Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I am going to be ranking all of my bronzers from my least to my most favorite. So if you would like to see how all of my bronzers rank, then just keep watching. So my makeup collection series has come to a little bit of a halt as I'm waiting for some drawers to come in and I'm going to do a lot more makeup collection videos, but I've done all of my palettes so far and I want to get into bronzers, blush, and highlighters. I definitely have the least amount of bronzers so I pulled out all of them and I figured I could actually do it ranking style. Just numbers wise, I'm not going to be able to rank my blushes and my highlighters unless I break them up by like high end and affordable. It will be too overwhelming for me so I might just do like a regular my blush collection, my highlighter collection, but this is my bronzer collection. So it's a collection video kind of, but I figured I had a good number where I can rank them as well and I'm pretty picky about my bronzers. I'll wear any bronzer. Basically I feel like I can make a lot work for me, but there are some that I just know are so much easier to grab for that I love every time and there's others that I do feel need some tweaking. That's what I'm going to be talking about in this video. Now in my face palette collection video, those feature other kind of bronzer products. I'm not featuring any palettes in here, just my individual bronzers and their only powder. I didn't want to overwhelm myself with also adding in my Korean bronzers. So we're only doing my individual powder bronzers today. Let's get into the bronzers. I did my makeup a few hours ago and then I had to stop because I had to go to Chick-fil-A and so I've had greasy food and all of that so I feel good. I feel ready to film this. So I have 19 bronzers. I don't think I'm going to remember the numbers correctly so just a little warning I might mess up the numbers, but this is definitely number 19. The least favorite bronzer in my collection. Now keep in mind if I hate a bronzer, I'm not going to keep it. So for the most part there's some reason that I keep these bronzers in my collection so I have to at least like them a little bit. But probably my least favorite bronzer in my collection is this pretty vulgar bronzer in the shade bronzed mannequin. My apologies if you hear mowing. It's a nice day outside. I can't get agree, but I don't like this bronzer simply because it's just not a very good color for me. It's a little bit too dark for me and it just deposits way too much color. It's too warm. It's too dark. This isn't made for my skin tone. I got this in a boxy charm and honestly I really wouldn't mind decluttering this. So this might be in a future declutter if I ever do a declutter video, but honestly I don't really like this bronzer. I think the powder aspect of it's nice like the quality is fine, but the color is just off for my skin tone. So this one I actually like really don't like. So that's number 19. I can't really talk about that one some more. Number 18 is this morphe bronze tour in the shade celebutant. First of all, I love this called bronze tour. The mix of bronzer and contour. I think it's really great marketing. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to buy it. I just don't find myself grabbing for this one that much. I think the color is okay. Blendability is okay. It's not bad enough for me to want to get rid of just in case there's a video where I do like a full face of morphe or full face of affordable products. I like this enough to keep it and talk about it in a video. It's just I have such a great range of bronzers. This one isn't my favorite. It's just not my perfect shade. I don't love the shade. I don't dislike it either, but it's kind of a nah it's not bad but it's not great. The colors that they have in the line are pretty nice and I like the concept of this. It's very small and portable and this is something I would take to travel because if it breaks it's not that big of a deal and the color works. You know it's a more affordable product and it gets the job done. Number 17. I want to like this so bad. I like the color. That's why I keep this. This is the color pop bronzer in the shade coconut beach.  I stick my brush in it and powder gets everywhere which really is a shame because I really love the color of this and I like color pop powder products but for some reason this one is so powdery and what confused me about this is there's another bronzer which I will mention later on that isn't so powdery. It's a different color but it's not as powdery as this but I like this color more so it just it doesn't make sense to me but anyways color pop coconut beach just does not do it for me. Moving on this came from this came from a holiday set from tart this year or this past year I guess and the top product is a bronzer so I keep it in my bronzer drawer so I guess I'll talk about it and I like this bronzer. I think it's the job done. It's a little bit too warm for me and it's not the most smooth blend ability but I do like it. It shades the face and I know this is kind of like a trio so it's not exactly a bronzer bronzer but I did want to talk about it because it's such an easy system of pretty wearable colors that go with every look so I do like this and I do get used out of this little guy. It came with three trios in the set but this one is my favorite this is the snow kissed prize and peppermint mocha so if you have the nine ways to shine from tart pull this out because I feel like this could get lost and it's actually a pretty good product. Number 15 is from makeup forever and this is the pro bronze and I have mine in the lightest shade I don't know exactly what it's called but it's not a bad bronzer it's just this doesn't fit my skin tone well it's a little bit too light for me. I can make it work and that's why I keep it my collection when I want just like a really light amount of shading is when I will use this product I kept this in my kit for a while but I think it just kind of got old and I wanted to refresh with a new bronzer so I took this out of my kit so that's why I really don't use it because I just wanted it for very fair clients but if you are very fair you might really like this bronzer it just it's not the color for me so that's kind of why it's ranking where it's ranking. This is number 14 and it's so funny how your opinions of makeup changes over the years because a while ago this was my absolute favorite bronzer this is the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer and it smells like chocolate and I think that's why I use to love it so much but honestly it's too dark for me I prefer lighter bronzers nowadays and I think it's a pretty good color but it's almost too poopy brown on me if I'm being honest it's just too dark and it just kind of looks dirty on my face I have to use a very light hand and I did go through a phase recently where I started using it again and I just don't love it I like it enough to keep it I like it enough to use it up until it's either old or I finish it but once I'm done with this I'm not going to repurchase it. Number 13 is this Wet and Wild Bronzer now this used to be not my favorite at all it has definitely climbed up the list as I've had it longer but this is in the shade take me to Brazil I didn't like it because I thought it looked a little bit too warm on me I thought the shimmer on it was kind of weird it weighed weird on the outsides of my face the reason why I've started to like it is because I found this works really well over powder foundation for my job I wear a lot of powder foundation and sometimes you'll notice that bronzers aren't really going to stick or show up because there's nothing for it to stick to this bronzer applies so smooth over powder foundation it has no problems having the pigmentation show and honestly the shine over a powder foundation looks really nice honestly this probably should have ranked a little bit higher because it's one of my favorite bronzers as far as my powder foundation routine goes but as far as like on regular liquid foundation it's not my favorite to use it's not my favorite color but the way it applies over powder foundation is just so smooth number 12 is the other bronzer from the coconut collection from color pop and this is talk to the palm and I like the formula of this but this shade is just a bit too deep for me which is why I totally wish this formulas could switch between the two because I love the other color so much but I like the formula of this I just think this is a really nice affordable bronzer and if you're looking for an affordable bronzer and you're on the color pop website they do have good bronzers if you're a medium skin tone I think you will really like this it just isn't for me but I still use it because the packaging is super cute and it's not a bad bronzer at all number 11 is the Maybelline City bronzer in 200 and honestly from this point on I love all the bronzers that I'm talking about this is a really good one really great affordable one from the drugstore there's a few really good bronzers at the drugstore and this is one of them definitely top three in the drugstore 200 is good but this is when I want an extra bronze or a little extra shading because it's a little bit too deep for me like just a touch if I'm being picky that's why this is ranking where it is but it's a really great formula so I highly recommend this bronzer it's very very good number 10 is from overall this is from the new Samantha March collection and this is the bronzer duo and I love how this bronzer has a shimmer side and then a matte side so you can really kind of customize what you like about it for me again I just feel like it's a bit too deep for me I think this will work better on a medium skin tone however if you use a light hand this is a beautiful bronzer I love mixing both sides because I don't have a problem with shimmery bronzer but I just like how you have the option to not have a shimmery bronzer it's very warm to the face as well which I do like so overall like the tone of this I just think it's a bit too deep for me but the formula is really great and I think Samantha did a great job at creating a bronzer that fit a lot of different skin tones so the fact that this is a little bit dark is okay because it's going to work for a wider range of people and you can customize it to make it work for you just use a light hand and tap it off and it's a really good bronzer number nine is from Malani and this is the sun-kissed silky matte bronzing powder I'm telling you the drugstore has some really good bronzers if I could go back I would buy a lighter shade but as you can see not too long ago I was into darker bronzers I think now at this point I much prefer lighter bronzers my bronzer collection really reflects the times where I prefer to darker bronzer which is why I'm complaining now because I like a light bronzer this is a really good one it is so silky on the skin it applies very easily it blends very easily the quality of this is a one going back obviously I wish I could get the lighter shade but this is still really good and I can still make it work for me and it's just a good solid bronzer number eight is my bronzer from Dior this is the Dior skin mineral nude bronzer this is a little bit harder to get your hands on it's not one of their typical bronzers I bought this at Nordstrom a while back and this one is a little bit lighter for me and it has more of a pinky tone this is what I wear when I wear a foundation that's too light on my skin tone I'll just kind of go with it and apply a lighter bronzer because that's when you can see this I love the way this smells it's such a nice natural light bronze to the skin it's not too warm it just it smells like so delicious and fresh and I just really like this bronzer I really loved Dior I love their face powders and this is no exception this is really wonderful if you're very fair by the way this is a great bronzer for fair skin because it does have a little bit of pink to it which will look even better on cooler tone fair skin tones number seven is another one from Maybelline it's the same one that I mentioned but in a different color this is in the shade 100 my life changed when I purchased the 100 versus the 200 because I started off with the 200 I knew I loved the formula but I needed something lighter and so when this finally came back in stock I snatched it up as soon as I could and this is the perfect everyday bronzer it's very light if I am looking for a little bit more deepening I'll actually mix these two which are perfect I just really like this formula it's a solid bronzer great from the drugstore very reliable not too warm not too neutral just a really good bronzer so the city bronzers from Maybelline spectacular moving on to number six we have the Kylie cosmetics bronzer in tequila tan I just think this is a very nice solid bronzer it's a little bit more warm which I like but it still plays pretty neutral on the skin it doesn't look too orange it's a really nice formula I feel like I can't go too heavy handed with it and it's just a nice safe color that goes with any look it's a great formula the packaging is cute I'm very tempted to grab for it a lot and as you can see I've made quite a dent in it because it's really good I like that it's not too powdery so you can't go heavy handed with it the Kylie cosmetics like bronzers and blushes are really really good I could pass on her highlighters but the bronzers I think she came out with a really great line moving on to number five we have the ever so popular physicians formula better bronzer this is just a really great classic bronzer it applies so smooth to the skin it's the perfect tone and it works so great on a lot of different skin tones with a lot of different undertones I think most of you know by now how great this bronzer is and I highly recommend it so I don't want to talk about it too much because this one is very very hyped up but for a good reason this is a really quality affordable bronzer moving on to number four this one's a little bit more cool toned but I do enjoy it a lot this is from Charlotte Tilbury and this is the film star of bronze and glow I use this a lot for cool toned looks because it is a cooler toned bronzer sometimes I'll use it even more so as a shader and then I'll add something more warm on top it's a beautiful formula this is kind of a classic formula from Charlotte Tilbury and for good reason it just looks good it works good the corresponding highlighter is also really great for very simple brightening to the face overall I love this it's just really good I feel like a bronzer is a bronzer so it's kind of hard to explain what makes them different from each other and what doesn't all I know is I grab for that one a lot moving on to number three is the newest addition to my collection you guys this bronzer so good this is the costas baked bronzer I have mine in the shade light it's just this beautiful shimmery baked bronzer but it's not shimmery I guess it just has a very nice natural sheen to it this is the perfect tone on my skin it's not too dark it's not too light and it just adds the right amount of shading to where I still feel very comfortable the finish of it is beautiful it blends out really nice there's a lot of hype recently around this bronzer and for good reason it's awesome so highly recommend this one my number two favorite bronzer this is actually the bronzer that I'm wearing today it's the perfect warm tone for me this is the Fenty bronzer in shady biz for me this is what I like as far as warmth goes you can see it just has a touch of warmth but it's not too orange which I really enjoy I do feel like it genuinely makes me look more tan but it has enough cool properties in it that it does shade me just a little bit I think the formula in here is spectacular it applies the right amount of product just for the first touch I don't really have to go in and build but I also don't have to blend to take some product away there's something about this formula and the amount of pigmentation that this deposits on my skin that's wonderful so shady biz from Fenty fantastic moving on to my number one bronzer I recently have re fallen in love with it and every time I use it I just can't get over how good it is and I can't believe it's number one but this is the Too Faced Sweethearts bronzer in Sweet Tea it's just a solid bronzer it's such a good tone and such a beautiful finish it applies so evenly and easy to the skin it will never ever look too dark on my skin and it will never ever look too light and overall I just feel good applying it everything from the packaging to the color to the finish on the skin it does have a slight sheen finish to it that looks very natural you can't go wrong with this bronzer I love it over my liquid foundations I love it over my powder foundations I love it over my cream foundations this has been a tried and true of mine for years and it still ranks at the very top so the Too Faced Sweethearts bronzer in Sweet Tea it's so under hyped it's so good my number one favorite all right guys so that was it that was me ranking all of my bronzers and I have to be honest it was very easy to rank them I just know what I like at this point and over the years my wants and desires as far as bronzers go have really shifted making it easier for me to make this choice right now I prefer a warm neutral that has a little bit of a sheen that is not too dark on my skin tone it actually is just a little bit more light I just think there's no need for me to go dark but I used to love that so it just depends what phase I am in my life if I were to rank these bronzers a year ago the rankings would have been totally different because I wanted something different out of my bronzers but as of now today May 2020 this is what I like and those are my rankings so I'm going to list my top 10 bronzers down below in the description box in case you want to check them out if you have any questions feel free to ask me thank you guys so much for watching I hope you enjoyed this video let me know what collection video you would like to see next and if you're interested in me ranking my blushes but done in affordable and high end categories just because it would be too overwhelming otherwise thank you guys so much for watching this video I hope you enjoyed it if you aren't subscribed to my channel already I hope you take the time to do so and I will see you guys in the next one bye guys have a good one


Hey guys, welcome back. Today is another garden vlog. I haven't done one in ages I feel like because I've sort of let my garden run a muck until now I'm reclaiming it back. So the last, where I left you I think was mildew and I was getting mildew of all my squash plants. Well, we've gotten rid of those now because we've basically picked all the squash from them and they were sort of overtaking our garden just here. But as you can see, I've basically cleared all the pumpkin, all the squash plants away and now I've actually started to create a new garden bed for us to use. So I've dug out the little layout, what we're gonna put in. And now I'm going to put some weed mat in to stop any weeds and things from tree roots like this one and all these ones next to it. I'm gonna put in some weed mat to stop that and then I'm gonna fill it with some more compost and some more soil and then plant in my plants that I'm going to use in this garden. So I got some clippings of my old herb plants that were growing there before and these are the ones that I have. So some mint, some mint, mint and then we have some rosemary, thyme, oregano and some majeurum. So they're all ready to go. They've been growing well. So I took some out and see how they were when I transplanted them into this pot right here. And they were okay when I left them in there for a week or so before I actually dug out over there. I made sure to see they were going to survive otherwise I wouldn't have any plants to put back in there. So they've done well. So they're going strong thankfully or good there. And here I'll show you under this little, you can see our new garden. So basically all that's in there is kale and spinach because they're honestly my favorite go-tos and I want to just focus on planting some of them for now. We have a tomato plant at the back that we've kept and then our original eggplant is going strong over there so we kept it. So as you can see, there's an eggplant growing on the bottom which is so exciting, I'll be using that soon. Oh and we also have a little, you can see, a little avocado tree growing at the back. It was growing strong before. I'm going to transplant it somewhere at the front because it's going to grow quite big. I think it grows to about half the size of this tree right here. So I'm looking at planting that around the front because honestly it probably will not fit in there. We take over and it'll be too big. So we're going to move it around the front somewhere else. A new update as well, it's been a while. I have a few things to share with you all. So this was our other citrus tree that we had but I actually planted one just over here. So this is the citrus tree that I planted. So we've actually put it into the ground now after years and years of it just sitting there. So I've planted it in. I actually had to trim a lot of the limbs off it as you can see because it had like a disease going on it. So it would make the tree branches swell up and it just wasn't loving life. So I cut those off to get rid of it. And it's going really strong now, which is great. It's a magpie. That magpie is always there. Honestly. And this is our mini garden next to our big one right here. So this is the mini one. We've actually started growing some cauliflower in this garden. As you can see, boom, it's just here. That will be growing soon, which I'm very excited about. And then we have some of our old beet shoots still there. Some of our bean plants out the back. This one's starting to die off now as you can see. Look at this. Boom, bug sensual. Yum. Anyway, I've been turning it over and over so I didn't need any more compost because I'm going to use that compost to then put in my garden here. So I'm going to mix it with the soil to make it sure it's nutrient rich. And it's a natural fertilizer rather than using chemical fertilizers from the store. So big bonus for organic gardening. Sustainable gardening, woo. So now that I've dug my huge hole in the backyard I will be putting the weed mat on right now. So I've just filled half of it in with dirt so far. We're going to fill in the other half now and then I'm going to put some compost on the top and then mix it through. And then the soil is ready to put the plants in. So I've filled the hole up now. As you can see, you can still see the perimeter around the edges.  And now I'm going to go grab some compost and put that in. And then we're going to mix it up. So it's got some fertilized soil for the plant so it's ready to go. So now that I've popped all the compost on top so I thought that'd be enough. So it's basically on this level with where it was before. As you can see, so now I'm just going to move it around with the spade and just dig it all in so it mixes it together with the soil. And then it's ready for the plants to go in. There we go, all done. And my gosh, I am working up such a sweat like I'm dripping from all that manual labor today. So worth it, like look how beautiful that is. Beautiful in the making anyway. I'm going to add some plants in there now. So I'm going to plant in my herbs and then I'm going to go to one of the nurseries near where we live tomorrow and go pick up some lavender to grow in there. I want to actually start growing herbs and flowering plants and things that you can turn into essential oils. So that is on my big bucket list to do this year. So I'm so, so excited to get started on that. So I'll start growing the lavender to then turn later on into essential oils. And there we go. I just put some old bricks around the perimeter just to make it look a little bit more pretty. You'll see that some of those bricks are from the ones I collected on my trash walks. So I'm reusing some old bricks too, which is like a huge bonus. So this is basically our DIY garden bed. So there you have it. You can pretty much do it up how you like. You could do it with bricks like we did or you can make it even fancier and use some wood. It's very, very nice. So either way, it looks great. So I'm going to finish up here for the night just because it's getting like sunsetty and it's going to get dark soon. So I'll plant the actual plants in tomorrow. Once I've redone the soil a bit better and it's a bit brighter so I can see more. So that'll be for tomorrow's job. So I'll see you guys in the morning. Hey guys, so I'm back.  So I've come out and it's all ready to go. So basically what we did since last soil yesterday evening was we've gotten a bit more of the soil that was around the edges and put that all in. So to build it up to the level of where the bricks are. And then we've got some whole flung dung from our local nursery. As you can see, that's what it looks like inside. We popped that on top and raked that through. So this is actually quite sustainable and it's very nutrient-rich for plants. So it's super healthy for growing new plants in. So I really recommend using that. So as you can see, that's mixed through where all that kind of barky kind of looking soil is. That's what we've done. And then we wet it so to make sure that it's all damp and ready for the new plants to go in. So we wet that a bit to make sure that the soil was absorbing the water making sure it wasn't all dry. And next I've just watered, just finished watering my little herbs here, my clippings of the herbs that I had in my garden before. And I wet them so they're all ready to go to be transplanted. So they're best to be transplanted when the soil is moist, not dry. So they take to the soil better. So I've just finished that. So the soil is damp and they're ready to go. And guess what guys? I'm so tired. I got a lavender plant. So this one is actually French lavender as you can see. So that's what it looks like once it's fully grown. This is actually the last one in the store because everyone seems to be buying lavender at the moment. So I think they had the same idea as me. So I'm going to wait for this to actually flower a bit more because you can see it's only just started. And you can still smell the fragrant scent of lavender on this, but not as strongly as it would be if the flowers were blooming. So I'm going to wait until it grows a bit more, flowers a bit more and then use it in my essential oils in a future video. So do stick around for that. That'll be super, super fun. Can't wait to show you guys. I've been researching how to do it. So this is the one I chose. There are many different types of lavender but this was the one I thought that looks the most common lavender plant that I would usually see. There's so many different types. I might try using different types of lavender in the future but for now I thought I'd start with French lavender. So I'm going to plant that one in soon. I just have to wait for it to soak in for about 20 minutes or so. And then it's ready for me to plant in my lavender in my other herbs over there. Ta-da! Oh my gosh, I'm actually so, so over the moon about how it looks. It looks amazing. So here at the front we have the lavender, the French lavender. Then I've just replanted the rosemary, the thyme, then the modurums just over there at the back. I don't have a sign for that one. Then we have oregano over there and basically all kinds of mint. So at the front, this is our old mint. We had it in our garden around in the corner there. That's where that mint came from but we moved it just because that one was starting to die out a bit over there. So we just moved it round to the side here. So that is that one. I'm not entirely sure which mint that is. Then here we have the lemon mint just here. Beautiful and lush and that's it. That's all the herbs we have so far. I wanna eventually start growing some citronella for mosquitoes and for making more of my bug repelling products and things. So that will be in the near future, hopefully. So yeah, I'm just gonna give them a water now. Once this one's finished, almost done. I'm so psyched with how it's turned out. I'm so over the moon. It looks absolutely incredible. But then I thought it was gonna look so I'm so, so happy with it. Before we wind up this blog, I'll quickly show you the few plants that I've recently planted out the front where my aloe vera plants are. Not just them, but we've started planting broccoli around the front. I'm so excited to use them once they're fully grown. So this is the new aloe vera that a friend gave me. He saw my Instagram post. I did talk about that in a while back. So it's slowly growing. Getting there, it's looking a lot better when I transplanted it. It wasn't too happy, but it's looking so much better now. My normal aloe vera that I've had for about a year and a bit now. A little baby one I planted a while back in my previous video. And then these little broccoli plants, which I've just recently planted in. As you can see, just around the front. Here we are again. Gorgeous girl. So yeah, that pretty much winds up the rest of my vlog. I hope you enjoyed it. It's probably with my favorite garden vlogs that I've done just because I have a bit of a more of an understanding of gardening now. So I feel like I can share a little bit more with you guys. Hope to see you guys in my future videos. And thank you so much for watching and being such an amazing community. I'm so, so grateful. Hope you have a wonderful day and I hope to see you in my future videos. Bye.


What was the name of that album? Traumatized. And you had to clear that as well? Yes, I am. So once you clear it, I see all these different people. I see all this different riffraff going on. It seemed like things went ballistic. I'm being real, because that's no, if you notice every single project that Megan has dropped has always been beef with me right before it happens. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101, 101. Yeah, we gonna talk. Man, like I said, when I seen you the other day you had on the Boss Talk, man, and you were going to some meeting. Boy, I was so happy. I said, boy, I got it back on, man. He repping for me, man. What was that all about? When I had it on, I was getting ready. When I was walking in the office, cause I was getting ready, I was going to deposition practice. Okay, okay. So we just getting ready. Everything going good, winding down?  They did mine. So at some point, she have to do hers. And, you know, we can move forward to try to wrap this thing up. You know, what's going on for years. Was that the last project that she owed you with the last one she done? It was the last project, but we had a dispute about something for the hotties. So that's what we, that's what we, that's what our dispute is about. Cause we didn't consider that an album. Okay, okay.  And just threw them on the, threw them on a project and tried to call it an album. So whenever you have a contract with an artist, is it in detail to say, this is what an album consists of? Yeah, pretty much. We get the contract and it's kind of like, you got to buy it to those, out line. So it does say what? So she knows what it's supposed to be in the album. Exactly. So she just didn't do what she was supposed to do.  Cause it says 43 minutes or whatever. And you just, okay, we got the time on it. That's it. You know, but there's other things that you have to do as well. Okay. So my thing is like, when they first, when that album first came out, I heard the last one that they just done. Right. What was the name of that album? Traumatized. And you had to clear that as well? Yes, I am. So once you clear it, I see all these different people. I see all this different riffraff going on. It seemed like things went ballistic. I'm being real. Oh, because that's, no, if you notice every single, every single project that Megan has dropped has always been beef with me right before it happens. Why? I guess that's part of the marketing strategy that they like to use, you know? So for whatever reason, you know, it's always, it's always beef with me. I gotta ask you, I gotta ask you this, man. Like I've seen things with Sauce Walker. I've seen things with, it was somebody else too. They was talking about doing you a T Ferris, a celebrity boxing match. That was me asking him to do that.  The T Ferris is just a sucker to me, you know? So you want to box it?  I'm gonna do it in take. I'm gonna do it in take. Can you fight? I have to mess with you. Yeah. I can't, I can't. You put them gloves on? I don't see them, you know. So how, I mean, how does that conversation come? You like, man, you just mess around. Like, if you want to do something like boxing or something, we could do it. You know, I go and take it to the ring. I put it on the thing. I put it on the, I put it on the internet. No response. He over there, acting tough around Megan.  I'm just saying, you know, me and him, we both knew each other since 19 years old. Yeah, y'all grew up. We're not gonna do nothing to each other in the streets or nothing like that. You talking to each other and saying that, well, you know, we could just do it the old school way. I know they don't do it like that no more. No, but yeah, yeah. We the me and him the same age. So y'all used to catch y'all, we'll get into it, you know, Z-Roy and Trey got into it. So I know y'all will fight it out and try to figure it out. But I, you know, making it something that everybody gotta know about sometimes. You pay the money to pay the proceeds to your favorite charity in Houston, you know? That's it. And they said, they talking about, we need to have them two cars on the same, them two fights on the same car.  That'll be hard, man. I said, I'll pay for it. That might start a trend. I'll pay for it. I'll pay for it. That's what I'm saying. Would you pay for it? That's what I'm saying. It might start a trend where if anybody have any beef like that, that's the best way to go with it and just make some money at the same time. I had Jake Paul and told him to help me out, you know, set it up for me. What, did you hear about it, bro? I don't even, nah, it ain't like that.


And now, tonight's presentation of Radio's outstanding Theatre of Thrills, Suspense. Tonight, the story of how perhaps the smallest of items can be the cause of unbelievable terror and hardship. In this case, the lack of a little loose change. So now, with Harry Bartell as Clark, here is tonight's suspense play, Chicken Feed. All right, it was a silly thing to fight over, I admit it.  Chicken Feed. Junior asked for a nickel and I flipped it over to him and Mary said I shouldn't spoil the kid. It was time he learned the value of money and I said, great, Scott, if I couldn't give my own child a nickel without her jumping down my throat, well, you know how those things get going. You keep saying things you shouldn't and she lashes out with an answer. And before you know it, you've stormed out of the house and you're taking it out on the car. Fifty miles cooled me down a little, but nothing much. I automatically slowed up when I came to the sign you're now entering Lansing, California. Go slow and see our town, go fast and see our jail. Driving through the quiet Sunday street gave me time to think of something besides the biting words Mary and I had slugged at each other. I pulled up a little cafe next to the police station. It had a whitewash sign on the window. Best cup of coffee in town for five cents. I went in. Mr. Brady? Too over easy, Sam, heavy on the pride. What's yours, mister? Coffee, please. Coming up. What's your starboard? Well, Phillip, they're coming for him in the morning. Think you'll be able to hold until then? You got out of that Bennington jail like a paper bag. Don't worry, mister. Phillip won't get out of it. I listened to them with half an ear while I sip my coffee. There was a stack of the local papers nearby and I pulled one over to look at. This Phillips was on the front page. Bank robber killed a teller. He had a face I wouldn't want to run into, close. After a while, the hot coffee made me feel better. Maybe I'd been at fault as much as Mary. She wasn't the only one who had a bad temper. On a sudden impulse, I left my coffee and went over the phone on the far wall. I heard the dial tone, then I fished in my pocket for change. It was empty. Say, Miss, could you change a dollar for me? I want to use a phone. Yes, sir. What's the matter, mister? My wallet. I seem to... Look, I'll be back in a minute. I wasn't the only one with a temper. I'd stormed out of the house without changing the contents of my pockets to the suit I was wearing. I didn't have a dime on me, not a nickel. I rummaged in the glove compartment. Mary sometimes left the coin purse, but this time, naturally, it wasn't there. What seems to be the trouble, mister? Oh, officer, I seem to have come off without my money. Embarrassing. Yeah. I didn't realize it until I tried to phone. Where's your driver's license? It's in my wallet in San Francisco. Got any other identification? Well, the registration slip on the car. That's the car. What about you? Look, officer, I'm Ralph Clark, Clark and Jacobs in the Hatfield building. We're attorneys. And afar from home to be without any dough, aren't you? Well, I came out of the house without changing the stuff into this suit. You know how that happens. How do you happen to have the keys to the car? I don't take them out when it's in the garage. Say, you don't think... What were you headed for? Well, I know it sounds funny, but nowhere, really.  I'll tell you what, Mr. Clark, suppose we just mosey over to the station. Station? Say, what is it? Nothing. Nothing at all. Just next door and you can call your wife from there. Well, I don't see why that's necessary. If you just lend me the money, I could call here and reverse the charges. We'll go. You can leave the car here. I'll take that key. Now, look here, officer. I don't get that. Move. Come on, move. Tell you better after he makes a call. Give me the phone, will you, Rod? That's out of order. When did that happen, Argo? I reported it. They said they can't have a man here before tomorrow. Well, did you tell them this is a police station for Pete's sake? Sure, I told them. Not bad, though. We get incoming calls. We've still got the nickel snatcher over there. Here's the pay form, Mr. Clark. You can make your call from there. I don't have any money, remember? Okay, here's the nickel. A nickel? That's all it takes in this town. Let me get your water, please. Let me speak to your wife when you get it. This is going to sound fine. Just fine. She'll think I've really tied one on. Operator. Operator, I want to call San Francisco. Fillmore 60098. And reverse the charges, please. Thank you. Your number, please. This is 460. Collect calls from Lansing, California for Fillmore 60098. Will you accept it? Lansing? Well, I don't know where... It's me, Mary. Take the call. Oh, it's you, isn't it? What do you think you're doing, 55? Will you accept the call, madam? I should say not. Very high, dear. Mary, wait. Hey! I'm sorry. The party will not accept the call. Look, Operator, get her back with you. This is important. I'll ring them again. Well, that's a sweet heart. She's there, the little... Why didn't she pick up that phone? Your party doesn't answer. Oh, soap, huh? Hey, they kept our nickel. Let me have another one, will you? I'll get hold of my partner. He'll identify. Look, we've wasted enough time. Come on in here. You're locking me up, right? What's a big idea? I'm holding you on suspicion. Suspicion of what? Defrauding the cafe for one thing. Then I want to check that car. You think I stole it? It's been done. Oh, now wait. If you let me phone... You're entitled to one call you've had. Now, look here, Officer. Inside. Jail. Jail, all on account of a measly nickel. It allows a stinking nickel. You see, a jig. That's too bad, ain't it, Pete? We could help you out. Maybe we can. Have you got a nickel? Sure. I got three of them. Will you lend me one? Just one. What's it worth to get some? I'll send you $10. From pie in the sky. Hey, my wrist watch. What's the matter with it? Nothing's a matter with it. It's worth $50. Here, you fool, look at it. It's yours for five cents for one measly nickel. What can you lose? Is it hot? You mean stolen? Of course not. What are you offering it for a nickel for? I want to get out of this felting place. Oh, so you don't like our company, is that it? No, ain't that just too bad? What do you think of that, Mr. Phillips? You don't like it. Have you got any nickels, Mr. Phillips? I followed his glance. The first time I saw deep in the gloom of the locked cubicle the face that I'd seen on the front page of the newspaper. The face I'd said I wouldn't want to run into. Close. Well, it was close, and I was glad there were bars between us. Mr. Phillips here, he's a big shot. Robbed four banks and broke out of two jails. Killed a man, too. Sure, we're just vags. But, Mr. Phillips, he's going to the hot seat. They're coming to get him and take him back to Utah and burn him. Ain't that right, Mr. Phillips? Mr. Phillips don't want to talk about it. Mr. Phillips don't want to talk about nothing. Mr. Phillips ain't very sociable. Just like this. Now, look, fellas, I want to get out of this jail. Here, take the watch and give me that nickel, huh? Tell you what, I'll match you for it. Match me? Yeah, nickel against the watch. Well, take it or leave it. All right. Leave Pete hold the watch. I'll flip the nickel on the floor. You call. Head. Tails. I win. Hey, wait a minute. Get your foot off it. How do you know it's tails? It's tails, ain't it, Pete? Sure it's tails. Here's the watch, then. Hey, what is this? Watch it, brother. Well, you're not going to get away with this. Get it. Ow! Officer, it ain't nothing. There's no guy as acting up as all. Quiet down in there. You're trying to get us in trouble, huh? No. No. Look, fellas, for heaven's sake.   Yeah. Maybe Mr. Phillips will be defense attorney. You want him, Mr. Phillips? He don't want him. Prisoner at the bar, stand up. I said stand up. Now cut it out. I... Counselor, what's the prisoner charged with?  He's charged with breaking into jail, insulting his fellow boarders, forced sportsmanship, and fights. A very dangerous character, Your Honor. Yeah, guilty on all counts. Prisoner, have you anything to say before I pronounce sentence? No? Okay. I find you five cents. Hand it over. You know I haven't got it. Can't pay, huh? Well, then you can work it out. Raider, one cent a day. Your first job will be to shine the court's shoes. Shine your own shoes. Oh, so he's going to be like that, huh? Hold them slim. Officer! Officer! Oh! The price down in there. I'll get on them shoes. It was unbelievable the filthy and human jobs they could think up for me to do. And with every move I made, I could feel the glittering steely eyes of Phillips, the silent man in the locked cage next to me, following me, weighing me. And then he winked at me and nodded his head as over a signal. And then his two huge arms came through the bars and thrust me reeling across the cell and I fell and hit my head. And that's all I remember. The show's outstanding theater of thrills, suspense. Thursday night on Night Watch, a CBS radio police recorder goes right along in the prowl car with actual police. There's nothing added to the truth, nothing subtracted from it when Night Watch tells its stories. Don't miss it later tonight on most of these stations. And now we bring back to our Hollywood soundstage Harry Bartel as Clark in tonight's production of Chicken Feed, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. When I felt the stealthy touch on my shoulder, I opened my eyes. I was still on the stone floor and Phillips was bending over me, holding a revolver.  You wanna wake them punks? Get up quick. I glanced quickly at Phillips' cell. It was open and so was the door to mine. We walked to the front desk. They're bound and gagged securely, Sergeant Ross Clare. Here. Which is the key to your car? This one. Okay. Take it and let's move. Where's the car? Over there. You drive. The guy could spring that crock with a hairpin. You nearly done a fine job of louching things up. What happened to you getting thrown in the can in the middle of the day? They picked me up on suspicion. Well, I wasn't supposed to be able midnight tonight. What? And all that phony kid stuff about the nickel. Yeah.  Served you right to wear them luscious treatages. I thought I was an accomplice. Sent by a partner to help him break jail. And all my screams about a nickel had been nothing but a signal to him. A signal that I came from Jerry Nichols. Jerry, got the hideout set up? Uh, yeah. What? The hideout? The hideout. We're going to Jerry's place first, right? Then what? Well, I'll take you to Jerry's. And then he'll take over from there. How far is it to Jerry's? Well, hey, look behind you. What's the matter? There's a car following us without lights. Where? I don't see... What the... Say, what's a big idea? You trying to cross me?  It's flooded. I'm getting that lit car passes. You make to the other side are no tricks. Just to make sure I'll take this key. Remember... I had made myself a chance and I took it. I slipped out of the car on the other side and ran across the fields until I could run no more. After an interminable two miles I found a road and after a while a dark shape loomed up before me a gas station. And through the glass I could make out the outline of a telephone. I tried the door. It was locked, of course, but I found a tire iron and sprang the latch. I ran to the phone and almost threw myself on it before I saw it was a pay phone. In a rage I shook the black box. There must be some money in this room. My eyes focused on a battered desk. There was some change in it. I took a nickel. It kept me San Francisco. Sutter 15994. Thank you. It'll be a slight delay, sir. I'll hold on. But hurry, operator, it's important. One moment, please. Far down the road the headlights of a car jockled over the rise and aimed toward me. I hung up the receiver, closed the cash drawer, snapped the lock on the door. Then I crouched beneath the desk. The cops running out of gas in the middle of the night. Hey, come on in. It's chilly with the door open. But don't tell me. How'd you do that? Well, it was two of them. He had an accomplice. So he was a lawyer. We found their car abandoned on the road back at Ferris's Hopfield. Ran out of gas. It can't be far away. Hmm. Big reward for Philip's after he broke jail at Bennington, wasn't it? Yeah. Thousand dollars. Hey, you know him, don't you? You were in the Bennington poke when he did that break. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we used roommates for a night. I was pretty scared. How'd he do it? The break? Well, I don't know. I was sleeping it off. It's a thousand-dollar reward, huh? Don't you go getting any ideas now. That Philip is a killer, and so does his partner, most likely. Well, I ain't exactly helpless myself. Got me a nice little feller in my side ear. You take my advice, Chumman. Put the gun away. And show up here. You talk soft and let us do the capture. Sure, sure. I'll play safe. Well, we'll be gone. Just wanted to alert you, Jerry. Yeah, well, thanks. So long, boys. Look, Mr. I... I'll do the talking. Who are you? You've got to believe me. I'm not a criminal. I'm a lawyer. Oh, yeah. You must be that other one. Hey, keep them hands up. Now, where's Phillips? I left him in the car. Now, that's another thing. You can get the reward. I know who he's going to meet, and they're going to a hideout. Who's she going to meet? Somebody named Jerry Nichols. There. Now, if you let me get to that phone, I can clear everything up. No, you don't. You stay right where you are. I have a partner, my law partner in San Francisco. I only broke in here so I could phone him and he'll identify me. You don't believe me? Yeah, I believe you all right. Then what? Answer it yourself. You'll see. Yeah, not on your life, Mr. where you think I'm out of my mind. But you've got to answer it. Jerry, you don't know what I went through to place that call. You can't just stand there. You're Jerry Nichols. Yeah, that's right. So you see it. Jerry! Jerry! You stand over there where you can't see it. Jerry! Yeah, come on in, Phillips. That just made me $1,000. You're worse than he is.  Maybe I can get a reward for you, too. A small one. I landed my side just below the belt in the avenues of pain spread out like the cracks in a hammered window. But somehow, strangely, it didn't stop me. I kept moving toward him. He backed away surprised. He was aiming for another shot when we got him. He got the gun and he got my throat. He fell backwards over the chair and I was on top of him. As we thrashed around on the floor, I brought his hand up suddenly and smashed his own g- I got up gasping for breath and then I realized that that I was all right. Yet he'd shot me, hit me. I should be lying there on the plank floor instead of that grotesque heap in the shapeless flannel nightgown. I felt my side where the bullet had struck. Brought my hand away. There was no blood on it. There should be blood. I touched the spot again, fingered the contour of something small and round. I pulled it out of my watch pocket, battered where the slug had struck it. That almost doubled. Nickel. Nickel. I'm the 20th part of a doc. All a man needed to buy a cup of coffee to make a phone call to pay a fine in the kangaroo corn. To save his life. And I'd had it all the time. I'd had it all the time. Francisco, shall I connect you, sir? Yeah, honey. But first, get the Lansing police station will you operate. Lansing police. Yeah.  You're gonna live. I'm gonna be in court with you. Yeah, I wouldn't give a plug nickel for your chance. Fine photographer has now heard Friday nights on CBS Radio.

So, with me today is Pete Garretano, and we're going to talk a little bit first about what he sees and what I see is happening here to our institutions, our economy, our constitution as the coronavirus still is mounting in our state. So, hi, Pete. What's going on? Well, like you said, the cases are rising and the deaths in Vermont, unfortunately, and we've made national news lately not a really great thing to make the news for because we have the highest case rate in the country one week, and actually that same week, Florida had the lowest case rate in the country, so I think, yeah, what we're here to talk about is, and I've gone to a bunch of the meetings, town meetings about the masking and a lot of people are voicing the same concerns that if it's not working, somebody admitted, let's try something different because we've killed businesses, there's so much collateral damages going on, suicides are up, drug overdoses are up, child abuse is up, wife abuse is up, and this has all been written about in many, many publications. This is not a secret, the damage from the lockdowns and the masking is much worse than what's happening from the COVID, and pretty much everybody admits this now and that's just ongoing, and you notice it in the courts, but we also, we can look around and see that there's states that aren't, are done with this and have said, okay, let's go back to what we were doing before, and they're actually doing just fine, and they're not only doing fine, but their economy's booming in places like Texas and Florida. Colorado too, yesterday. Colorado, and people that watch TV have been watching football games for the last three months, where there's been 100,000 people in the stands that are unmasked, who knows if they're vaccinated, because they're certainly not checking people's vaccine cards in Alabama at a football game, and they haven't had any big outbreaks, contrary to what our experts, Dr. Fauci, keeps insisting they're going to happen. It's not happening, in fact, cases down south since the beginning of football season, I looked up Alabama, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana have all been plummeting, and so we have people going to tailgate parties, going to restaurants, going to football games, all unmasked, and here, we're having a town meeting to decide if five people can go into a store without a mask on, it makes no sense. I wanted to talk to you a little bit more about that, actually, but you mentioned something else, which I've seen over and over, and it scares me, frankly, and that is what's happening in some of our real primary institutions of our society. For instance, in the courts, it is so difficult since the courts closed to get cases, especially for poor people, adjudicated. For instance, criminal jury trials, they would have been stopped in places, which means people linger in jail for months on end before they're convicted of any crime. That's all pre-trial. They can't have visits. It was an outbreak, by the way, recently in one of our prisons, and it's a thoroughly vaccinated environment. Everybody in the prisons, staff and so forth, have to be vaccinated, and yet there's all these break-through cases, which means further kind of punishment on the prisoners there, and those people are in general, a lot of them, pre-trial. They have not been convicted of any crime, and that's a general breakdown, I believe, in the rule of law, including in the national level. For instance, when President Biden issued a vaccine mandate for employers over 100, remember that? The courts stopped him from doing that and said he doesn't have the power. This, to me, is a real constitutional crisis, and yet he has said over and over, do it anyway. Do it anyway, and that occurred even in New York City, where people who are unvaxxed can't really even go in a restaurant anymore without a certificate, right? Right, and at some point, yeah, I mean, he's overstepping his bounds, but there's been so much press about the danger and the transmissibility and everything else that people are hooked into this belief that everything that they've been told is true, but currently pretty much all the things that people were saying a year ago have been proven by data to not be true, and I don't mean scientific experiments, I mean actual data of what's happening out there in the world. Okay, wait a minute. Now, you basically study this every morning, don't you? Pretty much, yes.  It concerns me and it's very interesting. I started doing it last March actually. When it started happening, right? I started looking into all the stuff and mainly reading medical journals and the CDC's journal, you know, publications and WHO and now the state of Vermont. And at this point, now some of these things have just become outright lies. I mean, I'm not going to call names, but when you have this, I'm going to call out the city of Burlington, who in their proclamation for mandates made the statement that breakthrough cases were rare. This is absolutely not true. They're common. Rare in medical terms is something that's one in a thousand to one in 10,000. Breakthrough cases right now in Vermont are as common as regular cases. So that's not, I mean, I've thought that this just statistics say that breakthrough cases are about a third or not. They're 34% in Vermont in the last three months. Okay. But still, that doesn't constitute rare by any stretch of it. No, I know. I know. It's to be accurate. They're common.  And I think it's also in Montpelier because they know we've had 10, 9,000 breakthrough cases and they know that these people are just as transmissible and they can give it to others. But meanwhile, we have people, there's 20 businesses in Burling that you want a vaccine pass to get in. So I don't, this is, this is, like I said, this is science denial. This is like vaccine misinformation or whatever you want to call it because what I asked somebody the other day is, so you're okay if a vaccinated person comes into your restaurant and gives somebody the disease, but you just don't want an unvaccinated person to come and give it to them because you're just as likely to encounter somebody on the street that's vaccinated that has COVID as unvaccinated. There was last month in Massachusetts, there were one week in Massachusetts, December 1st and December 7th, there were 11,000 breakthrough cases in one week. There's been 65,000 in Massachusetts. There's been 80,000 in New York. So there's hundreds of thousands of these in our general area. There's people crossing over the border. Then we might only have these signs that say vaccinated only. It makes no sense. There's no medical or epidemiological reason to have any segregation between vaccinated and unvaccinated. In fact, I mean, so that everybody's getting it? Everybody's getting it. Yeah. I mean, the state is showing that's what the state of Vermont data, the state of Massachusetts, this is right off their website, the state of New York. And the other issue here is what I ask is when did these vaccinated people become unvaccinated? And apparently, the answer to that is about three months, because New York also did a study which is posted on the CDC's website, where they took their 10,000 breakthrough cases and they asked them how when did you get vaccinated? Well, the average time that they got infected after vaccination was less than three months, which means the vaccine for the average person didn't even last three months. Okay, so we're talking about a six month booster, but that's apparently not soon enough. So in other words, what you're seeing from what you're reading from the CDC website and is that essentially, I guess that immunity fails after a certain point of time if you're vaccinated, that it fails. South Korea has just recommended boosters every three months because they notice every three months. They're having a huge outbreak and they are like Vermont. They are one of the most vaccinated countries in the world and they are also the most mass country in the world. So they have 95% masking and pretty close to the same amount of vaccination and they're having their biggest outbreak of the whole pandemic, kind of like Vermont is. So they've looked at the data and said, well, gosh, it looks like it's only lasting three months. Okay. All right. So tell, okay. So but you also said, as I said to that, that there are a series of town meetings, correct? And that you went to a Shelburne one and the question, let's go back a little bit. Governor Scott has refused to refused essentially to declare a statewide mask mandate. Thank you, Governor Scott. Yeah. And he turned those decisions over to the local towns and villages. And there were numbers of town meetings in which the people voted or their representatives voted to do a mask mandate or not. And you kind of kept track of all that. Well, I've been watching and trying to stop reporting on it. But at last count, you went to the Shelburne one. The Shelburne ensure a lot. At last count, there's way more that said no to the mask mandate and they didn't see yes, which doesn't really surprise me. I assume the only ones that would say yes would be Burlington, Montpelier and a few other did they? Burlington did in Montpelier did. But the big retail areas so far from what I can tell South Oregon, Williston have not. And actually the last time I went shopping yesterday in South Burlington, signs were all off the big stores, meaning the big grocery stores and the hardware stores. There wasn't even a sign asking you to wear a mask. If you weren't vaccinated, there were no signs whatsoever about. Did you visit a lot of these stores? I went to I went to Lowe's and I went to Hanifords. Deliberately South Burlington. Yeah, I was shopping. I know, but then I noticed I took a double take because it's been what a year since you didn't see something about the mask or COVID on the stores and there was nothing on either store. So there was though a vote in South Burlington, correct? Right. And the vote said that public buildings had to be masks, but everybody else decided for themselves. So apparently these large stores decided for themselves were done with masks. Why do you suppose they didn't want to have to enforce it probably right? I was interesting because I ran into a worker at one of the stores which were requiring masks. And he said the difficulty his store didn't want to do it. And the difficulty was it puts the store in the very uncomfortable position of enforcement. Right. Right. And that was a lot of the testimony at the town meetings were business owners that didn't want to have to have to ask their teenage employees to confront adults about wearing a mask. We had a hard enough time getting help. And they didn't want to do that. So yeah, I mean, that that's part of the thing. By the way, did you see yesterday they had lines in the free press which said that this mask mandates on buses were causing fights, physical fights. Doesn't surprise me and people. I mean, people aren't happy about it. I'm not happy about it. It makes I testified.  And my doctor told me, well, that's because you're trapping germs in the mask. And that's one of the big fallacies of the whole mass thing is that these masks are not meant to be worn for two or four hours in hospitals and in doctors. They they they throw them away. They don't even clean them. Okay. And what they recommend is people read, throw them away or boil them in water. Nobody's doing that. So you're trapping germs in it and you're touching it. And most of the data shows the places that are highly masked had had worse outbreaks in places that weren't. I mean, all the most masked countries are Italy, Spain, the United States, and they're way up there in cases. And and all of Africa has nothing going on. And they want to get to that. Yeah, they have 5% masking and have about 5% vaccines.  Even though they're very poor country to know they're very poor country. And I'm guessing their hospitals aren't as good as ours. But I could be wrong. Maybe there's just something I don't know. Maybe they just have spectacular health care facilities.  But anyway, so let's get back to these town meetings because that's direct. I would guess that town meetings are an example of direct democracy, right, where people really have a chance to talk. And so when you were in Shelburne, what was the atmosphere? What was the attitude? I went to the Burlington one, by the way, to late. But the Burlington one about mask mandates was totally tumultuous. Just people yelling at each other. But anyway, what happened? The majority of people there opposing it. Because the majority of Charlottes and Shelburne, the majority of the people opposed the mask mandate. Okay. And so what happened? Well, it was they were very calm. Was it civil? Oh, yeah. I mean, there was only 15, 20 people at each one. And one doctor test, two doctors testified at one testified, you know, spoke at one and in a couple business owners and then just people that said a lot of the same things. Look, it's time to do something different because this isn't working. You know, we've been doing this for a year and it's so well more than a year and it's shown no improvement. And I mean, since we're talking about masks, I mean, you know, Vermont has made the news and and the graph of the United States is pretty much the same. This here shows Vermont's cases the last year, mask mandate, and then a big surge when we were 85 percent mask. We removed the mask here. It went down again. Vaccines hit. It went up again. So you can draw whatever conclusion you want from that. But that's the that's the way the data looks in pretty much every everywhere in the United States is that especially in the north. We're all masked. And I was talking about South Korea. 95 percent mask, a surge went away. Vaccine, a surge. And and there's there's two or three websites. You can you can look up every country in the world and look at these statistics here. I mean, I'm not going to keep showing you these, but here's other countries that show where the mask was put in place and then the surge afterwards. And so we keep insisting that mask works and people are showing you all these studies that have been done in scientific stuff. You can throw it all out the window and this is real world stuff. This is what has been happening around the world. And I actually couldn't find a single country anywhere where the when the mask went into place, COVID went away. It just didn't happen. And one of the funnier ones, somebody printed out from the CDC's website, November 19th of 2020, all the cases in the United States. So this is when the first surge occurred and pretty much the whole United States was about 85 percent masking. Some of the interior is left, but the coastlines are more. Well, here's a year later, and it looks exactly the same. So after a year of masking and vaccines, our case surge looks exactly the same. So people are saying it's working. I have a hard time agreeing with that when you look at stuff like this. What do you mean by working? I think people think it's working in that they hope in a way that this will bring cases down and that they can go back to normal life. So in your research that does not appear to be the case, right? Well, I would like people to think about it, have a big critical thinker and look at this too.  CDC is the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. There's another one called COVID-19 health data, which is by, I want to say Carnegie Mellon will actually show you the masks. We'll show you more stuff and you can line it up and you can compare states, which is what I did with the southern states and New England right now, because New England's having an outbreak. The southern states are all doing really great and the southern states have less vaccines, less masking. In fact, they're not masking at all and the northern states still have it. So you look at those things, then you go, hmm, you know, be a critical thinker. What you're asking those for people to use their own. Use your head and don't keep listening to these experts who have been wrong over and over and over again. I mean over and over and over. I mean Dr. Fauci, somebody called him in the press the other day, the wrongest person that's ever been wrong. And yeah, you can look back at statements they've made. The vaccine will be 100% effective. It will keep anybody from getting it. It'll keep anybody from spreading it. What they really say, though, that hospitalizations will be down and right? Well, in the beginning, they said none of this was going to happen and now they keep changing their story, but it's not even remotely true anymore, you know, about cases, about hospitalization, about deaths, because the deaths are going up and up and up. What I'm also shocked about is that as this system, in a way, continues, our society is being so affected by it, the consequences of the shutdowns, the lockdowns, the consequences are really severe if you look at places like where the opioid crisis is huge too. Oh yeah. And suicides are way up. And crime. And crime. Right. Which I don't, I mean there's no direct cause and effect, but the society itself, our society, is having huge problems that we have not seen before. Not that I remember, and I'm old.  I mean, like a form of it. I mean, all the therapists I know said their business has just gone crazy. Up. I hate to say crazy. Their business is really, right, doubled or tripled. They can't even handle the people. And this is, I wish I had my mask. This is because of this. It's not because of COVID. People need to see faces. They need to see people laugh and smile. And they need to see people talking. Especially children. To me, it's a crime that we're masking children when children have virtually no chance of dying from this disease. But it's been pushed in their everybody's head that this is a dangerous thing. Five year olds. Five year olds. Even though the CDC and even though the Pfizer drug test showed there was no difference whatsoever between a vaccinated child and an unvaccinated child. I just wanted to mention something also because the unvaxed are really being put in a category, which can only mean that people are going to, as they say and won't culture other them, make them into this disease vector of other people that deserve no real respect in our society. And I've seen that over and over that we are dividing society into those people who are vaccine and those who are not with great deal of punishment toward the people and blame toward people who are not back. And there's no basis for science right now. There's absolutely none because once once again you can get you can get COVID from a vaccinated person. I've had four people in my car in the last two weeks that all your taxi cab driver. I had that all had COVID and all had breakthrough cases and it was all in a short amount of time. So this if I had four people in my car in two weeks then it's all over the place and we have nine to 10,000 in Vermont and that's probably way underreported. All this stuff is underreported. I mean there was a nurse we know that got on from UVM and was complaining that the doctors didn't want to report vaccine injuries. And so I mean that's another thing is we're being told the vaccine is effective and it's obviously not effective. I mean yes. Not effective certainly against variants. Well it's not it's not it's effective against transmission. It's I mean our cases are through the roof and we're and we're at 95 percent. So how anybody can look at that and say it's doing well. Let's put it this way. This vaccine would have never been approved if what we were seeing now is presented as the data back in December of last year. We're seeing about a 50 percent effectiveness. We're seeing transmission. We're seeing people get hospitalized and people dying and it only lasts three months. So if Pfizer had come out and said okay we've got we've got something for you but it's probably only going to last three months and you probably can still get it. You can probably still transmit it. You can probably still die from it. It would have never been approved. But they told us I mean their data said the exact opposite thing. So right now we know this is not not true. In fact injuries are you know according to VAERS which which I look at all the time. You should say what VAERS is the is vaccine adverse event recording system. And that's where the government our government is through the government and the CDC has been around 25 years and the that the injuries from this vaccine that have been reported are 100 times worse than any vaccine ever that's been produced and marketed and and we keep hearing of that safe and effective. Well first of all the the pharmaceutical industry testified to get immunity from prosecution by saying vaccines are inherently unsafe. Okay so the vaccine isn't safe. This particular one is the most unsafe that's ever been produced. It's not even approved. Well it's not really even approved. Pfizer is. Pfizer is. The latest this is right off the government's website. So we have 20,000 deaths. We have 12,000 in the world or in the United States. Okay. 20 12,000 reports of myocarditis which is very very common money on people to neurological problems 20,000 and 950,000 adverse events reported so far. And and you know there's a disclaimer at the bottom of this saying that doesn't mean that the vaccine caused the death. That's true. But I but all you have to do is go on the VAERS website which you can do start reading some of the reports which I printed out a couple of the people that have died like the moment they took the vaccine and and you won't believe that the vaccine didn't cause it and of course their their relatives don't believe you know believe it either. In fact there's even comments underneath of some of these reports you know that that from doctors and from the from the people saying the vaccine probably killed them. You know so you can go on and find out the age of the person you can just punch in a state find out the age and it'll it'll say like I printed a bunch that they died pretty much the moment after they got the vaccine and the reports all would happen they had a heart attack and and and died and so you know if I'm a healthy person that's 30 years old and I take a some kind of medication and I have a heart attack within five minutes after that I'm sorry. Right right right you're going to assume that right. I personally think that that that's the way it was but okay so before we go I did want to comment on some of the legal issues that are going on also with that with the travel ban and with the Biden administration is there something else that you wanted to well yeah I want to just read a little bit about this the surgeon general our surgeon general no the surgeon general Florida who seems to have common sense okay so Florida is a case study in a way that the cases are coming down right right right okay and they've they've had very few restrictions in Florida correct correct I've been there three times and this is a statement that you that you right so they they recently appointed a Harvard educated African man as their new surgeon general and this is he made a statement to the press two weeks ago and this is very interesting because he said I wish I had written his name down I'm quite sorry as we know these vaccines are not preventing transmission sure they reduced the likelihood of transmission even that is sort of questionable depending on how far out you go but they're not preventing it I've heard some leaders say things like we'll create safe workplaces by mandating these vaccines well they're really decoupled because the infective can still happen whether people are vaccinated or not I mean it's very obvious you remember these people are also telling you that all these breakthrough infections are rare well they're obviously not rare in fact they're common so this idea that the vaccine mandates are needed to create safe workplace is a complete lie it's continued to be you said that yeah it's continued to be repeated and you should know that it's not at all backed up by science in fact the science says something that's completely the opposite and this is the surgeon general of florida part of the reason that some people are not comfortable with these vaccines is because of the climate of scientific dishonesty about the vaccine whether it's natural immunity denial of that in the face of data or in the case of the vaccines open honest discussions about both effectiveness and safety there's been dishonesty around that the reality of how safe these vaccines are is absolutely not public healthy people have had adverse reactions after reaction there's been a concerted effort to prevent these types of stories these experiences from receiving the attention that they obviously should receive it's completely ridiculous but that's the surgeon general of florida which of course in our blue state florida is not particularly the bad guys right part of the bad guys florida is of course a red state but business is booming down there they're inviting firefighters and police I was surprised to see so many businesses are moving from california to places like texas texas and florida and i think our governor frankly has been very aware of that and therefore i believe that he's been incredibly cautious in his approach to restrictions requirements and so forth and he turned over those decisions to the towns and it seems like in a more or less democratic fashion that's the first democratic input we've had during this whole whole it does seem like the towns have rejected some of these major restrictions about masks before we leave we only have a couple more minutes left I did want to mention about south africa southern africa as well south africa is a nation within africa but southern africa the president recently said because of an omicron variant which seems to be breaking out that there should be travel bans across all of southern africa and that those people cannot come here and i'm so surprised because there's so little COVID there according to any statistics there's no COVID in places like Mozambique or Namibia and yet those people can't come here it's very worrisome because that of course is a country with many many poor people with mostly black people and the president is somehow getting away with saying that they can't come here it's and it's shocked it's kind of shocking to me because right well it goes it's just as I is it being challenged in the court I don't even know do you who would challenge it well they challenge the muslim man yeah I guess that but that's because Donald Trump did in that body I don't know well I don't know I mean why the contradiction I don't get it you know and because and I feel very sympathetic to southern Africa because they're basically poor people and they're basically brown people and black people who who probably feel very punished by all this with no particular reason they have not had huge outbreaks of COVID correct right and this kind of goes back to what I was saying before that the total ridiculous policy that's not based on science that we'll let people from let's say who's having a big surge right now England the people from England can come here as long as they've been vaccinated which means nothing because there's because England is a surge is England is surging right right tens of thousands of people in England have had vaccines and COVID also so we'll let those people in but in Africa where they've had virtually no COVID but they've had four cases of Omicron more than four though okay well it doesn't matter if there's a hundred I know there's ten thousand there's been millions of infected people in Europe and they're all allowed to come here anyway I'm just wanting people to really think about the differences between that policy and the differences as you say of Europeans Europeans can come here and that's where Omicron is really burgeoning it seems to me well they would have used the R word of Trump yeah I know but we're not gonna do that I don't I'm not gonna label it I'm just suggesting that this whatever this policy is has adverse effects on black people even in this country even in this country once again the policy is not working you know there's a thing well the travel ban is working to keep Africans out that's for sure which I don't want I mean you know I don't know what the I don't know why they're doing it I don't know why back to mask briefly too I mean all these countries that are highly mastered and poorly I could not I could not find one country that was under 50% masking that was in the top 75 worst COVID that's per thousand yeah all the ones that were the lowest masking rate also were down the bottom so so what you're saying in close is that look at stuff think about it oh yeah look at stuff think about it but also realize that doing the same thing over and over again it's not it doesn't work be working and now we should think this through a little bit and that's what the governor Colorado did yesterday right I know I saw that that was great he's a democrat now we'll you know he maybe he's fed up with it you know he's fed up with it so I think I'm gonna wear a mask wear a mask if you want to get a vaccine get a vaccine that's my look no but you also say clearly we're going back to normal yeah well that's we're just we're through with it we're going back to normal there's too much collateral damage yeah I know too many people that have lost their businesses almost lost their businesses I know I ran into one yesterday especially but small businesses small businesses small businesses all right so maybe next month we'll be here and we hope to see you again at that time thanks for listening
