Live from San Juan, Puerto Rico, it's theCUBE. Covering Blockchain Unbound. Brought to you by Blockchain Industries. Okay, hello everyone, I'm John Furrier. We are reporting on the ground here in Puerto Rico for Blockchain Unbound, it's a global conference of leaders from around the world who are coming into Puerto Rico with the local entrepreneurs, with the local ecosystem to talk about the future of the digital nations in the world, digital transformation, obviously cryptocurrency, blockchain, all the people are here, theCUBE is here as part of our 2018 kickoff of all the crypto blockchain shows. My next guest here in theCUBE is Gustavo Diaz-Scoff, who's the founder and president of the Young Entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico Society. Also heavily involved in the ecosystem. Thanks for speaking with me. Thank you. So what's going on here in Puerto Rico? Obviously we just talked with Michael Angelo, who's the co-founder of EduBlock, but we're talking about a whole transformation going on in Puerto Rico. What's the young culture like? What's the old guard say? I mean, our people, what's going on? What's the mindset? What's going on in Puerto Rico? We know the hurricane that hit, but again, looking past that, what's the cultural vibe right now in Puerto Rico? I think the cultural vibe right now is that there's a little bit of hesitation, but at the same time, there's a lot of excitement. Events that, for example, the one that we're hosting yesterday, Lot 23, that brought the local and the visiting communities together actually clear up and lowered those agitations and actually bonded and brought more energy into the whole push. I think that is the overarching vibe here in the island. It's just like, awesome, something's happening. We don't know quite yet what it is, but there is a historical narrative of the island, and there is definitely a very bullish view of the island. So what's really going on here is that people are excited, but you've got the whole world descending upon Puerto Rico. We were at the lot last night with the party. We put out a nice sizzle reel this morning, but the vibe was awesome. People were dancing, a lot of people smiling. You were there? We were there. We just put them up on our Telegram channel. I was the organizer of it. Congratulations, really awesome. Thank you. Outside, nice weather, things were great, but it really is about the cross-pollination, about the culture of Puerto Rico. Maintaining the culture in Puerto Rico seems to be the top story that we hear from folks here. Yes, we like to bring in the industry, but don't tell us what to do. We're Puerto Rico. Don't stomp on our land. I mean, I'm not being perspic, but I mean, there's kind of a vibe like, look at Puerto Rico is proud, but that's got to translate into execution. What's the young guns doing? So this is a reality in terms of like, what the young guns are doing. And sadly, sometimes it's a very sad story. And the reality is like, when you look at the World Economic Forum's competitiveness reports, we have the sixth largest conglomeration of trained scientists and engineers in the world.  But at the same time, we have 90% of them being unemployed or unemployed because we don't have like, technology companies are actually requesting and demanding that type of knowledge. And so that's where we're actually failing in terms of execution, because we're going to end up working either for a bank or for a government company, government agency. And so there's not that many opportunities to actually go and build that. And now just looking at the whole shift and how the world has basically come in towards yours, it's like, wow, there is an opportunity to actually use this human capital and work together and just start developing and challenging ourselves locally to keep building, either as an entrepreneur or as an entrepreneur. You know, Brock Pierce, I thought said a great today on the keynote he gave here at the Blockchain Unbound Conference. It's a global we going on, it's a we, not a me.  It's global. So it's not like the old guard, gatekeeper migration pass up. So the migration for up the ladder, if you will, in society for a young individual was kind of structured in the past. Like you get your degree. Now the ladder has fallen. Yeah, I mean, Peter Teal at one point is looking at those people not to go to school. Literally the world is your oyster with this new technology because now it's a global fabric. There's no central authority. You have access to open source software. It's fully connected. So now's the time to make it translate. What do you hope for for the community in Puerto Rico for to make that connection and the intellectual property flow, the relationships? What do you guys are looking for that have happened? Yeah, so the answer is going to be a little bit historical and that goes back to a question I asked off of the camera. I was like, do you know where the first special economic zone was built? The first SEC was built. It was here in Puerto Rico. And for those that don't know that that was economic model that we use as a human race in 130 nations and 4,300 zones around the world to transition an economy from agriculture to manufacturing. And I believe that right now we're building that fabric. We're starting to reconstruct that second generation of an SCZ. And whatever's happening here to other built better cities where people like are able to access their food, are able to access capital, are able to access opportunities in a way that it's de-risked, I believe it's being built right now. And I think that is where we're heading. Because we already did it 71 years ago and this is just a perfect on-coction to redo it. You know, I talk with a lot of leaders. One of them is Teresa Carlson who runs Amazon Web Services Global Public Sector which is government, schools and whatever. We're seeing for the first time, and this is what I think Amazon sees. And then the leader in cloud computing which is phenomenal, which again levels a lot of gatekeepers if you think about it that way. She talks about digital nations. That we are now at the front end of the beginning of a wave where sovereignty at a national level with this no-border kind of digital culture is a huge opportunity. How are you guys recruiting? How are you spreading the love? How are you spreading the work? It's not just developers, it's about the communities. Well, first of all, I think it's important to actually say that it's better. I think Puerto Rico being a free associated states of the United States of America is like the best place to actually test this philosophy and push for that. I think that the way that we're actually starting to recruit that is by spreading onto the world and saying like, hey, this is happening, come back. As I was mentioning in May, we're going to Washington, DC to present over 23 organizations that are working on basically all of this happening and be able to bring more consciousness, bring more tools into the island and be able to build essentially a future of it. Talk about the things that you're working on right now. You mentioned before we came on camera one of the things you're doing in Washington, DC. What are some of the things you're hoping to accomplish over the next year in your role and inside the community here in Puerto Rico? I hope to, with EduBlock, be able to help more students get into the space, be able to leverage better connections and relationship with these corporations that are in need now of blockchain developers and be able to have that circular flow of the people here in the island and the people internationally that are looking for talent. That's my main goal and if I could put a number of it, it would be amazing to have 500 students recruited or with an internship within corporations by the next 365 days. As you guys at EduBlock are creating a separate event forum for what's happening at Blockchain Unbound to the education community because it's pretty pricey to come to this conference. An investor conference, an industry conference. You're seeing a world coming together. A lot of people coming in from the crypto blockchain community. What are people talking about in Puerto Rico about this migration and this intersection of the two worlds? Is it good, bad, confusing? Are people trying to figure it out? What's the vibe? They need more information. They need more data. We only had a few articles and that's it. Yeah. My father, for example. Articles from centralized news organizations, not trusted news organizations. What is the decentralized data say? The decentralized data say is like, it's that this is a good technology. We need to be careful. Like we need to understand it correctly. And we need to raise awareness around the community because it can either go really, really, really, really well or we can repeat the past couple of years in the island. It could fail miserably or be a home run. Great stuff. We certainly want to expose the information and share the stories of the key things that are working on it. You're doing a great job. You guys are doing great work. We support you. Obviously from Silicon Valley, we're theCUBE and our job is open free content and what we're doing here. Puerto Rico, we're the Gustavo Diaz-Scaf who's the founder and president of the Young Entrepreneurs Club here, Entrepreneurial Society in Puerto Rico. We're on the ground getting all those top stories and sharing the data with you. I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching.


Guadalcanal diary with Richard J. Cole ladies and gentlemen your producer Mr. Cecil V. DeMille Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen 50 years from today an old man walks down Main Street All his life. He's been justly proud that he was one of the famous few and as he walks his neighbors point him out to the stranger in town That man was at Guadalcanal they say and perhaps they add I wonder what it was really like Right now that old man of the future is a youngster with a confidence set to his shoulders and a hint of a swagger in his walk and rightly so Because he is a United States Marine a Marine who helped to turn the great retreat in the Pacific into a great attack a Marine who made American history But behind the confidence shoulders and silent swagger lingers the memory of other Marines For rest forever in the green jungles of Guadalcanal The war correspondent Richard to gaskets wrote the story in Guadalcanal diary just as he saw it happen From that book 20th century Fox made one of the really great motion pictures of the war and tonight We bring it to you with the same stars you saw on the screen Preston Foster William Bendix and Lloyd Nolan. We borrowed Bill Bendix from his own radio show the life of Riley Most of us have seen pictures of Guadalcanal in the newspapers and magazines pictures of the wreckage of war in the midst of choking jungle and perhaps here and there a Lonely coconut palm still standing above the debris Strangely enough that lonely palm tree has a very direct connection with Lux Flakes You see before the war there were rather large coconut plantations on the island and from these and many others scattered over the globe Came raw materials that were used in the making of our product The next time you pour some Lux Flakes into the dish pan You might remember that a lot of people and places all around the world are helping to wash your dishes And turning now from dishes to drama We raise the curtain on the first act of Guadalcanal diary Starring Lloyd Nolan as hook William Bendix as taxi and Preston Foster as father Donnelly with Richard Jacob as chicken They were all in school a dozen or so years ago They were taught geography from books and maps And many forgot the lesson now they are Marines Again, they're learning geography But it is taught with fire and blood and steel and this time no one will ever forget Let's suppose it's February 1942 instead of 44 only two years ago And suppose someone asked the question. What is Guadalcanal? The answers would run something like this. Huh? Guadalcanal never heard of the place. How about you? Oh, sure. Guadalcanal. That's in South America. They send us bananas That man next to you. Do you know? Yeah, it's a canal like a Panama and a Suez canal I think it's in spain and you mr. DeMille in February 1942. How would you have answered the question? The chances are I'd have run blushing to the nearest in psychopedia Yes, few people knew much about Guadalcanal Among those few were these officers in the Marines Guadalcanal one of the Solomon Islands lying in the South Pacific about 6,000 miles from the United States 3,340 miles from Japan. It's adjacent to several other islands. Salvo, Buchenville, Tulaki Guadalcanal is 90 miles long 30 miles wide mountainous and heavily forested on it are a few copra or coconut plantations Guadalcanal recently has assumed tremendous strategic importance following its occupation by Japanese troops So we're now using it as a basis supplies in the site of an airfield This island must be taken from the enemy at any cost and at the earliest possible moment The earliest possible moment was six months in coming Then in August 1942 Three transports loaded with Marines plowed through the flooded waters of the South Pacific And one of the ships is a chaplain. His name is Donnelly, William Donnelly Yes, I'm a chaplain. I'm not a fighter to carry no weapons But there's a place for me in this war. I'll find it sooner or later and then do what I can They'll need help No one knows where these ships are going not even Colonel Grayson But it's very pleasant in the beautiful white sunshine of the port deck watching the blue sea slip by As usual, the favorite occupation of the enlisted man is shooting the breeze Exchanging scuttled but boy, I'd sure like to be back home right now sailing me a boat on Chesapeake Bay If I was home, I wouldn't be on no boat Ever see that's for me watching them beautiful buns Yeah, bums is right just leading the league sergeant Malone just leading the league Oh, sure that league you've got any dough to set the eggs will take the bumps in the series Look taxi the dodgers ain't even in the world series yet. What good is still going to do you where you're going? How do you know where we're going? I'll pipe down Besides, I don't care if I never see any more dough again in my life. Of course, you guys understand I'm talking about confederate dough. Hey, yeah chicken. Ain't that guy over there a war correspondent or something? Yeah, that's him Hey, you Hi 11x I was about putting my name in the paper the funny paper Sure son. What name is it Johnny Anderson? You can call him chicken and it kind of be just about in his pincers Boy, well a certain party.   Oh, sure. Why not some doubt? Yeah, she's a real hunk of woman and she don't give me no arguments either. She does You know, I knew a dame like that once but so did a lot of other guys Let's see you later chicken. I'm going back. Yeah. See you talk Hey, Texas. Yeah Hot ain't it? Yeah It's like a nice tall glass of ice cold beer beers strictly a middle class beverage The last time I was home in Brooklyn. We was having cocktails my old lady brought them in I take one taste and boy what a kick Do you know what she did my old lady?  Yeah, well time to turn in guys Yeah, good night. Hook. Taxi. Okay boys. Come on. Come on. Better knock off the sky lock and hit the sack Lights up 10 minutes. Will you blow satch? Yeah, as soon as I get these kids to bed Good night. Hook. Say, uh, you know yet what we're up to? Oh, same old thing Seuss manoeuvres go on now turn him. Ah manoeuvres I'm getting pretty tired of this whole business. Oh, yeah Well, one of these days we're gonna bump up against the real thing as soon as the better. Good night. Hook. Good night partner Another lazy day has ended Sunny been full as all our days had been for more than a week now The only difference is that we're a few hundred miles closer to whatever we're heading for At dawn the next morning. We learned the answer Up on the bridge, I see Colonel Grayson, Captain Cork and Captain Davis They're looking through binoculars. It's something big beyond the mist. The men are on the deck below And what they see is something they have never seen before Look at it. Just look at it. Hey, what's going on here boys? Look, father. Look. There's a thousand of them Transport cruisers destroyers. Yeah, and over there. You see plane carriers? I knew something was up I knew it. So we're out of maneuvers, huh? No, we only knew where we were going. Well, wherever it is, chicken. It looks like we mean business. Boy, I never seen so many ships before. That is outside the Brooklyn Navy, I- Hey, something's heading this way. See that launch? Yes, with a civilian. And maybe he wants to enlist. How about me swapping places with him, Hook? Oh, I knew you wouldn't miss this for a year's pay and you'd know it. Well, gentlemen, at last I have the news we've been waiting for. We're going to attack the Japanese strongholds on Guadalcanal and Toulagi in the Solomon Islands Uh, you have a question already, Captain Cross? Uh, yes, sir. If I may, the question is when? Well, it may be tomorrow or the next day or the day after that. If we choose, we can site Guadalcanal within 18 hours. But whether we do or not depends upon the strength of the enemy's defenses. Captain Davis? I was wondering, sir, if this task force is going to remain with us. No, no, I doubt it. The Navy and Coast Guard were laid on a barrage and remain offshore until we've established a beachhead. The carriers will give us what reconnaissance they can. Uh, B Company, that's you, Captain Cross. We'll take the left half of the beachhead. A Company, Captain Davis, the right. Our chief objective is an airfield, which the enemy has almost completed. Now I know you're all wondering about this gentleman here, whom the Navy just brought aboard. And he's Mr. Weatherby. He supervised a copra plantation on Guadalcanal and he can give us an idea of what it's like. And Mr. Weatherby, please. Well, gentlemen, after crossing the beach here, you'll have to penetrate a field of grass, as you can see on this map. Well, grass sounds easier than pillboxes. Yes, but it's four to six feet high. No good stuff for the Japs to hide in. I'm not a soldier, Colonel, but my guess is that your toughest problem is crossing the beach and getting your men under cover of the palm trees as quickly as possible. There's a grove of these trees just beyond the grass. Yes, we're going to lose men, but remember this. Don't stop to help the wounded. The common will take care of them. You have to cover the men who'll be landing behind you. Is that clear, gentlemen? Yes, sir. Uh, while I'm on the subject, Captain Davis. Aye, aye, sir. Opposed to following order? Aye, sir. Annex E to general order number three, burial. Graves will be suitably marked. All bodies will wear identification tags. Now, Mr. Weatherby, about two hours later, Sergeant Hookam alone has a mimeographed paper in his hand. The ink is still wet. He holds it carefully as he reads it to the men of Company A. The common action marks the first offensive in a war against the enemy involving ground forces of the United States. The Marines have been selected to initiate this action. And it owes the way. Which will prove the forerunner of successive offensive actions that will end in ultimate victory for our cause. Yeah. We are meeting a tough and wily opponent. But he is not sufficiently tough or wily to overcome us because we are Marines. Now you're talking. Each of us has an assigned task. Let each vow to perform it to the utmost of his ability with added effort for good measure. Good luck, and God bless you. Walter E. Grayson Colonel. Very well done, Hook. Very academic. But when do we do it? Okay, boys. Inspection in ten minutes. On the double! I'm a girl just like the girl of Mary. I'll check. Looks like it won't be long now, eh? Looks that way, Taxi. Hey, what time is it back home, anyway? Let me see. How many hours difference is there? Well, there's 19 between here and San Francisco. Then there's three more between there and Holmberg. I can never tell which way it is. I can never tell whether today is yesterday or tomorrow. I'll take it easy, kid. See you later. Yeah, go on, Taxi. I'll love you. I want a girl. Small talk, scuttlebutton. There's not a privilege of the enlisted men only. The officers shoot the breeze, too. But Captain Davis and Captain Cross have been doing that for years. Are you looking in the mirror for a while, Walter? Getting bald? Oh, it sure looks like it. Are you supposed to eat it when the kids are doing right now? Sleeping, I hope. How do you feel? Scared? Sure, but I try to look at it as just another job, like selling a big order when there's a lot of sales resistance. Funny that we should end up like this. Of course, two companies in. Three to one says my outfit, Lance, but... I'll take that. One coconut says you don't. I want a girl with heart so true. All right, now wait a minute, you guys. Wait a minute. Fight down. Let a guy talk, will you? Now, most of you have never had any experience in the jungle before, but the Japs have. Plenty.    We can beat them at their own game of silence if we try, but... Well, you know how marines are, some dope will yell, Hey, Mac, is that tea company over there? Yeah, that ain't funny. Keep on a knife of snipers all the time.  Shoot them down. That makes sense, don't it?  Oh, yeah? Well, I... Hey, wait a minute. What's that you got? Blackjack? That thing ain't no government issue. No, that's flat-push issue. I just made it. If it'll make the Japs happy to die for the effort, I'm going to try to make them happy. Well, you're going to take the island all by yourself, I suppose. Well, that would cause no surprise in certain circles in Brooklyn. Ha. And there's one thing more, guys. Now, don't go around picking up any helmets or anything else that Japs leave laying around. Yeah, but supposing you promise a certain party is souvenir. You'll just forget it, chicken. Sure, you'll have to find it's been rigged up with wiring and it'll blow right up in your kitchen. Oh, hiya, Father. Hello, Father. Say, Padre, any natives on that island? Mr. Weatherby said several thousand. Are they catamels? No, I believe they're strict vegetarians, chicken. But then, of course, they've never tasted marine meat. Well, don't worry. We may land tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday. Yeah, that's right. Friday. Friday, the 7th of August. It's here. The day of landing. Now on the decks, there is a smell of oil and steel. Every weapon has been cleaned and checked a dozen times. Bolo knives and bannets. So sharp that they sing when your thumb touches the blade. The torque and the laughter are gone now. Parts of pounding, nerves jumping. Here and there, a man with his lips. Please, a little harder. Eye strain. Waiting for a sight of that high, irregular mass lying beyond the sheen of water. Grotto canals. Well, there she is. We must have passed these jet batteries by now, panel. Either it's a trick or they're awful dumb. Well, anyhow, Colonel, if it works out, it'll make a swell story for me to write about. Let's not think of it any other way. It's got to work out. Well, the Lorna landing, Sergeant. Looks like this is it, huh? Yeah. Well, you better unbuckle your chin straps and your cartridge belt, man. Bring on him, Japs, brother. This ain't no turkey shoot, Tex. Make them all count. Don't worry, Sergeant, I will. Sorry, we're not going in the same boat, Walter. There's no just putting all of our aids in one basket. Funny how we can stand here, preparing to force a landing on the Japs and connect the zippered with the most normal thing in the world. Yeah, it is, brother. Hey, look, you see the turrets on that cruiser? They're getting ready to lay it down. You know, Judge, times like these kind of make me wish I was back in Brooklyn, driving my cab with the fast meter and keeping an eye on them bums. Oh, what are you talking about? When they ain't yet another crack in them, they'll take them apart. Oh, I should live so long. Hey, what am I saying? Here we go! Good luck, man. Maybe you. OK, boys, over we go. And now, before Mr. DeMille presents Lloyd Nolan, Preston Foster, William Bendix and Richard Jekyll in act two of Guadalcanal Diary, here's our fashion reporter, Libby Collins, to tell us about a style show that has a Treasury Department agent as its star. She's Linwood Relange's clad and made of cotton for 1944, and she's selling war bonds in over 40 cities and in her spare time, modeling her all cotton-luxible wardrobe. The clothes are all ones you can make yourself from easy-to-follow McCall patterns, and all the fabrics are luxible cotton. So you can put what you save on cost and on upkeep into war bonds. An excellent idea, Libby. Won't you tell us more about Mrs. Clare? Well, she's a tall, dark, Louisiana co-ed, and she was selected made of cotton from contestants representing all the Southern cotton-growing states. She's touring the country, showing women how practical and pretty an all-cotton wardrobe can be. So watch your local newspapers to see when she'll be in your town. Is everything she wears made of cotton? Mm-hmm. Dresses, darkings, undies, even shoes. There are slacks, play clothes, suits, lovely family afternoon socks, evening dresses, too. All made of cotton and all luxible. The fabrics were all tested by the Lux Laboratories and will still be bright and new-looking months later if you always wash them with gentle, luxe flakes. Yes, Libby, nice cottons are really fine fabrics. They deserve the same gentle luxe care you give rayons to keep them lovely longer. Harsh soaps, too hot water, and cake soap rubbing can make them look drab and old before their time. Always use lukewarm water and mild, luxe flakes. Then you can be sure your pretty cottons will lead a long, long life. Listen while we sum it up for you in both words and music. Cottons lead a long life when they lead a luxe life. Now our producer, Mr. DeMille. Act two of Guadalcanal Diaries. starring William Bendix as Taxi, Lloyd Nolan as Hook, Preston Foster as Father Donnelly, and Richard Jekyll as Chicken. They know the Japs are full of tricks, but we have encountered a surprise awaiting us as we land on Guadalcanal. Everything points toward a bloody battle on the beach. But nothing happens. Not a shot. Japanese or American is fired. The Japs have vanished. Either the Navy and Coast Guard have blown them all to bits, or... or what? We don't know. Boy, I gotta sit down. I'm all wore out landed against a stubborn resistance. Don't worry, Taxi. We'll hear from him yet. Yes, me. It's too good to be true. It's a trap. We'll know soon enough. The old man says the Japs are hiding in the hills. We're to stay here and hold this village. Wait, sir. Let's fill up the left here. Yeah, very wasteful. They didn't even stop the minor runway. I'd say they're very considerate little sons of heaven. Hey, look. There's somebody in there. Where? In that hut. Look. Look out, guys. I'm going in. You cover Taxi from here. I'll go around back. Right, sir. Watch out, kid. Here I go. All right, you little yellow. Well, what do you know? They were like picking up the pigs. Pigs, the pigs. Yeah, look at them go. I'm sorry I called you a nasty name, pigs. Hey, give me a cigarette, will you? Yeah, here. Say, since when did you start smoking cigarettes? I'm starting right now. Hey, hey, fellas. Putz says they got a warehouse full of Jeff beer and caviar. Yeah, fish eggs. I was eating some. They taste pretty good. Maybe the Japs poisoned it. If nothing happens to you, Putz, let me know. Gangway, gangway. Hey, Padre, where'd you get the bicycle? Don't call me, boys. They're plenty more with this thing. Boy, that's their honey. There must be a couple of hundred Japs trucks over there. Radios, guns, everything. Well, Padre, I guess we really caught them with their come-oners, don't it? Well, if you want to be elegant, Taxi, that's one way of putting it. But from the reports, we're getting from two loggies. Get behind those three guys. On the double. Where's my helmet? Where's my helmet? Hey, Taxi, yeah, this is it, huh? Yeah, maybe. Sergeant Hook. Sergeant. All right, sir. What's going on there? Oh, he can't tell, sir. The shots came from the edge of the jungle. Hey, Sergeant, get a Audrey Mucky done a rope. Hey, sir, looks like Private Steinhouse got three prisoners. Bring them in here. Hey, Taxi, pretty small guy. Yeah, they don't smoke so good either. Hey, Snow White, where's the rest of the 7th Ward? There ain't no use, guys. They don't speak English. That's Hart, that's Schaffner, that's Mark. Ah, good work, Steinhouse. Where'd you pick them up? Found them sitting under a bush, sir. Sir, these are the Muckys we're fighting. Oh, no, these are laborers. They keep pointing up toward the hill, sir. I guess that's where the rest of them went to. Hey, what are they doing? Praying? No, they think we're going to shoot them. Sergeant. All right, sir. Get them something to eat, and then turn them over to the MPs. All right, sir. Get moving, Coach O. We ain't got no avocado. We ain't got no avocados. We don't have to wait long to learn what tropical weather is like. The sky suddenly blackened and we're drenched in a steaming cloudburst. The rain comes down in tarnes, and through it clouds the steady plop, plop, plop for the century's feet. And then it comes. A solitary shot in one of the century's sighs and crumples silently into the black mud. He is dead. Paulman! Paulman! Forget it. Too late. Is he dead? Yeah, chicken. He's dead. He begot to have mercy on his soul. NXE is a general order number three. Burial. Graves will be suitably marked. All bodies were wear identification tanks. We know now that the enemy has not fled. But in the denseness of the jungle, men are lurking. Silent. Dangerous. Watching us. How many are there? Where are they hiding? How grave is our danger? That one of us can say. All we can do is wait. Wait and watch in the rain. In the distance, we hear the dull rumble of naval guns. Our ships have met the Jap Navy. And we realize that if our people out there lose the battle, we'll be fighting for our lives before morning. Suddenly, most of us know the awful feeling of being pitifully small. Tiny particles of humanity caught up in the gigantic whirlpool of war. At such a moment, without knowing it, we thank God for men like TXE. Yes, leave it to TXE to break the tension, one way or another. Help! Help! Help with the Jap! A Jap, he's got me! Help! Hang on to him! Oh, for the lover. Take him off! Yeah, hang on to him, TXE. To Joe himself. That's the best-looking Jap I've ever seen. I'm sorry, Sarge. I could have sworn I felt his buck teeth. All right. Go up here. Here's your first Jap prisoner.  Yeah, that's right. I guess the rain must have knocked it off the tree and dumped it in my arms. You've captured it barehanded, the flat-pushed Sarge and yours. Well, I couldn't touch them. All right, you guys.   Get some sleep. It feels better in the morning. We dig foxholes. And on the airfield, steam rollers and tractors roar out, setting up defenses against the day when we'd have our own air support. And knowing that until that day arrives, we have but one course to follow on Guadalcanal. Dig in, dig in, and wait. Well, Colonel, anything I can write about for the folks back home? No, you can tell them that our task forced feet off the Japs last night. It cost three of our crewers to do it, though, and one Australian. The fight was just off Savile. What about our casualties on Jalagi? Pretty heavy. The Japs are holding up in caves, fighting to the last man. Any idea how many we got? Oh, about 400 on Jalagi, 800 on Gavuto. That's good news, sir. But now that I've got it, how am I going to get it to the States? Well, there's a Navy plane scheduled in here today or tomorrow. Write it up now, see if I can get it aboard for you. I think they'd like to know back home. Thank you, sir. Yeah. Say, how's it about letting me that razor when you get through? What do you want a razor for? Oh, I must have lost mine coming ashore.  I don't know about that. Here, look. Huh? No, not there. Down here. You see under the chin? Under the chin. Yeah, kind of. Kind of run your finger there. Hmm. Well, hard to say, though. Sure it ain't sand. No, I just washed my face, Taxi. You're there. Yeah, I guess maybe you've got a whisker there. Yeah.  Yeah, that's what I said.  No, I just assumed you'd let me the razor. The chicken's got feathers. What do you know about that? It's kind of cute, ain't it? Oh, there's the pudgery. I got to tell him. Hey, Father. Yes, Taxi? Chicken's turning his whiskers loose. Look. Hey, that's right. Congratulations, chicken. Boy, there's a certain party that you'd like to know that... No, I guess it'd be kind of silly to tell her. Well, I imagine she's assumed as much all alone, chicken. Look, I just found something, too. Limes. They're limes, isn't it? Yes. Hey, look, come on over here. Chicken's got whiskers and the pudgery's got lime. Oh, yeah? No, we only had some gin, nice, biswater, a couple of maraschino cherries. I'd fix you a Tom Collins. We could drink the chicken's beard. Excuse me, pudger. I was just thinking out loud, you know. Well, that's all right, Sergeant. You fronties the other ingredients, and I'll supply the limes. Here we go again. It's a dish in red, and dish in red. And dish in red. Get in the back, old man. Get in the back, old. Somehow, I can't get over how enemy planes, with the obvious intention of dropping a bomb on my head, can look so beautiful.  Hey, chicken, he's hit. Who's that? Me? Hey, kid, look at the blood. Hey, guys, I'm wounded. Let me see. Are you okay, chicken? Just a concussion. You're adding a borrower when so deep, kid, cushion yourself on your elbow. Yeah. Hey, they've gotten something out of those planes. Parrots shoots, they're bailing out troops. Those ain't men's dodge. Look, they're baskets. Yeah, baskets. Surprise. Probably for the men in the jungle. Yeah, most of them are going to land right here, though. Come on, guys, let's take a look. Food, an ammunition. Hey, look, a box of candy. They need candy like the Dodgers need a fourth of fire. Now, wait a minute. Look, the papers. They look like messages.  I wonder what it says. We'll soon find out. Hey, Manuel. Yes, yes, Fiery. We have a Jeff letter for you. That's for me, all right. Me speak Japanese, almost good. I speak English. That's what I'm afraid of. Yeah. It was in this basket, Manuel. Let me see these. Oh, it say here, the enemy before your eyes is collapsing. They mean us. Hey, Sarge. Yeah? Look at me, I'm collapsing.  Go on, Manuel. It said, be assured of help from Imperial Heaven. By no means run away from your position. The enemy has suffered enormous losses. All transports have been sunk and their choices troop annihilated. Yeah, it's funny. I never thought of it. Maybe we're dead and we don't know it. How about that, Padre? Well, if we are, at least it's not Imperial Heaven. Sergeant Malone. Hi, sir. Why Captain Davis? How's him to come here? He's got a such a cat fever. Colonel, I just took him to the sick base. Captain's off then, right away. Yeah, hi, sir. Come in, Walter. Colonel? I've just had a report.  Aye, sir. That's about five miles from here. You'd better take a patrol down there and see what it's all about. It'll be a pleasure, sir. You'd better go by boat. Take a higgin. Keep offshore far enough so they can't snipe you. And then come in where and when you can. Well, you might take Sergeant Malone with you. Aye. Maybe the report is true. Maybe it isn't. Be careful, Walter. I don't know what you're talking about. Captain, be careful, Walter. Don't take any unnecessary chances. They leave at noon. Captain Cross, Hook, and 24 men. Hours later, aboard Dawn. Taxi and the boys return to the beach to watch for them. It is almost dark when they see something offshore. It's been an eight-along. It's moving. See? Step aside, gents. I'll show you how I used to win them Cupid dogs at the Coney Island shooting gallery. I'll buck you in this. Wait a minute, Taxi. It's a guy. Look, he's swimming. Yeah, that's right. A jack. He's coming this way, too. Probably a one-man suicide squadron with a load of dynamite going to sneak in as soon as it's dark. Where'd he come from? Somebody's hooked his pretty good swimmer, kid. Maybe come down to coast where Hook and them went. Taxi, it is Hook. Put down that gun. Trying to run out on that bed, huh? You're nuts. Look, Taxi, it is Hook. Hook! Hook! Sarge! Sarge! I might have shot him. Gangway, guys, I'm going in after you. You all right, Hook? You all right, kid? Yeah. Yeah, get me to the colonel. I got to see the colonel. Sure, Sarge. Sure. Come on, guys. Pick him up. Go back there, sir. We've got to go back. Yes, we're going back to Matanicao. Yes. This time we'll go in force. And not just to take a look around Malone. This time we go for blood. Thank you, sir. We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille returns to Preston Foster, William Bendix, Lloyd Nolan and Richard Jekylls for act three of Waddle Canal Diary. Mr. Kennedy, I have a wonderful new way to shop to save time and energy. Every time I want to buy something, I buy a war bond instead. And then just imagine how I'll spend it after the war. Let's ask a couple of people from the audience what they'd do with it. I'd like something for the house, like new curtains or an electric mixer. I'm going to buy something pretty for myself. Well, I'm going to buy nylon stockings. Half a dozen pairs right at one clip. Ah, yes, that's what many women say. But so far, those post-war nylons are only a dream. So why not let's face the facts? Lots of women didn't like nylons at first, remember? Then after they'd worn them for a while, they raved about them. Probably you didn't like the new rayons much at first. Neither did their makers. But they needed time to work out improvements. Now they're really are some lovely ones. And if they're given the right care, they wear as well as silk. Every time you put a pair of those pretty rayon stockings in the wash bowl, remember... That's practically a dollop bill in that wash bowl. So I hope you're using Luxud. Because dollop bills don't grow on trees. If you're tempted to be careless and use strong soaps for stockings or rub with cake soap, remember, those stockings cost money. Give them the luxe care they deserve, and they'll repay you in extra wear. Yes, strain tests prove stockings washed with Lux Flakes last twice as long as those rubbed with cake soap are washed with a strong soap. Nightly Luxe Care cuts way down on runs. Helps you to get two pair wear from every pair. If your dealer is out of Lux Flakes, try again soon. More is on the way. Remember, Lux is worth waiting for. Now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone. We'll investigate the private lives of our stars after the play. But now here's the curtain for the third act of Guadalcanal Diary. Darring Preston Foster, Lloyd Nolan, William Bendix, and Richard Jekyll. We are going back to Matanacal. And this time for blood. Men are going and boys. Going into battle for the first time in their lives. Boys just out of high school, grocery clerks, truck drivers, insurance salesmen. Filled with the memories of tricks and ambush and slaughter. The memories of dead friends. It'll be another hour before we reach Matanacal. We slipped through the jungle. A few at a time. Look. Yeah? This is it, huh? Well, we're getting closer, chicken. How do you feel about killing people? Kill or be killed, ain't it? Besides, those Japs ain't people. Yeah, but I mean the first time you got one of them. Well, it was kind of rugged, I guess. Then it's just a matter of repetition. Quit thinking about it, you'll go crazy. Yeah, but I wonder what it's going to be like. Yeah? You've got plenty of cover here behind these trees. I got an idea of those monkeys. They'll be coming this way. You can pick them off from here like fishing a bow. Look, where are you going? I'm going over to see how Taxi's making out with a mortar. I'll be back.  Hey, look, there's one over there in the clearing. Yeah. He's dead. Yeah, it's an officer, too. You see a sword? That's for me, Hook. That's for me. You nuts get down.  I promise a certain party of souvenirs. You've got enough to think about without going at the souvenirs. Are you just saying? Poor guy. Keep laying it down there, Taxi. They'll be running for the woods any minute, Sarge, if there's any of them left to run. Any sign of snipers? No, not yet, there ain't. Texas is watching for them over. You'd better watch closer than that. You heard Taxi? Would you look at that. Right through my helmet. Look, Hook, it ain't possible.  Get back to that mortar.  Hey, Texas, you see what I see? Yeah, up in the coconut tree. Watch. Who do you think you are, County? Kuma or Roy Rogers? They're pretty good, too. This'll put them out. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Look. Look. You see? He's sticking out his greasy kisser. Yeah. Watch. Ah! Scratch one, squid-eyed jack. That's OK, Thig. That was for Captain Cross. I've got 24 to go. Hey, Taxi, yeah? I'm going back over the ridge. Join up with it there when you're through, huh? Look, look. What the... Look. Hey, chicken. Where are you? Hurry, look, hurry.  I tried to get the sword. I thought it was dead. Yeah, yeah, I know. Take it easy now. I killed him. He shot me first. Yeah, yeah. Look, am I going to die? No, you'll be all right. I promised a certain price. Look, I got to get you out of here. You think you can walk? Yeah, I guess so. OK. Come on, now. Up now. That's it. Put your weight on me. Get the sword. Yeah, I'll come back for it later and get it. Thanks, look. I'll get a couple of jabs to put on it, too. Look, what time is it? Will you save your breath?  I never figured this was going to happen to me. What time is it, hook? We'd better get him to an ambulance, doctor. You'll never make it, father. Is it that bad, doc? He's lost too much blood, needs plasma, needs it fast. Can't we give it to him here? With all these other men waiting? He's just a kid. They're all just kids. I've watched you often enough. Perhaps I could do it myself. You? Well, why not?  Nothing to lose. Call him in. Plasma! Over here, quick! Yeah, father? I think you'll be all right. You'd better get back. I'll watch out for him. Yeah, thanks, Mark. It was over by nightfall, the Battle of Mechanicale. This war of mighty armies of tanks and planes, it has been nothing more than an incidental skirmish. Only a few hundred will ever remember it. The boys who fought there, and the families of those we buried. But the enemy has at last been met, and we have wiped him out. Those who can walk, trudged back, weary and stunned. Moving like drunken men are men in a nightmare. Heads and legs bandaged, clothes torn, unlit cigarettes dangling from their lips, old before their time, veterans. We rested at the village. And then, in the morning, as if from heaven itself, comes the one thing that can best snap us out of it, mail. Mail from that distant, hazy spot, bill of hopes and dreams, home. Smells delicious. Come here, give me that. All right, here it is. Captain Clark. Captain. Oh, I'll take it, Corporal. Oh, yes, sir. There's two more forms, Captain Davis. Yes. Come on, take what about me, Aloysius. Take it easy, Flatbush. We'll get around to you. Michael Boy. Michael Boy. Hey, where's Michael Boy? That's you. Huh? Oh, yeah, me. Pass it. Kalinsky. Favourite. She's three months old. And did you hear that bell? It's like my mother. He got up a little soon, didn't he? Yeah. Who'd you hear from, Taxi? Or me, or from the Flatbush Athletic Club. It says here, it says, it says, are you keeping fit these difficult days? You owe it to yourself to exercise regularly so that you will keep your body in the pink of condition. You think we've been neglecting our health out here? Yeah, I think I'll join up. Come on, let's go over and see the chicken. I'll take that, bring him a plate. It was weeks before we had reason again to celebrate. Weeks of rain and disease and malnutrition. Weeks of digging graves. The watching the enemy slip more and more men ashore. Weeks of being a target day and night of their bombers and zeroes. Against whom we're lucky to put up six or seven Grumman fighters. We wonder if this will be another but ten. And then they come. Reinforcements at last. Immediately we start to push inland and that Jap runs to his hills and his caves, sweeping us down with machine guns, change of them sometimes rather than surrender. One by one these fanatics must be blasted out and the job goes to men like Taxi and Hook. They do it with dynamite and grenades, with gasoline and sheer guts. So then it's all on that day's work now. And when the job is done, back to camp they come and rush for the portable radio. Now I've piped on you guys, piped on, I got it listening. And now for the world of sport.  Enforcements Park St. Louis was packed with 34,000 wild-eyed fans as the cards in Yanks tangled in the second game of the current World Series.  Give us the score. Give us the score, will you? In the beginning with the score tied one to one, the fans got the thrill that they've been waiting for. Yeah, but will you give us the score? The cards had two men out when Enos Flotter caught a fast one and slid into second base for a double. That's it, Enos. I knew you could do it. It's all right, Sammy. Think nothing of it. Then Phil was due to a second, let the ball slip away and Flotter dashed safely to third. Ah, you'll be expecting that. And that brought Stan Mugiel to bat. He worked on him for a 3-2 pitch. And then with the home crowd screaming for a hit, he bounced over the plate. Wait a minute, wait a minute. It's coming in again. Listen. And so, baseball fans, today's game ended with a final score. That's the way today's game ended. Thanks for listening, folks. See you tomorrow. Heddington Red! Heddington Red! Heddington Red! Heddington Red! It's the worst one yet. They're throwing everything at us with the hitch and stove. That's the stove now. Here, chicken. Take a dragon and a cigarette. Oh, no thanks. I don't mind the one with my name on it. It's the one that's dressed a little, but may concern. I don't like it.  You hear what I hear? What do you mean, Jose? Those are not all bombs. Some of them are hidden shells. They've got nothing anywhere near that thing unless we got visitors. The Jap Navy. There's a report that a couple of battleships and eight cruisers are off Savo. They're really pasting us. I don't mind saying I don't like it. I've got things on my mind, too, but I don't know how the Padre will like it. Go right ahead, taxi. Well, I don't know about you guys, but me, well, I'm telling you, this thing's way over my head. It's going to take somebody bigger than me to handle it. I ain't much of this praying business. My old lady always took care of that. Yeah, my old lady was like that, too. Well, I don't know if I mean that kind of praying. You know, the Lord's Prayer, things like that. I know. I used to pray like that back when I was a kid. You know, Lord, give me this. Give me that. Please, let the Yankees win, but I've never been in a spot like this before. I don't like to hear you guys talk that way. Me, either. You guys are different. I don't believe you're scared. You worry you wouldn't have gone up under those cliffs. Right under their noses. Stopping gasoline even in their case. Stop it, chicken. I'm just a guy. I come out here because somebody had to come. I don't want no meddling. I just want to get this thing over with and go back home. I'm just like everybody else, and I'm telling you I don't like it. Except maybe I guess there's nothing I can do about it. I guess it's up to the God. And I'm not kidding. When I say I hope He knows just how I feel. I'm not going to say I'm sorry for everything I've done in my life. Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not. The only thing I know is I didn't ask to get in this spot. If we get it, then it sure looks that way now. Well, then I only hope He figures we've done the best we could and let's just go with that. Maybe this is a funny kind of praying to you guys, but it's what I'm thinking and praying. Amen. Amen.   It's as if God grabbed the world by the shoulders and shook it and shook it. Trying maybe to bring it to its senses, and then it's over.  The earth doesn't leap up at you anymore and the shells have stopped screaming, but the planes are still there. Dozens and dozens of planes. Hook stands up, a funny look on his face. He starts to leave when you grab at him, but he shakes you off and runs outside. Hey, look. Look, those are jets. Those are all planes. They're all planes. Morning, Captain Davis. Hello, Taxi. Hard to believe, isn't it? Yes, sir. Men, planes, food, hot food. I almost feel good, Captain. Yeah? What's up, sir? I mean, we ain't getting all this for nothing. I figure when we get hot showered, it means it's time for us Marines to push out somewhere else. If you'll get this as good as mine, Taxi. I'll know later today. Colonel Grayson's called. There are 10,000 jets on Guadalcanal. They have good equipment, and the jungles and rivers are all in their favor. We've done very well at Mechanicale, Tanaro, and Bloody Ridge, but we've got to take over this entire island. It means an all-out effort, and I can think of no better date to begin it than tomorrow. November the 10th, the 167th anniversary of the Marine Corps. MUSIC Dear Mom, I'm fine and hope you and Dad are not worrying. It's funny you writing to me how you went to the blood bank, because a few weeks ago, they gave me some of that plasma when I got hit a little. Maybe it was your blood. That would be funny, wouldn't it? Everything here is okay. No kidding, and maybe I'll get home soon. Hello, Shirley. I bet you never expected to hear from me again, but ha-ha, I fooled you. Because when a gentleman like I tells a lady like you something, that's not true. It's here at last. The great offensive. The men have written their letters home, or many their last letters. We started dawn. Along the shore and through the jungle, there was but one command, attack, attack, attack. It's one gigantic charge across the width and breadth of Guadalcanal. Hook and taxi are loaded down with grenades. They carry them in slings. You can't help but think of those pictures of old-time farmers sowing grains. Hey, too, a sowing grain. The lethal grain of sudden death. Ain't that General Randy Griffith over there with the turtles? Yeah. Don't he know it's dangerous here? Yeah, why don't you go and tell him? Come on. Yeah. There is Seuss, born in some tiny Mexican village. He came to the United States and he liked us. And we liked him. And now he is behind five feet of bandit and rifle fighting for us. Ahead of him, a Jaffa screen for cover. He has dropped a knife. Hey, Jaffa, you forgot something. Seuss picks it up, aims and flings the knife with a speed and accuracy of a striking rattlesnake. He forgot something. Funny, eh? And so he dies. Dies in blood and laughter. And the green jungle of Guadalcanal. Seuss never knew what hit him. Chicken hears the shot. He comes running up. There's another shot. And chicken sprawls grotesquely beside the body of his comrade. And then, out of nowhere, appear two Japanese. And with their rifle butts, they prod the motionless bodies. Banzai, honor to the emperor. And back to nowhere, they disappear again. But not quickly enough. Chicken is on his feet and his rifle at the shoulder. And two quick shots make two dead Jaffs. That's one you taught me. Chicken has remembered a Jaff officer and a shining sword for a certain party. And on it goes, an avenging army, yard by yard, mile by mile, drunk with righteous hate and fury, until at length this island is cleansed of its plague. Those few Jaffs who are still alive dash headlong to the sea. And the waters of the Pacific rise and wring down on infamy. A green and foamy curtain. It is December the 10th, 1942. We are leaving Guadalcanal today. They have told us our job is done. More soldiers are landing now. And from this tiny foothold in the Pacific, in good time, we'll go forward. We're all at the beach. Off shore, we see the ships that brought them here and will carry us away. Okay, you guys. Stay put, will you? We'll be going aboard in a few minutes. Hey, Taxi, look at me. Whiskers all over. Look at them. Hey, I got you guys here to be fighting in foxholes. This joint looks great. Give it time, putt. The beauty will wear off. Hey, Sarge, what did I got here? It's not too bad, soldier. It's pretty rugged. So long, guys. See you in Tokyo. Okay, we'll be there waiting for you. And then Colonel Grayson says he has something to read to us. We stand there looking out to sea. The waters seem misty.  We know that we shall never forget them. We pray that you at home will never forget them, too. From Admiral W.F. Halsey, commander of the South Pacific Force of the United States Pacific Fleet, never throughout the long and brilliant history of the Marine Corps have your deeds and sacrifices been surpassed. Your shining courage has surmounted every hardship and conquered a vile and treacherous enemy. By your zeal and accomplishments, you have added a new verse to the Marine hymn, set the pattern for our inevitable victory and tower as an inspiration for every American on every front.  Yes, God bless you all. So, Curtin falls on one of the most stirring real-life dramas of our time. In just a moment, Mr. DeMille will return with our stars for a Curtin call. Have you ever noticed how music can be used to express a mood, to picture a situation? Take two women both doing the daily job of washing dishes. Here's how Mrs. Jones feels about it. Oh, dear, I wish I were through. And just look at my red dishpan hand. But, Mrs. Smith... Well, they're all done in plenty of time for our first aid class. Mmm, and my hands look soft and smooth as ever. That doesn't sound like the same job at all. Tell us, Mrs. Smith, how come you're so cheerful? Oh, dish washing is no chore, not with luck. Such suds, so rich and so kind to my hands. Guess that's why more and more women are changing to luck's flakes for dishes. Richer suds that wash the dishes fast, gentler suds that leave hands soft and smooth. A good combination, isn't it? Yes, and it's surprising how thrifty luck's is, too. Goes further and does more dishes. Actually, up to twice as many dishes, Mrs. Smith, as the same weight of other well-known dish washing soaps. A little goes a long way. Now, here's Mr. DeMille with our stars. In the diary of the Lux Radio Theatre, Waddle Canal Diary will occupy an honored page. And here are three of the artists responsible. William Bendix, Preston Foster, and Lloyd Nolan. Thank you, CB. Glad to be back with you. Yeah, me, too. How are things going in Brooklyn, Bill? Brooklyn. I was only acting. I'm really from New York. Huh? You're not really a Dodger fan? Please, I used to be a bad boy for a New York giant. Oh, say, by the way, are they still in the league? I don't care about that. We are very sensitive. Besides, it makes me remember the great tragedy in my life. The time I had the chance to go south with the giants for spring training and couldn't make it. Accident, Bill? No, my mother wouldn't let me. A bad boy. Well, that's very interesting work. Another man that's always amazed me on jobs is Preston Foster. He's done everything from setting up pins in a bowling alley to singing and opera. How many jobs did you have before you got into pictures, Preston? 56. Pretty hard to beat in Hollywood. I just made it, CB. Waddle Canal Diary was my 57th picture. I don't think you'll lay at the end. What's your next play, CB? Well, Lord, the author is one of the foremost novelists and playwrights of the 20th century. And next week's play is one of his triumphs. The Letter by Somerset Morne. And our stars will be Betty Davis, Herbert Marshall, and Vincent Price. Betty Davis' fine performance in the Warner Brothers' picture will be long remembered by all who saw it. And next Monday night, she brings us this drama of a few dangerous weeks in the life of a beautiful woman. Performance by Betty Davis is something you just can't miss, CB. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good night. And remember, the Marines are still attacking them. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night. And the Lux Radio Theatre presents Betty Davis, Herbert Marshall, and Vincent Price in The Letter. This is F.B. DeMiro saying good night to you from Hollywood. William Bendix will soon be seen in the 20th Century Fox picture, Greenwich Village. Preston Foster appeared through the courtesy of 20th Century Fox and will soon be seen in the Bermuda Mystery. Lloyd Nolan was heard through the courtesy of 20th Century Fox, producers of the Sullivan. And Richard Jekyll is currently making wing in the prayer also at 20th Century Fox. Heard in tonight's play were Herbert Rawlinson as Grayson, Ed Emerson as Davis, John McIntyre as Correspondent, and Paul Zaremba, Tom Holland, Eddie Maher, Howard McNear, Ken Hard, Bob Young, Charles Thiel, Charlie Lung, Norman Thiel, Gary Brechtner. This program is broadcast to our fighting forces overseas through cooperation with the armed forces radio service. Our music was directed by Laura Silver, and this is your announcer, John M. Kennedy, reminding you to tune in again next Monday night to hear Betty Davis, Herbert Marshall, and Vincent Price in The Letter. Attention, victory gardeners! Fry offers you and Jenny's rainbow victory garden. Six kinds of choice vegetable seeds. Farglobe tomatoes, empharotter carrots, famous varieties of Swiss chard, lettuce, beets, radishes...


Good morning, YouTube. Good morning. Happy Sunday, aka Monday is when you're going to be watching this, and I hope you have a great week. And thank you for sharing yesterday about all of your race weekends and what was the last 5K you raced. So it's fascinating to watch everyone's experiences with racing come in through the comments below. And a lot of you guys are setting PRs. And so anyway, congrats kudos to you and oh man, we're just relaxing and enjoying this Sunday. More coming up soon about the running world. But man, it's just beautiful out here. I just had to come get a little fresh air, a little coffee. I know there's only so many times that you can watch me soak my foot. But you know, it's connected to today's story about the plantar fasciitis. I'll give you an update here in a few minutes. So here comes the hot water. A lot of you are wondering about this hot water. Time to go deliver the deliver this little guy this little monster to mama at the park so I can go run. He just woke up from his nap. You're doing good. We're gonna break the internet buddy. You're so cute. All right, getting the recovery run in after the race yesterday. Starting off in the Ultra Torrens, just gonna do a mile to stretch the Achilles out, stretch out just a teeny tiny bit. I'll give you of course a big update on the foot and the plantar fasciitis and what happened yesterday in the race. And then I'm gonna switch over. I'm just gonna do a mile in the Torrens. And then I'm gonna switch over to the beacons for about two to three more miles. We'll see. And yeah, so let's just recover day and then we'll talk about recovering here in a little bit. Joseph's Raven, hello. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing when I lose my sunglasses on top of my head. There they are. Don't you have you ever done that before YouTube? Looking for your sunglasses for five, ten minutes and yeah, they're on top of your head. Okay, here we go. Let's roll. Ultra Torrens right now. Half just did a mile and a half in the Torrens. Feeling good. Feeling decent. Okay, good is too strong of a word. Decent. All right, now I'm gonna switch to the beacons. Probably do two to three miles in the beacons. We'll see. And just trying to figure it out. Trying to figure out what's going on down there. All right, switching over to the beacons. Precious Michael watching. Okay guys. Wow. I started off at eight, no, sorry, at 930 pace in the Torrens. 930 pace. I put the beacons on and just did four more miles, did a little more than I was expecting, but it's because I feel pretty good. Pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good. Essentially I was running 810 to 840 a mile in the beacons. Like immediately I put them on and they felt like I could go a little faster. That was interesting. Now it could have just been that my legs were warmed up after running in the Torrens. Anyway, just an observation for you guys. All right, the first tip of the day for recovery days after a race. Make sure, this is very basic, but make sure you go out and run.  Now that's important too, and I'm gonna talk about that in a second, but you gotta get out and get the blood flowing, get the legs moving, and don't go fast. You don't need to go too fast, but you gotta get the legs moving so that you can come back to your house and stretch. And remember, DOMS, D-O-M-S, that stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. So even though you're not sore today, there's a good chance you're gonna be sore two days after a really hard race. So I'm expecting my legs to be sore tomorrow, Monday, when you're watching this. Therefore, the run, the day after the race, is really important to help alleviate a little bit of that DOMS Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. All right, let's see in the shed. Water, water, key for recovery, guys, key for recovery. All right, ran today in the beacons and the torrens. Before we dive into the ideas for recovering from a hard race, I want to talk first about the foot, the plantar fasciitis. I ran today. I ran actually went a little further than I expected, went six miles. In the beacons, my foot basically didn't hurt. There was definitely no sharp pain. So that's a bonus. I could I could basically feel it felt kind of like if somebody was pressing their thumbs into the bottom of your arch, just like not too hard, just gentle. So something definitely happened yesterday in the 5k when I was sprinting for the finish. Something happened. What is it? What it is I don't know yet. And again, let's wait till tomorrow morning to see if it's improving and trending in the right direction. So that's all I'm gonna say about the plantar fasciitis. Bottom line, I could run on it today with almost pain free. So I'm gonna leave it there. I'm gonna leave it there. Let's dive into some ideas for recovering from a hard race. And these are not like earth shattering ideas, just your basic recovery ideas. However, I bet, I bet down in the comments, you're gonna learn something more than what you're gonna listen to right now. All right, my first one. Put your legs up like I did today. Put your legs up in the recliner, read a book, watch a movie. I believe it's important to not only go run, which I already did got the legs loose, but also just to relax. And now it's a little too late for the lactic acid to essentially like drain out of your legs. But I just think like 45 minutes to an hour like I'm we're so active as runners.  But if you can, I believe it helps just take the edge off, especially if you're sore and tired. Alright, that's tip number one. Number two, epsom salt baths. So I'm a big fan of epsom salt. I've been doing it for years now. And essentially it's it helps your muscles relax. And I don't know all the science behind it. But I just you can either do like soak your leg in a bucket like I've been doing a lot for my plantar fasciitis, or you can do a full on bathtub. And I love doing both. And so that's my second idea.  Once again, it helps loosen your legs up. And like for a 5k, you know, it's hard to get really really sore after a 5k. But you know, I'd say anything over a 10 miler. Definitely.  Epsom salt. Look it up. Check it out. I think you'll enjoy it. Number three goes without saying but I will say it anyway, extra stretching. If you I'm going to go back inside here in a minute and do my night routine of stretching, just try to do a little extra stretching the day after a race. It cannot hurt. It cannot hurt. You're especially for me. My struggle is hamstrings. So oh, my hamstrings are so tight. And I really got to focus on those moving forward after race days. Number four, who doesn't love more sleep? Who does not love more sleep? So in college, my coach in college, Mark Wetmore, who by the way, they just won the national championship, the women's team. Congratulations, ladies. Okay, Mark Wetmore often talked about if you're running 80 miles a week, you need to be sleeping at least eight hours a night. 90 miles a week, nine hours of sleep at night, 100 miles a week. Don't go do that. But 10 hours of sleep at night. So I fully believe like the more sleep you can get, the more your body is going to regenerate. And as you may or may not know, like hard workouts, break down our muscles. And so they need to be built back up. And when they're built back up, they come back stronger. And so that HGH, the natural hormone that our body creates, I think it's the, oh man, the pituitary gland that creates this HGH. I'm not saying it right. But anyway, so more sleep is good for recovery. Don't be as afraid to hit that snooze button, hit that snooze button. And the fifth and final tip is very, okay, I struggle. I love coffee. I love wine. I love coffee. I love wine. I love, I like beer as well, but I've actually given up beer for 2018. But I love, I love coffee. I love wine. On the weekends, I like to drink coffee. And yes, you know, in the afternoon around four or five o'clock before dinner, I like to have a glass of wine. That's just, that's what I like to do. And so sometimes I struggle with getting enough water in me. Well, today, I mean, it's really, it's not serious, but like, I got to drink more. I got to drink more H2O. Water is so critical for our recovery from hard races. Don't be afraid to bump up your water intake just a little bit. And so to connect the water to the sleep, essentially, while you're sleeping, your kidney is helping, like, I'm not, I'm not a scientist, but it's basically helping process your, the electrolytes in your body so that you can absorb these nutrients and these electrolytes back into your system. And without enough water, your kidney can't do that properly. And again, I'm not the scientist, but just a little extra water goes a long way from my experience in helping bounce right back from a race. And there you go. Those are my five simple tips. Put your feet up, epsom salt bath, extra stretching, extra sleep, and a little extra water goes a long way for helping me personally recover from a hard race. And you know, again, five K's are hard, but I'm also talking about those half marathons, marathons, and beyond. And of course, the keyword of the day is recovery. I know you've been waiting for it. It's recovery. And the question of the day, what is your top tip? One tip. If you have more, great. But what is one thing that you do try to be as specific as possible for helping you recover from a hard race? All right. This is all about the comments down below. My ideas are pretty simple and straightforward. I'm excited to learn some new ideas from you guys. So comment below. I'd appreciate it. And it appears that a lot of you were racing this past weekend because you were tagging me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, letting me know about your results. And please keep that coming. Like I want to know how you guys are racing, what distance you're racing. And I think a couple of you PR'd in the 10k and maybe a half marathon. So congratulations. But I want to know how you're recovering right now. Okay. Tomorrow's vlog, just so you know, I'm going to reveal the winner of the running shoe that you remember you guys voted on. Which shoe you'd like me to purchase next? Well, I'm going to let you know in tomorrow's vlog. Come back tomorrow for that. And guys, we are wrapping it up. I got to go edit this video and go sleep so I can recover. All right. All right. Sleep beauty, work hard, and love each other. See you tomorrow.


Welcome Aloha, and thank you for joining us at think Tech Hawaii. Thank you for having us. And we have the honor and pleasure of having with us today, three people with a lot of leadership experience in a diverse range of areas, well beyond law into nursing state government and other areas and emerita. Randall University of Dayton School of Law now in Florida. Professor emerita and Davis from University of Toledo School of Law now visiting prof at Washington and Lee School of Law. And Doug Chen, good friend and former Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General of the state of Hawaii and share of our book and music festival. Doug has branched out into areas that reach out to truly all the community ages backgrounds, tastes and interests. So in thinking about leadership now and this is probably a timely moment to be doing that given elections in play in underway elections coming Hawaii's primary is next week. What are things going on. Not just what do we really need in leaders right now, but what do the leaders that we really need right now need to be able to do well to benefit our communities at all levels, local state national and others. Peter, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. What do you think our leaders really, really need to do well now. I guess I'll start as simply as possible and I'll remember the, like one of my first mentors was actually Peter Carlisle. He was a prosecuting attorney for Honolulu for for several years. He eventually became the mayor of Honolulu and that's how I moved over into city government and served with him as the managing director. It was so simple, but I remember then I was just in my 30s, and I get caught up in, you know, what's the right thing to do in this case and how do I strategize this and what should I plan to do. And he would always just look at me and say you got to do what's right. It's overly simplistic. But, but I think it, it makes a lot of sense because thinking about what's right and focusing on that kind of gets you away from all the calculations of, you know, what is expedient or what is, what is practical or what will allow me to remain in power, or what will allow me to remain well liked and well regarded by people and be able to get other things done. There's so many, there's so many motivations that go into decisions that are made. And, and a lot of them just are ones that need to be sifted out. And so, and so I think about decisions about the police commission as well. So, so that's that's how we made some big decisions yesterday. And I was just thinking about how a lot of the commissioners were kind of focused on different decisions for why we should be what should be guiding our decisions, and ultimately where we coalesced around was well I think we just got to do what's the right thing to do in this situation and we took action in that regard. That's a great place to start Professor Randall. You've been involved in leadership in healthcare and academics and government over many years. What do you think leaders really need to be able to do best now. I think the great question and coming from my typically as to mystic point of view. I have come to believe I didn't always believe this but I have come to believe that incremental change is problematic. The systems can change to undo, incorporate co op, or otherwise do incremental change. And the problem becomes, I think if we have incremental change that was always going to build upon itself. And the people who were going to come get in was going to always build upon it. I might not be so pessimistic. But what I see from increment what I have seen over my lifetime is that different people bring in different priorities, different ideas about what is right. And whatever incremental change you think you have made in a system, they're unwilling, they're willing to undo. So I think we need leaders prepared to say, we're ready to go bold, we're ready to ignore system norms, policies, procedures, processes, because that's what God is here today.  It may end up going home true enough but incremental change is, is problematic to me. That's a great insight. Ben, I can kind of hear the wheels turning in your head. You've got some thoughts on this. I second both of your comments. For what it's for what it's worth. I'm a strong believer in individuals experiencing what I call a contradiction between what they think is right. And what is going on outside in society, in terms of something, whatever it could be in any area. And I think that the difference in leadership is, is the capacity for people to not just sort of go along with to get along with that contradiction. But to try to find some way in to, to, to fight back against that contradiction between what they think is right. And what the society is throwing at them. Now, in a big, we're all at different levels, it might best be somebody writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper. That is the thing that they're capable doing obviously some other people may be giving money, or something like that some things running for office. Sometimes it's choices of jobs, but I'm strong believer in that being willing to recognize you're experiencing a contradiction between what you've been raised to understand is right. And what society is throwing at you, and to not just let the other priorities, getting your way because, for example, right now, one of the things that I think about is that I can't see how any self respecting American whatever their political persuasion, could vote for a candidate who has not broken with Donald Trump. I just, I don't care, you know, you can vote for other Republicans and all that stuff. But it just makes no sense to me that after all we've seen at this point that. We've seen people who are so called leaders. And I see who breaks with with the risks, and who didn't, you know, and reveal something about their cowardice. Is that sufficient. Breaking with Donald Trump is that sufficient is getting Joe Biden in for another four years sufficient. I'm not saying anything is sufficient. Okay, I'm just saying that that basic kind of thing of breaking with Donald Trump look how hard it is. Look at how. Yeah, but we won't even break with Biden. I, you know, if we're going to talk about breaking with the leadership of a party, which I don't disagree. Let's talk about breaking with Biden. I'm happy to, I'm happy to talk about breaking with Biden. But the point that I'm just trying to focus on is that, you know, there was the insurrection, you know, on January 6. That was like enormous to me. And, and everything that I've watched at this January 6 committee. And I'm just like, how can people in good conscience, or whatever reason, opportunistically, vote for anybody who wasn't broken with that vote for anybody who still believes in the big lie we just saw Arizona.    All right. That's not that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting neither Republican or Democrat that they both are problematic but when we, when we tee up the golf ball. Who hasn't broken with Trump, without TNF the golf ball of who hasn't broken with Biden, then we set ourselves up to continue the ineffective leadership that we have in the Democratic Administration, because all we're looking at is whether or not they broke with Trump. Okay, but okay, well, then I would start. I'll start with that one. Beyond that, the, the other thing that I, I just look like in leaders is, I don't know if all of you are getting these but I certainly been getting a lot of requests for donations. Since the Dobbs decision, enormous amounts of donations for the elections coming up this fall. And my thing was that no, that's not good enough. You know, you got to do things now, and then we'll take a look later. Okay. Yeah, so it's been looking at doing things now. And one of the things that I was really happy to see was was yesterday, the day before is the Kansas vote with people in Kansas said no, or hell no to getting rid of women's rights. But I've also seen that there have been efforts to pass laws that will codify various types of rights of privacy at the federal level. And now they're in the Senate, having to deal with those things. That's now, not after the election, I want that now, and see how far people will go to the wall to try to change those laws to address it. That's what I call leadership now, not just giving money and you know the pie in the sky in the fall after your elections I promise I'll be the guy, or the woman to do this thing, but it's like right now what are you doing to make sure that basic human rights are being preserved. That's, that's kind of what I look for, because I sense a lot of people and I really going through, particularly horrific times, since that doubts decision. Not from what I, when I read about it all. There's other decisions that are there, but let's say there aren't other horrific, but I'm just saying that there's like serious trauma going on. And whether you're trying to address it right now, or not, is kind of part of what leadership is to me, I don't know. Let me ask a question is, we know, whether it's public or private sector that really effective leadership has to assemble and unify, and bring together and move forward with teams the things that Doug, Professor Randall, been are talking about all can't be done by individuals requires different teams that span different areas. Doug you've been in city and state leadership is collaborative leadership in these times, even possible. I think it's possible at the city level. I think it gets, I guess, it gets much harder once you go into that I'll say I think it's harder once you go into the state level. And then it gets extremely hard when you get to the federal level. And I think it's just because a lot more polarizing issues take place. So I think at a lower level, when you're not talking about morals or values or things like that. You're just talking about how are we going to get the street fixed, or how are we going to build some infrastructure. I think there's a lot less of that. A lot less of that polarized polarization that I think we see happen. And so I think there's a lot more room for collaboration. I've actually been listening carefully to what everyone's been saying and I find I learned a lot in the last 10 minutes because I think when I was first. It helped me to rethink about what I was talking about because, first of all, I talked about doing what's right. And I think I, and now that I've listened to what everybody else was saying I think I meant more in the sense of doing what's right and shifting aside. The idea is that well this will not be a popular decision or this will I won't be liked because of this decision. I think I've learned from mentors and from experience that that it's better just to do what's right because ultimately that's what you got to live with at the end of the day. When I heard a big challenge I liked what I was very interested in what I was hearing about how, you know, sometimes incremental change might not be something that we were all trying to go for might not actually create the the effect or the result that that we're looking for. Because then what I think about is, is that I think about well practically speaking, when you get into those polarized areas. The only way that such can be made the only way that anything can go forward is to have compromise because if you don't have compromise, then nothing happens at all. And so I found that very interesting to hear about, well, maybe we shouldn't be trying for incremental change and then I and then I think we then went into a discussion about, you know, certain. What I'd call like threshold issues, you know, sort of like well you know if you if you believe the big lie, you know, you need to reject the big lie or you need to, you know, you need to take a strong stand on abortion rights or you need to take a strong stand on one issue. I think that's where things get a lot more complicated. What was what was awesome about the abortion vote in Kansas is it was so simple, right so it was just it's a very simple value that people were either for or against and the voters spoke. I think when it comes to, are we going to be supporting, are we going to be supporting Biden or are we going to be rejecting Trump. Then that it's it's so much more complicated, right because it's not it's not just one. It's not just one thing going on with Biden or it's not just one thing going on President Biden, there's a lot of different things happening. And so, and so the decisions that people make might be based on well I don't like it because of this or I don't like it because of that. But then how do you how do you deal with a president who has 100 things that you could like or not like about them. And you could say well, I'm going to vote for them or I'm not going to vote for them or I'm going to vote for a third candidate that there's no possibility that they would win, which essentially means my vote is is not, you know, it's it's in a practical perspective. I've lived with my conscience but I haven't necessarily had an effect on that. And maybe there's a long term effect because you know the 10,000 people who voted for a small candidate that that evolves into something over time. So, I hope that made sense but I really appreciate what I'm hearing because I think it makes me think a lot about, like, you know, leadership and also how do you get something done in a polarizing polarized society. This may be it may be different for you in Hawaii, but city politics, school board politics, city council politics in Dayton, Ohio was hugely problematic, especially for those in the community that felt unrepresented by the politics, which turned, which was either Democrat or Republican, and especially for the West side of Dayton, which was black. And so, I would haven't worked there for 30 years I, I found that city politics, when there's a division within the population. That is not clean either that that and often. I'll give you an example. We just wanted the school board to stop suspending kindergarten to third graders. That just seemed the right thing to do. And everybody on our side thought it was the right thing to do but the school board for some reason couldn't put their minds around doing that and I don't want to go into the but but the thing is is that, and there was a big division and it was really affected by those suspensions were black hits black K in the garden to third graders were being disproportionately suspended compared to white and Hispanic kids. So, you would think so it I think that that. So I said, the that city politics can also be as froth with mind holes as state municipal and being and I, my own feeling coming out of the all of the work that I did that is, we really needed someone to blow up the school board. Not physically blow it up, but just get on the school board and say no, no. No, this is not right what you're doing no, we're not going to have these close meetings. No, we're going to vote for where we're going to have to publicly explain why you don't want why you're willing to allow this to continue. We needed someone who was who was going to be an advocate for us on the city council for police on the school board for the city council for for funding for this, the West Dayton, and for the school board so would that be effective, probably not. But what has been happening isn't effective either.  Yeah, it's like the Yeah, one thing that strikes me in what you're saying. Professor Randall is the idea of what is the nature of civility, what is the nature of decorum in those spaces. And when you're talking about extremely desperate feeling things for those parents of those kids who are kindergarteners to third graders, being confronted by a kind of system that is basically not valuing their kids. This is huge pain you understand that I'm trying to speak to that, and you're going up before a school board that seems tone deaf and the rules of the core and civility are such that you're the impact of what you're trying to do. Kind of lost, because you're supposed to be playing the second order game of sort of, did you wear the right clothes or did you speak with the right accent or, you know, or this kind of thing. And I see that there's a lot of that sort of formalism, if I could say it like that, that is distracting from the substance of the actual complaints that people have. And one of the things that we've seen most recently just take the whole situation you value. Okay, that whole process that it's gone through for months now to find out what really went on. And then as and all the efforts to distract to deflect to deny to hide, you know, and it's still going forward right. I just saw today, something that makes me think of one of the things that is about leadership this being willing to be the lawyer to take the case to bring the lawsuit. I mean if you look at this case about Sandy hook and Alex Jones. That's where they had to get to to counter the fakeness being said. The other one is the Breonna Taylor case that's just got put in. So, that's the other side of it to, you know, which is for police officers are being charged on the federal level, but they've been a whole state local process that absolve them. And sometimes it's the lawsuit that has to be the one. But then that's a very inefficient way of doing things too is that these lawsuits is a way of countering, you know, the kinds of oppression. Especially the settlements. As we know settlements, don't change the law. And it really drives me crazy that a lot of the civil rights leadership is using settlements. And that gets money to the family. Maybe there's something in the settlement that changes how police operate or the school board operates, but that is not disclosed in fact one change leadership things we could make is to say there will be no such things as private settlements. And they go to certain issues. If they involve. And if they involve the police if they involve the school board if they found any level of government. If they involve discrimination. Even in corporations. Settlement sign private. Because the public has an interest in knowing and messing aside. That's sorry. So how do we connect those dots between the moral and ethical courage and boldness that you're talking about to do the right thing and truly prioritizing protection and support for the interests of those who have been most marginalized. Most underserved. Because that's the theme that we're hearing underneath this. These are the people who are still being left out, who are still being essentially victimized by the deficiencies in those leadership qualities to have the courage to do that. Are there people out there now who exhibit any of that kind of moral and ethical courage. When it comes to thinking about things taking a perspective of short view or a long term view. And, and maybe there's a bit of a balance of, you know, when you apply the short view and when you apply the long term view. The example that I think about. It doesn't necessarily go to advocating for disadvantaged populations, but I think about Liz Cheney. And just, you know, the leadership role that she took in the January 6 commissioner she was allowed to take by the by the people who were part of the January 6 Commission. I mean, we'll see whether or not she's voted out because she took that position. But clearly, she was looking at things from a long term point of view. And so, and and was guided by that principle in terms of how she was going to be running the community or how she was going to be conducting herself on the commission and the statements that she was going to be making. I think a lot of her colleagues have a short term view. And so that's why they end up saying what they say. And so anyway, that's that that's someone who jumps out as somebody who, you know, would have would have that kind of principle in mind. Are there others out there Ben. I mean, I think that probably the most influential non political person for me is Reverend barber and his efforts to build coalitions in different parts of the country as part of the poor people's campaign. I think for the years that I've seen him working and I think Reverend Theodorus, the two of them together. It has had a concentration on the most vulnerable parts of our society. And they've had some successes in some places, you know, but they didn't seem to ever lose sight of the ball, if I could say it like that they seem to be very clear and what they're doing they haven't been, you know, bought off or something like that in some co opted way we talked about being co opted before. And, you know, that has been, you know, just a really an example of leadership, at least in my view, that really is focused on the least of these. Insights so in our last couple of minutes, when I ask each of you, what would you most want to see or hear from someone who was a candidate for a leadership position to make you think maybe this person offers at least some of the kind of hope we need. Mr. Randall. Recognition of the flaws of the existing system. That's and how, and I see this at state at local state and federal level. And how the exists that the existing one party system capitalism has with two branches Democrats and Republicans have contributed to a system where we're locked in because we force people to choose make choices that they're unhappy with. And just so that the other side doesn't get in. I want public recognition that I want people to say that, and to say while I may be running as a Republican or Democrat are an independent or green party. I are socialist. I recognize that we have a one party system. And that as long as we continue to have this one party system. It's going to be difficult to make change. I'm going to do the best I can under the system if you elect me. You don't hear people say that. Yeah, people don't talk about what's broken in order to be able to talk about how to fix it. Doug your thoughts you've been in government leadership. Sure, I think in effective leaders, they, they govern through fear and through anger resentment and through power and control. Whereas I think effective leaders they they have vision. They, they're, they have the ability to inspire people. And I think as cynical as we want to get about everything that's that's really, those are the leaders who really stand out for me. Ben, you want to finish us up for today. Yeah, I would say that leaders who see the flaws, see the poor, see the middle class and see doing things for them to make their lives better. I wanted to think of when you look at these billionaires and all that. I remember that TV show borders, where you see this person with the house with all this incredible stuff. Well, I look at them as being borders of money. Right. They look they need interventions because their relationship to money is very, very sick. And when you think of the, the income. You know, I think average salaries or something since 1970 have not increased for the average worker in the United States while they've been these productivity gains all through there that are essentially gone. It's like no more that's got to go back in the pockets of the poor in the middle class. I'm not, I'm not held up on $15 an hour, you know, I might be $30. The number is, but that there's got to be more going into poor people's pockets and more health care for poor people and more good schools for poor people so it's not related to your property tax and what area, and, and more.  Excuse me.  I see these kids, you know, and I'm just like, look at all that brightness and magic, right. And then, you know, has it been encouraged, or has it been sort of the beating down of life and so bad. So to me it's like, leaders who do that. All right, you know, don't worry about the rich folks the rich folks will always take care of themselves, but make sure that you know food clothing shelter health care for the poor and jobs, those kind of things bread and butter. Those are indeed the questions. We have a horribly broken imbalance between privilege at one end of the spectrum and protections for those at the other end of the spectrum. It's, it needs to change we need to think and talk about what that's going to look like, and what needs to happen to get there. Thank you all for your. Wonderful contributions.
