hard to do. As many milk farmers have buckled under pressure and are inevitably swallowed up by bigger milk farms that have been enjoying the highest subsidization from the EU. In fact, all European countries have seen a decrease in the number of existing individual farms since 2005. This, in part, may be because small milk farms are usually less profitable than big milk farms. A sample taken from the US showed that small milk farms had two times higher production costs than larger milk farms. Where labour costs are concerned, however, small scale milk producers in the EU often have similar labour costs to those of large scale dairy farms, as small scale producers tend to rely on family labour. Furthermore, large milk farms are able to operate more cost-effectively and can flood the market with cheap milk, putting even more pressure on small milk farmers who can't afford to sell milk for such low prices. How are smaller milk farmers coping today? Right now, there's a trend amongst milk farmers to move into niches to maintain their livelihood. For example, producing organic or grass-fed milk, a type of milk for which animals have been fed only with fresh, natural fodder, like hay. In comparison to conventional milk, organic grass-fed or organic and grass-fed milk is then sold for a higher price, and many consumers seem willing to pay for it. Another way to cope involves shortening the milk chain and selling dairy products directly to locals with milk vending machines or farm gate milk. By avoiding a split in revenues with milk processors and supermarkets, smaller milk farmers are able to retain a higher profit. The question, however, still remains, why are we subsidising an industry with a lack of demand? The answer is not so straightforward, particularly because different countries have different needs. While we often have an oversupply of raw milk, some countries are even experiencing shortages of other dairy products like butter, as suggested by Andreas Edder, researcher at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna. Whether switching completely to consuming and producing more plant-based alternatives is really the best solution to this dilemma, remains a disputed question. However, a shift to a more balanced system with environmental and social issues in mind seems like a reasonable and inevitable first step.
