Good afternoon, everyone. There's a few things at the top here, and then we'll get right to your questions. As you know, in response to continuing attacks against US forces to include the attack in northeastern Jordan on January 28, which killed three US service members, US military forces conducted strikes February 2 on seven facilities in Iraq and Syria, which included more than 85 targets that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated militias have used to attack US forces. The facilities struck included command and control operation centers, intelligence centers, rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicle storage and logistics and munitions supply chain facilities. In Iraq, the targets were located in the vicinity of al-Qaim and al-Qaishat. In Syria, they were in the vicinity of al-Bam, al-Azir, and al-Maidin. Although we continue to evaluate, we currently assess that we had good effects and that the strikes destroyed or functionally damaged more than 80 targets at the seven facilities. The number of casualties is still being assessed. As Secretary Austin highlighted in his statement, this is the start of our response, and there will be additional actions taken to hold the IRGC and affiliated militias accountable for their attacks on US and coalition forces. We do not see conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else, but attacks on American forces will not be tolerated and we will continue to take all necessary actions to defend the United States, our forces, and our interests. Separate and distinct from the US strikes in Iraq and Syria are the multinational actions we took on Saturday as part of ongoing international efforts to respond to increased Iranian-backed Houthi destabilizing and illegal activities in the region. On February 3rd, the militaries of the United States and the United Kingdom with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, and Netherlands and New Zealand conducted additional strikes against military targets and Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. These strikes were intended to further disrupt and degrade Houthi capabilities to conduct their attacks against US and international vessels, lawfully transiting the Red Sea. Coalition forces targeted 13 locations, striking 36 Houthi targets, associated with the Houthis' deeply buried weapons storage facilities, missile systems and launchers, air defense systems and radars, all capabilities Houthi militia have used to attack international merchant and naval vessels in the region. As Secretary Austin said, this collective action sends a clear message to the Houthis that they will continue to bear further consequences if they do not end their illegal attacks. The US has also taken unilateral action in self-defense to destroy missile launchers loaded to be fired and unmanned surface vessels prepared for employment by the Houthis, which posed an imminent threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships in the region, as well as intercepting missiles and attack drones fired at ships in the Red Sea. Again, the US does not want escalation and these strikes are directly in response to the actions by the Iranian-backed Houthis. However, we will not hesitate to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world's most critical waterways. Shifting gears, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks presided over the US Northern Command Change of Command ceremony today in Colorado Springs to honor General Glenn Van Herk for his three decades of military service and leadership and to welcome General Greg Geo as the next commander of US Northcom and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD. She was accompanied by Canadian Minister of National Defense, the Honorable Bill Blair, who oversaw the NORAD Change of Command as well as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General C. Q. Brown Jr. and Chief of the Defense Staff of the Canadian Armed Forces, General Wayne Eyre. Together, Northcom and NORAD are central to our strong military and ability to defend the homeland, whether it's joint training, education, humanitarian assistance, disaster response, maritime domain awareness, or cyber defense. The Northcom and NORAD Unified Command enhances our common security and deepens our ties to our closest neighbors. Also, US Space Command will host the Global Sentinel annual two-week capstone event starting today through February 16th at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. Global Sentinel is US Space Command's premier security cooperation effort designed to strengthen and grow international partnerships, improve operational collaboration, and promote responsible behavior in the space domain. Space operators from 25 nations around the world will collaborate during the two weeks with each participating nation embedded in a regional space operation center while maintaining national command and control of their sensors for planning, tasking, and analysis. For questions on the exercise, I'd refer you to US Space Command Public Affairs. And finally, February marks the beginning of Black History Month, which provides a unique opportunity for the department, our service members, and our nation to celebrate the contributions, achievements, and brave service of Black Americans. Our military and civilian workforce is strong, diverse, and always ready to defend our nation, our allies, and our interests against modern threats. This month and throughout the year, we will reflect upon and honor the service and sacrifice of Black Americans who continue to lead, impact, and shape our nation's rich history and future. And that'll be glad to take your questions. We'll go to Associated Press, Lita Baldoa. Thank you, Pat. It's been three days since the strikes on Iraq and Syria. Can you at least give us some general assessment as to whether there were indications that there were enemy combatants at those sites that could have been killed or injured in? I mean, there's gotta be at least some sort of at least initial assessment that says there were people at those places or there weren't. And then just secondarily, I think Jake Sullivan yesterday talked about seen and unseen U.S. military responses to the U.S. responses to these ongoing attacks. Can you say whether or not any of the unseen responses have already occurred? Thanks, Lita. On your first question, I don't wanna get ahead of Central Command's assessment. I think it is fair to conclude that there likely were casualties associated with these strikes, but to ensure that we're providing accurate information, we need to allow time for Central Command to continue to conduct its assessment, and certainly we'll keep you updated as we have new information to provide on that front. As it relates to actions that we're taking, again, I'm not gonna have anything to provide for you beyond what we've put out in our statements. And then any of these attempts to get HVTs in any of those locations that you think may or may not have been successful? Lita, what I would tell you is that what we put out in our press releases is what I have to provide on that front. Jen. There have been three attacks by Iranian proxy forces in Syria since Friday. You say that the assessment is that the strikes on Friday night had good effects. How can you say that when there's three more attacks? What will the response be? And are the troops at those bases, those outposts, allowed to leave the base and to pursue those who are firing rockets and drones at the bases? Yeah, so a couple of things, Jennifer. So first of all, on your last comment, our forces will always maintain the inherent right of self-defense. So if they need to take appropriate actions to defend themselves, they will, and you've seen us do that in the past. In terms of attacks in Iraq and Syria, since we took these strikes on Friday, I'm actually only tracking two incidents. There was one attack on Saturday, February the 3rd, that was two rockets that were fired at MSS Euphrates in Syria with no injuries or damage reported. And then I'm aware of one yesterday, February 4th. This was a one-way attack drone that landed several kilometers from MSS Green Village. Also in Syria, again, no reported U.S. injuries or damage to those facilities. Again, the strikes that we took on Friday were in response, as I highlighted in my topper, to the attacks on U.S. forces at Jordan. And again, we'll take necessary action to defend our forces. But Pat, I believe that there was a third strike that killed six SDF Kurdish fighters. I think the one you're referring to is the latter one that I highlighted. And I am aware of those reports of Syria Democratic forces killed in that strike. But I'd have to refer you to them to talk about it. But it was not on a base where U.S. forces were. It was in the vicinity of Green Village. Let me go to Dan, I'll come to Carl. Could you tell us, in the Red Sea, does Iran continue to supply weapons and intelligence to the Houthi forces in Yemen? So Dan, I don't have any specific intelligence to read out to you here, and nor would I, other than to say that we know that Iran, of course, provides resources to the Houthis to include training, funding, equipment. And so again, you know, and they're not the only ones, right? I mean, they have proxies throughout the Middle East. So again, we recognize that and we're gonna continue to call on Iran to cease supporting these types of actions that we're seeing from proxies. And again, we'll continue to take appropriate action to protect our forces. There is a ship called the Beshad. I'm sure you've heard of it in the Red Sea. And Iran issued a warning saying, saying the U.S. should not target this ship. They claim it's a counter-piracy mission ship, but it's widely believed that is actually a spy ship effectively providing electronic intelligence to the Houthis to help them spot targets. Is that a target that's off limits? So first of all, I'm not aware of the U.S. targeting the Beshad. We are very well aware of the Beshad. As you've heard Navcent talk about before, it's pretty standard for Iran to have a ship in the Red Sea conducting operations as you've highlighted. So that in and of itself is not unusual. And again, so we're there, again, to support freedom of navigation to work with the international community to ensure that vessels can safely transit this waterway. We are not there to seek confrontation or war with Iran. But if our forces are threatened, we will take appropriate action. I'm sorry, let me go to Karla and I'll come to you Tom. A few follow-ups. I am aware of a single rocket attack that happened today in Syria, MSS Euphrates. If you could take that to confirm that to us following this briefing, I would greatly appreciate it. I want to follow up on Jen's question about the attack at Omar oilfield. How close were US forces? Were there any US forces that were with the SDF when they came under attack? Yeah, I think I answered that. So I'm not aware of any US forces that were with the SDF at the time. And this was this one way attack drone landed several kilometers from Green Village. And then is it safe to say that at this point no militant commanders were killed in any of the strikes over the weekend in Iraq and Syria? I know you're still doing an assessment, but kind of follow-up. Yeah, so Karla, again, I don't have any information to corroborate that, but again, we're continuing to assess. Okay, and then finally, with the two self-defense strikes that happened in Yemen where there were anti-ship missiles ready to launch with the three attacks or two attacks, clearing that up in Syria since the attacks in Iraq and Syria that the US conducted. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's a lot. That's five attacks. Is it safe to say that the attack? Any time about Iraq and Syria or Yemen? Is it safe to say that deterrence against Iranian-backed proxies in Yemen and Iraq and Syria is not working at this point because there were two rounds of strikes and both of those proxy sets are still striking American forces or still trying to strike American forces and international shipping lines. Okay, so as it relates to Iraq and Syria, again, I'll just allow me to take a step back here. Again, our forces are there to conduct the defeat ISIS mission. If our forces are attacked and in this case, when our forces were killed, we will take appropriate and necessary action. And as I highlighted in my topper, our responses are not complete. Again, I'm not gonna telegraph or discuss what that may be other than we'll conduct that at a time and place of our choosing. That is our focus. When it comes to the Red Sea, our focus is on working with international allies and partners to ensure that mariners can transit the Red Sea safely. Our focus when it comes to striking Houthi targets is to disrupt and degrade their capabilities. We don't seek an escalation with the Houthis. We're not at war with the Houthis. We're not seeking to go to war with the Houthis. But if they continue the attacks, we will continue to disrupt and degrade their capabilities. So they have capability. It would not be surprising to anyone if they attempt to conduct attacks in the future. But when they do, again, we'll take appropriate action as we have been doing. And when we see an imminent threat to mariners, we will also take appropriate action as in the case of the self-defense strike. So let me go to Tom then I'll come. I need to get to some other questions. You had 13 locations, 36 targets. Five hours later, the Houthis fired a missile and then more followed the following day. So what does that say about the effectiveness of US strikes? And what are the consequences? Because they're already firing after your efforts. Well, the Houthis live in the same physical plane that we do, and they have a finite amount of capability. And the question is, how much of that capability do they want to sacrifice to a doomed cause? Because, again, we'll continue to diminish and disrupt that capability in the sake of working with international allies and partners to ensure that mariners can safely transit. Doomed cause, because they're still striking? Well, I'll leave that to the Houthis to address. But again, they do have a finite amount of capability. And how much do they want to continue to sacrifice that capability for the sake of achieving something which ultimately will fail? Let me go to Missy. Thanks, Pat. I have two process requests and then a question. On the process, is it possible to, you know, Sencombe has been putting out the report, the Houthi attacks when they do their, but we haven't got, unless I'm missing it, we're not getting the same for the Iraq-Syria request regularly, excuse me, attacks by militants and American personnel or facilities in Iraq and Syria. It would be great if we could get the same on that. And also just a request again to see if we can get on the strikes on Yemen and then on Iraq and Syria, just get in the vicinity of locations, because that makes it a lot easier for us to cross-check stuff that we're hearing from the region. And then my question for you is, can you talk a little bit about how the department is seeing the fact that, you know, you're conducting these strikes in Iraq and Syria against these Iranian militants, but those militants are on the payroll of the Iraqi government. How are you guys approaching that fact? They're, you know, officially part of Iraqi security forces. Some of the sites that you're hitting are described as, you know, joint facilities that are used by these, you know, officially, again, part of the Iraqi security forces. How are you all thinking about that? And what's the dialogue with the Iraqi government about that? Obviously, they've made their unhappiness known. Yeah, so, you know, recognizing some of what you have probably seen in regional reporting and social media, what I would tell you is that as we conduct these strikes, we are very focused on Iranian-backed proxy groups and not PMF. Again, that is our focus. It's not on striking ISF or Iraqi security forces or personnel that are part of the legitimate Iraqi security forces. So that includes groups like Qatub-Hazbalah, Han, which we've talked about, and again, folks or militants that are associated with the IRGC. And so as we conduct our planning and our targeting and our operations, it is very deliberate and it is very carefully calculated to strike those capabilities. What was the second part of your question? No, that was just the question. How do you draw that line? Because my understanding is that at least a good part of those groups are part of the PMF, which is officially now part of the Iraqi government. Again, we're striking terrorist groups that are supported by the IRGC. Which I think also are part of the PMF though. Again, I'm gonna... Have high-level positions in the Iraqi government who are designated terrorists. I just... As I understand it, the folks that we're striking are not part of the PMF. So can I just follow up on what he's asking? Because the prime minister of Iraq went to visit wounded militants who were injured in attacks by the U.S. military and they were part of the PMF. Or if that was not the case, that's what the statement from the Iraqi government was. If they were not, he was visiting what you're calling sort of Iranian proxies that are technically... Yeah, I can't speak to the Iraqi minister of defense. Again, we've been very clear in terms of what we're... The groups that we're targeting and the capabilities that we're targeting that are associated with the IRGC and Iranian-backed proxies who are facilitating and conducting attacks on U.S. forces. And that is our focus. Obviously, when it comes to the Iraqis and Iraqi security forces in the Iraqi government, Iraq is a valued partner. Continue to work closely with Iraq on counterterrorism efforts. And I'll just leave it at that. Tom. Thanks, General. Iraq is a valued partner. Why didn't you tell them ahead of time that this strike was coming? Has that fact strained bilateral relationships, in particular in the context of the ongoing talks? And then I had a second, short question. Yeah, thanks, Tom. Again, I won't speak for Iraq. As I highlighted, they are a valued partner. We'll continue to work closely with them, consult with them closely. We have consistently communicated to the Iraqis and others that we reserve the right to defend our personnel from attacks by Iranian-backed militants in Iraq, which is what you saw on Friday. And I'm sorry, your second question. Yeah, just going back to the Friday strikes, I know that we were told that most of the capability came from B-1 bombers from the U.S. Were there any jets launched from the Middle East? No, there were U.S. fighter aircraft that participated from within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. But for both operation security reasons and diplomatic reasons, I'm just not able to go into more detail. Thanks. Yes, sir. Yeah, staying on Iraq, the Iraqi government, talking about that, you targeted the Iraqi security forces. This is what they say. So, and they, some on the U.S. ambassador, in fact that and they were better in protest of that attack. So, also they say that there were attacks on the residential buildings and citizens' property and casualties where civilians included. So, based on your initial assessment, have you targeted any residential buildings and citizens' property and also were any civilians killed in that attacks? So, again, I'm not going to speak for the Iraqi government. I think we've been very clear in terms of what we targeted and these were facilities that have been used or are being used by the IRGC and affiliated militias to attack U.S. forces. And I spelled out very specifically what we targeted. Command and control operation centers, intelligence centers, rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicle storage and logistics and munition supply chain facilities. And so, again, our focus here is on attacking capability that have been used by these groups. Today they were meeting between the Secretary of Defense for International Security first with a delegation from Iraqi Kurdistan. So, have you touched that issue with them and what was the main discussion of that? Yeah, I just don't have any insight to provide on that. Sir. Thank you, General. You just touched on, but you strike us in Iraq like result in anger and condemnation by the Iraqi government. So, the Secretary or any guys from the Department of State talk to Iraqi officials and they're your counterparts in Iraq? Yeah, I can't speak for State Department. I'd refer you to them. Obviously, we have a U.S. Embassy there. I'd refer you to State to talk about that. And again, look, you know, Iraq, as I highlighted, is a valued partner. Our forces have been attacked in Iraq and Syria now, Jordan, and we have been very clear that we will take necessary and appropriate action to respond and we will continue to protect our forces. Let me go to the phone here. J.J. Green, WTOP. Yeah, General, thank you for this. Considering how the Houthis and the Islamic resistance umbrella groups have been responding to the strikes that the U.S. has launched in response not just to what took place in Jordan, but in response to what's been happening in the Red Sea and other places, how are these continued attacks impacting the U.S. plans to launch strikes? We've been hearing that. There isn't a wider conflict. You don't want one, but it looks as though they're trying to push that towards this conflict, push everything towards a conflict, a wider conflict. Yeah, thanks, J.J. Well, I mean, I think you're right in the sense that we do see these groups attempting to exploit tensions in the Middle East to serve various ends. In the case of Iraq and Syria, as I've highlighted before, we know that these groups have a stated goal of compelling the United States to leave the region. Again, U.S. forces in Iraq at the invitation of the government of Iraq and our forces in Syria, both of our, you know, in both locations, we're there to support the lasting defeat of ISIS and that will continue to be the focus. In the Red Sea, we've seen the Houthis continue to conduct strikes against international shipping and naval vessels affecting over 50 nations. And so we have a duty to respond to that and ensure that mariners can safely transit this waterway in the name of freedom of navigation. And so, again, we'll continue to stay focused on that. But it should be very clear that our goal here in both situations is to ensure security and stability in those regions. We're not seeking to escalate, but if our forces are threatened, as I've highlighted, we will respond appropriately. Let me come back into the room, Ashley. I wanted to follow up on the analysis into what happened at Tower 22. Where does that stand? Have you identified a group? How did the drone get in? Yeah, so I'd refer you to Sankom for any updates in terms of their review into the attack as has been highlighted. We know this, according to our intelligence community, the Islamic resistance in Iraq, the umbrella group is responsible. But again, bears the hallmarks of a group like Qataba-Hizballah. But again, that continues to be ruined. And on the counter, sort of offensive in Iraq and Syria right now, could you sort of broadly lay out what are the goals and the measures of success? In terms of our response, yeah. So our goal is to conduct the defeat ISIS mission in a way that's safe and secure for our forces that are in the region. As I've highlighted, if we continue to be attacked, we'll take appropriate action to defend our forces. With the counter attacks coming back, I mean, is that success? Again, we're gonna take necessary actions to protect our forces. It's not unusual. I mean, you've been following this for a very long time. You know, whenever we conduct strikes, it's not unusual to see some type of immediate reaction, whether it's lobbing a mortar into the air just to say they did something. That said, again, it's dangerous and it's provocative and it's destabilizing. So if our forces are threatened, we'll take appropriate action. But to be clear, our goal is not to, okay, game on, let's just do this and go full-scale war against Iranian proxy groups in Iraq and Syria. That's not what we're there for. We're there to conduct the mission in support of the defeat of ISIS. Again, I've already highlighted what our focus is. Lara. Can you please tell us, did any Iranians die in the attacks on Friday? So, Lara, as I understand it, CENTCOM is continuing to sest, but initial indications are, we're not aware of any Iranians killed. But again, we'll continue to analyze and as we have updates, we'll let you know. Lauren. Sorry, second question. The U.S. officials have said there will be more or their response will be continuing to the attack in Jordan. Are you the Pentagon planning for a long-term campaign in Iraq and Syria? So no, as I understand it, that's not the case. But again, I'm not going to get into specifics on what future operations could look like other than to say there will be a time and place of our choosing. Lauren. You've now conducted three joint strikes on Houthi targets with the U.K. and a growing number of unilateral strikes. Given that Houthi attacks continue, can you say what the assessment is on how much of their weaponry you've been able to take away at this point? And then just one question, Sentinel said on Saturday or after the strikes on Yemen that they struck facilities deep underground. Can you say what type of munition we've used in that case and if it's the first time we've seen that? Yeah, thanks, Lauren. On your latter question, no, I'm not going to get into the specific weapon nearing for our targeting. And then in terms of the degradation of capability, I don't have any statistics to pass along to you today but certainly understand the interest in that and as we have that information to provide, we certainly will. All that to say as you highlighted, the three coalition strikes plus at this point, 14 U.S. unilateral strikes in self-defense all add up to what we believe is degrading a significant amount of capability. Again, toward the end of disrupting and degrading their capability to conduct these kinds of attacks. Let me do a couple from the phone here. Howard Altman. Hey, thanks, Pat. Couple of things. Are you tracking any civilian casualties in the strikes from Friday night? And then is the U.S. plusing up or adding troops to Syria from Iraq as these attacks continue? Yeah, thanks, Howard. I'm not aware of any, well, I don't have anything to announce in terms of force posture changes. At this time, and then in terms of civilian casualties, again, CENCOM continues to assess and as we have more information to provide, we'll be sure to let you know. Again, as we conducted these strikes, as always, we took significant measures to minimize or mitigate any potential civilian harm. But again, as we have updates, we'll be sure to provide those. Let me go to Heather, U.S. and I. Hi, thanks so much. Just to follow up on the strikes with on Yemen, it seems that every time that the U.S. is constantly striking Yemen and then Yemen or the Houthis then strike back on ships. So is the United States having any effect on deterrence? It seems like the Houthis have come out and said that they're gonna continue to do this until Israel stops bombing Gaza. So I guess, what are the next steps here with the Houthis? Again, Heather, the focus here is on disrupting and degrading their capabilities to conduct these kinds of attacks. So we do assess that we are having an impact on their capability. Certainly, everyone would like to see the Houthis stop these attacks and we will continue to call on them to stop immediately. But if they don't, we will continue to take appropriate actions to not only defend international shipping and mariners transiting the Red Sea but also continuing to degrade and disrupt their capabilities. Thank you very much, Phil. In the wake of the January 28th attack on the outpost in Jordan, has the U.S. military taken any steps in particular to improve safety for U.S. troops there or other bases in the region? Yeah, thanks, Phil. So broadly speaking, we're always gonna take steps to protect our forces. As I'm sure you can appreciate for operation security reasons, I'm just not able to go into specifics on what that may be other than to say I can assure you that this is top of mind not only for the Secretary of Defense but also for General Carillo. But not asking any specifics, I just asked whether you've done anything. We've taken appropriate measures but that's about as specific as I can get. Okay, and then you said to Laura that this was not an open-ended campaign but I think a lot of people are wondering whether we're talking about a period of days or weeks or whether or not we'll even know when this counter attack is over. What clarity can we provide? Yeah, again, we've been very clear that we are going to take appropriate action in response to the deaths of three of our service members, multiple wounded, and that we hold those accountable. Again, for operation security reasons, I'm just not going to go into timelines or forecast potential actions again other than we will conduct those operations in a time and manner of our choosing. Let me go to Konstantin. Thank you. Just a follow-up on Phil's point, I mean, so when these attacks all began in October, yourself, you announced that we were sending units of Patriot and Thad batteries to bolster air defenses in reaction to those strikes. Now, we're not getting any specifics. Is there a reason for that shift in messaging? Yeah, especially as we've seen these attacks, I just don't want to telegraph and highlight capabilities at these individual installations especially when we have forces in harm's way. And as you recall, when we announced those deployments, those were coming from the United States into theater, but what we didn't tell you was specifically where those capabilities are going and how they were going to be employed. And so again, if I'm one of those troopers on that base, I don't want to necessarily broadcast widely what capabilities we have, what capabilities we don't have. Also, those announcements included a significant number of forces associated with them, which is why we announced those deployments. And then just one last quick follow-up. Does the Pentagon feel that it has sufficient anti-drone capability in the theater right now? Again, I'm not going to get into readiness levels other than we obviously understand that counter-drone is a significant requirement and something that I can assure you is taken very, very seriously. Will. Just to follow up on the questions on the duration of the strikes in this campaign. Is, will the U.S. strikes continue as long as there are attacks on American personnel? Is that the end game to get this to zero? How is that defined really? Well, we're going to take whatever necessary actions are required to protect our forces. Again, I don't want to get into hypotheticals. I don't want to predict the future. You have U.S. military forces that are there focused on the defeat ISIS mission. If those forces are threatened or harmed, we will take appropriate action. I'll just leave it at that, Vadi. Thank you, General. I want to go back to the Iraqi government statement that they wrote. They called or described the strikes as act of aggression. They talked about the loss of 16 martyrs, including civilians and 25 injured, damage to residential buildings and citizens property. Can you confirm from the podium that no civilian harm occurred in these strikes in Iraq? Yeah, thanks, Vadi. I think I've answered that. We're continuing to assess. We always will take any reports of civilian casualties seriously, and we will provide you updates as it becomes available. At this point, you can't rule out this. Again, syncoms continuing to assess it. And then, so the same statement said International Coalition has become the reason for endangering security and stability. Despite this protest from the Iraqi government, and their assertion that what happened on Friday was targeting security forces, the same security forces that the Iraqi prime minister visited in the hospital. And despite the warning that these actions endanger the stability of Iraq, are you saying that the U.S. will continue strikes inside Iraq? Vadi, again, I can't speak for the government of Iraq. I'd refer you to them, obviously. When it comes to our operations and what we targeted and what we struck, I think I've been very clear what that is. And again, I'll emphasize that we greatly value Iraq as a partner. Their security and stability is vital to the broader region, and we'll continue to work closely with our Iraqi partners and continue to consult closely with them. But as we've said before, if our forces are threatened or harmed, we have to take appropriate action and we'll take appropriate action going forward. We go to Mike and I come to Wafa. Yes, sir, thanks, Pat. Have you noticed any improvement in the commercial shipping situation in Aden and Red Sea since the United States has been conducting these retaliatory strikes against the Houthis? Yeah, Mike, I don't have any data in front of me in terms of commercial shipping rates. I'm sure that commercial firms could provide that. I will tell you that NAVSENT regularly communicates with those shipping houses to ensure that we understand what their needs are, what their concerns are as we conduct Operation Prosperity Guardian. I am aware anecdotally of reports, as you know, of some companies choosing not to transit the Red Sea. But for those that do, Operation Prosperity Guardian, which is a defensive coalition, is there to ensure that there is joint security patrols in the vicinity should there be a requirement to defend those ships. So that will continue to be what we stay focused on. Wafa. Thank you, General. I have a follow-up on Iraq and then a different question. Has the HMC held any meetings since Friday strikes? So Wafa, what I would tell you is that, as I understand it, the U.S. Embassy and CJTFOAR continue to remain focused on working with our Iraqi partners regarding the HMC. But in terms of timelines and for meetings, I know that they'll continue to stay focused on that, but I just don't have any updates to provide in terms of when those actual meetings will occur. Jake Sullivan yesterday ruled out, or didn't rule out, actually strikes inside Iran. Is this an option that's being considered as part of the response to the January 28th attack? Well, I'm not gonna speak for Mr. Sullivan. I think his words speak for themselves. As I highlighted earlier, we're not going to talk about or forecast any potential future operations other than to say there will be additional responses and that those will be at a time and place where we're choosing. I would also again emphasize that we are not seeking escalation in the region, just the opposite, but that we won't hesitate to protect our forces. When it comes to Iran, red lines cannot be crossed because the risk of... Yeah, again, I think I've been very clear what our focus is, and I think we've been very clear from this podium that we, the United States, the Department of Defense do not seek war with Iran, but if our forces are threatened or attacked, we will take appropriate action. Time for a few more, good Jared, and then we'll finish here with Jane. Thanks, so on these separate efforts in Iraq and Syria, on the other hand, with the Houthis in Yemen, not to belabor the point, but if I can ask it a different way, is the Department sufficiently confident in its intelligence on Houthi material and supply lines that these strikes can successfully attrit their capabilities in the coming months? Yeah, so Jared, what I would tell you, so first of all, I'm not going to talk about intelligence. Second of all, our goal is not to completely eliminate the capabilities of Houthi forces. Our goal is to disrupt and degrade their ability to conduct these attacks. Okay, and as it relates to ensuring that international shipping, naval vessels, mariners can transit the Red Sea safely and securely, in accordance with freedom of navigation, that will continue to be our focus. Nothing about split hairs here, but is that precisely the same approach the Department is taking in Iraq? Or if these attacks in Iraq continue, do you anticipate perhaps an expansion of the scope of U.S. strikes? Again, look, I'm not gonna get into hypothetical situations other than our focus is on the defeat ISIS mission. If our forces are threatened or attacked, we will take appropriate action. Last question, Jeannie. Thank you. As you know, the North Korea continues to launch cruise missiles. How is the information sharing between the United States, South Korea, and Japan working now? Well, as you know, we have excellent relations between, an excellent relationship between the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, and we will continue to share information as it relates to regional security and stability. And I'll just leave it there. Are you also completely tracking North Korea's missile launches, Jeannie? I'm not gonna get into intelligence, but clearly, we keep a very close eye on the region, and as always, we will continue to consult closely with our allies and our partners in the region. Thank you. Thanks very much, everybody.


Good afternoon. My name is Captain Connor Shepherd. I'm the commander of headquarters and headquarters attachment 39 single battalion. We're here at Chevron Air Base conducting a nuclear biological chemical reactive contact lane for the headquarters. What we've done today is conduct army warrior tasks three separate stations covering decontamination using your JS list and marking contaminated sites. That all culminated with entry into the NBC chamber behind me where soldiers are able to gain confidence in their protective equipment and also experience some of the riot control agent that's used commonly referred to as CS. We had a really good turnout today with a lot of good training going on. I had a lot of great instructors that were out here both from the NBC and from the single battalion itself to get a lot of good training going on. That's the main overview of what we had going on today and you'll see a lot of great training that was recorded and taken into the photo today.


It feels great. It's always really good validation when the industry recognizes the work that you've done. I'm truly fortunate, of course, for having worked in a company which allows me the opportunity to not just personally express myself, but through the work that we do, through the brands that we have, make an impact to the society. I'm really grateful for this. Thank you so much. It feels great. An industry is not like one amorphous body. It's made of people. It's made of people who are men and women. And I think what all of us need to do, because we are the industry, is to keep an open mind, give ideas a chance, and really, really celebrate merit where it exists, whether it's men or women. I truly don't think it matters, but we really have to be open-minded as an industry to give merit its due.


The web in the library. Which one should I use? So you've been given a research assignment. Are you going to use the web? Or are you going to use the library? Often it isn't one or the other. It's both. How do you know what you should use? Let's look at the strength of web resources and library resources. You can find lots of good resource material on the web. There are news and journal articles, videos, images, company reports, data, and government information. Many organizations and companies have their own websites that provide useful information. In order to use them as resources, all you need is web access. You may be able to download or save the information that you find. Be aware, however, that some material on the web may require payment. Check with your library because they may already have access to paid content. Information gets added to and subtracted from the web every day. Remember, the web is enormous and it's easy to get lost researching unless you have a specific search goal. Unlike the web, the library gathers materials specifically to support your academic program. Just like on the web, you can find news and journal articles, videos, images, company reports, data, and government information, all in one convenient online format. The library also maintains a physical collection of books, DVDs, magazines, journals, and other materials. The library's resources are different from the web because items are purchased specifically for their strong, relevant connection to your academic program. The material is selected using an evaluation process that includes your professors, subject experts, and library professionals. There's no charge for you to access library resources. Both the web and the library offer resources that can help you with your assignments.

OK. Right. Seeing as there's like literally nobody watching, this is probably going to be fairly pointless. OK. Right. Seeing as there's like literally nobody watching, this is probably going to be... OK. So yeah, so this is the new thing. This is me about to play some of the worst games on Steam. It started off with this one, Uriel's Chasm. Now, if I remember, let's just check out some of the user reviews for this. Oh, I can't be bothered to go there now. Some of the user reviews for this game are pretty horrendous, ranging from this game gave me cancer to one of my favourites which was I had a falling out with my friend and I didn't think there was anything we could do to patch up the friendship. Then he gifted me this game and I knew the friendship was over.  I don't know. It's called Uriel's Chasm. So I guess without further ado, we should maybe get stuck in. This is my first stream so I apologise if I'm not following the rules of streaming or whatever.  So here we go, Uriel's Chasm. Let's rock and roll. Hi, it's us again, Show me your greens. So we found this old game. We vaguely remember buying it in the 90s. Of course, of course you did. It sucked. I'm not sure how we got it. To be fair, I think most of the games... I remember a joke to me about coming down from space on an asteroid. My name is Sister Tabitha. I've been sent to the outer fringes of the galaxy on a rescue mission. Well, it's better you've got to earn your money somehow. I'm here to investigate the disappearance of a great orbital monastery in our home. Today, I walk up, for all Christians this morning, to a kiss, a victorious team. Right, it must be great as a name. God, mine asteroids to find faith in, obviously. It's found by reading the Bible fragments, being a sense of responsibility. Cancelled out of the game. I'll tell you what. Give me a second. Let's turn the mic up. How do I actually do this? Somewhere here. No. Properties. No, no, no. Settings, audio, microphone. There used to be a setting on this to change the game, but now I can't find it. So what are you going to do? Maybe if I move the microphone closer to my mouth. How does that? How does that grab you? Yeah. Okay. Good. Let's go back into the game. Play. Hi, it's us again. Don't care. So we found this old game. So we found this old game. It sucked. I'm not even sure how we got it.  There we go. So my voice should be allowed at the game now. Right, here we go. Yes, I've turned the game music down. There we go. I've used the volume mixer. Of course. Right, here we go. Can I skip past this? You can't even skip the intro. You can't skip the intro. Oh, God in paradise. The game is still stupidly loud. Right, there we go. Is that any better? I don't know. There is a slight delay between the messages in here and there and the actual stuff. Oh, God. Oh, God. For the record, right? Lesson time now. If you're ever designing a game, don't design this one. There's today's lesson. I'm here to investigate the disappearance of the Great Orbital Monastery in October. I think it exploded when they all died of boredom. Today, I woke up. Even I can make a better game. Yes, I fully believe that. Right. Feel free to publish this live stream address on all your favourite channels. It's only going to get more boring. Oh, come on. What's that? Yeah, okay. Everyone to watch it. I'm sure they'll be totally thrilled. I'm glad I know. You know how much I've paid for this game? I've paid 59p in this game. I still feel I was really told. 88. Get it. The music's awesome, isn't it? 298. So I've got to get at least a thousand fave. There we go. That might be a bit better. Oh, my fave. Oh, do I actually get fave for actually blowing up those asteroids? Or even if I don't get a Bible thing out of them? Apparently not. Oh, Bibles. Come on. I've got to do it this time.  I'm going to run out of fuel at this rate. I'm not going to have...  Oh, Bible. 820. Oh, God, but that's gone up to 1200 now. And I'm out of fuel. Wonderful. What a brilliant game. And so what happens now? We all start again. We all start again. Right. OK. Ah! Right. Ah! Bibles! Bibles! Space Bible. What even is this game, man? I just want a Bible.  I can see how playing this game would make you lose your faith as well. I don't believe how a God could exist in any world that produces this thing. Oh, Bibles everywhere. Ah, come on. Woo! This game is impossible. There is no way to do it without running out of fuel.  Ah, another Bible. Gotcha! 501. Oh, come on, man! Oh, God! Ah! What does the garden represent anyway? Is it Garden of Eden? What is it? What kind of garden is it? 30. Oh, so you do actually get a minor bit of faith for destroying an asteroid. Because I know every time I blow up a giant chunk of space rock it makes me think there is a God. I wonder if there's any cheat codes for this.  Obviously, I want to experience the full joy of this storyline, so I bet it's got a great story, hasn't it? I went to space and I destroyed some rocks and that made me believe in God. And now I can... Well, I don't know because we're never going to finish the story, are we?  It hardly does any damage. There's a Bible thing there. I don't understand how this garden increases its points.  I'll happily take that 59p. Hope you're enjoying the 1080p 60 frames per second awesome live stream here. You know, I'm really, really pushing my computer to the absolute limits of what's possible with it. I'm going to run out of fuel again. There's no way in how long I'm going to do this. I wonder if anyone's written a walkthrough. You know, top tips for Uriel's chasm. Number one, don't play.  Right, let's try again, shall we? Oh, avoid the giant floating thing, whatever that is. Oh, asteroid, monasteroid. Destroy, destroy. Yes. Oh, thank you. Boom. Thank you. Oh, Bible. Yep. Who tested this game?  I reckon this game's ready for release. But you know what? It cost me 59p, which was a rip-off, by the way. It was not even worth that. But that was on special offer. That was like 85% off. It normally costs over £2. Can you imagine paying more than £2 for this? Oh, God, another one of those things.  And all they do is reduce your faith because they're rubbish. What are those? Boish, boish. Give me that. Give it to me. There we go. Didn't actually do anything. They did it. Come on, Bibles. Oh, Bible. Right, I'm on 272. I need to get 1,138. That's not going to happen, is it? Isn't DMT some sort of psychoactive drug? That's what's powering my mining laser.  Bible. DMT there. Did they actually expect people to read that text down the bottom there? Let me take your eyes off the screen for even a second. When there's that thing spinning around, you've got no idea where these Bible verses are going to come from. Constantly running out of fuel and mining ammo, whatever it's called, DMT. Yes! 592. I'm still nowhere near. Absolutely nowhere near, but there's... Oh, yeah! Okay.  Just give me some Bibles, man. Random space Bible. There we go. Oh, God. It's like moving goalposts every step of the way. Oh, come on, Bible. Yes, 912. This could be it, lads. This could be it. Bible. 962. So you get like 50 per Bible. 1097. 1092. Come on, man. Bibles everywhere! I've almost done it. Come on. This is actual seat of the pants stuff right now. No, you can get fucked. Oh, come on, man. I've got like 20 more points of faith. Come on, I believe. Yes! Oh, God, right.  I thought it was 4K. I'm not quitting. You'll never make me quit. Overwatch, what the hell's that? I don't even know what that is. Yes, boys! Who have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavily placed in Christ? So, you know what? I don't reckon there's any save points in this game. I don't know how many levels there are. I don't know how long it's going to take me to get through. This woman is so boring. Wait, am I destroying crucifixes? Isn't that sacrilege?  Whatever. Obviously, I'm playing this on the keyboard. Are you crashing to the floor as well? Whatever. Oh, no, not all the way back here.  It's like the only points you get are for finishing the level. And once these things start shooting, it's not like you can get in front of them. Oh, God. I've got one heart left. And the controls are way too sensitive. Oh, God!  And those purple things actually block my shots and you crash into the floor.  Oh, we're doing better than this time. Oh, there's going to be a guy there. Smash. You have that. Yeah! Have it, you slags.  Oh, cool. I like the way the music is like literal 10 of 15 seconds and then just loops. Oh, no, there is an actual other bit. There's another bit. There's another bit. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Oh, no. Oh, come on. I have to go all the way back here.  I'm still alive. What? Here we go. I'm in the zone now. I'm in the zone. How did I get hit then? I swear I just glitched straight through those bullets then. I'm like literally on death's door now.   I can't even hit that thing. Look. Oh, one more touch and I'm dead. I'm not sure. I have no idea where the actual hitbox is on this thing. Sometimes I just clip straight through bullets and other times. See what I mean? I quite like that skin tight leather battle nun outfit there. That's kind of hot. I think the hitbox is on her face. So as long as she doesn't get hit in the face, things should be all right. Oh, what? Can't actually shoot that thing, so you've just got to avoid it. I don't know whether that's like a feature or a bug or both. All right. Allow this. Oh, yeah. I literally just flew into the wall there.  Oh, no. Just blame your team. Well, to be fair, if your team is made up of space Christians, I think you're just asking for trouble, aren't you? Oh, God. The thing is, I'm committed now. I don't want to quit the game, because I know I'll have to do that first level again, and that was like the literal interpretation of hell. Oh, my God. All right, this time. No, no. That was just rubbish. Right. Okay. Can't shoot that thing for whatever reason. Just totally bugged out.    I hate... Whenever I see a crust now, it's going to make me angry. Oh, God. Right, we're doing all right now. We're doing all right. Oh, shut it. Oh, no. I'm not going to make it this time. I'm not going to make it. What sadistic person made this? Lucifer himself is a games designer, and he made Uriel's chasm.  It's going to be like an arcade game, and it's going to say insert coin to not continue, and I'm not going to have any change.  Keep avoiding it. There we go. Oh, why did you do that? Why?   I think this is the furthest I've ever got.  The way it resets you to the very start of the level every single time is if it's constantly taunting you.  That's this game, man. Oh, God. Right, here we go. Here we go. Oh, where's the fire button, Zed? There we go. Messed that up, didn't I? I reckon this uses a Frostbite engine, doesn't it? Something like that. To be fair, it's probably still better than most games that EA put out, so it's certainly better than Call of Duty. I've got literally no lives. One more hit, and I'm dead. Can't shoot those things. Brilliant.  Oh, God, and I flew into the ground because you know there's nothing better than a shoot them up where you can fly into the ground and you don't actually know where your hitboxes are. They're really piloting there.  I swear all those bullets went straight through me then. No, they hit me. Eurus has them greater than Watch Dogs 2. I've never played Watch Dogs 2, but if it pisses people off to say it, then yeah, I'll go along with that. I wonder if they thought like anyone would get any enjoyment whatsoever out of this game. I mean from playing it, obviously I know you guys are loving every minute of this broadcast. Oh, God, no, no!  Oh, God, I died again.  No! On the plus side, when I finally do beat this level, I'm gonna whoop for joy like you never saw before. Well, at least since the end of that last level. You don't even get any points. There's nothing to aim for. It's just literal survival.  It's just, oh, yeah, well, you know, well, I got to the end of the level, and then I got treated to probably another boring cutscene with that woman just like saying, and then I did some other Bible stuff and then I did some other Bible stuff in space. Bible stuff in space. What's that giant spinning mouth? Oh, what's this? No! Oh, that wasn't so bad.  Dig me ears through this flesh added to the stars above. Wi-Fi, indeed, Pete. Adrian. Right, what? Oh, it's that Welsh girl again. What? What? What did she even say? Did anyone catch that? And why interrupt this game with, like, videos of Welsh people? No, I tell you, after playing this game I definitely want everyone to die, mate. There's a real high quality video capture on this as well. Like, literally. All right, mate. No, there's no options. How about, like, the option of you guys getting out the way so I can play the... You know, it's weird, isn't it? I actually want to play the game more than watch these... Ah, here we go. Tree seven. What? Okay. Ooh. What am I actually supposed to do here?  It abideth alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit! Oh, God. Okay, so it's not that way. Yeah, as you can probably tell, it's, like, nearly impossible to control this because, like, the whole thing's, like, spinning round. I've got no indication as to where the hell I'm actually supposed to go. Ooh. Death is swallowed up in victory, oh death. Where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin. Oh, I didn't have time to read it, man! Come on!  What is this that I'm running on as well? It looks like fecal matter. Oh, this... Oh, wicked! For as much then as the children are partakers of the flesh and blood, he also himself likewise taught part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that at the power of death. Oh, come on! I still didn't get to read it, and I was reading it twice as fast. Okay. Into the magical swirling time toilet. Yes, in this way. I wonder if this game comes with an epilepsy warning.  God is not the God of the dead, but of the living! I got to read that one, finally. Three, oh no! Now I don't know where I am. Oh, man. Up here. No, no, no. Oh, come on! Here we go, here we go, here we go. Joint, joint, joint, joint. Right. Three more trees. There's one. Alright, let's go back this way. Up there, I'm guessing. They really need to work on the difficulty curve of this game, because like, compared to the other levels, this piss easy. Verily, verily, and I say unto you, except a corn, I've had that one already, guys. You're repeating your Bible verses now? God's sake. One more tree. Where could that be? Down here, maybe. Uh, do I come this way? No, maybe. Drop down here. Down there. Drop off there. Let's go this way. There he is! Yeah! Death is swallowed up in victory! Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh, grave, where is thy victory? Again, can't hear what you're saying, mate. No. No, I refuse to thank any god that would create a creature that would create this game. I should be a voice actor, Sukhraj. You're entirely correct. I should be a voice actor. I'd certainly do a better job than these guys. What? What is this guy talking about now? Mate, you're making me miss the game.   This is not a game! Yeah, man! It's got a bit metal!  What is this thing? God, it's like...  No! Actually, have an epileptic seizure. No, no, no!  And by you I mean me!  Oh my god! Alright, here we go. This time, this time, this time, this time, this time!  Alright, halfway there, and I'm more than halfway to death, so... I'm gonna need some luck on my side, which I didn't have! Right, okay, first wave done. Let's keep on going. Right, second wave done, let's keep on going. No! No! No! God! Right, here we go, this time, this time, this time, this time! Right, wave one done, let's keep on going. The sound is making me want to kill! It makes me want to rise up and kill! Wave two done!  It's just like spots of colour here and there. Oh, come on man! Oh my god! No, right, okay, here we go. Right, wave one, perfect, here we go. We can do this.   Right, I'm not quite halfway, and I'm actually halfway dead, so let's need some... Right, halfway, and two-thirds dead. We need to pull something out the fire here. Oh god! The giant mutated space frog spawn! What even is this thing? Right, here we go. Excellent, let's keep on going. Read the manual, but there is no manual, so we can't do that. Oh god, no! Right, come on, tunnel vision, tunnel vision. Right, we're doing alright, we're doing alright, we're doing alright, we're doing alright. Keep this up, Carl, keep this up! No, you moped! Right, couple more waves and we should be clear. Just a couple more waves, don't get hit, don't get hit! Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go! Wooo! Yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Say it! Yeah, what is this music, man? Yeah, I couldn't totally see a vagina shape in the giraffe head because I wasn't actually looking at the giraffe, all I could look at was like, my ship and nothing else. So I'm trying to read some of the chat messages. It's a feminist giraffe, is it? Rip epileptic people! Yes, indeed. The power of Satan compels me. I'm hoping there's going to be something after this, maybe. Okay. Now what happens? It just says the end and it's rotating round. Come on, man. I don't want to listen to this song. This is like the least inspired, where's the credits, okay?   Who's responsible this? I'm going to get them banned for life. Okay. Oh, there's the end of the song. So, that's it. It's just this forever now. Is that right? Space Mormons would be a better game, Pete. Space Mormons would be a better game. Isn't Battlestar Galactica? Isn't that Space Mormons? I'm pretty sure it's Battlestar Space Mormons. Right, that's all food. There really is nothing I can do now.  No! Did I just skip past something? I don't know. Did I click play again? What happened if I clicked play again? Oh, God, no! No, get away! You vaguely remember buying it in 90s. Except you didn't, did you? You vaguely remember making it the other week. Yeah, that's a hilarious joke, isn't it? Oh, I guess it was just that. Right, well, thank you very much for watching, everybody. This has been the first of a potential series of streams entitled Let's Play the Worst Games on Steam while you sit and look at my face or words to that effect. If anyone's got any suggestions for the next game that I play, put them in the comments, or if anyone wants to gift me the game on Steam, then you'll need to know my Steam ID and I'm certainly not giving that out in a public thing, but those of you who know me, you can give me a crap game if you want and I'll stream it for you. This cost me 59p. It was the worst 59p I've ever spent. I'd rather pay someone 10 pounds to punch me in the balls. And that's all I've really got to say about that, so Uriel's chasm, there it is, it was 85% off and I feel dead inside having played it. So peace out, Hail Satan and I will see you all next time.


Tragedy has struck the family of YouTube's former CEO and we are going to be covering the reactions. Yeah, obviously this is sad news and I think that it relates to a situation that a lot of people across America are going through right now. Let's run the clip. The 19 year old son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wajiski has died. According to authorities, Marco Troper, a freshman at UC Berkeley was found dead inside his dorm room on Tuesday. His grandmother telling the San Francisco gate he died of an apparent overdose. It is unclear what kind of drug was involved. However, a UC Berkeley spokesperson confirms there were no signs of foul play. His grandmother says the family is devastated beyond comprehension. The son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wajiski has been found dead at the University of California with his family suspecting a drug overdose as the cause. 19 year old Marco Troper, a freshman at UC Berkeley, was found unresponsive in the Clark Kerr student complex on Tuesday afternoon. The math major's grandmother, Esther Wajiski, suggested he might have succumbed to a drug overdose after confirming his death and identity. Yeah, this is terrible news, but it actually relates to a trend that is happening in America right now. Obviously, R.R.P. to Marco Troper, the son of Susan Wajiski, the former CEO of YouTube, Andrew, we actually saw her speak one time at a YouTube conference for creators. I just think that this is a trend right now, and it's happening to a lot of people, almost regardless of socioeconomic status. You know what I mean? You have billionaire kids, millionaire kids, middle class kids, lower middle class kids, and of course lower class kids, and it seems like it's impacting everybody equally. Yeah, I mean, let's talk about it. So, yeah, let us know if you like topics like this as we cover them. But I guess I would say, David, is this considered a suicide or just a drug overdose? And is there a difference? I don't know, because I don't think that, you know, all the reports are out right now. I believe that a lot of people suspect that it's a drug overdose, possibly fentanyl. Obviously, that's what has been the trend, right? Right, right, right. That is what's trendy right now, as in that's a common droog. Right, right. But what it gets cut into something else, right, that people are not expecting.  Obviously, we talk about the suicide rate in Asia, especially like South Korea, Japan, primarily. But I guess like, why is this big news? Is it because she's a rich and famous person? You know, her net worth is 800 million. Obviously, rich families are actually not devoid of this tragedy. Right, and you can also argue that rich private school kids, Andrew, they might even do more drugs, right? And I think it's regardless of like upbringing, look at Hunter Biden, look at Donald Trump Jr. Ray Dalio's son.  So I guess it really can happen to anybody. But it seems like even that there are statistics that show even amongst the richer neighborhoods, it even happens more often. Right. I think there's more heavy drug use because the kids may have the liquidity or the money. The access to it. And the access, because it's a lot of things, it's like there's the desire to do something, but there's also the capacity and the access, like you said, also you need the capital. I think the internet reaction shows a few things, though. You know, obviously, there is the typical like outpour of sympathy for somebody that, you know, was the CEO of a product that everybody used for a number of years, right? Obviously, she was CEO since 2014, Andrew. That's like how long we've been on YouTube. You know what I mean? And but there's other people being like, oh, they deserved it.  Yeah, the internet is never going to be kind about this kind of thing.  Right, right, right, right. So anyway, let's just get into the comments section. Like we said, RIP, hopefully, you know, us doing this video is really to hopefully like people can actually take something away from this rather than the emotional reactions one way or the other.  She said, you know, one thing we know is right now is that it was drugs involved. Right. Like that's all we know right now. She actually wrote a book saying how to raise successful people because she had three daughters that were really successful. One of them was married to Sergey Brin who founded Google and who ended up she ended up founding 23 and me. Right. So she did do stuff on her own.  You know what I mean? Like one through one way or another and they were powerhouses. Right. Do you think it's true though that that doesn't necessarily mean those powerhouses kids will be in the same situation because me and you know, Andrew, we have immigrant parents who's to say that our kids wouldn't be more likely to engage in more hyper American dopamine chasing activities than we would be because we're still so close to that first generation struggle. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that it's tough because as a as a parent, you know, I think you've, I bet there's a lot of cases where parents feel like they've done everything right. Treated that kid with respect showed them the right path. Obviously giving them everything. Yeah.  So I do think I bet now I don't have the stats for this, but I would assume that children of immigrants have a lower suicide rate. I would just bet it because you grow up in a family where you maybe have somewhat of a mission built in. Not every kid feels like this. I'm sure there's cases that, you know, I do know of some cases where it's happened regardless, but I guess like the rate might be lower just because you feel like you have a mission in life. To be, I don't know. Like you said, I think the situation and what motivates you and what your parents teach you growing up is completely different. Yeah.  That's true. That's true. That's true. Yeah. It happens in all ways. See, I guess the truth is, man, it can kind of happen to anybody, not to like scare it for different reasons. Yeah. Not to scare people, but it does happen to all. Somebody said it's so crazy how privileged these kids are. The first thing that they want to do is drugs. Somebody was saying, you know, some kids, they have everything. They have looks. They have money. They have access to systems and networks. And then they just throw it all away. And someone said, they're all hedonists. And this is what happens when you're rich and you get everything you want. That kid probably never lifted a finger for work, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Obviously, you know, people are saying like, if you have a future of prosperity already predetermined, sometimes it's really easy to slip into like behaviors where you're like, well, just self satisfaction is the only thing that matters. Yeah. Yeah. I do know of a parent, a family whose child told me, he told me that his parents lied to him about how much money they had growing up. So they actually were doing pretty well as a family business growing up, but they kind of hid their wealth from the children in order to build in that work ethic. And it kind of worked for maybe like two out of three of the kids. But so it's not going to work three out of three. It's not going to build in that. You never know again. One thing I've noticed is that every wealthy parent has a different approach. Like you said, some people try to recreate the struggle. Some people try to make their kids work at a menial job and work their way up the ladder to get some sense of it. Everybody has like a different approach, you know, but I'll tell you this. It's very difficult to recreate something in a way that doesn't exist. Like if there's not a real fire behind somebody's butt, it's difficult to make them feel like there's a fire underneath them and behind them. Right. Other people are saying, and of course the comments got political. This is the outcome of liberal policies on America brought down to a personal level. People are talking about border control, precursors shipped over from China, all types of things. Is this a legitimate debate to have when something like this happens to somebody high profile? Of course. There is a domino effect and there isn't. But then there's personal responsibility too. I don't think it has to do with the liberal policies as much, man. I think this is just the right wing person just trying to use this. Right. Because other people were like, what people didn't overdose on drugs like in the 70s and 80s, like in Miami during like cowboys and all this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of, yeah, it's always happened. Right. Right. Right.   Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is true. I do think that what is tough, but I'm sure I don't know if Susan's family really cares about this right now because this is probably the least of their concerns, but like there are always going to be people who kind of want to see the rich fall. You know, no matter if the riches is left or right, whether they're liberal or conservative, if they're just rich, people are going to look at them as opposition and be like, see, you guys don't have it all together. Even your kids can go into these emotional dark places and never come out of them. Right. And it's like, and you gave them everything. So you're wrong. You're clearly not a perfect person. You're not a perfect parent. Right. Yeah. Because what in, in, in society, we sort of put these people on a pedestal, like they did everything right. They're much stronger like game players than we are. So they're able to accumulate all this wealth and assets and like, I guess it comes down to like, sometimes people feeling like, man, these self-righteous people always try to tell me how to live, try to give me advice, but they don't have it all together. No, it's true. I mean, and this is a very, like we said, I think internet comments tend to show people's worst face though. And in person, people tend to be much more balanced generally. Not always, especially depends on their state of mind. People were just talking about how come everybody is required to carry Narcan. They're trying to tell regular citizens Andrew on the New York subway to carry Narcan. They're like Narcan in every dorm room. What is where are we at as a society in terms of normalized behavior? If people are advertising that people need to carry this thing with them to save somebody. Yeah. Yeah, it is kind of weird. I mean, I think there's definitely a drug problem. And I think that the suicide rate is only just one symptom of suicide. Obviously, I think there's actually, I think there's actually worse problems than suicide that drugs create. Like I think drugs, drugs in America, they create a lot of other even huge macro problems.  Yeah, because I would say, you know, we all know Japan and South Korea, they have no drugs, like no hard drugs. Very, very hard to get hard drugs. So the extremely hard. So when it comes to like suicide or drug overdose or accidental drug overdose in that country. Well, I mean, suicide from drug overdose is low, but suicide in itself is very high. Well, because they have a completely different society. Right. A lot of really, really heavy buying culture. Yeah. A lot of pressure and a lot of shame in that culture. So no matter what culture you have, there's going to be sadness, right? And there's going to be this. So I don't, I'm not saying you can stop it completely. No one can.  I guess like, did they see any warning signs? Did they try to get them therapy? Sometimes the answer is that he, he had all these expectations. Maybe he only went to honestly as crazy as it sounds. He only went to UC Berkeley for his family. That might have not been good enough. Right. And maybe it's kind of crazy to say this. And like I said, RIP to him, like I'm not making light of this at all, but it's like almost like, what if he was a different type of thrill seeker where he was doing like a, you know, building jumping or like a hand gliding. And then there was an accident and he passed doing like extreme skiing or something like that. Right. Would that be perceived differently?  I don't know. That's a good point.  Like, how would it be perceived? Like, I guess is your college student child dying period? Is that a failure? If they died doing something risky and surfing in these hard waters because that's their passion, or if they die overdosing from drugs, obviously it is perceived differently, but at the end of the day, they're still going too soon. You know what I mean? So I guess it's still volatile behaviors, but in different ways. Like the problem, the probabilities in both of those like lifestyle lanes is not that good, but completely perceived differently. Right. Like we said, guys. Risky behavior, but for different reasons. Yes. Yes. RIP and man, you know, the reason that we covered this, it was not to, you know what I mean? It's a tragedy, but we just wanted to cover it because it's going viral right now because it's high profile, but it's relating to something that's like a lot of people are going through at the moment. Yeah. So I guess anybody out there in the comments down below, like what would you say the simplest, I mean there's no simple solution to this, but I guess a lot of people in the comments I've seen are like just don't do drugs. That is number one. Don't get hooked on drugs. And if you do that is going to put you in a really bad position. Right. But obviously, like we said, people can die many different ways out there. So anyways, you guys let us know in the comments down below what you think. And until next time, we out. Peace.


The challenge of the Yukon. On King! On New Huskies! The Wonder Dog King, swift as and strong as a Eskimo-leaf dog, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest Monod Police, a preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge, and justice ruled triumphant. Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Monod was driving his dog team into Dawson City when he saw Jim Christie and his little daughter Sally at the edge of the trail. Oh, King! Who are you, Huskies? Hello there, Jim. Hi, Sally. Hello, Sergeant Preston. Can I give you a lift? I'm going your way. Sure can. It'll help if I don't have to lug this tree home on my shoulder. Put it on the sled. Sally can ride, too. Oh, thanks, Sergeant Preston. This is my Christmas tree. Daddy let me help pick it out. He just cut it down. And it's a fine tree, too. Put it right here, Jim. There we go.  Now you can stop and see Frisky. He's grown since you left. Ah, Sally, Sergeant Preston's probably tired. He won't want to stop and see your puppy. Well, I'd like to see him. Come on, Sally, I'll lift you up on the sled. Thank you. She sure worships that puppy you gave her, Sergeant. He's going to have a nice Christmas, too, and hanging stocking up for him right beside mine. Frisky's a lucky little dog, having you take care of him. Well, are we all ready? Yep. I'm ready. On King! On you, Huskies! Planning to spend Christmas in Dawson, Sergeant? Well, yes. I have my cabin here, and it seems more like home. Ah, this is going to be the best Christmas Mary and Sally and I have ever had. I'm glad to hear that, Jim. You've had some hard luck. But the best Christmas present of all is that I'm getting out of debt at last. Had a fine trapping season. I thought I'd never be able to pay back that money I borrowed from Crane. But I think I have enough furs to do it. Well, that is good news. Crane's a hard man. I borrowed money from him last year, and then I didn't find gold. I took the trapping in desperation, but it sure paid off. I've got enough fox skins of my cabin to pay that debt and have some left over. We'll have to have a real celebration this year. What's wrong with King? Pull! Pull, you Huskies! Listen, listen. Did you hear someone call? No! No! That's Mary. Come on, Sergeant. There, King. Come on, fella. Jim, look. Isn't that smoke by your cabin? It looks like it. We're coming, Mary. Take care of Sally, Mary. Come on, Sergeant. Jim, be careful. My furs, I've got to save them. They're all in there. Easy, Jim. We'll do what we can. The whole side of the cabin is burning. That's the side my furs are in. Jim, it's too late. It's going to cave in. Don't go in there. I've got to help them. Jim, come back here. Oh, stop it, Sergeant. It's too late, Mary. Come on, King. Oh, Sergeant, Jim's got to get trapped. Just inside cave then. I'll get him. Jim, where are you? Over here. Kevin, you've got him all over there. My leg. I'll get the dogs and slid. Good work, boy. I didn't see him. King came after me. He's quite badly hurt, Mary. You'd all better come over to my cabin. He's destroyed. I can't pay Crane. Jed Crane was the wealthiest man in Dawson. He sat alone in his office that evening, and a frown deepened the wrinkles between his cold blue eyes as he added a column of figures. Three, seven, twelve. Hermie, come here. Did I say you made it, Crane? What do you want, Jake? Just heard some news I thought might interest you. Yep. Jim Christie's cabin burned down this afternoon. In Christ? What happened to them first? All of them burned. Nothing left at all. He said he intended to give them to him. Therefore, the rotten luck I was sending after them tomorrow. You surely say in a trick maybe he hit them somewhere and started the cabin to fire himself. Oh, no, they was in there all right. Jim got hurt trying to get them out. Yeah. Well, I'll have to wait another year till he pays me what he owes me. I'll be sure of fooling to take a chance on him. It's kind of hard on his family, just before Christmas and all. They'll live through it. Boys was talking about taking up a collection for him. Well, don't come to me for anything. It's pleasant enough as far as I'm concerned not getting the money. This Christmas business is a lot of sentimental boss anyway. Well, it's just for the kid. Nobody cared about my Christmas when I was a kid. Just another day. Another day in a lousy orphanage. You mean you never got any presents? Presents! Yeah. Yet they did get a present once. Yeah? It was Christmas time. Little girl visited the orphanage with her poor mom. We thought they were looking for a kid to adopt. Where? Out of a clear sky, she came up to me and handed me a toy dog. She just came and said, Well, Merry Christmas. Well, you didn't say it. It was a fresh present I ever got. I cried over the thing in bed that night. Carried it around under my shirt for a week. And I waited. And hoped. Well, they didn't adopt a kid. My, my. They never came back. Then one day I threw the dog away. As far as I could throw it. And I always hated Christmas. You shucks. Well, you've made up for it since. Well, see it did. By being as hard on everybody as it was hard on me. It was the only way. Well, the boys was all talking about giving something for the kid's sake. Of course. Now, if they was all to give enough. See, each give a gold nugget. Yeah, they could start Jim up in business again. See, maybe they would be fools enough to. It might be worth a try. What are you talking about? I'll start the ball rolling. Enough nuggets to trim the tree around the top. I'll give the first nugget a big one. Besides my thumbnail. Of course, Crane.  I'll never give it a thought. He's a chance friend. If you belly who they sing right and Jim does get enough to pay me. I'll give you a 10%. Don't seem quite right somehow. Of course it's right.  It might take a year to pay off. Oh, it'll take more than that. He won't be able to work for a long time with one foot crush. Yeah, if you collect enough, he'll have something to live on, maybe. After he pays me. Tell everybody I thought of it. Enough nuggets to trim the Christmas tree. And I'm starting it by giving the biggest nugget of all. Hello, Sergeant. Hello, Sergeant. Hello, Sergeant. Well, Jim, we're up. I have good news for you. Good news? I can't tell you all about it. It's a surprise. But everything's going to be all right. What do you mean? If you weren't so blue about everything, I wouldn't even give you a hint. But there's a chance that you're going to have as fine a Christmas as you planned before the fire. What? I'll tell you this much. Jed Crane's a fine man, after all. I guess we were all wrong about him. Jed Crane? You mean Jed Crane is bothering about our Christmas? He wants you to have a better Christmas than you've ever had before. He's the bottom of everything. I'm just as surprised as you are. She does, she does. Sergeant Preston told me about the big surprise you planned for Daddy. Oh, he did. And I thought it would be nice if you'd be there when he got it. Christmas Eve. Well, hey, don't think I'm afraid of the busy. You mean you'll be trimming your tree or something? No, I don't believe in him. What? Didn't your plan... Let's not talk about it. But you'll believe in him if he come over and see mine. Oh, please come, Mr. Crane. Just Sergeant Preston and Daddy and Mom and I'll be there. Hey, I don't like Christmas Eve. Maybe that's cause you're... Well, you're all alone. Maybe if you could... All right, all right. I'll come with you. We're along now. I'm busy. The soft light of the candles on the Christmas tree was reflected in the nuggets that hung like drops of gold from its branches. Sally smiled as she looked at the happy face of her father and Mary and Sergeant Preston lived at his chair near the tree. Then she noticed Jed Crane off in the corner by himself. His wasn't a happy face. His eyes had almost a desperate look and Sally suddenly fell sorry for the old man. She left the others and went to him quietly. Mr. Crane. Yes? Could... could I sit on your knee? Well, sure. Isn't it a wonderful Christmas tree? It's a... yep, awful pretty. Doesn't it make you believe in Christmas? Just a little. I guess so, a little. You've been so good to us. Daddy's so happy again. No child, I ain't. Sergeant Preston said you started everything. Mama says my stockings will be full of presents in the morning. I bet that's a fine feeling to find this stocking full of presents in Christmas morning.  I... I don't know. Let's... let's not talk about it. Mr. Crane, I... I want to do something. I want to give you a Christmas present. Me? Oh, no, no. The trouble is everything we had was burned except... well, the only thing I have to give is frisky. You mean you want to give me your pup? He's... he's really a wonderful dog. I know you'll love him and... and maybe you'll let me come over and play with him once in a while. But he... Shelly, he... he's all you got. It isn't cause I don't love him. I do, but... but it's Christmas and you just got to have a present. Shelly... thank you, my dear. Merry Christmas, Mr. Crane. Shelly... Shelly, wait a minute. Don't go. I... I have a better idea. You know what? There's another present I'd rather have. Another present? I wish it... Well, maybe this sounds kind of funny, but I wish you'd kind of adopt me for a... for a sort of unclean... Adopt you? Why, that'd be wonderful. I haven't any uncles and... and you belong to our family. Yeah, but I'd belong?  You keep Frisky and bring him over to my house once in a while.  But, hey, is that... that story any different? He wasn't adopted. I just doubted Mr. Crane. He's... he's my uncle, James. What, certainly. Your Uncle, James? Fine, Sally. Well, welcome to the family, Uncle James. Jimmy, he and his house, that money you owe me is all in the family. We're going to forget all about it. Didn't I tell you, James, isn't this the best Christmas you ever had?  That's impressive. That's the first time that dog used ever wag his tail, babe. Well, he's just trying to see what we all want to see. Merry Christmas, Uncle James.

Christianity basically began as a religion separate from Judaism by redefining the concept of the Messiah. And one of the places we see this most strikingly is in the Christian scriptures in the book of Romans where Paul asserts in chapter 11 verse 26 that all of Israel is going to be saved. And he quotes from the Jewish scriptures, he quotes from the book of Isaiah, that the Deliverer will come out of Zion and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Paul here is basically trying to establish the concept of the Messiah and linking it to the Jewish Bible and he says that the Redeemer comes in order to remove ungodliness from Jacob. That the whole purpose of the Messiah coming is to deal with the human sin condition is to change the human being from a sinner into a saint and that is the job of the Messiah that he will remove ungodliness from Jacob. The problem is that in appealing to the book of Isaiah, Paul really is not quoting from Isaiah correctly. Isaiah actually says in the 59th chapter verse 20, the Redeemer will come to Zion and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob says the Lord. What Isaiah actually says is not that the Messiah comes to remove sin from the Jewish people. On the contrary, Isaiah says that the Messiah will come to those Jewish people who have already on their own turned away from sin. We see for example in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 30 that the redemption of the Jewish people, the messianic age only comes after national repentance, after the Jewish people as a people have turned away from sin and have turned back to God then the messianic age comes. And so the Jewish scriptures speak about the idea that human beings have the ability to turn away from their sin and to turn back to God. However, Paul does not accept this. Paul states in the book of Galatians on other places that we are not able to live righteously according to the Torah. And because Paul asserts that it's impossible for human beings to really turn away from their sin, therefore for him necessity is the mother invention. And since human beings cannot turn from their sin on their own ability, Paul's model this new definition of the Messiah is that the Messiah comes into this world in order to remove sin from us. The problem is that he tries to attribute this concept to the prophet Isaiah. And he's only able to do that by mangling the words of Isaiah and distorting what Isaiah actually says. This messianic concept that Paul tries to put forward is simply not based upon the Jewish scriptures.
