Right now it's time to look at the papers and see what the headlines are. We're going to take some of the national dailies, not all of them, so you have the opportunity to read others up when you get that opportunity. We'll be looking at the punch, the daily trust, and so many other newspapers. But our guest this morning is Barista Justice C. Uhugu, human rights lawyer, 2019 presidential candidate of NAC party. Good morning and welcome to the program Barista. Good morning, it's my pleasure to welcome you all. Okay, let me begin what is not like we'll say on the streets now. Maka, do it in the no semi. Okay, 2019 you were presidential candidate of NAC party. We're presidential candidate, presidential candidate. Presidential candidate. Okay, vice presidential candidate. Okay, you had a dream for Nigeria. How is that working out? Even though you are not at the helm of affairs, but how is that dream, your dream for Nigeria working out right now? Well, to be speaking is actually not working out. That's just the truth. But I am still hopeful that one word or the other provided there is life. That dream will come to one day. There will be a couple of things. But one thing is to have a dream. Another thing is to focus on that dream. And another thing is to pursue that dream. And Barista has a way to work out and to work out for the good of every Nigerian. Amen to that. Amen. So let's begin with the punch newspaper this morning. The punch newspaper leads with the caption, federal government writes governors as agency predicts flooding in three states. Federal government, those, the writers are, federal government agency leads local governments in Akwaibom, Lagos, Adamaura, Ogun, Benwe, 26 others as high-flood risk areas. Benwe demolishes riverside buildings, Lagos directs residents to relocate Sokoto, Edo, others begin campaigns. So let me get your comments on that. Well, the truth is that yes, we are entering another when it is in period. And fortunately, unfortunately, once it comes like this, there will be issues of flooding and all the rest. But I think one of the problems we had earlier before now is that the government has planned so much for future. And that is why you need to, as a government, you need to always focus, you know, the future. Because it is called as most of the buildings and most of the things that we are doing, we are actually built in a drainage way and where the water should also flow easily to the sea or to the river. But unfortunately, because of the last season, the issue of the government, that time, all these things are blocked. And now we are not in the impact of some of these things. And secondly, the government should always prepare because in other countries where there is always flooding, it is not only Nigeria that there is flooding. It is not only saying, the federal government warning states about flooding. What is the action or measure the government actually taking in order to make sure that they prepare for this flooding so that in fact, you don't need to wait until it happens. You need to wait until it works so that it actually comes because it always comes as a natural disaster. You will not be cushioning the effect of those things so that it won't be much. I don't know what they can do because at some point, was it last year or so, when they said the dam in Cameroon was going to release water. Every time that happens, flooding happens in a lot of places and the government just tells the people, leave where you are, go and look for refuge somewhere else. And so I don't know what as a government they could do or they could have done to make sure that when it comes, because they say from April to November, that's a very long time to be expecting flood and trying to do anything about it. What do you think they could have done? No, for me, the government knows what to do. That is why they got me. That is why they got me. You are in the home of a state. You have to, you know, they have a leader for people to be here for the interests of the people and others. And if you remember, in the wisdom of the Constitution, the Constitution says that the main aim of government is for the welfare and security of the people. So these ones are the welfare of the people. So not a lot of things they should look at. If you feel that location is the best option, you know, to cover that issue, then provide the location exercise. Provide amenities and all the rest, so that they can move. Build local houses. Build houses so that they can locate for that need time. And then look for a larger solution. Now, for example, this thing has been seen. It has been forecasted. What is the government doing? It's not just seeing it. And forecasting is the agency's responsible for this. What is the agency doing? What recommendations are they making? So the government knows what to do. It's not a matter of what are they going to do. They know what to do, only that they forgot the refuse to do the need for. Okay, let me move to another issue. In the oil sector, market has excited as Dangote Lua's diesel to 1,000 naira per liter. Does it excite you as well? Because we've seen oil and oil and all that, and people are even saying that he should sell for 515 naira. I don't know. Does it excite you at all? I don't think there's any right in Nigerian that this issue of our petroleum produce is a fight. This is a country that produces goods. We're not talking about diesel, about BMS, about this. We produce this food. God has given it to us as a natural resources. And this includes like river on daily basis. Oh, in fact, Nigeria is supposed to be one of the countries that should be enjoying this naturalization. The problem we have, we're talking about Dangote today. Dangote is a private individual. Yes, it's in business. The problem we have, what's the point about it? Before now, we're having all these problems. We remember the early 18s. It wasn't like that. I remember when a little of us were sold for 11 naira per liter. So what are we saying? I don't think there's anybody getting tried. Okay, but the conditions in those days where it was sold for 11 naira may not be the same as now. So some people might argue that even the international price for oil has changed and all that. So it also will need to affect our oil. No, it's immaterial. Even in the international market, even the price changes and goes like this. We have to do this group. If we are the final group for our local consumption, these people Nigeria should enjoy it. The problem we have here, we see this group, we see this outside, this is the price here, and brought back here, and we show it to all the game.  Even Nigeria went at the pricing. If we higher the price here, Nigeria should be making money. But it's not supposed to affect Nigeria. Okay, there is this red line also on the punch. $30 billion loss. Federal government may revoke unused oil well licenses. It's just now we're seeing that there are some oil wells that are unused. I wonder why you would get an oil well and not use it. And federal government may revoke this because of the losses that they incur. Do you think there will be an improvement on the production of oil that we have in Nigeria and subsequently other things that are tied to the oil production? Do you think revoking is the right step to take? Well, the truth is, even if you revoke them, who are you going to allocate them to? You see, the major problem we have in Nigeria is this issue of impurity. And that is what has been cleaned up. I need to continue until we tell ourselves the truth. And like I keep on saying, the initial problem is lack of concentration of people. That's all the truth. Now, you know, as you say, who are these people that have allocation for oil well? They are also the higher mighty in the society, in the government and all the way. So whether they use it or not, they do not contain them. For them, they have it. So if the government can actually be forcing to revoke those license, and is not only revoking them or collecting them, is are you going to make proper use of them for all this oil well? That is the problem. Secondly, for me, for me, I do not even see the reason why an individual to own an oil well in this country. Because this is a natural resource for all Nigerians. And they remember, like I keep on saying, and I keep on saying it, and I continue saying it, that every Nigerian, we are also coders in this country. So why would you regard the basic oil well? Alright, let's move to the Guardian newspaper. I'm taking a smaller headline there because it's really concerning security. Anything that has to do with security. Reps Kokos give Tinibu Ultimatum to end insecurity. That's on page 3 of the Guardian newspaper. So they have given the president an ultimatum to end insecurity. How feasible do you think this is? And what are the parameters, or what are the measures that need to be put in place if this is to work? Well, like you said earlier, I wish I succeeded in 2019. For me, by now, this is the security issue that has been a thing of the past. Because some of us, we know the technical know-how of what to do. It takes me back to my earlier statement. And what is that statement lack of the territory of Kokos? You see, it's not enough coming to the pages of newspaper every time going to television, organizing, podiums and all the ways. Let's not say we're saying that we're going to end insecurity. My brother, let's be realistic to ourselves in this country. This is not possible because the government is not able to do the needs for them. This is what I'm saying recently. How many of the senators, how many of the hearts of women members, without security. What I mean by security, I mean the volume of military men, policemen and others can easily, or conveniently, travel to their various hometowns which have been attacked. It's not possible. So they say in Abu-Jazia, the National Assembly or anywhere and coughing and all that, but they know what to do. And for me, it's very simple. Because when you have a security apparatus that is confined and that is dedicated to doing your job of the peaceful stuff, then the problem we have is that we are playing politics with everything.  How do you mean we're still playing politics with security? Yes, everything today has come to be politics. Because something will happen, there will be blame games. These people will blame this sector or they will blame this one. This agency will blame this. This agency will blame this. And they are talking about politics. It's not enough. Look at what they are saying. They are going to end in security. How long have they been in power? How long have they been in government? They need to tell us. You don't need to tell us. Let me tell you the truth. A good security expert doesn't even need to tell people your security taxes in order to secure your territory. You come out anytime on the newspaper called the media to start saying this. You are helping it. You are only trying to let it be active in your doing. That's why I say we are playing politics with everything. This is our message. That's what I'm concerned. Do the needful. Okay, now some politics now. PDP Governors at Tikku Wike comes in ten to five positions at Mekoma Neck. My confusion is that a lot of people have been removed from their parties. A lot of people have been suspended from their parties or expelled from their parties because of what they call anti-party, because of some very, very insignificant, if you ask me, things that they may have done or said. Now, someone like Wike, former governor of River State and now minister of the Federal Capital Committee, is still in PDP. And even gone in for very, very high positions, he still has a camp in PDP and all that. What are the legal intricacies? What are the legal complexities that make it difficult to remove or expel or suspend someone like Wike? Because we've seen a lot of things forming gangs, if you ask me, against the party and doing so many other things. And right now he's in government position party on a different party. So what are the legal implications of removing someone of, let's say, Wike standing? Because we've seen governors being suspended, governors being sanctioned and all that. But Wike is still enduring in PDP. So what's going on? Well, I thought I'm concerned. There's no law in the fourth place. There's no law that says if you're a member of a particular political party, you cannot have a government that is formed by another political party. There's no law to that effect. And if we actually tell ourselves the truth of Nigeria and that woman is collectively. For example, in 2019, I already advised the National Candidate that we will not come into power don't mean I cannot have any other government. Because the world is paramount in that thing you want to do. And you come up and contribute your own quota to the society. Remember, the problem we have in Nigeria is that we play more with the party policies than playing politics the way it should be. If you become the president, you're the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Forget about the party you came from. Yes, what is your platform? Then you have become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. At that point, you are not supposed to be talking about party. We can ask, is the minister of FPP. FPP comprises both PDP members, APC members and other political parties. So you know I'm carrying the minister for APC or PGP. So I don't see anything wrong in that as far as I'm concerned. Yes, but if you now come to political parties, they have their own constitution that they have policies or in Canada democracy within themselves. And I'm aware also that they always have this issue of anti-party activities and all the rest. I don't see somebody who has been hit with an appointment to stand in a government and don't see it as an anti-party activity. No. For me, I don't see it that way. There are so many things that are considered as anti-party activities. The government is being conducted and you are in PGP.  Yes, but we saw that in the presidential election. Wiki was very vocal about it. The governorship will go to PDP but the presidential, he was going for the APC. How much anti-party can someone be? And then he was the spearhead that was formed against his own party and all that. They worked against his party. So what other anti-party activities do we need to see? I'm talking about this because there are people who have been suspended for less crimes as it were. So what is so difficult in his suspension? Yes, he could be a minister because no party it is not a one party thing as you said. But other things that have happened before now and we keep asking why is he not suspended? Why is he not sanctioned? What makes him greater than a party that is like the biggest opposition party right now? We just want to see if there is a law or there are some legal implications that if he is removed the party might crash or something or he might take them to court. No, no, no. Normally if he is removed he might decide to take them to court. But at the end of the day taking the party to court are you going to win the matter? Either here or there. But the truth is this the party itself is supreme somehow the constitution is supreme over its members and others. So if the party decides not to suspend him or not to initiate any proceedings against me that is their business. But I thought I'm concerned no one person is bigger than an association especially because a political party is an association registered especially when that association is registered as a constitution. So for the party I don't know why they may have chosen to do that right or nothing. I don't think that he is bigger than the party or anything else. If they are going to suspend him or take any action on the part or simply for the part that he was appointed the minister, no that one will not sustain. But there are other reasons where they can actually lay their hands to suspend him provided they have their parts and things also. I thought I'm concerned nobody is... In fact the court has said this several times but there is so many deciding things that the party and its internal affairs does not contain anybody. The one thing can do if you don't lie to a political party you lose to another political party. Interesting. Because in Rivers State right now his loyalists are all in APC and he is supporting them and all that. Now we have like two governments in Rivers State because of that and he still works so strong right now. He is one of the contenders to get all the juicy positions what we are seeing on the papers is Atticus camp and VK's camp in the same PDP and I'm just wondering I'm not that much of a politician so I'm asking to know because you have been in the highest rank of a political party that's why I needed to know which your background in law. Now we go to Vanguard newspaper and the leading headline there is food inflation slowing the slowing federal government's revenue rises that's according to a DOOM the Wally DOOM, the Minister of Finance and Coordination Minister of the Economy. Then the rider is that targets more foreign investment in flow and then IMF raises forecast for Nigeria's economic growth 3.3%. Now they went to the United States and said that the food inflation is slowing down now and that the federal government revenue is rising that's the Finance Minister and they are targeting more investments and so many other things but what do you think about this the reality on ground and what they said in Washington you see the truth is that we are Nigerians in this nation most times what you see on the studies of the newspapers and what you see on on the media in fact they are not always the two examples of what is happening in practice I think everybody in Nigeria knows including me and I believe also including you here in the studio that in some few months now or let me put it that way the issue of food has become a very very big problem in the country and unfortunately why Nigerians are going through grief there is rise everyday in revenue generation from the federal government taxation is going high so many things are going high and all these things are to be deteriorated by the citizens so it's so unfortunate and that's why we keep on saying or people like us keep on saying are we now actually being you know in line with what the constitution provides for the welfare and security of the citizens so actually when you see some of these you wonder where the government is coming from because for me any government that comes in power to think about the interest of the people gets to the market today and still the cost of food items you need to if you have 599 put it in the market you can buy anything you think in fact it cannot it cannot provide you once we are made just one, just one I'm not talking about three times afternoon and night just one 5,000 so what are we talking about and still any little thing you do government taxation you go to bank with your money government taxation you do anything government taxation so and that is why the Nigerians are becoming population and all the way but it's nothing that our money is becoming something else go to the market today now with 50,000 naira you cannot buy, you cannot feel half of the sort of thing bad will not be fueled how much is, I don't know when that you went to the market this small page of Gary in the market tonight is about 3,000, 5 2,000 of yam is about 2,000, 5 1,000 of yam so what are we still tomatoes and all the way that place is no great and these are things that people need on daily basis I don't want to go to jeans I don't want to go to rice a bag of rice today that we used to buy for 7,500 8,000 naira is almost 80,000 what are we saying if you are saying almost that means you are in a very good area because in some places it's 90,000 and I've heard some people say I bought it for like 100,000 so I don't know so if it is almost 80,000 naira buy like 10 because it might even still go higher but we'll pray against that now let's take a final one Kano State Antigrafts Agency files fresh charges against Ganduje former governor Ganduje is in the EFCC net fortunately or unfortunately the chairman national chairman of the ruling party APC in fact because of this problem of him facing accusations by EFCC the Gandola thing and so many other bribes allegations against him the word where he comes from which eventually is called Ganduje word as well suspended him from the party and said that he should answer to these purported crimes before he can come back into the party and these people have been now suspended again by higher body of the party the local government so the local government is not in support the state is not in support the national is not in support only the word and now they have been branded anti-party so where do you see this case of Ganduje even going well the truth about the matter is that personally I think the party will do what they are supposed to do I wish that will continue this way because for me once somebody has an allegation or if this person is who I am for anything that person should be suspended if from anywhere is holding any public position until that matter is dispensing and as much as the national as much as I mentioned presumed every accused person innocent until presumed guilty presumed guilty but once there is false claim it is true of the integrity and the character of the person and for me I think the party got it right at this point in time we should begin to seek a change we should begin to seek a change to see how we can do things better but my problem is not just plcc arresting him or turning him to court at the end of the day and then come up with it because you see we are in a country now there are few sets of law that is existing one for the court and one for the rich look at the case of Boris Kina who was taken to court and convicted for Naira motivation he is not the only person that has been doing that go to parties that you see one government official in the way they spread the Naira government official that ELCC will arrest because of that so it is part of what we are saying that we are watching we are watching I saw them consign for me the APC party got it right by suspending you for the meantime let me face it try and finish it because somebody who has a pending matter it goes to the integrity and the personality of that person in case of corruption okay well this is a good place to drop it I know there are so many other headlines but we would like to thank you, Barista for being a part of our show this morning thank you very much okay we will be talking with Barista Justice C Uhueh Bu human rights lawyer and 2019 presidential candidate or vice presidential candidate of NAC party on off the press break and when we return we will be looking at our first hot topic stay with us


Good day fellow investors. Our friend Sven Hasselt wrote in a comment what do I think about COCO. It is at multi-year lows and when I see a commodity at multi-year lows I immediately jump to investigate because commodities are easy. You have to see what's the supply, what's the demand. If there is too much of supply prices go down. If there is not enough supply prices go up. So I want to see what will happen and you cannot affect demand. Demand is there.  So it's all about supply there. If I can estimate that next year the crop will be lower so that supply will be lower then I can expect COCO prices to go up. So let's see what's going on in the COCO world and how we can go about investing in it. So COCO prices in history have been pretty, pretty volatile and you can see that in the last decade they went up to above 3000 then dropped around 2013-2012 to almost 2000 then went up again above 3000 then dropped again to the current 2000. If I look at this long-term chart from an inflation perspective current COCO prices are below what was the global inflation rate. So from a commodity perspective COCO prices are relatively cheap. The next thing we have to look at is COCO supply and demand. Go to the international COCO organization you check what they are saying about what's going on and you can see the reason for the low COCO prices. The forecasts for 2016-17 have been very very positive. Increased production by 18.1% increased grinding that leads to surplus of 382,000 metric tons. In such a situation prices go down. Additionally COCO bean arrivals to ports in the Ivory Coast are up 35% compared to last year which means there would be much more supply and it won't be positive for COCO prices just because they are now at 2000 doesn't mean it's a good investment. We really have to wait for an inflection because the next crop will also be good thanks to favorable weather so it doesn't mean it's a great investment now. Nevertheless we can still profit from COCO prices and COCO price movements. One way is you can go short the ETF, COCO ETF. There are two COCO ETFs one it's called Nib and the other is called Jock so you guess where the names come from. If we look at ETF prices they're also very low they follow COCO prices through future contracts so they're pretty good proxies for COCO investing. However when shorting you never know what can happen but if you can buy options puts if puts and calls are your thing this might be interesting. Nevertheless there is another way of profiting from declining COCO prices and that is to buy those companies that their biggest costs is COCO like Hershey, Lint or Berry, Kaleba or however do I pronounce it. So Hershey has 10 to 15% of cost of goods sold depending of COCO prices. If COCO prices decline it means that here and there not immediately but Hershey's margins will increase. The last time COCO prices decreased from 3000 to 2000 Hershey's margin increased from 46% gross margin to 48% gross margin. So that would reflect into Hershey's earnings, make it grow and of course should reflect into higher stock prices. However the price earnings ratio are crazy. Hershey has above 30, Lint is above 30 almost 40 and this Berry Kaleba is also very high and above 30 so very very expensive because the low COCO prices are already included in the price. However when that gets confirmed usually stock prices go even higher. Call it a crazy market but that's how the market is. So to conclude just because COCO prices are low doesn't mean they are a good investment. The next crop coming will again be a great crop. Warehouses in the Ivory Coast are full. The farmers if you read the newspaper cannot sell their COCO because nobody wants it because the warehouses are already full. So it will take some time for the supply glut to be sold. Somebody will plant less COCO in the next crop year and then the COCO price will start to recover. So there is still plenty of time to invest in COCO. So for now we'll keep it there if you want to invest in Hershey or if you're thinking about those chocolate stocks you might want to take advantage of short-term trends. However for me they are overvalued now. Nevertheless we'll follow it. I have seen also that COCO prices are very low and I want to investigate also if there is some potential there because it's a little bit different and because all those COCO coffee depend a lot on the weather and the weather is volatile. However if you position yourself if you have a little medium term outlook you can really benefit by trading options or whatever in these commodities because it doesn't depend on what the market thinks. It depends on supply and demand and that can be played on with low risk high reward bets. Thank you for watching. If you have any other ideas like the COCO play, coffee play stocks that follow that share it in the comments let me know what do you think. Like it if you like the content and I'll see you in the next video.


here. So a lot of cities, a lot of communities want you to pick up after your dog. But here in Australia, they provide the bags, right? They provide the doggie bags. Like all over public facilities, they provide the doggie bags. I mean, how sweet is that? Now, I don't think we could do that in Los Angeles because bad citizens would just steal them. But because you've got a more socially cohesive, socially trusting society here in Australia, the cities can provide the doggie bags all over Australia, right? These doggie bag stations have the bags. How sweet is that? That's what you can do in a high social trust society. We can provide lots of public goods.


For the circuit python parsec today I wanted to show you how you can use debouncer as a timer with a button inside of circuit python. What you'll see here on my desk is I've got a feather M4 and I have one of these little convenient PCB mounted buttons plugged into it but any kind of button or switch would work for what we're going to do and I just have the yellow one here plugged into that and what you're going to see is if you look over in my code window at the bottom there I have the REPL that's giving me feedback on things that are happening here. I'm going to press the button and it says timer started. So what happens is as soon as I press that button it starts an internal timer, it makes a little note, hey we've started a timer and the next event which is going to be me releasing this button it will tell me how much time elapsed. So in this case it was 13.982 seconds. So you can see here if I hold it for about a second, let go, almost exactly a second. If I try to be fast about it I get 0.059 seconds. So a really nice easy way to set up a timer here that's really simple. I'm importing the board library, digital I.O. and the Adafruit debouncer. Then I'm setting up my button as a digital in on pin A1. I'm setting it with a pull up resistor and then the button variable equals debouncer and then that button pin. Then during the main loop we do a debouncer update in this case it says button.update just looks for something to change, an edge case of something pressing or releasing. If the button falls then we say, hey the timer started. If the button releases we print time and then we print this line time button.lastDuration. So the last duration is that timer that says as soon as something happens we're going to start counting and as soon as the next thing happens we're going to let you know how long that duration was between the events. And so that is how you can set up a timer in CircuitPython using the debouncer library and that is your CircuitPython Parsec.


So basically what happened is that I have two cousins that play soccer for their school and the club. So while watching them, we came to kind of conclusion that they need a lot of footwork and confidence and confidence with the ball. That's something that I'm specialized in and that is my program provides. So we worked with them as much as we could once a week, twice a week, and they had the desire as well as the commitment to learn as well. So within the time frame they got better and then after that people noticed that and then hey, where are you getting your training? How come you got better within a month or two? What happened in between? And that's the part that everything started and then became word of mouth and people started to call and email and all of that and we started our business. We don't look at it typically as a business, we look at it as a program that what we can provide for other kids, players, individuals, groups or teams, that we can help them. How to get confidence and self-awareness that they have a lot of capabilities as long as they keep the work and as long as they put the work in. So that's the part that is started basically. So what age range do you coach? We have the youngest one, we have seven and then we all this one we have the college players. So from seven years old up to the college players, right now as of now the program basically works around individuals and groups and also teams. We don't just go with the teams because of a lot of coaches from different clubs that reach out. Can you work with them? Can you work on their foot skills? Can you work with the components with the ball? But most of the program is surrounded by individuals and small groups. And what's your favorite age group to work with? It's hard to say, it's hard to say because if I say one age rather than the other one, I think it's not fair for any of them but I think it's more of that what we can do for each age group. The younger ones when they come to your program, they look for, the first interaction is always that's the interesting part because they don't know you, you don't know them. So you try to make sure that connection comes first. One of the things that I always mention is the trust. And that's a 30 seconds, I would say 20 seconds of the time that I need and they need as well. If they trust you and we trust them that they do their part and they trust you that you are there to help them, not because of the hours they just don't want to spend and the hours they're just going to go in there and come back home. So I think it's there. So the challenging part is that that's the first connection you're going to have. Because if that connection is not there, then it's going to be a little bit difficult if the child wants to be or not. So the way we run it's a little bit differently. So when we come to more questions and along the side, I can explain more as well. But I don't have a preference of, okay, I have a seven years old or I have a 19 years old that I prefer. No, it's more about what I can do for each individual. Perfect. So tell us a bit about your business then. Do you guys specialize in one-on-one training or is it more groups? The program, the base of the program, the fundamental of the program, it's about ball skills and ball mastery and the technique first. So that's what we try to specialize in. It doesn't mean that the tactical part, the formation part and all of that is not there. It is there. We try to make sure that the players that come to us, they get to a level that when they get the ball, they don't just have to release it depending on the situation. They don't just have to pass it because someone said so. I have the ball. What can I do with the ball? Can I use my skills? Now, within the sessions that we go, after a couple of while, let's say five, six, seven sessions, we encourage parents to video their kids. And then can we watch them together? So if in case when we watch it together, it says, okay, you had the ball. Why you didn't take it one-on-one? Because I'm afraid I'm going to lose the ball. I'm afraid I'm going to do the mistake. So we have to go back a little bit to look at their mindset.  So if in case you're coming to the program and then you're building on these skills, why we're not applying? So we have to understand those parts as well. The program is not just because of someone wants to come and get better with the foot skills. It's more of understanding each child, each player, each individual for what we can do. So if I were to have five fingers in this situation, none of them looks the same. It's mine. So if I have five players, none of them think the same way. None of them receive the message the same way. None of them understand the same way. Some of them by demo, some of them by sign language, some of them by showing, some of them by drawing. So I have to understand each of them. How can I send a message that they can receive it the way they're comfortable? But it makes sense to them. So we try to make sure the program is not just about the skills and footwork, which is which we try to be specialized in. But more of that, what we can do for these kids and the players to get better with the ball. And I think that's the one thing is missing a lot is I try to make time and see the games as well from a different perspective. And I see a lot of with all my respected coaches is that everyone's in pass, pass, shoot, kick. We send a lot of messages within the timeframe of the game, which is they don't have that time to think. Can we give them time and break to decide what they're going to do, how they're going to do it, and then we can correct them on that scenario. But to shortcut answer your question, we'll know what program is specialized more on the foot skills, technique and ball mastery more than tactical part. Love that. So what would you say does a good high quality training session look like? So what should be included? The first thing we do is that as far as including the when the players come to us with the level of higher level is that the intensity has to be there. So you're going to bring the game situation into the practice as well. And we try to do it when I say differently that we try to come with the questions. For example, I use you as an example, if Leo comes to my session and we do certain things if he or she is a midfielder, attacker, striker, defender, depending on age and the level of the play, then we try to look at it, okay, you're in this scenario, what you could do, where you could go, how would you lose your defender? How would you use your body shape? So we try to make sure that the game situation is coming to the practice, but also ask questions. Don't do it because I said so. Don't do it because someone said, and you go from this, come to that, come, give me a pass, move the ball and all of that. And one of the piece we try to make sure that the players understand regardless of the age is other than the first touch is scanning space awareness. Why are you passing to me? Why are you going to your left? Why are you going to your right? So the intensity is one, the second thing is that understanding the game and scenarios that happens within the practice, the repetition of it, how we can make sure the game scenario and the repetition is high level, the intensity with intensity, and the players are under toes, not flat for it and make sure that everything that go through within their understanding, it has to make sense to them. So which is every time we do a session, we come with the question, does it make sense to you? And if in case she or he says yes, then we have to test it, then we bring a different scenario. Now does it make sense? No. Why not? Because of this. Okay. So let's repeat it in a different way. So we try to make sure the intensity is one, developing the part that they understand it, and then we take it from there and then keep it challenging because I think sometimes if we try to make it complex, it looks pretty from outside or from inside, it doesn't make sense to them. They're just repeating what you've been told to them, but it doesn't make sense. I'm repeating what the coach told me, but do you understand it? Nope. So what we can do? So let's break it down to phases, phase one, phase two, phase three. Now can we combine all together? Yeah. So we try to make it that way. Yeah. I definitely agree with you. Sometimes when I go to the park and I see coaches with loads of equipment, and I look at the player that they're training, and the player just looks confused about what to do. So the session looks amazing, but there's no end goal, and the player doesn't seem to be learning anything. No, but you have to look at it from the perspective of the player because sometimes we forget that we have to go back and see the players from their lenses, not from our lenses. So you have to look at it, the body language as well. The other thing is that the complexity of the game, sometimes it's the simple is better, but it doesn't mean the footwork cannot go pretty nice and all of that. I mean, look at someone said one time, we need it to be more simple, simple, but simple in a way is fine. And on the other hand, if the player can do, let's say Donalba, can do Neymar, can do Modric move, can do Zidane move, those are well known. If they can do it, let them do it. Let them have it, but they have to understand when, how, and why versus just doing it. So the training could be, depending on the level, depending on the age of play, could be structures and non-structures. This means, okay, I'll put the cones, you'll get better at it, then can I remove the cones? Now can you do it without? Now can I bring a little bit of interference, 50% challenge? Now can I bring 100% challenge? So I think when you develop kids at either of the age group or level, you have to make sure what age you have, what level you have, and what's the desire or the goal and where we can put them after that. So what do you look for when you bring on a new plan into your program? Well, the way we do it again, like I said, is a little bit differently. We don't accept players just to go on the website or just an email and they want to come to the practice. We do evaluation. So the players and the parents, they come to the program, they have to do evaluation for 30, 40 minutes. Depending on age, regardless of their age and regardless of the skill level, they come to us and we ask, okay, why you want to come to me? Why you want to come to this program? I say, I want to get better. Why you want to get better? Because I want to better play for better team, okay? Depending on age group, do you have a Snapchat? Yes. Do you have Instagram? Yes. Do you have TikTok? Yes. How many hours you spend on it? Then you look at the parents, they shake their head, they look at the players. So what I see is that if you come on and come to the program and spend time and then waste your time here and then the money that the investment, the parents comes, so you need to give me 10 minutes at home. If you're willing to give me 10 minutes at home, which is, I'll test you. So after four, five sessions, if I see that you're not improving, I'll ask, do you do your homework? And I said, no, I don't have time. That's an excuse. So if you don't commit to it, why are you coming here? So I want to make sure that the players know that, that, hey, if I want to go into this program or this academy or this training, I need to be committed. I don't want you to be perfect, which is, I usually don't use this word, hey, but I dislike perfect. Why? Because as soon as if someone is perfectionist, if something doesn't go the way they want, the mind have a trigger, I'm doing something wrong. Well, you're not doing something wrong, but I want you to progress every time. So if you give me 10 minutes at home, after five days, you spend 50 minutes with the ball. After two weeks, 100 minutes, so you're getting better 100 minutes each week, each two weeks. And then I can progress it. I can give you challenges. I can take it to the next level. But if you're not doing that at home and you're just coming here spending hour and after a week, you're coming for another hour, then I don't see that desire. So don't waste your time. So if there's a client that isn't doing the training at home, do you have a policy that they get released from your program or how does it work? How do you keep them accountable? We try to give them, let's say, three strikes. The first one is that why is not happening? Because we have to look at it. The children or the kids or the players at the background, there are things that we don't see. There are things that we don't hear. So can we see if in case they can share something with us if they're allowed? Or one, two is that do they feel free? So I go back to one thing that I said at the beginning, the trust. If they trust you that you're there for their benefit, short term or long term, they will make sure that you get the information and they trust you because you want the best for them. So when we asked them what's going on, for example, and they said, well, I don't know, I'm tired. I'm doing this activity. I'm doing that activity. I'm coming here. I don't have the desire. I'm coming right after the school. I didn't eat. So then I go back. It's not the child. So then I go to parent. I need to change his hours or her hours. Because if in case she's coming from school and she or he doesn't have the desire, that means she or he is tired. So I need to change that letter. The second thing is that if the player comes and then after three, four sessions and I don't see the desire, and I see, for example, Lexi, what's going on? And she's like, I don't know. So when we see the body language, then I'll try to talk to them in a way that do you want to be here? Do you have this dad? Do you think this is what you want? And then they say, nope. What do you like? I like basketball. I like tennis. So why you don't like this one? I don't know. My mom is making me. My dad is making me to do this. Then we have to go back again to that part that if in case they don't have the desire, if I'm forcing that training, and if I don't take that energy, that intensity, then I have to stop and see what's going on. So I think sometimes in the transition, we lose that. We just want someone to come and we train them and we just take the scope. But we have to look back. It's a human being we're dealing with, especially if it's a kid. So we have to look at it. What we can do. So sometimes we need to stop, take a break, and see if in case we can go back and then if they have the desire to come back. So I try to think about the things that what is going on behind so I can help them. And some of the times that you have to look at it because I don't teach, I'm not a club. I'm not at school or college. So some of these kids that they go to the club and all of that, they come back and they said, okay, what's going on?  Everyone wants this. Everyone wants that. So we have to go back and try to give them support. Hey, that's okay. I know it's hard. Let's see what we can do. Because I think within the club levels, sometimes unfortunately we lose the transition that hey, we're still dealing with kids. What we can do to help them to get confidence, confidence with themselves and also what they can provide and how we can do the sessions that would be fun, but also developing them as well. Love that.  The obstacle, I think this is probably most of the majority of the individual trainings or private trainings or session they started, it's a field that we don't have the exact field or because of the weather, we had to cancel and all of that. That being part of it, but I would say that within a couple of one to three months, because of these situations, we try to make sure we have an indoor sport 365. So we don't have to cancel. We don't have to do all of that. The other obstacle was like, I would say this is from my side, not from anyone else or the environment, is that the way we wanted to do it, we wanted to do it a little bit differently. We'll make sure that every player that comes to us have that commitment, wanting and desire to do this, spending time at home as well. So at the beginning was tough because now we're trying to say, hey, try to make sure to come to the program with the intention to get better, not just come here and kick a ball and go and then forget about it for another week and then come kick a ball and go. So that was the obstacle because when we started, we didn't have that much of client. But when the people that came and got much better, then the word came out and word went out. So now I have 378 players. I rejected 59. Do you see that amount every week? We start usually our program starts from 3 o'clock up to 10 o'clock at night every day. So this was for last year, seven days a week. On the weekends, we start usually 6 o'clock in the morning up to 12, 1, 2 in the afternoon. And then I needed a little bit of break to spend the time with the family. But other than that, no, was every day, 3 o'clock up to 10 o'clock at night. And usually a time every hour players or every hour group or every hour. So individual group, individual group. The thing was the hard time is that you have to manage. And I think this is the message probably I'm going to send out. If you're trying to coach young players, each individual have different skills. So I would say that plan ahead, know who you're coaching. Make sure that the sessions that you're doing is to that level. Fun is one part. Make sure that they understand it. So I'll try to make sure every player that comes, every session is ready. For whom is ready? What did we do last week? What we're trying to accomplish? And what's the goal? So where do you see private training go in mode in the next 2 to 5 years then? I think it is going to expand. I think right now a lot of parents, a lot of young players, a lot of players that have goals to get to a little bit higher level or maybe pro, they understand that they have to do a little bit of more work other than club or school or colleges. They have to work with individuals or groups that they can give them a little bit of more skill level, the ball control, the ball confidence and confidence and then go back to the club as well. So I think this program or individual training is growing and I think it's going to grow much, much more as well. So how did you get your first client then when you first started? It was word of mouth. It was word of mouth. Still we're doing word of mouth. We don't advertise. We don't put flyers or stickers or websites or even on Instagram. We don't do that much of advertising. It's all word of mouth because right now we have players from probably every single club around, every single school around and some of the colleges as well. So everything that every player that we have, I would say statistically every player we have, they brought three players back. So it's all word of mouth right now. So where do you see your business in the next five years from now then? It's a question that I think it loses a little bit in transition because a lot of people say, well, five years I want to grow and I want to do this, I want to do that. I would say I will take it step by step. I will say it every week, every month and try to see. And I think one of the things that I try to do is that I need to develop myself first. I'll try to read, I'll try to read, listen to podcasts, books, webinars. I spend between 1,500, I'll give you the numbers there to 3,000 every year just to get classes, get the webinars, talk to some people and try to make sure that I can learn from everyone. Learning could be from a seven years old, could be from a seven years old, could be from a young player who just started, could be from a mom or dad, could be from anyone. So I think the obstacle is that for me is I'm not looking at the five years, I'm looking at every month, what can I do to help myself to get better so I can help each individual so that way the program grows as well within the timeframe as well. But in the long term, the goal is within the years is to make sure that every kid, every player individual comes to the program, leaves with the competence, confidence with the ball and have that self-trust, self-awareness because we're trying to, I'm trying to say that I'm not coaching a player for a game, I'm trying to coach a player individual for life because at one time in their life journey, those cleats are going to go away. So what can I do to put that self-confidence that if you do the hard work and if you do your part, you're going to accomplish, it's just a matter of time. So my last question for you then, and this one's a personal one. It's a two-part question. So the first one is what does failure mean to you? And the second one is how important is taking risks in business? I love that question. A lot of kids, a lot of individuals, even us as an adult, we think as a failure, we or mistakes in general, that we're not good at it and we should give up. Or if in case I fail at something, that means, OK, I need to change that. But I think about failure or mistake, we have to look at it. It's your trying something. If it didn't work, what do you can do? So always I'd refer to that as a math. Two plus two is four, three plus one is four, five minus four, one is four, ten minus six is four. Result, we want to get better, we want to win. How? Find it. Something didn't work. Change it. Don't change your goal. Don't give up. Don't let anyone tell you no, you cannot do it. As long as you put the hard work, change the way that you play. If you play this way, it didn't work. What can you do after that? If you're not good at your left, you're not failing. You just have to try to practice on your left. Vice versa, right foot. The second question as far as I forgot the second question was all right. So how important is taking risks in business? Well, it all depends because I think that sometimes in life, you have to take the risk. Sometimes in life, in case you just want to play safe and it says, I'm waiting for the perfect moment or perfect scenario, or I don't have this or I don't have that, it doesn't happen. Sometimes you just have to take the risk and go for it because the more calculated risk, the better. But sometimes you just have to have the belief in what you want to do. And that's a part that I appreciate you asking that question. When you're starting this program, any program, you have to make sure if you believe in what you're doing, that you're going to help somebody else to get better, not because you want to just business or make money on all of that. If you believe in what you do and you know it's going to pay. In a long term, helping someone try to do it at the beginning. You might not have the field or you might not have the client. Go with one, start with one, and then slowly when that he or she gets better, you get the second, you get the third, but believe in what you want to do and believe in what you want to do is helping someone else. Don't just do it because it's pretty or nice or I'm going to have this. I'm going to have tournaments. No, help one and then step by step, help the second, the third, but if you believe in what you do with all intention, then you mean care about the players. If the player needs you off the field, make sure you put the time. If the player needs you because mindset, especially teenagers, you have to help them. It's not about a skill. For example, if Lexi, I use that name a lot, comes to you and says, Coach, I need to talk to you. I said, Lexi, I'm busy today. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I think that's a little bit of failure from my side because if she needs me, I'll make sure I put the time and effort. Even I just have to drive for one hour and see her. Let me see what she wants because then you're putting in her mind that, okay, there is always someone can trust me and I can get the help because we sometimes we try to not put the time afterwards. So I think if you believe in what you do and you can help take the risk and try to do as much as you can and just look forward, look forward to do that and learn from past. I love those answers. And Mo, I just want to thank you again for coming on, sharing your journey, sharing your story and giving us a little bit of an insight into your business. So if anyone is watching or listening and wants to either get in contact with you or follow your program, what's the best way to do so? My pleasure. Thank you for you taking time and talking to me as well. The first thing I would say, if in case anyone's are getting in touch, Instagram right now will be the best option. Email as well on the website, there's an email. Reach out to me. And if any of the coaches or anyone wants to start a program and needs help as far as the guidance from A to Z, license, how to take a facility, where to go, anything that I can help, please reach out and I'll make sure I can give you all the experience that I got for past few years to building my business. And right now actually we're in process to take another space as well, which is quality around 8,000, 9,000 square feet. So if you need any kind of support, any kind of help and you want to start your business as far as coaching, please feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to help you. Love that. That's perfect. Excellent. All right, Mo. Well, thanks again. Wish you all the best and good luck with the facility that you have coming up. My pleasure. Thank you for taking time. All right. Take care. Thank you. Thank you.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview of Everton vs Chelsea 12-30 Gwreson Park at the weekend joined by Stee and Andy. As expected, a managerial change at Everton. It's, I mean, we've done stuff over the last few weeks and said it just feels inevitable that you've been in a couple of times as well. I've decided that that was enough to make me decide that I'd be very Ronald Coom and like, a five to the feet result in the sack the next day, as it should probably. I guess it makes this preview a little bit more difficult, though, from our perspective, because at the time of recording this, we don't know whether it's going to be Duncan Ferguson in charge, whether it'd be David Unswet, whether it's a new manager, David Moog.  You know, you spoke to Duncan here, but it's hard to know what type it's for, if I probably want to play in terms of formations. We know that Unswet likes to miss out on the field, of course, but it's interesting. So it is hard to do it, but Chelsea, you know, they don't quite want to do this season, they play well, so it should be an interesting game. I mean, staying some respects because they've taken that decision all the longest decision ever. Does that mean, do you think, going into the ground now, the fan base will be, like, reinvigorate? I'm not putting it all on mark, as we know, I'm not, but what I mean is a change sometimes, fleshings, things like that. So do you think people will go to the game now with the renewed, come on, we can do this, we need to be with the team? Yeah, I think a lot of it will depend on probably using charge as well. I think even though, I think there's a massive difference between David Unswet being in charge and Duncan Ferguson being in charge. Obviously we've had the Unswet period before, it was obviously very up and down for him, it was a tough period for the club at the time as well. But I think, obviously with the status that Duncan's got, he's always had a really good relationship with the fans as well. I do think it will change the atmosphere for Saturday if Duncan was in charge, I think the fans would be right behind him. I think it'd be good to see a fresh face on the touchline for the fans as well. I feel like he'd be adding every ball with the team type of thing as well, cos he's just that type of card. You see him when we score goals, he's up and about. I know obviously a lot of people are a bit mixed with Duncan as well. But I do think it could definitely change the atmosphere if a silver was in charge. What would the atmosphere have been, especially after Wednesday night, if you'd picked the same old team, your Snidlans, your Sigartons, everyone would be like this again. I just feel like it transforms to the players as well and the players confidence is pretty low at the moment anyway. But I do think if it's Duncan in charge, I think you'll see a massive difference with the crowd on Saturday. Obviously, like you just said there, we don't know who it is. But how do you think the crowd have reacted if it was David Moyes?  I don't want to speak, I know people are on social media, they don't want them back, but I think they're back. It'd only take a couple of performance where Evan put a bit more commitment and effort in, which Moyes was teams were known for. Then I think it turned around quite quickly. I think Evan's fans forget that. A baseline expectation for Evertonians is commitment, where, great. I think Moyes can't guarantee it, but he will demand that of the players. I think that goes so long with Evertonians. I think that a bit of discontent with this team, especially after last night, is the fact that there doesn't seem to be heart or any desire in the team. I think a match you create, even if it was a Duncan Faggs, and I think the fans would get behind them quickly. I think if it was a Faggs, nor it was a Moyes, then I think even in Markham, at times we've changed it up, for example, when you play 4-3-3 at one game, and people are like, well, this is interesting. When the team sheets are alien, it's a bit of a mystery added to it, I think the fans are open to things. But when it's the same old, same old in the match, the same old, same old, I think that's when the expectation comes that we're not going to do well. I think the fans will be open minded once a new manager comes in. As far as Chelsea can say, having a good season, a lot of people felt they were vulnerable this season, and they still may be, they've just had the Frank Lampard, they've made a good start to the season. They've got 19 goals in the seven away game, so just under three again, isn't it? So, very dangerous, Tamiya Ibrahim, banging four, scoring goals left Leighton Centre. So, do you can hurt us without a shadow, without candy? Yeah, I've been impressed. I've watched a bit of Chelsea this season, just to see how Lampard would do as a manager. Obviously, I've watched them a bit with Derby last season as well. I've been really impressed with them. I've impressed with the way that he's got an identity of the footballer, the way they're trying to play, and how he's promoting the youth. Youth players like Tamori, Mount, Ibrahim. A lot of people always said that Ibrahim would be just a championship player, and he's obviously the second top scorer with Vardio, I think. So, I think he's done a really, really good job there. Under circumstances, they have been able to buy any players as well. They lost the best player in Hazard last season as well. So, I think you've got to give them a bit of credit for how he's got them playing, and how he's tried to, he's stuck to his gun drive, promoting youth, I suppose, as he said he would. Andy, being impressed with them? Yeah, I have, but I think that I, and other analysts and other people who watch the game, I think a lot of people underestimate the focus on the fact that they're playing young players, and that became the story. But when you look at the squad, most of that team were a championship under Antonio Conti. It's not that far removed. There's a lot of experience there, a lot of winning mentalities there. So, I think there's a nice blend of Chelsea, and actually they've basically got a free hit at a season where they can develop players and then buy our players. So, you know, Chelsea would probably be good for a title, and it's season on season time. I think another way the Lampards can be that manager, there's slight flaws in the Lampards game. You saw it in the championship with Darby last season. But I've got a good squad, you know, I really do like Tamori, Mesa Mount, good player, Tammy Abrams, a big fan. I think, you know, a lot of people didn't think he was good enough for that. When he was in the championship, which has been crazy now you laugh, but he's a goal scorer, you need goals scorers, and he scores goals. And the good thing with Lampard as well, he's got the fans onside straight away. It always helps having a club legend, like United had it through that little spell with SoulShark at the start as well. But I've watched him in some of the bigger games, and even when they've got beat, the fans have clapped them off because they've seen what they've tried to do. Which is a big thing in football, because you don't get time these days with a lot of fans, unfortunately. But they could see, I think what's amazing is Liverpool, and to be honest with you, they batted Liverpool at times, but they just couldn't get the ball in the net. But they come off even though they've got beat the fans, singing at the end, singing his name, clapped the players off, and I think that's always a good sign if you can get your fans on board as well. Yeah, what he brings is that Chelsea spirit, I suppose. There's a Chelsea legend, there's a fantastic time as a player there. The fans love him. He's gone in, and he's just said it was almost a free hit on able to get to any one transfer mark, and he's brought the kids, some kids through, and he's changed as another one, he gets on and other young players. So they've got some good players there, haven't they? And he's tried to give them a go as well, and so much so that the likes of A-Bram have kept Jury off the team. Last Saturday, sorry, they batted West Ham, and West Ham had four shots and one one-nil, and it was just one of those days, but I still think that they were applauded off in that. So if you've got someone who the fans can get behind, you will be supported there, and I suppose that shines the spotlight back on us, because it's been a while since we've had that, it's been a while since we've had an identification with a manager, really. I mean, Marko Silver for whatever reason, it didn't happen. The club, in my opinion, didn't do enough to sell him to people. Ronald Cooman was a leaf anyway, the fans didn't really like Sam Allardyshire.  There'd be some frustration at times. So I think if you've got that at a club, it helps, doesn't it? And Chelsea have said, and they've got that scoring lots of goals, playing well, I mean, to make your mum's goal in midweek. It's fantastic.  He's been involved in six of Chelsea's last goals away from home. I've got Billy Gilmore, he's got from Rangers, he's a crack on the field. Even William's been playing a lot better recently as well. Mark Wales, at the centre back, so they call, they've smartly built their team from, you know, and maybe these kids never would have got the chance if the ban happened before, they are, and it's sort of, Chelsea's fell into a really good situation in that sense. I think you mentioned Rhys James, what a footballer. I think he's going to be, it turns out, Alexander Alford, the England spot eventually, he's much better defender, much better physically. Watch them against policy, against aha, he had them in his pocket. He's a superb talent. Championship team. I don't want to bring this back to everyone, but Loan and players out to the right teams developing the sort of works, you know what I mean? And that's a thing that Evan could lay in from, a lot of teams could lay in from Chelsea in that sense. But they're going to be a tough opposition, they've got a number of goalscores, they've got experienced players as well, they can get them through games. Obviously William's played reasonably well this season. Pedro's still knocking around. They've got some good players, you can come off the bench and cause problems. Goodson, you know? I think there'll be a bit of renewed hope and I think if you pick the right side, if you put Richard in the right place, if you put maybe Keen or Johnnie Carver in the right positions with Bernard and the Wobby supplying them, I think, you know, the midfields are still an issue. But if you tailor them properly, this is the problem, we would be naive against Liverpool. If you tailor them a field and make them do minimal jobs, just a basic job and keep them sitting deep to protect the defence and we'll have chances. Now Chelsea are not the most defensive, because they see the goals this season. We can pick up points in this game, obviously it's going to be tough. I haven't won six of the last ten home games against Chelsea, which is better than what you think. More than we had in our previous 24, so on a decent little goal. Definitely there for the taking at the back. I still don't think he's settled on a definite two. Rudi has not been. He's been swapping. He's put Zuma in the Timorian to bring Christian in. He's woken for that perfect pass. I know he's put Aspergletta back to left back now and put James up right back tonight. I don't think he's settled on his back four. I don't think he's settled on his back four. He's got two players for every position up in the ring. I'm not too set on the goalkeeper either. He's probably going to be out with the broken hands. That's one of the... I think Lampard's brought him back. When he was at Inter, he was one of the best midfielders in the world. I think when he was at Real Madrid, he started playing within himself, because he didn't want to lose his place on the team. He lost his confidence. I think Lampard's given that back, and he's been a really good player. I didn't see it when he was at Dortmund. I think he was a good player. I thought he had some tricks, and he could get inside the box. But his final ball and decision-making wasn't quite there. Since he's come to Chelsea, he's been absolutely excellent. He's got in lately and being brilliant. He was saying he didn't have a break over pre-season. That's why Lampard left him out for a couple of weeks to give him a rest. He's resting him up. He probably could have done with a break. After the run of six consecutive clean sheets of gooders, we've actually only had one in the last six now. It's the first time we'll play a Premier League game in December in the bottom three since 2003. It's a tough game, but like you just said there, get the crowd engaged in the game. Start from a solid base, like we did last season. Last season, we beat them at home. We were in great form. They come together in the first 20 minutes. We were under the caution, but Hazard hit the post, and he was picking holes in us. We grew into the game and the crowd got involved, and then we came out for a second half and blitzed them. This isn't a team that's unbeatable by any threat. They're a good side, and they're playing well. But they're a team that gives you opportunities. We did OK against Leicester. I think the big difference will be, obviously the team will be different, because it's a different voice. The players have got to react after the hammering in the derby. I think the crowd might be more engaged, and therefore, with that comes renewed hope and a different way of playing. If we can get involved in the game, we do have players that can hear them, and hopefully the crowd will pull us through. It's no excuses now for the players. The players have just had a manager sack because of their performance, basically. Obviously, we've had our criticisms of the ex-manager, but it's down to them now. I think there will be a different stand that's expected by the new manager, wherever it may be. They're going to ask for different things. I think Marco maybe wasn't ruthless, or maybe at times a bit too nice, maybe not he wasn't behind the scenes. Or it doesn't seem to be a responsibility on the players' shoulders. It didn't see a responsibility for our performances. I think if a new manager does come in, whether it's Dunk, whether it's David Dunsworth, whether it's David Moyes, whether it's mystery option number four, whoever it may be, then there will be different expectations, and I think that will be good. I think the crowd needs to get behind us. Obviously, we've lost the crowd a little bit with the results of the season and the four and the bottom three. I think it's a false position for now, but hopefully we start a new chapter. It's still the same project. It's not a new project. I know people don't like that way, but Marcel Brands is still steering the project. It just requires a new manager to freshen things up, and hopefully we'll get back on our feet soon. I think we've definitely got better players than where we are by a mile. And even with limited sense of midfield options, if whoever it is in charge went with, say, Snidl and David's and the Wobie for the argument, say, as a three and just said to Snidl and Protect, the others have the legs. And then we did use Cyfrasialus and Moise Keen and Bernard for argument, say, we can cause them real problems, I think, you know, down there. Did you play on the counter here? Did you just have to let them over commit and then we'll pick them on the counter? It's not hard to get gooders and going from our point of view. All we ever ask for from players is hard work, fight, determination. Once you do that, if the players do that, the fans will get behind them. No doubt about it. Against knowledge, we didn't do that. No, no. And we're going into a spell of games now, where there's five games that are all tough, but I think we can take points in most of them. So it's up to us now to... And, you know, if they do that, then by the time we go to Manchester City on New Year's Day, the league could look very different and then we set ourselves up for a better second half of the season, but it has to start now. We just had the two of the toughest away games in the division. We lost both of them. It's a chance to now to bounce back three defeats on the run. It's all about... Need to get something from the game. All about reacting now and taking it forward. It's a must-not lose, basically. Let's see what happens. Let's see what happens.  Big thanks to Steve.

Well, my friends, we've got another instance where Republicans may be made a little bit of an oopsie And it's just so crazy to me how this just keeps happening again and again if you'll recall a couple of weeks ago the Hamilton County chapter of Moms for Liberty, I guess accidentally happened to feature a Hitler quote on the front page of the newspaper and now just you know weeks later We have multiple Arizona Republican Party officials having to come out and publicly distance themselves from an event where neo-nazi Nick Fuentes was the keynote speaker So here's the flyer for the event in question scheduled to take place on July 30th And as you can see it's an event organized by the Arizona College Republicans United Group And it prominently features Nick Fuentes as the guest speaker along with Jake Chansley also known as the QAnon shaman But on top of that there's also Ryan Sanchez aka culture war criminal who was formerly a member of a neo-nazi fight club Which is a thing called rise above movement But I mean the inclusions aside from the extremists and the Nazis that should really stand out to you the most are the Official Republican Party organizations that are supposedly affiliated that includes the Pima County GOP as well as the Maricopa and Yavapai County GOPs who are supposedly in support of this event Yeah, so you have official Republican Party organizations supposedly affiliated with this event Where a neo-nazi Holocaust denier is the keynote speaker that is not a good look and that's quite the understatement, right? But once the flyer was released and started to Circulate on social media Republican officials from all three of the organization supposedly affiliated quickly condemned it for example the Maricopa County Republican Committee tweeted the MCRC never authorized Sponsored or promoted the upcoming July 30th College Republicans United Convention any placement of MCRC or Maricopa GOP? Etc on anything associated with the CRU event is unauthorized now additionally Pima County Republican Chairman Dave Smith put out a similar statement saying that they also never authorized the event or agreed to speak at or Support this event and the Yavapai County Republicans basically echoed the same exact sentiment now The question is how did this happen? Did the Arizona College Republicans United group just lie or did people within these organizations give them the green light? Well the accusations are certainly flying and the paranoia has been ramped up because they're all kind of pointing the fingers at each other and This has kind of devolved into a hilariously entertaining kerfuffle online For example representative Alexander Koloden Responded to the flyer claiming the GOP committees I have spoken to were surprised to hear it whoever is doing this should be treated as a saboteur and in response to Koloden Luke Mossyman who was the chair of the Maricopa County Young Republicans Club Says that an insider told him that it was Brian Ference who is the Maricopa County member at large Who's the person that okayed at the inclusion at least for the Maricopa County GOP on the flyer? However Ference chimed in denying that saying I'm not authorized to make decisions for the entire MCRC Just curious who this supposed insider is or is it like anonymous quote-unquote experts now? I find this absolutely hilarious because you have a bunch of hyperpartisan conspiratorial Republicans all scrambling to place blame on someone other than themselves and they're all pointing the fingers at each other and They're getting increasingly conspiratorial talking about saboteurs and insiders and even though we're dealing with deep Unserious imbeciles. I do have to give them credit for at least being very entertaining But we're just getting started because College Republicans United decided to bust out the receipts and in response to the Pima County Republicans saying that they never agreed to speak College Republicans responded to that tweet saying GOP has an integrity problem Along with a screenshot of an email between them and the Pima County Republican Party's vice chairman where she says yes Absolutely when they asked her to verify that her or someone else was able to speak at the event and this verification email Was a follow-up to them getting the go-ahead in person So let's pause for a moment because based on that receipt It seems as if the Pima County GOP was caught dead to rights. They're lying, right? They confirmed that they would be speaking at the event. This is their second vice chair However, even though that is true and that email is real Well, they responded and the response is actually fairly reasonable at least by Republican standards, right? They're claiming that they were misled by the CRU and when you hear their side of the story It's not unreasonable to deduce that mmm. Yeah, it seems like CRU didn't really give them the full picture when they talked about this event Here's the details the Arizona Mirror reports quote This was a setup Pima County GOP chairman Dave Smith told the Mirror Smith said that ASU CRU's founder Rick Thomas approached Anastasia Tatakis the party's second vice chairman at an event and asked if the county party would Speak at a college Republicans event. They agreed and ASU CRU later followed up with an email Sending a flyer that did not list Fuentes or a Pima GOP as a sponsor quote We just thought she was going to be a speaker at a Republican conference Smith said we were Misrepresented to and lied to Smith said that the ordeal has caught him off-guard and created new ways that the county committees will be Communicating in the future that sentiment was echoed by Tatakis who was listed as a speaker at the event Representing the Pima County GOP this particular activity and behavior where you are sabotaged and set up is completely Indescribable to me Tatakis said we do not participate in any anti-semitic anything. This is horrible and had we known we would have never Committed so when you hear their side of the story I don't necessarily think that it is wrong for them to feel like they were being misled Although before we got their side of the story I told you that their response was reasonable by Republican standards and that's because I don't think that they're without fault Completely, you know, it's clear that they didn't do their due diligence now They did respond to the CRU and their receipts with their own receipt And they shared the flyer that was given to them in a Twitter reply saying actually you have an integrity problem This is the attachment that you sent to our second vice chair. She agreed to speak at a GOP event You sent her a different flyer not the one you're now promoting No one agreed to appear with your anti-semitic white supremacist extremist now If you look at the flyer here closely, there's one very big red flag to me That leads me to conclude that they just didn't do their due diligence here So even though the quality is terrible, you can still make out the text that says more pending quote other speakers redacted due to security and me personally if I saw that on a flyer that they sent me as part of an Event that I was going to be a part of I'd be at least a little bit curious, right? I'd want to inquire more about that at least for my own personal safety reasons because of this person is a security threat or there's threats to them Well, I think that it's Important to know how that's gonna affect myself or the other speakers potentially So the fact that they weren't curious enough to ask that is a failure on their part and it's also a failure on their part because They're working with this group for this event that in the past has had ties to Nick Funtas's white nationalist movement And these ties have been known and open for years But I mean maybe those Republicans within these organizations just didn't know that but I mean you probably should have known that right? If you are part of the official GOP in your county, then I think that it is incumbent on you to know Who you're coordinating with who you are organizing with either way it does seem like the college Republicans Were being overly coy because they knew that the presence of an out-and-proud neo-nazi might be a little bit too Controversial to put it mildly, but they got into more of a back-and-forth on Twitter and this exchange as you can see is deeply unhinged so CRU responded to that tweet from Pima Republicans saying the flyer changed multiple times since mid-June Speakers have been added and taken out the list several times because of hard feelings about one or more speakers Before Funtas was even thought of guilt by association has been a leftist mindset that GOP has now adopted Yes, because not wanting to be associated with Nazis is a very lefty mindset Pima responded saying values and principles matter if you can't denounce an anti-Semitic racist You might belong in the Democratic Party, which is just again fucking wild now CRU responded to that saying But doing things with the log cabin Republicans and other homosexuals. That's okay for Pima GOP Your big tent is degenerate that exchange to me is hysterical because on one hand you have the CRU saying oh You're doing this guilt by association game the leftists are doing But then they're like this shoe with the log cabin Republicans Which is guilt by association It's just it's hilarious like all of these people are So Unserious that I can't look at this and not find it just incredibly entertaining like to see them bicker back and forth I say let them fight now whether or not these Republicans the official Republicans not the Nazis although You know, maybe that's a distinction without a difference depending on who you're talking about But the official party organizations, you know, whether or not they were misled or this was simply a miscommunication That's up to interpretation But the problem is these Republicans Didn't denounce Nick Fuentes because they felt compelled to take a principled stand against neo-nazis and anti-semitism as they said Let's be clear. They did it because that's what was politically expedient because in an op-ed for az central E.g. Montini explains while arizona republicans proclaim how grievously offended they are to have been linked in any fashion To nick fuentes a number of their most high-profile members are linked to him proudly Republican states senator wendy rogers for example was a proud speaker at fuentes as america first political action conference in florida last year Where she called the white nationalists in attendance? Patriots and promoted hanging enemies then there's republican u.s. Representative paul gosar who has also attended a fuentes event and defended fuentes on the right-wing social networking site gab Saying the phony january 6th committees partisan witch hunt continues as they have now set their sights on young conservative christians like nick fuentes This is pure political persecution and it has to stop you might remember as well that gosar and fellow republican representative andy biggs Were among 26 members of the house oversight and accountability committee who refused to sign a pledge denouncing white nationalism and white supremacy As well as the kooky but widespread great replacement theory That says non-white individuals are being brought into the united states to replace white voters And there's the state republican party's most high-profile member losing governor candidate kerry lake She not only endorsed gosar, but said of him congressman gosar is the goat We need strong america first patriots like gosar at every level of government. Yeah And therein lies the problem, right? Publicly distancing yourself from a high-profile neo nazi. That's one thing But tolerating the anti-semitism that is rampant within your sphere of politics in your republican party institutions That just makes you complicit if you don't also combat that And let's be clear if nick fuentes weren't such a high-profile neo nazi odds are These republican organizations would have no problem with him speaking alongside them because it's not the views that he espouses That make them uncomfortable. It's the political fallout that they're really scared of right? It's the backlash to being associated with him that frightens them not his views And if they really were ignorance about him and this organization's affiliation with fuentes's griper movement Then don't you think that this whole kerfuffle would be a wake-up call? And I say this because as stop anti-semitism reports This entire event ended up getting shut down by the venue itself due to nick fuentes's inclusion And if you look at the replies, which you never should I mean you can see that it is just deeply deeply anti-semitic and all of these anti-semites Are being floated to the top since they pay for twitter blue. Shouldn't all of this Shouldn't the constant oopsies that they keep having Make them a little bit uncomfortable Lead to them realizing. Hmm It's weird how so many neo nazis are prominent within the same political circles That I run in I mean think about it from your perspective if you're a dsa member, right?
