What's up everyone? Today's Monday, today's YouTube Live Day. Couple things I want to talk about is, one, I'm gonna talk about the electric vehicle sector and what is happening. Two, I'm gonna talk about the November price action.  So let's start, right? Number one, electric vehicle sector. So every single November, guys, we have a sector that goes crazy before it was the shipping sector, Drives, DCIX, SINO. Before that was the Ebola sector, Lake, APT, stuff like that. Before that was the body cam companies, DGLY, ISNS. Before that, it was the fuel cell companies like BLDP and Plug. And now this year it is the electric vehicle companies. So historically, every November is when we get a sector play. Before that, I think it was marijuana. We had marijuana stocks, we had Bitcoin stocks. So as you could tell, there's usually one theme. It's kind of a hot sector or something hot that goes on that gets everyone excited about these stocks. So this year in 2020, it has been Tesla and the electric vehicle companies. You've had Tesla that's gone up 1,000% this year. You've got NIO that's gone up 1,000% this year. Those are real companies. And when those real companies start to go crazy, you get these scam fake companies that try to pump up their companies. Last month they were a marijuana company. The month before they were a Bitcoin mining company and today they're an electric vehicle company.  But the problem is that there's so much demand and so much traders and so much dumb money in this market that it just goes straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up until they could get an offering. The reason why most of these stocks are listed on these exchanges is to raise money. A lot of these companies do not have money to fund operations. A lot of these companies don't have money in the bank for research and development. So what they do is they sell shares, they dilute shareholders to be able to raise capital. This is their end game, right? All of these small scam companies, their end game is to raise capital. The way they raise capital is by building hype and dumping stocks. So today, Solo SOLO had a $200 million shelf, right? Which means that they could raise up to $200 million, right? From diluting their shareholders. AYRO had a $10 million offering. Last week, KNDI and FUV had offerings. So all of these electric vehicle companies are doing exactly what we think they're gonna do. They're raising money, they're diluting shareholders, all this.  Blink is week two. So there's a lot of these companies, guys, that are still not offering yet. Blink has not had an offering yet. KXIN is up 1,000%. They haven't had an offering yet, right? So eventually, these stocks are going to do what all the other stocks are doing.  So what do we do and how do we trade these stocks, right? So usually there is something called the head of the snake. There is a stock that is in control. There is a stock that is the market leader, right? In our case, in this case of the electric vehicles, it seems like the market leader is BLNK, right? It seems like it's BLNK. So to me, until BLNK really tanks, these things aren't gonna tank. And now something else that we have to make note of. SOLO is up from $2 to $10. KXIN is up from $2 to $10. Blink is up from $5 to $30. So just because SOLO is tanking down to $9 or KXIN is tanking down to $9, oftentimes personally, I underperform because I cover too early. So I'm trying to make it my duty at least this time that when BLNK does tank, to be a little bit more patient with my covers, guys. So head of the snake is BLNK. So focus on that. When that starts to tank, the rest will tank. Number two is do not fight sector plays, right? If a stock is over pre-market highs, you must get out. If a stock is above VWAP and you are shorting, you must use 30% size only, right? The reason why MIC members and the reason why we're doing all right in this market, I'm not gonna lie and say we're doing amazing. It is a very tough market. Ask any trader that makes $10 million a year or $10,000 a year. It is a very hard market in November and this is what happens. But the only thing keeping us safe is risk management and the ability to follow the process and stick to our stops. As I look around and see KXIN tanking, as I look around and see Solo tanking, as I look around and see BLNK testing VWAP, it seems to me that these stocks are very close to tanking. So I'm going to use my knowledge of last week when these stocks tanked at reversal times, which is at 2PM market time, to watch them and see if they are going to continue lower, guys. So that's that. That's the electric vehicle sector. Also in MIC, guys, we have videos on sector plays. So very quickly, I just wanted to kind of pull this up so that you guys know how to navigate around the website. Give me one moment.  We have about two pages full of videos of sector plays and how to trade these sector plays. Last time we had a sector play, how do we trade it and what do we do this time when we have sector plays? So that's at myinvestingclub.com slash videos and you just type in the topic that you are looking for there. So the electric vehicle companies should be making for great shorts when the time does come. These are the type of trades that could make or break your year. So please stick to the process, be patient and just wait for these stocks to conform, right? So that's number one. Number two is let me talk about our Black Friday promotion that we are going to do, guys. So number one is a lot of people are having sales and discounts and promotions and their $10,000 meetup package is now gonna be $8,000. Their $5,000 annual package is now gonna be $3,000 and we're not really about that game right now.

I've got t-shirts hoodies tank tops face masks What have you you get 25% off with the code Memday 21 at checkout So there'll be a link to my teespring store in the description of this video So now without further ado, let's check out this massive Transformer and welcome to Patriot Prime reviews We'll start things off by taking a look at Optimus's vehicle mode first and his vehicle mode for this line was some sort of Cybertronian Weaponized fire truck this vehicle didn't put out fires This one calls them and this is one impressive vehicle It's big and bulky and quite heavy. This vehicle really has some heft to it Lots of great molded details and paint applications all the way around Even the back of the vehicle looks really really good taking a closer look at the cab. You've got these Translucent windows right here Translucent light bar white stripes Gray grill black bumper, and I love how this looks right here with the bumpers That looks so cool. You've got translucent lights right here on the front with some orange paint applications Autobot logo tampa graft right there on either side More translucent windows right there on the side. You got some silver detailing right there I love the detailing right there. That looks great Wheels look really good and one thing about the wheels all of my wheels touch the ground Except for this one if you watch I'm rolling around This one just does not connect with the ground and I can't figure out why it's pushed in all the way Flip around here on the other side. I mean, he just has that one wonky wheel Now for a quick size comparison here. We have 2005's liter class Optimus Prime Compared to our newest liter class Optimus Prime and wow Inflation people What a difference a few years makes Now as I stated earlier, this is a weaponized fire truck So let's go ahead and take a look at the weapons. We'll take a look at this one here first The weapons can't are articulated so they can go up and down on Really nice ratchets and they can actually swing out You do have to kind of hold this in place so this whole section doesn't Unpeg from the vehicle, but you swing these out And angle them up and that is really cool. I dig that So there's another complaint with the vehicle mode is this section right here this whole Portion does not peg in the trailer tractor trailer part Excuse me the cab part Attaches only via a couple pegs here in the back you try to move these around this section is going to move So you do want to hold that in place now the gimmick with this launcher is you can see the little blue missiles And right here you press this down will fire. I Said will fire there you go that main missile from right there now being the Cybertron line This does have a gimmick So you've got your little Cyber key here and to be honest I don't think this cyber key goes with Optimus Prime from the pictures I've seen it's supposed to be a blue one, but this is the cyber key I had attached so I'm going to use it you slide the cyber key right here and Press in and it opens up you may have missed it. I think I was blocking the whole thing You got these little extra launchers here on the side. There's one on either side here put the key in and Those launchers will pop out. So now you have three missile launchers Here's the other one and Of course the main one you've got three missile launchers attached to this main gun here now spinning around to the other side But first take note on this cannon right here. There is this blue button So turning around so we have a better look this cannon has the same articulation it can go up It can go down nice ratchets got a hold this once again to swing it around like so But this can is electronic as you can see I accidentally hit the button you press that little blue button And he's got these cool laser sounds with this light up light Now take the cyber key slide it in here up top and you'll hear a Weapon activation sound when this is ready for full power So these open up it's kind of like a rail gun if you will so now it's a more More of a mega blaster. So what you'll do with this mode press the button down And you'll hold it in and it's charging charging. Let go And it fires so hold in the charge So I think that is really cool. I love electronic gimmicks. Let's go ahead and pop that off and Rotate these back into place. So that's pretty much it for Fire truck mode now. We'll transform him into his aerial mode Yes, Optimus Prime has an aerial mode and I hope I can get all of this on camera what we're gonna do is swing this whole side panel out and rotate it down like so and Take the cannon and Bring forward so we've got one side. Let's see it might have to bring this wing up. Do the same thing here Bring the side out rotate around Bring the cannon forward. So now you have I don't think I can get this all in frame You have Optimus Prime in flight mode. Let me see if I can zoom out for you guys. So yes, here we go We've got a giant aerial weaponized fire truck flying in and raining down some hell on Some Decepticons that is so weird yet glorious Now another option for Optimus's flight mode is you can take these sections right here and fold these down To form other cannons But I think that just leaves too big of an empty space right there along the top So I like mine positioned just like so Now let's transform Optimus Prime into his robot mode And as you can see I've already reverted him back to his weaponized fire truck mode from his flight mode Now the first thing I'm going to do is take this rear cannon here and remove the tip This will be Optimus Prime's blaster for robot mode later on now to remove the trailer section of the fire truck You're going to bring these flaps out Then right here underneath you want to reach in make sure you've got a hold of the blue section right there and just lift up It's a little tight. So you've got these little pegs mushroom pegs right here That attached right there. So now let's get Optimus straightened back out So you can take a look at him in his cab mode and I swear this cab itself is about as long as The whole thing attached so I'm going to move the trailer out of the way And here we have prime in his cab mode now You can see he does have visible robot toe syndrome right there But hey that goes right along with his visible robot head syndrome there and just to give you a quick size Comparison here is just the cab of Cybertron Optimus Prime With Earthrise Prime and like I said, it's just as long Man, you just really got your money's worth with leader class figures back in the day So continuing on with the transformation what we're going to do is take the rear of the cab section and Let's go ahead and separate these this will form Optimus Prime's legs, of course, and now you want to bring these around and up Just like so for forming the back of Prime's legs and giving him some heel spurs now Let's go ahead and rotate the legs down And take this waste plate and fold it down now from here You're going to take these translucent side windows and bring these around To form Optimus's chest as you can see there's some little tabs right there. Just snap those together So you've got that going on and then you're going to take the front portion of the cab and Split this apart. This will form Optimus Prime's shoulders and arms You want to bring this out and as you can see there's a really big mushroom peg right there That's going to line up with that port but let's see bring This section up and the arms down and now Snap that into place go ahead and do that with the other side Bring these out and over There we go. So yes, these sections right here will fold up Forming large shoulder pauldrons now. You just simply rotate the fists around So there we've got We're almost done that keeps popping off and now there's a little lever right back here slide this lever up Revealing Optimus Prime's head and There we have Optimus Prime in robot mode and this is a big Bulkie prime. This is the prime who hit the gym in the 90s. This guy is jacked up and I Love it. He is just such a unique look for Optimus Prime now taking a closer look at the head sculpt The head is very Beast Wars he's got that open mouthplate right there Yellow eyes yellow crest little yellow details there on the side not the biggest fan of that look I prefer my primes with the mouthplate, but that's going to come into play later on Lots of great details once again all over fantastic paint applications The Autobot logos carry over from vehicle mode the translucent windows the windows here make a pretty good chest Little yellow details there on the waist some orange knees. Now. You don't get many primes with orange details That's pretty cool. I love the fists the fists are just big and beefy like how that pipe work Looks right there and there's actually articulation with the fingers now Articulation for the entire bot is Prime's head is on a swivel. It can do a complete 360 The arms can do a complete 360 as well They can go out but only so far because of the big shoulder pauldron right here And there's really nothing you can do about that. That's as far as it's going to go. There is an elbow bend and Rotation no wrist rotation whatsoever No waist rotation the legs they can go forward. They can go back. You actually move this Waste plate out of the way so you can get a little bit more range of motion Now going back to that wheel that wasn't working my wonky wheel. That's actually on a swivel So you can bring the wheels up to get more articulation with a side kick for prime Put that back in place. There is a rotation right there for the upper thigh and a knee bend no ankle tilt What so ever but still lots of details that man that chest piece will not stay together Lots of details and articulation for prime now since this won't stay together Let's go ahead and show off. What is within primes chest? Unfold these and you got this little section right here and the easiest way to open this is bring the waist piece up It kind of connects to this chest piece press down that flops open enough to read and get it and Behold the Autobot matrix of leadership. Let me see if I can get that out. I don't have much of a fingernail Come on. There we go. So a pretty cool looking matrix once again. It's orange I don't know what's up with the orange for this Optimus Prime, but it seems to be really tiny He can't really hold it you kind of slide it over his thumb and pinch it with these fingers So you've got that going on but he can't do the whole hold and open the open the matrix Look, so let's go ahead and we'll put that back inside prime and Give him all sealed up. Oops. I get that Protector over the matrix and now for primes weapon He's got this really cool gun right here and I like this gun the main reason it looks like the blaster from V So to put the gun in primes hand You'll see these little pegs on either side of the handle those coincide with the hole right here on primes Fist so if you get that lined in there just right Kind of reminds me of how the masterpiece figures hold their weapons once you get that pegged in bring the fingers around And there you have Optimus Prime all armed and ready for battle But that's not all Prime can also utilize his trailer in this mode Now before we start combining Optimus Prime with his trailer This section has a mode to a supposed Artillery platform and what you do is you take these wing sections bring these out which will actually angle it up Angle your cannons up. You can swing these out However, you'd like Fold these sections down and there you have an artillery platform So the instructions say They bring these down a little bit. So if you so choose you can have Optimus Prime Man this battle station So you've got that going on but there's a lot of imagination used for this right here Now to go ahead and combine prime with the trailer. Let's move prime out of the way once again Go ahead and bring all this together here And now underneath this blue section that you grabbed earlier You want to make sure in pull this out and just pull it straight out It connects via these little mushroom pegs just like the other blue sections before those mushroom pegs Attach right there. Let's go ahead and put this part out of the way Now we're gonna take these blue sections here and pull those apart Okay, and rotate those guns down We're gonna bring Optimus back in so now Take the back sections of his legs. You know, I'll bring these down and around like so There's a mushroom peg that's gonna peg in right there Pop that into place move the toe down Like so and do this here on the other side just breathe that is on a double joint and on a spring So just bring it down and around snap it in Move the toes down and now right here on the knees. You can slide the leg out Slightly giving him more of a wider stance. So now Optimus Prime has got some really big old clown shoes on Now you're gonna take these sections right here and make sure and line up You've got a port right there and a slot right there You want to make sure you get these lined up accordingly. So let's see. I think this one here will go on this side snaps right into place and Right there and now you've got Optimus Prime with his giant boots Now that prime has his Gene Simmons boots on we're gonna go back to the trailer section and we're gonna do is unfold these wings just like you they were for flight mode get these all unfolded and rotate around so you have The cannons facing down Everything angled just right this takes up a lot of space So the cannons are angled down the wings are pointed up this way And you now have these black sections which are going to form Shoulder straps for primes backpack. So go ahead and flip these up and now we're going to bring in prime Now I'm gonna try my best to get this on screen to where you can see it You want to rotate primes arms up and if you look right here There's a slot where these bottom sections are going to fit. So let's go ahead and line this up just right Get that slid in Go ahead and move primes arms back down and now you got these shoulder straps These are going to flip right over and snap into place and There you go. You've got Optimus Prime in Super mode and This is a massive butt. That's the best I can do to get him all on screen Let me see if I can adjust these weapons accordingly. These are supposed to be under slung so you kind of Attach them just under primes arms like so actually let's remove the blaster.  You got prime Already to take on the Decepticons and this thing is just amazing Plus you can swing these blasters out here. So now he has knee cannons And I dig that that just looks Awesome, this is an impressive Optimus Prime figure and of course all of the gimmicks the cyber key gimmicks work in these modes as well Place the key here in the mega cannon. It'll open up And he can open fire and of course you can also launch the missiles now I do wish that there was some way to attach the weapons to the forearms You just kind of have to maneuver them accordingly Fortunately, this prime has ratchets that'll kind of hold everything in place But man, I just can't get over how awesome that looks now Of course, there is one more detail for this super mode is if you rotate Optimus Prime's head around There is a little lever.  To G1 Prime. He's got these little flaps that you open up and there you go There is Cybertron Optimus Prime all armed and ready for battle and he absolutely looks Spectacular, I love this figure. I cannot believe it's taken me that long to pull him off the shelf and revisit him and Now for some quick size comparisons here is 2005's Transformers Cybertron leader class Optimus Prime With Generation 1 Optimus Prime Generation 1 Power Master Optimus Prime and Transformers Earthrise leader class Optimus Prime 2005's Transformers Cybertron Optimus Prime is an amazing toy. This figure is so much fun I love the vehicle mode. I love the beefy robot mode all the gimmicks all the attachments This guy is just a ton of fun and a great addition to your collection Now I forgot to point out the wheels are really cool for this super robot mode because there is Suspension so that's awesome. He's big and he's beefy and now the wheels will actually collapse in when you go to stand him up Plus, I don't know if I can get it to zoom in any closer I love the details on the straps. He's got spikes and weapons built in to the shoulder straps of the Wing mode or the jet pack but man this thing is so cool And I love it like I said, I can't believe I haven't touched this figure for so long And even today he still impresses. So there you go guys 2005's Transformers Cybertron leader class Optimus Prime So does a 2005 Transformers Cybertron Optimus Prime belong in your collection? Well, if you're an Optimus Prime fan or a fan of the Unicron trilogy Absolutely, this is an amazing figure I love the gimmicks and just how solid this guy is and he's just a ton of fun Now if you're a G1 enthusiast and you love your G1 figures and all the modern new Reincarnations of G1 you still may want to check this guy out because trust me. He is very impressive I cannot believe I said it before that I haven't touched this guy since 2005 He is just so much fun and just really blew me away Even after all the modern figures I've messed around with for the last what 17 years So yeah, you see this guy on the shelf pick him up You are not going to be disappointed just make sure he has his Planet key and his three missiles as I said I'm not even sure I have the right planet key and I have these two others yet I don't own any other Cybertron figures other than the universe drop shot I just got and he came with the key So apparently when I sold all these figures off somebody didn't get the key now guys If you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to click that bell icon To get notified when I upload new reviews and please once again if you haven't subscribed to the channel Please help me out.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Please be seated. Welcome to the 42nd Annual Convention of the National Association of Evangelicals. The theme of this year's convention is Leadership with Integrity. I am happy to introduce some honored guests to my right. I will ask that they please stand as I introduce them. Please, if you will, hold. Thank you very much. Thank you all very much. A speaker devoutly prays that that's what will greet him when he finishes speaking. But members of the Congress, distinguished members of the clergy here, and you in the audience, I'm delighted to join you here in Columbus, the 42nd Annual Convention of the National Association of Evangelicals, and the 150th anniversary of this great city, Mr. Mayor. It's always a pleasure for me to return to the heartland of America. Talking to a church audience like this reminds me a little of a church in a little town in Illinois, Dixon, Illinois, that I used to attend as a boy. One sweltering Sunday morning in July, the minister told us he was going to preach the shortest sermon he'd ever given. And then he said a single sentence, if you think it's hot today, just wait. And of course there was the minister, and I know I'm taking the chance here because I tell stories about your profession, your calling, you probably know them all, but this was the minister who put his text on the pulpit half an hour before every service. And one Sunday a smart alec hid the last page. And the minister preached powerfully, but when he got to the words, so Adam said to Eve, he was horrified to discover that the final sheet was gone and rifling through the other pages he stalled for time by repeating, so Adam said to Eve, and then in a low voice he said, there seems to be a missing leaf. But it is an honor to be with you today. For more than four decades, the National Association of Evangelicals has ministered to the people of this country in the name of God's word. And today the N.A.E. has some 38,000 member churches representing some 4 million Americans, as you well know. You provide Christian education, foreign missions, religious broadcasting, and as you were just told, the provision of a very worthwhile safety net, a host of other services. In doing so, you are leaders in promoting fundamental American values of hard work, family, freedom, and faith. On behalf of a grateful nation, I thank you. In keeping with your convention theme, leadership with integrity, I'd like to talk to you today about religious values in public life. Any serious look at our history shows that from the first, the people of our country were deeply imbued with faith. Indeed, many of the first settlers came for the express purpose of worshiping in freedom. The historian Samuel Morrison wrote of one such group, Doubting nothing and fearing no man, they undertook to set all crooked ways straight and create a new heaven and a new earth. If they were not permitted to do that in England, they would find some other place to establish their city of God. Well, that other place was this broad and open land we call America. The debates over independence and the records of the Constitutional Convention make it clear that the founding fathers were sustained by their faith in God. In the Declaration of Independence itself, Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. And it was George Washington who said, of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. So the record is clear. The first Americans proclaimed their freedom because they believed God himself had granted freedom to all men and they exercised their liberty prayerfully, avidly seeking and humbly accepting God's blessing on their new land. For decades, America remained a deeply religious country, thanking God in peacetime and turning to him in moments of crisis. During the Civil War, perhaps our nation's darkest hour, Abraham Lincoln said, I have been driven many times upon my knees by the conviction that I had nowhere else to go. Believe me, no one can serve in this office without understanding and believing exactly what he said. During World War II, I remember a rally to promote war bonds. It was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. The rally featured the great figures from government, great stars of the theater, entertained the audience, and many times those people proclaimed that God was on our side. And then it remained for a $54-a-month buck private who spoke nine words that no one there that day will ever forget. His name was Joe Lewis. Yes, the Joe Lewis who had come from the cotton fields to become the world heavyweight prize-fighting champion. Now this $54-a-month private walked out to center stage after all those other celebrities had been there. And he said, I know we'll win because we're on God's side. There was a moment of silence, and then that crowd nearly took the roof off. During the civil rights struggles of the 50s and early 60s, millions worked for equality in the name of their creator. Civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King based all their efforts on the claim that black or white, each of us is a child of God. And they stirred our nation to the very depths of its soul. And so it has been through most of our history. All our material wealth and all our influence have been built on our faith in God and the bedrock values that follow from that faith. The great French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville 150 years ago said to Observed that America is great because America is good. And if she ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. Well, in recent years, we must admit America did seem to lose her religious and moral bearings. To forget that faith and values are what made us good and great. We saw the signs all around us. Years ago, pornography, while available, was mostly sold under the counter by the mid-70s it was available virtually on every magazine rack and every drug store shop in the land. Drug abuse used to be confined to limited numbers of adults. During the 60s and 70s, it spread through the nation like a fever affecting children as well as adults and involving drugs that were once unheard of, drugs like LSD and PCP, ironically named or nicknamed angel dust. Well, perhaps most important, years ago the American family was still the basic building block of our society. But then families too often found themselves penalized by government taxation, welfare policies that were spinning out of control, and the social mores of our country were being undermined. Liberal attitudes viewed promiscuity as acceptable, even stylish. Indeed, the word itself was replaced by a new term, sexually active. And in the media what we once thought of as a sacred expression of love was often portrayed as something casual and cheap. Between 1970 and 1980, the number of two-parent families dropped while the number of single-parent families almost doubled. Teenage pregnancies increased significantly, and although total births declined, during the decade between 1970 and 1980, the number of illegitimate births rose about a quarter of a million. At the same time, the social standards seemed to be dissolving, our economic and governmental institutions were in disarray. Big taxing and spending had led to soaring interest rates and inflation. Our defenses had grown weak. Public officials at the highest levels openly spoke of a national malaise. All over the world, America had become known not for strength and resolve, but for vacillation and self-doubt. It seemed for a season as though our nation was in permanent decline and that any sense of justice, self-discipline, and duty was ebbing out of our public life. But the Almighty, who gave us this great land, also gave us free will, the power under God to choose our own destiny. The American people decided to put a stop to that long decline, and today our country is seeing a rebirth of freedom and faith, a great national renewal. As I said in my State of the Union address, America is back. We've begun tackling one problem after another. We've knocked inflation down, and we can keep it down. The prime rate is about half what it was when our administration took office. All across the country, a powerful economic recovery is gaining strength as we've begun rebuilding our defenses. In the name of freedom, morale, and the military has soared. And once again, America is respected throughout the world as a great force for freedom and peace. But this renewal is more than material. America has begun a spiritual awakening. Faith and hope are being restored. Americans are turning back to God. Church attendance is up. Audiences for religious books and broadcasts are growing. On college campuses, students have stopped shunning religion and started going to church. As Harvard theologian Harvey Cox put it, and I quote, rather than the cynical career types who supposedly have filled the campuses, I see young people who are intensely interested in moral issues, in religious history, and beliefs. One of my favorite Bible quotations comes from the Second Chronicles. If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. Today, Americans from Maine to California ask for this. And I do believe that he has begun to heal our blessed land. As this special awakening gathers strength, we must remember that many in good faith will hold other views. Let us pledge to conduct ourselves with generosity, tolerance, and openness toward all. We must respect the rights and views of every American because we're unshakably committed to democratic values. Our maker would have it no less. So please use your pulpits to denounce racism, anti-Semitism, and all ethnic or religious intolerance as evils. Let us make it clear that our values must not restrict but liberate the human spirit in thought and indeed. You may remember, and I'm sure you don't agree with a very cynical quote, got wide circulation from H. L. Menken. He said, Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone somewhere may be happy. Well, some suspect that today's spiritual awakening reflects such narrow-mindedness. We must show that faith and traditional values are the things that give life human dignity, warmth, vitality, and yes, laughter and joy. Sometimes we all must think when we look at ourselves, the Lord must have a sense of humor. Now, although millions of Americans have already done so much to put our national life back on the firm foundation of faith and traditional values, we still have far to go. In foreign affairs, I believe there are two fundamental tasks that we must perform. First, we must make certain our own country is strong so we can go on holding out the hope of freedom for all the world. When I took office, I made rebuilding our defense as a top priority. Although we still have a great deal to do, we've already made dramatic headway. And since American forces are the cornerstone in the global defense of liberty, that's good news for all the world. Second, in this age when electronics beam messages around the globe, we must keep telling the truth, including the truth, about the difference between free and totalitarian societies. This month it will be my honor to award a posthumous medal of honor, a medal of freedom, I should say, to Whitaker Chambers, a man of courage and wisdom. Chambers understood the struggle between totalitarianism and the West. He himself had turned to communism out of a sense of idealism in which he thought that might be the answer. And then he wrote, The vision, all the great visions of the free world have always been different versions of the same vision, the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The communist vision is the vision of man without God. I don't know whether you've ever read his line of when he first began to awaken. They had a new baby, a little girl, and he was looking at her one morning as she sat in her high chair, and he said he found himself looking at the delicate convolutions of that tiny ear. And that was when he said to himself, That cannot be just an accident of nature, a freak of nature. And he said he may not have realized at the moment, but he knows that in that moment God had laid his finger on his forehead. When men try to live in a world without God, it's only too easy for them to forget the rights that God bestows. Too easy to suppress freedom of speech, to build walls to keep their countrymen in, to jail dissidents and to put great thinkers in mental wards. We will deal with the communist world as we must with the great power by negotiating with it, from strength and in good faith, and if the new Soviet leadership is willing, we will renew our efforts to ease tensions between East and West, and why we will never accept for ourselves their system. We will never stop praying that the leaders, like so many of their own people, might come to know the liberating nature of faith in God. In our own hemisphere, the communist Sandinista regime in Nicaragua has systematically violated human rights, including the freedom to worship. Threats and harassment have forced virtually all Nicaraguan Jews to flee that country. Catholic clerics have been attacked by government instigated mobs. Protestant religious leaders have been arrested, beaten and deported. Dozens of Protestant churches have been burned. And today, the Sandinistas are trying to spread communist subversion throughout Central America. If they succeed, millions of Central Americans will suffer, and our own security and economy, especially in our own southern states, would be threatened by significantly increased numbers of refugees that might stream toward the United States. There is hope for Central America if America acts now with wisdom. Last month, I sent to the Congress the Jackson Plan, a plan that embodies the overall recommendations of the bipartisan commission on Central America. The plan calls for a five-year program of increased political, economic and military aid to the region, with some three out of four dollars going to the direct improvement of living conditions for the Central American people. It is essential to freedom in Central America and around the world that the Congress pass this bipartisan plan. I would like to ask you to join me in urging your senators and members of Congress to approve that plan swiftly. Here at home, I believe there are three basic tasks that we must accomplish. First, we must do our duty to generations not yet born. We cannot proclaim the noble ideal that human life is sacred, then turn our backs on the taking of some 4,000 unborn children's lives every day. This as a means of birth control must stop. In a recent speech to the National Religious Broadcasters, I stated that as abortions are performed, the unborn children are being killed often feel excruciating pain. And, oh, immediately, that statement prompts sharp criticism and denials. Well, just the other day, I received a letter signed by 24 medical doctors, including such eminent physicians as Dr. Bernie Pisani, President of the New York State Medical Society, and Bannon, former chief of pediatrics at the St. Louis City Hospital. The letter explained that in recent years, medical techniques have, quote, demonstrated the remarkable responsiveness of the human fetus to pain, touch, and sound. Mr. President, the letter concluded, in drawing attention to the capability of the human fetus to feel pain, you stand on firmly established ground. Many who seek abortions do so in harrowing circumstances. Often they suffer deep personal trauma. Just as tolerance means accepting that many in good faith hold views different from our own, it also means that no man or woman should sit in judgment on another. If we could rise above bitterness and reproach, if Americans could come together in a spirit of understanding and helping, then we could find positive solutions to the tragedy of abortion. And this we must do. Second, we must restore education in basic value to America's schools. Since our administration put education at the top of the national agenda, we've seen a grassroots revolution that promises to strengthen every school in the country. Across the land, parents, teachers, school administrators, state and local office holders have begun work to improve the fundamentals, not frills, in the curriculum. But basic teaching and learning. As this great educational reform takes place, we must make certain that we not only improve instruction in math and science, but in justice, religion, discipline and liberty. For to guide America into the 21st century, our children will need not only technical skills, but wisdom. And because parents know best what schools are right for their children, our administration has proposed education vouchers and tuition tax credits, concepts that the American people overwhelmingly support. And I intend to keep pressing for those reforms until their past. Third, school prayer. From the early days of the American colonies, prayer in schools was practiced and revered as an important tradition. Indeed, for nearly two centuries of our history, it was considered a natural expression of our religious freedom. Then in 1962, the Supreme Court declared school prayer illegal. Well, I firmly believe that the loving God who has blessed our land and made us a good and caring people should never have been expelled from America's classrooms. And the country agrees. Polls show that by a majority of 80%, the American people want prayer back in our schools. We stand on firm, historical and constitutional ground. During the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin rose to say that he said, The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see that God governs in the affairs of men. Without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel. And he asked, Have we now forgotten this powerful friend? Or do we imagine we no longer need his assistance? And then Franklin moved that the convention begin its daily liberations by asking for the assistance of Almighty God. Well, today, prayer remains a vital part of American public life. The Congress begins each day with prayer and the Supreme Court begins each sitting with an invocation. Now, I just have to believe that if the members of Congress and the Justices can acknowledge the Almighty, our children can too. And it's not just public prayer that the courts have moved against. Today, courts are preventing students from using school premises for Bible study groups. Prayer meetings are just getting together to talk about their faith. When students at the Gilderland High School near Albany, New York sought to use an empty classroom for a voluntary prayer meeting, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals said no. The court claimed that it could be a bad influence on other students if they were, quote, to see the captain of the football team or the student body president or the leading actress in a dramatic production participating in communal school prayer meetings. The court ruled that the, quote, symbolic inference that a school approves of prayer is, quote, too dangerous to permit. Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's rulings like this that are dangerous, not school prayer. Thank you. Hasn't something gone haywire when this great constitution of ours is invoked to allow Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan to march on public property and urge the extermination of Jews and the subjugation of blacks but it supposedly prevents our children from Bible study or the saying of a simple prayer in their schools. In 1952, a prominent jurist wrote a legal opinion that I believe still holds true. We are a religious people, he wrote, whose institutions presuppose a supreme being. We guarantee the freedom to worship as one chooses. We make room for as wide a variety of beliefs and creeds as the spiritual needs of man deem necessary. To hold that government may not encourage religious instruction would be to find in the constitution a requirement that the government show a callous indifference to religious groups. That would be preferring those who believe in no religion over those who do believe. Well, the name of that jurist was Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and the situation we face today is just what Justice Douglas was warning about. Government hostility to religion. We must change it and change it now. Senator Denton and Congressman Lott have proposed legislation to make certain that students who seek to use school premises in the name of their faith receive equal access. Well, I intend to support some of this legislation and I urge you to join me in doing so too. But most important, in a matter of days the Senate will vote on an amendment to the Constitution to allow voluntary vocal prayer in America schools. Our amendment explicitly states that no child must ever be forced to recite a prayer nor would it allow any state to compose the words of a prayer. But under this amendment the federal government could not forbid voluntary vocal prayer in our schools. And by reasserting our children's freedom of religious expression the amendment would help them to understand the diversity of America's religious beliefs and practices. If this amendment receives a two-thirds of the vote in the Senate it can come to a vote in the House. But neither will happen without our support. In recent weeks the school prayer amendment has received a ground swell of backing across the country. And last night in Washington many Americans gathered for an all-night prayer vigil at the Capitol. It was a most moving event and a clear expression of the will of the people. I'm convinced that passage of this amendment would do more than any other action to reassert the faith and values that made America great. I urge you and all those listening on television and radio to support this amendment and to let your senators and members of Congress know where you stand. And together we can show the world that America is still one nation under God. St. Paul wrote a verse that I've always cherished. Now abide faith, hope, love, these three but the greatest of these is love. May we have faith in our God and in all the good that we can do with his help. May we stand firm in the hope of making America all that she can be a nation of opportunity and prosperity and a force for peace and goodwill among nations. And may we remain steadfast in our love for this green and gentle land and the freedom that she offers. And thank you all for letting me be with you and God bless you all. Will you please be seated. Thank you Mr. President for that stirring word to us. I assure you that tomorrow morning this convention will debate two resolutions on prayer in public school and free access and we will listen strongly to what you have said. As evangelical Christians we are people of prayer. I call now to the rostrum Dr. Robert McIntyre, the first Vice President of the National Association of Evangelicals and Superintendent of the Wesleyan Church to lead this great convention in prayer, Dr. McIntyre. Let us bow reverently in prayer. We are worthy to approach thee this afternoon our Father but we come as you have told us to come boldly not through merits of our own but in the name and through the merits of your Son and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. In the midst of attentions glare and publicity spotlight close us in for these moments with thee and with thee alone. Make this hall a sacred sanctuary and may this seat be an altar.


It's just a blessing that we have been here this long, part of this community. It's just been great fun for 40 years. We are definitely family. We have actually watched a lot of the kids, brown adults, nowadays actually grew up working here and coming back and visiting. I mean, we're definitely family oriented throughout the community. I just think we're the best place in town and I invite everybody to come see us.


Preparing for poetry assessments and exams can be especially stressful, and this is more so if you're preparing for unseen poetry because these are poems that you've never seen before, you don't know what to anticipate, and thus you cannot even prepare in advance. However, what I want to show you is actually when it comes to preparing for any form of poetry assessment or learning how to analyze and evaluate any form of poem, there are five techniques that always come up in poems. Irrespective of the poem, there are five techniques. If you learn them, whatever poem is put in front of you, you will be able to come up with five separate points on these poems. OK, so when it comes to poetry and especially unseen poetry, which is poems that you've never seen before, these are the five techniques you should anticipate when it comes to preparing for your poetry. And when you're sitting in your exams or when you're sitting in an in class assessment, so you're not entirely sure how to even begin, how to get started, literally just look through the different verses in the poem and spot these five techniques and already you're going to get started. Now, the first technique to always remember will always come in any poem is alliteration. Just to recap, alliteration is basically two or more words within a line of poetry, which start with the same letter, big bad bear, that's alliteration because it starts with B. This, of course, the only exception is any words that start with S. We call that sibilance, like slithering snake. OK, however, aside from S, any other letters, they are consonants. They, if there's two or more, would start with the same letter. That's what we call alliteration. This you can bank on coming up in any poem that's put in front of you. The second technique which you can almost always anticipate coming up is metaphor. Remember that a metaphor is a technique where another object or another thing is compared and described as if something were something else. OK, so in other words, if I describe someone as a ninja, if, for instance, if you call somebody a pig, that's a metaphor because that person is not an actual pig. It's not an actual animal. You're using another different animal or a different object to compare them to them, but you're not using lack or as. OK, so just always remember, metaphor is when you describe something as if it were something else and when it comes to poetry, you can always bank on unseen poetry or any poem that's put in front of you will always include a metaphor. The third technique which you can bank on is semantic field of whatever category. OK, just remember, semantic field is two, three or more words which belong to a wider category. I'll give you an example. Roses, daffodils and sunflower belong to the wider category or the wider semantic field of flowers. iPad, laptop, phone belongs to the semantic field of technology, chair, table and sofa belongs to the semantic field of furniture. OK, so you can always bank the third technique. You can always bank on coming up in any poetry is semantic field. It's just you need to be able to spot the two or more words that belong to a certain category and then mention. OK, so these two or these three words belong to the semantic field of whatever it is. OK, the fourth technique you can always bank on and this, of course, is the other flip side to metaphor is a simile. OK, simile is a very popular with poets and always remember that simile is when you compare two things using like or as as big as a giant, for instance, as flat as a surface, whatever it is, it's basically when two things are compared using like or as as white as a cloud, as white as a pearl. OK, as red as blood, again, similes are a very, very popular technique with poets and this is one technique you can always bank on coming up with any poem that you've ever seen. OK, so again, when you look at the poem, if you've never seen it before, especially, you can always look for as or like that's used and then more than likely it will be tied to a comparison. We tied to a simile. Now, the fifth and final technique you can always bank on in poetry is on Jean Mont. Remember, on Jean Mont, within a line of poetry is when the line runs on without any punctuation at the end of the line, it just runs on to the next. This speeds up the pace of the poem. So always remember, on Jean Mont, within a verse is when in a line of poetry, there is no punctuation at the end of that line on Jean Mont. And again, this is incredibly popular with poets. Always remember, on Jean Mont speeds up the pace of the poem because if you were to read it out loud or you were to perform that poem, you don't pause because there's no punctuation. You just carry on to the next line. You only pause when you see the next form of punctuation. So just to really quickly recap, if you're preparing especially for unseen poetry, these are the five things to anticipate in any poem. If, for instance, you have your exams, always remember, especially with unseen poetry or even seen poetry. OK, these are the five main techniques you can always bank on appearing within any poem. Number one, alliteration, number two, metaphor, number three, semantic field, number four, simile and number five on Jean Mont. So hopefully that helps in perhaps making this process of preparing for poetry assessments and even preparing, especially for unseen poetry, less stressful. Thanks so much for listening.
