Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, accompanied by Ambassador Keel. Well, if there ever was occasion where someone did need an introduction, it's now. But I can't help expressing my own personal gratitude, Mr. President, for your taking time to come by on behalf of all of your, in fact, American citizens here to greet them. You've already heard from your colleagues how important your visit here is for NATO. And I know personally, in fact, the demands on your time, so it's with great deal of appreciation that we, in fact, have you come by and greet us. I know when you asked me to come over as Ambassador NATO a year ago, and we were looking ahead to the last two years of your term, and there were doubters out there saying that there couldn't be much left to accomplish, or that the curtain was coming down. And I'll never forget you're saying they ain't seen nothing yet. And there aren't any doubters here. It's very clear that we not only was there a lot left to be done, but a lot has been done, and a lot, in fact, we anticipate will be done. We just want you to know that we agree with you that you have saved the best for your last act. And we're just very proud to be part of your act. Mr. President. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Well, thank you very much. Those people that are talking lame duck and nothing much left to do and so forth forgot about the business I used to be in. You don't quit before the third curtain. Well, let me say how much I appreciate the important work which all of you do here at NATO and particularly the great deal of work which I know went into this summit meeting. NATO is a very busy place to work because it has a very ambitious agenda to make the world safer and freer for ourselves and for our children. NATO is not a passive alliance which reacts only when it has to. It's a dynamic alliance which seeks to create opportunities for advancing peace and freedom. And that's why I consider NATO the greatest alliance in history. And all of you bear great responsibility and deserve great credit as our representatives to it. This summit meeting reaffirmed my view that recent successes such as the INF agreement can be followed by many others if NATO remains strong and unified. This probably means more work for you. But I know you expect that because that's why you're at NATO. I thank you for this work that your country thanks you History will also thank you because in the end result there's no more work or no work that is more important. I have just finished telling our companions there, our colleagues in NATO what a unique situation this is. Sitting around that circle in there and that big circle and looking at those other heads of state and remembering how many wars and what a history of wars are between those very countries that are represented there. And today here we are all together in an alliance for the purpose of reserving the peace and stopping wars. And I think it's a very unique thing that has happened in all the world so finally it came our turn and so there's no end to the importance of all that you are doing here and our pride in you for doing that. I could get tempted to go on here and how many times can I say thank you. I just thank you and God bless you all for what you are doing here. Thank you very much. Can I take just a second and tell a little joke here? I have a new hobby. Our time is your time. Well I have a new hobby and it is telling jokes that I can absolutely establish are jokes told by the people of the Soviet Union among themselves which incidentally reveal a great sense of humor in their part but also a certain cynical attitude toward their system. And this joke I actually told to Mr. Gorbachev I couldn't resist. This came from their country. It seems that they issued an order that the motorcycle policemen were to give tickets for speeding no matter how important the individual was. They were to get a ticket. One day General Secretary Gorbachev came out of his country place. He was due at the Kremlin. He was late getting started. He told his driver to get in the back seat and he would drive and down the road they went. They passed two motorcycle cops and one of them took out after him. A few minutes he rejoined his companion. He had them and said well did you give him a ticket? He said no. Well he said why not? He said this was too important. Well we were told no matter who it was they were to get a ticket. Who was it? He said I couldn't recognize him but his driver was Gorbachev. Let's shake a couple of hands and we'll be welcome. All right. I know I can't do this for everyone.


This is Stink Tech, Hawaii. Community Matters here. Okay, we're back, we're live. I'm Jay Fidel and today is a given Tuesday. And we're talking about energy, Hawaii, the state of clean energy. We love to talk about energy. There's so many things happening in energy. And we have to get perspective on it. You know, on Wednesdays we do energy in America. And today we're going to look at Canada a little bit and see the effect. See it from the Canadian point of view. And with us for this purpose, we have a Canadian right here in our studio. Ken Rogers, a 50 year friend of mine, 55 year friend of mine, who's here from Canada, who's visiting and who can speak to oil and gas because he's been in oil and gas forever, I can. Well, how are you today? Yeah. So tell us, what's the status of oil and gas in Western Canada because it's an important source of those items? Well, an important piece is you can't separate Canadian oil and gas from American oil and gas. There's a sufficient integration that it's kind of one market. But Canadian oil and gas varies dramatically relative to almost any country in the world. Canada has a huge amount of oil and gas that is not pumping into the market. Canada has offshore oil and gas north of Newfoundland, right where all the icebergs flow in the spring, making it one of the more dangerous places to have the large oil platforms. But the experience in the North Sea is exactly what proved to be workable there. And there's a Canadian company that's developed from a small company into one of the world's giants, Husky, that is key in that whole area of Canada. The majority of oil and gas most people think comes from Alberta. But really there are the three most Western provinces are loaded with oil and gas. And the oil and gas has a couple of unique features. One is what people call heavy oil and gas. Some people use derogatory term tar sands to describe one of the biggest resources is really oil sands. Tar is like the tar pit in Los Angeles as opposed to this is just sand with the oil mixed in it. Athabasca. That's where the tar sands are? Yes, or Fort McMurray if you watch the news with some of the spectacular fires other than nose in California. Burning oil. Well, it wasn't the oil actually it didn't damage any of the oil facilities. It just about ruined the city that almost 100,000 people city that had the flames totally around it. And the fire crews were good enough. You tend to see lots of spectacular things on the news on how good these crews are. But that was one of the showcases for the world to see the. That they can put it out. Yeah, and ridiculous scale of fire and heat like the more recent stuff in California. But anyhow that heavy oil is one of the most interesting things about oil and gas is because American interests that like to influence the rest of the world. Not the government itself, but rather what I'd like to call the American plutocrats create these phony public interest groups. Activists, but they're fake activists. Yes, and they pay the Canadian Indians or we tend to use more polite terms than that usually in Canada. But they in effect pay them to object to having any pipelines whatsoever that go to the West Coast to ship any of the oil sands. Why would these big plutocratic interests do that? Because they own the refineries that can process it. They wanted to stay at the refineries. Well, the biggest refinery is in Minneapolis and then the rest are on the Gulf Coast. But that heavier oil takes slightly considerably different processing, but you do very little to it chemically. And it's then the same as every other bit of oil that works for your gasoline or for petrochemicals, etc. The other area for which there are refineries are on the Gulf Coast and they're all owned by the same group of American billionaires and the ones that are paying for the phony show and tell arguments about you shouldn't have a pipeline that could send this oil anywhere except us. Interesting. So what does that fit with Keystone? Well, Keystone just feeds the refineries on the coast because the oil sands probably has the one play that has as much oil as all the U.S. has. I mean it's just absolutely humongous. It's like Saudi Arabia scale. But it's not like when you say Athabasca, but it's an area that's probably bigger than New Jersey. And it's all oil sand? Yes. Tar or whatever. It's not tar. It's actually oil mixed with sand and the difference is how deep it is. Now the first, well a huge portion of it you can mine simply with open pit, dig it up with a big shovel, stick it on a truck, take it over to a conveyor boat, belt, roll it into a huge plant that simply separates the sand from the oil. How do you do that? I mean, chemically?  You're melting it out of the sand? Yeah. And it's lighter or heavier than the sand? It's heavier. So then you can just drop it at the bottom? Yeah, because if you're dealing with oil sands that's deeper than you could do with open pit mining, they have a process, they call it SAG-D, you know, where it really is pumping hot water into the ground in a pipe and causing it to separate from the sand there and then gathering it below that level where you've melted it in a pipe the same way you would gather from a normal oil well. So you're processing it there and that part of SAG-D, you're processing it in the ground? Yes, well, some, it's probably one of the leading areas in the world for research and all of the companies, oddly, have worked well together. You know, the world giants like Shell Oil and Exxon and they're all there in some form or another, now a lot of them have reduced their positions in the oil sands because of the inability to get pipelines to the west coast. Because of the political resistance to that? Well, it's not political as much as it's been these phony... Plutocratic. Plutocratic resistance, if you will, using agents. Yes, unfair games. Okay. However, it is there, but I think that the research that's there is making it a much better environmental type of scenario than it has been historically. And I think Canada generally is far more environmentally conscious than all of our rules are far stricter than the US. Interesting. Like the one that I find most interesting has to do with fracking or this is where they... Now we're talking about gas for a minute, yeah. Well, no, really the major reason that the US is more energy self-sufficient or oil self-sufficient is because of what's called Shell Oil or Tight Oil. And this is where in order to get the oil out you need to pump down the well a bunch of sand and chemicals to basically break the rock deep underground. And that process in Canada is far more restricted than the US. In the US you can have fracking just a few hundred yards from an elementary school in Canada. You can't get anywhere near anything that... Look at what fracking is done in the state of Oklahoma, you know, with multiple seven, eight hundred small earthquakes every year because, arguably, because of fracking in Oklahoma, yeah. Well, I mean depending on how you measure earthquake, I mean the whole point of any underground explosion, I mean if you're simply doing seismic to try to determine what is the formation, you set off a minor underground explosion and you could measure that in the surface. Would you call that an earthquake? I wouldn't. No, but what my understanding is that in Oklahoma homes are regularly damaged by the size of these small earthquakes. And people have to fix their homes all the time or replace them because of this. There's a lot worse than that occurring and a lot of it is the very difference between the Canadian and American regulations with regard to fracking. You know, in Canada you can't do fracking at the same shallow depth that you can do in the US. You have to prove in Canada in a much more rigorous way that the fracking is not going to affect the local water table. The most jolting things on fracking are when you can see somebody turn on a water tap and click a match to it and the water burns. That is jolting. And those demos are part of why you've had resistance in places like Pennsylvania where there's this shale gas that's there, that they have a fear of fracking because they've seen these horror movies. If they adopted the standard that Canada uses, fracking could be no problem at all. Well, I shouldn't use no problem, but the risks and any concerns that would arise from those risks are just so minimal. And if they're not tight enough or not tough enough, you change the rules and regulations a little worse, which keeps peace to why the Canadian industry is doing well. It's a big industry and it includes drilling for oil in the East. It includes, may I say, the tar sands. Is it the wrong term? The oil sands. Being from Canada, if I called it tar sands, somebody thumped me a couple times. So you've got plenty of oil and I take it you've got plenty of gas too. Oh, natural gas, Canada probably has a couple hundred years supply in let's take some formations in northeast British Columbia. That's, you know, if you were taking the Alaska Highway, you know, about 300 miles before you make it to Alaska, you'd be driving through these humongous fields or areas and they're, you know, much bigger in area than the oil sands area that I mentioned. I mean, they're the size of an average U.S. state. So your market is global. You have an export market in energy, oil and gas that goes global. Not quite. Well, natural gas for many places is limited to where you can ship it by a pipeline. Well, then you have a industry that's one of the more successful and growing parts of the energy industry is what's called liquid natural gas. So a country like Japan. That's LNG, isn't it? Yes, LNG. We have, we've been talking about LNG here for a while. Oh, well, you should be if you're interested in anything to do with the energy in the U.S. or the world. But the key places where it has an effect is somewhere like Japan, where what do you use to produce energy in Japan? And nuclear was obviously their number one pick until Fukushima. Well, if you're going to bring in coal, you know, to burn for a power plant or you're going to bring in oil to burn for a power plant, well, coal is cheaper. So, you know, but what do you do? Well, natural gas is an awful lot cleaner. It produces less CO2 and other, you know, ridiculous, what they call GHGs, greenhouse gases, the pollution, the air that natural gas is far better. And so Canada has this, you know, probably more than 100 years supply for Canada and the U.S. only if you limited it to that. But the U.S. is a huge percentage of the world market. Well, as is the natural gas really only goes, it's either Canada or the U.S. Yeah. And because we have no liquid natural gas. Now the equivalent of keystone pipeline for natural gas, the natural gas distribution network is pretty good around the U.S. So where the U.S. has approved liquid natural gas plants, the Canadian side has the same effort to prevent natural gas making it to the West Coast as well. The same kind of phony objections. Yeah. And part of it is, well, why not send the natural gas through the U.S. so that it can be then put into LNG at a U.S. port for some U.S. billionaires firm or the equivalent. But like the world's international oil companies aren't, you know, angels of the world either, even though in Canada they're good citizens generally. Well, so it's a lot of revenue for sure. Let me take a short break, Ken. Ken Rogers, retired Canadian businessman who is well skilled in oil and gas and many other businesses, important businesses in Canada. And it gives him advantage, a special observation of how energy works. And I'm going to take a short break. But before we do, I'd like to just get one of his quotes because he's got these great quotes. Pick one quote for us, Ken. Well, one I thought was an interesting one was a member of parliament said to Disraeli that's an ancient British prime minister.  There you go. It's Canadian humor, but it's also British humor. We'll be right back after this break. My name is Mark Schwab. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea. Law Across the Sea comes on every other Monday at 11 a.m. Please join us. I like to bring in guests that talk about all types of things that come across the sea to Hawaii, not just law, love, people, ideas, history. Please join us for Law Across the Sea, Allah. Hi, I'm Pete McGinnis-Mark and every Monday at one o'clock I present Think Tech Hawaii's Research in Manila where we bring together researchers from across the campus to describe a whole series of scientifically interesting topics of interest both to Hawaii and around the world. So hopefully you can join me one o'clock Monday afternoon for Think Tech Hawaii's Research in Manila. Okay, we're back. We're live with Ken Rogers, a retired Canadian businessman. We're talking about oil and gas. And we're also talking about climate change and those two things react, at least from his point of view. But before we get to that subject, I just want to get one more quote from you, Ken. What do you got? Well, with respect to the American billionaires that do the fuddleduddles with the American oil industry, I'd like to say they have all the virtues I dislike and none of the virtues I admire. I borrowed that from Wynton Church. It wasn't my own brilliant use of words. Okay, so we know that Canada has huge supply of natural resources like these. And I wonder if Canada is into renewables, I mean non-fossil fuels. And I wonder if Canada thinks about climate change and the larger environmental picture on the world today. And where that fits in a country that is so wealthy in terms of fossil fuel energy. I would say Canada is far more environmentally conscious than the US and far more active in doing something about it than the US. Now one of the first things that I think is important in that regard is that the use of fossil fuels for energy is not simply going to go away. It's going to be with us for a long time. Why do you say that? Why can't we replace it with renewables? Do you call nuclear a renewable? No. Well, it sort of is. Sort of is, but there are one of the historical objections, if you will. Well, if you leave out nuclear, and let's suppose you're going to say, or you make the assumption we're going to have all electric cars sometime soon. Okay, let's assume that. Well, where are you going to get the power to charge up the electric car? From the utility. Well, where is the utility going to generate the power? Big question. Because you simply cannot generate it from a combination of wind, solar, and geothermal. Why not? Or let's call it normal geothermal. Why not? Right now we curtail on wind. And we have more solar during the day than we can use. And, you know, we have to use batteries to try to level it and sort of store it for overnight use. So if I have too much at a given time during the day, why can't I charge all the cars with the excess? Well, you can't produce enough. Okay. I mean, you can have these humongous solar farm, and they really produce diddly squat in energy.  We have some of that, actually. You have lots of it, not as much as Canada fortunately has. It's not harness, but we do have some hydro. Right. And you have some of the Canadian facilities, particularly, you know, in the northeast area that produced electricity by hydro and exported to the U.S., similarly from right north of Minneapolis, the province called Manitoba, does hydro. Waterfalls and all that. Yeah. Well, Canada's blessed with probably 25% of the world's fresh water. And lots of it goes downhill sufficiently that you can produce power with that momentum or the energy caused by the water momentum. However, wind farms, you know, you've got a bunch of wind farms on the big island in particular. Well, if you ever get anywhere close to them, you know, they're awful thing. They're ugly. They're noisy.  They have, like, everything has a problem. But the problem gets exaggerated when you do them in great quantity. If you take a country like Denmark, which has, you know, way ahead of Canada or the U.S. in attempts to have, you know, renewable energy, but really they want to have energy to avoid the problem of escalating costs and the fossil fuels. It wasn't solely because it was environmentally wonderful. It was a combination of cost and that. And so do we. It's energy security, you know. We don't want it jumping up when the barrel of oil jumps up. But if you tried to propose, you know, all along Santa Barbara and areas near Los Angeles, well, we'll have all these offshore wind farms like Denmark. You know, I'm sure the public would say, not a chance. They'd ruin all our beaches.  People here feel the same way. And you can't go boating. You know, an awful lot of sane people would say, that's just an unacceptable alternate in that scale if you could take way up on the top of Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa. You know, especially... Mauna Kea is somewhat problematic these days. Yeah, on the side that nobody's looking at. And if you can put a bunch way up there in the wind, that's a wonderful choice. Now, you know, Canada's blessed with having, you know, one-tenth the population of the United States in roughly the same total geographical area if you count Alaska. You know, otherwise it's considerably larger than the U.S. in the area. So we have tons of places you could put wind farms. You know, like I live in British Columbia. Well, British Columbia is full of mountains like Switzerland and Austria, but the size of British Columbia is more than twice the size of California. So how far advanced is wind in Canada, especially in western Canada, especially in those mountains? Are you making great headway or building a lot of wind turbines? There are a lot of wind turbines. And interestingly, you have major energy companies are the ones that are... Like oil companies.  They have stood in their head to experiment with every alternate to fossil fuels. And one of the reasons they keep pushing the fossil fuels is they recognize the economics of the renewables. You know, they're not all that wonderful. You take away monstrous subsidies and they don't work, but what a lot of people miss is how subsidized the oil and gas industry is, you know, whether it's the United States or Canada or anywhere else in the world. I mean, it's one of the most ridiculously subsidized industries in the world and it shouldn't be. Shouldn't be. Not anymore. Not when you're concerned about climate change. Which takes me to the whole thing about climate change. So, I mean, I understand that we're kind of wedded to fossil fuel, at least for a while. That it's not clear that we can replace it entirely. In Hawaii, we want to replace it entirely by 2045 or earlier. We want to use solar and maybe some wind and maybe expand our geothermal capability and who knows what else. It's, you know, the idea is to have a portfolio. But by 2045, no fossil fuel left. Now we may or may not reach that. People aspire to that. They ideate to that. But, you know, I guess where I come out is if you're right, if we are still going to need fossil fuel going forward, if we really can't move it to 100% here or elsewhere on a regular consistent basis, how does that affect the climate? I know people in Canada are, you know, thinking about this. You're environmental or more environmental than we are. But how do you deal with climate change when you know there's a connection between fossil fuel and GHG, the greenhouse gas, you know, and sea level rise and all that's so connected. So how do you deal with that? Well, the first thing you need to do is say, how can you use fossil, instead of saying, let's absolutely not have any fossil fuels, how can you use fossil fuels without ruining the environment? You know, and one of the well-established procedures is sequestration. You can have a power plant that produces greenhouse gases out of the smokestack. Well, simply, you know, collect the greenhouse gases coming out of the smokestack and pump it back down into the reservoir that the oil came from, or whatever it was, let's say natural gas. And the major oil companies, again, are leading the charge on how do you do this? There's a fantastic program going on where I think it's Shell Oil that's leading the way using one of the biggest platforms, these offshore mega-platforms like the one the BP blew up in the Gulf. Well, about the biggest one that was in the North Sea, which are, you know, the most weather-resistant ones ever built. And Shell Oil is pumping CO2 through the pipelines and back into the reservoirs. Interesting. You say pipelines. Yeah, underwater. So it goes down again. Yeah, like when they did the oil in the North Sea, an awful lot of it, they had the big rigs and then they built an undersea pipeline that went either to Norway or to Northern Scotland, you know, from these huge fields, and that's the way the oil flowed. Well, now that the oil is gone from some of those fields. It does happen. Well, this is underway now in a big scale. Now, Canada has several of these CO2 sequestration projects where they, you know, are in use and being used, but if you simply increase the scale of those, if you required them legally. To do sequestration with every oil well? Well, not every oil well or every field.  Is there a negative side to that? I mean, is that going to have an environmental impact when you pump it on down and put it in the same cavity again? It could. If you again, it's much like the importance of regulation. Like, I think the United States is somewhere insane to be reducing regulations, especially on the oil and gas industry. At this point in time, use a simple example. You know, if you're pumping CO2 deep underground, you know, it's a liquid with enough pressure and the heat in depth. It converts into a liquid form, so it's an awful lot smaller than in gas form, but nevertheless, it has a lot of pressure. So how much are you going to pump in there? Well, you better not pump too much more than there used to be oil. So you have to do research and you have to regulate it and you have to monitor them. Well, research is kind of easy because the oil company would have stood in their head to research what was in that well in the first place and what all the pressures were and did they need fracturing. I mean, it's a fantastically sophisticated industry. Oh, yeah. Well, that's the thing and certainly through you I have come to know how sophisticated it is throughout Canada. But you know, one thing, it strikes me that it's a kind of an interesting analysis to say, look, we've got a lot of resources and Canada is kind of a, it's a learning experience for Americans to see how things work in Canada. And what I get is that we have a lot of fossil fuel left. We have a lot of technology that we have now and that will evolve. We have ways to control the amount of greenhouse gases that go up from standard fossil fuel mining. And so this does affect the view going forward. And I really wonder, with all of that, considering all of that, where do you think we're going on this? Is it that we'll never, ever get to 100% renewable energy in this world? A lot of people really want that for a lot of reasons. Or is it that we will, or is it that we will? Is it that at some point, you know, it's like the Karl Marx withering of the state. At some point, fossil fuels will wither. And we will be able to use renewables for everything in the world with appropriate storage. So my question is, will that come? Will that happen? Do you see that on the horizon? The way you define renewables leaving out nuclear. Leaving out nuclear. Not a chance, okay? So if you're using hydropower, wind, solar, and geothermal, the answer is, you won't make it. Now remember that oil and gas is used for everything else. Like the shirt I'm wearing, and the bell type air. Furniture, what have you. And your glasses, the rim, and probably the glass in it. We forget that sometimes. All kinds of things. Salad dressing.  It's not polluted awful stuff.   You know, for example. We only have a minute left. Okay. All the permafrost, if you're going to melt the ice in Antarctica, Greenland, Canada, and Russia, you're going to release a ton of methane. And methane is probably 15 times as much of a contributor to greenhouse gas. Like greenhouse gas simply warms the atmosphere and warms the ocean.  Like hot air creates, can hold more water. And therefore. No wonder you're going to have more hurricanes and more ridiculous storms and the quantity of rain that hit Houston. So we have to be very careful about greenhouse gas and methane for that matter. Oh, you're past the point of worrying. Those storms are already there. Yeah. It's the need to move as urgent this U.S. billionaire push to have global warming deniers. Is total insanity as a society and for the world. Yeah. Well, let's leave it there. Ken Rogers, hard Canadian businessman, living the land of gas and oil in Western Canada, can tell us the perception there. Well, of course, an unbiased. An unbiased. Thank you, Ken. Great to have you on the show. Thanks, Jake.


Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industries trading up free 16, Nasdaq's down 69, S&P's up about 10. Gold. Gold contract trading up $13.60 at $19.99 80 an ounce. We have Silver down 13 cents, $24, 1 penny an ounce, LightSweet Crew caught the bid up $4.80, $80.46 a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10-year note, up 16 ticks trading $1.1514, the 30 year up $24 at $131.29, and $Kingdala. $Kingdala's down $408 ticks, trading at $102.100, the Euro is at $108, the Yen's at $132, and the British Pounds at $124 to $1.00 USD. We can open and take a look at the S&P folks, and what you have out here, you know Friday, last Friday, volume came in this S&P, you can see the, you know, the spy here, that accelerated $112 million, that's what was taking out that swing point of $72, so bottom line, that high up here is game, which is the, right now we're at $410, the $418.31 game inside the S&P. We go into the MDX 100, we take a look at the MDX, three queues out here right now are trading, it's an inside day in the three queues. Now you get light volume, there's no buyers out here today, but the bottom line and the MQ's also broke top side, and did say I have some volume behind the move. We take a look at this, put this on a weekly, yeah, on a weekly it's like, okay, you're not in the higher range yet, the higher range ends up being, well, you're just coming into it. $318.26 is the higher range, and we're at $319.14, but you're going to get inside it, and it's not inside it yet. So we'll see where this baby, meaning the MQ, wants to go. Gold contract, that's in a high-end consolidation, and it continues to be a high-end consolidation. What we have with the gold contract, good volume out here today, good price movement out here today, you get $177,000 contracts, you're up $13.5 dollars, and we go over to King Gala, and King Gala hasn't been able to hold price. King Gala got into the 103s out here today, you're at 102, 107 right now, and we'll see if this King Gala, it's been, King Gala's been testing its strength going all the way back from the February 3rd level. Stay right there folks, come right back.


news update. I wanted Basel Chapman here on the 21st day of December. This is the 10 a.m. market update, Tiger Financial News Network market update. That's about it. This is very nice to say. The Dow is up 316 at 35,251. You got that sense all evening. The futures every time they pull back they quickly ran a little higher and you got that feeling that people were just itching to get back into the market. The big question, and I'll talk about that in my show coming up, the Tiger Financials Hour, is this a quick flurry into the formerly beaten down leaders that were beaten down and are they going to give up the ghost by the end of the day? I'll talk about that a little later on, which are looking at some pullback from the entry day high so far today. Look, the S&P ran up to 46,14. It's now 45,96, so it's given back. What is that, 20 points? We're watching this very closely. Look at the trading at 45,97. QQQ, same thing. Big move up to the gap up and the high of the day is 38,493.  It's up $1.53. Looking at the IWM, the Russell 2000, is that going to find strength? Well, it is finding strength. It's leading, in fact, up 1.72% at 3, up 363, to 15.79. It got beaten down. It got beaten down all the way to the 209 area from 244 back in early November. So this deserves a little bit of a bounce. We're looking at gold. Gold is given back gains. It's now down one. At 17.93, I'd say to subscribers to my opening call this morning, that I see that gold is still in a trading band, but that Bitcoin could have a bit more of a flow to the upside. And there it is, up 16.95 at 48,755. Next thing we're looking at here is crude oil. And crude oil is trading up $1.83 at 17.45. So this, I believe, you can call it countertrend bounce. TLT is telling us that yields are going higher. It's down $1.55 at 148.15. Remember what we were talking about just yesterday? Got to watch this really closely. So countertrend bounce. When does it run out? I think it's only a couple of days. And then comes the big test. Does it come down to re-test, or does it continue higher? I think we're going to do some re-testing. I'll be back in a moment. Buzzer trapping. Tiger technicians are coming up. Hope we could stay in.

Make sure you check that out. I have a listen. We just put out a new episode today. Well today is when I'm recording this. I don't know when you'll see this but thank you. Thank you. Oh the date today is Monday December 7th it's 9.15 a.m. So this is before the Cowboys game. Will you see it before the Cowboys game? Hey, who knows whoever does but I appreciate y'all without wasting any more time. Let's get into these questions. This question came from Ebony. She said that ain't gravy and hope all is well with you. Enjoy watching videos. Appreciate it. Thank you. I got a few questions for you. Do you think Trace will start on the Cowboys game if Lamar isn't clear to play? Well, yeah, I think he will. If Lamar isn't clear to play it's looking like he is. Adam Schefter reported yesterday that Lamar Jackson is expected to start versus Cowboys but who knows maybe Harbaugh could have put something out there that's like oh yeah Lamar's expected to start but he's not going to just so he can try to play some mind games with these Cowboys. Because we need to play all the mind games we possibly can to try to get a win because maybe the mind games will finally help us get on a win column again because it feels like it's been so long. Feels like it's been so long since the Ravens won a game. But anyway, no, I expect Lamar to start. But yeah, if Lamar can't go, then it'll be Trace time. And she said if the Ravens make the playoffs, do you see them being the seventh seed or higher? Right now, the way that this Ravens team is the way that the way that the rest of the season is set up. They will get some help. It's like they have no choice but to get some help because a lot of the teams that they need help from play each other. So that'll help. Steelers are going to get to Division. That's, we ain't got to worry about that. So that's the first two four seeds. And then I know whether, yeah, I can see them as like maybe like a six, seven seed, one of those two. So definitely one of the bottom seeds.  So from jump, like, if you wanted a bottom seeds, that's when you get matched up with the opponent that had a better record. So I mean, either way, as long as Ravens get in, I don't care who they matched up with, they just going to have to bring it. And if they don't bring it, then they're going to be sent home for the third straight year. So hopefully that doesn't happen. Not doesn't happen making a playoff, but doesn't happen with them getting sent home. Um, let's see, she said, lastly, do you see the Ravens winning the rest of their games or losing at least one of them? The fan in me feels like they could win out. The analyst in me or the realist in me feels like they could win out. But at the same time, Ravens, so many times this year, they've had trouble closing. They've had trouble finishing games, whether it's against good opponents, whether it's against worse opponents, they've had trouble closing. Now you're going against the Cowboys. They've been struggling this year, but I still feel like it's going to be a close game. Usually now Ravens, usually they usually take care of business and they, and they don't fall for the trap games. But I don't even feel like this is a trap game because Ravens have been underachieving this season. Browns next week, that's definitely not a trap game. If anything, it would be more trap game for the Browns than the Ravens. All these boys took us for a ride this season, man. But they played a Browns. They played a Giants who I think are in the lead in their division now. And then they play. They play the Bengals one more time, who are Joe Burrow, this I expect them to take care of business in that one. Oh, and they play the Jaguars who are trying to. They were hoping the Jets would get a first win so that they can get the number one pick. But it looks like they're probably going to get the number two pick and they're going to want to secure their spot. So I think the Bengals and of course, no game is a Gimmie, but I think the Bengals in the Jaguars games, those are the Gimmie games. But against the Browns, no, not a Gimmie against the Cowboys. No, not a Gimmie. And against who did I miss? Oh, against the Giants because Giants fighting right there. Just beat the Seahawks. So Giants got all the life in the world. They got all the hype in the world and they feeling themselves. So, yeah, it's it's going to be a tough stretch. But do I think they can win out? Yes, do I think they will win out? Not really. I don't think they will. I hope they will. And I know that they can. But something something just tells me like these ravens, man.  Next question came from BB. He said, what's up in Graven? Here's my question from subscriber. With all the hype built around this ravens team since the beginning of the season, I feel that the ravens in the past offseason made a terrible mistake. I definitely understand that as the ravens moved on from Hayden Hurst, there was a huge hole left that was never addressed. Why didn't the ravens secure another tight end and draft a left tackle? Lamar proved he can throw the ball if he has time. Why did they take away the three tight end scheme? When will the ravens invest in Lamar in this offense? Why did the ravens trade their first round pick for an unknown draft when Hayden was part of this dominance? I'm glad we got JK. Will the ravens wake up before next season and realize Lamar wasn't trying to cause any division by calling out Greg Roman. He was simply telling the truth about the offensive scheme and why he is struggling this season. When will this organization take the next step and become better than the 2019 season? Thanks in Graven. OK, well, that is definitely a loaded question because it's loaded full of questions. So he said he feels like the ravens made a terrible mistake by moving on from Hayden Hurst. Well, I don't necessarily think it was a terrible mistake. I like I said before he even got traded. I wish they would have kept him. I would hope that he would stay, but I could understand why they made a mutual parting of ways. He wanted more of an opportunity and the ravens wanted to give him more of an opportunity. You know, they love some draft picks. They couldn't turn down no draft picks. They were like, OK, let's get them draft picks. But I really liked Hayden Hurst. And I think he could have really been the best titan on his team because he had the best mix of everything. He had the best hands on the team. He has a nice speed. He was a decent blocker, too. And then Mark Andrews has, of course, improved on his blocking. But Hayden Hurst was he was the do it all guy like Nick Boyle, great blocker, not really fast. He got some good hands, though. Mark Andrews wasn't a great blocker. Got some nice speed, hands a little shaky. But Hayden Hurst, he was a good combination. He took all of their good things and put them all into one. So with Hayden Hurst, that did definitely create a void because ravens came out in a lot of three titan sets a lot. I think they led the league in those. But when you take that away and you never address it, like I thought that's why I was for sure. When they were doing roster cut downs and y'all remember the videos, I said for sure, like one of these titans is going to make it. Whether it's Charles Scalf, whether it's the guy Jarell Adams, whether it's Eli Wolf, whoever it's going to be. One of these titans is going to make it for sure. Nope. They went with two titans. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. But some of y'all suggested, I know my guy Sean Ivy did, my guy Josh Hoffman did. They were like, maybe they really trying to force them all to pass that ball around to his receivers. And could that have been it? Hey, maybe. But it proved to be a problem because you see what happened when Nick Boyle went out. Boom. World came crashing down. Even though the Ravens offense was already been crashing down all season long with or without Boyle. But they just, they went sort of backwards while maybe trying to go forwards. But I don't know what the reason that they never got a tight end was. I don't know if anybody ever asked it. I don't know if it has ever been addressed by the Ravens team or coaching staff or anything like that. Now he said, why didn't the Ravens secure? He did, we talked about the tight end, but he also asked, why didn't they draft the left tackle? They have Ronnie Stanley. Like they have Ronnie Stanley. They have Ronnie Stanley and they just, they had signed them to an extension. I don't understand what you mean because Ronnie Stanley was on the left side. Orlando Brown Jr. was on the right side. Orlando Brown Jr., he's been doing very good on the left side. He's been very quiet. That means that's a good thing. But they, I mean, they could have drafted the left tackle later on, like as a backup. But I don't, I don't understand that part. But he said, when will the Ravens invest in Lamar in this offense? No clue, no, because that's not really Raven style to invest in the offense. And it's sad to say, and of course, we talked about this a lot that we look at all these other teams around the league and we just wonder like, man, like, when are Ravens gonna do something like that for their quarterback? Because we saw with Joe Flacco and we see it with them. I mean, we've seen it for their, really their entirety. They built the team based off of defense. And again, defense is always the one that gets all the money. They're the one that always making moves on defense and whatnot.  Mark Ingham was signed to a three year, $15 million deal. And I'm not saying that's a bad deal and it has proved to be good, especially last year, but they go cheap. Any receivers that they get, they go, there's Brian. Hey, hey, Kyler, he got the Andre Hopkins, Josh Allen got Stefan Diggs and all these young quarterbacks got all these other guys. You know what, Lamar? Here you go. Here's there's Brian and there's Brian hasn't been bad, but they don't put premier talent around their quarterback. The Ravens, they've been on that. So hopefully one day they'll get off of it. So to answer that question, I don't know when they'll invest in the offense. I have no clue, no clue. And he said, will the Ravens wake up? Will the Ravens wake up before next season and realize Lamar wasn't trying to cause any division by calling out Greg Roman? Maybe he was, but now you're just being honest. You're just being honest. He got asked the question and he answered. That's it. And he said he was simply telling the truth about the offensive scheme and why he is struggling this season. So when would his organization take the next step and become better than the 2019 season? Better hope they go on a main playoff run. Next question came from Vinny in the topic. The subject of the email said, I believe in these Ravens. He said, I engraving hope you're doing well. It's been one rollercoaster ride of a season for the Ravens. They're currently sitting at six and five and overcoming the not team keep it clean as I send you this email. I really believe in this team and I think they can make a serious run. I watched the hardball press conference today along with Patrick Queen and Orlando Brown Jr. And they seem very confident, which really made me feel that this team has something special going on here down the stretch. A hardball said this team is only getting tougher dealing with a ton of adversity and knows what they need to do as far as the big picture. The next five games and it all starts with Dallas. I mean, hardball, sometimes he just be blowing smoke, man. I mean, we all know what the Ravens need to do. We all have known what the Ravens have needed to do but it's just been a matter of them not doing it. But now they in a situation that they put themselves in they ain't got nobody to blame but themselves but hopefully they can get themselves out of it. And well, they can't actually get themselves out of it because they still need help. Anyway, he said, I feel like after the Steelers game with all odds against us, the fact that we showed heart, mental toughness and grit with all backups in there and almost beat the an undefeated Pittsburgh team and really sparked the Ravens for the next five games. I believe with the guys coming back we'll take care of business against Dallas and the Browns which will set us up nicely for the last three games against the Jags, Giants and Bengals. I believe if they can accomplish this they will be a dangerous under the radar team come playoff time that no one will want to face. Coming back from a six and five record the biggest non-team keeping clean outbreak in sports and a team that is now underappreciated after they were originally expected to be one of the top three teams in football heading into the season. Well, the story that will be if they can come back from this I still strongly believe in the team and think they can make a serious run and can do some damage in the playoffs. They have great team chemistry and the love for one another, which goes a long way. What are your thoughts and thanks for being patient and reading this long email. Oh, no problem, man. They again, like I always say, man all you gotta do is get in. That's the biggest thing is getting in with the playoffs and then from there anything can happen. But this team, the chemistry is off, I think. I don't think they have this great team chemistry right now. I think the chemistry is definitely off. It's definitely way off. And just, and again, the identity is off too. They don't know only on offense. They don't know who they are. They don't know what they want to be. They don't know what they want to do. So they have to and we've been talking about this for forever for the entire season. We've been having this same conversation, man. They gotta figure out who they're gonna be. What they gonna do? Because they're not a jack of all trades. Well, oh, we do this, well, we do that, well, we do that, well, we do that, good, we do this, good. No, they, it's just like they just been getting by. And they'll get a good little nice play here and there. Nice drive here and there. But they just lack consistency. Big time on offense, man. They lack consistency. And it's just been one thing after another all season long. So it's hard to think that they're gonna all of a sudden correct that with the last five games left. But we hope they will, but it's really hard to see that. But again, you just never know till you get there, man. You never know what could happen till you get into the playoffs. And then from there, everybody's zero on zero. Everybody goes, the slate is clean. It don't matter what, yo, the top ranked this and bottom ranked that and top, no, all that stuff doesn't matter in playoffs because you got one game to prove yourself and be better than that opposing team for one game. And if you're not, then you getting sent home. Ravens know that feeling for the past two years. But in order to get to where they can get over that feeling, because we talked about this and everybody talked about this going into this season about the Ravens. That these guys, they, nobody's gonna care what they do in the regular season. Nobody's worried about that. Nobody, nobody cares what these Ravens are gonna do in the regular season. Why? Because they've done what they need to do in the regular season the past couple of years. But then it's the playoffs, that's what matters. That's what everybody's waiting to see from the Ravens. But hopefully they won't be waiting to see it for another year because hopefully they can get in there this year and make some stuff happen. But we'll see how it works out. Next question came from my boy Josh Hoffman. And he said, the bell tolls for John Harbaugh. Oh boy, here we go. He said, engraving and team keeping clean. Hope everybody's doing well and staying positive. I'm changing from just hating on Harbaugh and criticizing and making fun of him to actually wanting him gone ASAP. It's been a long time disliking him and questioning him, but still respecting him enough that I wouldn't join the chorus of calling for his head. No more. We have so many different types of failures on this team that repeat over and over that the buck has to stop with the guy at the top. Now look, fellow Harbaugh doubters. We can't just cancel his success and give it to Ray Lewis, but we can ask if the success gives us reason for optimism going forward or not. Did he maybe do a brilliant job harnessing the immense potential of Brian Billick's team? Bernard Pollard says not. I'll say yes, but I'll also say I don't believe Harbaugh could have built that team. Did Harbaugh's do well to benefit from Greg Roman in his typical successful first year coaching dual threat quarterbacks with the best dual threat QB ever? Did he get his job saved when Flacco got hurt? What does his resume look like if we never had Gary Kubiak? And again, who my God, Nitro to continue to point out that Gary Kubiak wasn't even a Harbaugh hire. Because all the Harbaugh hires are offensive coordinator have all been a big yikes. Anyway, he said, do we fire Greg Roman and pray the next family friend in line will by accident be the best for the job? I forget who in the live stream asked how many offensive coordinators we will blame under John Harbaugh. Yes, somebody did ask that and it was such a good question. I was like, ooh, ooh. Anyway, he said, I'm worried we're going to ruin Lamar Jackson. I was just talking about this on the latest episode of the team keeping clean podcast that y'all can feel free to check out. But I talked about a lot of what if scenarios. And one of those what if scenarios was what if Lamar Jackson got drafted by another team? What if he went somewhere else? I talked about teams like the Browns, if he would have went to the Jets or something like that. But then I also talk about if he would have went to a team like the Chiefs. Of course, if they didn't have Patrick Mahon. But what if he would have went to a team like the Chiefs? I guarantee you, he would be set up for success way more than he is with the Ravens. Way more because those dudes, now they're not built like the Ravens. They obviously built their team a lot different. They don't invest heavy in defense like that. They do here and there, but their investments really come on the offense. They really now, of course, they got the honey badger. They signed him to a deal. They just re-signed Chris Jones to a deal. So they make their plays for some defensive playmakers here and there. But their biggest investments come on offense. And they would have set this dude up for success for real. He would have been under Andy Reed, who's an offensive mastermind. He did his thing over in Philly and now been doing this thing with the Chiefs too, even with Alec Smith. But he would have had Andy Reed and Eric being to me. Oh my goodness. Lamar would have just been, whoo, I think he would have been light years ahead of where he is right now with the Ravens. Light years. Because Ravens just, they don't invest in it all anyway. I could go on forever about that one. As y'all know, anyway, he said, and we know what hardball plays favorites. Exercises nepotism. And it has a doghouse and makes or allows to be made, and has a doghouse and makes or allows to be made a lot of mistakes that cost us each year. And I don't think it's acceptable from a 13th year head coach. Is that still cool when your team plays beneath this potential for five to eight years? The only reason is it's not six to eight is because 2015 is an injury mulligan. Not to mention last year's success gets another huge asterisk because it was at least bare minimum. 50% coaching that destroyed the postseason. That should be 0% if our head coach belongs where he is. Let alone if he's among the best in the business. And even with that, with the playoffs because I just, it was just, that was the past two playoff losses have been some of the most frustrating playoff losses. The reason being is because coaching has been absolutely horrible in them and the lack of adjustments. They either made way too little adjustments or they made way too many adjustments. And it's like they just had terrible balance in both games. Of course, 2018 season against the Chargers, of course they had just played them a couple weeks prior and it's hard to beat the same team a couple weeks apart from each other. But hey, you still gotta do what you gotta do. But they tried to run the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over.  And it worked.  And then they, everybody looking around confused like whoa, why is our office not doing anything? What's going on? But then they finally spread it out and started working. So for that, they stuck to what got them there but they didn't have any playing Bs. And they didn't go to playing B till it was too late. But then the next year in the playoffs, they have something that worked and broke records but they go straight to playing C in the playoffs and just abandon everything that got them there. And yes, the players, they played a part in the whole thing too but the first and foremost coaching, they take the majority of the responsibility for those two playoff games. Because, and I say this for the regular season two and I would love for it to get to that point.  Oh, the first Steelers game. The first Steelers game, that was a game where coaching, they did their thing. No problem with coaching in that one. I do wish the Ravens corners would press up against Steelers, it seems a bit more. But beyond that, coaching did a great job in that game. That was strictly player execution. But I would love for it and I know no coach is perfect but I would love for it to be a situation where the Ravens, where they're playing, where there's regular season, where there's playoffs. I would love for it to be a situation where it's 100% on the players and 100% on execution from the players. I would love it to be a situation where we can't blame coaching whatsoever. I would love to see that. I would love it. But we haven't seen that in forever. We haven't seen that in forever consistently. We see it every now and then in a game, but consistently. And we continue to have these questions about coaching. We continue to have these complaints about coaching. We continue to have just these problems when it comes to coaching. And that's been one thing that's been more consistent. Then coaching, not being to blame for a lot of stuff. Now again, coaching is not to blame for everything but that's where everything starts. That's where the most important stuff starts.  Now we know the Ravens will not be hasty with this. What it going to take to get you on the side of the fence? They'll get you on this side of the fence. Thank you as always, Josh Hoffman. Shout out to Josh, man. I know with Harbaugh. Cause he, Harbaugh has been something. He's again, he's not a bad coach. He's not a bad coach. And of course us as Ravens fans, like people who are on the outside looking in, whenever they hear talk about some Ravens fans wanting to fire John Harbaugh, they're like, what are you talking about? He's a great coach. Look at his record, he got a Superbowl. He got all those playoff wins. He got a bunch of regular season went, why would you guys want to get rid of John Harbaugh?  And there's some fans on the inside looking in and they say the same thing. But it's just one of those things where I, for them and me and my God, Josh, have had a lot of conversations about this. It would literally take everything for them to get rid of John Harbaugh. It would take every, like everything because he is just so safe. He is so safe. A lot of other people would get to blame way before Harbaugh, way before Harbaugh. And it almost feels like this team has just been, it feels like, it feels like with Harbaugh, again, not a bad coach, but it feels like he can only get them so far. And I do love how my God, Josh, said that that team that he inherited, it wouldn't be a team that he would create. It wouldn't be a team that he would build with Ray Lewis and Erie Abinah Pahler, like Kerry Williams, what? Like those four alphas are alone. Like that's, Harbaugh, that's way too much alpha for me, man. That's way too much. That's way too much alpha for me, man. That's way too much. I done hit my alpha overload. I don't want no more. So it's like, and that's exactly what we've been missing. That's exactly what the Ravens have been missing, just that dog mentality.  Oh, no, we ain't about to give up. They don't have that mentality right now. Ray Lewis, of course, brought the Erie. Of course, brought that, man. But no, Apollo, like those guys, man, if you look back at that team, just that, not even just a Super Bowl team, but just even teams before that too, like the Ravens were, they were a real deal, man. And they had a lot more respect and they had a lot more intensity. They missing that right now. They missing a lot of that right now, but it feels like Harbaugh doesn't even want too much of that.  He brought on Steve Smith's senior, man. He got no problem with Alphas. What are you guys talking about? He, I don't think he has a problem with Alphas period, but I think he has a problem with too much of them. I think he has a limit, where he's like, okay, now, I don't got you one. Now, maybe we'll get one on defense too, but, man.  He outspoken, he'll talk that talk and he will get up in somebody's face. But in that, just that dog though, man. On defense, we really got that like that. We got some good players on defense now, but that's just that dog. On offense, nah. There's Bryan now, but other than that, his team just lacking there. And of course, a lot of Raven's problems continue to be on offense, but again, the hardball continues, he put his boys up. We always talk about hood, hardball. Hashtag hood, hardball, I ain't forget about it. But he always putting his boys on, which is nice. But again, this is business. This is business.  But at the same time, will the job get done from your boys? And for the most part, it's been a big no from all his offensive coordinators. And somebody, I think, I forgot who it was. I think it was a Lunch Break Hot Take podcast, man. I think they made a point in the group chat we were talking in, they were saying, what offensive coordinators from the Ravens have gone on to continue to coach? And what offensive coordinators that got fired from the Ravens have gone on to continue to coach in the NFL? The ones that got fired. And it was new, buddy, under hardball. The ones that got fired. That's it. Ravens is their last stop. It's their last stop. And it's a sad story, but it's the truth, man. So, and it's like with Greg Roman, I forget about this one, but I do not remember if he was a hardball hire or if he was like a EDC or Aussie hire, I forgot. But it's like with the only other time it wasn't a hardball hire with, what's the name? Kubiak offense. Oh man, they just, they had so much success. Other than that, offense just continues to be a problem. So, as far as what would it take for me to get on the fire hardball train? I mean, if they did, I would be shocked, but I just, I don't even know, man. I don't even know where I am at with hardball at this point. I am, because I just, somebody made a good point.  And even if they don't make the playoffs, he probably ain't going nowhere. But you know, if they make the playoffs, he definitely ain't going nowhere. Greg Roman could, I think he probably will. But it's like, if the Ravens have success, it would be another playoff season. And the front office be like, hey, yeah, see, hardball made a playoffs again. Look at that. But it just depends on what you do there. And I mean, he's been with the team, yeah, what 12, 13 years. And the Ravens, they are not this turnover, frenzy team, but almost feel like they're just, they're very comfortable with hardball. He's in, they're in their comfort zone with hardball. And hardball's in his comfort zone too. So if everybody's just in their comfort zone, it's almost like, it's almost like they don't mind, not that they don't mind. It's like, not that they love being mediocre because they're not a mediocre team, but they are an underachieving team. They have been that, because they've had Super Bowl rosters. They have certainly had Super Bowl rosters, but they've underachieved. And just because you got a Super Bowl roster, doesn't mean you're going to win a Super Bowl every single year, unless you were the Patriots from all the years. But just because you got a Super Bowl roster, doesn't mean you're going to win every single year. That's fine. But the way that these Ravens have been going out, especially recently, it's no excuse, especially last year. Like last, the first year, no excuse then either because they didn't make any adjustments. They made no adjustments whatsoever. And that's been a problem with this team, has been no adjustments on offense. Wink, wink, I ain't blaming you for nothing. Nothing got no problem with wink whatsoever. But on offense, that side of the ball, and even with hardball, a lot of decision, and just a lot of his, the mannerisms and whatnot, and just a lot of the whininess and just, a lot of what hardball does, it gets displayed out there on the field by the players too. And again, I don't mean to keep bringing this up, but it just bothered me so much that game, the last game against the Steelers. Just the whining, the whininess. But with hardball, it just feels like, and we'll see what happens this year, but the Ravens have, they have already underachieved this year. But it just, it feels like they just, they just need something, man. They need something, they need some type of change, man. And I feel like with an offensive coordinator, if it's a hardball higher, then I feel like that's only gonna do so much. It's only gonna do so much. I'm not saying necessarily they should fire hardball, but if they did, like I will, again, I will be super shocked. I'll be crazy shocked. And that's just something I just, I don't see them doing at like at all. But it would just take everything would, everything would, I feel like everything would have to like collapse for like two years straight, in order for them to get rid of hardball. At least two years straight, probably more, but at least two years. I feel like like nothing could go right. And then they would think about it. They wouldn't even do it. They probably think about it. But I don't think hardball, them getting rid of hardball is anywhere on, is on their mind at all. Like whatsoever. But see how the rest of the season goes. And oh, that's a big yikes, I gotta get out of here.

Thank you, man. We got to get this money in the air to get some stuff out there. This is kind of lightning in my doorway. No doorbell. Not on the door. We got a very beautiful neighborhood.

Jeez. This is so hot. I'm sorry. No problem. Excuse me. I'm gonna have two doorbell orders. One for Cruz E. And Jennifer S. Jennifer S. They use it with Cruz E. And Jennifer S. You got a order for Cruz E. And Jennifer S. Yes. Yeah. That's your third order. What about Cruz? Yeah. You wanna see Cruz E. We'll order at a time. But we don't see an order. There is no Cruz yet. Not on either screen. Okay. Thank you God. You guys have a good one. Hey. Don't work too hard. Work smart. As you guys saw that joint was extremely packed. I'm talking about packed to the brim. So what happened was we got one order for Jennifer S. But Cruz E. Decided that she would like to cancel her order because it's going to take too long. So I just found out that the Panera Braille has a new system that they just now starting to use. And in their new system, they're only allowed to see four orders at a time. And Cruz E. Order was not within those four orders. They actually have two computers. So it would have been within the eight orders. So it would have been eight orders that she at least have to wait. And then it could be after that. So it was terrible. So she's going to cancel. And once she's canceled, we're going to make sure we give Door Dad a call so we can get half of that pay. Let's get back to this money. Flowers. I didn't get this before. So this is going to be the first time you guys see this. This is the first time I did it. I'm here to start to tell me that it's going to be in the middle of the store over here by Starbucks. Let's get busy, baby. Somebody get some flowers, some lilies. So let's see what's going on. This one's packed, too. Everybody's off for Christmas. So this one's been extra. Every bear has been packed. It's beautiful. That's why I don't want to be by the mall but we're here anyway. So do I need to talk to somebody? Comment below and let me know what you need to do. Let me know what to do. Hello. Hi. I'm here to pick up a DoorDash order for Andrea Dee. It's some flowers but I don't know if I'm supposed to talk to somebody. Yeah, she should have it back there. Over here? Okay. Right over here. The drive up and go. It's for flowers. Right. I wrap it up and I put it over there. So I just park in that space and they'll bring it out or do I go to the dug? No, I just hold there and ask them for it. At the service desk? No, at the drive up and go. Do you see that big red sign on the wall over there? Oh, okay. Thank you very much, man. Okay, thank you. I didn't know what I was talking about. I thought I was supposed to go to the flower spot. It doesn't make sense for me not to go to the flower spot. I don't know why I didn't put it up there. But hey, I'm just D.D.K. That's it. That's it. Pick up the phone. Drive up and go. Oh, this is the dug one. Yeah, he's here to drive up and go. That's the dug one. Hello. Hello. I have a door dash pickup for Andrea D. Get some flowers. See, it doesn't say dug one. I don't know. They didn't even fix that. It doesn't say dug one at all for Andrea D. Thank you very much. So you have a good one. This thing, baby. It says first floor. Where's the thing? I don't know. I don't know about this. I'm going to talk to you. I don't know where to go. It just says Charleston Parkway first floor. That's it. Hello. I have a door dash for Jennifer S. Okay, sounds good. There you go. Thank you. You have a great one. Hello. Hello, Andrea. This is Jerome with Door Dash. I'm here at Abbott, but I have no clue where to go. It says... If you go to the worker's entrance, you shall be able to... There's two sides. This is exit and entrance. If you go to the worker's entrance and walk up those stairs, it will purity. So... Okay, so the worker's entrance, is it right after the speed bumps or do you turn right and go down some? So after the speed bumps, you take a right, go all the way down, and the worker's entrance is by a walkway. It's by the docks. Is it by the docks, kind of? It's by the docks, yeah. Okay. Okay, so I'm going to leave with security, right? Yeah. Okay, all right, thank you. All right, for sure. Thank you. All right, bye-bye. Let's go. So question for you. Where are you off security at? Oh, the security right here? Yep. How about we just go in here? Yep. Excuse me, are you security? Security? I'm supposed to leave this with you for Andrea D. They told me to bring it here. All right, thank you. Have a good one. Thank you. Update, we talked to Cruz E. again, and she said that she does want us to pick the order up. We're going to be extremely late. I don't know how we're going to... I don't know what your dad's going to do, but we're going to go back and pick the order up and drop it off tour. Let's go get this money, baby. Let's pick up this Cruz E. order. Let's see if it's done. It's going to steal fast. Sheesh. It's not done, honey. Let's go. Cruz E. code. This is going to disaster. Hello. Have a door dash for Cruz E. Oh, yes. That's my business partner on the phone who called you. That is a disaster, after some drive's sake. You guys have a good one. So, I just want to have a talk with you guys. I know that we have fun on the channel. I know we do a lot of things that, you know, I try to be funny and joking all in play. Not really play, but, you know, have a good time. But I want to talk to you guys about some serious stuff right now. Right? So, we just had to deliver when we delivered the flowers. After we delivered the flowers, it was an extremely long line because everybody was getting off work. So, we're just in the line of waiting. I'm just sitting there just thinking like, this used to be me. Like, I used to be in this line even out of a job or coming in a job either or. And I just want to talk to you guys about something. So, for those of you out there who are thinking about door dashing and kind of nervous about taking a leap of faith, I just, I recommend you just do it. I want to challenge you to do it. I just, if you feel like that you hate your job and you don't want to do it anymore, and these are for the people who have the entrepreneur's spirit and they aren't afraid to put the work in. I'm not talking about people who don't want to be putting the work in. You know, if you want to stay at your job, that's fine. But for those of you who have the entrepreneur's spirit and you are not afraid to put any work in, and you really hate your job and you don't want to work there anymore, and you don't mind driving, I honestly suggest you do door dashing.  I know it sounds crazy. I know what I'm telling you sounds crazy. Believe me, I had to go through these stages too because I used to work a job as well. So, I just want to tell you guys that if you really don't want to work there, just take a leap of faith. And it's all going to work itself out. And if you're making, you know, but man, I'm making $20, $22, $23, $24, $25 an hour. I once was making that much too. I was making, before I quit my job, I was making $22.50. And without working overtime or anything, I'd probably bring home $1,200 or something or somewhere around there. You can definitely make that door and door dash. You can do it. I'm challenging you to do this. Especially if every two weeks, you can make, that's easy, that's easy. That's easy. Just make a hundred a day. I'm challenging you to do that. Just make a hundred a day.  So when you get up for work at 4, 35 o'clock, just do a dinner shift and see how you like it and see what happens. But I really want to challenge you guys to do that because I was thinking like, why did I ever work a job? I really was thinking this. I was like, seriously, I'm talking about business partner like, why did I work a job? I don't really know why I was doing it. It was never for me. I never want to work for anybody. But we all get scared and you're going to have to take the leap of faith. I know it's painful. I know it's called growing pain. I know it's going to be hard, but you can do it. This coming from DDK, you can do it. You're going to have to figure out some ways to do it. You have to be an entrepreneur about it. And if you say you're an entrepreneur, you'll have to make things happen. I just want to talk to you guys about that. We're about to start... We're about to end the dash right now. It's 133 and we are at... It was like 111. 11084. We made 110... Okay, just go back to what I was just talking about. We made 11084. We started at 930. It is now 133. We made 11084. You can do this too. All you got to do is take the leap of faith and just do it. And remember I told you to just do it. And just like that, we are back in this dinner shift. It is 434 right now. And we're going to stop dancing at 730. So I need you guys to comment below and let me know. How much are you going to make? How much are you going to make by 730? I hope you guys are enjoying the video. Again, if you aren't subscribed, make sure you subscribe. And if you aren't subscribed, give me a thumbs up. One more thing. I'm saying this every video. Because I know you're doing it. I'll be seeing you. I'll be seeing you. Don't skip those ads. Let's get back to the money. Jewel Osco 2 orders 9 items 9.1 miles for 20. 69. Let's go. Excuse me.

Yeah. Sheesh. Oh, that's critical. It's okay if it's in the same card? Yeah. So this is... You think it's going to fit? I will.  Let me see. So this is Gale over here.

We go to McDonald's. We pick up the McDonald's order. We drop the McDonald's order off. Then we go to dollar general. Everything was going fine until I get to the Gatorade. And the Gatorade, they didn't have the right Gatorade they wanted. So I had to reach out to them. I called them no answer. I texted them no answer. I called them again. They finally answered.  So we dropped that off, right? In the video I said, this is our last delivery. And then this happened. Next thing you know, we dropped back.

No one is there to tell me if that's to do with this order or not. So it's the bag that's sitting right here. So I don't know. So boom, I got to wait, wait, wait.   And now we are in 206.13.

Chlorohydrate is an effective anesthetic agent for rodents, providing deep anesthesia and analgesia without causing significant changes in heart and breathing rates. This makes it suitable for surgical procedures in rodents. This article was authored by Rachel Ward Flanagan and Clayton T. Dixon.
