Good evening. This is Sergeant X. They say that ghosts and the like just don't exist. But when a person passes on, he just lies quietly, not bothering another soul, so to speak. You believe that, don't you? Well, did you ever hear about the skull that walked? No? Then listen, my friends, to the mystery playhouse. I guess superstition is a pretty hard thing to down completely, isn't it? I mean, under certain circumstances almost anybody can get the creeps and get them good.  For instance, taking a midnight stroll through a graveyard isn't exactly your idea of fun, is it? I don't suppose you'd particularly go into ecstasies if you happen to witness a good, gory murder, either. Well, there's a fellow I know who thinks this all comes under the heading of good, clean fun. His hobby is horror, and he likes to tell stories along those lines. I think he has one for you right now. Wait till I try this door here. Good evening, friends of the Inner Sanctum. This is Raymond, your host. Well, come in, won't you? Yes, how are your spirits this evening? Oh, glad to hear that. Our spirits are fine too. Would you like to see them? Oh, it's no trouble at all. Now, if which would you care to see first? The spirit or the body? Oh, well, the body is right over there on the floor, and the spirit is right next to it. Oh, oh, you can't see it.  Shall we get started? Well, naturally. Now, turn out the lights. No, no, you won't see any ghosts in the dark, but they'll be able to see you. Far from town, there are a group of three hills. On the summit of the highest of them is the crew's estate, owned by two brothers, Arthur and Carl. At this moment, Carl and his wife Lucille are digging a hole at the entrance of the estate, planting young poplar trees. Carl, I think it's deep enough. Oh, I think we ought to go a little deeper down. Oh, here comes Spears. Spears? Yes, we're going to plant a whole row of long-body poplars. You mean right here? We're going to line both sides of the road. Well, perhaps you'd better let me do it. I'm your caretaker. I should do the gardening. Spears, you look upset. What's the matter? Well, the way you're digging is a no-lindian burial spot. There's a curse on it. Don't worry about it, Spears. You don't believe it? Lucille and I don't go in for superstition. Yes, but it's no superstition, sorry. It's a... You hit a rock. Sound like a rock? A little hollow. Dig it up, whatever it is. A skull? Spears is right. This place must have been an old Indian burial ground. Please put it back. No, I'll keep it. Carl, perhaps you'd better put it back. Please, please bury it again, Mr. Cruz. It will bring bad luck to all of us. No, Spears. That's just a silly superstition. Well, what about the rest of the skeletons? I don't know. It doesn't seem to be one. No. You bring it into the house, will you, Spears? I'd rather not. All right, I'll take it in myself. Don't either of you mention this to my brother, Arthur. He's terribly scared of things like this. He's just gotten over his nervous breakdown. Carl, perhaps you should put the skull back. What, Lucille? You're not being taken in by this whole come about curses, are you? That sounded like my wife, Mary. She was cleaning the windows. Well, she's unconscious. You must do something. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do, Spears.  She's dead. How's Spears? He's quieted down. I can't understand it. There's only one rock underneath the window, and Mary hit that. That one rock. There isn't even a pebble around for yards. Well, they'll go imagining things again, Arthur. Spears kept talking about a curse. Spears believes in pixies and gremlins too, don't forget. Well, I feel rather funny about it all. Oh, Carl, maybe you'd better switch some more lamps on. This living room feels gloomy. Oh, let's cut this nonsense out. Wait. You hear anything? Oh. I think it's coming from the ceiling. What's coming from the ceiling? I don't hear. It must be the beams. They sometimes do that from the heat. It's not the beams. It's too regular a sound. What room is directly above us? It's a store room now. It hasn't been open in years. Of course, there's a lot of old things from years back. Did you put the skull in the store room? Yes, I did. What are you two whispering of? So far. It came down the steps. It seems to be looking up at us. A skull? How did it get into the house? Carl found it while digging. Spears said it belonged to some Indian. Spears was right. I'm leaving. I can't stand it. What are you going to do with the skull? Lock it up in the closet. Lock it. Carl, you'd better bury it again. No, I can't do that, Lucille. If I do, it means I believe in all this tummy-rod about ghosts. Well, suppose you tell me how a skull could open a door and then come bouncing down the steps. Maybe someone's playing a trick, honestly. What happened to Mary was no trick, Carl. Nor is this, and you know it. Well, whatever it is, I'm not going to bury it. We'll keep it locked up in the closet. Oh, Mr. Cruz. Yes. What is it, Spears?  You're referring to the skull, aren't you? Yes, sir. Well, it won't bother us anymore.  I've got it safely hidden in this closet. I'm putting a lock on the outside. I'm not going to do any good, sir. It will break through the door, just like the last time. I don't think anything like that can happen again. I'm the only one that has a key to this lock. If the skull wants to break out, it'll have to come to me for the key. How are you feeling, Arthur? I'll never feel right in this house again. Oh, nonsense. Why don't you put a light on? Arthur, it's more of a good sitting here in the dark by yourself. We're all going to die. Don't be ridiculous, Arthur. Where is the skull? Where it can't get out. Tomorrow, I'll take it into town and let the police look at it. Tomorrow will be too late. Look, I'm getting tired of this. You've got to get hold of yourself, Arthur. You're completely the pieces. You think I'm a coward, don't you? Arthur, no.   Wait. There's someone at the door. I'll open it. I don't know. Someone came in. Something came in. I haven't put the light on. The skull, I can't believe it. You can't believe it. There it is grinning at you from the floor, but you can't believe it. You don't believe in these things. I put a lock on the door. Locks aren't going to help. Nothing is going to help. It's an hour later now. Arthur has gotten over his hysteria, but he is still terrified. I'm not going to spend another night in this house, Carl. But Arthur, there's got to be some logical explanation. I'm not in the least bit curious. I just want to get out of here tonight. I'm going to go with him, Carl. Lucille. Well, perhaps we'll bury it again. We'll put it back in the same place we found it. That won't do any good. It's too late now.  If it wants anything at all, it wants to get buried again. I'm sure all this mysterious business will come to an end as soon as we bury it. The house won't ever be the same. Well, stop it. Both of you.  We'll put the skull back where we found it, and we won't be bothered by it anymore. Spears. Spears. Yes, Mr. Cruz. This skull. Let's take it out and bury it in the same place where we found it. Oh, I'm glad you reconsidered, sir. It's the only way. I don't seem to remember the spot. Well, it's on the other side, sir, right near the entrance road. Oh, yes. Yes, sir. Here it is. But the hole. We dug. It's not here. I filled it in, sir. Oh, well, we'd better dig it up. Yes, sir. If you hold the skull, I'll dig it open. We might as well do it right. I know exactly how deep it was. Don't mind, Mr. Cruz. I'd rather not touch the skull. All right. Yeah, that's about right. There. Why don't we put the thing back? Well, it doesn't seem to want to go back. Oh, I just missed dropping it into the hole. Hold the flashlight down here. Yes, sir. That does it. Oh, I hope we'll have no more trouble. Well, calm. Did you bury it? Yes, same place. That's all. Forget about it, shall we? Maybe it's easy for you, Carl. But I won't forget about it for a long time. Neither will I. I'll be having nightmares about it for months. I don't know what's gotten into you, Lucille. You were never easily frightened. I'm not. But skulls that roll by themselves give me a funny feeling. Look, come on. Let's play cards. Hearts? We don't need more than three hands to play. We'll forget the whole crazy business, okay? I might as well. I can't deal the cards. Well, we're getting back to normalcy, huh? Arthur, pass your card. That wind came up suddenly. Who's first? You are, I see. Oh, all right. Nine of diamonds. You're go, Arthur. Come on, Arthur. Throw a card. I think I hear something. Of course you do. The wind? I thought I heard a rapping sound. Look, just pay attention to the game and stop listening for sounds. Here's my card. You threw club diamonds this suit. Oh, I'm sorry, Arthur. Did you hear that? What was that? It's only the wind blowing the shutter. Oh, come on. Let's play. Throw a card, Arthur. Someone at the door. It isn't the wind. Someone's outside. All right. I'll open the door. Sitting here frightened isn't going to do us any good. We've got to open the door. Don't open it, Carm. It was nothing. It's just the wind. You're lying.  I know. It's a scalp. It's come back.  Just the wind. Nobody was there. I'll see for myself. Mrs. Cruz, I didn't hear you knock. I didn't. I want to talk to you, Spears. Yes, Mrs. Cruz, but it's rather late. You've been up late before. Oh, yes, but it's just that I'm tired tonight. I don't mean to be rude. You've been doing a lot of night work. What are you referring to, Mrs. Cruz? Spears, you don't really believe in skulls that move around by themselves, do you? Well, I warned your husband about it. It's a curse. Is it part of a curse for a skull to use a trowel to unburry itself? Your trowel? My trowel? You're mistaken. No, I'm not. I just came from there. Why would I want to do anything like that? Why? That's why I'm here. I'd like to know why. Please, Mrs. Cruz, I'm tired. We'll talk about it in the morning. We'll talk about it now, Spears, right now. Get out of my room. I'm going straight to the police. I've got the trowel. You'll see if the skull left any fingerprints. You won't do that, Mrs. Cruz. Yes, I will. All right, Spears, just sit right where you are. I'll shoot. Please, put the gun down. Start talking. It's all a mistake. If you don't start talking, I'll shoot. In self-defense. Did you dig up that skull? Did you? Yes. Yes, I did. And you roll the skull down the steps. Well, it was only a joke.  Yes, but I... Who's skull is it? I don't know. You're lying. That skull has something to do with you. I checked up on it. Your first wife disappeared. Perhaps the police can identify the skull. Oh, please, don't go to the police. I... Well, it was my first wife, Jane. I killed her. I didn't want your husband to bring the skull to the police. So I tried to scare all of you away from here as the safest measure. Go on. Wait a minute. Who rolled the skull into Arthur's room? It wasn't me. It must have been... That's right. It was me. Perhaps you and I can work things out.  You see, Arthur is leaving tonight. Yeah. Perhaps we can help each other. No one has to know of our little conversation. No one is going to know. Well, now that we've both accomplished our purpose, maybe it would be the best thing to bury the skull again. Yes. We'll do it now. Here we are. Let's hurry. They'll miss me if I'm out here too long. Perhaps we'd better dig another hole. It doesn't matter. Will you hold the skull? No, I'd rather not. You haven't suddenly gotten squeamish, have you, Mrs. Cruz? Put the skull in the ground and dig that hole. What's the matter? Look at it. What about it? It's moving. Can't you see? It's just the wind pushing it. Hurry up. Yes. It's deep enough now. Hand me the skull. Oh, I forgot you and you won't touch it. All right, I'll get it myself. What's the matter? My hand. I can't get my hand out. The jaws. Clench down. Your hand. Please. Help me. You've got to help me. Do something. You've got to do something. It won't let go. I can't. Oh, please, Jane. Jane, darling.  You're my wife. I didn't mean it. It was an accident. Please, believe me. I'll do anything. Anything. Oh, no. No, Jane. He's turned completely white. He's just out of her mind. Died this morning. He never recovered consciousness. Died a fright. Everything else seems to make sense, but I... I don't understand how the skull could have clamped its jaws on his hand. When he picked it up, he must have picked it up upside down. The lower jaw, which swings on a hinge, came down. He was so frightened that his hand froze to the skull. The spears was just... frightened to death. You want that skull? Yes, sir. I want it as a knocker for the inner sanctum door. Good night. Pleasant. Thank you very much, friend Raymond. Your sense of humor is really quite refreshing. That is in a ghoulish sort of way. We'll be trying your creaking door again soon for some more laughs. Well, right now, let's look in on the green room where the players are rehearsing the next performance in the mystery playhouse. Follow me, please. Come. Say, Dexter, how does it feel to be both a spy-catching hero and a prospective bridegroom at the same time? At the moment, it feels like being the 13th sardine in a tin built for 12. The doghouse is always like this. Hey, finish your stories, Stanley, about Dexter reporting the term an agent. What's his name? Courts. Well, Dexter here figures that Courts is up to something, so he tips off the FBI. Hey, hey, you guys, take a look at that gal in the black dress. That's fine talk for a guy who's about to get married. Go on, Stanley. Dexter's only trying to change the subject. Well, following up Dexter's tip, the federal men trapped Courts. That was six weeks ago. So today, in three minutes, in fact, Courts is going to get quite a shock. Quite a shock. You mean they're going to... That's right.  You want to read the newspapers, Lieutenant, and find out about things. Well, when you've just got back from the canal zone, you're likely to neglect the newspapers for the first few days. Hey, the gal behind us. What did you say, Dexter? The gal behind us. Won the black dress. Oh. Mob's too thick. I can't even turn around to get a look at her. Hey, go on, Stanley. What was this Courts after? Plans of a new type mortar. Wasn't it, Dexter? Mortar? I can't say.  But it's taboo, I tell you. Well, don't get sore about it. Oh, who's sore? Come on, come on. Let's get out of this mob and find some less crowded joint, huh? I'll take it easy. Let's have at least one drink here, and now we've finally got to the bar. Oh, what the heck? What's the matter, Dexter? Did somebody step on your corns? Oh, no. It felt like someone stuck a needle in my hand, but the way I'm wedged in here, I can't even lift my hand to see.  Hey, Dexter, according to the clock on the wall there, Courts is being executed right this second. Say, it's kind of close in here. Let's get out and get some fresh air. Take a look in the mirror over the bar, Stanley. That woman behind me. That's what Dexter's been muttering about. The brunette in black. Smooth. Hey, do you know her? What makes you think I know her? Well, I thought she nodded at you. Just my natural good looks. I never saw her before in my life. It's kind of close in here. Let's get out. I can hardly breathe. I stopped clowning, Dexter. Quit leaning on me. I see it ain't Dexter. Just because he's going to be married. You shouldn't have mentioned marriage, Stanley. From the way he's leaning on me, he must have fainted. That's all her fright. Come on, Dexter. Take your weight off her. All I can do is take care of myself. This... Say, Stanley, he has fainted or something. No kidding. Dexter's a practical joke. No, this isn't a joke. He's all gray about the lips. Huh? Look at it. I mean, hold him. Oh, Dexter! Dexter! Dexter, what's the matter? Dexter! Lieutenant, is he all right? What's the matter with him? Is he all right? No. He isn't. I think he's dead. It's impossible. Is there a doctor here? Open his collar or something. Just don't let him lay there. Come on. Come on. Oh. Over here, Dexter. Dexter, please. Let the doctor through. Lieutenant, what on earth's happened? Mr. Dexter, maybe he can tell us. Hey, Dexter, go over here. Dr. Crowley. Yeah, let's have a look. Oh. Help me turn this man over. Sure. Come here. Looks like he's been suffocated, doctor. Is he dead? Yes, he's dead all right. They can't be. Only a minute ago, he was standing here talking with us. He said something about somebody sticking a needle in his hand. What's that piece of black paper on the back of his right hand? Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Hmm. It's thin black cardboard. Perfect circle, about a quarter of an inch in diameter. With a tiny hole in the exact center. Hmm. There's a small puncture in the skin on the back of the right hand. Right over the place where the circular piece of cardboard was. A drop of blood caused the cardboard to adhere to his hand. Somebody better call the police. The police? Why? Because it looks as if your friend here has been murdered. But Dexter couldn't have been murdered. I was standing right beside him all the time. No one's to leave. Everybody stay where you are. And you over there. Call the police department and ask for homicide. Detective Sergeant Locke, are you the doctor who called headquarters? Yes, that's right. Who's the guy on the floor? What happened to him? Willard Dexter. As to what happened to him? We don't know. What do you mean you don't know? Who was nearest Dexter at the time? Well, the lieutenant and I were with him. And I was behind him, and so was this lady.  How about that lady? Yes, I guess that's right.  We'll go in this office here. All right, and Doc, would you come along, too, please? Of course, Sergeant. All right, just step in there. All right, Blondie, you, too. Oh, I can't. I got a date in 10 minutes. Go on. Get in there. Am I arrested? No, I'm not. Look, Blondie, you will be in just about one second if you don't get in there. Oh, Blondie. Hey, Durgan, don't let anyone in here. We'll get a little privacy. Lieutenant, let's have your story first. Well, we were standing in the crowd. Your name? Lieutenant Max Lerbach. Okay, go ahead. Well, Stanley and Dexter and I were at the bar. In what order? Order? Oh, uh, well, Dexter was on the right. I was in the middle, and Stanley was on the left. All right, go on. Dexter said that someone stuck a needle in his hand, and suddenly he went limp and fell to the floor.  Under the disc is a small wound, and I've made a study of poisons. I believe that this man, Dexter, was poisoned. Poisoned? Yes. There's a poison which, taken internally, may do no harm at all, but the smallest bit introduced directly into the bloodstream causes almost immediate paralysis of the nerves which control the breathing. What poison? Carare. Huh? There's a trace of what seems to be Carare on the underside of that black cardboard disc. And you'll think he was murdered? It appears probable. Your idea, doctor, is that someone jabbed a poison-coated needle in the Dexter's hand? A minute or so before he collapsed. Oh, where would a guy get this stuff? Well, certainly not from the average drug store. Carare is made by the South American Indians. It's a very rare in this country. Say, Stanley, did you notice Dexter died at the same time courts was executed? See, I hadn't thought of that. What's that? Don't forget it. Yes, Sergeant. Dexter was the clerk in the Army Ordnance Department who suspected courts and tipped off the FBI. It couldn't have been a coincidence that they both died at practically the same minute. You don't suppose that... I don't suppose anything yet. Hey, Sergeant, photo and fingerprint boys are here. Right with you, Durgan. Now, everyone, just sit tight a minute. Say, that's a rather unusual way to kill somebody, don't you think? I wonder if that police sergeant is right. The killer really is one of those four people. Well, it's too bad our time is all up or we could stay around and find out. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until next time when we present the entire story of death in the doghouse. This is Sergeant X closing the doors of the mystery playhouse. Good night. Sleep tight. This is the Armed Forces Radio Service.


Okay, welcome everyone to our, actually this is a very special show. This is our United States Independence Day holiday week show, holiday week because since we do the show on usually on Saturdays or Sundays. So, you know, the July 4th will be this Tuesday. My mother's birthday and the birthday of United States of America. As you can see that's why I have this, this Independence Day ornament behind you. So happy birthday United States of America and my mother Rosemary. She was born July 4th, 1932. I'm not sure, what would that make her, 85, 86?  She just came home from having a bout with pneumonia for the second time in two years. So I'm keeping the air conditioner at a more reasonable temperature. I'm not blasting it like she was telling me to blast it, blast it, turn it up. I'm hot. I'm hot. And then she'll go, I'm cold, I'm cold, turn it on, turn it off. But you know, yeah, so it's a double birthday. Yes, she was born with a bang and after a bang, yeah, well, the bang come. Yeah, oh, yeah, eight months after the bang, actually nine months, nine months, it takes.  I don't know how to how to create it. I know a lot of young people today decide they all decide to keep the baby. So they, so they can, they think they can hook a man that way, they can hook the father and, and also hook some child support payments so they could stay at home and watch Maury Povich and then Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos, uh, General Hospital and no, and what's that other show? Uh, I think I, I think I cover the more Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, Steve Wilko, Steve Harvey and all those daytime programs. Thunder, Thunderdome, Steve Harvey, Thunderdome, he's in the new Thunderdome movie? Thunderdome. Oh, I think there is a new Mad Max, there is a new Mad Max movie out. Anyway, I am drinking the last of the two, uh, Great Lakes Brewery, Edmund Fitzgerald Craft Beer Porter, this is, uh, it is a Porter, Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, okay, then I will return to the, uh, less expensive, a Yenling Porter and Lagers and whatever. Hey, that's cold, man, that's good. It is cold. Did you try it? Did you try it? I got two drinks down already, very cold. Okay, Independence Day, uh, show, uh, I won't be here, um, well maybe I will be here. I'm leaving July 11th for San Diego, California and Baja, uh, on the 11th, so next Saturday will be, I don't know, next Saturday for 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th. I'll be here, I'll be here, seven lucky bells, four, before I forget, we're going live, progressive discussions is actually going live for the first time, right now, we're going live via YouTube, okay, in high definition for the holiday. We might not go high definition after that, but for the holiday we're going high definition and, uh, we're going live for the first time ever, seven lucky bells for this week's show. Everything we discuss politically, oh by the way, do you see everything, you see everything, camera man, is everything positioned properly, you see everything I'm holding, everything we discuss politically is part of our series, Crappitalism in a conch shell, there's the conch, alright, and God knows there's plenty of crappitalism with the Republicans in charge, especially with Donald Trump attempting to take away our voter rights, which to me is organized voter suppression. What do you think there, Billy Bones? Yeah, well exactly, but that is part of the Republican policies to take away rights. No matter who is president. So fascism is their goal, Corbyn Corbyn. Now is fascism automatically, by definition, a corporate oligarch? It is from Mussolini, by definition, by definition, okay, um, corporate, now I have to do something that I couldn't do last time, because we're going live, I have to introduce ourselves. I am, this is progressive discussions, I am your host James P. Madonna, and I am with my co-host and mentor, and the founder of Newsletter Sensors in 1977, the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman. How are you feeling this week, sir? Uh, I'm a little upset today. Me too, wait until I do my chiselous hall of shame, but you go first, you go first. It's not from something outside me, per se, it's with me. Uh, personal, it's personal, all right, let's, let's keep it, let's keep it, uh, personal. Yeah, sorry. Okay, now I might as well get right into, I gotta put my chilele somewhere, it's without messing up the show, because things are a bit different, now that we're going live, in high definition, for the Independence Day special show of 2017, oh, we're doing the show live from the Newsletter Sensors Research Center in Northeastern New Jersey. See before, when the show wasn't live, I had an introduction with music and everything at the beginning, so I didn't have to do this, but now I have to do it. I have to do it all, even the promo, I have to do the promo live and fresh. Do we have a sample copy of Sensored anywhere, anywhere reachable, no, no, okay, don't worry about it, um, I'll talk about it anyway, all right, chiselous hall of shame inductee, I would like to induct, um, Walgreens Pharmacy, shame on you, I would like to induct the WellCare Health Insurance Company, shame on you, and I would like to throw in Hackensack University Medical Center, uh, not a big chiselous hall of shame for them, but partial, they're going to get a partial chiselous hall of shame, okay, now, why do I say this? I say this because, uh, it is evident without a shadow of a doubt that the, uh, the American healthcare system is the, is the greatest and the worst racket that has ever been created in the history of mankind. My mother's, uh, antibiotic prescription, very strong prescription, called Amoxi, uh, Flock's Acin, 400 milligrams each, only three, and I repeat, only three tablets in the bottle, Walgreens Pharmacy wanted almost $40, uh, because why? Because her health insurance, WellCare, uh, says that they, you know, they, they refuse to cover it, they, they refuse to pay for it because it's a very strong antibiotic. No, they refuse to pay for it because they just don't feel like paying for it. What is the purpose of having, uh, for people having, let's say Medicare Part D or any coverage that normally pays for, uh, prescription drugs? What's the point in having it if they are going to take it upon themselves, not to pay for it? Did they, uh, advise a generic? That is the generic, uh, they wanted almost $40 for the generic, only three tablets. Now, now the lady that lives upstairs, uh, uh, Julia, uh, Julie, she, the drug she has to take is four tablets per month and they charge her $112. Come on, give me a break, talk about Highway Robbery. I mean, That is, Highway Robbery is built into the pharmaceutical system. Oh yeah, without a doubt. You see what happened with that guy Scalise, the CEO guy when he got in charge of the, uh, his company or whatever and he, he upped the price of the EpiPen. Oh yeah, remember that.   Just like, look at all photos of Bella Lugosi on the internet and then hold them side by side and Mitch McConnell when, when, you know, he was like, he was like salivating over the new Republican healthcare plan. Anyway, yeah, the EpiPen, I remember it well. Isn't that like, um, part of, um, the evil part of capitalism called buying low and selling high? Or having something that other people need, you're the only one who has it. Oh, price gouging people that are desperate. Yeah, and how you saw it in Katrina. Very clearly. Oh, the bottle of water. And they were happy about it. Oh, well, yeah, G.W. Bush was, uh, president at the time. They were, they were more than happy because it was pro, all the, all the supplies for the Katrina victims were from privatized sources. It wasn't the government supplying the drinking water and the food. Oh, you didn't want the government to do that. Oh, it had to be privatized. Of course. Government can't save you. Can't save you so. Oh, yeah. Well, they demonize government. Meanwhile, if it wasn't for, if it wasn't for socialism and government, we would probably wouldn't have a fire department. That's true.  And if you're not, if you're not up on your payments. Oh, they won't let their house. Are they want payments? Privatized. Anything privatized requires payment. Oh, so you got to pay them like the cable company?  Wow, fun ghouls. Not for Mr. Bank, Mr. Clinton for that. Oh, a Democrat. Bill Clinton being a little too appousy-wousy with. Took away our free TV. With New Gingrich. Oh, he's the one. Oh, okay. Took away our free TV. The so-called, the so-called progressive Democrat. Well, the neo-liberal Democrats, demon crats, I'm sorry. The DNC's neo-liberal demon crats of today are using the word progressive. Yeah, they are. A little too. A little too loosely. They're trying to. Yes. Yeah. I even took all the gray out of my hair for this special show. Well, what do you do? For my trip, too. Let's see how long it lasts. Just for men. Meeting brown.  Oh boy. And if it doesn't last, it will be inducted into the chiseless pool of shame. Next week. How long is it supposed to last? It should last until the hair grow. No, it's supposed to last until the hair grows out. Wow. What's the point in putting it in if it's going to come out during the following wash? There's no point in having it. Then I might as well use the strong 45 minute woman's formula, you know? Now, I have very stubborn gray hair. I might need the mustache and beard formula. Maybe. You ever see the met guy? Yeah. Oh, he looks all bloated. Oh, Keith Hernandez. Keith Hernandez. He's too dark. And Wolf. Was that Wolf Frazier? Keith Hernandez? I don't know, but Keith Hernandez looks too dark. Too dark. Fake. Give me like Kiwi shoe polish. Yeah. Yeah. It looks fake. Like in the old days, I'll be done. Yeah. Anyway, of course, I was, well, like I said before, I was reading an article about Donald Trump and I'm sure the Republican Congress is behind it trying to reduce voter rights, which is organized voter suppression. You know, Republicans, they love gerrymandering and they love voter IDs for poor minority people.  And I've been reading more articles about all the deadly toxins that are all around And except for countries that have refused to do this, there seems to be a worldwide trend towards mandatory vaccinations. And these vaccinations contain toxins like mercury and such. So, you know, and someone in some UN cunts, bitch, United Nations or NATO individual, I'm not sure what country she's from, but she says that the depopulation is a great idea. Why don't they start? If you want to depopulate. Why don't they start with her elitist family? Yeah. Instead of, well, of course she wants to depopulate the poor. What else would a person, Rolly and Doe, want to do if they're greedy and stingy and rich? Yeah. But let's see. Yeah. Oh, Atkinsack University Medical Center. Right. And partial Schisler's Hall of Shame inductee, because when my mother passed out, when she came down with pneumonia for the second time, not too long ago, I went to the visitors section. Well, the only visitors section, the only office, the only entrance, I'm sorry, that I can walk into is the intake section for adults in the emergency room. They have one pediatric for children. They have one entry for adults.  She's not even looking up, acknowledging my presence. Actually, no one was acknowledging my presence. I had to walk around to try to get somebody's attention and say, look, I'm not a patient here. Is it a relative who was just admitted into the emergency room? I'm a visitor. Nobody would answer me. So I went and sit down. I went to take a walk. Security says, who are you? Where's your ID? You know what? I says, well, nobody's paying attention to me in the intake room. I'm a visitor. I'm not a patient. So finally, this heavy set Black Lady comes in and writes me an ID badge. And then I, you know, the funny thing is if you're a patient, they make you wait a long time unless it's a real emergency, unless the ambulance brings you in. Well, who would think that a visitor would have to wait a long time also?   Somebody stole my wallet. You know, the episode of Seinfeld. You know, you make an appointment with a doctor, let's say your appointment is at 3 p.m. You're in the big waiting room. You don't see the doctor at 3 p.m. You might be sitting there for an hour. Then you go in the little room. The nurse comes in, takes your blood pressure and your heart rate.  Their time is more valuable than our time. Yes. Okay. I saw the Seinfeld episode when they were put in jail yesterday. Oh, that's the last one. Yeah. Oh, yeah, they wanted to, Kramer wanted to do a play in prison, live, live, birdie or something. I don't know. Yeah, you could play live, live, live.   Blow it out. He's the one that caused the plane to go down because he had, his ear was clogged and he was jumping up and down. But that was funny. Babu was there. You're very bad, buddy, you're very bad, but Babu was there. They had me deported. They deported him. Yeah. He had to come back. Well, actually, what Jerry told Babu was a great idea. He told him, why don't you turn it into an old Pakistani restaurant? Why is he, why is a Pakistani man serving American food? Yeah. Why? So I like, I like Indian and Pakistani food. Hey, I would have went there. You know, yeah, so anyway, you probably didn't advertise. Yeah, he was there. Elaine says to Patrick Warburton, putty, a boyfriend, putty. Putty, yeah. Oh, don't wait for me. Don't wait for me. I won't. And he walks away. Yeah. That was funny.  Anyway, let us sink our teeth into these readings. Oh, by the way, camera person, is everything look OK? Is everything in position? Can we tell? I hope so. Can we tell the strength of the voice? Or no? No, the voices, the voice with the new equipment for this holiday is very sensitive and very impeccable. OK, because. Better, better, better, much better than the old equipment, which is on the fritz right now. And if everything works out well with this show, we'll remain on the fritz because I took it to a computer repair.  And what did they say? Expert PC. We do not fix that type of equipment. So therefore, it will remain on the fritz. Anyway, go ahead. I've been listening to the pathetic excuses the Republicans are making on why they can't vote on their repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. If I'm not mistaken, for seven plus years, they tried to overturn it. It seems to me, if you want to change something and you're serious about it, you should have something waiting in the wings. Their inability to do so shows how disingenuous they really are. Instead of making it better, they're just trying to ram something down our throats. Where is the great dealmaker? It was going to be cheaper and cover everyone. Too bad. Donald Trump doesn't have a clue on how to accomplish this. It is incredible that someone gets elected to the most important job in the world by using sound bites with absolutely no substance. I certainly hope the electorate has learned its lesson. We shouldn't be taken in by a con man again. Well, you had choices in 2016. Yes, you did. You had, well, the real winner, as far as numbers go, if you count every vote. I'm not talking about the votes that were tossed aside. If you really, really count every vote, the real winner was Bernie Sanders. But Bernie, it's been found that many of his votes were tossed aside. And he decided, he was so paranoid about Donald Trump being elected that he decided to endorse Hillary Clinton and settle for the lesser of two evils. But they're finding lots of not just Bernie Sanders votes, but even Hillary Clinton votes that were. In other words, some fishy went on with this 2016 election with concerning Donald Trump's victory. Something fishy went on. Whether or not any evidence is concrete enough to support Russia's involvement or not, I've been reading a lot of articles about that. What really upset me is all the articles put online by WikiLeaks and Anonymous. No one ever saw justice. Never went anywhere here? Never went anywhere. Never went anywhere. I mean, it got a lot of people going to Anonymous's WikiLeaks web page and watching the videos on YouTube, but never went anywhere. Oh, I really, really like the new cooling system you have in the newsletter-sensitive research center. It's a really, you can't beat science like George Costanz has said. Can't beat it. No way, no how. Can't beat science. Can't beat technology. For months, we democratic voters have been pretty much told that Hillary Clinton lost because of Russian interference. Hey, speak of the devil. And because of the Trump campaign's collusion with Russia, I've always believed that Russia was trying to meddle in the Clinton-Trump election. But I never believed it had any effect on the election. John Ossoff's loss in the congressional race in Georgia and other election losses by Democrats since Trump's election and his high negatives is an indication that democratic losses have nothing to do with Russia's meddling. And President Obama's non-response after being told by the CIA that Russia was trying to help Trump beat Clinton tells me that he also did not believe it was having any effect on the voting. While Democrats have thought it a good try by suggesting Clinton lost because of Russia, they don't seem to be fooling many voters with that storyline. If Democrats want to have a chance of winning again, they must come to grips with the real reason Clinton lost. And that is that democratic leaders have been talking to talk about helping average Americans. But when they get elected, they find reasons why they can't do it. If they don't nominate a progressive in 2020, is that when Trump is up for reelection? In 2020, if they don't nominate a true progressive, we're all done for. You're going to have eight years of Donald Trump. You're going to have real fascism. Clinton, who changes her opinions about important issues to match voter approval, has been a poster child for this behavior. So too is Obama, who said he would challenge Wall Street, but whose presidency increased the difference between the rich and the poor to the highest ever. I grew up under democratic president Franklin D. Roosevelt. That was a whole different ball game. Who not only talked to talk, but as president, created the most profound social revolution in our country since the Civil War. Roosevelt, Truman, JFK. And in a lot of ways, the Republican Dwight Eisenhower. And Johnson. Lyndon Baines, Johnson. But FDR made one mistake. Only one? Well, he held back on getting involved in World War II. They claimed, in other words, they blamed the attack on Pearl Harbor for FDR's pacifist attitude towards the conflict that was going on. Well, Americans at that time and after World War I did not want to get involved in European problems. Until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Right. But they gave them a new look at it. But that was a surprise. Well, there really wasn't any protection of Pearl Harbor, per se.  You know, airplanes that only had so much gas and would run out of gas over here. They would go back. No, no, the Japanese sent a fleet, I think. They sent a fleet of aircraft carriers.  You know how, when an aircraft carrier always has an escort of submarines and destroyers and whatnot? Yeah, you need it, because it's a huge target. But do you see what happens when I destroy it the other day? It was hit by the garbage scowl. What? Or the barge carrying containers. Oh, that's a lot of weight.  It rammed the destroyer? Yeah. It rammed it right where the guys were sleeping, killed a bunch of them. You remember that? I mean, how weak is the destroyer? Well, they don't have thick hulls like they did during World War II. Well, obviously, there's something wrong, you know? Yeah, they're a low budget destroyers.  Well, that's embarrassing.  If you're talking about a cargo ship, I think it was a cargo ship. That's not a garbage scowl. That's a freaking cargo ship. But it was a big sucker. They're all big suckers. But the thing of it is, I mean, where was the radar guy? Yeah, look, not everybody in the military, especially like in the Navy, let's say. Not everyone is sleeping in their bunks. Yeah, exactly. There are always people on guard. There are always people. I mean, yeah, where was the radar and sonar detection? Exactly. You know what? I think they're enlisting low budget mentality. I think everything today is watered down as far as competence goes. You ever call the main office or customer service of a company and notice how many retards pick up the phone? I just had one on the other day from India. No, not even India. Well, they're either India or, in most cases, I think they're the Philippines. Could be. They pay them very cheap, very cheap. This was India. This one was India, OK. And they probably pay them very, very cheap if the man was in India. Obviously. Hey, China, Foxconn, what is it, $0.32 an hour? And they have to wear diapers. This is all due, listen, a friend of mine from Shanghai told me that, true, China's economy is astronomically big, but most of the mainstream population of China is poor. They're not, a large percentage of the people there are not enjoying the prosperity of China. Exactly. OK. I grew up under Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who talked to talk. But as president, created the most profound social revolution in our country since the Civil War, nothing less than the creation of modern America. Average Americans are looking for leaders like if they are. Well, mean what they say, when they say they are going to work for average Americans. And because of the hypocritical performance of current Democratic leaders, they are looking elsewhere.  Well, they ain't going to do anything. That's for damn sure. No, no.  Well, look what happened in the first two weeks. Conservatives block everything. Progressives try to make something. Because just to do something. Just study, just analyze the word progressive.  Progressive. I mean, the first two years, Obama was in office. The Democrats had total control. Nothing was done. We could have had a single payer universal health care plan. You could have changed the tax system in those two years to make the rich pay their fair share in taxes. But it wasn't done. Amazing. Yeah. Absolutely amazing. Oh, by the way, the general ceiling and insulation of the new cooling system was done properly, even when the fall and winter comes around. Was it done properly? No, it would need foam or something on the wings. So in other words, a company person did not do the job. A handyman did. I know you were going to have a handyman do it. Never trust any of your handyman friends. You've got to get somebody that knows what they're doing. That's not a professional. He's a jabroni, man. He's a jabroni. When the winter comes, we'll put this stuff down. What I'm saying is, I'm looking at it and it looks like a handyman did it. It doesn't look like a corporate person did it. Well, he did a good job. You've got to get somebody who has a full set of brain cells that know is professional, that's going to seal it. That would have cost $120. Well, I thought you needed to deplete some petty cash. Not in that way. All right, go ahead.  You'll find out the hard way when the winds of November come early. No, because then we'll block it. All right, go ahead. It is amazing. Winds of November. How people's memories are so short. When the Affordable Care Act was introduced in July 2009, it went through three House Committees, two Senate Committees, multiple hearings, open debates, amendments before finally being passed in March of 2010. Republicans and Democrats had their input. There were no secret meetings. Very few lost their doctors and few lost their policies. The goal of Obamacare was to ensure everybody, not just the rich. It is based on Romney care in Massachusetts.  A Republican health care plan. That is very successful. It seems the only reason it is not liked is because it has President Obama's name attached to it. Oh, yes, the word Obama is in it. All the rednecks and red states and right-wingers, they'll say no without even analyzing what it is. Oh, I don't want no, I don't want no Obamacare. Oh, no, it's the Affordable Care Act. Yeah, that sounds better. That sounds good. Oh, by the way, you know how I could tell the audio is working, the green dots are moving. The green dots on the lower left are going, Oh, yeah. The V, the V, the V, the V, the V, the V, the V, see the green dots? Yes. Yeah, OK. OK, that's good. All right. Oh, I noticed you found your Himalayan pink salt. Yay. God, buddy boy. Oh, finally, you found it. Finally. That's valuable, man. You know how many trace minerals are in there? No, I don't know how many. I think 80, or in the 80s, over 80. Well, it's been a long time since it was pushed down there, and then it got pushed back and back and back. Well, you know what else is great about Himalayan pink salt is that it never goes bad. Oh, good. Well, it has to. It preserves itself because it's salt. Ah. Yeah, it never goes bad. It never goes bad. Never gets a non-perishable item. A crucial vote on the Republican's health plan was originally scheduled for the Senate floor this week. Senators should vote no and defeat this ill-conceived health plan. The plan will harm millions of Americans. My cousin is a polio survivor of 63-plus years. She missed the salt vaccine by a year. She was stricken with infantile paralysis, polio, at age 14. My cousin is very upset and fretting as to what will happen to her under this health plan. She has a preexisting condition. She may be excluded from coverage, just based on that. She is covered by Medicaid, which may cut severely under this legislation, which may be cut severely, which would greatly reduce the minimal services she receives. In my view, President Trump is an equal maniac whose only interest is himself. Himself and his kids. He has clearly shown that he is unable to think beyond a 140-character tweet. Oh, yeah, I heard he's back on the Twitter obsession. Yes, he has attacked Morning Joe and Mika, his wife. Well, the only thing I disagree with is what happened was he tweeted about sending federal aid to Chicago for the high crime, the high violent crime they've been having. And some popular celebrity African-American gentlemen, I'm not sure who he is, criticized him for being obsessed with being a cyberbully on Twitter. Well, being as a May, Chicago still needs a drastic, radical approach. It needs something, yeah. And it's not, you know, look, you can't negotiate with thugs, terrorists, the hardened criminals or evil people. Passage of this plan. Or sociopaths. By the Senate. Yeah. Will only stoke this man's ego and give him an additional ammunition to the little, mock, and disparage individuals who stand up to his and the Republicans' misguided plans to make America great again. Well, he did it throughout his entire campaign in 2016, didn't he?  In the end, there are plans. Their plans are setting back by decades and the gains made in multiple areas such as health, equal opportunity for all, and education, and the environment. The letter writer desires to have any mention of God or religion removed from government or public school. He then suggests that students expressed their subjective understanding of the meaning of life. That statement is saying the only objective truth in life is there is no objective truth. In a scary sense, we are gods. Therefore, there is no need to hold on to such antiquated, illogical belief as a creator god. After all, the theory of evolution is solid. Nobody times nothing equals everything. You just have to show me where all the gabbages. Gabbage? Wow, before, there was an object there where you threw the readings that were already read on the other side, but there was no barrier. There was nothing there. So you're going to have to show me what to discard.  I just read the news that President Trump unannounced that he is not in possession of any tape recordings between himself and former FBI Director James Cole, and yet he is the one who started this whole controversy in the first place. And strung everyone along for five and a half weeks just to say none exists. He is clearly a narcissistic person who craves attention. My question to all Trump supporters, do you think that his making up a false story is a normal thing for a president to do? No. Well, I mean, presidents have lied in the past, but not like this guy. I support it all past presidents, whether Democratic or Republican. But what's going on in the White House today is exhausting. I don't want to watch the news anymore. I don't. I get my news online from the underground. This is not what the president of the United States should be. All past presidents had varying degrees of integrity. His president has none. Therefore, I cannot support him. But you imbeciles elected him. This gentleman keeps on forgetting that. We keep running into that, don't we? You could have went for the lesser of the two evils. Someone who would have threw we, the people, a handful of crumbs, meaning Democrat Hillary Clinton. Oh, no, but you had to elect the person who wants to give you not one crumb, nothing. I am a little surprised over how annoying the left is about the secrecy of the health care bill after all. Obamacare was done with no input from Republicans. That legislation didn't get into Republican both. And then there was the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi's famous statement. We have passed the bill to find out what is in it. The Democrats got the bill passed without some of them even reading it. The whole bill was a lie. It was crafted as a lie. To get it passed, including such memorial on truth, as if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. And if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. The letter writer believes that protesting against the president's policies and or personally is inconsistent with some of the values that make America great. In my opinion, such demonstrations are precisely what makes America great. We are fortunate to live in a country where displeasure with our government can be freely expressed, unlike in some countries, where such expression is forbidden. The writer also states that such demonstrations send a very bad message. I think it sends the right message, the message of resistance to President Trump's ideas and attitudes is one that expresses the hope that we can and we must do better in selecting the people to run our government. People should show Trump the same respect that has been given to past individuals serving in the position for the greater good of our country. Where was this writer when Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted, you lie! At President Obama. Although this may sound an act of shame, I believe that respect must be earned, not freely given. While I have respect for the office of the president, I have little respect for its current occupant. In my eyes, Trump has done very little to earn the respect the writer believes that he warns. What was the Grover Cleveland that once said that the American people will receive the kind of government that they deserve? That's great. Exactly the kind of government that they deserve? Well, maybe you don't deserve.  Oh, by the way, I heard that the free health care for all in democratic socialist countries are not what Republicans in the United States warn against about that everybody has to wait a long time. Of course not. They got their health care.   It's all conservative propaganda lies. Sometimes some problems over in Canada, for instance, if they can't get a guy in right away or whatever, they ship them over here and pay for them here. Yeah. Oh, by the way, for two days, I've been trying to get Bank of America's customer service on the phone.  I have to tell them that I will not be on the East Coast between the dates, July 11 to the 18th. This way, I can use my card, my Visa card. And I have to tell them this. Otherwise, I'm going to have to walk into the branch physically, walk into the branch, and tell customer services. I mean, tell the person, yeah, the customer service rep at the branch to do it for me because they're not picking up the phone. And they got a brand new ATM machine that looks like a damn slot machine from a casino.  That's what the ATMs are all about. Well, this is a brand new big flashing light 2001 Space Odyssey freaking high-tech ATM. And you can be sure that this ATM has more functions than the old one. And that means less hours for the bank personnel. And from what I hear, fast food restaurants like McDonald's already have these self-service machines to walk up to and press buttons and place your order.   And Trumpy keeps saying that Carrier and Ford and all the other ones that he speaks to are keeping jobs when, in fact, they are losing them. Losing them, that's correct. Yeah, the jobs. And then you have the H-1B visa imports, the professionals imported into this country to work cheap. And, of course, you have outsourcing of many office jobs. And there ain't no jobs. There's no job market.  There's no jobs.  OK, listen, never worked. It was always a big lie. Big lie. We're going to break for lunch, and then we're going to come back for lunch. And we will begin part two of this week's Independence Day 2017 Progressive Discussions Holiday Show, Independence Day Week, I'm sorry, 2017. We're going to go to lunch. And, actually, I will do, well, I have to, because we're doing this live from YouTube. I will do promo when we come back. I will do promo, all right? All right. Is that OK with you, Giovanni? Yeah.


Thanks for coming to this talk. I know there's a really hard competition at the moment. And we will just close the door, and you can understand me better. OK, this talk is about KD Frameworks 5 on Android. If you wonder what this K5 means, I'm talking about the progress we did in the last two years, and also a lot about work in progress. I will start with a little bit talking about me and then giving a little bit of the talk as I'm directly starting with it. So my name is Andreas Katlanfair. You can find me at a lot of IRC channels with Nick and Kola. I'm within the KDE project since about six years. This spring, I finished my PhD in ad-lib game theory and network creation games. If you want to know more about that, you can ask me in the break. Since then, I started working at a class E system. That's a company that's doing these big, nice machines. And if the picture's not that good, but you can find me at the picture there in the cabin. It's a really nice, big thing. However, this talk is about my KDE involvement. So it's my KDE head on today. And I want to talk specifically about how can we deploy KDE Frameworks 5 on Android? How can we use them there? And probably also at the beginning, what are KDE Frameworks 5?  What do I mean with acute and Android application? And then I'm getting to the major main part of this talk about our approach, how to get the KDE Frameworks 5 there. How do we tool-chaining? How do we set up a build system? Or how do we provide an easy-to-use build system? The availability of frameworks and, of course, quality assurance and continuous integration. And then I will talk about what is on the plate right now. So KDE Frameworks 5, if you never heard about that, you could either ask David, the main tailor, or you will look at the websites, or I will try to explain to you. In the world some years ago, when we had still the KDE 4 times, we had this bit monolithic KDE Libs library. And then we started to split these libraries to parts that really fit a problem, or that really are problem-specific. So nowadays, we have a big set of libraries that address certain problems, like creating an archive, like getting more proxy models for a widget-based application or doing localization, like KIA 18N. Since these libraries might have dependencies with other KDE libraries, we introduced something we called tiers, which means all frameworks that I have tier on only depend on Qt and must not depend on any other framework. So for you, the message to take home is in an ordinary C++ application, you can take any tier one framework and use it. And you don't have a dependency to any other framework. That's awesome. And that extends you or your application with a certain functionality. And that was a really small footprint on memory and that stuff. These frameworks are available on, of course, Linux, Windows, Mac OS. We have monthly incremental releases, so you get patches really fast and you only get small changes with each release that's well-tested. Everything is LGPL 2 plus 1 plus license, so you could even use it in automotive. We have CMake as build system, but we also provide support people who want to use Qmake. So we ship pre and profiles. So in general, that's something that's a really interesting thing for any Q developer who has some problems like solving certain tasks and can simply take the library, put it into her application and get new functionality. These libraries are not only interesting on the old platforms, but also in the mobile world. That's why we are looking at Android. A typical Android application is within Java and in many cases there's probably no reason to use any C++ library and problems in such cases you shouldn't do it. But there are reasons when you really want to introduce and use a C++ library. That might be that you have a specific functionality that is already implemented in C++, well-tested, is really fast and you don't want to write this functionality again from scratch in another language, since you already have it. That's a very valid reason to use such a library that possibly brings business logics that you want to use again. Another reason that's mostly within the KDE project where we have applications or the small applications like in KDE Education that are well-fitted to be provided on Android devices, since that's really a possible target platform where you don't want to write the whole application from scratch. You want to only adapt it a little bit, possibly write a new UI that fits to a mobile device and then port it to it. And for that reason you need such libraries that you already depend on since you don't want to cut the functionality out, you want to port it. And that's the second main reason why we try to provide as many as possible frameworks on Android at least such frameworks that make sense on Android. And I hope you are now with me that it's reasonable to use, that there are reasonable use cases for frameworks 5 on Android.  And it's probably not completely accurate, but it's enough to know what we're doing here. So from a really high-level Android application, simply this zip archive, this apk file that contains some Android-specific parts like a manifest file into it in a very defined folder structure. But that also can contain C++ libraries, so some shared libraries. And well, that's what we consider as an Android application. Where you have several layers, the center you have the Android part, the Java part, then you have possibly some C++ parts and somewhere there's also the Qt part. Creating such an application takes a lot of tooling, some tooling. There are three important tools for creating such an application, that's the SDK, the indicate, and the Qt and Android framework. The SDK is used for, I think, any Android application that has libraries, that has an emulator, that has a debugger, that has anything, any tooling to really create an Android application. That's not really interesting for us, we only use it. The more interesting stuff is the NDK, that's the native development kit. That provides us with the availability with the power to use C++ libraries. It gives us the tooling to use GCC and Clang. It gives us standard libraries that we need on such a platform. For example, a version of the standard C library, that is unfortunately only cut short version called Bionic and lacks a lot of functionality, but that's the version we need. And other basic libraries. And that's what we are usually operating on. So we have these NDK with the SysRoot, with a compiler tool chain. On top of that, we can compile our C++ libraries and applications that are then embedded into an Android application. And to make everything nicer to use, and also to embed Qt, there is a Qt and Android framework that on the one hand provides a platform extraction layer. So you can consider it like another box that you can draw around the picture I put at the right side. And that also provides interfaces to directly operate deeply with the Android corns. There's, that's called the Java native interface. And Bogdan Vatra, the founder of the Judo and Android initiative years back and still in the KDE project. We'll talk about that at Sunday. And I think that's really really deep interesting technical talk. So that's all I want to explain about what's roughly in Qt and Android application and going to the more interesting stuff of this talk. Namely how we try to provide frameworks for Android. And for that I want to talk about four topics. The tool chaining, the built environment, the availability, already the availability of frameworks and our plans for quality insurance. If you ever looked at Qt and Android, you know it's using Qt and Android. Wherever in the KDE community, we usually prefer CMake. And that's the reason why we start to look into a CMake tool chaining for creating Qt and Android applications. CMake has a built in mechanism for doing cross compilation. That's called a tool chain file. And such tool chain files define something like the compiler, the compile flex. So where the system root is with all the libraries you want to link to. And such a tool chain file, we are currently shipping with the extra CMake modules, which is released alongside with the frameworks file. It is a set of extra features for CMake that already gives your, well, nearly already completely set up system for doing a cross compilation for Android. For this tool chain file, you only have to set the path to the SDK, the NDK, and where Qt is found. And this tool chain finds it automatically defines for you the compiler, the linker flex, the linker, the linking libraries, and also adds a target to generate an APK file out of it. So if you only use our tool training file, everything should work. And well, I put the comments there that's usually all you need to do and also add the path to your source code. Then you already get your make target and can simply do make APK package and you have your APK file out of your application. And you can look up the documentation at that link below. And that's everything we need to use from our CMake and from the tool training. Of course, we have the alternatives where you use Qmake, where you use a really nifty Qt creator integration that we currently unfortunately still lack for CMake that would be really nice to see in KDevelop at one time, I think, or Qt creator possibly. But currently we are more living on the shale interfaces and doing a comment line code. The second point is we want to make it easy to start working on Qt and Android application. It usually takes a lot of time to download all these tools like Qt and Android, SDK and DK, install it as the correct path and also configure these things. And the SDK has a lot of stuff you can install and really put it as the correct places. And to make that easy, we simply introduce the Docker container to doing all of that. And using this Docker container is most simple. I put all four commands that you need that you need to use it on that slide. You need to clone a repository where you only find a Docker image file and a small set of scripts, such scripts that we use for setting up the SDK, a script for correctly extracting the Qt 5, well, we can use Qt 5.6, Qt 5.6 and Android, and installing it at the correct location. When you build a Docker image, you create it to use and then you log in and usually you also mount a local folder where you have your sources or external things or want to put your application later on. So just writing these four commands and you have a ready set up build system to do cross compilation. And to make life more easy, we already set the environment that all the paths are already set up. And we already configured KDSourceBuild, which is a nice utility wheels as a Canadian community to build packages from source. You can even use it to compile everything of KDE. You can use it and build arbitrary libraries and applications. We set it up in a way with a configuration file that you can build all frameworks that are all available on Android yet. And that's also already set up.  They're installed in a shared install folder and from there you can simply use it for your Android application. And I think that's already a nice way to start development. And I saw it from some people who recently looked at it that it's really easy to start. Whoever, we are still lacking a little bit of IDE integration. So what do we have today? Today, we know for several frameworks that they already work on Android. I parted them in, I think, three groups. First part, I said, well, they're solving basic tasks. For example, the Attica framework, which gives you a nice Qt API to talk to the open collaboration services. For example, something, say, we'll talk tomorrow in the store, KD store talk. And what you find nowadays at KDapps.org, I think, or com. So this open collaboration service AP from the, well, the face that you can simply use. The probably most used, at most requested from, I think, K archive that gives you a really nice, really good integration for extracting and packaging stuff. And with a lot of file formats, and well, it simply works. And it's used in so many applications and I think also many applications outside of the KDE project. We have a Kconfig, which is I think advanced version of Qt setting. It provides a different approach. And provides this really persistent, platform-independent app settings. K codex is coming more from the PIM people. People looking at different encodings, for example, at mails. And doing a lot of encoding conversions. If you ever encounter such problems, look at K codex and you have all of the box solution probably for you. K codex is something that's a property of most interest within the KDE community. Since it's already used in a lot of projects since, well, it gives convenience advanced Qt core. For other projects outside, it's probably always a question, do I want to rely on another framework? If yes, get a lot of nice functionality that you can simply use. It's always a question if it's, it's worth another dependency. K image formats, if you have a lot of image formats that you want to export from Q image, that there are more. And with that, we have a really nice, high-level multi-spending library that does job-based multi-spending. We have N, the localization area, of course, Ki18N, which is a get text-based translation system. And as I know from the localization people, in many regards, advanced to what Qt is offering. But I think that goes really deeply on which language you can localize in which way. And also for the scripting, especially the scripting is a really important part there. And we have K unit conversion, which allows the conversion of, well, different physical units, different unit systems, all boring stuff that you don't want to implement yourself. And I also added the box of Qt widget-based, or Qt widget extensions, which you probably won't need that often on Android application, maybe for the initial porting, but if you do a GUI for a touch system, you usually don't use Qt widget nowadays, but Qt quick. But in case you really want to use it, you get advanced to Qt GUI, you get item models, item views, so a lot of extensions to cases when you work with widgets, and also text completion such widgets. That is something we know that is available today. But only compiling is probably not enough or to know that anything compiles, we also need to know that it works. The first step of it is we need to completely integrate in our continuous integration. Of course, we have this kind of container approach, where we can simply run KD source build and we know everything still compiles. Whoever we want to get it into the CI system and we are really close to that. I think actually we set everything up that it should work now, whoever. After the last patch, the CI system broke in a way that our Jenkins Docker plug-in is not compatible with EAR. We have a problem with upstream for the Jenkins Docker integration. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, but okay, it will be soon fixed. But everything is in place and it should really not work. Actually, we are using the same Docker image we are using for our development. So we really share that and in that way we also ensure that the Docker image is working. If you look into it, you see another second user, next to this is KD Android user, named Jenkins user who we use for the Jenkins ones. The more pressing question is I think the unit testing frameworks and there we are also quite close. What we wanted to do with unit tests, of course we run them already on the other platforms, but we also want to run them on Android and that's a little bit harder than just running it on Linux, for example. Since we have to pack the unit test into an APK file, get all the startup information to know that there's an executable unit test that you want to run. Upload it into an emulator, trigger the start, store the output at some file and download it again from the emulator and finally look at what did we get out of it. That's a long one trip and we finally have all pieces together that, well, it was several lines of per script, but what we have in place now is that we are parsing the C-test output. It's probably not the best way. Hopefully later it will be in the toolshade directly that we get a nice make test target, but currently we are doing that way to really know that it's working. So we are parsing the C-test files, find out which tests do we have. For each test we create the necessary files, package the APK, upload it, run it, download it and well, hopefully it doesn't take too long and we get it. Unfortunately, everything with the emulators were taking some time and it is at least successfully tested with Attica. Well, the smallest framework was only one unit test. Another ones will probably follow next week during the Academy boss. That's so far what we have in place and that's where we have to do more, but I think we are in a really good position now. And yeah, that's what is currently mostly on the agenda. What I already said, I would like to see better CMake toolchain integration for unit testing. We are doing a lot of stuff twice since we are doing it on the one hand in the toolchain, on the other hand, we are doing it in my unit testing framework since it's, if I have to do this C-test integration, but I think we can, should achieve doing that also like in the toolchain, that we have an easier way to get this testing target. However, that's nice to have at the end of the point. The more important, the more major challenges are that we have to finish our CI integration and getting the unit tests automatically run and see that hopefully everything is green. I expect some tests probably to fail, whoever, due to our work on other platforms, I think the most problems should be solved by right now. Especially problems where you are missing files that must be included since we are, nowadays using a lot of cute resources that since we had such problems on other platforms. And now we probably get only the Android specific parts. There's a framework called Knewstuff that is a really high level framework to only upload and download new stuff, new cool stuff for your application like training data for an edu application or wallpapers or such stuff with a really nice convenient IPI and that is used in a lot of KD applications but which is I think a TSV framework that depends on a lot of other frameworks, especially also KIO, and that makes it really hard to provide an Android. Currently, there's an effort to split this framework into two frameworks. One is a core framework that does only, well, provide a nice interface, for example, for Qt Quick to integrate into application. Doesn't use KIO and makes it really simple to get the core functionality integrated into application and the widget stuff stays in another framework. With that, we hopefully will soon have a solution to catering that use case. And another really big issue is of course KIO since it will use a lot of debas and debas is an extreme problem on Android since we don't have debas and we won't get it but we only have other inter-process communication protocols namely there's Binder and Binder is using a completely different approach. Debas is roughly working like a network and sending tasks somewhere and they are getting to queues and they are processed. Binder is a function call. You call something and then the other process something happens. And so you see it's a really different approach and it will take a lot of effort to see if we can integrate such a mechanism really into KIO and I really didn't look into it yet and I think it will be hard if it will be possible. KIO does use debas but only for extra stuff like cookies and whatever, right? The actual communication between the application and the slave does not use debas it uses a local socket but even that is a problem on Android, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Also socket communication is a problem here. I think that there are two steps. We first have to look at what to do about debas and second how to share this information that we exchanged there. But this might be an easier path than to, I mean, if binder is the way to having the process communication then you could first look at an alternative transport for the commands to the slave having binder instead of the local socket that is a much smaller problem because it's a set of well-defined commands which really look like function calls before you go and attack debas which is a lot more, right? We even generate code out of the debas interfaces and that's gonna be a much bigger problem whereas just the commands to the slave and the answer is just packets on the socket, right? Yeah. So that should be easier. I think it really gets the main priority once we have the CI system completely in place then that we have to look at that problem and see how to address it. Of course it would be even better if Q-local socket would use binder. Yeah. Okay, but I think I'm done with my talk. I think I have to rest of the time. No questions? Yeah. Anyone more questions? I think we have a lot of documentation as websites. There you can see a lot. You can find me as a next race and I think until Wednesday at the academy if you have any other questions and probably we'll also make a buff to talk a little about such issues probably also about the CI integration but there was still a question. Well, in the beginning was a specific application. I wanted to get articulated working on Android and that was two years ago. Yeah, you're welcome. And now I'm still stuck at getting Knew stuff working on Android. But once we have that I hopefully will see a articulate there. But that's a usual case.  And smartphone users are, to get some really easy to test stuff and to give fast feedback. And we already have some applications KDE that get big audience there. For example, Je Compris. So I think getting a really big audience that's awesome. Okay. I guess that's it. Thank you, Andrea. Okay. Thank you all for coming. Thank you.


Protein, especially when compared to the other macronutrients, fats and carbohydrates, is very difficult to digest. From chewing to the stomach, small intestine and beyond, it requires a lot more work than pretty much any non-protein-based food. That combined with the tendency to overeat, at least in America, can make increasing your dietary protein a bad thing. Normally, when someone's eating a lot of chicken, drinking protein shakes, they're viewed as healthy, oh yeah, I protein diet, bro. But in reality, could be damaging their bodies in a different way. When a person gets fat eating junk food, stands an American diet, you can visibly see it. They're not healthy, they're fat, they're obese, their cellulite looks like cottage cheese.  Protein requires a lot more enzymes than the other macronutrients, and a pretty diverse gut microbiome if you do want to have specifics to help break it down. Americans overeat a lot of low-quality protein, and in regards to the protein quality, it's not getting digested any easier. You want the best stuff that you can afford to put in your body, and although most people might not notice how organ damage looks, it will manifest itself on the outside as well.  Any food in excess is bad. It's just when you have those low-quality junk foods with a high omega-6 intake that distorts your appetite, processed foods, vegetable oils, feedlock conventional meats that have poor fatty acid ratios like pork and chicken, it's impossible for the standard American dieter to not overeat. When we get more specific into health issues around digestion, having large amounts of undigested protein in the gut is very bad for liver function and dysbiosis, aka gut bacterial imbalance. Once a person gets to the point of gut issues, way too much protein will show itself in different forms, a lot of the times a histamine intolerance. Amines such as histamine, there are many more like tyramine, cadaverine, a whole laundry list. Amines are created when protein breaks down in the gut and it's loosely used as this fear mongering, vegan, anti-meat argument, but they don't get specific enough into the science to actually understand the downfalls of it. In excess, these amines are toxic to the body. We try to remove them through the kidneys, the filtration systems, the liver, and it can cause heart palpitations, that's one of the more common ones that people notice, and it's not a matter of eating fresh or meat. Regardless of how fresh the meat is, if your body can't digest it and break it down, even the most recently slaughtered chicken or beef will replicate your histamine intolerance regardless. The temperature of your digestive system plus the high moisture and bacterial environment doesn't matter how fresh the meat is. If your body's not digesting it, you're going to have histamine issues just from protein on its own. Whether it's slaughtered today, tomorrow, next week, that is not nearly as significant as your body's ability to break down the protein and digest it and correspondingly deal with the amines produced by the breakdown of the meat. It's not just histamine, there's other amines. Yeah, so a lot of the junk foods and stuff that people are eating, omega-6 content of the meat, causes people to eat so much food that the bacteria overgrows and not only are we having histamine and amine issues from the high protein intake, the candida and bad bacteria itself can also produce large amounts of histamine. When a person has a healthy organ system, liver, pancreas, small intestine, those main digestive organs, all of the enzymes, molecules, materials, whatever you want to call require to break down the protein are present. If they aren't present, you have to be pretty strict with your diet and maybe even take digestive supplements to fix the issue. You guys know I had liver damage. It's taking me years and years and years to get to a point where I can eat somewhat normal meals. I don't eat more than eight ounces of meat on average per meal. Maybe I'll splurge once a week and have a nice big steak. I have even less than that a lot of the time. A pound to a pound and a half of meat per day. Any more than that is going to go undigested.  But for the average person, a pound of meat a day is usually plenty, especially if it's high quality. Lunge joe, 150 pound twink on the carnivore diet does not need three pounds of meat. That is not healthy under any circumstance. Whether it takes a year or two or 10 to destroy your liver, it's eventually going to happen eating that much meat. Not only is that amount of meat going to produce those amines that can cause stress on your body and all sorts of health issues, minerals like iron and nutrients, especially vitamin A are very potent when it comes to fungal and candida overgrowth. The bacteria, the yeast in your gut love those two nutrients especially. They really fuel the growth of bad microbes. Those love to grab on to iron and vitamin A and they grow like crazy. People say candida is from sugar, but if your gut health is bad enough, the candida has different morphologies where it will start eating protein and fat.  Freedom units, four to eight ounces of protein per meal for the people that have half of a brain. When we switch to metric, 120 to 240 grams and again that is body weight dependent. If you're spending a lot of time with your girlfriend or boyfriend then you might need some more protein or if you're like work construction or something reasonable. You want to give your body a perfect amount of protein. You don't want to under eat and you don't want to overeat. Just find the amount that you're comfortable eating. You can go with your natural appetite. Don't be at that dinner table and have a few bites of meat left or half of a steak left and force yourself to eat it. Save it for the next meal. You may need temporary digestive assistance. As long as you ensure you're not eating too much protein, you're chewing it very well and you have a balance to get to digest it. Whether you need probiotics, mastocom, digestive enzymes, you kind of have to experiment. One thing I'm not going to go too much into in this video is Wi-Fi shielding, EMF protection and making sure your digestive system is shielded from radiation. I always wear Wi-Fi shielding clothing. Even if I follow the perfect diet, I remember when I was getting my tattoo in New York and I wasn't wearing my EMF shirt, I had diarrhea like every single day. The radiation, high stress on the digestive system will mess everything up. Again, I didn't want to go too much into this, but if you're in a high radiation environment, your liver, pancreas, and small intestine function is greatly impaired. It's mostly the bacteria and the yeast breaking down the food. It's not good. Just spend 50, 60 bucks on the shirt and you won't have to worry about it. I also drink water kefir, which helps break down the carbs and the starches in my meal and it also inhibits the bad bacteria like the Candida, so then my body can produce and focus on the enzymes needed to digest and absorb the protein. Mastocom can also help keep the protein out of the stomach, preventing certain microbes like H. pylori from absorbing and keeping the food stuck there. We do have macronutrient digestive enzymes on organsupplements.com that has everything you need to break down protein as well as other macronutrients. It will literally dissolve the food in your stomach. What's interesting is out of the six enzymes in my custom macronutrient blend, four of them are for protein. Protein takes over four enzymes to digest, whereas carbs and fats, it's really minimal and in many cases the bacteria in your stomach will just digest the carbohydrates for you and the fats can almost be absorbed directly into the small intestine. Out of all the foods you can overeat, protein is by far the worst because it is just so difficult to digest. Your body needs so much to do it and when it goes undigested in the stomach, then it kind of rots and produces really inflammatory compounds. If you overeat carbohydrates, maybe you get just some slight candida overgrowth and then that dissipates and goes away. If you overeat fat, maybe your body produces too much bile and you get diarrhea, but protein, it stays there, it causes constipation, it's just, it's not good. So hopefully this gives you guys a perspective of to keep an eye on your protein intake and making sure you find the ideal amount and don't go crazy with it.  You want to keep it relative to a 12 to 24 hour period. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

Hello, friends and subscribers, a very warm welcome back to my YouTube channel. Daniel Rossell here, bringing you today's video from the wonderful city of Jerusalem here in late November 2023. We have delightful wintery conditions here. We have driving rain. We have cold weather. We have a bit of fog. We have, you know, it's just a classic Irish weather, wintery day here in Jerusalem, which where when you live somewhere, which is almost nonstop sunny for, you know, probably a good, I think, like five months out of the year. These kind of occasional days are kind of nice. They're very cozy. You want to get inside, cuddle up to your laptop, your tablet, your spouse, your pet, whatever you have on hand or cuddle up to a pint of beer and a pub, which is what I'll be doing today because I've crossed the 3,000 subscriber milestone queue, queue the applause. It's really nice to have crossed 3,000 subscribers. I just want to say jokes aside. Thank you very much to everyone who's been watching these videos. I know this channel has gone through meandering course. We started off as tech and eventually found our way to these videos about Israel. And now I'm diverting a little bit to talk about Ireland. But it's been really appreciated that everyone who's been commenting and liking and sharing with their friends and putting these videos up on Facebook groups and all these various actions have really helped. I just want to say that I'm not in this YouTube game for money. Last anyone misunderstand my intentions. I recently shared on Twitter my really, really dismal YouTube earnings of approximately 100 bucks a month. People can pull apart what I'm doing wrong, but I'm not in. I'm not doing it for that reason. I love creating content. I love sharing thoughts. I love getting back comments. I love reading comments. I love responding to comments. It's all been a lot of fun. And I'd like to think I picked up some good skills about videos along the way. And I've also made some good friends. It's been really, really nice to, as I said in a recent video, have actually met a couple of the YouTube commenters who've been commenting and came through Jerusalem. And likewise in that vein, if anyone watching this is planning a trip to Jerusalem and would like to meet for pints, you can talk to my assistant secretary. You'll talk to my set. I'm just kidding. I have no I have no gatekeepers. I would love to meet anyone traveling through Jerusalem. There is a contact email on the about page and send me an email if you're coming in this direction. And it's always really, really nice to take digital relationships into real life. I know sometimes that can go horribly wrong for people, but so far I've had a relatively good luck. And it's been really nice to meet a couple of the folks who are commenting and just develop relationships in real life through this channel. It's been a great lot of fun. Today, I want to talk about another one of the Ireland is ready videos. And just to say one more no, because I'm doing a bit of a prelude to this video here. I recently did a video where I said I'm not talking any more about Ireland, Israel, because I figured, you know, people don't really come to this YouTube channel to hear about me talking about this very niche topic. And the reason I do as I explain is because I am an Irish born Jew. And so when Ireland sort of gets really into talking about Israel, it kind of peaks my interest and I said, I'd stop. I said, you know what, people don't need to hear it. But then I got a lot of messages very, very, which really kind of surprised me from Irish pro-Israel people saying, actually, can you keep making these videos? Because even though you might think this is pointless from my perspective, sitting here in Jerusalem, from their perspective in Ireland, there's so few pro-Israel voices kind of permeating into that conversation that they said, just keep going. So I'm going to keep going judiciously. If there's something I think is really noteworthy. And I would say, actually, this video that I'm doing is not maybe one of the more noteworthy statements coming out of Ireland. But I do think it's indicative for people who are kind of don't really understand the Israeli position via the Ireland. I thought I'd pull apart this statement because I think it does a it's a classic Irish statement about the Middle Eastern peace process about Israel, Palestine, the people in Ireland would say a bit like what we saw happening with Leo Veradke yesterday, who put out that tweet about Emily Hand being lost and found and probably got more impressions on a tweet than any Irish politician. And it caused massive offence here in Israel and among the Jewish world. And as I've said on Twitter, I think it was a little bit OTT. I think it was just a metaphor that fell completely flat. But there is that kind of disconnect that we see here in statements like this from Neil Hall-Martin. So I'm going to read this one out here. This was put out by Mehal Martin's office about an hour ago.  I just want to read this. Tonnish to calls for extension. I should probably give context for us. The Tonnish is Ireland's deputy prime minister, Neil Hall-Martin. Tonnish to calls for extension of Gaza. The truce highlighting urgent need to stop humanitarian catastrophe and see the release of all hostages. I feel like I'm a TV presenter, reading this, but I'm going to try to read it, bring it to life as best I can. The last four days of limited truce and Gaza have seen the release of some hostages and the delivery of increased humanitarian assistance so desperately needed by the civilian population of Gaza. I appeal now to all parties to build on the important steps that have been taken, the state, the cessation of hostilities, the delivery of vital aid and the release of some hostages and extend and expand this truce. Ireland has repeatedly called for a sustainable humanitarian ceasefire to be established, and I earnestly hope that this happens now. This conflict must end. Gaza's civilian population cannot be allowed to suffer any further. Extension and expansion of this truce would allow the sustained humanitarian assistance that is needed at scale to avoid this tragedy from further deepening. I strongly reiterate my previous calls for all hostages to be immediately and unconditionally released. We in Ireland were delighted and relieved this weekend by the release of Emily Hand, the Irish Israeli citizen who was abducted by Hamas. It is our sincere hope that all remaining hostages will soon also be reunited with their friends and families. There can be no military solution to this crisis. And we again urge all parties to take this chance to maintain and build on the positive developments that we have seen these recent days and find a path to peace and security. Now, so here's here's the critique from the Irish standpoint. This statement is who could disagree with this statement, right? We're saying there should be peace. We're saying there should be stability. We're saying that all parties need to build on this. And therein lies the problem. What's going on in Israel was not is not a is not a symmetrical conflict. It is a conflict between a democratically established state Israel and Hamas, which is a terrorist entity whose charter says it's dedicated to the elimination of Israel, right? Hamas on October 7th, blew up the Gaza Israel barrier, brought in thousands of terrorists to Israel, raped women, beheaded children and brutally murdered more than 1000 civilians. Now, Israel has since then been engaged in a military campaign to destroy Hamas because Hamas wants to destroy it. Now, the problem is reading the statement, it doesn't. It sounds like it's kind of two children, you know, to a legitimate conflict, right? The and the thing is this Ireland's under Ireland's understanding of neutrality really, really does not sort of come across in this part of the world. And I think it's why Ireland seems to have a hard time understanding why it's perceived as incredibly pro-Palestinian and more than that anti-Israel because Ireland thinks that calling for a ceasefire is neutral. This is the crux of the problem. Calling for a ceasefire is not neutral. It's pro-Palestinian calling for a ceasefire means telling Israel to abandon its legitimate military target of destroying a terrorist entity bent on its destruction, right? When you're calling for a ceasefire for Israel to put down arms for Israel to just stop and, you know, I'm just looking at the language here in the statement here for a durable, sustainable humanitarian ceasefire. Well, how sustainable and, you know, humanitarian. So we should stop for a week and allow fuel into Gaza and then continue. But this kind of a statement and there can be no military solution to this cry. I'm just going to bring the statement back up here on the screen. Looking at the last paragraph, there can be no military solution to this crisis. Now, Israel and I would disagree. There is a military solution to this crisis. Well, not maybe there is a military. There is a solution to this crisis and it's the destruction of Hamas. The only way to destroy a paramilitary organization with rockets and terrorists is through a military operation, which is why Israel is conducting one in Gaza. So when you say there, there can be no military solution to this crisis and we urge all parties. And again, this language is drawing an equivalence between Israel and Hamas. We urge all parties as if these are all reasonable people. It's not the all parties here that you're putting on a kind of equal standing point is Israel and Hamas, as if Hamas of any any interest in maintaining and building on the positive developments that we have seen in recent days. This is a delusional statement and it's in a delusional position. And the idea that a ceasefire is any way neutral and anything other than a pro-Palestinian partisan position is also delusional. I could keep going, but I think that's kind of set enough.  And it fell flat. This is the kind of stuff that people want to pop pull flaws at Ireland's treatment of Israel. I think this is quintessentially Irish statement and a quintessential statement in which Ireland can't understand why this in Israel is perceived as being very pro-Palestinian. And for me, it's as obvious as night and day by calling for a ceasefire. You are calling for Israel to abandon its military conflict. You're calling for Israel to basically just kind of say, lie down and say, let's do another October 7th, because if you don't eliminate Hamas through a military solution, as it says in the last paragraph, that's what Israel will get. It will get another October 7th and another October 7th. Thanks for watching today's video. This is my strident opinion for the day. And if you do want to keep getting these videos, do subscribe here on YouTube. Thanks for watching.
