Criminal groups set at least 35 buses on fire in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro on October 23, according to the industry group that represents bus companies, after police killed a crime boss in an operation, the attacks on buses were concentrated in the west of the city, where rival criminal groups are fighting for territorial control. They came after a police operation that killed the nephew of the leader of the state's largest militia, according to the police.Rio's so-called militias, often composed of current and former police officers, have become one of the region's largest security threats. Originally set up as self-defense forces for poor neighborhoods blighted by drug gangs, they have now metastasized into criminal outfits operating in multiple different rackets. All the fire taking place, this crime act, that took place on the afternoon of this second Friday, people going to work, now returning to work, and look at the situation in the northwest of Rio de Janeiro, 21 buses burning in a riot, a repression, a riot of a militia by the death of the nephew of a militia. A peace, they call it a cemetery peace, right? When you have that crime going on, the State is making a release seal.


Hi, for the two o'clock block, this is Jay Fidel and Think Tech. It's the military in Hawaii, which we do every other Thursday. And we have two generals with us, and the BGEN on the screen stands for Brigadier General. Okay, we have, on one side, Brigadier General Joseph Harris, who's the Air National Guard, Hawaii Air National Guard. And on the other side, we have the Army. We have Brigadier General Moses Kauievi, and he's with the Army National Guard here in Hawaii, and so welcome to the show, you guys. It's so nice to see you here. Thank you for coming down. Nice to be here. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Jay, for allowing us to be on today. Yeah, I told you my first question is going to be, and let's talk to you first, Moses. How do I get your job? I want your job. I like your job. I like what you do. I like the whole thing. So how do I get your job? Well, there's many avenues to get to where I'm at, but it took me. A long time to get to where I'm at as far as the Hawaii National Guard, Hawaii Army National Guard commander, but I actually joined the guard when I was 17, straight out of high school. I joined as an enlisted soldier. And after four years, I decided to, that I wanted to go through officer candidate school, became an officer and got my qualifications in education and made my way through the ranks in a nutshell, I should say. And then here I am today as the Army National Guard commander. So that is something because you're the senior man. You're the guy in charge of the Army National Guard in the state of Hawaii. How big is it? How many, how is it divided up? Where are the units located? Can you talk about that? Well, we're a fairly, what we call a small size state, but we have approximately around 2,500 personnel, give or take, depending on the recruiting, fluctuation and retirements in the Hawaii Army National Guard. And we were across the state in all counties. So from Hilo all the way to Hanapepe and Kauai, we have units across the state and in Maui, as well as the bulk of units are here on Oahu. You know, I really hadn't thought of it, but you must be with all that geography, you must be affected by COVID. Can you take a minute and tell me how COVID has affected your operation in this command? Yeah, interestingly, COVID has actually created a challenge for us to train, but not impossible. We've, the basis for the Army training is really the squad. And the squad level is approximately six people, maybe up to 10 people, depending on the type of unit you have. So with that, and that is the foundation of Army units from the squad level all the way up, you can actually do some training with that amount of people separated from the breast and maintain the COVID-19 mitigation standards that is out there. Also, we have the ability today with the technology to complete our primary military education or with distance learning or online type of training to ensure that we get qualified in the rank that we're in, as well as any other type of training that we need that doesn't require us to go into the field, classroom type of training, or updates or any type of other types of additional type of training or good to have training. This is an opportunity in some ways then for training. Let's turn to you, General Harris, Brigadier General Harris. I want to be clear that everybody understands the BGEN. So how do I get your job? It's not that I'm looking for both of your jobs, but I'm making a comparison so I can decide which of your jobs I really want, okay? Tell me how you got there and what I need to do to replace you. All right. Well, there's many paths to get to where I am, and certainly I had no idea when I started that I'd end up in this position, and I'm sure Moses would tell you the same thing. The careers are a long, it's a long path, and so you never know quite where to lead. But much like Moses, I started right out of high school. I started when I was 19 as a part-time citizen soldier going to college and working in the summers, and had an opportunity to go full-time enlisted. I made it to the rank of B-7 after 13 years enlisted, and then had an opportunity to get commissioned, got my school and training out of the way. I trained mostly in logistics, Air Force logistics, which is one of the larger, if not the largest career area in the Air Force. As you might imagine, flying missions require a ton of logistics and support to operate. So that was kind of my chosen profession, worked my way up in mostly in the Oregon Air National Guard and then moved to Hawaii about five or six years ago and joined the maintenance effort here and did that initially for about four years and then moved down to headquarters to learn plans and programs and some of the staff work that goes on at state headquarters. And then just earlier this year, I had the opportunity to kind of lead up to the position I'm in now at the commander position of the Hawaii National Guard. So how big is your command? What kind of facilities and equipment do you have? Yeah, so we've got about almost 2,500 folks, about 2,498 is the complete population. We're on the four major islands, but like the Army, the bulk of us are on O'ahu. The largest kind of segment of us is the 154th wing on Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. They've got all three of the flying missions as well as many of the support squadrons and that's about 90% of the Hawaii Air National Guard right there. Then we've got some GSUs, we've got combat communications squadrons on the big island and on Maui. And then now on Kauai, we've got our nascent space control squadron that we were talking about before the show started. So you must get around and when you get around, you must take planes in the Hawaii Air National Guard, am I right? Yes, absolutely. You know, normally when we perform our monthly drills, we do what's called a GSU run and that GSU stands for Geographically Separated Unit. And so what we do is we utilize our own aircraft and sometimes other states sign up for this mission where they help us pick up our guardsmen and then drop them off after drill back on their islands. And so we've got some folks on Oahu that work on the outer islands and then we've got some folks that live on the outer islands that work on Oahu. And so we've got to get those people moved around normally to drill. Now, obviously with COVID, that movement has been halted and so we've had to come up with creative ways to keep those people in touch with their units, continue their training. It's been challenging, but we've come up with ways to work around it and maintain our readiness. Well, Moses, I'm really interested in the difference between the Air, rather the Army National Guard and the Regular Army.  I mean, can you differentiate for me what it's like in the one and the other and how it's different? Yeah, the only real difference is the times that we get to train. So traditionally, the Army National Guard, like the Air National Guard, were one week in a month, two weeks out of the year at the base level. However, in the past few years, actually the past year since 9-11, that has increased. We've had more opportunities to come in and train and more activities such as deployments that we've been on. We cycle through the deployment like Regular Army units do, depending on where the need is that the Army needs. We are an operational reserve force for the Army and we have to maintain the same training standards and equipment standards and personnel standards that the Army has. So there's no difference between us and the Army when it comes to the requirements that must be done to maintain readiness standards. One of the most important things that is required is our personnel readiness, which is like what we talked about a little bit earlier, which was our education and our certifications and our training. So if you would put two units side by side on active duty Army unit and a National Guard unit in a deployment, and most of the time, you're not going to tell what the difference is between the two units as far as executing the mission because of the standards that we both are required to do. What are the priorities in the mission? I mean, if you could list a couple of them that are right up at the top, what do you see as the priorities for the Army National Guard? For me, the priority for me is personnel readiness and that goes down to individual readiness, which means you have to have a good physical, you have to be physically fit, you have to have all your military education requirements done and civilian education requirements because the Army does have, depending on what rank you are, certain education requirements, civilian educational requirements that you have to maintain. And depending also on your military occupational skill, we have a wide variety of skills across a spectrum within the Army. And for the Army National Guard, that ranges from medics to infantrymen to cavalrymen to doctors to nurses. We have staff planners, battle staff planners, a whole wide range of skills, intelligence officers, intelligence NCOs, logistics personnel, and all those skill sets bring together or come together to ensure that we can function as a unit and be ready when the time comes to either do our federal mission, which is to be deployed in support of the active duty Army, supporting the independent Constitution of the United States, and then our state mission, which is the mission to do our operations in accordance with what the governor has and obey the orders of the governor. And that includes doing missions such as what we're doing now in response to COVID-19 mitigation for the state and supporting the state and counties. What are you doing now for COVID? Well, for COVID, we've established what we call a joint task force actually, and that is actually a combination between or among both Army and Air assets, so Army and Air National Guard personnel and forces. So Brigadier General Harris has some of his personnel and units and skills within the joint task force that we've established, and I have some of the Army personnel and skills across the state. And we're doing a lot of things such as screening at the airports where we have a task force medical setup made of Army and Air personnel who are doing assistance to the Department of Health in swabbing and you've seen the news with contact tracing for what we call COVID mapping and other type of COVID-19 mitigation education. Well, that's directly for the benefit of the community then. Your mission at least in part is to be right out there in the community and help the community. I was going to ask you about that. The other thing is you mentioned recruiting or at least by implication, and it seems to me there's a lot of people out of work right now, including skilled people who lost their jobs already. And I wonder if that, you know, how that impacts your ability to recruit qualified people. I mean, do you have the billets for them?  I'm always looking for people and come on down if you want to join the Hawai'i Army National Guard. We're ready with the sons and the daughters of Hawaii. Come on down to the recruiters. They'll set you up. They'll give you the range of military occupational skills that you might be interested in and take the ASVAB and we'll see where you sit or fit in the gamut of skills and we'll get you in right now. We really need personnel to help, especially in times like this with COVID-19 mitigation efforts. The more people we have in the Hawai'i Army National Guard, the more people we can have out there helping the community. That's great. That is really great. That is really an important takeaway from this whole discussion. You mentioned a joint force with you in General Harris and I'm interested in that. It strikes me and I'm not really familiar with how, you know, it works, but you have the, I guess you would say, the local commander-in-chief as the governor and then you have the services, at least the Army National Guard and the Air Force National Guard, and you guys get together and you create this joint command or joint staff. Is that right? Does it work like a parallel to what happens in Washington? Well, it works parallel to similar how you would set up a force to go and deploy for any type of contingency operation. So, we set up a headquarters with the necessary command and control elements and staff to planning and monitor operations and execute operations and that's the headquarters element. Then, like for us here right now with COVID-19, we create also geographical or functional task courses. For example, a geographical task course would be a task force responsible for the area or our land space and anything that happens in that area. So, what we have four geographical task courses set up across the state to match the counties and each geographical task force commander is working with the county EOC administrators and also the mayor to assist them in any type of gaps or skills or capability that they need that the National Guard might be able to assist with concerning this COVID-19 mitigation. We also have specific functional task force like a task force medical. So, I have a task force just dedicated for medical type support that is assisting with the department of health in swabbing, COVID mapping or contact tracing as it's known and other areas in planning and other operations. What about deployment general? You know, I remember, I'm sorry I can't put my finger on exactly when, but there was a time when the Hawaii National Guard was was activated and was sent overseas. I don't remember exactly when that was but it was it was quite something where everybody was putting his boots on and taking off for parts unknown for war. How often does that happen? Well, actually, you know, we've been doing deployment since 2004 as early as 2004 with actually 2003 when you're looking at our aviation units and then in 2004 with the mobilized the 29th Brigade in its first mobilization since 1968 and we've continuously actually mobilized units on what we call a sustainable readiness model that the Army has every so many years we cycle in units into to support the Army on a deployment. Our 29th Brigade actually had several units that were deployed across Europe as well as in Egypt last year for a Kosovo mission as well as to assist in the multinational peacekeeping in the multinational forces observers in the Sinai. So many years we'll cycle through a deployment or come up on a deployment then and it depends on the need. It's not the same type of deployment. Our aviation units always deploy every so many years to into support the regular Army as well. So it's become a routine event versus a one-time event and then a large gap. You get to go with them? Excuse me? You get to go with them? Yeah, I deployed twice. I deployed once in 2004 to the 2005 and deployment and we got out of Iraq in 2006 and then I went back into Kuwait as the Camphor Junior Commander back in 2008 in October through 2009 and got back in Hawaii about August 2009. So that's my two main deployments. So General Harris, you get to see General Kaouvi on a frequent basis. You guys meet on the Joint Command there. How often? Well, I would say probably once a month or so. I'm a part-time citizen soldier. I think he's full-time. But we both work out of the same facility down at Fort Ruger there on Diamondhead Road, which is where the TAG's offices are as well. So we do run into each other and we certainly are on a lot of telephone calls together with the TAG, working together to do everything that the governor and the TAG requires of us. But so your mission would be a little different than what General Kaouvi was saying. I wonder if you could differentiate that for me. It's not going to be the same and your deployments aren't going to be the same, are they? No, they're not. So I mean starting back with kind of the differences between the Army, I'm sorry, the Air Force, the regular Air Force and the Air National Guard. Mission-wise, it's very similar to the Army where capability-wise, readiness-wise, we have all the same parallel requirements. And that's for good reasons. So we can be embedded right with them and be transparent in terms of getting the job done. And we're both set up that way. The National Guard is set up that way constitutionally. And so day to day we are embedded with our active duty Air Force counterparts at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam where the bulk of the Hawaii Air National Guard resides. And so we're right here with PAC-AF headquarters on the Joint Base. And we're also in what's called a Total Force Association with two of our flying missions. And that's the C-17 and the F-22 Raptor where active duty and Guard forces combine under one set of command and control structure to get the mission done on a daily basis. So are you flying around the Pacific with these aircraft? I mean how far do you go? What's your area of operation? Well each platform is designed for something different. The C-17s are in the global, what we call a global en route system along with all the other C-17s across the globe. And they are all over the world at any given time. The tankers are similar. They do a lot of local support for flying with our fighter units. They do a lot of local support here in the Pacific and around the Hawaiian Islands providing tanker refueling to support to all those air operations that are in the proximity. But they also sign up for missions all over the globe as well. So they're very mobile, constantly deployed. And there's a continuous, we were also part of the Guam task force over there that the tankers are involved with. And so we've always got a constant level of participation going on over there in Guam. So between the Army and the Air Guard, you guys get around. The Army gets around, obviously in the Middle East gets deployed there and you're flying everywhere. And I wonder if the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard in the state of Nebraska does the same thing. I kind of doubt it. You know, Hawaii has to be unique because of its location, because of its proximity to other military bases and so forth. Am I right about that? Is it different between Hawaii as a base for these operations and other states on the mainland? Yeah, the Hawaii Air National Guard is quite unique. It's got the largest wing in the Air National Guard and having the combination of flying missions that it has is also very unique. There's not a parallel, not very many parallel units like it. And it's for the reasons you describe because our geography and our strategic, the strategic nature of our location in the middle of the Pacific, it requires that kind of makeup of our missions. So as you said, yes, we are all over the place. You know, one mission I didn't mention flying is the F-22 Raptor. Now, obviously they stay, they're a fighter, so they don't travel across the water as regularly except for depot maintenance and when they need to deploy to a mission to the Middle East or to Asia or wherever their task to go. But whenever they do that, they require tanker support, they require airlift support with the C-17s. And so that combination of air missions that we have gives us a ton of capability to move around the Pacific with a variety of combat power. And that's before we even get to Barking Sands. Can you take a minute and tell me what you've got going in space in Barking Sands? Yeah, we're really excited about the direction we're growing right now and that is in in space. And obviously the creation of Space Force and a lot of the effort that the Department of Defense is putting into space is something that a lot of Guard units are excited about and trying to get involved in. And we're lucky enough, again by virtue of our location here in Hawaii, to be considered for one of these missions. So we've got a brand new Space Control Squadron, what we call an offensive Space Control Squadron that we're establishing at PMRF on Kauai. And it's about 90 folks total. Once we get everybody hired, we've got about 22 out of those 88 folks hired. And we are also waiting on some environmental assessment stuff to get completed before we can start provisioning the unit out there. The facilities are already there from units that have been there in the past. But we've got to get them configured for the Space Control mission. And we've got to get the training equipment out there so that the folks that we are getting can start to train and be ready to deploy here in a couple of years. So how can I get recruited? Where do I go? Is there a website, a place, a telephone number? How do I get that job? Well, we, much like the Army, we're, you know, in COVID-19, to answer your question earlier, it definitely affects our ability to recruit and retain folks. And we're, you know, that's maybe the silver lining in whenever the economy takes a downturn, it's a little easier to recruit and retain folks to the to the to the Guard, the Army and the Air National Guard. And we're glad to be able to provide great opportunity for those that are struggling to find good employment, you know, on our side too. And we have great opportunity in all of our mission sets to employ folks in it. And that's, you asked about the differences between active and Guard. One of the big differences is when you join the Guard, you get to choose kind of your level of participation. You can do as little as the base, which is that one weekend a month or 15 days a year, or you can sign up for additional periods of full-time duty, active duty and a variety of statuses. That's right. And you can, you can get, you can learn your job faster if you go that way and you can earn more money as needed. So depending on what your needs are for your family, whether you, whether you've got a part-time job somewhere else, a school, family, you can arrange your Guard membership into your life, how you see fit and provide a great service for your state, your country, and yourself. Well, I want to turn to General Coe even for a minute because we're almost out of time. And I mentioned before that we need to talk about the role of the Guard, both the Army and the Air Guard in today's political environment. I mean, there are issues where the Guard has been either called, activated by, I guess, either the governors or the, or Washington to participate in dealing with potential or actual street violence. There are legal issues attached to that. There have been many discussions about, you know, what the Guard would do if it was ordered to perform acts that are considered illegal and where the Guard would get advice on the legality of a given order coming from the administration. I'm sure you've thought about that and I hope you never have to face it, but I wonder what your thoughts are in terms of a time when the Guard is actually a part of the political environment, actually. Well, for us in Hawaii, the Hawaii National Guard, we pretty much work for the governor of the state of Hawaii on a Title 32 basis. That's where our authorities lie. And so the governor is really our commander-in-chief. So as despite what the politics is out there, we are here to defend the state, the constitution of the United States. Should there be any question as to whether there is a legal issue with the use of the Guard, we leave that up to the lawyers to figure out as well as our own judge advocate generals, as well as those in D.C., National Guard Bureau up in D.C. Also, is that entity that can vet some of that questions for us? And then, of course, we have the state attorney general here in Hawaii that pretty much gives us advice from a state level on what we should be doing or not be doing in accordance with what the need is out there. General Harris, would you have anything to add or comment on that issue? I would just say that we're constantly involved in the political environment and we are always available for our governor to be used for domestic response, whether it's with hurricane response, whether it's with the lava flow. We have a routine of developing the task force similar to the one that General Kyle Evie already described for all those kinds of domestic response events. That is how we're founded constitutionally and we're proud to do it, you know, to be living in communities where we also serve our governor like General Kyle Evie described. It's who we are. It's who we are as founded by the constitution and we're, like I said, we're very proud to do it. Yeah, that's consistent with everything I've ever seen about the Hawaii Guard and National Guard. So we're about to close here. General Harris, can you go first and say what you want to leave with people about the equality and role of the National Guard in Hawaii and where you see it going in terms of being part of the development of the state? Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. We're very excited about the future that we've got ahead of us. We're developing in space as I already talked about. We're also excited to continue to develop our cyberspace type capabilities. Our flying platforms, we're continuing to modernize them and keep them relevant to the threat environment that's out there. We're also really proud of who we are in Hawaii. We're on all the islands just like the army and we're excited to work with the communities and local leaders to partner and align interests wherever we can and be there for our state and for our governor and yet also continuously trained for our federal mission, our Title X mission as well. So I think we've got a really exciting outlook for the future. We'd love to have you join us and be a part of us. And yeah, I think that's how I'll conclude. Okay, you take an older gentleman like myself in the Guard. We'll find a way, Jay. Thank you. Thank you, Joseph. General Cowey, can you answer the same question? Where do you see it all going? What's the role of the Guard now in these special times and going forward? How do you see it evolving as an element of state, I want to say state government, but the whole state? Where does it fit and where will it fit? Well, I think for us in the Hawaii Army National Guard as well as the Air Guard, I would say really our role is going to continue to assist and help the community. We were like what General Harris stated, we were founded on such principles with community-based. I like to say that with the sons and with the daughters of Hawaii, we're going to help you in COVID-19.  We're going to help you as well. And we're going to be there, no matter what. We're going to count on you actually. I think we actually have no choice, but to count on you in case of extreme weather, which is coming with climate change. Any day could be a big storm and we'll really appreciate your help in those times because you are our primary protector in those times, I would say. Yeah, so I've been doing disaster management since some, I would say 1992, Hurricane Iniki was my first major one as a young lieutenant. And over the years, I've continued to assist in various, as I grew up in the National Guard in various disasters and I continue to do so. So from my past experience, I expect the Hawaii National Guard to continue on into the future doing the same and helping the community. Thank you so much, General Kaweevi and General Harris. Great to have you on the show. Great to have this discussion. I think it's very helpful to the community to know more about you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Jay. I really appreciate the opportunity to tell our story. Yeah, thanks for having us. Aloha. Aloha.

And just to be honest, the MVP's over there don't be looking like this anyway, man. Shout out to Cube, man. Big three, man.  Oh, lay a, lay a maxi. Here we go. Come on, baby. Let's go sixes. Let's go sixes. Yeah, Paul. That's how long it's been since you've had that bit of a gap. What have you been losing without running out of time? Not only is it the points to rebound and getting to the final line, but he's in the game. He must be double team. It opens up the preliminary three-point game so that you get good looks. What's the clock that's inside your clock seconds? Let's go defense. We got to close out faster. Come on. Stop bitching, Lucas.   Stop bitching. Punch that shit, man.  Yeah, I eat. You got to eat, Joe Joe.   Everything with Joe Joe was little.   Right.  That's all I was talking about. What do you got? I don't know. Big glizzies. Glizzy gladiator. Yeah, they got to stay a hold of Joe. They decorated glizzies, too. Joe Joe, a glizzy gladiator, man. You ain't seen a glizzy out of 7-Eleven. He ain't like, man. Yeah. Boy, Lucas, we got a buck for the all-star too, baby. Give it to him. That's cool. I got to buy his errands under 19 points.  Come on. To buy us my man, too, but I took him under 19 today. All right, we're early back to the floor. You have to take a shot to the mass. Right up there, the gaffer here. The last to finish and clear by Paul Reed. Well, if you're coming up, you can have a kill. Killing them, niggaz. Ain't he? He going right at the end.  That's a skill. Let's go, Dev. You and I have worked together in every year. At any time, you can go and talk to him before the season, and go to his staff. If you just admire his work. Good boy. Let's go, Neff. And his answer is, and he's off to a good start here at 10 points, but in part of the number of friends and family members raising the dollars all in America back in 2019, from here in the Dallas, Fort Worth area, transition opportunity, Dallas gets back. Yeah, Paul Reed. William. That's right. Oh, wait. Here we go. Here we go. Right about him.   William, left hand, get up. Look, why is this crossover? Why is this? Doesn't it mean it doesn't look like my shit? Wham! Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. Where you going, big fella? Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. The nigga ain't go to the store.   Wham! Lefty. Kev, see me do that same move a bunch of times. First of all, I remember when EA, EA, tell me if I'm lying. EA had a celebrity game. This was back in the day though, right? He had a celebrity game, right? All the N1 niggas, all that. First of all, who won MVP? Yeah. Okay, cool. The people's choice. They put Get Down on the Ground on, right? My song? Yeah. I said, I'm not missing why my song when I hit A Straight Threes. He did. A Straight Threes in the road, nigga. Classic. A Straight Threes in the road.  That's what he did there. Got that joint. Kev, we need a towel. That's right.  Yeah. Oh my God.  Oh my God. Fuck, I believe it was that. Yeah. Oh my God.   Come on, go get it, Maxie.  Watch this. Watch this. Welcome to the workout plan. Welcome to the workout plan. There we go. Come on, Neff. Come on, Neff. Work them out, Neff. Work them out, Neff. Work them out. Hey, work them out, Neff. Work them out. Hey, hey, work them out. I'll just say, what he done made that? We got 17. Here we go, baby. Is Nick's pizza close to here? Yeah. Nick's for the dentures. Yeah. If you come up with that, put your Uber Eats. Yeah, okay. What's up? This is your boy, this is your boy, Antargo. I'm up in the bathroom. I'm just calling to ask you. Do you think the citrus thing when a player says, well, I'll do all the beats? No. Give me your answers. No, I don't think we want to win no player's Eats with all the beats. But I think it'll be going to be back. So I think we're going to win a bunch of player's Eats. He's going to be back. He's going to be well rested. I'm ready to go, baby. I got Kyrie in the under today. So I hope you don't get it with disrespect to you. But I got the under on him today. Max, he's got 17. I took Buddy Gill over, right? And what's the other one? Kyrie under, five and a half rebounds. He has none. Kyrie got two rebounds.   Dog, you sure I ain't got Buddy Hill over 13 and a half points. You got to check your slips. I thought from where you started, I just scrolled up. Let me check my slips. See, before we run on the floor, let's start the game because we've got to run back. We forgot. Let me forgot. It's not about the remainder. Once we started getting back, it's taking away some of the transition. We got a better shape. What can you say about getting Bishop Eats in one quarter? Yeah, he's really going. He looks really, really fast today. Damn, I don't got Buddy Hill. I thought I did. One for six going in. That's the first time it's really been open inside the game. Two baskets already. Had won the entire first quarter. Upray 9-9 in the triple try. Here comes Greene. Greene stops. So Lady Hill got percentage 10. That's a big reason why. He's made 16 straight shots from the floor. Most of them have been dunks. Well, if you level them on your big 10, follow up the shot. It does not take that the ball is going for the best. So he's going to throw it off. Disconnected the ball. That is a set. Palace here on the quarter. That is an eye-stopping, I understand. The bench, we're going to help you. One guy, Greene. Five points. Now let's do one guy, Greene. And that's the one. What are you doing? All right. I'm sorry. Never tell it to me once. That's just not the basis. You have to see the spread out in the score. And Joseph comes for ease. And he came into the game. Look at Donchich. He's rinsing and painting a little bit. A couple of possessions ago. He's staying on the floor. He's missed 18 this year. Conversation for his first MVP. He's been first team all in the NBA each of the last four years. He's just turned 45 on Wednesday. Had a triple-double on his birthday. Followed that until another triple-double. But he's defeat. Donchich catches five. That's a pretty basket early on in the second quarter. And unfortunately, when you play it, you have to honor the fact that you've succeeded. You have to answer early rebounds. And remember, you picked up a triple-double champion. Correct. Otherwise, he's going to shoot. This is not a perfect service. I'm going to play for the man. The lefty quarter goes. Now your ear makes the response. And now it's back with a two. Now if you say that now... Let's go sixers. For Joseph's step back. This is his favorite move. For his own comfort, he'll step back and create space. Now this is the first side.  Done made a tough shot. I feel like Africa, I'm going to beat you. You don't stop. Yo, we got some callers? What about you? So you got who you think better? JT or Luca? I don't know. I mean, no song. Steady long, steady wrong, G.D. Come on.  I mean, you got to say Luca because Jason Tatum is about 27 right now. Luca averaged 34, man. Nick averaged more assists and more rebounds. They both 6'9".  Luca averaged more assists and more rebounds. See, that's why I come down to educate you. See, it's hard to pick because Jason Tatum played better defense though. So, you know, it's as close as right there. But I think Luca get everybody involved more better than Tatum. They both score good. But I think Luca get everybody involved more. What's the assists? Man, Luca, we having games.  Nick had a 50-point- I was teaching Tatum sharing the ball like that. That Nick had a 50-point triple double, man. Come on, man, we'll be talking about that. You can't judge with that weed. He's stuck. Look at that here. Only it is, man. Luca's averaging 34 again. Damn. That's what I said. Oh, yeah, you did it. Sis. So Luca number two with the league has scored behind Joelle B, but he going with the scoring title because Joelle B, they play enough games. Did he's number three in the league of the sis? That's your 9.7. Average and there being 10 assists a game. Then how many rebounds yet? 7.5, average, 34 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds. And he 25. He just turned 25. That's all the motherfuckers that scored. 10,000 points before they turn 25, man. Come on, bro. Good pass, good pass, good pass. What was that?  Oh, it was 90.  That's good. Buckets. Come on, bro. There you go. You're alive. There you go. Take the wide open shot. Oh, I needed him to miss. I got him on the underdog. Rainy tripping. We need you to do your bro. Good, good, good, good. That's right. He got three. He got three. Come on, bro. Yeah, we mentioned another bit on ABC. I'm feeling about it. You're gonna mix and clean lots of pity. Come on, man. We're losing it. Yeah, I'm feeling good. To a two-spotted ease than Oklahoma City at Phoenix, the Thunder, currently tied with Minnesota in the Lost Fallen.  With the Dodgecitch shockingly having a lengthy conversation with an official, there's a lot we get to the free throw. It's gonna be over for a few in this second. Come on. If anybody that will listen, once the three officials have had it out, nice for the broadcasters here about it. Here's section five and two. He'll up the floor, but Dallas gets back. Dallas has not been good defensively since the All-Star break. And so the three hits the side of the back door. And then he gets up to the ground by Dodgecitch and then a full hit for a foul.  Yeah. That's us.  That's all for Dodgecitch. How is that a jump ball though? Yeah, that's crazy. Why no possession?  But that's all right.  No, don't let him make that. Make that technical. Look. Yeah, review that. They will be on it. That's crazy. Score a bucket. Yeah, Paul Reed, yeah, B-Ball Paul, yeah, B-Ball Paul.  That's the motherfucker searching the shot out, man. Leave it up. Ew.  That was nasty. Yeah, that was off the left finger rule.  B-Ball. Come on, B-Ball. There we go. You got to take him. I'm gonna ask him out for y'all. Uh-huh. I want to see them. Juicy pizza. We got some people to miss the voicemails. And when they're slipping, y'all smoked up. Hey, my name's Son. It's my son, he's man. How do you think you'll do better than take him after what's he ain't good to your every time in the playoffs, man?  You know, if you can get a team more involved because of the numbers or because the last team touched the ball, he tells the ball off.  Just take a nice other team, take on the ball, take off the ball, more team basketball. So, you know, what you think? Is he really more of a team player, like a team that can evolve, or does he just look like that because of the numbers? As he told me, this is the same Luke Adonis, right? That he told me that Saint-Covale Leonard and them niggas home. By himself. No other superstar on the team. Is that the nigga he talking about? I'm confused.  Neither one of them niggas ain't won the championship, but let's not act like Luke ain't have a 40 point triple double three times in the playoffs, nigga. When shit's supposed to get tight, when he's supposed to lock you down, when he's supposed to, they got all motherfucking, all the only person they got to concentrate on is you. They ain't got a game tomorrow. They ain't got a game after that. They just got to concentrate on you. Nigga putting up 47, 11 and 11.  Come on, man.  Jason Tatum could win MVP this year. Is Jason Tatum top five in the league? Yes, he is. I named my top five in the league. I said, big motherfucker, Yookitch, Jason Tatum, Luca, and Shay Gildes, Alexander. Shit. You know how bad I wanted to put Damian Gillard in that motherfucker, but I couldn't. Oh, go to work. Go to work.  Look, oh god, bro. That's one of the few things in his first say-up that he's blown by him going to his left and going by Alex Harrison, Dr. Gumpers, the second foul of this year's game. That nigga's so good. I mean, I don't make no sense, man. Come on, move. All right. Yeah, bro. See that? It's too big, man. Yeah, man. Oh, that's good. Oh, give up, girl.  And one, give us no fuck, and give us just the same call he just gave. That's right, don't feed him enough. It's like a cheat, if you mention the human. Let's go, baby. No. Yeah, why would you do this if it's a lie? That's good. Shoot that. I need him under 19. He getting that tonight. He's getting it today. Sometimes he'll settle for the three. That's right, yeah. But he's not doing that today. He's going to sit now because the foul's free. He's got the last eight points per million. And actually clean behind the line. Yeah. So he's not going to be able to do that. Or if it doesn't get talked about a lot, but he gives the fouls a lot of momentum. So back over the last couple of years, I was a major contributor. And you just wish that they, their front court people would all get healthy. And then they're second to it outside the corner, right? Come on, man. Let's go. That's a foul, Rev. They're not giving us nothing. Good, Rev. They bought this game. That's why the ball don't lie. They're double in Reese. They double in Tyrese. Oh, that's good. Wham! Oh, that's good. Oh, goddamn, Cal. Good defense. Sweet D&E's niggas up. Damn, buddy. Hill, what the fuck, man? Oh, man. Good defense. Good defense. Sweet D&E's niggas up. Damn, buddy. Hill, what the fuck, man? Hmm. Come on, buddy, Hill, man. You're supposed to be a sniper. That shit's supposed to be good, man. Miss one, PJ. Give me one, PJ. Here we go. Ah, give me one, PJ. Let's go, Sixers. Come on, y'all.  Damn ball. Damn, we right there. Oh, that's a travel.      Ain't no need to go talk to the ref.    See y'all after half time, man. Let me roll up, man. See what y'all did, man. See what I'm saying, judge. Come on, man. Come on, man. You see what he just did, man? Karee Irving just threw the ball around the nigga, man.  No. They about to show it.  Watch this. Why are you gonna make that? Hell, oh my God. You better make it. Let's go, baby. You need to air on JoJo? Not on JoJo. JoJo will be eating like a ratty eater. You gotta cool him off, pull over, park. Let him cool off for 35 minutes when you drive. JoJo will be cutting off.       And he know he stand out, like it ain't like he could blend. Right. Yeah, he sweat. Eighth time I remind him of it, he sweating. You know what I mean? If JoJo know if they see me, I'm done. It ain't like I could just throw a hoodie on and blend. I'm four. I'm four for six, man.  And my walk is very distinct. Very distinct.  That was JoJo. That's not JoJo walking. This is not on duty, but this ain't work.  North.  You know one of them chicks with legs, we all like this. But she do a pair of tights on. JoJo be walking like them, man.  We had got JoJo a kickstand. That fight would have been fair as shit, man. I ain't no joke. Get your motherfucking kickstand next time, man. So you can lean back on that motherfucker. As soon as you got to take two steps back. JoJo be like this. JoJo take two steps back and be like this. JoJo take two steps back and be like this. JoJo should have just sat on the roof. Just like floor. It's cool that boy beat the 25 cent ass, though. The other boy you seen 25 cent in that new joint you seen it, Kev?  Put him right in his place.   He got a get back for JoJo.    Look how he laughing.   You a petty motherfucker, man.  Right. JoJo's grandmother, everybody was dead. JoJo had a long ride home. Because they know him. They see JoJo, why you ain't tell them goddamn people you couldn't move backwards?  He was like mama. Grandmama, I ain't want to tell them. I ain't want to tell Gillie that I couldn't move backwards. Yo, shake that, yeah? That nigga grandmom told him you was on the floor more than the mom. He did the rockin' way.  JoJo clinked the ring with his uniform. I mean, with his shorts and it was a wild nigga. All that time I never knew JoJo couldn't walk backwards, man. Let me get it together. Don't worry about it.  Good dig, stay on this. Take that, cop. Put a brand bond on it. Hell, Momamba. That's crazy.  Yeah, that was kind of a little between luck right there. That was too skilful. Damn. Oh, too much. That was a late-ass foul. Come on, man, miss one force, man. Give us one, man. No, they're stillin', man.  Yeah, that really was. Right, Maxie, what do you say? Come on, stop lyin', man.  Lookin' like a Brute League Brad Pitt. Lookin' like a Brute League. The nigga lookin' like Brad Shit. The Brute League, Pee-wee Herman. Lookin' like Brad Shit. Out of here with your head coming backwards, nigga. You ain't no player.  Yeah, you trippin'. Give it back to cop.  That's good. That was a bad shot, though. Strip it. Yeah. That's right, the ball don't lie.  Yo, they haven't given us nothin'. They haven't given us nothin'.  Stop bitchin'.  Let me see where you at, Vat. Let's go. What's up? We all these, the decussionals. Be good for him. Be a Vat. That's that nigga right there. Denver is starting to look like Denver again. Yeah. Maxi. Yes, you called it. Here, Gene. All three. You called it, here, Vat. He'll give us all of them.  Nope, that's right. Nope, nope, uh-uh. That's good. Yeah, that's good. Damn, Nick. That's the second wild open puppy you had, man. It does not ask. That's good. Yes. Give it back to him. Give it back to him. He owe us. Let him work now. Let him work. Yeah, there we go. They ain't giving us no fouls, bro. Look at that shot.  That's an instant no headache. That's like getting sucker punched.   Like this, the MMA. It's not soccer.  Yeah, we work the wire here, man. That tiny bra with a cross, man. What's going on? It's gone down, man.  So we actually did. We think Kyrie Magsy is better than Kyrie Irving right now. Not Kyrie with the calves. Not the old Kyrie. I'm telling you, Kyrie, right now, you think Magsy better than them right now. Let me know. Yes. What you think?  My man lead the motherfucking NBA in a sister turnover ratio.  He in the top three, nigga. Yeah, he's 28 points, man. 27 points, man. Shoot 40% from 3-point range, man. Shoot 48% from the field, man. 87% from the foul line, man. Nigga, it's like 23 years old, man. It's like asking me, was Kyrie Irving at 23 better than Kyrie Irving now? Kyrie Irving now. That's like asking me, was LeBron at 23 better than LeBron now? Of course not. Is he still great? Yes. What you think about LeBron hitting that 40,000 last night? And also, they all gonna have LeBron on there after the game, man. We wait until the episode, too. I think LeBron is going 40,000 solidified as the second greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. If anybody already thought he was it. That's what I think. I think if we didn't actually see Michael Jordan play basketball, we wouldn't be able to say it's nobody better than LeBron, but we see Mike play.  Come on, Kyle. We need you to pull an old trick. Pull an old hat out. Trick out your hat, Kyle. Come on, Kelly. Let's go six years. Yo, you just seen that layup, bro? Goddamn. That was unbelievable. That's the second time. We got 11 turnovers today. Yeah, it's PJ. Yeah, it's PJ. Kyle, you already got 12 turnovers, man. Let's go, Kelly. Oh, that's good. Wham!  There we go. Yeah. That's good, baby. I think when LeBron retires, it's going to go down, but the NBA will continue to get better. And so how many of you is left on the score? I think when LeBron retires, the NBA only going to flourish. It's going to keep flourishing, because you're going to have dudes like Luca Dodgitz who just turned 25 who are going to be in a prong. You're going to have dudes like John Morant going to be in a sprinter. We're going to have dudes like John Morant going to be in his coming up on his prom. We got some great players in the league, man. You're going to have Shay Gildes, Alexander going to be coming up on his prom. These dudes already averaging 30. Luca averaging 34 points. He's still a year from being out of his prom. Jason Tatum. He's just coming into his prom. Badger Jason Tatum at 28. Hello, Henry. This is John Morant. Are you still about to borrow a house? You think you could be more aggressive and reach potential to help Henry? Responding to the agreement? I think you need to be more consistent. Anthony Edwards is a dog. He's going to be going into his prom. You know what I mean?  Really, man? I want to know this, man, about the Indian players, man. I know you've seen my mind. He's starting to get hungry. That's about that, man. I want to know how you feel about the heat going forward. You think they're going to make another one like they did last year?  I think that he got talented team, a veteran team. That's possible. When they got good defensive team, they can get to the playoffs anything possible. What type of sneaks Luca got on? Oh, they're George.   You hear me? His shit's Tutsi's ginger.  I'm a basketball player. I know when that motherfucker ginger.  You're guilty. I have a question for you. The NBA top 75, man, who do you think should be off the list to replace the lack of Vince Carter, the White Howard, and Trinity McGregor? A lot of people say Damien Lillip, Anthony Davis, and a few other names. Who do you think off the list, or do you even believe that McGregor, Carter, and Howard belong on the top 75 list? I don't know who on it that need to come off, but I know a motherfucker that need to go on there. For sure. That's Clay Thompson. That's the second-grader shooter in NBA history, man. Nigga got four championships.  Nigga scored, like, 60 points on, like, eight dribbles.   I don't hear that. I got four chips, man. I ain't talking about, like, him. He got four chips left in the bag. Like, I ain't talking about like that.  You see me get Joe Joe the low bags, right? Well, don't get him the big bag, he'll be the little... He doesn't get lost in that motherfucker. Oh, yeah, listen, too. This episode of Gillil Sports is brought to you by none other than... Yeah, look at him. Kid Vaca. That's gonna be your new name, Kid Vaca. It's distilled five times, it's filtered three times for a clean Chris finish. Nigga drinking straight up on the rocks.   The low bottles, too. Joe Joe coming to the bottle, coming to party with one of these. Joe Joe little so it looked like a regular size bottle with Joe Joe, yeah. I ain't sharing this minds. I'm taking this to the neck, look. You didn't tell me it should be probably... Look, you done took a little pop out of this one, didn't think I was gonna know this, didn't gonna try to throw it back up there, but why you gonna put it in the front?  You knew I was gonna peep at the hem. So you off the new hem today. Yeah, man. He ain't tell me.  Come on, Kelly. Come on, Kelly. Here we go. You into bias. You into bias. Clap your hands. Everybody for Philadelphia. Hey. 76ers.  Everybody for Philadelphia. 76ers. You just trying to get a foul, look. That's all you're concentrating on today, bro. Let's go, sixers. Come back over here without your uniform, boy. When this nigga ever had a jump shot, man. When this nigga had a jumper. Chad said sixers are plus 2200 to win the championship. Sound like there's odds of him being coming back. Let's go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go, baby. Yeah, Kelly. Yeah, Kelly. That's an air one, too. Now, when I was asking that, let me rephrase my question. Who's better than like, if we had to take JT or Luka, who you taking? And I'm talking about in totality over the seven-year career and I think Luka will have been like six years, five years, but I'm talking with JT and JT Markella. And he, year seven, year five, he went to the finals, Eastern Conference Finals, MVP. Year three is when he started leading the Celtics, when he became the number one option. So he will then leave the team for four years. Calvin this year, and you see what he's doing this year, he might go to the finals again for a second time this year. So who you taking? JT or Luka over the totality of a career? Let me know somehow.        Both of them niggas is great.


As part of Operation Red Lighters, we've been carrying out checks against the Interpol Stolen Lost Travel Documents database and the Nominal database to try and detect people who are recorded neither of those databases as they cross the border into and out of Myanmar. This operation has been concurrent with operations in two other SEN countries, coordinated by the CCC at the IGCI in Singapore, who receive all of the checks every day.


Um, you know, I'm figuring it out, you know, something in five games, and that's what we have a long season for. So once, you know, we all find that balance, um, you know, our team will be, we will be way better. But it's the real that we just try to, uh, as we learn, we try to, you know, rack up as many wins as we can. So it's a great feeling where you can do both. Greg Logan with new state. Uh, James, you said you've been focused on playmaking and that's been clear so far. But could you just sense, uh, the other two guys, Kevin and Kai, struggling tonight and did that kind of, uh, prompted you to take over the way you did tonight in the fourth?  Um, so I was fourth quarter, you know, the game was getting close and we kept going back and forth. We were, we had plenty of opportunities to take the lead, um, you know, to a higher number and they just kept climbing back. So we wanted to, you know, finish the fourth quarter off the right way. And I think we did that for, uh, defensively, we had 14 points and offensively just wanted to be aggressive with my shot. Christian Winfield with the New York Daily News.  Just curious what you make of this game and how you're trying to kind of like, obviously he's a rookie drafted late in the second round. He's kind of thrown into the fire. How do you, how are you kind of trying to help him along? That's the perfect phrase thrown into the fire.   You know, I don't want to overwhelm him, but I want to just help him out a little bit. So, uh, at the end of the day, he still can be himself and go play freely. But, um, you know, positioning wise can be, be more, uh, be more active. Alex Schiffer with the athletic.  Was that mainly with their zone? Do you think that you guys, most of us, was it other stuff that, that led to some of that zone zone?   So once we get adjusted and we see the zone more often, we see different, uh, different defensive schemes more often than they will know how to counter them and, uh, uh, be more efficient offensively. Bruce Beck with NBC New York. Thanks. You made it clear to us from day one that you are here to win. That's, that's the goal. That's the number one priority. Are you enjoying the challenge of trying to figure out what you need to do to help this team win the most? Yes, that's the best part of it.  Um, now is a different experience for me, but it's, it's still great. It's still basketball at the end of the day. And I'm, you know, I'm lucky to be able to do more than just one thing on the basketball court.  It'll be a lot easier for us and in our team will have a lot more, you know, flowing throughout the course of the game right now. We're trying to find it and we show really good glimpses of it, but it'll be more consistent.


Good morning! See everybody's still trickling in. How's everybody doing this morning? That was sad. I realize it's the last day of the conference, but that's sad. How is everybody doing this morning?

Containment, therefore, is to center around reducing the occurrence of 5-62 claim events, flying unreported SCP-562 incidents, and suppressing public knowledge of the anomalous components. Common aliases used by SCP-562 have been filed on major sex offender registries around the world. Evidence suggests that internet safety training also reduces the occurrence of successful 5-62 claim events, so this is to be encouraged in European schools. Description – SCP-562 is the designation for a phenomenon sporadically occurring on internet chat sites. During SCP-562 events, a user is contacted by an entity most frequently identifying itself as Sylvia Gaetman, Tom Hedge, or Dick O'Dale. For a complete list of names used by SCP-562, consult Addendum 562-4. Evidence of SCP-562 are non-anomalous and usually discarded after use. During an SCP-562 incident, SCP-562 attempts to convince the subject to attend a party. After contacting a subject and establishing a rapport, SCP-562 convinces the target that they either attend the same school or live in close proximity to each other. SCP-562 will then tell the subject of a party, dance, or revel in the area and encourage him or her to attend it. Though SCP-562 is very persuasive, there appears to be no compulsion affecting the contacted individual. If the subject refuses or terminates the connection without accepting, no anomalous effects are reported. Humans who agree to go to the party vanish in what is referred to as a 562 claim event. When next the subject walks through a door, they are transported to an unknown location. Tracking devices on the subject fail and electronic monitoring reports them disappearing as they pass through the door. Humans observing a 562 claim event report seeing bright multicolored lights through the doorway and hearing unidentifiable speech and music as well as a lingering smell of nutmeg. Those subject to 562 claim events are found dead in the nearest old growth forest at some point between 4 and 8 years later. Autopsies reveal the causes of death to be multiple organ failure, consistent with advanced age. In most cases, a large, though safe, quantity of honey, milk, and alcohol is found in their digestive tract. Just to trace the origin of this honey have proven unsuccessful to date. These corpses are found dressed in ornate and unlabeled clothing of extremely high quality. Rarely, the subject retains some item they possessed at the time of the 562 claim event. Such objects show wear consistent with decades of use. It is estimated that no more than 40 successful 562 claim events occur each year, of which the foundation is aware of roughly a third within a week of the body being found. The annual number of unsuccessful events is harder to estimate as these generally go unreported, but it is believed the number is less than a thousand. Demographically, victims of SCP-562 tend to be about 40% male and 60% female, mostly in the age range of 13 to 22. SCP-562 may apparently manifest in any internet chat site, but tends to target European ones. Addendum 562-15 In light of the recent batch of 17th century letters published by the Royal Historical Society, it is now believed that SCP-562 is not a new phenomenon. One exchange in the release is between a Lady March Grove and a Dick O'Dale, in which the latter attempts to convince the former to attend a ball he is throwing. Lady March Grove agrees to go, and historical records indicate her disappearance at about the same time as the last letter is believed to have been written. Lesson complete.
