Great. Welcome to digital asset news to get top stores and crypto right now to bite sized pieces. So today just the thumbnail title suggests Mark Cuban had a pretty good statement about what could potentially turn the bear market around and I'm not going to put a ton of stock into it. But what he said makes a ton of sense. So we'll take a look at exactly what he talks about. And then I just want to do a quick updates as far as the Celsius recovery video with Simon Dixon. That will be tomorrow at 10am Mountain Center time or high noon Eastern time. And there will be just a little information as to where you can submit your questions because we're going to do this live. And Simon will tell us exactly what's going on with this recovery plan for Celsius. Also, we're going to take a look at the Fed Reserve. Jay Powell came out and said, Hey, guess what America's economy is strong. And you know what that means when he says it's strong. And then lastly, we'll take a look at three arrows. Capital was liquidated in the BVI and what that means moving forward. So before we get all that stuff, let's first take a look at the markets and it's another bad day. Well, it depends on it actually depends on how you look at it. This is a bad day for you because the markets down is a good day for you because you're like, Hey, this is my day to DCA and pick up some pretty cheap cryptos. Me personally, I think we're going to go a little bit lower. But everybody's got their own opinions. And I don't have a crystal ball. But I can tell you when we go and take a look at the Jay Powell story, you'll be like, Yeah, that might be true. So now Bitcoin and last, it's pretty much stable. Ethereum's down 4%, almost 5%. That's pretty big dip actually 5%. Binance coin down 5%. Stable coins are up. That's great. Tether USDC. Good for stable coin holders like myself. And everything else is down. Dogecoin for some unknown reason is up whatever if you want to keep buying that one. Great. Leo token. Yeah, Bitcoin and everything else is kind of like, basically, we're going to want a big holding pattern. Everybody's holding their breath to see exactly what happens. And of course, if we're down, that means that probably traditional market is also down. NASDAQ is also down because, you know, that's just how it works across the continuum because which market is liquid 24-7, 365 besides 4x, it's crypto. And if there's a lot of risk, if people are going risk off, guess what gets sold first? Usually it's crypto. I could be wrong. I'm interesting about that in the comments. But let's just go into a real quick update, which is the Celsius recovery plan. Now, to my knowledge, correct me in the comments section, but you still cannot take any of your assets off of Celsius. And because of that, there's been a lot of radio silence from the Celsius network about what's going on over $10 billion, I believe, in assets managed. And it's just kind of sitting there in a holding pattern just like the rest of us. So we're going to have on Simon Dixon. And of course, we talked about him in the past. Bank of the Future. Bitcoin OG Investor. Invested and started in 2010. Invested in small startups like Coinbase and Kraken and those types of places, Bitfinex, and still around and still doing good for the community. So we are going to have that recovery plan as he talks about what he has been in discussions with Celsius. Now, he has signed an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement, so he can't tell us everything, but he's going to give us a little bit of tips and what is potentially going to happen. So do not miss that one. If you're looking for that video, I linked it in the description. I would go there now or at least after this video, click on that no to find me button so you can know when it's actually going to come and come on by for the live stream. Also, I did an interview with Simon three months ago and he just talked about how much pain was in store for us. Again, this was three months ago. So I linked that in the description so you can understand and kind of just get a feel for of who Simon Dixon is and where he comes from before we have the recovery plan. And lastly, if you want to submit your questions, you can do so. It's at slidoapp.sli.do, and I linked that also in the description. It's the very first link or second link down there. And we've got a lot of them already. We've already got 253 questions, but what's great about this is that you don't have to submit your question. You can just look at it and go, oh, that's a question I'd like to have like this one. In the bit the next video, you've shared some depositors lost 25% of their assets. Do you expect a similar outcome? That's a good question. I'm going to upvote that. So the ones with the highest upvotes are going to be answered by Simon. And again, that'll be tomorrow live 10am mountain time, high nude Pacific time. And it is again, I do not miss. So that's what's going on. Let's get to, I think, a good story, one of the main stories.  What's he done for crypto? Well, I gotta tell you, he makes a pretty good point here. And the point is this visually, it comes out of two things. Crypto will take off when everybody capitulates. He's going to say that in the end of the story. And the second thing is really the primary thing is find it the useful app, some kind of big app that comes out that actually has use. And before you start saying, but Rob, we can do all these things on, on Ethereum and Ave and get loans and DeFi farming and, and, and all these things. I'm like, is that really the greatest utility of all time? I don't think it is. So here's what the story goes to bear mark will last till crypto apps are useful. I tell you, I think he's right. Mark Cuban said the crypto parent market won't be over until there's a better focus on apps with utility. He also doesn't think the market has hit chip cheap prices yet. Cuban say in the past he has around 80%, I don't know, 80% of his non shark tank portfolio was in crypto. I know he didn't do too hot with that iron finance. He said he got out early, but I think he got rug pulled. That's just me. And he states this, the crypto bear market lasts until there's a catalyst and that catalyst is going to be an app or we get so low people go effort off to buy some. And I think that's going to happen around, actually, I'm not for sure. People are talking about Bitcoin potentially going to 14k, a lot of TA analysts, maybe 15, 16k. I still think that when it hits 14k, that your friends who have talked about buying it will be like, yeah, but I'll probably get it when it goes to 12k. And they'll miss it because that's just how your friends probably are. So to go on, with so many apps focused on financial tech or collectibles, which is true, the launch of a business focused app would be one of such events that could spark a reversal. His example was a decentralized version of QuickBooks. I'm not for sure if that would be the most awesome thing, but okay, I use QuickBooks myself. It works just fine, centralized. I pay the monthly fee and off I go. I don't see how a decentralized version would actually be anything fantastic, but sound off in the comments and tell me where I'm wrong. And he did make a good point also. He says, you look at the market cap and you see it's a billion dollar plus market. And then you don't look at that and go, that's cheap because right now we take a look at the prices and go, wow, it's pretty high. It's going to go lower. But remember in DeFi summer, the things that we're selling for less than a penny, and then markets were in the hundreds of millions, nobody was buying that stuff. They're like, that's cheap stuff. I'm not going to get that. People wait until it goes all the way up and they buy high. And of course they sell low. That's just the recipe for disaster. Not what I'm trying to do here on this channel. And he makes a good point. Lower market cap cryptos, there's no utility. And he gives an example of sushi swap. Again, I know people are like, but Rob, we can get all these different cryptos and things like that. Yeah, but what do those cryptos do? I mean, really, if you think about it, what do your NFTs do? The NFTs that you bought, what do they do for you?  You can get some sweet parties, I assume. What does it really do for you? And then for DeFi and getting loans, that could be one of those things. I could see that because I've used that myself. But outside of that, a lot of these cryptos that we think have utility, it's just a utility in our bubble. I don't think there's really that killer app where the average Joe and Jane will be like, oh, you know what? That is exactly what I need. And I'm going to drop everything and use it. I think that's the big squeeze. And we'll bring you to go. Cube and Belize mergers between different protocols and blockchains will eventually see the crypto industry consolidate. That's what's happening in every industry.  Basically, all he says in the last one here is this. And he's, again, this is the thing that I've been talking about. I don't see how crypto is really going to go any further because there's 19,000 plus cryptocurrencies and products out there. I think what's going to happen, especially when the SEC starts to say, hey, this is a security, which they're going to win in that argument. I'm sorry. And a lot of these are going to be securities in those small ones. They're not going to make it. And the only way they're going to make it is if these bigger ones snatch them up and go, we're going to absorb you. We're going to buy you for X amount of millions of dollars. We're also going to take your developers. That's pretty much how businesses work. Now I could be wrong, but I see that's kind of like the way or the path forward for these types of things. And then when he's talking about apps, I want you just to real quick, I'm just curious. If you tell me an app right now or a cryptocurrency that has real world utility, like I can tell you right now, Bitcoin's great. I mean, some people will say it's story value, some people say it's not, some people say it's goal 2.0. But I gotta tell you, if you want to move any type of revenue or monetary value across the world, Bitcoin is the way to do it. If you ever tried to move $10,000 from America to Europe or from America to China, I have sucks and it's expensive and it takes a long time. Sometimes it doesn't even arrive. So in that regard, I can say yes, it does. And then as far as stable coins, those actually work great, especially if you want to maintain the level of purchasing power for the fiat that you're in. I mean, of course, we always talk about Venezuela and things like that, because you can put in a stable coins and it's right there. Now, if you're making 400 or 500 bucks a month and you put in a Bitcoin, it goes 50% down. I don't think that's a great story value. That's just me. So I'm just asking what kind of crypto has like really wide ranging utility? And let's see. Some people say XRP. We'll see that happens. Helium? Yeah, I don't know how much you're making on that one. Bats a decent browser? Yeah, but Bats, I mean, has it really, Bats a great browser. And of course, the basic attention token is good, but is anybody using that for like to purchase things online and doing a lot of mass things? I don't think so. Bitcoin has no utility. Letting goes on. Okay. Well, how about lightning on layer two? I can see that for sure. Only ETH? Again, I mean, you can build things on ETH. But again, what is essentially ETH? ETH do? Bitcoin, ETH, CULT, DAO sold as two months. Again, I don't care how many transactions per second it does, but what does it actually do? And then VeChain, is that really taken off like it was supposed to? Like it was supposed to actually, you know, be endorsed by the Chinese government and actually take a look at fraud and tracking and things like that. It's just hard to say. So I will just say this. The reason I just want to know what people had thought about that. But the thing is like this. When I take a look at actual real loose utility, like you can use it right now, and it does an actual function. And like it's ready to go out for mass adoption. I'm telling you, this one, the sweat coin. Oh, and of course, I was going to talk about, yeah, but it's sweat coin. Because look, I can show you, let me stop this. Look, you can download this right now. You can take some steps and you run these tokens and it's free. And then by certain stuff like right here, you can follow me as far as like, see if you can beat me in the, oops, you know, turn this on. Try to beat me in the steps. If you beat me in the steps, top three, I'd have it on the show or pay 50 sweat coins. And again, for right now, this app that you can download, you will actually, for every thousand steps you take, you get one sweat token. Then on September 12, 2022, it goes in the cryptocurrency. And right now, this is the number one app health and fitness on the entire planet. So I just thought those are the things that I see is like, okay, I can see that. And then lastly, just so you know, the deep dive video that I was promising to do is coming out this weekend on Saturday. So if you don't follow me on the second channel, Dan Degen, that's the one where like the super risky stuff is linked in description, you can find that out. And I'll tell you all about sweat coin that's what you want to know. Anyhow, let me just think about that in the comment section. And let's move on to some not great news. Well, we'll see. So this is Jerome Powell. And he was there was given an interview on Bloomberg markets. And I want you to listen to this because CPI numbers are going to come out July 13, I believe, in the week after that, the Fed meeting will come out and they will raise rates, or maybe not. But after you listen to this, I want you to get a feel of where you think Jay Powell is going to raise rates because in this one, he's talking about like everything's fantastic. And it's going to be great. So let me share the tab so you can actually hear it when I mute myself. So you don't hear any echo deal is possible onslaught of interest rate hikes. So the US economy is actually in pretty strong shape. So if you look back a year, the US economy grew more than 5.5%. It was really the big reopening year. And so we had expected this year to be that growth would moderate to a more sustainable path. We also, of course, are raising interest rates and the aim of that is to slow growth down so that supply will have a chance to catch up. We hope that that growth can still remain positive. So if you look at the strength of the economy, households are in very strong financial shape. They've still got a lot of excess savings from forced saving, from not being able to travel and things like that, and also from fiscal transfers. So households are overall, not every household and not the ones at the lower end of the income spectrum, but overall in strength. The same thing is true of businesses, very, very low rates of default and things like that, lots of cash on the balance sheet. The labor market is tremendously strong, still averaging very, very high job growth per month. So overall the US economy is well positioned to withstand tighter monetary policy, we think. But is it automatically a trade-off between fighting inflation or taking care of the economy and how far are you willing to go with interest rate hikes? So I guess I'd say it this way. Our aim is to have growth moderate. It's sort of a necessary adjustment that needs to happen so that, again, supply can catch up. It could be supply of workers, it could be time for the supply chains to improve. So the sense of that is that if we can get, right now, supply and demand are really out of balance in many parts of the US economy. Labor market being a big example of that. We need to get them better in balance so that inflation can come down. And that's the aim of what we're doing. Now, we don't have precision tools, obviously monetary policy, famously a blunt tool. That is our aim, that is our intention. We think that there are pathways for us to achieve that, to achieve the path back to 2% inflation while still retaining, sustaining a strong labor market. We believe we can do that. That is our aim. There's no guarantee that we can do that. It's obviously something that's going to be quite challenging. And I would also say that the events of the last few months have made it significantly more challenging. Thinking there particularly of the war in Ukraine, which has added tremendously to inflationary pressures around food and energy commodities and agricultural chemicals and industrial chemicals and things like that. So it's gotten harder. The pathways have gotten narrower. Nonetheless, that is our aim. And we believe that there are pathways to achieve that. Okay, so if Jay Powell's going to come out and say that the U.S. economy is strong and there's really no problems, and they're just taking a look at, well, the balance sheets and the businesses, everything's looking pretty good and the unemployment rate is not so bad. And we can just move forward. The question then for you is where do you think this is actually going to go as far as Fed rate hikes? I got to tell you. I think when CPI numbers come out and we can take a look and say, well, what happened with inflation? There's a great website. It's called app.trueflation.com. I talked about this before. There's a link in the description. And what you can do is you can drill down as to where inflation is. And it takes a look at 30 different data points. And it uses chain link to it's as an oracle to take out these 30 data points for real world data and put this all in and say this is where we believe it is because the factors that the U.S. government and other places use is a little bit out of date. I need to say right here when we had the Fed rate hike in May or so, I know we talked about 8.5%. I personally was a bit higher. But here at Trueflation, they think it's around 10.5%. And of course with the rate hike, you would think, well, hopefully that the inflation will go down, although they can't really do a lot of things with supply chains. So here we are. And it really hasn't done much. And now we're still sitting at 10.68% as far as inflation. So again, if Jay Powell thinks that everything's great, and when those CPI numbers come out, I personally don't believe they're going to be down than what they were last month. So what does that leave them with? Well, another three quarter to a full basis point hike. And if that happens, what do you think is going to happen in the market? There's going to be some people will say, oh, it's always priced in. There's no problem whatsoever. And that'll just, it'll just be stagnant. I do think that we're going to take a hit. But that is just my opinion. And also what he talks about, he said, well, there is some strong economic growth. If you take a look at the GDP, there was actually the last quarter before last there was a 5% growth. And he's right. In 2021, now we can take a look at GDP growth. There was a bump. But we know we can feel it. We go to the store. We can take a look at the CPI numbers in a second. We can go to the gas station. We can see that there is an increase in prices all around. I don't know about you at your job. I don't know if you're getting raises here and there. But we've had a retraction of GDP in last quarter. And I believe in July, we're going to see another contraction. And that would lead us to what will be considered a active recession. So we will see. And then lastly, I want to say this, the CPI numbers. I mean, you can, I also put this link in the description. You can find it yourself at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. You take a look at energy and drill down energy commodities, fuel oil. Look at this 106% of our 12 month time frame gasoline 48%. Let's go back. Food, food at home. You can break it down, cereals, eat some poultry, eggs, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and they're all up across the board. So again, I know what Jerome here is saying is he's like, hey, the economy's strong because we take a look at balance sheets for these different companies. I gotta tell you, if this is not a recession, I'd hate to see what a real recession actually looks like. So let me just think about that. And there is one last thing that is not great news, not bad news, but the unemployment rate. Usually in recessions, we see the unemployment rate just rise dramatically. And you can see here, this is just for the United States. I don't know where exactly you're at. But if you take a look here, April 2020, of course, that was during that time of coronavirus, we had a 14, almost 15% unemployment rate. A lot of people wanted to be unemployed because they got that nice little stimmy check. Well, and also some benefits. I guess everybody got a stimmy check, it's true. But if we take a look here, over time, we've gone from 6.7, 5.8, 4.6, 3.8. And now in May, last one to note, 3.6%, which is the same as it was in April and March and almost January. So the thing is then, well, we should be doing okay because the unemployment rate is actually pretty stable. However, check this out. I think there's rumblings in the backgrounds. And it's not just crypto companies that are laying off people.  There's some other different higher exchanges that are letting people go. And now we're seeing big layoffs by Wall Street. So this isn't factored in yet, but I think it's going to be a big thing. So let me share that again so you can hear it. I thought all these banks were going out trying to hire anyone they could get to walk in the door or even log on remotely. What's changed? Yeah, hey, Contessa, that's actually very accurate. That was a story as of just earlier this year and last year. So let's set the scene a little bit. 2020 happens, obviously, the pandemic. The reaction to that is to at least trillions of dollars through the Federal Reserve and taking interest rates down to zero. And what did that do? That set off a deluge of IPOs, a deluge of deals, M&A deals, and banks appropriately staffed up. So if you look at the numbers, Contessa, so J.D. Morgan, which is one of the biggest Wall Street firms out there, added something like 13% to their headcount. Goldman Sachs even more, closer to 17%. Just for those two firms together, you're looking at about 15,000 more bodies, the Wall Street operations than they were two years ago. So that's the scene we have. And what's happened this year is interest rates are higher. You've had parts of the capital markets business completely either be very chilly or shut down completely.  And if you look at the deal logic data, it is staggering. There's a 91% drop in US IPOs. If you look at high yield, riskier parts of the debt issuance, that's down something like 75%. M&A is down 30%. So there's no part of the investment banking franchise that's been untouched by this revenue squeeze. Hugh, 15,000 people, and that was just at the first two firms mentioned Morgan Stanley proportionally hired even more. Was it too much? Did they just think these trends were going to last forever? Yeah. This gets back to the nature of Wall Street, which is that it's a boom and bust to feast or famine business. And when it's raining, you have to obviously try to collect as much of that revenue as possible.  Because when the deals are coming, you have to have your boots on the ground. And as a matter of fact, I mean, we're talking about, we led with huge layoffs. And I tend to think they're going to be more selective. The people I'm talking to are really talking about more of the framework of 5% to 10%. So these are Wall Street jargons, rifts, reduction, and force. And they still want bodies, they still want people in their seats at the start of 2023 because you don't know if the capital market is going to open up. You don't know if the dam breaks in terms of issuance that's in the pipeline that's been pushed out actually gets to start to happen. So it's going to be selective, but it will be broad basis from what I'm hearing. I don't know if it happens this summer, which would be very unusual by the way, or if it happens later in the year in the October, November timeframe. But the math is very clear, there have to be cuts. What are you hearing? So that unfortunately is just the reality of the situation. So we have those issues, and I think that there's going to be other layoffs coming on right now. We're pretty low, but again, I see there's more pain coming up. I know it's not a very popular stance, but that's just how I see things. Let me know where I'm wrong. And let's move on to the last article, which is three hours gets liquidated. And this should come in as no surprise to anybody. But this just happened a couple of days ago. So BVI Court of British Virgin Islands, which is where three hours capitals incorporated has just ordered them to be to start the liquidation process. The courts which made order on Monday appointed two partners that consulting and advisory firm to nail to handle the liquidation. Tanao will oversee talks with potential buyers that may be interested in three hours remaining holding such as tokens or equity and crypto startups. That's bad. A website will be set up to locate creditors and determine who is owed what three hours is the best in a range of DeFi platforms such as Ave and Dydx. Court order brings down the curtain of one of crypto's most famous hedge funds founded by Zusu and Kyle Davies from her credit Swiss traders. I didn't know they were traders. Good for those guys. Unfortunately, they made a lot of bad decisions. And especially with what happened with Terra Luna and and they made a lot of they had a lot of loans which are not going to be able to pay back and people are getting defaulted. So right now I know this doesn't sound good, but this has to happen. This has to happen to get to flesh out all the negativity and and see where we land after all this happens. Again, I think there's going to be a lot of the VCs that we're investing into a lot of digital assets and cryptos. Look for those lockup periods. There's a link in description which shows you exactly how to find it on Masari for all the different layer ones and big products that are out there. Because I can tell you right now some unlocks are coming and a lot of these VCs are underwater and they need some money. And where can they get that? Well, in a very liquid place such as crypto digital assets. So hey, to be the bar, bearer of bad news, maybe it could all be wrong. Maybe everything starts to shoot to the moon tomorrow. I have no idea. It's crypto, but those are the things that I see. So let me know what you think about that in the comments section and that concludes today's news. If you got to take off, get out of here. Don't look at your portfolio. I'll be down anyhow. It's just mine too. But if you want to stick around, I'll answer all your burning questions, the best of my abilities and we'll go from there. Also, don't forget tomorrow the Simon Dixon interview. Go there, ask your questions or at least upvote the questions so I can ask Simon the most relevant things as it pertains to Celsius and its recovery plan. So that's it. So thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. See you on the next one. Let's get to a little Q&A. And I got burned on the sweat coin thing. Let's see.


So, I was originally going to talk about this sooner, but I got a little sidetracked once Bernie Sanders announced that he'd be exiting the 2020 race. But I do still think that it's important because it demonstrates why there is such this huge trust deficit when it comes to Joe Biden and voters. And I think that politicians in his generation disproportionately need to realize, not to sound ageist, is that in the age of the internet, you can't just brazenly lie anymore. Like we're not going to wait until the mainstream media broadcasts your conflicting speeches or opinions or views. We can look that up on our own accord, so it's incumbent on you to be as consistent and honest as you possibly can and not change the story suddenly if what you were saying previously is now inconvenient. So in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Stephanopoulos, that name is impossible. In an interview with ABC News, he was asked whether or not he believed that it was safe for people to vote in Wisconsin. The answer is no, unequivocally, but he was kind of dodgy. He didn't really give a direct answer. As you know, Wisconsin now having its primary on Tuesday, your opponent, Senator Sanders, has said that should be put off and the governor now joined that course as well, but it looks like it's going to happen. Is that wise? Well, look, I think they should just follow the science. And what I've been hearing, I've been following it like you have, like everybody has, watching the court action is still in court now. But I think whatever the science says is what we should do. Whatever the science says is whatever we should do, which is what?  So like, don't just say that we have to listen to them. You've been consulting with them. So tell us what they're telling you. What do they say? I would imagine they would be saying, of course, it's a bad idea to force people to vote during a global pandemic. So at that time, when Bernie was still in the race, if you and Bernie both told people that it's not safe for them to vote, then there's really no loss for either of you there. You're both making the responsible, albeit difficult decision to tell people to protect themselves. Right? There's no way that I would have encouraged people to vote and risk their lives potentially. Like I would have that on my conscience forever if I were running for office. And I told people to vote even if I knew at risk, it would potentially put them in jeopardy and risk their lives. But Joe Biden, a couple of days prior in a virtual town hall said, you know what? It's not up to me. We just have to let the courts decide. Well, I mean, they decided we all know how that turned out. And the Republican courts in Wisconsin said, we're going to force them to vote in a global pandemic. Now he's been making a lot of really problematic statements about COVID-19. And this isn't just a recent phenomenon. He was making problematic statements on Super Tuesday 3, which occurred on March 17. And for more on this, we'll go to a Daily Beast report by Scott Bixby and Hunter Woodall, who explained, there's a lot of things that can be done. That's for the Wisconsin courts and folks that decide. Former Vice President Joe Biden said last Thursday in a virtual press briefing in which he insisted that in person and mail-in voting could both be done safely, even though he considers the possibility of a national convention in the state to be a potential risk to public health.  A convention having tens of thousands of people in one arena is very different than having people walk into a polling booth with accurate spacing, with six to 10 feet apart, one at a time going in and having the machines scrubbed down, Biden said. I think you could hold the election as well, dealing with mail-in ballots and same-day registration. I think it could be done, but that's for them to decide. I can only wonder if he's completely aware of the situation on the ground in Wisconsin. Kim Butler, head of the Polk County Democratic Party, said of Biden not calling for a delay because I don't think if he was really seeing and hearing what was going on here that he would necessarily feel that way. But Butler, who lives in a red county and said the dynamics playing out on the ground in her area have shown her how difficult it can be to vote, worries that in person voting Tuesday means that voters will get sick and that fears of the pandemic will suppress the vote. My major fear is that people are going to get sick and possibly even die from voting tomorrow. Butler said in Sock County, the Democratic Party chair said Monday morning she was focused on getting absentee ballots returned. But in another sign of the times, she wasn't actively encouraging in person voting on Tuesday. So initially he said we should let the courts decide the courts decided and seeing the blowback that the Republican controlled court got how unpopular that was almost universal condemnation from people in the center and the left. Well, all of a sudden he's changing his story. He's no longer saying we should distrust the courts. This is what he had to say. Do you think you won in Wisconsin tonight? Ordinarily, I'd be hitting you over the head with all these exit polls and cross tabs and things that I know about people all the way down to what they like for lunch. We're not going to have anything until Monday. What's your gut? No, we're not. Well, my gut is that we shouldn't have had the election in the first place. The in-person election that should have been all mail ballots in. It should have been moved in the way that five other states have done it. It's the idea didn't have enough poll workers and what over a hundred and some polling places. So he was unequivocal. He was unequivocal. But prior to the blowback that the Wisconsin court received, he wasn't so unequivocal. He was pretty dodgy. If you ask me, I mean, you saw the video, decide for yourself. Now, this isn't the first time that we've gotten this sort of wishy-washy-ness from Joe Biden. And, you know, it's not the first time that they basically endorse the idea that voting in a global pandemic is OK. Because on March 17th, during Super Tuesday 3, when more states were voting, Simone Sanders went on CNN in an interview with Chris Cuomo and said, you know what, it's actually fine if they vote because we're listening to the experts. She did not call for a delay back then. Joe Biden did not call for a delay back then. This is what was said. CDC says no groupings bigger than 50. That's like every polling station, except in very small counties. The idea of delaying primaries. Senator Sanders seemed comfortable with that. We should listen to what the CDC says, delay the primaries if we have to. What are your concerns? Well, look, Chris, I want to be very clear. Democracy is extremely important. And in times of war, in times of strife, our country has always upheld the need to uphold our democracy. We have voted in more times. We have been votes were held many times in this country after again, times of strife. So the reality is that the CDC has, in fact, yes, issued guidance that has told people to keep their social distancing, not to gather in large crowds and governors across the country, particularly in the states that vote on Tuesday, Ohio, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, they have said that they feel comfortable and are confident that the elections will not only be safe, but that they can carry them out. And so I am looking to these governors, frankly, to abide by the CDC guidance. And if they say that they can administer this process, we believe them, frankly. So a number of early votes, so Chris, have already been cast. I was looking at some stuff today that said Florida's early vote numbers are tracking ahead of what they were in 2016. So I just encourage folks to use your voice.  Even in times of strife in this country, we have to do our duty. So the CDC and folks have said it's safe out there for Tuesday. So I, you know, I don't know what Senator Sanders was talking about, but I'll tell you, Governor DeWine said it was safe in Ohio. So I encourage people to get out there and vote on Tuesday. Simone Sanders, thank you very much. Appreciate your take. Thank you. Now, Joe Biden used that same exact talking point. He said we voted in times of war, right? But war is contagious like you can't catch war at the voting booth. So that's a meaningless platitude. Even in times of strife in this country, we have to do our duty. So that's his press spokesperson. Simone Sanders saying, I think voters should vote in a global pandemic. That's their duty. But now that it's unpopular, not so much. Now, when she made this recommendation, Bernie Sanders press spokesperson, Brianna Joy Gray, called this out because it's dangerous. On Twitter, she said, Simone Sanders just said on CNN with Chris Cuomo that the CDC said it's safe to vote on Tuesday. That's wrong. The only guidance we have so far is that we should not gather in groups of 50 people or more. I'm sure it's an honest mistake, but this is a public health crisis. Now, when she said that, when she called out Simone Sanders, she was attacked by centrist Democrats near attended, responded to that tweet saying, is the Sanders campaign telling people not to vote on Tuesday? Yeah, they were telling people they shouldn't vote. It should be delayed because guess what happened? After people voted, there were reports of people in Broward County contracting COVID-19. Now, I'm sure that you will be shocked to know that near attended has also since changed her position. She tweeted, Republicans are forcing voters to go to the polls tomorrow. Why? So they can win a state Supreme Court see that could tilt November's election. And she also retweeted Ben Wichler, who stated, if you think that this is what should be happening today, you're either uninformed about coronavirus, a nihilistic partisan or a Republican appointed justice of the Supreme Court of the United States or a combo. And she also retweeted a tweet from Patricia McKnight, where she thanks everyone for sharing the image of her holding a sign that says this is ridiculous. So my question is, Nira, are you suggesting that people shouldn't vote? I mean, do you understand there's there's zero consistency here? They move the goalpost and they never take responsibility for what they've done, the harm that they've caused and how many people contracted COVID-19 because they voted on Super Tuesday 3. How many people contracted COVID-19 or were exposed to it because they voted in Wisconsin? I mean, if there was some leadership from Joe Biden, in all reality, that wouldn't have changed the outcome because this decision was issued by a Republican controlled court and the US Supreme Court backed them up, right? But the Democratic governor, Tony Evers of Wisconsin, made the right call. I mean, it took him a little long, right? There was a lot of pressure on him, but he ultimately made the right call. But Joe Biden did not make the right call until after everyone else had already vocalized their disgust with the choice that the Wisconsin court made. So do you understand like this is why there's a trust deficit?   No, you weren't, though. And this is the problem. This is why we can't trust Joe Biden. This is why voters aren't enthusiastic to vote with him because he's a Johnny come lately when it comes to every issue. It's not just this. It's the crime bill. All of a sudden, the crime bill was bad and he's backing legislation that would undo the damage that his bill caused. All of a sudden, you know, the Iraq War was a bad war, even though he voted for it and advocated for it as a lawmaker. Do you understand like this is why there's so little trust which translates into a lack of enthusiasm for Joe Biden? It's why we told people he was a bad candidate to take on Donald Trump. But now it's too late. He will face off against Donald Trump barring some extreme circumstance where he is replaced at the convention, which is highly unlikely, I think. And yeah. So what we need to be pushing for is vote by mail. We've had it in Oregon for a very long time, and it has been very successful. Now this is a battle that we will have to have with Republicans because Donald Trump was very explicit in condemning vote by mail. I think he called it corrupt. He said it's bad for Republicans. Too bad. You see, this kind of their mask off, they're saying the quiet part out loud. They're not supposed to admit that all of the voter suppression tactics was actually meant to suppress the vote.  Like, well, we don't implement these voter ID laws because we want to stop black and brown people from voting. We institute these types of policies because, you know, we're trying to stop voter fraud, which is so widespread. So it's just it's a really frustrating situation. These are the most important times where Americans are looking for a leader. And Joe Biden has failed unquestionably when it comes to leadership here.


Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali. Today I'm going to teach you how to get this waved hair look. One day I was being super experimental and I pulled out this waiver that I had for like a year or so that I totally forgot about and I went ahead and waved my hair. Later that day I posted an Instagram story and I personally thought I looked like a poodle but so many of y'all asked me how to get this look so I thought I'd make a video explaining the steps and showing you the specific tool that I used for this look. So let's get started. So this is the tool I use. This is the Revlon waiver. I'm not quite sure how much this is because I bought it like a year ago and totally forgot about it but it was very cheap probably like around 30 or under. I will have the price on the screen right here as well as a link to this specific tool in the description of this video so y'all can check it out for yourself. Overall this process definitely takes me longer than just curling my hair and definitely straightening my hair. This isn't my natural hair. This is actually a day after I used this tool um so my natural hair is like almost straight and especially because I have longer hair it takes me longer to kind of get down like the hair strands so if you have short hair probably won't take you too long but also I just started doing this so it could get faster with practice. One more thing I will say is that you have to finish the whole head to like actually see like oh it doesn't look too bad because like when you're going you're like uh this is like some Lizzie McQuire like actually crimped hair or like 90s like super like zigzag hair it just I don't know sometimes it doesn't really look good when you're in the middle of it but trust me by the time you get to the bangs and the front it will all come together. The first thing I'm going to do is separate my hair so I'm just going to take the top and clip it up. Now that we have the bottom layer down and this waiver tool heated up we can go ahead and start. This is going to be a little hard because I have like a mirror behind the camera. I can't really see my hair but it's going to be okay we're going to try it. All right so I honestly take like quite a big piece I would say just because I feel like this flattens it out and then a lot of hair can be waved at the same time so I'm trying to make it more efficient but you know sometimes it doesn't work out and then I have to do it over again. You can kind of just feel it out for your own needs. So recently what I've been doing is kind of like taking the outer bumps and starting with that instead of this if that makes sense. I don't know why but I think that looks better so I don't know I'm just kind of showing you guys what I do I don't really have much explanation to it. You're going to hold it for about six to ten seconds and then you're just going to move it down where that other bump was. So when you get to the end make sure that the whole end is in the waiver. I don't really like to leave a loose end. Again you kind of just have to like practice to see what looks best on you. So this is the final wave as you can see it's a little bit more defined than what I brushed out. I'm going to do the whole bottom layer and make sure this side is facing out and on this side as well it's going to be facing out this way and then I'll come back on here and talk to y'all about the top of my head. I'm done with the bottom of my hair and now it is time to tackle the top and this is probably the hardest part just because this is what's being shown the most especially when you get on the top of your head you don't want any crazy creases so I'm going to show you how to get rid of those and make it as seamless as possible and make it look like natural you know. So I'm still going to keep the waiver on the outside and I'm just going to go ahead and go as high as I can and then just crimp it or wave it. I guess there's a difference there. I honestly wish this waiver was like a little bit bigger like the wave was a little bit bigger. I think it would look so pretty. I wonder if they have like a bigger waiver but honestly I think this waiver is a bit uncomfortable to hold and it's just like very chunky and my hand's kind of hurt after using it so just beware you know it's a lot of work. This is going to be where it looks a little odd because you're going to see a big crease like right there and it's just not going to look the best but it's okay because we will straighten that right out so start as high as you can and it's totally fine if it's like diagonal a little bit because that's how I did it the last time. Now we have a half of the head done and you can always fix it up if you see like that there's like a little stray hair you can always just redo it and then obviously I'm going to straighten all that crease stuff on the top of my head because that does not look very cute and I'm just going to straighten it down a little bit so that the waves kind of start like here-ish. I'm going to do the other half of my head and then we'll get started on straightening it. So I finally completed waving my whole head and now it is time to straighten out the creases up here. I don't know if you can like see it but it's pretty bad so we want to straighten those out just a tiny bit to make it look a little bit more natural and just like I don't know not too creasy. I'm going in with my favorite straightener in the world. This is the Babilis Straightener Pro and I absolutely love this straightener. I use this in high school and then it got like a mall straightener and it was just not anywhere as good as this straightener so I highly recommend this one and I think it's heated up so I think we're just going to go in. Just kind of smooth out that top crease. That looks like a hundred times better already. And try not to brush through the waves because it's going to start to look like very frizzy if you do that so try to not touch your hair as much as possible throughout the day. So as you can tell this side is like before with all the creases and the side is like after. Pretty good. So this is the completed hair look. This is how I wave my hair. It honestly does look a little bit more crimped than waved but it kind of looks like I like braided my hair overnight and let it out which would have been a lot easier but it's whatever. I think this whole process took me about 30 minutes or a little over it. You can also use any kind of product after you do it to hold it together. I might hairspray it a little bit and maybe put some argan oil in it. Normally I don't put hairspray in my hair but I'm just worried it's going to get a little frizzy. But I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I will see you in my next one. Bye!


How you can get your videos to the front page of YouTube search results for popular phrases like Amazon buys Twitch. Which is true. My video last night got to the front page minutes after publishing for the search Amazon buys Twitch by doing three simple things that you can do for your videos to get to the front page as well. Number one, pick a phrase that people are searching for. Do that by typing in the phrase in the search box and watch the YouTube suggested phrases. If you start typing Amazon space bot, then you'll see the phrase Amazon buys Twitch. So I chose that for the title of my video because it's a trending search term. Then I started my video description with Amazon buys Twitch. And in the tags, my first tags were Amazon buys Twitch. If you do that in addition to similar phrases like Amazon acquires Twitch, then you will get into the top of the YouTube search page for a little while. Do you see that new tag? That means for 48 hours, I am getting a boost in my search position because YouTube doesn't yet know whether my video is relevant. Now, if I get a lot of views during that 48 hours, more than other videos in that same 48 hours, then YouTube will keep my video on the search results front page for the phrase Amazon buys Twitch. And that's why my video is now the default playing video on the freedom central channel because I want it to get more views, but it also needs to get watch time. YouTube looks at not just view count, but how many minutes watched you get.  I'm out of here. Then your video will get penalized because you get low watch time. So the three things you need to do are start your title with the phrase you want. That's a trending search.  So you get high watch time. A few days ago, Zesty Mike created a video that gave you exactly these same tips. Here is the video. Click here to watch it so you can see how Mike explains in his own words, how this process works. And I hope you enjoy his video as well as mine. Does this tip help you? Tell me in the comments below.

Hello everybody and welcome back to an interesting episode of Jurassic World Evolution where today oh do we have something special for you this is actually I don't even know what this one is I think it's Isla Takano research facility it's something like that basically the one with you know Henry Wu he gets you to do the bloody annoying thing and get you to kill everything and it's a really tiny space what we've done a lot on this channel we've had a lot of battle royales what else could we do what we have done all the time is the land I mean here you can see not much now we've seen trees before we've seen this earth stuff we don't want to see any more of that no no no no no what we want to see more of something different something unique thanks to a couple of mods um they came out recently um there is a map expansion and not only is there a map expansion um there is terrain tools that can help out with that too so not not only are you restricted to um like the the map restraints but you're also not restrained to um how steep a slope of or an angle can be of a of an area so if you look here when I place these down because this is technically a rock and I think that both rocks actually but when I place it down it smoothed it all out I'll show you what I mean uh apparently not there is still building constraints oh but you'll do it there will you oh you'll do it I can't can't build this amazing little flap but you may no no gonna place it there uh once you place down a building it uh it does this like um thing that drastic world evolution would normally do that's as steep as a slope can get um and we could probably add some other things to this like I said that log which also affects the steepen of course the slowness so let's say we want to add some things around it you know make it look a little bit different but we can't actually make it a steep drop off however of course with these new amazing things we can just go to the flatten and then bring it all the way in so when we look out now look at this this is so cool except for that weird floating thing with these leaves and stuff it looks like they've built around it that looks sweet everything is underwater um why would that be James why would everything be underwater wait there's also a dinosaur out there oh it's so exciting before we go any further I want to say a big thank you to the Toho society who are the ones who created and allowed us to be able to expand out from our island so now all of this that you can see here is expandable and buildable into which of course you wouldn't even be able to build into uh the water which is quite you know which we can now do and I also want to give another shout out to holla queens ego egg zero who uh made these amazing terrain tools so if you click on it not only do you have an intensity in radius but you also have a slope so if we put the um the radius down and we put the intensity up and we do I don't know a slope we can get like just a super big well very inclined thing like a car so we're working with our first ever aquatic battle once this like the expanded maps came out the uh the train tools came out people are now making aquatic creatures because there was no point before to make these aquatic creatures and the one we are going to showcase today is the Jurassic World Mosasaurus created by J. I. I. E. I. Or just over and the idea was made or given or thought up by um sweetener and uploaded by put it all seven seven seven it's not the first time we've heard of potato before so here it is the Mosasaurus so I was kind of struggling as to what kind of height we should make this I didn't want to make it uh too deep and I didn't want to make it um too too shallow either I wanted to have this um just a nice kind of I don't know in between the thing is right with this with the way the game is the moment if you go under the water it looks like nothing's there which sucks if you're all the way you can barely see any water but if you're just on the line that looks cool and this is an agricultural this looks so sweet and lends itself so well it's a shame like the walking animations are still there um but we are doing Spongebob physics here as well because we have water underwater which is interesting because they can't actually drink from this because it doesn't actually think of this as water so we are now going to release 50 Mosasaurus versus on the other side 50 Indominus Rex recreating the final battle that was from Jurassic World and you can barely see it there there's Indominus Rex uh you can see what level I started and when I've made a mistake because he wants to see a battle when it looks like that or when it looks like that because it's kind of the same so hopefully this Indominus Rex should run up and then come out of the water here we go here we go and yeah now that looks sweet now we've got like what could happen you know Mosasaurus you know maybe it's it's a little bit too deep the Indominus Rex they can find each other you'll also see if we just scroll up and down that they've all got different skins and they've all got different um uh attack and defense stats so here we are with Mosasaurus actually in Jurassic World evolution i love it i freaking love it this is so cool man this is so cool to think all those years ago when we were hoping oh i say years i guess it has been years and three years now well two and a bit years um where we have just been waiting waiting and praying that we will eventually get an aquatic update what would you eat what would you call this or come into existence uh because of the amazing modern community this is so cool oh man and you know i always speculated that when we were going to see oh god look at all look at all the Mosasaur over here oh it's pretty they're even sleeping when when uh talk was uh thrown about about um the aquatic DLC being a possibility i always thought that there was a high chance that it was just going to be a self-contained thing like like a viewing area and we plop it down and that would be the Mosasaur um and something like this would just not happen i really didn't think something like this would happen gosh darn it the modern community just kept at it they were like we will code the heck out of this game and we will more Mosasaurus is way bigger than Indominus Rex oh wow so yeah i know what you're thinking why are you even bothering me doing this James Indominus Rex is stronger in the game or why are you doing this James Mosasaur is way better than Indominus you see it killed it in the movie well i've made sure to try and make them kind of accurate i haven't put any op Indominus Rex's in i've i've i've want to make this as ran i have no idea what this is going to be if i was a betting man i would probably guess Indominus Rex just because you know it's Indominus Rex and it's won a few i think in the past of these battles um but i have no idea what i'm waiting for is for a lot of them what i should have done is just put one water source and feeding thing in the middle that's what i should have done oh that'd be cool they could also go on to the island if they want to um i was thinking about fencing that off but you know what if a mosasaur wants to grow legs and go on to the island i'm completely happy with that i like how we have so many alphas of the uh of the mosasaur's yeah with Indominus Rex there ain't no alpha there ain't no team work going on here they want to kill each other look at that that's so cool i love that we were all like some friggin planet zoo level-esque um landscaping here oh wait oh wait no we've we've got a few over here we've got some mixing we've got some mixing so right now they won't attack each other because i just wanted to see these guys sort of i don't know we're like living together for a second and just sort of check out the mosasaur so this seems to be the only mosasaurus skin that's been made um maybe even that one but is this one i've definitely seen that on an acrocanthosaurus before hundred percent oh that's so cool we got the mosasaur starting to mix with the indominus rexes you would think that the mosasaur would win look how big that bleeding head is size of a bus okay it seems to be working it is drawing them in close and close proximity with each other all right guys i think this has to be it who will win 50 mosasaurus or 50 indominus rex let's go all right all right here we go this is it from now on they're gonna start killing each other i think you know the the indominus rex might lose because even if there's one indominus rex left or two indominus rex left they'll kill each other where's the acrocanthosaurus i don't think we'll oh who's the first ones to fight who is it oh oh they bend down i forget about that oh that looks so sweet though hold on oh this is apparently as low as i can get indominus rex with the rematch you see when mosasaur took on indominus rex oh it looks like this one's gonna win this mosasaurus kill i get him twice indominus rex hasn't been it was you see when mosasaur took out indominus rex indominus rex was already beaten up it was already taken on rexie blue all the other raptors but oh wow maybe they're close we've got another fight going on over here oh is mosasaur dead what no way oh my god i did not see that coming i didn't wait that's it that's our first death i did not see the mosasaur being killed by indominus rex oh there you go mosasaur killed indominus rex oh it's it's it's it's it's it's all random guys it's all look at all of them this fight's going on everywhere i think that's is that a kill i can't get over the quick enough no one think he's eating that one's what's going on over here we got five plus dead bodies we got we got a mosasaur and indominus rex here is that one sleep is that one dead no that one's asleep okay oh oh mosasaur killed and indominus rex there this is close man this is close oh it seems to be the mosasaur are killing more indominus rexes than anything else you're gonna get him oh there it is mosasaur going for the head and there it is that looks so cool wow okay maybe it was wrong oh oh oh but thank oh thank goes a mosasaur maybe if there's some good indominus rexes maybe they're the ones winning we got another fight here oh it's close it's close are you the good one because i've seen i think i've seen you win right we got one two dead indominus rexes there oh you're having a nap okay we still got a battle going on here oh they're calling it quits these two must be really close a really close match up looks like the mosasaur won that one because the indominus rex is actually running away and um a fair amount of cannibalism going on here oh wow one two two more two more dead indominus rexes over there what what have we got going on over here look at this looks so cool this looks sweet oh man unfortunately we could have had some sort of flipping dlc there was the aquatic that would have been so cool look at this i mean yeah the physics the water physics are the splashes and everything isn't there but who cares this looks amazing oh god oh oh oh another indominus rex going down i thought indominus rex was gonna win mosal nah nah it's all about the mosasaur how about this fight how about this fight oh oh is that one gonna win though yep that's a win for the indominus rex but you're in the way you're in the way stupid mosa comes up from by the end down it goes oh so far no acros or sorry no mosas fighting with themselves or indominus rexes fighting with themselves because you turned their comfort off now it's beaver indominus rex does have the superior regeneration and they know that defeat for the indominus mosa going for the head there indominus tries it and takes down wow this is so cool this is what i wanted this is what we'd be waiting for god thank you so much everyone who's modded and made all of this possible oh no the indominus rex goes down over them will it be the same over here though oh i don't know oh oh is that the mosa dead it might be oh it's not it's not like calling it off and it looks like indominus rex won this one oh look at the eyes of the mosa there yeah indominus rex won oh oh oh this is interesting oh look at that they're hugging each other all right i don't know how many how many deaths we got how many dinosaurs do we have left we had a hundred and now we've only got 62 we've lost 38 dinosaurs so far we got another mosa oh another mosa killing an indominus rex there what the uh the statistics are because it seems like every time i go to a battle it's another oh never mind another indominus rex going down however this guy oh 53 percent could be a good one that could be a good one well we got we got another oh we got another mosa versus indominus rex here don't forget guys tomorrow we will be live streaming camp gradation season two or like a watch party we'll be live streaming of course because that's illegal we'll be doing a watch party where i watch it i put up the timestamp to where i am and you can watch it with me if you want or you can just be a crazy person and watch it with nothing else on i'm really surprised we still have indominus rex is to fight here it seems like they are not doing too well at all another one here oh is that another indominus rex down no however we got a hundred percent here acrocanthosaurus and a 17 percent indominus rex it does not look good for him one of the stats here 196 attack 62 defense 180 and 92 oh yeah that mosas way better oh wow it was completely random completely random however there what there is one mosas over where i put on like the best stats that i could thinking that oh that would be you know that'll be the stand out maybe all of the mosas will die but this one will stand but uh no it appears that uh the mosas are having the last laugh when it comes to this Jurassic world had it right whether or not rex he even took on uh indominus rex oh saying that though this guy whoa this indominus rex has got a hundred percent health and has killed a mosasaur i don't know man i don't know what's this stat 191 126 whoa oh maybe this is the stand out indominus rex good lord mosasaws took an early lead before nine percent against 15 percent is this going to be another hit look at the seaweed there at the bottom gotta gotta thank frontier for adding seaweed into the game i don't know if mosas might have another attack left in it if it does oh it doesn't and mosasaw gets the kill for this one damn the camera just really doesn't want to go any lower okay we're gonna have to see from here they are more submerged these two really gonna struggle with the thumbnail for this one there's gonna have to be a lot of photoshop to make it look realistic well i've changed so far you're enjoying editing this one it's for the video i will kill you well we got here a hundred percent acrocanthosaurus or sorry mosa 170 and 79 against a 137 58 so the indominus rex is highly outclassed here however it did get a bite in probably before it bites the dust and is on zero always on 18 percent maybe it will get another hit in oh i don't know another indo indominus rex and acrocanthosaurus still yet to see a fight between the same species um they want to they want to settle this grudge match first love this is a different skin for an indominus rex this was a mod i can't remember who made that but um you did good oh we got another indominus rex being taken down oh i don't know now there's definitely gonna be a lot of mosa cells left and indominus rex likes to fight against a 1 percent whoa that deals too long here it comes here it comes and takes down the indominus rex oh wow how many does he run 60 odd 39 left and i hazard i guess that okay how many indominus rex can we see uh one one indominus rex uh two three three indominus rex i see three indominus rex out of 37 so that means there is 34 uh mosa cells still running about but the three indominus rex isn't going to be the survival of the fittest even though there is only three left 100 percent and an 83 percent whoa maybe these indominus rex are actually gonna make the difference here maybe the mosa cells will actually attack each other i don't know i don't know what we need to do is put down that comfort a little bit more but i kind of like the grudge match i like the grudge match the indominus rexes might have just ended up killing each other although these guys 68 percent on this guy 73 on this mosa soul so even if the indominus rex is better it is whittling it down oh one of the last three then it doesn't look like it's going too well for the indominus rex over here 73 percent on an alpha agro couple source at least it was don't know what happened to it it's not an alpha anymore did the other one die and that is a a third of the remaining population of indominus rex bites the dust there you go taking down only two remaining is it going to be the end of indominus rex i really don't know let's there's one this is the one dude uh oh we have another one we have two do they have the same attack stats they do oh okay i might have got a little bit laser maybe made a few of the same but it's still random but we still have a whole entire ocean of mosasaurus for them to wade through um the indominus rex are constantly attacking this one's on a hundred percent picking a fight with a most so with a hundred percent so the indominus rex have a lot of battles to get through and they have a lot of regeneration to do as well this one on eighty eighty seven percent there um oh 63 27 percent can the most so at least get one hit off or is it going to be good night no it gets a hit off it gets it takes it down to 75 percent that's where we might see a change because if these indominus rexes which they will do constantly fight each other um they won't allow themselves to regenerate however this one's actually being a big brain about it and is walking away from the fight don't know why um i can only hazard a guess because the mosasaurus are uh the mosasaurus are coming after it look at that one flying growing like she's not having it oh decides to pick a fight on the mountain side not letting it gain all of its health back or is it a different one it might be a different one oh that one was going for food never mind it looks like let's pick the fight with one of these maybe oh it's this one it's the alpha indominus rex has what 97 percent health 98 the two percent can it make a difference oh straight to 63 we're gonna fight yeah this is the fight but did the other indominus rex win i think it might have i'd be very surprised yep 78 it did kill it oh it's already been hit 73 percent now oh it got hit again the two percent might be making the difference oh no goes for another bite 27 against 49 percent this indominus rex should do it oh oh i don't know oh there it is it won it but it is on 49 percent if it gets into another battle now it could be lights out it really needs a time to regenerate if it does not get that time it's done oh wait oh no we did help one my bad um and it was starving and it is now died another 196 health so maybe it wasn't the best indominus rex but it could have it could have made a difference maybe so now indominus rex has 50 health not too bad the other one is 88 now the two percent health difference did make a big difference so whether or not uh we'll see this indominus rex already get into a fight and looks like the mosasaur's there is no chill for these mosas already uh hunting down look at them they're all coming over and all this other mode this other indominus rex has already got a few just lingering around waiting for this battle to happen i gotta admit there's only two indominus rexes and 21 mosasaur's left um i i would be very surprised if these two indominus rexes can kill 21 mosas 96 for this one it looks like it's getting into a fight 97 is it gonna be 98 when it starts the fight 98 when it starts the fight this one is on 100 it does have a 180 attack and 92 whereas this guy has 191 and 126 so it's not too crazy the difference it does seem like there's a few that have the same actually or at least they're very close 49 taking oh oh i don't know i don't like the looks of this when did this indominus rex go where did he run off to he's over here with 65 percent he really needs more health it looks like we're seeing a repeat of the same battle 27 and 49 taking it down to 1 percent there you go another kill this indominus rex has killed how many five make that six mosasaur's um this mosasaur itself didn't oh it killed two indominus rexes but the third was not the magic number there you have it taking its infamy from 1200 to 1600 oh look who's getting in with the highest oh where's indominus rex oh no did it run back in oh it ran back in it's starting to fight and it's on 72 percent no this guy's on 100 oh this could be it's almost like it's been hit already 74 percent is about one hit from a mosa gets the first hit off but still doesn't have as much health as the mosasaur 76 versus 74 this could be it this could be it a telltale sign of things to go 46 they might even call it off it's going to be a close one the second bite 52 oh indominus rex is running out of steam oh i don't know i don't think i don't think they're gonna kill each other i don't think that's going to be the case this indominus rex taking a quick uh sneaky little map there but nope straight back up gonna get the 60 percent oh he's getting up because this mosasaur might have decided he wants some he wants some i give it yeah oh the mosa on low health the mouse sorry the indominus rex is taking out a 50 v 50 mosasaur versus indominus rex grudge match and there was only one indominus rex left oh oh look at that that's nice they're like wow that is so good and entertaining i grabbed me popcorn okay so he did win this battle or has he been woken up 66 percent oh this could be it this could be the final showdown it's up wait i have what's health it's not 66 percent hopefully the indominus rex has um has this oh oh oh what's going on what is up what was his idea it was like oh i was gonna say 66 percent battle is not good enough hopefully he's picked a battle with a low uh health or low stat mosa but fortune could be favoring it actually because it looks like um they're too close to each other oh they finally start the battle that is given indominus rex so much extra health 73 percent up to 77 this could be it guys this could be it oh they hit coming through from the mosa oh look there's the last one dead swimming with the fishes look at those big eyes it looked like the indominus rex did a roll there but uh it was weirdly delayed is it because i'm not far away i think it might be because of the far away i can't get any lower i wish i could bring the camera lower this is the best shot i can get oh oh another hit is mosa gonna retaliate or is it gonna be oh is that it for the doors rex or can you take one more hit oh it's close it's really close are they gonna call it quits oh i don't know i don't know this is it the final circle i think whoever gets the first bite off here is gonna decide it and it's the mosa there you have it indominus rex taking out the grudge match with full health just couldn't do it couldn't do it you know what carlin trevorrow had it right even when a mosa so has full health takes him out that's one of his famous sayings i remember it fondly there it is a full on a first ever aquatic massive uh battle arena wait another one stopped to death what's going on i never realized that maybe it wasn't the last one maybe he just popped now so in the end 50 mosa versus 50 indominus rex 19 mosasaurus with random stats managed to win so there you have it guys our first ever battle arena aquatic version how was it did you enjoy it hopefully there'll be even more mods for the future um adding more aquatic creatures i would love to see alasmasaurus or you know dunca last years that would be so cool and even now that we can add dinosaurs at you know they're as themselves maybe we can just have you know an aquatic pack that you just copy and paste into your game and there you go voila legit new dinosaurs and basically new uh dlc because it's been over a year since we've received uh any update from Jurassic world or frontier and um this is really going to tide us over because it's going to be probably another year before we get another Jurassic world title isn't a VR game with some little spin-off thing but anyway guys if you enjoyed that video leave a like and until next time i'll see you later oh buh-bye


So this presentation is from RIPE NCC. It has a lot of details on all these other tools RIPE NCC has been producing. But the one I'm going to talk about is RIPE Atlas. I should point out that I don't actually work for RIPE NCC. I don't even live in the RIPE service region. But I will greatly accept their slide. RIPE NCC is one of the five regional registries. Regional registries assign internet resources to entities in their service regions. There are five of those. RIPE NCC service region is Europe, the Middle East, and Russia. Other service regions are ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, and AFRINIC. If you're in India, APNIC is the one you're most likely to be interested in. APNIC is the Asia Pacific Network Information Center. So if you have a network, a real network, not a home network, you need an autonomous system number and you need some IP address space. The people you get this from are human regional internet registry. Usually, you don't get them from the regional registry directly. You get them from a local internet registry. And it's the usual computer science tree with the roots at the top and the stem at the bottom. The RIPE NCC is a not-for-profit membership association that debates in Amsterdam. In addition to assigning internet resources, they also make some tools. One of these tools is the RIPE Atlas tool. I actually have an Atlas here with me and it bends in neatly in the background. It's not very big. The RIPE Atlas is a global network of probes. This is a probe. It's not a global network, which actively measure internet connectivity and reachability from different parts of the planet. The time these slides were written, which I don't actually know, they reached my mailbox a couple of months ago. The RIPE Atlas system was collecting just shy of 10,000 results per second, which is a reasonable number of results to collect. And these results allow the Atlas system and its users to understand the state of the internet in real time. The way this works is that volunteers host a probe in their network. And the more probes we have around the world, the better the Atlas system will be at measuring the state of the internet from anywhere to anywhere. The point of the internet is end-to-end connectivity. So the more probes you have, the denser network of probes, you have the better quality or the more valuable the results will be. If you've only got a probe in deeply organized areas, then you're only going to be able to measure those paths. It's very useful or a lot more useful to have probes in more distant parts of the world.  And we get volunteers to host them in their part of the world. Most of these probes are in Europe, as you can see from this map on the screen. That's just because that's where they were born. And several people have been distributing them around the world. The system subscribes to the gamification theory of modern internet technology. You earn credits for hosting a probe. You expend credits to perform measurements. So let's talk about these measurements. Your measurements can be a different type of measurement. You can do a ping measurement, which measures latency on the internet. You can do a trace route, which shows the path your packets take around the internet. You can measure DNS, TLS, HTTP, several different kinds of things. You can also set up alarms that will work with your own monitoring tools. So if you're running a service on the internet, say a web page or a chat system or some app or what have you, and you want to know how well the service performs from different parts of the world, you can use the Atlas network to keep an eye on your service. Say, I'm hosting this app or I'm hosting this web page. It's sitting on a server somewhere in Germany. And most of my users are in India. I would like to know what's the performance of this server or how reachable is the server from India? Can users from India even reach my server? Can they resolve its DNS? And you set up a right Atlas measurements to check from all the probes that are hosted in India to go and connect to your server in Germany. And the right Atlas system will tell you, right, latency is several dozen milliseconds. The trace routes, for some reason, goes to Singapore before going to Germany. And the DNS is full of errors. And you can put all of these details. You can put in your own measurement in your own monitoring system. And it will scream at you when things change. That's very useful. You can also test IBV6 connectivity because that's obviously the future of the internet. The probes themselves, I briefly talk about, they're very small. They're a couple of cubic centimeters these days. The older probes were a bit bigger. Currently, there's more than 10,000 of these things out there. And under ordinary circumstances, I would offer to throw them at you in the audience upon extracting a promise from you that you will plug it in and take care of it and actually host it. The current generation of probes is built around a nanopie with a bunch of memory. And I think they've all run out. Leah's just disappeared from the call. But also we're not actually going to do events anymore. So I can't give you a physical probe, but I'll come to software probes in a moment. Another potential way to participate in Atlas, if you have a large network, I'd say a data center, you could offer to host a naturalist anchor. This is a rack-mountable thing. And there's about 600 of those. And 100 of those are virtual machines. But I think those are no longer quite as relevant because the world is moving to software probes, which I'll get to. But the goal of the Atlas system is to get as many probes and as many ASNs as many autonomous systems. So as many ISPs as possible in as many countries as possible. India is currently reasonably well-represented in the Atlas system in terms of absolute number of probes, but in terms of population and in terms of number of networks, it's actually still fairly underrepresented. As I said earlier, better coverage means a better understanding of the state of the internet. The more probes we have on the more diverse set of networks, the better the end-to-end measurements are. There's, you know, we have plenty of coverage from, say, the US to Europe. We know just about every path from just about every meaningful ISP in the US to just about every network in Europe, but from a rural network in South Sudan to a rural network in Papua New Guinea, the coverage is not so great. Whether measuring such routes is meaningful or not, you know, it's open to interpretation, but for the, you know, you can't judge people on their measurements. So we want to make every kind of measurement possible. So in order to make it possible to continue to deploy probes, even without us traveling and also in places where we could never travel in the first place, there's also software probes. Unfortunately, these only run on Linux. So if you are running previously, you need to serve a virtual machine. It's all a bit fachy, but it can be done. And basically this brings the right Atlas probe into much wider potential deployment. If you have a machine somewhere which can run a Linux virtual machine, or if someone finally gets a number of round two it's together to port the thing to run natively on any previous machine, you can run the right Atlas probe. So if you've got a machine somewhere with space for a VM, you can spin up a virtual machine and install the right Atlas probe on it. And you can have a probe just as if you were in an event and someone threw a physical probe at you. So that's actually me out of slides. There's a bunch more slides in this presentation about other tools the right as you see folks have. I'll stop sharing the slides. But that was the end of the presentation. I think it's more fun if we actually go into some real live demo of how this thing works. So I will try to find the web browser window. If anyone has questions, you can shout them at me while I look for a web browser. Yeah, sure. If anybody has questions, feel free to unmute while... It's over. If you're feeling like you've been hit by a machine gun, can I share this window? I probably can. Share, screen, click, click. Okay. And I have to find the window. There we go. Right. So this is the right Atlas. Welcome to right Atlas. I've helpfully logged in and I have a little link to my Atlas and I can poke at measurements because measurements are nice. So if I wanted to... Well, these are all the measurements that are currently ongoing. Someone is doing all of these, all of these tests live in the system. That's all great fun. But let's try to create a measurement. Let's try to... For just for fun, let's do a ping measurement because it's the first one in the list. The target of this measurement, let's take my machine here, which machine shall I go for? Let's take the machine that's sitting in the room next to me, which is called Truth Ferry. So you give it the target of your tests. This one is a host name. You can take an IP address in there. You can take a host name in there. Doesn't really matter. I'm interested in IPv6 because I like IPv6. I'd like to run this test every 240 seconds. So it's just the defaults. But actually I'm going to configure it to just run it once because I'm not interested in this test more often. So I'll send... Well, actually I'll send 10 packets of 64 bytes because I like nice round numbers. Where would I like to ping from? Well, I don't want to ping from worldwide. I'm actually only interested in India. And let's use a wizard because we like wizards. And where is India again? It's over here now. India is over here. So I just give me all the probes in India. I can do this. There we go. I think I've selected a little bit more than India. Let's go for greater India, shall we? That's the kick-tie of India for life. Right. So all of these probes in India and other Indias are going to run a one-off measurements and just run it right now. Create my measurements. Yes, yes, yes. Now let's look at my measurements. So it's instant gratification as things should go. So it's now running. Click, click, click, click, click. So let's look at my measurements. And of course the demo effect is real. If I click the measurement, nothing is going to happen. Yeah, I've made it invisible. Okay, I'm not very smart. That was not to show me the measurements. That was high by measurement. I have now lost my measurements. Clear my filter. There we go. It's still running. Well, I could see it in real life. But this is going to run my measurement and eventually it's going to return results. So instead of waiting for this, let's look at the previous measurements, which might actually work. Okay, it doesn't want to work. I don't know why this doesn't work. It doesn't work because it's a demo. But things never work when you're doing a demo. So I'll stop sharing this screen and listen for questions while I try to debug in private. Right, sorry about that.  Nemo has a question. Yeah, Nemo has a question. I'm here hanging out on YouTube, which is, is there a way, is there an easy way to get probes on cellular networks? Most of India connects via 3G, 4G networks now. That's two questions. Is there a way? Yes, is there an easy way? No. Swapnil, a couple of days ago, showed me a way to do this. And I'm going to put up his webpage if I could find it again. Yes, there we go. I can do that. And I can share this screen. If I can find the appropriate button again. There we go. Here's the button. There we go. Swapnil would have showed you this webpage. So he has managed to make a right pathless probe connects to a geo widget. So he's got the same little black gadgets I have. He bought a little rotary thing, a GL MyFi gadgets connected the whole thing together. And that's how he runs measurements locally. The thing to be aware of is that many of these mobile networks, you end up paying for bits and the right pathless measurements, you consume bits.   So I think Swapnil does a prepaid thing and every now and again, he goes out and gets a two gigabytes or five gigabytes top up for the SIM card he's using and that works. So you can hack something together. You could, you know, that's with a physical probe. You could presumably also hook up a software probe to the same kind of gadgetry, but it just becomes a lot less portable.  Does that answer your question? Yeah, I suppose so, but let's see if Nemo has anything more to ask. Trouble usually have a demo, right? Sure. Yeah, it's not working because it's a demo. If I click the button, the button says no. Well, the button doesn't say no. The button just doesn't do anything. So it's still running. Well, it claims to be running my tests, but it's, or my measurements, but the results are not visible and the results of all my previous measurements aren't visible either. So one of the faces in this call mentioned that they have been doing some measurements for a while. Maybe their measurements work better than mine. I think that was Gurschen Butz who said he had some measurements. Hi. Yeah. I mean, at CS we've also been running the Atlas probe for a while. So if anyone's watching and wondering if this requires too much work, I've only received two emails regarding that in two years. So it's not a lot of work. And what you get out of it is a lot. As Trouble was saying, you can do things for yourself maybe and there are blog posts on the website that talk about these things, just network connectivity in general. And you can, to me, Atlas is very customizable. You can run tests repeatedly. And therefore, I mean, check whether your ISP is blocking a particular website that you can connect to it. You can catch your ISP doing other shady stuff, including like throttling connections to a particular websites, et cetera. And as a researcher at, so I work at the Center for Internet and Society and we've been also doing some work on network measurements and measuring web censorship in India, which I'll come to in a bit. But these measurements are awfully useful for research as well. So on using the data, you can detect internet outages which may be intentional or otherwise. Routing the subs that keep happening regularly. And just generally because internet traffic has all gone up because they're all stuck at home using the internet for everything. So I guess there are some insights to be drawn there about whether there's more congestion network delays, et cetera. And you can find great examples at the RIPE Atlas website. And what I'd also like to talk a bit about is the larger landscape of measurement tools. So you have the RIPE Atlas which does a variety of measurements. I think it's capable of doing the maximum number of measurements out of the landscape, but there are specific tools for certain things. So you may have heard of the open observatory for network interference, UNI, which is perhaps a go-to tool for measuring web censorship. So it tries to connect to particular websites that may be blocked in your country and their data set is also open and that is available as a mobile app and desktop tool as a CLI tool, et cetera. And similarly, there's the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis, which is Kaida and that's primarily aimed at measuring internet shutdowns and outages. And just before this talk on the event page, I saw a very interesting comment from Zainab which is about a blog post Kiran had written, I think around two years ago. And it says that I think Kiran and others wanted to build a censorship detection service software for India. And I think that comment spoke to two things. One is about accessibility, which is a concern Nemu has already raised. Like since most of internet users in India are mobile phone users, how do we get these tools in their hands and get more measurements from areas that we haven't seen? So for example, in any such tool, I've seen that representation from smaller towns or villages in India is abysmally low and where mobile phones are largely more popular. And the second thing which Kiran's comment spoke to was about how measurements can be used to make arguments that extend to the legal and policy world. And that specific comment was about net neutrality. So in fact, you can use the right parallel tools. You can use uni et cetera to find out whether your ISPs violating net neutrality. And this is a point that also is made by Fenmick McKelvie in his book, Internet Demons, where I think he's also calling for more network measurements to make these policy and legal cases. And this is something we've been also doing at CIS and recently we've launched SensorWatch, which is available as a mobile app and it's on the Play Store and you can download, it has an APK et cetera. And what we're trying to do is run measurements from mobile devices and they try to connect to a list of websites that are potentially blocked in India. And what we've seen in the recent past is that different internet service providers in India are blocking entirely, widely different websites. While they're only supposed to block websites when the government tells them to, they're blocking websites arbitrarily out of their own volition and sometimes it's not clear why, are they not complying with orders properly or is there something more sinister going on as in they want to block certain services because of business reasons et cetera. And really, and I mean, some of you, including I know some people from Hasgeek who are involved in the fight for net neutrality in India, which legally one may think that we have one, but how do we ensure that the laws are complied with? And this is a monitoring problem and this is squarely where such network measurements come in because in our recent tests we found if they're blocking widely different websites, then net neutrality is being violated currently in India. So therefore, even if you have it in law, you do not have it in practice. And by running these variety of measurement tools and I also encourage you to of course, check out sensor watch which we at CIS have released recently and you can help us sort of monitor net neutrality violations, web censorship in India and possibly make a case for the telecom regulatory authority or et cetera to start monitoring on net neutrality violations and otherwise. Thanks, thank you so much for this. I think Trubble's got his demo also working. So this is- Well, I haven't got the demo. I wanted to do working because web pages are evil and never work what you wanted to do. But Ripe Atlas also has a command line interface which is written in Python and you can find it on GitHub somewhere. I'll find the link in a moment. But there's not a CLI called Ripe Atlas and you can just tell it to reports on the results. So this, if you recall from when I shared my screen earlier, this number is the measurement ID I've just set up. So if I just run this, remember it was an ID of six ping from everywhere in India, from any probe in India to the machine in my kitchen over there. If I just, you know, please spit out the results. This is a bit painful to read. Maybe if I make this window wider because IPv6 addresses are very wide. This might make a little bit more sense. Right, there we go. Let's pipe this into more because there's more data that I'm willing to consume in one go. Bites from a certain probe number, probe number 100278, which has IP address mumble to, this is the machine sitting in my kitchen, has succeeded, typed a little 50, and these are the ping times, so the latency is about 100 and, you know, I grep this is 110ish milliseconds. This probe has an IPv6 address and can resolve tooth fairy, which is in my kitchen to this address, but it can't actually reach it. So it has, presumably it has no IPv6, excuse me, to route to me. Same thing here, same thing here. For some reason, this guy here, probe 29814, takes twice as long to get from India to Hong Kong as probe number 100278. I don't know why this is. You could then go and do a trace route to find this out. Speaking of trace routes, a couple of months ago when I was last doing this presentation or one like it, I think I was handing out things in February. I don't remember where I was in February, somewhere else. I did a trace route measurements from various parts of the internet to somewhere else and then I get the trace route outputs if I tell the thing to report on this result and then I could go and analyze what routes are these things taking from different probes and that's all very useful. So trace routes and ping are just two measurements you can do with the right battle system. You could also do HTTP requests. You can do TLS requests. You can check NTP coverage. There's several other things you can do with the right battle monitoring system and you can get the results either through the web page if web pages work for you or you can programmatically get them using the right appless toolkits which is what I've just done now. And in my experience, that's just because I'm a troublemaker, the command line works a lot more reliably than the web page but that's just because web pages got it for me.
