Hello. Hello. Can everyone hear me? All right. Welcome to our talk. The war never changes. Attack against, or attacks against WPA's new open standard. Enhanced open or, uh, yeah, open wireless encryption or opportunistic wireless encryption. So this is, um, this is Steve Derricott. He's the co-author, co-developer, co-parent of SNF Glue. Um, SNF Fair, sorry. Uh, he's an amateur botanist. Always wearing shades. And, yeah, I wrecked your bio, man. And this is Solstice. He made a crappy tool called E-Pammer. He wishes he could be a botanist and everything he learns comes from Google. All right. So onto the talk. So we're here to talk about, uh, some of the new technology that's coming out with open, uh, open technology on Wi-Fi networks. What we're currently familiar with, uh, is the standard that was released, you know, in 1999, literally 20 years ago, was when this technology came out. And, uh, obviously mass adopted by people, um, because it was the new hotness. But then, you know, this is, uh, this stayed around. This stayed around for a while. We can go to the next one. We started off with WEP and OPEN, with those two initial standards, 802.11a and 802.11b. And, uh, OPEN obviously seems less secure because, uh, WEP was wired equivalent privacy. So it was supposed to be encryption for the networks, um, because they knew that having an open network, anyone could passively receive those packets. So, uh, out of those two technologies, you know, OPEN is the only one that's still here today, not WEP. Um, and the reason for that, you can go ahead and go to the next one. Right? Why, why is that? Why is OPEN still around, even though it's 20 years old? Uh, WEP has been replaced. WPA2 is soon to be replaced with WPA3. Um, it's the battle we see every day in this industry of security versus convenience. If something is more convenient, people are going to be more willing to use it. If it's, they don't care if it's secure, they just want to get to Google and their, their Facebook and, and their Gmail, right? So, the fix actions, right? Um, who here uses Zoom for conferences? Uh, yeah, the web conferencing software Zoom. Remember there was a big issue with that and, uh, you know, if you use it on a MacBook and they weren't going to patch it. So Apple just took the nuclear option and patched it themselves, right? They released a patch for that over Zoom and just said, forget that. This is similar to what we saw on the internet. With OPEN encryption or with OPEN networks ubiquitous everywhere and people constantly using them, websites were aware of the vulnerability. So major vendors or major people, Google, Facebook, et cetera, started implementing HTTPS only to force people to use HTTPS. Right. So then we had that mass adoption of HTTPS everywhere. And that's similar to what we're seeing with OPEN wireless or the OWE and the new enhanced OPEN. Is that it's still going to be, um, like going to Google, right? There's no authentication. You don't have to log into Google to establish that initial HTTPS connection. It's just an encrypted handshake happens. Boom. The certificates are validated. You're there. Um, this is going to be the same thing, but for OPEN networks. So there will be an exchange between the access point and the client. And that will encrypt the traffic between the two. So still no authentication needed to connect to an access point, but you will have an encrypted session. Just like when you go to Google, no one can technically sniff your, um, packets because they're encrypted with HTTPS, but yeah. Right. So because of this, this led to downgrade attacks where, um, well, yeah, this is what forced Google and Facebook and all of them to enforce HTTPS only was the downgrade attacks that took place. So, um, many people here in the wireless CTF, or if you have ever messed around with wireless technology, you know, you can stand up people, twins, get people to connect to you. And then you're the network administrator at that point.  And that is why Google and other websites started forcing people to use HTTPS. But yeah, I'll hand it over to Gabe now. Yeah.  Okay. Can you hear me better? Okay. I guess I have to tilt this. Is it, is it shaky if I do this? Does this work better? Okay. Yeah. Um, yeah, I'll give you that one back. Okay. So this mic is a little better. Um, yeah. So, just rewind a little bit. Um, so I mean, we mentioned that, you know, 8 to 11 came out, you know, circa like 1999, right?  And, you know, by 2002, we actually had the earliest documented use of, of rogue AP attacks, evil twin attacks specifically to intercept traffic. Um, which was, which was like these mental attacks that, that Steve was talking about. Um, you know, these attacks in, in combination with, with other techniques that started to merge around that time period in the early 2000s, you know, such as ARP cash poisoning, et cetera. Uh, this, this led to the widespread adoption of HTTPS.  Um, and, and this effectively ended the, the, the passive in the golden age of passive sniffing. You know, nowadays it's really difficult just to sniff stuff offline and, and get anywhere with that. Um, it did put a dent in, in the effectiveness of evil twin attacks for a while. Uh, but it did resurface as a threat model in 2009 due to the discovery of the, the downgrade attack, as we mentioned, uh, by Moxie Marlin Spike. Um, you know, so essentially by doing this, uh, you essentially kind of act as, as, as a malicious proxy of sorts and you, and you are able to downgrade, uh, encrypted HTTP connections, so HTTPS connections to HTTP. Um, this was mitigated later on, so at this point you saw a resurgence of, of rogue AP attacks. This was, uh, mitigated later on by the introduction of HTTPS and cert pinning. Uh, so essentially on paper, uh, you know, this would have happened around 2012 although realistically, you know, widespread adoption of HTTPS didn't take off until much later, uh, just because it's, it's hard to roll out and it, it took some time to set up. Um, and you know, for, it was like that transition page, kind of like what we're seeing now with WPA3. So, you know, what is HTTPS? Well essentially the way HTTPS works is that the client, you know, when, when your web browser is going to request a resource from an HTTPS enabled web server, uh, this server is going to add a special header called an HTTPS header to the response. And you know, and this is actually down here, kind of what this looks like, that this header is going to tell the browser that it should always request content for the domain over HTTPS rather than HTTP. So, you know, if you attempt to use a downgrade attack, which at its core you're just, there's some redirection involved where you, where you redirect the, the victim's browser to the HTTP version of the site. Uh, the browser actually refused because it's been, you know, this domain has been added to a preload list essentially, or not preloaded but an HTTPS list, um, that says this domain can only be loaded over HTTPS. So you'll get a, a basically an internal, um, I believe it's a 309 redirect that the browser will issue to the HTTPS version of the site, um, and you won't be, and, and essentially the HTTP downgrade attack won't work. Um, so there, there were some, some bypasses that came out for HTTPS in 2014. Uh, one of the most notable ones is by Jose Selvy. Um, so essentially HTTPS headers, they have a max age parameter, uh, that dictates when the web browser should stop treating the header's origin domain as an HTTPS site, because, you know, imagine if you accidentally set something to a, as an HTTPS site and you could never ever undo it. Um, so, you know, essentially what, what, uh, Selvy figured out is that unless unauthenticated NTP packets are cryptographically signed, it's possible to tamper with them and you can essentially shift the victim's system clock forward past the max age set in the HTTPS, uh, header, and by doing that, um, you know, essentially you, you can, you can expire the HTTPS, um, entries in, in, in their list and you know, HTTPS is effectively bypassed at this point. But there's, you know, since his, uh, bypass technique came out there, you know, there are a lot of actual other ways that operating systems deal with, um, uh, kind of, kind of deal with the threat.  Um, the reason why I mentioned this though, you know, if we look at the current wireless security threat model, um, and, and just kind of examine how today's attackers use wireless attacks, um, you know, they're primarily used for gaining initial network access to weakly configured WPA and WPA2 networks. You know, either you will want to get attacks against EAP or, or you're, you know, finding ways to get PSKs from WPA PSK networks and crack them. Um, or they're used for stealing active directory credentials using GTTC downgrade attacks or hostile portal attacks. Um, or you see people using them, you know, for social engineering attacks using captive portals. You don't really see, um, you know, if you do see attacks against open networks, you know, they're really most effective, uh, because of this widespread use of HTTPS and also the widespread use of, of HSTS on the stuff that really matters and would be attractive to, to an attacker.   Well, you can replace that with your own JavaScript code, you know, that eventually their, their system. But, you know, really you don't see a lot of credential stealing attacks. Um, you know, because most high value targets are using HTTPS and cert pinning and defeating HTTPS is difficult the best. Uh, HTTPS is difficult the best. And defeating cert pinning without social engineering is virtually impossible. Um, and really doesn't make sense in light of other attack paths, you know, just, if you're going to go to that length, you might just use spearfishing or something. Um, as for passive sniffing, it, it is, it's, it's very rare. Um, and this is, this is kind of the reason why we bring up this background information. If we kind of go to, um, you know, look at OWE, right? Um, you want to go for this part? Or you want me to go, okay. So, so OWE, right? It, it, it kind of was introduced fairly recently. Um, and it's, it's being rolled out kind of as we speak.  Uh, but you don't need to authenticate.  OWE is supposed to work the same way with, uh, open networks.  Um, and when this happens, the client AP has a pairwise master key or PMK. Um, after that, the AP is going to initiate a four-way handshake, kind of similar to what WPA does, uh, but using that PMK, and you're going to generate a key encryption key, or Keck, and a bunch of other stuff. Uh, but at, at, at that point you do this four-way handshake and you end up with some encryption keys that are used to protect both unicast and broadcast data. Um, but basically it's an open network with crypto. Um, so, I mean, the way this works, right, and I'll, I'll, I'll load this up in Wireshark so you can get a better idea of what this is doing, but, you know, the way, the way that OWE works is the access point is going to advertise its, its support for this protocol using, um, an AKM suite selector. It's basically an RSN element that's added to all beacon frames that are getting sent out from the AP. Uh, the client's going to discover these OWE, it's going to discover that the AP is OWE compliant, uh, because it's a authentication process with it so to show you what I'm talking about because it's a little more clear if I do it this way. Well, at least pulling that up. Um, Gabe just talked about a lot of attacks that you can do against open networks, um, from injecting your own code and uh, all of these things and passive sniffing is not something that we commonly use on our wireless Pintas. It rarely generates anything worth benefiting from. So OWE is fixing a problem that we weren't even concerned about. I didn't know that. I rarely am sniffing passive data to begin with because everything is typically encrypted by major vendors such as Google and Facebook. So there's no reason for me to passively sniff open networks anyways. Alright, so I'm going to, right now I've just, I've just launched an OWE access point. I'm using virtual, um, wireless interfaces here. I'm just going to filter here for beacon frames. I hope you can actually see this. Um, alright so cool. I have a bunch of beacon frames here. And the SSID is open Wi-Fi, but it's not actually open Wi-Fi. This is a, if you look here, right, you scroll all the way down to the bottom. Actually, I'm going to minimize some of these tags here because they're, they're probably, I, I don't know why, um, you know, Wireshark by default just opens everything that you want to look at. Like it's not helpful, but uh, RSN. Okay, so tag, RSN information. Can everyone see this? Can anyone not see this in the back? It's probably really small. Um, but you know, feel free to ask us later if you want us to walk through this in person because I have a feeling it might be hard to see on the screen. But, okay, so there's this tag here, RSN information and you can see here that um, you know, this is coming from the AP to beacon frame. And we have this um, off-key management, AKM, and it'll actually tell you that it's using um, um, opportunistic wireless encryption and it'll also have the RSN so essentially everything you need to know about how this thing uses crypto basically. Um, let me go back to these slides. So, um, so an interesting thing, um, in case you're not aware, so um, a little background information, uh, so elements are actually, what you're seeing here in the Wireshark thing, right, these are what are known as elements, um, or information elements. And they're set between the client and the AP as request and responses. And they're used to facilitate protocol communication between wireless devices. Um, they're basically, elements are basically a form of time length, or type length value, uh, which, which means that they're, it's a data, the type, a TLV is a data type that's comprised of three parts. It's going to have an element ID, which is identifying the elements data type. Um, it's going to have a length, which is the elements length and the value, which is basically, you know, this field is entirely dependent on the elements data type, which is, um, so essentially what this lets you do is you can send something from the client to the AP and the client doesn't have to really know what data type is receiving. Um, I, I talked to a guy who's into reverse engineering later and this terrified him, but earlier, but essentially it'll first check at the, basically the TLV, the element is just a, a string of bytes and, you know, your, your wireless device is going to look at the first, uh, you know, the first bytes in it and it's going to use that to determine the data type, then it's going to grab the length from the next set of, set of bytes and then from there it's just going to know how, basically how large the next field of bits is. Herb bytes. Um, so, the reason why I mention this is that in 802.11, 8 association requests and responses are constructed entirely by appending elements to one another, so you just get a bunch of these TLVs and start appending them off, off each other. And in OWE, um, there's a Diffie helmin parameter element that's dependent to both association requests and responses and this is how the AP and the client, uh, give each other their public keys. Uh, so you know, essentially, uh, once you reach the association process, uh, the client is going to send an association request to the AP and it's going to have an element in, you know, kind of in the packet there that, that is, is going to contain its public key. The AP is then going to give, you know, respond with the association response and there's going to be an element, a Diffie helmin parameter element that's going to have the AP's public key and at this point they've exchanged keys and they proceed to the, the four-way handshake we talked about. Um, so just to, uh, so we have this, this OWE access point running right now and I'm going to get this thing to authenticate. Right. So on the left we're just using WPA sublacant where we're going to connect to this AP and I'm going to go back to Wireshark and at this point I'm just going to start sniffing packets again. Actually I might have to do this a second time, uh, because I missed it, kill that and then I'm going to start that's going to associate. And I'm going to change this to say that I don't want any beacon packets because there are a lot of them and they'll get in the way of what we're doing. Okay. So let me just figure out if I lose this thing here. Hey man, do you know how to like, what's up? Get this thing to come back down. Now, uh, oh I got it, never mind. Okay, cool. So here we have, um, I'm going to try to find that. I'm going to go back to the request, probe response. We've really talked about that. I'm going to scroll down until we see. Okay, here's the association request that we talked about that's coming from the AP or I'm sorry, from the client device. And if you look in here, we have this extended tag, uh, which is this element we were talking about and it contains the public key from the client device that's being set to the AP. And then you get a, you have an acknowledgement from the, from the access point and then below that you have an association response thing. Here we have these OWE Diffie helmet parameters and then that's going to get sent back to the, the client device there. So then the key exchange happens and we have this little four way handshake here and then you have basically encrypted open Wi-Fi, which is what happens after that. Right, and all this would happen invisibly to you. You, you, if you just open up your phone, looking at Wi-Fi networks, you would see an open network, you would connect to it. If your phone is capable of OWE, it would read that packet that, um, or the, those OWE packets that Gabe was just pointing out and then it would go through that process. If not, it would just connect to an open network normally. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I mean, so I guess the problem with OWE, right, I mean, it, it does some good things, right? It addresses the needs providing encryption for unauthenticated wireless connections, um, you know, and also makes use of protected management frames, uh, and, and makes them mandatory. We're going to go more into that a bit later. Um, unfortunately the, the thing that it does not provide a means of verifying the identity of the access point. We're not the first ones to point this out.   But you know, just want to do a little thought experiment here. A thought experiment here. Imagine if HTTPS did not provide a means of verifying the identity of the web server.  It, it would kind of negate, you know, the effectiveness of HTTPS, right? And that's kind of what OWE is like, you know. Good thing. It's hilarious. Um, so, do you want to, do you want to grab this part? No. Oh, yeah. So OWE doesn't address any real threat or attack in the, that you see in the wild today. It's only encrypting, you know, the traffic, which if I'm standing up my access point and you're connected to me, I'm a network admin at that point. I'm going to see your traffic regardless because I'm going to route it wherever I want. It doesn't matter if it's encrypted between your phone and my access point. Once it gets to my access point, I'm in control of the packets. Yeah.  Which, as we mentioned is kind of a fruitless exercise in the first place. Um, so, yeah.  And we thought it would be much more complicated than it actually was. Um, and it turned out it's actually not really that hard. Uh, you know, yeah. Right.  Um, but, the first technique is just to stand up an OWE evil twin, right?   So, which, I mean, we kind of demonstrated that works here. I mean, like, just to keep this simple, I'm just going to tell WPA Supplicant to start probing for stuff and this is pretty much exactly what would happen if, like, you were just wandering around somewhere and had your Wi-Fi on and someone stood up, and it would like, they essentially knew the network on your PNL and stood up their own access point, right? As expected, it would, it would connect. Um, yeah, I mean, that's, it's, it's, it's fairly straightforward. Right? That's a standard evil twin attack, nothing new there. It just has open, or OWE. It's really nothing novel, but that's the problem. Um, I just, yeah. But this is the more surprising part. Um, as it turns out, and we kind of just discovered this by accident, but, and this is probably like a, honestly an implementation issue, but, you know, for WPA Supplicant, for example, which is what you'll find on most Android phones, you know, well, check this out. Okay, so instead of, instead of using an open, an OWE access point, or I'm going to create an open access point. So, here I'm going to show you the config file we just, we just used to connect to that OWE access point. Right? And you can see, right, it's using key management OWE. This is, this is the OWE config file we're passing to WPA Supplicant. And then for, for ePammer, or whatever the tool you're using, trying to remain agnostic here, but, um, you know, what happens if we, if we spin up an open access point instead? I mean, this shouldn't work. But, like, these two things should not be able to communicate with one another. I mean, unless it's in transition mode, which it's not. Um, so, here we go. We've started, and oh, what's this screen? Okay, so we've now have this thing that is configured to use OWE, but is connected to this open access point, which, at least in this case at WPA Supplicant, it looks like you can execute rogue AP attacks against stuff that is expecting an OWE network using open Wi-Fi. So you don't even need the new, you know, retooled versions of all these rogue AP tools to do this. You can just use the same tools that you've been using for the past two decades as an open network, and in this case it, it works. So, yeah, that's kind of what we thought about this, too. Um, you want to talk about compatibility mode? Ah, I guess. What's, uh, what's it, through this slide? Okay, so compatibility mode or fast transition mode, I believe it's also called. Um, what happens is, within the beacon frames of an open network, uh, it will have within an information element a hidden SSID. So it'll be a BSSD, a MAC address associated to a hidden network that is doing OWE. So, invisibly to you, your device would connect to that network or receive that frame and notice, oh, hey, I need, if I'm OWE capable, I'm going to look at this hidden, uh, network and connect to that instead. So, um, yeah, that, it's when you're broadcasting frames like that, anyone can read that as well. So we got the idea of, well, why can't we just look at that packet and then spin up our own evil twin using that same BSSD that's in that same packet.  So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to set up OWE transition mode AP, right? And what's going to happen, oh, okay. Did I spell something wrong? Give me a second. Oh, open, okay, yeah, so that was typo on my part. So right here I'm, I'm creating a, uh, wouldn't have happened if I was using SNP there. So, um, essentially we're going to, we're going to launch this thing, we just created an OWE transition mode AP, which is kind of interesting because it's actually two APs. It's two BSSs being started off a single piece of hardware. Um, so if we go back to Wireshark really fast, uh, and this time we actually do want to look at beacon frames again, so I'm going to just kind of replace that. Um, you'll, you'll see two, uh, two SSIDs here. Uh, the first one is a wild card. So this is a hidden SSID that we're seeing. We don't really know what this is. And then we see this, this open, this open, uh, SSID. So, essentially what happens is, you know, the idea of the transition mode is that it's supposed to have a setup where, you know, no matter whether the device only supports open authentic, open, whether it supports OWE or not, it can still connect to this network. Um, so what'll happen is that the publicly visible SSID, right? It's, it's, it belongs to an open BSS. So an open, open network. Um, and then we see that here with this SSID, uh, that's visible. Um, and if an OP, if a device that only supports connecting to open network, it doesn't support OWE, attempts to connect to this thing, that'll be it. It'll, it'll, it'll just use the open network. However, um, an OWE, an OWE capable device, when it tries to connect, essentially it'll, it'll look through these fields and grab the SSID of the, um, of the hidden network that we see here. Right? In this case it says, you know, that SSID is open Wi-Fi. Um, but it's usually just a random string of characters. It will, it will grab that SSID and it'll send a pro request for that SSID and then reconnect to the wildcard one that we see here. Right? So just to kind of demonstrate that I'm actually going to have to edit this really fast. I guess the, the default here is for it to use spelled backwards, so there we go. Okay. So here we have a device that's going to attempt to connect using open explicitly. Right? And I can't type today. And you'll see here that it's connected to the public SSID, though, the one that's visible, right? Um, uh, Remapay or whatever this is. Right? And you know, all is expected. If we instead elect to use the, um, the config file that, that makes it look for an open, an open, um, sorry, the OWE access point, it will first connect to the open Wi-Fi which you should see in a second. Come on demo gods. That's a little weird. Okay, hang on a minute. It should be right. Oh, live demos, gotta love them. Yep. Yeah, I, I don't know. Well, good thing we have, all right, I'm going to try different config really fast. Okay. All right. I see what I did. I tried to specify the random SSID instead of the open one. Okay. Cool. So this should work. So, um, yeah, so you see here, it says try and authenticate with, uh, so despite the fact that we configured it to go for the visible, um, network, right? Uh, which was, which was this. Instead, shifts over and tries to go for this randomly visible one. So going back to Wireshark really fast, um, just to kind of uh, show you what we're doing. We replaced this with the public, SSID is now open Wi-Fi and the random one, the random hidden, uh, OWE, uh, SSID is this, this random string of characters there. It's not really random, I just mashed keyboards, the keyboard a bit to get it, but, um, so it's connected to the random one. So that's how that works. And I just did that. Uh, I think we just talked about this basically. Yeah, so this is just basically what we talked about, but, um, if your client doesn't do OWE, then it's just going to connect to the open network, but, uh, if it does support OWE, then it's going to look for that hidden network and then associate to that one instead. So, we tried a number of techniques to attack this kind of network. The first was just creating an OWE evil twin, you know, just, we figured just grab the RSN, or the grab the SSID from that, that information element. It turns out this doesn't actually work, uh, because the, the offline device, and actually that's, that's why the first demo failed, is because we essentially tried to do that. Um, you know, but if you just, if you just try to, you know, create an OWE evil twin using that, that random SSID, it's, it's going to fail. However, um, what does work is that you just do an OWE transition evil twin.  And the, um, the third technique that we figured out is you just use an OWE evil twin. And surprisingly, that works as well. Because remember what we, and, and, and once again, that is likely, uh, just a, um, implementation issue or something, because it really isn't defined that way in the RFCs, but, whoops, I locked myself out. Um, for example, if we just create an open network here, even if this device is expecting OWE, for some reason, it'll still connect to your open access point. Or at least it'll try to. There's some weirdness going on there. But, uh, there we go. Yeah, off failure. Well, anyways, it worked earlier. So, the one thing that I think actually OWE gets right is the use of PMF. I mean, yeah, uh, with, uh, management frame protection, you're, um, getting rid of de-auths. So, that's one of the most common attacks that we see today is knocking people off a network and then recording the transaction of when they connect right back to that access point. And that's one of the major features of WPA3 is that it's going to enforce all of that, uh, the protected management frames so that de-auths is going to be no longer a thing if you guys walk around at cons with your de-authors, you know, it won't matter anymore at that point. And this also relates to the rogue AP attacks, the issues that we were talking about earlier. You know, it's not always possible to, um, get something to connect to you, uh, to get a device to connect to your rogue AP, uh, simply by providing a superior signal. That's often actually harder, uh, than it looks. Um, and, and when that happens, you know, pretty much the go-to technique that, that people rely on is, is, you know, de-authending the target access point, of course, the, the connected client device is to roam somewhere else. Um, and you know, I think what it does get right is it, it does prevent you from doing that. Uh, because, you know, with management frame encryption, basically you, you have a, you encrypt all the management frames that are going between the client and the AP, so you can't just like inject the authentication packets and get it to work that way. Um, but, you know, the problem is that you could still just kind of go back and, um, uh, you know, if, if you're, if you're targeting a client that's like by itself, it's not connected to an AP, then this doesn't even bear any relevance, uh, because, um, yeah, you wouldn't have to de-auth at that point. Um, but just to kind of show you what I mean by that. So, you know, say I, I create this, this OWE access point, right? And then I connect this, this supplicant to it. Well, provided this can actually authenticate because it was having some weirdness earlier. But, well then. Okay, so, likely this is a driver issue. Um, I'm using virtual Wi-Fi drivers. So, what I'm going to do, so I'm just going to reload them really fast. Do RM mod Mac 8 of 2 to 11. That's why you don't do live demos, folks, but we decided to be, uh, a little bold about it. I'm going to set radios to 5. Alright, this should work now. Alright, yeah, so that worked. It was a driver issue. Um, let me just take a look at my Mac address that's really fast. Okay, cool. So, just to show you what we kind of mean by this, we do air replay. You don't look like the dash A or dash B. I can't remember. Air replay. Uh, just to specify the AP. Yeah, it's A. Okay. At Google. Alright, so I'm just going to specify the, the SSID of the, um, of the access point, which is just 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4. I believe it was 5, 5, if I remember correctly. No, it was 0, 0. And we're going to specify the, uh, the Mac address, the client device, which in this case was, what was it? Hey, what was this thing right here? Okay, cool. Oh, we got to give it an interface. Yeah. I'm going to do that really fast. So I'm just going to put my third Wi-Fi interface into the monitor mode really fast and bring it back up. And, alright, so we're literally just spamming this thing with the authentication packets right now.  Um, so you can see that those d-auth attacks don't work anymore. Um, one interesting thing to think about though is, is this. You know, if we're pushing out protocols in which, um, you know, protected management frames are required, right? Then that's inevitably going to lead to more devices, uh, supporting the use of protected management frames.  Um, but something to think about, right? You know, the way a lot of like IDS systems or wireless intrusion protection systems work, um, you know, to contain these kinds of attacks that we're showing you, uh, essentially if they see a rogue AP and they see one of their own devices connecting to it, they'll start d-authing it. Well, now you're going to have a situation where you're going to have widespread use of, uh, uh, support for PMF and on top of that, you know, if you're an attacker, you can make use of that as well. So if you actually successfully execute an attack and get one of these devices to connect to you, um, and you're using PMF yourself, uh, regardless of whether you're not using OWE, then you've kind of made yourself immune from, you know, what is essentially the standard containment method for the WIP's, uh, devices today. So that's going to be interesting to see how that plays out, um, in terms of how people design those things. Um, any questions? If you have any questions, we're team WhatTheFreak over in the wireless CTF. If you want to come hang out, ask us stuff over there. We'll be over there. Thanks.


She's got a clear strategy which is urgent. Call his name. Anybody I would suspect who is engaged in a crime in some way would try and put a barrier in the way of this. Like, here's why that won't work or we've tried that. Somebody who's involved in a crime does not want the evidence to be found and will consciously or unconsciously put barriers in the way there.  He'll answer and if he doesn't answer, he'll at least, he'll look. If there's any change in baseline, that's one of our biggest changes in baseline as she kind of takes on that spirit of the son and performs how he would perform in that situation. If she knew that he's not alive, she wouldn't be doing that. You wouldn't perform in that way. That's her taking on that live son in her mind.


one thing that sells super good on Mercari. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. It's for online, little pony. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. All right, in this video, we are gonna talk about items that I sold on Mercari. And I have not done a Mercari video for a little while. And I apologize, I have just been so behind and trying to catch up here. So I've got quite a few coming your way, but I couldn't put them all in one video. So there's gonna be two separate videos coming soon. So I'm gonna tell you about items that I sold on Mercari. Most of these are going to be hard good items. I'm gonna tell you where I got it, what I paid for it and what it sold for. If you guys are not selling on Mercari, you should be. I love it. So I start my items on eBay and I cross post to Mercari in Poshmark. I use this perfectly. If you wanna learn about cross posting, I do have a demo video down in the description. I'm not gonna go into that right now, but basically I cross post my items and that gets more eyes on my items on different platforms. Highly recommend it. Check out that video in the description.  Now, Mercari sales. One thing that sells super good on Mercari is something I love to sell. Any guesses in the comments? I mean, come on, take a shot. Toys. I do really well with toys. So if you sell toys, definitely check out Mercari. I also have a link down below. I can't talk right now. I do have a link down below to join Mercari. If you join with that link, you're gonna get $10 to shop.  And that is a referral code.  So I appreciate it if you guys use that. All right, let's get started with these BOLO items. Now these range from bread and butter to big money. A lot of times I'm good with selling bread and butter. So bread and butter are items that I sell for $35 or less. I'm gonna do my best to tell you guys where I got it and what I paid for it. But on Mercari, I don't have the custom SKU like I do with eBay to remind me. So some of these may be like, I don't remember where I got it. Like this one, I have no clue where I got it. I know that this was listed for a while. And I had it cross posted across all three platforms and it sold faster on Mercari. Now, as far as relisting your items, yes, that definitely helps. It's just like eBay, if you like refresh. If you list into the list perfectly catalog, it is much easier to relist. And then it keeps everything connected. I don't use the catalog, so I manually delist all of my items. But if you use the catalog, you can go in and delist and it'll pull the items up for you. Again, that's all explained in that video. So let's start with the first item. It's this Matchbox Brady Bunch station wagon. Sold it for $15 free shipping. I do free shipping on Mercari. That is the only platform I do free shipping on. And that's because I feel like the shipping rates are a little bit high. And I feel like I can sell it or ship it cheaper. So I would rather just ship it on my own. And what I do is I just increase the price of the item and keep that in mind that when I'm getting an offer that I'm gonna be paying the shipping. So this sold for $15 and free shipping on that. This was probably, who knows, I think I got it at a garage sale and usually things like this, I pick up pretty cheap for like a buck or less. This took forever to sell. Oh my goodness. I did relist it and I relisted it on 831 of 22. And it took about a month to sell, little less than a month. But oh my goodness, I've had this thing forever. And you can see this is before I was using PhotoRoom and it's sitting on, it's actually a concrete bench that I have. And I ended up selling this for $23 with free shipping. And I was just happy to see it go. This right here is a mixed lot of Halloween props. These came out of a thrift store mystery box. And they were just kind of a hodgepodge of things that I have leftover, wait a minute, I think I'm wrong. I think these came from a garage sale. I lied, it wasn't a mystery box. It was a garage sale, I remember now, because I bought out all of the Halloween stuff. And these were kind of like the miscellaneous items that I really didn't wanna list separately. And I thought this was gonna be a home run. It was gonna sell super fast. And again, it was a very, very long tail item. I probably would have been better off putting like the skeletons together, putting the bats together, the spiders, doing more, something like that. I finally sold this for $25 plus shipping. So if an item is heavier or bigger and I won't do free shipping on McCurry, I will use their shipping because it's hard for me to guess how much it's gonna cost to ship for those bigger items. And if the person lives across the country, it's gonna cost me way more. So I will use McCurry shipping in cases like that. So they did pay the shipping and it was $25. So this is a Monster High doll.  Can you sell me that doll? And normally I'm like, no, I'm not gonna separate. But I had so many people ask me to separate the Monster High dolls that I just went ahead and did it. And I will tell you, as soon as I separated them and sold them as singles, they started selling much quicker and they sell really good on McCurry. I sold this girl with the crazy hair for $18 free shipping. And I picked her up in a lot of Monster High dolls. This one came out of a thrift store mystery box and a wow back. It's been quite a while ago. I've had this listed for quite a while, but I bought all of these dolls and I'm pretty sure it was a thrift store mystery box. And a lot of them had like marker all over them and they were a complete mess. These were the nicer ones, but would you believe it? If I told you that the ones that were like all scribbled on and had marker and were TLC sold faster than the ones that were in good condition. Now I did have them priced cheaper, but oh my goodness, I can't even believe they sold, but these sold for $42 free shipping. If any of you guys remember the video I put out with all of the dolls that had the marker on them, let me know in the comments, that means you've been here a while. This dress, this is not a hard good, but I have been selling this dress for two or three years now. I probably picked up over a hundred of them between size small and large. And the funny thing is, I was selling them for like $19 and $20 because I had over a hundred. They were from a discount store and I purchased them, I think they were $9.99 with 90% off. So I got them for a dollar each. Now, when I went to this discount store, I would buy in bulk. So what I would do is I would take everything to the register, I would look at my total number of items and I would divide out my total by the number of items. So I always estimate that I spent about $3 per item if that makes sense. But in all reality, I have a buck in this. If we're being completely like, what did I pay for this item? So, as I have continued to sell these, I have increased the price because I hardly have any left. I just sold one on Poshmark for $50 plus shipping. This one sold for $36 free shipping and they sell for even less on eBay. So this is another reason why you should be cross posting your items because different platforms are willing to pay different prices for different items. The people that sell on Mercari and the people that sell on Poshmark, their money goes into a spot and it is held until they ask for it to be sent to their bank account. While it's in that pending phase, they can shop with it. And a lot of times people on these platforms are just selling to buy, if you know what I'm saying. So they're not looking at eBay. They're not looking at any other platform other than the platform that they're selling on. So by cross posting, you're getting more eyes on your item. So this dress sold for 36 on Mercari free shipping and just sold on Poshmark literally this week for $50 plus shipping. So again, that's why I cross post. And I don't have very many of these left. And another great thing, Mercari and Poshmark, no returns. eBay returns. So this dress, you can't really tell, but it has cutouts and I do get returns on it. I actually have two coming back right now. They ordered a size small and a size medium in this dress and they're returning both of them. And I'm kind of happy about it because I took less on eBay for the items and I will just list them higher on these other platforms. I may not even put them back on eBay to be honest. These right here, I had listed individually. I picked these up, I believe at a garage sale for like a buck a piece. And somebody asked me if I would bundle for $25 and I added the shipping on to that one because I was bundling. So $25 for these two watches. This is a Sarah Coventry chain necklace. If I remember correctly, this came out of a Dibble box that I purchased from Donatello Bottolino. That is a YouTube channel that I shop on and it was a bulk jewelry lot. I sold this for $15 free shipping. It's a Sarah Coventry chain necklace. These are vintage Congress playing cards, sell you tone. And I sold these for $25 with free shipping. There is no way I don't think that I would have got $25 on eBay for these but I got $25 free shipping. I don't even remember where I got these but can you believe it? $25 free shipping for those cards. Sometimes I may as myself. Okay, these were all items from a discount store. So again, I go with the whole around $3 per item but I believe this dress was about a buck and I think I paid $2 or $3 a piece for the brawl. So I'm guessing I was about $5 all in for these. Somebody asked me to bundle for $55. Of course I did that free shipping and five bucks into $55. These are seamless leggings. This is another thing that I bought probably 50 pair of and the store that I'm buying these at is called Discount Fashion Warehouse. They are not everywhere but there's a lot of them in Ohio. So if you live in Ohio, definitely look it up. They used to have a color code system that they did which was really great. They don't have that anymore. At least they didn't the last time I went. So I don't know if the deals are still as good but I think I paid a buck for these and I sold these for $17 with free shipping and I have a bunch more listed but I don't think I re-listed this on Mercari so they're on eBay and Poshmark. This came from a garage sale if I remember correctly. It was in a shoebox. I think this was the lot but I went to a garage sale and there was a shoebox full of vintage jewelry. I don't remember what I paid for it but it wasn't much. So this is a necklace and clip-on earring set unbranded. Nothing signed. I sold this for $19 free shipping and it did take a little while to sell. This is a Bat Sentry Whiz Kids Hero Clicks DC Comics toy figure. This came out of a mystery toy box that I purchased from Donna Telebotilino's YouTube channel. I sold this one figure for $14 free shipping. These right here came from the Goodwill Benz. I'm thinking this was that. I purchased a Crafter's Lot and when I say that it was in a plastic tote and I didn't look in it and I bought the whole tote which was kind of dumb because you pay by weight but I kind of wanted to unbox it on my YouTube channel so that's what I did. So I paid a little more for that entertainment and these sold for $19 free shipping. They are vintage five chenille pipe cleaner Easter eggs not Easter eggs, Easter chicks. They're for crafting. This is a Coach embossed blue leather luggage tag. This also came out of a Dibble box that I bought from Donna Telebotilino. It was actually an auction style Dibble box that she was doing and she was showing the items and there were some items in this box that I wanted for my husband and I went ahead and bought the box, gave him the items. We actually did the unboxing together and I ended up selling all of the Coach items and made most of my money back on just like five or six items. So if you wanna see that entire unboxing I'll try to remember to link it down below but this sold for $21 free shipping. This here is a lot of costume jewelry vintage to now. I picked this up, I believe at a garage sale or an estate sale and I just kind of pieced it together and included it in the box. Sold this for $85 free shipping. This is a Lego Friends Emma's tourist kiosk retired set, new in box and the box is damaged. I do not recall where I got this. I think it was a garage sale. I remember going to a garage sale over the summer and getting a bunch of these. So I probably had $5 or less in this and I sold this for $28 with free shipping and it's a retired set. So while it only has 98 pieces it's still sold for $28. These are more of a long tail item. I don't know if I would recommend picking them up. They take a while to sell but if you can get them cheap vintage hallmark keepsake springtime Barbie ornament collector series. I picked these up at a garage sale. I wanna say I paid 50 cents each or a dollar each and I sold these for $23 free shipping. This is a little adorable which I don't usually use words like adorable but I didn't have very many keywords for this. It's a beaded cat coin purse and I sold this for $23 free shipping and I think I got this at a garage sale. That one I've had a while so I'm not sure that was very long tail also. These Paul Patrol plush just whenever I find plush especially small ones. Sometimes I will lot them up in small lots like this. I was trying a different background but not really digging it. I'd rather use photo room. If you're interested in checking out photo room it's gonna make your background white. I think it looks more professional but different opinions on that. If you are interested in getting photo room I do have a 10% off link down below. It's a referral link. You can use that for your annual subscription you'll get 10% off. So you can check that out down below if that interests you. $17 free shipping for these. Now this is a Bolo vintage 1986 Hallmark Rodney Ronda Randy Ramona Reindeer plush lot of four and I am sorry I don't remember where I got these but I probably had $5 or less in all of them. I can't remember if this was the Goodwill Benz or a garage sale but these are great. I sold these for $90 free shipping. The next item is this Disney Just Play Mickey Mouse plush and not sure where I got it but I sold it for $10 free shipping. So just a bread and butter there. Not making much by the time I ship it. Here's another one of those dresses. I sold this one for 38 with free shipping and this is a huge lot of children's DVDs. I had these all listed separately and I thought about like selling them individually and then I just said, I'm just gonna fill a box and I'm gonna list these individually and somebody reached out to me and they said, I want them all will you take $300? And I'm like, yes. And now that I'm on what not, I'm kind of thinking what was I doing? I probably could have sold these for more on what not but that's okay. That's probably what this person did. We're probably buying them to resell. My Goodwill Benz DVDs are 59 cents a pound. It used to be the full price but they changed it. So 59 cents a pound. I mean, what five or six of these probably, I don't know how many would be to weigh a pound but not many. So I can get them really, really cheap. So I don't remember how many are here but it was four eBay boxes or six eBay boxes full for 300. This one right here, I talked about this before is a vintage Ohio State Buckeyes hat that my husband picked up at a flea market. I don't know what he paid for it but he sold it for $124 with free shipping. And I have mentioned to him to look for vintage hats, trucker hats specifically and he found this one and it was a big money Bolo. This next item is a Disney store frozen on a plush doll with her winter cap. I got her at a garage sale for $4 and I sold her for $20 free shipping. I will pay up a little more for the Disney store. Some of them can go for bigger money but I knew they typically sell quick. Now this one, oh my goodness. This came out of I believe a mystery box from a thrift store. Oh goodness, I think. And I couldn't find another one like it. So of course I just priced it high because that's what I do. It kind of reminds you of Jim Shore but it's not. It's Hobby Lobby. It's a retired set from 2012 and I sold this for $134 free shipping. This next item is a lounge fly Disney Kingdom Hearts mini backpack. And I sold this for $90 free shipping and I got a little story with this. I sold it on eBay. I wanna say in the $40 range and I forgot, I didn't forget, I just didn't do it. I didn't take it off of Mercari and Poshmark right away which was really dumb. I usually do it like immediately and for some reason I was distracted and it sold on Mercari. So I had it sold on eBay and it sold on Mercari. I have one of these. I'm thinking what am I gonna do? So the person on eBay had low feedback and they did not pay. I mean, I got so lucky on this one and I only sold it for like 40 something on eBay and here it is on Mercari for 90 free shipping. So of course I want the 90 free shipping that makes way more sense. I'm gonna make way more money but I had to wait for it to time out which means my shipping was kind of late on this one and I was in limbo for three or four days. I think it was four days cause that's what it takes to time out and I was really nervous about it you guys. It made me really uncomfortable because I didn't wanna cancel an order on either end. So I would say that I got very lucky. The person on eBay did not pay and I sold this on Mercari for $90 free shipping. So moral of this story is if you cross post your items, when an item sells take it off the other platforms immediately not that night, not tomorrow, not in two days immediately. Okay, that'll keep you from getting into having to cancel an order. So again, I just got very lucky. This next item I got, oh and this came from a garage sale. I think I paid four bucks for it. This is Masha and the bear replacement doll figure. I had no idea what this was. This was from my hashtag Ben's bingo challenge and I got this at the Goodwill Ben's. So I got like, I don't know, quarter, 50 cents in this. This doll sold for $21 free shipping. So all of these items sold faster on Mercari. This also came from the Goodwill Ben's. It is a Build-A-Bear Autism Speaks Awareness Bear. It's got the puzzle. It's a stuffed animal and I sold this for $22 free shipping and it sold very quickly. This is a La La Lopsie Rosie Bumps and Bruises nurse full size with blue hair toy. I got her at the Goodwill Ben's. She is a little bit heavier. So I probably had about $3 in her and she sold for $25 free shipping. This item here, it's so funny because I have had these Santas listed for over a year.  They're ready to paint Santas. I'm like, everybody's gonna want these. No, nobody wanted them until after Christmas this year. It's like December of this year, I started selling all of these ready to paint items. So I guess this is probably now the time because people are buying them to start painting to get ready for next year. Makes total sense, right? So I sold this for $30 free shipping. This came out of a thrift store mystery box. Here's another one sold for $28 free shipping. Same thing, thrift store mystery box. This is a key pie or a coup pie. I forget how to say it, doll. It's snow white. This took forever to sell. Again, it's so old that I had it on my bench. This was like that other one. So I didn't white out the background and I ended up selling this for $19 free shipping and I paid $5 or less for it at a garage sale. This is a Shrek 2 DVD. It is new. It's sealed and it sold for $16 free shipping. I don't remember where I got it. Calico critters, maybe it was either a garage sale or maybe the bins, I don't know. I pick them up if I can get them cheap. Calico critters, families, hedgehog family.  These came from an estate sale. I got a whole baggy full. So I've got like maybe 50 cents in all of these. Sold it for $41 free shipping. This guy is another one that was listed for a super, super, super long time. And again, I should have whited out the background because that looks horrible, but it sold. It is a Disney Pixar inside out Tommy the Elephant and it actually, you push the stomach and he talks. I sold him for $18 free shipping. It had been listed so long that I forgot that it talked. That's how long it's been listed, but it sold. So I'm happy about that. This one sold fast. These are Blaze and the Monster Machine slam and go monster trucks. And it's Blaze, Crusher and Stripes. That's the name of the cars.  And I sold these for $49 free shipping. And if I remember correctly, I got those from the Goodwill Bins. This is a Saturday Night Live book. It's from 2015. It is a hardcover book. I picked this up at a thrift store and at this thrift store, they put things outside in boxes for people to take that don't sell in the store because it's a very small store and they're not open very often and they need to just get rid of stuff. So what they do is they put it outside for free. And before you go into the thrift store, you can look through these boxes. So anytime I get anything out of those boxes, I always give them extra money and actually pay for the item. So I don't know exactly what I paid extra that day, but I ended up selling this for $43 with free shipping. These are the Vintage Flocked Easter Spring floral picks, they're bunny rabbits. I don't remember where I got these either, but I sold these for $36 with free shipping. I know wherever I got them, I didn't pay much for them, probably a garage sale. This is a plastic nativity, it's vintage. And again, I think this came out of a thrift store mystery box and I sold this for $20 free shipping. The next item here is another Bolo. If you ever find the Scooby-Doo Friends and Fos action set, these action figures are definitely a Bolo. You can sell them individually or you can sell them as a lot. I sold these for $75 free shipping and I think I got these at a garage sale and I wanna say I paid $10 for them. This is a Catherine's Kimono swim coverup. I actually ordered this retail arbitrage off of the Catherine's website. So what I do is what I used to do, certain websites, I would go onto those websites and I would find coupons and I would go to their clearance items and I would bundle things up and use a coupon and get things at a discounted price. So I probably had five or six bucks in this.  But I ended up selling this for $18 plus shipping and I bought a whole bunch of these. So I think I still have some listed, a super cute item but I bought a bunch and I'm just selling them. It's like a multi-quantity item which if you do clothing and you can find things that are new in the original packaging and just sell them over and over again, create one listing, that is great. Here's another one where I did not use photo room and it would have looked way better if I did. It's a mixed lot of Dora Boots Diego figures and I sold these for $15 free shipping and I pick up mystery toy boxes and anytime I go to a garage sale, I will like bundle all of the toys and be like, can you give me one price? So I'm not really sure what I have in these, probably a dollar or less. All right, you guys, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching. Those were my Mercari Bolo. Some of them were big money, some of them were bread and butter but these are items that you can flip for a profit and most of them I found really cheap. So thank you for being here. Let me know if you sell on Mercari, if you've ever considered it, if maybe it's your only platform, if you've considered maybe branching out to Poshmark or eBay. So let me know down there in the comments and thanks for watching.


Good day everybody. I'm Dr. Sanjay Sanyal, Prof. in Department Chair. Welcome to a dissection of the rotator cuff muscles in the syndrome. Just to bring you up to speed, this was an earlier dissection. This was a trapezius muscle. This is the latsomus dorsi and we have cut it open and these are the structures which are under the trapezius muscle which we have already described. What I have done now is I have cleaned up the face here to show a few other structures. Let's take a quick look. This is the triangle of auscultation that we have been mentioning now. It's much more clearly visible. The triangle of auscultation provides a muscle free area for auscultation of the posterior lobe of the lung. And it is bounded by the superior border of the latsomus dorsi, the lateral border of the trapezius and the medial border of the scapula partly covered by the rhomboids major. So this is the so-called triangle of auscultation. This is the spine of the scapula. So above the spinal scapula, this is the supraspinatus fossa and you can see a muscle here. This is the supraspinatus. This is one of the rotator cuff muscles. Perhaps the most important rotator cuff muscle. And the tendon where my finger is disappearing, the tendon of the supraspinatus goes like this and it gets inserted onto the greater tubercle of the humerus. Under the spinal scapula, this muscle that you see here is the infraspinatus. And arising from the medial border or the lateral border of the scapula, we have the teres minor and then we have the teres major. So supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor, these three together and of course the subscapularis which is in front, we cannot see, they together constitute the rotator cuff muscles. And this is the teres major which we have seen. It gets inserted onto the medial lip of the intertubercular sulcus. And incidentally, before I proceed further, the teres major and the latsomus dorsi which has been split open here, these two together constitute the posterior wall of the axilla as well as the posterior fold of the axilla and you can see it clearly here. Additionally, we can see, I have exposed and dissected out the part of the deltoid muscle and you can see it's a powerful muscle. It's got multiple, multi-pinate fibers. These are the posterior fibers. They are arising from the spinal scapula and these are the central fibers arising from the acromion process. So posterior fibers are the one which move the hand backwards and they also act as gyrobes and the central fibers are the one which are responsible for abduction of the anterior fibers, of course, we cannot see. Let me now retract this to show you these structures here. This is part of the axillary nerve which runs on the deep surface and supplies the deltoid. And it is accompanied by the posterior circumflex humeral artery which we have already seen. So this is all for today's dissection. Thank you very much for watching. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Sanjay Sanyal signing out. Have a nice day. Don't forget to subscribe, click the like button and leave your comments in the comment section.


Representative Steny Hoyer is basically one of the worst, if not the worst, when it comes to right-wing corporate Democrats. And what makes matters worse is that he's actually in line to be the next House Speaker. So he's in Democratic Party leadership and he is incredibly right-wing. But on top of that, he decided to do what leadership in the Democratic Party theoretically shouldn't do and take some swipes at newly elected freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. And what he ended up doing here was proving Ilhan Omar right. So as Jake Johnson of Common Dreams reports, Representative Steny Hoyer, the number two Democrat in the House, came under fire from progressives Sunday night after he used his address at APAC's policy conference to attack left-wing members of his caucus and throw his full support behind a resolution condemning the boycott divestment and sanctions movement. I stand with Israel, proudly and unapologetically, said the Democrat from Maryland, whose remarks were immediately interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on Representative Ilhan Omar. So when somebody accuses American supporters of Israel of dual loyalty, I say, accuse me. I am part of a large bipartisan coalition in Congress supporting Israel. I tell Israel's detractors, accuse us. There are 62 freshman Democrats, not three. Hoyer added in an apparent swipe at representatives Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar. So let's just take a moment to go back to what Ilhan Omar initially said, that everyone deemed as anti-Semitic. She basically asked if we're allowed to call out the monetary influence of gigantic lobbying groups and special interests like the NRA. Why can I not talk about the influence and lobbying power that APAC has? And he just proved how much influence APAC has by calling her out at their conference. So I think that the irony is probably lost on him. And I know that he thinks he's making a solid point, but all he's doing is proving Ilhan Omar right, because as he pledges unequivocal loyalty to Israel, it's obvious that his views were probably influenced by the pro-Israel lobby, which he took more than a million dollars from throughout the course of his career. So why is it reasonable for us to say it's pretty apparent that the NRA influences the Republican Party's position when it comes to gun reform, but we're not allowed to say that American lawmakers' stance on Israel is likely influenced by a very powerful lobby. Why is that not allowed? Because money and politics influences the positions of lawmakers. That's not me saying this. Because you can look to probably one of the most cited studies in recent years by Gilan's and Page of Princeton University, where they found that when you juxtapose our interests, interests of normal Americans with the interests of elites and special interests, well, they have an impact on policy outcomes, whereas we do not have an impact on policy outcomes. Our impact is statistically insignificant, which tells us that money, in fact, does have a gigantic influence on policy outcomes. And taking it a step further, if you go to Dara Strolovich, who wrote the book Affirmative Advocacy, what she revealed was that these interest groups are often driven by elites. And the reason why elites are driving these interest groups and shape the interests of the overall interest group is because they're funding these interest groups. So it's not controversial at all to say that we need to be looking at the impact the pro-Israel lobby has on lawmakers.  And to give you another example as to how that influences Steny Hoyer specifically, he took 2.1 million from health professionals, 1 million from the pharmaceutical industry, and coincidentally, he doesn't support Medicare for All. I think we're reasonable to deduce that those campaign contributions, which pose a direct conflict of interest, has something to do with the political position that he's taking, because he knows if he endorses Medicare for All, those health industry donors that he has will be less likely to support him. In fact, they may support a potential opponent. But now that we're taking the time here to shine a light on just how bad Steny Hoyer is, I think it's worth noting that he's also terrible basically all around. He supported the Iraq War. He supported the Patriot Act. He has basically been against ending the drug war. And if he were just one lone lawmaker who was very conservative, that wouldn't necessarily be a problem. But again, he is in line to become the next House Speaker, which would be horrible for trying to push the Overton window to the left and get the Democratic Party to be more progressive. So I've maintained before that we've got to oust Steny Hoyer before he even gets there. And thankfully, I have some very good news. We have a chance to do that because Steny Hoyer is being primaried by a progressive named Makayla Wilkes. And unlike Steny Hoyer, she actually does support progressive policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. And if you go to her website, she already has a preliminary policy platform that's more fleshed out than a lot of presidential candidates. So if you support her, then I would strongly encourage you to send her a donation. Go to Makayla2020.com to do so and show her your support at Meet Makayla on Twitter. And be sure to do what you can to get involved, because if she's actually going to be successful at Joe Crowley and Steny Hoyer, which would be amazing, it's going to be the fight of our lives. This will be harder than Joe Crowley. So it's difficult to oust incumbent Democrats, but it is especially difficult to oust individuals in Democratic leadership. It's one of the most powerful individuals which really makes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's DeVito Joe Crowley that much more remarkable when you think back about it, because it was so unlikely and it seemed impossible almost. So if we want Makayla to have a shot, this has to be an all-hands-on-deck approach. We've got to make sure that she has our full support, because she is someone who chose to be bold and to step up and challenge the establishment at its time when the DCCC is trying to blacklist consulting firms in order to discourage individuals from jumping in and primaring incumbent Democrats. So what she's doing here is bold and most importantly, it's brave. So please show her your support, send her a contribution, follow her on Twitter and tell her that Mike from the Humanist Report sent you, because I definitely am interested in bringing her on the show. This is what needs to happen. And she's sending a message to Steny Hoyer that just because you're in leadership, it doesn't mean that you're untouchable and it doesn't mean that you can attack the left from the right when you're supposed to be a leader in the Democratic Party. So I am 100% behind Makayla's campaign and I really hope that she can give Steny Hoyer a run for his money, but mark my words, this is not going to be the last that you hear about Makayla. She's our shot to stop Steny Hoyer from ever becoming House Speaker, which is important because, believe it or not, he's to the right of Nancy Pelosi, if you can imagine. He's basically one of the worst and we've got to stop him at all costs from rising to the top of the ranks in Democratic leadership and you can do that by helping his opponent, Makayla Wilkes. There's a Patriot, if that was my podcast, said.


Remember, a hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. Hallmark greeting card bring you Edmund Gwent in Helen Ashton's Dr. Sarah Cole on the Hallmark Playhouse. Mark will bring you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors. They distinguish novelist Mr. James Hilton. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse, we present a story which has always had a place on the rather small shelf of books which I reread every now and then and never tire of. It is Dr. Sarah Cole by a very fine English writer Helen Ashton. Doctors often make good heroes in novels. They are dedicated men, and their work takes them close to the bare bones of human experience. Dr. Sarah Cole is, I should say, one of the most memorable doctors in fiction, and this story of one day in his life has a warmth and a humanity which demands, which demands much from the actor portraying it. We are lucky, therefore, to have in the part of Dr. Sarah Cole tonight an actor whose success on both stage and screen has endeared him to millions, Mr. Edmund Gwent. And now a word from Frank Goss before we begin the first act of Dr. Sarah Cole. At Christmas, as on every memorable occasion, you'll take special pride in sending hallmark cards because just as for hundreds of years the word hallmark has been the distinguishing symbol of quality throughout the English-speaking world, the hallmark on the back of your greeting cards is your assurance of finest quality and perfect taste. It's a symbol of quality all will quickly recognize and realize you cared enough to send the very best. Now hallmark playhouse presenting Helen Ashton's Dr. Sarah Cole starring Edmund Gwent. A long past midnight, but Dr. Sarah Cole still sat over his day book making the entrance. Let me see now. The day began at 2.30 a.m. Yes, began at 2.30 a.m. and ended at 11.45 p.m. A lot of things happened in between. A lot of things do happen in a doctor's day. Mrs. Purvis pounded on the door 2.30 this morning when the call came. Dr. Sarah Cole, you're running over at Dr. Gwent's house at once. A chill of October was in the air as I hurried down the street and the chill of my October years quickened my breath and slowed my footsteps. 2.30 in the morning was early and my years were late. I sat by Dr. Gwent's bedside. We had worked side by side in the village for over 40 years. Luke, Luke, take good care of everyone. When I left his house, a light fog from the river missed the village. The moisture dripped from the trees and from the eaves of the houses as though already they wept for him. Behind the darkened windows, the people he had left in my trust slipped. And I found myself thinking, he's left you to me. And I don't know how long I have to live. I wouldn't know until the letter arrived from that London specialist telling me whether or not I had the fatal disease doctor and patient alike feared above all others. It had been a week since I'd gone to London for the examination. The letter should come today. Well, the postman was starting his rounds as I came up the walk. It was 7 o'clock. No letter. No? Well, it was still the evening mail. By 8 o'clock, I was away on my... To the office. I was a few minutes late getting in and my nurse was already at her desk. Good morning, Dr. Seracold. She followed me into my office and sat down before my desk. I told her about Dr. Gaunt as briefly as possible. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Dr. Seracold. Now, I know how you must feel after working together all these years. Yes, yes. You have a surgery at 9 then, Dr. Seracold. The patient of Dr. Gaunt. Huh? Oh, very well. Surgery at 9. Surgery at 9. It was a mess, though. The girl had to be operated on at once if her brain abscess was to be avoided. And it was a couple of years since I'd had such a case to deal with. A bit frightening to face. Yes. I went in to see her and, uh... Good morning, Dr. Seracold. I looked at her. She was flushed. Her pulse was rapid. She was in a panic. Dr, I don't want an operation. I can't help it. I don't want an operation. Well, that's understandable. No one ever wants an operation. But sometimes, well, we just have to have them. And you've got nothing to worry about.  Uh-oh. No, I'd be out there walking up and down worrying. I... I guess it is chilly. Yes, of course it is. Now, now.  And you will be back in here getting well. Yes, yes. You've got to have faith in me, baby. Oh, I... I have faith in you, Dr. Seracold. Not faith in me. Faith in God. Surgery. The noise of bubbling water and roaring gas on the sharp, amusing smell of ether. The round circle of light from the head mirror. The scalpel. The curved incision. Your hand clenched on the instrument. Your mind clenched on your knowledge of anatomy. Here's the iodiform gauze, Dr. I pecked the wound with a gauze. Slowly, carefully. And inside, I was thanking God for his mercy and kindness to the girl on the table. And to me. Time consumed by the operation? Forty-five minutes. Time saved by the operation? Forty-five years. Perhaps more. A lot of things happen in a doctor's day. 9 a.m. surgery. 10 a.m. Call to the vicarage to see the vicar's wife. Dr. Gaunt's patient. She's out on a call right now, but she'll be back any moment if you care to wait in the parlor, Dr. Sarko. I sat down in a stiff corner chair, and I looked as I always did, towards the door, to see if Catherine was standing there. And then, as always, I felt a little foolish. For Catherine had been dead for 38 years, and I was probably the only one in the beliefs that remembered that there had once been a reverend friar living in the vicarage whose daughter, Catherine, had married Luke Seracold when he was a young assistant, and had died the next year when her baby was born. Catherine, to remember Catherine, is to remember laughter. And it's to remember youth and dreams and words softly spoken in the star-steb darkness. To remember Catherine is to remember spring, and the springtime of my life, the memory of her voice, is the music I carry always in my heart. Yes, thank you.  Catherine's face, golden in the firelight turned towards mine. Luke, you have such strength. You can conquer anything in the world, even death. Think of it, darling. You can conquer anything. Catherine's words burning in my veins, giving me new strength, new confidence. Oh, Luke, I'm so happy it's almost frightening. I suppose when anything goes as deep as this, you can't help but think what it would be like to lose it. I couldn't live without you. Catherine in my arms, warm, glowing, alive, and behind her, the moments running out quickly in times hourglass. A baby. Oh, Luke, just think a baby of our own.  Oh, Luke, isn't it wonderful to be alive? Isn't it wonderful to be alive? Catherine's voice always linked in my consciousness to the voice of Dr. Gaunt. Don't, Luke, you'd better go in. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. To remember Catherine is to remember sorrow so deep. It was inexpressible. To remember Catherine is to remember youth flickering out in her eyes and knowledge sifting in. To remember Catherine is to remember spring. Spring's ending. And tears in the night. Good morning, Dr. Cerakold. Didn't you hear me? What? Oh, I beg your pardon, Mrs. Carmichael. I was a thousand miles away. I was thinking about the days when I was young, and Dr. Gaunt asked me to look in on you. We shall all miss him. It gives us one a queer feeling, his passing. Yes. He always thinks so well and so alive somehow. It makes you wonder how long... I said, Kate, to leave the vicar alone just now. Mrs. Carmichael, you're not going to be leaving the vicar. I can see a big improvement since the time I stopped by with Dr. Gaunt. Three months ago. You can. Can you really, Dr. Cerakold? Yes, I can. Now, if you will promise me to do as I say, I can promise you a good many years with the vicar. Oh, thank you, Dr. Cerakold. You don't know what it means when people have been married as long as we have to face the thought of separation. That's right, Mrs. Carmichael. Only you two who have been so fortunate as to have had those years... Mrs. Carmichael. Thank God for that. Regents started for my next call, but I had a new feeling of hope. It was as though I... Well, I touched Catherine's hand, and the smoky flame of my life had begun to burn a little brighter. She had said... I could conquer death. Well, I wouldn't know by the end of the day. Surely the letter from the London Specialist would be there... when I got home. We'll return to the second act of Dr. Cerakold, starring Edmund Gwynne.

And now here is the second act of Dr. Thericold, darling Edmund Gwynne. In a doctor's day, 11 a.m., inoculated the five brown children for diphtheria. They were afraid of the needle. I want it! I want it! I want it! I looked down at the small, anguished face and as all children did, the little girl immediately became my own. No, no, no, Susie. Susie. Do you know what's in this needle? No. A lot of little, tiny people. So small, you can't even see them, except for the microscope. And these people are all carrying tiny swords.  Now, this needle is like a little, tiny bridge for the soldiers to walk across from their home, in this vial, to your arm. See? Now, there's nothing frightening about that, is there? No, I guess not. No, no.  So that none of the little people will be hurt as they march into your arm. There. There, we are there. Now, that, that didn't hurt, did it, eh? No, no, no. Dr. Sericale. Well, Susie, you ask me again when you're 21 and I'll take the matter under my serious consideration town's house thinking over Susie's proposal. Susie would be 21 in 14 years. Where would I be in 14 years? I felt a sudden, gnawing pain in my inside and I realized if the report from London was what I feared it would be, in less than one year I'd be sleeping beside chattering and what will I leave behind me? What monuments had I built? What discoveries had I made? None. None. It was new, but I turned towards home and lunch, fighting a dark midnight of despair. Two o'clock, called on mis-pure fire at the Dile House High Street, town had improved. Four o'clock gave four more diphtheria injections. Four o'clock drove up to see Lady Catrick of Carfax Hall. Lady Catrick would be down immediately, Dr. Sericale. I walked into the regal sitting room of Carfax Hall and waited. I didn't like Lady Catrick. She was tactless, heavy-handed, over fond of authority, but I was fond of her son and I worried about him. Well, Dorothy, here you are at last. I want to talk to you about my son Harry. He's not at all well just now but he's being extremely annoying. He's taking it into his head that he wants to marry the Parsons daughter at Hoh Davis. Oh, yes, Angela Fletcher. I understand she's got quite a good job drawing fashions for some paper. She won't be able to keep Harry under self out of a page of drawings a week. Well, she won't have to. He's got some money of his own. If he hasn't enough, he could oversell this place. Right. Yeah, after all, his father left it to him. Very Carfax? Yeah. Why, this is the family place. The catrics of all would live here. That's what the girls after, though. I love with Harry, do you? How could she be the boy's blind? Now, now, you don't know what you're talking about. Mother, how can you say that? Oh, so you're back, Harry. I told Dr. Seracold I wanted him to tell you how impossible it is for you to think of getting married. I'll not tell him anything of the kind. Let him get married if he wants to get married. Dr. Seracold! How's the boy ever to find any peace of mind if he's battered and bullied and shouted at? If he takes my advice, he'll go up to London tomorrow with Angela and get a special license. Dr. Seracold, you'll never be called to this house again. Leave the room. No. I don't know what Dr. Seracold is thinking about to talk as he does. What right has anyone in your condition to marry? What thought of husband do you think to make? Harry, don't listen to another word. You come away with me. Come now. Just as you are. It's your only chance. If you stay now, you'll be finished. Argued with? Shout it out. You're having the strength to fight her now. The thing to do is to clear out. Yes. Yes, come on then.  Don't you dare! What is known as an open and shut case of kidnapping? Come on, Harry, my car's right here. Dr. Seracold, is she right? No. Of course she isn't right. My mind isn't going, is it? She seems to think that... No, indeed. Look here. After you were discharged, there was still a splinter of bone pressing on your brain. That's why you had those lapses of memory that you did. After you had that operation in London, you were perfectly all right. You'll be all right now.  Here we are. Let's get out now. I didn't want to hurt Angela. If I couldn't make her happy, I... If my blindness would... Harry, do you know what Angela said to me the other day? Well, no. Oh, I didn't know you'd talk to her. Well, I try to keep an eye on everything I can in this part of the country. Angela said... Harry has such a strength. He can conquer anything he wants to conquer. Angela said that. Angela said, when I'm with Harry, I'm so happy. It's almost frightening. I couldn't live without him. Angela said, I want six sons, and I want them all to look exactly like him. Angela said... Angela said... there's ever to be happiness for me. It can only be with Harry. Angela... Oh, Angela, darling. Dr. Seracol told me that you said... Yes. I heard the things that Dr. Seracol said I saw. Thank you for bringing Harry, Dr. Seracol. Yes. Thank you for bringing me home. Well, now I'm sure you two can get along without me. I'm anxious to get home as early as I can. I'm... I'm expecting quite an important letter. M. Lady Patrick of Carfex Hall. 6 p.m. Town Council meeting. I went to the meeting, and then, at last, I was able to hurry home. And there, under the lamp in the hallway, was the letter. I held it in my hands a moment, turning it over and over, thinking I shall know what's the matter with me in a moment. All I have to do is... hear open the envelope to know whether there's death or life inside it. Oh, I don't know how long I stood there before I opened the letter. I only know that, finally, I was blinking at the type of the words. And the words kept... kept blurring in front of me only... only gradually could I make them out. Right. Glad to send you such satisfactory information. I took a more formidable... No, no, no, no. More favorable. Took a more favorable view from the first than you did yourself. Nervous dyspepsia, aggravated by... By what? What? Oh, overwork. Think you have no need for further anxiety. Three months' treatment along the lines of the enclosed instructions.  Oh, I'm getting too old for this sort of thing I thought. Oh, I thought. Oh, dear, I thought I... Thank God. Little, this is Perkins Labour. It's just commencing if you'll come over. I'll be right there, ma'am. Tell her. I'll be right there. Forty-five p.m. delivered a baby to Mrs. Frank Perkins. I stood there, waiting to welcome the child into the world, and... and as I waited, I... I thought, I've seen the whole of my own life again today, and had a chance to think... to think about what it was worth. I'd done a lot of fencing with death in my time, and forced him back more times than one. Maybe I haven't built any monuments, but... but I've given people years to live, and every life is a monument in itself. Every life I've added to. Every life I've helped into the world. Here's young Perkins, isn't he? We're staying up after midnight for a bit. He's a beautiful baby, Dr. Therical. Isn't he beautiful? Well, I suppose to a woman, it's her... Mrs. Perkins will think she is. And what does the doctor think? The doctor always thinks like the mother and the matron of the hospital. But the never was a child quite like this one. At 5 a.m., deliver a baby to Mrs. Perkins. Dear God, thank You for showing me once again today the pattern of faith and the fulfillment of faith. Thank You for guiding my mind and hands this day. And thank You... I must thank You above all for hope. Hope after hopelessness. For life after death.  Thank You for the 65 years I've lived till ahead of me.

Well, I like playing that character. Seems to be a habit of mine, doesn't it? I've even played old Santa himself. That's right. Well, as you learned then, as I'm sure you've always known, how important that spirit is all the year round. Oh, yes. I certainly do, and I think it's wonderful the way hallmark cards help maintain it with a fine selection of cards for every occasion.

The narcissists will not accept that you don't want them. Narcissists have to believe that they are superior to everyone around them, they have an overly high opinion of themselves, they have an exaggerated sense of their own abilities and importance. This is to compensate for their inner feelings of inferiority and attractiveness, inadequacy and insignificance. As an attempt to override their true inner feelings of themselves, they created a false self. The false self is an ideal version of the narcissist. It is a coping mechanism and a defence mechanism against their true inner feelings of themselves. Because of this, the narcissists can often come across as being very arrogant and audacious. They cannot accept that you do not want them or that you are not interested in them. A normal healthy person who experiences rejection might feel sad for a short period of time. They might go within and question their attractiveness, their qualities, abilities or talents. This is a normal healthy response to rejection. The narcissist doesn't do this. If you reject or display any form of disinterest to the narcissist, they will assume that there is something wrong with you. They will begin to question your attractiveness, your qualities, abilities or talents. Rejecting or displaying any form of disinterest to the narcissist can cause a narcissist's injury, which then leads to anger or rage. If they cannot get positive attention, admiration or praise from you, they will settle for negative attention. It still makes them feel as though they exist. It still makes them feel as though they are something significant or important to you. Something powerful. When you reject or display any form of disinterest to the narcissist, they can often become very aggressive. They will do something to try and pull you out of your happiness and contentment. They need narcissists to supply. They need attention. They need to be noticed. They need to feel as though they are something significant or important in your life. If you don't willingly give them what they need, they will force it out of you.  To force you to pay attention to them. To force themselves into being something significant or important to you. They believe that because you don't want them, it gives them the right to abuse you. In their minds, they feel angry because you did something to them. You hurt them by not giving them attention or validation, by not validating their false self. When you reject the narcissist or display any form of disinterest to them, they will aggressively pursue you.  They will stalk and harass you with unwanted and obsessive attention.  They will try to annoy you persistently because in their minds, you hurt them.  Narcissists are very arrogant and audacious. They expect you to want them. If you don't, then in their minds there must be something wrong with you or you are just playing a game to hurt them. They also have a strong sense of entitlement. They believe that they have a right to your time, energy and attention. They are too self-absorbed to realise or accept that you do not want them. They are too preoccupied with their own feelings and interests to even consider how you feel about the situation or your interests. They lack empathy, which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. And they are refusing to accept that you do not want them and still forcing their interests and agendas onto you. It's because they don't care about what you want or how you feel. All they care about is what they want in that moment. And whatever they want, they feel entitled to. Many narcissists are not self-aware. They don't have conscious knowledge of their own character and feelings. So they cannot consider or understand what is inappropriate or what is undesired or not wanted. Some narcissists are aware of their character and feelings. They understand that you don't want them, they just don't care. All they care about is what they want and they believe that they are entitled to you. You can make it clear to them that you are not interested, but they will continue to show that they are interested in you. They will continue to aggressively pursue you. A few showing disinterest to an extent where the narcissist is triggered to self-reflect. That will cause a narcissist injury. They will stalk and harass you with unwanted and obsessive attention. Because in their minds you made them feel inferior and attractive, inadequate and insignificant. They don't get it that you just don't want anything to do with them. They will try to force their distorted beliefs onto you and try to force you to do what they want. They have an obsessive need to make things go their way. Regardless of what you want or how you feel about the situation. When you don't want them or you are not interested in them. They will go to great lengths to trouble or annoy you. To badger or hound you with frequent or persistent requests or interruptions. They will go to great lengths to get your attention. And to try to get you to be interested in them. At first they will try to impress you. They will try to do things to make you admire or respect them. If that doesn't work, they will begin criticising you, insulting you. Forming judgements about you. Indicating your faults, mistakes, flaws or imperfections. Making you feel as though you're worthless will beneath their consideration. When you never wanted anything to do with them in the first place. They have to force themselves onto you. They don't believe that anything will happen naturally. They act as though they are arrogant and entitled on the surface. But this is actually just a compensate for their true feelings of inferiority and not being deserving of anything. Deep down they already expect you to not want them. To not be interested in them. They already feel as though they are completely worthless and insignificant. But the false self that they have created is supposed to defend them against those feelings. It is supposed to be this attractive, admirable and respectable person. The false self cannot be self validated because it isn't real. So it requires endless external emotional support. People need to validate their false selves by constantly noticing them and complimenting them. Making them feel as though their false self does exist and it is something attractive, admirable and respectable. You have to constantly prop up their false self for them to feel validated. If you could not do this, they will begin to become consumed by their true inner feelings of worthlessness and insignificance. And they will assume that you have made them feel that way by not acknowledging or validating their false self. The arrogance and the entitlement they display on the surface is designed to defend them from how they really feel about themselves. It's as though they are trying to fight against how they really feel. And if you don't validate their false self, it's a battle they can never win. So they will still can harass you with unwanted and obsessive attention. And if that doesn't work, they will begin to project everything that they feel about themselves onto you. They cannot accept that you don't want them because then that would trigger them to reflect on how they really feel about themselves. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you.

The Minnesota Supreme Court says part of a disorderly conduct law that bars people from disturbing public meetings is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment. The ruling comes in the case of a little Falls woman who was escorted from a city council meeting and charged with disorderly conduct after she refused to sit in the gallery. In Wednesday's ruling, the Supreme Court invalidated the law saying it's overbroad. The justices sent the case back to the lower court with an order to vacate Robin Hensel's conviction. Hensel is a little Falls human rights and free speech advocate and former candidate for mayor in the city. Her attorney says the ruling is a victory for free speech at a time when democratic values are under attack and public dissent is critical. An attorney who represented the state says they are disappointed with the decision and are evaluating its impact.
