A new study suggests that after failure of revision ACL reconstruction, a second revision surgery results in better knee function than non-surgical management, although both treatment strategies are associated with a high rate of return to sport. The findings are published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine. Tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is a common sports injury. It's usually treated with ACL reconstruction surgery. However, in some patients, particularly young and active patients, the surgical graft ruptures and requires revision ACL reconstruction. And a subset of these patients experience another rupture after the revision. It has remained unclear whether a second revision ACL reconstruction or non-surgical management results in better outcomes for these patients. To find out, the new study followed 41 patients with a failed first revision ACL reconstruction, 31 of whom underwent a second revision surgery and 10 of whom chose non-surgical management. The researchers compared the rate of return to sport and various functional outcomes between the groups using clinical data, responses from a standardized telephone interview, and patient-reported outcome scores. Both groups had a high rate of return to sport, but the second revision group had significantly better scores than the non-surgical management group for four of the patient-reported outcome measures suggesting better knee function. In addition, more patients in the surgical group than in the non-surgical group achieved a patient-acceptable symptom state on the COOS Sport and Recreation Scale. In contrast, non-surgical management was the only significant predictor of failure to achieve a good or excellent lease home score at the final follow-up. This predictive link was likely related to inferior knee stability in the non-surgical group versus the surgical group. Notably, this study was retrospective in nature, so the groupings weren't controlled and the sample size was small. In addition, some data on the first ACL repair surgeries was missing. Finally, some instances of graft failure may have been missed if patients were asymptomatic as imaging and physical exams weren't performed at the final follow-up visit. Despite these limitations, the findings suggest that both a second revision ACL reconstruction and non-surgical management of a failed first revision ACL reconstruction support a high rate of return to sport. However, a second revision surgery may yield better functional outcomes in the eyes of patients.


Hi, good. Hi. Good morning and welcome to these products and focus us 30 there Managed to have itself an incredibly good end of the day up almost over a percent at the end of the session to stop short of 17895 which is the next potential resistance. This would be a technical breakout of this downtrend line that we drew on the other day I might as well not bothered in that case But nevertheless you are looking at a longer-term potential all-time high just over 18,000 as the next level Though today is non-farm payrolls and many commentators suspecting that it will be a weaker than expected number So they're hoping to have a 234,000 but the last amounts of economic data from the US has been a bit middling at best Anything below 200,000 say 185,000 would be seen as a little bit of a disappointment and traders would have a look at $1.00 yen and your dollar comes in much stronger than expected There's probably still be some of the FX pairs to have a look at though cable is FX pair That's having the most movement overnight now up at one spot 53. So it's having a good session Possibly an anticipation of a weaker number. So looking at the UK 100 It's getting ever closer to that all-time high again 6906.8. It's not done it yet Maybe today Japan 225 is again playing around with 17496 as dollar yen the end's strengthening a little bit as we head in the normal farms as people began to hedge against uncertainty by the safe haven yen And here we are again one 17 spot 36 not much else to say about Dollar yen apart from the fundamentals are interesting if non pharmacists appoints because safe haven yen and Dollar weakness because then it looks like they will not raise they have less Evidence to or much less reason to raise rates in the short term should that figure come in at sub 185 And we have been hugging around about this potential support level for a number of sessions So if it is a weak number you could get a technical break towards one 14 spot 74 so could I was Texas very volatile very tough to trade I think right now It was up one minute down the next up one minute down the next 54 85 is an expotential resistance a Weakier than expected number Well, there's a lot of factors in play because you have a weaker US dollar in that case Which would be positive for West Texas crude But then it kind of says that the US economy is not as strong as what was expected So that kind of fits a little bit of extra pressure on there Non farm perils figure comes in much better than expected the dollar that's good for the economy good for the world's economy And good for the US dollar kind of can't relax yourself probably the best thing here if you're a crude bill is for a stronger and non farm perils figure But I have to wait till 130 UK time to find out that's the case Gold is always sensitive to interest rate decisions over it over in the US And this will be Affected if you get a very strong non farm perils number coming in gold will go down And if as we can expect did you have the safety of an aspect in that dollar weakness and we might get a tick above 1273 So finishing up with your dollar and cable your dollar again very volatile as well Kappa 21 period SMA potentially at one spot 1642 is an expotential resistance And the people will be having a look at this should not farm perils disappoint We could get a little bit of a spike higher, but the euro is not exactly that strong either And then you've got cable which is probably the better trade if you're looking it's either is either cable or Our dollar yen you want to have a look at your non farm perils session We've already had a fantastic session yesterday. We're getting quite close to next potential resistance one spot 54 24 Though perhaps a lot of a lot of that move is priced in should non farms disappoint and cable because it has rallied quite strongly and The absence of any Specific UK data that came out yesterday of any particular interest Obviously we are getting quite close to general election in the UK Usually cable doesn't enjoy those sessions and it's actually very unclear just now who's actually gonna go ahead and win the election There's no Kind of forerunner just now. They're talking a lot about coalitions and everything else Not good for the shouldn't be that good for the sterling But nevertheless it is rallying against US dollar and anticipation of today Today's non farm perils event As ever guys, you got the chart forum to keep your eye on if you go to support and then go to live trader events You can sign up to our live webinar covering the non farm perils session in real time with our FX analyst Michael Houston and keep your eye on insights for The inside track as to what's moving in the markets before and after the result and join me again on Monday to find out What happened next?


Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, everybody. Well, tonight we're going to ride with Marvin Miller and back through time and memory to another year. Well, tonight we're going to ride with Marvin. Yesterday. Tonight's destiny to another year is from 1900 to 1905. Goodbye, my baby love. Farewell, my baby love. To the world and darling love. 1900. The Bureau of the Rotten Shares, the bicycle, the cakewalk. William McKinley was President of the United States, and Teddy Roosevelt was Vice President. And the elaborate preparations were underway for the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. George M. Cohan and the four Cohans were up in Lights on Broadway, and young George, who had been born on the 4th of July, wrote a song and told everyone on Broadway about it. Let's all the candy, I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy. I'm glad I am. I'm a real-life Yankee Doodle. Made my name in fame and bootle. Just like Mr. Doodle did by riding on a pony. Say, can you see? Everything about a Yankee that's a pony. I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy.  A real-life Yankee or die Uncle Sam, because I was born on the 4th of July. A Yankee Doodle sweet in heart. A Yankee Doodle joy. A Yankee Doodle came to London just the right morning. I am a Yankee Doodle boy. A Yankee Doodle Dandy.  Doodle joy. A Yankee Doodle came to London just the right morning. I am a Yankee Doodle boy. Early 1900s. Tell me, pretty maiden, are there any more at home like you? Tell me, pretty maiden, what is very simple for me to?  Yes, and only go crew so, is the king of the metropolitan opera. Oh, my God! Classic series. The Rover Boy. Or perhaps you remember your mother saying something like this. Now, father, you must speak to your son. He's developing into a regular time squanderer. He spent the whole day shot up in the dark looking at that, a new thing they call moving pictures. Starting out on their first great adventure, and motion pictures were just beginning. And if you had a piano and your parlor back in those days, it was one song that was certain to be on it. In the good old song. September, in the year 1901. It's a group of people facing a crowd that is surging through the doors of a building at the Pan-American Exposition. Take the hand of a man standing a few feet away from you. The president of the United States. Are you tired? Not at all. You can't shake hands with everyone at the expedition, you know. Perhaps not, but at least everyone will know that I tried to shake hands with him. It comes a line again. Mr. President, I can't tell you how proud I am to shake your hand. Thank you. I'm just as proud to shake yours, madam. Thank you. Well, I must say, he's perfectly lovely. Well, son, I see that your hand is banded. Are you injured in some way? Yes. Yes, I'm injured. Hold that man. Don't let him get away. Charles, Mark, help me with the president. Call a doctor. Someone call a doctor. Don't, don't let him hurt him. No. Excuse me. No. The man was President William McKinley. A man of gentleness and kindness. The entire world mourned his death on September 14, eight days later. To remember from the early 1900s, the world series came into being, and horse racing was beginning to interest the nation. The great operetta was playing at the Broadway Theater in New York. The Prince of Tilson, and a stirring song from that score will be remembered by everyone who saw it. Better than riches always, jolly. Those are the days of steam rescursions, of fictic parties riding through Central Park on tandem bicycles, of barbershop quartets, and the police cadets. Those are the days when the Vice President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, was an inaugurated president, following the death of William McKinley, and charged about Washington like a dynamo, making things come. The act has passed, Mr. President, just the way you wanted it. Congress has appropriated $40 million to purchase the property and rights from the French company. You can build your canal across the Isthmus of Panama. Long fight, Teddy Roosevelt saw the way clear for the accomplishment of one of the dreams of his life time, the Panama Canal. In 1901, a brilliant young composer named Dettelbert Nederman wrote a melody to the words of a poem by Frank Stanton. The result, one of the world's most beloved lullabies. He started painting the verses of the ruby out by Omar Kayam on cloth. On the more serious side, you were talking about President Roosevelt's great dream of the Panama Canal and Lieutenant Robert Perry's trip to the Arctic. And at home, everyone started singing a song by Eddie Leonard and never really stopped. Make a lot of money. Mr. Ubi's truth, nothing then could make me blue. Teddy Roosevelt's era, Mrs. Terry Nation's and Elehu Root. The largest tree in the world was discovered in the California Sierras and the famous St. Louis Exposition Open. It seems the long time ago doesn't it, for it's 50 years back into time and memory. Time brings many changes. Styles have changed. Tastes have changed. Even the way people speak has been changed since those days when George M. Cohen first looked across the footlight and sang about his country. But the spirit he sang about has changed. It's the spirit that flames brightest in times of challenge and perhaps flows brighter today than ever before. So on this eve of our Independence Day holiday, we find that same spirit still aflame in the warm words and stirring music of Mr. Irving Berlin written by Jean Holloway and brought to you each week at the time by the American Railroad. We hope you've enjoyed our experience on the summer show train and that you're having a happy weekend over this force. Yes, have a good time, folks, but for a moment, perhaps as you hear a band or a fierce sky rocket, remember that it is the Fourth of July, the first day of freedom. Freedom and liberty are more than words on the backs of coins. They stand for freedom to write and speak and assemble. Freedom has been one way. Freedom to live with dignity. Remember that men died to give us these freedoms. Keeping them is everybody's job. Part of that job is to do good citizenship. Keeping informed, folding, serving on juries and schoolboys, helping our own communities. Yes, freedom is everybody's job. In 1934 Southern Bloom was the country's number one song, and next week the summer show train is going to take you back to that year to relive some of its interesting happenings in here, many of its greatest songs. Songs like You and the Night and the Music. Anything goes at one night of love. So join us again next Monday, folks, and ride with us aboard the summer show train back through the year 1934. Well, looks as though we're ready to pull out. So until next week, goodbye. This is Marvin Miller. With a hearty invitation from the American Railroad. Join us again next week and ride the summer show train back to the year 1934. Thank you. In 1934 and now stay tuned to your Monday night of music on NBC.

We went south of France. So yea 17-18 I think I didn't think my first flight was when I was 17 for football and my first holiday was 18. Um...  A little pet puddle snippy.  We loved them like but unfortunately he took a stroll down the town I didn't come back. My brother Francis and Stevie are much more into music than me, like I had an iPod or an MP3 player. I wouldn't have known how to put music on it, so whatever music they would have put on. I collected glasses in the bar where my dad worked in the Bayview Hotel on a Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday night and I'd done some other work in the summer in that same hotel. Robbie Keane, that night, I came on against Tottenham. I think I've got Robbie Keane's and Shea Given's shirt up in my home house, my mum and dad's house. So I think Robbie Keane's, yeah, but I'm not one for swapping shirts now. First boots, my mum still has them. A pair of umbrellas, I'm not sure what maker, what type to wear. I did a little bit of orange on them and my mum still has them. I think they're a couple of sizes too big at the time, but we still have them in the house. It was an ongo that I was devastated. I was across from that side and I've tried to head it over the barn. I put it in the top corner and I was due to go home and go out that night with my girlfriend, who's now my wife, but I remember being too upset that I didn't want to go out. That was my first ongo, but my first goal was against Bray. I only scored one for Slago, so I broke against Bray. Bray Wanderer was left foot, I cut in and finished it with my left foot. Good memory, it's on YouTube. Derek, any team, any squad will miss somebody like Seamus Coma? Yeah, massive blow. I saw the challenge, well I haven't seen the challenge because for once the TV wouldn't show the replay of it. But it was a horrible tackle, horrible break. My concern is, when it has an injury, it's how you get over it. But it's that first tackle, that first thing in a game. How Seamus will Seamus be affected by it? Will he be able to get that first challenge and not worry about it? I hope he does, he's been badly, badly missed. He's an energetic lad and the progress he made in the last eight, nine years at Oclo has been absolutely fantastic. And rightly so, he's now captain in his country. I wouldn't be surprised if you get to the on-bound area in the near future. People say about it now, where do we go from here? Of course, you went on to win everything with Everton Football Club but it wasn't always that way Derek, it was the year. You had some tough times as well, everybody I think that plays for Everton at some point plays in a team that gets booed off the pitch and let's get it right, the punters wanted Howard. Yeah they did, go back to Christmas 83, I've been in the side less than a month, six weeks and we played at home to Coventry, Box Day I think it was or 27 and it was awful. It was the worst gap being involved in so much so they'd known he'd just boo us, they used to provide cushions for the seats in the main stand and they rained down on the pitch. I've still got a couple at home in the bed so whoever was in row nine seat three I've got your cushion at home but we were going through a rough time, a really rough time. We went to Walls of Fondain, got beat 3-0, came home against someone else, got doing it. It was awful football. Then all of a sudden from nowhere five months later we were ethical winners. But how did that happen? I had a finger on it but I remember going to Birmingham City around about early January 84 and we turned up on that silver kit on the day and we were all ready to go, all chains, boots up everything and referee walks in and goes you can't wear that kit tonight boys, it's going to clash under the headlights with Birmingham's kit. We all went, what are we going to do? And with that in Walls of Birmingham kit man with Birmingham's away kit, yellow, blue, yellow. Tradition 11, away kit. Won the game 2-0, didn't lose a 20-year game. I'm saying thanks to Birmingham City makers where they're kit but it just changed all of a sudden Colin Orffy was the first team coach Reid had signed, Andy Grey had come in. I'd start to find me way into the team and find me feet as well.  I was told by Howard, head the ball, get it down, give it to people who use it, give it to Reid, give it to Grace, give it to Gary Stevens. So we did. We didn't complicate things in those days. But how it turned around, I don't know but what a turn around it was. We had a wonderful five months and it continued on for the two and a half years. It was a brilliant time. Confidence is such a big thing. Right, let's start to look ahead now to the weekend home fixture at Gooderson Park with Watford. Sunday is a massive game for the club. It's a great game. It's a great opportunity to get back to winning ways. Sunday is about Everton Football Club and we need to win and we need to win for the fans. We need to win for the players desperately to give them some confidence and we all need to come together and be together and win a game of football. Some may say you've been unfortunate that those three games in charge have been away from home at difficult venues as well. You've now got an opportunity at Gooderson Park. How much does that mean to you standing on the touch line as manager of Gooderson? It means everything. It would be great to get back to Gooderson Park. Three tough away games but you play the cards that you've dealt and certainly you won't find me complaining or moaning about difficult fixtures. It would be great to get back to Gooderson and I can't wait to stand there in front of 40,000 Evertonians who I know will get behind everybody on Sunday afternoon. Derek, no two ways about it. It's a three points are essential. We can't afford to be around that delegation zone too much longer. We need the points in the bag. We need goals, we need confidence and it starts by beating Watford and hopefully putting on a decent performance and getting the right result. What have you made of Dominic Calvert-Lewin this season? I like his energy. I like his determination. He's a hard worker in centre for the young lad making his way in the game but his effort rubs up on other people being impressed with him but he needs to put that goalscoring attribute into his game. Jordan Pickford's done well too. He's been outstanding. Big concern when he signed about his height. I didn't think he was tall enough but he dominates his box and without Pickford we could have lost by even more goals in certain games this season and I've been very impressed with him. I know you've been in France this week for the Lyon game and you get to as many games as you can and you don't like the corporate side of it do you prefer to be in the throat box amongst the fans? It takes you back to my days in the 70s going to the on the street and going to certain away games and it's nice to be around them but I like listening to the comments because some of them have different opinions on different people and different players and it's interesting and I like to cock the air out and listen to the thingy but it's nice being with the fans because they spend a lot of their time and effort getting to the away games and I like being around, it was good fun. It takes you back to the days when you used to cycle across the autographs outside Belfield. Cycled to Belfield and trying to get in there and guddly and saying no you can't again so cycling around the back, jump on the water watch the training, did it so many times as a youngster never expected to drive through those green gates and do what it did but had a wonderful time playing football and a great six years at the club of the door of my life. That's what they call living the dream isn't it? It's more than living the dream plus a bit more mate, I promise you. It's been a pleasure to be in the company of the next Everton show. Please do join us again in seven days time. You've been watching the Everton show on YouTube. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. I hope you've enjoyed it. I'm sure you have.

As you know, we've got a situation in which Israel is preparing for a ground offensive going into Gaza. What are your thoughts on the military response that we've seen from Israel this past week? Elena, I must tell you that I'm not crying for my parents. I'm crying for those who are going to lose their life in this war. We must stop the war. You just heard from an Israeli man whose parents Bilhah and Yaqaf were killed last week by Hamas. But as you saw, he does not support Israel's war because he knows that that war is going to lead to a lot of innocent people who had nothing to do with his parents' deaths dying as a result. And he just doesn't support that. Now he goes on to say the following. The war is not the answer. And I beg you, I beg all the viewers and listeners to do everything in their power to put pressure over everyone that is relevant to stop the war immediately, to freeze the situation. In our family, we are not seeking revenge, revenge will just lead to more suffering and to more casualties.  I'm afraid that the numbers can be much bigger, an enormous number. And we must do everything to stop the war. His words are so incredibly important and I really commend him for saying this. Now thankfully, he is not the only one speaking out because a 19-year-old survivor of Hamas's attack echoed the same sentiment when she was interviewed. So for her, she experienced a terrifying event, but then it was over because she was able to evacuate. But in Gaza, the terror continues because there's nowhere to escape, nowhere for them to go. And she goes on later in that clip to condemn Netanyahu asking how many more people have to die for his ego. So we've heard from two people directly affected by Hamas's attack, but yet despite the trauma and the pain and the anger that they're probably feeling right now, they still haven't lost their humanity, unlike almost every world leader. Now over the weekend, we've witnessed Israel carry out a genocide in real time with the full support of the American political establishment and the Biden administration. On Thursday, we learned that Israel was giving 1.1 million Gazans just 24 hours to relocate to southern Gaza. And as Gazans tried to flee, like they were instructed to do, Israel bombed convoys transporting civilians, killing 70 and injuring hundreds more. And this disregard for civilians from Israel isn't surprising considering their admitted focus, quote, on damage and not on accuracy as their military spokesperson put it. And the last estimate that I saw put the Palestinian death toll at 2,670, double that of the death toll from Hamas's attack with nearly 10,000 injured. Now the Palestinian Health Ministry is reporting that entire bloodlines are being wiped out with every Gazan being affected in some way, shape or form. President Rafat Ala Reir, who we heard from last week, announced on Twitter that he's lost six relatives since. And he follows up by explaining how terrifying it is to wonder which of your relatives are currently living in agony, and he also alleges that families huddled together have been targeted by the Israeli military. And I just want to pause for a moment because 50% of Gazans are children. So based on the numbers that we're getting, it's reasonable to assume that around 1,300 of the 2,600 deaths thus far have been children. At least 1,000 have probably died. That is devastating. And with power cut off to hospitals, people not able to get dialysis or the care that they need or have their injuries treated, many who are injured currently might die. But even those who weren't injured are also at risk because remember, as the independence bell true reported, water ran out for 2 million Gazans with no humanitarian supplies being allowed in. And as a matter of fact, journalist Alan McLeod reported, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a United Nations relief depot in Central Gaza, meaning that any medical supplies, food or bottled water that could have been distributed was destroyed, at least at that center. And the effects of no water quickly set in, with AP reporting that Gazans are drinking so little water that they're only urinating once per day or every other day, with others resorting to drinking wastewater and even saltwater, which results in more dehydration. And if you drink wastewater, you could get sick. But thankfully, after receiving pressure from the Biden administration, Israel has reportedly turned water back on to southern Gaza. Now let me just pause for a moment and remind everyone that collective punishment is a war crime. The reason why they've tortured Palestinian civilians is largely because other governments are okay with it. The Biden administration has allowed them to do this. So the fact that Biden applied any pressure is genuinely shocking to me considering his administration's despicable response or lack thereof. White House press spokesperson Karin Jean-Pierre told reporters that calls for a ceasefire were quote, repugnant and also called it disgraceful. And to make matters worse, the State Department sent a memo to diplomats telling them to not call for de-escalation or an end to violence because, of course, that would make Israel look bad, which they don't want to do. Now unfortunately, this pressure from the Biden administration seems to be working because only a handful of progressives have called for a ceasefire. That includes Tlaib, Carson, Summer Lee, Ramirez, Bowman, Watson Coleman, Jesus Garcia, Jonathan Jackson, AOC, Omar Presley and Velazquez. And I think it's important to read out their names because this means every other lawmaker in this country, which includes all Republicans and the overwhelming majority of Democrats, are silent. They're silent as a genocide happens before our very eyes. So if your lawmaker isn't on that list, I would highly encourage you to call them and ask them why they have not condemned the indiscriminate killing of Palestinian children who had nothing to do with Hamas' attack. This injured little girl that you're seeing on screen is asking in Arabic why Israel is doing this to them. She's not old enough to understand why any of this is happening, but yet as innocent children like her suffer, politicians turn a blind eye. And I can't stress enough how little I respect the people who spinelessly remain silent. Their silence is deafening, especially when it's needed right now because we are seeing a genocide. It's a defining moment, and so many American politicians have demonstrated that they just don't care about Palestinians, they don't care about suffering. Because they know that if they speak up, it could have negative political ramifications for them. Despicable cowards, all of them. They just don't view Palestinians as human beings, or if they do, then they're just too afraid to speak up. It's just gross. And this toxic environment towards Palestinians has culminated in a Chicago landlord stabbing a six-year-old Palestinian American boy to death and severely injuring his mother. And they were targeted because they're Muslim. Now Politico reports that the Biden administration has expressed shock and was sickened by the little boy's death, but I have to ask, how is he shocked by this? How is this shocking? We knew that this would be the result. How is Biden of all people shocked, though, when his response cultivated this climate, this toxic climate that we're in, in the same way that Trump emboldened white supremacists in his administration? Biden is emboldening Islamophobes, because in the face of anti-Muslim hysteria comparable to the early post-911 days, Biden's administration has made it very clear that Palestinian lives don't matter. He is complicit as Israel's far-right fascist government indiscriminately slaughters Palestinian civilians. But all of a sudden, he's shocked that brutality against Muslims is being committed here at home as well. Why? Why would you be shocked by that? Because your administration is communicating to the American people that calling for an end to violence is repugnant. That's what your press secretary said. So when you do that, this is what happens, blood is on Biden's hands. And there is going to be an ongoing political cost for him. As Mehdi Hassan points out, Biden could lose Michigan if things continue in this way, because there's a huge Muslim population in Michigan, and if they choose to stay home in 2024 because they feel rightfully abandoned by the Biden administration, it could hurt him. While Biden may very well be working behind the scenes to ameliorate the situation to pressure Israel, they were likely going to launch a ground invasion within 24 hours that time has passed, so perhaps he got them to postpone it so Gazans can get out of the area where the warfare is going to take place. But what you say publicly during these times is really, really important. And Biden has absolutely not met the moment. And the political fallout is continuing because Jewish activists took to the streets in D.C. near the White House to call for the killings to stop. And on top of that, Biden's speech was disrupted by a Jewish activist who had a very clear message. Now the irony is that he was speaking at an event for the Human Rights Campaign, while completely ignoring the human rights abuses going on in Gaza, not condemning them publicly. Now you may be thinking that everyone is being too hard on Biden because, you know, he's not the one bombing Gaza, but you have to understand the dynamics at play here. Israel has only been able to maintain their state of apartheid and carry out war crimes specifically because it has U.S. support, which is unconditional. So if a U.S. president demands that they stop, that pressure is immense.  And Biden has not done that. At this point they've supported Israel unequivocally, which is why Israel is doing what it's been doing.  So imagine what Biden could accomplish if he demanded an immediate ceasefire and not ban the word from U.S. diplomats. I mean the fact that it hasn't happened tells us that he hasn't asked, which is why he's choosing to allow the carnage to continue. That's why people are exerting pressure on Biden, right? Now he showed how influential he is because they turned back on water to southern Gaza when he asked them to. Now with that being said, his rhetoric is slowly but surely shifting. In an interview with 60 Minutes he encouraged Israel to not quote occupy Gaza, which is a bit tone deaf considering how long the occupation has been going on. But I mean the mere inclination that Israel is in any way possibly wrong is a dramatic shift when the bar is this low. It's below the floor. So even that just saying maybe possibly Israel is in the wrong in some way, shape or form, that honestly is huge. Even if it doesn't seem like it, it's subtle, but it is huge. But obviously it's not enough.  A lot of people are starting to wake up. As Mint Press journalist Ellen McClod points out, protests have erupted across the United States in Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Kansas City, Dearborn, Michigan, Seattle, and also in Europe. Protests have broken out in Madrid, Amsterdam, in central London where the Palestinian flag may soon be banned, in Paris defying Macron's ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Dublin and also in Berlin with demonstrators being brutalized by German police. But there's also central Stockholm and Glassglow and Copenhagen. And as much as my faith in humanity has been shaken by the responses we've seen from politicians over the course of the last couple of days, I think that seeing citizens across the world rise up to condemn this genocide in real time, it is something that is very encouraging. And understand that Western governments know that they're in the wrong, which is why they have to suppress free speech in order to defend Israel. But the cast out of the bag, and everyone can see what's going on, and world leaders are only making themselves look worse as they continue to defend the indefensible case in point. What's the view on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza this morning? There is no humanitarian crisis because there is no. Israel is in charge of the safety of the Israelis, Hamas is in charge of the safety of the Palestinians. We've been showing pictures this morning that would illustrate that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Can I ask you something? Yeah. Are you a mother? Yes.  Would you expect your government to think about those Nazis committing those crimes and to say, wait a second, first of all, we need to protect the enemy, and then to protect my children. Your children come as priority to your prime minister. So we have been showing images this morning that illustrate that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. So blame Hamas and ask Hamas why they started those atrocities walking around. Seeing that knowledge that there is a humanitarian crisis. I'm saying there is no. Israel is working. So what do you think is happening? What is happening? There is a war in Gaza, a war that Hamas started by committing a horrible massacre on innocent Israelis. The world have seen it. What about the racial damage? Wait a second. They're innocent civilians. I just want to say and give a little bit of a context. Those people created crimes that are worse than ISIS. When the American started this fight of ISIS together with the coalition forces, over 100,000 civilians got caught in a crossfire. Israel is trying to prevent that. Israel is better than any other army in the world we are alerting. We are giving them the opportunity to have a shelter. We are doing things that no other Western army did in the past. Absolutely zero concern whatsoever about Palestinian suffering. And with a straight face claiming that there's no humanitarian crisis as Israel cuts off water, food, and power. And bombs convoys of Palestinian refugees trying to escape bombs. And it's not like Israel is doing this in secret. She's saying we're cutting off their electricity and their water. But she's saying there's no humanitarian crisis. It's just it feels like we're being gaslit and it's not okay. But that response, even though it's hard to watch, it's pretty common, right? Because the go-to method is to just deny, deny, deny. Whenever Israeli war crimes are brought up, you either deny them or you pivot back to Hamas as she did. It's what former Israeli Prime Minister Neftali Bennett did when he was interviewed by Sky News and they asked, what's going to happen to the babies and incubators if you cut off power, which will affect hospitals? Look at his response. And what about those Palestinians in hospital who are on life support and babies and incubators whose life support and incubator will have to be turned off because the Israelis have cut the power to Gaza?  What's what's wrong with you? Have you not seen what happened? We're fighting Nazis. We don't target them. Now, the world can come and bring them anything they want. If you want to bring them electricity, I'm not going to feed electricity or water to my enemies. If anyone else wants, that's fine. We're not responsible for this is the point. You keep on.  I've heard you enough. No, no, I understand we're trying to have a conversation here. Listen, this is my program. This is my show and I am asking the questions. You're raising your voice and I've asked you and we've already we've already stopped, please. Let me finish. We've already distinguished between Hamas.  You're trying to speak over. We are not shame on you. It's nothing about we're trying to have a conversation about a very serious situation here. And you are refusing to address it. He was genuinely outraged that a reporter dared to ask him about Palestinian civilians. But notice the Freudian slip. I'm not going to feed electricity or water to my enemies.  So it's not true that other people can supply them with it. The Israeli military bombed a UN relief center. But what he said there was very important. He said he is not going to supply his enemies with food and water. Notice how when he said that statement, he didn't differentiate between Hamas and just regular Palestinians. And it's because all of them are indeed his enemies. That's how he views them. He views them all as guilty for the crimes of Hamas. And if you think that I'm being uncharitable, well, let's listen to what the Israeli president had to say about this very thing. We are working operating militarily according to rules of international law, period. Unequivocally, it's an entire nation out there that is responsible. It's not true. This rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved, it's absolutely not true. They could have risen up. They could have fought against that evil regime, which took over Gaza in a coup d'etat. But we are at war. We are at war. We are at war with our, we are defending our homes. We're protecting our homes. That's the truth. And then when a nation protects its home, it fights. And we will fight until we'll break their backbone. So the entire nation is responsible because they could have risen up and overthrown their government. I would like to see him ask that little girl we saw earlier crying why she didn't rise up and overthrow Hamas. I mean, I guess it's her fault. I guess she deserves the pain and suffering that she's feeling. It's just outrageous. The logic here is stunning, but it goes to show you that when it comes to Palestinians and Hamas, they think that they're one and the same. They're synonymous. Both their actions and their words indicate this. There's just no thought about the humanity of people who have nothing to do with this, including children, about 1,000 of which have been killed. But at least in an interview with CNN, Israel's ambassador to the UN pretended to be sad about the government's indiscriminate killing of Palestinian civilians. But even though he feigned sadness, he still trotted out the same justification to Jake Tapper, making it seem as if Hamas and Palestinians are one and the same. Sadly, it's very sad because I really feel sorry for the suffering of the people of Gaza, but we should all remember they elected Hamas 18 years ago. Hamas is the only one responsible for everything that is happening there. So in other words, they're all guilty because you get what you vote for. Stunningly dishonest, because again, 50% of the population in Gaza is under 18, meaning that half of them were not alive when the election took place, or they were children and didn't know what was going on. I don't think many children are politically active anywhere in the world. Furthermore, no mention there of Benjamin Netanyahu emboldening and wanting to fund Hamas to thwart Palestinian statehood. No mention of the Israeli government's apartheid regime, keeping Gazans in the world's largest open air prison, obviously going to foster desperation and inevitably lead to radicalization, but no mention there of that. But regardless, I'm honestly stunned that he even bothered to put on an act for CNN's audience because usually just straight up callousness is what we see, it's the norm. Take Israel's foreign minister, for example. So while he was being called out for war crimes in an interview with Marc Lamont Hill, look at the way that he reacts when Marc floats the idea of Israel accepting Gazan refugees themselves so that way they're not punished for the crimes of Hamas. He said that the humanitarian situation, quote, will only deteriorate exponentially and that crucial life-saving supplies, including fuel, food, and water, must be allowed into Gaza. So the UN is saying you must do this. You are saying you're not going to do this. How do you- No, we're not saying that. He's saying doing it immediately. What I'm saying is what you're doing. No, no. He's saying doing it immediately. Yeah. I got you. I'll tell you exactly what we're saying. I'm saying we will do everything for the Gazan people. Once and now we demand immediate surrender, unconditional surrender of Hamas. If Hamas people come out with their hands up and clear their weapons, believe me, everything will be restored to Gaza. It is Hamas in Hamas hands. Okay, now I understand. Thank you for clarifying that, sir. I think we're actually on the same page here. You're saying that once Hamas leaves, you'll grant the Gazan people food, shelter, fuel, electricity, hospitals, schooling. And if Hamas doesn't leave, then they'll continue to starve and die in hospitals. You are defining for the international community right now collective punishment. You're saying until Hamas acts differently, the two million people in Gaza are going to be treated this way. And once Hamas acts differently, these two million people in Gaza will be treated better. That is exactly what collective punishment is. You're holding them accountable for the actions of others. That is the definition, the textbook definition of collective punishment, sir. Now you may accept that that's what you want to do, but this is absolutely a contravention of international law. Well, I'll tell you exactly. No, had we pushed them to the wall, we're not pushing them to the wall. We want to open a humanitarian corridor so they can leave. But if Hamas- So that who can leave? So that who can leave? Citizens? You're saying civilians can leave but only through the Ra'fab border, correct? At this point? Yes, because where else? Your country! They can come into Israel! I'm telling you one more thing I want to say. I want you to address that point. Don't just smile, sir, respectfully. You're saying you're making a corridor. They can go to Egypt. You're bombing them. You say you want to save them, but they can't come in. First of all, I'm not smiling. I'm crying in my- unbelievable. He smiled at the idea that Israel dare admit some Ghazan refugees. Now, I also have to point out that that level of journalistic integrity and pushback is not very common. We almost never see that. And if you're wondering why we don't see that more often, it's because journalists are either ignorant or more likely they're scared into complicity. Because before he joined Al Jazeera, Mark LeMond Hill actually worked for CNN before he was fired for condemning Israeli apartheid. Now, this is pretty common. Others have had the same fate, like Jewish journalist Katie Halper, who was fired from the Hill for condemning Israeli apartheid. Even MSNBC, an outlet generally trusted by liberals, has quietly sidelined three prominent Muslim hosts, all of which have condemned Israeli apartheid. This includes Ali Velshi, Mehdi Hassan, and Ayman Moyeldin. Now, even though MSNBC vehemently denies that they've silenced their Muslim hosts, we have absolutely no reason to believe them at all, considering their history of silencing hosts who condemn wars. I'm of course talking about Phil Donahue. I'm talking about Jesse Ventura. So if you're wondering why reporting on this issue is so bad, why there's so much propaganda, that's why. It's because reporters risk losing everything if they do the bare minimum and condemn apartheid or genocide. And when pundits are bullied into silence and complicity and journalists also are struggling on the ground to get the news out due to a lack of electricity, well, it's easy for Israel to control the narrative. But even those who are trying to do their best on the ground, they struggle because there was one journalist who was reporting and during his live report, an Israeli police officer got on camera and threatened him all because he suspected negative coverage. Yeah. Yeah. just brazen. Now on top of that, because Al Jazeera, for example, is one of the few outlets with on-the-ground reporting and they're successful and they're able to cut through Israel's propaganda, well there's talks of them getting banned, at least this is what some Israeli cabinet members have floated. But despite censorship and attempts at censorship, ignorance is still no excuse because on-the-ground reporters are doing a great job, regardless of the circumstances. And even though it's more difficult, many of them are able to broadcast human rights abuses in 4K. And even though it's difficult to watch, I think that it's really important that we don't look away because we need to understand the gravity of this situation. And I want to show you an example of that. So BBC aired this report from a Gazan reporter. And even though it's disturbing, this needs to be seen because BBC, they've done some terrible reporting on this issue. Some of their pundits in particular have made very tone-deaf comments. But this right here is very important because you're seeing firsthand what it's like to live in Gaza. My name is Adnan El-Borj, a reporter for BBC Arabic and resident of Gaza. Here in Eshifa Hospital, bodies lay everywhere. The injured scream for help. You can never forget these sounds. Among the dead and wounded, my cameraman Mahmoud has seen his friend Malik. Malik has managed to survive. But his family have not. This is my local hospital. Inside are my friends, my neighbors. This is my community. Today has been one of the most difficult days in my career. I have seen things I can't never on say. This young girl's home was destroyed. Her relatives have been killed and she needs help. My daughter is the same age I want to give her a hug. In the kiosk, we try to understand what is going on. A mother called Um-Muhammad sits next to the bodies of her family. We were sleeping and they bombarded our house like everyone else. We don't have any resistance fighters in our building. All the building is full of residents. 120 people live there. The corridors of Eshifa Hospital are filled with bodies. The more can no longer come. The bodies of the dead have to be laid on the floor outside the hospital entrance. You never want to become the story. Yet in my city, I feel helpless. As the dead were given no dignity and the injured are left in pain. I've known it before, BBC News Gaza. Just a reminder here, Western governments know that this is happening. Both Democrats and Republicans, they know that this is the reality on the ground. But yet the overwhelming majority of them choose to remain silent. Silent in the face of genocide. The international community. Most Western governments also have chosen to remain silent. And in doing so, they failed Palestinians. I genuinely believe that this is going to be a moment in the future where we look back and we say, how did we let this happen? How were so many Western governments silent in the face of an entire group of people getting erased off the face of the earth? Ethnic cleansing, genocide, apartheid. How did we let this happen? It's despicable. Now the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, she has previously rightfully condemned collective punishment against civilians, specifically the shutting off of electricity when Russia did it. When they did it to Ukraine. But now, can you guess what she's saying about this? Nothing. Israel's doing the same to Gaza, but crickets. War crimes are perfectly... Okay, if it's being done to Palestinians, but anyone else? Not okay, we're going to condemn that. Now on Twitter, user Zsquirrel shared a video from December of last year of a member of Irish parliament, Richard Boyd Barrett, and he was confronting her over this hypocrisy. And I don't know anything else about his politics, but what I do know is that what he's saying here is really spot on. And I wish that more people would do what he's doing. Because this moment requires this boldness. So I'm going to leave you with his comments. I really have to wonder about the consistency of the ethics of EU foreign policy. It is utterly, utterly unconscionable that we can say on the one hand, we must and we must investigate the war crimes and atrocities of Vladimir Putin and remain silent. As you did when you spoke in June in Israel beside the Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett and did not say a word, not a word after we've had two devastating reports by Amnesty International, by Human Rights Watch of 70 years of ongoing crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, the siege of Gaza, a 15-year-long criminal action. Do we talk about investigating the war crimes of Israel? No. Do we sanction Israel for these crimes as we've sanctioned Russia? No. Instead, we continue to give them favoured trade status, import huge amounts of gas from Israel, deepen the relations, and engage in considerable military and defence trade with the state that is doing this to the Palestinians.


who you are about to meet with me in this emergency room every morning. Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. I think I counted eight grandchildren. John Bossos was a fearless warrior and a military legend who demonstrated exceptional leadership and valor during both the Korean conflict and the Vietnam conflict. He evacuated them one at a time to a point on the reverse slope. During my lifetime he was the Army's most gifted order. He was able to inspire and motivate like the Army's leadership asked him to develop a program to train division and corps commanders in their stance. Let me say it, bring it along. Three of us are team bosses. One, two, three, team bosses!

It sucks because it's a betrayal of trust. And I think it's important to delve into this conversation because the reality is these days, most relationships are built on a weak foundation. I'm gonna repeat that. Most relationships these days are built on a weak foundation. And so if a foundation of trust is rather weak, then it's gonna be difficult to build a more, to build a healthy, happy relationship if we don't understand the importance of what makes a healthy, happy relationship, particularly in the area of trust. And while we oftentimes think of trust in the area of fidelity, I think it's more important to lean into the conversation of trust. And that is, can I trust this person to care about my feelings as much as my own? I'm gonna repeat that. Can I trust this person to care about my feelings as much as my own? Now, I don't mean in the sense of giving your power away to another person. However, I think what's sadly missing today in most relationships is the skills to build a healthy, happy relationships because these days, well, let me backtrack. I was about to say these days. Most relationships throughout history have been built on the notion that chemistry equals relationship success. I need to repeat that. Chemistry equals relationship success. And yet what we've learned, at least what I have learned for me personally in my studies as a dating relationship coach is that relationships need some other additional components to actually build trust with one another. You need to share relatively the same values in their relationship. You need to have lifestyles that are blendable with one another. And most importantly, you need to be with someone who's emotionally mature enough and has relationship skills to navigate the storms that are going to happen within a relationship. That's right. Relationships are gonna have storms. And sadly, when some of these storms arise, people gravitate towards seeking companionship connection or sex with someone else because they don't have the tools to actually lean into a healthy, happy relationship. And this is sadly what's some of the reasons why we are seeing infidelity. So rampant, partially because access to people because of these devices has made it so much easier for people to be unfaithful in a relationship. And the other notion that comes from these devices is there is a plethora of opportunities out there to engage. See, I think today most people don't understand genuine true commitment. Not when I say people, I'm saying this as a generalization, but I really believe the real deep roots of commitment that kind of existed back when this is a picture of my mother and father 60 years ago, roughly, yeah, no, 70 years ago, that's a picture of them. Commitment stood for something back then. And so when it stood for something, it meant we are going to work through our problems. And yet these days, people don't work through their problems and it's so easy to actually choose an escape by leaning into a relationship or a sexual relationship with someone else because they're not actually working on the problems within a relationship. Look, I'm here to say most healthy, happy relationships don't have to, it's not like going to the gym and doing heavy reps and sets to build the muscles. You know, when you share the same values with the person where your lifestyles are blendable and the person you're with has a strong sense of introspective work or emotional maturity, you don't have to do a lot of heavy lifting. And yet we are here in the United States are a rather dysfunctional society of human beings and it's easier to cheat or be with someone else than actually work through some of the, listen, there are no two people perfectly aligned for one another. I mean, let's be real. The work oftentimes has to do with working on oneself instead of expecting the other person to change. And yet here, when couples go to therapy, do you know what they do? They do this, it's his fault, it's her fault, it's his fault, it's her fault. They're pointing the finger at the other person and they're not looking in the mirror of how can they navigate this dynamic by improving from within? This is why I'm such a big proponent of people doing the inner work in the early stages of dating by doing the heavy lifting before you actually enter into a relationship. This is why I continually recommend the book to heal childhood wounds and traumas is reading the book, The Hoffman Process, The Hoffman Process. And by the way, all the books I recommend there's a link below to them. Why I recommend this is because if you haven't done work on yourself, it's gonna be difficult to actually lean into a relationship where there's genuine fidelity with one another. So I think when I think of infidelity or cheating, I ask myself, why would someone cheat? Why would someone step out on another person in a relationship? Why would that happen? Most likely they're unhappy in some way, shape, or form. Probably they're most unhappy with themselves. They actually lack a bit of self-love within themselves. This is why I wrote my book and I always pitch books what the heck a self-love anyway, a journey of personal development, self-help and spiritual work. But I think one of the primary reasons is that the person internally, look at, there are definitely men and women out there that are sex addicts, that literally need their next fix sexually from another person. So that definitely exists out there. But I think most of the time when people cheat is because they're missing something from an emotional perspective. And in their relationship, it's not nurturing the heart-centered aspects of the relationship. Or worse, somebody is being unfaithful and the other person isn't being nurtured and they're beating themselves up. I see this women with women habitually, they beat themselves up in the process because they feel like they're in a relationship that isn't working together. Folks, I'm here to encourage a different way to approach relationships. And that is through radical honesty and beginning the dating process right from the get go by hardballing the person, by interrogating them, by asking deeper questions instead of the surface level questions. This is why I continually recommend the book, Eight Dates by Doctors John and Julie Gottman before the penis ever goes inside the vagina so you can talk about the most important chapter one. Here, let's open up chapter one so you can see this. What's it say right there? Lean on me, trust and commitment. Trust and commitment. When you build a foundation of a relationship on trust and commitment, it's less likely that they're going to want to step out on the relationship. Is this making sense? Is this resonating with you? Please let me know. Please hit that like button. Please subscribe to my channel. Please share this with your friends if there's anything that I'm sharing that resonates with you.  Now before, okay, I'm doing another off a tangent, Jonathan. I wanna recommend a book. This book is called Chatting or Cheating, the subtitle, How to Detect Infidelity, Rebuild Love and a Fair Proof Your Relationship. This book was written by my ex-girlfriend, Dr. Sherry Myers. There's a picture of her right there. And in this book, I was actually part of her, I was help, well, when I say I was helping her, here, this is, she wrote my note to me on this book, but I wanna share with you what she wrote to me personally in the book. She said, Jonathan Asley, who lovingly encouraged, pushed and unconditionally supported me throughout every step of the process writing this book. Thank you for shining your beautiful heartlight, holding down the emotional fort, continually believing in me. You showed me firsthand what it means to live the words, I'm here, you matter, we're important. I'm so grateful. And that's why I wanna plug her book today. By the way, all the books I recommend is in the description under Jonathan recommends books. I think this would be a great book. By the way, what I love about this book also is that the last half of the book is about how to a fair proof your relationship. It literally is a road map to building a healthy, happy relationship. So I highly recommend checking out Dr. Sherry's book. Okay, so some of the signs that he's about to, before he cheats. And I think women ignore this all the time. Number one, he jumps when his phone rings or there's a, he jumps when there's a notification. Now, while that is kind of the norm for human beings today, you see it as kind of a new pattern that you've noticed that there's a quick reaction to the phone. This is kind of a new phenomena we've experienced because we didn't have these smartphones a decade or so ago, but when a person immediately jumps to their phone and is hiding or secretive of it, there's a chance, now this isn't of itself isn't infidelity, but this might be a sign that there's some unfaithfulness going on. Number two, he begins to do what I call micro-disappearing, micro-disappearing. In other words, you notice that all of a sudden he disappears for a short period of time. And again, this is, you're seeing a shift in patterning. He disappears for maybe two or three hours and not that you might be physically witnessing them, but you get that sense that there's a disconnect between the two of you. You start noticing a pattern of what I call micro-disappearing. Number three, his behavior starts to change. Guys who cheat feel guilty and sometimes they compensate it for it by all of a sudden buying you gifts. Or on the other hand, if he has no feelings or compassion, he may make you suffer by giving you less attention than the before. So the behavior begins to change. He might become confrontational. He might become argumentative. He might just start picking at things with you. That could be a sign that there's either infidelity or certainly when behavior changes, that means there's a shift going on in your relationship. Have you ever experienced this before? Have you noticed any of these? Post a comment below. I'd like to hear what you've experienced in the way of noticing a shift in someone's behavior. Number four, he's acting emotionally distant or moody. So earlier the behavior, it's their actions, but now it's their emotional awareness. You just start feeling them emotionally distant. They're not as affectionate as they used to be. They're not complimentary as they used to be. They become moody and emotionally distant.  Usually things related to time or places where he's been. Again, these are usually related because when you're unfaithful, now here's where it's tricky. If you're in a long distance relationship, it's hard to monitor any of these things. And by the way, since a significant percentage of the population is in long distance relationship, it's hard to observe these, but certainly when you're in a day-in-day-out relationship, there's inconsistencies when it comes to time or where a person has been, places they've been. And lastly, oh, my voice just changed. And lastly, your spider senses are tingling. Now, oftentimes our spider senses tingle because we're in a state of fear and we are oftentimes not loving on ourselves. So we make up stories and our headwhite might be going on. But at the same time, you'll notice that when there has been infidelity, there's an intuition that something is off in the relationship. There's something off in the relationship. So what's the antidote to all of this? Well, the antidote to all of this is first, beginning a relationship on a strong foundation of emotional intimacy. It's one of the things I teach in my private coaching. And if you'd like to schedule a call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you, I highly recommend clicking on the link right there, Jonathan, or in the description below. Schedule a free discovery call with me. But coming back to emotional intimacy, I think most human beings these days are terrible at really connecting with each other at a heart-centered level. This is why I continually recommend the book If the Buddha Dated.  Look it, we're a dysfunctional society. Stop expecting men to be good at this process. Most men are good guys, they're just bad daters. And one thing an area men are typically weakened is in the area of emotional intimacy. So check out this book by Robert Masters, a comprehensive guide for connecting with the power of your emotions. Because when you become a master at this, you can invite it into your relationship. But Jonathan, I want a man who's already fully trained. Well, good luck on that, okay? Listen, most men connect to their heart has... Listen, most... Okay, look at growing up, my mother and father were terrible at teaching me emotional intimacy, okay? They had poor emotional maturity between themselves. So the only way we're gonna connect with someone is through, for us men, is through another woman. And I can tell you, Dr. Sherry, the person I talk about in this book, she was a big instigator for helping me connect with my heart that I didn't know existed before. So ladies, you can be the driving force of helping a man connect to with his heart. Also, you can be the container of the relationship. By the way, reading her book, How to Affair Proof Your Relationship, I wanna just tell you some of the chapters. Intimacy Rescue Kit, Love Boosters and Bolsters, Seven Ways to Vaccinate Your Relationship. It's interesting, she used the word vaccination. Relationship Vision Roadmap. All of this is designed to really, seven fun ways to affectionately explore touch, stroke, stroke passion, flames, affection, appreciation, quality time, all of this is in her book. I highly recommend checking this out so you can build, you know the foundation to build a happy relationship with someone. Where's my Barbara DeAngelis book? Oh, here it is. Here's another great book. I highly recommend checking this out by Barbara DeAngelis, How to Make Love All the Time. This is a great book to learn the mechanics to building deeper love so you don't have to worry about someone stepping out on you. Folks, listen, it's gonna take work. The work is knowledge. The knowledge is understanding the mechanics to a relationship. If you're not being, if you're not prepared, what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. That's where our society is at today in relationship.  I'm not a master at it, I've just studied it so I know more than the average person.  I had no idea how, by the way, in my marriage, I had no idea how to be a good husband. All I knew was my job was to be the provider protector. I didn't know what it took to be a good husband. Somehow I thought magically getting married would solve that problem, but it didn't because I didn't know who I was as a person and I was riddled with deep-seated wounds for my childhood. And then going through the divorce caused even more emotional wounds because it was an unraveling of the tapestry of my old life and I wasn't prepared until I started reading these books. I didn't know how to effectively communicate. In fact, if you haven't read the book, Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, by the way, this should have been called Compassionate Communication. It's a guide to learn how to connect with people at a much, much more heart-centered level. Is this sinking in, folks? Please let me know. So just as a reminder, six signs guys give before they cheat, he's jumping at his phone. He begins to micro-disappear. His behavior starts changing. He's actually acting emotionally distant or moody.  And number six, your intuition is already screaming at you. Those are really good signs that someone is about to be unfaithful with you. Again, a topic that I don't relish talking about and yet I think it's so important to lean into this every now and again so we don't get caught in the wrong relationship. And my hope is I encourage you to look at relationships differently so you don't operate from nativity and you operate from a place of empowerment. Is this sinking in? Is this resonating? Please let me know. All right, this is time for our Q&A. Those who know my format know this is a time to ask me questions. You can ask me personal questions or you can ask me questions about what we talked about or any other question thereafter. If you have a question, simply write the word question then post the question thereafter or purchase a super sticker super chat. There's a little dollar sign in the chat box or if you're listening to the replay there's a super thanks button. All the monies from the super sticker super chat goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son Connor as like, that's a picture of him right there. That's my son who passed away four years ago and in his honor I started a scholarship fund to defray the cost of personal development for folks and to donate to causes like the Hoffman process and insight seminars. And as I shared recently, we donated $500 from the fund just recently. So again, use that little dollar sign in the chat box. Hey, we just got one from Pam, a super sticker. Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I saw earlier we had one from Melanie, big hugs to you Melanie. Thank you so much for that super sticker. Let's keep them coming. I'd like to donate some more money. All right, Brenda writes, question. How do you get your intuition back after shut? Shut? I think after you've been hurt. You know, it starts by practicing little things to help with your intuition. I think that ultimately the antidote is really leaning into, in fact, here, let me, my book, there's a chapter in here in my book called What the Heck is Self-Love Anyway. Then there's a chapter in here. What is the chapter? I forget the chapter name. It's about intuition. Well, all of my book is designed to amplify your intuition, okay? So all of the chapters here are designed to amplify your intuition. So check out my book. I'm making a plug, but it's, you know, it's 11 bucks, go to Amazon, check it out. I think that will help with your intuition. So thank you so much for your question, Brenda. I really appreciate it. Okay, Robin asks, question. Can you give us an update on your new relationship? How did you travel together? Well, it turns out my girlfriend, as we speak right now, is in Africa with her daughter. She's doing a safari. So we're gonna be, we've been apart, we will be apart collectively just three weeks a day from, by the time we see each other again. We traveled, I was in Chicago just a week and a half ago. We traveled to Cancun. We did great on the trip together. My birthday trip did kind of suck. I will tell you, the resort was a little underwhelming and I got food poisoning the day of my birthday, which that kind of sucked. I spent more time in the bathroom that evening than where I should have been spending or where I wanted to be spending. Let me just say that. But our relationship is progressing very nicely. We are fully committed in this relationship. We are exploring the idea of living together. I mean, that is actually on the table right at the moment. And I think if you're gonna do a long-distance relationship, you need to have a plan of how you're gonna merge your lives together. And we've spent a lot of time processing that. In the first 90 days that we were in relationship, we spent collectively 40 days of those together, actually 24-7 through those, not 40 days cumulatively, not all in a row. And I think what's made our relationship, what I'd like to think real is because we dove right into the deep end right from the beginning. I know there's a lot of, it's dangerous to really dive in very quickly. But I've been thinking about something lately. And by the way, a couple of her reality TV shows that she got me into is a 90-day fiance and arranged, which is about arranged marriages. And what I thought was unique about these relationships is they dive in to explore this relationship, the good, the bad, the ugly, very quickly. And I wonder if there isn't some value to that. So I was sharing with a dear friend of mine today who I've known 17 years, who I met through a dating app. We had a first date 17 years ago, actually this very same month or last month, I should say. And it wasn't a love connection, but we just developed a friendship. And so over the years, we've witnessed our relationship journey. And she's in a great relationship right now. They've been together four years, they're moving in together. But we were talking about her previous boyfriend. I'll explain why I'm talking about this. So I was sharing how I might be moving in with my girlfriend. And I said, well, what would have happened? She was in a three-year relationship with a guy. And I said, what would have happened if you moved in with Jim right from the beginning? And she goes, that relationship would have lasted three months. And I started to laugh, but I thought about that for a second. Imagine that if we actually, and I'm not recommending this, I'm just exploring the idea. What if we dove in head first, both people dove in head first to see if they're a fit with one another instead of this long drawn out process of dating? You know, I mean, people spend years dating one another without any intentionality of taking it to the next level. So it's no wonder people find themselves cheating as I talked about in this broadcast, but more importantly, find themselves going from one relationship to the next to the next. Maybe we should dive in. You know, think about it. It used to be in my parents' era. If you wanted to get laid, you had to get married. You made the ultimate commitment right from the get-go. What if maybe there's some value to that? I'm not saying there is. The challenge is when we're meeting total strangers, it's hard to feel trust. That's the real issue today is how to build trust with one another. How do you build trust? Social activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends, traveling together, teamwork, building skills, both in your personal and professional life, intimacy, both physical and emotional intimacy, and probably spending on average two, three or four days a week together over a short period of time. You know what, maybe that would be the better way to go. I'm not saying it is. I'm just offering it as a suggestion. My relationship, we dove right in, head first. Seems to be working for us, but we were both committed to wanting to get to know one another. We were committed that we wanted a fully committed, we were in agreement that we both fully wanted a committed relationship and we recited my dating vows. We both agreed to the following. We agreed to explore the process of getting to know one another with the intent to declare something serious within the next, within three to six months. We declared it serious right from the get-go. Number two, we agreed to be monogamous sexually while we're having regular sex together. We agreed to not actively seek and meet and date others while we're in the process of getting to know one another which included taking down our dating profiles. We also agreed to speak up if this isn't working for us versus pulling back, ghosting or disappearing. And lastly, we made an agreement to invest regular time together because without spending significant regular time together, you are oftentimes with a stranger and when you're with a stranger, how can you build trust with one another? Trust is built, as I said, doing social activities, hobbies, mutual interest, spending time with family and friends. Is this sinking in? Please let me know, hit that thumbs up. All right, thanks again for that question. I hope I answered your question about what's going on in my relationship. I'm in love. I'm in love with her and I believe she's in love with me. There's a picture of my sweetheart right there. That's when she was in India. It's one of my favorite pictures of her. So thank you so much for asking. Hey, I wanna thank New You for the $4.99 super sticker. DDS, where are your parents' country that they come from? My parents were born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. That's right, Istanbul, Turkey. All right, Mocha writes, question. I'm okay, I don't know if I'm pronouncing right.  We are not divorced and in our 70s.  Well, first you establish your standard.   By being, you know what? I love the book, Why Men Love Bitches. Bitch stands for babe in total control of herself.  That's how you get them to change. Read this book, by the way, not everything in this book I agree with, but I love the empowerment element of this book.  And yet, sadly, most women give their power away to men.  You're afraid to speak your truth with him. When the relationship ends, all you do is focus on him instead of yourself. You're waiting for him to initiate contact.   If that's the way you're operating, then you're setting yourself up for failure by giving your power away to men. So let's all stay it together. Jonathan, I invite in a relationship where we have mutual chemistry with one another and we both can communicate with one another in a heart-centered way and we're compatible with one another because we can blend lives with one another and we share the same values and we have the emotional maturity to go deeper and I invite that into my life. I invite my next relationship. Okay, I'm pausing here for a second because what I really wanna lean into, I invite in a juicy, delicious, healthy, happy relationship where I retain my power, I retain my sovereignty, my self-worth, my self-esteem, my self-confidence and I do not give my power away to anyone else. God, universe, spirit, I invite in that juicy, delicious, healthy, happy relationship. Or is this sinking in? Please let me know. All right, woo, we got lots going on here. Let me go back here. Brenda says, I'll order your book. Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Gina says, my late husband knew of all my language, my love language plus more, he truly loved me. Is it unrealistic to want the same in a new relationship? I think if you want a man to learn your love language, you're gonna have to tell him. So if you can't tell him, then it's definitely unrealistic to expect it. But if you can tell him, it's quite possible, he'll be able to meet it. So tell him your love language. All right, Melanie, do you think it wouldn't, it would make, do you think it wouldn't have made a difference your relationship not started long distance, meaning you were not looking for it? So it took the pressure off and you formed a friendship first. Great question. So it's kind of interesting because we've talked about this. I think what happened was we met romantically on a dating app, but I wasn't interested in her partially because of the distance and some differences we had over the phone. But we began a friendship for a year before we actually met one another. And I think that friendship built a foundation of trust between us because we were, we were on each other's social media. She would comment on my posts. I'd comment on her posts. I would see what's happening with her children. She would see what's happening in my world. Now, interestingly enough, she didn't watch any of my videos. In fact, to this day, she still doesn't watch one of my many of my videos, partially because she's like, I don't need your videos, I got you in person. But what I think, what allowed us when we met, we were just meeting as friends. We weren't meeting from a romantic perspective, which took a ton of pressure off. Now, I don't believe it was the distance per se, although I have to take that into equation because look at, I told her right up front, I didn't wanna do a long distance relationship and believe me, I still don't to this day, don't recommend them. It's rare that they ever work. And if it wasn't for her desire to move out here, I wouldn't have considered it whatsoever. But yeah, I think, but I think if we'd met here right from the get-go, it's hard to say, but I also believe that, listen, I believe she's my soulmate. I'm a junkie for that kind of stuff. So I believe in, if you haven't read the book, Spiritual Partnership by Gary Zukoff, I highly recommend reading this book. I do believe she is a true soulmate in my life. We were meant to connect with one another. So the timing and the circumstances happened exactly as it should have. Now, had we met here, would it have happened the same way? Hard to say. I don't know. Possibly. I think if you are soulmates, it would happen, but it happened exactly how it should have. So that's my two cents on that, Melanie. Thank you so much for that question. All right. Linda says, I love listening to each of your sessions. I love it when you're half bomb. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Chris says, question, do you recommend texting a person you're interested in throughout the day while dating? I think incessant communication eventually puts pressure on the relationship because, okay. So I think I mentioned in the earlier that my girlfriend is in Africa right now with her daughter and we're in Communicado for a while. And I love it. I absolutely love it because you know what? Talking on the phone every night becomes exhausting. I am a person that wants to be physically in the presence of my partner and not talking on the phone.  And certainly when you're in the hyped up phase of wanting to have sex with someone, you'll talk to them every minute of the day. But trust me, from a relationship perspective, I think you're setting yourself up for failure for incessant communication. That's my two cents on that, Chris. So thank you. Let's see. Gina says, my ex-husband truly loved me and we knew all my love languages and treated me as a queen. Is it unreal? Well, you already asked that or I already answered that question. Brenda says, Bobby, I say dump him, but ask Jonathan right now. Okay, I gotta find Bobby's message. Chris says, Mr. Jonathan, we are working people don't have time to see each other three or four days a week. Well, okay, do you want a part-time relationship that is always part-time? Do you want, if you want to eventually live with someone or get married, but you're only capable of a part-time relationship, when is it ever gonna turn into a full-time relationship? Folks, the reality is this. The more time two people spend together, the deeper roots of trust they build in the relationship. And the further time apart, there's more chance of the relationship falling apart. It's like building, it's like weaving a tapestry together. It is through regular time together, social activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends that you can build the deep roots of trust. So if you don't have time, I guess the question is, do you want to live with someone or get married? If you don't, then enjoy a part-time relationship and enjoy a part-time relationship and another part-time relationship and another part-time relationship and another part-time relationship. That's my two cents anyway. Thank you so much for asking. Ah, Britt says, did you both introduce, question, did you both introduce each other's to names on your phone? And so, and so my ex-girlfriend, introduce. I don't understand the question, Bridge, if you could rewrite it so I can understand it. All right, if you're talking about my girlfriend and I, did we introduce each other's names on your phones? I don't get the question.  Do you ask men their size?   Most guys are average, you know, yes, there's some that have bigger, some that have smaller, most guys are average from what I understand, but that's not my area of expertise. I would Google that at the Johnson and Masters or something like that. Okay, let's keep going. Celeste says, Jonathan, when did you get married the first time? I think right, was I 29 years old or was I 27? Let's see. No, I was 29 years old when I first got married. Cher said, what dating app did you meet on? She and I both met on match.com and I used the website, not the app version. So we met on match.com. Which app do you recommend? I recommend Bumble and I also recommend Hinge. Hinge is a good app. Here we go, Celeste says Hinge. I think that's probably one of the best apps today. Okay, let's keep going. Let's keep going. All right, do we have any questions? Hey, if you have a question, purchase a super sticker, super chat, makes it easier for me to find. I really appreciate that. Okay, Jenny says, my boyfriend and I don't live together but he's great one minute, but he is great one minute and the next will be like blows me off and acts depressed and doesn't wanna talk, it drives me crazy. He's almost 50 and I'm 38. Jenny, I'm sorry you're experiencing that. Shit happens when two people aren't developed. Listen, folks, I highly recommend, by the way, I have someone who just emailed me today. They said, Jonathan, I took your advice. I purchased the book, eight dates. I started reading with the guy I'm dating. It has actually brought us closer together. This book is a plethora of amazing information to help build a stronger union within two people because it gives you the outline to create that stronger union. So check out the link to a free discovery call or excuse me to the Jonathan recommends books. All right, I think this will be a great place to wrap up today. I hope you had value, found value in the six signs he's about to cheat on you. I'm just gonna repeat them really quickly. He's jumping when his phone rings. Number two, he begins to micro disappear. Number three, his behavior changes. Number four, he's acting emotionally distant or moody.  And lastly, your gut is telling you something's wrong. Listen to the quiet voice inside of you. Also, I highly recommend checking out Dr. Sherry's book, chatting or cheating. It's a great book to help you be prepared if infidelity might happen in your relationship. All right, and the last thing is the question is, what is the birth sign of your girlfriend? She is a, wait, May, June. Yeah, Gemini, Gemini, I almost forgot that. All right, I think this would be a great place to wrap up this video. As I'm gonna first do what I always do.  Oh, wait, I forgot to say, listen, if you found value in this, please hit like, please subscribe to my channel. Please share this with friends. Check out the links in the description. Oh, check out a free discovery call with me. And now I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do.  I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone, a pet, a teddy bear pillow, and give Iter them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. I wanna thank Brenda and Renee and Celeste and Jennifer and Lynette and Envy and Sherry and Jenny and Bridge and Celeste and Papa share. And let's see who else. New Port, new you.
